I feel like he would have a good eye even without trying to, just taking pictures of what interests him. Whether it's the shape of a tree, or a cloud formation, or the way the rain rolls off his truck.
He probably wouldn't take it out very often, but when he does he's snapping picture after picture until he's satisfied.
I needed me some Li Lun, lots of Li Lun and Zhuo Yichen, with Zhu Yan still being present there as a shadow, a memory, a promise, and the glue keeping them both together. It's a Post-Canon kind-of-fix-it that spans across quite a devastating vista of experience, with Zhuo Yichen taking it upon himself, as he always does, to save the people that he loves the most (or rather, that one person). Li Lun gets saved as well, but definitely not by mistake.
So it's an M/M/M kind of situation and Li Lun's post-redemption redemption arc. I love that polycule to bits and now I've finally witnessed it being born (at least in my own mind :D). There's gentleness, and flirting, and teasing, and hurt/comfort, and guilt, and trying to make sense of things, and a hideous amount of waiting.

Summary:
“I think you’re mistaking that feeling for something else entirely,” Zhuo Yichen says cryptically, but then decides to elaborate, seeing no understanding on Li Lun’s face whatsoever, “You don’t have to be with me to get close to him. We don’t even need to be friends, you and I. Let alone… something else,” his gaze becomes somewhat intense as he says this, making Li Lun’s heart miss a few beats.
Hello >.< #22 for the twst ask game? It would be really cool if it was from each year level too!! (♡°♡)
Hello anon! Thank you for the ask hehe, I’ll try to not make this a big yapfest but 🙂↕️Also using this as an opportunity to spread my rarepairs 🫣
22. Favorite relationships? (Romantic or platonic!!)
- Generally speaking I’m drawn more to the platonic relationships in TWST. I love the juicy family angst that is Lilia and his two sons, Silver and Malleus. Malleus and Silver just contrast each other so well, and the way they both care for their father-figure in different ways it is so 👌 (Book 7 drop me more Malleus&Silver sibling angst) My most favorite relationships are always the familial ones… The Viper siblings is still the most accurate siblings relationship to me lmao.
- For each year though hm 🤔 I’ll try not to list some of the more popular ones cause I enjoy them as much as the next person. (Like; Adeuce, AzuRid, JamiKali, RookVil)
(Under cut for length! and some minor Book 7 spoilers)
- For the 1st years, I’d love to see more Epel/Sebek interactions. I lost the thread but I remember seeing someone say Sebek must’ve highly respected Epel after the Harveston race after seeing him stitch cause sewing is valued in Briar Valley. Hshshs I think it’s cute 🥺 If I ever see that thread again I’ll link it here.
- For the 2nd years, I’d love to see more Jamil/Ruggie or Jade/Ruggie (Any Ruggie pair with the 2nd years tbh) I just think Ruggie has some potential with his fellow sophomores, may it be platonically or romantically. (Can you tell I enjoyed the chaos he and Jamil did in Glorious Masquerade lmao)
- For the 3rd years, I love Trey/Rook 😭 and Idia/Lilia (Platonic). Honestly, me liking Trey/Rook was mainly because of @Crim0x0 (on twitter) ‘s fan art of them. Idia/Lilia because it’s honestly so rare to see Idia have a person he considers a friend. (I’m so excited to see how he’ll react when he finds out who his friend is)
- Additionally I also love Lilia/Maleanor/Raverne. It’s popular af by now but Lilia’s relationship with Maleanor and Raverne. Hshshssh the tragic polycule ever… 🥺
