Wen Qing is unhinged master list:

Is the personal doctor/henchwoman for her uncle, a maniacal evil overlord who killed her parents.

Immediately betrays him with very little back up plan because her little brother gave her puppy eyes

Does an unprecedented organ transplant in a cave on a mountain with no running water or like. Any help other than her little brother. She had to kidnap one of the patients.

It takes three days and she doesn’t sleep the entire time.

The surgery is a success.

Rejects a marriage proposal that would have given her personal safety after the dude rescues her from prison because her brother is not in her direct line of sight and therefore fuck long term planning

Crashes a fancy people party full of people who want her dead after apparently wandering the land listlessly looking for her brother

Becomes the personal doctor/henchwoman for a different Dark Lord in exchange for personal safety.

Gets too attached

Sacrifices herself and her brother for the only person not related to her who followed through on promises and did their best for her

In Conclusion: Wen Qing is not a bland mother hen. And you can respect that even if you don’t ship her with anyone

Honestly I think she and WWX have STRONG ‘complicated ex who I no longer fuck but is Family Now’ energy.

Keqing character analysis

also known as “ Why I don’t ship Keqing with Zhongli, Ningguang, and yes, even Ganyu” (Also note: this is how I interpret these characters and everyone is allowed to interpret them however they want. Also no hate to the ships, they are just not personally for me)

For a while now, I felt guilty. Why was I feeling guilty? I just couldn’t find myself shipping Ganqing yet I will happily ship Chonqing, which is kinda a crackship since they never interacted. It didn’t make sense. Ganqing had all the making of a great ship yet I wasn’t feeling it. Then after Keqing and Xiangling quest, I began to realize why. Only now after much reflection can I put it into words. And it due to how I interpret Keqing. 

See, I have come to realize I view Keqing as the kid at the adult table. She highly competent, she’s mature, she works hard, and all the adults love and respect her for that. But don’t forget; I called her a kid. Sure she can talk to an adult, but put her in front of kids her own age and she doesn’t know what to do. I think people tend to see Keqing as completely adult like mid to late twenties because most of her interaction is with people such as Ningguang and Ganyu, and less with what most would call the kids of Liyue i.e. Xiangling, Xinyan, Xingqiu, Chongyun. But after her story with Xiangling, it kinda clicked in my head that “Oh, Keqing just an awkward kid.” She doesn’t hang out with the kids not because she doesn’t want to, its because she doesn’t know how. And we all know kids like this. The kid who’s the teacher pet or every adults favorite but you never really see them hanging out with other kids because they are seen as “too mature” for the others. But in reality, they want to hang out too but being surrounded by adults all the time, they never had a chance to. Never had a chance to goof off and actually be a kid. As seen in the story, Keqing wanted to be Xiangling friend but was scared of being disliked until Xiangling proved her wrong.

So I will now be discussing why I don’t ship the more popular Keqing ships due to this interpretation:

Zhongli x Keqing: It just feels like a kid who didn’t like this one superstar but got around to them after watching interviews and listen to them sing, and became a stan but won’t admit it. Its just a crush on a celebrity and plays into the fantasy “Hey, what if this celebrity actually likes you?!”  I just don’t like these types of dynamic in general.

Ningguang x Keqing: It has kinda a mentorship relationship. Ningguang is teaching Keqing the ropes, and Keqing happily learning. But Ningguang comes off as teacher figure, not really a romantic on to Keqing.

Ganyu x Keqing: This one is gonna be the most controversial but I see Ganyu and Keqing having a more sisterly relationship. When Keqing and Ganyu talked in Xiangling master chef story, it felt less like a shipping thing and more like an older sister interrupting her younger sister’s date with her crush (aka Xiangling) because their mom was there being weird. Also Ganyu voicelines gives off a more “This kid don’t know shit” to “Hey, this kid’s alright.” Keqing voice meanwhile is “screw you, i don’t respect your opinion” to “yeah, might gone overbroad. Sorry bro.” Instead of a romantic relationship, I see Ganyu and Keqing have a sibling relationship where Ganyu is a cool big sis and Keqing trying to be stand out and not be compared to her cool big sis. 

Now here’s a Keqing ship I actually really like (beside Chonqing of course): Xiangling x Keqing. 

That’s right, this whole analysis was actually a front to get more people behind this ship because it works so well but people are too into Ganqing to realize! After the Keqing and Xiangling storyline, it so clear that they like each other. And if I have to be even more controversial, I think its stronger than Ganqing because the two both give depth to one another. I feel Ganqing is kind of a flat ship as aside of “UWU soft cute gfs”, no one likes giving it more depth, which is completely possible but only a few have actually explored it. With Keqing and Xiangling, they balance each other out and make each other better. Keqing makes Xiangling more grounded while Xiangling makes Keqing more openminded. They are so cute whether as just friends or something more. It’s a shame too because they have a very solid friendship and strong dynamic and no one talks about it because once the story is done, its no longer needed. Beside the actual story, Xiangling and Keqing are really compatible in battle, and I know that’s a good reason to ship. 

Overall, this is all up to interpretation and speculation. I don’t know what Keqing real age is and I know people who ship Keqing with Zhongli, Ningguang, and Ganyu see her older than I do. I know they have their reason to ship them, and I respect that. I have shipped for way less reasons, so everyone should have fun. This is my personal take and is not meant to be set in stone. (It’s just a headcanon guys, chill out.) 

TLDR: Keqing is the kid at the adult table. Sure, she may be mature, but she are still a kid. She should be part of the Liyue kid gang but isn’t because she’s awkward.
