dang. thinking again abt zhongli being a widower
#also just the whole trope of character whose death colors an entire narrative#like guizhong's death doesnt loom over traveler's story but#like thinking abt them mourning her#talkative af xianyun not speaking other than to activate sigils during the war after her death#zhongli incorporating her cleansing bell and glaze lilies into the rite of passing#ping retiring her magnum opus bc the one who resonates w her soul is gone ?!?!#what the fuck#guizhong has two hands and xianyun is her nerd bestie#also wasnt her death the first time guizhong saw zhongli cry or smth. WHAT IF I KMS#i just know it took so long for zhongli to feel ready again to step foot in guili plains#god. there is no doubt in my mind that even if it took thousands of years it was guizhong's initial love for humans that planted the idea#for everyone to eventually move to liyue harbor#to experience and understand something dear to their loved one#OURGHHHHH#also not to mention lover's oath playing in guili plains. OH IM SICK#zhongli.......................#ACK. also just remembered glaze lilies like music#OHHHH GUIPING IS SO CRAZY#falls to my knees
