“His Business Is My Business”

19 days has consumed my life

Symbolism

What this official art conveys to me:

Mo letting down his guard completely and relying on He Tian (undressed, leaning on him)

Mo trusting He Tian utterly (closed eyes, his bare, wounded throat displayed for He Tian to explore)

Mo’s wounds slowing healing and turning to scars, hopefully someday fading (he’s starting to be more sociable and self-confident)

He Tian protecting Mo (posture and the epee)

He Tian savoring his final moments with Mo while respecting his boundaries (closed eyes, chaste kiss)

Their bond being strengthened and visible for everyone (the ring)

I diagnose you with SIMP. It’s incurable.

A box full of them.

I don't know if people understand that Old Xian gives us different relationships on purpose. Not only does it make things more interesting, but it's more realistic.

He Tian x Mo: sub/dom, hot, intense, passionate

Jian Yi x ZZX : calm, solid, deep, respectful and steady

Mo x Buzz Cut: one completely loyal friend and one sort of oblivious friend/friend who thinks he doesn't deserve friends. Buzz Cut will Mo's friend for life and Mo will wonder why

ZZX x family: loving and supportive without extensive trauma. They will love him no matter what

Jian Yi x Family: mother is a fierce fighter for her son, but can't be present. ZZX has what he doesn't

Mo x Family: a loving family torn apart. It mirrors Mo's insecurities

He Tian x Family: while kept safe from most things his family does by He Cheng, he also doesn't see the truth of his family. He doesn't see his brothers love or protection. Being so sheltered, he feels isolated. This creates a need to make his own family.

Gifting Habits

I imagine He Tian to often gift Mo very valuable things (jewelry, branded clothes and sneakers, expensive trips) because he knows it’s Mo’s soft spot (him not being able to afford such things).

At the same time Mo often makes sexual presents, because he know’s it’s He Tian’s weak spot. And because he loves to dominate him every now and then xD Or he cooks him meals since that’s something He Tian didn’t have growing up.

Mo continues to absolutely destroy us… goddamn.

You will never convince me that TianShan doesn’t have the most intense switch energy, I mean, look at this! You think He Tian is in control here? Fuck no. Mo is calling the shots with his cute choker and sexy little garter.

I’m not going to be able to survive many more of these official illustrations by OX ❤️‍🔥

Is He Tian smiling, biting his lower lip or both? I need to know.

[agostise]

He Tian’s load of loneliness always shatters me when I do think about it.

No more mother, an absent and dispotic father, a broken/bent link with his brother, and an immense need of human touch/connection/sharing nonetheless.

He’s so starved for love it breaks me. MoMo has come to understand it as well which is why now he’s willingly roaming along him: to heal and comfort Tian while getting healed and comforted in the process, too.

Old Xian: thanx for the feels. You do master the cinematic storytelling absurdly well.

(Ps: Jian Yi e XiXi were lovely in their exchanges as well, I liked it too)

[atomicnebula13]

He Tian has this way of delivering devastatingly sad information in such a blasé manner. I don’t think he realizes how tragic that sounds. He’s not saying it to manipulate Mo into feeling sympathy for him, he’s simply sharing his life experience.

And, of course, we know He Tian is going to do everything he can to create just a few more happy memories to carry with him… so Mo, please let him. 💕

I'm glad they never change 😭
