so much yaoi yay (insane)

I feel like both Mr. "Use Me As You Wish" Aventurine and Dr. Veritas "I'm A Supporting Character" Ratio both have self-esteem problems. How do they prove their worth to the Trailblazer? Aventurine—by showering us with expensive gifts. Ratio—by offering academic opportunities, technical help, his consultation, and so on.

Imagine them together in a relationship (as friends or something more), constantly feeling inadequate, trying to prove their worth to each other the only way they know. Caught in an ever-escalating endless exchange of extravagant but useless gifts:

"I just happened to come by this diamond-encrusted marble inkwell. I thought you might like it, Doc."

"My friend Professor So-and-so is conducting a lecture series on "The history of monetary chance-based recreational activities in post-inductrial societies" next month. I thought you might be interested, so I asked him to reserve a place for you."

"I had my tailor embroider golden laurels on your favorite lab coat."

"I took the liberty to install a nanoprocessor and a holographic screen on your gun so that you could read the latest news while practicing at the shooting range."

Same.

Thank you Derek, menswear guide, for reminding me why paying more to be free advertising for brands is dumb.

Shen Qingqiu: Some people are so beautiful that they are irresistible to both men and women... it's not gay to be attracted to them. There is literally nothing else you can do.

Xie Lian: You are so right. Or if you happen to have to kiss them to exchange spiritual energy, it doesn't mean you have feelings for one another.

Wei Wuxian: True. Also sometimes guy friends just need to get naked together and touch one another and make each other climax. Just normal friend stuff.

Shen Qingqiu: ....

Xie Lian: ....

Shen Qingqiu: ....exactly. You guys get it.

1. The Tactical Ceiling Advantage

Chuuya doesn’t just stand on the ceiling—he weaponises it. Mid-fight, he’ll dodge an attack by casually flipping upwards, forcing his opponent to scramble just to track him. It’s almost unfair. No one ever looks up when fighting indoors, and he uses that to his full advantage. Dazai, of course, makes it a point to always look up. It’s saved his life more than once.

2. The Mafia Has Given Up

At this point, Mori doesn’t even question it. Kouyou doesn’t even look when she scolds him to get down. The Black Lizard has stopped reacting entirely. Higuchi still flinches. Tachihara once made the mistake of standing under him—Chuuya dropped down and nearly gave him a heart attack.

3. It’s Not Just for Battle

Chuuya claims he only does it for practicality, but the truth? It’s a habit. When he’s thinking, he sometimes finds himself pacing along the ceiling like it’s the floor. When he’s drinking, he’ll kick back upside down like it’s the most normal thing in the world. One time, he fell asleep up there and woke up to find Dazai had stacked chairs trying to reach him.
