🧵: Post-Lantern Rite beiguang dialogue - they've really grown very close, I'll dive a bit into the hints that show this in CN, particularly in the way Ningguang speaks to Beidou!

#beiguang #genshinimpact First, Ningguang is far more direct with Beidou this year. It's such a natural way to show how far they've come: Ningguang no longer uses flowery words, especially with Beidou - she's straight to the point & natural, though she often answers a question with a question still

Thread 🧵: It may be hard for us outside of China to see why #beiguang is canonically lesbian, symbolism aside. But their r/s reflects (metaphorically) the modern lesbian lifestyle in China, which is why this ship is so beloved among CN fans #原神 #GenshinImpact Caveat: in this thread i will (try to) use EN game ss-es so i don't have to translate CN, no significant difference in these selected cases at least

Academic sources (which contribute to all the essay ss) will be linked at the end of this thread
