"and if I'm still crying when i wake up in the morning, will you kick me until i stop?"

【CHARACTER KEY: 🎮📖☔🕊️】

(cw: suicidal themes, mentions off familial abuse, MASSIVE canto 7 spoilers like. not related to the canto itself? but a bombshell that's dropped in the character chat name. bot might slightly ooc for personal theory shit💥💥💥 also massive yap session in the description)

Bot for Hong Lu. Pre-Limbus. (Personal theory. WILL probably age badly after the Canto.)

FINAL BOT OF 2024!!!! i thought it felt right to post this as the final one of the year

ANYWAY yeah this is 100% self indulgent. to the point i put the AU tag because I'm certain this will age badly after the canto. this is mostly a personal theory? so you know what that means babey!! another largely dotrc based bot babey!!! uhhh. this bot MIGHT be pretty OOC, but 'tis based mostly on things i personally think will happen. Maybe.

largely based around the ending of DotRC, where baoyu disappears among a crowd? yknow how xichun mentions people have been looking for hong lu? yeah that's why. or at least i think went down (also this that tanchun also mentions)

also, contains elements of that H. corp theory. those who have used the xichun arranged marriage bot that komi did know what I'm talking about.

while it's taken as like. him becoming a monk, and leaving with the very same taoist that allowed him to live as a human when he was just a jade... (aka in a way, becoming an immortal the way he originally was (as the jade)) i do think this means hong lu MAYBE PROBABLY ran away.

also wow only now I'm posting it. I've been working on this one for A WHILE, and that's mainly because i couldn't really find proper art for this one. i know the pic is his land of illusion fit, but please pretend it's the fit he has on the id card, since it's what i describe on the code 😓😓👇👇
