Hello! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
I go by Rykian or Jingsha. I’m a digital illustrator and designer that makes mostly OC content and (occasionally) fandom content. Come talk to me about fish, AUs, or even better, fish AUS.

Personally I think he likes praise and attention (seen in how he shows off in front of cxs and lg, or how he’ll take selfies in front of his own billboards), but I suppose the question is does he equate the camera to praise and attention 🤔 or is it more of just. A necessary evil
I’m divided on it bc on one hand, I think XF is very good in front of a camera and he def peacocks a bit when he is. But on the other hand, is that just media personality? Does he prefer to not have to play it up all the time?
1. I think Vein, ruthless and cunning as he is, tends to be rather indulgent with things that belong to him. Pets, toys, items, people. Of course, Xia Fei is one such person and indulgent of him Vein certainly is.
10. In a way, it’s validating to Vein to know that he is so deeply ingrained into XF’s veins that his first instinct is to always turn to him. XF will always come back to his side so why does he need to worry about when he wanders? He’ll call him if anything truly dire happens
5. Vein is sending a very intentional message to the world: look at this man I’ve clothed and looked after, he is mine undoubtedly. You cannot find a single part of XF that hasn’t been touched by Vein—his contacts, his haircut, his makeup
9. I think Vein enjoys that XF comes running to him whenever something goes amiss. XF will wander and do his own thing, he’ll cause his own trouble, live his own life, but if something urgent ever comes up Vein is always the first person he runs to
4. The clothes XF wears—subtle but too high quality for a student to afford. The piercings, the jewelry, all subtle flexes of wealth for those who know to look for it. They’re small marks, but they are prominent. XF is covered in the things Vein has given him
3. But that’s because XF is HIS. He has no problems w kicking away lackeys. They mean nothing but XF is His.
He leaves his marks all over XF. Vein is subtle with it, ofc. He isn’t loud or tacky but he is /intentional/ with it
2. He lets XF get away with a lot more than he lets other ppl get away. He lets him get closer than others, lets him whine, lets him touch him, lets him linger. Ofc, he is strict in his own ways, but that is for XF’s benefit. He pushes XF to where he needs to be, lets him grow
