I finally have time to write the third part of my
#ratiorine
series! Do read the 2 prequels to this fic first if you can :) I'm going to approximate 8-10 chapters for this one.
🔗
No one is more delulu than Aventurine himself because dude still thinks Ratio doesn’t like him that much 😭😭😭as if Ratio doesn’t magically appear wherever he is and talks about him 24/7
@avenqt_
He does! When Owlbert explained the SU mode's gambling function, Ratio says something like "I know a certain gambler is buzzing with excitement to try it out" 🥰
@xingyuetwt
Literally the most cohesive story so far. Not without plot holes but still, the overarching theme was fantastic. Some people just don't like to read blocks of text and think beyond the face-value narrative/plot. Just my opinion though lol
Every time Aventurine and Ratio file a complaint about each other as strategic partners, the poor guy in HR reading their report dies a little inside because “fking hell, these two idiots are flirting through complaint files again.”
Sometimes, I think about Ratio lost between the normals and the geniuses without a place to belong. Then Aventurine comes into his life and shows him what an idiot, normal, and genius all looks like in one person. Suddenly, those labels don’t matter anymore. He’s just him—enough.
Are you telling me Dr. Ratio worked on the new SU mode and added a gambling/luck function knowing Aventurine was excited to try it??? We keep on winning omg-
#ratiorine
I can imagine Ratio giving Aventurine a very challenging math problem and Aventurine complains but tries to solve it anyway and the solution spells out “marry me” or sth and that’s how they tie the knot 💍
Sometimes, I wonder when Ratio calls other people idiots, does he ever feel like maybe he should be calling HIMSELF the idiot because no one else can understand him? And then Aventurine comes into his life and he realizes no, he was never the idiot: he was just very…lonely.
Aventurine deserves to wake up every day feeling loved, knowing that he’s worthy of it.
Ratio also deserves to wake up every day feeling validated, knowing that he is enough the way he is and that his path is an honorable one.
Idk I just love them too much 😭😭😭
What I love about ratiorine is how they embody the sun & moon theme but BOTH ways. On the outside, Aventurine is the bright sun and Ratio the cool moon. But inside, it’s the other way around. Ratio’s the breaking dawn that pierces through Aventurine’s darkness. It’s meant to be.

@AraYuannn
People who aren’t bilingual will always say this, like sorry to tell you but I’m not blind or deaf. I can literally read, see and hear the damn difference between translations 💀
You have no idea how hard I crave for Ratiorine domesticity. I just want those two to feel comfortable, needed, and happy. Safe in their little bubble, a place only they let each other in because no one else understands them like they do 😭😭😭
@miamiamayaya
I feel like you wouldn’t even realize he was drunk, just that he was in a bad mood, until dude stands up and then promptly crashes onto the ground.
@marutsukete
Mafuyu singing this song alone makes it sound like he’s grieving in solitude but now, with Ritsuka’s voice in it, it’s like they’re moving on TOGETHER from Yuki and my heart can’t 😭😭😭
LQR: So you two are dating now?
WWX and LWJ: Yes, shufu.
LQR: Why?
WWX: Lan Zhan is a very attractive and good man.
LQR: Shut up, I know that. I’m trying to find out what’s wrong with my nephew’s brain.
@kafyuris
These people are deadass hypocrites because why don’t they say the same about Yuri ships? How about straight ships? Why can’t men and women have ‘normal relationships’ without being romantically involved? Just say you hate a ship and don’t make excuses 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@kidwitautism
@forestiens
@AraYuannn
I played on JP dub and it was clear as hell Ratio said “the IPC’s slave from Sigonia,” not whatever nuance the eng subtitle had, so I was so shocked when I saw people exploding on Twitter for like months 😅
Ah, of course he doesn’t accept Screwllum as his partner because a certain gambler is the only one he recognizes as his true partner 😏
I’m delulu for ratiorine crumbs-
@lz1316
I think of WangXian as the “right person, wrong time” couple. Their circumstances in WWX’s first life was just fked up and there was no time for them to spare for romance.
@rinazamok
I find it ironic how they say ‘respect your ancestors,’ but not everything revolves around the west. Like how some folks don’t know danmei, some don’t know Spirk or Klance either. Don’t berate others over a history they aren’t apart of. You vote your ancestor, I’ll vote mine 🙏
Ratiorine’s love language being gift giving because Aventurine made Ratio a bathtub-themed sofa with the rubber ducky and Ratio added the gambling wheel into the DU mode for Aventurine to play 🎁
Aventurine is definitely like that person who rolled 500 copies of their fav character’s lightcone. He has a thousand copies of Ratio’s lightcone where the doc is naked in his bathtub.
@croffeebreak
@Starskiff
Yes! Hearing that your life does have some ‘meaning’ and hearing that someone specifically WANTS you alive is different. Both are very important and I think the order of Kakavasha, Acheron, and Ratio was the right set-up for Aventurine to open his eyes 🙏
@Pink_Rhodonite
How is buying someone a custom-made sofa ‘screwing’ with them? Because if I can get a special sofa made just for me, by all means, pls screw me over.
@synonyms26
People don't understand that to move on from the past, you must acknowledge that the past indeed happened and is a part of you. Literally, you cannot move on from something that is unrelated to you because then it wouldn't be called 'moving on.'
If WWX was LQR’s worst student, then his second and third worst student has to be NHS and NMJ.
NMJ probably talks shit about the Cloud Recesses and their stupid rules (except in front of his love LXC) 😂🤣
@ConnorRadcliff1
@xingyuetwt
I feel like that’s a certain population of players 🤔I always play games for their story and lore so I’m that person trying to hurry up and skip battles (oops) just so I can get to the main storyline quest already 😂
@_Dew_____
The Jiang parents fucked up the kids so badly. All their flaws stem from them.
Like yes, filial piety is a huge thing in ancient China but still. Even Jin Zixuan manages to grow out of his father’s influence. I wished JC and JYL did the same before they lost WWX for good.
@bodyofkryst
I headcanon that aventurine only sleeps messily when he genuinely feels safe and if otherwise, he’s the one as still as a corpse because even in sleep, he can’t let his defenses down 😭
@mishikki
Ratio going ‘heh’ like he knows Aventurine’s gonna hit the jackpot with those two ores and that 5% of the winnings will probably be gifted to him for free😩✨
@miamiamayaya
The IPC is the cage he chose because he needed power to save his people, but if he ever had any other choice, he wouldn’t have chosen them. It’s simply a transaction done for necessity, not because he’s ‘happy’ there. The IPC is but another card/chip in his grand scheme.
If there’s one thing MDZS taught me, it is to be kinder to everyone. The world may not always be a warm place, but even so, there’s always something — at least one tiny thing — worth living and fighting for.
May we all make the best out of 2023 🙏✨
@kazzys_wx
Some people think commenting on fanfics is the same as book reviews on goodreads or something—it’s not. The comment section is not for rating, nor is it a place to dump a literary analysis. It’s for interaction with readers. Some folks need to understand the difference.
@7cadetter
@xingyuetwt
The overarching theme has no meaning if we don’t interact with the cast. It’s their different answers to “why does life slumber” that makes the ending work. The theme was there from 2.0-2.3, only explicitly said in 2.2. Penacony is a thematic-driven story, whether hit or miss.
@aventiotwt
If Ratio doesn’t deserve Aventurine, then literally no one does because not a SINGLE character aside from him so far has treated Aventurine properly. Like hello, look at Sparkle, Sunday, and even the Trailblazer? Topaz also isn’t too amicable either.
@okkoverse
Sunny’s words aren’t even offensive or rude. It could be taken as a quip or a harmless joke, not a personal attack. It’s something a diehard fan of Aventurine would say to everyone who skips him as a jab, not because they specifically hate someone 😅insecure much?

SMASH THAT FOLLOW BUTTON IF YOU LOVE, LIKE, DISLIKE OR HATE SKOTT
What if JGY returns to the past after dying and is so tired with the world he gives up on JGS, gives zero fks about maintaining his good boy image and talks shit back to his bullies, thus winning NMJ and LXC’s respect the right way this time? 👀✨
@yinlirs
Are they working at mihoyo or what because otherwise how tf do they know it’ll never be canon 😂 also canon literally doesn’t matter for anything
I love it when in some fics, Aventurine flirts a big game and then ends up getting rekt af into a flustered mess when he realizes Ratio has actually got way bigger game than he does.
Aventurine secretly doesn’t understand why Ratio likes bathing so much because to him, no matter how much he baths, he can’t seem to wash away all the filth and blood on his hands.
I'm in a good mood today and just ended up writing almost 3 pages of ratiorine bantering about cat cakes. Life is great and papa Ratio is a tsundere as usual.
@mirukupowda
And depending on the kanji used, “housei” can mean star and “Engetsu” which is Inhibitor Lunae means crescent moon so yes we winning again with the translation 😩
@K4shuu
I headcanon that they both definitely feel jealous or possessive but will NEVER act or show any signs of it because they don’t want to ‘own’ each other. They’ll internalize it forever until the other person notices something and asks what’s wrong?
Literally cannot stress this enough. I miss old fandom vibes where people just idk, chill, laugh, spread love and not argue about every little thing??? 🥲
a thread on why yunli thinks yanqing's flying sword is scared of its own master and why that's actually not the case
(spoiler: it reflects yanqing's own fear and hesitant mental state in battle)

@yukaigises
I love NaruMitsu to fking death and literally grew up obsessed with it, but even so, WangXian 100% has my vote.
Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not influential. It is THE canon yaoi story that broke the internet, censorship, and many more across Asia.
I'm trying to cook something up in ratiorine land and it's so much domestic fluff and sweetness I'm actively screaming and cringing as I write omg pls save me--
Omg I hit the 2000 kudos mark. In all my years of writing fanfics, I’ve never received this much recognition before 😱😱😱
Long live the MDZS fandom! You guys are awesome 🎉🥰💖❤️💙
Aventurine better have been watching that livestream in his hospital or Penacony whatever room. Or maybe he’s already waiting in Ratio’s room as if it’s their wedding night.
@kshahrerawr
It would be quite angst if Aventurine ends up with Ratio in the end, proving to Sunday that even a bird with damaged wings can fly with the help of another person — but that person for Aventurine wasn’t him.
@ThndrMge
@veryepicctoast
@raekkon
@MinaAoyama
Uh, Aventurine thinks he’s unworthy of being special so idk what you’re saying. He’s suicidal and needs to win because gambling on his own life allows him to, ironically, live. His theatrics are a coping mechanism. You can hate him, but at least understand him correctly lmao
@cherrydollrot
@Gintokiscumsock
Maybe an apology will come in the next few chapters? We all know both of them need a lot of help and time to get over all their traumas before they can truly have a healthy relationship. I just wish they won’t suffer any more 😔
@broken_record07
Ratio is definitely Asian parent but without the disowning part because he would never give up on you—even an idiot has the right to live a good life.
@forager_m
I admit, before 2.1 I had other Ratio ships but the moment I played 2.1, I yeeted all of them to space and they’re never coming back. I cannot fathom any end-game for both of them that isn’t Ratiorine. Like they ruined the other ships for me. It’s this, do or die.
@Ann_Mauriii
@lwjcucker
I think people are reluctant to use the same logic with WangXian because the name means something in canon aka LZ himself creating this name to represent their love. But as meaningful as it is, it makes it hard to differentiate the dynamics 🥲
