The music polls got me thinking. What's everyone's favorite OST. I'm sure there are other greats, but these are some of my favorites.

One of the things that interests me about Wangxian's sex life is that in reality Lan Wangji must be soooooooo gentle with him.

Hear me out. There's this very popular and widely accepted idea that everything in literature is about sex but sex. I... don't really agree that everything in literature is about sex, but I do agree that sex is rarely about sex.

Yes, Wei Wuxian likes getting tossed around and bitten to hell etc etc and Lan Wangji likes giving it to him blah blah- They're horny kinksters and it's well within the realms of normal and they're obviously both fine and happy with it.

But Lan Wangji lifted a monolith WITH ONE ARM. Thousands of pounds of stone, lifted like a Chili's fajita platter. Wei Wuxian as Mo Xuanyu has a very weak golden core. He is infinitely weaker than his husband on a physical level.

Which means it stands to reason that Lan Wangji has to constantly be mindful of his safety and what his body can handle and be mindful of that even when engaging in rough CNC sex.

It's one of those things that for me highlights the care and reverence Lan Wangji has for Wei Wuxian as a person and as his spouse and lover. He spent years trying and failing to coax Wei Wuxian into a place where he already was, and in this second chance he instead meets Wei Wuxian right where he is.

I find it very sweet, actually.

its the way wwx had barely any idea who lsz was and he still went that one. hes my favourite. and the way lsz knew wwx as the alleged crazy cutsleeve half brother of jin zhongzhu who was also in love with him, who was dragged by hgj crying and screaming and hogtied on a donkey to cloud recess, who acted supremely shameless, harrassing hgj, who is also apparently incredibly intelligent, powerful, skilled at teaching, and went. u remind me of hgj ❤️

For those who are not following or are simply passing by:

Yin and War are out on the field promoting Jack & Joker and Yin had some words for a few people and this man is out to settle the score:

He firmly denied some 'fans' allegations that he improvised romantic moments on the show — more specifically the head touching seeing in episode 6 — he stated that they are actors, and as such they follow the director and the script.

Not done with this he made it clear: stop projecting your delusions on them, him and War are friends and working partners.

They decided to go independent seeking artistic freedom, wanting to pursue stories without interference from studio and producers.

They actually got indebted making the show, having invested a sum close 40 million baht. They don't expect to see any financial return soon. (Yin actually sold his car to help fund the series).

Yin stated that one reason for going 'rogue' was to protect his relationship with War, neither of them wanted to make a product out of their connection — a stance similar to Daou and Offroad who have said multiple times that their relationship is not for sale.

When it came down to the characters of Jack and Joke they both said that the freedom extended to them as well. They didn't want to put labels or specific traits in them, like which would be the top or the bottom in bed, it could go either way, that fluidity was something they were looking for.

Yin was candid about the way people approached him since he started doing BL shows. His friends asked him what it was like to kiss a man and he understood that as offensive, "they never asked about it when I was acting with girls, why would that matter now?"

You guys can support them by streaming the show on IQYI — they will need it (I'm not joking they have bills to pay).

To understand Jiang Cheng is to understand that he's not the golden child or the scapegoat

Wei Wuxian is both of those

Wei Wuxian is Jiang Fengmian's Golden Child and Madame Yu's Scapegoat

But to both of them Jiang Cheng is simply the Failure

He isn't the son that his father wanted and he's not the son that his mother wanted

He can not live up to either of their wishes or desires because of who he is inherently. He is not charming or naturally exceptionally talented

He is smart and capable but he's not smart and capable enough for them

He puts in pure graft and commitment and gets only looked over or told how little it matters

It's not that he's to blame for anyone else's failures, it's that his accomplishments are meaningless and forgettable just like he is

And if you can't be loved for who you are a part of you wants to be hated because at least that means someone gives a damn

You wear your anger on your skin because it does hurt so much when you are rejected and it makes it harder to forget you

And god how badly you wish to at least be remembered

And you love your sibling who is both on a pedestal but being flogged for the honor

And you want to help and protect them but you also resent them

And they also resent you. At least a little

Because you have time without eyes on you

Time without constant scrutiny over your every action

Which is why the thing that holds the siblings together is the only parent they ever knew who truly loved them unconditionally: Jiang Yanli

Who of course was smothered under that love

Lan Zhan: HE WANTED TO WRAP MY HEADBAND AROUND HIS EYES AND SEXILY HIT THE BULLSEYE... NOPE— NOPE, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO ME RIGHT NOW. NOT AT ALL.
