wei wuxian is so misunderstood it's painful. "he's a remorseless mass murderer" yall. he canonically does feel bad about it. not to mention that imo guilt (as an emotion) is overly valorized. but more importantly, the discourse's emphasis on condemning wwx for situations literally out of his control undermines the novel's abolitionist themes. like the protagonist himself practically spells it out for you

they can ambush him, try to execute him. they can pledge to murder him and the wen survivors. but he cant defend himself? -> is he just supposed to accept that? when they condemn him for fighting back, the implication is that they expect unflinching, self-sacrificing obedience; that their violence is legitimized; that by delegitimizing the violence he did in self-defense, they can absolve themselves of responsibility. but how can he be at fault, for refusing to lay down his life? when the oppressed take up arms to save themselves, destabilizing the authority of the ruling class, and extreme violence erupts, who is ultimately responsible?

their admiration and contempt are insignificant. + he doesnt expect people to forgive him -> he has no interest in their approval. how can the cultivation world have the moral authority to blame or exonerate wwx, when they are responsible for the injustice done to him and still sanctimoniously monopolize claims to innocence and victimhood? what would punishing him even achieve? it doesnt do anything to transform the conditions that led to all those deaths. it doesnt challenge the institutions that forced him to be their enemy in the first place. and it's just viciously oppressive to hold a survivor accountable for patterns of violence he didnt perpetrate

like at the end of the day i think people are just mad that wwx refuses to be a conveniently pacifistic, self-flagellating target lmao. he understands what's going on, the politics of violence and underlying systems of power. he doesnt give a shit about respecting them. militant abolitionist characters my beloved

guy who’s terrible at sucking dick but he had a bad childhood so you have to grade on a curve because otherwise you’d make him sad and he’s already had a hard enough life

The three stages of shipping.

Stage 1: NOW KISS

Stage 2: NOW FUCK

Stage 3: NOW BREAK EACH OTHER’S HEARTS AND THEN MEND THEM SLOWLY WHILE TOUCHING EACH OTHER WITH REVERENT, TREMBLING HANDS

sometimes you read a fic because the tags sound cool. sometimes you read a fic because you saw the tags, said “how the fuck would that even work” and then opened it in the entire fic view at two in the morning bc there’s no shame at that time

thankyouuu for tagging me @zoemillinwrites <3

one piece of jewelry you can't go anywhere without: a really old really ratty silver ring. it has lost its polish. it should no longer be seeing the light of day. it is begging for mercy.

most worn shoes: i am a grandpa. i live in my grandpa skechers because they cut my busted knee some slack

new book/fic that has you in its grip: i cant possibly pick one because there are a thousand tabs open in my brain all for different fixations but one book thats been there longest is MDZS. Political commentary? Hypocrisy in moral righteousness? Selective justice & double standards? unreliable narrators? beautiful boys on swords??! 15 year old me ate that shit up like she was starved and goes back for seconds to this date

one drink you can't go without: PEACH ICE TEA FROM A VERY SPECIFIC LOCATION IN MY HOMETOWN. PEACH ICE TEA SAVE ME

latest kitchen fail: guys tempering choclate is very hard

a piece of media you have been wanting to watch for ages but never got the time to: attack on titan everything i know is from spoilers and memes i want to properly indulge in the full experience someday.

latest character to enter brainrot mode: i have a roster. this week its luka from alienstage and it will be remus next week once the new brave face chapter drops

where is the love for people who are manipulative by nature and are trying their best to fight it? we tell cluster Bs all the time that they're not inherently manipulative or toxic but what about those of us who are? some of us are inclined towards being toxic or manipulative by nature. some of us lack essential social functions like empathy and compassion, and it's not because we're evil, it's because repeated trauma degraded our brain's ability to perform those functions. it can be a constant, exhausting battle to not want to be cruel, but to have to fight your very nature to avoid cruelty. i think that those of us who have to carry that burden deserve love.

Are you ever typing something that your phone autocapitalizes and you go back and re-type it just to force uncapitalize it. Like no sorry mcdonalds doesn’t deserve that level of respect from me

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

dorcas meadowes who always had a soft spot for regulus black. she was the first to jump to his defense whenever he needed it but even she couldn’t go on when he went off and got himself the dark mark. dorcas meadowes who was the only person regulus black told that he was going to do the right thing because she was the only person who ever saw the good in him. she was the only person who believed that he was worth saving and regulus needed her to know that she wasn’t wrong about him—bc if dorcas was right about him, then maybe he wasn’t so bad after all.
