Taxian Jun and his Chu Fei

So, many months ago I stumbled upon a photo of deers and...they were so Taxian Jun and Chu Fei that this art HAD to be done.

For some people who are confused on how Lan Jingyi grew up to be so unfiltered, free spirited and mischievous unlike the other Lan clan members, here is the reason.

It was because it Lan Zhan who was changing the sect and the norms for the better. There is a reason why Wei Wuxian is called Lan Zhan's freedom.

Wei Wuxian taught Lan Zhan how to take stand for himself and how dangerous it is to follow rules blindly and silently. Wei Wuxian taught Lan Zhan how to question, and also how to rebel against the wrong.

Moreover, the Clan war taught Lan Zhan the price you pay for keeping quiet and putting up for too long.

Lan Zhan took those learnings and cultivated those principles in his disciples.

Though Lan Shizui was soft spoken and polite, he knew when to take stand for himself and for the people he loved.

It takes a spark to start a fire. Lan Zhan's efforts not only influenced his own disciples but also the disciples of other sects.

This is why the disciples fearlessly started raising their voices against the stubborn elders who were driven by herd mentality, rumors and spite. They had a voice of their own... something that Lan Zhan gained only after tolerating and losing a lot.

Lan Zhan was raising a generation that was harder to indoctrinate and suppress.

The weakening of the Lan Clan's core principles and the disciples owning their own voices was a subtle commentary on the weakening of the authoritarian regime prevalent in the previous generations of all the clans.

Thus, Jingyi symbolises the changes brought in by Lan Zhan's efforts.

[At the Pledge Conference] Wei Wuxian: “Ladies and gentlemen” is unnecessarily gendered, overly formal, lengthy, and honestly I’m falling asleep already. Wei Wuxian: “Cowards”, on the other hand, is inclusive to all genders, casual and fun, short and to the point, exciting, and dramatic.

Hua Chengs Budaoweng Dolls

and their bitter irony..

How do ghosts get their powers? Some type of cultivation path. Like how Blackwater eats water ghosts and Qi Rong tries to copy this by eating people.

Hua Chengs cultivation path is Xie Lian. Everything he’s capable of is Xie Lian. The butterflies, the crimson rain, the luck. And yes, even the budaoweng dolls.

What is a budaoweng doll?

It’s a doll that is weighted so when knocked over it stands upright.

Impossible not to see the symbolic meaning there, am I right? Just in case: Xie Lian is a living budaoweng doll. He gets knocked down constantly and has no choice but to get right back up again.

Now for the dark irony of turning foes into budaoweng dolls..

It is both a tribute to Xie Lian, and punishment for its victims.

He is making them powerless, yet forcing them stand back up no matter how many times they’re knocked down. They can do nothing but get up.

He’s forcing resilience onto them while making them helpless. He’s mocking them. He’s making others feel a fraction of what Xie Lian felt.

“You pretend to be so righteous and upright? Well.. now you’re at least upright.”

It’s brilliant. It’s beautiful. It’s poetic justice. It’s little things like this that make me fall in love with tgcf over and over

none of you understand the core theme of MDZS, because it tackles a fundamentally unpleasant subject. How debt is coercive, abusive, and corrodes a relationship, even if it might seem like it makes people tied to you. There's a reason that WWX's love confession contains a disclaimer about how his love for LWJ is not because he is indebted to him. There's a reason LWJ does not confess, or push WWX for a relationship. WWX is hypersensitive to the debts he owes, whether to the Jiangs, to the Wens, or even to Jin Ling. LWJ does not want a relationship where WWX feels the need to repay him. Thus, "no sorries, or thank yous between us".

Honestly, the reason a lot of people don't understand this theme is because they are stuck on the idea that WWX owes someone something, anything, they think his sensitivity to debt is something to be encouraged. But, it's not a good thing, and it eats away at him, bit by bit. That's the story of his first life. LWJ is his reward, essentially, and represents freedom from debt, a love that does not contain the subtle and corrosive coercion of debt

imo a discord server should be like a breakout room for fandom. like the place to run your wips by your besties or discuss your otp in more detail with a few people who were insane about it on your post or organise events with a handful of trusted mutuals etc etc. if it’s where ALL the fandom activity is going to happen it will inevitably foster a cliquey environment where the fandom is divided into “those in the server” and “those who aren’t”, lurking is disincentivised if not made outright impossible, people who feel uncomfortable joining in conversations and would rather interact with fandom through reblogging etc are largely excluded because there’s no repost mechanism, and the fandom itself becomes an enclosed space so new fans are limited in how much content and meta they can access without having to make the plunge into Joining The In Group, there’s limited scope for interaction between different communities within the same fandom, god it’s just an altogether dogshit stupid idea. what if we moved all fandom activity to really massive private groupchats. STUPID

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through
