thinking about the âsingle-plank bridgeâ and how wei wuxianâs circumstance becomes all the more heartbreaking when we contexualise the kind of person he is. wei wuxian is never shown to be an isolated entity from the very start of his story. even when he lived on the streets, he had a way of connecting with those around him and wheedling shopkeepers into maintaining his daily sustenance. quickly after he came to lotus pier, he formed bonds with jc and yanli. wei wuxian was genuinely interested in people and forging friendships with those he liked. his junior disciples loved him. he was canonically one of the most popular young guys in the cultivation society. he frequently interacted with the common folk in yunmeng or anywhere else he happened to visit. at the guest lectures in the lan sect, wei wuxian was able to inspire multiple disciples (not just nie huaisang) into following his shenanigans. he is also able to befriend some of the wens, prime among them are ofc wen qing and wen ning. for a story as heavy in interpersonal conflicts as mdzs is, it is a given that people and their relationships will be centre stage and wei wuxian isnât in the least lacking in these relationships. we see this even after his reincarnation that wei wuxian, even when he tries to stay disconnected, forms new bonds with ease. the juniors that are first wary of him soon come to deeply admire him and wei wuxian in turn becomes protective over them.
in short, wei wuxian is defined by his relationships as much as he is by his actions and convictions and thoughts. never once are we made to believe that wei wuxianâs ideal choice would be the âsingle plank bridgeâ, that he would be completely at ease with his isolation, that he would ever want to pick that option as a preference. in fact, the single plank bridge ideology has never been one that wei wuxian is shown to inherently gravitate towards or recommend/preach to other people. but that ideology is a last resort.
it is a choice made when his hand is forced, when no other comfortable option is allowed to him, when every door is shut in his face and isolating himself from the people he has known is the only avenue left with him. the single plank bridge is about sticking to his beliefs and not giving up, about doing the right thing no matter what because someone needs to take that stand and wei wuxian has never not been that someone.
i think that it is so crucial that the single plank bridge wasnât so much a choice that wei wuxian made than a choice that was made for him simply because he refused to give up on the wens.
he was denied alternatives. he was denied help. sometimes, the anti-culture discourse overcorrects itself into painting every heroic act that happens to be sacrificial as a default âhero complexâ and self-sacrifical tendencies, ignoring the build-up of those difficult decisions and how, in this story, in mdzs, wei wuxian wasnât foregoing the crowded broad road but that the crowd on the broad road had foregone him.
#and while i like the idea that ultimately wei wuxian walked the bridge with the wens#it doesnât work the same way because standing up for oneself and standing up for someone else is different#im glad wwx and the wens accepted each other but the cost of it was deeply felt#smth to be said about how the burial mounds represent not togetherness but isolation in the eyes of everyone outside them#this is much more scatterbrained and rambly than usual buuuutt i had the brain worm wiggling about and i got it out#wei wuxian appreciation#wei wuxian meta#wei wuixan#mdzs meta#mdzs fandom#mxtx mdzs#mdzs#jiang yanli#canon jiang cheng#nie huaisang

reincarnation/transmigration au where after being caught up in a freak accident both jiang yanli and jiang cheng find themselves remembering their past lives in the modern world.
now this wouldnât be that big of a deal except in their past lives, jiang yanli was a coupleâs therapist and jiang cheng was a divorce attorney who were incredibly successful in their careers.

MDZS Top Favorite Characters on Tumblr
(**Ranked by number of followers/members -people who deliberately follow a character tag to have him/her in their feed regularly.)
Wei Wuxian - 19K members
2. Lan Wangji - 15K members
3. Jiang Cheng - 7,7K members
4. Nie Huaisang - 4,5K members
5. Lan Xichen - 3,9K members
6. Lan Sizhui - 3,6K members
7. Wen Ning - 3,3K members
8. Jin Ling - 2,7K members

16. Wen Qing - 1,3K members
(* I used the number of members of each character's most popular name (e.g. between Lan Wangji vs Lan Zhan, I chose Lan Wangji), to be fair to those who only had one name like Nie Huaisang. And anyway, it didn't make any difference to the ranking if I accumulated the followers of all the names.)
#I might do the same for AO3 and Pinterest/Instagram (and maybe Tiktok)#The top 3 are always the same guys on fandom-platforms but it can change starting number 4 so I'm curious#also yes it's a top 16 because I wanted to include Wen Qing#Why is she so low??#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jiang cheng#nie huaisang#nie mingjue#lan xichen#wen ning#wen qing#lan sizhui#jiang yanli#xue yang#jin guangyao

He's constantly on guard with everybody, constantly facing rejection from every direction, but there's only one safe place he can go to, and feel secure enough to rest.
