#Lan Fan: you don't understand loyalty

[clonerightsagenda]

While I am girlposting (waiting for my hair to dry) a while back I saw art for an AU where Lan Fan got possessed by Greed instead and I had the following thoughts in rough sequence:

That's one way to get your arm back.

Lan Fan lesbian awakening???

FMA can finally ascend to wizards versus lesbians status, specifically the "ah fuck there's a guy in my head" subcategory.

It would go so poorly for everyone. He would call her a brainwashed lapdog. She would call him a selfish monster. He would say her boss seems pretty shitty if he can't keep his possessions from getting maimed. She would suplex them both into the sewer. I would watch it.

@halenhusky309 I cheer each and every time someone says fuck Yunmeng Bros reconciliation. Because it's not about Wei Wuxian having a better life, Jiang Cheng never made his life better or helped to make it a worthwhile friendship. It was all put upon Wei Wuxian to be "the good friend" and he is still made out to be as a part of the problem for Jiang Cheng. Reconciliation isn't for Wei Wuxian to be loved and cherished (he already has that with Lan Wangji his chosen husband, Lan Sizhui who is part of Lan Wangji's family, and Jin Ling, the one who was a part of Jiang Yanli who he actually thought of as a sibling and the one part of Yunmeng Jiang he thinks of fondly).

Reconciliation isn't for Jiang Cheng who has no right to it, but fans find his end sad and think he was short ended. You cannot be short ended when you actively alienate yourself from the one friendship someone tried to put effort in, and friendship is a two way street. Jiang Cheng never wanted to meet compromise and understanding because he feels entitled to be loved while offering nothing but vitriol. He doesn't need to love anyone but he sure expects love and loyalty. Wei Wuxian wanted no part in feeding that because he was tired and Jiang Cheng is too self-centered to think outside of himself and that's why they ended where they did. You cannot have "reconciliation" when your moral worldview is so diametrically opposed and you don't even like each other and what kept you together is when one puts "You owe me" over the individuality of another's morals that are who he is.

Once again begging MXTX to please release Feng Xin backstory we don't know shit about this man.

We know he became a royal bodyguard to the crown prince at 14 which is hella impressive but that's it, the rest of his story is connected with Xie Lian's

I demand answers...

Like does he have a family or what??? an orphan???

All we fucking know is that he's a child soldier which checks out since he was unwavering undying loyalty to Xie Lian that was probably drillled into him since he was young and why he has trouble understanding other viewpoints(Mu Qing's)

I'm a starving fan please feed me. TGCF is longer than the bible and we couldn't fit in a childhood backstory. I'm specifying childhood because unpopular opinion I do not give a fuck about Cuo Cuo and Jian Lan because I hate the random kid trope. Like here's a random child that you never knew about. HATE IT.

Anyway I bet 20 bucks that I will continue to starve and I will have to make the backstory myself.
