Maedhros 🤝 Wei Wuxian
Lost a body part during a miraculous and desperate attempt to save a loved one who was in danger of death
Said maiming was a proof of devotion
Said miracle, against all odds, succeeded
The saviour decided to save the hurt party even though they lacked essential information about the hurt party and thought they had been abandoned or forgotten
Captured by their enemy and thrown into hell, and survived it
Returned from said hell changed and so dangerous their enemies fled before their face
Tried to do good and make the morally right choice, as much as the circumstances permitted
Hated and/or feared by the common folk, seen as an evil figure
Adopted (in a loose interpretation of the word) (a) kid(s) from the people/family which they helped destroy
Lost hope when someone dear to them died as a consequence of their own actions
Threw themselves into a chasm in despair leaving behind 1 (one) younger sibling/sibling-adjacent figure
Canonically hot
At least three names
Homoerotic tension with their childhood best friend
#maedhros#wei wuxian#i don’t think they’re v similar contrary to what this list suggests; not in terms of personality and character traits but they sure do have#multiple shared elements in their character arcs. and as protagonists/tragic hero archetypes they fit into a similar narrative role#yes this about russingon and chengxian: the rescue from thangorodrim and the golden core transfer#also the tragic siblings: the sons of feanor and the yunmeng trio#the childhood friends are fingon and jiang cheng respectively#and the kids are elrond and elros and wen yuan#russingon#chengxian#note: wwx’s suicide by falling is cql only#also some of these are exagerrated for the purpose of the post
