kills me to see homophobic lqr in fics. his favorite nephew ran off with a heretic and got married to him and came back MONTHS later like 'we're in love 😊 we still live here btw' and he was like. alright 😔 come to the banquet as husbands then. not enthusiastic bc he doesn't like wwx but not homophobic!!!

#he literally never shames lwj for being into men he just hates wwx specifically #homophobia is weird in the book bc it's seemingly all internal except that jin ling once called it an incurable disease #like it's there in the background assumptions ig but it's not something theu ever have to contend with externally #which isn't rly a complaint it's far from the worse thing abt the books writing of gay ppl #but it IS slightly weird. WAIT JIANG CHENG IS HOMOPHOBIC. YEAH #and ig lwj's shame isn't rly that confusing coming from such a strict sect w such a personal history #but the lan sect is also not specifically homophobic.#and like aw lxc was so supportive. but also I think a lot of lwj's repression is very deeply self-directed #so it's impervious to external attempts to dislodge it. he has to come to that on his own #but once he is there's no stopping him. even tho his self-restraint was externally imposed initially #ANYWAY. old man lan has his issues w wwx and lwj's relationship but lwj being gay is not one of them!!!#when ppl make him the token homophobic villain family member im like 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪#also of we're gling by the book JIANG CHENG IS RIGHT THERE #arguably also by the drama but I'm too fond of the mm/yuandao line to give up #the hc that wwxs siblings and martial siblings knew he was bi from like age 13 and were supportive #ficblogging
