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 ๐ we still live here btw' and he was like. alright ๐ 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 ๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช#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
