I did take the patronus quiz, but I can't remember for the life of me what the result was😂 I think it's really nice that your parents like energetic people, I couldn't even tell what kind of people my parents like haha - on one side, they probably wouldn't like somebody as... stiff as LWJ but WWX might be TOO energetic, though I believe they would prefer him over LWJ. Most of all they might like JGY actually (if he's not being outright murderous ofc). Anyways, WWX lovers tend to dislike JZX -✨
And honestly, I love the thought of WWX being a computer geek/good at computers, it really fits his inventive character! Also!! Your dad sounds pretty cool with fictional characters, my parents always look at me weirdly and tell me to "live in reality" when I have strong feelings on them😅 but!! Imo Denethor is one of the most complex and the best characters in LotR, of course he's really a dick but I tend to differentiate between characters I love and characters I find interesting -✨
Personally, I'm pagan so I celebrate the Wiccan holidays even though I am not Wiccan. I think they're actually Celtic holidays but I'm not too sure about that... My favourite night of the year is Samhain/Halloween, I used to love Christmas so much but with the years the festive spirit got... less and less. On Samhain I always feel the spiritual energy, though, that's why I love it so much! -✨
I was talking of Denethor earlier, and since he's a kinda asshole guy hindering one of the best things I was wondering what you thought of LQR! I feel like many people dislike him because he dislikes WWX, a fan favourite, similarly to Denethor and Faramir. And do you see any parallels between LQR and Denethor? I never thought about whether I see any, but this came to my mind spontaneously😅 -✨
Ha, no that’s fair! I think I only really remember that my patronus was a dolphin since they’re one of my favourite animals, so I was really excited about it at the time. If I took it again it would probably change though, those quizzes usually always do 😂
I think my Dad’s cool with fictional characters because he’s a big fanboy himself with his own favourites, honestly. My Mum’s just happy to see people having interests in fictional worlds and characters, especially with how happy my Dad gets with his own interests. I grew up on local trips to conventions and things of the like, so it’s no wonder my interests and love of fandom is the way it is 😊 It was probably their influence!
Oh, cool! I don’t know too much about Wiccan holiday and tradition personally, but I know a few people that lean towards the traditions themselves. Just out of interest, what do you enjoy the most out of celebrating holidays like Halloween? You mention that you love the feel of the spiritual energy, what other things about the holidays do you enjoy? I hope you don’t mind me asking, I’m just curious and would love to know more! 😊
Oddly enough, I don’t have many feelings about Lan Qiren. He’s a character that I neither like nor dislike (well. Maybe a little bit of dislike when Lan Wangji was punished. But not like, out right ‘this character is on the evil list now 😠’). I think the thing people forget is that Lan Qiren has a right to his fear for and protect over his nephews? Whether those feelings are wrong or right are another question - but from his point of view he’s already seen what loving too much can do and how it can ruin a person through what it did to his brother and how it left him with Wangji and Xichen to raise. I think he also sees Lan Wangji’s feelings for Wei Wuxian and worries that history is repeating itself (especially since we know Lans don’t really have a good track record with love). 
Given his history of knowing Cangse Sanren as well and the fact that Wei Wuxian seems to mirror his mother a lot, I can imagine that he knows well enough that Wei Wuxian is like fire and smoke. He’s wild and untameable (pun not intended), and not something you can catch and just hide away. I think there’s frustration there for his own past and whatever relationship he had with Cangse Sanren, and the fear of how wild Wei Wuxian is and how taken his youngest nephew quickly becomes for him. I don’t think Lan Qiren really knows what to do in certain situations either, especially since he ties himself so tightly to the clan rules that they restrain him. Unlike the Twin Jades he’s not really struggling against the rules and attempting to bend and question them, but I think there are a few instances where he’s like ‘rules are rules - even if I don’t want to do this, I have to’.
As for parallels between him and Denethor ... it has been a very long time since I read Lord of the Rings, so a lot of what I remember of the character these days comes from the films. There’s nothing that really springs directly to my mind? It’s not a connection I’ve ever really thought about honestly, but if you had any thoughts about it I’d be interested to know! 😊
