#lan is nice

[lgbtlunaverse]

Fanon likes to portray Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji as being jealous of each other because they fear wei wuxian will choose one of them over the other. Which is ignoring the fact that at least in novel canon Jiang Cheng did not even fucking know wangxian ever got along let alone that lwj was in love with wwx until at the very end of the story (in cql canon he does go through a wangxian phase early on and gets very confused by their "breakup" during wwx's sunshot era) and that Lan Wangji is mostly filled with loathing towards both himself and Jiang Cheng for 'abandoning' Wei Wuxian and not being able to save him.

It also ignores the much bigger point that both Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng are actually jealous of Wen Ning. And why wouldn't they be? That is who Wei Wuxian chose in his first life. He left the Jiang, told Lan Wangji to fuck off no he is not coming to gusu with you, and spent his days with his little-brother-shaped corpse bestie on his mountain in yiling. And then when he came back he immediately called him up the second he could string together more than two notes on a flute. Wen Ning is the real competition. (And he's winning)

I'm rereading MDZS and it just hit me that Wei Wuxian's first impression upon meeting Lan Yuan post-resurrection was that he was a "good sprout"

You guys... you guys... that's his little radish... that's his good little sprout....

玫瑰的故事 mei gui de gu shi (the tale of rose)

[disgracefulthings]

Nie Huaisang: Wei-xiong! Through some miracle my brother has been brought back to life!

Wei Wuxian: Did you use demonic cultivation?

Nie Huaisang: I don't know what you're talking about

Nie Mingjue: I don't care what happened, all I know is that I'm going to drag Xichen out of seclusion

Wei Wuxian: Wait before you go-

Wei Wuxian, patting Nie Mingjue's abs: Yep, just as nice as when you were dead

Nie Mingjue: ???

[naehja]

After Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian realised that the body without head was Nie Mingjue

Wei Wuxian: you will have to tell Nie Huaisang about it. Well, good luck, i wouldn't want to be the one to explain that devasting new to him.

LanXichen: no need to rush anything before having more informations about the situation. It would give him extreme distress.

Wei Wuxian: It gonne be devasting for him anyway. You have to tell him. It's his right to know. Right Lan Zhan? Imagine it was you, would you want to know about it?

Lan Wangji: Mh

Wei Wuxian: Huaisang will resent you if he learn that you not tell him that immediatly. He could hold a grudge toward you. and i would understand. It's HIS brother after all.

Lan Xichen: Huaisang is too soft and nice to hold a grudge. He'll understand.

Meanwhile, Nie Huaisang, having holding a grudge toward Jin Guangyao for years for have killed his Dage and having plan his revenge for as much time, seeing that the moment is very close to taste it and to see JGY lose EVERYTHING:

It's a-Yao's birthday! He deserves to marry the most handsome young master of the Cultivation world.

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?

It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.

Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!

But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.

Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.

I am really enjoying those overly-realistic artworks of LanFrank Hikari people have been making for such a perfect DLC costume. And as always I take things up an extra, unnecessary notch because I can.
