#lan wangji deserves love

[nyx-the-reader]

Ok so rant time .....

First, this post is not Wei Wuxian critical.....

I know many people are like "oh! Lan Wangji was so mean to Wei Wuxian during their Cloud Recess study era for absolutely no reason". Well I actually disagree. If a person, even if they are my crush (let's be honest, at that point it was only a crush on Wei Wuxian not full on love) tried to touch any part of my body without my consent, I would react with anger as well. The Lans grow up believing that the ribbon is a part of themselves just as their eyes or ears are. It doesn't matter that Wei Wuxian is not from Gusu, he is still on their territory but has no respect for them anyways. I understand many of Gusu rules are frankly bullshit but it's still Lan Wangji's belief system if nothing else. Here is a person who keeps touching you without consent and then just to annoy you slips spring books to your reading material. If Lan wangji had been a girl, this would have been grounds for Lan Wangji to be forced to marry Wei Wuxian. I know Wei Wuxian doesn't know the meaning of the ribbon but come on it's literally one of the rules he had to copy several time. He is a genius who did recite all those rules to Wen Chao. Lan wangji believing that Wei wuxian knows the meaning of the ribbon also makes sense as it's right there, literally everyone knows, even Jiang Cheng. Which I think also makes him angry because from Lan Wangji's perspective the guy he is crushing on keeps making this joke on the expense of something so sacred to Lan Wangji. So Lan wangji reacting in anger is actually more sense than anything. As for the always punishing Wei Wuxian part, Wei Wuxian breaks the rules for fun. Again many of Gusu rules do not make sense but they are still the rules of the place you are residing. Lan wangji punishing Wei Wuxian is not some weird kink on his part, he is the appointed disciplinarian for the whole class. It's literally his responsibility. You can't expect him to shrink his duties for a boy he just met, he wouldn't be the Lan Wangji if he did. Look I love Wei Wuxian but he is one oblivious dude. And as they grow old Lan Wangji also does not do a great job at expressing himself either. But to blame Lan Wangji solely for "The Misunderstanding" does not work either. They grow up, Lan Wangji has to learn to stand up to his own family, to his own mistakes. He breaks and remakes his own morals, he forges his own understanding of rules, learns to live with consequences of his actions and inactions. So for me, Lan Wangji is not perfect but I relate and understand him more.

I LOVE how cute wei ying finds lan zhan after his reincarnation, like as soon as they’re working together he goes back to having his First Crush and it’s adorable, how innocently in love he still is. being surprised about how lan zhan teases back now, how cute he found drunk lan zhan, the teasing and clinging coming so easily. you can really tell, for wei ying, it has only been a few years of separation 🥺

i do really adore the tgcf/mdzs top dynamic of "i love this extremely traumatized man so im going to follow him around and enable him to do whatever he wants"

The boy patting tournament has taken a competitive turn

the main (read: only) reason that I actually legit like the "lan wangji as chief cultivator" ending of cql (as opposed to many other people, I have gathered) is specifically because he's horribly unsuited for it and i find it really, really funny.

lan wangji, who has spent his entire life being incredibly Not Involved in wider society, suddenly in charge of the whole cultivation world. forced to take total responsibility for cultivation politics. he'll hate it so much. get wreckt buddy

[ID: a page of sketches of lan wangji and wei wuxian from mo dao zu shi. The largest is a chest-up drawing of wangji smiling fondly at a miffy plushie, with a tag hanging off its wrist with a red heart. above his head is a small sketch of wei wuxian looking at the miffy at a stall and saying 'holy shit its perfect'. In the bottom corner, there is a shelf with a Little Apple donkey plushie, and a miffy plushie side by side, below this is wangji and wuxian looking at the shelf. There is also a chibi headshot of wangji and miffy with the words 'best friends' written around them. end ID]

T, WIP, Series, 15k, Wangxian

Summary: “Please tell me if I have understood correctly.” An inclination of his head invites her to continue. “My sons, who currently visit me only once a month, will now be allowed to see me only once every other month. And then, after a cycle of this, it will be only once per season. And then after that, I presume, I will see them only once a year.” Or not at all. That is no doubt the ultimate aim. Not at all. Madam Lan lives long enough to take back some agency--and her sons. Kay's comments: This series is not yet completed, but the first two stories are finished and they can be read as standalones. I really love it when Mama Lan is given a) a name b) the chance to run away with her children. Women looking out for women was awesome in this story and Wangxian's first meeting during the Sunshot Campaign was great too! They are immediately so gone for each other. Excerpt: When A-Zhan arrives right after breakfast, she is as composed as she ever is. He doesn’t run up the steps anymore, not like he used to, the sound of his little drumming feet waking joy in her heart. They had put a stop to that when he was four years old, and for almost three years now, he has walked carefully up the stairs in steps as measured as his uncle’s. He works so hard, her sweet boy, to maintain the control they demand of him. She misses the enthusiasm of his toddlerhood, but even now, when the doors open, his eyes light up, brighter than sunlight, warmer than flame. She sees him knot his little hands into fists, the only evidence of how hard he is working to keep himself from running to her as he walks steadily across the floor. But when he reaches her, he falls into her arms with the same heartrending sigh, and he rubs his face against the silk of her clothes like he did as a baby. She pulls him close, buries her face in the silk and scent of his hair, and holds him until the clearing of a throat makes her loosen her arms. She is never allowed to be alone with her children; there’s always someone watching them. Today it’s the sour-faced lady with the streaks of grey in her hair standing just inside the door—it’s always her these days. In times past, it was sometimes a short, round old lady whose face was always blank but whose eyes were sad when they looked at her. But someone besides Jing Yufei must have noticed, for they don’t let that woman chaperone anymore. Now it is always one of the women whose expressions make it clear they see her as a murderer, not a mother. It dampens the joy her sons bring her, but she has learned to ignore it.

Since it's the beginning of Xiantober, I thought I'd start it off by re-sharing a fic I wrote for WWXs birthday last year 🥰🎨🖌️

Shades Of Our Souls

Newly famous artist, Wei Wuxian, is begrudgingly roped into auctioning off a week's worth of art lessons at a pretentious charity auction. As the gavel is about to fall, locking in the final bid, a deep voice calls out from somewhere in the shadows.

Defeating the competition in one fell swoop, the handsome stranger stakes his claim on the young man's spare time.

But is that all he's after? Wei Ying certainly hopes not...

Check out the beautiful art @daynight139 created especially for the story, it's so pretty!! 😍
