Lan Wangji: i kept the peony wei ying had on his chest pressed for 13 years in a notebbok he wrote in and placed emperor's smile beneath the floorboards of my home in case he returned.

Hua Cheng: well, I kept the red pearl earring that dianxia wore when he saved me and weaved it into my hair to keep him close forever. I also built him 10k statues and a giant statue right in the kiln of mt tonglu.

Luo Binghe: i kept shizun's dead body perfectly preserved in a special room inside my palace for 5 years

Lan Wangji:

Hua Cheng:

Luo Binghe: what

Acespec Jiang Cheng writers, you are doing the world a service. I have never felt more seen than when people give this man all the complicated feelings that come along with ace-ness: The embarassment at feeling 'left behind' by peers, the want to Want, the worry that your partner is suffering silently because you can't give those things others can, the confusion and discomfort. Gosh. He's the one character I feel is always written so raw when he's written acespec, maybe especially because he's really bad at platonic relationships, so is never in the 'well he has other kinds of love to make up for it' the way other acespec characters in fiction often do. I don't even have a point here really. Just... yeah acespec Jiang Cheng you have my entire heart and soul okay?

Wei Wuxian should be able to get drunk for once. I think he'd either be singing bawdy drinking songs on the roof of the Jingshi or he'd be getting irrevocably lost no matter where he is. He's found in the bushes behind the mountains like a cryptid, and then he's like "I can't believe you all got lost" (extremely slurred) as if he didn't get embarrassed by something Lan Wangji had said and just somehow disappeared when everyone looked back at him

oh ABSOLUTELY im walking with u and nodding and agreeing, i can see him becoming an absolute menace to keep track of at his drunkest.

anyway heres wonderwall The Gang (Wangxian & their fave group of ducklings) in a city known for its STRONG wine and wuxian being like well. ur all grown now, youre technically not juniors anymore. we have to see whos lasting the longest against this stuff!, smash cut to a suspiciously wei ying-less group of the worlds drunkest cultivators being wrangled through the woods by designated driver hanguang-jun, with at least 2 of them clinging to his robes at all times.

Headcanon that WWX used the song Wangxian as a lullaby for himself and a-Yuan in the burial mounds. He associates it with the safety, security, and serenity that he associates with LWJ even if he doesn’t remember that’s why. He associates it with his head being cradled in LWJ’s lap, his hands carding through WWX’s hair as he takes care of him when he’s suffering the fever from the infection. He associates it with being held and cared for.

So, when he’s thrown into the burial mounds by Wen Chao, he hums that song to himself a lot when he’s feeling scared and like he needs some comfort. (Which is a lot bc he’s in the Burial Mounds where everything is trying to kill him.) Even after he escapes the Burial Mounds, he hums and sings it to himself for self soothing. A little something to keep the voices of the dead from driving him insane and remind him of how to be human.

He plays it when trying to calm spirits and fierce corpses if the other songs don’t work or he just wants to use this one instead. He pours his heart and soul and humanity into playing it so it may remind the dead just as it does him of that comfort and safety it holds in its notes. The love it offers brings him back from the edge of madness many times, so he holds the song close to his heart for when he needs it.

It is only natural then, that when a-Yuan asks him for a lullaby that he plays that one. Whether it’s notes ring out of Chengqing or fall softly from his lips, he gives this melody to the boy in hopes it will bring the same comfort it does him.

So, of course, when he’s newly resurrected, this is the song he plays to calm Wen Ning. It is a song he has long associated with calming erratic emotions, safety, security, love, and, perhaps most importantly, reminding one of their humanity.

(part 2 about a-yuan's experience with the song)

You know what?

Mxtx's tops trademark is their staggering devotion

Mxtx's bottoms trademark is making poems about the beauty of this guy and still acting like it means nothing

I want to give you many kisses for your art and requests doodles, but like, platonically 😘

For the MXTX main couples, modern au, what would each study in college?

I got a little carried away- anyways, I don't think any of these are solidified just what I felt fit their vibes! Thanks for the rq!! :D

Ranking mxtx couples by whether or not I think they'd be good parents

(I'm 90% sure I'm forgetting someone)

Yep, next question (S)-

Wangxian: tried and tested good dads. I wish them luck with the whole “trying to get wwx pregnant” thing 

They have some shit to work through, but after that I think they'd be fine (A)-

Ling Wen/ Bai Jin: if we're just going off the original publication, I would put them in a much lower tier, but since the revised edition added that thing about them raising orphans together and said orphans turning out alright before unfortunate circumstances, I'm putting them up here. I think they'll be alright once they work through the miscommunication

Xiao Xingchen/ Song Lan: They obviously have a lot of trauma they're working through, but I'd like to think they and A-Qing will be a loving family in the long run 

One of them would be a good parent, the other wouldn't be a bad parent (B)-

Jiang Yanli/ Jin Zixuan: there's no canon reason for me putting them this low. Jin Zixuan just gives off a mediocre parent vibe to me (and we all know Jiang Yanli is the best)

Yushipei: Yushi Huang has good mom energy, and Pei Ming has been shown to be a not terrible mentor. I'd want the misogyny fully beaten out of him with a mace before I'd think he should have kids of his own though 

Lang Qianqiu/ Little Guy: at the very least, they're making sure Guzi is fed, clothed, washed, vaccinated, and has access to education. Neither of them know what they're doing, but I think Little Guy is good at faking it. I wish them luck in their upcoming custody battle  

You know what, surprise me/ I'll hear you out (C)-

Bingqiu: My first instinct is “no, do not bring kids into this,” but then I remembered tharnShen Qingqiu has a surprisingly decent track record? Like, Ning Yingying and Ming Fan both turned out a lot more health than they did in the original novel, and though I wouldn't call him in a good place, Binghe is doing a lot better than Bingge. The wild card for me here is Luo Binghe because I have no idea how he'd be with kids

Quanyin: Yin Yu had a decent track record until he was pushed into snapping. I think rn, he needs a couple centuries of being a babygirl before he's ready to parent again. No idea how Quan Yizhen would do though 

Born to “dual income, no kids, rich uncles/aunts” (D)-

Fengqing: Feng Xin is canonically a bad dad. I know he's working on it, but it is what it is. Mu Qing has been shown to be decent with kids, but I think he’d have a melt down if he had to deal with the mess constantly. 

Hualian: I mean, Xie Lian has raised three kids at this point and one of them became a god, another became state preceptor and then sorta complicit in a genocide, and one became god AND committed genocide + he babysat a ghost king for months and didn't even realize that's what he was because it was a miracle if he remembered to feed him… so, a mixed bag. Hua Cheng may be schrodinger’s child hater, but I'm intrigued by the idea of him raising kids just because I want to know how his own childhood would influence his parenting abilities. They should probably just stick to babysitting for now though 

Mingling: Liu Mingyan is too busy writing gay porn to be dealing with kids, and I just can't imagine Sha Hualing as a mom

Please don't bring a kid into this mess (F)-

Beefleaf: Do I need to explain this one?

Mobeishang: Shang Qinghua should not be put in any position where he has to teach someone about consent (Binghe’s early attempts at flirting being a prime example of why that's a bad idea). I also think Mobei Jun is still working on the whole “why hitting people is not cool” thing. 

QiJiu: I think the original timeline is a prime example of how they're just not in a place to be raising kids 

Jun Wu/ Mei Nianqing: Xie Lian would like a refund on his adopted father figures. They had one kid and he only made it to age 20 because he was cursed to not die

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"

[mdzs-owns-my-ass-i-guess]

Hua Cheng believes himself to be the most normal out of the whole mxtx red-black trio.

He didnt destroy the world cause gege wasnt paying attention to him.

He didnt profess to the story's villain at the story's literal climax that he truly wanted to have sex with his husband and it had all been a misunderstanding after they didnt have proper aftercare

He's the most hinged, right?

"But!" Wei Wuxian intervenes with an almost scholarly look about him. "You killed 33 gods."

"Yes."

"And you tell everyone that doesnt like dianxia to kill themselves." Luo Binghe adds.

"As they should."

"And you built him ten thousand very detailed statues while you were in your world's hell." Wei Wuxian supplies.

"I have built more over time, in fact."

Luo Binghe, "And this is normal to you."

"Yes."

"And all that makes you more normal than us?"

"Everyone's more normal than you, Luo-ge."
