Wei Wuxian leaving Yi City to go do shots with his man and be slutshamed by his nephew

[imafraidoftomorrow]

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....

Oh so when Nie Huaisang tricks a guy into stabbing his best friend to death it's ""justified revenge"" and ""very girlboss of him"" but when I, Xue Yang--

love how mxtx's books all have a coffin scene. in svsss and tgcf, the main couples temporarily get stuck in a coffin. compromising positions and sexual tension abound. in mdzs, though, the antagonist and the man he murdered thirteen years ago (both zombified) are the ones who get stuck in a coffin, doomed to tear each other's souls apart for the next century. the main couple, coffin-less, fuck off to bang in a bush. unparalleled. 10/10

finally in the process of reading the Guanyin Temple scene and holy shit if WWX isn't the protagonist of all time. We're in the Big Final Confrontation and so far my man has done fuck all except cuddle in LWJ's lap while everyone else is losing their shit and when he DOES finally do something he summons an army of naked, writhing, moaning sex corpses that even his allies just desperately wish Were Not There. stupendous, no notes

When Jiang Cheng stabbed the Yiling Patriarch in the gut, 2020.

[old-danmei-fan]

Wait a minute. This lil fuck Xue Yang played house with Xiao Xingchen for YEARS?! Did he Stockholm Syndrome himself?

And Song Lan not giving his sword to XXC because he didn't want him to know who he really killed because it would destroy him.

Fuck.

[glitteringpoet1685]

Not a day goes by where I don't think about how Sizhui is the embodiment of the Lan principles despite not being Lan by blood, exactly how Wei Wuxian was the embodiment of the Jiang principles despite not being a Jiang by blood. God I forgot how tragic this show was.

[naehja]

Xichen, please...

That's your little brother's privacy.

I'm sure it's against the Lan rules

[muzsmocsing]

The way Wei Wuxian describes Xue Yang the first time they met is incredible. Literally HOW am I supposed to feel about him knowing this??

[monhiio]

The long awaited.. Nieyao calling out to one another.. bonus Huaisang

Everyone present was stunned, never having expected such a turn of events. Jin Guangyao mournfully cried his wife's name again and again, a hand cupping her face. His eyes were wide, and his tears fell like rain onto her cheeks. Lan Xichen said, "A-Yao, Madam Jin, she... I'm so sorry." Jin Guangyao looked up. "Er-ge, what is going on? Why would A-Su suddenly kill herself? And why would you all suddenly gather before Fragrance Palace to make me open the secret chamber? Is there something you're not telling me?" Jiang Cheng, who had arrived late to this impromptu gathering, said coldly, "Zewu-jun, please provide an explanation. We are all in the dark as well."

I don't think we're ever given a plot-driven explanation for why Jiang Cheng was late here, and I'm unclear if there's some kind of character note we're supposed to be taking from it (I personally like to imagine he heard a commotion going on outside his window, was like "Ugh, I bet Wei Wuxian is stirring up some drama again. Can't believe I have to deal with this again after 13 years," and shoved his pillow over his head, before remembering Jin Ling might be getting into trouble and getting up with a heavy sigh).

But there's something kind of darkly hilarious about the idea of him showing up late to find Qin Su bleeding out on the floor, Jin Guangyao sobbing over her dead body, and half the cultivation world standing around yelling accusations at each other. I just picture him bursting in there like that one Community meme gif:

my favorite part of the jin guangyao & nie huaisang dynamic that seemingly every fic ignores is that jin guangyao genuinely thought of nie huaisang as incompetent and annoyingly whiny. he didn't realize at ALL until the very end that he was being intentionally played.

he might’ve recognized that huaisang has potential when he actually puts his mind to things. but jin guangyao honestly believed across two decades that huaisang at most was rich, pampered, and pathetically ill-prepared.

it came as a nasty, hysterical shock to jin guangyao that the little brother of the man he killed had actually 1) figured out at any point what he did 2) kept his bitter vicious rage inside and secretly wished him dead 3) brought that to fruition with a skillful mix of planning, improv, and making others do the dirty work of publicly exposing everything for him.

You know something I think is overlooked a lot in mdzs is Wei Wuxian power. I'm not sure if it's because of the way he views himself or the way he acts but he I've seen his actual power get overlooked a lot. Like especially when he just comes back from the burial mounds, likely cause we don't really know what happened down there. But from an outside perspective it has to be crazy because this guy has been missing for 3 months, comes back with a never seen before type of cultivation, and is just killing people left and right with new and horrible ways. On top of that wwx tends to kinda not make a huge deal out of it which you can really see when he traps Jin Ling in book 1. In an actual combat situation that tailism would be crazy good cause it immobilizes someone rlly quickly. Wwx is also crazy smart and ppl overlook that a lot too but that's a different post lol
