#or sulking because wwx was flirting with someone else

[tea-cat-arts]

Comments like "Lan Wangji is so much better in the donghua because of how expressive he is," "Lan Wangji is so much more in love with WWX in the donghua! Look at his face," or any other variation of "LWJ feels more if he shows more on his face and that makes those adaptations better" are now grounds for instant blocking from me ✌️. Like, logically I know he's not canonically autistic, but I've gone my whole life getting shit for not showing enough emotions on my face and seeing a fictional character I like with the same struggle get the exact same shit from people just makes me want to punch dry wall

I’ll never get over how immature JC is in the Lotus Pod extra. WWX is subtle about it but he’s showing everyone on making connections. When he finds out the girls they see gave them the watermelon JYL cut for them, he starts tossing them Lotus Pods as a return gifts and gets everyone to do the same because it’s the polite thing to do and even tells them it gives them the chance to talk more with the girls in the future by asking if they liked the seeds.

It’s partially a flirting tactic for fun but also just common curtesy and learning experience. Someone gets you a gift, you give them a return gift and sometimes you build a connection from that interaction for the future. Which is very important in the cultivation world, especially for a sect heir who will need to build connections that can help in the future. Yet JC is the only one that doesn’t join in with giving Lotus Pods as a return gift because he thinks it’s too embarrassing and even sits by himself to eat alone. The guy even sulks because WWX starts talking about wanting to see LWJ and hang out with him.

No wonder WWX calls him an unteachable child and he’ll be eating alone the rest of his life if he keeps it up. Even as a teenager, JC never listened to good advice and sulks just because WWX wants to hangout with someone else. He’s such a brat and not in the same sense JL is.

Yeah, it’s such a thing. Like, how childish can you get? He’s basically going “But I don’t wanna have to be nice to people who do things for me!” It’s such a simple, basic thing... and JC is refusing to do it because common courtesy is too embarrassing for him. It’s no wonder he has no friends, when something so simple as sharing some lotus pods with the people who brought them watermelon is too much for him.
