Look. Before you rant on at me for a non threatening reply to your original post. Get your own facts right. WWX and LWJ were fifteen in the CR arc - so YOU get YOUR facts right before being condescending to a friendly reply. I'd understand if I'd literally been as rude as you were in your response, but I was not.

When Wei Wuxian reflected on it later, the start of his poor relationship with Lan Wangji could probably be traced back to the year when he was fifteen. That was when he and Jiang Cheng went to the Lan Clan of Gusu to study for three months.

From the official translation....

So if he was fifteen during the CR arc, the following year he'd be sixteen during the archery competition and the year after that he'd be seventeen during the scene you are referring to. But just so you understand, it literally states so in the text...

"But slaying a colossal, four-centuries-old yao beast at the age of seventeen was a feat worthy of more than a mere “well done.”

Again, in the official 7S translation

So next time you want to snap and talk shit to someone for an innocent fact check, actually check the text yourself first. Ffs.

I'm not even going to bother reading the rest of your rude ramblings because if you can't find simple textual evidence of how old they are, god knows what other stuff you are fabricating and ranting on about with baseless or incorrect information for your argument.

I did notice that your definition of comphet and such are wrong as well though lmao. WWX can feel uncomfortable about men crying because it's not the done thing due to heteronormativity and still wants to comfort LWJ specifically, but he couldn't because he'd already upset him and was trying to stay away. He's also wary because he's just been bitten.

My response was based on facts and the text. Yours is based on speculation and your own interpretation of the scene. That scene was actually very tender and the fact WWX wakes up wanting to see LWJ and he keeps coming back to ask about him shows the opposite of your argument. WWX didn't think LWJ hated him right up until the very end of his first life, there's so much evidence that he still held on to some hope - the Yiling date being one of them. It's not until he wrong assumes LWJ is at Nightless City to fight him when he's half mad with grief and fury. Only then does he finally assume the worst. Finally, as I said previously, the very fact WWX feels so comforted by the melody we know as Wangxian is proof he had no negative feelings about their time together.

There's no weight needed in that one fact about WWX giving LWJ some time to recuperate and not bother him when he was clearly feeling very emotional lmao. He was being thoughtful and giving him some space.

WWXs reaction to LWJ asking him back to Gusu when he notices something wrong with him is out of the norm for WWX. He's clearly very traumatised and not thinking straight. He also assumes LWJ was judging him for his cultivation method and became defensive.

As for you using this as a springboard for the golden core transfer, you have that scene all wrong as well. You are trying to insinuate WWX is "self-sacrificing" without using the term. He is nothing of the sort. The golden core transfer was out of debt. He felt he had to do that to "repay" the Jiangs for taking him in - which is wrong because JFM was actually repaying his own life debt to CSSR by taking her only son in, but it seems JFM never explained that fact... We are even given a scene where we see just how difficult a choice the golden core transfer was for him and how he only convinces himself to do it because he tries to convince himself he wouldn't have had a core anyway and it's essentially the Jiang sects property. You are trivialising this.

When we're looking at why Wei Wuxian took so long to even consider that Lan Wangji might really like him, I think we should maybe place more weight on that time when they were trapped in a cave together at around age eighteen, and Lan Wangji told him his dad was dying and started to cry and Wei Wuxian was like SHIT and fidgeted awkwardly for a while like ahhhhh I hate when people cry especially men what do I do????

And then he tried to find something to say and Lan Wangji was like 'shut up' and he shut up, and Lan Wangji said 'you're a loathsome person' and he shut up so hard he left him alone for three entire days.

Like if I spent three days trapped in hell with someone, restraining myself from reaching out for human interaction because not subjecting them to my personality was literally the only thing I could do to help with their state of misery.

I would have a real hard time letting go of the understanding that the thing this person wanted from me was not to have to deal with me.
