#the z!mxy timeline is one of the darker ones

[vermillioncrown]

Hello! Just out of curiousity (and give you a palate cleanser from GoM Therapy talk), what are the Junior Quartet's thoughts on Z!Mo Xuanyu post-canon? I know that Jin Ling is probably conflicted, but what about Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi, and Ouyang Zizhen? Also, what are Best Boi Wen Ning's thoughts on this whole matter?

(the thought is appreciated lol)

the juniors (barring jin ling) meet mo xuanyu after the ritual. so it's only jin ling that has any meaningful changes to his canonical relationship (which we don't know much of) w mo xuanyu.

z!mo xuanyu was probably able to connect with jin ling much easier. which makes the whole getting kicked out debacle/wwx download into mxy's body worse for jin ling. z!mxy would prob ask for a swap to deal w jin ling whenever, but that'd contribute to jin ling thinking that z!mxy+wwx went off the deep end.

(we've somehow increased jl's uncle count)

i don't think lan sizhui's opinion changes that much. z!mxy doesn't think it his place to interact with lsz, which wwx would find weird ("he's the best junior! the sweetest one!" even before a-yuan reveal) but *shrugs*

no zyx incarnation is complete without snark, so the off times that ljy catches unadulterated z!mxy commentary is precious. and wwx is a riot to him, too. + less of wwx's trolling teaching when things are serious serious, z!mxy can't help but chime in. opinion is that senior mo is probably some sort of non-possessed-possessed, but zidian didn't whip him out so he's... safe?

no changes to ouyang zizhen. senior mo is a weirdo. but nice, sometimes funny and trolly, and good at teaching.

i think that canonically mxy helped out with the fierce corpse studies in jinlingtai. idk how complicit he was, but z!mxy is complicit enough that being around wen ning is difficult. he did expect to die for wwx's life, after all - didn't expect to stick around. wen ning personally doesn't like z!mxy for his former misdeeds (regardless of how coerced or whatever), but holds his tongue for wwx's sake and how z!mxy is while sharing a body.
