oh my god cor this is the fucking post I was talking abt in my tags. I found it Months ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. it was like 3 o'clock in the morning and it made me so angry that I couldn't fall asleep. it fills me w such an unquenchable bloodlust for op that I can't even explain all of the (extensive) reasons why they're wrong. straight to the guillotine

HI BEN THANKS FOR THIS AS I LOVE HATING RIGHT FROM THE SOURCE!!!! to be entirely fair I think class analyses of mdzs can be a little more structured and elaborate than what was intended or what was put into the original work (or any adaptation) but. well. it's not like he underwent periods of homelessness and starvation due to poverty to come out of them a huge fan of the cultivation world or of the political actors who move to consolidate power at the expense of others. in the show he hates cruelty, and abuses of power, and the murder and torture of innocent people, and politically-driven violence. and he acts on his moral compass rather than a set or defined philosophy, but it's absolutely absurd to act like someone who grew up homeless and dearly wished to protect the weak has zero understanding of how classist violence works. like sure you can't point to any one time where he looks at the camera and starts to quote marx, but out of any character in the entire series, wwx would probably has the strongest understanding of class

the second paragraph really confused me but I think they think that the subjugation of the wens post-ss was...eating the rich? and not the political fallout from a handful of powerful sects stepping into the power vacuum and enacting violence upon their conquered blood enemies. strictly speaking the wens that wwx rescued weren't in danger because they were poor, they were in danger because their once-powerful family was being targeted. but it's not like granny wenand uncle four were living in mansions like they WERE essentially commoners and they were being abused by wealthy and well-trained warrior class so it just doesn't hold up? a big defense of the wens was that they were literally farmers with no possible defense against cultivator's violence.

yeah this isn't very coherent but tl;dr I guess I see why people don't consider the wen massacres a class issue, and wwx's principles aren't as specific when it comes to like...structural analysis of the society he's living in, but his moral compass does point him towards people who are vulnerable and in a society with such strong class hierarchies, that absolutely includes the poor, which he knows because he USED TO BE HOMELESS. so no I don't see him overthrowing the sects and trying to establish a socialist society but he absolutely has an understanding of class wrt power dynamics

from this post by @trans-xianxian because it was just [chef's kiss] and the mental image of Huaisang doing a presentation like Mei Lin from Turning Red was TOO STRONG

I was gonna draw 3zun but I didn't get around to it - they don't wear matching outfits, they just very carefully coordinate their colours and styles so they never clash 😌

This is such a lovely exploration of Wei Wuxian's character, and the fic gives him a chance to heal in a really satisfying way that he doesn't really get in any of the canon depictions. Sweet Yunmeng bros and Wangxian dynamics as well ❣️ - Anon

No Charming Smile, No Violet Eyes

T, 51k, Wangxian

Summary: Wei Wuxian wakes up on the cold stone floor of a blood soaked room in Mo Manor, and things don't get any less overwhelming from there. But in the small moments, between the mysteries and the grief and the intrigue of his first months back in the world of the living, he learns to love life again, to build around sorrow - the way the sunlight dapples through the tree branches, the soft warmth of blankets in the morning, the rain on the roof. The way Lan Wangji's mouth moves when he says his name, the feeling of his fingers when their hands brush, the warmth of his body when they walk close. And, eventually, when it's time, the softness of his lips. This is my love letter to Wei Wuxian, and to life.

I need you to know that sacabambaspis wasn't actually that terrifying. it's almost cute, in its own way:

ben omg... you know so much about all these extinct beasts!! thanks for sharing. they're a little dopey looking but endearing. also I found out they're a meme

This reconstructed model of Sacabambaspis in the Finnish museum began spreading on Twitter when user Kat Turk (@kat_scans)[13] posted images of the model on August 30th, 2022 (shown below). This tweet earned over 18k retweets and 111k likes in nearly a year.

and then internet artists started spoofing it by drawing it and things just escalated in goofiness from there

and even a PLUSHIE

what a fun little event hehe
