obsessed w the scene where wei wuxian goes to jinlintai to ask about wen ning, because when he comes in, while he Has sort of crashed their party, he is still, Technically, following all of their social rules. he's polite, and courteous, and respectful. he tries to speak with jin zixun away from everyone else first, he's well spoken and appropriately vague, he doesn't say anything when everyone continues to insult him directly to his face. they all know what he Means but he is, technically, still behaving exactly as a respectable cultivator should. and then it sort of starts to go sideways, and you're like uh oh. we can still make it out of here unscathed tho I bet. he hasn't said anything crazy yet. but then wei wuxian looks jin guangshan in his face and says "please allow me to ask another question - does jin zongzhu think that without the qishan wen sect, lanling jin is supposed to take it's place naturally? so everything should be handed over to you, and everyone should follow your orders?", which is insane,
#ABSOLUTELY OUT OF POCKET.#its so good. he's SO good#I love that scene so much#because it perfectly exemplifies the fact that wei wuxian CAN follow the rules#he can be polite and do whats expected of him#he is Incredibly Talented at navigating social situations#but its not enough#because while he bahaves with near perfect manners#the jins are brash and rude and audacious#they insult him to his face and waste his time and make outrageous requests of him#and its only okay because he is the son of a servant#they don't Have to treat him with politeness#and its important to point out that the jins flex their power on Everyone#jin zixun tries to make lan xichen and lan wangji drink moments before#but everyone in that room Knows thats inappropriate and looks like they want to speak up#and even with such an audacious request jin zixun hides it behind courtesy#but they don't even try to pretend at manners with wei wuxian#the illustrious and well regarded jin sect#who are rude and inappropriate and outrageous#vs the villainous and shameless wei wuxian#who is well spoken and polite and holds his tongue#it makes me feel CRAZY#ghost posts#text#wwx#jin zixun#jgs
