with respect to this person’s hc, I think lan jingyi being 100% lan makes him such a better and more interesting character, and actually makes him worth paying attention to as a character for what his behavior reveals about the current lan sect
#imo stereotyping people's personalities by sect is not a valuable or particularly meaningful approach#and obviously not supported by the vast variety in personalities and outlook within a single sect#wen ning vs. wen chao#nhs vs. nmj#jfm vs jc#and lxc vs. lwj#just look at lan yi! she's lwj's ancestor - nobody more lan. and she defied all orthodoxy. and that was the ppint#walking that back and tying personality to sect is just not very interesting#what if lan jingyi was a naturally loudmouthed and sarcastic person and he was able to thrive in the lan sect#because of the changes that lwj was instrumental in. and the lan sect#is a more open-minded and supportive and accepting place because of it#I'd much rather have that narrative#or what if the lans are still incredibly strict and ljy has preferential treatment because he's part of the lan family#or what if the lans are still incredibly strict and he doesn't get preferential treatment and he's punished all the time but he STILL#mouths off because he's irrepressible and his elders can make him do lines but they won't change who he is as a person#JL has a personality AND things going on. lsz has things going on but no personality#ljy has a personality but nothing going on#like the og trio in many ways in fact...#ficblogging
