#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#song lan#a-qing#xiao xingchen#xue yang#The scene where Song lan sees Xue Yang is supposed to be dark and dramatic but there's something about the whiplash of emotions-#-that makes me lose my mind!! That's *HIS* bestie!!! Back off bitch!!#Poor guy wandering around for years looking for his amiguito only to find him with the guy that split you apart in the first place#XY wasn't even trying to flaunt it on purpose. He was just vibing with XXC at the wrong time.#I also love A-qing for being quick on the uptake that these two are so similar its practically like a mirror image.#This also mirrors song lan's first/last appearance with the bff sundae. XY finally gets his revenge (having a domestic life with a bff).#((XXC has no idea what the t-shirt says. He just needed a spare. I like to think XY sewed and embroidered it personally))#I will get into my xue yang thoughts more later but...man I will always wonder how things would have gone if song lan never showed up#xxc never should have run away (out of shame for causing SL harm). It was always going to cause more harm...#Dont worry SL. XXC still misses you. Some bonds cannot be broken even if time and distance pull you apart.

And to be clear the only characters we see not engaging in direct misogyny are usually characters who simply do not interact with women in the abstract or specific enough to get the chance to be. Iirc actually Nie Mingjue might win here bc he commends Mianmian for having backbone when she leaves the sect and is not misogynist about it? Well done Nie Mingjue congratulations on winning the Normal About Women award
#XXC and SL might also be in the running? They're not misogynist to a-Qing (although aQ is also seen more generally as a ~dependent?)#XY is also not misogynist to a-Qing but is disqualified for what he says in Villainous Friends#I don't think we ever really see either Jade interact with a woman and while I want to believe in them the Lan sect IS also canonically#very misogynist. So they probably also have attitudes

Fanart from the beginning of Old Growth by @brawlite
Another cut back to the inside of the car shows Song Lan, focused on the task at hand while Xue Yang munches on snacks in the passenger seat, feet kicked up onto the dash. Occasionally, Song Lan’s gaze drifts to Xue Yang -- likely to the position of his feet -- and he scowls. But says nothing. Xue Yang grins back at him like he’s won a personal fight.

"Song Lan... I- I can't see." finally snapped; im making a pacrim au, lets fucking go
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#xiao xingchen#song lan#songxiao#the untamed#cql#my art (??)#okay so i have a lot of stuff i wanna draw for this au aye i love it so much#i am so deeply into my mech phase (yet again) right now and just cannot be stopped#i learned the basics of how to draw a gundam and now im convinced im good at it or something aye#but anyway; the lore for this part of the story is basically that the mech was sabotaged by xy#with the intention of blinding sl and during the drift he was and the mech was blind too and thats how they got to injured#but the mech sort of threw them out of the drift and they thought they were okay in the end but xxc's vision goes black a little later#(the mech didnt throw them out; xxc tried to save sl by forcing him out (dangerous!!!) and taking the injuries of the mech onto himself)#basically xy tried to blind sl (and did temporarily) but ended up blinding xxc instead#mech au

I made this Xiao Xingchen mini papercraft quite a while back, but then forgot to post him! My apologies, Mr. Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze.

Out of all of Wei Wuxian's traits, one of the ones that fascinates me the most is how incredibly casual and chummy he is with corpses. All the other cultivators are a bit desensitized to the dead by nature of their profession, yes, but Wei Wuxian in particular treats the dead very much the same as he treats living people, and I think it's simultaneously one of his best and most concerning attributes.
On the good side, the way Wei Wuxian treats the dead is absolutely an extension of his overall goodness and empathy. He stands on the side of those that are looked down on, and nobody faces more discrimination that the dead. He treats the dead like people because they are people, and they deserve to have their voices heard. That's what Empathy's for, and that's why he revives Wen Ning to stand as witness to his own murder. Wen Ning is not a thing! And even when Wei Wuxian is raising armies of dead Wens to fight on his behalf, we get illustrations of him giving a helping hand to a weak old corpse that can't stand on its own.
Wei Wuxian is painted in very deliberate contrast to Xue Yang, who treats the dead as tools and deprives them of agency. His closeness with them is a symbol of his kindness.
However, beyond treating the dead decently and like people, there is a point where his chumminess with them starts to get unsettling, and that's the point where it becomes a reflection of his loneliness and trauma. In particular, I'm thinking of his cuddliness with the ghosts he uses to torture Wen Chao and the corpse girls he's hanging out with when he invites Lan Zhan to drink with him. Because treating the dead with respect is a very different thing from having a corpse lay in your lap as you stroke its hair. And fierce corpses by definition do not have personalities (with Wen Ning as the exception that proves the rule), so treating them as companions to socialize with is rather concerning behavior.
So why is he like this? Isolation and trauma!
It's easy to understate the trauma of Wei Wuxian's three months in the Burial Mound, especially given that we don't see them play out but do get details about so many other horrible moments. But those three months? They Fucked Him Up. In particular, beyond the trauma of the near death experience (or presumably many many near death experiences in a row), he spent the better part of three months without seeing a single other living human. People are not meant to do that.
So what is a person gonna do when he spends three months in Worse Solitary Confinement? And when that solitude is spent on Fierce Corpse Mountain? He's gonna get really weird about corpses. He's gonna turn into the kind of man that would let a murderous ghost he's controlling lay in his lap as he strokes her hair, because for an extended period of time, that is the closest thing to human contact he's had access to.
And later, post-sunshot-campaign, Wei Wuxian does regain access to living humans and society, but he's still incredibly isolated. Just about everyone besides his siblings and Lan Zhan hates and/or is scared of him by the time we hit the scene of him and the fierce corpse girls throwing flowers, so it's no wonder he's hanging out with dead people. He already picked up the habit of replacing company with corpses once, so of course he doesn't see anything wrong with it. Maybe they're there as bodyguards, maybe he's just extremely lonely and doesn't have any human companions to drink with him, or maybe (probably) it's a mix of both. But in any case, it's a pretty clear expression of a horrifying degree of both past and present isolation.
That's why, though he doesn't lose his respect for the dead or his desensitization to touching corpses, we never see him just Hanging Out With Mindless Ghosts in his second life. It's a substitute for real companionship, not a healthy behavior, but lack of company is no longer an issue he has after being resurrected.
He doesn't need an entourage of corpse girls, because this time, when he wants company, he's always got Lan Zhan.
#see also: xy spending years with sl's fierce corpse as his only companion#his fierce corpse that he was controlling completely#respect for the dead is good#but Hanging Out With Corpses You're Controlling is pretty deeply unhealthy#and it's a good habit for wwx to have broken#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#mdzsposting#the grandmaster of demonic cultivation#oh and this is why I'm so mad that the donghua cut out that creepy-ass scene of the Wen Chao torture#Wwx being a fucked up little guy with trauma that makes him Weird About Corpses is deeply important to me#and important to his character#and the donghua really nerfed his fucked up little guy levels#(and I'm guessing cql did as well. but I haven't actually watched it)#wei wuxian#wei wuxian my beloved#english major hours#long post

End of Empathy (time for violence)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan jingyi#jin ling#lan sizhui#We are back to the present! Honestly I think I'm going to try and truncate the rest of this arc.#I LOVE yi-city and I really appreciate all of the support the yi-city lovers have given me. And the patience of those who aren't.#But it's been two months. And I need to move this along </3#Anyways; I love the start of ep 3 so much. The worried concern of the juniors is so cute#but the crown jewel by far is wwx responding like a parent that's very hungover but trying so hard to be nice about it#like 'shhh shhhh guys hi I'm up now. Can you keep the volume down. Can you get me some water and my sunglasses from the glovebox.'#and of course the incredible wham line of 'Xue Yang Must Die.'#'Is YX irredeemable? I'm pro 'everyone is capable of change and deserves a chance.' So Im of the camp of 'if he had the opportunity...maybe#The issue is that this setting has no structure to provide those opportunities. You are perceived as a threat therefor you must die#XY is a very interesting parallel to the YLLZ because they both meet the same fate: outsiders determining that they need to be killed#plus both did war crimes. I know it's easy to forget the YLLZ actually did do some of the things he was accused of (most wrong)#but wwx also has blood on his hands. He also sought revenge in pretty twisted ways. Both were given opportunities to step away and refused#The difference is that we empathize with and like XXC & SL and A-Qing. The Narrative says they were wronged and that is an injustice.'
