#you see the word “survivor” in a dictionary and then you see wei wuxian’s image as definition he embodies the spirit of it so well

[randomness-is-my-order]

one underrated moment of wei wuxian’s impeccable quick-thinking is when wen chao’s contemplating the torture and murder of wei wuxian and wwx is like *fresh* out of an unspeakably painful surgery and a highly traumatic experience, tired and exhausted and beyond the limits of any human to be coherent of thought and yet, he expertly uses wen chao’s inherent cowardice against him by suggesting that he will turn into a vengeful ghost and haunt him and even as he’s simulataneously coming to terms with his possible fate, his move does pay off because he gets into wen chao’s head and throws him off-balance. in a very roundabout way, just that verbal maneuver alone ended up saying his life.
