#asks: DIDI

[fireflysugarpie]

I'm literally so obsessed with the fact that Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu married the most extreme versions of each other

like, I'm pretty sure that people have already brought this up, but Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe have the same, "I'm just a little guy, you wouldn't hurt a little guy, would you?" pathetic, pitiful, crybaby aura (even though Binghe is a lot more selective with it lol)

and Shen Qingqiu and Mobei-Jun are icy beauty, rich, dense, spoiled brats that both go insane over (1) pitiful hamster man (for different reasons, but still)

I feel like if they didn't fucking die and get transmigrated, they could've had a cute assholes to assholes but lovers arc :<

How would you describe Chang's relationship with his adoptive parents in your wonderful au?

Chang is adopted pretty quickly, so it's likely they didn't get much time to get to know each other as well as most adopted families nowadays. My thoughts on Chang and his adopted family are below!

Chang's heroism in The Blue Lotus was impressive, which leads to lofty expectations Chang himself feels incapable of meeting. He struggles to adapt to life in Shanghai, the Wangs' upper middle class culture and has problems at school, having missed out on a few years of education and a lot of unresolved trauma.

He's frustrated at his own inability to fit in, and guilty about flubbing this opportunity at life they gave him. Part of him feels like he's tearing their family apart. The Wangs are desperately trying to give Chang a good life, but feel completely out of their depth.

He also can't help but compare himself to Didi, his much older adopted brother and their biological son, who is scarily competent and a clear favourite of their mother.

Didi is aware that his father may have expectations for Chang to join the Sons of the Dragon. Having experienced the pressure and danger first-hand he takes it upon himself to foster a sense of agency in Chang so he will be capable of choosing for himself when the time comes. Didi trains Chang in martial arts and is tough on him in general, but encourages Chang to travel when he expresses an interest in it. Chang on the other hand encourages Didi to have fun and let loose!

Mr Wang has high expectations for Chang because he believes in him. He and Mrs Wang genuinely care for him and only want the best possible life for him, but this sometimes comes across as them expecting Chang to be somebody else. They first thought Chang was much like Didi, disciplined and quiet, but Chang's rebellious streak catches them off guard. Mrs Wang is particularly shaken.

It struck me how gentle the Wangs were with Didi while he was under the influence of madness poison, and as they are good friends with a mental health specialist, they would absolutely take Chang's mental health seriously. Whether or not they fully understand each other is another thing. As Chang slips into a deep depression they decide to send him off to London to meet his uncle, hoping a change in scenery will help him. On his way through Tibet however, his plane crashes into the mountains...

scratching at your walls, wailing at your door, grabbing your foot from under your bed-- mad scientist wwx au thoughts??? crumbs?? brain worms??? pls give me something to live for

I have no excuse for not posting yesterday I just Didn't Want To. I got distracted playing solitaire then it was eleven o'clock and I was like "my brain isn't WORKING" and then I fell asleep. Anyway get OUT from beneath my bed, that's where my cats stay, they don't like strangers, dude. Anyway, mad scientist AU. Wei Ying is just very tired, but he's got adrenaline from the battle and from the thought of seeing his family after so long of relying on the dead for comfort and company, so he basically leaps at the chance to talk to someone. That someone is Lan Wangji, who is carting him back on his blade with a gentle but firm grip, as though scared he will slip away from his grasp if he even loosens his hold. He starts yapping about anything and everything that comes to mind, not wanting to be silent ever again after all of the time he has spent in silence, with his own thoughts being his only company. Through this yapping, Lan Wangji learns a lot about how Wei Wuxian thinks, how his genius mind works, flitting from one topic to the next. He also learns a lot about the teenager's new-new cultivation method.

Wen Ning watches and listens along as well, watching how Lan Wangji listens and hums slightly when it calls for it, very occasionally uttering a soft word or two that is lost to the wind to all but Wei Ying. He gets more excited with whatever Lan Wangji says, acting as though there is truly nothing wrong with him despite literally everything visibly wrong with him. He has resentful energy crawling through his skin like cracks and he doesn't seem to be blinking and his arms are barely even moving which can only be due to a build-up of resentful energy, something that he had always struggled with even before The Incident. He is so pale and malnourished, but he smiles and laughs like nothing has changed, one hand gripped so tightly around the flute he has made that his knuckles are a pale grey.

They make it back to the war camp and Lan Wangji lets go of Wei Wuxian (with some difficulty), ignoring everyone else as he steps away and lets Wen Ning take over. Wen Ning drags Wei Ying through the camp, ignoring how silent it gets when people start to notice the two of them, when they notice Lan Wangji standing there and watching worriedly. All he cares about is getting Wei Ying to the rest of their family in the medical tent. It's thankfully pretty empty in the moment, due to Wen Qing being a girlboss that drastically improves how efficient the place all is. They find Wen Qing unpacking the new supplies that have just been sent in from Gusu, while Xue Yang is generally being a nuisance and only helping out when he wants to see what something in the package is.

Xue Yang is the first one to spot Wei Ying on his way into the tent, basically going stock still for a few seconds and then trying to sprint forwards but being forced back by the chain attaching him to Wen Qing, who just thinks he's still being a pest. He may be fucked up and insane, but he is still only twelve years old so he doesn't even care that he's crying when he sobs out a "gege", basically trying to wrench his arm out of the cuff. Wen Qing finally looks up just as Wei Ying steps into the tent, and then Wei Ying is being tackled for the second time that day, this time by two people. Xue Yang clings to him as he cries and cries, refusing to even think about letting go of his gege after being without him for so long, while Wen Qing is more efficient, wiping away her tears as she takes stock of the situation and immediately drags Wei Ying over to a bed.

Meanwhile, Lan Wangji reports back to his own gege about the entire situation. Lan Xichen takes note of how his didi describes Wei Wuxian's choice of cultivation - "it is not demonic. It seems to act as another form of liberation for otherwise unreachable spirits." - and then asks about Nie Mingjue the battle itself. They're obviously just stalling to give Wei Wuxian and his family as much time alone as possible, but there comes a point where there's nothing else to report about and Lan Xichen simply has no excuse to not go and see Wei Wuxian - out of respect. He isn't going to just sit around and not show concern for a teenager who has just saved so many peoples' lives, who he had left to rot despite knowing that Wei Wuxian was being brainwashed.

Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen go to the medical tent, where Wei Wuxian is chilling in a bed with Xue Yang laying beside him, arms wrapped tightly around the teenager's arm and face buried into his shoulder, trembling slightly despite his attempts to hide it. Wen Qing is scolding Wei Wuxian with little remorse despite the pout on his face, and Wen Ning also has the guy's other hand trapped both of his own hands. Lan Xichen exchanges pleasantries with him, then asks Wen Qing how he's looking when he asks Wei Wuxian himself and gets a "never been better!" in response. Wen Qing explains that the teenager naturally has a unique cultivation base that balances both resentful and spiritual energy due to dealing in both from a very young age, but the resentful energy is far outbalancing the spiritual energy right now.

However, the resentful energy seems to be the only thing holding him together. He has a sickening significant amount of internal injuries that the resentful energy seems to be carefully attempting to heal - amassing in many different areas of the body. To fix such a thing would require long term cleansing of resentful energy mixed with an increase of spiritual energy until the two are rebalanced in his body. Lan Xichen is like "oh bro we can totally help with that" and Lan Wangji goes "I can help with that. I can play cleansing for you :(" From multiple angles, this seems like a good option because one, the Lan are well-known for their healing cultivation tactics, two, Lan Wangji is the best cultivator who is not beset by multiple other responsibilities that he can't plan around, and three, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian actually seem to get along.

Please tell me more about how awesome Wei Qingwei is 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ because I am required by law to know all Wei Qingwei details 🥸🥸

*Crawling slowly across the floor* Peach.........Peaaachyyyyyyyy. There are so many details that I added to that man that it's hard to tell what I've already said and what I haven't! I have, however, just found a notation thing I did in my free time aaaages ago, which is basically how the other Peak Lords interact with Wei Qingwei! There is some mention of my OC peak lords (Shui Muyang/Qingbo -> Zui Xian, and Jiang Qingbai -> Ku Xing (I've just remembered I never edited that one post I made about her...)), so do with that what you will. (Also these were rough notes directly translated from a piece of paper and I can't be bothered to fix the formatting xoxo)

Wei Qingwei -> Makes the cool whip for Shui Muyang, who immediately decides that they must protect him and is there when he goes on his first mission with Yue Qingyuan ↳ Yue Qingyuan is immediately hit with the daddy/gege beam, leaving him flummoxed and trying not to cry for some reason -> Wei Qingwei admires Xuan Su next to a barely functioning Yue Qingyuan while Liu Qingge huffs & puffs in the background because Wei Qingwei is his gege ↳ Of course, they are all older than him, but nobody knows it -> Mu Qingfang's shizun does, but he's utter bollocks at his job so he just doesn't mention it -> Wei Qingwei's shifu knows as well; he thinks it's hilarious

More often than not, there's a fight to the death over who gets to hang out with Wei Qingwei -> Shang Qinghua is often most likely to win this (without participating) because there is so much he needs help with & Wei Qingwei will always help out

Wei Qingwei becomes endeared to Jiang Qingbai when he excitedly yaps to her about the different talismans they could build into weapons to make them stronger, all the while giving time for her to write down her responses and vowing to learn how to do sign language (even if he can't see very well)

Shen Jiu falls to Wei Qingwei's determination to befriend him -> man helps him catch up with the others' combat wise & is the one to lead to the caves where he finds Xiu Ya (also similar senses of crappy humour) ↳ Shen Jiu is also more likely to realise that Wei Qingwei is actually younger than him -> either remains as seeing Wei Qingwei as father/gege or is immediately like 'ah, Wei Qingwei is a kind, helpful didi who looks up to his gege' and then hits Wei Qingwei with the gege beam ↳ I like to think that, instead of Wei Qingwei getting hit with Shen Yuan's wife beam, he hits Shen Yuan with his didi beam because he just doesn't change how he acts around Shen Yuan even if Shen Jiu has changed ↳ When Shen Jiu gets his own body, Wei Qingwei gets two geges
