Lan Zhan, can I punch him?

[acequinz]

Sometimes I like to think that LXC was so excited about LWJ becoming friends with WWX cause WWX was actually very fun and LXC likes to have fun toying around the lines of the rules.

So he probably wanted WWX to rub some of that chaos onto LWJ as well so he could have shared some of his fun adventure tips with LWJ without giving the kid a heart attack.

But instead he had to watch his brother be whipped 33 times and then mourn over Wei Wuxian for 13 years.

This time when he came back he really did manage to make LWJ happy and more chaotic like LXC had hoped except this time LXC is too deep into the seclusion to be able to see it or share his fun tips.

Summary: He failed them. He failed them. He failed them. He has to make amends. He can't fix it but he can make it bearable in the future. He was dead. Yes. But it was not enough to stop him. He WILL make amends. He will protect his children. Nothing in this world could stop him from doing so.

i think jiang yanli is a feral mom, alright. beyond the fact she wanted to know more about her husband’s death, i had a consideration that just… in the day of the nightless city battle, she had to choose between one of her children, so to say: wei wuxian or jin rulan. jin rulan was just born. he was her blood child, yet he still couldn’t erase the position of another someone she raised, whom she also loved like a brother and a heart mother. a young man at the time who might not have been in her womb for nine months, but whom she cared for and saw grow up for more than a decade. so she threw caution to the wind, and ran after wei wuxian.

and the rest is. well, history.

WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 23

Long time, no WujiWatch! But I’ve been reading Catching Chen Qing Ling and it’s put me in an analytical mood about The Untamed again. Picking up where we left off...

Episode 23 has at least two iconic Wangxian scenes: Lan Wangji’s visit to a recovering Wei Wuxian’s sickbed to play Clarity, and the “I am not Wen Ruohan” conversation on the same clifftop where they will meet again in the last moments of Wei Wuxian’s (first) life. One thing I didn’t realize until this rewatch is the way those two scenes are tied together; that the second one picks up, thematically, where the first one left off.

The Clarity scene is interrupted by the screams of Wens being rounded up (and perhaps killed on the spot) and the shouts of their pursuers. Wei Wuxian immediately looks disturbed and asks what’s going on; Lan Wangji says, “they’re hunting down the rest of the Wens” and looks not disturbed at all. I am very good at interpreting Wang Yibo’s microexpressions by now, and this dude is 0% bothered. That is especially striking since the very next scene is all about (among other things) Lan Xichen being very disturbed at the prospect of murdering Wen civilians. By this point in the drama, Lan Wangji has made some progress toward moral nuance—but it’s all specifically Wei Wuxian-focused. His view of the rest of the world is still very black and white. The Wens are bad, so it’s appropriate for bad things to happen to them. End of story.

That’s how the Clarity scene ends, and then, as mentioned, we have the scene where 3zun and Jin Guangshan debate the treatment of the surviving Wens. After that, we have the clifftop scene—and what I’d forgotten is that the first line of dialogue in this scene is Wei Wuxian asking Lan Wangji, “What do you think of the people here [in Nightless City]? Who is good and who is bad?” The fate of the defeated Wens is still very much on Wei Wuxian’s mind. And it’s still a matter of no concern for Lan Wangji: he ignores Wei Wuxian’s question. He doesn’t want to talk about the larger events happening in Nightless City – he only wants to talk about, and help, Wei Wuxian. This foreshadows the scene in the rain at Qiongqi Dao – the moment when the hero of the common people looks at a group of starving, abused civilians and says to Wei Wuxian, in effect, Let them die—because otherwise, I’ll lose you.

(One other note from this episode that passed me by in every prior viewing, although maybe everyone else knew it: Lan Wangji knows the Yin Tiger Seal is made out of Yin Iron, very early on. In the clifftop scene, Wei Wuxian admits the sword he found in the Xuanwu Cave was made of Yin Iron and that he refined the Yin Tiger Seal out of it (albeit in one of his bullshit “What if I told you…” phrasings), and Lan Wangji confirms that he knows by asking, “Since you knew it was Yin Iron, why did you use/refine it?” While everyone else in the drama is resorting to innuendo and suspicion—and while Wei Wuxian is denying it to everyone else—Lan Wangji knew the truth all along.)

I have a list of career paths I personally think wei wuxian in mordern au would choose, these are my top picks of professions for him. Wwx is so great and extremely talented I totally believe he will be at the top of any career he chooses easily, given he is a genius. So,

A lirtle wangxian wip cause I've been rewatching The Untamed <3

The full comic is finally over!!! Thank you for following it ~

You think Lan Jingyi gets away with most of the shit he says because he's literally just saying what the Lan's are thinking, specifically Lan Qiren and Lan Wangji.

Lan Xichen agrees as well but in the- this is funny so keep going.

While Lan Qiren agrees in a- I need to reprimand him but I agree with everything he says so I will just continue to look disgruntled.

While Lan Wangji is vigorously nodding in Lan Xichen's vision and breathing in agreement according to others.

There's probably a rule about being honest so they can't even tell him to shut up and not speak. Because he's being truthful and oh Lan Jingyi the Lan that you are.

In the far corner you can probably hear WWX laughing his ass off. This is why Jingyi is his favourite student.

I have a follower rec from the MDZS Big Bang! It's an evocatively-written modern AU with F/F wangxian. The characterization is so spot on and the writing understated and melancholy and beautiful. A real treat! @annerbhp

Part of the MDZS Big Bang 2024

Summary: It’s an irregular rhythm of coincidental meetings. Sometimes Wangji is there, and Wei Ying is not. And sometimes, when Wangji has to venture further out, to Nanhui or Jinshan, she sits in the back of the car and imagines Wei Ying between the trees, wandering aimlessly in search of her. or, a photographer and a streamer meet one very early morning. it goes about as well as you'd expect.

the wildest thing about lan wangji is the way he’s immediately enraged at his own feelings for wei wuxian. because we’ve seen wei wuxian fall in love slowly and surely, right? he goes from a quick interest to an oblivious attraction to liking lan wangji then being infatuated after his return to life, then to straight-up loving the guy intensely. we watch him develop his sexual and romantic attraction equally.

but lan wangji’s different. from the very first second he’s desperately smitten — all it took was one sly smile and he was going through the four stages of love: the desire to marry, kiss, bed and die with him. and he’s so goddamn outraged, because how dare this troublemaker trespass into his house and steal his heart so easily??

he was so conflicted that he didn’t see any other alternative if not to unsheathe his sword and fight the hell out of that idiot. feelings?? for a rebellious teenager?? right in front of my clan’s three thousand rules??? not today, devil.
