i still haven't left your house and i'm now sitting at your breakfast nook at 3am. the thing about dadji is that he explicitly both is and isn't lan sizhui's dad and i'm more pleased with that than if he literally called lwj “dad”
lsz refers to him as "like a father and a brother to me" and only ever addresses him by sobriquet on-page, both of which suggest that he is not formally regarded as lwj's son within the clan. BUT lsz also explains that during the years of lwj's seclusion "he couldn't take care of me," implying that lwj did directly take care of him after that, apparently for many years (with the rabbit burying etc etc)
i think this gels with a lan clan that raises kids pretty communally. but it ALSO gels with nobody knowing what the fuck to do with this baby lwj showed up with
i can imagine a lwj who was so depressed and Out Of It at that point that he didn't actually expect to become a-yuan's caretaker. he expected to protect wwx's legacy/an innocent kid by giving him to people he knew would raise him well, and then...rot in bed. when lsz said lwj "couldn't take care of him" during seclusion you could read that as lack of emotional capacity as well
but he's such a great teacher to the juniors after that, balancing high expectations with knowing when to relax the rules or give praise, that i can envision an arc where he pulled himself out of the worst of the depression specifically to make sure a-yuan only got the parts of lan upbringing/moral code that would help him to thrive--not the repression and loneliness that lwj went through
so he may have become dadji in ways that even he didn't initially expect
(and then of course like. SYMBOLICALLY, via the lens of wwx's daydreams, lsz is both of their son. the "little one" missing from his memory of his parents and the donkey. that's more abt wwx's feelings for lwj and his vision of family/a happy ending, but for lwj it feels more concrete in conjunction with that history)

Help a family flee Rafah! as part of Operation Floodgates I have chosen a family in Gaza being affected by the ongoing genocide to support financially and share about, they are a large family with a high goal because they are trying to get a lot of people to safety in Canada, but unfortunately they currently have raised very little (if my calculations are right, not enough to even guarantee the safety of TWO people out of the 44 Men, Women and Children in this family) Please share and donate if you can

Rent-Free Special Interest Thought of the Day:
1) Lan Wangji is autistic. (This theme invades my every thought about him. We love to see good, if possibly accidental, representation.)
2) He, like many of us autistics, does not take criticism well AT ALL except maybe from Lan Xichen or Lan Qiren. (He would take criticism from Wei Wuxian well, but Wei Wuxian thinks he's absolutely perfect, so it's a moot point.)
Anyway:
LQR: Wangji, this particular night hunt situation might go better if you try This next time. I encourage you to experiment and record your observations if you choose.
LWJ: Mn. (Translation: I will do that, because I love you. Not because I agree. We have a pattern of Teacher&Student behavior and share a relationship.)
Random Lan Elder: You should try it this way instead.
LWJ: Mn. (Translation: I will not be doing that. I will remember this moment for years and possibly forever. You have made an enemy for life. I will dwell on this in the dead of night, thinking about how wrong you are.)
But nobody outside of his family can tell the different between "Mn." and "Mn." So nobody really notices and Lan Xichen and Wei Wuxian think it's incredibly funny to watch crusty, dusty old cultivators think they got Lan Wangji to do something he doesn't want to do.
He's just like me fr

you know what, wwx may be a dick but when lxc calls him the biggest mistake lwj ever made only to have jgy’s entire,, jgy-ness outed,, wwx says nothing. wwx is just sitting there smiling,,, vibing,,, enjoying his new life and just being in love with lwj. meanwhile lxc is sitting there like haha my brother fell in love with a demonic cultivator who fucked him over and i’ve hated wwx for that for like 15 years now and it turns out that my best bro, the tightest of dudes, jgy has not only been co-ordinating evil plans with a demonic cultivator who sucked way more than wwx did but also royally fucked over nearly everybody except me and wwx isn’t actually anywhere near as bad as i thought he was. and wwx is just turning to him like (-: can i call you brother now that lan zhan and i are getting married and lxc is sweating because what sort of flower arrangement is gonna suit is apology to wwx.

i strongly believe that in any universe modern or otherwise lwj uses lan xichen as a kind of confessional like a catholic priest. he literally comes into lan xichen's room at four pm precisely because that's the scheduled time that he allows himself to share an Emotion with his brother and sits down and says in a distinctly monotone yet perfectly recognisably anguished tone 'brother i have sinned' and lan xichen sighs very quietly because he doesn't want to hurt his brother's feelings and puts down his pen and says 'is this about wei wuxian' very gently and Lan Wangji is like 'mn' because it has never once Not been about wei wuxian. and then he says something that is Kind Of Weird, But Still Not A Sin like 'he fell asleep when we were studying and i watched his ribcage moving up and down for thirty eight minutes until he choked on nothing and woke himself up; am i evil' and once again lan xichen will kind of not-sigh in a way that makes it very obvious that in all other ways except physical he Is, Indeed, Sighing and has to reassure the most rigidly distraught younger brother in the history of mankind that what he is suffering from is in fact a malady known colloquially as a crush

I think it's really funny that out of 3zun the one that probably likes drinking alcohol the most is in fact Lan Xichen.
Nie Mingjue canonically doesn't like drinking very much. Qinghe alcohol is probably effective for use as paint stripper so he might have a decent tolerance, he just doesn't enjoy it.
Jin Guangyao has likely deliberately worked up the exact tolerance he needs to drink a socially appropiate amount of alcohol at events without actully getting drunk, because I think the act of not being of sound mind in public is like a horror movie to him.
But Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen invented a whole new cultivation trick just to bypass his family's "one sip and we pass the fuck out" piss poor tolerance gene so he can drink as much alcohol as he wants. This man wants to go get white girl drunk with his sworn brothers so bad and neither of them are into it please pray for him.

you're Qin Su - you're the daughter of a minor sect leader, and during the war you're rescued by a kind, handsome, clever young man. after the war he's recognised by his father, the leader of one of the most powerful sects in the jianghu, and you decide to try and persue him as a match. he's ameanable - and though it is definitely you doing most of the chasing, you don't mind, as he's very polite and respectful and seems to like you very much! this seems like a perfect match! you two decide to consumate your relatonship to force your parents' hands.
it works! after only have sex once you're pregnant! you get married and everything is wonderful! except... now he won't kiss or touch you, let alone have sex, and seems uncomfortable even sharing a bed. but... he's still kind and sweet and respectful to you, so you try not be too hurt about it. maybe he'll relax over time.
he spends a lot of time with his sworn brother, but the sworn brother is probably the nicest person in the world and your husband doesn't really have many friends, so you don't mind. in fact, you're really pleased that he has the sworn brother to support him! they probably touch each other more than your husband touches you, and he probably spends more time with his sworn brother than he spends with you, but he still treats you with affection and respect, so you don't really feel like you can complain. you're just happy he's happy!
and then the baby is born, and it's a boy! you've given him an heir! it's perfect and you're so excited, because surely this baby is something the two of you can really bond over together and you can become close again-
and then he names your son as an obvious deliberate reference to his sworn brother.
like. what other conclusions can you really draw, at this point??? I am pretty confident Qin Su believed her husband was gay.
