#just a bunch of chill lans chillin' somewhere

[jonathankai]

The question about MDZS that will never let me rest – what are Lan Jingyi’s origins? He is so un-Lan compared to everyone else! Even Sizhui, who was in the sect since early childhood, successfully assimilated everything Lan. That makes me think that Lan Jingyi came to Cloud Recesses later, but he has the cloud ornament on his headband, so he’s either adopted by unnamed Lans oooor there is a Lan side branch somewhere.

And the thought about side branch is so funny, because remember how different Wens were? What if Jingyi is typical for his side of the family? Imagine, there’s a whole bunch of Lans out there who say stuff like: “Three thousand rules are to be treated with utmost respect and seriousness. We dedicate our lives to commemorate the ways of our family. But only gods are without flaws and what can we, humble beings… Wait, what? What did you say? The rules’ count went up to four thousand?? Oh, for fuck’s sake!”
