The ghost of a past
Yu ZiYuan was having enough.
One week ago, YunmengJiang received a letter from GusuLan Clan, saying the Second Master was going to visit Wei WuXian after the bastard dared to invite an master from a main Clan family to her house.
The boy was annoyingly happy for it, laughing and speaking about that other boy like he was some desesperate slut to find a man. It was so disgusting that Yu ZiYuan couldn't even look at him, causing her punishments to increase and a bad familiar feeling on her stomach, a feeling that she felt every day, but seems to get stronger now.
When the week finally passed, a boat from GusuLan arrived at Lotus Pier with Second Child Lan. Wei WuXian already was advertised by her that if he make the Clan lose face, the consequences will be there for him. He said he understood and bowed at her, but she knows that doesn't matter what that son of a whore does, that menace will never find peace and wil always get a way to behave like he doesn't know his own place.
Jiang Cheng was trying to keep the boy in control, but failed miserably like every thing he does and making her even more angry and scream at him of how he wanted to be a Leader if he can't even control a stupid servant.
He and Second Master Lan were not around to her punish him, the other useless disciples said both of them are in the city, eating together. Without any will to be in there, she locked herself in the dorms for hours.
The afternoon came. Yu ZiYuan was out and even more angry than before, with the vision of Wei WuXian and Lan er Gongzi together in the lake he used to loitering around.
When Wei WuXian laughed and she looked for a second at the whole scene in front of her, she frozed.
A flashback stands out over the two: A ghost of a woman with white clothes smiling and swirling like a butterfly around a man in the purple robes of YunmengJiang, the man himself was looking at her with a relaxed position, and now, that bitch's son was laughing exactly like her mother when Jiang FengMian's servant was around.
She knew the servant quite a while, not enough to care to remember him. But CangSe Sanren always hunted Yu ZiYuan in a personal way, in a level that the slighest mention of her or her son was enough to get whip or a look full of rage.
And right now, Wei WuXian, part of her was right in front of Yu ZiYuan with all CangSe's essence.
Yu ZiYuan didn't last long looking at that familiar scene, "Wei WuXian!!!", she stormed at them with Zidian dropping sparks of lightning like a raging storm. Wei WuXian's smile drop immediatly as his body froze, before his face turn into some serious look.
Wei WuXian compliments her, "Yu furen."
Yu ZiYuan, "You i'll never learn, didn't you!? Go to the Hall right now!!", when Wei WuXian was about to go, Lan WangJi moved like he wanted to say something, but Wei WuXian smiled at him in front of Yu ZiYuan.
Wei WuXian, "It was a pleasure seeing you, Lan Zhan! Come back again, mn?"
Lan WangJi frowned but returned the invite with a short 'mn'.
Yu ZiYuan beated Wei WuXian quite too much more than he was able to bear, but even after hours kneeling on the Hall, he was still brighting like the full moon, smiling and recording how Lan WangJi was so boring and funny to tease. It was such a good idea invite him in front of his older brother!
He was even more happy to heard that Lan WangJi was sleeping in YunmengJiang for some day before returning, he would totally ask uncle Jiang to put the GusuLan boy on his room!
Meanwhile, in the Yu's dorms, Yu ZiYuan couldn't sleep well, with that earlier scene in her head. CangSe Sanren voice slowing turning into Wei WuXian's. The woman who took everything she was the right to have, in her eyes, left a piece of herself on Yu ZiYuan's house to do the same with her son.
She wouldn't let that happen.

Just finished twelve moons and a fortnight. It took almost a week and a lot of emotions. Beware of spoilers!! This is essentially a live blogging of it
I AM BACK ! and more prepared to read this than ever. I think I went long enough that I only remember 3 or 4 major bits from this (meishan yu, the amalgamation of all the dead from lotus pier before the sunshot campaign began and wei ying seeing them as acting sect leader, lxc healing a-Qing [which still hurts my soul,,,,its taking from. His life force :((] and if im not wrong, copious letters)
The rest though may be the same as if I was to Iread it for the first time and im looking forward to it.
I have my notes app on the side while I read this bc I am a serial binge reader and need sth to hold onto my thoughts before j forget them, it has happened way too many times ans I end an incoherent mess at every fix when this happens. BUT!! I want to really show how much I love this and I like being detailed. So if this end up crossing the character limit i am not sorry.
Buckle up for the torrent of enthusiasm bc
Here we go !
"crash of someone falling headlong into his room and stumbling over Suibian; he left his sword on the floor with the all the rest of his belongings, which proceed to trip up his mysterious guest three more times before he finally falls against Wei Wuxian’s bed" the mental image here is so funny twin jade of lan sect, stoic man tripping over a sword qjfjskfks aahh but wangxian are so adorable
"he and Wei Wuxian once spent a whole day trying to see which of them could best imitate the contemptuous flapping of Madam Yu’s skirts while Jiang Yanli laughed at them from her desk, only to be scolded and sent to bed early by Jiang Fengmian for skipping their meditation hour. " am I going to end up crying during work hours? Lets hope not, though I won't be surprised if so. Memories of the siblings Yunmeng days always make me emo
"Who’s going to teach him about romance if not Zizhen?”
“I always thought it would be Jin Guangyao.” 
>emotional damage meme starts playing in the background of my head<
" I could have perished at your hands, or Wen Ning’s at your command, and still kissed your fingers on Chenqing as I died. " thats a raw fucking line op holy fuck
DASHIXONG 😭😭😭
Jiang cheng gave him Yanli's clarity bell i -đŸ„ș and ofc he is allergic to emotional convos and tells him to shut up ajfjjwgj
"But—Zhenhong, that was Uncle Jiang’s throne, and Madam Yu’s, and—”
Zhenhong blinks—half out of astonishment and half in what looks like understanding, though Wei Wuxian can’t imagine what there is to understand"
*inhale * FUCK Its a trying effort here to keep my eyes dry I keep tearing up every 5 minutes
Tumblr media
"do you think Jiang-zongzhu and Yu-furen could have stood it?”
“I—”
“And it was not the idea of a supervisory office that made her attack that Wang woman, either.”
“Wh-What?”
“You were hers , da-shixiong. ”
This entire conversation has made me scream inside my head and brought a raging melancholy I stopped breathing for a second.
"What will a mother not say out of worry, when she fears for the lives of her children?” barks the deputy. “Mine has said worse, I assure you! She could have kept you with her to fight, she knew your brother would meet Jiang-zongzhu and Jiang-guniang within hours of his departure—there was no need for you to go with him! She sent you away for your sake just as much as for Sect Leader’s, and I wonder how with your wit you took so long to realize it!”
Me:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The art at the end of  chapter 3 is adorable!!!
"Everything was peaceful and sedate and perfect, and then Lan Jingyi grew old enough to venture out of his parents’ quarters by himself. 
The Cloud Recesses never recovered. "
Every day I am reminded of my love for lan jingyi <3 (hence the username :3)
Reading Ouyang Zizhen's letter and he is so sweet. I love he
"I think Xian-gege knows,” Sizhui says at last. “He was thinking about it before Hanguang-jun and Zewu-jun took him to the discussion conference, I could tell. But when I found him at the Guanyin temple, he looked like—like everything made sense. Like he understood something he didn’t before.”
He knows but I don't know if the boys are ready for this knowledge,,,
JIN LING!!!! I am delighted at the junior quartets friendship. Also remembered both the clothes and what happens when a-qung wakes up and im looking forward to it.
"His stomach growls, and he claps his hands over it in embarrassment before Hanguang-jun produces a second bowl and sets them both down on the table along with two pairs of chopsticks. “You too, Jingyi. Eat.” 1. I KNOW its because of wei yings letter. 2. Dad wangji!!!! My heart is warm, my crops are watered and my skin is clear
"for upon receiving your last letter I thought of how ill he was when I found him hidden in the Demon-Slaughtering Cave, and how long it took him to reach a normal height for his age—his growth was stunted for years after that, and nearly prevented his forming a golden core. Rest assured that I will make sure he is fed and well-rested, Wei Ying, for your sake and mine as well as his—he will eat at least once a day with me in the jingshi from now on, unless he grows so tired of it that even his filial tenderness can no longer bear my company. "
This>đŸ„ș< is literally my face right now. I may look incredibly ugly but I đŸ„ș😭😭 AHH *Clutches hand at chest* my heart
Tumblr media
" I was so happy that it felt as if my heart would break"
I am going to save this for days where I don't have the words. I have felt it before but never had such clear words for it and hhhhh your writing is incredible
"But for now all I can do is pray that Lotus Pier does not go the same way as everything else I have ever tried to protect" actually I think you just like making us sad
The way you capture every characters voice and essence through the letters (in general too but thus isn't abt that) is so good and I am filled with awe and an urge to re read everything though I only have the first volume at home
"kind as well as beautiful, so if someday you wish to marry—you might as well begin here as somewhere else, right? You’ll find someone to match you, sweetheart, someone as brave and good and wise as you are" I am going to go INSANE, xie lian grant me patience for this foolish man. And well. Lwj WILL indeed marry someone from Yunmeng. It IS you wei ying you fool
"“If his first set of standards was because he thought shijie was the best girl in the world, and he wanted a wife like her,” he says at last, “then—Zhenhong, doesn’t it make sense that this set of standards describes someone he already knows? And it’s not Yu-furen, because Yu-furen never—” Wait WAIT IS IT WEN QING
"She sits there for nearly an hour gazing at him in confusion and a little pity, because he wears the same lost look on his face as Daozhang did, right down to the melancholy turn of his mouth and the swollen eyelids that tell of recent tears (because her Daozhang used to cry, and cry often, even though he no longer had eyes to cry with). " EMOTIONAL DAMAGE part 2, electric boogaloo
Lan xichen makes my heart hurt in 7 different ways, 🌊🐮man
Tumblr media
(I can now add pics bc tumblr :D )
"Jin Ling worries his lip for a moment and then runs to join them, propriety be hanged. They’ve only got two weeks, and it’s not as if anyone here is going to tell tales to his Uncle Jiang. He flings his arms around Jingyi, and then Sizhui, and then around all three of them before one of the older Jin disciples clears her throat. " they own my heart, im telling u
Drunk jiang cheng made me sad again :( he does deserve to be happy !!! 😭😭😭
Oh boys,,,,, if it is who I think it is u can't help Jiang cheng. The person may be dead already
“He’ll have to visit me every month,” he mutters at last. “You—you have to share him, okay? He’s mine too.”
“Of course he’s yours too,” Sizhui soothes him, sounding suspiciously near tears himself. “You’re his nephew, he’s never going to leave you. Don’t cry, A-Ling. Don’t cry.”
Each word brings me closer to crying aaaaaaahhhh
Lan wangji's letters to wei ying are going to make me swoon oh my goodness. They're in LOVE ND THEY ARE SOULMATES
Wait wei ying is chronically ill and didn't tell anyone? And he ???? Has been since he was summoned????????? and he didn't ask for help??? What is Going On
...And a little bun has been adopted, my heart really cannot take this
"So she smothered,” says Wei Wuxian, stricken. Jin Guangyao, Jin Guangyao—why does it always come back to you in the end? Is there anyone you did not hurt? Nie Mingjue, my shijie, Jin Zixuan, Jin Ling, Lan Xichen, Lan Zhan—even this poor woman, A-Xin, who died and left her son motherless just as your mother left you." hhhhhhhhh
I love that they'll build a women's shelter, and the soul calming ceremonies written a little while back
"Miles away, in the Cloud Recesses, the third disciple class (including a certain young romantic from Ouyang, who is still a year behind his three best friends in the second group) gets a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of Hanguang-jun blushing over his morning letters and kissing the pages they were written on until his lips go numb.
(Lan Qiren doesn’t break his jade token. He doesn’t. ) " ah wht a blessed sight, i wish I was there
Junior break!!!! !They're adorable. No I will not stop saying that. Them having a picnic and letter meeting at the rabbit field os the cutest thing aaa♡♡♡♡♡♡
"As it happens, however, his lunch isn’t the only thing waiting in his rooms. 
A second plate has been laid out across from his, and two cups of tea are already steaming beside the incense burner—and someone is sitting in Lan Wangji’s place at the table, dressed in mourning white without a single ornament in his hair or even a sword at his waist. The man almost looks like a ghost of Lan Wangji’s younger self, in the days after Wei Ying’s death at the Nightless City and his own forced confinement away from the rest of the clan—but then he turns his face towards the door, and Lan Wangji nearly bites his tongue at the realization that it isn’t a ghost at all.
“Xiongzhang,” he chokes, nearly weeping in relief as his brother’s thin hands rise to clasp his own. “It’s good to see you.”
Screaming and nearly crying again </3
"at last my brother lost his patience and silenced him so forcefully that even the two disciples standing near him found themselves unable to talk for the next twenty minutes. Jingyi was in the room at the time, and he has still not recovered from the shock; Sizhui, on the other hand, is steadfastly refusing to believe that it ever happened at all. "Holy shit I love this. Lxc hath become a parent
I really like Healer Pan
Wei yings more serious letters always leave me feeling stricken with sorrow and yet I keep on hoping hr will realize. He does have a home. With lwj as well as lotus pier
Chapter 11 and holy shit you were not kidding Hanguang-jun is SMOOTH!!!!!
"Don’t let him shirk his duties, or I’ll tell Li Shuai about the time you tried to propose to her with Farmer Tang’s ghoul when we were eighteen.
    In distress, as usual, 
        Sect Leader Jiang Wanyin. "
I cannot stop laughing ajfjskfjsjgj
"That settles it, my Lan Zhan. I’ll make you all the soup and seed-cake you want, but stop asking for the porridge.”
“Mn, all right.” 
His face is pink again, and this time he’s not sure it’s only because of the congee. " they are SO domestic and this is too cute
“You gave up your life for our son,” Lan Wangji tells him, pressing his chin to the top of Wei Ying’s head. “I could do no less.”
Oh my god. .. oh my god
Story time with wen ning! :D
And the aforementioned trunk of clothes appears!
LMAO HOLY SHIT I FRGIT ABT THE RULE WALL  ! lxc is wonderful
"The elders used that one on my younger brother sixteen years ago,” Lan Xichen says grimly. “He was judged for injuring thirty-three clan members after Wei Wuxian was killed, and this was the punishment. But they knew I would speak out against such a harsh sentence, even if it meant I had to take Wangji and A-Yuan and secede from the clan—so they drugged me the night before the trial to ensure that I would sleep straight through it, and then they decided Wangji’s fate in my absence and held me down on the floor in the hanshi with all their spiritual power so that I could not interfere until the beating was over.” my reaction is the same as the kids,,, DAMN
Also no wonder they danced around that fire they were getting rid of some stuff
“I’ve also defaced the wall of sect rules,” Lan Xichen says cheerfully. “And now there are only about two thousand laws left, so perhaps you and the council would like to spend a few hours contemplating the alterations in the morning.” this may  be one of my favorite chapters i can't stop re reading it and am v much invested here
"It occurs to him then that despite the presence of the disciples—all of whom, if he remembers correctly, are still younger than eighteen—the most helpless cultivator among them might as well be himself." HHH HOLY SHIT
"don’t you dare write me directly unless it’s an emergency, you hear? I might have a dying brother on my hands, to say nothing of a twice-orphaned baby, because if Wei Wuxian decides to leave us all because of a night-hunt I doubt Hanguang-jun will wait even a day before following him. Damn them both, to hell and back—I’ll drag them both back to life and murder them again if they even think about it, but I suppose the healers and I ought to try saving them first. " Iam going to go feral actually. I'll go outside and scream towards a lake,  theres one like a bus ride away, I will go insane. I am having si many emotions i can't name em
I may not have much to say at the hunt this time bc im very drawn in and it must me speechless. But the feeling translated and carried over si well. The pacing incredible
"He pauses, wondering what else might be left to ask, and then—
Was it Yu Ziyuan?
The beast responds to that question by reaching forward and striking him across the face. It doesn’t seem angry, exactly, but the unspoken reply was very clearly a negative one; the cloud of resentful energy looks offended on Madam Yu’s behalf" it has been months, but this scene and what followed throughout the chapter have  remained clear in my head ever since the first time reading this. Legitimately unforgettable
"The ghosts come to a halt, then, standing right in front of Lan Wangji’s ward with pensive looks on their faces. Some have clear death-wounds in their chests, and one of the boys wears a gown covered with dull black blood from the cruel gash in his throat—but all of them are looking straight at Li Shuai, and their lips shape her name with open wistfulness; some of the older ones call her A-Shuai, and the children call her Li-shijie, and then they nod once in Lan Wangji’s direction before stepping closer to the ward and disappearing into it. 
He feels their spiritual energy pouring into the seals before he sees it in the ward, reeling back at the sudden shock of ninety-one ghostly golden cores taking up arms beside his—ready to defend their sect in death as they could not do in life, and then he finally understands why the land-eater went unnoticed for so long. The ghosts must have been suppressing it until its power surpassed theirs, and then they sought out Wang Hai for help when they could do nothing more—but for them to have taken shape like this, in something resembling their living selves even though their bodies must long since have rotted away—it should have been beyond them to do such a thing, unless
"
I am both in awe and full of wonder and feel as though I'm there. Words do not begin to describe the intense experience it is to read this
Now to the note on ch 18": If you're reading this as a completed work, stop here and take a break if you need one! The night-hunt arc is officially complete, and the recovery arc picks up in chapter 19. :)" ill take your advice this once bc I have to sleep at a reasonable hour
Started chapter 19 and I am shaking. Oh dear
"He took wei ying from him" NOOOO MY HEART 
"“Oh, he’ll like it well enough,” the other man grumbles, shoving the finished dinner tray towards him and then pushing him out the door. “Make sure you eat some of it, too, or I’ll have two sick people on my hands instead of one.” as always showing care with food <3
Lan Xichen’s letter to mingjue is utterly heartbreaking, and so is the whipping, no matter how many times I've read it
LXC joins the shipping !!!!
'"Wei Wuxian finds his gaze fixed on his brother’s left hand, and on the faint sparks rising from the serpent-shaped ring glinting there. 
“Di-di,” he gasps, trying to fight against the fire in his knees as Jiang Cheng pushes Lan Zhan away and attempts to lift him up. “Don’t whip me anymore, I didn’t mean to—I won’t make trouble for our family again, not as long as I live, please— ”
An utterly stricken look crosses Jiang Cheng’s face, and he stuffs his hand into the pocket of his robes"
FUCK!!! AAHHHHH!!!!! MY HEART!!
Nie huaisang having a tiger is one of the best things in my life now. Good for him good for him
"Wouldn’t you have learned about it anyway, Nie-xiong? Wei Wuxian thinks wryly, as they walk over the high stone gate that separates the training field from the living quarters. You managed to find out the truth about Jin Guangyao and Qin Su, when the only person alive who knew aside from Lianfang-zun was Qin-furen’s maid Bicao. Is there a secret under the sun that you couldn’t bring to the light if you waited for it long enough?"
Okay tbh you'd find me hard pressed to say a mdzs character im not fond of, and ofc the Nies are also some of my favorites. And thi makes me think so much. Because after all is said nd done, after nhs exposed jgy and his schemes and wit came to light, we do know he is clever but he is then also under constant suspicion and scrutiny. And yes he may scheme but didn't he only do tht to avenge his brother? I do believe he is done with it. And yet I also believe he is also very up to date with news and gossip and going-ons. It brings me to mind, how much does he know, and how much of that weighs on him? He doesn't have much family left, most of his friends from his youth have grown apart or may have died at the war. Anyways im very emotional about nie huaisang
''realizes exactly why Nie Huaisang called out in fear on that night in the Guanyin temple, and why he had refused to let Jin Guangyao leave the place alive. 
The very last mystery, a voice in the back of his mind seems to say, solved by the simple fact that Nie Huaisang’s loyalty ran deeper than any of us ever knew. "
Many scenes here just make me go "Holy fucking shit man"
"the knowledge that Jin Guangyao’s death was an act of love as well as an act of hate,"
Tumblr media
"As for the kisses you owe to me, my heart, you must tell our little son that he is lucky to be receiving them in my place. Such tender gifts are rarer than gold and dearer than the stars, and I will count myself blessed if you deign to give me another. "💘💘💙💙💙💙
"I was used to kissing you whenever the mood struck me while we were still together in Yunmeng, after all, and breaking the habit has been most difficult. I even kissed A-Hong once without thinking about it, and this morning I almost kissed the top of Nie-xiong’s head after breakfast. He took it as a slight to his small stature, though, so he chased me all the way back to my rooms and told me he would feed me to A-Yong if I dared to do it again. " screaming again. They're so married already. And nhs forehead kiss abjdsr that's adorably funny
"Shufu always suspected them, Lan Wangji repeats to himself. The next several years—
“Xiongzhang,” he ventures at last. “The trial they tampered with, was it—”
WAS IT HIS MOM'S???????
[lxc, on the podium: and in conclusion, i will make a-qing a wonderful father and will protect her all my life
lwj, supportive but confused: i agree, brother, but where are the elders?
lxc: in a better place now. sit down immediately]
Some of ur notes are really making me laugh a lot akxksfkskf
Nie Shiyong!!!!! I totally forgot abt her!!! One line and I already lover her
"Nie Huaisang closes his eyes and puts his head in his hands. 
“When he brought you back, he brought you back wrong. ”
I, too, am putting my head on my hands. Jesus
Tumblr media
“to know the beast is to know the girl, and to know the girl is to know the beast. As a maiden, she is bloodthirstier than most men, and as a tigress, she is gentler than even a house cat." Tbh that's a mood
Ah yes, the qinghe robes
“I was promised a hundred, in your letter,” he whispers, lifting his beloved’s arm again and kissing the heart of his palm. “Will you deny me, my heart?”  this was so sweet !!!!!!
The family having a meal together 😭😭😭💙💙💙 and the yearning keeps strong ah Lan zhan hang in there
"Xiao-Yu refuses to take the bee back as they walk to the the city gates to summon their carriage, content merely to watch Sizhui pretend to play with it until the black-painted conveyance comes rolling up the road—which is when the baby falls fast asleep, right before A-Yuan tucks the doll safely under his arm and sits on the bench opposite him to stare in utter adoration" my heart is full and soft. This is absolutely precious
:And Lan Wangji obeys and lowers his head, nearly sobbing aloud as Wei Ying fastens the necklace just below the fall of his hair—because it feels like a moment of marriage, somehow, as if this oath to return to his heart was the first of their bows before heaven." I should really stop (mentally) screaming everytime something gay or cute or emotional happens, I already get daily headaches. But alas I carry much emotion with me
Yes it was extremely gay and extremely tender and I love them. Jiang cheng pls stop being an angry grape and jealous brother wwx won't abandon you after getting married
Holy shit was madam yu betrothed to zhao zhuliu?
OH SHIT
Oh S H I T this is heartbreaking
Damn the amount of harrowing family secrets for each clan ,,,, p a i n
"But the Unclean Realm was only once a second home, because it ceased to be so, after Mingjue was dead. Lan Xichen has not held the place of the sect master's sworn brother for many years, firstly because his sworn brother was gone, and then because he failed him and Huaisang so completely that he did not notice Mingjue’s murder taking place right before his eyes. 
I promised you I would take care of Xiao-Sang, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH😭😭😭😭
"My heart was broken the day the council refused to use Inquiry as testament for your mother’s trial, and there was nothing I could do "
IT WAS THE TAMPERED TRIAL WASNT IT???? Also, hhhhhhhhhhhhh big oof for lqr. My heart goes out to him too
"To this day, Wangji insists that there is no need for thanks or contrition between sweethearts. 
But in Lan Xichen’s opinion, the old saying holds even truer for brothers, and it always will." This while part,,, i keep saying it but its because it's true. The way emotion is captured through the words is breathtaking and leaves me bereft of words and full of feeling
"Was that at the discussion conference when you woke up with a giant boil on your forehead and screamed so loudly that you woke me up?” Jiang Cheng snorts, swallowing his mouthful of pastry. “Let that morning be forever enshrined in the memory of my disciples, who jumped out of bed and got into emergency formation for a hunt before they figured out what all the wailing was.”
“You’re heartless, Jiang-xiong.”
“But not pimply, though.”
This is amazing ajckskkckskfkej discussing skin care has never been more entertaining
"“Don’t be mean!” Lan Xichen cries, pulling him into his arms. Wei Wuxian feels his mouth drop open, completely forgetting to struggle even when the older man tucks him close to his chest like a mother holding a child that matched her in height, and then he looks toward Jiang Cheng in sheer confusion when Lan Xichen points an accusing finger at him. “Wangji’s head is empty of everything but Wei-gongzi, too. You mustn’t say such things!”
“I know that, Zewu-jun.”
“We all knew that,”
This is delightful and I cannot stop laughing
The lightheartedness of this just,  it makes me very happy. Them re doing the list too !!! Amazing,  *insert lady gaga meme here*
Ofc , all in agreement Lan Xichen is incredibly beautiful. No arguments to be made
Ans lmao the rankings andjmakdka
"ensuring that the walking talismans are fully replenished (so that it can follow Wei Wuxian on its own, rather than either of them having to carry it) and that it is stuffed with plenty of soft pillows and blankets, not to mention their son’s beloved bee. " I keep trying to picture this but I cant. Does it Just float around him? Slide through the floor? I have no clue and will remain figuring this out
HHHH the WEDDING ROBES!!! lovely mental image,  we have been blessed on this fine day
"Lan Wangji found himself wondering where she procured it before noting that the dress was made in the light, layered style of Yunmeng and Baling Ouyang.
Ouyang Zizhen, then, he thinks, hiding a smile at the thought of it. Perhaps he even chose this one for her to wear tonight."
Once again: they're the cutest
HOLY SHIT WHAT A START TO THE BANQUET
"At least—at least it wasn’t the fire.”
Be right back, im gonna go stare at a wall until I get myself together
Also Jin guangshan,,, he can meet me in the fucking pit
"Lan Zhan!” he hears Wei Ying shriek, just as he takes a sip to ensure that the drink will suit his zhiji’s tastes. “That’s honey mead from Baling, not fruit tea! Spit it out, now, or you’ll–”
And then the world goes dark around him, like the feeling of falling into a pleasant dream, right before he wakes up in Wei Ying’s bed the next morning with no memory of how he got there. " im so ready for shenanigans
OH I WAS JOT WRONG! I was thinking about it, and wwxs pains,  and nearing the end of this chapter I was like,  wait isn't he regaining his scars also? And isn't it the wen brand this time? And it’s was and I was essential surprised pikachu
... but WHY are they appearing? If it due to the ritual? To zidian? A mixture of both or sth else,???
(Both regarding wwx being ill and the corpses in the water) The mystery solving here Is so interesting and *chefs kiss* amazing. I love me a good case solving
Im so confused about the dagger
[Post data- I finished the fic and am no longer confused]
"In which Wei Wuxian finally discovers the truth behind his illness, and the reader learns that stiltonbasket has been lying about the title all along." WHAT
"I heard Shijie calling me,” he whispers, swinging Xiao-Yu up into his arms. “She’s outside all by herself, so we have to go and get her.” oh no just what is happening???
Xiao yu had been saying his a-niang had the knife, and they just said the lining of the robr may have been removed with it. Was Wei ying possessed? And why was he drawn away???
HE *WAS* POSSESSED
I wonder of the ghost was mo xuanyu. "“I think it jumped with me,” he says slowly. “The ghost, I mean. It kept saying it was sorry, and that it wouldn’t have doomed me to death if it knew any better.” you know? Thats my current theory
"but if death occurred, it always came exactly twelve moons and a fortnight after the patient was first healed, though I was never able to determine the reason why before I stopped performing the procedure, even for those whose cores I was certain would be sufficient. "
WHAT?  W H A T?
"And then the book falls open to the very last page, displaying a half-finished, familiar array with a tiny caption written underneath it in red ink. 
Yanghua advised me to make a replicable array for the core sacrifice, in case it should be needed again. Despite her urging, however, I only consented to create one for healing with the sacrifice of one’s own golden core, instead of the core of a willing participant. 
Wei Wuxian picks the book up and closes it. 
I didn’t have a choice, a mournful voice echoes in the back of his mind. I was dying, Young Master Wei. "
HO L Y SHIT MO XUANYU HAD IT
I know he wrote a will, but there are 10 chapters left so this mf better not die
This is so intense I can barely pause to write. Holy shit. Empathy
"The array he constructed was half of Wei Ying’s and partly his own invention, and the rest was taken from his memory of the physician’s journal he read in Qinghe" /oh/
"but Mo Xuanyu was certain that his jindan would be more than sufficient to heal him; as long as the core was not wholly used up," then tge passage makes more sense now. If the core is weaker, they will die after twelve moons and a fortnight. His core wouldn't be enough, especially considering that even though Wei ying nonlinear had one, before that he was a genius and remarkably powerful
A mistake. There was an accident which may have been the cause of it all. Oh my goodness
"Not a mistake, Mo Xuanyu tries to say. It was written in the belief that two golden cores would be enough to heal you, and your jindan was not there!"
I am losing my goddamn mind
“Wei Wuxian doesn’t need your core, Lan Wangji,” Jiang Wanyin rasps. “He needs his jindan. He needs mine.”
I mean,  I was thinking the same but im still very anxious about it...
 
“Please,” he sobs, knocking his head against the ground until Lan Wangji can hear the sound of it striking the floor. “I have lived in anguish without a jindan, and I have lived for sixteen years without my brother. I know which between the two is worse, and death would be better than knowing that he suffered and died in such a way, because of me. Please, Lang-furen—I know it will be breaking your healing vows, but this is the only way forth, I pray you—”
Yeah alright now im legit crying,,thank goodness I cried yesterday too or id be sobbing rn
Tumblr media
"Brothers, sharing a single core, Lan Wangji thinks dizzily, slumping to the floor. One flesh and two masters of a single jindan, which loves and obeys them both. "
Im speechless once more.
It was a success. I'm so glad. This was a Rollercoaster of emotions
"Rather, he needs what you and Wei-xiong have: a faithful, steady deputy who can handle matters in his stead if necessary, and stand beside him in all things no matter what he must face. Luo Qingyang was once that for Jin Zixuan" MIANMIAN!!!!!!!
Nothing warms my heart more than seeing Jiang cheng and wei wuxian be brothers and being happy
"he is as well and grumpy as ever, which delights Wei Wuxian so much that he pushes him into the lake as a welcome-back present. 
Jiang Cheng yanks Wei Wuxian in after him, and it reminds Wei Wuxian so much of the happy winters of his youth that he bursts into tears" now im emotional again, this is making me wanna see my sister đŸ„ș😭💙
FINALLY !!! BETROTHED!!!!! WWX REALIZED HES IN LOVE!!!
"Lan Zhan would probably rather kiss Jiang Cheng than blame Wei Wuxian for any of his troubles."LMAO
"squeezing poor Xiao-Yu like a laundress wringing out a tablecloth." Poor xiao yu skfwkgkskkgkw
"Not yet,” the baby protests, when Wei Wuxian makes note of his observations to Jiang Cheng. “Xiao-Yu is little! Only Papa can say my big name.” PRECIOUS !!! Did u kidnap my donkey andjsj lmao
The junior's shenanigans will never stop being funny. Lan Qing being exasperated and fond of her boys is super relatable too and brought a smile to my face
I am jittery with excitement as Lan zhan goes to wei ying
[Brief trivia note: the Ouyang cultivator who brought Xiao-Yu gifts is his paternal grandfather; Xiao-Yu's birth father is the young master from Baling who challenged LWJ's choice to adopt Xiao-Yu during the discussion conference.] holy FUCK HOW THE TURN TABLES?!!!! AH?!!!! DUDEE
Wen ning đŸ„ș😭😭😭😭pls come back 😭😭
WA IT WHAT???? "Wen Ning drags in a deep, loud breath, crying Jie, Jie, Jie, and takes another staggering step into his sister’s arms. " im going to have to re read the second half of this chapter aren't i
Did Lan xiyan summon wen qing to her body to cure the plague and her baby? Or is it something else? “It was, I think, only out of desperation that Lang Xiyan managed to find a remedy that would cure the blinding distemper.” my mind is running in circles
THE SERVING GIRL?
/oh/ it *is* wen qing. Im-
You really did that holy shit.  I deeply appreciate tge explanation on the author notes and am happy to see i did understand and realize. I'm gonna have to re re read this a third time to see the foreshadowing again bc its immaculate holy shit.  This is so good
"Upon further reflection, perhaps he ought to think about why A-Hong’s words cheer him as they do. 
But Jiang Cheng is nothing if not a master of dismissing such matters entirely, so he finishes the rest of his dinner in silence and hurries off to bed. " must all Jiang men be fools when it comes to love?
“Whatever you may wish from me, it is yours already,” Lan Zhan says solemnly. “Our marriage bows have nothing to do with it. Have we not lived as zhangfu and xiang-gong these last thirteen months, my heart?" Im going to get cavities.
The wen siblings arrived to gusu!!!!!! 💙💙💙
"Wei Wuxian slumps back onto the floor like a miserable red pancake as he stares up at the rafters. " I too am crying over wen qing.  Also 'miserable red pancake 'ajfjskfkskkf
"Wei Wuxian obeys with his heart in his throat, and blushes so fiercely at the thought of the day to come that Wen Qing giggles herself into a coughing fit. " đŸ„șđŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł
lmao MIANMIAN! Telljng the "are you in love with maiden Luo? " story ajfjamfkskgkskgi prime material always to poke fun at wangxian
THEYRE MARRIED YOUR HONOR 😭đŸ„șđŸ„ș💙💙💙💙đŸ„șđŸ„șđŸ„șđŸ„ș💙💙💙💙💙💙
"Mm, I know. It’s the same with A-Hua, even though I didn’t give birth to her. She’s mine, the best of me, and she’s going to have everything she could ever want.”
MY HEART!
[a look into the future at Ouyang Zizhen and A-Qing's wedding day! Much baby fluff, feels, and hijinks to follow. <^-^>] !!!!!! IM EXCITED FOR THIS!!
"for the Cloud Recesses loves its troublemakers dearly, and nobody weeps more bitterly than its master when one is finally married away from the sect. " you keep coming out with Bangers for lines these are so good
Aaahhhh my heart!!!!! A single tear of joy dropped from my face as I finished reading sjskciaufis. This was so good !!!!!!! I mm going to go on and read everything in this series of course.  I hope I wasn't too bothersome with my long ass coment, quotes and all
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

ep21 (pt 1): jyl the mvp!
oh god oh fuck I forgot how emotional the last one ended. jyl pulling wwx inside to get a look at him and everyone's crying đŸ„ș
Tumblr media Tumblr media
😭😭😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is so funny. jc what are you so worried about? your brother hearing that you looked for him for 3 months? which you did? he's so silly and emotionally constipated. that is a totally normal thing to do for your family
Tumblr media
I remember ppl being SO mad at jgy for saying the same thing to nhs in fatal journey before a Mandarin speaker had to step in and be like 'that's actually a normal thing to say to someone grieving, he wasn't being rude or inconsiderate' which. jgy is so gifted with social graces, of COURSE he'd say the appropriate thing at that time
Tumblr media
this is so dramatic lmao. I know how you die old man and it's pretty embarrassing
Tumblr media
ah the dramatic look over the shoulder bc he misses his boy best friend who HE pushed away wwx you mess
Tumblr media
literally shut the fuck up sect leader yao you would be dead and powerless without the protection of the jiang clan you owe your life and your clan to this family be polite
Tumblr media
wwx saying this is very 😼 but it immediately cutting to jc is ALSO 😼 and I don't think its intentional
Tumblr media
oh my sect sect leader ouyang???!!
Tumblr media
ofc the lans get put in rooms that have a name like that
Tumblr media
wwx getting sick of everyone there and just getting up and leaving. politically not great but he lives his truth. I think along with missing lwj he just got sick of the old sect leaders congratulating him for torturing and murdering a man, and then hounding him about his sword
Tumblr media
jc I am so fucking proud of you I could cry
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the kicker is that jc is for once saying the RIGHT thing, compared to his usual sarcasm and aggression and sneers. but wwx is the one in these episodes who's not cooperating. he's being deliberately contrary, vague, and disobedient. he's not playing nice with jc or the other sect leaders. and I can tell why politics is the last thing on his mind given the fact that he just pulled himself out of three months of utter hell and he's still traumatized, but it doesn't help. his defense mechanism of joking and dismissal to cover his severe trauma and his massive secrets doesn't make him look very good either. it's so sad bc it's all he can do though!
also this is a grade A eyeroll from jc here. impressive
Tumblr media Tumblr media
do not break my heart like that wei wuxian
Tumblr media
*cues the observation that wwx is wearing his robes in the way that corpses being prepared for burial are dressed*
it is very annoying when fans create content where wwx is unwilling/unable to meditate when 1. how the fuck do you think he formed his core in the first place and 2. it's clearly an important part of his process as a demonic cultivator as well
Tumblr media
jyl is being so supportive and compassionate about chenqing in a way that literally nobody else is. she compliments it! she compares it to her mother's most powerful tool!
Tumblr media
I think the other translation is 'to give a full account'. I think chenqing's name is really neat, I love reading analysis for it
Tumblr media
kill me. and wwx's face after she says this...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
she's like the only person here who halfway knows how to approach someone with trauma. express your love and support and concern but don't push them. allow them to tell you on their terms, in their own time. don't make it the only thing you talk about. don't make them have to ask not to talk about it. lwj gets a little better at this but it takes like 20 years
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and who else says this!!! who else thanks him!!!! im going to cry
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jc and wwx both take a great deal of comfort and guidance from jyl in these scenes - she's level-headed, compassionate, affectionate, caring, and gives solid advice that her brothers can act on. and she stands up for wwx in ways that jc can't or won't. love her
Tumblr media
literally shut the fuck up jzx I know how you die
Tumblr media Tumblr media
see jc!!! this is what you SHOULD say to those assholes who won't leave you alone and who question your leadership! THAT'S what's called showing a united front!
on the other hand, given how things progress I don't doubt the jins would invent some pretext to attack the jiangs if jc didn't go along with them so it's not like simply saying this would have solved things. but man, this was a good deflection
