unbelievably obsessed with how the juniors realize ‘mo xuanyu’ who is meant to be a bumbling idiot and embarrassment to his family is incredibly powerful, brilliant, and clearly very close with lwj, and they barely question it they’re just like yeah sure that checks out, moving on!

[yunmeng-jiang]

why do people act like Wen Ning is like... totally well-adjusted and normal and the only sane man in a situation? this guy:

was attacked by an evil statue as a kid resulting in part of his soul getting sucked out

got one compliment from some guy he'd never met and immediately attached himself to said guy to the point of risking his life and betraying his entire sect just to help out the guy's brother/bestie who he basically could not care less about except he's related to That Guy Who Was Nice That One Time

is brutally murdered while being forced into slave labor and comes back from the dead as a zombie so full of repressed anger that he commits mass murder without even being fully cognizant of what he's doing

goes to live in a place full of dead people with the last living members of his family (his big sister and like 20 elderly folks plus his four-year-old cousin) and The Guy, who is now a mad scientist necromancer, trying desperately to scrape out a living from their corpse radish farm and slowly starving to death

accidentally murders someone and The Guy gets blamed for it so he tries to sacrifice himself to save The Guy and it doesn't even work and Wen Ning's entire family dies and he spends 13-16 years being experimented on by a different mad scientist necromancer

immediately breaks out of the secret torture dungeon when The Guy returns, then starts following him around like a lost puppy

discovers that he's not the only sentient zombie in the world but the one other sentient zombie can't talk and is too interested in another quest to even want to hang out

learns that his four-year-old cousin is actually alive and goes off to have adventures with him for a while and teach him about their family legacy

like. this guy is not normal. he is so messed up in the head. things have happened to him that no one else understands and seemingly no one cares except the cousin who barely remembers him. he's considered a monstrosity by 99 percent of the world. he's still a little obsessed with The Guy but The Guy straight-up abandons him to go travel the world and have crazy wild sex with the man who raised his cousin into a very nice young man during the 13/16 years of evil necromancy torture. what the fuck

WangXian order this cake for A-Yuan's 6th birthday

And A-Yuan loves it, but refuses to eat it because it would "hurt the bunnies"

Straight from Twitter trash hell-hole: MDZS edition

"LWJ was selfish for risking his clan to save A-Yuan"

Hey guys, so it's selfish to save war refugees, especially children because you are risking your clan's reputation.

Guess what type of stans spew this bullshit.

It turns out I never posted this?? From my 'Wei Wuxian Keeps Accidentally Adopting Children In the Burial Mounds AU'

[ayu-pun]

lsz is back on red carpet!

bonus: i rlly enjoy coming up with outfits for him

[frankencanon]

my mom started watching the untamed recently and i just want you all to know that her nickname for the lan sect is "the angel boys"

[mdzs-owns-my-ass-i-guess]

I headcanon that the person that spoiled Lan Sizhui most growing up wasn't actually LWJ, but LXC.

He finds out LWJ brought in a child and his Baby Senses™️ immediately go off full blast

There is a baby on the premises and LXC will spoil him, rules be damned. He's been craving to do that ever since LWJ grew up anyway.

Zewu-Jun attends clan meetings with A-Yuan on his shoulders for years and nobody says anything because the one time someone tried talking A-Yuan into getting off, his eyes welled up and his lower lip jutted out trembling - and Zewu-Jun's otherwise kind smile exuded Sunshot-era murderous intent

"Wangji, you need to rest. I will watch A-Yuan for you."

"Brother, you've babysat him this entire week. I can have him for an afternoon-"

"It's alright-"

"Brother, I miss him."

LWJ and LXC nearly fight over who gets to spend more time with the baby

The Lan sect's budget acquires a sizeable gap due to "unforeseen expenditures". The unforeseen expenditures are the fact that LXC took A-Yuan to see the merchants in Caiyi Town and he made irresistible puppy dog eyes at him at the toys stand

"Where is Zewu-Jun? We need to talk to him about-"

"He's playing tag with A-Yuan, and specifically instructed us not to disturb him unless someone is dead or dying."

"Fair enough."

A-Yuan becomes Zewu-Jun's super cute advisor whenever he has to do paperwork/make decisions. He writes important things down while A-Yuan sits next to him and draws pictures with his expensive brushes. He may or may not chew on the delicate handles too, but that's okay, it gives them character.

"I have to go to the emergency discussion conference tomorrow, so we can't go sword flying anymore"

"Tell them your tummy hurts so you can stay home."

(He does. It works.)

"Brother, I trust you, but it is dangerous to take a child this young flying on the sword."

"Wangji, I am more than capable of keeping A-Yuan safe. Haven't I done the same with you?"

A-Yuan returns raving about the cool tricks Zewu-Jun did and LWJ gives LXC A Look™️ because he knows none of those tricks are safe. From experience.

LWJ doesn't let LXC take A-Yuan to discussion conferences for many reasons - and LXC deals with it by shopping at every single children's store in Lanling to bring his favorite nephew gifts

"We appreciate your generosity, brother, but where will we put all these things?"

"I could ask an annex be built for the jingshi."

Whenever LXC wants to get out of something, he says he "has urgent uncle duties that cannot be postponed" and flees

"Brother, A-Yuan must eat his vegetables without being bribed with candy afterwards."

"It is called a rewards system, Wangji, and it works. He is eating his vegetables. Even the broccoli!"

NMJ takes a liking to the kid but has no idea how to interact with him so he brings him play weapons and teaches him saber techniques.

NHS has paint sets sent as gifts and LXC walks around with colorful handprints on his robes for days.

"I wonder why A-Yuan doesn't like A-Yao all that much..."

.✦ Chapter 30 "Lessons in Patience"

Lan Xichen slid his hand down the window sill, listening to the pittering sound against the stones outside. Usually, he loved the sound of the rain. But all he could think of was walking side by side with his comrade on the battlefield, listening to the fierce storm and enjoying their smaller victories. Now that there was a chance Nie Mingjue would never walk again, or worse… he wished he had spent more time with him. That’s how it always was though, when you were afraid to lose someone. You always wish for just a little more time.

I had to go with something simpler today because the chapter was under crunch time, but i don't think i did too badly! I hope you guys enjoy the chapter, I'm glad to finally be able to post something! excuse the odd brush choices, I also got a new computer during my away time, and i haven't transferred everything over yet! i need to export the brushes i was using on my other computer, I just keep forgetting and i didn't have time to transfer them before i worked on the piece today.

As always, check out more of my MDZS projects or more GOM in my masterpost ❤ Check out more under the read line.

As a reminder, we had an anniversary last month for GOM and i streamed it! You can see the finished art as well as get the link to my twitch from here.

I'll post it here too though, in case it will help more people see it!

Happy Anniversary! it's been a year since the 15th of January, 2023, when i posted the first chapter of Ghost of Mine! It means a lot to me that i have so many readers and I'm trying my best to stay strong through the writing process so i can give you guys a good experience- and of course me too! My personal goal is to be able to finish Ghost of Mine and do it well, I think i will feel accomplished and have succeeded in making a lot of readers happy!

Either way, this experience has been a ride so far- this fic is a record length for me, surpassing my own writing (a rewrite of an original of mine; a work in progress) and past attempts at fanfiction. I'm very proud of how far I've come, and I'm glad you guys have been with me through it all.

Sizhui is tired of Jingyi's bullshit.
