i keep thinking about the odyssey i am THINKING about wei wuxian as odysseus. you were dead. its been years since you’ve seen your family. the child you left behind is almost a man. you wear a face they don’t recognise, you sneak in through the back door. the dog gives your identity away. the world knows it’s you when you draw your weapon. the person you love recognises you by the original symbol of your love—a secret that no one else in the world knows about, still, because they kept it safe for all these years. you get the chance to go back and despite everything, you found home waiting for you; he kept your place and raised your son and he was still there waiting for you when you got back. tell me o muse, about a complicated man i am extremely not okay

Sangcheng week Day 2 - Music
Even with all the effort that Nie-zongzhu put into not cultivating properly with the Nie sabers, he still starts suffering from Qi deviations just like his predecessors, due to accumulated heart demons from the past decade. He vehemently refuses to be treated with the song of clarity for the longest time and only finally relents when he is promised to be held through it and kept safe by his beloved.
(this time i went with the live-action flavour because i never tried that before and it was pretty fun change actually haha)

im back to thinking about wei wuxian because in the span of a night his life fell apart and he was rendered speechless again and again and within just a couple days so much grief and hatred filled him that he accepted the fact that mercy is no longer an option but he is for once faced with the overwhelming power of the wens and this was why no other clan ever tried anything and i am really thinking about how he met wen ning two years prior and was nice to him and defended him and then forgot about the whole situation because he just is naturally that kind and then they meet again and wei wuxian is angry and grieving and accepting the fact that he will kill this guy because there is no way a wen will just let him go and then wen ning helps him rescue jiang cheng and promises to find jiang fengmian and yu ziyuan’s bodies and takes them to wen qing, the best doctor of her generation, all because he remembered the boy who was nice to him two years ago.
like with wei wuxian’s impression on people, lan wangji is also the go-to (rightfully so), but like. so much of the plot kicked off because wei wuxian was nice to wen ning.

hanguang-jun day!! @ghcstchild sent:
Cold fingers run gently through the fur collar of a robe, snow-covered but still warm enough to shield him as Wei Wuxian nuzzles shamelessly into the heat of his husband’s neck. ❝ You weren’t in bed this morning, ❞ he mutters softly. It counts as a criminal offense. It left him a little worried and noticeably disappointed. ❝ Now half of your birthday present is frozen and you’ll have to warm it up with hot tea and a nice fire before unwrapping, “ the chuckle that falls is unbearably adoring. He doesn’t pull too far away, just enough to leave some space between them and plant a kiss on Lan Wangji’s lips. ❝ As for the other half… ❞ a small box is placed in the other’s hand, with a simple but elegant ring inside it. They both have worried too much in the last few months, pointlessly, irrationally. ❝ My golden core isn’t strong enough to make it work the way it’s supposed to yet, but it’s bound to me. When you’re away or I leave on a night hunt… ❞ even more pointlessly and irrationally he buries his face in that soft fox fur again with a quiet groan. ❝ It’s stupid. But you already have everything else, so it’s really not fair... ❞
birthdays are strange for lan wangji. since the first one he'd spent without his mother, he'd come to think of them more as a time of pain and longing than one of celebration. it had only grown worse on his first birthday after wei wuxian's death — forced to acknowledge that lan wangji was growing older, while his zhiji, his zhiyin never would.
it is pointless to worry about such a thing now, this he knows. but he had spent 13 years in such a headspace, and there are days where he forgets he no longer has to grieve. it had become second nature to him. so, when he woke up and saw wei ying by his side and felt like a man staring at the place his limb once was, felt the phantom pains of years of mourning, he left.
by the time he hears the crunching of snow behind him, the tightness in his chest had subsided some. he opens the edges of his fur coat instinctually, allowing wei ying to burrow into his warmth as he always did in this weather. the one time lan wangji is the warmer of the two. he listens to him speak, drags his hands across the expanse of his body, letting his presence wash over him and drag any lingering sadness away with the knowledge that wei ying is here.
when he finally remembers to speak, it is a firm statement. “ not stupid. ” golden eyes gaze upon the ring with unabashed fondness. it is lovely, modest but undeniably beautiful in the way lan wangji prefers. “ it is beautiful, wei ying. i only wish we could match. ” ever since his husband had started wearing his underrobes "by mistake", he'd grown a little obsessed with the idea of the two of them matching. having an outward expression of their bond to each other. but no matter, they could worry about that later.
he pulls back from their embrace enough to take wei ying's face in his hands, momentarily short circuiting on how small it looked in his large hands before placing a kiss on his head. “ mn. already have everything. ”

Summary:
Usually there is a bit of plain bread and water. Some days I see no one at all and receive no food. Some days Wen Chao or an underling stands outside my locked door with a plate of some highly aromatic dish, asking question after question while I silently meditate and the meal grows cold.
Twice they beat me, hoping to gain by brute force what they cannot by threats and cajoling. There has, of course, been no medical treatment for my broken leg or the new bruises.
I can tell Wen Chao and his men grow frustrated that they can force neither word nor reaction from me. It is a consolation. I will not give them the satisfaction. They can beat me, starve me, mock and isolate me. As long as I maintain my dignity I'm winning. As long as I uphold the honor & principles of my clan, Gusu is not lost. I will not give them the satisfaction.
