with respect to this person’s hc, I think lan jingyi being 100% lan makes him such a better and more interesting character, and actually makes him worth paying attention to as a character for what his behavior reveals about the current lan sect

#imo stereotyping people's personalities by sect is not a valuable or particularly meaningful approach #and obviously not supported by the vast variety in personalities and outlook within a single sect #wen ning vs. wen chao #nhs vs. nmj #jfm vs jc #and lxc vs. lwj #just look at lan yi! she's lwj's ancestor - nobody more lan. and she defied all orthodoxy. and that was the ppint #walking that back and tying personality to sect is just not very interesting #what if lan jingyi was a naturally loudmouthed and sarcastic person and he was able to thrive in the lan sect #because of the changes that lwj was instrumental in. and the lan sect #is a more open-minded and supportive and accepting place because of it #I'd much rather have that narrative #or what if the lans are still incredibly strict and ljy has preferential treatment because he's part of the lan family #or what if the lans are still incredibly strict and he doesn't get preferential treatment and he's punished all the time but he STILL #mouths off because he's irrepressible and his elders can make him do lines but they won't change who he is as a person #JL has a personality AND things going on. lsz has things going on but no personality #ljy has a personality but nothing going on #like the og trio in many ways in fact...#ficblogging
