#wwx is NOT oblivious... YOU are!

[ninjakk]

When you see someone talking about how novel WWX didn't develop feelings for LWJ as early on as cql WWX... And novel WWX is an oblivious idiot 😬 Not a new argument.. but what the hell?!

Firstly, how can he be BOTH?! He either developed feelings for LWJ and is "oblivious" OR he "didn't have feelings for LWJ" until his second life or when you deem him to do so. Make your mind up! Both are wrong, but at least stick to one!

Even if you're inept at reading subtext or just "oblivious" yourself and can't see WWX's rather apparent infatuation with LWJ right from the very first time they met (which even JC can see to a certain extent!) - WWX literally confesses later in the novel (and extras!) that in hindsight, he now knows he had a huge crush on LWJ from the beginning. There are a number of reasons WWX doesn't fully acknowledge his feelings towards LWJ in his first life and quite frankly, being oblivious is NOT one of them.

The irony that these people are in fact the oblivious ones does not escape me... 🙄😤

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Dishonourable Demonstration

[First] Prev <–-> Next

[layzeal]

i absolutely eat it UP that one of the reasons wwx is so hesitant to believe lwj has feelings for him is that he can't tell if lwj treats him with so much goodness and kindness because he's simply that good of a person or if there's ~something more to it~

and!! here's what gets me: he's 100% right to question that. because from all we know, lan wangji would still have protected and done everything he did even if he wasn't in love with wwx. it all comes down to his beliefs, and standing up to them by protecting him. wwx is afraid to jump to conclusions because his fears are genuinely very well based!

[queseraphita]

wangxian just kinda fucks me up on the relatability of one half being so rational about reality that you logic your way out of vulnerability while the other half feels so intensely it scares yourself with fear of what could happen but end up missing the opportunities of what could be

HOLLOW KNIGHT AU - PART 14

This au is just me trying to draw one scene and discovering that I actually need to draw ANOTHER SCENE BEFORE so it just makes more sense. In this case, I realized that Hornet shoul already be in the story, and I had Mian Mian’s design ready so: HERE IT IS!!!

I chose her as hornet because: 1) Same pink aesthetic 2) I really like when stories have mm and wwx being friends and 3) I really like mm and she deserves it

Her story is not exactly the same as in the game, but she’s ready to kick asses and take some names!! And train with wwx because lwj gets, aham, districted during their fights. 

PART 13 <-- PART 14 --> PART 15

[PART 1]

[mdzs-is-rotting-my-brain]

I had a conversation with a friend. And based on that conversation I would just like to say

✨WEI WUXIAN DID NOTHING WRONG. EVER✨

[lesbian4lqg]

one thing i really appreciate about svsss is that with anyone else in shen yuans role?

the system's lbh mood ring points (satisfaction, heartbreak, etc) would be considered an invasion of privacy more than the whole transmigration thing already is or at least a source of valuable insight but instead

its shen yuan. if anything the mood ring reveals make him more confused

[vroomian]

Hello, what's your opinion on wwx ? Do you like him or hate him ?

Um????? Idk what you saw on my litttol blog that would indicate anything but my full love for wwx. What a protagonist, what a fool, what a man!!!

[llycaons]

It never stopped hurting, after you gave up your core. Creaking joints filled with ground glass, blood forever crusted at your nostrils. Your throat seemed lined with teeth. And you used to dream, Wei Wuxian, of someone splitting open your chest and screaming when they saw your lungs and heart blackened with something like tar but not quite, and a clutch of eyes peering back at them from the wet nest of your belly.

looking not at you but at the silk in his hand, still smiling in his quiet, jewel-like way

But you remember all your wicked tricks, don't you? And so many more besides. A head full of them, even now. Never once have you, Wei Wuxian, been idle.

You know it now: you and Lan Wangji are a circle. Without end.

I'm just in love with this fic's writing style. when you read some fics the second time they get boring but this one I think I could keep rereading for years

[tossawary]

Wei Wuxian's first meeting with teenage Jin Ling just gets funnier every time. Especially because, by this point, he should have a rough idea of how long it's been since he died, and he immediately recognizes Jin Ling as a member of the Jin Sect, clearly an important one if he's bossing other people around and spending absurd amounts of money on spiritual nets. If Wei Wuxian had spent A SINGLE MINUTE actively trying to guess this kid's identity, he probably could have worked out that this kid has a high chance of being his nephew.

But Wei Wuxian does not take the time (thirty seconds! WWX, you could have made an educated guess!) to figure out this kid's specific identity! He's just been wrestling with an incredibly stubborn donkey all day and he's probably hangry again because they had to share an apple. He just thinks to himself, "Wow, this Jin kid is a real spoiled brat," and goes from there!

"Didn't your mother ever teach you any manners?" he says obliviously to JIN LING, his own fucking nephew. When Jin Ling is FAMOUSLY ORPHANED. Like, you could go up to literally anyone on the street and be like, "What happened to that rich kid Jin Ling's parents?" and they would immediately tell you, "Oh, the evil Yiling Patriarch killed them, evilly." Very high chance that no one has ever said this particular insult to Jin Ling - extremely rich young master, most famous orphan in the cultivation world, in possession of some very scary uncles - before.

And from Jin Ling's perspective, this outrageous comment is coming from his OWN UNCLE, Mo Xuanyu, his late grandfather's bastard son who was kicked out of the sect for being gay and crazy. There is NO WAY that Mo Xuanyu could somehow not know that Jin Ling has no parents, so of course, this has to be an intentional low-blow insult bringing up and disparaging his dead mother. So, of course this brat tries to start a fight! Mo Xuanyu started it with words like that!

And then Wei Wuxian trips him and essentially sits on him (using a talisman), there's the whole "My uncle is going to kill you!" & "Who's your uncle?" exchange, and Jiang Cheng immediately interrupts them. And Wei Wuxian has to do the sudden, incredibly simple, damning mental calculation of: "Jin kid + Jiang Cheng for an uncle = Oh, fuck."

It's funny every single time.

[lavender-phoenix-flames]

Wei wuxian: the protagonists of all time

One of the many things I love about wei wuxian is that how great of a protagonist he is (quite a long post) :

Wei wuxian is introduced as a villian that gets resurrected but as the story progresses we see that he is actually a naturally heroic person, who did his best to do the right thing and survive the unfair, unjust and classist system.

He is very self aware, confident, charming, charismatic, handsome and competent. He has a very healthy self esteem, high emotional intelligence and he is a renowned genius, a prodigy. He is also amazingly observant, perceptive, a logic driven person, a quick thinker. He is so calculated in everything he does and reasonable too. He isn't impulsive or reckless rather he thinks all his actions through, considers the consequences and then takes action. He isn't oblivious either (anyone who thinks otherwise go read the book again).

Above mentioned traits are something you don't usually find in protagonists that often and it's refreshing to see a character so greatly skilled and intelligent in all ways yet so humble, sweet, kind, free spirited, full of life and selfless (selfless not self sacrificing). Usually any other character with his level of greatness would have been arrogant about it, but wwx is different. He has not only attempted the impossible but successfully achieved it, not once but multiple times, yet he knew his limits and shortcomings well, even when he was the strongest he never thought himself invincible/omnipotent, he never thought anyone above or below him.

He is so misunderstood both by the world he lives in and the fandom. Being orphaned at a young age, surviving living on the streets, being raised in a abusive household, scapegoated, backed into the farthest corner, having being into worst of situations, where his beliefs, his own life and life of his loved ones are threatened, having limited options where it is either forsake yourself or other innocent ones, he chooses the former. It isn't self sacrificial if he didn't have any other option, cuz other option is just betrayal of his self and morals.

And at the end he is just as human as any of us if not more. He has his flaws, his trauma, his sufferings, his dark days and moments where he wasn't himself but he never let it hold him back, dictate his life. He seeked revenge on those who wronged him, even in his darkest days he knew the limits of violence he can commit. Never regretted any of his actions, if he did he moved on quickly.

At the end there really isn't anyone like him, he isn't perfect but he is ideal, he is someone who we should learn from and strive to be. For me this is how an ideal protagonists should be, not only is he lovable, admirable, and deserving of immense respect, he is someone we can all be, it isn't impossible.

[lovewanxian]

All the Lan juniors (except Sizhui who is silently Suffering) have badly hidden crushes on Wei Wuxian, after all he's very pretty, very charismatic and funny and a genius. How could they not get crushes on him?

Everyone knows about the juniors' crushes .... except Wei Wuxian. Not because the juniors are good at hiding their crushes for him, even in his presence. But because Wei Wuxian is convinced the juniors are actually crushing on his husband (which they Also are but nonetheless), for why would anyone crush on him when Lan Zhan is right there?

So the following scenario is a common one to see in the cloud recesses:

Lan junior 1, staring at wwx: omg he's so beautiful!

Lan junior 2, sighing: if only he wasn't married

Wwx, overhearing and getting the wrong idea: sorry kids, Hanguang-jun is mine, and I'm not sharing! *continues on his way, oblivious to the blushing and sputtering kids he left behind*

Lwj, following wwx: *gives the juniors the Death Stare of Jealousy™️*

Or:

Wwx: its so nice to see so many young people suddenly gain an interest in talismans!

His full class of Lan juniors: *thinking very horny thoughts, twirling their hair and drawing hearts in the margins of their notes* yeah its sooo interesting when you teach it!

Wwx, thinking: they must have heard Lan Zhan was gonna be my assistant for this class!

Lwj, sitting in on class to guard his husband against the juniors: *breaks the pen in his hand*

Or:

Wwx on a nighthunt, being competent as shit and very sexy as he goes full Yiling Patriarch on the monster of the week: you guys are even more uncoordinated than usual!

The Lan juniors: *running into trees and each other, stumbling over rocks and their own weapons while too busy staring at wwx*

Lan juniors: *experiencing several near death experiences so that wwx will save them*

Wwx, thinking: I shouldn't have brought Lan Zhan with me, obviously he's too pretty for the poor juniors' attention span

Lwj: *grip on Bichen tightens*

3. Hi buddy! Thanks for the last fic recommendations...

Could you give me some fics with general Wei Wuxian? There was one particular story with him being an awesome General who cares more about his soldiers and the lives of the people he's protecting and thus deciding to surrender rather than fight fully knowing that they would not be able to win. I think him and LWJ was on opposite sides yet had respect for each other. There were some madam yu bashing though... @grrumpywoof

7. Hello there, I’m not sure if this is a fic finder or an in the mood for, because I’m looking for a fic and more like that.

So you know how theres this TikTok Sound of someone called Nick who asks for the WLAN Password and its I Love You Nick and Nick is in a lot of denial about being lovers even though their anniversary is coming up?

I found a fic that was basically WY and LZ in a relationship, and WY/LZ (but more likely WY) didn’t realise that they were anything more than friends, and it was very funny.

More comedic than anything else. But I cannot for the life of me find it, and everytime I try and search for it, only the sad version shows up.

Please send help, I need to read this fluff….I crave it. @desperation-is-my-middle-name

As I learn more and more about the characterization of mdzs, the harder it is to enjoy fanfics. As someone who entered the fandom through 'The Untamed', I have never liked JC but I was more willing to indulge the good bro JC. Then I read the book and I just can't with those types of fics (excluding fics that tell you he's ooc, then I might). It is the same with the way people write WWX to be this self-pitying, depressed fuck up. He doesn't have a hero complex, he's not depressed, he's not self-pitying, he is not impulsive or oblivious or stupid. It may be just a story but fanfiction is the place we go to, to drop a character in a situation and see how they navigate with their personality and morals. When you misrepresent a character, it takes away from the true essence of that. This is, obviously, not including stories where the characters are ooc or you purposely change something about them. I just get so excited over a plot for a fic and then I'm disappointed because the portrayal of the characters are just off. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Anyway, enough of my blabbering.

[helpmeimblorboing]

I really like imagining Nie Huaisang’s response to Jiang Cheng’s whole shtick post-WWX-death, because, you CANNOT tell me that he wouldn’t immediately draw parallels, true or not, to his own shit with Nie Mingjue.

Like I can just imagine him thinking while talking to Jiang Cheng like “You were so unwilling to accept the notion of a world where your brother was dead that you were willing to spend your entire life chasing a ghost. That’s admirable. I admire that. Maybe if I had done that, Da-ge wouldn’t have…”

And meanwhile Jiang Cheng is just seething, fully convinced that he was chasing after Wei Wuxian’s ghost because he just hated him so gosh-darn much. Like, not to stir up any debate or piss off any of the more opinionated people on this site, but I genuinely don’t think JC hated WWX as much as he, or the jianghu, thought he did.

Hate can drive a person to do many things, but I genuinely don’t think it’s possible for hate to drive a person to chase a dead man for thirteen years. Five ? Maybe. Seven is pushing it. But thirteen ? The only kind of hate powerful enough to do that is hate adulterated with at least a sprinkling of love

And I think that creates a really interesting contrast, one Nie Huaisang, who disguises his hate and grief behind walls of obliviousness, all the while drowning in regret and despair, and one Jiang Cheng, who disguises his grief and regret behind walls of hate so solid that he’s managed to fool even himself

Both of them wearing masks. Both of them pretending to be whole after the death of their sibling(s). Neither of them actually okay

On the other hand, maybe Jiang Cheng does just fully despise Wei Wuxian, which just makes the whole thing hilarious instead of melancholic. Like here Huaisang is, drawing up elaborate manuscripts of the tragic story of the Yunmeng Shuangjie, and meanwhile Jiang Cheng is just the living representation of that one neighbour who’s been pissed off at you for a full decade because you accidentally insulted her apple cobbler at a meet one time

And once again, that’s a really interesting contrast, because, Huaisang holds grudges too, but unlike Jiang Cheng, who goes around announcing his hate, Huaisang hides it behind faked incompetence and obliviousness

Either way, it’s an enjoyable experience

Wwx is sooooo oblivious it's funny. The man managed to gain a Playboys reputation dispite the fact that he probably never even held hands with a girl other then his shijie. He's been obsessed with one boy ever since laid eyes on him at the ripe age of 14. Despite being strangely fixated on said boy even after he left Cloud Recess he never seems to realize that his fixation is over the top even for him, despite multiple people telling him so. His first kiss is with said boy but he doesn't find out that it was until maybe 15 years after the kiss took place. He briefly contemplates if being attracted to men is transmissible through soul summoning ritual sacrifice. It take him nearly 9 conscious years (22 if you count that 13year long nap), one death and subsequent resurrection and the freedom of being in the body of an already out gay man to realize maybe that 9 year long fixation that he's incapable of letting go of is perhaps maybe really a crush. AND THEN it takes one drunken almost one night stand, and 3 separate people literally spelling it out in the most blunt words possible for him to realize that yes, his longtime crush did Infact like him back and yes he is the only one who didn't know.
