So relatable!! 😂🥲💔

it’s so funny that lan qiren and everyone else imagine lan zhan as that pure, virgin, virtuous man who never had one perverted thought in his life.

in reality, boy kissed the object of his affections against a tree like there’s no tomorrow, fucked him in the middle of a forest, fucked him in dreams, fucked him in a bathtub, fucked him upside down, thoroughly makes sure that ‘everyday is everyday’, probably never had one ‘virtuous’ thought ever since meeting wei wuxian instead.

This pretty much wraps up 3zun's dynamic, doesn't it

Forgot to post this a while back but uhhhh…… angst ig?

Lan jingyi speaking the unwritten rules

lives were changed~

mdzs headcanon of the day #257 !

jzx, jiang cheng, and wwx all managed to get along over their love of shitty reality tv. every family dinner they put aside their differences for a few hours to sit on the couch and watch bad reality tv

My dash did the thing

no one knows that wei wuxian was thrown in the burial mounds, right? no one actually believes that, correct? it was the first thing he brushed off when he got back, so jiang cheng and lan wangji probably think it was a misunderstanding. they didn’t think much of it, at the time. but wei wuxian really was thrown. he fought corpses, hunger, thirst, sleepiness, exhaustion and survived out of spite. it’s one of those experiences only he will know, a trauma he’ll be alone to make it heal, something to remember and kept inside and never to approach the topic again. wei wuxian’s always been like this, so that matter, although huge for the plot and devastatingly painful overall, will be forgotten. is forgotten, as he moves on.

and that’s kind of the melancholic beauty of that, isn’t it? forgetting the bad things, remembering the good, forgiving and living. like: ‘it doesn’t matter what happened to me, i’m happy now and it’s gone, so forward i go’. that’s wei wuxian, as always.

Lan Qiren: Okay class, push everything aside. We're going to sta--

Wei Wuxian: *pushes Huisang off the chair*

Wei Wuxian: *looks at everybody* W-why?

Lan Qiren: *angry* Why did you push Huisang off his chair?

Nie Huisang: Yeah, why bro?

Wei Wuxian: *innocently* You said I should push everything aside. *looks at Huisang* You're my everything bro.

Nie Huisang: BROOO

Wei Wuxian: BROOOO

*Lan Wangji getting jealous*

Jiang Cheng: Someone is drinking a bucket of vinegar. *rolls his eyes for the 54th time*

I wished to set forth my thoughts and explain my actions: I little dreamed that this would be held a crime

WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 22

The first few times you watch the soup scene in this episode, it’s hard to look past the disaster-het-ness of it all (plus the sexy-mad Wei Wuxian, obvs). But this scene also has a lot to say about my beloved Luo Qingyang a.k.a. Mianmian. Maybe you remember the central misunderstanding arising from Jiang Yanli asking a Jin servant named A-Yuan to deliver her soup to Jin Zixuan. If so, you’re remembering it wrong: Mianmian came up with that scheme, after Jiang Yanli originally tried to deliver the soup herself. Like in Mianmian’s first appearance, at the Caiyi inn, she feels bad for one of the Jiangs and so tries to go around Jin Zixuan to help out, hoping he won’t find out about it. In both instances, unfortunately, he does. (But you gotta wonder how many times she does get away with it…)

She also appears—or her shadow does—in the flashback to the confrontation between Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli, when Jin Zixuan accuses Jiang Yanli of disrespecting A-Yuan because she’s common-born. I don’t mean Mianmian’s literal shadow. I mean the shadow cast by the question: “Who taught highborn snob Jin Zixuan to recognize and call out classism?” It sure as shit wasn’t his parents. (Yes, yes, I know he was wrong about the classism in this instance, but his heart was in the right place.) I suppose he could have multiple outspoken common-born friends with a keen eye for injustice. But I doubt it. Those folks seem pretty hard to find in the cultivation world.

And Mianmian is Jin Zixuan’s friend, not just his subordinate – albeit a friend who has to curtsy every time she greets him. All of this soup backstory is only aired in the first place because Mianmian marches right into Jin Zixuan’s tent for the express purpose of explaining to him—in front of a bunch of other people—exactly how he’s made an ass of himself. And he lets her! Then—in an act of incredible bravery—she shields him with her body when Wei Wuxian attacks, even after seeing Wei Wuxian wipe the floor with six other Jin disciples just a second before. I guess you could say she does it because he’s the sect heir and she’s his subordinate (possibly head disciple? unclear. I think we all know Jin Zixun is a nepo baby). But nobody else—not even Jiang Yanli—is rushing to place their body between Jin Zixuan’s dumb ass and the terrifying weapon that is Wei Wuxian.

One last thing to love about Mianmian from the soup scene and then I promise I’m done. When Mianmian is describing Jiang Yanli’s soup gifts, she notes that the first two bowls of soup Yanli makes are for her little brothers—and when Mianmian says this, she uses the word “didi” (brother) for both Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, as opposed to using “didi” for Jiang Cheng and “shidi” (sect brother) for Wei Wuxian. That makes Mianmian, as far as I know, the first (and maybe only) person, other than Jiang Yanli herself, to call Wei Wuxian Jiang Yanli’s brother – in other words, the first and only outsider to acknowledge that Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli are truly family to one another, not just co-disciples of the same sect. In short: she’s the best.

i am so sorry
