Can we please remember that Wei Wuxian was a Genius? Like. No. Really, Can I please list his accomplishments?

He is the master of the six arts, a prodigy of cultivation.

He is the son of a servant, an orphan with nothing to his name and the fourth most eligible bachelor. Like, everyone else on the list is literal sect heirs.

He creates a whole new form of cultivation. Can we remember the circumstances he was in? He lost his entire home, ripped his golden core out to save his suicidal sworn-brother/sect-leader/complicated martial relation/whatever Jiang Cheng is to him, and then gets thrown into what is literally hell on earth in-universe. Like, Wen Chao was afraid that he was going to return as a fierce corpse if he just killed him; that's why he threw him in there. And this Guy just waltzes out, three months later, leading the fucking corpses.

He creates the Stygian Tiger Seal, which is practically why they won the war. Like. He changed the entire tide of the war. Because fuck limitations.

He does all this while dealing with severe trauma.

He makes the burial mounds livable. like, the cultivation sects couldn't purify this place for centuries, even the Wen Sect could only seal it, and he's like, hold my Emperor's Smile.

The only thing that could kill WWX is himself. This is canonical and I take no argument.

Also, Let's be clear. Fuck the "Wei Wuxian's canonical self-esteem issues" tag. He is confident, bordering often on arrogance. He gives no fucks. He does not help others because "oh I am expendable and not worthy of life" oh fuck no. No. This Amazing man does it purely and only because it is the right fucking thing to do. He is a morally righteous man who protects the innocent at great risk to himself. He doesn't let others walk all over him. He fights back and has no patience for morons.

Honestly, the fact that he won't hurt the innocent is probably why the cultivation world didn't burn. Like, can you imagine JC or JGY or XY or WRH in his position, with his power, putting up with that shit? WWX's morality is the vice the cultivation society had against him, and the jins use it perfectly.

Like. he realises the danger of the seal and destroys it. He pays for his mistakes and accepts the consequences. He realises the seal is a dangerous mistake and sets about to correct it, even at the cost of his life.

WWX also always, always looks into the future and lives in the present, and even when he thinks of the past he tries to remember only the good things. He doesn't think of what could have been and lives without regret in his actions. He regrets the consequences of those actions, but he accepts that those actions were what he'd inevitably do in situations like that.

In conclusion, WWX is a BAMF genius who does the hard thing because it is the right thing, and I hope all the 'oblivious WWX' 'WWX's self-esteem issues' tags burn in hell.
