POSSIBLE PSOILERS??? MAYBE? GOD DDDDDAYMN WHAT A WAY TO GET BACK INTO THE THEORY SCENE LMAO

SO FIRST OF ALL I’M NOT CERTAIN THIS IS RELATED TO THE BARMAN/SECOND STARS CULT QUEST I FOUND IN THE FILES AS SOME PEOPLE SUGGESTED, BUT I WILL ADMIT IT IS SUSPICIOUSLY SPECIFIC. MAINLY ABOUT A CULT AND THE FACT WE SEE A BAR HANGING OUT IN THE TRAILER, BUT HEY, I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS RIGHT NOW I AM JUST GOING TO ENJOY THIS WHILE I CAN

ANd breathe in

im okay.

i’ve watched this trailer like 15 times already oh my god it’s so good. i wasnt so hyped about the casino dlc bc, like, i already spoiled myself on it BUT THIS IS (AS FAR AS WE KNOW) UNCHARTED TERRITORY AND

IT’S TECHNICALLY A WATER PLANET

hhhhhhhhhhhh

oh ym godddd ;-;-;-;-;-;-;

it’s so fucking beautiful

i can’t

okay

we see the gun/health station under the lighthouse so it’s not really THAT big, and we can see a town in the distance. running across the ice sheets is giving me HUGE southern shelf vibes which i am in love with. this whole aesthetic is just ;w; so good

there’s a catch a ride in that town as well so we know this area is fairly big (which is confirmed in a later shot)

and oh my GOD can you imagine seeing some big ol beast lurking beneath the surface of the ice sheets hohhhh

the TOWNss oh my god im so im love with this aesthetic god. damn.it i need this injected directly into my veins like right N O W

also the bridge is going over another pool of acid, which the tentacle is coming out of. i imagine this monster was sorta acid based, which is funny. since. frozen water planet. and it’s OOZY too. oozy boy means the eridians didn’t make this one! ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Monsta X - Who owns what era?

I did BTS even though they aren’t at the very top of my list of ult groups, but do you know who is?... Monsta X and A.C.E. sO GUESS WHO IS DOING THIS WITH MONSTA X BECAUSE NOBODY IS AWAKE TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS GOING TO KILL ME? THAT’S RIGHT. ME.

This got long as fuck since they are my ult group. I can't put it behind a "keep reading" because then it gets rid of all of my colored text, I'm sorry 😭 you just have to see me going feral I guess

Hero - Lmfao I get to the very first music video and I am already discouraged because this is going to be so hard. All 7 of these boys have my entire heart. Fuck. Okay. Uh... I want to say Jooheon because this was my very first Monsta X song I ever heard, and it was because him and his red hair drew me in. But I know I will pick him for many other songs, so I am going to try to get strict. I think it has to be Changkyun for this one. His rap verse kills me every single time I hear it. It is SO...SO GOOD. He drew my attention every single time I saw it, before I even know who the boys were.

Runner up: Shownu! His vocals in this song are put out there for all to see, and they really are so beautiful. His high notes are so pretty, his REGULAR notes are so pretty. Astounding.

Jealousy - I am trying not to pick Jooheon for every single era. This one goes to Wonho, he KILLED the vibe of this song. He looked amazing in the video. He made my heart race because we all know how jealous he can really be.

Runner up: JOOHEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON. The growls and snarls and the enunciation of his words? I’m horny for Jooheon it’s not a fucking secret alright? but also Kihyun’s vocal runs in the background? Beat my ass vocal king

Shoot Out - OKAY IT’S JOOHEON. Orange hair, muzzle, the suits they put him in, the verses, a god, A GOD, A GOD--

Runner up: I think Hyungwon is incredibly overlooked in this. He looks like a fucking KING on that throne. I would be terrified to oppose him. Changkyun looks hot af too and his verse is fire. I will never pick only one runner up when it comes to MX you’re gonna have to prepare for that rkjdfngfnd

Versace On The Floor cover - Listen... I know it’s just a cover but... It isn’t going to stop me for including it because we CANNOT OVERLOOK.... JOOHEON’S VOCALS. JOOHEON. HIS VOCALS. HIS EXPRESSIONS. THE WAY HE IS STILL RELAXED WHILE HITTING THOSE NOTES. I’m sweating. Again.

Runner up: ... The way Minhyuk moves his body to this song.... is a fucking sin. I hate you Minhyuk, I don’t deserve this. Also Shownu’s lyrics and outfit? Stunning.

Tresspass - I think it has to go to Shownu. His dancing here is phenomenal, his vocals once again are AMAZING and he looks g o o d in ballcaps

Runner up: Honestly I had to really think about this and I think Minhyuk! He looked amazing in the mv, he had a lot of charisma, I was incredibly drawn to him

Rush - Idk man... Shownu or Hyungwon? Shownu is just so cute in the music video lmao. But Hyungwon’s vocals AND charisma are amazing here to me, so probably Hyungwon~

Runner up: Kihyun looks so good are you kidding me? Stop, rewind, pause, observe.

Middle Of The Night - I have to give this one to Changkyun or Hyungwon. Their voices were MADE for this song. Vocal Hyungwon SHINING THROUGH. I think I will give it to Changkyun though

Runner up: Kihyun. Because we are “kithing” in the car. But also Jooheon because the “Back to our own ways in the middle of the night” he does at the end of the song really fires up my oven.

Who Do U Love? - Me, trying not to let my hormones take control and say Jooheon: I think it-- Fuck I can’t do it, it’s Jooheon

Runner up: LITERALLY ALL OF THE REST OF THEM. Wonho? oh my god. Minhyuk? Fuck. Kihyun? Hhhhhhh. Shownu? aaaaaaaAAAAAAA. Changkyun? reeeeeeee. Hyungwon in black hair? please end my misery. I don’t fucking know who I love alright? leave me alone

Play It Cool - Finally, Kihyun’s much deserved throne. His beautiful voice was so, so good with this. It’s always good tbh. He deserves the world

Runner up: Jooheon, for obvious horndog reasons, and Hyungwon, also for horndog reasons.

X-Phenomenon - Lmfao it’s Jooheon again I am sorry, he is just too attractive sounding and looking in this music video. I really am only finding out how much of a filthy sl*t I am for Jooheon right now.

Runner up: Changkyun lookin’ and soundin’ real hot.

Livin’ It Up - Minhyuk, it is finally your time! Step up, king. You slayed this song. Your vocals? Gorgeous. Please accept this forehead kiss as an award.

Runner up: *Pretending Jooheon doesn’t exist* It’s Hyungwon. Witness him. Witness his vocals. Also I would put Shownu here but I hate that super baggy button up shirt he is wearing with a passion.

Follow - WONHO, TAKE YOUR THRONE! I got to hear his voice crystal clear in this song, he looked AMAZING in the video, his charisma was FIRE. I have this thing where my brain protects me from the pretty boys of groups because I know they will absolutely destroy me. So people like Wonho, Jaehyun, Jungkook, don’t affect me. Eventually they all break down my walls though, and Wonho has done that recently. I’m sorry I didn’t appreciate you sooner, my angel. Come back soon.

Runner up: TIKKI TAKKA, TIKKI TAKKA, TAKKA. But also Hyungwon lookin’ really good doing that dance... damn.

Alligator - Ah... We had to come to this song sooner or later... Listen, Jooheon. It’s Jooheon. The black hair, the black clothes and that trenchcoat, the bat on fire, the duality of his rapping, the snarls, genuinely I cannot handle it and I cannot choose anybody else I am SORRY.

Runner up: Wonho is SO beautiful in this mv. He does an amazing job, he deserves his props. But also Kihyun makes me sweat in this mv. And then he has the nerve to switch it up and wear glasses and have sweater paws. Filth.

Stuck - WONHOOOOOOO. Listen... The blonde hair, the choker, the possessed demon head roll thing, I mean come on... For once I don’t have to struggle to look past Jooheon

Runner up: Absolutely Kihyun. He looks amazing with the undercut what can I say. Also in all black? Fuck. He out here showing some skin from those pants too eye---

Beautiful - I think Minhyuk takes this one! And no it isn’t because red hair is my weakness and his promo pictures for the comeback murdered me... Though those factor in ldfjfdkhgufdh. Do you hear his voice in this song???? It’s so light and sweet, just like him. I can’t get enough.

Runner up: Wonho! He really pulls off blonde somehow??? And the blue suit? And his voice paired with it? Pure. Bliss. Kihyun as well, his vocals hit deep in my soul. And he looked SO handsome here.

Someone’s Someone - Wonho. “We all wanna be someone’s someone, Someone we can’t live without” I found out the hard way that I can’t live without Wonho lmao. Nooo don’t leave Monsta X, you’re so sexy haha ;) ... *Quiet crying*

Runner up: Kihyun again! Vocal angel. Handsome gentleman. Want to kiss him forehead.

Gone Bad - I know it’s a B track but it has a music video technically so you can’t fault me. This one goes to Kihyun too! He looks amazing, he sounds amazing, his Charisma for filming self-cam music videos is sexy, what can I say?

Runner up: I want to **** Jooheon’s ********

Unfair Love - This one goes to Minhyuk, our soft and sweet boy. He looks beautiful here and he sounds beautiful here and he really does deserve more love. I think people should go listen to his covers and osts.

Runner up: I’m in love with you Shownu

Need U - Another absolute BOP of a B side. Sorry this goes to Jooheon too, his soft loving verse stole my heart and I’d die for him on sight

Runner up: Wonho, Minhyuk or Changkyun? Honestly everyone did SO well on this song it is hard to choose. Every member’s vocals stand out and are so beautiful

Tropical Night - Changkyun! I forgot the word for the noises you make in the background that don’t mean anything because it is 12am and I am exhausted, but those are sexy. And his verse is sexy too. It’s amazing. I am a little delirious right now. I’m so tired lmfao

Runner up: Ignoring the fact that Jooheon has white hair and I want to go feral, I will go with Kihyun, because I am ALSO going feral over him, but his voice is really pretty too. Where am I? What year is it

Special - ... Jooheon said he feels good when he feels me. He also said “brrrt, brrrt, HAH” and I think that’s so beautiful

Runner up: Changkyun has black fingernails CHANGKYUN HAS BLACK FINGERNAILS-- Also Minhyuk’s vocals??? Wonho’s vocals??? Kihyun’s vocals??? wowwie zowwie

Breathe For You - I'm tempted to pick Wonho just because of how cute he is in the music video soxjdjd but I have to pick Jooheon again because of how he told me he's falling in love and bitch, me too, tf?

Runner up: Kihyun vocal legend, bow down to his feet

Perfect Girl - *shields Wonho from my line of sight with my hand* this one goes to Kihyun, he sounds so pretty the whole time and his voice is the only one I can focus on here

Runner up: Jooheon because every time I hear this song I remember him standing on stage and forgetting the lyrics because the members confused him by singing with him, and the way he waves his hand to stop them from teasing him before he quickly starts rapping again makes me cry

Okay I could keep going but I am going to black out on the floor now goodnight

恭喜发财! Hhhhhhh I love this au and I found it on ao3 so... What about lxc going through qi deviation (case I'm p sure that's what's happening) and how the people discover lwj's missing core and jgy's betrayal Also YanLi engineering everything like nhs is beautiful I always knew she could do that And the angel of death is Wen Qing so is Wen Ning dead like wq was?

The day Wei Wuxian woke up with a supposedly new golden core, Lan Xichen had known something was wrong. His brother had seemed even more subdued after that, almost like a blank slate. Lan Xichen has also read the treatises by Wen Qing on the subject. He can connect the dots himself.

Lan Xichen lost his brother that day, and he’s been trying to find him ever since.

The flight from Koi Towers is almost panicked. Lan Wangji seems unsteady on Bichen, as if the shadows around him are having a reaction to the blade’s pure light and consequently barely keeping him aloft.

“Lan Zhan, are you sure you can keep doing this?” asks Wei Wuxian, extending a hand. Lan Wangji’s eyes flash defiant red, and he continues forward, his teeth gritted and expression resolute.

Wei Wuxian retracts his hand. Lan Wangji’s resentful energy tends to manifest like this – in a strong wave of determination to prove the world wrong. Bichen wavers below his feet, but the Master of Shadows presses on regardless, uncaring of the dangers associated with flying a sword he doesn’t have full spiritual control over.

But how could that be? Doesn’t he still have a core?

Wei Wuxian can’t help but ponder it even as they finally land on the cobbled streets of a small, familiar town. Up ahead, a tea-house stands, and Wei Wuxian is reminded of an afternoon amid the weiqi tiles as he looks up at the well-lit facade.

Lan Wangji sweeps through the door without hesitation. The innkeeper quickly directs him to their usual room. It’s almost as if he’d never vanished.

“Lan Zhan, you have to explain this to me at some point,” Wei Wuxian protests. “I’m very clever, I know I can handle whatever you throw at me, but I still need some clues in order to solve what’s going on.”

Lan Wangji throws himself down onto the floor in the lotus position. “What do you wish to know,” he states flatly, his eyes still vermilion. Wei Wuxian hates how hard his voice sounds.

“Bichen. You were able to unlock it and wield it, even fly on it. But you didn’t use Bichen at all before… you know.” Before my death.

“The Stygian Blade allowed me to fly,” replies Lan Wangji. An object of resentful energy. Of course. Like calls upon like, in a way.

“But you still couldn’t control it when you wielded it,” says Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji shakes his head. “I had not fully mastered it,” he agrees, and the crimson seeps out of his gaze, until all that’s left is familiar, warm topaz.

“How is Bichen, then?” Wei Wuxian asks.

“I cannot sustain it,” replies Lan Wangji, hanging his head. “I lack… some things.”

“A core?”

Lan Wangji says nothing. Wei Wuxian reaches forward, touching his hand.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one anymore,” he says. “I’m still here, aren’t I?”

Lan Wangji nods. “Mm.”

“You told him about the Angel of Death, correct?” Lan Xichen asks Lan Jingyi, as they return to the banquet hall. The mood of the people assembled is sombre, subdued: the death of Madam Qin lingers first and foremost in people’s minds.

They watch the stretcher float past in the arms of four teary-eyed servants. A lifeless arm dangles from a ghostly shroud. Lan Jingyi nods, eyes riveted on the arm’s golden bangles.

Lan Xichen smiles. “Then all we have to do is wait,” he replies, patting Lan Jingyi on the shoulder. “You did well.”

Lan Jingyi inclines his head and smiles, though inside him a storm is brewing.

They find a familiar face in the tea house the morning after. Wen Ning, who had led the evacuation of the settlement prior to the siege of the Burial Mounds, places a jade token on the table before them. “I – I need to rescue my sister,” he says without preamble. “I heard she was being kept somewhere in the Cloud Recesses, and I know you two can help me.” His face is nervous, but determined. Wei Wuxian pats his hand, holds the token to the light.

“Access to some parts of the Cloud Recesses may still be forbidden with that,” Lan Wangji points out. ‘Some parts’ would definitely include the rooms where Wen Qing is being kept. Wei Wuxian tosses the token and catches it with a grin.

“We’ll be careful,” he says. “Have you perhaps tried summoning her?”

Lan Wangji nods, strumming thoughtfully at his guqin. In the distance, the leaves sway, as if tossed by a whispering spirit. “The ropes that bind her are meant to trap high-level demonic creatures, even dark deities and spirits. They will only answer to the one who wove them.”

“Jingyi,” says Wei Wuxian, snapping his fingers. “He was testing nets for your brother on Dafan Mountain!”

“We shall have to see if they can be cut down by a higher-level blade,” replies Lan Wangji. Almost as if in agreement, Bichen twinkles at his side. It’s as if they had never been parted to begin with.

“My deepest apologies for the abrupt end to these festivities,” Jin Guangyao tells Lan Xichen, as the entourage from Gusu prepares to depart for the Cloud Recesses.

“It was no trouble,” says Lan Xichen smoothly. “I only regret not being able to celebrate your brother-in-law’s return for as long as he deserves.”

“Some other time, then,” says Jin Guangyao, sweeping into a low bow. “Have the inquiries been of much help?”

A murmur rises amongst the other cultivators, but at a glance from Lan Jingyi they subside, shamefaced. Lan Xichen’s smile widens.

“He came here, did he not?” he wonders. “He cannot keep running like this. All prodigal sons must eventually return home.”

“I wish you all the best,” replies Jin Guangyao. Lan Xichen nods, and leads the delegation away.

It’s been years since Wei Wuxian last set foot in the Cloud Recesses, and it seems that in the time since, the number of rules has increased exponentially.

The halls are as silent as he remembers, but emptier than usual – many of the disciples must be away in Lanling for the feast. Guilt cuts through Wei Wuxian at that, since that feast had been held in his honour, but he steels himself and tiptoes on after Lan Wangji’s shadowy footsteps.

“I’ve never been here,” Wen Ning murmurs, as they walk down another deserted corridor. Wei Wuxian distantly remembers Lan Wangji’s bedroom being here, somewhere. Sure enough, Lan Wangji stops before one of the doorways, staring at the entrance for a long moment before quietly pushing the door aside and entering the room.

At first glance, it appears that the room had been preserved, as if Lan Xichen had hoped his brother would return. But then on closer inspection, Wei Wuxian notices the papers scattered on a low table, the faint smudges of numerous arrays traced into the floor.

“Musical scores,” he remarks, looking through the papers. He frowns as he reads the title. “Demonic Inquiry?”

Lan Wangji’s brows furrow harder. He swipes the sheets away from Wei Wuxian, tucking it into his robes. After a final look-around, he sweeps out of the room without a backwards glance.

Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning have to jog to keep up with him. “Where are we going now?” Wei Wuxian asks, as they pass through more corridors, into parts of the Cloud Recesses he had never visited before.

“My mother’s cabin,” says Lan Wangji tersely, just as he stops in front of a small wooden house, guarded by two white-clad cultivators. Their eyes widen in recognition, but before they can draw their weapons, Lan Wangji has already swiped Bichen at them and slammed them back into the cabin walls, knocking them unconscious.

Wei Wuxian pilfers the keys from the guards’ belts and unlocks the door.

“Sect Leader?” one of the disciples asks, halfway back to the Cloud Recesses. “There’s been an unauthorised entry into the cabin.”

Lan Xichen says nothing, only speeds up Shuoyue. Lan Jingyi follows swiftly behind, already fearing the worst.

Sure enough, when they return to the Cloud Recesses they are just in time to see four shadowy figures slip out of the cabin. The guards posted out front have been silenced, tied up with the silvery ropes that had previously bound the Angel of Death. Lan Xichen steps off his sword, Shuoyue flying into his hand immediately. “Wangji!” he shouts, towards the last of the dark figures slipping into the night.

“Brother,” replies Lan Wangji, and Bichen meets Shuoyue’s glare.

“It’s a miracle Bichen still bows to your will,” sneers Lan Xichen. “After all that you have done to stain it, it still recognises you as its master.” His gaze slips towards the retreating form of Wei Wuxian as well. “Jingyi, don’t let the others get away.”

Lan Jingyi takes off after the others. Wei Wuxian immediately shoves one of the figures towards the other. “Wen Qing, take him and run,” he hisses. “Don’t stop, no matter what.”

“We can help you!” protests the young man he’d pushed.

“No,” insists Wei Wuxian, shaking his head. “Lan Zhan can’t afford Wen Qing going feral again. Get out of here.”

The two of them – fierce corpse and human – look at one another, before the Angel of Death clasps the young man tight in his arms and takes off. Lan Jingyi makes to hop onto his sword, but Wei Wuxian points Suibian at him.

“I don’t want to do this,” he warns.

“Neither do I,” adds Lan Xichen, Shuoyue still deadlocked with Bichen. “But neither of us have a choice in the matter, do we?”

“You have choices,” insists Wei Wuxian. “All these paths ahead of you, Zewu-jun, and you stepped onto the narrow bridge of revenge. How does that make you any different from Hanguang-jun?”

“One of us didn’t create a monster that killed our uncle,” spits Lan Xichen.

“Even the best of humans can slip up and harm others,” Wei Wuxian points out. “If that’s your definition of a monster, then… aren’t we all?”

Lan Xichen suddenly feels the ground wobble, feels his vision split with the anger and resentment festering deep within him. There’s his brother, blade at the ready – but then there he is again – and again –

Where is he? Why is he everywhere?

“Wangji! Is this another one of your tricks?!” bellows Lan Xichen, slashing blindly at the infinite reiterations of his brother. “Or is this from Master Wei?”

The only thing he hears is laughter, mocking and cold, echoing from his brother’s throat in an unnatural pitch and timbre. “Wangji!” Lan Xichen stabs forward, Shuoyue cutting through air no matter where he thrusts. “I told you – I told you all those years ago that boy would be your ruin! Now look at you!”

Wangji – brother – Zhanzhan – come home, come home already!

“Da-ge, when is Mama coming back?” Six-year-old Lan Zhan asks him, tugging at his sleeve. Lan Xichen looks down at him, falls deeper into those innocent honey eyes.

“Mama is gone now, Zhanzhan,” he says.

“But Mama will come back, won’t she?” Lan Zhan sucks at his thumb, a little uncertain habit Uncle is still trying to beat out of him. “I want to wait for Mama to come back.”

Lan Xichen could never break his didi’s heart like that. “Okay,” he concedes. “Let’s go wait for Mama.”

The cabin is quiet, the scent of their mother already fading with her death. Lan Zhan sits down in the antechamber, quiet and small, patiently waiting.

“Brother, I have a predicament,” says Lan Zhan, years later on a sunny afternoon, his long hair peppered with scattered scraps of paper.

“What is it?” asks Lan Xichen, plucking one of the papers from his shoulder. Lan Zhan sighs, sinking down under the shade of the tree, looking down at the valley where the other boys are playing.

“Wei Wuxian from Yunmeng,” he says, “is the most impertinent, callous, rambunctious, disrespectful –”

Lan Xichen chuckles, holding up a hand. “I understand, brother,” he says. “It is interesting, is it not, to experience feelings you had not felt before?”

Lan Zhan takes a deep, calming breath. “I cannot stand him,” he says after a moment. “I do not understand why I am so angered by his very presence.”

“He is antithetical to everything you have worked for,” replies Lan Xichen, “and yet, to seek true knowledge, you must understand those who are at complete odds with yourself. Such is the union of thesis and antithesis.”

“En,” agrees Lan Wangji, though his expression seems pained. Yet to anyone else except Lan Xichen, it would’ve appeared nothing on his face had changed at all.

“Why are you reading Wen Qing’s treatises on core transference?” asks Lan Xichen a couple years after that, as the candles burn low around Lan Wangji’s desk in the Library Pavilion. “It is well past curfew.”

“I have to save him,” says Lan Wangji. “I have to give him his core back.”

“That is impossible,” says Lan Xichen, rubbing at his eyes. “Brother, it’s late. If Uncle catches you –”

Lan Wangji closes the book with a snap. “The motto of the Yunmeng Jiang family is to dare to attempt the impossible,” he states. “I must keep trying.”

And that had been the last time Lan Xichen ever spoke to his brother again.

“Wangji –” gasps Lan Xichen, stumbling to his knees, his sword dropping onto the grass. The echoes of his brother’s face fade from around him, leaving only the one just a couple feet away, Bichen shining bright against his dark robes.

Slowly, Lan Wangji begins to back away, hesitant. Lan Xichen’s anger returns at a boil.

“Jingyi, what did I tell you?” he demands. Startled, Lan Jingyi lunges forward, but Wei Wuxian throws himself into his path, taking the blow once again. Lan Wangji’s eyes widen; he catches Wei Wuxian easily in his arms, before trying to leap onto Bichen to escape.

It doesn’t work. He’s not spiritually strong enough.

Sensing an opportunity, Lan Xichen reaches to grab him. But Lan Wangji’s eyes suddenly flash red, resentful shadows swirling around him in a frenzied whirl.

And then, in the blink of an eye, he vanishes, with drops of blood the only thing that suggested he’d even been there in the first place.
