fellas is it gay to prank the guy whose calm jade exterior inexplicably only turns to rage around you by using a gift of a hand drawn portrait of him (made while you were supposed to be copying text as punishment) as a distraction to slip gay porn in with his academic scrolls. and you’re both boys.

do not associate with evil

i also really like the fact that wei wuxian is both book-smart and street smart because usually authors tend to show one trait heavier than the other (which is fair) but i like how mxtx never shied away from showing how intelligent, ingenious and and aware a person wei wuxian is. like he canonically wrote a dissertation (which we can reliably believe to not be his only one) but he’s also extremely good at navigating investigations, knowing the climate of a locality based on the people, knowing how to be smart with words to get what he wants. and this kind of thing can get annoying sometimes if the writing doesn’t handle it well but it never feels forced with wei wuxian because his in-universe charisma is transcendental, jumping right off the page and making you believe that yeah, of course this guy is just that smart!

You know what I’m actually not done ranting bc the danmei fandoms on tiktok keep driving me fucking nuts. This rant’s topic is the godawful ”lan wangji would burn the world for wei wuxian” type edits i see on tiktok and i want to scream and bite everytime i see one and not for a good reason. Like did you miss the part of the book where when wwx died lwj took all that love and grief that he had for him and used it to actually better the world? He loved wwx so much that he not only raised the son wwx left behind but also became a teacher and a role model for the other juniors across clans so that he could teach them the values wwx taught him and the values the world lacked and that caused wwx to be driven to death essentially. He wanted the next generation (of lans especially) to not blindly believe in authority figures, to not believe rumors and to question things and think for themselves so that no one would have to be scorned for protecting ppl like wwx was. Lwj loved wwx so much that he gained a reputation for ”being where the chaos is” bc he wanted to help the less fortunate like wwx wanted to, knowing that the big clans often only help richer ppl who can pay for their services.

If lwj wanted to burn the world don’t you think he would’ve done it when wwx actually did die in the story? But see how he didn’t do that? Instead he used the love he had for wwx to transform the world into a better place, bc it was a world wwx loved and a world he arguably died defending. Wwx loved the world & the ppl in it sm that he died standing up for what he knew was right and not budging even when he was pushed to his utter limits. Knowing all of that, do you think lwj could burn down the world? Do you think wwx would want him to? No i didn’t think so.

Also also ppl have got to stop saying that lwj ”waited” for wwx and erasing the actual tragedy of their story which is that wwx wasn’t just gone, he died. He died and he wasn’t coming back and lwj knew that. He didn’t look for him for all of those years (idk where that idea came from) nor was he waiting around for wwx to come back. It was sheer dumb luck and some amount of evil scheming that brought wwx back but let’s not kid ourselves when we say there were a lot of moving pieces in that plan and absolutely 0 guarantee that wwx would succesfully come back to life.

And.... this is the most important part of the whole story, really...

... it worked.

The next generation IS better. The next generation IS kinder, and more accepting, and more thoughtful, quicker to extend compassion, slower to turn to the sword, more mindful of gossip and less credulous.

It worked.

And WWX got to see the better world that he and LWJ made. He gets to be part of it now, traveling and teaching with his beloved, together.
