post-war Wei Wuxian choosing to hang out with reanimated corpses because he no longer feels like he belongs with the living, because he bears the responsibility for the destruction of his clan, because he has given up his golden core, because he has survived unknown horrors through unknown means, because the only thing that kept him going was revenge and now that that’s done, why is he even here? the only people he occasionally chooses to interact with are his siblings and Lan Wangji and only because they allow him a glimpse of how things used to be, of who he used to be, before the trauma of his self sacrifice, before the horrors of the Burial Mounds, before the depravity of his own acts of revenge, for which he is both lauded and hated in equal measure, but which have cemented the death of who he was just a few short months ago. but both LWJ and JC keep asking him to go back to being the person he can no longer be, and it’s not like he can talk to anyone about what he’s going through, so it’s better to be alone with nefarious creatures who are as damaged as him.

sue me for this but xie lian is such an unreliable narrator. Not because his perspective is messy like wwx, or that his memory is a little bad, oh nooo. But because this guy lies to everyone so hard he lies in his own narrative. Book one he's like "yeah I know a whole bunch about fangxin randomly, I used to collect scraps in banyue haha" and book two he literally goes "oh yes lang qianqiu I stabbed your father in the fucking heart out of pure vengeance, actually I stabbed your entire family in the heart. Every last damn throat? Cut by me. You think you can fight me and win? Boy, I was one member away from bringing down your whole ass dynasty in a single night and that member is you, do you honestly think you're any match for me?"

...why. why so unhinged.

I’m only slightly unhinged, I swear.

going a bit nuts over the first interaction between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji upon his return from the Burial Mounds.

aside: i’m assuming that Lan Wangji acquired the title Hanguang Jun during the Sunshot Campaign (i don’t recall this being explicitly stated but it seems to make sense??), so it would have to have happened during the three months that Wei Wuxian was missing. and when he returns, he tells JC that he investigated and learned that he and JYL were well before going on his revenge path. but he addresses LWJ as Hanguang-Jun, revealing that he’s also checked in on him.

but to my point:

when LWJ refers to him as “Wei Ying,” it implies a closeness or intimacy after everything they’d shared and been through, even upon seeing him like this!! that’s a lot for LWJ! but when WWX, who has called him “Lan Zhan” even when it wasn’t appropriate and kept pushing for them to be friends all these years, suddenly calls him by the respectful honorific “Hanguang-Jun,” it’s a direct “fuck off, we are not friends.” and i think this is an intentional distancing from someone he cares about, someone whose opinion he values but whose affection he simply can’t bear at this time bc he’s overflowing with pain and grief and guilt and hate. and this has to be just as jarring for poor LWJ as seeing him like this in the first place.

then, when LWJ confronts him about his methods and WWX is clearly annoyed, he challenges him with basically a “wtf are you gonna do about it?”, before jumping to an obviously disingenuous “Lan Zhan”, coldly mocking LWJ’s belief in their friendship. (“We’ve just been reunited after so long […] That’s not nice, is it?” is enough to give you whiplash after the initial response.)

when LWJ doesn’t budge, WWX takes it a step further, imitating JC’s address of “Lan-er-gonzi”, again in a subtly mocking way. LWJ calls him “Wei Ying” once more, still trying to reach out, until WWX says his well-being is none of LWJ’s business.

at this point, LWJ loses his cool and yells “Wei Wuxian” to be met with an equally angry “Lan Wangji!” and this last outburst is basically LWJ conceding and taking a step back, allowing the distance between them bc WWX won’t let him near.

the way they say each others names says more about the conversation they’re having than the actual words they’re using, and i’m losing my mind about it.

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

Listen it wasn’t the most baffling thing in the world when Netflix canceled Lockwood and co even tho it performed well bc let’s be real, Netflix will basically cancel a show if it breathes wrong…

But do you think that Netflix actually canceled Lockwood and co bc around the time it aired they’d aquired the rights to dead boy detectives (a show with a competingly similar premise to Lockwood and co that has Neil Gaiman attached who’s had two very successful shows in the last few years with Netflix and Amazon prime)… because I do.

Like to me that’s the missing puzzle piece of what happened there

[lejay-the-impossible]

When we're looking at why Wei Wuxian took so long to even consider that Lan Wangji might really like him, I think we should maybe place more weight on that time when they were trapped in a cave together at around age eighteen, and Lan Wangji told him his dad was dying and started to cry and Wei Wuxian was like SHIT and fidgeted awkwardly for a while like ahhhhh I hate when people cry especially men what do I do????

And then he tried to find something to say and Lan Wangji was like 'shut up' and he shut up, and Lan Wangji said 'you're a loathsome person' and he shut up so hard he left him alone for three entire days.

Like if I spent three days trapped in hell with someone, restraining myself from reaching out for human interaction because not subjecting them to my personality was literally the only thing I could do to help with their state of misery.

I would have a real hard time letting go of the understanding that the thing this person wanted from me was not to have to deal with me.
