In your lights out!au when Eddie wakes up, how did Frank feel? Was he happy? Relieved? Were they a thing before everyone went to sleep, or did they realize they had feelings for each other afterwards?

I hope this hasn't been asked before! I'm just really curious

i'm thinking that before everything went dark, they were getting there. nothing was said aloud, but they were both having Mutual Feelings and Charged Moments that neither could ignore

just because i think it'd interesting if when Eddie wakes up, it's like no time at all passed. he walked Frank home just last "night". but it's been years for Frank - they have to reestablish where they had been with the added facets how time has worn on Frank. among other things

#and they only get like 5-6 months to figure their shit out!#thankfully for the both of them frank is less inclined to keep up pretenses. he becomes a bit of a go-getter #cause he's like 'well its been years. im tired & im dying. fuck it we ball'#its that class The Apocalypse Speeds Up Relationship Development thing #not drastically! it still takes them a good couple of months #this is actually why i had eddie wake up before julie #i wanted him and frank to have Some time together #5-6 months isnt half bad i think. sorta #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #to make a long story short #feelings were realized but not shared pre-dark #and post-dark they're shared and somewhat established #how established can you be in their situation!#as for how frank felt... A Confusing Tangle Of Emotions #too complicated to write out here really

#deltarune #suselle #suselle studies #to make a long story short #shipping discourse sucks due to we're all a bunch of stupid teenagers or emotionally stunted adults #and we need to have empathy for each other #and seperate our perceptions of fiction from our sense of self and sense of reality

Hello!

I wanted your opinion on something. According to the novel, I can't see anywhere that confirms that LWJ burnt paper money for WWX. I find it a bit odd he didn't if that's the case.

Am I missing something? Was there an underlying reason why he didn't do this for WWX? He literally did so many other things to honour and remember WWX, I just found it a bit odd. Probably overthinking things as usual!

Well anon, there’s nothing that confirms that Lan Wangji burnt paper money for Wei Wuxian, but also there is some indication that he is not telling Wei Wuxian all of the truth about the things he did when he was grieving him. Wei Wuxian never actually does get a straight answer to his question. Whether or not he did is actually up for debate and will likely never be answered.

In answer to your other question, it’s rather a complex answer. Part of it is likely that Lan Wangji is a very private person who doesn’t like it when others dig into his affairs. All of his mourning for Wei Wuxian would therefore be done privately where others couldn’t see it. My research suggested that most times when paper money is burned is at festival times.

Part of it is probably because he was pretty much the only person willing to let Wei Wuxian be content in death. He doesn’t chase his spirit, he doesn’t curse his name, he doesn’t come up with schemes to summon him back from the living world. Wei Wuxian might have appreciated the paper money or he might have been angry that people were interrupting him.

Part of it is probably that Lan Wangji finds more value in moving forwards while holding the past in his heart. Buying Emperor’s Smile and hiding it under his floorboards is about as far as it seems to go and it’s still not like he has a lot of it. Wei Wuxian suggests about eight bottles of it, so it’s not even one for every year he was dead. While I don’t doubt that there were times he missed Wei Wuxian greatly and the grief was deeper, it seems to not regularly drag him down. Burning paper money seems to be more of a ritual for those grieving a fresh loss. By the time Wei Wuxian comes back to life, it has been thirteen years.

Part of it is that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were young even by our standards when Wei Wuxian died and I’m sure that Lan Wangji wild rather fix his gaze forwards on making a world where the events that led to Wei Wuxian’s death can’t occur again. He is changing his sect little by little, working with the juniors and teaching them to be open-minded, righteous and fair. He may not dwell much on Wei Wuxian in that he has a lot to occupy his time and while he definitely still mourned for him and still loves him just as deeply, he has moved forwards in his life and may not need the rituals to keep himself grounded in this world. Wei Wuxian is gone, but A-Yuan is still here, the child that he gave his life to protect. That alone would be a fulfilling journey and something that would make Wei Wuxian happy.

It’s difficult to remember both in the grounded world of Modaozushi and the relative lack of interest that most people in universe have in cultivating to immortality, but we do get indications that it is possible. Baoshan-Sanren is believed to have attained it. At fifty, Wen Ruohan looked barely twenty. Lan Wangji is probably no different. His cultivation is powerful enough that he fights through two zombie sieges, Jiang Cheng, an adventure in Yunping, a very terrible and then fantastic night in the Guanyin Temple and then deflowers Wei Wuxian on the side of the road with no sleep in more that two days. He clearly has reached a level beyond most cultivators at least. Barring fatal injury or severe illness, he could live for hundreds of years even assuming he doesn’t reach immortality. He will have a long time to see the world change and nudge it with his hand. In addition this is a world in which reincarnation could be possible. He may not be seeking out a world with a reincarnated Wei Wuxian, but still laying the foundations of a world that would accept him as he was. Perhaps later on down the line when memory began to fade and all he had left was ritual to hold those close, he might have burned money then.

We shall never know.

It should also be noted that the burned paper money goes to a bank in the afterlife. Wei Wuxian did not actually move on to the afterlife, he was a wandering ghost out in the world. It is entirely possible that Lan Wangji burned an emperor’s fortune for him and because Wei Wuxian had not passed onto the afterlife it was not available to him. Whatever the answer may be, it seems that it didn’t matter enough to Wei Wuxian for him to get it or MXTX to tell us on screen.

Is it overthinking things? Maybe a little, but it is fun to puzzle out the whats and whys of such things. There is an answer, Wei Wuxian nearly pulls it out of him in Drunkji 2, but it simply does not actually matter enough to the story that we see it. It’s just an interesting detail.

: ~ 🌱🍄࿔･🌿

Hallo ^.^ nice to meet you!!! ˚ ༘ .🍃˚୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ

I'm Vin / Vince (tmasc-enby; nameself pronouns), an eighteen year old fanfic writer on Ao3! I'm also a second-year uni student majoring in psych (because of course I am). I'm still pretty new to Tumblr, so I've really just been posting some random thoughts of mine while I either work on fics or Ponder(TM) and try to figure out how everyone does things on here.

Some of the medias I currently write for are Stardew Valley, Genshin Impact, & I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. I'm also a pretty big fan of Hades, Monster Prom, Blooming Panic, and a few other VN's, some of which I plan on writing / am in the process of writing stuff for ! (imagine me rubbing my hands together like a fly, very menacingly, while you're reading this).

Someday I plan to have a bunch of fics in a nice little masterlist, but the truth is that I feel I don't have enough published to do that quite yet. We'll get there eventually!

My ask-box-thingamajig currently says "Suggestions? Talk to me!" because I am always open to discussions about the games I like and suggestions for things to write about. Seriously, the well my ideas come from sometimes dries. So please, don't be shy! I'm shy enough for several people already (。﹏。*)

While this blog isn't and probably never will be primarily or explicitly NSFW / 18+, I would prefer that only people around that age or older follow or interact.

Aside from that: zionists, racists, TERFS, and any flavor of transphobe / homophobe are not welcome here. With all due respect (which is none), please see yourself out. o(TヘTo)
