i really really really love the idea of wei wuxian revolutionizing modern cultivation over breakfast and conceptualizing these different theories simultaneously because the adhd brain has no brakes and the only reason it took him a decade to publish all these ideas was because he could not stick to a single train of thought long enough to finish (verbalizing) it, let alone put it down on paper coherently.

the only reason he even got to publishing them eventually (and enrolling to cultivation theory grad program to get on that track) was because one morning, his undergrad thesis advisor, lan qiren, finally got fed up and sat him down for an early morning progress check-in because it was midterm season and wei wuxian still hadn't decided on a topic.

wei wuxian, fueled by an unhealthy amount of redbull and three all-nighters, finally word vomits all his 'convoluted' ideas which he'd thought were uselessly obvious and redundant (because he's gone over these like a bajillion times, it's very plain-as-day to him, so he probably just hasn't read the articles that say these exact things).

lan qiren, teacup frozen halfway to his mouth: ...first of all, i only understood half of how you got to these conclusions, which only means they are indeed too convoluted and will need to be pared down; secondly: you have never mentioned any of these ideas before. why.

wei wuxian: oh. haven't i? oh well, i just thought, xyz, because, obviously, abcde. which is really what the 2 centuries old law on ghjkl was alluding to, right? and so, logically, xyz.

lan qiren: [mind blown, screaming, good gods this is the same child who's always tardy and spent freshman year pulling on the metaphorical pigtails of my straight-laced nephew?!?!??!??!?!] ..again, why...how have you never even spoken or submitted these ideas?

wei wuxian: because!!! they're so obvious!! surely, it's been published somewhere already? i can't be the only one to connect these dots, surely??

lan qiren: incredibly, you are. no one else has even thought to question tradition nor pursued more thoughts on the law of ghjkl, with half as much...sound arguments as you seem to have. in the past century, the focus of modern cultivation has tended towards practical uses and tools, some fine-tuning, perhaps. not entirely new theories.

wei wuxian: huh....

lan qiren, sighing, feeling a migraine: your problem with your thesis is not a lack of focus or ingenuity, but likely to be more a lack of recent, evidentiary sources. you will need to become very familiar with the university archives and dig deep for sources that will back up every argument you make.

he jots down notes on a paper. "you will also need to strictly adhere to the structure and methodology of these articles, especially given how radical your thesis will be. if you are diligent enough, you may just be able to submit your thesis without too much of a delay." he slides the list of materials to a gaping wei wuxian. "depending on your output then, we can discuss the possibility of submitting this for peer review."

"peer review." wei wuxian repeats. "as in, that thing where some uppity committee of old coots put their stamp of approval for it to become the reading materials of undergrads like me. you're joking."

lan qiren chooses to ignore the sentiment about peer review committees being uppity old coots, especially considering how he can't completely deny it on account of some of his colleagues, but also as a member said peer review committee, he isn't exactly pleased about being lumped in the same category.

wei wuxian backtracks at his unamused look. "right, you're not joking, of course you're not." he slowly inches the list towards himself. "right, yes, i guess i'll uh, get to it then. ok bye."

----

idk, just, waves hand at wei wuxian candidly explaining new modern cultivation theories over cheerios at 2 in the afternoon to lwj who's trying to help him structure his grad thesis, getting mind blow dick hard at how this messy genius who's talking with his mouth full of half eaten cereal is the object of his affection....

wwx: --oh, oops, your highlighter fell

lwj: mn

wwx: ...aren't you gonna get that?

lwj: it's fine; i'll pick it up later. finish your thought.

wwx: right... i'll pick it up for you!

lwj, fighting for his life, trying to think unsexy thoughts: NO! sit. finish your meal, and then your thought.

#big brain wei wuxian #wei wuxian #genius wwx #in an interview for modern cultivation magazine he's asked: how do you do it? #wwx: adhd! #also a dedicated partner who tolerates your midnight rambling about spiritual energy and entertains your endless what ifs scenarios #bonus points if your partner is lwj who has amazing notetaking skills and a phd in decoding wei wuxian notes #wangxian #mdzs #modern cultivation au #also i love a supportive mentor lqr dont you #a mellowed out lqr who has a little more tolerance for radical ways of thought as long as theyre rooted in morality and good will #mamoonde short fics

The lights of the bamboo house were still lit even at this hour and the doors cracked to allow the summer night wind to blow through, but that was no guarantee Ming Fan was still awake. Luo Binghe’s hands gripped tighter around the medicine chest he’d received earlier from a Qian Cao disciple. Ming Fan had been difficult when they’d both been disciples, and was now doubly so now. It could have been easily blamed on his unstable cultivation, but Luo Binghe feared it was something else. Even at the door, the uneasiness made him hesitate. Lamplight striped gold across his face as he gazed through the cracked door. Ming Fan sat by one of the lamps, looking unnervingly fragile, staring tiredly at the moths fluttering around the golden glow. As if in a trance, his hand rose and softly closed around one of the creatures. He brought it close to his face and examined it between the cage of his fingers. “All you want is warmth and light,” Luo Binghe heard him murmur, “but it’s so easy for you to burn, isn’t it? To destroy yourself over something you could get even from a distance.” A tired laugh and those thin fingers released the moth to flutter back to the lamp. “Foolish.”

this scene has been living in my head rent free for so long (and on my computer) so I’ve finally drawn out how I envisioned it

#svsss #bingfan #luo binghe #ming fan #svsss art #my art #peak lord ming fan #more for the peak lord au #sqq dies in the lingxi caves and mf has to step in as temporary head and overcompensates with his cultivation as a result #smething something lbh and mf are suggested as cultivation partners to stabilize his qi but lbh doesnt know abt his demonic heritage yet #so everyone’s wondering why mf’s cultivation keeps getting worse not knowing it’s being corrupted by lbh’s #I’d write this but I only have loosely connected snippets #aus I’d love to write

[thiefscant]

the thing abt anaistarion is that i DO absolutely Ship It and am excited to explore it in every form. but i’m p sure i’ve done a good job not forcing that on any of my mutes who write astarion. at least i have tried bc i get what it’s like to write a character who’s so popular and i don’t want my partners to feel like i only value them or their portrayals for the shipping opportunities. like just bc i’m upfront about my ship biases on the dash/in personal headcanons doesn’t mean i will forceship in practice, y’know? it was the assumption that i must also be doing that which rubbed me the worst abt the anons i received. i don’t like the feeling of being willfully misunderstood (or maliciously misrepresented). otherwise i just found them funny.

#esp since i’ve only talked shipping with two (2) astarion writers at this point #and both of those beloved mutuals took opportunities to approach me abt it first #as a possibility to explore etc #which i’ve been!!! eager to run with dgmw!!!! #but it’s like…i have not approached a single person first about this ship #but ppl saw me interacting with multiples of a character and got jealous ig #and it’s easier to assume the worst of someone you envy #than it is to confront your own insecurities triggering that feeling #anywhomst i love my partners and mutuals so much for being so amazing #ily all and am v glad to have cultivated the circle of decent folks i seem to have!!! #!a suspicious lack of dragons. ( ooc ) #blacklist for less soft nonsense. #tbd.

Don't stop me, but Song Lan is the most miserable person in MDZS!

His whole family and friends in Baixue Temple got massacred for literally no reason (not because of war in world domination scenario or even debt of karma! But Just because of a villain's vicious mind!).

His eyes were ruined by the villain, his Daoist Partner Xiao Xingchen was forced to have guilty conscience and gouged his eyes for him. Not only that, after searching for years, Song Lan can only die under Xiao Xingchen, being silent, because he didn't have the heart to let Xiao Xingchen knows it was him who was killed.

However, The person he cherishes, Xiao Xingchen, someone he was willing to die silently under, eventually still die in despair driven by the said Villain.

Even after that much misery, The readers of MDZS actually has the guts to scorn Song Lan and defend Xue Yang...

Isn't he truly a miserable person??

What kind of great crime did Song Lan do to deserve all that?

Nothing.

This guy is just maintaining his conscience and holding on his morality well.

Imagine if this silent and mysophobic guy is Lan Wangji.

Are you willing to see Lan er-gege be scorned while the readers defend the villain and even pair that villain with Wei Wuxian instead?

#yes I am SongXiao party #yes I am a person who like good guy to be paired with good guy #xue yang gives nothing to xiao xingchen but misery #songxiao can have their happy life of being daoist partner if only xue yang didnt come and wreck the day #song lan #xiao xingchen #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #songxiao

I saw the idea of qi qingqi x yu ziyuan and I propose :

an au of where jiang cheng post!mdzs is stepping down as sect leader and is actually looking for a cultivation partner - cue him finding one in the qiong ding peak leader of the newly ascended generation. They're really happy - she doesn't fit 99% of his criteria and is a whole head taller than him but it's actually great! they're happy! -She even introduces him to the old generation - including her shifu, Yue Qingyuan. In the wedding preparations, he meets the ascended lords, including Qi QIngqi, who is shocked by JC's appearance. Cue JC finding out abt his mother's old lover and being conflicted as he re examines the complexes that affected his childhood.

also I like to think that WWX and JC slightly reconciled post MDZS, so his reaction at meeting QQQ would be interesting.

Okay but why would Jiang Cheng step down? Even ignoring why he would desire to step down, before he can step down, he has to designate a heir - a heir that isn't directly related to him like a son but pick a cousin, somehow, from the very very few blood-related Jiangs left alive, to say nothing else of their cultivation level. For him to put his foot down on this plan, it means that he and the elders don't expect Jiang Cheng to have any blood-related children - not just because traditionally things are passed down from father to son and blood takes precedent, but also there would be a succession issue if Jiang Cheng suddenly has a kid with stronger blood claims...

Then Jiang Cheng has to spend quite a number of years training said heir. He's doing this while also teaching and helping Jin Ling with the whole mess that is the Jin Sect.

(There's no reason why Jiang Cheng can't hunt for a cultivation partner while remaining sect leader. The elders would be ecstatic and any transition of power is a period of weakness for the sect, so the longer they can delay Jiang Cheng passing the power over, the better.

So the elders would far rather that an interim sect leader handles matters while Jiang Cheng is on a sabbatical to find a cultivation partner. If it happens to be a male partner, they don't care - Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have made it trendy and anything is better than nothing when it comes to Jiang Cheng who seemed like he was going to be an eternal bachelor. Perhaps this new partner can help them convince the Jiang Sect Leader to at least have a concubine or two for blood heirs!)

Also I'm sure that Jiang Cheng would feel even more like he's betraying his ancestors by giving up his position for something as "frivolous" as looking for love.

Other than that, lol imagine the Jiang elders have a mini heart attack when Jiang Cheng brings back not just a female(!!!!) cultivation partner (that he can have kids with!!! No more inane planning to be done to trick the sect leader into having kids!!!) but also his mother's old lover?!?!?!

(Insert Liu Mingyan in the back writing a love story based on Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's lover story, being careful to mention how Lan Wangji's pillar was so large, it was almost large enough to rival that of the demon emperor's. But only almost.

Wei Wuxian takes incredible offense to that heh.)

thinks abt hyth essentially being the disabled partner (due to the persistent utilization of creation magicks on a vast scale being considered something "as innate and as easy as breathing" according to shb npcs) who struggles to love and accept himself because he often has to rely on help from his friends and loved ones. (and yes he is blessed in that he exists in a society where asking for help isn't heavily stigmatized and a general sense of equality is pretty strictly emphasized, but knowing that he's not able to do things that others do as easily as breathing magicwise absolutely taxes his self esteem nonetheless, and it leaves him constantly feeling like a burden and i think thats where him telling whoever rezzes him if he dies in k.tisis h.yperboeria "you shouldn't have. no, really!" comes from.) looks away

#🧋 — spillin' on ur dash. #but his desire to help others doesnt rly stem from a place of just wanting to repay them. #even if he were more powerful i think he'd still want to help ppl and the fact that he isnt really Gets To Him and 😭... #speaking as a disabled person born w/ it this kind of thing is really hard to deal with and it is very hard to have any kind of relationshi #when u constantly worry that ur being a burden to that person by asking/needing their help #it requires patience and a desire to cultivate mutual understanding from the partner in question.

This is either going to get me cancelled or become the start of a revolution BUT.

I was having a mind boggling thought where Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan are a ship? And I was thinking about this and how Jin Ling would get raised by the two (they form a close bond over losing their sister and wife), and it would be chaotic but also bittersweet??

but then that idea got crushed once my mind cleared and it dawned on me that Jin Zixuan dies before Yanli (sadge). 😔

But regardless, if anyone can entertain this thought of mine, please,,, I am begging. Please entertain me.

#River goes insane part I-lost-count #jiang cheng x jin zixuan has potential I SWEAR #LIKE IT HAS PROBABLY HAPPENED FAR TOO MANY TIMES IN HISTORY WHERE THEY LOSE THEIR SIBLING/PARTNER AND GET TOGETHER TO OVERCOME TRAUMA #I SWEAR I’M BEING NORMAL 😭😭 #which reminds me… I still need to make the Jiang Cheng x Reader fic #mdzs brainrotting #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #魔道祖师

I can and have xed out of fics that make lwj speak too much. in fact I just did. stop giving that man paragraphs!!

#also when all his dialogue is unconditional support for praise of and validation of wwx #bores me to tears. he has OPINIONS and STANCES of his own and his relationship w wwx is a PARTNERSHIP #I talk a lot abt unconditional support but thats like. public stuff. emotional support. #not backing up every single one of his decisions w effusive praise but rather walking down a path alongisde him #lwj having his own principles and moral compass is what makes his support of wwx MATTER im so frustrated w bl fans #a partner that never challenges or questions you makes for a stale partnership. there is only one person really there #when there should be two. as a team #also wwx doesnt NEED validation abt the things he did or his inherent self-worth #he may have regrets but hes coming to terms w them on his own and hed be far more reassured by lwj #deliberately siding w him and defending him in public and making sure he knows hes worth it #rather than soothing any inherent qualms he has abt his appearance or value as a cultivator. theres a difference #finally lwj isnt hc lmao #ficblogging

I look at a person i think is cool or cute and think i want to look like them. I look in the tags of my selfies on tumblr and see ppl calling me gender envy and style goals. Smth smth you rarely recognize your own beauty because you see yourself every day

#romanticize yourself. adore yourself #become your own gender goals #cultivate ur own style #ur capable of loving urself infinitely #thinking about how much i absolutely adore my partners smile bc i think their teeth are cute #and for years they never smiled w teeth bc they only saw flaws. beauty is the eye kf the beholder #u can be ur own beholder #.txt

Today my partner and I discussed getting matching shirts that say "the hot bitch I pulled by being autistic" and each shirt has an arrow that points to the other person.

#original #diary #today we were watching a great show and a moment happened that made us both so happy that we #we skipped right over laughing and spontaneously launched into like a full 30 seconds of full body happy stimming #before laughter could even come out. happy stimming happens when i am so happy i must do something even more joyful than laughing #and she finished before me and i was still going and she came up to me and hugged me and told me i am so cute when i stim #it is like. so cool to discover positive stimming #and as sad as it is i had to suppress it most of my life i not only have it now but i also have a partner who actively encourages it #bc someone who loves you delights in seeing your purest expression of joy and seeks to cultivate that. #she is kind to me always #i just wanna yell at everyone about how they are supposed to be treated bc i wish someone had told me #i wouldn't give up my autism for any material thing in existence bc then i would be steven without his gem #i can happy stim in front of so few people and i generally think of myself as so open. but there are times it is unsafe to stim #and times where that safety or lack of it is unclear. and so masking is an unfortunate but necessary thing #and i have WAY more freedom in dropping my mask than most people bc i am white. #and people of color - especially Black men in my country (guess which one.) - are not given nearly as much leeway by society #but that is a super heavy topic and i am high and it is midnight so we will come the fuck back to that #'do u read critical race theory?' 'nah i just read some white stoners tumblr tags.' #anyway go listen to other people who are smarter than me and also not white if you wanna learn about this topic more #autism positivity #i love my wife

I probably don't experience attraction like neurotypical people and that's okay.

#Asexual question mark??? #Eh.... #What does attraction even mean to someone who every aspect of his life experience is intrinsically colored by lifelong neurodivergency? #I don't relate to an intense desire/drive for romance/sex #Both are important to me in a relationship to an extent. #But more than candle lit dinners and sharing a bed I want to cultivate a friendship and understanding with my partner #I think being vulnerable about our feelings while cuddling and petting the cats is just as valid an expression of intimacy and love

     alrighty, it’s clean up time!! i’ve grown a little overwhelmed with the current amount of people i follow, so i’m gonna work on decreasing that number. i’m gonna give this post some time to circulate before i go soft-blocking anyone, though. if you’re still interested in writing together and would like to remain mutuals, pls tap the heart!! 

#get ready to ramble | ooc #my longtime mutuals don't have to worry bc y'all are stuck with me no matter what : ) #plotting partners and pals y'all too you're stuck sorry : ) #but if we haven't spoken or interest hasn't been shown on your part pls make sure you like this post #bc i need to be nice to myself and genuinely try to cut back on how many people i follow #it's better to cultivate relationships with a few than to spread myself thin and develop nothing properly
