#doesn’t like bugs until he’s 10 and points out a particularly large spider next to lxc’s desk in the library

[biqinsu]

as funny as all those “lan wangji hates bugs” headcanons are, i actually love the opposite: lan wangji loves bugs. he can identify a beetle at a glance and he always takes a few extra seconds to admire the spiders that get into the jingshi that he scoops up before he puts them outside. when he was little there was an orb weaver that took up residence beside his window and he called her maiden spider for as long as she lived. they were a special interest of his for a solid few years before bunnies, and he’s still an encyclopedia of bug facts.

but you know who doesn’t like bugs? lan xichen.

so:

lan wangji, age 8, holding up a weird-looking cricket he found: xiongzhang look

lan xichen, age 12, sweating bullets: how nice, wangji

#he doesn’t even do it on purpose he legit does not realize #lan xichen #doesn’t like bugs until he’s 10 and points out a particularly large spider next to lxc’s desk in the library #and in approximately .2 seconds lxc is three feet off the ground hovering on shuoye #lwj gives him a Look that’s both betrayed and confused #bc lxc never Said Anything abt not liking them but in lxc’s defense #he’s not going to advertise how grossed out he is by something that makes his little brother so happy #lwj #lxc #lan wangji #twin jades #riko.txt
