#don't know how people write pretty + eloquent + well structured analysis

[evakant]

not to constantly go "okay but i get it" whenever i'm talking about any given jiang cheng moment but the scene where he finds wangxian at the ancestral hall...... wei wuxian literally doesn't even look at him until he feels he has to defend lan wangji. and i'm not talking about not making direct eye contact, wei wuxian keeps his back to him at all times. he turns away the second jiang cheng steps further into the hall.

and we know why he can't make himself meet jiang cheng's gaze but, listen, the idea of my sister refusing to even fucking look at me when, hey! you've been dead for more than a decade and you're back home for the first time after being resurrected, and having.... no fucking context at all as to why?? yeah just the idea of it makes my blood boil, i won't lie.

fuck, i'd pick a fight too. i'm not saying it's right. i'm not saying there's not nicer ways to do this. i'm not justifying it. i'm just saying..... yeah i might get the sentiment.

you won't look at me? fine, i'll make you look at me.

#and the thing is that the second wei wuxian turns around jiang cheng is right there making direct eye contact as if his life depends on it. #like ah there you are. so this is what it takes. i'm only worthy of having your attention if i act like /this/ fine. okay. watch me. #and i'm not saying it's literally canon but right after he goes 'oh should i be nice to him? (takes another dig at lan wangji)' #you know it's both impulsive and so.... controlled. so planned. there's logic behind it despite the fact that it's all emotion at its core. #attention is attention after all and sometimes you want your sibling to pay attention to you so much that you are #willing to let it be... not the good kind. so what if they're looking at me to scold me or because #i poked and prodded a little too hard and they're done with it? at least they're looking. #and before you come for me: no. i do not treat my sister like this. well.... it's not a habit at least lmao. #i might have done it a few times when i was a kid because i was.... a brat. really. not often yeah but can't deny i've done it. #sometimes you just gotta make your sibling mad #cause you have that power. you know how to make it happen. and you know how to make it happen fast. #this is a terrible post. i love my sister very much and i would kill and die for her i'm JUST saying i kinda get it. #don't know how people write pretty + eloquent + well structured analysis #i'm like 'well to be fair older siblings bring out the worst out of you' and then let the people of tumblr do the heavy lifting #me sighing: brothers! #untamed.txt #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #yunmeng shuangjie #rs: he cares so much about you in his heart #this IS nonsensical but hopefully it makes just enough sense to be understood #fra.txt
