#drunk lan wanji

[aboveweirdest]

Yes Lan Zhan is a Stoic Boy™️ who gets real silly after one (1) drink and does shit like steal chickens and invent graffiti, but did we forget when he tied Wei Ying's hands together, pretended to run away from him, then looped Wei Ying's arms around his neck like "oh nooo you caught meeeee"?

That shit is peak drunk Lan Zhan. What a fucking child, i love him so much

#the fact he only did that when wwx threatened to lick him lol #“oh you want me to lick you?” #and then wwx spends the next 4 books not realizing they're in love #two whole idiots #how is this book so stupid and so traumatic at the same time???? #mxtx #grandmaster of demonic arts #the grandmaster of diabolism #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #lan zhan #lan wanji #wei wuxian #wei ying #wangxian #drunk lan zhan #drunk lan wanji #continued misuse of the lan forehead ribbon #aka the correct use of the lan forehead ribbon #rip the lan juniors also #they will never recover #mdzs

[rejectedfables]

the scene where drunk Lan Wangji lays down to sleep and says "It's 9 o'clock" is funny because "haha he always goes to bed when it's 9 o'clock" but it's even funnier if drunk Wangji interpreted "I'm going to bed" as "that must mean it's 9 o'clock" when it's actually like 2:13am or something. Drunk Wangji claiming it's 9 o'clock with FULL conviction as he goes to bed, no matter what time it actually is, because if he's going to bed that must mean it's 9 o'clock. And Wei Wuxian PISSING himself struggling to contain his laughter

Lan Xichen x F! Reader (18+)

Lan Xichen lost his beloved during winter. In his solace, his heart felt colder without her warmth.. his [Name]. The eldest Lan brother yearned to the point he fell ill. Wanji and Wei Ying found him in the cold, watching the snow fall.

One cup of Emperor’s Smile was enough for Lan Xichen to become drunk. Wanji had to pry the jar from him; “She will return.” [Name] was the best healer Gusu Lan had seen yet and her abilities were needed due a plague caused by a flood. Despite knowing she was an accomplished cultivator, he could not help but worry.

Alcohol always put Xichen in a joyous mood. Members of the Gusu Lan witnessed their leader’s flushed cheeks and excited smile turn wider the moment a familiar figure appeared. Her arrival signaled the beginning of spring, flowers now blooming where snow fell. [Name] stumbled slightly with the unexpected weight of Lan Xichen’s body. Lan Wanji moved to help but she made a motion with her hand, placing her arm around Xichen’s waist. “It’s quite a sight to see you like this” she murmured, maneuvering them towards his house. “You’re a sight…!!!” [Name] was a bit surprised, her eyes widening. “Is that so?”

 “Mm.. so pretty..”

With some effort, she slid the door open. “My eyes are always drawn to you..” It was a bit difficult to focus on a task when Xichen’s dark and gentle eyes followed her every movement. “Ah.. Xichen could you not..—!” Her footing stumbled, tripping the two of them just at the edge of his bed. Xichen was quick to swivel their positions so that he would take the brunt of the fall.

“Shh.. shh.. it's alright.”

Xichen’s arms secured themselves around her sides, his breath ghosting her lips. [Name] could smell faintly the richness of the wine. “You're the only one for me..” he didn’t want anyone if it wasn’t her. Not knowing how to answer his drunken confession, she ushered him to bed, “Xichen, go to sleep.. you’re drunk.”

“Mmm.. alright.” Still, he could not. His eyes wandered down, and his mind focused on [Name]’s lips. They were pink, like the flowers outside. Could he taste the nectar of said lips? “..Do you want... to kiss?” He whispered, eyes gazing up at [Name] from underneath his long lashes, cheeks growing even rosier.

“You’re drunk.. I can’t kiss you right now.” Lan Xichen blinked, “Oh.. right.. I.. I forgot” he muttered, rubbing his temples with his fingers. [Name] felt his hand reaching back, holding her nape gently as his head dipped subtly, their foreheads touching. “Kiss later..?”

[Name] blushed under the gaze of his thick lashes. He was too pretty. “If.. you remember, then.. yes..” Lan Xichen’s heart swelled and his body grew warmer at the notion of her acceptance, his ears deaf to all but her ‘yes’. He closed the distance between them, in an gentle yet eager manner. His body pressed closer to hers. “Mmph!” Lan Xichen’s other hand settled on her cheek, cupping it softly. His tongue grazed her mouth and his fingers touched her headband before [Name] pulled away hastily, one of her hands flying to her lips, “X-Xichen.. I meant once you were sober..!”

Embarrassment seeped down to his bones, stammering apologies, “.. I'm... I'm sorry, I..” Despite this, the longing look in his eyes betrayed that he would have done it again in a heartbeat.

The newness of this feeling unsettled the female cultivator, making her wonder if she was drunk as well. “Rest for now. I will see you in the morning.” “Yes, yes.” Lan Xichen murmured, his face a crimson red. He stood up, but instead of leaving, his steps faltered and he collapsed back onto the bed, his eyelids fluttering shut. He was already half asleep. The first time he ever got drunk, he had to do it in front of the love of his life. Such mortifying luck.

[Name] stared at Lan Xichen’s sleeping form, how beautiful he looked even in a messed state. Brushing away some of his long hair from his face, she tucked him in.

The morning sun and chirping birds alerted Lan Xichen that he had woken late. Everyone was up at 5 in the morning, though that was the last thought in his mind when he opened his eyes. His head throbbed like thunder, and he instantly felt the nausea setting in. Xichen’s body was sluggish as he turned his head to try to avoid some of the light that was entering through. He winced in pain, his face pale in his misery. Oh no, he was going to...

“Uwah!” Lan Xichen cried, and he threw himself off the bed to rush towards a bucket at the very least.

Albeit they’d already broken rules last night, merely by being alone together, [Name] still decided to go in and wake up their leader. Also because Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian kept ushering her towards Xichen’s quarters. She had a feeling they knew something.

“Zewu-Jun..?” She waited patiently outside, announcing her presence first. When she heard distressing sounds, [Name] peeked inside. “Xichen are you alright?”

“I...” Lan Xichen panted, face flushed as he hovered over a bucket, dry-heaving into it. “... I'm dying...”

It was so embarrassing he truly felt death was a better option. The headache, dizziness, and nausea all welling up in his body only made things worse. Tears pricked the corners of his eyes, and he looked pathetic. It was not a pretty picture. Lan Xichen was an absolute mess. Closing the door, [Name] rushed to him, her feet making soft noises. Kneeling down beside Xichen, the first thing she did was hold his hair, gingerly moving it away from his face. Her palm hesitantly settled on his back, rubbing comfortingly in circular motions. “I... I feel so sick...” Lan Xichen muttered, his eyes closing. He was trying his best not to vomit, but it was so difficult...

He was ashamed to let [Name] see him like this; she was so gentle though, and her touch was so soft, that it was hard not to relax in her presence. Lan Xichen did not want her to see him when he was at his worst, but he was also glad that she was here. He couldn't possibly bear this alone..

[Name] finally spoke, “Why did you end up drinking so much? Especially with your tolerance..” she chided gently. Lan Xichen panted, his stomach turning at the memory that haunted him. How embarrassing…

“...”Lan Xichen stared at the ground, feeling tears in his eyes. She was stunned by this sight, wondering what could’ve possibly made their leader this depressed. “I was thinking of you..” He admitted, his voice breaking a bit, the floodgates threatening to burst. If they opened now, it’d be hard to close them again. “I missed you.. so much..”

“Miss me..?”

Lan Xichen nodded. He couldn't even look up, because tears were falling from his eyes now, wetting his long, dark lashes. His voice was quiet, but the pain was evident, and he couldn't stop himself now. “Being away from you is the worst thing I can endure...” [Name]’s sleeve was grasped by his fingers as if Lan Xichen couldn’t dare touch her.

He didn't mean to be so emotional like this, but when the liquor loosened his tongue, there was no stopping it. “I don't know how to live without you..”There was a pang in her chest at those words. How could their honorable Zewu-Jun says that seriously.. as if her existence was vital to his??

[Name] watched as tears fell down his pale cheeks, automatically reaching to wipe them. “I’m right here..?” Her confused reply broke his heart, silently pleading that she understand the meaning behind them. How torturous it was for him that she wasn’t near. His throat tightened, “It's not the same.”There was this urge to embrace her, to feel that softness of her body, assuring she wasn’t a visage of his longing thoughts. Instead, he reached out a shaky hand, his eyes wet and desperate. “Please... don't leave me again..”

One of his hands intertwined with hers. “I feel so lost without you..” It was a gamble to admit how dependent Xichen was on [Name]. He feared that they’d be like his parents—his father who fell deeply in love with his mother even when she did not return those feelings. Would his beloved spurn him too? Would Xichen live the rest of his days cursed to love a woman who did not love him back? It hurt, it ached so much. He would die for her, if only to end this pain.

“Is that why you kissed me yesterday..?” Lan Xichen nearly choked, not expecting to be questioned about his actions so openly. He swallowed the embarrassment, his fair skin hot. “Yes...” He admitted, his heart racing so fast that he could barely breathe. “I couldn't stop myself...” Unconsciously, Xichen leaned closer, getting quieter until he was practically muttering into [Name]’s ear. “You're all I can think about..” Both of their cheeks turned red, their bashfulness manifested into their skin. Xichen closed his eyes, that nauseous feeling returning, his stomach churning—waiting for the cold knife of rejection. “I.. I'm sorry...” He whispered, and he looked even more pale. If [Name] didn't care for him, then Xichen could not live. Tenderly, her hand pushed some of his hair back. “Perhaps let’s have you take a bath and we can talk afterwards, mn?” She left his side, working quickly to fill his bamboo tub with water. His eyes followed her as she left the room, and his heartbeat grew even more frantic.

“I.. will wait for you outside.” [Name] was swift in exiting, waiting outside his house to give Xichen privacy. She got into lotus position, mediating to calm her racing heart. Was this true? Could their leader, the eldest of the Twin Jades of Lan, have intimate feelings for her..?

Lan Xichen sat in the bath, letting the warm water soothe away his aches and pains. There was a tinge of anxiety that [Name] would flee after he acted a fool in front of her last night and even kissed her, she’d still comforted him.

Stepping out of the bath, dressed in nothing but a cotton robe, Xichen overheard voices coming from outside. “Please senior, we need you!” [Name] looked into the pleading eyes of her junior and could not refuse. “…Alright. I will be there in a moment.” A sigh escaped her mouth; a few seconds passing before she spoke loud enough for Lan Xichen to hear her on the other side. “Xichen, are you there?” He stood in front of the door, hand resting on it. His fingers twitched, contemplating if he should open it and come face to face with [Name]. “It seems I am needed elsewhere. This junior needs my help. Is it possible for us to talk later?”

Xichen rested his forehead on the door. He felt sick again. Though the Gusu Lan leader tried his best to act normal, and pretend that nothing was bothering him, he was internally panicking and about to cry from discomfort. He couldn’t burden her with these feelings, so he bottled them up deep inside his glass heart. “Yes..” Finally, he slid the door aside, momentarily forgetting he was barely covered by the robe’s thin fabric.[Name]’s eyes briefly wandered down before she quickly composed herself. "Of.. Of course.." Xichen forced out with a smile, trying to sound as normal as he could. "It won't be a problem.."

The day was grueling for both. [Name] had yet to record her experiences that occurred during her mission and travel, on top of helping her juniors whilst Xichen focused on his duties, which he’d neglected a bit. Before they knew it, all of the disciples were getting ready for bed. [Name]’s feet moved softly towards Xichen’s quarters. She hoped he wasn’t cross; after all, she was still unsure how to approach the topic of romance. “Xichen, are you awake?”

He had been watching the door intently. Truthfully, he would have waited for her all night. His heart raced with anticipation, “I'm still here..” He replied softly, his voice barely above a breath. “Come in.” Xichen was lying on his bed, his face hot with emotions. He yearned for her presence with him.

“I apologize. It took a long time to return.” [Name] seemed exhausted and yet, she stood in his room. “I would wait an eternity for you..” After being left alone with his thoughts, Lan Xichen cared little for this shameless behavior. He felt a strong need to touch her.

Before she could respond, he quipped, “You seem tired. Are you alright?” “Ah.. I’m fine. The juniors were eager to learn some techniques and it tired me a little.” Her lips molded into a gentle smile; [Name] was always fond of her juniors since they reminded her of more tender times. “...I see.” Lan Xichen replied, trying to keep his response calm and collected. It made him a little jealous to see how someone else could bring a smile to her face. Especially the way [Name] was easily moved by that junior’s pleas. Xichen wondered if he begged too, would she respond in the same manner? The next few words slipped out even as he tried to bite them back, but he was just so desperate to know. “By any chance... did you find him attractive..?” Her brows furrowed in thought, “Who?”

“This junior that was so effectively able to move your heart into aiding him when you’d already promised to speak with me.” Lan Xichen wanted to cover his mouth. He knew that his jealousy was childish, but he couldn't help the way he felt, no matter how hard he tried.

Finally understanding his worries, [Name] bit her lip. Part of her wanted to tease Xichen, as this was so unlike him but she also didn’t want to accidentally hurt him with her words. “My junior is handsome… but he is not the one that caught my eye.” At this, Xichen’s fingers twitched. His felt anxious as to who was the fortunate individual to capture his beloved’s interest. “There is only one person who is most beautiful to me.”

Blood thundered in his ears, his heart about to beat out of his chest. "And... who might that be..?" He quietly replied, his voice trembling with anticipation. Xichen held onto the tiniest string of hope, almost resigned and prepared for the worst. He held his breath, waiting for [Name]’s lips to utter a name that would either destroy or save him. Her answer would dictate the rest of his life.

“Lan Huan is most beautiful, of course.”

His hands shook from excitement, and he felt himself grow dizzy from the rush of emotions... but all he could do was let out a soft sigh, his breathing still shallow from relief. This was more than he knew how to handle. “Are you alright..?”

“I...” Lan Xichen felt the urge to pull her close and never let go. “I love you...” He uttered with conviction. [Name] smiled, accepting his feelings and the internal turmoil that had now settled. Grabbing his hand, she rested her cheek on it before planting a tender kiss on his wrist. For this first time since he saw her again, Lan Xichen felt calm. His fingers stroked her soft skin. [Name] blushed under his lovestruck gaze. Never did she imagine the beloved Xichen, whom everyone admired and fawned over, would look at her in this way. Was this real? As if to test this newfound knowledge, she removed her cheek from his caress, which he’d been happy doing. “May I touch you..?”

Lan Xichen's face turned red but he nodded. “Of course...” He would never refuse her anything. [Name] could have asked him to fall on his own sword and he would have obeyed without a single reproach. Having his consent, [Name]’s hand slipped inside his robe, running her fingers over his smooth and pale skin. Xichen couldn't stop himself from gasping. This.. felt good. It was easy to get overwhelmed with such an intimate experience. Xichen’s breath caught in his throat, rendered weak against her touch. Although her hand beneath his robes was gentle, it was like a trail of fire especially when…

[Name] ran a thumb over a pink bud, pausing when Xichen jumped a little. “Is this too much..? Shall I stop?”

“Y-No...” Lan Xichen replied, his voice barely above a breath. He sounded like he was ready to melt, his body trembling and aching with love and lust. Although, [Name]’s touch was more addictive than anything in the world. He couldn't get enough of her. He didn't want her to stop, and he would let her do anything she wanted to him. He wanted more..

Obliging, [Name] was quick to undo his robe, letting the material fall off his shoulders. She marbled at his strong physique and smoothness of his pale skin. “Someone as perfect as you..” her hand cupped his cheek, leaning in for a kiss. Xichen’s eyes widened after the initial surprise, before closing them and kissing back. His hold was gentle yet firm, holding onto the back of her head, keeping her there as his tongue made a soft intrusion. “Mmn..” when they pulled away, a thin string of saliva connected their mouths.

Xichen’s hands worked swiftly, pulling at her clothes till she was bare. “Mine.” He squeezed one of her breasts, his mouth taking the other. “A-aah..!” Their bodies collided with desire; soon enough, Xichen parted her legs, “Xichen wait.. nghh.. not there..” It was all new, to touch another this intimately. The former had accidentally found his brother’s stash of ero books, flipping through them in intrigue. “I can’t wait to try all kinds of things with you.” His hand found hers, their fingers intertwining. [Name] swallowed, nodding as she watched Lan Xichen with half-lidded eyes. “Hnghh!” Her hands clutched the sheets tightly, butterflies flying inside her stomach. “It’s.. I’m close..”

Xichen’s fingers soothed the supple skin of her thighs, pulling back with his lips and chin collated in her essence. How undignified and yet..

[Name] pulled him up for a kiss, her tongue trailing upwards as she cleaned his lips. Xichen smiled fondly. His beloved’s embrace was heaven to him. The devotion in his soul, cemented as she returned his affection. Lan Xichen would follow [Name] to the ends of the earth for a mere touch from her, and he would do anything, surrender his everything, for just one more night like this with her.

Lowering his pants to free his hard member, Xichen secured a hold on [Name]’s waist as she looked at him with desire. She wanted this as much as he did. “I will go slow.” Despite his warning, a loud moan threatened to escape her rosy lips which Xichen silenced with his own mouth. Their bodies united and even though he was careful not to overwhelm her with his movements, Xichen panted heavily. It wasn’t enough. “More, more.” His hips met her pelvis roughly, “X-Xichen..!” This only served to excite him, his mouth latching itself onto her neck, “Yes, call for me, beloved.” The Gusu Lan leader’s heart swelled with love.

[Name] gasped as Xichen maneuvered her body with ease, placing one of her legs over his shoulder, the distance between them closing. It’s like he was desperate to become one. His throbbing penis pressed into her in a manner that had [Name] ascending. “Lan Huan.. I’m about to..” He smiled. “Me too.” His forehead was covered in a thin veil of sweat, and his ears a bit red. With one last powerful thrust, Lan Xichen embraced [Name] tightly as if he never wanted to let go. “Become my wife..”

“Yes.. yes..” she clung to his strong shoulders, a bit breathless from the orgasm. “I want to be your wife.” Xichen was ecstatic, kissing her again. [Name] groaned softly as he pulled away momentarily, his seed trickling from her hole down her thighs. Shifting onto her stomach, [Name]’s hips were raised by Xichen, “Then let’s make love like spouses.”

Sensitive from their previous release, her moan was loud. “Ahhhh!” Xichen had the gall to smile sweetly, not stopping—instead, he leaned over, one hand grasping her breast as he pounded deeply into her. “Huan-gege.. nghh!!” The sweet sobriquet sent him over the edge. That night, neither slept; [Name]’s body was stretched to its limit, her skin and womb painted with Xichen’s cum.

“Wife..”

Strong and gentle arms wrapped themselves around her form. [Name] had learned over time what this honeyed murmur meant. That’s how their first child was conceived. “Huan-ge..”

Her soft please were music to his ears, and made Xichen want to kiss her again, again, and again. He could not stop himself from lifting her robes, his member already hard against her ass. Lan Xichen was drunk with passion, his mind and body full of his beloved, and it almost felt like he would pass out from how intense his feelings were for her right now. He slid in easily; [Name]’s body recognized him now, after their daily love making, it was only natural.

Pressed against the wall, [Name] could only whine as her husband penetrated her cunt over and over. Xichen caressed the plumpness of her skin, his fingers putting pressure. His body was shaking and his breath shallow, but Lan Xichen could not stop. “[Name]..”

Shivers of pleasure racked her body as Xichen released. “Its filling me..” [Name] rested her forehead on the wall, her legs trembling with exhaustion. Lan Xichen wasn’t done though, pulling her above him as they settled down on the floor. He was supposed to be doing reports—instead, he was balls deep into his lovely wife. “Lan Huan.. aah..” his hands gripped her hips tightly, unwilling to part. “Are you trying to get me pregnant again..” Xichen blushed at [Name]’s words, his face turning crimson. He mumbled, his voice sounding a bit guilty, "I can't.. help it-!" It was as if a flood of desire had been unleashed in him, like an unstoppable wave, and he was drowning in a sweet and blissful pleasure that was almost too much to bear.. He wanted more, his body was aching for it, and he was afraid that he may never be able to stop once he started again.

“Alright… do with me as you wish.”

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 36 part one

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)  (whole thing on AO3)

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!  

Lan Wangji’s alcohol tolerance has improved considerably since the last time he got drunk with Wei Wuxian; this time he does not face plant onto the table. He’s still totally hammered after a single drink, though. Lan Wangji doesn’t do anything halfway. 

Wei Wuxian maneuvers him into their inn room (which does appear to have a second bed, alas) making the same vocalization that people in cdrama seem to use to settle skittish horses, and puts him into bed.

...Fully clothed, because the hair & costume department ain’t got time to be re-doing anybody’s outfit, we’ve got a schedule to keep here, people, let’s move!

The last time Wei Wuxian put a drunk Lan Wangji to bed, they were kids and he laid him down like a sack of potatoes. 

This time he cradles his head, holds his hands, tucks him in, and comes within a censor’s breath of kissing him. 

He’s obviously got a lot of feelings for Lan Wangji at this point, and I think he’s sort of aware of the nature of those feelings, but he is still not clear about what’s going on in Lan Wangji’s head and heart. So he continues to slap a veneer of playfulness over the deeper stuff that’s going on underneath...mostly.

(more behind the cut!)

Old Friends (Sat on the Park Bench Like Bookends)

While Lan Wanji sleeps, Wei Wuxian goes outside to find Wen Ning. Wen Ning shuffles up wearing comically huge chains and a deeply strung-out expression. 

He’s so blank of expression, in fact, that the editor uses this exact same shot three times in the course of his interaction with Wei Wuxian, rather than bothering to film a longer take. 

Wei Wuxian is delighted to see him; the only survivor, or sorta-survivor, that he’s seen from their little refugee village. He’s not delighted to see that Wen Ning barely recognizes him--although he recognizes him enough to come whenever he hears his flute playing, even though it’s a new flute, which is really very sweet. This kid got a sincere compliment from a beautiful upperclassman when he was a freshman and promptly signed his entire self over to that guy for the rest of eternity, and he’s not going to let death or mind control keep him away. 

Wei Wuxian can tell something is wrong because of the heap of chains that Wen Ning is wearing, which weren’t part of his look in the old days. Critical Role fans like me are probably thinking of ways to sell these to a blacksmith. 

After a little provocative hair pulling, Wei Wuxian extracts the control nails from Wen Ning’s skull. 

Wen Ning: I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me

Unlike the next time Wei Wuxian encounters this exact same technology, he doesn’t stop with one nail, but keeps poking around until he finds and removes the second one, which fully restores Wen Ning’s consciousness. 

Wen Ning promptly feels bad about having killed Jin Zixuan, and kneels to apologize.

Wei Wuxian is like “dude, I’m so over it” and tries to get him to stand back up. When he won’t, Wei Wuxian kneels down too.

This is a gesture so important and powerful that he does it from two different camera angles, for emphasis. 

It’s interesting, when you watch a mix of CDrama genres like I do, to see how kneeling is so often a huge deal in Wuxia, Xianxia, and whatever genre Dao Mu Bi Ji and Guardian are (Sci-fi? Fantasy? Ghostpunk? Gravepunk?), and then to watch a palace drama where non-emperor people spend endless time on their knees without appearing to have any feelings about it at all.  I’m not saying these things are in conflict; kneeling is governed by a bunch of hierarchical stuff and in a palace drama, the hierarchy is all-pervasive, whereas in a Wuxia, it’s more nuanced. 

Here, Wen Ning kneels to apologize to Wei Wuxian for killing his family member. Wei Wuxian, however, has come to a different understanding of that death; as Wen Qing told him long ago, Wen Ning is a knife. Wei Wuxian is the knife’s creator and wielder, which makes Wen Ning’s violence Wei Wuxian’s responsibility. By kneeling himself, he forces Wen Ning to get up and to start moving past that event.

Next, Wei Wuxian wants to cut Wen Ning’s chains off, but he needs a spiritual sword to do it so he plans to borrow Bichen. As soon as the words are out of his mouth, though, Lan Wangji appears, still drunk, and now also jealous.

Wen Ning wisely makes himself scarce, after a few obvious “scram” gestures from Wei Wuxian.

Shenanigans

After Wen Ning leaves, Wei Wuxian attempts to guide Lan Wangji back to their inn, and manages to get lost in this town with exactly four shooting locations, if you count the Inn’s dining room and bedroom as two locations.

Lan Wangji enjoys being lost and immediately gets busy stealing and tagging. 

First, he steals a couple of chickens and gifts them to Wei Wuxian. 

Much has been made of the “betrothal gift” aspect of this chicken situation, but I’m more interested in the “penis slang” aspect of the scene. 

So, in English, the word “cock” can mean a male chicken, a.k.a. a rooster, and is also popular slang for a penis, as anyone ctrl-F’ing an AO3 page to get to the spicy bits knows. 

Naturally this made me curious if the same association exists in Chinese. I’m not any kind of Chinese speaker, but Google Translate tells me that 雞 (jī) means “chicken,” 公雞 (gōngjī) means “rooster” or “male chicken”, 母雞 (mǔ jī) means “hen” or “mother chicken.” 

...and 雞雞 (jī jī) means “dick.”  

Google image search confirms that this isn’t some other type of “dick,” either. So, with that in mind...let’s look at what happens in the scene. 

1. Lan Wangji gives Wei Wuxian one chicken.  Wei Wuxian is confused. Lan Wangji gives him a second chicken.

2. Lan Wangji asks Wei Wuxian to evaluate his chicken(s), asking is it “肥‘ (féi), which Viki subtitles as “fat” but google translate tells me can also mean “fertile.”

3. Wei Wuxian says it’s fat and pets it, then gives it a thumbs up.

4. Lan Wangji wanders off while Wei Wuxian speculatively knocks their...chickens together..

Given that Chinese and wordplay go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong, I’m going to go out on a limb and say I think there is possibly some sexual subtext hidden in this scene. 

Sword Grafitti

Next, Drunkji decides to carve his name on a post, so that everyone will know he’s a chicken thief, I guess.  Wei Wuxian reflects on how Lan Wangj, due to his repressed upbringing, is an even crazier drunk than Wei Wuxian is. 

Book and/or Manhua readers are aware that these mild on-screen antics are not nearly the extent of their uncensored drunken craziness. Tags include: hand jobs, biting, pinching, dubious consent, improper use of the gusu lan forehead ribbon, under-negotiated everything, major injury to a bathtub. 

Lan Wangji spends some time looking at Wei Wuxian’s suprasternal notch, and eventually allows himself to be dragged away from the farmyard.

Wei Wuxian puts his Lil-Apple dragging experience to good use here. 

Having convinced Lan Wangji to stop vandalizing things, Wei Wuxian’s natural sense of mischief instantly recovers, and he runs back to carve his own name in the post next to Lan Wangji’s.

He also takes the opportunity to try out Lan Wangji’s signature move: cuddling his beloved under the guise of keeping him from falling over, while gazing at him yearningly.

Drunken Master

Back at the Inn, Drunkji looks at Wei Wuxian with 100% bedroom eyes, but unfortunately Su She in a mask has shown up to cockblock him. 

Lan Wangji promptly sobers up the swordfighting part of his brain so he can bust a move. 

Not for the first time in this show, we’re treated to a fight scene with beautifully executed fight choreography paired with weird camera framing and rapid, choppy editing.

Wei Wuxian stands back and carefully watches the swordfighting, analyzing the fight moves to try to figure out the identity of the masked dude. Then he throws a talisman at him to chain him up. 

Fanfic writers, I feel like I should have read more stories featuring this particular talisman.

Anyway, with the virtue of hindsight, we know that this masked dude is ex-Gusu-Lan weasel Su She. How did Su She ever get to be such a strong cultivator? He holds his own in a sword fight with Hanguang-Jun, breaks a Yiling Laozu binding talisman, and teleports.

He still sucks, given that he’s not able to hang on to one little bag of corpse parts, but he’s definitely not the guy who couldn’t get his sword out of the lack back in their Gusu days. Maybe he’s getting regular doses of qi from Jin Guangyao, if you know what I mean. 

Oh He May Get Weary

After the remarkably proficient fighting, Lan Wangji goes right back to being extremely drunk, so much so that he briefly irritates Wei Wuxian with how bad he is at drinking.

But the dynamic shifts very quickly as Wei Wuxian sees Lan Wangji’s vulnerability, and allows himself to treat him with tenderness.

It's not just sentimental no, no, no She has her grief and care, yeah, yeah, yeah But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

We’re seeing a new side of Wei Wuxian in these moments. We have seen his devotion, his easy affection and his playfulness with his friends and loved ones. But tenderness is something he’s mainly reserved for Jiang Yanli.

Of course, he quickly moves along to mischief, asking Lan Wangji a series of questions about rulebreaking and rabbits. (Gifsets here and here)

Then he moves along to the serious question that’s been on his mind since their reunion: why are you helping me? In Wei Wuxian’s mind, he and Lan Wangji parted as enemies or perhaps frenemies; certainly not as allies. He doesn’t know about Lan Wangji’s grief or his true thoughts.

Lan Wangji gives him a serious answer, that he’s totally not prepared for: Lan Wangji regrets not being by Wei Wuxian’s side in the final battle.

Hearing this, Wei Wuxian comes a little unglued; he’s felt himself to be all alone, even while traveling together with Lan Wangji, and hearing that Lan Wangji has held him in his mind, possibly even in his heart, is overwhelming for him.

Wei Wuxian tries to tell him that he shouldn’t feel responsible for Wei Wuxian’s choices, but Lan Wangji refuses to acknowledge what he’s said, and drunkenly toddles off to bed.

Soundtrack: 1. Old Friends by Simon and Garfunkel 2. We Go Together, from Grease 3. Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding (but the version that is in my head forever is by that drunk Irish dude in The Committments, thanks VH1 circa 1991)

1. Hi, I wanted to see if anybody knew any fics where the only person who knows Wei Wuxian is back is Lan Wanji. Like nobody else knows MXY brought him back, people just think MXY attached himself to LWJ.

Please and thank you 😊 @myblurryreality

maybe someone has the link bc i couldn't find this fic. the premise is that immortal chief cultivator is gifted "mo xuanyu" by the emperor of the civilian people. its a bit removed from the canon timeline, but toward the end there's emphasis on wwx asking lwj to be loved in the shadows.

I am hella late on the ask game but that's what happens when i save a post in my drafts for when i get home and then my brain forgets. Clap Your Hands If You Believe: You say something like tinkerbell comes back to life for WWX??? It doesn't sound like you've started writing it yet but do you have more to say about this idea? i am. intrigued. :eyes:

(also the drunk lxc fic? :eyes:)

Ok… SO! The idea was that all (or like a lot of) the cultivators come together and with their combined spiritual power WWX gets back his golden core (while somehow JC still having it or having a part of it or something… this was a very bare foundation idea!) the reasoning around this needing to be done im not sure… maybe he is like wounded orrrr idk! I really want to (and probably need to) finish the show before I start a more serious fic like this! I really have to sit and think so much on it but the idea of JC having to participate in this being that HE has WWX’s golden core was where it spawned from ! Cause ya girls all about a redemption arc 👀

As for drunk LXC fic 😂😂 just.. here’s the plot/prompt I made up for it

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wanji are in Caiyi Town and LWJ gets drunk. WWX decides instead of taking him home they will stay there so no one know/says anything and he gets embarrassed. He has to BS with the juniors (mainly Jingyi) about something being wrong with him, and so they can’t leave, but once they find an inn LXC shows up. WWX tries to keep him out of the room – even though he knows he wouldn’t really care – for LWJ’s sake, but LWJ gets out of bed and tries to pull the doors open (picture when WWX hears LXC knock he slips through the doors and is blocking them, and once LWJ is up he starts trying to tug them open) He gets out and WWX tries to use the same excuse he used for the Juniors – He’s sick, tired, been drugged is cursed idk – but LXC knows. And does his little Hmm smile and is like ok. He didn’t drink in Cloud Recesses after all, so loophole? they get LWJ back in bed and start talking and this leads to that and LXC has a glass(cup, shot?) for whatever reason LXC doesn’t do whatever it is he does in the show to stop himself from getting drunk but still one is fine and he isn’t affected so WWX is like oh its just LWJ that can’t handle it and he offers another one… and thus drunk LXC shenanigans ensue (with drunk LWJ tagging along and WWX panickingly trying to control them

If the March of Maedhros is still ongoing, I would die to see my boy happy and smiling in your wonderful artstyle. Maybe Fingon said or did something cute and funny and Mae fell in love with him all over again.

Here you go! Sorry it’s so late that it’s actually April now but you know what? It’s always #MarchofMaedhros in my heart so I will honour requests for him at all times.

I loved the soft idea of Maedhros falling for Fingon all over again, so here’s Fingon getting warm by the fire in Himring and regaling Maedhros with funny tales and gossip from court, which is something I reckon not many people would bother to do.

What used would the cold Lord of Himring have for such idle chatter? Honestly he just likes to be included and treated like any other person. It wouldn’t occur to many to catch him up on the smaller details; and Fingon is so beloved and hilarious that these small, personal, everyday snippets bring a light and warmth that makes him fall in love all over again, and reminds him what they’re here fighting for.

A secret prequel to “oh my god Fingon took his braids out”

wei wuxian and his juniors (kids) ♡

Imagine the juniors doing something wrong, or breaking the rules and their knee jerk reaction is to immediately huddle behind wei wuxian. and the poor yiling louzo just sighs fondly before asking them what's wrong and he won't defend them this time (he does end up doing it again because he loves all of them alot)

wei wuxian taking the juniors for dinner after they complete a night hunting, it's their ritual to always eat together. sometimes some of them would go too far and get drunk, and wwx had to take the responsibility to send them back home safe. and if sometimes he says he's busy to eat out right now, they would look like a bunch of kicked puppies and wwx would immediately promise to take them out for lunch tomorrow.

the juniors just looking at wwx with excited puppy eyes because he's just so cool and he's a reliable adult who doesn't push the standard norms on them and let them run wild, find their own way, but also scolds them and helps them out.

wwx unknowingly taking the role of a parent figure for the juniors and it makes him happy, and he tries to be a good role model for them. and the juniors jumping quickly to defend him whenever someone comments something bad about him.

he's also the only senior they can freely joke around with. wwx teases them, they can make fun of him back without the fear of getting punished. even though wanji is also a good senior doesn't mean they have the liberty to be that outspoken around him. but they make joke around and be their chaotic self around wwx, knowing he'll probably join in as well. it's freshing to have someone to establish that sort of relationship with in the strict cultivation world.

(also lan zhan's fond smile watching the juniors always tail behind wwx like excited ducklings behind their mother.)

Lan Wanji, drunk off of a single drink of alcohol: I must find wei wuxian and if theres a rooster there I must give it to him. this is very important. He must know my love.

[plan-d-to-i]

Just saw this….

“* during the 13 yrs

lan wanji : *suffering, tormenting himself, grieving and trying to drink himself numb, nightmares of the yiling siege, missing wei ying, getting everyone worried for his mental well being, taking care of a wen kid he picked as the last memory of his beloved* wei ying ... wei ying where are you .. i miss you ..” ( end of quote)

Lwj mourned yes! Grieved deeply yes! Drunk one time!! That’s it. But he didn’t become a useless wreck!!! I am so annoyed at these kind of posts. And why do ppl keep thinking any time anyone picks a orphan kid it MUST be because of some romantic loss???? JFM apparently picked WWX because he was in love with his mom. And LWJ rescued LSZ solely because of wwx. Really??? Can’t it be ALSO possible that ppl like JFM and LWJ have basic decency and human compassion so that when they find a terrified abandoned lost orphan they obviously will take the child back to their sect! They are sect leader/heirs….they care about everyone…not just their ‘own’ unlike some character who we all know…

Go off anon!!

The writing in these takes too! 😭 Why am I reading someone's angsty teen journal. "taking care of a wen kid"... Do they think LWJ would have left a child he found dying if he didn't have some connection to WWX? Why are they making him sound like a pressed flower. It's clear from his bearing how much love and care was put into his upbringing. LWJ was still always going where the chaos was. No, not in hopes of finding WWX, but as he had done from his youth. Someone's really going to characterize 13 years based on one night of grief?

[aiyexayen]

You posted it twice so I've decided I get to give you two prompts. "Quiet me," please!

(yes good)

Nie Huaisang is shaking, trembling with rage, like every pent-up bit of helpless anger in him these last few years is bubbling up all at once and threatening to make him lose control.

He can feel the words bobbing to the surface, piling up behind his teeth--how could you let him go? How could you? He was ours, ours, mine. There's something vicious and selfish in Huaisang that hoards close the things he cares about, the people he cares about, ready to let his anger drive him to go down fighting when something happens to them, albeit in his own way.

Everything he hadn't been able to say as he mourned, alone, waiting for the only other person who would admit he cared to get out of fucking seclusion, is ready to spill out of him and splash across the floor of this unassuming Cloud Recesses hallway like stale blood. He's contemplating, distantly, whether it would stain those pristine white robes, that unmoved face, whether it would echo too far down these otherwise empty corridors and draw attention, whether da-ge and Xichen-ge would be displeased, whether he minds.

Lan Wangji takes a breath. "Huaisang--"

The sound of his own name is anything but emotionless, choked off on something like a quiet sob, and it's the last thing he expected. Huaisang's fists unclench in alarm as his stoic, ethereal Lan friend wavers and pitches forward.

"You're--" Huaisang catches Lan Wangji by the elbows, and catches a whiff of his breath at the same time. He darts a look around to make sure nobody's seen them yet--this he would mind an audience for. "You're drunk. Hanguang-Jun!"

Lan Wangji does not answer, just stares down at the ground. There's something morose in his blankness.

"Lan Wanji," Huaisang hisses, fury taking a backseat to concern but not completely forgotten. "What are you doing, getting drunk during a conference?"

A voice, many years old now, laughs and says, Without us, anyway! in the back of Huaisang's mind, and he shoves it away like a gnat.

Lan Wangji still doesn't answer, but there's moisture gathering in his eyes, and Huaisang lets out a breath. Okay. Okay. "Come on, then," he murmurs, and with another surreptitious glance at their surroundings, leads his drunken friend back to his own guest quarters for privacy.

It's easier than it should be to tug him along by the hand, to push him down on the bed. They barely get there by the time Lan Wangji starts crying. Not loudly, not at all, and if it was anyone else the quietness of it would be eerie, but Huaisang still feels compelled to make shushing noises as he pulls him unprotestingly against his shoulder.

"Alright, alright, shh, I've got you."

It's a strange thing to say, but all of this is strange. How many words have they said to one another to warrant being in a position like this? Lan Wangji has only said one to Huaisang in half a decade at least and it was his name. But even so, now he's got a stiff, damp bundle of white silk in his arms and he--he understands. He gets it. It feels right; they're not the only ones, but they might as well be.

"I'm still mad," he murmurs without heat as he pets hair he genuinely never expected to touch in his lifetime. It's probably true; he probably still is. It doesn't really matter, though, either way. "But you probably won't remember this anyway."

It's many years before he realises Lan Wangji absolutely did.

[impulsivelycontentious]

Bored so typing out thoughts.

I know I am no where near the first person to notice this but it amuses me so I'm gonna write about it.

So the Lan clan are complete deviants.

That they're REALLY GOOD at controlling their image.

Every one of those rules on the big rock has a good reason to be there because they're all prone to ridiculous outbursts if they're not controlling themselves. Lan WanJi is not an exception. He's not special. Neither was his dad.

I would bet not one of those rules on the wall is "don't be bringing back evil spouses to hide here" because probably not even LWJ and LXC's dad was the first.

Like they knew how to deal with that. They disapproved. But there was a plan and they *kept that shit quiet*.

And then LXC did it again.

Keeping shit quiet is a suspicious pattern for cloud recesses.

Let's just look at LWJ.

Lil' bro switches sides and runs off with public enemy #1?

No problem. We can find *over 30* masters who know how to keep their mouths shut and NO ONE WILL EVER HEAR OF THIS even after they get the shit beaten out of them.

Punish him so badly for it it takes him years to recover (for beating them up, and potentially getting caught, not the whole running off with your necromancer crush thing apparently?)

No one outside find out.

He gets piss drunk and wrecks havok that freaks out the residents for quite some time?

No one outside finds out.

Like the level of scandal control this clan has is god tier.

One assumes they must be entierly familiar with controlling scandals.

And LXC also. On a personal level.

"sure you can bring people back and hide them no big".

"ok you did the evil by running of with the necromancer who jsut killed thousand sof people but I still love you." And his big concern is LWJ *getting caught*.

"oh he's back now, when are you two getting together?"

"he called my other bro a liar and I do not like this and one of the two of them is clearly evil but look... I love one and you love the other so let's not do anything hasty."

"ok but did you know my little bro likes you?" Not once but twice.

LXC forgiving his bros over and over again until told one of them is gonna attack him. Like. Damn.

Does he ever pay much attention to the fact this person may be evil? No. No he doesn't. Lil' bro loves him so ok. He will wanna lock someone up at the end of figuring out who is evil but defeating the evil is second place to how one feels about the evil.

The jr's are like "this dude cannot be evil he's nice." And then just go with he is their new adoptive uncle/old adoptive dad. LS says it's ok so it must be.

LQR just ignores WWX despite passionately hating him, other than telling the juniors to avoid him.

It's just... This upright sect has no innate moral compass. They have rules. Motto. Etc. It makes them behave.

Then they like you or they don't.

And they'll look after really morally questionable people and keep it hushed up if someone likes them.

They're so good at hiding shit. No one knows they don't drink because they get trashed real fast. No one has any idea about their questionable relationship with romance.

If they don't want anyone to know about it, no one knows. We don't even know what else they're keeping quiet.

And I can only imagine how long they've been specializing in making potential blemishes to their reputation just... Not exist.

They're far too good at cover ups.

And this amuses me.
