#human lan wangji

[aline-the-cat]

Once, a beautiful jiaoren fell in love with a human cultivator and was loved in return... but the mortal world wasn't allowed to interact with the sacred creatures, and so the heavens punished the merman, with only his lover as the witness of such a brutal act...

"Wei Ying! Wei Ying! Please!"

"Lan... Zhan..." the dying jiaoren made an effort to open his silver eyes. Lan Wangji always looked so handsome, his golden eyes were so beautiful... Wei Wuxian would never regret falling in love with the man nor giving birth to their child "take care.... of a-Yuan" he whispered "I... love you" his final words echoed in their cave as his mythical blood painted the blue water red

"I love you! Wei Ying! Please don't leave me!" Lan Zhan cried over his increasingly cold body, he knew his son was already hidden, but his beloved, his dear Wei Ying... "please... please"

In the sacred cave only the pained whispers of a broken heart were heard for hours even aftef the sun set

Hey! Here's a little piece I made for Mermay day 8: Heartbreak, WangXian inspired :3

Sorry for not having a Year of the Dragon MDZS artwork; Unfortunately, I can only picture Dragon LWJ in this particular flavour.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Dragon AU #MDZS AU #noodleji #(IT'S A REAL TAG!!! AAH!!! THROWING MY HAT TO THE LITTLE GUY LOVERS!) #Yes I watched Fruits Basket in my teen years and yes it left a significant impression on me. #'The Dragon Transforms' and its just into a small little guy. #Even more points if the human form is a Tall Guy. #Sadly this does not appear to be a common nor popular variation so I will sit on my little hill alone. (EDIT: I WAS WRONG) #Dragon LWJ probably would be some kind of river dragon. Lesser god of a small stream. #One that grows bigger with time but always has the reputation of being benevolent and calm to those who seek its clear waters. #Do not pollute these waters or your ass is going to be bit. 1000 tiny puncture marks. #I imagine that's probably how wwx first meets him (accidently pours booze into lwj's river) (gets bit - gets bit - gets bit-) #WWX eventually befriends him through stubbornly showing up every week to give him offerings. #Takes him into town in a little pot of water to show him how the people live. Maybe go to a festival. #When the day is done and he's back in his river and alone - LWJ finally feels a new emotion...it is longing and loneliness.

AU where wangji is a baby dragon yao. Young xichen meets him in the outer forests and brings him home. Didi acquired!

Wangji mimics xichen’s appearance and xichen teaches him how to act human 😌

M, 21k, Wangxian

Summary: In a world where the gentry families are both shapeshifters, and rulers of their territory in truth, a different war is started by greed. During its course the paths of a human and a dragon shifter cross, and from that, something grows. Kay's comments: This story has really enjoyable world-building and I loved to see the sects re-imagined as shifters. Like in canon, a war plays out between the sects in this story. However, the allegiances are different and in the end, the Jiangs are on the losing side and the story follows how Wei Wuxian ended up being turned over to the Lans and then promptly courted by Hanguang-Jun himself. Even during the war on opposing sides, Wangxian had already hit it off and their developing relationship in this story was right up my alley! Lan Wangji truly knows how to treat Wei Wuxian as he deserves and shower him in love and appreciation! Excerpt: Wei Ying’s part of the border had held, in contrast to the one near the coast. And so, it had been deemed more important that he guard their back against Gusu. It meant that Wei Ying had spent the last month skirmishing with Lan Wangji, Hanguang-Jun. Heir of Gusu and, as all of the main Lan clan, dragon shifter. Truly an awesome sight in his dragon form, Wei Ying had never seen anything as beautiful as that. All sleek, white scales, with ice blue accents, swift and elegant in the air. But fighting him directly like that? Not his idea of fun. Bears at least stayed on the ground. It had involved a lot of tactically chosen cover, talisman work and quick, intense duels. He was managing to hold the border, despite still having mainly common troops, and a few of the other outer disciples. But this would not work forever. For the moment, his requests for reinforcement had been denied, due to the Nie and Wen effectively pressing the Jin and Yu – the Nie had been joined by Zewu-Jun and his men, which was making things very difficult for the Jin. As Wei Ying had expected, their side was crippled by power plays and politics. There were factions in the Jin sect, each jockeying for the most prestigious postings. The Yu were too proud to accept someone outside their sect commanding their troops. And Jiang Cheng was terrible at cooperation. It was a mess held together by Jiang Fengmian’s efforts at diplomacy, and the hope for gains.

Had a really long talk with my roommate about this & we came to opposite conclusions. What do you guys think?

#polls #college au #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #wwx #lwj #wangxian #this is for research purposes #normally I hate writing aus but the idea crept into my mind and would not leave me #I think wwx is an engineer. lwj screams humanities #dude would probably minor in philosophy and major in ancient history or comparative literature or linguistics #lwj is school of letters and sciences for sure #wwx compsci maybe? materials engineering? leaning more compsci but tbh I could see any engineering for him except for biomedical #I think wwx would live in the makerspace #she says wwx is pre-law polisci and lwj is compsci #she says lwj is the humanities kid —> stem major pipeline #like us lmao #probably did really well in English in hs but Asian parents/cultural influence promoted the stem degree #we agreed that Jiang Cheng is business econ though

Shy Hanguang-jun 🖤

So I love the idea of Hanguang-jun, touching his lips unconsciously, his ears blushing red, lengthening his elegant neck as he turns his head to slow blink at his one true love, the Yiling LaoZu, when the man tells Lan WangJi that his hair looks nice today.

I keep trying to convince myself that MDZS had a happy ending overall but then I think about how 80% of its AO3 tag is just fix-it fics

#and it makes sense bc like #wei wuxian's core is too weak for him to live over a normal human lifespan like lan wangji #and it's too late for him to be able to make it as strong as it used to be #his body isn't even HIS it's a whole ass other person #he'll probably never fully reconcile with jiang wanyin #most people still hate him #half of the characters are just dead #lan xichen is probably just the shell of a man now #what's there to be happy about LMFAO #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #lonely thoughts

Usually in fiction when people write sibling they (imo) either write them mean towards one another or extremely kind towards each other but I have yet to see my sibling hood dynamic and I think it would go PERFECTLY with the lan brother.

My sister and I have ‘conventions’ basically set of rules we agree upon. Can be weirdly specific thing like ‘eating one sandwich is strange, why would anyone do that ? Sandwich should be eaten in TWO or not at all. ’ And ‘zucchini are disgusting demonic thing ’(THEY DO NOT TASTE LIKE WATER GET YOURSELVES A NEW TONGUE IF YOU THINK THEY DO) or rule that we put in place because the alternative tired us by just imagining it for exemple this one we agree upon when we were children : ‘if one of us put soap on the other toothbrush and the other retaliates it will just never end. So let’s not even begin to do that.’ This rule act against any prank actually lol

Anyway, I think it would be extremely funny if teen wwx BAFLED by this sibling dynamic lol (wwx : why do you mean you have even MORE rules ???)

idk how to explain it really well, but what makes me obsessed with teenji and generally what sets apart lan wangji from the usual cold, stoic and inexpressive hot character is the reveal, early on, that he is just a little guy

#like. i've said it many times why teen wangxian are SO important for what makes wangxian appealing #and why even in AUs i don't like having that time period of their lives removed #but it's esp important for humanizing lan wangji and making him sooo much more... realistic #and it's why it KILLS ME how the lotus seed pod novel extra is one that i've seen a lot of people skip #because it's also one of the few moments in the novel where we follow lan wangji's pov!!!! #and my goddd. MY GODDD #HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY!!!!! #lwj ruined this love interest archetype for me #cause authors are TOO AFRAID to break the hard and cold and stoic exterior #when that's exactly what i wanna see #we learn early on that lwj is just as much as a disaster as the rest of us #and that's DELICIOUS #modao #lace speaks

dehumanisation and re-humanisation in MDZS/ CQL

this is, arguably, the main theme of the whole masterpiece

Being of mixed Eastern-European, Jewish and Roma (gypsy) descent, I easily see the ghost of Nazism in the Wen Clan supremacy. "We are the one and only supreme race/ clan, we are entitled to anything we fancy, and all others must prostrate themselves before us and surrender to our rule, otherwise they must be exterminated". "I give the orders here, and you all are nothing but my dogs", says Wen Chao. An extreme example of dehumanisation.

But the Jin Clan, using the remnants of the Wen clan (non-combatants, pacifists, healers) as bait, is also a blatant example of dehumanisation/ objectification practice. And, strangely enough,

most people there take it for granted, or even if they disagree, they do not actively protest. A nice demonstration of the definition of privilege ("when something is not considered a problem because it does not affect me personally").

The only person who openly objects to this and voices aloud the similarity in the dehumanisation practices of the Wen Clan and the Jin Clan, is Wei Wuxian, by that time already himself being objectified by the rumour-mongering mechanisms of "creating an enemy". He is a necromancer, doesn't this mean that he is treating people as objects?

The most amazing, for me, part of MXTX's masterpiece is that she gives the most clear and defined re-humanising stance to Wei Wuxian. All the Burial mounds settlement arc is based on Wei Wuxian staunchly refusing to deny the Wens their humanity. He treats them as human beings, deserving to have as much dignity as possible.

One of the very few people who fully understand this is Lan Wangji, and not the least important in this understanding is the seemingly small incident at the banquet, when Jin Zixun challenges the Lan brothers to drink with him. Lan Xichen is facing a dilemma: to say "Lan Wangji can't tolerate alcohol" means to publicly embarrass him, but to let him drink is to cause a complete loss of face. In CQL, the earlier drinking scene in Gusu is necessary to make Wei Wuxian the only person in the world to know what kind of laughingstock Lan Wangji turns into when drunk. So, coming into the banquet hall and swiftly evaluating the scene, Wei Wuxian drinks the cup meant for Lan Wangji, saving his face and protecting his dignity (...and this uncouth behaviour wouldn't tarnish Wei Wuxian's reputation much more that it is already tarnished, would it?). For Lan Wangji this becomes some sort of revelation.

When Wei Wuxian promises to bring back Wen Ning's consciousness, this is the most obvious re-humanisation project, in a way — the central line of the whole story. Wen Ning is the most soulful, gentle and humane walking corpse that ever existed. But at the same time, people who use dehumanisation as a normal modus operandi, think of Wen Ning as a tool, a weapon, a "knife". The whole part of the story of the relationship between Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning during Wei Wuxian's second life is about Wen Ning re-asserting his own agency over his life and choices, from kneeling before Wei Wuxian and calling him "master" to breaking his promise to him, choosing to honour his own values instead (and telling Jiang Cheng about the golden core), and finally choosing independence from Wei Wuxian.

But there is another re-humanisation project that Wei Wuxian is involved in, more subtle and possibly more difficult, from a certain point of view: re-humanisation of Lan Wangji. Because being made into the "epitome of perfection", into an example, — is also a form of dehumanisation and objectification. It is difficult to do, because Lan Wangji has internalised this practice and he constantly dehumanises himself in this way. Wei Wuxian's compassion, appreciation of merit and "flaws", and easy-going attitude creates a different environment in which Lan Wangji finds himself.

The same dehumanisation/ re-humanisation is the source of the tragedy of Lan Xichen. Whereas Jin Guangyao takes dehumanisation to a level of particular "finesse" (everyone for him is either an asset or a liability, a tool to advance himself or an obstacle to be removed), Lan Xichen's respect, friendship, trust and loyalty is a constant re-humanisation of him, — unfortunately, only in Lan Xichen's own mind.
