Summary: Lan Wangji is standing in line, listening to the bright laughter of the man in front of him. The sound makes him feel an echo of something he can’t name. And then the man turns to glance behind him and their eyes meet, and Lan Wangji’s stomach drops. He’s suddenly somewhere else. He’s on the edge of a cliff, watching the man he loves fall.

[Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian find each other in a new life and start recovering memories of their first one.]

Notes: THIS ONE HURTS SO GOOD. it's such an interesting concept that I don't think I've seen much of, if any? before, and the author makes it so fun to read. there are sad moments especially re: WWX's death that only add to the story. definitely worth a read if you like reincarnation!!

Don't Wormy About Me.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #yu ziyuan #Please allow me to make it clear how important I think the hug between YZY and JC is in regards to several aspects of their characters #For one - it is the resolution and reveal that behind all the harsh words and bitterness...She really did love her son. #A hug is a soft gesture that you would never expect from someone like YZY and the fact she shows JC this affection now - #-Tells us how she knows that this upcoming battle is a death sentence for her. #Her giving away Zidan is honestly overkill but another sign of her truly showing him how she loves him and wants him to survive. #The dread of knowing she's walking back to a fight without zidian and trying to keep up brave face one last time...chilling. #Zidian represents legacy and promises. And this is going to both save and destroy Jiang Cheng as he carries this weight alone. #Heartbreaking stuff! Didn't draw it in the comic because I wanted to draw a silly worm on a string! #WWX tried to help JC out of the knot but got stuck in it. #Those worm on a string tricks are harder than they look! #Also; it's been about a year since the last boat joke - but indeed this is the 11th boat of pd-mdzs. No need to do the math.

Wei Wuxian?????

Honey, the hell you doin' at Ghost City???

The sects trying to summon WWX's soul: Why isn't it working???

Wei Wuxian having the time of his life (death?) gambling at Ghost City: ... Hua Chengzhu, can you hear that annoying buzzing sound too?

Hua Cheng: I don't hear anything.

Wei Wuxian: ...

Wei Wuxian: Anyways, so -

You know what constantly haunts me? That scene in the donghua where wangxian are walking down the street and lwj stops and asks wwx how he died. He mentions how it's widely believed his undead turned on him but when lwj went his findings showed that wasn't the case.

That moment. And wwx just pulls in, quiet and somber, and says that he died and the how doesn't matter. You can see that lwj is pained by this and wants to ask more but then wwx switches to a smile and runs off to play with a rattle drum and lwj lets it go.

That scene HAUNTS me. The notion that wwx didn't die the way all believe and that lwj /knows/ that and that he has an idea on how he /actually/ died but needs wwx to confirm or deny it. The way they talk in that scene leads me to believe wwx... Well, that he chose that path.

Persistent Memory

#mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #my mdzs art #mo dao zu shi #blood / #death implied / #Btw if you are curious but may have missed it: #WWX reacts like that to LJY and JL grabbing him due to suddenly having a flashback to when he was ripped apart by corpses #He waves it off like always but everyone is clearly worried 🥲 #ptsd / #just in case #jin ling #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #ouyang zizhen #edit: lol forgot the caption #please don’t say his death was the consequence of his actions i hate that (wrong) take and it makes me sad

[starplatinumnun]

mo xuanyu is so funny to me because imagine you are the biggest fan of this (allegedly) terrible wizard guy who was assassinated for doing evil magics. then you end up dead and the wizard possesses your body, beats the absolute shit out of your family members on accident, mortal kombat style, then makes them into zombies. if his soul wasn't obliterated i bet he'd think it was the funniest shit ever

#mo xuanyu #mdzs #wei wuxian #mo dao zu shi #mxtx #he's probably digging it tbh. wwx is living the homosexual lifestyle mo xuanyu dreamed of #tw death

Every time I read Yiling Wei sect AUs and they start describing what the sect members and leader wears its like, (direct quote from The Yiling Wei Sect and the Black Robed Lan by IvoryDragon48)

"[Wei Wuxian's hair] was pulled up into a high ponytail by a red ribbon with a gold and silver headpiece ornamenting and helping to direct the flow of his hair. The robes he wore were expensive looking with black being the dominant color and reds as the accents. The inner robe was a red so dark it looked like blood and the outer robe had simple yet elegant designs."

--And like, I get the urge to make them really cool looking and with themes or designs matching the other sects but like??? there's massive wasted potential here!!!

First, the hair. that's all well and good, but there is no way in hell that the Yiling Wei folks (Wen Remnants and others reviled/ostracized by society at large) are going to buy a gold guan OR a silver guan. why the hell would they bother spending precious resources on trying to impress people who already don't like them for something they literally have no control over.

But Wei Wuxian would know that he has to play the game now that he has people to protect, and going to a Con as a Sect Leader and not doing what all the other sect leaders are doing (wearing guan to say "I'M BETTER THAN YOU!!") is essentially outright stating that he holds no respect for any of them except in a way that could get him and his people killed. so instead, he goes "fuck it" and makes a guan out of something incredibly ordinary, like iron or wood, so now if anyone brings it up he can say "Oh, well, I like feeding my kids." or "Actually, I made this myself, all the better for carving protective arrays into!"

--And that's it. Wei Wuxian is a street kid he absolutely knows that rich people don't like to think about poor people and that they prefer to ignore them or hurt them. except you cant just attack someone who's being perfectly reasonably polite in public, especially when you just pointed out that he's 'poor'. Wei Wuxian's strategy is make them so fucking uncomfortable that they leave us alone.

(This would of course be after several years of no contact and no fighting so things have cooled off a bit)

Next, robes. No expensive robes. Let them be very well modified normal robes that have subtle stains and colour bleaching from sunlight and washing. The (shown, non-array-work) embroidery is at best amateur level, and Wei Wuxian will proudly show it off, loudly saying "a-Ning started a while back to help with his fine motor skills, and he's really come such a long way!!" and that "Oh, Xuanyu started practicing only recently but he's already so good at it!"

The Yiling Wei are the exact opposite of Lanling Jin. Wealth is to be used to benefit everyone and everyone is to be loved and appreciated for their work. The refusal to spend money of frivolous things is strong, especially when its something you could make yourself.

Self Ornamentation would not be jade or gold or silver or silks. It would be some nice wood, these feathers from the bird that likes me, hey look at this cool rock I found I'm gonna polish it like a gemstone, I dug these awesome bones out of my grandmama's garden you think I can do anything with 'em?

Yiling Wei folks are death druids.

#druids who are also necromancers!! #but they use bard methods #thats kinda how i see guidao/“demonic” cultivation #lwj @ all who say wwx is poor: ah. so you have chosen death. #wei wuxian #wwx #mdzs #mxtx #mxtx mdzs #mdzs wwx #yiling laozu #mo dao zu shi #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the grandmaster of diabolism #yiling patriarch #yiling burial mounds #yiling wei #mdzs au #modao zushi #mo dao su zhi #the untamed #grim talks

It is known that Hanguang-Jun, every new moon, goes deep into the woods.

No one knows what he does there nor why he leaves only during the new moons, and even more confusingly, why he takes a rabbit lantern with him. Lan Sizhui is the only disciple who dares ask him once about the lantern, and Hanguang-Jun’s reply lends nothing that means anything, leaving them just as in the dark as before.

They don’t know about a man with a red ribbon in his hair. They don’t know what he means to Lan Wangji.

His uncle, if asked why Lan Wangji goes off to into the night, would say to night hunt. Perhaps, privately, he thinks the same as Lan Xichen would answer: to mourn someone he once loved.

Who did Hanguang-Jun love? the disciples would whisper. Who did he love that he mourns every new moon? Who occupied his heart so completely that he has not missed a new moon in six years?

They do not ask Lan Xichen, and Lan Xichen does not ask Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji is relieved by it if only because he doesn’t know how to explain that he goes not to mourn.

He waits. The lantern is behind him, lit so it casts warm shadows on the trees in front of him, the light gentle against his back. He’s already chased away anything that could disrupt them, already quieted even in the wind as he waits in the woods so dark he can barely see past this small ring lit by a lantern whose flame burns with the steady thrum of his heart in his chest.

He always senses him a moment before he sees his shadow, like a flicker in his peripheral vision, like a sudden warmth in his throat, a gentle ease to the tension in his shoulders that he can never quite place until it’s gone, until he’s here.

And just like that, Lan Wangji breathes. He know better than to turn around and fracture the careful balance they maintain at the darkest hour under a moon unseen.

The light of the lantern is all that holds them together. Someone could walk by, not even two meters away, and never see anything at all.

The lantern does not waver. It remains steady as the rise and fall of Lan Wangji’s chest.

Lan Wangji feels him step closer, like an imprint in the air. He wants to reach, just once, touch the shadow that lingers just behind him as if it’s soft silk between his fingers, solid enough to pull ever so gently into his arms.

He does not. Instead, he speaks, slow, quiet, like a man falling in love again, after a thousand nights, after dreaming every night and wishing every day, heart growing more tender with every second.

“Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji says.

“Lan Zhan.”

@add1ctedt0you wanted to know what I meant re: meanest things to wonder about for WWX and JC respectively post-canon, which is enough to make me start talking!

WWX: would WWX believe in the story of how JC lost his core if he learned about it? It doesn't fit in with the things he's telling himself about JC and the way he wants to distance himself. Would he believe it? Or would he tell himself it's hyperbole, or it's Empathy playing tricks on him, or it's a misunderstanding, or it's a lie? Would he really endanger his newfound worldview and life by digging about it?

JC: so how does JC reconcile the fact that WWX already lost control of his demonic cultivation and got killed people both JC and WWX himself held dear, at two different times, with the fact that JL spends time with WWX, and that JC seems okay with that? does he just tell himself it's all in the past and WWX has changed now and will definitely never lose control again and JL is safe? is he gambling JL's safety on the fact that WWX having a core surely changes things enough? (maybe he's not okay with it! his power about what JL does and who he chooses to be friends with is limited, especially if he wants to keep having a good relationship with his nephew)

ETA: technically about JC that also includes wondering if he actually legitimately truly sincerely thinks that being around WWX is Safe Now (WWX is saying so!!). You'd think he'd be vaccinated after last time, but, well. WWX's grip on JC. what's personal growth.

#mdzs #chengxian #we already know that jc will let bygones be bygones re jyl's death if it means wwx is alive at the end of the book #we already know that wwx will not think one positive thing about jc in particular if he can avoid it if it comes at the expense of wwx's eg #so i'm asking the mean-reading questions #especially given how terrible jl's sense of self-preservation vs his kindness is

Yo what if post cannon Shen Qingqiu gets hit by some sort of mind control that orders him to kill the one he loves most.

And it Bingge. Obviously it’s Luo Binghe. And everyone is frantically looking for the cure or interrogating the perpetrator but no one worried that he’ll be able to actually harm his husband the heavenly demon.

But no one knows that SQQ has more knowledge of heavenly demons than perhaps even his husband, due to having read PIDW from another Luo Binghe’s perspective, lunch tea with his Author-Shidi, and an embarrassing two days spent interrogating his father in law so he can avoid anything that can actually hurt his husband.

No one knows that the protagonist halo is gone with the completion of the story.

Luo Binghe is forced to watch his beloved kill him. When given the choice to harm SQQ in defense or allow himself to die there is no choice. He dies slowly and in pain as his husband watches coldly.

SQQ’s scream is one that will echo in the minds of his sect mates for the rest of their lives

#svsss #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #if I were to continue this I’m not sure if I’d have sqq half deranged #searching frantically for a way to bring his husband back #(binghe can’t die that’s not how the story goes where’s his happy ending system this isn’t real) #and essentially becoming a mirror of binghe in the five year timeskip #having binghe stay dead #sqq eventually destroys himself #and they meet in their next lives as wwx (sqq) and lwj (LBH) #and WWX remember after nearly dying in the burial mounds #and isn’t sure if LWJ remembers or not but surely he must HATE him either way #LWJ doesn’t remember until after WWX’s death #so it goes like mdzs cannon until after the 13 years timeskip #where everyone is shocked at the stoic LWJ running up to (not) Mo Xuanyu and sobbing apologies #all the rest of the PL are still on their mountains cuz they can’t ascend without all of them #it is heavily implied that they are on baoshan sanren’s mountain til they can find SQQ’s soul #mdzs
