#on a sad note Wei Wuxian’s memory does include Jiang Fengmian mostly ignoring Jiang Cheng

[winepresswrath]

sad thoughts, when the massacre of lotus pier happened a lot of bodies must have ended up in the water and for years after they keep finding things at the bottom of the lakes. bones, weapons, even a few clarity bells.

An extension of that scene where they come home together and the floors of their home are still splattered with the blood of family, their enemy’s banners and insignia are still flying, and Wei Wuxian takes a moment to come to terms with how completely his childhood home has been desecrated? Yeah. It must have taken years to clear out completely, even in the show, where the damage is much less extensive than it is in the book. On a side note, I really love the story this scene tells. There’s been a battle here, more recently than the massacre, but while they drove the Wen out of Lotus Pier and removed the bodies they didn’t even stay long enough to take the Wen banners down. We see Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian in the ancestral shrine before they go to meet Yanli in the Unclean Realm, where they seem to be based for most of the rest of the war, and the first time Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng notice Wei Wuxian’s talismans is in the Yiling Supervisory Office, which I think means Jiang Cheng must have fought that battle during the three months Wei Wuxian was missing before frantically running off to go looking for him again.

#Wei Wuxian #Jiang Cheng #the untamed #on a sad note Wei Wuxian’s memory does include Jiang Fengmian mostly ignoring Jiang Cheng #and it’s a pretty clear contrast with Jiang Cheng’s fantasy/dream/memory #Yanli is there but Madame Yu isn’t #Jiang Fengmian only has eyes for Wei Wuxian #Yanli pauses at bb!jc and stays with him as JFM moves on #but it’s still such a heart wrenching scene because you do see what the affection and pride JFM gave to WWX meant to him #how much he needed it #on an additionally bitter sweet note how do you think WWX felt when Jiang Cheng used his core to tear down the Wen crest? #like fucked up about it sure but also #their shared power and skill tearing the last remnants of their enemies down and restoring their home to its rightful glory #we love to see it #it is also possible that Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian fought this battle together immediately after their Wen Chao confrontation #but I think that’s a little less likely #still very good for my yunmeng bro feelings though
