Hey @river-of-light ! Here's my @mdzsgiftexchange art for you!! I hope you like it C;

I was super inspired by your prompts, and I immediately thought up this fusion au that really hit me in my interests lol. So this is a modern au where wwx and lwj are married archaeologists and they uncover this ancient buried tomb, and guess who's inside! Yeah it's their past forms they were 100% reincarnated and found each other again because they're soulmates lol.

This au is like totes not actually following proper archaeological procedure lol, maybe procedure is different in a world where cultivation is still being practiced. I imagine that wwx does demonic cultivation lite™ where he can sense resentful or demonic energy and prevent further degradation of bodies, maybe he can pop into their brains with Empathy and he then illustrates what their life was like afterwards. (I love the mental image of every museum having a demonic cultivator to preserve bodies, lqr would hate that lol). Lwj is still a Lan™ and had learnt like, spirit communication and veganism and how to be buff, though he mainly interviews spirits and writes up their field reports into Proper Academic Language to be published. Together they form an achaeology dream team lol. (Maybe the juniors are there as their field and lab assistants, maybe they're wangxians adopted kids, maybe they're both, you decide)

I'm imagining a sort of crosssver between real actually super preserved corpse Lady Dai (who had been buried for over 2000 years but was preserved so well it was like she'd just been buried) and like, weird demonic cultivation preservation. So when the dead wangxian are uncovered they don't look like skeletons lol. Living reincarnated wangxian are firstly like, 'holy shit they look like us', then go on to write up an incredible paper that wins them science awards or smth idk

How did ye olden wangxian die? Idk fam your choice, tho they defo were buried in the same tomb (lwj insisted on the ribbon and burial arrangements, wwx accidentally did the preservation cos he was just so full of that good good demon energy)

One of my favorite ideas for the LSZ is WRH's son concept is an au where WRH survives the ssc (maybe he's too weak or is in a coma from his injuries for some time so he wasn't able to stop the aftermath of the ssc) and he's now a hermit living in a mountain in qishan away from society because he wants to be left alone to meditate and contemplate on his past mistakes in peace believing that he is the only one that's left of his whole clan

And since he's living in isolation he doesn't hear about wwx's return or the downfall of JGY or the fact that WN is alive and then one day he meet LSZ on some night hunt and he immediately recognizes his youngest child that he thought was dead years ago but he has no proof and LSZ evades all questions about his birth so WRH decides to investigate and finds out WN is alive and goes to find him and when he does WN reveals everything

I suppose LSZ's reaction at 1st would be hostile to WRH, he would refuse to even recognize him as his father, which would be normal but eventually LSZ comes to term with it and starts to accept him

Meanwhile wangxian are shocked at 1st but then very protective of LSZ because they don't trust WRH but ultimately they will respect LSZ's choice if he wants a relationship with his birth father

I'm thinking wangxian and WRH eventually reach an agreement to not try to kill each other and let bygones be bygones for LSZ's sake but that doesn't mean they will get along

In fact this starts a rivalry between WX and WRH. On one side WRH is jealous that wangxian (especially lwj) are the ones that raised his son and thus they're the ones who know him best they're the ones he goes to for comfort when in pain they're the ones he sees as a role model... Etc meanwhile wangxian are jealous that WRH shares something with LSZ that they can never have, the bond of blood, they also feel that WRH tries to encroach on their territory and that he's trying to draw LSZ away from them and the Lans so they don't trust him at all.

So the 3 of them are extremely passive aggressive and petty to each other especially behind LSZ's back, the juniors even dub it "the war of the dads" and start a betting pool on whose going to win

This goes on until LSZ falls into some grave danger and wangxian and WRH have to work together to help him and they eventually end up realizing that they all care for him the same way and only want him to be safe and happy and so they learn to coexist

Lan Sizhui has never been hostile to anyone in his life, but he decides his first victim will be this sad and lonely hermit who committed the crime of *checks notes* being a Wen?? lol

My feelings on Wangxian+son and the erasure of the Wen Remnants as also being Wen Yuan's family aside, so long as Lan Sizhui looks at Wen Ruohan and eventually says, "Hello... Dad," with his nerves all in bundles and choked with emotion, I can roll with this! Wen Ruohan coming in post-canon to shake things up and Lan Sizhui getting more Wen fam is a lot of fun!

Also just imagine Wei Wuxian having flashbacks to this moment:

Wen Yuan immediately shook his head, whispering, "…I won't go… I still want Granny."

Wei WuXian pressed, "You want Granny, but not me?"

Wen Yuan pleased, "I do. I want Brother Xian too.” He messed with his fingers, counting one by one, “And I want Brother Rich, Sister A-Qing, Brother Ning, Uncle Four, Uncle Six…"

Wei WuXian tossed the butterfly back onto his head, "That's enough, that's enough. I'm gonna be drowned amongst all the people." (ch 75, ERS)

Wei Wuxian just cannot become Wen Yuan/Lan Sizhui's favorite!? Because even once all the Wen are dead, they are now coming back to life apparently, just like he did lmao

An alternative thought I have on all this is based on how Wen Ruohan had Wen Zhuliu protect Wen Chao, which makes me struggle to see Wen Ruohan being confrontational towards Lan Wangji for, essentially, protecting and caring for Wen Yuan. I know it's less dramatic than a big comedic family feud, but I personally find it more compelling to have a situation where Wen Ruohan might feel indebted to Lan Wangji.

(Wen Ruohan and Wei Wuxian's situation would be far more rocky considering Wei Wuxian hunted Wen for sport for three years and rumor has it that the Wen Remnants were Wei Wuxian's slaves/servants lol But Wei Wuxian still saved a group of them all the same!! Or tried to save them...)

Which is to say the real hostility in all this would might come from the Lan Sect and the Lan Sect rules. In the Iron Hook extras, Lan Sizhui can't even admit he's scared because it goes against the Lan Sect rules, and he fears being punished by Lan Wangji if he confesses to it. Imagine Wen Ruohan's alarm, to hear that his happy and lovable and playful child was stifled to such a degree!

Wen Ruohan, "Thank you for protecting and raising A-Yuan, but also Xu-er might have had a point about burning this place to the ground. No child should ever have to live here."

(But at least Wen Yuan had a chance to live!)

Although we should really consider a post-conclusion where it's Granny Wen that Lan Sizhui remembers and loves the most LOL

#HOW does one send an ask this long #the last one i tried to send limited me to like 100 characters lmao #i don't have a problem with long asks i'm just impressed #mdzs thoughts #asked from above #anon #wangxian+son #wrh & wy #this is a pro granny wen blog

Mo Dao Zu Shi Donghua S1, Eps 8 - 15 (spoilers)

Well I feel emotionally devastated all over again. I. CRIED. SO. MUCH. Again. The whole Lotus Pier/Jiang fam tragedy just kills me. Heartbreaking no matter what format it's in.

Once again, there were scenes that were slightly different from the live action that I liked. Overall, the donghua still wins in terms of action scenes and special effects...kinda makes me sad the live action didn't have a bigger budget to successfully pull off big events like the Sunshot Campaign in an impressive way. Not to mention, those large moments just feels like they're constructed better...there's no awkward pacing and the camera work is simply flawless. Doesn't make me love the Untamed any less, but it does make me really appreciate the donghua. What am I saying, I pretty much love it completely now.

Ep8: actually seeing the Cloud Recesses burn down totally caught me off guard. I teared up. It was bad enough in the drama seeing the bodies of all those dead Lan Sect disciples all over the grounds and then hearing later that it was partially burned down, but watching it go down in flames like this was simply gut-wrenching.

Ep8: this moment was unique to the donghua and man was it harsh: Wen Zhuliu just shattered this poor kid's golden core because he wouldn't turn in his sword. Made me pretty much hate this version of the character so much more than his counterpart in The Untamed.

Ep9: the WangXian quotient in the donghua's Xuanwu cave scenes totally paled in comparison to the CQL's adaptation, imho. except for this tiny moment when Lan Zhan applied the medicinal herbs directly onto Wei Ying's brand. Hurray for bare skin contact!

Ep11: This is pretty much when my tears started flowing and they didn't let up for quite a while. I'm so glad they got to fight together like a family before it was all over. Madame Yu was fucking amazing. I still miss her...all versions of her.

Ep12: ok, apologies to live action Wen Qing, but after seeing the donghua version of her make her first appearance, I gotta say, all the time they spent in the drama developing her character felt like a waste now because this Wen Qing made so much more of an impression in the short minutes she was on screen than drama Wen Qing ever was able to for the most part. I think Team CQL did her character a huge injustice by completely watering her down in the drama. It's a shame too cuz I think Meng Ziyi, the actress portraying her, totally could have pulled off a tough AF performance and made all of us love her as much as we did her novel counterpart. Drama Wen Qing was sweet and sympathetic and you felt bad for her, but novel and donghua Wen Qing is someone who demanded your respect and could've easily lead a sect of her own cuz she's so capable and awesome. I wish The Untamed kept this version of her, even if it meant we wouldn't have met her until after the fall of Yunmeng Jiang sect.

Ep13: Lan Zhan being worried about Wei Ying during his missing period (while he was dumped into Burial Mounds by Wen Chao). I really appreciated the addition of this moment where he finds WWX's sword charm and we can see he's really worried about him. So sweet.

Ep15: the way our beloved Yiling Patriarch first appears is different from the live action and novel, but I pretty much love all the versions. All of them were sexy as hell and made my knees go weak.

Ep15: And my heart still hurt for this lovesick puppy in all the versions when he got rejected by Wei Ying (altho Jiang Cheng technically did the rejecting here on his bro's behalf). His quivering lips were an especially good touch. Poor baby.

When they jumped back to the present right after Wei Ying's Yiling Patriarch made his debut, I was actually disappointed. Kinda made me appreciate the live action's chronological order more cuz that mechanism actually drove me a little crazy at times while I was reading the novel.

I am ready for the second season now...where more pain awaits. I'm a little glad I'm back to waiting for episodes to be released so at least the heartache can be doled out in smaller doses. Still unbearable, but a bit more manageable.
