Fandom misconception - "Wei Wuxian has an awful memory"

No. No, he doesn't. He has a selective memory that is impeccable when it is something that actually interests him. He only forgets things if they are unimportant to him - like who the hell Su She and Jin Zixun are lmao. But things he finds interesting? Like LWJ for instance...? He can remember every single instance they met some 18 years prior - having been dead for over 13 of those years, no less!

Yes, he (mostly) forgot where he heard what we know as Wangxian from, but he was feverish and slipping out of consciousness at the time. Yes, he forgot that LWJ saved him and protected him after Nightless City, but he was traumatised and physically drained.

WWX only forgets things during rather extenuating circumstances or due to trauma. Otherwise, his memory is actually impeccable. He remembers the melody he heard JGY play once (or twice?) during his forced empathy with NMJs decapitated head! Able to recall the song and play it note for note a few days later, after being out of it from being stabbed! He actually remembers the 'Hundred Holes' curse from glancing at it in a random book once in the Lan library some 5 years prior to seeing JZX2 riddled with holes.

He remembers every single exchange he had with LWJ during their teens. He remembers that LWJ paid for the food and A-Yuans toys during their impromptu Yiling date. He remembers the way the candlelight made LWJ's long lashes cast delicate shadows over his fair cheeks back when he was transcribing lines back at the Cloud Recesses!

WWX's memory is actually really, really impressive! He just doesn't hold onto useless facts, just as he doesn't hold onto resentment.

I love chenqing. fuckass evil flute that everyone hates. somehow considered more dangerous than the literal magic swords everyone else has. supposedly made of bamboo but wei wuxian was out there whacking people with it on the battlefield. it's a vessel to channel dark and fucked up magic, but it was also a toddler's favorite teething toy. it's great.

Lan Wangji: Jiang Wanyin, I’m asking permission to marry your brother.

Jiang Cheng: What is this, the dark ages? Since you asked, no you can’t. Beat me in a duel first.

[tuawoonwai8]

wei wuxian you have to stop. your robe too black. your hair too divine, your “i can control this evil power but also i’m losing it” swag too different. they will kill you.

Wei Wuxian's first meeting with teenage Jin Ling just gets funnier every time. Especially because, by this point, he should have a rough idea of how long it's been since he died, and he immediately recognizes Jin Ling as a member of the Jin Sect, clearly an important one if he's bossing other people around and spending absurd amounts of money on spiritual nets. If Wei Wuxian had spent A SINGLE MINUTE actively trying to guess this kid's identity, he probably could have worked out that this kid has a high chance of being his nephew.

But Wei Wuxian does not take the time (thirty seconds! WWX, you could have made an educated guess!) to figure out this kid's specific identity! He's just been wrestling with an incredibly stubborn donkey all day and he's probably hangry again because they had to share an apple. He just thinks to himself, "Wow, this Jin kid is a real spoiled brat," and goes from there!

"Didn't your mother ever teach you any manners?" he says obliviously to JIN LING, his own fucking nephew. When Jin Ling is FAMOUSLY ORPHANED. Like, you could go up to literally anyone on the street and be like, "What happened to that rich kid Jin Ling's parents?" and they would immediately tell you, "Oh, the evil Yiling Patriarch killed them, evilly." Very high chance that no one has ever said anything like this to Jin Ling - extremely rich young master, most famous orphan in the cultivation world, in possession of some very scary uncles - before.

And from Jin Ling's perspective, this outrageous comment is coming from his OWN UNCLE, his late grandfather's bastard son who was kicked out of the sect for being gay and crazy. There is NO WAY that Mo Xuanyu could somehow not know that Jin Ling has no parents, so of course, this has to be an intentional low-blow insult bringing up and disparaging his dead mother. So, of course this brat tries to start a fight! Mo Xuanyu started it with words like that!

And then Wei Wuxian trips him and essentially sits on him (using a talisman), there's the whole "My uncle is going to kill you!" & "Who's your uncle?" exchange, and Jiang Cheng immediately interrupts them. And Wei Wuxian has to do the sudden, incredibly simple, damning mental calculation of: "Jin kid + Jiang Cheng for an uncle = Oh, fuck."

It's funny every single time.

wwx doesn't think lwj understands the concept of april fools, his pranks are so wholesome wwx doesn't think they even qualify as pranks at all he wakes up to lwj's good morning text followed by a yellow heart, instead of the usual blue one

when they meet up in the uni's cafeteria for lunch, lwj hands him a realistic cake in the shape of a bowl of noodles (tho he doesn't let wwx have it until he eats the cake shaped meat pie lwj also brought)

in the afternoon, wwx finds that the book he was gonna go grab from the library was waiting for him on his desk when he stepped into his dorm room

and at the end of the day, when they went out for dinner, wwx's favorite songs were playing softly on the speakers of the restaurant lwj took him to

when lwj takes him home he kisses wwx on the forehead, instead of hugging him like they've been doing so far

"april fools," lwj deadpans

wwx chuckles, trying to ignore the heat rising on his cheeks "er-gege, april fools means tricking people, playing pranks"

lwj blinks at him

"i believe all my actions today were unexpected"

"they were," wwx conceded, "but i mean pranks as in putting salt in my coffee or something"

"i know what pranks are, wei ying, i simply did not wish to do anything unpleasant to you"

wwx's heart all but melts

"aiyo," he cried, "okay okay, it didn't have to be unpleasant," he looks away, "like, you could've given me a real kiss just now," wwx scratches the back of his head "that would've unexpected too"

"mn," lwj agrees, "but i did not want you to think our first kiss was a prank"

"lan zhan!!"

"wei ying, i will not kiss you today because it means too much to me, i do not want to treat it lightly."

"er-gege, you're too much," wwx whines, leaning forward to hide his burning face on lwj chest

lwj hugs him, giving him a comforting pat on the back

"mn"

when wwx looks at him again lwj's lips are slightly curved upwards in a soft smile

"i must go"

"okay, lan zhan," wwx gives him a final peck on the cheek, "goodnight"

"goodnight, wei ying"

lwj turns around and walks a few steps away before looking back

"oh, wei ying, your shoes are untied"

"ah," wwx looks down only to find his converses perfectly tied, he lets out a surprised laugh "you got me, er-gege"

lwj's soft smile seems full of mirth

"good to know"

--

their first kiss is on april second, no joke about that

the end
