Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people

No no you don't understand! I want to watch this show/movie, read this book, listen to this podcast, etc.! But I must be in the right mindset and the exact head space to begin, or I just can't!

I have this theory that Jiang Cheng calls his older brother Wei Wuxian in general because it’s the name that he got given by the Jiang. (Hence a-Xian from both Jiang Fengmian & Jiang Yanli and on one occasion even Jiang Cheng!) but also maybe this is the only way they can have a version of their actual older/younger relationship even though Wei Wuxian never goes as far as a-Cheng. I think he might call him Jiang Wanyin when he’s scolding him after he insults Lan Wangji at Lotus Pier but that always registered to me as a YOU ARE IN TROUBLE YOUNG MAN - I suppose it could also be read as establishing formality.

BUT this also made me think how Madam Yu is the only member of his family who calls him Wei Ying. (Does Jiang Fengmian call him a-Ying when he’s saying goodbye to them on the boat, no longer even pretending to himself that Wei Wuxian counts as his son?). And people outside his family use it to belittle him.

How nice it must be to have this name his parents gave him used by Lan Wangji with the most love.

I also sometimes wonder if Madam Yu chose “Wuxian” for him and then never used it as a sign she didn’t think he’d earned it. No envies: a warning that was never needed. How ironic would that be? But Jiang Fengmian works too: a promise that Wei Wuxian decided to spend his whole life living up to. Because of course he did.

Ugh I love them so much. (Not Jiang Fengmian, he sucks. But everyone else. Even Madam Yu. Fight me.)

why do you think it's so common for writers to insert themselves into their stories?

I don't know.
