team overthinking simple situations

i dont know what this is, is this blogging?

[alyona11]

Idk I just find the idea of wwx just talking non-stop around lwj because he is so comfortable very endearing.

He just loves to yap and know that lwj is listening attentively.

[aiicheerios]

wwx: you take that back right now! we’re only friends!

lwj, internally: what. Wait no- WHAT?? What do you mean? I held you in my arms- princess style, BRIDAL STYLE!! I thought things were… no..

lwj: :C

wwx, internally: NOW look what you did! He’s so upset at your words he’s shaking! Don’t worry Lan Zhan, I’ll defend your honor! >:c

[aiicheerios]

had to start this off with look I know this story starts with them going “HELL YEAH THE BITCH DEAD!!” this is nothing new but the wicked parallels I know this story has just made me read that line the same way

[aiicheerios]

end of chapter 1: and he is dead and won’t be returning

chapter 2:

[aiicheerios]

“Oh man he’s not just a loon he’s a gay loon!”

yeah ok, pot-kettle there buddy this comments gonna age like milk

[aiicheerios]

I knew it got censored but the way wwx latching onto the fact this man who’s body he now has was gay and leaning into it just as much if not more than the lunatic allegations makes it so much funnier fr weaponized homosexuality

[aiicheerios]

Wait I never actually thought about this, this isn’t in either adaptation I think- he WOULD get rid of the evidence of the ritual that resurrected him ofc that’s so weird they don’t even mention that in either adaptation

[aiicheerios]

Why did no one tell me bichen was basically a crystal sword

Light colored eyes lwj is a concept never seen once somehow

”he looks like he’s mourning his wife” WELL NOT ANYMORE

[aiicheerios]

I heard lwj hardly talks in the book so I may do a counter for how many lines he has to see just how true that is

….ok this was supposed to be a bit but he seriously didn’t talk this whole scene yet what

[aiicheerios]

say what you will about jc, he spoils his nephew however he’s able even if he talks to him harshly

[aiicheerios]

I know it’s shortened to fit most of this in one or two eps in the adaptations but reading it makes book wwx sound so much better at avoiding everyone he knew and even then that’s not saying much

lwj line count: 2

[aiicheerios]

punching the ground repeatedly- I knew he played wangxian but what do you MEAN IT WAS INSTINCTIVE WHEN HE HAD TO THINK OF A CALMING TUNE

[aiicheerios]

wwx used weaponized homophobia and insecurity against jc- it was super effective!

wwx used weaponized homophobia and annoy against lwj- it backfired horribly!

lwj line count:4

lwj … count: 1

[aiicheerios]

this is so funny- i know im going through this slow but whatever this is exactly what i was looking forward to reading it seeing what was kept out of adaptations and this whole bit of wwx trying to get the jade oken to leave cloud recesses only to end up having several gay thoughts about lwj AND get stuck in bed with him bc he dont understand what happened to his reserved friend to be ok with this now while said friend is no doubt having his own time processing his love isnt dead and is now just in his room in his bed with him now

and seeing wwx just wondering f happening and seeing how he thought oh we werent even close in reality when man was YEARNING for him so hard he risked it ALL FOR YOU

“It’s not like I’m gonna marry into this family why do I need to know all these rules!”

You’re gonna need this wwx

[aiicheerios]

I was so caught up in the flashback I totally forgot he was asleep paralyzed laying on top of lwj

lwj line counter: 71

lwj … counter: 1

[aiicheerios]

wwx happily going yayyy~ we’re gonna elope off the mountain! ❤️ meanwhile that’s been on lwj’s vision board since he was 16

Lwj line counter: 74

Lwj … counter: 2

[aiicheerios]

Idk if this was me misremembering or a translation error or if offscreen he just had a birthday but isn’t Jin Ling supposed to be 14? Why’s it saying he’s 15 now? While wangxian was out solving a mystery did they just throw a party for him only to soon after get swallowed up by the man eating castle??

also side note it’s so sad he had the need to run from lwj fearing for his dog’s life like this kids lost enough don’t take his spiritual buppy too!

Lwj line counter: 91

Lwj … counter: 2

[aiicheerios]

The dread that sank in realizing the promise jc is probably talking about is how wwx said he’d be by his side as his subordinate 😬

beside that tho man it sounds like he really just gave up trying to convince jc he’s not wwx

Lwj line counter: 95

Lwj … counter: 2

[aiicheerios]

I had to make a note of this bc I’d been doing the lwj line counter but no way line 100 from him is “Do not go…”

the year we here man. And now wwx knows both people know for sure who he is even if he’s trying to deny it

Lwj line counter: 100

Lwj … counter: 2

[aiicheerios]

Maybe this was just me never fully understanding from the untamed and the donghua but I’m understanding way more from the novel why nhs is like this beyond he just doesn’t like cultivating like yeah! If my family had an extensive history of getting fatal anger issues bc they wanted to cultivate in a specific way I wouldn’t wanna do that either!! Let him just have his fans and porn books in peace!

Lwj line counter: 111

Lwj … counter: 3

[aiicheerios]

I don’t care if I’m supposed to read this otherwise, lwj standing there arms crossed with his sword im just imagining him pouting so hard wwx can’t even process that’s what he’s seeing from him

Lwj line counter: 147

Lwj … counter: 3

[aiicheerios]

so heres the thing

i actually already knew about this excerpt bc someone posted a screenshot of this bit

does NOT lessen the feeling when wwx goes "mine? ohhh- yeah i have your sword thats why you said that lol"

lwj line counter: 164 lwj ... counter: 3

[aiicheerios]

you’ve gotta be kidding me

At this point there’s nothing I can even say what the hell man…

“Oh wow why does thinking of him make me so happy?”🙃

Lwj line counter: 175

Lwj … counter: 5

[aiicheerios]

lwj spending the entire time waiting for wwx to end his conversation and come back just kicking a rock and that’s where all the focus of this scene is until wwx comes back and even that’s just barely before lwj was about to head over is just insane he’s like a puppy or a little kid

Lwj line counter: 183

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

wwx you would’ve been the best substitute teacher…

he really got in charge of these juniors and immediately went “ok kids line up! Buddy system! Or else we’re gonna die!”

and the made them basically do this

Lwj line counter: 194

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

wwx’s slow realization that lwj been spoiling him, not caring bout him grabbing his money, drinking with him, ordering the unholy red hot spice bomb dishes all for him(and even eating some of it himself occasionally) and still wondering “wow why does thinking bout him make me so happy?”

be for REAL man…

Lwj line counter: 205

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

Oh the return of drunkji…

I keep thinking of that one post saying the forehead ribbon is to hide the Lans ginormous foreheads and just picturing wwx trying to hold back laughing in lwjs face once he takes the ribbon off

besides that tho rip ljy you know he’s gonna get yelled at for getting chicken wing sauce on him white robes

Lwj line counter: 207

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

HUH??!!!!

OK LISTEN I KINDA FIGURED THERES BE SOME GAY SHIT AT THIS PART THAT GOT TAKEN OUT FROM THE ADAPTATIONS BUT I WAS EXPECTING LWJ TO BE THE ONE MAKING THE MOVE FOR A KISS- NOT WWX

how you gonna no homo your way outta that one man?? I KNOW he’s gonna play it off even as that kiss lives rent free in his mind but HOW

Lwj line counter: 210

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

Ok I’m gonna say this now, either this was a bit of a less important arc in all to the plot or there was something gay going on in this bit (or I’m having my own wwx moment and don’t remember it) bc I don’t remember this whole poetry flower garden place in the donghua or the untamed the only time I remember it being mentioned was in the chibi series with nhs doing it perfectly and wwx getting attacked by the flower spirit

Lwj line counter: 218

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

nothing has betrayed me in the adaptation pipeline than finding out that the paper doll wwx wasn’t some gingerbread looking thing it’s actually more like

Like what do you MEAN

Lwj line counter: 235

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

The funniest part about wwx slowly having the realization he’s catching (been long since caught lbr) feelings for lwj is just how damn often after he starts to really get closer to realizing it how often he internally brings up lwj in situations that had nearly NOTHING to do with him

lxc is talking? Oh wow lwj doesn’t talk as much but that’s ok, I talk enough for both of us and he’s a really good listener c:

nmj commenting about lwj’s skills? Hell yeah! As he should! He’s so cool and talented c:

I’m stuck to a disembodied head in the most vulnerable fashion possible and am in very real danger if I can’t fix it? Man I wonder if lwj knows I’m not doing so hot now :c

Lwj line counter: 235

Lwj … counter: 7

[aiicheerios]

this always happens with me but I hate these scenes where a character gets their treasures destroyed esp by people they’re supposed to trust

it’s hard to watch it hurts like it’s supposed to which means it’s effective and the reaction of the person this happens to says a certain bit bout them but man considering what happens later really shows man had plenty of reasons to not do what he does and chose violence

I’m not saying he shouldn’t have I’m just saying yeah no despite what we see in this flashback, in the end he really did loved his brother

[aiicheerios]

DAMN OK LWJ just went full-

On him huh??

WAIT I FORGOT HES SHIRTLESS TOO- HE REALLY JUST SUNK INTO THAT MANS BARE ELBOW

Lwj line counter: 266

Lwj … counter: 8

[aiicheerios]

AND WERE BACK AT IT AGAIN- wow it’s been this long since I added to this? Dang con be doing that to ya, anyway-

gotta love how they see wwx, previously missing possibly dead, and once things start getting dicey lwj immediately goes to protect his mans(he just got him back even if he might be a lil twisted now he’s HERE- like hell he’s losing him now) and then theres jc turning wzl into a damn piñata with zidian

Lwj line counter: 316

Lwj … counter: 8

[aiicheerios]

wn being so polite to the dismembered corpses while trying to bury them just “if I put your bits in the wrong place please forgive me😔” best. Still my fave character

Lwj line counter: 379

Lwj … counter: 9

[aiicheerios]

yes wwx asking your friend if they plan to retire and then having a detailed and extensive plan on what you’d both do together in that scenario including living and having meals together is very normal best bro behavior

he wants him so bad it makes him look stupid man…

Lwj line counter: 382

Lwj … counter: 9

[aiicheerios]

I knew there was a blindfolded kiss scene I missed out on but man he really saw the opportunity and just RAN with it huh?

I just know in the time it took wwx to recover from that to take the blindfold off he looked absolutely WRECKED

aaaaaaand lwj’s reaction was to go tree punching ok damn you did this my guy

Lwj line counter: 394

Lwj … counter: 11

[aiicheerios]

I think I’m starting to slow down a little reading knowing I’m coming up to the end (not including extras)

but man the way these juniors scattered the second they realized wangxian were having a moment is too funny

Lwj line counter: 482

Lwj … counter: 14

[aiicheerios]

oh and that’s a DEVASTATING blow for lwj!

wwx thinking he’s defending his man’s honor but in reality just did the most brutal friendzoning of said man’s LIFE
