Dw Yan Wushi is right where he wants to be
Taking a nap together 😴
So this was gonna be a somewhat amusing discussion of if Yan Wushi was actually jealous or resentful towards his own personality (xie ling) for gaining Shen Qiao’s affections because I think it’s funny to think about and I never came to the conclusion of whether I think he was legit or if it was just for show and just to tease SQ. However, it got me thinking about deeper implications like about his past and perhaps him holding resentment towards that particular past when he was Xie Ling and whatever caused it. Maybe it could tie into SQ’s favoritism of that part of him like “I’m so superior to who I was in the past and yet he is the one you like?” It makes me wish we got some insight into when Yan Wushi was Xie Ling. But I am definitely overthinking this and dumping it all into your ask because I didn’t know who else to bother with this lol
anon you know exactly why you’re bothering me with this and it’s because this absolutely haunts me on a regular basis
I’ve mentioned off-hand before, buried somewhere in the absolute mess of my 《千秋》 tag, but I really do appreciate Meng Xishi’s decision to leave Yan Wushi’s backstory completely opaque and unknown, unknowable. we don’t know who Yan Wushi had been, what caused him to change, why he is like this--she just offers us the barest, tantalizing hints of who he might have been, who he might have become
(again, another reason why I thought Xie Xiang was going to be like. moderately relevant to the plot? and then he vanished and never showed up again)
Do you think that one of the things that attracted YWS to SQ is also SQ’s quiet confidence? Throughout the story, I don’t think SQ ever doubts his own abilities or feels sorry for himself. He appears to simply accept his injuries and a and just…adjusts to accommodate them and moves onward. Where YWS is all arrogance and showy confidence (and with the firepower to actually back it up), SQ is more like “I really don’t want to fight you but I will wipe the floor with you if you persist”. They are flip sides of the same coin. I think despite what he tells SQ about not qualifying as a rival, YWS did respect SQ’s abilities and tenacity, because he repeatedly tests SQ and chooses to stalk-…ahem, spend time with him. YWS strikes me as someone who loses interest in people quickly, and wouldn’t waste his time on anyone whom he thought was anything less than worthy (scientific experiment or otherwise). I also have cursed thoughts about how Lao Yan hasn’t had sex in a decade when he first encounters this intriguingly resilient and pretty guy. Just sayin’…LMAO
ahaha the hilarious thing is that Yan Wushi explains to Shen Qiao multiple times why he likes him, but the problem is, The Betrayal happened so Shen Qiao is like "hilarious. okay Yan-zongzhu why are you REALLY here" until Yan Wushi is just like 说了你都不信 / I TOLD you and you don't believe me
off the top of my head, there's this moment time in chapter... 78? 79?
...晏无师笑道:“食色性也,人人如此,我的确喜欢你的容貌,却更爱你对我爱答不理的冷淡,这又有什么不好承认的?..."
Yan Wushi laughed and said, "Food and sex are human nature--all people are so. While I am quite fond of your appearance, I love your aloof coolness more. Why shouldn't I admit this?..."
there's definitely another time when Shen Qiao is like 贫道何德何能得到晏宗主如此青睐 / What great virtue or ability does this lowly Daoist have to earn sect leader Yan's favor? but like, in that particular brand of Shen Qiao Deadpan (TM) and Yan Wushi just smiles and goes 你既有德又有能 / On the contrary, you are in possession of both great virtue and ability and it's like okay, okay sir, we get it you're in love but very understandably, Shen Qiao does not get it then
so like, yes, Yan Wushi is rather taken with both Shen Qiao's capability and virtue, determination and persistence, but I think that, despite his occasional lines to the contrary, Yan Wushi is most intrigued by the fact that Shen Qiao is--okay hear me out--a worthy opponent from day one

I just love how tender Yan Wushi was before he hid Shen Qiao away in the Buddha statue. "Become a worthy opponent. Then perhaps this venerable one will deem you worthy of a second look", but he's already swept Shen Qiao up into his arms when Shen Qiao could no longer walk, cushioned Shen Qiao's unconscious body, and then made sure no one would be able to find Shen Qiao, especially Sang Jingxing; which in just the last book Yan Wushi sold Shen Qiao to that man for a sword he didn't even want just to prove a point, because Shen Qiao was polite enough to call the two of them "friends". And it's only when Yan Wushi sees Shen Qiao smile in the next book that the man goes, "hmm, yes, I do think I'm in love."
Me: art is subjective and people are free to interpret it as they please
People: Iason Mink didn’t love Riki the Dark
Me: ok, that’s enough freedom for you, I’m taking your interpretation rights away and sending you to media literacy school.
Volume 2 of Thousand Autumns finished!🍃
I'm ragebaited constantly and Shen Qiao has the patience of a saint.
Lao Yan is a very lucky old man, A-Qiao loves him so much 🤭
:')
Sketches I made while playing the game , I love Connor and I'm happy to experience the game for the first time not knowing anything about the story or characters ,already one of my favorite games!!
AUGH. oh god. shizun, a-qiao is unfilial.... FUCK. oh god. there have been many questionable changes but so far it has been a very enjoyable experience and. fuck. this is a really good one. hello
one must wonder. where the hell did yan wushi find a deer and why did he decide adopt the deer. like. what thought process led him there. "ah yes this deer looks so innocent and guileless just like a-qiao. im going to name them a-qiao also" AND YOU DECIDED ADOPT THE BABY? not surprising but also ???
the thing abt yanshen love confessions is that i dont think they would do that, or at least not in any grand way that we traditionally associate with love, and perhaps it's not even a thing they need to say to each other much, if at all, because to me their relationship kind of exists outside of most definitions of a "traditional" couple
“A-Qiao, if you take too long with the chess piece, I’ll get jealous”
(Not an actual quote from the book, I just wanna draw them being domestic)
a little bit offended that yan wushi genuinely is gorgeous when he's cross-dressing. deeply funny that he hates it but obeys shen qiao because he's xie ling right now LMFAO
its really funny hes reached this far from initially thinking he just wants to corrupt shen qiao. and believes that the intent behind both thoughts are exactly the same. hes played himself so hard LMFAO
