Wen Ning is Bae @ghostgeneral00 - Tumblr Blog

“Wei Wuxian licks his fingers clean, unselfconscious in a way that’s infinitely more sexy than his fumbling seduction attempts before, and grabs for a peach, which he scuffs on the breast of Nie Mingjue’s robe before taking a bite that rolls juice down his chin.”

As a massive proponent for more focus on familial relationships in media I am getting fed by MDZS and the Untamed. You’ve got Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, one of the most tragic depictions of two brothers with a complex but strong bond disintegrating into resentment that I have ever seen, of fraternal jealousy and insecurity as a consequence of both being parented badly but in very different ways. Jiang Yanli haunting the narrative.

Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang and the parentification that ends up hurting both them, all that rage that comes from that pressure and need to protect, that vicious loyalty being a given despite it all. Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen having a good but somehow distant relationship that isn’t quite what it ought to be despite the fact they clearly care immensely for each other. Wen Qing and Wen Ning and the doomed nature of it all.

Jin Ling is terrified of his uncle, who’s notoriously short tempered and regularly threatens to break his legs, but is shocked at the notion that he’d ever have struck him because he hasn’t, not once. Wei Wuxian teaching him how to fight bullies and worrying that he doesn’t have friends, after knowing him a few months and getting into physical fights with him most of the times they’ve interacted.

Lan Sizhui. I’m not even getting into it right now but holy fuck.

The love. There’s so much love and they don’t all know it, or want it, but it’s integral to understanding the story that you know it’s always there. This might be fundamentally a romance but it feels like it was written with families very much front and centre and it is breaking my heart.

wei wuxian's foolproof plan of making everyone believe that he is, in fact, not the yiling patriarch:

step 1: pretend to be a gay lunatic (he already was a gay lunatic)

step 2: throw step 1 out of the window as soon as someone disrespects the lan clan (his life-long crush's clan)

step 3: play the flute (the instrument well known as the yiling patriarch's spiritual weapon of choice)

step 4: summon the ghost general (the yiling patriarch's right hand man)

step 5: play a song composed by hanguang-jun that only him and the yiling patriarch have ever heard

step 6: flirt with hanguang-jun (his lifelong crush)

step 7: profit (live happily ever after)

The wider cultivation world's POV on Wangxian is incredibly funny cause on one hand you've got Jin Guangyao treating it like it's his comfort trashy soap opera, while Lan Xichen is well aware what's going on from day one and goes through the full parabolic arc from "oh he has a little crush that's cute" to "he's mourning him like a grieving widow maybe I should hide all the branding irons". The juniors take one look at the whole situation and go "huh I don't know why Lan Wangji is sleeping with this crazy guy we found in a ditch but whatever makes him happy man 👍" Jin Ling finds his uncles so aggressively endearing he is forced to speedrun Unlearning Homophobia and ends up giving Wei Wuxian a shovel talk that starts and ends with "be faithful to him or istg I will kill you with my own two hands." (he is thirteen)

And then there's Jiang Chang. Not only was he blissfully unaware that Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan could even hold a civil conversation with each other, he also somehow went through Wei Wuxian's entire first life thinking that his brother was straight.

DID YOU KNOW that sometimes characters lie. out loud to others and internally to themselves, and it'll happen right there on the page. other times they are just flat out wrong and don't know it. oftentimes they don't ever find that out. a sizable portion of any story is decidedly not cold hard fact.

Idk where the idea of letting the juniors "make their own decisions" and "have complete independence" came from, but that isn't going to happen, and it shouldn't because they're literal children. Lan Wangji was canonically hanging out close enough to descend nobly into the fight as soon as a flare went up. Wen Ning was clinging to the underside of a boat in water. Jiang Cheng literally has Jiang disciples in Jin clothes and he still follows Jin Ling around like an extremely cranky tiger. Postcanon no one is letting the juniors do anything by themselves. Lan Wangji is folding all of himself into a cave an arm-length wide to keep an eye out for flares. Wen Ning is hanging from branches like a big koala. Jiang Cheng is snorkeling all over lakes and rivers. They all know the other two are there but dead clans have nothing on protecting your last remaining family (Lan Wangji is mad mad because he's the odd one out among them). And Wei Wuxian is pretending to be cool so the boys let him tag along. They're all helicopter parents, sorry not sorry.

One of my all-time favorite Jin Ling moments was when he realized that his crazy homo uncle (who may or may not be the Yiling Patriarch) was trying to get with Lan Wangji—one of the only adults Jin Ling actively fears and respects. And after enough Wei Wuxian-specific shenanigans, Jin Ling’s reaction to all this, which had initially been, "cutsleeve? more like cut that shit out," eventually morphed into, "okay this is HANGUANG-JUN, buddy, you cannot fuck around and find out with this one. You gotta LOCK THAT SHIT DOWN if you're going to sleep with a man that famous. Look at me, put a ring on it immediately, he's too good for your slut ass do you hear me—”
