Ok the MDZS audio drama just DESTROYED ME. I’ve been putting off listening to the end for…IDEK emotional reasons. But I needed something to knit to so I started ep 3x13. And…
THE DRAMATIZED VERSION OF LAN WANGJI SAVING WEI WUXIAN FROM NIGHTLESS CITY, CONFRONTING THE ELDERS, AND HIS PUNISHMENT.
HOLY FUCK. They came for all of our lives like that.
And, Lan Xichen getting so FUCKING ANGRY with Wei Wuxian for not realizing Lan Wangji’s feelings, like, I’m sorry, I JUST watched the end of CQL and it doesn’t come close to touching this. Novel canon, with the explicit acknowledgement of the romance, is SO MUCH STRONGER for it. Wei Wuxian panicking, desperate to make it right, once he learns everything Lan Wangji did for him, everything he feels for him. OMG. I can’t. I’m ded of feels.
Help.
The audio drama is HONESTLY the most flawless version of canon. I mean, look I love Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and everyone from CQL, I do. But you cannot beat the way things were meant to play out, without censorship interfering. I’m deeply grateful for what CQL gave us, but it could have been SO MUCH.
