Post-canon Wei ying’s dynamic with the juniors is so funny to me bcs these kids do not understand how terrifying this man is. They’re like “oh Wei wuxian yeah he’s a fucking idiot” meanwhile everybody older than them remembers him slaughtering thousands and commanding an army of ghosts against the Wens. Everyone who was older remembers that he was the only reason they won the sunshot campaign.
And I think it would be so funny the moment that some mission goes south and Wei Ying has to take control of the situation in order to save them and be actually fights for the first time in front of them.
These kids would be like bro tf as the silly guy they all these suddenly exploded with resentful energy - like we know he can control the energy itself in a combative way (eg. He spears wen chao and wen zhuliu in the show), so he’s like tearing these enemies apart and the juniors are just watching.
And then at the end he turns around and his eyes are still red and chenqing is in his hands and they’re all just staring at him in bewilderment. Ofc (being the idiot he is) Wei Ying immediately freaks outs and assumes they’re all disgusted by him.
That is until Jingyi crashes out and was like “THAT WAS SO COOL WHAT THE HELL” and Jin Ling is just mad that he always makes them fight when he can obviously hand himself. Wei Ying is dumbfounded for a sec but then he’s really happy because he was so scared for a sec there.
The juniors are Wei Yings number one fans nobody can convince me otherwise.
