Hi

This is something I have been seeing on my fyp or I just noticed it cuz it annoys me but what do u think of the take “ the lan clan isn’t really much of an upgrade” even though wwx choose to be there? Lwj would never force him to be somewhere he doesn’t wants to be and wwx likes beings there as we see in the extras . Also it always comes with villain lqr even though that old men is more of a comedic relief than anything else

Well given that I call myself a Proud Lan Stan Who Can Read The Book sometimes in my tags, I don't think it'll surprise you too much anon to hear that I don't think much of that take.

While I respect that people can have their own problems and not find the Lan to be appealing, there is a certain take that insists that Wei Wuxian would not like it that tends to ignore anything that Wei Wuxian himself says to the contrary, that insist that he's a lot more bothered by certain interactions than we see on screen and that he would be happier off doing something else; usually starting a farm outside of the Jianghu.

I personally believe that those takes are people forgetting that they are not Wei Wuxian and that he consistently shows an appeal and fondness for the Lan throughout the book, masked as it may be in playful complaining. They inflate the things that would make them miserable, claim that Wei Wuxian could not like it there, usually citing the way that he behaves at Lotus Pier or in the Forsaken Battlegrounds, ignoring all the social and fraught dynamics in both of those places and conclude that MXTX did not know that she was doing when she put them with the Lan.

Lan Qiren is definitely meant to be seen as rather pathetic and powerless in the end; think of what he's reduced to. He has an order that no one obeys that is only mentioned once, he throws tantrums for Wei Wuxian having loud sex that Wangxian's solution is to have more loud sex about and Lan Wangji has taken over teaching in the Lanshi now. Wei Wuxian has always handled in him in the same way since he was a teenager and we get Wei Wuxian's textual feelings on him during the second siege, where we can see that he really is just not concerned about him.

I also do find it funny in how socially secure these people must feel to not recognize the vast difference in Wei Wuxian's positions now that he is a part of the Lan Clan, having gotten married to one of their most respected family members. He is no longer the main enemy of the cultivation world, he is no longer alone, he is no longer of a lower rank that they can besmirch him for. It may not be a blissfully perfect happy ending, but that wouldn't suit Modaozushi anyway. What it is, is an offering of security and quiet, where Wei Wuxian can engage with the jianghu on his own terms and have a place to go that he likes, where he is treated well and no one can really fuck with him because his husband is the head of discipline and the Clan Leader's beloved younger brother. Compared to all that he suffered before in the book, I fail to see how it is "not much of an upgrade".

Thanks for the ask, I do usually try to not get involved in Lan debates since most of the Anti-Lan takes do piss me right the fuck off for how easily they can be refuted with actual text and often contain a fundamental misunderstanding of Wei Wuxian himself.

By all means, you don't have to like them. But don't pretend that Wei Wuxian doesn't. Because that's not true.

I am not your dermatologist. I will not factor your skin color into how I treat you.

This has been a public service announcement.

[lemon-felon]

If y’all wanna argue, expect me to calmly prove myself.

I won’t scream, I won’t get pissed. I’ll try my hardest to be logical, find the facts from reputable sources and have a solid debate. I’m always open to discussion, but don’t expect me to come unprepared.

[southernjonesy]

Just Stop It.

I hate to have to mini-blog it out...but y'all are making me do it.

First, let me commend all of the Animal Behaviorists that exist on social media. Bravo to your ability to be incognito for so long...you sly dogs, you.

Second, even though I do not have the animal training and education that some of you have, I do read a lot, and stay up with current events. I do recall reading a lot of material concerning 'normally sweet, controlled, old, etc etc etc' animals in captivity tearing people's throats out, mauling them, tearing off arms, legs, etc. etc.

Animals are meant to be in the wild, regardless if they are endangered or not; a zoo is not their 'home'. They know the difference. Because their natural habitat is the wild. Their behavior is NEVER predictable.

Ask Roy. Ask the Zookeepers in West Palm Beach. Ask the 'trainers' at Sea World. Ask elephant trainers with the circus (which I HATE a circus...but I digress...).

And quit acting like this gorilla was your mama. I just read where a girl died from a botched circumcision in Egypt. Because that's still a thing. That's a thing that happens in various places all over the world; females being mutilated.

But make this your cause-of-the-week now, convenient 'activists'.

The bottom line is that boy, in the next second, could have been seriously hurt or killed. That's a fact. And if that had happened, all of you social media avengers would be bitching because they didn't kill the gorilla. Also a fact.

And stop the parent-blaming. You weren't there, were you? You have a first hand account of what transpired before the fall? You keep your eyes on your kid every second of every day? Ever 'lost' your kid in a store for a minute? Ever got distracted and the next thing you know, your kid is doing a flip off the couch? Your kid ever fell in your presence? Ever buckle your kid in wrong in a car seat? Ever make any mistakes as a parent? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, and have judged this mother...congratulations, you are a hypocrite. And if you don't have kids and have been Judgey McJudgerson, well, I've got words for you that aren't social media appropriate.

So anyway, that's my take on this whole 'life altering issue'. I hope to quit seeing crap about it soon, which I will, because like all MAJOR social media issues, people will tire of their faux concern and it will fade into viral obscurity (there should be a club for that). I am sorry because of an accident, an animal had to lose its life. I am happy that the boy's life was saved. And as always, I am unhappy with people on the Internet.

So until the next 'hot button issue' grates on my nerves, I leave you with this: http://youtu.be/Ow0lr63y4Mw

Terminally Ill California Mom Speaks Out Against Assisted Suicide

Stephanie Packer's debilitating illnesses leave her in a lot of pain. But she is opposed to a California bill that would legalize physician-assisted suicide.

I will never understand the “because I don’t believe in something, no one should get to have it!” philosophy. I hate cheesecake-- I HATE it, it takes two wonderful things, cheese and cake, and makes them both worse-- but I live perfectly happily in a world where other people enjoy cheesecake. I don’t partake myself-- even when my awesome aunt assures me that I will like HER cheesecake-- but I am totally cool with other people liking it, EVEN LOVING IT. And I am still able to enjoy both cheese and cake, though I know that they have been bastardized into cheesecake.

I don’t understand how people can’t have that same philosophy (otherwise known as Amy Poehler’s good for her, not for me credo) about many other hot button issues-- abortion, birth control, gay marriage, assisted suicide. How does someone ELSE having the right to partake of any of these change your enjoyment of your thing? My “traditional” marriage is just fine even though my friend Greg married his boyfriend XiongXiong (y’all, it was so cute-- they said their vows in the other’s native language). My fetus is not harmed by another woman having an abortion, and my years of birth control use did not seem to have any impact on Michelle Duggar having 19 children. And though I, kinahora, tell Adam often what I would want to happen if I had a terminal disease, it does not mean that someone else would have to go by my plans. 

All those choices are mine, and don’t affect anyone else. Sometimes you want the cheesecake, sometimes you just want cheese or cake, but they can coexist without bothering each other.
