Does Wei Wuxian ever cause trouble tho? I see everywhere in fics or otherwise where he is criticised for so but I don’t think he ever does? He’s playful, yes, he’s lively and friendly, yes, but troublesome? annoying? I don’t think anyone other than Lan Qiren (who doesn’t like anyone breaking even smallest of rules) Jiang Wanyin (jealousy issues ahem) and Yu Ziyuan (again jealously issues) no one really calls Wei Wuxian annoying? (well that and other people like Wen Chao who mind Wei Wuxian thwarting their evil plots lol)
In fact they quite enjoy his company? He’s literally the popular kid among his peers, the one that brings smiles to their faces?
He’s soft and kind to Wen Ning who was so shy and nervous and encourages him to stand up for himself, and takes his side in front of everyone else? Wen Ning in turn saves his and his martial brothers lives when they’re on the run, and shelters them?
And based on that kindness of his towards her younger brother (and also because Wen Ning encouraged her and she’s a just person) she risks her entire families lives to save Wei Wuxian and his brother? In turn Wei Wuxian later on saves their family?
Luo Qingyang also known as Mian Mian, Wei Wuxian saves her from her face being burned horribly, who later on stands up for him in front of the cultivational world and leaves her hard earned position because she refuses to be part of condemnation of an innocent man, one who saved her life, and later on the two meet, needless to say things are good between them.
Nie Huaisang and Wei Wuxian are on friendly terms, Wei Wuxian is his friend who doesn’t pressure him to be someone he’s not, instead compliments him and cause mischief together (said mischief being innocent actions of children not something ‘shameful’ that ‘brings bad attention to the sect’ none of that!). Nie Huaisang is one of the people who doesn’t see status while talking to people, enjoy’s the freedom that Wei Wuxian brings and later on brings Wei Wuxian back to life (though also fuelled by his revenge)
Lan Wangji well, 33 whips, committing treason do i need to say more. (that its a whole another essay that’s gonna be written another time) all that needs to be said is Lan Wangji adores him and loves him unconditionally (something Wei Wuxian needs thank you) and Wei Wuxian too, loves him back with all the love,
The juniors who include Lan Sizhui (Wen Yuan), Lan Jingyi, Jin Ling,and Ouyang Zizhen, all of who deeply care for Wei Wuxian, all of them appreciate Wei Wuxian’s guidance and loved him;
Wen Remnants as a whole are found family for Wei Wuxian, they care for him and he cares for them, like a family, they love each other. Wen Ning, Wen Qing, A-yuan, Granny Wen, Uncle four, all the uncles and aunts love him, and he loves them back.
None of the people who Wei Wuxian is close to and loves and who love him back find him “annoying or troublesome” at all, they enjoy his lively nature, it puts them at ease, they can easily communicate with him and he with them, sooo the notion of anyone being annoyed by him in general isn’t true unless you’re talking about the whole ‘worried because they know Wei Wuxian would put himself into risk for them and may end up hurting himself’ for which they might try to offer him comfort and bandage his wounds, but never scold him because they ARE grateful for him saving them, if he hadn’t they would be heavily injured or dead or worse.
They love him, if he throws himself in front of a car to save a child, they will be worried for him yes, they will scold him to take care of himself, they will never demean him or tell him ‘you shouldn’t have saved the child’ because they know he was in the right, what should he have done?
So when I come across any of the fanon writing any of Wei Wuxians loved ones (other than canonically abusive characters like Yu Ziyuan or Wen Chao) being degrading or abusive towards him (even the narrative being like its fine to do so), its so irritating like No! These are people who would fight for Wei Wuxian! Not insult him! They absolutely love him okay.
Why is Wei Wuxian considered to always cause ‘trouble’ when the so called ‘trouble’ is a carefully calculated action that only harms himself (not his family or his sect, just himself)and saves other people (people who are grateful to him) causing ‘trouble’ implies he doesn't care about others, he cares, ‘trouble’ implies he causes others problems, he doesn't, why did this become such a far spread fanon anyway?
