junior quartet text post < >

[panther-os]

As a follow-up to Junior Quartet Heightcanons, here is Junior Quartet Agecanons (with birthdays!):

Sizhui's canon birthday is January 12th and to me he's the oldest.

Lan Jingyi's canon birthday is August 24th, and since Sizhui's birthday is typically before the Lunar New Year, he's technically a year younger than Sizhui but by American counting also the same age.

Ouyang Zizhen does not have a canon birthday, but I read somewhere that for characters without birthdays it's supposed to be the release date of the chapter in which they first appeared? That makes his birthday August 10th, and I would say he's a year younger than Jingyi, technically two years younger than Sizhui.

Jin Ling's canon birthday is November 21st and we know he was born when Sizhui was 3-4, I prefer 3 almost 4. So he's four years (3 years 10 months) younger than Sizhui, technically three years younger than Jingyi, and two years younger than Zizhen.

This makes Zizhen the middlest child of the four (two years younger than the oldest, two years older than the youngest), which explains why people always forget about him. 😂

So in fics using the 13 year gap between Wei Wuxian's death and resurrection (which are most of mine), this would make the ages in the present 17 (Sizhui), 16/17 (Jingyi), 15 (Zizhen) and 13 (Jin Ling).

In fics using the 16 year gap from cql, the ages are 20 (Sizhui), 19/20 (Jingyi), 18 (Zizhen), and 16 (Jin Ling).

For those wondering about Sizhui's age being 4 when Wei Wuxian died, even though I said 3 years 10 months for when Jin Ling was born.... It depends on whether you think Wei Wuxian was going to Jin Ling's 1 month or 100 day celebration. If it was his 1 month, Sizhui was still 3. If it was his 100 day, that's a little over three months, so Sizhui was 4 by then. Personally, I usually go by the 100 day so that's how the present ages are calculated!

Please don't fight about which canon is "correct" in the notes, this post is not about that. This post is about having fun regardless of what canon does or doesn't say.

In a fight...right?

"You guys are all wrong!" Jingyi argues as he bites into a piece of chicken. "Hanguang-Jun is stronger. He's the strongest."

Ouyang Zizhen pours himself a cup of wine, "Senior Wei can use two types of cultivation. And the Ghost General. With all due respect, he solos."

"I gotta agree with Zizhen on this one." Jin Ling says as he helps himself to dessert, "Da-jiu may act like a whiny defenseless twink most of the time, but he's literally the Yiling Laozu. Like, I refuse to think some loser killed my parents."

"Jin Ling!"

"What. It's my trauma, I can joke about it."

"Anyways," Jingyi interjects, breaking the awkward moment, "What do you think, Sizhui?"

"That's like asking him which of his parents he loves more." Zizhen says as he smacks Jingyi with his newly acquired fan.

"It's alright, Zizhen, I think it's-"

"What're you guys arguing so loudly about?" Wei Wuxian asks as he and Lan Wangji finally arrive at the inn after a talk with the local cultivation sect. They've been gathering information for the night hunt the whole day, and they're finally tired enough to call it a night and relax.

"We're trying to decide who's stronger between you and Hanguang-Jun." Jingyi responds as he steals the pastry from Jin Ling's hand. "I think it's Hanguang-Jun."

"And me and Zizhen think it's you." Jin Ling adds, signaling for a waiter to bring more sweets. "What do you think?"

"Hm, well, we all here know how incredibly powerful our Hanguang-Jun is... but," and he smiles in a way that has Lan Wangji reaching for the wine, "I'm not so bad myself. I can take him."

Sizhui hands Lan Wangji the bottle and opens one for himself.

"In a fight? I bet that would be interesting to see." Jingyi says, but notices the sudden silence over everybody else at the table and the fact that both Hanguang-Jun and Lan Sizhui have taken a shot at the same time. "What? Senior Wei meant in a fight, obviously."

Wei Wuxian does a poor job hiding his laughter, Zizhen is so red he looks like a New Years' ornament, and Jin Ling is mumbling some 'why couldn't I have normal uncles'.

"Senior Wei, in a fight, right?"

"It is a fight...in a way..."

"Sizhui, pass me the bottle."

[mdzsincorrectquotes]

Wei Wuxian: *silently walks into room to find the juniors deep in conversation*

Lan Sizhui: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous.

Lan Jingyi: What if it bites me and it dies?

Jin Ling: Then you’re poisonous, you idiot. Weren't you listening?

Ouyang Zizhen: What if it bites itself and I die?

Lan Sizhui: That’s a curse.

Lan Jingyi: What if it bites me and someone else dies?

Lan Sizhui: That’s correlation, not causation.

Ouyang Zizhen: What if we bite each other and neither of us die?

Wei Wuxian: That’s kinky!

Juniors: *startled screaming*

[meimei-bunnie]

the fact that Zizhen does not have an actual canon appearance means that I can basically go crazy with whatever I want and I choose to make him everything round and heart shaped because he's just a lovely cute person in my head who you do not want to hurt ❤️

(I cannot fcking draw consistently and i HATE that because sometimes my zz turns out SO CUTE and then other times he just comes out... wrong. off. like someone else. UGHHHH)
