#poor lan xichen

I had literally never given much thought to Jin Guangyao before, except for the fact that the man has had all the audacity and more–

But as I am mostly done with the second book, I feel a burning hatred towards him.

How fucking dare he? Who the fuck does he think he is?

His heart is a nasty, shriveled, and blackened piece of useless coal because how does he bite the hand that reached out to him and held him up when he was nothing?

He truly had no shame, absolutely none, and neither did he have a human soul because what he did to Nie Mingjue was sickening. I can't stand him. I would personally like nothing more than to run a sword through him, then rip him apart.

MDZS ENDING SPOILERS

Thinking of how Lan Xichen had to be the version of Lan Wangji that looked his 'Wei Ying' in the eye and killed him. It's not easy being the parallel character to your own brother, knowing he gets his happy ending but you cannot. It broke him. Especially when you realise, if he could control the situation, Lan Xichen would never kill Jin Guangyao. He'd rather punish him in a way that would keep him alive. He would forgive Jin Guangyao again and again and again no matter how many crimes he committed. It just wasn't meant to be. The fact that he used his own hands and weapon to end it all. The fact that he wanted to end right there too.

The fact that Wei Wuxian looked at his own parallel character and chose to end his life because he knew they could not live with that pain. (TT) (But mostly because his parallel character was a piece of shit. Yes, I'm talking about Xue Yang).

Jin Guangyao being Wei Wuxian's third parallel character. The one that didn't take the insults or hate lying down. The one who actually tried to do something about the corrupt system, accidentally became the corrupt system 😅, but hey the Cultivation world didn't seem to be suffering for it, just his unfortunate enemies.

Just all of Wei Wuxian's parallel characters choosing death over living in a world where they are not loved by their Lan Wangji.

Then there's Lan Xichen. The final Lan Wangji. The forever mourner. Waiting for someone who will never come back.

“Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.”

Wangji... all of a sudden... why would you do these things...

[phoenixkaptain]

The SCENE in GuanYin Temple!!!! Wei Ying is like “I have to tell Lan Zhan something” and Jin Guangyao, while literaly holding a wire to his throat, is like “If it’s so important, tell him like this.”

AnD WEI WUXIAN, in front of his nephew!!! And his (future) brother in law!!! And the man trying to kill all of them!!! Straight up!!! Just outright!!!! “Lan Zhan, I really wanted to have sex with you.”

!!!!!!!!!!

Wei WUXIAN!!!! This is a serious moment!!!! And you’re confessing to wanting to bone him, in front of all these people??!?!!

I love it, it’s been almost a year since I firts read it, but I will never get over it!! Lan Zhan and Wei Ying decide that a HOSTAGE SITUATION WITH THEIR BROTHER AND NEPHEW IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO TALK ABOUT THIS, I’m dYing.

love how lan qiren comes back from the cultivation conference and is like "well how have things been while i was gone" and lan xichen just looks him in the eye and is like "oh, good! good! no news here, everything under control. well, except for no answers to the zombie puppets appearing everywhere. and the appearance of an aqua demon in the local lake. and oh, what do you know, apparently wangji has taken up drinking with the class delinquent"
