lan wangji and lan sizhui's relationship isn't discussed enough!
a-yuan was the reason lan wangji lived and i will stand by it as long as i have to.
i'm not talking about living in a physical sense. he would've done so being the light bearer he is, but the peerless hanguang-jun lost his light the second he knew wei wuxian breathed his last.
hanguang-jun was just that, a light bearer, not the source of it. he was the moon that depended on the sun to provide it to the people, but he already lost his sun.
he probably would've gotten sucked into the black hole that was left behind after his star died that he did not realize there was another sun right beside it until he heard the faint cries of a child.
a-yuan. (he was the sun that the last of qishan wen couldn't even hope to be.)
it's the ways in which lan wangji and sizhui's interactions are so subtly domestic that melts my heart completely.
the relationship they share that of a guardian-ward, of a father-son.
the way sizhui (along with jingyi and a few other lan juniors) scream 'hanguang-jun!' and are able to smile while being held hostage really says a lot about both the trust they have in him and how safe they feel around him.
sizhui saying that feels as if he has nothing to fear or worry about, so long as lan wangji or wei wuxian were around. the bone deep trust that he has that he will be safe if he's around either of them even if he was in the middle of a literal death trap had me pause for a few seconds to let myself bawl out.
it's in the way sizhui so willingly and so enthusiastically interacts with lan wangji while everyone around him (except a few of the lan juniors) are scared witless to even breathe the same air as him. even the lan juniors don't seem to have the ease that sizhui has. (okay, this may probably be me over reading into it, but i really did feel that way while reading.)
and, my favorite interaction, sizhui encountering that lan wangji buried a-yuan in a pile of rabbits will never ever make me stop smiling like an idiot.
they have one of the healthiest parent-child relationship i've seen and i so, so long for it.
it's as surprising as it is devastating how less they're talked about. a crime really.
What do you think lads? Is this a good choice for some lads that have recently come back to the church?
One was raised Catholic and left the faith, one was raised Lutheran and left that church as well. They came back to God as protestants, and I’m so happy that they have taken that step. You think this would be a good gift to welcome them back in to the fold?
I recently got a new job after multiple years of struggling to find work. I’m starting to settle in now but I’m realizing now how hard it is to come out of the closet AGAIN after a few years of not having to.
I’m almost 34 and naively thought I was past this but it always feels like a huge charade. Then the folks I come out to have to preform their reactions. Did they know right away? Do they act surprised?
Now I’m reflecting on the ways I acted since I started and am embarrassed I either act passing or revealed too much too soon. And that’s if everything went GOOD! This is with SUPPORTIVE COWORKERS!
I’ve spent so many years unknowingly wearing armor without realizing it was see-through
Somewhere in Between - Chapter 7
“Chris, it’s fine,” Steve promised. “I just changed my mind.” “About being a lifeguard? Like you’ve been for the last three years?” Steve sighed and dropped his head back on the couch. Chrissy grabbed one of his hands and gave his fingers a gentle squeeze; then she waited until he gave in. “I ran into Billy.” “At the pool?” Chrissy asked with a frown. “What was he doing there?” “Uh, signing up. To be a lifeguard.” “Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding me.” “Nope. And—God, I know it’s stupid. I mean, it’s like you said! I’ve been working there for three years and I’m just gonna let him walk in and take my job?” “Steve—” “Well, he—he didn’t take my job. Trevor still wanted me to work, I just—I couldn’t make myself do it. I don’t want to sit there all summer worrying about when he’s gonna show up and what he’s gonna say and how he’s gonna piss me off—” “Hey,” Chrissy cut in, squeezing his hand again. “That’s not stupid. I get it. I wouldn’t want to stay there either.” Steve groaned, squeezing his eyes shut as hard as he could until his face started to hurt. Then he sighed and let his head loll to the side to look at Christine. “Are you just saying that so I feel better?” “No,” she assured him. “I don’t want you anywhere near Billy. If he’s a lifeguard now, as far as I’m concerned, the community pool is a quarantine zone.” “And that doesn’t annoy you? Like, what if you want to swim?” “Steve, there’s literally a pool party at your house today.”
