I really love… Lady Oscar
environmental racism isn't a thing. God how can people be so stupid. Plants don't have fucking opinions.
I’m … legitimately blown away that you think environmental racism is about the marginalization of plants.
Top ten moments on this site
Shouto’s really going through it.
Alright, so you know how sometimes when something really sad happens in a movie, like maybe the dog died, you have to take a breath and remind you that it’s not real and it’s okay and the dog is fine, it’s just a movie and the dog’s a damn good actor/actress?
You know that kind of situation?
Well congratulations, according to anti-“logic”, you’re excusing real life animal abuse. Because you justified the dog’s death with “it’s okay, it’s just fiction, no real animals were harmed”.
Because thinking something’s fine in fiction means condoning it in real life. Somehow.
Damn, I like this person.
vacation of daisuga
Liu Qingge: I had a crush on someone once and didn’t know how to deal with it so I wrote them a letter that just said “Get out of my school”
Shen Qingqiu: That was you????!!
For the ship meme, modern au Wei WuXian/Lan Wangji (obvious choice lol). Hope you're having a good time!
YEET IT MY BOIS also hap borth wifi i was gonna do A Thing but then sdfdkfhdfh it’ll have to wait for Murican 10/31 instead
Using their birth names exclusively here too.
Domestic ship meme:
Who’s more dominant: Lan Zhan, hands down…but Wei Ying is one hell of a power-bottom.
Who’s the cuddler: Wei Ying! Lan Zhan is pretty adverse to physical contact with most people, but Wei Ying is The Only Exception when it comes to prolonged skinship.
Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Lan Zhan is big spoon, Wei Ying insists he’s a spork.
What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Lan Zhan is tempted to say most everything with Wei Ying, so long as Wei Ying is happy. He gay, keep scrolling. Wei Ying, on the other hand, finds a deep joy, vast as the sea, in Lan Zhan singing to him, especially his original compositions. With the soft twang of the guqin in the background, Lan Zhan’s singing voice never fails to make Wei Ying feel content and loved.
Who uses all the hot water: “Wei Ying, you’ve been in the shower for an hour now.” “YEAH AND I AIN’T COMIN’ OUT TIL I’M READY. GO PEE ELSEWHERE.”
Most trivial thing they fight over: “Wei Ying. Stop trying to shave uncle’s goatee.” “But he looks so much better! He’s always complaining about how both his nephews are gay, but if he was so worried about bloodline bullshit then he can just shave and make his own babies!”
Who does most of the cleaning: Lan Zhan, without a doubt. Wei Ying is more than content to live in a state of organized chaos his entire life.
What has a season pass on their dvr/Who controls the netflix queue: Lan Zhan pays for it and controls the queue in theory, but the moment Wei Ying becomes interested in anything it goes on the list.
Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Wei Ying does, because Lan Zhan sounds too intimidating over the phone and the last receptionist who picked up their call got spooped.
Who leaves their stuff around: Wei Ying leaves his possessions around the house like Hansel and Gretel left breadcrumb trails.
Who remembers to buy the milk: “Wei Ying, no. You’re lactose intolerant.” “Wei Ying, yes! #YOLO and all that good stuff. -proceeds to crack open the gallon of milk in the store and chug-”
Who remembers anniversaries: Lan Zhan does. Wei Ying’s memory is spotty when it comes to most some things; he lives on Google calendar and Facebook birthday notifications are his saving grace.
Who cooks normally: Who in their right mind would willingly let Wei Ying into the kitchen to cook?!
How often do they fight: They have their fair share, but Lan Zhan is just frigid whereas Wei Ying is the erupting volcano. It’s usually over something self-sacrificial or self-disparaging that Wei Ying is thinking or doing.
What do they do when they’re away from each other: On the off chance they’re more than a foot away from each other, they text constantly and video chat and call whenever they can.
Nicknames for each other: “Happy birthday, Xian Xian.” “…Lan er-gege, that sounds so awkward coming from you. I appreciate it, but please. No.”
Who is more likely to pay for dinner: Lan Zhan got that platinum credit card and that phat wallet. Wei Ying is broke af.
Who steals the covers at night: Wei Ying steals the covers. Lan Zhan steals Wei Ying.
What would they get each other for gifts: Lan Zhan would shower Wei Ying with gifts, including anything Wei Ying eyes for more than 10 seconds. Wei Ying constantly draws and makes crafts for Lan Zhan.
Who kissed who first: Lan Zhan did, the poor repressed dude. Wei Ying had no idea it was him for the longest time.
Who made the first move: Lan Zhan did. Along with move 2, skip a few, move 99 and 100. Wei Ying was too dense to pick up on them for the longest time.
Who remembers things: Lan Zhan remembers every little detail and preserves every little keepsake.
Who started the relationship: Wei Ying! Because Lan Zhan had been waiting for 5ever and you can’t start a relationship without both parties consenting. It’s like that moment when you’re playing a 2player game and while player 1 hit start super early, player 2 doesn’t do so until hours later.
Who cusses more: Wei Ying can swear like a sailor.
What would they do if the other one was hurt: If someone hurt their beloved, that someone is a goner. If it’s through an accident (koff Wei Ying koff) then Lan Zhan will just…dote. And dote some more.
Who is the dirty talker: Wei Ying. Jiang Cheng mentioned, disgusted, that he should give phone sex work a whirl.
A head canon: Wei Ying sometimes wears Lan Zhan’s shirts to bed when he’s not around, and when Lan Zhan comes home the following morning and sees the sleeping Wei Ying wearing the too-large shirts that aren’t even buttoned, it takes every ounce of self-control not to jump him there and then.

Nie MingJue: *punches Jin GuangYao*
Jin GuangYao: I shall wear this like a badge of honour
Nie MingJue: wear it in silence or I’ll honour you again
Fighting style vs Personality
I like how people’s fighting style in MDZS doesn’t always match their at-first-brush personality, but is actually a solid hint at who they are deep down.
Lan Wangji is a distant, reserved person who is always elegant, quiet and rule abiding at first glance.
In combat though, he is a hardcore solo front-line fighter. He usually seems to cultivate alone (when he isn’t chaperoning juniors) and in war he is right there. He earned that reputation for being where the chaos is. In episode 15 he is all alone on a rooftop, and all alone knocks aside an entire army’s arrows with a strum of his guqin. When the others follow his order to start formations you can see that he is even-with, or in-front of the protective barriers. Fearless.
Wei WuXian is a reckless person, dashing into the middle of things and flouting rules left and right from the moment you meet him.
During a fight however, he is very meticulous and tactical. Observing and analyzing his opponents while staying out of their reach until he gets a grasp on things, then going in for the kill. After losing his core and being devoted to Demonic Cultivation he becomes even more so - an overseeing general puppeteering an army from a distance.
Jiang Cheng seems like the aloof, commanding leader type. He’s usually barking orders at people and leaning on intimidation to maintain his position.
Put him on a battlefield though, and instead of a distant commander, he’s a mid-range army captain. Right in the thick of the men leading the charge instead of standing apart. He follows battle plans and can formulate them on the fly, but he does better when he’s part of a team following a grand plan.
Nie Mingjue seems like he’d be a brute - he’s straightforwardly itching for a fight from the moment he appears.
And he is to an extent, but he’s also a very competent, politically savvy military leader. He isn’t there just for his own glory or the thrill of hacking a guy with his saber. He’s leading an idealistic rebellion, the ultimate commander of a combined army, holding it all together with the strength of his personailty and conviction and aiming himself at the tactically sound targets of the enemy leaders, not gunning for any fight he can get. Though the politically savvy part eventually got him killed as he would have had less trouble if he’d gone the non-PR rout of decapitating Meng Yao like he wanted to.
Jin Ling is a pretty princess, turning his nose up at things and complaining all the time you would expect him to be delicate and hang back, complaining for someone to save him.
On a hunt or fight, he is every bit as reckless and dashing headlong into a fight as Wei WuXian isn’t. He runs ahead alone, investigated the creepy burial place alone, he never runs, no matter what he’s up against. He’ll fight till he wins or gets killed.
Lan Sizhui seems like a perfect Lan, upholding their ideal 24/7.
In a fight though, he is ready and willing to improvise. He takes new information and tactics, and adapts his strategy and just runs with it - even if it comes from a lunatic. He follows his gut instinct almost constantly and is quick about making connections between different, sometimes illogical information someone else would dismiss to get to the heart of things.
Lan Jingyi is excitable and loud, he seems like a spaz and could easliy have been a bumbling clutz to Lan Sihzui’s straight man.
At the Mo manor though, it wasn’t Lan Sizhui that took control of the crowd of people in the novel. It was Lan Jingyi. His skillset isn’t flashy, but he is good a managing and controlling situations so that someone a bit stronger can have free reign to do their thing, and that’s how he’s a perfect teammate to Lan Shizui.
The general consensus is that Nie Huaisang was motivated by revenge, but it doesn’t take into account that in MDZS we have a confirmed existence of souls. So Nie Mingjue wasn’t just dead & gone, he was dead & stuck in a resentment-filled, chopped-into-parts body. His soul was still suffering, so it’s possible that at least partly Nie Huaisang did what he did to put his brother to rest. Revenge could also be required for the ‘putting to rest’ part.
