Hello. Could you maybe help me? I feel so dumb but I just don't understand why did LZ say: 'Fortunately' in the Yi City, and what did he mean by that? Did he mean fortunately I have you back unlike them. But that sounds really mean so I don't know. Thanks in advance!
Hello, nonny! And, please, don’t feel dumb! I’ll be honest, I’ve puzzled over that one more than once, myself. And because I’m exactly that much of a dork, I went ahead and made some gifs of that moment to see if I could figure it out. ^_^ (And WOW, this got a lot longer than anticipated, because once I got started, I had a LOT to say, so… yeah. ^_^ Gonna stick a cut in there somewhere…)
(Disclaimer: This is purely my personal opinion from having stared at Lan Wangji’s facial expressions WAY too intently and for WAY too long. It is not intended to be a definitive answer. ^_^)
So, the moment in question comes right on the heels of them burying A-Qing. The juniors are sobbing; even Jin Ling is moved to say that if Fairy were here, he’d have her shred Xue Yang’s corpse because death was too good for him. At the mention of Fairy, Wei Wuxian clutches his hands to his chest, then moves over to talk to Lan Wangji who, up until that point, had been lost in his own thoughts…
I mean… look at this. Lan Wangji doesn’t even notice that Wei Wuxian has come over until he calls his name. That’s… kind of unprecedented? Lan Wangji is always aware of Wei Wuxian. He knows where he is and what he’s doing whenever he can manage to keep track of him. But here? Here he’s so distracted by what they just went through that he’s actually lost track of him, even if only for a moment. That speaks volumes for how distraught he is over everything that’s just gone down. Honestly? This reads like flashback central to me. The way Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen fell apart and lost each other in such a horrible way? That has to have stirred up some stuff… none of it good.

Back to tumblr after a while only because I looked up something very specific and of course tumblr had the answers. Here to announce I'm bringing forward another hyperfixation of mine into this little account. It's really bad rn I can't think of anything else
So here's a little moment I really liked from it and the perfect analysis
