It’s unfortunate that MDZS isn’t mainstream enough to reference in casual offline conversation, because “this is what killed Nie Mingjue” is thee best possible way to describe an offensively grating piece of music and there is simply no normie equivalent.
SERIOUSLY it should be taking over the earth at a faster pace than this so i don’t come off like a hyperfixating little lunatic everytime i have something to say!

There is one particular ship dynamic that never fails to wreck me, and I’ll call it Soulmates, But Not Like That. Not in a “some higher power has decided that we are destined to be together” way, but something that is almost the opposite of that. It’s that character who has been alone for a long time, and has maybe convinced themselves that they will be alone forever, and who has a lot of barriers to intimacy with most of the people around them, for whatever the relevant narrative reasons are. And then they just happen to cross paths with this ONE FUCKING PERSON who works for them, through some very specific combination of personality and circumstance and life experience and mutually compatible damage. And there is always the shock of what are the fucking odds, and underneath everything the terror of what if this doesn’t last. what if there’s no one else. I would just go back to being alone. I don’t know if I could do that after knowing this. Because when you finally let down that wall of emotional self-sufficiency the thought of having to put it back up again is painful. And in real life I don’t at all believe that there is only One Designated Person for anyone, but in fiction I do tend to gravitate toward characters who believe themselves to be The Only One in some way, and I will always be emotionally compromised by that dawning sense of oh. You are like me.
Wei Wuxian for Lan Wanji
This joke has been stuck in my head for weeks
Hi, anon about Lan zhan crush again! What I wanted to ask was about Lan Wangji initial feelings towards Wei Wuxian and how he accepted them and acted upon them, basically the progression of his feelings and thoughts about him.
(for example; in the book Lan wangji couldn't stop thinking about Wei Wuxian so he copied incorrectly, he really couldn't stop thinking about him...because Wei Wuxian was being really annoying on the other side of the desk, Lan wangji probably already have a crush on him at the time, but it's funny how he went from that to the present)
It might have been a crush that at the start but he really ended up admiring Wei Wuxian and respecting him ,with full trust on his character.
I know that it's never explicit when he falls in love, but my curiosity starts with this constant take that Lan wangji fell in love at first sigh, which I don't really agree, yes he might have been attracted, but I think he fell in love with Wei Wuxian the more he knew him or just started to find Wei Wuxian teasing charming and fell from there, then other takes coming from the same idea that Lan wangji was just crazy in love and nothing more and could do anything for Wei Wuxian didn't matter good or bad....and that's straight up wrong.
I always saw Lan wangji as this teen who didn't know how to act around his crush, but when he's a young adult he has grown up so he acts much more polite to him and shows his concern ,doing the best he could etc. In Addition to the discussion of Lan Wangji as a ml, I really like how he was never asking or seeking a romantic relationship or anything, just wanting to be there for him and help in what he could, being always respecful, it's just nice to see unconditional love without asking for anything in return.
Ahhh thank you!
Well I think for Lan Wangji it was a bit of a work in progress accepting his feelings. I may be an odd one out of this fandom when I say Wei Wuxian was always the active pursuant from the start and this is what makes Lan Wangji dubbed as the "maiden" of the romance. He is not the one actively wooing Wei Wuxian, he is very hesitant despite his own passions towards him.
When he first has interactions with Wei Wuxian he doesn't expect anything much out of him (he initially seemed to encompass everything that Lan Wangji is told is not ideal in a person), but then Wei Wuxian keeps seeking out Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji's also is physically attracted to this person and I think this originally baffles him because he has no experience in finding someone attractive or thinks he ever would have. Wei Wuxian is an anomaly in Lan Wangji's life that goes against everything he has learned what a person should be.
Wei Wuxian is loud, boisterous, brags, and he specifically seeks out Lan Wangji to pick on like a school yard bully, but then he wants to give Lan Wangji small gifts, the loquats, the bunnies, and he is a kind generous man that doesn't hide that part of him. That kind and generous part of him is what is unexpected to Lan Wangji I think when they are fifteen. For all of Wei Wuxian's teasings, it's because Wei Wuxian wants to see Lan Wangji's very human reactions, and he also began to admire Lan Wangji since he took that punishment with him. There's a spark of something more from the start for the two, and it doesn't matter what the start of that is for "love" that they have for each other due to love taking on many forms when you have met as strangers.
As to when Lan Wangji realizes it's more than just simply a passing crush is probably right around the Qishan Wen Archery competition. He seems not just angry but also disappointed that Wei Wuxian is casual with him, maybe as he would be any other person. But he knows aren't exactly friends due to Lan Wangji's own reticence, but he is very much yearning for that friendship and probably more due to his own admiration for Wei Wuxian.
I also think Lan Wangji didn't want to guilt Wei Wuxian into having feelings, he believes, Wei Wuxian doesn't have for him. He is still seventeen years old at this point as well. He's sullen at Wei Wuxian for being apparently flippant to him, and his feelings, as well as himself for being selfish and desperately wanting Wei Wuxian's love too. These two are still trying to understand the other, and genuinely do think the other is callous and dislike the other due to their own hesitancy and trying to make a joke out of their own unsureness of the others thoughts.
And then their roles get reversed when Wei Wuxian becomes the guarded one after Lan Wangji expresses his concerns offensively to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is vastly more hurt by the implication that Lan Wangji believes he has sacrificed his morals and may continue to if he isn't careful when Wei Wuxian has always tried weighing the consequences of actions and still choosing what is morally justified. Lan Wangji is in the role of trying to now understand Wei Wuxian as Wei Wuxian did when they first met. The tragedy of their youth is the unknowns of their exploration of their relationship due to circumstances beyond their control.
All this to say, I don't believe it can ever be pinpointed as to how and why people fall in love, it happens gradually and in small parts. There's a beauty in quiet love that grows bigger from admiration that MXTX likes to write about.
I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️
Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.
Love that this is well beyond 7000 people now and still going
@leavescrown Exactly! It’s a beautiful gift. Martin and Bosco out there travelling around the Tumblr community, continually making new friends.
@sseanettles
#hello again martin and bosco!! sending you boys round for another go :)
Reading your tag made me laugh out loud. It’s like two old friends unexpectedly stopped by your porch for a quick visit. XD
I’ll always reblog Martin and Bosco when they splash across my dash, because of Reasons.

The Husband

T, WIP, 10k, Wangxian
Summary: As he walked up the path from the gravel lined drive to the stones that led to the porch, Lan Zhan couldn’t help but remember to when he had stormed out of the house, backpack crammed with only a few essentials, and swore that he would never step foot inside this house again. He hadn’t returned when Lan Xichen graduated. He hadn’t returned when his father - “You made it,” Lan Xichen smiled wide and slightly unbelieving. OR: Lan Zhan returns home after 14 years of estrangement with his family. Haunted by ghosts of the past, he is given news that cuts him to the core and makes him question not only his relationship with his family, but everything he ever believed. Kay's comments: This story is marked as complete, but the author has confirmed that it's actually a WIP and there will be a continuation and I'm so hyped for it! The first chapter had me on the edge of my seat the entire time reading and what a cliffhanger it left us with! I really feel for Lan Zhan in this story and I can't wait to see how the situation will play out for him. Excerpt: The watch on his wrist was buzzing again. “Lan Zhan,” his brother called his name as if from far away. “Lan Zhan, I’m sure you remember Nie Mingjue? My boyfriend!” Lan Zhan knew all the words but never expected them to be strung together like that. Honestly, he wasn’t sure he heard it right at all, the way his heart was pounding in his ears, making everything sound so distant. His air was coming in gulping breaths now, chest surging with every inhale and not quite able to fully exhale. The watch on his wrist was buzzing again. All three of them were looking at him. Did they see him struggling to breathe? Could they see the tiny sheen of sweat on his forehead? Did they know how ice cold his hands felt and how the lights in the kitchen were growing dark so he could barely make out their faces?

False, it is because teeth are thirty white horses on a red hill. First they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still.

lan wangji is totally helicopter parenting the lan juniors at the beginning of mdzs just like jiang cheng is doing with jin ling but he’s doing it secretly. the juniors don’t know he’s near enough to them to help. jingyi tells sizhui that none of their seniors are nearby, but lan wangji is there in minutes. he didn’t tell them he’d be around. ahhhh dadji i love you so much.
I love how in the Untamed you can see both Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan sitting in a tea stall near the forest just waiting for a signal flare to pop up so they can go and rescue their bbies ASAP if needed X3
this clip was so novelwwx coded that I had to drag myself out of art-block to do this
