what if wwx sang instead of whistled?

it’s just a thought i had while browsing tiktok (don’t judge me) and watching a woman sing a hauntingly beautiful song in a staircase with beautiful echoes - what if wwx sang instead of using a flute or whistling?

just imagine you’re some random wen guarding a watchtower and you suddenly hear quiet, soothing singing - and then you hear screaming, and see corpses, and die a painful death. imagine jc and lwj watching wwx sing wen chao to death; maybe sitting somewhere, or leaning against the wall, or standing almost uncomfortably close to him, and singing a haunting little song as he’s tortured.

imagine being on the battlefield, fighting to stay alive, and coming across wwx, singing calmly while surrounded by bodies.

imagine what it’d take to take this peculiar cultivation away this time - to silence him.

"xie lian is so oblivious" yeah yeah we've all been in the mires of queer plausible deniability. but xie lian had the deck stacked wayyy against him. he didn't know he was gay, thought hua cheng was taken, has been maintaining a chastity vow his whole life and depending on your headcanon is demisexual . his ass was not reading into ANYTHING

they said sorry about the heartbreak but we could not relate less

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OUGHHHHHH

those words aren’t necessary miss kitty. you’re lucky you get ice cream at all.

Something that is in fact SO important to Wei Wuxian is that, fundamentally, he is hot. He is Thee Hot Girl. He’s shooting five arrows blindfolded as a charged political statement and he’s doing it with zero magic powers AND he was sexy when he did it. He beats out his own brother (sorry, Jiang Cheng) for Most Eligible Bachelor despite being literally dirt poor and not a sect heir. He lives rent free in the minds of everybody twenty years later, to the point that JC and LWJ are literally Like That and NHS literally constructed his revenge plot around him and— look, just watch the scenes at the Second Burial Mounds Siege. Oh, and they use all his inventions, even though he’s an evil heretic, because uhhh they were really good inventions. Actually. Like he was in fact at the top of the field as an inventor and innovator. And he was hot. AND he had no powers. Whoops.

just look at this little guy

looking at pictures of people who got their childhood stuffies tattooed and i feel ILL this is making my heart so full it aches

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter
