Hi miss Sophie! I've said this before but haha I love ur art and writing! Ur art style has always been very pleasing to look at :)
questions: how would you see leoya getting together ? And in a previous question someone asked how koya would ask Leo out to a date and you said koya doesn't ask are u saying koya would just kidnap Leo to a romantic dinner XD (haha sorry I just love this ship so much I had to ask)
2)Any character dynamics you would've loved to expand on more?
Ahh that's all! Thank youuu
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words! <3
I can't imagine Koya would ever allow herself to be romantic in the traditional sense, she'd do something like she'd go up to Leo and be like "WE ARE NOW A COUPLE" and then storm off without explanation, leaving Leo bewildered.
For other character dynamics, I had a plan for more Leo & Casey after the one fight club issue, they were going to be palling around and developing their friendship while Raph and Casey were on the outs, but it never happened. :( That's probably my big one I wish I could have done. I also would've loved to explore Hob and the Weasels more, and Hob in general, how his views on human-born mutants vs animal-born mutants change, how he comes to care about the Weasels even though they used to be human and how he regrets what he's done to them, how he deals with the paperwork that results from Mutant Town and how he kinda unintentionally creates problems for himself and bites off more than he can chew. I really wanted the Turtles and Hob to finally come to a more formal, if uneasy, truce.
Dudeee! These all sound really good I can't wait to read em :D thank you!
Alright class gather around and share your mdzs& svsss fic recs with me. Any kind of fics!
Thank you for Blessing me on this fine day
fem wangxian doodles š„¹
Hey, I saw you were taking asks. Could you doodle Danny Phantom and his clone Dani hanging out? Playing tag, star gazing, making cookies, for example. Any type of bonding would be cute. š„¹
They can't cook :(
God you worded my thoughts beautifully, 100% agreed.
Hii! I hope you are having a good day! I have a question concerning Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangjiās righteousness. Also I think this might also be a hot take? Many people have said that Wangxian are the only morally upright people in the novel, but in Lan Wangjiās case that's only when he matured yes?
I'm not trying to say Lan Wangji is not righteous, he is! He is better than most of the cultivators in the gentry, that's how he got his title after all. I'm just confused because I have seen people claiming that he is just as good as Wei Wuxian (before Wei Wuxian's death).
If Lan Wangji really was as good as Wei Wuxian that time. Why didn't he put the same effort in helping the Wen remnants the same way Wei Wuxian did? Why didn't he go and confirm whether or not the Wen remnants really were being unjustly abused?
Wei Wuxian gave up his reputation, his clan, his comfort, and nearly everything to save the Wen remnants. And I'm sorry to say this (I'm not trying to hate, I'm just stating facts), Lan Wangji didn't.
My problem isn't with Lan Wangji (I adore him). My problem is people saying to say that Lan Wangji was as righteous as Wei Wuxian pre-Wei Wuxian death. Yes, Lan Wangji did try to help Wei Wuxian (defending Wei Wuxian several times in the cultivation meetings, and supporting Mianmian, helping Wen Ning when he was just awakened). But my problem is when people equate those actions to what Wei Wuxian did with the Wen remnants. Lan Wangji at that time did not put in the same effort to help the Wen remnants just as Wei Wuxian did. That's what I'm trying to say. Lan Wangji pre-Wei Wuxian was still maturing, he has some hesitationto help the Wen remnants back then, he was not as good as Wei Wuxian back then. BUT Lan Wangji IS as good as Wei Wuxian post-Wei Wuxian death. He learned from his mistakes, and acted with more conviction to do the right thing.
Also another question, what made Lan Wangji hesitate to help Wei Wuxian all that much in the past (Wen remnants case)? Was it because of his family and clan? Or was it some other factor? Was he hindered in some way?
What do you think about this?
Hi anon, Iām not really recovered enough to do meta, but you caught me in a good mood, so Iāll give you some answers anyway.
First off I think that take that literally only Wangxian are morally upright is a liiiiittle reductionist, because that erases for example Mianmian and the juniors and Wen Qing and Wen Ning and a-Qing and Xiao Xingchen, all of whom are people who we know to have strong morals and the fortitude to do the right thing in the face of loud opposition and societal disapproval. But also I think that while Lan Wangjiās morality is much more apparent in the present, it is consistently strong throughout the entire novel. He just doesnāt shout about it.
First off, given the Wen Remnants claim, Wei Wuxian leaves right from the banquet to go chase them down, which is something he can do without incurring greater societal rancor because he was not a guest at the banquet. Lan Wangji is a guest and both host and guests do have rules and expectations to follow that would make it much more difficult for him to chase after Wei Wuxian without bringing down ire upon the Lan too. Remember, at this time in the book, the Lan Clan is still rebuilding their home that was burnt down with the help of the Jin, they are not quite as free to do as they please as the Jiang are. By the time he would have been able to get there, Wei Wuxian would have already spirited away the Wen from Qiongqi Path, meaning thereād be nothing for him to see. In addition itās not as if heās doing nothing at the banquet, he speaks in defense of Wei Wuxian both against the Jin and his own family, which is not doing nothing by any means. Heās fighting on different battlegrounds because he and Wei Wuxian are in different positions.
As for your latter questions, I wonder if youāve ever heard of the concept attacking on two fronts? Yes, Wei Wuxian sacrificed everything to protect the Wen and give them time, but for all of that sacrifice, itās doing nothing to stop the roar of the mob. He is an imposing figure to be sure, but he is one man and they are many. In addition, he is mostly staying in one place and working on keeping them alive, meaning that while the Wen are safe, everyone else who is not a cultivator is still having to deal with the hypocrisy of the cultivation world alone, which is where Lan Wangji, who appears wherever chaos is and helps people with their problems however small they seem. In addition to that, he is also continually speaking out at meetings on Wei Wuxian and the Wensā behalf, we see him do this at the same meeting as Mianmian leaving her clan and we know he spoke up other times from when he and Wen Ning chat on the boat. Just because he wasnāt there in the burial mounds doesnāt mean he wasnāt doing anything and his morality was more questionable, it means that he was fighting those battles on other fronts - fronts where Wei Wuxian could not go, where Lan Wangji does have more power because he is a clan heir, because he is Hanguang-jun, because he is someone noble and strong willed enough to stand up to the bloodthirsty mob again and again and keep shouting back.
Also anon, the reason why Lan Wangji hesitated to āhelpā Wei Wuxian that much in the past (which he doesnāt, he gets rebuffed by Wei Wuxian half the times when he tries to help and successfully gets to help the other times) comes mostly down to Phoenix Mountain, where he made a significant, grievous error and crossed lines he should not have crossed with Wei Wuxian and that is what shakes up his confidence in helping Wei Wuxian for a while. Heās ashamed of himself for acting the way he did and wronging Wei Wuxian in his actions and it is that dissonance between his wants to be moral and his wants with Wei Wuxian that rattle and force him to spend time rectifying things. He keeps his distance and is cautious and careful with Wei Wuxian because the last time he did what he wanted heedless of what Wei Wuxian wanted, he ended up pinning him to a tree while blindfolded and forcing a kiss on him. That isnāt something that he is taking lightly, and it is clear that it has shaken him to the core.
Really, what I would argue that the biggest difference in Lan Wangji pre and post thirteen years is where heās just done with trying to win by the rules the cultivation world sets. Heās seen what happens when you follow those rules, how even when you stand up to them in the ways they claim to respect that their words mean nothing, and he wonāt give them the benefit of the doubt any longer. Which is something that can only come with maturity and is also something that Wei Wuxian learned in that same time span, Wei Wuxian never turned the defenses heād made for the Burial Mounds so that they would respond to Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng brought a siege on him.
The answer I have for you anon, is that they both have been equally moral in their youths and more so as adults because they are both learning and growing and developing that core within them as they grow. Be careful not to conflate sacrifice with morality, while it can indeed be a sign of great morals, it is not the only way such morals can be shown, and to suggest that Lan Wangjiās actions - helping others who still need his aid when the Wen are being taken care of by Wei Wuxian, speaking out on their defense, rescuing Wei Wuxian and taking him back to the burial mounds after the events of nightless city, and then surviving and living to save Wen Yuan and to raise him and other children so that they will not make the mistakes their elders did - are less moral because he gave up less than his life to do so is something that I find distasteful indeed.
You guys know those fics where canon!mdzs characters get somehow transported to alt universes? Well Let that happen to wangxian and Co, but make them trying to get back home the B plot, while the A plot is actually just modern!lsz explaining modern slang to them.
Mod!Lsz: And the word "goat" is actually just a fun way to call someone "Cool"
Lan "Avid enjoyer of linguistics" Wangji (totally calm): There. Is. No. Correlation.
Another point that must be made is that modern lsz loves romance novel, so while bored one of the juniors come across modern!lszs Copy of 2ha... (for plot convience they can understand modern chinese) let's just say it was not a fun conversation.
Modern mdzs fic: except its just a story about wangxian meeting and eventually falling in love while working in customer service.
Maybee...šš„ŗ
Maze runner band au except Newt has 7 evil exs and Thomas has to defeat them all so he can date Newt/J...... or am I?
Friendly reminder to all who consume fan made media: if you reblog gifs, gif makers will keep making them. If you reblog fanart, artists will keep drawing. If you leave comments on fanfics, writers will keep writing. As many have pointed out, weāre not Instagram and likes mean nothing :)
~They/them~, In many fandoms, I like art/writing sometimes i edit, certified lwj/wwx defender they did nothing wrong.
