I Want my Wei Ying Back, with apologies to Jon Klassen.
i’ve decided that after 13 years of mourning, lan wangji carefully devised an algorithm for making decisions involving wei wuxian and it looks like this
This.
rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:
We need to bring back the athletics body type post
They seem like very good friends
i am an advocate for Big Dumb Man rights and i will not take this blatant erasure by the anime twitter users
Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.
“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?
Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.
Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.
You know what I’m actually not done ranting bc the danmei fandoms on tiktok keep driving me fucking nuts. This rant’s topic is the godawful ”lan wangji would burn the world for wei wuxian” type edits i see on tiktok and i want to scream and bite everytime i see one and not for a good reason. Like did you miss the part of the book where when wwx died lwj took all that love and grief that he had for him and used it to actually better the world? He loved wwx so much that he not only raised the son wwx left behind but also became a teacher and a role model for the other juniors across clans so that he could teach them the values wwx taught him and the values the world lacked and that caused wwx to be driven to death essentially. He wanted the next generation (of lans especially) to not blindly believe in authority figures, to not believe rumors and to question things and think for themselves so that no one would have to be scorned for protecting ppl like wwx was. Lwj loved wwx so much that he gained a reputation for ”being where the chaos is” bc he wanted to help the less fortunate like wwx wanted to, knowing that the big clans often only help richer ppl who can pay for their services.
If lwj wanted to burn the world don’t you think he would’ve done it when wwx actually did die in the story? But see how he didn’t do that? Instead he used the love he had for wwx to transform the world into a better place, bc it was a world wwx loved and a world he arguably died defending. Wwx loved the world & the ppl in it sm that he died standing up for what he knew was right and not budging even when he was pushed to his utter limits. Knowing all of that, do you think lwj could burn down the world? Do you think wwx would want him to? No i didn’t think so.
Also also ppl have got to stop saying that lwj ”waited” for wwx and erasing the actual tragedy of their story which is that wwx wasn’t just gone, he died. He died and he wasn’t coming back and lwj knew that. He didn’t look for him for all of those years (idk where that idea came from) nor was he waiting around for wwx to come back. It was sheer dumb luck and some amount of evil scheming that brought wwx back but let’s not kid ourselves when we say there were a lot of moving pieces in that plan and absolutely 0 guarantee that wwx would succesfully come back to life.
