actually this goes on tumblr too. Why does the counselor walk like that
hot take lan wangji would absolutely for sure scrap all day every day no hesitation whatsoever. the only reason he doesn’t is bc no one is stupid enough to piss him off (until wei ying ofc). you get one glare, maybe two if he’s feeling patient, and then it’s instant hands. truly a miracle wwx did not take more of a beating when he was at his most insufferable. in the library w the magazine lwj literally said catch me outside so i can beat ur ass. he’s soooooo ready to challenge any and everyone he meets. jzx (either of them tbh) says literally Anything and bichen is OUT. blades at DAWN. AND noon. and you know what, fuck it, blades at dusk too. in middle school he fought wen xu and all his goons One time when he was like 12 and he beat their asses so bad that shit followed him all the way to college. legendary. everyone knows lwj is in love w wei ying bc of the lack of duels. anyone else would certainly have been punched in the face. but no wwx just gets sideye. and ignored. which only ENCOURAGES him. in fact if anyone else tries to put a stop to wwx shenanigans lwj glares at YOU. everyone says ah yes, face of jade, so serene. meanwhile on the inside he is full of lust and also more importantly rage. i Love him. he said sometimes violence is the solution actually. but only when i do it. pristine.
personally in torn in-between the two headcanons for the dynamics for Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan/Qingqiu.
on one hand, as a reader its sooooo funny to realize that Shang Qinghua's (the creator of the universe) main adversary is a twenty-something broke college student who literally DIED after reading the novel because the ending was That Bad. But, on the other hand, Shen Yuan being very famous and rich and well known is also undeniably hilarious.
imagine being the writer of twilight and finding out that Harry Styles has not only read your (very... interesting) book in full but had also systematically left anon hate AND has been sucked into your novel as Jacob Black and is banging Edward Cullen
He Xuan probably spent a lot of time just staring at Xie Lian's statue at the Tonglu Mountain because there weren't many things to do whhen he killed everyone.
So when Hua Cheng tried to describe his noble, gracious special someone Black Water threw chopsticks at him and said that he would recognise this fucking face faster than Shi Wudu's
i keep thinking about how much i'd love to read tgcf from hua cheng's perspective but then i realize so much of it would just be
"gege!!! gege looks so radiant today... holy shit it's gege!!! FUCK YOU mu qing, FUCK YOU feng xin, ill fucking - holy shit is that gege???"
how can one man be so badass and also such a clusterfuck. no wonder xie lian loves him so much
