okay so we all know that wangxian invented romance, but let’s talk a bit more about the iconic dialogue in episode 25:
Lan Wangji: 你把我當成什麼人? / What kind of person do you take me for?
Wei Wuxian: 我曾經把你當做我畢生知己 / I had once thought that, in my lifetime, you would be the one who knew me.
Lan Wangji: 現在仍是 / I still am.
I’ve seen various translations of the phrase “畢生知己” as “lifelong confidante” or “soulmate,” and I’m always so torn because these are both fine translations but like, not quite there

There's something so beautiful and holy about getting married in an empty church without a priest or any witnesses. I'm thinking of louis and lestat and I'm thinking of anne lister and ann walker. There's something so queer about wanting something that's embedded in our culture but wanting to do it in its purest form, devoid of all pretensions and unnecessities that people have attached to it over time. I want to tell you that what we have is holy and I'll spend my whole life worshiping it and i want to do it free of all the dirt that society has glued onto marriage. I want it to feel the way it felt for the first lovers who came up with the idea because they knew what they had was holy and they wanted to create a ceremony to celebrate it.

hey you. indie creator. get rid of the corporate execs and the imaginary writers room in your brain. the cynical youtube reviewers and disney fans who want sanitized uwu gays probably are never even gonna be even slightly aware of your existence. write those unrelatable blorbos and those messy themes and that weirdly sexy violence. you have no one to answer to but yourself. give yourself what you want and maybe some day, some 3 random lesbians from the internet whose interests you have somehow exactly hit will look at your thing and think its pretty cool, and in the end thats all you ever needed
okay so what actually lives rent free in my head is this line
because like, viktor, girlie pop, what DO YOU MEAN???? this man has KILLED YOU and after THAT you had a homoerotic fight where after you wrapped your legs around him and choked him he rejected you and destroyed your little robot avatar that shed tears about it
and at the peak of your no emotions no free will evolution you are "... pleased to see him" PLEASED?? to?? see?? him??
truly a fatal case of gay yearning

is it really true that the average person's pain level is a 0?
It's a title that he has given himself, or has been given to him, but he's never felt it. I don't think he's ever really wanted it or I don't think it gives him happiness. He would much rather have a maître in Louis and I think that goes back to his other previous partners […] or people that he's had in his life. But here that’s his cloak, that's his kind of mask. [At the] end of episode four [Louis] calls him Arun for the first time and for Armand in that moment that’s Louis seeing Armand for the child that he is, for the innocent that he is, and that’s what makes Armand melt […] That’s a sigh of relief that he doesn’t have to do this alone because he’s been doing this alone for so long, maintaining power, maintaining structure, maintaining the coven, and now Louis [has] said with that phrase, I can share that burden with you, even better I can take it from you, I can hold it. There are the sexual dynamics in that as well, and that’s the submissive elements to it. It’s protection and I feel that he kind of sees Louis as his protector, but it’s difficult because he wants to give that control but wants to also control Louis [...] but you can’t have both and that’s his downfall. | Assad Zaman

Damian, rasing a brow: Yes, ofcourse? As I am currently in fourth grad-
Jason, spitting out water: What the fuck? 2032?
Steph, pointing accusingly: That's not a real graduation year you made that up!
Dick: I think I just threw up in my mouth a little
Duke, with his head in his hands: Does anyone else feel both their feet in the grave? I graduated this year!
Dick: Feet? More like my entire body, I finished high school years ago!
