Getting stuck in the rain sucks unless it’s with your husband
Naps are good
Gazing into each other’s eyes
Neck kisses always make me weak in the knees, there just something comforting about them.
What’s your favourite spot to kiss or be kissed?
A good cuddle solves everything
Hand kisses
I’ve been wanting to paint their wedding day since that one episode ❤️
Desperate kisses. I’m so excited for the novels to be released! I’ve been waiting since 2018 haha

mermaid wei wuxian, because I said so 😀👍
He'd find some other way to punish himself - for the time being. Once the sunshot campaign is over, unless someone actively stops him by talking to him like a sick goat* and passing the highest persuasion check ever he'd still take his life once he's no longer needed.
Thing is, Nie Mingjue is a lot of things but he's not a hypocrite. We know this when he goes 'I'll kill myself after killing him' with Meng Yao. But he is aware that there is too much at stake to remove him. He didn't become the general because he can hit things really hard, I'm sure (I mean, he can, but that's not the reason) but because he's a good leader and a great tactician. He knows this. He knows how much is at stake.
I honestly think talking him out of killing himself would be harder than talking him out of killing Meng Yao was.
I don't want to entertain this thought any longer. I love Nie Mingjue. I don't want him hurt. (And I say that as someone who loves Jin Guangyao every bit as much.)
*Have a weird Austrian idiom directly translated into English, haha.
imagine the following scenario:
during the sunshot campaign, due to the demands of war, nie mingjue frequently has to move his troops through farmland, the farmers of which depend on the land and the crops they raise for survival. nie mingjue orders his men to not disturb the farmers' crops; however, he has trouble enforcing this order.
eventually, nie mingjue decrees that the next person who damages the common people's crops will be executed, regardless of rank or status. and when two men do not take this decree seriously and steal some crops for themselves anyways, nie mingjue actually has them executed.
unfortunately, barely a week later, due to severe sleep deprivation, nie mingjue himself neglects to watch where he is going and ends up trampling a farmer's crops.
some notes: as it turns out, nie mingjue is basically the only person on the entire hejian front who has the ability to be an effective general. his battle prowess, understanding of war tactics, and ability to command the loyalty of his men are unparalleled. furthermore, there are many secret operations currently underway, and while multiple people in the sunshot campaign know about these, only nie mingjue knows about all of them and can see the full picture. thus, if nie mingjue dies, then the sunshot campaign will suffer a severe setback.
"does not punish himself" is not a poll option bc lbr he would not dodge punishment
It's bloody 7 A.M. and I was not ready for this.
it just wasn’t meant to be
I love MDZS bc I went into it for an angsty gay romance—which I got—but I was wholly unprepared for these books to have the vibes of an unhinged necromantic episode of the Magic School Bus. Just a demonic gay freak and his bf enthusiastically chaperoning a bunch of kids who are way out of their depth on a field trip to hunt ghosts and walking corpses, shoving them headfirst into insane nightmare-fuel as a learning experience. It’s fantastic idk why this isn’t the main selling point for the series
An old art I drew in lwj’s bday
Was in the middle of writing my part two of my WWX always wanted a family headcanon, but took a little YouTube break and found this:
So my idea:
This, but it’s WWX’s spirt. A-Yuan could be the baby, but I think it’d be way funnier if it was just some random kid to non cultivator parents and so when the parents try to find someone to help w/ their ghost problem, no one believes them that the Yiling Patriarch’s ghost is babysitting their kid, singing them lullabies, and rocking them to sleep. The parents are basically left to freak out by themselves bc no one believes them and wants to waste their time on some nobodies from the sticks that won’t bring them glory until WWX is brought back to life. THEN, WWX shows up on their doorstep, husband in tow w/ arms full of presents for the kid, and they now have to host the Yiling Patriarch and Hanguang-jun. The kid’s loving it though.

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.
People like to joke about Jin Guangyao being a little too invested in Wangxian and not taking his hostage situation seriously enough, but he was not the only clown in that temple.
When Jin Guangyao dropped the cord he had held at Wei Wuxian's neck, did Wei Wuxian turn and attack? Did Lan Wangji take the opportunity to attack? Did anyone?
No. They did not.
Instead of doing anything to try an get out of being hostages, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji started hugging and talking to each other. Everyone else just watched.
That whole temple was filled with people who were more interested in the ever shifting drama of the situation than the danger.
