This video is EXACTLY what Lan Qiren fears is going to happen the moment he lets Wei Wuxian back into Cloud Recesses
Happy birthday for my glory king. Hanguang-Jun,Lan Wangji,Lan zhan,and best of all wei Wuxian’s husband ♥️💙♥️💙
it’s the way that for the wen remnants, one of THE most joyful moments they share together, possibly since the sunshot campaign came to an end, was when wei wuxian was able to bring sentience back to wen ning’s fierce corpse. that this cultivation method that wei wuxian had created, unjustly and with prejudice painted as an unequivocally vile, horrible, exceptionally offensive and dangerous thing... ended up bringing these persecuted people so much joy. wen ning, killed too soon for the crime of bearing the wen name, was able to live again, at least in some capacity. this wasn’t about creating a weapon, or making the formidable ghost general—it was entirely about getting wen qing’s brother back, getting the wen remnant’s beloved member back and i do consider it one of the most moving parts of the books in general.
Imagining a hualian mermaid au where hua cheng is a mermaid
When he was younger some poachers caught him and they marveled at his bright red tail. he tried his best to cover it with seaweed and stay out of sight
But he gets caught
Xie Lian happens to be sailing nearby and he spots the poachers and demands they release honghong er
Honghong er is frightened by it all and swims away. He spends the rest of his youth hiding in an underwater cave. Never does he forget the kind human who saved him
Xie Lian’s village is destroyed by the poachers who turn out to be pirates because of this act. Then he is kidnapped by the pirates and made a slave aboard their boat
He tries to stay upbeat and kind toward the other victims and prisoners he encounters but it’s *hard*
Meanwhile, Hua Cheng makes a name for himself as the terror of the seas. You know he is near when the waves turn crimson
He spots this ship and attacks it for entering his domain—a haven where merfolk are safe from humankind. He watches the pirates begin to drown, a smile on his face
Then he spots one—an unconscious man in tattered white robes—a face he could never forget. He races Xie Lian to the surface and resuscitates him. Pleading with his savior to stay with him. To stay alive.
Xie Lian wakes up. He instantly recognizes Hua Cheng. He smiles.
“It’s you,” he whispers, placing a hand on the merman’s cheek. He never stopped thinking of the mermaid. He never regretted saving him.
Hua Cheng just stares and stares and stares. Disbelieving. He treats his beloved’s wounds. He can’t speak above the surface. His vocal cords don’t work right.
Xie Lian remains on a small island while he heals. Hua Cheng hunts fish for him and watches the human cook it. Xie Lian talks at length about where he is from and the life he’s lived. Hua Cheng listens with rapt attention
One day, when Xie Lian has recovered, and meat has returned to his bones, Hua Cheng offers him, on a thin silver chain, a ring made of his own scales.
When Xie Lian puts it on, he transforms into a merman. An elegant one with a pretty white and gold scaled tail.
They go to Hua Cheng’s domain and Xie Lian quickly picks up the language of the merfolk
Hua Cheng explains that Xie Lian can take off the necklace at any time and return to his human life up on land. To return home.
“Maybe I’ll visit someday,” Xie Lian smiles. “But as far as Im concerned I *am* home.”
I think the greatest testament to how much wangxian is That Bitch™ is that in almost any other fandom, the main ship would absolutely be more often disregarded or at least made into a "he has two hands" when faced with the utterly poetic and heartbreaking and BEAUTIFUL relationship between Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian, from the way they were immediately enamoured with each other upon first meeting to the way they both betrayed their own clans to protect the other to Wei Wuxian LITERALLY REWRITING THE LAWS OF NATURE TO SAVE WEN NING AND MAKING HIM INTO SOMETHING NEVER BEFORE SEEN-
They both saved and ruined each other. And yet never once does Wei Wuxian fear what his friend has become or regret saving him, never once does Wen Ning blame him or fear the fact his friend can turn him into a puppet with a mere whistle.
Their bond and trust in each other is unbreakable, their relationship is woven into the fabric of the entire story, in many ways they have defined each other's identity...
Bow down to our esteemed Hanguang-jun cuz in any other fandom, when faced against THAT, AO3 would be like "uuummm Lan Whoji?
Exactly.
To whom it may concern,
Nie Mingjue’s blind spot
That part where Nie Mingjue asks Jin Guangyao something on the lines of ‘are you different than them/ what makes you different’ and then claiming that he himself would never use his privilege for his own benefit is so funny…
Like babe, you are great and have your own trauma to deal with, but you know… you managed to openly attack and injure your sworn brother with zero consequences because you are the privileged legitimate sect-leader, and he is the whoreson grudgingly recognised.
Talk about privilege blindness of the elite… really!!!
"Turns out, he's pretty chill" ahh fanart
MDZS AU where Wei Wuxian gets a System, but the only thing it notifies him of is when Lan Wangji has unlocked a new kink.
