lan wangji is a funny character because wei wuxian jokes about eating his pet rabbits on the regular and lan wangji just accepts it, but if lan xichen ever told the exact same joke, lan wangji would just go ๐ Xiongzhang That Isn't Funny ๐
"A boy who consumes cursed objects"
Oh suguru you would've loved Yuji ๐คง
"And a boy who was blesses with a unique curse technique"
kiss of death
Aftercare
A little something inspired by my brainrotting with @curbstompthestars โฅ๏ธ
โlan xichen deserved better than jin guangyaoโ
lan xichen deserved to be loved by someone who could find him at his lowest and nurse him back to health despite the danger it would put themselves in. someone who lan xichen would have such a connection with they could talk hours and hours into the night together. someone who would never, ever think of hurting him.
He Xuan: You won't believe who just came up here for the third time.
Hua Cheng: ........Don't joke about that.
He Xuan: I'm not, I swear! And he broke a bunch of stuff on his way in.
Hua Cheng: What.
He Xuan: Um, yeah, you know his two babies that you hate? He hit one with a giant bell and smashed the other one's palace.
Hua Cheng: I am definitely in the right religion.
Ok, but listen.
Jiang Cheng, in nothing but his inner robes, gunning it barefoot down the walkaways of Lotus Pier, because his beloved nephew (age four) decided to escape his bed and climb into an unsecured boat that is now being pushed by wind into the lake, much to Jin Ling's wailing dismay.
JC didn't even think to use Sandu, just launched himself full-tilt from the end of the pier with sheer physical brass of knowing he can eat that twenty metres...
A few minutes later, he was rowing the boat back with one arm, the other full of a wailing nephew, adrenaline finally settling down.
Happy birthday to my beautiful princess ๐ฅน๐๐๐
this is part of a collab I did with @fushiglow ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐๐๐ ily
Please take a look!
complicated feelings on jiang fengmian aside, i think the reason i donโt buy into the whole โjfm favoured wei wuxian much more than his sonโ and tend to agree with wwxโs words to jc that of course jfm would be more stern with jc because jcโs his son is becauseโmy asian parenting experience has been somewhat the same (and i actually think this might be a bit of a universal experience regardless), not in the exact way mxtx portrays this relationship but in that my parents and parents of every single person i have ever known (mostly; there are always a few exceptions) show this pattern of being sweet and cordial and generally non-disciplinary towards kids who arenโt their own and being way stricter and more stern with their own children because they are the ones they are parenting. thereโs almost this mutually known boundary that you donโt go and yell at anotherโs kid to correct bad behaviour, rather the impetus of imparting important values and lessons is reserved as your right for your own kids. thatโs how iโve always read jiang fengmianโs dynamic with wei wuxian vs jiang cheng. he was stern with jc because thatโs his son and heir, someone he cares for very deeply. on the other hand, he does care for wei wuxian as well but he has never crossed that mental boundary from uncle to father figure in his head and his interactions with wei wuxian have never read as paternal or favourably partial over jc to me.
"Turns out, he's pretty chill" ahh fanart
