Lan Wangji + When Wei Wuxian Is Not Looking At Him

the untamed + text posts

❤️❤️❤️

Ok, so here’s the thing: Lan Wangji does not love Wei Wuxian to the exclusion of his morality.

What I mean by this is that Lan Wangji does not love Wei Wuxian, and it is only incidental that Wei Wuxian is also a good person. Lan Wangji loves Wei Wuxian because he is a good person, someone whose morality matches his own, a like soul, if you will. Lan Wangji choosing to stick with, support, and protect Wei Wuxian in his second life isn’t simply because he doesn’t want to lose wwx a second time, but because he wholly believes that wwx is in the right and there is no need to second-guess him (unlike in wwx’s first life where lwj was torn between clan expectations and wholeheartedly supporting wwx). These things are inherently intertwined in wangxian’s love narrative, to the point where it is actually out of character to suggest that Lan Wangji would come to care about someone he did not believe was righteous, let alone someone with confirmed dubious morality. Because Lan Wangji is also a morally upright character, and that is not a trait of his that he is willing to compromise for love.

“In his whole life he had been honest and righteous and immaculate—you were the only mistake he made!”

extremely normal behaviour

xD

I showed one of my non-MDZS friends this part of the book

And asked her what she thinks happened

This is how it went:

Friend: they fucked, right? This has "i had a one night stand with the CEO not knowing who he was and then i met him at the office next day" vibes.

Me: no, they actually had a sword fight. And that's not an innuendo.

Friend, visibly disappointed: oh... well, i think they should have fucked. It wouldn't have taken the story five volumes if they did, for sure.
