~ House of Gentians || Wangxian AU comic ~
~Synopsis~
An Alternate Universe set in canon MDZS world where Yiling Laozu Wei Wuxian admitted defeat and surrendered to the other sects of the cultivation world. However, hearing Lan Wangji’s confession, which he doesn’t care much for, he proposed to make a deal with Lan Wangji – he will return with him to Gusu just like the other always wanted to, and even marry him, all in order to have Lan Wangji’s word that the Wen remnants will stay out of harm.
Wei Wuxian, being legally married to Lan Wangji, is now a member of Gusu Lan sect, and thus Lan Wangji can keep him out of harm. However Lan Wangji is bound to another contract as well: he promised to Lan Qiren and to the other sect leaders that the Yiling Laozu will stay confined in one place and never leave for the rest of his days. Thus, Wei Wuxian stays in the house that belonged to Lan Wangji’s mother, who shared almost the same fate as Wei Wuxian in the past.
Shattered, weak, defeated, golden-core-less and hopeless, Wei Wuxian takes what he believes to be his punishment, not believing that Lan Wangji actually wants to shelter him from harm, and not believing that he really loves him, thinking this all is some cruel joke. Lan Wangji will have to deal with all that, earn Wei Wuxian’s trust and prove him his feelings are true.
~Background of this project~
This comic started out completely randomly with just a quick sketch of Yiling Laozu (first drawing in the first arc). I imagined him confined in Lan Wangji’s mother’s house, married to him out of contract, and agreeing to do “wify-papapa” stuff with him with ambivalence, thinking it’s his part of the deal. The next few sketches are depiction of various scenes from that idea, but then slowly I started developing it into an organized continuous plot, and now I have ideas for the rest of it!
People on twitter and beyond seemed to like it and it really motivates me to continue! ~START READING HOUSE OF GENTIANS~ ARC 1 ARC 2
So true, so true.
Be sure to read all the comments, too.
whenever people in fandom refer to lan wangji as “lan zhan” there is an instinctive part of me that reacts like “how dare you be so informal, that is ‘lan wangji’ or ‘hanguang-jun’ to you” which is, frankly, absurd
(but also. how dare you be so informal)
Do you all know 杨可爱Yang Ke’ai yet?
She does lots of popular covers and mash-ups and “how to memorize 5-50 Chinese poems via music” songs in a Classical Chinese style (chinoiserie?) with a UKULELE. If you’re not watching her beautiful videos of her singing and playing music in full hanfu, you’d think she was playing a Pipa or a Guzheng or even a Guqin, but, no — that’s a Ukulele.
Anyway, have you all heard her Mo Dao Zu Shi mashup yet? 14 songs from Audio Drama, Donghua, and Fan Music (a lot of the creators of which were also part of the Audio Drama and Donghua).
It’s awesome and deserves many many views. Enjoy!

WangXian Phoenix Mountain Kiss Censored Panels?
Ok I don't know how official this is...if it's like that "leak" of WangXian's drunk kiss or just a really really good fanart, but these're SUPPOSEDLY the missing panels from WangXian's Phoenix Mountain kiss in chap 185 of the manhua that were chopped due to good old censorship.
It's so weird cuz I just read another danmei manhua that had their kiss intact and they even kinda showed a nonexplicit handjob, so if these are indeed official, I wish they wouldn't be so hard on MDZS.

I don’t have issues for the other main MXTX ships, because the romance in TGCF and MDZS does not suffer from a lot of those issues. Hualian is a VERY healthy relationship/romance, with a lot of the issues that COULD be brought up being dealt with or explained later. Wangxian starts out with some questionable things (for example: teen lwj wanting to SA wwx), but they’re resolved BEFORE the couple begins to view each other in a genuine romantic light, and when they’re brought up again, LWJ doesn’t gaslight WWX about it, and is apologetic. He doesn’t make excuses or manipulate him, and they have enough trust built up at that point and open communication that WWX is able to understand it.
That said, I still am open about these issues with people I recommend the series to. That’s because even if contextually, certain aspects that would be toxic in other pairings might work in this one, it doesn’t CHANGE the actions of the characters. As fans, it’s part of our responsibility to make sure newer fans have a good experience in fandom. This doesn’t mean you have to change what you do - but simply be open about your content and fandom (thoroughly tagging, acknowledging problematic aspects, and being kind towards differing opinions), and allowing people to make informed choices to choose to interact or not interact with content.
Both Bingqiu and Moshang undoubtedly have toxic/questionable aspects to their relationship, but when looking at why I think Moshang works, and Bingqiu just doesn’t, I mainly point to how the “abuse” of their partners is handled.
When SQQ is abused by Binghe, Binghe plays the victim. Instead of being straightforward and serious, he cries and pleads, making HIMSELF the one in need of comfort, and causing SQQ to feel bad for being the ACTUAL victim. Moreover, Binghe is FULLY AWARE what he’s doing when he hurts or manipulates Qingqiu. There isn’t an excuse there.
Meanwhile, with MBJ and SQH, there’s a clear reason for their miscommunication: an issue of culture. While Binghe was raised in human society, Mobei-jun is very much attuned to demon culture - and has blind spots. But unlike Binghe, when he becomes aware of the harm he’s doing, and how it’s being perceived, he doesn’t play the victim:
He sincerely apologizes to Shang Qinghua
He offers a way of “correcting” it
He then tries to do what Shang Qinghua had told him would be better understood, showing that he cares more about Qinghua’s feelings than tradition.
Mobei-Jun isn’t mean, like I see a lot of fanworks imply. Mobei-Jun sincerely does NOT WANT to hurt Shang Qinghua, and when he realizes he is, he stops. Binghe hurts Shen Qingqiu knowingly, and when he does, he plays the victim or guilts Shen Qingqiu. This is why Moshang, in my eyes, just works.
MDZS au where Wangxian were actual bunnies the whole time. Like. They still did everything in canon. They were just also rabbits.
people see Jiang Cheng shouting at someone about their war crimes against humanity and also several other species of monsters and just see the target of his Mommy Issues Sponsored Rage Hours is just.
MDZS: not even badly summarized just. Bad. This is bad.
Nie Huaisang: why is no one calling me out for being evil :( i literally am blasting look what you made me do on repeat in my earbuds can u not hear it Wei Wuxian: im on my shojo protagonist arc mb Jiang Cheng: ur huaisang??????? Nie Huaisang: ?? Jiang Cheng: i didnt recognise u. thot u were a girl. Nie Huaisang: oh lol me too sometimes lowkey Jiang Cheng: whats in your shirt that ive not been staring at for the past hour then. Nie Huaisang: oh! pulls out two pristine cat skulls from his shirt like the worlds worst bra pads GLAD YOU ASKED
mxtx characters who i think would benefit greatly if someone just called them “good boy” more often:
lan wangji. i mean its canon.
quan yizhen. i mean just look at him.
luo binghe wants to be called a good boy but won’t. because he is not.
mu qing gives the vibe that he wants to be called a good girl but is very conflicted by that
hua cheng. hes a golden retriever in a black cat body.
jiang cheng. bro just wants someone to tell him he’s good in general.
jin ling. he def gets jealous of fairy when lan sizhui gives her head pats.
MDZS x The Magnus Archives… I need it….
POV: Ur Lan Qiren grading assignments for the Gusu Quartet
“Lan Wanji, your essay is excellent, but I don’t remember “Wei Wuxian’s name surrounded by little hearts” being part of the rubric. Wei Wuxian, this would be a great essay, if I assigned you an essay about the different rabbit species in Gusu, and not about the intersection of ethical theory and abstinence within Cultivation history. Nie Huaisang, your excuse for an intro paragraph is clearly word for word copied from Jiang Wanyin, and the rest are just drawings of birds. Jiang Wanyin, stop letting Nie Huaisang copy off you. And Jin Zixuan… I cannot read your handwriting.”
CONCEPT: During the CR study era, LWJ is hit with a curse that gives him bunny ears. Unlike him, his ears aren’t great at hiding his emotions!
Send me links to your fave Pinterest outfits and an MXTX character, I’ll draw them in it (will do some ships too, if you have couples outfits)
@definitely-not-27kirune12 does this work? :)
Such elegant boys*.
*when they want to be! 😅
Add your ship + fantasy concept and I might sketch it ;)
For context: the Hualian AU centers around an immortal witch, Xie Lian, and the little fox spirit he rescued from a group of hunters 200 years ago. Now, in present day, Xie Lian has been cursed and runs a failing apothecary, running into constant trouble… until a mysterious fox with a missing eye begins showing up to help him at work!
standards? What are those again?
*waves hand at my blorbos* I need you two to make out right now. For science.
