A scenario where Wei Wuxian went to Koi Tower to hand himself over instead of the Wens, trying to prove that he had nothing to do with Jin Zixun’s curse….. Support me on Ko-Fi? <3

all right guys, let’s have a conversation about linguistic register, Lan Wangji, and I guess Wei Wuxian can come too

(and I do genuinely mean conversation, I’d love to hear other people’s input on this, because I did just write a long-ass post about the subjectivity of interpretation in translations)

So when I started interacting with the fandom and reading people’s fics, I got really confused by the way some folks were writing dialogue for Lan Wangji; he often sounded super awkward, spoke in fragments, and sometimes exclusively in third person. To be fair, all of those are elements of his speech at various times, but like, seeing it in English-language material felt like a really heavy-handed way of rendering it in translation?

I guess when you use third person within the first three episodes of the show, it makes a pretty big impression on the audience

This is not at all intended to be a criticism of people who are 1000% writing and creating wonderful work, which is more than I can say for myself, but I want to poke and prod and tease at some linguistic nuance here.

Take a deep breath, grab a pot of tea (this’ll take more than a cup), because we’re going to take the scenic route on this one–

I think one of the biggest things about being proship is just. Not. Fucking caring about things

Like oh my god nobody talks about how FREEING it feels! Like holy shit! I really DONT have to spend all my time obsessing over what other people do all the time! I DONT have to give a shit if I don’t want to! I have so much more time to myself now! Do you know how awesome that is? To be able to not care?

Wwx: *trying to flirt*

Wwx: Can you help me? I’m lost.

Lwj: Mn.

Wwx: Could you tell me where the road to your heart is?

Lwj: Shouldn’t Wei Ying know that already? Wei Ying was the one who paved it.

Wwx: *is flustered* *blushing intensifies*

Preview:

“Go set that table quickly,” Liang Meifen instructed one of the servers in her inn as she eyed the trio outside. “We might have customers coming in,” she added as she observed the man in black with a red ribbon in his hair and the other man in light blue robes too pristine for the tiny marketplace in Yiling. She could see a small boy, no more than five years old, running around from stall to stall, eyeing the toys with delight before running back to the two men. Given the way the child always returned to the black-robed man and clung to him without ceremony or decorum, Meifen concluded that they were related. Perhaps the angelic blue-robed man was a visitor; he was most certainly not from anywhere nearby. Just as she had thought and hoped, the black-robed man gestured to her inn and his companion nodded after some hesitation. With a triumphant smile, Meifen glanced at the server who nodded quickly, grabbing his small booklet to welcome the customers and take their orders. She watched silently, utterly intrigued by the odd trio, and tried to gauge their relationship. Both men were too handsome to be regular village folk. While the blue-robed man was unquestionably from a large, well-to-do, reputable clan, the man with the red ribbon had a very imposing aura and an extraordinary presence.

Summary:

By then, zi shi had come and gone; and Lan Xichen, whose heretofore-comfortable bed had never seemed as cold and empty as it did that night, was forced to resign himself to the fact that Nie Mingjue would not arrive before tomorrow.

He completed his nightly ablutions as he always did—in the purifying hot spring in the Hanshi’s garden—and went to bed, wrapping his arms about Nie Mingjue’s favorite pillow in an effort to forget that his husband was absent.

Or: three months after his wedding, Nie Mingjue is delayed on his way to the Cloud Recesses.
