#i will forever love wwx's connection to the wens #it's so similar to his connection to the jiangs #always just on the outside #never a full member #always doing whatever he can for them #always on the edge of transactional love and conditional acceptance #but also always actually loved and accepted #even if nobody says it #but because nobody says it he never hears it #the untamed #wei wuxian #wen qing

white-hair wwx based on Chinese story 白毛女

#i love this so much #also i get to give this fucker white hair in Words for a minute and i can't fucking wait to post that shit #it's gonna be a hot minute but it's already written >:)

“You shouldn’t glorify violence in your stories” well I’m glorifying it. Sexualizing it even.

#fr tho #writing #this is like all of ch 22 btw so if you're not into this... well honestly i'm not sure how you made it this far in this fic

[gravitywonagain]

I write for myself

"came back wrong" but it's food that you heated up in the microwave

#good info #but also su she is the pizza and my cranked the microwave as high and fast as it would go #wagbfm

Bonus (Wei Wuxian’s reaction):

“Oh right, Wei-gongzi, if you happen to see Xingchen, can you relay a few things to him? Just say — Nevermind.”

#ugh and he didn't even see him again anyway and what if #what if sl had been vulnerable in that moment? #what if wwx had seen one of his heroes open up and send a message to his partner (even if it would never be delivered) #(maybe even because it would never be delivered) #(but it wanted to be) #(but sl wanted it to be) #how much would his reaction to jc and lwj when they found him after searching so long have changed? #probably not enough #but this kills me every fucking time #song lan #wei wuxian #the untamed

Only the moon And the promise we made Remains unchanged.

While waiting for Wei Wuxian to reincarnate, Lan Wangji reminisces: A modern day AU.

#so beautiful #fic inspiration

Ch. 21 of Words are Gonna Bleed from Me is up!

“Aren’t you supposed to be at a funeral?” Wei Wuxian asks. The LanlingJin soldier holding his right arm smacks him for it, but not before he catches what looks like fear flashing in Meng Yao’s eyes. Meng Yao turns to someone and snaps, “Why is he still allowed to speak?” Fuck. ~Or: The trap snaps shut, catching far more than Wei Wuxian is prepared to lose.

#my in-laws were in town over the weekend and then i had to take a quick business trip #now i'm super sick (but not from traveling! from coming home which /sucks/) #but we're still cruising through it :) #also wife helped me build the tension out better and she was maybe crying a little during her readthrough this morning #because once again this ch is mean on purpose

The one lesson he took to heart, at the cost of himself.

#yes to all of this #except #i feel like it's less about wwx's sense of self-worth which we very often attribute it to #(i do all the time) #and more about 'i can take it' #wwx wants to protect his siblings and can and will do anything he thinks is necessary to do so #but not out of a sense of 'they're more important than me' or 'i don't matter' #but rather 'i will take this pain/suffering/hardship because i know i can and it will ease their burden' #'i have suffered before and i will suffer again but they shouldn't have to' #that's his whole excuse re: the core swap #jc is suffering and i can take his place and survive #yunmeng siblings #wei wuxian #the untamed

haters gonna see you command a zombie army with your dark magic flute and complain that you don’t have a sword

ok before i fall asleep i want to get something out of my system. there is this parallel I've been thinking about, a certain combination of characters that we meet twice in the story:

- the blind man. he's righteous and upright. the blind man loves the murderer and believes that he knows him better than anyone else, both the good parts and the bad parts.

- the murderer. he loves the blind man, as genuine as he can. he sincerely shows the blind man his real face, just not all of it. he loves the blind man, but not enough to stop being the murderer.

- the pretender. they know who the murderer really is, but pretend to be blind to survive. telling the truth to the blind man is risking too much, so they're waiting patiently to lead somebody else to the murderer.

even the endings of both stories are kinda similar. the murderer dies, the blind man's soul shatters.

ps. just realised there is a 4th character, who loves the blind man, but loses to the murderer, and gets turned into a fierce corpse or vengeful spirit or both. he gets to make the final strike when the murderer is defeated.

anyway. fun. good night!
