(Please tell me if I am bothering you with my anons, I promise I'll stop, I just really need to rant to someone who understands T^T)
They came onto my post and started being wrong, at this point it's a matter of pride! (Tho I am this close to just doing that, if they keep saying things so factually wrong T^T)
Thanks for the answer, it really helped! We have since then moved on to debate whether WWX's cultivation harmed and impacted him and how he couldn't control it because of it.
(I disagree, personally, as that is what the public is trying to claim without even understanding how WWX's ghost path works, or how any form of cultivation works. I am of the mind that nobody can use any kind of cultivation safely and in a controlled manner while being pushed to the brink as often as WWX was during that period of his life.)
Frankly, it is pretty entertaining, tho I can't say it's a riveting conversation either. Their answer to me saying that the title of the novel was a dig to WWX's cultivation path that actually subvert the trope of demonic cultivation in xianxia novels was : "No, it is because of how he had good intentions and tried to protect everyone by using bad means to achieve goodness,tho in the end, he did more bad things than good ones." And I am just sitting there, losing braincells, wondering what the heck they are talking about.
Still better than the "Both LWJ and JC spent years looking for WWX's soul after his death, LWJ literally played music everyday to call his soul to him 🙄" thing. Why do I see this so often? Like, did it happen in the book? Am I losing my mind? Genuine question here, I feel like I am losing my mind T^T.
I think that particular fanon originated from a popular fandom blogger—and is usually paired with the headcanon that Lan Wangji only went where the chaos was to “chase Wei Wuxian’s spirit”—but I think I also heard it might have been written into some of the adaptations? (Idk about that second one because I’ve only ever completed the book.) Lan Wangji is said to have “gone where the chaos is” during the war, hence his title being given then, and the Lotus Pod Seeds extra seems to imply that this behavior was inspired by his first solo journey out of The Cloud Recesses to pursue lotus pod seeds upon Wei Wuxian’s suggestion during The Cloud Recesses arc. Nowhere in the book does it say that Lan Wangji played music to calm or call Wei Wuxian’s soul. The only place in the novel where it is ever mentioned that music was played in an attempt to call forth his soul is when the sects gathered together after the first siege of the Burial Mounds and were unsuccessful in their attempt. Lan Wangji was not present for this.
As for whether Wei Wuxian’s cultivation physically harms him or not: if the ghost path was harmful to the body, then 1) Lan Wangji would reject its use and 2) Wei Wuxian would limit his use of it and refuse to showcase it to others. For the first part: while Lan Wangji had many objections to the use of the ghost path during the war, he curbs those objections at the end of Wei Wuxian’s first life and actively supports his usage of it through actions in Wei Wuxian’s second life. For the second part: Wei Wuxian uses the ghost path in his second life throughout the entire main story and continuing into the extras. He completely forgoes using a sword as his main weapon of choice. He even displays his techniques to the juniors and explains how they work, but he begins to curb some of his usage with them to give them a chance to solve nighthunts on their own instead of relying on him to solve issues for them.

More Don’t Starve~
So I’ve been making mention of having the idea for a Don’t Starve/Pirates of the Caribbean crossover…good news, writing on it has started. Got about eighty pages going across the franchise thus far so I decided to start doodling some stuff in that vein. Definitely planning to have the first movie rewrite along enough to post in a couple of months, stay tuned. ;)
Also Klei why did neither Wilson nor Maxwell get Swashbuckler skins this is an outrage and we will riot.
Find it on eclipse here, as always please be kind and reblog, not repost, thank you! :D

I liked episode 9 a lot and it made sense narratively, I think they're really giving narrative space to nandermo for them to actually grow into functional empathetic ppl which I love but. why couldn't they have just made marwa a man. it would've been so much better if they had just made marwa a man. my only problem with the marwa plot is that she was a female character being treated as disposable and they could've solved this by making her. a man. and perhaps we could have a female character of color that actually has depth. as a treat

Cass gives the boys an allowance and when Obake scoffs she challenges him to teach them about handling their finances.
Obake translates this as teach them how to launder money.
“Hello dear nephews, today we’re going to learn about bank fraud.”
“BOB!!!”
