Something that is in fact SO important to Wei Wuxian is that, fundamentally, he is hot. He is Thee Hot Girl. He’s shooting five arrows blindfolded as a charged political statement and he’s doing it with zero magic powers AND he was sexy when he did it. He beats out his own brother (sorry, Jiang Cheng) for Most Eligible Bachelor despite being literally dirt poor and not a sect heir. He lives rent free in the minds of everybody twenty years later, to the point that JC and LWJ are literally Like That and NHS literally constructed his revenge plot around him and— look, just watch the scenes at the Second Burial Mounds Siege. Oh, and they use all his inventions, even though he’s an evil heretic, because uhhh they were really good inventions. Actually. Like he was in fact at the top of the field as an inventor and innovator. And he was hot. AND he had no powers. Whoops.
I know we all wish Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao were having beautiful loving sex for 13+ years, but unfortunately JGY refuses to be like his father in any way so he would never cheat on his wife, and LXC would never let himself be a homewrecker. Very tragic circumstances
The real reason we don't get to see Wei Wuxian find out about Jiang Cheng’s sacrifice is because it would literally make him implode. It was all his fault! He couldn't look after his brother and sister, which was the whole point! He was loved just as much as he loved them, and it was more important than repaying a life debt!! He made Jiang Cheng's sacrifice pointless with his own because Wei Wuxian apparently mattered more than his life!! How dare Jiang Cheng decide he matters more than his own life!! So many of the assumptions he makes about himself and those he loves, and all the decisions he's made based on these assumptions, utterly shattered. We saw Jiang Cheng’s meltdown at the golden core reveal but Wei Wuxian's would be a 1000 times worse, character development takes a setback that would need a whole other fifty episodes to recover from.
did you guys know I was reading a sad mdzs fic and I decided to make myself tea after reading the first chapter but then I stood in the middle of the living room and almost cried in front of my whole ass family. they asked for pancakes and I was all "mmmm we downt hwggh hauvre hhhhhh flour" then went to the kitchen to cry
sometimes I wish Jiang Cheng actually had done all the stuff that people accuse him of so I could defend my enjoyment of him the same way Xue Yang fans do ("sometimes your blorbo is simply a fucked up guy who tortures people for fun and likes stabbing his loved ones in the back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what can i say I love a villain"). Instead I have to put up with wgxn stans who think JC killed WWX, beats his nephew every day, and tried to murder wgxn for touching their pinky fingers together while in his house

A few days ago, due to some reasons, I dug out my old mobile phone, and accidentally found a batch of old stills. I took it out, looked at it repeatedly, and went back to the year of filming in a daze. When I woke up in the morning, my little assistant came to tell me that today is the fourth anniversary of the broadcast of this show. It was a coincidence and so fast. Long time no see, Gusu Lanshi Lanyi.
