WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 21
This episode features one of my favorite scenes: the strategy meeting that Wei Wuxian blows into (with such force that the attendees have to cover their eyes) just to flex on all the sect leaders about how they can’t do jack shit without him, after which he saunters off with a smirk like Reputation-era Taylor Swift. Before this scene, when Wei Wuxian is bad, he’s scary-bad; but in this scene, he’s sexy bad. (You can tell Lan Wangji agrees, too, even though he’s all tortured about it. 😂)
But the other thing that’s great about this scene is how it casts a retroactive light on Wei Wuxian’s character throughout the whole flashback arc up to this point. Because when you see Wei Wuxian running around Cloud Recesses breaking rules, punching sect heirs, later running away from home to go adventuring with his bestie, you think, “this guy doesn’t give a shit about propriety and decorum and hierarchy.” But once you’ve seen the strategy-meeting scene--in which Wei Wuxian:
(1) gives the world’s shallowest, most half-assed bow to a meeting of people who all outrank him (some of them by a lot!),
(2) says a bunch of vague bullshit about the Yin Iron that boils down to “maybe I’ll have a way to counter it in a month, maybe I won’t, idk, nothing you can do either way, sucks to be you,”
(3) point-blank refuses to take questions or explain further, and
(4) waltzes out like he's got somewhere more important to be, pausing only to
(5) be really rude to Lan Xichen on his way out,
you realize that, actually, the prior version of Wei Wuxian did care about that stuff, at least a little—because this is what it looks like when Wei Wuxian really has no fucks to give.

The backstory that I want to know the most from MDZS is Madam Lan. I have so many questions about how that story went.
Why did she kill the teacher? I doubt it was just a fun little murder she committed cause if it was then they never would have let her live let alone let her children be the heirs of the sect. Plus a woman killing a man in a position of power is usually for a good reason.
If she and Qingheng-jun were in seclusion in different houses, how did Wangji and Xichen come about? Like did they have conjugal visits with each other or something? Was it only because Qingheng-jun needed and heir? If so, why was Wangji also allowed to be born?
How did she die? Was it suicide because she was confined to a home and only allowed to see her children once a month? Did she get sick?
Why were her children only allowed to see her once a month? That is a really long time to go in between visits especially for kids who were probably taken away from her right after being born.
I just think there is a lot about her that needs to be explained.
