#delinquent wwx

[bnnywngs]

A young man with a elegant uniform was standing still right in front of the school gate, arms crossed and a stern expression in his beautiful face. By the crest on his chest and the color, it was clear he was from the extremely expensive prestigious private school two streets away from the public one he was currently glaring at - Cloud Recesses Academy. And by his look (the way his shoes shined, his bag looked expensive, and his haircut was very much like a young master) he could see he was from a prestigious family, too.

Yiling High School was an average public institution with it's lack of facilities and funds. It has a quite gloomy vibe around, with dark unwashed outside walls, dirty overgrown lawn and the vandalization that could be seen anywhere you walked by.

"Maybe he came to ambush our Louzu." a student murmured to their friends.

"Eh~? But why would Louzu be close to these rich kids?" one of them asked back "He's always talking shit about them."

"Right? Maybe this one didn't like it." another one laughed "They're quite sensitive, right?"

"Yeah!" they all laughed together, staring at the private school boy as they walked past.

They boy didn't even move to acknowledge the students staring at him not at all discreet, he was just standing there waiting for something or someone.

The ones ready for a good gossip, or who liked to watch their Laozu, the leader of the delinquent group of these school, the fear of the others, fight stayed close by waiting to see what was going to happen.

Some girls got interested in his beautiful face and wanted to get close, but decided to also wait.

They didn't need to wait for too long, because not long after, a boy with the same uniform as them came running out of the building, his long hair flying behind him quite prettily. It was the Yiling Laozu himself, going straight to the private school boy.

"Lan Zhan!" he yelled, a bright smile in his face.

The stern expression have way to a soft look, a barely there smile, and his arms uncrossed to open in wait. The Yiling Laozu jumped and hugged his boy with his long arms and legs, looking very happy.

"Wei Ying." the one holding him with too much easy said.

"Did you came to pick me up?"

"Mn." he nodded, sparing a small look around him using the corner of his eyes "Came to pick my boyfriend so we can walk home together."

Every student around them froze in shock hearing those words. Since when their Laozu had a boyfriend?!

With the happiest expression they ever saw on his pretty face, Yiling Laozu kissed the other boy on the mouth quite shamelessly, putting the last nail on the gossip billboard.

"Then, let's go!" Yiling Laozu said, getting down and walking away with his boyfriend holding hands in a very, extremely romantic way, the sunset making everything look even more surreal.

"Eat the rich, huh?" someone said in the silence they left behind.

It was complete and utter chaos the other morning when Wei Ying arrived in school, a hickey on the back of his neck.

(apparently, someone tried to confess to Wei Ying that week, and couldn't take no as answer and kept insisting and stalking him, so the boyfriend, Lan Zhan, decided to take matters into his own (big) hands)

Obsessed with AUs where wwx is a fox spirit but may I propose an additional idea?

wwx is just an ordinary cultivator but the Lan elders think he's a fox spirit

It's surely the only way he was able to seduce lwj. There's no way lwj would behave this way with an ordinary man.

Lan Qiren has to have monthly meetings on this where he reassures elders over and over that no, Wei Wuxian is not a fox spirit. No, he is not stealing Wangji's yang or qi. Yes, he is causing disturbances but that's because he's a disobedient, dishonorable delinquent. And please stop trying to find fox dens to destroy. It's ruining the landscape of Cloud Recesses and harming local wildlife.

#mdzs #lan qiren watching elders fuck up a hole in the ground: i didnt sign up for any of this #wwx watching elders fuck up holes: CAN I JOIN?? #he likes digging holes #lan wangji leads him away

[gentil-minou]

My brain has been full of thoughts about bad boy Wei Wuxian who's really bad at being a bad boy like he feels bad about littering cause it makes extra work for others and he coughs whenever he tries to smoke and a leather jacket is so uncomfortable he misses his hoodie

Like he rolls up on his bicycle (not motorbike he knows Popo doesn't like how loud they are so he rides her old bike instead) and he tries to look nig and tough cause idk he thinks the aesthetic is good but then he sneezes all dainty like cause he's got pollen allergies

Everyone thinks he cuts class cause he's a rebel and delinquent and he's outside up to some mischief but actually he learned it all already and he needs to help babysit A-Yuan so he has to prioritize

Lan Wangji is all Wei Wuxian is so intimidating and probably would never like a goodie two shoes like me meanwhile Wei Wuxian is trying to figure out how to pose sexily next to yellow bike with a basket on it so he can attract Gege's attention

(Naturally in this AU Lan Wangji looks like the biggest need ever we are talking thick glasses pocket square shirt buttoned to the top baggy sweaters, but he's into extreme sports and he's the one with a fancy mountain bike and he goes mountain climbing every weekend)

(his eyesight is too bad for contacts. he has to wear sports goggles like these)

(wwx thinks they're cute)

#like im sorry i just cant help it i think wwx is too good boy coded its in his dna #idk why i have to make them like this but its so important to me that wx is just lame #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #the untamed #wangxian #wei wuxian #lan wangji #mdzs musings #bushy writing

To everyone who reblogged the thing about saying lwj was right to be pissed off at wwx for being a rowdy little delinquent in his home with "I don't see how this is controversial" I regret to inform you that someone has already argued in the tags that he's actually blameless because 'everyone else was probably doing it too cr was just biased against him because of nepotism'

Matchmaker Lan Qiren

Thinking about a friendship that grows slowly between wwx and lqr at a local mahjong place. They are unlikely friends for a number of reasons (not limited to their age gap and seemingly clashing personalities) but they are friends nonetheless.

It started with wwx volunteering at the center to help out. lqr had judged his appearance immediately, deeming him an unruly delinquent, and assuming he was there having been forced to do community hours. In truth, wwx wanted to get more hours for his college applications.

After weeks of clashing, that comes to light in a bit of a row and lqr feels embarrassed for having judged harshly and making assumptions. wwx was a bit hurt, but brushed it off (which only made lqr reiterate his apologies for such improper behaviour, making wwx squirm)

Thus began the unlikely friendship between the two. When wwx went off to college (a very good one, thank you) lqr was proud yet sad at having lost his friend for months at a time. But wwx would always go back to the center to play mahjong with lqr whenever he was in town.

Eventually, lqr started trying to gauge wwx's interests in the dating sense, "casually" bringing up how his nephew is so smart and handsome. To his dismay, wwx never seemed to show interest. Never one to give up unless having a clear sign to stop, lqr continues to bring it up.

Eventually, he outright says "you should meet my nephew, I think you two would get along well." wwx tries to brush him off citing how busy he is with school and that he's really not good enough for his nephew, but shuts up real quick when lqr shows him a photo of lwj.

lqr smirks to himself as he watches wwx blush. Next is to bring it up to said nephew. The boy is stubborn is attempting to get out of it but also unwilling to tell his uncle no outright. So, he plans a meeting for them, inviting wwx over for dinner.

When lqr answers the door to an awkward wwx, he ushers him in and gives his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before moving into the main room. lqr watches in delight as his nephew and future nephew (he has been referring to wwx as such for a while now) lock eyes, both blushing.

No one speaks until lqr clears his throat, startling them, and tells them to join him in the dining room. He smiles smugly to himself as he walks out of the room. Dinner goes incredibly, wwx chattering away and lwj being entirely receptive and responsive.

wwx even offers to clean up and do the dishes, lwj immediately stating he will help. So, lqr sits in the living room and drinks his tea. After a while, he pokes his head into the kitchen and finds wwx and lwj making out. He goes back to his tea and smiles.

Success.

----------

I have two thoughts: either wangxian were already dating before and just ket lqr think he really set them up for a while OR he really did fully set them up and they are just wangxian speedy lol

ep37: a-qing just can't catch a break

the way his face just lights up when he has the opportunity to do something helpful...I mean I kind of get it but also. kid. get a hobby besides being a teacher's pet PLEASE

ohh neat. wwx talked a lot in the book about commoner's solutions to problems without cultivator involvement. it would have been nice to see a more pointed critique of the highly specialized and often impractical and elitist education the rich sect kids get

I love this shot. so mysterious and eerie! and he is so handsome <3

it makes me so mad that wwx is joking about a-qing's looks, not so much because I care about him being a dick and scaring the kids on purpose, but because it's a shitty and narrow-minded way to view a young person who is clearly suffering some kind of horrible...death? every single junior includes some comment on her beauty or looks and it's so annoying. she's more than that! she deserves more!

wwx scolding jl for emulating jc and sounding like a brat (or maybe more accurately to wwx's complaints, a little bitch) is weirdly satisfying to me. no he thinks the way jc raised jl sucks, actually, and he's trying to fix jl's attitude. here jl goes along with wwx's prank and then yells at him afterwards, even though he himself played along. a bit different from the jc situation sin he's a child, but I imagine wwx got irritated when he was younger a lot when jc would go along with his schemes and them turn around and complain about him as if he didn't particupate

STOP WEARING HIS FACE! YOU SICK FUCK. it's so bizarre to see xxc in black that I didn't even recognize him this time around. with the eyes hidden, it's a bit harder to tell

when I was reading swbts this weekend, she mentions that nobody actually follows all the precepts, because it's impractical and absurd. but there were some really obvious ones like 'don't murder' and it's nice to see that the lan precepts include some good things in there besides the well-criticized 'don't laugh without a cause' and such. also, lwj is the only person following every single one anyway and that doesn't have anything to do with whether he's a good person or whether he thinks wwx is a good person, either. they're really not connected and his character development is realizing that

aww, they're all offering their blood up. this little scene where wwx asked if anyone has blank talismans and commenting on their cultivation level was also explained further in the books - strong cultivators can write their own, but still-learning kids need to bring talismans that have already been written

wwx's face here is so sad. he admired sl and xxc so much and wanted to emulate them, and to see them come to an end like this...must be devastating. as if he hadn't already lost so much

ALSO the idea that would-be lovers turned on each other and tried to kill each other. I imagine that would be very difficult for wwx given his own history with lwj

spooky!

ssc's actor did so well. that smile is all xy

WEI WUXIAN CALLING XY A DRAMA QUEEN

help why did he say it like that

oh damn that's jgy

xy interacting with wwx is so funny to me honestly. like a huge fanboy. his greatest psychosexual obsession is with xxc but he definitely has a thing for wwx too I know he wants to be topped or something

classic line. we love not dehumanizing our autistic undead friend 👍

STOP CARESSING HIS SWORD YOU CREEPY FUCK

oh and this is also funny. wwx like 'are you bullying me since I'm still recovering?' (implying he IS recovering and could still rebuild a core 👀 and xy being like 'yep! as you recall I am a delinquent and I am acting like it!' and wwx being like 'no fair. MAN'

omg and as soon as lwj appears and xy is like 'hehe we meet again' and lwj just refuses to answer, summons xxc's sword, and delivers THIS devastating line. love it. no bullshit. no tolerance

I feel like xy recognizes lwj as objectively handsome but he's not really into him

his two-bladed sword is so sick too bad he's evil

I don't really think about villains in terms of whether they're 'redeemable' or not and I don't like to think of people as ontologically evil but man I don't think xy was ever going to be anything besides what he was. it did suck that he was mutilated as a child, and it must have been difficult growing up on the streets, but the glee with which he talks about mass murder makes me think he would have kind of taken any excuse to go wild and murder a ton of people. 'oh he just needed love and understand' well he got it! and he used it to trick the person who loved him into murdering more people and then he tortured and murdered their teenage ward/friend. I can appreciate a reading where he's more harmless and just funny in his destructiveness, but I will never be able to swallow AUs where he's genuinely a good person. loving murder is just too much a part of him!

there's also a line where the juniors make wwx say that lwj is good at stuff and he seems very taken aback to be asked, which is weird bc aren't they at least traveling companions? maybe he was confused at being asked to give an account with authority since he knows the kids still think he's a random jin exile who's known lwj for like. a few weeks max. man I don't like that moment, it seems really forced and awkward even if wwx is still in his 'I don't quite understand why lwj is doing this or how long it'll last' era. which also seems weird given them moments they've already shared and the comfort wwx has in stating with lwj? man, maybe it's easier if he doesn't have to think about it or explain it to other people. I GUESS

god this sucks....that's his last connection to his mama

A QING!!!!!!!!

wwx comforting her is so. he's been such a dick to the kids this episode so it's nice to remember what a kind person he is when it really counts. and a-qing hasn't felt human touch in a very long time

and when he says he'll do empathy, it's jl who objects! one of those 'aw, he really does care' moments

personal highlights:

while this wasn't as horribly dull and poorly done as the last third-party character focused plot (I seriously spent a lot of 34 thinking 'oh god, cql is bad after all), it didn't offer a lot in terms of special moments or humor. a solid 5/10. mediocre. let's see

wwx talking about folk remedies

the kids offering their blood. because they love him

wwx calling xy a drama queen

wwx seeing sl and xxc's bodies and realizing what state they're in. that shit hurted

"you don't deserve this sword' TELL HIM HANGUANG-JUN

in the event of an ‘the untamed, but as a house party’ au i can’t decide whether it would be funnier for Lan Wanji (who got drunk because Wei Wuxian left the party after picking a fight with the Jins hosting and also everyone in general b/c they made the Wen siblings leave, and declared he wasn’t coming back but then snuck back in an hour later, but Lan Wanji had decided by then to get drunk for the first time ever because clearly he was never going to see his crush again) to actually acquire a chicken despite there being no chicken farms anywhere in the area, or to drag wwx over to the freezer and really intensely hand him a box of chicken nuggets

#the untamed #the other thing i've been thinking about nonstop is song lan and xiao xingchen having the first fight of their perfect couplehood #and xiao xingchen hanging out on the back steps because song lan took the car and he's debating whether he can ethically #square with himself over supporting a rideshare company #he's then found by local juvenile delinquent xue yang who lies about who he is and they wind up going to denny's together #song lan almost immediately regrets the argument but then has to spend 3 hours looking for xxc #and when he finds them xy pitches a fit because HOW DARE YOU RUIN THIS #WE HAVE MADE A LIFE IN THIS DENNY'S PARKING LOT TOGETHER YOU BASTARD #he then goes back to the party and spends the rest of the night #trying to get wwx to text xxc for him because 'he won't answer my texts and you're so good and getting people to listen pleeeease' #*at not and i'm not retyping that

[pharahsgf]

feel free to ignore but I was thinking of funny things that sizhui might have done as a child, such as kidnapping a rabbit (with jingyi's help, probably--as best friends I imagine they would be partners in crime for any mischief or shenanigans) and bringing it to the jingshi as a gift for lan wangji. unfortunately this rabbit IMMEDIATELY causes mayhem upon its release into their home and poor a-yuan can't figure out how to calm it down. lan wangji walks in and sees the chaos and is like [alarmed but also trying not to laugh at a-yuan's obvious panic] "hm." he catches the rabbit, calms it down, then gently explains to a-yuan (who is convinced that he is a Terrible Criminal for what he has done and will be Banished Forever, forced to roam the world to Atone For His Crimes) that while he should not have done this bc the rabbit's home is the forest, it's all right bc no harm has been done and they can put the rabbit back with its family. together a-yuan and lan wangji return the rabbit to its usual home and a-yuan solemnly promises never to kidnap animals ever again, no matter how cute they are. years later wei wuxian hears about this incident and laughs at sizhui for his Hardened Criminal Past as an Abductor Of Small Animals

shut uppp that is so cute!! a'yuan being so little but still wanting to do something nice for lan wangji that he'd appreciate... and lan wangji not even being mad about his home getting wrecked bc it means a'yuan loves him <3 i can already imagine lan wangji sitting in the jingshi years later with that fond little smile, recounting the tales of a'yuan's dark past, while a'yuan burning w embarrassment has a staring contest w the table and wei wuxian wheezes with laughter

wwx: my little a'yuan, breaking the rules and causing chaos in the cloud recesses, just like i taught him 🥺 i always knew you had it in you to rebel against the system 💞 all that lan goodness but you take after me in the end!! my little delinquent 🥰

i'm confused about the jin disciples thing in the girl!wwx update

midnight sun [snippet 6], following [x]

oh that, sorry i intentionally kept it vague. wwx was implying that she slept with disciples of the jin clan. 

here’s the deal: 

jgs wanted the stygian amulet and he thought he could get it if wwx also married into the jin clan, so various jin disciples definitely tried to chat up wwx.

everybody else has the same idea. they think just bc wwx is a woman that she would necessarily ... fall in line if the “right guy” comes along. in addition to jgs trying to renew the marriage between yanli and zixuan, he also brought up the fact that “ah, A-ying is at the right age to marry as well. A-cheng, you’re the head of the family now. Your sisters’ futures are your responsibility.” So like... various young masters and head disciples tried to court wwx in the intervening time between end of the war and the phoenix mountain hunt. 

in canon, wwx’s emotional spiral manifested in day-drinking and shirking off his responsibility and appearing like a delinquent. Self-sabotage is his signature move.

wwx in this au (which i have called ‘midnight sun’ lol cheesy I know but whatever) realizes that she can use this opportunity to help jiang cheng build connections and bring in resources. she entertains all of the young masters that come knocking, promising herself to no one and frustrating the jins to no end. it’s not exactly speaking respectable lady-like behaviour, but she doesn’t care. she goes out to drink with them, have walks with them, comes home late after a night out with them. and from these encounters she learns information about the other sects that she then casually tells jiang cheng. does she rack up a reputation as being kind of a whore? maybe, but the cultivators want the stygian amulet more than anything right now so they still keep trying to get with her. 

jgs was holding out hope that wwx would “fall in line” pretty much until the banquet scene when she confronted all of them and then walked out. of course when it became apparent that she cannot be tamed (lol pun intended), the jins quickly rallied the cultivators against her. then the word becomes: oh yiling laozu is an evil seductress who preys on innocent men. 

the only “innocent man” wwx had any kind of “contact’ with was lan wangji, and that entire encounter is... very muddled. it’s completely consensual, but they do get into a verbal and physical altercation first in the phoenix mountain forest (wwx being very verbally provocative, itching for a fight, and lwj not knowing how to communicate at all)

Example: WWX: 怎么啦，蓝湛，看着那些百家世子们眼红了？难道，不苟言笑若冰若霜的含光君也想做我夷陵老祖的裙下之臣？What’s wrong Lan Zhan, are you jealous of the young masters of these gentry families? Could it be that the cold, illustrious, taciturn Hanguang-jun also wants to be a subject beneath Yiling Laozu’s skirt?   LWJ: *frustrated* Wei Ying! *takes a step forward*  WWX *juts one end of chenqing into LWJ’s chest* If you want me, you’ll have to win me first.  

so the whole tryst becomes somewhat of a mess; as willy shakespeare would put it: these violent delights have violent ends. 

the irony is that wwx jumps out of the bushes after to yell at jin zixuan for bullying jiang yanli when she basically goaded lwj into deflowering her and plowing her into the ground five minutes ago. 

and before you ask yes, lxc was side-eyeing lwj very suspiciously after that. like lwj used 200% of his hold-it-togetherness in front of his brother but his whole vibe™ was off so lxc was extremely confused and concerned.

[crossdressingdeath]

I think my first establishment (which took place either after or during my first read)of MDZS antagonists/villains was pretty accurate: 1) The trashes (JGS, WCH, JZXun); 2) The annoying b*tch (YZY); 3) The useless, annoying grape (JC); 4) The power hungry tyrant (WRH); 5) The crazy psycho (XY); 6) The manipulative rat (JGY)

Hey uh can we. not. call XY a "crazy psycho". It's just a little bit ableist.

Anyway, I think the antagonists in MDZS can be split into two groups: people who hurt others to achieve a goal, and people who hurt others just because they can. In the first group there's JGY and arguably WRH, and the second group is, uh... everyone else. I'd argue that despite being the main villain JGY actually has the most sympathetic motives, just because... well, he has a motive beyond a desire to hurt people! His desires are largely selfish, being mostly him wanting more power for himself, but like... he does the terrible things he does for a specific reason and in the name of a specific goal. Except JGS's death, which was pure revenge and good on him for that, although the fact that he then killed everyone he dragged into it does ruin it a bit. Also one thing I find fascinating is how despite kicking off the events of the plot WRH... really isn't an active part of the narrative. I don't think WWX ever even sees him. While he is a powerful cultivator he's not really a threat to Our Heroes on an individual level.

And I actually think JC and XY fill the same position in the story: self-centred murderer who thinks they should have the right to do anything they want. And I think part of the reason it's set up that way is to showcase just how big a difference status makes. I mean... let's be real, here, JC has done more terrible things than XY does. And he does them openly. Everyone knows JC is a serial killer who tortures people to death, and from the way people talk about it I suspect his death count is higher than XY's even before we take into account the Wen remnants, who the sects as a whole don't know are innocent during the time XY's active, especially given that XY was arrested before his time in Yi City where he just started murdering people largely indiscriminately and tricking XXC into doing the same. XY is arrested and marked for execution, and is only spared because JGS thinks he's useful with other sects continuing to call for his head after that point to the point where JGS had to have NMJ assassinated to shut him up; JC faces zero consequences beyond people just not liking him very much. I don't doubt for a second that the fact that XY's a street kid delinquent and JC's a sect leader is a deciding factor in that little discrepancy. XY, and JGY as well actually, do things that any of the other sect leaders would have gotten away with; they're punished because they don't have the right pedigree, not because the sects have suddenly realized that Murder Is Bad.

...Actually, another good way to split up the antagonists (with the exception of XY, who's kind of just off doing his own thing, and YZY, who's just an abusive piece of shit and not really involved in the larger political events on account of being dead for most of them) is instigator and mob. The instigators are WRH, JGS, JGY, JC, the people who start violence and whip other people into a frenzy against their target, while WC, WZL, JZXun, SS are more just parts of the mob participating in the violence without causing it; they might be enjoying it, but odds are they wouldn't have started anything on their own. I mean, a major part of this novel is how horrific things can get once people get whipped up into a mob and stop thinking for themselves; it makes sense that the antagonists fall on both sides of that line.

I was thinking more about tatted lwj and your response and the tattoos are lwj’s way to feel more freedom outside of the rules and values that his family keeps. He gets to express himself and break the rules without it actually affecting his relationships with his family since his family isn’t ever going to see him shirtless or naked. Like you said it’s like a secret little rebellion!

He starts off with a small simple bunny in his ankle and it slowly spirals out of control as he ends up getting addicted to getting tattoos and soon he has a whole sleeve and tattoos curling around his sides and spreading across his chest and down his back.

He also has one that starts at his waist and spreads down his hip and below his jeans and wwx just wants to know how far down does it exactly go?

ok, loving these prompts, they’re making words work for me tonight and also they’ve all been fantastic prompts so thank you!! 

[Posted to Ao3] 

“So,” Wei Ying said, and promptly flushed to the roots of his hair when it came out as a squeak. He cleared his throat and tried again. “You have… tattoos.”

“I do,” Lan Zhan agreed, apparently unbothered by Wei Ying’s dumbfounded stare.

Really, this was too much. How could he be expected to function, knowing Lan Zhan had tattoos, like the delinquent Lan Qiren always accused Wei Ying of being.

Of course, there was nothing delinquent about these tattoos. No, these were lovely, graceful sweeps of color, a blooming vine curling its way down Lan Zhan’s spine, wrapping around his hip and disappearing beneath the waistband of his pants.

Wei Ying wanted to follow it with his mouth.

“When…?” he trailed off helplessly. They’d been friends for years, ever since high school, after an admittedly rough start wherein Wei Ying had done everything in his power to get Lan Zhan’s attention and Lan Zhan had been infuriated at the mere sight of him.

“I have had many sessions,” Lan Zhan said, and tugged a long sleeved shirt over his head. Wei Ying wanted to whine when the riot of color vanished from his sight, hidden beneath a blue sweater that he used to like, because it was soft and fitted and highlighted Lan Zhan’s extraordinary shoulder to waist ratio.

He did not like the stupid sweater anymore, Wei Ying thought grumpily. Now he knew it had been an accomplice, hiding Lan Zhan’s tattoos from him.

The audacity, he thought indignantly, fully aware that he was being irrational and not caring even a little. Fuck that sweater.

“Why’d you get them?” He asked when he finally remembered how talking worked. Mostly he was just grateful he hadn’t said, “Take it back off right this instant.” or, “Can I touch?”

Lan Zhan paused in the process of making tea— when had he gone into the kitchen? Wei Ying wondered in a daze— and glanced over at him.

“The first was a gentian flower, for my mother. I was eighteen. And… angry.”

Because he’d never been given the time and space to grieve, Wei Ying knew. They’d talked about it before, the restricting rules of Lan Zhan’s childhood. The way he’d been told how to feel, how to act, told to forget about his mother because she wasn’t coming back.

Wei Ying nodded to show he was listening, and took a step closer. Lan Zhan, busy running long fingers gently over his wrist, didn’t seem to notice. “The permanence of a tattoo appealed to me. Once I had it, no one could take it from me.”

No one could take her from me, Wei Ying heard.

“And then?” He asked softly, climbing onto one of the barstools to watch Lan Zhan move around the kitchen with a steady competence that Wei Ying watched with quiet interest disguised as attentiveness.

To his surprise, Lan Zhan’s ears flushed red. Wei Ying perked up, gleeful as always when Lan Zhan got embarrassed around him, the most shameless person on the planet, at least according to Jiang Cheng.

Because Lan Zhan was too good for him, he gave Wei Ying an honest (if reluctant) answer. “A rabbit on my ankle.”

“Lan Zhan!” Wei Ying gasped, delighted. “A bunny? You got a bunny tattoo?”

“I like rabbits,” Lan Zhan said mutinously.

“What next, what next?!”

“…Another rabbit, so the first wouldn’t be alone,” Lan Zhan admitted, ears positively on fire now.

He was so cute Wei Ying wanted to die. He settled for covering his face with his hands until he could control his expression again.

There was no way he could take more of this, so Wei Ying asked instead, “Does your family know?”

“My brother,” Lan Zhan said, and slid his left sleeve up to show the lovely blue flower decorating his wrist. “I showed him this after I had it done and he…”

Uh oh. “Was he mad?” Surely not; Lan Xichen’s only care in the world was for his little brother to be happy.

“No. He cried, a little, and then we spent the whole night talking about our mother. He remembers more than I do. He had many stories to tell me that were… different than what I’d been told growing up.”

“So he liked it? What about the rest?”

“Hm,” Lan Zhan hummed in agreement. “He got a matching one, on his hip. So he could hide it easily.”

Wei Ying leaned over the countertop, propping his chin on his hands and grinning at Lan Zhan. “What else do you have hidden under that sweater?” He asked, and then wondered what the hell was wrong with him. “I mean tattoos,” he added hastily.

Lan Zhan, though, just raised an eyebrow and leaned back against the kitchen island. “It would be easier to show you.”

Wei Ying’s brain promptly stalled out.

Lan Zhan sipped his tea and waited patiently.

“Show me?” He managed through a throat that was suddenly very dry. Lan Zhan made a low noise of acknowledgment. “Like… take your shirt off again?”

“It would be difficult otherwise,” Lan Zhan said, and the amused note in his voice made Wei Ying straighten, indignant. Lan Zhan was fucking with him. With him, Wei Ying.

Since when had his sense of humor included teasing Wei Ying? Well, he’d show Lan Zhan!

“Okay,” he said, so confident and assured it could be nothing but a lie. But Lan Zhan didn’t call him out on it, just raised a brow. Set aside his tea, and…

And took off his shirt. Slowly. Revealing an inch of skin at a time, soft pastel colors blurred into Lan Zhan’s stupid flawless skin, splashes of color that seemed so bright all of a sudden, the gravity of the room shifting to orbit around Lan Zhan.

Wei Ying’s breath caught. He hoped it wasn’t audible.

“You cannot see much from over there,” Lan Zhan observed. His arms were sculpted from years of handstands, the rest of his body lean and muscled from a religious running and swimming routine.

“No,” Wei Ying agreed faintly. He slid off his stool, encouraged when his knees didn’t give out, weak as they felt. He inched his way around the counter, eyes glued to the play of ink across muscle every time Lan Zhan shifted in place, every time he took a measured breath.

Wei Ying swallowed hard. Halted just within arm’s reach, and found himself unable to look Lan Zhan in the eye. The asshole had called his bluff, Wei Ying realized with some disbelief. He was having a hard time being annoyed about it, because… well, it got him within touching distance of his half-naked best friend.

His half-naked best friend who had miles of warm skin inked with soft colors and hopeful, blooming flowers. Little creatures— more bunnies, a small dragon with intricate blue scales, hints of claw and tooth and fang— were shrouded within a veritable garden lovingly carved into Lan Zhan’s body.

So many secrets hidden within. It felt like a metaphor for Lan Zhan, the little things Wei Ying had worked so hard to learn, to coax out of him, to wait patiently for Lan Zhan to come to him, all carefully wreathed in protective vines and a canopy of petals.

He reached out, unable to help himself. Lan Zhan stood very, very still as Wei Ying’s palm settled over his heart, measuring the beloved drum of his heartbeat. It was ceaseless. Reliable. As unwavering as everything else about Lan Zhan, someone so dependable and trustworthy that Wei Ying had lost some of his own sharp edges as a result.

He’d learned what it meant to have faith in someone, a conviction that was unshakeable and everlasting, and somewhere along the way he’d slipped right into love.

Lan Zhan’s hand came up to wrap gently around his wrist. Not to remove it, just to hold. “You’re quiet.”

“Your tattoos are giving me an existential crisis, Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying admitted.

Lan Zhan frowned, looking uncertain for the first time this evening. “Is that bad?”

“No.” His voice was hoarse. He cleared it, fingers tracing the lines of the ink, following the path as each shape faded into the next so seamlessly they appeared to be one.

Lan Zhan’s abdomen flexed in response to Wei Ying’s soft, trailing touch as it drifted down. And down. And down. He sucked in a breath, watching Wei Ying with so much intensity it burned.

“How far down does it go?” Wei Ying asked, tugging lightly on the edge of Lan Zhan’s pants.

“Find out for yourself,” Lan Zhan said. Wei Ying looked up, shocked, and bit his lip uncertainly. It was the tipping point; Lan Zhan surged forward, his giant hands coming up to cup Wei Ying’s face, to hold him still as he kissed Wei Ying until they were both breathless and dizzy with it.

“Lan Zhan?” Wei Ying asked, too dazed to feel embarrassed by the way he was clinging to Lan Zhan to remain upright.

“You wanted to find out how far they go?” Lan Zhan asked against his mouth. Wei Ying made a helpless sound in response. “Mark your words,” Lan Zhan said, low and heated, and hauled him towards the bedroom.

Wei Ying was beginning to suspect he had been outplayed at his own game, but just then Lan Zhan dragged his mouth over the sensitive tendons of Wei Ying’s neck and suddenly he had more interesting things to occupy him.

He’d deal with everything else and all that it entailed later.

Much later.

that reblog about how novel LWJ is possessive and doesn't grow is SUCH a BAD take tho? novel LWJ grows A LOT more than drama LWJ. he doesn't get to know WWX in the beginning because he's fighting himself, for falling in love with someone coded as a delinquent. he's angry because he thinks he's betraying his own moral code by liking someone who's a Bad Person! then he starts realizing that WWX's minor rebellions don't mean he's NOT a good person, and ALSO that love isn't about morality anyway!

i wish you guys would send me these type of things off anon

but anyway. i started but didn’t finish the novel because i just ... didn’t like the characterization. of several characters. which i suspected i wouldn’t before i started because there’s some very good fanfiction based solely of the book that i very much don’t like for the same reason, and i already knew there was going to be some plot decisions in the book i wasn’t going to like, but i tried anyway. 

the way lwj and wwx express love and the progression of their relationship in novel doesn’t really jive with me (or possibly just the way its written vs the actions themselves) not to say anything else of several other characters that i love in the drama

i know people like to get really devisive with book vs drama but i’m not really here for that. i tried the book, didn’t like it, whatever. i read a summary about the differences between the book and the show and moved on. 

if people like it, great! if they think it’s better than the drama, awesome. i just didn’t care for it

#there were things i really liked #but i was getting too irritated reading it to continue #maybe i'll try again one day and it'll bother me less #asks #anon

[Goose Saga: 1 & 2 ]

You are an incredibly bored goose. Your goose-human and your gosling are out doing boring human things around your domain, too busy to pay attention to you, leaving you to patrol alone. Your quota of fuzzball nipping and sneaky paper shredding has been filled and all the humans have shooed you away with more tolerance than your warranted adoration--but you are used to this. Some even have little bits of vegetables that they toss to appease your wrath. You graciously allow them to continue on their way without even a honk. 

You are eyeing the fish as they dare to peep out from under the walkways when you hear a commotion in the center of your kingdom. It is in the building with the strange smells and sounds that the humans refuse to let you into, no matter how politely you bite. Curiously, you flap your way up to the top of a pavilion and waggle your tail feathers, sitting on your feet to watch. There comes the familiar noise of your goose-human’s twanging. And then a whistle-toot. You stand up. Where have you have heard this strange human sound before?

Soon, your gosling comes up to the door of the building and you are about to glide down to grace them with your presence when the door opens and lets out your goose-human--and your black and red human.

You would know your black and red human anywhere! It is them, spinning their annoying whistle-branch and honking to your goose-human and gosling! 

You honk, loud and long and fast as you launch yourself directly down at them and all 3 of your humans turn around in surprise. Your gosling honks your honk; “Luóbo!”

But your black and red human also honks their honk for you; “Húndàn?!”

You crash into your human in black and red, knocking you both into a tumble of honks and feathers. Your humans! All your humans are here! Your black and red human laugh-honks, ruffling your neck feathers in that way that you hate but will only let them do, crouching down in front of you. You allow them admire your beautiful jade collar and the lovely white fluttery strip your gosling’s flock mate had tied above it and no one had been allowed to take off. Your red and black human seems very impressed with the work you have done in Goose Recesses and you honk with pride. 

When they stand up and start honking at your goose-human and confused looking gosling, you bite your red and black human in the rump hard, making them squawk loudly. Wings outstretched and flapping, you chase your absent, disobedient, delinquent black and red human all over your kingdom as you snap at their ankles and rump and fluttering human-feathers, disciplining them for ever leaving you alone for such a long time in the first place. Your gosling is too slow to catch you as you scold your horrible black and red human with loud and powerful honks all over the paths of your kingdom.

All your important humans are gathered under your rule again and if any of them try to leave, you will drag their sharp flying sticks into the cold pond and hide them with the awful fish. Maybe you will poop on them anyway, just to remind them who is in charge, here. 

Because it is you. And they are never allowed to leave again.

#WELL THE GOOSE HAS A NAME NOW #TAKE YOUR PICK #IT'S EITHER RADISH OR THE EQUIVALENT TO BASTARD #Yes Jingyi gave the goose a Lan Headband #No no one has been able to get it off #Yes he had to do lines over it #the untamed goose game #ALSO thank you so much anon you're very sweet ♥♥♥! #my fic #my stuff #greenwitching #blackthor-n
