#especially when we have post-timeskip to compare to. when we DO see how wwx acts when he's falling in love

hmm, everyone knows i'm a teen wangxian enthusiast and i love coming up with AUs for them and all that, but if we're talking about actual canon, i think my unpopular opinion would be that i.... really really don't think wei wuxian liked lwj "that way" in his first life

#and i think the way people eill soread it as fanon that wwx was in love with lwj since he was 15 #is just sorta setting up new readers for disappointment #because wwx rly does think lwj is funny and amusing. but i've read the flashback sections so many times and I really really can't see it #especially when we have post-timeskip to compare to. when we DO see how wwx acts when he's falling in love #and if we're talking about authorial intent (which u can take it as gospel or ignore it completely. idrc about it personally) #the novel is tagged as “单向暗恋-双向暗恋感情” on jjwxc #which translates to something like ''one way secret love to two way secret love'' #or basically ''unrequited pining to mutual pining'" #idk !! this is my own personal interpretation nd ofc ppl are free to interpret what they want but #i just don't /see/ it. to me wwx was not romantically interested on lwj in any point of their first life #i just can't see any sort of desire the way we see later on. and i've tried!! #like. he thinks he's really pretty and all. but wwx thinks almost everyone is pretty skdhsjdh EVEN JIN ZIXUN #he's a guy with an eye for beautiful things. and Iz happens to be a very beautiful thing #but to use that alone as a ''he was in love with him since the beginning''? idk i always feel like it's such a stretch #modao #lace speaks
