#fierce corpse!lwj
lgbtlunaverse · 14 days
Note
tumblr isn't letting me answer your amazing comment on my post about wwx's obvious crush on jgy and the rest of 3zun in the novel, so i have no choice but to send it to you here as an ask: i am now envisioning lwj busting open the get-along crypt post-canon to fight two extremely confused fierce corpses in a fit of jealous pique.
lxc, torn between shock and horror "wangji no!!"
lwj, with determination "wangji yes >:C"
HELP 💀
As I typed it I was like "oh god what if he has an embarassing wet dream about it and lwj finds out via incense burner"
Lwj waking up in a cold sweat: I have to go
The poor lan disciple who just watched hanguang-jun storm out of his house in his pyjamas: what??
Lwj: I have to kill 2 corpses
Disciple: isn't a corpse already dea-
Lwj: Not dead enough

In less than three days, almost all of the cultivators learned a terrifying piece of news: Wei WuXian, the one who defected from the Jiang Sect and made his own home in Yiling, had created the the highest level of fierce corpse yet.
—Chapt. 75: Distance, exr
I still maintain that Lan Wangji attempted to tell his brother the truth about the Burial Mounds settlement, and Lan Xichen took that information right to Jin Guangyao.

One thing about me is that I do not tolerate Wen Ning erasure in the slightest. Like I would throw hands for him (and have).

why is every single fight scene in this donghua absolutely fucking amazing. without fail. i made the mistake of judging ONE fight scene because it was cooler in the novel but then they did the thing in the novel just a little bit further along and it was cool as hell. wwx and lwj just used the blood pool to set themselves as a stygian lure flag and coated themselves in red and i just about fucking lost my mind.

Do you know what I find sweet?
We all know WWX protected the burial mounds, that he set corpses around the perimeter to ward people off. Summoning them to growl and possibly throw the person away if they persisted.
JC was granted access to the burial mounds, the corpses left him alone when he walked up to them. So we know WWX must have made sure he had clear passage. Which, obviously turned out to be misplaced trust, but we won't go into that.
I think it's quite obvious he has permitted another person access to his little sanctuary as well. LWJ seems to be able to come and go from the burial mounds without any issues either.
WWX walks down the mountain with LWJ as he's leaving. But nothing is mentioned about them growling at LWJ as he is at the foot of the mountain. As I said earlier the most they will do is growl and possibly throw the person away. But I would have thought he'd have mentioned it to LWJ if he wasn't granted such access also.
People might say that it's because WWX is there with him and walks down the Burial Mounds with him. But personally I think WWX would have mentioned it to LWJ. We've also seen in other instances when he is controlling fierce corpses that are currently attacking people and his allies turn up - he quickly has to make the entities under his control back off. Yet he never does this when LWJ is walking down the mountain.
LWJ is also able to bring WWX back to the burial mounds after he fought against his own sect to protect him without any issues it seems.
WWX thought about LWJ when he was summoning the corpses and (I would assume) setting up the wards to stop people flying in from above.
I'm pretty certain of it!
And I think it's so incredibly cute he included him.

Also, any fics with wwx being sort of like- strangely in tune with nature? And maybe people being freaked out by his connection to the nature or dead. Like - cryptid vibes wwx lol

17. Hello! I'm looking for fics with:-
A) rich wwx!! As in- he's like rich af, but people don't know it? Like he's very normal about it but doesn't advertise the fact that he could buy everything he wants. I'd also like if he's big on donating, or just helping people in general and stuff.
B) wwx doing dangerous stuff like volunteering in places with natural disasters/civil unrest, etc. Him being very into activism and stuff
C) jealous sizhui...like- he's jealous of wwx paying attention to other kids and stuff. Maybe something like- wwx thinks sizhui has lwj as father figure, doesn't remember him, or maybe he'll be bothered if wwx acts too familiar or something? So he keeps his distance. It could be a modern au too, or any fic where wwx adopts other kids/is a mentor figure to them/has close relationship with them and sizhui is jealous of that??
I appreciate you taking the time to do this!

I was re-reading the Intrusion extra recently and I remembered just how much I loved the casual intimacy between wangxian, so I decided to make a list of my top 5 favourite wangxian moments from this extra in no particular order:
1. Lan Wangji leaving Young Master Qin to wait outside their room until Wei Wuxian woke up much later in the morning, and only after being “hugged and caressed” a lot by Lan Wangji (ft. poor Sizhui who had to first drag Lil’ Apple away from bamboo shoots and then lie to Young Master Qin that his senior was ill to explain why lwj and wwx weren’t to be interrupted)
2. Wei Wuxian wearing Lan Wangji’s clothes. Both the time he is stated to roll up the sleeves many times because they’re too long for him, and this:
[Lan Sizhui] wanted to tell him, Senior Wei, you accidentally wore HanGuang-Jun’s clothes again. But after some thought, he still swallowed the sentence.
After all, Wei WuXian wore the wrong clothes every couple of days. If he reminded Wei WuXian every single time, wouldn’t he die of fatigue?
And every time Senior Wei would wear it anyways because he thought it was too much trouble to change. Feeling that there was no point in reminding him anyways, Lan SiZhui decided he’d much rather pretend he saw nothing.
3. Lan Wangji hugging Wei Wuxian to comfort him when they’re discussing how Young Master Qin talks about servants and the conversation drifts to Wei Wuxian’s past (and Wei Wuxian hugging back, of course)
4. Wei Wuxian laughing so hard at the thought of Lan Wangji being a virgin that Lan Wangji has to wrap an arm around his shoulder to steady him (followed soon after by Lan Wangji pulling Wei Wuxian into his lap and Wei Wuxian complaining about how unfair it is that people misperceive the two of them)
5. Wei Wuxian eating the apple the fierce corpse brought over, claiming he’s “trying to save Hanguang-jun some money” and Lan Wangji taking it away and saying that would never be necessary
Honourable mention to how in-sync the two of them are whenever Wei Wuxian is about to start saying absolute bullshit to get Young Master Qin to tell them the truth and Lan Wangji shows no indication that he’s lying his ass off

For the ask meme, au where wwx kills lxc at qiangpi path instead of jzx.
Or gender swap jc au.
Ok, so it took me a while to think this over, because there’s a lot here, and then talking it over with @demoiselledefortune I realized there’s even more than I thought! (still thinking about the genderswap jc one)
Also, poor, poor LWJ. 🙁 (LQR doesn't bear thinking about. That poor, poor man. I don't talk about LQR under the cut because it's too sad for me to contemplate.)
1) So the thing is, this isn’t a noticeably better accidental killing for WWX, because while the Lans may be less the powerhouse than the Jins, JGS will definitely try and use LXC’s death to turn against WWX. And it’s going to be stupidly easy, because LXC was a sect leader and the sworn brother of his son.
(I assume LXC was there because he was invited to JL’s 100 days ceremony and his passing there was a coincidence, while in canon he was already at Jinlintai. So maybe JZX is still in Jinlintai here, the confrontation happening earlier and thus before JZX departed; or JZX is here as well as he was in canon, and LXC was the one running late - in which case, JZX is alive and a witness and might speak up on WWX’s behalf at least to his wife and his BIL, at least to tell them that it seemed an accident. This turns out not to have much of an impact on the grand scale of things OR on JYL and JC’s understanding of what happened, bc they already trust WWX so much, but it does have an impact on JZX’s view of the world and himself. This is less about WWX than it is about politics in general and his father in specific. In that version he’s much more in-the-middle of things, much more aware of being personally dismissed. In that version there’s a chance he and JYL go live in LP.)
Besides the Jins, there’s also NMJ, who is a big fan of his sworn brothers not getting killed and of not shielding people from the consequences of their actions. Just putting it out there where we can see it. On the other hand, they’re not LXC’s most direct family. LWJ and the Lans are, so NMJ lets LWJ take point.
(There's a version of this prompt where NMJ qi-deviates when he hears about LXC's death. In that timeline should WWX get killed NHS' plans never feature bringing him back.)
2) Know for whom LXC dying instead of JZX changes things a lot, though? WQ and WN. When they decide to surrender themselves, they go to Cloud Recesses, not Jinlintai. LWJ and his sect I feel wouldn't punish WQ for LXC’s death. She wasn't there.
(WN, otoh, is very done for. There is no way GSL pulls a Jin to keep him around. He's a fierce corpse and the one who killed their sect leader at that. They execute him/lay his soul to rest. There's no further desacration of WN and that's probably the bitterest comfort WQ could hope for. WQ does try to shield WN when she realizes the Lans aren't planning on executing her, but she doesn't get that.)
WQ would easily get a promise of safety from LWJ for at least A-Yuan, probably Granny, maybe the others - on the sterner end of the scale for the adult cultivators. This is somewhat dependent on what JGS (and NMJ) are clamoring for but JGS wants the Stygian Seal more than he does the Wens and NMJ would be satisfied with the Lans supervising the fate of the Wen remnants. Besides, the most high-profile of the Wen remnants is WQ and she just surrendered herself. WN would say WWX isn’t responsible for LXC’s death, it was a freak resentful energy accident–
3) I think what LWJ does demand about WWX is... that WWX be given over to Gusu Lan. They can lock him up. And purify him of the resentful energy.
LWJ is in a frankly abysmal mental space - it’s only because his cultivation is so orthodox that he doesn't qi deviate. It’s all tearing him up, LXC’s death because of the guy LWJ has a crush on, LWJ’s want for WWX and LWJ’s wish that he could (imitate his father) bring someone back to CR and lock them up and LWJ suddenly being in the horrendous situation where he is imitating his father. The memory of the kiss is now a nightmare. It was always a mixed memory (how shameful, to lose control of himself thus - to take advantage of the one he loved - to lack even the courage to simply ask, either for the kiss, or at least for forgiveness) but now it makes him retch.
It's all twisted in the fact that LXC is dead, because of WWX. There can be nothing between LWJ and WWX now. Simply wishing there could be would be the worst betrayal.
(LWJ remembers the days of their youth, LXC’s delight and gentle teasing at LWJ’s inexplicable liking of WWX. The Water Abyss. And now LXC is dead, because of the boy he was so happy LWJ wanted for a friend. LXC always wanted LWJ to have friends, something akin to his own friendship with NMJ.)
0) (the Problem. The Problem is that I cannot see WWX staying in the Cloud Recesses if he's imprisoned there. If he wouldn't rather die at first, he will afterwards. LWJ thinks of his mother. If WWX dies LWJ would enter seclusion like his father once did. This isn’t something LWJ tells himself consciously.)
4) JC and JYL visit WWX in the Cloud Recesses while he's imprisoned there. JC hates LWJ for it, but I think he's self-aware enough to think “what if it had been Jiejie.” It’s hard to hate LWJ wholeheartedly.
5) WQ is in Cloud Recesses, too. She’ll never live outside the Cloud Recesses again, but it could have been far worse. She’s allowed time with A-Yuan (she is not in forced seclusion and neither is she A-Yuan’s mother but LWJ cannot let himself see them together, or else he starts to think of how she isn’t allowed to raise her kin herself.)
When it comes out *pretty damn early* that WWX doesn’t have a core, she’s the one who implies WZL got him.
(JC is in LWJ’s office clamoring, begging for WWX to be released into the care of YMJ in a hot minute after he finds out - which takes at least one or two visits, because no-one wrote to tell him, and it takes him asking a question about how getting WWX rid of resentful energy and not letting go when the answer’s too cagey to his taste for him to know. If it were just LWJ– but LWJ has elders. plus there’s also LXC’s sworn brothers to contend with; LWJ isn’t thinking of that, and JC will think of it later, after LWJ has refused to return WWX to YMJ.) JC is so so so angry at everyone involved - WWX for *lying to him*, why didn’t you *tell me*, I would have *helped* - WQ for hiding it from him AND not telling him when she told the Lans (to which she retorts that she isn’t exactly allowed a free correspondence. Hmph. Okay. JC allows that. WQ has negative scruples about lying to him about the core rn.) - LWJ for keeping WWX a prisoner here even though WWX is, is, WWX isn’t a cultivator anymore he’s a normal person let YMJ watch over him, let JC - even JYL for having something else in her life that she loves, that isn’t WWX locked up in another sect.
WQ is also the one who sees when WWX is seriously at risk of his life just fading away, and this time she tells JC: if WWX doesn’t get out, he will die.
The fic ends with WQ and JC breaking WWX out of the Cloud Recesses (it’s implied LWJ is looking the other way). WQ stays in CR, of course, but JC is taking WWX to Lotus Pier. There’s no plan for “later”.

I go on twitter, see a bunch of twitter thread fics, roll my eyes and exit as fast as I can.
"He would not fucking say that..." Was all that echoed in my head.
Crazy take: WWX not being sure if he can trust LWJ during his YLLZ days... Excuse me? They seriously think WWX didn't trust LWJ at any point in his life? Have they even read the novel? I doubt it.
If they had, they would have noticed that WWX had given LWJ access to the mountain alongside his sect leader JC. No one else from his sect (bar JYL I'm assuming) could go up the mountain without being harassed by the fierce corpses guarding the base. So of course he trusts him! During his visit people should note he was not pestered by the corpses as he left. WWX did not command them or warn LWJ as they parted ways - because he had already given him access way before then. He actively added LWJ to the list of people allowed past his undead guards. He's not obligated to give him access like he is JC, he chose to because he trusts he would do the right thing. WWX even says/thinks as much during LWJ's visit there! He trusts him explicitly, he knows he is righteous and fair - it's one of the things he actually loves about him! So for WWX to say he needs time to figure out if he trusts LWJ - well that's just so ooc you might as well call him a different fn name!

There's something that I noticed about most of the deaths in CQL/MDZS:
Jin Zixuan: *stands between WWX & his bitch of a cousin* "A-Li is still waiting-...A-Li is still waiting for you at Golden Carp Tower."
Jiang Yanli:" A-Xian, before, why did you run so fast? I didn't even get the chance to look at you. Or say something to you. I'm here to say...I'm here to say..." *pushes Wei Wuxian away & dies saving him*
Wen Qing: "I'm sorry. And thank you." *gives herself and his dearer than eyesight brother up to save WWX. Says goodbye to his loved- ones and goes to her death with her head held high & gives a reassuring smile at Wen Ning while she hold his hand as they wait for their death.*
Yu ZiYuan: *gives up Zidian to JC and sends her kids away, in CQL kills herself when she sees that her husband has fallen, tries to reach for her husband, dies holding his hand and smiling at him.*
Jiang Fengmian: *sends his kids away, goes back for his wife, in his last moments he reaches his hand out to hold hers and dies holding her hand and smiling at her.*
Xue Yang: *risks his life by going to WWX and LWJ to try to save XXC, loses his temper for the first time in the fight when Lan Zhan takes XXC's soul's pouch, falls into WWX's tap when WWX says that he just wants to resurrect XXC to play more games with him and that the revenge he sought was bc of XXC, not himself, dies looking at XXC's candies as he holds them in his hands*
A-Qing: *dies helping LWJ to wound XY. Finally taking the revenge for XXC that she had sought for years.*
Song Lan: *finally finds XXC and seems nervous but determined to reconcile with him and ask him for forgiveness, fights Xue Yang because of him, falters when XY reminds him of what he said to XXC, loses the fight with XY when he calls XXC's name. In his last seconds hold out his sword to XXC in hopes that he can touch the sword's name.*
Wei WuXian (in the show): *smiles at LWJ and very softly calls his name and asks him yo let him go, smiles at JC and as his last words, very softly calls Jiang Cheng's name, closes his eyes and smiles while shedding tears in acceptance when he sees JC's anger and heartbreak, frees his hand out of LWJ's grip when he sees that LWJ might fall with him.*
Jin GuangYao: Er-ge, stay & die with me. *pushes Lan Xichen away* (closely followed by fuck you NMJ but it's not relevant rn.)
THEY'RE ALL ABOUT LOVE! THE LAST ACTS AND THE LAST WORDS ARE ALL OUT OF LOVE!
I'm especially thinking of how Xue Yang, Jin GuangYao & Wei WuXian all died knowing that if nothing else, they were loved, & maybe it wasn't enough compared to the whole shitshow, but it made it all worth something
They smiled before they died.
It's also true for the last scenes of the characters: Song Lan asks Wangxian to tell Xiao Xingchen that it wasn't his fault if they ever see him, the Wen remnants as fierce corpses save Lan Sizhiu & WWX & those with them and bid LSZ farewell, Lan Xichen leaves the story mourning JGY, Nie Huaisang takes JGY's cap with him before he leaves(in the book)/is affirmed to be the mastermind behind everything because he was seeking revenge for his brother (in CQL), Jin Ling decides that even though JGY, WWX & WN all had a hands on his father's death he can't hate them 'cause they've all given him reasons to be unable to. He then asks JC why he let WWX & LWJ go and asks him what was it that he had left unsaid, Jiang Cheng's last scene is him remembering his sacrifice for WWX and deciding that he can't reveal it to him for the same reason that WWX couldn't reveal his own sacrifice to him, in CQL he tells WWX to "take care.", Lan Sizhui remembers WWX from his childhood and they reminisce the past, he hugs WWX's leg and teases him about his PG-13 teachings to him back at that time, and he & Wen Ning, still happy to have found each other decide that they're going to bury the ashes of their people properly & Wen Ning declares that he's going to make his sister a cenotaph, Wangxian... get busy Wangxianning.
NMJ's death and last scene are mostly driven by hatred & anger & spite, but still, he comes to his right mind when NHS comes close and calls him as he qi deviates, and his fierce corpse kills SMS as NHS shouts for help, so I guess that kinda counts?

Why didn't Su She just grab JGY and teleport out of the temple? Was his cultivation level really low? Did he need a recharge??
it's funny you should send me this ask, anon, since it does form the basic premise of a fic I am working on (kind of).
sms's cultivation level and martial arts skills are quite good! before uncovering his identity as the mystery swordsman responsible for absconding with xue yang's body and, presumably, the stygian tiger tally, wwx is impressed by his techniques and capabilities. during the second siege of the burial mounds, sms is the one who leads his moling su disciples in performing the altered song of vanquishing to seal the spiritual energies of everyone else present at the siege--and, once he is found out, he makes use of a teleportation talisman to escape (abandoning his own disciples in the process after tricking them--not a good look, minshan). he's using these talents towards a terrible purpose in this moment, of course, but this speaks to someone who does have a strong cultivation base; his own guqin isn't named in the text, but it is described as a first class spiritual tool comparable to lan wangji's. just because he isn't lan wangji, lan xichen or nie mingjue doesn't mean he isn't a strong cultivator! he's just not a cultivation prodigy.
(though, as an aside, it takes a different kind of gumption and courage to go from being exiled from your sect and branded a coward, to establishing your own sect in mdzs's jianghu.)
so, bearing in mind that he did just exert a considerable amount of that energy during the second burial mounds siege, I do think he was 'running low,' as it were, and didn't have much left in the tank. that said, I do think it's possible that minshan could have made use of a teleportation talisman for both himself and jgy, just because of how much spiritual power he pours into nanping [edit: not nanping!! i forgot that lwj already shattered nanping earlier in the confrontation. so this is a different sword, but i think my point still stands] in his final attack on nmj moments before his death. I am glad that this moment was included in the donghua and very sad it was changed in cql:
Tumblr media
(highlighting that short paragraph up top just to indicate the short-sightedness of huaisang's revenge vision quest here. nmj's fierce corpse is a danger to everyone in this confrontation, not just jgy; moments earlier, he'd not only lunged towards both jin ling and jiang cheng, but even towards lan xichen and huaisang himself.)
I love this paragraph; I love that in this moment, minshan's martial prowess and his strong cultivation base get to shine, because he is a character who has gone through the entire novel belittled and mocked and denigrated by everyone around him because of his cowardice, his inconsistent control over his spiritual abilities, and his decades-long grudge against the gusu lan (and lan wangji specifically). all of that remains true, and in this moment, he is incandescent and capable and putting every scrap of remaining power that he has into this attempt to strike down nmj and protect jgy. it's beautifully and vividly written and demonstrates just how unwavering his devotion is to the only person in the text to consistently treat him with respect and dignity.
that said--
Tumblr media
the moment of his death unfortunately encapsulates his achilles' heel, both as a character and as a cultivator, imo. minshan's problem isn't that he has a weak spiritual core and weak martial arts: it's that he is impulsive and prone to extremely poor judgment in the heat of the moment (case in point: he curses jin zixun for the unforgivable crime of... wounding his pride. I mean, I too think jzn is a cunt, but like, come on minshan). he pours so much dazzling spiritual power into his sword that it shatters, rendering him defenceless in the face of nmj's attack.
imo this is a pivotal moment in the final confrontation in the guanyin temple where both sms and jgy could have escaped exactly as you suggest, anon. if sms has enough spiritual power remaining to accidentally shatter his sword, he probably has enough spiritual power to activate a teleportation talisman (either while nmj is still staring at the empty coffin or after forcing him back with that initial sword thrust) and escape through it with jgy in tow. but he didn't, because that isn't the judgment call he made in the moment.

Please, I am begging you on my knees, I need to know all your headcanons for the 4 fierce corpses under Nie Huaisang's control. Please, do share if you feel like it, I would love to know all your thoughts concerning that incredible piece of art!
aah, thank you for the compliment :') alrighty let's see, strap in! It's only half-way thought out but if i gave it one more minute i'm sure i could polish some details (mostly regarding jzx and sl). NIE MINGJUE
after learning about Wen Ning, Nie Huaisang's goals for ressurecting WWX weren't just out of friendship justice or revenge for his brother- he needed him back. It's what he made WWX know that WWX owed him after they find the pieces of NMJ and stitched him back together, whether WWX wanted nothing to do with demonic cultivation anymore or not. WWX obliged but NMJ's resentful energy was too strong to properly control, but his presence was too important to NHS and so he kept him chained head to toe, right by his hall's throne. Everything was easier with him there and NHS's delusion, he dressed him, styled his hair, talked to him and only tssk-ed when the feral corpse tried to bite back.
WEN NING
WWX also passed his demonic cultivation knowledge onto NHS, as NHS was always curious about it since Gusu days (donghua), and also left Wen Ning with him when he himself left with LWJ. NHS wasn't the kindest to him, as one tends to with whoever carries the name "Wen", and mostly treated WN as the main "guard dog" of the place, as he didn't want to risk NMJ for anything.
JIN ZIXUAN
there were few background moments in the show where NHS bowed to JZX who ignored him or when NHS gave a smile to JZX and i just imagined the solidarity these two noble lonely dudes could have had were they to ever interact after jzx got his shit together (or before Gusu days). I could see NHS adore JZX in a way, see him as a peer, see him as deserving of second chance at their potential friendship. JZX's fierce corpse would be EXTREMELY timid, incomplete, no need for chains, but also he was too weak as he was transformed late (was he NHS's first attempt before he decided he needed WWX to make sure NMJ comes out "proper"?) so he's literally just kept as an ornament, for the company. NHS would have gossp-y "sleepovers" with him, do his hair, perfume him, draw him, live the life that was good before everything went to shit.
SONG LAN
Let's pretend Song Lan still stayed a fierce corpse (CQL) and NHS found him kneeling by XXC's grave unmoving. NHS had no ill-will towards SL, if anything, he knew him as someone to be respected and adored, even found all pathetic like this. Song Lan would be mostly timid, with agressive bursts that required some amount of chains for its unpredictability. Song Lan was mostly used as servus around the Nie residency, mostly to stroke NHS's ego to have someone once so great work for him now.
altogether, this NHS took the petty psycho route further than in the story and lives in delusion where he gets to be the "old" self he lost thanks to everyone around him. All 4 corpses are found by his side whenever someone -who's allowed in- visits.

modern au where wwx is raised by the wens, who are ordinary people (not cultivators) and taught himself cultivation through books and by watching competetive night hunting videos.
the wens live in yiling near the burial mounds where no cultivation sect dares to venture, so they and the other citizens have to rely on themselves for protection. wwx goes wild creating and upgrading protection talismans for everyone, and takes care of any monsters and fierce corpses that appear in the area.
he’s not officially a cultivator though, so he’s not technically allowed to do his work. to fly under the radar of the sects he gets a job at the local pest control office, who change their name to ‘Yiling’s office for pest control and other disturbances’ to include him. he’s well-known and respected within the city. (the mayor helped set up the job.)
anytime he’s on bedrest from injuries incurred while night hunting or otherwise unable to leave the house, he reads academic cultivation journals and rips particularly stupid authors to shreds on his tumblr.
lwj has a tumblr where he follows aesthetic and philosophical blogs. one day he comes across a post with terrible spelling where someone claims to have translated an article of lwj about a particular effect of guqin music against fierce ghosts in nighthunts for flute music, including the sheet work. he gets in an argument with the poster about the dangers of spreading false and untested information on the internet, because what if someone tries this in the real world? while the irresponsible guy on the other side accuses him of trying to gate-keep important cultivation knowledge.
they eventually reach a point where they realise they’re both arguing in the interest of the common people, and end up following each other. lwj reads wwx’s entire blog and finds several ground-breaking inventions, memes, sketches of different monsters that illustrate their differences and weaknesses in cartoonish style, entire threads that are just him bickering with the wen qing and their adopted siblings (xue yang, mxy, a-qing), and photos of his injuries that are captioned ‘got bittn by a ghost, dnnt knw tehy hath teeth >:(’.
by the time he reaches the end of the blog he’s in love.
and then, on one fateful day, a nighthunt leads him to yiling...

yeah WWX’s death in the novel (getting blown up and torn to pieces by fierce corpses) is like super metal and fucked up but cql’s portrayal of wwx being so consumed by grief he just… let’s himself fall off the cliff… Lan Wangji reaching for him, holding onto him, the most emotional and distraught we have ever seen him…Jiang Cheng wanting to kill WWX but not being able to bear committing the deed and instead closing his eyes and thrusting his sword wildly… Wei Wuxian ripping his hand out of LWJ’s and letting himself fall so he doesn’t take LWJ with him… oh it’s so much

Your post about the yunmeng bros's dynamic is soo good! I never thought about it! And now I am thinking about how wwx plays the same dynamic with wn! The edges are softened but also there wwx thinks he knows best, wn is literally his weapon most of the time ( in his second life he tries to give wn his agency back, actually. Something he doesn't do with jc)
Thank you, nonnie! And yeah I agree, there’s a similar dynamic at play between Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning, especially in WWX’s first life. Which reminds me: I think a LOT about a specific scene in CQL in the episode where LWJ comes to visit in the Burial Mounds—the one where WN comes in with cups of water for WWX and Lan Wangji, and WWX complains to him about not bringing them any of their (non-existent) tea for the guest. In that moment, WWX is so painfully, clearly, trying to recreate the spiky, teasing, sibling dynamic he has with Jiang Cheng here with Wen Ning, Substitute Baby Brother…but it just doesn’t WORK, because Wen Ning doesn’t push back the way Jiang Cheng would in that moment, and the teasing quickly starts to feel more like bullying. (Wen Qing, in contrast, makes a better Substitute Big Sister for WWX in the Burial Mounds era because Wen Qing is actually very compassionate and caring, even if she has a lower WWX bullshit tolerance than Jiang Yanli does. And not to derail on that but while one of my favorite things about WWX and WQ is that he sees her as an equal, I absolutely think he was emotionally leaning on her as a Shijie-stand-in during a fairly awful period of his life.) And then we never see WWX teasing WN in quite that way again! I think he learned his lesson from that awkward moment: that Wen Ning and Jiang Cheng are different people, even if WWX had mentally assigned them similar slots up to that point.
And maybe because of that (or maybe just because interpersonal relationships are weird, and we can take the lessons we learn from one relationship to another, to good effect, while still failing to implement them in the first one) or maybe just because of other complicated Wen Ning-related things, like a certain unfortunate murder, yes, also, WWX does go hard on respecting Wen Ning’s agency and encouraging his independence and reminding him of his personhood, in his second life. It’s another great shadow parallel to his relationship with Jiang Cheng, honestly! He did Super Ethically Dubious Things That Violated Their Personal Autonomy But For Their Own Good with both Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning, but I think he gets a lot farther in recognizing that with Wen Ning (whose feelings about being made into a fierce corpse are…oblique, to say the least) than he seems to with Jiang Cheng (whose feelings about the golden core transfer once he knows are so much the opposite of oblique that he probably did three orbits around the sun getting to his emotional state in Guanyin Temple), who he’s still going “shit! did not want him to know about that!” about well after the core-cat’s out of the bag.

Stating that his past has made wwx kind and loving, it's a good interpretation, but not one I vibe with, at least in novel canon. He killed most wen than everyone else and when jyl died, at least 400 were killed by wwx. In the present time, Imo he is tired, very very tired. He doesn't want to engage with anyone, but what can he do? Die again? Imo even if tired, he is too curious to not investigate with lwj about fierce corpses. Not saying wwx isn't kind, but trauma just made him traumatized
this is pretty much my read of him as well. I think he's intrigued by the mystery, but certainly isn't after justice for the random dismembered body parts. about as soon as he starts getting a bit fired up about taking down JGY, he sees the whole cultivation world turn on him exactly the way they did to WWX himself and his passion for it immediately dies. tired is the perfect word for it! he's alive again, he didn't want to be, might as well solve this puzzle-- until it gets depressing.
