#i'm a bastard for this but i'm really interested in the concept of like. wwx&jc paradoxically getting closer by the end of the story

unrelated, but when i say lxc should get to bite people/go apeshit/start killing, i don’t quite mean literally! it’s a mix of fandom frustration with everyone and their grandma and her cat accusing lxc of being too soft, too trusting, too easily manipulated into forgiving jgy everything, etc, etc, when he wasn’t like that at all but just wanted answers that he would have gotten If Not For Certain Events That I Won’t Mention Here, and Some Circles criticizing him for being “mean” to wwx (a cardinal sin) -- and... well. frustration with wgxn fucking off to fuck in the bushes for months and delighting in the lack of information about what’s happening in the jianghu. when lxc was Like That, and then, when wgxn were back, Still Struggling. and i obviously know he wouldn’t, not before being absolutely forced to, but god sometimes i do wish there was a fic in which he got a chance to just go... Hey Wangji But You Know That It* Wasn’t Cool, Right

*all of the above, plus wgxn withholding jgy-related information from him post-guanyin, plus wgxn urging him not to listen to jgy in the temple and acting as though jgy has manipulated lxc like a child with no mind of his own, plus wgxn barging into his life like “hey we think your friend killed your other friend. source: trust us. why aren’t you trusting us? cmon zwj be reasonable”, etc, etc

#he can even cry as he says this! in fact i think it's a plus #i'm a bastard for this but i'm really interested in the concept of like. wwx&jc paradoxically getting closer by the end of the story #and lxc&lwj just. drifting apart because of how much they Cannot understand each other anymore #lwj... clearly chose. and while i don't think it's the case of 'oooh he choose wwx and Freedom over stupid and stuffy sect rules!' #he nonetheless... doesn't have the same Insight into lxc's thoughts and feelings that lxc has (had?) into his #and yeah he seems concerned with lxc's wellbeing and i guess mxtx wanted to write about wgxn being happy post-canon rather than #the lan brothers' misery but even so. 'they couldn't try fucking upside down because lwj had to visit his secluded brother' #is how it looks like. idk #anyway #shrimp thoughts
