not only would they win a gift card but also a mug
Mdzs as a sitcom would slap actually. Enough with the angst, I need a fic of the daily life in the wen-wei-lan household (Wwx lives with wq&wn, lan wangji is unofficially living there (he hasn't actually went home in over a year) ) I need a fic of wwx learning the recorder within the limit of a day! Give me the sitcom!mod au waiter!
Peak character design is when mdzs artists draw postcanon!wwx a bit chubby, like yes! Lwj spoiling his husband, 10/10, Top tier, Give me more.
It's genetics
Lan wangji raised Wen Yuan to be an upstanding and courteous Lan, but I think if Wei Ying raised him instead, he'd be exactly the same. He's like 12 years old, dragging his grumbling father to someone's house, talking politely and saying they're here to apologize because Wei yings latest crazy experiment blew up someone's house. People would go "what a sweet boy how is he the son of the yiling laozhu!?" And Wei Ying would yell about birthing a-yuan himself and scandalize everyone listening and wen yuan would be standing there sighing because he just smoothed things over
"He killed 3000 ppl!" That's literally confirmed as false. 2nd of all everyone in nightless city literally grouped up there to watch an innocent women burn to death than spit on her ashes than team up to go kill her (knowingly) innocent family, everyone there was on there way to attack wwx but god forbid wwx fights back (and even than him fighting back was a last resort)
Fans who believe or try to frame what happened at nightless city as Wei Ying being the one in the wrong or even say his actions were unjustified boggles my mind because he didn't even start it!
He showed up and quietly listened to Jin Guangyao openly break his promise to Wen Qing and Wen Ning. Watches as he riles up the crowd into lusting for his and the Remnant's death, calls him out on it, tries to argue against their accusations with very legitimate points.
AND GETS SHOT.
If he wanted them all dead, he could have so very easily hidden himself in the shadows and played his flute. Condemning them to die before they could even lift a finger. But no, he showed up to TALK.
The clans were happy about him getting shot too until they realized they'd just made him angry.
Wei Ying didn't show up with the intention to fight. He didn't show up to seek revenge. He didn't show up with any desire to even cause harm. But that arrow and the way the clans reacted to it made it more than clear that talking wasn't going to persuade them to leave him and the Remnants alone. So he fought. Not for himself. But for the Remnants. His family.
And that was his fault? The people there that night KNEW what they were doing. They reaped what they sowed. They showed up with the intent to kill an innocent group of people who had done them no harm.
He had every right to lethally attack and defend himself against the people who were also lethally attacking him.
Framing the whole incident as Wei Ying being the one at fault is the PROPAGANDA that the clans created. Why are so many readers falling for it????
Ik that human wwx X vulcan lwj is the expectation in all star trek X mdzs crossovers but. But! Hear me out, Betazoid wwx X vulcan lwj .
Telepathic besties to Telepathic lovers.
MDZS au where instead of Wwx becoming a demonic cultivator he LITERALLY becomes a demon
I love how you said he'd have a emo phase. To me honestly modern!wangji is totally goth (specfically white goth) (Saw someone say that the lans are basically wearing funeral clothing all the time which is totally gothic and I can't get it out if my mind now)
Like he'd be in full goth get out, dramatic makeup and everything!
Wwx goes to meet his family and is totally expecting to see Adam families irl, only to realise Lwjs family is just a basic trad family. (Note mod!wwx is emo!)
lan wangji has 1a hair
I was thinking about the difference between how Spock has been treated all his life ( TOS Spock) by others including his mother and then there’s Jim.
In the following scene, Amanda tries to elicit emotions out of Spock.
The thing is, Spock doesn’t need to be reminded that he has a human part. Every single moment of his childhood he struggles with it. By this age, in this scene above, he has displayed incredible personal courage to handle it. He has dived deep to realize who is he is. Neither human nor Vulcan but choosing to be more Vulcan because he is drawn to those values.
She then goes on to remind him why he was in anguish.
Yes, the other boys tormented him. The point is he understands that. He is a grown man now. He is extremely intelligent and is respected throughout the quadrant. She though shows no respect for him. She tries to revert him back to the helpless and struggling five year old he was. Because that for her is when she can connect with him. Even as a five year old he had stopped opening up to her. Because - while the other boys tormented him, they were still strangers. It was still possible to process non-acceptance from others. But own mother?
The she does this.
So, after the “other boys” had tormented him. what does she think she has done just now? Has been doing?
Contrast that with following scene.
Notice Jim, having known Spock for a long time, still doesn’t assume anything. He asks. He asks if Spock feels insulted. They both know the previous scene was insulting. This is the critical difference. He shows respect for Spock. Gives Spock an opportunity to express his emotions as Spock wants to - not how he is supposed to. Something Amanda never does. Or Sarek. Spock responds in his own unique way. He doesn’t say “No, Jim, I am fine”. He conveys how he does feel insulted but he is also wise enough to realize how emotions work. That simply acknowleding emtoions is child’s play. To be wiser beyond that, one has to understand that emotions come and go. And that it’s in our control. We can choose to let go of an emotion and no longer feel insulted. This is what Spock has been striving for. This is something he tried to tell Amanda when he says “how can you live on Vulcan and not understand Vulcan”.
So, Jim, who is NOT Vulcan, nor tries to be, and is a very emotional man, how does he respond to this moment?
Good. Why, good? Because Jim is saying, “I am glad you’re in touch with your values. It’s good because I want you to be exactly who you are.”
Jim doesn’t lecture Spock about his human side nor does he insult Spock by mocking his Vulcan ethics, which are in constrast to all the humans onboard the ship. He accepst Spock and supports Spock for what Spock has chosen to be. And he does what Spock’s parents or family never did.
“We’ll tackle him together.” He says “WE”. The unspoken message is - You and me, we are equal, I “see” you. I feel seen by you. (You have put up with my kind of insanity). I respect you. I respect your struggles and admire what you have become and continue to become. With you by my side, I feel stronger. You don’t have to rescue me. I don’t have to rescue you. We can tackle this TOGETHER.”
And this is why Jim and Spock are what they are to each other.
I need a mdzs au/fic? where wwx is actually evil but, like not full blown psychopathic and lwj is just constantly agreeing with him.
Wwx: the cultivation world is corrupt therefore I'm gonna take over it and become emperor
Lwj: whatever you want babe, wanna start with gusu?
~They/them~, In many fandoms, I like art/writing sometimes i edit, certified lwj/wwx defender they did nothing wrong.
