Lan Wangji - Tumblr Posts
OMXL!!!!!!!!! MDZS and The Lion King combined?!?!?!?! Be still my heart!
Cannnnn you feeeeeeel the WANGXIAN toniiiiiight???? (Part 1/3) Wen Qing knows what's up!
This is the project I was talking about a few days ago. I came up with this idea in 2020, a month after finishing the novel. This part was drawn in 2021. I have the next part as a WIP waiting to be continued haha
Not to get hysterical but Lan Wangji literally kneels outside of his mother’s house every month waiting to be let in and it’s not clear if he does this because he doesn’t understand that she’s dead or because he does and then he kneels as punishment for going to see Wei Wuxian in the Burial Mounds and later he kneels when he’s being whipped for trying to protect him and he waits for him to come back from the dead but he doesn’t know it’s waiting until the waiting is over and he’s good at waiting and he's good at being punished and he’s good at being patient and for much of his life this is the best way he knows how to love anyone
We ALL know what he's talking about, am I right?
Sorry for more or less stealing this image, I meant no disrespect by the move, I just REALLY liked the artwork and I found it quite hilarious! Again, please forgive me for posting without your permission!
@gentil-minou and @quiet-contrary: Thank you for giving me the artist's identity. I took down my post, as you said I should, and I am reblogging it instead. Again, thank you so much!

[He wasn't scared of falling. He had fallen many times over the years. But hitting the ground still hurt. How wonderful it would be if there was someone there to catch him.]
Don't mind me just obsessing over this pair
One of my favorite additions that the MDZS adaptations gave us was the little detail that, in addition to storing Emperor’s Smile in his room, Lan Wangji also stored bamboo flutes and was implied to have learned how to carve them and did so on a regular basis.
I just really like the idea that even though he didn’t know if Wei Wuxian would come back, he was preparing for it anyway. He raised Lan Sizhui and tried to train the juniors to be open-minded and unbiased, he held the weight of his whip scars and the sun brand on his chest, he filled his room with Emperor’s Smile that he might never be able to give Wei Wuxian.
I like to think Lan Wangji was learning to carve bamboo flutes even before Wei Wuxian died, since his methods of expressing himself often manifest in secret actions rather than words. Before he knew it, he found himself taking an interest in making dizi flutes and had a collection of them building up - and Lan Xichen is watching with a knowing gaze and offers to tune the flutes to help him improve (does Lan Wangji know how to play any flutes? I assume Lan Xichen knows somewhat how to play a dizi even though his Liebing is a xiao but I'm not a floutist so idk). Bonus angst if Lan Wangji ended up burning a pile of flutes every time he had a breakdown about Wei Wuxian being dead. Then he just goes around carving more.
The original novel has Wei Wuxian using the same out-of-tune bamboo flute nearly till the end, but like - Lan Wangji seeing Wei Wuxian playing badly just to (poorly) hide his identity and then Lan Wangji being so madly eager to show off his skills that he prepared just to serve Wei Wuxian at any and all times. He just whips out a bamboo shaft and a carving tool, and masterfully makes a flute in moments, and Wei Wuxian is oblivious like "Wow, nice job, thx!" and doesn't fully grasp that Lan Wangji is saying "I will make you a thousand bamboo flutes because I love you and will give you whatever you desire, that little surprise and pleasure on your face is worth all the time I waited -"
You know?
Still working way too hard on an MDZS fic BTW, like it's way over 1000 pages in Google Docs and half of it is me just transcribing the novel and the other is me repeating my feelings on everything with an OC or three. What am I doing with my life?

I watched Mo Dao Zu Shi and just couldn't help but draw WangXian.
I also hyperfixated on them hard. Like really hard. So await more art with the Chinese husbands 😅
it's not talked about enough, how lan wangji begins mirroring wei wuxian in body after he dies. It's symbolic, I think, and also very beautiful.
See, it's pretty clearly stated that there was no body left of wei wuxian after his death. There was nothing left. Lan Wangji checked. But wei wuxian and him– they were a part of each other. They were mirrors, in sharing the same morality and beliefs. They were a single soul, just in different bodies and expressing their morals in different ways.
And so, Lan Wangji, grieving and so, so alone, becomes Wei Wuxian. He begins to be him in his absence – in his death – because he believed in him and believed the world to be better for his existence and now he was gone. And lan wangji had a responsibility to that, to the vow they took.
The wen brand, exactly where wei wuxian's own was. The whip marks, the same as the ones probably left by zidian on wei wuxian's back. Breaking the rule on drinking, to understand wei wuxian's love for it better.
Keeping pieces of him in private, becoming him in public. Teaching students under his tutelage wei wuxian's techniques. Being bolder, more shameless, more like the man he loved.
Wei Wuxian's body and soul may have been lost forever, but not to Lan Wangji. He who knew wei wuxian better than the back of his own hand. The world may have killed him, but not to Lan Wangji. No, to him, wei ying was always alive, living in him, in a-yuan, in jars of wine and bottles of chili oil, in hidden flowers between pages of books, in the rabbits hopping about, and at the core of the urge to live with no regrets.
Wei Wuxian: Hanguang-Jun and I don’t have the best relationship.
*blank stares from everyone who watched them spend their adolescence completely obsessed with each other*
Wei Wuxian: The best relationship would be husbands.
MY ENTIRE SHORT MXTX LIFE I THOUGHT THE GUY IN WHITE ON THE COVER WAS WEI WUXIAN BUT IT’S NOT MY LIFE IS A LIE IT WAS LAN WANGJI THE WHOLE TIME
The cultivation world: Wei Wuxian is better than us cause we’d never have saved anyone from an unjust death, especially not someone who killed us before.
Jin Guangyao: If people were as good as Wei Wuxian, my clan would never have had the chance to kill him.
Jiang Cheng: Wow, Wei Wuxian really is better than me because he gave me his golden core with no thoughts of repayment or retribution for me leading an army to murder him. I am a clown.
The damn author herself: Wei Wuxian is better than everyone except for his husband, who matches his morality and righteousness.
This fandom for some fucking reason: Actually, not only does Wei Wuxian suck, but he’s just as bad as all the other characters, because why else would they hate him? You can’t hate good people, that’s illegal. Critical analysis is my specialty!
red, lies bleeding.
I literally cannot-
