Wei Wuxian has never heard of the word subtle and that is a blessing on us all: have a drink with me Lan Zhan, here's a picture I drew of you looking all beautiful and moody Lan Zhan, let's talk Lan Zhan, don't we have so much in common Lan Zhan, I thought you were boring but actually I was wrong and I have such respect for you and your mad fighting skills Lan Zhan, it sure would make sense to bathe naked in this cold spring Lan Zhan, I made a special lantern for you Lan Zhan, I'll just sleep on your roof like a little creeper Lan Zhan et cetera et cetera. A blessing.
Lan Wangji: don't touch my special headband, only parents and significant others are allowed to touch it
Lan Wangji, ten hours later: *uses special headband to tie his and Wei Wuxians hands together for extremely important spiritual safety reasons*
Wei Wuxian: *already planning a special wrist binding spell of his own for reasons*
Wei Wuxian's face every time Lan Wangji rescues him: my sun, my moon, my everything
Nie Huaisang: you know, your boo is an arrogant bastard but he sure is gorgeous surrounded by falling flower petals
Wei Wuxian, 0% hesitation, 100% fond smugness: ikr!
Lan Wangji's face 99% of the time: the only emotions that register are mild alarm, extreme annoyance, and extreme annoyance that masks how deeply flustered he is
Lan Wangji's face when seeing a drawing of a bunny: *eyes grow soft, one corner of mouth lifts five degrees, the whole thing lasts two seconds*
Wei Wuxian: VICTORY
Lan Xichen ships his little brother with Wei Wuxian so hard it's adorable
No one packs any bags for travelling. Like here we have various people heading to do heroic deeds and no one is carrying so much as a change of underwear on them, nevermind like, oh idk, food. My need for realism is very flexible for sure but at least a backpack? I mean even the zombies/soulless puppet villagers packed more than that when they headed off to try and storm the temple. Granted, they packed things like a soup ladle, an empty basket and a massive branch that one extra just found lying on the ground and picked up because at least it looked a bit more effective for soulless intimidation than an empty picnic basket.
I am fond of all the ritualistic kneeling. But also the punishment kneeling, and oh look, actual bastinado. And Wei Wuxian getting choked a bit, ngl I'm also into that.
Please someone tell me Nie Huaisang is secretly capable? Does he kill people with his fan? Something? Anything?
Wei Wuxian: *lets his intelligence slip out and says something clever and insightful*
Lan Wangji: *has an almost visible emotion and really doesn't like it*
I assume 'going on a night hunt together' is both an actual description and an euphemism for 'making tender love under the moonlight' because of Lan Wangji's face every time Wei Wuxian tells a new set of people that they totally did that. Together. Him and this hot Second Young Master Lan here. They hunted all. night. long.
Okay, I am not quite following the logic of the Meng Yao|Jin Guangyao being disowned but my take away from that is that he should now run back to Lan Xichen for some repressed love and class difference angst with a healthy dose of service/loyalty kink, yes?

If you want copious amounts of death by fan, you might consider watching Word of Honor next. It's a show with a lot of flaws, but I found the enjoyable things about it to be completely worth it. Especially the character a friend of mine dubbed "martial arts Oscar Wilde," who is gorgeously deadly with a fan.

Well, that does sound appealing, thanks for the rec! I'll be with this show for a while yet though as my watch rate is not very fast (too many other things taking up my attention too!)

They are magical pouches that hold more than they appear to be able to. ("Bag of Holding" is a D&D item that does the same thing; I forget sometimes not everyone's as much of a gamer geek as I am, sorry about that!)
And oh yes, definitely roll around in and savor The Untamed first . :)
