PLEASE REBLOG if you (male or female) believe it is perfectly okay and natural for a guy of any age to cry
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
(this ask got rude about LWJ cw)
Lan Wanji is great... As a plot device + romantic sub-plot device. He's a good husband! He makes the MC feel loved! He helps break the generational cycle of abuse of the previous generation! He is useful to bring out the theme of "love as chains vs love as an anchor" that runs through MDZS. Those things are important to the characters and the story.
But as a character? He's so replaceable. He lacks substance (not that he needed it). He's not particularly special if not for other important characters loving him.
He also has the narrative privilege of never having any serious responsibilities other than Wei Wuxian (which he CHOSE anyway). He doesn't have Sect to protect (not as leader, anyway). His choice to defend WWX happens after there's nothing he can actually do to interfere with the course of things. He didn't swear brotherhood with anyone. He raised LSH a bit but other characters also raised him.
All of this is fine, because he's the love interest. He's not a narrative foil or a parallel to the MC or an antagonist so he doesn't NEED to be a particularly complex or deep.
But damn, as a character alone? He pales in comparison to characters who are complex and unique on their own. I mean, who would read the story from his perspective?
Anyway! I'll always be more obsessed to ships that consist of warranted devotion rather than juvenile pining (like, c'mon, man, you MET AT SUMMER CAMP AND IT WAS HOT BUT THAT'S NO REASON TO BE OBSESSED)
.... I'm I may have gone off the rails. If you post this please use the anti tag because I'd feel bad otherwise. Poor shippers.

yeah hgskjghsdgjk okay
MAN YOU ARE SO ELOQUENT ON THAT AND PUT MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY INTO WORDS ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
like. almost every other character out there has so much responsibility hanging over them. even wwx, who maybe didn't have sect to lead, but instead had the "every move you make will be turned against you" kinda sword hanging above his neck.
and lwj? he was there just to look pretty and flex his muscles sometimes tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
that story would be like
chapters 1-300
i read rules. i write caligraphy. i train. i go to bed at point 21 and will wake up at 5
chapters 300-320
there's new guy in our class he's annoying
chapters 320-350
he's a good person surprisingly?
chapters 350-380
ah shit. what am i supposed to do with those feelings
chapters 380-4000
same as above, but now in bold font
Jackpot
reblog in 2.45 seconds or this humpty dumpty egg shaped being will appear in your bedroom at midnight and shoot hard boiled eggs at you and i should know bc my mom’s sister’s best friend didn’t reblog it four months ago and she is still covered in egg shaped bruises and this face still haunts her every waking hour

In light of recent events, I have realised that this is just my anxiety dump and where I keep my likes. I have another Tumblr. I will not tell you what.
