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.

(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 😭😭😭😭
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

You’re crying about a Mall piano video?
The intricate nature and rituals of music and two men who would usually not be so tender playing such emotional piano in tandem with one another. Working with one another, got to me alright?
sometimes i think i’m overblowing the weirdness of the gen z puritan thing but my roommate won’t wear her favorite skirt with a slit in it to a massive kpop concert because a member of the band is a minor

Reblog this post if you want good luck related to money today
some of my favorite parts and titles from the How To Train Your Dragon book series
bonus:
I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.
Hope you find someone with some genuine mutual feelings fam
