“No one can walk a single-plank bridge their entire lives and never fall”
I think about this quote daily
’I have to catch up’
Old art from last year, super early into digital 💀 but people seem to like it anyway 🩵
Night meeting sketch
I see this a lot in fics, especially ones that use demon cultivation versus ghost cultivation, but Wei Wuxian's cultivation isn't easy. I keep seeing people write it like it is some easy thing that people were doing in droves, but other than certain talismans, we aren't given any indication that anybody else learned how to use Guidao. It takes a certain level of mental fortitude, empathy, respect, humbleness and discipline to achieve to do even a tenth of what Wei Wuxian does.
theres something so ironic about jiang cheng saying "you promised that as long as the gusulan sect had its two jades, yunmengjiang sect would have its two prides" and "that i'd be sect leader and you'd be my subordinate" in the same sentence.
could you imagine lan xichen ever referencing to lan wangji as his 'subordinate' or demand that he "help [lcx] [his] whole life".
actually, we know exactly what lxc would do in a situation where lwj might have 'betrayed' their sect, he would do everything in his power to protect him. lwj, on paper, does all the things jiang cheng accuses of wwx; protecting an outsider, hurting their elders ect. but lxc doesnt hold this over lwj, instead he tries his best to understand the emotional turmoil lwj is under and make sure that lwj is given the least harsh punishment he could possibly get.
jiang cheng could never get his 'two prides' bc that would have required him to view wwx as his equal. when really, all he wanted was a subordinate who would help him run a sect for his whole life without complaining or ever leaving him.
This video is EXACTLY what Lan Qiren fears is going to happen the moment he lets Wei Wuxian back into Cloud Recesses
"A boy who consumes cursed objects"
Oh suguru you would've loved Yuji 🤧
"And a boy who was blesses with a unique curse technique"
Lan Wangji!!!!
Inappropriate use of curse technique
prompt for @/shiraayasha on twitter for the juniors quartet g4g here, thanks so much!
MDZS AU where Jiang Cheng realizes that Lan Sizhui is the Wen orphan that Wei Wuxian took care off during the Burial Mounds arc, decides that's close enough to qualify him as Nephew, declares that no Nephew of His (much less a surrogate son of Wei Wuxian's) is going to be raised in the Cloud Recedes, and immediately launches into a custody battle with Lan Wangji.
But since neither Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji can acknowledge that Sizuhi has any connection to Wei Wuxian, both begin steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that he is a Cultivator of peerless potential and skill and he belongs in their sect thank you very much, and would clearly be very unhappy in the other's. This confuses the hell out of the already mystified Cultivation world, who had barely adjusted yet to gossiping about Sizhui being Wangji's illegitimate child by mysterious love affair.
(Eventually the common consensus in the rumor mills is that both JC and LW where in love with Sizhui's mother and both believe themselves to be Sizhui's real father.)
(LW couldn't care less what gossips say, but JC has to bite his tongue till it bleeds to avoid telling anyone the truth in a fit of anger.)
(It was Nie Huaisang who put that rumor out in the first place, partly to troll JC, partly because, in a way, it's a little true.)
