My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:
Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.
i bet when wei wuxian and lan wangji are planning their wedding wei wuxian asks about sending mianmian an invite but then he's like "oh wait lan zhan, will it be too awkward for you to have your old crush at your wedding? i know it was a long time ago, but i want you to feel comfortable. we could invite her husband and child too-" and while he's rambling away lan zhan just stares dead-eyed into the camera like he's on the office
as funny as all those “lan wangji hates bugs” headcanons are, i actually love the opposite: lan wangji loves bugs. he can identify a beetle at a glance and he always takes a few extra seconds to admire the spiders that get into the jingshi that he scoops up before he puts them outside. when he was little there was an orb weaver that took up residence beside his window and he called her maiden spider for as long as she lived. they were a special interest of his for a solid few years before bunnies, and he’s still an encyclopedia of bug facts.
but you know who doesn’t like bugs? lan xichen.
so:
lan wangji, age 8, holding up a weird-looking cricket he found: xiongzhang look
lan xichen, age 12, sweating bullets: how nice, wangji
fake dating to lovers is nice but married for non-romantic reasons to lovers is next fucking level
txt’s cant you see me hits so much harder when you realise none of your friends understand and see that you’re falling apart or maybe they just don’t care anymore
