Oh my stars!

Beautiful

In another spectrum, something something "Lan Wangji *didn't love (*cough cough obsessed with Wei Ying) enough, but somehow still made everything about his life orbiting around Wei Ying....

To top it all, then they use this as justification to say that he is a boring character with nothing else going on in his life and this is why they don't like him as a love interest...

He's the funniest character next to Wei Ying and he had layers and nuance even though we didn't see his inner. thoughts.

I think it's actually a very important distinction that Mianmian isn’t called a "servant’s (家仆) daughter" by Jiang Cheng but a domestic slave’s (家奴) daughter, actually. I think words mean things, actually, and that Chinese isn't just a bunch of made-up ink splotches and sounds that we can "Interpret" any way we want to.

Thinking about the Hadestown proshot and Orpheus being introduced wiping down a table with his back to the audience. Hermes has to call out to him again to get him to take his opening bow, and for the show to start, Orpheus has to turn around.

My liege im sorry to break it to you but your advisor that's actually evil and wants you dead turned out to be straight. I know you really wanted to have an enemies to lovers situation with him. Yeah I'm afraid the poisoning didn't hold any romantic intent behind it. The king of the enemy kingdom is bisexual though, I could send him a letter? Yes, I'll make sure to include multiple threats of homoerotic nature. You will have your toxic yaoi, my liege

something about how wei wuxian was the kind of person to always join someone on the “crowded broad road” if only so he could be the “crowd” for that one person, but in the end, there was no one to deter him from the path of the single plank. it’s the way wei wuxian wanted to carry lan wangji when his leg was injured, when no one else would step in to help but wei wuxian did because someone had to. it’s the way he goaded wen chao and executed a strategy so everyone could get out alive because the “every man for himself” mentality wouldn’t help them out of that situation. it’s the way he immediately assured jiang cheng when he felt isolated in his family, the way wwx always stood up for yanli. it’s the way wei wuxian helped wen qing and the remnants with everything he had and the way he fought xue yang to justice because xiao xingchen deserved that defence, even in death. wei wuxian was always a reliable figure for people in need of his help, even in the future with the juniors coming to always look to him when faced with an issue–not because he would spoonfeed them solutions, but because he would never abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves. it’s the way, after his first life, wei wuxian finally gets this unhindered reciprocated support in the form of lan wangji and how he will never have to leave the broad road again because they will never leave each other’s side even in the afterlife.
