Protect/Sacrifice

Seeing a lot of people in the tags looking at my account and thinking this was meant for wangxian but it's important to me that everyone understands the nuances of lan wangji my favorite boy so I must correct the narrative: lwj fully believed his love was unrequited and was fine with it, and had moved on post-wwx death keeping his memory alive. He would not have planned a wedding for when wwx came back, nor would he have specifically revived wwx to marry him, because he would always respect wwx's decision to be free and would never try to chain him to a world that hates him only to fulfill his own desires; it's important that he's eternally accepting of wwx and overjoyed at his return, but that he was not the decision maker in this case.

#lwj did not search for him after his death to revive him#and he certainly did not think that marriage was a possibility#he searched for him because he knew that he was not at rest#and liable to become a fierce corpse#he searched for him to let him go#not to keep him there#so

wwx: you’re here.

Didn’t really do anything for lwj bday but I have this silly doodle

What makes him perfect is the complete lack of care about anything other than his own goals and the people he cares about. For him the ends always justifies the means, any and all collateral damage is ok.

ill never be normal about them
