ghost king wen ning

interpreting jiang cheng as the responsible one is so funny because it's always wei wuxian who is forced to accomodate him, not the other way around. jiang cheng abandons the wens bevause theyre politically inconvenient and delivers an ultimatum to force wei wuxian to abandon them too, but wei wuxian chooses to walk the lonely, impossible path and honor their debts in jiang cheng's place. jiang cheng's feelings are hurt because his father mildly scolds him for victim blaming wei wuxian, but it's wei wuxian — who just had to endure madam yu smearing his dead parents' memory and hurtling verbal abuse at him, on top of jiang cheng lashing out at him — that has to placate jiang cheng to the point of swearing fealty to him. jiang cheng strangles wei wuxian and blames him for the destruction of lotus pier, even though he's fully aware that's not true, and wei wuxian has to just get over it and focus on protecting him. guys, jiang cheng is not the pure-hearted noble meow meow you want him to be. the whole point of mdzs is disrupting the gentry's propaganda and illusions. the nobles are not benevolent rulers, theyre not exceptionally wise, clever, or compassionate. theyre not the ones who have to live with or handle the consequences of other people's careless actions. did we even read the same novel

modern day nie huaisang still carries a fan & he uses it to disperse his vape clouds when no one is looking

everyone had that one guy at their wizard school said edgy shit like "dark magic is just misunderstood, not evil" that ended up wanted in three countries for necromancy

i love that whenever wei wuxian gets accused of a crime his default defense is “i didnt do it because if i did i would have a done a better job”
