Wei Wuxian: I missed you, Lan Zhan!
Lan Wangji: I was only gone for a few hours.
Wei Wuxian: You were gone for three and half hours. The first two and a half were terrible, and then I just went numb.
It is time. Join me on this adventure and comment along - if you dare~~

It's my favorite time...
DRUNK LAN WANGJI TIME!!!!
--
but first, Wen Ning .·°՞(っ-ᯅ-ς)՞°·.
god the nails he pulls out are so big its awful
--
DRUNK LAN ZHAN! DRUNK LAN ZHAN! DRUNK LAN ZHAN!
God yibo put his whole wangussy into this scene - the ridiculous shit with the deadpan face??? incredible
Also this is your friendly reminder that chickens were given as a proposal/wedding gift
Lan Zhan is blatantly professing his love in this scene
100/10
--
Censorship: WTF is this gay shit?!
CQL Team: lol no he's just drunk see hahaha
Censorship: lol okay
--
I love Lan Zhan's little pouty face
It's so cute
--
Wei Ying: Don't worry, you didn't do anything you just said a lot of stuff.
Lan Zhan, panicking: ...Like what?
Wei Ying: That you like....
Lan Zhan:
Wei Ying: Rabbits!! Lol!
Lan Zhan: ....
Wei Ying had my poor man going through all the stages of grief
--
Oh god it's time.
For the Yi City Arc.
--
IT'S ALL THE LADS!!
JIN LING! LAN JINGYI! LAN SIHZUI! AND NOW OUYANG ZIZHEN!!!!
The boys are all here ✧*。٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*。
also I finally get my Jin Ling Lan Jingyi content
--
Wei Ying scaring them just to get them to fall in line (i mean yes they were poisoned but he goes so dramatic with it)
The idea of him helping teach them with Night Hunts and what not is just delightful
--
I love all the little details they kept from the books.
Like Wei Ying grabbing the little lighter talisman before Sizhui drops it. Or later, Jingyi's chicken falling out of his mouth as he watched Lan Zhan go upstairs.
There's so many instances but I'm just listing those because they absolutely could have omitted those things but kept them in.
Again, i know changes were made but i stand by my statement that this is one of the greatest adaptations of all time.
It is time. Join me on this adventure and comment along - if you dare~~

Oh the shenanigans Wei ying and Jin Ling could get up to post canon
--
BRIDGE CARRY SCENE!!!!
Also, once again, Lan Zhan looking at the moon.
And Wei Ying looking so in love???? (I mean me too he looks incredible who wouldn't)
--
Wei Ying: Lan Zhan, I'm okay.
Lan Zhan, seeing Wei Ying's leg:
--
Lan Zhan: let me carry you on my back
Wei Ying: No.
Lan Zhan: you once carried me on your back.
Wei YIng: What no i didn't?
Lan Zhan: you never remember these things
a fun little domestic moment, but also a good reference to Wei Ying having a bad memory in general, but also not remembering what happened after the Pledge conference
10/10
--
The little smile on Wei Ying's face when Lan Zhan grabs him before they go into the room to talk to Huaisang????
GAY
--
There's a super great detail I love in this scene (edit: maybe its not this scene but this does happen at some point), where Huaisang almost slips and calls Wei Ying by his name. If you don't know, you could just assume maybe it was a slip of the tongue, maybe this 'stranger' reminds of wei ying (he does make a comment about him being familiar), but if you know... ( ¬ᴗ¬)
It's a great detail that you don't really pickup on the first time
--
Sugar Daddy Lan Zhan spoiling his wife (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)♡
--
Huaisang exposing his family's history because he plans to rebuild it all, amazing. Him eventually becoming chief cultivator??? Iconic
--
Wei Ying complimenting his fan because he belittled in the past????
Brb crying
--
Love love love the look Lan Zhan gives Wei Ying when their playing music together.
That smile???
That's a "we're gonna fuck later" smile
--
Oh there it is!! It's when they go back to the Sabre Offering Hall that Huaisang almost slips and calls him Wei-ge or Wei-gongzi. But they play it off as "oh hey don't sit on that coffin"
good shit
90/10
--
Wei Ying: We have a small favor to ask.
Huaisang: What is it?
Wei Ying: Really not a big deal. Just bring out every single sabre there is :)
Huaisang:
--
God poor huaisang. Having to watch his brother die in such a horrific way, and then realize the person who was 'comforting' him through it was actually the one responsible????
--
Lan Zhan: How's the curse mark?
Wei Ying: should I strip down to show you?
Lan Zhan:...
Translation: Yes, but not right now.
--
"Everyone wanted to punish Xue Yang, except Jin Guangshan."
Dumbass. Hypocrite. Bitch.
--
Oh Xiao Xingchen you horrifically tragic figure.
--
Lan Zhan: SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS!!!!!!!
(well, one shot)

Jin Ling: I’m kind of crushing on someone, but I’m worried about telling you who it is, because you’re not going to like it.
Lan Sizhui: Just rip the bandage off.
Jin Ling: It’s Lan Jingyi.
Lan Sizhui: Put the bandage back on.

Last flashback episode before we're back to present day and can have a gay time
--
And now he is truly fully broken. The death of his sister is what destroyed and last restraint he had
And now Lan Zhan gets to lose the love his his life (for 13 years)
--
"He's injured, quickly grab the Yin Tiger Tally!"
Wei Ying: THIS??!?!?! YOU'VE MADE ME GO THROUGH HELL FOR THIS?!?!?!?!?!
--
Oh hey look its the scene from the opening of the first episode!
--
oh god no. it's the cliff scene.
--
NEVER FORGET
no other cultivator was able to defeat Wei Ying. He took himself out
--
Wei Ying be relieved to see Jiang Cheng, accepting he would kill him
Lan Zhan actually calling him his name (Jiang Wanyin), just begging for him not to
Jiang Cheng, not able to actually stab him, and just hits the rock instead
Wei Ying throwing himself down so Lan Zhan wouldn't get dragged down with him
--
BUT ANYWAY WE'RE BACK TO PRESENT DAY HOORAY!!!!
--
Lan Zhan playing WuJi to help Wei Ying recover faster
that shit gay
--
Wei Ying: Why did you wait 3 years to look for me :(
Narrator: AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE'LL FIND OUT LATER!
--
The two bunnies kissing (੭ ;´ - `;)੭ ♡
--
Lan Zhan naked in the pool, what will Wei Ying do????
(˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Also how did he get all those whip marks? And that brand? That's crazy it's identical to the one Wei Ying had. Anyway.
--
UGH lan zhan with his hair down is too powerful
i know he had to wear the huge headpieces so he'd look taller than Xiao Zhan, but still we were ROBBED! ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა
--
"How can a sword have such a great about of resentment?"
How indeed (。﹏。")
--
Wei Ying: I can't let Lan Qiren know my identity, I can't play the flute well while he's still conscious
Wei Ying: *plays hot cross buns*
(it would have been hysterical i'm just saying)
--
LAN SIZHUI!!!
BABY BOY!!!
--
Wei Ying: Wait you don't think i did this right?
Lan zhan: Babe, no of course not
--
*Lan Jingyi & Sizhui appear in frame*
THATS THEM THOSE ARE MY BOYS!!!
--
I was gonna talk about I love the parallel specific to the show, of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying walking down the same road all those years ago, both times to track down Yin Metal
But then the Yiling Laozu drawings popped up and I start dying because of how offended Wei Ying gets at him being drawn as an unattractive man
--
Jin Ling! Spoiled baby boy.
I love how Wei Ying is just like "ugh he inherited all his uncle and father's bad traits"
--
FAIRY!!!!
I know in the books Fairy is described quite differently, but I absolutely love the dog they have in the show
It is time. Join me on this adventure and comment along - if you dare~~

We're almost there folks. Gotta push through. Get all the tears out now.
--
Me: *genuinely sobbing*
Ad: TRY OLAY!
Me, through tears: Thanks, Xiao Zhan.
--
The fact that Wei Ying went to pay his respects, and to see his sister
The fact that Yanli had EVERY reason to turn against him and hate him, but still loved him and just wanted to talk to him
--
Just assume I'm crying typing all of this
Because I am. I had to wipe some tears off they keyboard.
--
God seeing the Wen Clan remnants just hanging
It's so fucked up (and well done, it gets the reaction they want from the audience)
--
Pledge Conference! Pledge Conference!
--
Just Jin Guangyao and Jin Guangshan casually lying to everyone "oh yeah we totally killed wen qing AND wen ning"
--
The laughter of a broken man. I have no words, he executed this part perfectly
--
"Who was the schemer? And who was the one schemed against?"
THAT'S RIGHT YOU TELL THEM!
--
Sect Leader Yao: have you no sympathy or compassion?
SHUT UP OH MY GOD SHUT UP
--
Random Disciple: You disappointment. I once looked up to you!
Wei Ying: LMAO BULLSHIT!!!!!!
--
Once again, they fired the first shot. They started the fight.
AND THE AUDACITY TO BE UPSET HE SHOT BACK!!!!!!
Call them out Wei Ying
--
The look on Xichen's face just "ugh we're gonna have to kill wei ying, Wangji's gonna be so depressed."
--
Despite everything, Wei Ying still making sure no one from the Jiang Clan gets hurt/attacked because he loves his family
--
Hi Lan Zhan
--
Wei Ying thinking that Lan Zhan also turned on him, but in reality he's trying to top him so he can save him
No one talk to me
--
"Ah Xian!"
me:
--
Oh my goodness who is that mysterious person play the flute now?
And I wonder if anyone besides Lan Wangji will notice that it's not Wei Wuxian playing....
--
for the sake of my heart i may save the rest of my thoughts until the end of the episode
It is time. Join me on this adventure and comment along - if you dare~~

Ah yes, our first pre-ep ad
--
JGY: Zixun you look itchy, what's wrong? Do you maybe have someone you could blame for this??? Just curious. I also have nothing to do with that curse you have. Did I say curse? i meant whatever is bothering you.
--
WEI WUXIAN YOU COVER THOSE KNEES RIGHT NOW YOU HARLOT
--
I'm sorry but Lan Wangji's letter kills me every time
"Hey Wei Ying, how you doin'?"
fucking hysterical
But at the same time, Wen Qing reading the letter and seeing the writing on the wall that this invitation back may be the beginning of the end (maybe not in the way she expected, but she knew things would change)
--
The Jin Clan wants to build observation towers? Huh sounds kinda similar to the Wen Clan's Supervisory Offices.
Probably not worth looking into
--
HE JUST WANTED HIS NEPHEW TO BE SAFE
CARVING HIM A PROTECTION BRACELET
--
Wen Ning: Lol I thought it was a trap, looks like I was wrong
The Narrator: Unfortunately, Wen Ning was right. It was a trap. A very elaborately laid trap. Laid by a sneaky bitch.
--
JIN ZIXUN SHOT FIRST
HE FIRED THE FIRST ARROW
EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS WAS SELF DEFENSE ON WEI YING'S PART
--
"I don't even remember who you are"
Wei Ying always forgetting who Zixun who despite him being one of his biggest haters will forever be iconic of him
--
I do like how in the show there are... other influences.. as to why Wen Ning does what he does. It makes more sense for the show characterization
--
Zixuan: BITCH WTF ARE YOU DOING I INVITED HIM HERE YOU ARE RUINING EVERYTHING
Zixun: *proceeds to continue to make things worse*
And that's why you die bitch. I'm not sorry at all. Zixuan, that one hurts. But you? might watch that on repeat
--
Poor Wen Ning, he didn't ask for any of this. It's not his fault.
Oh Zixuan. I'm so sorry you had a jealous, shit half-brother.
--
The look of pure shock and horror on Wei Ying's face
I can feel it in my soul
--
anyway it's only tears from here on out
--
The fact that the last time Wei Ying sees A Yuan, he's angry and A Yuan starts crying. Wei Ying screaming, asking someone to tell him what to do because he's finally started to break (i'd say he's broken but that last broken moment comes later at the pledge conference)
--
Wen Qing, paralyzing Wei Ying so they can turn themselves in. Wei Ying still trying to fight back with everything because he still doesn't want them to die.
The point Wei Ying made "even if I'm innocent they will say I'm guilty" coming back into play
--
Wen Qing: we may be able to find the person who put the curse on Zixun, but who knows how long that will take?
Me: approx 13 years.
--
Wen Qing's "There are some words that need to be said... I am sorry. And thank you."
And then Wei Ying passing that on to Jin Ling later?
--
Yanli only having 1 year with her husband
Only 1 month with her husband and son

We've come so far, yet still have so far to go. Tears have already been shed today. It will only get worse.
--
To quote a user I saw on threads or this same scene
"SOMEBODY BUY THIS BOY'S RADISHES!!!"
--
Jiang Family reunion
--
the fact that it was Jiang Cheng's idea for WEi Ying to pick the name
The fact that Wei Ying included Lan (a different lan, but still lan) to be in the name
It's just too much MXTX how could you do this to me
--
And now we get to a point that someone pointed out once and has haunted me ever since
Jiang Yanli takes the lotus rib soup to Wen Ning, Wen Ning takes it back to A Yuan
A Yuan knows what her soup tastes like, but Jin Ling doesn't
If I'm crying, so must you
--
WEN NING TAKING CARE OF A-YUAN
--
A Yuan trying to cheer Wei Ying up "let's turn into birds and fly"
Your honor that's his son, he loves A Yuan so much, and A Yuan loves his mother so much!!
--
Jin Guangshan: The more diligently Guangyao works, the more I am worried.
I hate you, but you were right. Hit the nail on the head with that one.
--
also back to costumes and coloring, Wei Ying's outfit at the burial mounds, its a gray, but a very purple gray. Because he is consistently doing the impossible.
Can't live there? Done.
Can't grow food? Easy.
Can't return Wen Ning's consciousness? Don't even stress.
Can't grow lotuses? Check out these sprouts.
--
Ah the one year skip. Jin Ling's birth celebration. I'm only good things happen from here on out.
--
Chubby ass lil baby, omg
--
UGH Zixun i cannot wait for you to die. LIke yeah a bunch of bad shit happens and it all leads to tears, but like silver linings and what not
--
Jin Zixun: yeah i bet you wanna invite Wei Ying, you HOMO!!!!!!
Lan Zhan: I'll destroy you.
--
Jin Guangyao: I have idea, but idk if it'll work.
SCHEMER SCHEMER SCHEMER MENACE MURDERER
--
"Lan Zhan, you go ahead and send the invitation to Wei Ying."
Lan Zhan: YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!
It is time. Join me on this adventure and comment along - if you dare~~
All reactions/comments will be put under "Read More" ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
The fact that Lan Zhan goes to see Wei Ying, after already being punished, and knowing he will be punished again
I want someone to love me the way he loves him
--
The side eye A Yuan gives Wei Wuxian when WWX says "I have to tell him something a couple times for him to listen" is fucking hysterical
--
Wei Ying: So what's happening?
Lan Zhan: Your sister is getting married.
Wei Ying, realizing he won't be able to attend:
--
Guys leave Wen Ning alone, he's been stuck inside that cave for months he's just a lil hangry
--
Lan Wangji seeing Wei Wuxian's living space: Oh this will not do. I will make sure our place at the Cloud Recesses is far more comfortable.
--
Wei Ying pretending to faint just so Lan zhan will catch him?
Gay
--
"Who cares about the crowded, broad road? I insist on walking down the single-plank bridge up to its dark end."
I'M SURE THIS QUOTE WON'T COME BACK IN ANY EMOTIONAL WAY WHATSOEVER
(also i'm so happy they included that line)
--
The feast the Wens throw for Wei Ying??? It's so sweet. They're so thankful. These people are just trying to live their lives
And the fact they do what they do later just to try and save him from the world?
Again, what am I supposed to do with this?
--
UGH the parallel of earlier in the show, Wen Qing seeing Jiang Yanli and Wei ying, then being reminded of her and Wen Ning; to now Wei Ying seeing Wen Qing and Wen Ning, and being reminded of him and Jiang Yanli??
Makes me sick to my stomach
--
Wei Ying's little drunk blush? adorable
And then him drunkenly reminiscing about his and Lan Zhan's first meeting?
GAY
--
ZHAN/YIBO DUET VERSION OF WUJI IS ON
--
I love the Yiling Laozu cosplays they're so funny
Meanwhile Wei Ying and Wen Ning (mostly wen ning) are just trying to sell radishes
--
And the fact that things were going fine. That people were beginning to come around to accepting Wei Ying.
BUT SOMEONE HAD TO GO AND FUCK IT UP BECAUSE HE SAW A CHANCE AT A POWER GRAB WHILE PUSHING THE BLAME AWAY FROM HIMSELF
Lan Jingyi, to Jin Ling: I am an excellent secret keeper! I have kept all of our secrets.
Lan Sizhui: What secrets?
Lan Jingyi: Oh no no, Sizhui! I’m not gonna tell you because I am an excellent secret keeper.
Jin Ling: *walks away*
Lan Sizhui: You’ll tell me later?
Lan Jingyi: You already know.

The further we get along in the episodes, the closer to the pledge conference we get. I both love and hate it. It's such a good sequence but I will be sobbing uncontrollably. but for now we still have some time
--
Jiang Cheng: do you realize how many eyes are on you right now?!?!
Wei Ying: good thing i have no bad angles.
--
And Wei Ying finally saying out loud the truth and tragedy of MDZS (until all is resolved at the end, spoiler) that even if he's right, it doesn't matter. No one will believe him, all the sects have turned on him, so even if he proves himself right he will still be wrong
--
Jiang Cheng trying one last time to get his brother back, and even recognizing that 'you have to fall in line with what the clan heads say otherwise you're labeled an enemy' - but still doing exactly that
Wei Ying saying "if you can't protect me, then abandon me"
Them crying realizing what they have to do
For the next several episodes, please understand this is exactly what I look like:
--
Wen Qing trying to keep Wei Ying from sacrificing everything for her and her family
OH I FORGOT ABOUT JIANG CHENG SLEEPING WITH THE COMB UNDER HIS PILLOW
HE STILL LOVES HER SO MUCH BUT HE'S BECOME TOO HARDENED AND PRIDEFUL
But then also revealing that Wen Qing had kept the comb with her all that time???
they would have been so good together, i am forever grateful/hateful to The Untamed for including that subplot
--
Wei Ying taking the lessons he learned from Lan Zhan and playing the Soul Cleansing song for Wen Ning
Shut up - CQL DO NOT GIVE ME THIS LITTLE TUNE WITH A FUNKY BEAT BEHIND IT RIGHT NOW IM CRYING TEARS OF HEARTBREAK
--
Brother Fight Time
"It's over Jiang Cheng! I have the high ground!"
Oh no, Wei Ying was injured in a very specific location. I'm sure he will never be hurt in that exact same location again.
--
Anyone ever seen Twisted? The lyrics
The question that is whether 'tis nobler in the mind to be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned?
Anyway
--
Wei Ying's little pose as he goes "See I'm fine!" to Wen Qing is so cute
But also my bleeding quite a lot and does in fact need to seek medical attention.
--
Jin Zixuan planting lotuses for Yanli so she feels more at home. And the fact that he planted them himself instead of having servants do it??? like oh my god the character growth he has gone through
"I'm willing to build another Lotus Pier for you"
MAN IS DOWN SO BAD he just needed time and freedom to let his heart decide. And to learn to be humble
--
I feel like I saw somewhere that Zixuan and Yanli's actors played a couple in another drama and I'm like oh i gotta see that cause adorable
--
LAN ZHAN IN YILING
You know what this means???? Father son meeting bonding time!
--
"Look it's his father. He's got his nose!"
You see? That's their kid!
--
oh the look of relief and just pure love on Lan Zhan's face when he sees Wei Ying
Just a family trying to have a nice day at the market
--
"Lan Zhan even though you have a pretty face-"
Narrator: Lan Zhan did not hear any other words Wei Ying said after that
--
Lan Zhan: Oh this is your kid? our kid now. And now I will spoil him with all the toys he wants.

These episodes are going by so fast I swear it felt so much longer the first couple times I watched it
--
Wei Ying: Lan Zhan, if I have to die, I would rather die in your hands.
LIKE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT??!?!?!
--
Burial Mounds! Burial Mounds!
--
Nie Mingjue, staring directly into Jin Guangyao's soul: yeah maybe they didn't kill anyone, but they also didn't stop it, making them just as bad.
--
Jin Guangshan: i know it's none of my business so i shouldn't interfere. However I'm going to interfere.
--
Sect Leader Yao: does Wei ying really think people want his Yin Tiger Tally? don't be ridiculous
Literally the entire audience: Um... i mean we saw the first episode... so yeah
--
YES LAN ZHAN STAND UP FOR YOUR MAN
"wEi YiNg DiSrEsPeCtEd ClAn LeAdEr JiAnG dUrInG tHe HuNt On BaIfEnG"
"No the fuck he didn't."
And then everyone immediately gets awkward. Live laugh love it
--
Oh my god. Sect Leader Yao, and I mean this with the utmost sincerity. Shut the actual fuck up. I can't stand his fuck ass.
And then Mian Mian also being like "you guys are full of shit, fuck this, fuck you, I'm out"
I love that she gets her happy ending
--
"Wen Ning died cause he slipped and fell down a cliff"
yeah slipped and got impaled by a spirit summoning flag. ok.
--
Jin Guangshan: oh wei ying must be wanting to set up a sect for himself
Meanwhile, Wei Ying at the Burial Mounds just trying to save Wen Ning:
--
Lan Zhan: Xichen, i hate your fuckass twink boyfriend
--
Lan Qiren: You really followed him all the way to Qionqi and let him go?!?!
Lan Wangji: lol yep
--
The Narrator: and now we take a break from gay angst to give you some hetero development
--
If Jin Zixuan had actually been allowed to be Clan Leader, he would have fixed so many things, especially with Yanli at his side
Which is EXACTLY WHY JIN GUANGY-
--
UGH Jiang Cheng watching his sister fall more in love with Zixuan, knowing his brother is essentially gone, that he's going to have to go home completely alone?? The transition started a while ago but you can see his heart hardening further
--
A YUAN!!!!!!!!
Literally him:
--
The kid who plays A Yuan is so adorable and looks just like young sizhui
once again excellent casting
--
It's so sad seeing Wei Wuxian just trying to be casual, but seeing Jiang Cheng's demeanor and knowing things are different and now im crying
Also Jiang Cheng be nice to A Yuan that's your nephew
--
The fact he can hardly even look Wen Qing in the EYE?!?!?! YOUR HONOR
--
I love that we get to see the early stages of Wei Ying's creations that everyone ends up using later on.
--
oh hey its the first post episode ad
I remember the first time watching this i was so startled (ᵕ—ᗜ—)

We're about to start getting to some real tear-ritory stuff
--
The dreaded return of Su She. Bitch.
and the fact that Jin Guangyao invites him, but pretends to be like "omg there's bad blood between him and lans??? i had noooo idea omg"
Bitches everywhere
--
Wei Ying coming to wreck shit and call the Jins out
We love to see it
Absolutely iconic forever
But first, Jin Zixun being a little shit AGAIN. I can't even say little shit that feels too kind. I hate him. "Hey I know your family doesn't drink. Drink with me or you're being rude."
Like what a fuck ass
Tho I do kinda love the change from the book where Wei Ying drinks for both brothers, to him just drinking for Lan Zhan
gay
--
Also the fact that Wei Ying was like "hey let's talk in private so as to not embarrass yourself or your family."
Which Jin Zixun could have absolutely used to his advantage if he had even a singular brain cell. But instead his pride forced his hand and Wei Ying got to air out all the dirty laundry in front of everyone
10/10
--
Jin Guangshan: I mean, you're causing quite a ruckus. Isn't that a bit rude.
Wei Ying: My apologies. I did not mean to disturb the banquet. Also if you remember, like a minute ago I asked to speak to him one on one away from the banquet so like...
Jin Guangshan:.... Ok well what about the Yin Tiger Tally? Let's talk about that instead.
Wei Ying: These bitches think I'm that stupid?????
Wei Ying: You wanna change subjects? Ok. Now that the Wen Clan is gone, do you think it's your right to replace them? I see through your shit.
Jin Guangshan: *sweating*
--
Also can we talk about the AURA he has. He literally just grabs Chenqing and everyone is absolutely TERRIFIED
As they should be.
And then the countdown?!?
The head turn on "Er." (two)
No right to be that hot Xiao Zhan. No right.
--
Wei Ying's walk away a small glance at Lan Zhan. He knows that everything is about to change, that he's pretty much walking away from everything
But he also knows that he has to because it's the right thing, to rescue Wen Ning and the others of their family
Wei Wuxian you beautiful soul
(i know he's a bit more morally gray in the books, but i stand by what i said for him too)
--
Watching Wen Ning, who has literally never done anything wrong ever in his life, get stabbed?
Cruel. Horrific. I'm being stabbed.
--
Jin Guangyao: Wei-gongzi was being reckless. How could he say such things in front of so many people?
Lan Zhan: Was he wrong?
Me:
--
UGH GRANDMA WEN AND A-YUAN!!!! Alone in the rain. Again. Cruel and horrific.
And Wen Qing's desperation as she looks for Wen Ning, only to find him stabbed, lying among a field a corpses
--
OH NOOOOO I FORGOT WEN NING WAS STILL HOLDING THE PROTECTION POUCH/AMULET
--
Jin Clan Guards: Let's go kill the others so no one else knows what we did here
And people wonder why I say Wei Ying has never done a wrong thing in his life?
Oh and the way Wei Ying IMMEDIATELY picks up on their word play of "No one here would dare to kill people"
"Oh I see, that's because the Wens aren't people, right?"
