“You caught me.” “Yeah. I caught you.”

Endless pretty.

@everyone thinking lan wangji is a super strict teacher to the juniors: remember that one scene where a whole gang of kids are sobbing and burning shit in front of this man’s house and lan zhan 100% knew someone lived there but when wwx asked him to make them stop he was like “nah you do it”??? And wwx ended up being the one to yell at them? Or when jingyi literally brawled with the heir of lanling jin before yelling at a sect leader?? And LWJ did absolutely nothing about it? Yeah this man grew up to be a pushover

#HES JUST VERY INDULGENT OF CHILDISH ANTICS AS SOMEONE WHO WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO PARTAKE IN THEM#and as the results his kids r all open minded and unrestrained and love him very very much :’)(via@mxystan) absolutely 😂

#lwj is a GOOD dad #but also a total pushover #jc yells a lot but ultimately jin ling does and gets whatever he wants #somehow wwx winds up being the one who’s like GOOD THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR ACTIONS OR HOW WILL YOU LEARN #which i think really does speak to their experiences growing up #lan wangji wants the kids to feel loved and safe expressing themselves #jc wants jin ling to know he’ll always have jis back and no one has the right to hurt him #and also that he is NOT ALLOWED to die #wwx wants children to experience consequences for dumbassery in a safe and controlled environment (@winepresswrath)

#the fact that you can literally see Wei Wuxian struggling to re-learn how to be an older version of himself in this scene #causes me physical pain #he’s not himself and it’s so obvious #but from this moment forth he’s going to be starring in the role of ‘the Wei Wuxian everyone remembers’ #at the cost and exhaustion of the Wei Wuxian he is now #god when will I stop having feelings about the Burial Mounds (tags from @hunxi-guilai )

#honestly this scene murders me #jiang cheng out there using his words #to say things like #i’m worried about you #you seem sad #is it your stupid boyfriend you shouldn’t fight with him if it makes you sad #genuinely willing to be supportive of the wangxian agenda if it will cheer his brother up #and he persists! #wwx has to blow him off like three different ways before he gives up #and makes a face like #well that was just as terrible as i always assumed emotional honesty and genuine attempts to communicate #without five layers of protective angry bullshit would be #i will be repeating this experiment never (via @winepresswrath)
