Welcome

You know what I’m actually not done ranting bc the danmei fandoms on tiktok keep driving me fucking nuts. This rant’s topic is the godawful ”lan wangji would burn the world for wei wuxian” type edits i see on tiktok and i want to scream and bite everytime i see one and not for a good reason. Like did you miss the part of the book where when wwx died lwj took all that love and grief that he had for him and used it to actually better the world? He loved wwx so much that he not only raised the son wwx left behind but also became a teacher and a role model for the other juniors across clans so that he could teach them the values wwx taught him and the values the world lacked and that caused wwx to be driven to death essentially. He wanted the next generation (of lans especially) to not blindly believe in authority figures, to not believe rumors and to question things and think for themselves so that no one would have to be scorned for protecting ppl like wwx was. Lwj loved wwx so much that he gained a reputation for ”being where the chaos is” bc he wanted to help the less fortunate like wwx wanted to, knowing that the big clans often only help richer ppl who can pay for their services.

The way this EXACT thing happened with Wade and Logan in the movie...
