Oh how much have things changed

That is the problem.

Coming from a culture that also uses different words depending who the uncle is connected with, and a mostly patriarchal society, it makes so much sense that Wei Wuxian laughed when Jin Ling asked, "Jiujiu? Why jiujiu and not your dad? Who's your jiujiu?" Seeing it through my cultural background goggles, why would a kid's first thought be to involve the maternal uncle in such a petty incident?? You're literally bringing in a person who's likely from a completely different place (sect) than you are. There's also the implied, "is your father/kin so useless you have to involve people from your mother's side?"

Feeling emotional about WWX and Jin Ling

The leaves rustled and the gentian flowers swished alongside the wind, their scent lingering. Wei Wuxian’s eyes landed on the wooden hallway of the cottage. He could almost see a small child wearing a forehead ribbon sitting in proper posture in front of the house, waiting quietly for the door to open. ↳ @mdzsnet | lan wangji bday event (✿ ˘_˘ )
