Cher & Thoop: "Though they arenāt technically related, they consider each other to be brothers, particularly after the loss of Thupās older sister and Cherāa best friend/first love. Though they arenāt always on the best terms, they do eventually come to an understanding, and Cher always does his absolute best to take care of Thup no matter the personal cost to him, being his only source of support a lot of the time. I just love the concept of two characters who decide to choose each other and make each other their family in a time of great loss, especially considering how shitty Thupās biological family is in the show. Also, the emphasis Cher puts on the fact that he doesnāt love Thup solely because of the connection with his sister, but he loves him for HIM, as his own person, is very important to me."
Jiang Yanli & Wei Wuxian & Jiang Cheng: "I find it really hard to talk about them without going on a rant and crying. Yanli is the best big sister ever. She always puts her brothers first without fail and her care for them is the glue they need when they argue. Even though Wei Wuxian is not their biological sibling, trust and believe Yanli will shut down anyone who tries to minimize their relationship or claim Wei Wuxian isnāt her brother. In return, Wei Wuxian is fiercely protective of Yanli and will literally kill anyone who touches her. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian both love her to absolute bits. The relationship between Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian is more complicated, but contains no less love. Ripped apart by circumstances out of their control on top of being constantly compared to each other growing up, they still have each otherās backs and canonically would die for each other and prove this multiple times.
