Wei Wuxian-

He’s treating it like a challenge to be as chaotic as possible. He’s cackling, with imaginary horns on his head as he assembles the most over the top outfit. He doesn’t have vip but he can easily hack into it and yet he dressed up as a homeless woman with a child and stood outside VIP until someone (lwj) gifted it to him. He’s dressing up as a ghost when the theme is ‘family reunion’ Now the whole chat is awkward but he’s laughing. He would thrive on being the player who makes the whole lobby laugh or groan. He’s the reason why the hotdog costume is getting removed.

Jiang Cheng-

He’s here to win, even if it’s a causal game. He’s keeping track of how many stars people are voting and calling them out for unfair voting. If he saw wwx get a higher score for his outfit, he would absolutely blow up and mutter that “kids just don’t appreciate real fashion anymore” If the theme was “underwater” he wouldn’t just settle for a snorkel or a mermaid tail, no, he’s going all out, with a sea monster look. He’s the type of person that non-vips hate to see walking out of the vip zone.

Jin Guangyao-

Strategic as ever, he would make friends with the other players, complementing their looks and quietly encouraging them to vote for him. He’s planning his outfits to perfection. He has three screen set up in front of him, one with Pinterest for reference and other with his other dti account, that he’s using to vote himself 5 stars. He’s playing the underdog, pretending to be less confident, saying things like “oh, I’m not sure if it’s good enough” or he’d say “I joined late :(” His outfits? Still flawless.

Hehe! I’m glad you liked it. You are so kind. I really love this fic but I swear it was fighting me so hard 🥲(I think it was largely in part to work being insane and it killing the vibes 😔) Sorry for the bit of a rant below but I loved hearing your thoughts on the chapter ❤️

I’m fully convinced Suguru would have gotten more piercings as he got older. He had gauges by seventeen that’s pretty intense especially in a society like Japan! I think he would have tattoos as well even if they were just under his robes. (Also alt boys are so fucking hot. It took all my strength not to put him in a corset…next time maybe).

I love Nanami, he’s so observant and I think if he was dating a non-sorcerer woman he would be SUPER vigilant to any potential dangers since she can’t really protect herself. At least not in the way he can.

Gojo my sweet pookie pie. Since this fic takes place two years after Geto’s defect I feel like he still has some of his younger outbursts and wears his emotions on his sleeve more. I can’t imagine a life more exhausting than literally everyone constantly relying on you.

Found proof that Jin Zixuan put on a false moustache once and sneaked into Lotus Pier dressed up as a Jiang disciple to go see Jiang Yanli

He is the classified Cool Uncle who makes things explode. 

If you think he got the title ‘Untamed Alchemist’ because of his brilliance with wild alchemy, then you’re mistaken. The Jins are to blame, Wei Wuxian just hijacked the nickname because it sounded awesome. Jiang Cheng figuratively rolled his eyes into the next century.

Wei Wuxian comes to certain Realisations™ when he sees Lan Wangji cradling a confused (and nearly dog-ified) Sizhui to his chest, then promptly goes nope because absolutely not!! He has things to do!! A brother to fix!! Lan Wangji is just a childhood friend what are you talking about hahahaha....

~

Wei Wuxian knows Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen have some kind of bet going.

Wei Wuxian, for the life of him, cannot figure out what it’s for.

~

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng know, distantly, that they’re not actually blood brothers, however they were too young to remember anything before their lives came together. All they understand is that Jiang Fengmian brought Wei Wuxian home one day with no other explanation than, “his parents are dead.” and his wife always resented that.

Jiang Yanli often herded the boys away when their parents began arguing. As kids they didn’t fully follow what they were fighting about, but it is something that lingers, if only in the background. They have a lot of confused memories and feelings about their early years.

~

Wei Wuxian has an unhealthy obsession with ignoring the fact that he suffered as well as a result of the botched transmutation. 

He often jokes about his automail and lets it fall apart to cover for trauma of not only losing a leg, but then willingly giving up his arm in exchange for Jiang Cheng’s soul. 

Getting him to talk about it in any capacity outside of “haha, it broke again! Sorry Lan Zhan!” is a literal nightmare, and while Jiang Cheng sees it and hates it, he is also the worst person to try and broach the topic with, because it can instantly be thrown back at him with, “You suffered worse than me! I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Did you want to die, Jiang Cheng? Don’t even suggest that!”

~

On a lighter note, this exchange has definitely happened:

Wei Wuxian: Jiang Cheng, use your head! *Proceeds to lob Jiang Cheng’s helmet over a very high wall*

Jiang Cheng, who’s connected to the breastplate and not the helmet: ...fuck you.

~

Relating to that, Wei Wuxian and Wei Wuxian alone is allowed to use Jiang Cheng’s armour like this, and as the certified Older Brother (”It’s only by a few months, Wei Wuxian, shut up.”), he’s very protective of that fact.

Most people think it’s because he’s hyper aware that one wrong move could scrub off the blood seal keeping Jiang Cheng’s soul tied to the armour (which, yeah, is kinda true), but it’s mostly because they realised, in those horrible first few months when they were coming to terms with their new reality, that Jiang Cheng can’t fight and squabble to get bits of his armour back.

He can’t feel. And because of that he can’t tell how much pressure he puts into things. And while normally he’s trained himself to be as gentle as he can, he also has a temper, and when it flares he can lose control and actually hurt someone. 

So if a random stranger comes along and nicks the helmet as a laugh, Wei Wuxian steps in while Jiang Cheng keeps himself to yelling, so they don’t accidentally cave some asshole’s face in.

Doesn’t stop Wei Wuxian dishing out black eyes, though.

~

Jin Ling is the exception to this, because he’s grown up with Jiang Cheng and understand the limits to his uncle’s patience, and later Lan Sizhui is tentatively allowed to hold the helmet as well. 

The other Lans are allowed but only to make sure the armour is still in good shape and under careful supervision. Wei Wuxian has a very good ‘I’m watching you and if you fuck this up you’re dead’ glare.

Wei Wuxian, at 1am, very drunk: Jiang Cheng?

Jiang Cheng: Yeah?

Wei Wuxian: What would you have done if I’d put you in a teapot?

Jiang Cheng: Go the fuck to sleep.
