Lowk it's a teensy but funny and heartbreaking to imagine lan wangji buying emperors smile just to remember wei wuxian

These children do not deserve this

i’m sure it’s not world ending for him but still

I made a Wangxian background for my phone and thought i’d share it here in case anybody else wants to use it too! I hope the Chinese characters are accurate, i got them from a Reddit post (it says the same thing the English does)...

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were the same age, but our main character died at about the age of 22. All. End. I know the theory that she was actually hanging out there is very appealing, but death literally doesn't work that way. Wuxian died, that's a fact, and it's also a fact that he doesn't remember anything.

He was frozen at the age when he died.

And now, having risen from the dead, he is still 22 mentally, and Lan Zhang (and Jiang Chen) are 35-36 years old.

Oh, you know, marriage between 22 and 35 looks as dubious as possible…

I would prefer, instead of a toxic relationship with a terrible age difference, tied to feelings of guilt (well, who else would blame me, it's worth appreciating that the beautiful Doe had mercy and tolerates me) with a man whose psyche is clearly not the healthiest (Wangji was literally obsessed with a man with whom he had known for a maximum of thirteen years) since he is undoubtedly putting under himself a man who rose from the dead just yesterday!

From the next chapter of “the thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break.”

After, they lounge together, their robes rumpled, glad to snuggle in the afterglow. Soon enough, the day will intrude on their time together, and Lan Wangji would need to see his brother off. They all had duties to attend to. But for now they simply had each other, the dim candlelight flickering against their skin, their movements lazy in the haze.
