lan wangji's arc rlly is so lovely☹️☹️☹️ i think the most beautiful thing you can possibly do in your grief for someone else is to correct where you failed them and improve the world in their image and thats what he did. he raised lan sizhui as an extension of what wei wuxian built in the burial mounds he earns the trust and affections of the juniors through his actions and then in wei wuxian's second life he is steadfast in his devotion to him against the rest of the cultivation world which is where he failed him before. in wei wuxian's first life, all of lan wangji's attempts to protect him are in spite of wei wuxian's own agency — he wants to bring wei wuxian back to gusu to save him from himself and though he defends him to the other clans he doesn't condemn their ongoing persecution of wei wuxian and the wen refugees in any meaningful way even after visiting the burial mounds himself — like he literally asks for lan wangji to provide a path where he can protect those he cares for and still participate in his world but he cant because he knows that the two r fundamentally incompatible and still leaves wei wuxian and returns to those oppressive structures anyway. and yes of course in part during his second life lan wangji has missed him and loves him and therefore genuinely wants his company and to protect him but also the experience of having known and loved and failed wei wuxian in his first life has clearly changed him soooo radically even without the allure of personal gain

this is so sad he picked the worlds most independent omega to want to atticwife ☹️☹️

With such a rhetorical question, Lan WangJi was surprisingly at a lost for words. He glared at him for a long while before he turned to Wen Yuan. Due to his stare, Wen Yuan started shaking again. A moment later, Lan WangJi asked Wen Yuan, “Which one… do you want?” Wen Yuan hadn’t understood what was going on yet. Lan WangJi pointed at the things in the vendor’s baskets, “Of the things here, which one do you want?” Wen Yuan stared at him in terror. He didn’t even dare let out a single breath. An hour later, Wen Yuan finally stopped crying. He kept on feeling his pockets, stuffed full of the playthings that Lan WangJi bought for him. Seeing that his tears finally stopped, Lan WangJi seemed to be relieved. Yet, with a blushing face, Wen Yuan snuck over quietly and wrapped his arms around his leg. Looking down, Lan WangJi saw the extra object on his leg, “…” Wei WuXian laughed madly, “Hahahahaha! Lan Zhan, congratulations! He’s taken a liking to you! He hugs the leg of whoever he likes, and he never lets go.”
