He's exhaustingly hyper active. He bullies people at school and gets them in trouble just for funsies. He breaks rules just because. He sasses back and disrupts classes and conferences. He murders people and then sends their corpses back to murder their families. He shows off. He's oblivious to the others and when/how he hurts them. He gets everyone awesome killed.

Honestly, if people hate WWX so much why the actual @#?$ are they even bothering to be part of the fandom or read the novel in the first place?!

I try to be as open minded and respectful of everyone's opinions - but this is a little insane! I know there are a lot of people out there who argue that WWX is a little morally grey. MXTX didn't intend for us to read him like this, he was meant to be the hero, the moral compass that everyone else should follow. WWX and LWJ are meant to be the moral ideals. He is a hero ❤️

But I digress.

Firstly, he's not exhaustingly hyperactive. He can be calm and steady when he needs to be. But even so, his energy is infectious and endearing. I don't usually bother with this stuff, but because you asked so nicely, I will hand your ass to you on a plate answer your question.

You are calling WWX a bully because of the way he treated 'people' - who?! Unless you are referring to LWJ...Which wasn't bullying - it was teasing, because, and this might shock you.. but, he FANCIED him!!! Subconsciously, yes, I know. But he was acting like a lot of silly boys do with their crush. He just wanted his attention, and when he didn't get it - he teased, because getting a reaction out of him was at least something. It was harmless teasing. WWX would not bully anyone, he's empathetic and sweet natured. If he thought he'd actually upset LWJ, he'd stop. Oh, and apparently he only gets people in trouble for 'funsies'... If you're refering to when LWJ got disciplined as well, that was his choice, WWX didn't expect him to actually do it! It's a pivotal point in their relationship!!! Firstly, as soon as he realised that LWJ was about to punish himself as well, he tried to stop it all and take the full punishment himself. He was horrified LWJ was about to be hit also. After this, when he saw him in the cold springs he couldn't help but gush over how much he admired him. Because, WWX has always taken the punishment himself. It's always just been just him and he's always thought it was unfair. It's a poignant moment.

'He sasses back and disrupts classes and conferences.' Lmao! Sorry I had to take a moment. Alright, nerd! 🤣 Sorry, lost my composure there... But seriously, he didn't sass back, he was making a valid point. He goes on to use this later in the book. LQR picked on him. Besides, what's wrong with a bit of sass! He is sassy! So what! As you're about to find out for yourself, so am I!

The conference...He only disrupted a conference because he wanted to know where the Wen refugees were. Sorry you think that the lives of innocent people should wait till the end of the conference...

'He murders people' - okay... Well he did, but it was revenge. His whole entire sect was brutally annihilated. He was left to DIE in the burial mounds, a period in his life so awful the author refused to write about it because it would be too depressing. There are a lot of hints throughout the novel that it was mentally and physically torturing for WWX. He was there three months. Three whole months of absolutely god knows what. Fighting for his life, fighting to control the awful things that resided there and fighting to become more powerful - all while recovering from having his golden core ripped out of him not long before. So excuse him if he's a little bit peed off. Excuse him if he kills the absolute psychopaths that caused the whole thing. He lost control and killed people, yes, but this was in self-defence and he was pushed so much he couldn't control his emotions or the corpses. Sorry he was so traumatised he couldn't keep control...

'He shows off' - I think someone is jealous 😂 He's confident in his abilities, he's worked hard to get where he is. If you're referring to the time he took one third of the prey from the competition on Phoenix Mountain, he only did this because he can't stand JZX and his showing off. He wanted to bring him down a peg or two. And he did, in the most epically understated, yet cool way. He's protective of his shijie and still holds a grudge for JZX's rude behaviour back at the CR.

'He's oblivious to others and when/how he hurts them.' - He's the most empathetic, caring person in the novel, as I said earlier. Yes, there are misunderstandings - that's another major point of the novel - but he never intentionally hurts others. He isn't aware of LWJ's true feelings, due to so many different factors I'm not even going to explain. He is always trying to make others happy and respect their feelings. He even tries to get on with JZX for his shijie in the end. If he's ever hurt anyone, it was due to lack of communication from both parties. And the minute he realises he's hurt someone, he always tries to clear it up.

'He gets everyone awesome killed' - .... Who? You mean the mass murderers, the psychopaths and the general villains of the story? If you mean his own Sect, that wasn't his fault and this would have happened regardless. It was only a matter of time before the Wen Sect came and annoyed them either way.

Honestly, who the f wrote this - sounds like LQR, XY, JZX and JGY sat down and composed this 😂

The food murderer

This took 2 horrific hours so this better not flop

Ideally, this spell should be begun on a new moon.

Take a salt and pepper shaker, or any two objects that make an obvious pair, like a set of bookends or a pair of shoes.

Pick one object to represent you and one to represent your dream lover. Take a red (passion) or pink (romance) ribbon and tie them together, leaving a good length in between.
