NIE HUAISANG, drunk at a multi-clan conference: I’m giving everyone code names. From now on, I’m Eagle One. Wei Wuxian, code name “Been There Done That.”
WEI WUXIAN:
NIE HUAISANG: Jin Guangyao is “Currently Doing That.”
JIN GUANGYAO:
NIE HUAISANG: Jiang Cheng is “It Happened Once in a Dream.”
JIANG CHENG:
NIE HUAISANG: Lan Xichen, code name, “If I Had to Pick a Lan Dude.”
I love that Jin Guangyao has Lan Xichen, Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling hostage, but he immediately hit pause and teamed up with his bro Xichen to force Wei Ying to spill that Wangxian tea. That whole scene was basically this:
WWX: Me and Lan Zhan split up
LXC: What? But weren’t you injured and Wangji was always staying by your side!
WWX: Well I went out of my room in secret and Lan Zhan is sleeping in his
JGY: YOU HAD SEPARATE ROOMS?!
LXC: OMG WHY!? Spill the tea bitch!
JGY: Tsk tsk tsk poor Hanguang-Jum
LXC: Tell me about it bestie. 20 years of this shit
This scene came up and he said “Oh, I love the party dynamic because it’s just:
The guy on the far left who knows what he’s doing (Wangji)
The guy next to him that acts like he doesn’t know what he’s doing but does (Wei)
The guy next to him that acts like he knows what he’s doing but doesn’t (Jiang Cheng)
And the guy on the right who just doesn’t (Nie)”
He understands it so well and I’m shook
P.s peep Wangji trying to look focused and professional while standing so close to Wei *serious face activated don’t think about how cute he is keep it together Wangji*
Nie Huaisang: I just love how angry people get when you call gender a social construct. Like, everything is a social construct. Go ask a snake what the day of the week is, they don’t know!
Jin Guangyao, visibly playing along: I really don’t.
Wei Wuxian: lads is it gay to stare at your drunk sleeping friend’s face and admire how handsome he is after spending much of your past days after coming back to life with him
