Despite the enormous affection I feel for the Untamed, I always struggled to think of a painting idea for it. The big, giant, lush, complex world would seem to offer so much to draw from, but it maybe only paralyzed me. And in the opulent abundance of art surrounding the story, so often in the style of classical Chinese paintings, I didn’t think my style would fit in… But when my sister sprang it on me recently she’d started watching, the u-turn I pulled broke the sound barrier. Rewatching, my feelings finally came together into this <3
one thing (and one of my favourite things) i saw a lot when i was on exchange was t-shirts with absolute gibberish or just keyboard smashes on them being sold as if there’s some very deep english quote on them,,, i just think that wwx wearing them and jc (who was sent on exchange to the us or uk when he was a child to learn english) tells him they mean something super cool or deep just to make him look like a fool
lwj probably thinks wwx does it on purpose because wwx is smart right? he knows wwx has been abroad often (to visit jc), he must know. one day lwj buys him a shirt with complete gibberish on it and wwx goes “aw lan zhan this one is so cool! what does it say?” maybe lwj’s faith in humanity leaves him on the spot, maybe he makes something up because he thinks wwx is making a joke
galaxy brain @bi-disaster-wei-wuxian said what if lwj tries to flirt with wwx in english through the shirts he gives him and thinks wwx doesn’t reciprocate because he never really reacts
won’t be writing over the week because workload, so i thought i’d crank two out in one day:
@venusdebotticelliasked:On this note, if Wwx does come back in her own body rather than as a trans woman in Mxy’s, that means there’s the potential for more babies in their future post-canon.
Answer: MXY or not, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are not having anymore babies. Sorrah. :P
One of the first things Wei Wuxian promised Lan Wangji this second time around was children. Lots of children.
“The situation with Yan'er is my fault; I didn’t trust you back then, and hid it from you for so long. Er-gege, as soon as we’re married, don’t you worry, I’ll give you a whole litter! As many as you want!”
Wei Wuxian’s promise touched Lan Wangji’s heart, but it did not quiet the worry in his mind. The worry lingered, echoing in his subconscious, always in the voice of Jiang Wanyin, shouting his long-awaited abuse that night at the temple, amidst the storm.
