I Feel Like One Of The Subtler Bits Of Wei Wuxian’s Characterisation That Is Sometimes Slightly Skewed

i feel like one of the subtler bits of wei wuxian’s characterisation that is sometimes slightly skewed is that he is actually not the jump-into-the-heat-of-battle kinda guy, rather he’s one to hang back and observe before making a very clear and decisive move. look at the xuanwu cave predicament—wei wuxian did not immediately oppose wen chao, instead he stayed put as things escalated and once he realised how futile the situation was, he enacted a plan that was neither impulsive nor self-serving, but one that was optimal to benefit the most amount of people possible. similarly, he wasn’t pushed or blinded by his anger when wang lingjao came to lotus pier. even then, at the cost of himself (which imo, was much more calculated than people give him credit for but i digress), he chose de-escalation. same goes for the appeal he made to jin guangshan about the labor camps and same goes for every single instance of wei wuxian working his nighthunting and info-gathering knowledge to use before even approaching a danger-zone/haunt.

yes, wei wuxian is incredibly powerful and is formidable in battle but he’s not some violence-loving, battle-smug individual who would try to jump into the thick of things to flaunt his fighting prowess. the moments that people refer to as wei wuxian jumping the gun—the nightless city massacre, the ambush fight, opposing wen chao—are, infact, proof of how the battle is thrust to wei wuxian instead of wei wuxian thrusting himself into a battle. i would say that maybe the only example of wei wuxian getting heated into action is when he punched jin zixuan and even jin zixuan would agree to deserving those fists. i guess the reason i bring this up is because this sort of undermines another characteristic of wei wuxian which is his impeccable emotional regulation. if he was angered by every unjust circumstance and lost his wits about him as some of the popular fanon believes, wei wuxian would’ve never gotten as far as he did. it was because of his keen sense of seeing the truth in people and situations and then adjusting his own responses that helped him save himself and the wens for as long as he did and later stand tall before the cultivation world and show them the flaws in their mob logic. he’s not an emotionless man carefully tailoring his personality to suit his needs but he’s also not a emotionally volatile person pouncing at every opportunity to talk with fists instead of words. he’s as good at verbal sparring as he is at the physical counterpart of it and it’s always a bummer when his intellectual battles are reduced in favour of portraying him a certain, canonically divergent way.

I love re reading the first Hualian meeting bc HC is probably 1. Fangirling so hard 2. Going over his very meticulous plan of what to do and say when he met XL. Like you know that one part in Spy x Fanily where fluffy head boy goes on a date and asks Loid for help and he makes him ENDLESS pages of what to say and responses? That’s what I’m sure HC (Yin Yu) did for this.

I Love Re Reading The First Hualian Meeting Bc HC Is Probably 1. Fangirling So Hard 2. Going Over His

AND HES TRYING SO HARD ADHSHSHA

“Gege I didn’t know you had superpowers!” 😱🤩

He’s trying so hard to be a normal boy 😭

I Love Re Reading The First Hualian Meeting Bc HC Is Probably 1. Fangirling So Hard 2. Going Over His

“Gege Im so scared! Pls protect me😖😖”

SIR YOU ARE A GHOST KING HELLO?!

I Love Re Reading The First Hualian Meeting Bc HC Is Probably 1. Fangirling So Hard 2. Going Over His

And him saying XL scared the ghost away after he gave them A GLARE (keep in mind he’s very scared for real he’s just a silly little boy)

I Love Re Reading The First Hualian Meeting Bc HC Is Probably 1. Fangirling So Hard 2. Going Over His

AND THE LAUGH. He looks smooth outside but inside he’s probably like “omg gege called me San Lang I can die again happy now holy crap he’s so pretty and he called me San Lang we’re going to get married in a beautiful garden and have 8 kids and-”

(No but really it’s so cute how he immediately laughs bc he is SO happy, like SO HAPPY that he’s finally with XL and he called him smth only wives call their husbands aaaa my BABY)

I Love Re Reading The First Hualian Meeting Bc HC Is Probably 1. Fangirling So Hard 2. Going Over His

AND HOW HE SAYS HE WILL SLEEP IN THE STREETS 😭😭

“Yes I am just a sad little twink that ran away OH how I WISH a very handsome cultivator pls let me stay with him on this SCARY night im just a defenseless poor twink pls”

AND HE SAYS A CAVE THIS DRAMATIC ASS MAN I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AHDHDHSB

I Love Re Reading The First Hualian Meeting Bc HC Is Probably 1. Fangirling So Hard 2. Going Over His

And the immediate:

HC: hmm where will we sleep?

XL: I have only one bed so if you don’t mind we-

HC: YES

Like I love how we all think he’s this smooth guy 24/7 but no. He’s pathetic. He’s a fan boy. He’s so in love his brain cells all die. He probably tried outfits for an hour and tried his best to come up with what to say before he met XL again. He made sure everything was PERFECT. He’s trying so hard not to scream and fanboy over XL rn. In fact hes trying his best not to get on one knee and propose.

HES SUCH A BABY GIRL I LOVE HIM 😭😭😭😭

Xie Lian would have one of those ‘making my husbands lunch/dinner’ channels and the comments would be full of people unsure of he’s genuinely that bad of a cook or is slowly trying to kill his husband.

congratulations on joining the YOI fandom 7 yrs late! thankfully, you haven’t missed much in the past few years, haha… haha.. ha.. :,(

Guess the lack of a second season and movie had 1 (one) advantage 😞 Oh well, gotta have to roll up my sleeves and give the fans the food they deserve. In all seriousness thank you so much! 🥺 I actually watched YOI for the first time like four years ago but I didn't get properly obssessed with it and join the fandom until last month, and I already feel so at home! Have some chibi boyfriends ❄️💙

Congratulations On Joining The YOI Fandom 7 Yrs Late! Thankfully, You Haven’t Missed Much In The Past

"Let me see you (how I want to be seen)", also known in my WIPs as "Dancer Xie Lian" or "E-Ming's wish", is a Tian Guan Ci Fu fanfic I started writing eons ago and that is finally here with:

Hualian post-canon domestic tooth-rotting fluff.

E-Ming loving hours in which Ruoye gets love too.

Hua Cheng being a headache while having a headache.

Dance!

Summary: When Xie Lian woke up, two things were unexpectedly the same as how they were hundreds of years ago: he spontaneously got in the mood to dance —something that he didn’t remember happening since his first banishment— and Hua Cheng decided to hide his face.

Thanks a lot to Massie for beta-reading~

Look me in the eyes and tell me alcohol wouldn't make Victor say literally anything. (No Yuuris were harmed in the shattering of that glass).

Also if you're wondering where Victor's glass went... a wizard did it 🤡
