summary:

“What about you, Eren?” He jerked a little in his seat, suddenly brought back out of his head to the situation at hand. “Huh?” “What about you? We’ve been talking non-stop about ourselves, and this is your first time. You must have a lot pent up. Feel free to vent!” Petra smiled at him encouragingly. Eren opened and closed his mouth like a fish, trying to find anything to complain about. Looking around at all the expectant faces around him, he bit back his initial impulse to say ‘Oh, there’s nothing at all, I’m very happy actually!’ He felt surrounded and those nice, smiling faces began to look increasingly sinister in his eyes. He got the impression that saying positive things about his partner to this particular crowd in this specific situation may not be the best idea. “Umm…” he stammered, eyes jumping from side to side looking for inspiration. When his gaze fell on the teeth marks on his straw, he blurted out, “He kisses me too roughly?!” or: eren accepts a girls-only night out invitation from his coworkers to talk about their partners with the assumption that 'talking about' means 'gushing mushily'... he was very much mistaken. and then he suffers for it.

I feel like there is something very sentimental in the way that Wei Wuxian doesn't have anything material kept of his loved ones that he had lost during his life, aside from the tree that he associated with Jiang Yanli. And he keeps that closest to his heart as the most significant point of kindness he ever received and her not looking for him out of any sense of duty herself or for anyone else's sake.

She endeared herself to him out of her own kindness, which is what he idolizes in other people. Very few people in his life willingly reach to stand with or fall with him. The only other one that had was Lan Wangji who is framed in that same instance of the tree rendition where Jiang Yanli once had stood.

He doesn't tell anyone about this, even Lan Wangji, what had transpired when he was a child with Jiang Yanli, but I think it speaks all on its own how he associates those two specifically with safety to finally be as he is without apology or further expectations to be more or less than what he is and be loved for that.

Omg you know what this just made me think of? For all of the ways Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng are juxtaposed in that Wei Wuxian’s relationship with the former grows as his relationship with the latter shatters completely, I think an under-examined comparison between how Wei Wuxian’s first life transitions into his second is that Lan Wangji metaphorically inherits Jiang Yanli’s torch of being Wei Wuxian’s defender and safe harbor. Lan Wangji isn’t Jiang Cheng’s narrative successor; he’s Jiang Yanli’s.

The Jiang siblings very much juxtapose Lan Wangji's own role! Jiang Yanli is the positive where Jiang Cheng is the negative. Emotionally Jiang Yanli carries all that Wei Wuxian adores in others and eventually his trust completely in Lan Wangji as he once did with Jiang Yanli. Jiang Cheng is the negative action that he misattributed to Lan Wangji.

And I very much love how this is all compounded into Wei Wuxian finding what he needed and wanted in terms of Lan Wangji.

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life. 

I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
