You know what I’m actually not done ranting bc the danmei fandoms on tiktok keep driving me fucking nuts. This rant’s topic is the godawful ”lan wangji would burn the world for wei wuxian” type edits i see on tiktok and i want to scream and bite everytime i see one and not for a good reason. Like did you miss the part of the book where when wwx died lwj took all that love and grief that he had for him and used it to actually better the world? He loved wwx so much that he not only raised the son wwx left behind but also became a teacher and a role model for the other juniors across clans so that he could teach them the values wwx taught him and the values the world lacked and that caused wwx to be driven to death essentially. He wanted the next generation (of lans especially) to not blindly believe in authority figures, to not believe rumors and to question things and think for themselves so that no one would have to be scorned for protecting ppl like wwx was. Lwj loved wwx so much that he gained a reputation for ”being where the chaos is” bc he wanted to help the less fortunate like wwx wanted to, knowing that the big clans often only help richer ppl who can pay for their services.
If lwj wanted to burn the world don’t you think he would’ve done it when wwx actually did die in the story? But see how he didn’t do that? Instead he used the love he had for wwx to transform the world into a better place, bc it was a world wwx loved and a world he arguably died defending. Wwx loved the world & the ppl in it sm that he died standing up for what he knew was right and not budging even when he was pushed to his utter limits. Knowing all of that, do you think lwj could burn down the world? Do you think wwx would want him to? No i didn’t think so.
Also also ppl have got to stop saying that lwj ”waited” for wwx and erasing the actual tragedy of their story which is that wwx wasn’t just gone, he died. He died and he wasn’t coming back and lwj knew that. He didn’t look for him for all of those years (idk where that idea came from) nor was he waiting around for wwx to come back. It was sheer dumb luck and some amount of evil scheming that brought wwx back but let’s not kid ourselves when we say there were a lot of moving pieces in that plan and absolutely 0 guarantee that wwx would succesfully come back to life.
They seem like very good friends
maybe I’m giving them too much credit but sometimes CRK’s socials make me wonder if their admins actually give a shit about the games outside of their jobs as PR management. Like if you showed me this out of context I’d definitely believe it came from an actual fan rather than the official account. At the very least the admins care enough to put in more effort than the average promo account and honestly? Respect. It must take them a lot of willpower to keep up with our bs

My favourite part about being in the SVSSS community is that since we’re not really popular we can just ship whoever we want with whoever and no one bats an eye. There’s no ship wars or anything. I love it here
This.
Maui is a powerful demigod. Big and strong and… oh, you think he looks fat?
That’s probably because you’ve been conditioned by the media to accept this
as what strong and fit looks like. Amiright?
Sadly… these guys are not all that strong. Yeah, they got muscles… but they aren’t built in a useful way. They are built for looks and that’s about it.
This…
is a strong guy. Actually a competitor in the Strongman competition. But… his tummy sticks out and he doesn’t look like a Dorito.
You know who else is strong?
These guys…
And Maui…
Look at those arms, omg. And that solid, sturdy torso. You can see a shadow where his meat covers his ribs, but he doesn’t look like any slouch to me.
And this guy…
That’s Dwayne Johnson’s grandfather. When the Disney animators showed him their sketches of Maui, he pulled out a picture of his grandfather and showed it to them because he was amazed how similar they looked. This dude was also a pro wrestler.
There’s actually a great infographic about ab muscles and stuff over HERE. but this is the part i want to show you.
Now… look at Maui again.
That thickness don’t move like fat. It doesn’t jiggle and he’s able to flex it. Look at how it sits on his body. It doesn’t sag… he doesn’t have a gut. There’s even a slight V shape to his torso.
It’s just big and not ‘defined’.
And people aren’t used to that.
(sorry, this isn’t the most organized post… i kinda just let it all spill out)
