obsessed with golden core scene

a little bit of hope, maybe

what if wwx sang instead of whistled?

it’s just a thought i had while browsing tiktok (don’t judge me) and watching a woman sing a hauntingly beautiful song in a staircase with beautiful echoes - what if wwx sang instead of using a flute or whistling?

just imagine you’re some random wen guarding a watchtower and you suddenly hear quiet, soothing singing - and then you hear screaming, and see corpses, and die a painful death. imagine jc and lwj watching wwx sing wen chao to death; maybe sitting somewhere, or leaning against the wall, or standing almost uncomfortably close to him, and singing a haunting little song as he’s tortured.

imagine being on the battlefield, fighting to stay alive, and coming across wwx, singing calmly while surrounded by bodies.

imagine what it’d take to take this peculiar cultivation away this time - to silence him.

wwx so spooky awoooo 👻

I keep thinking about this moment. About how Jiang Cheng must’ve felt when Zidian - the weapon that had served him for so many years, the weapon he inherited after his mother - suddenly stopped listening to him. The moment when he no longer felt its power.

His expression here just breaks my heart. The way he looks at Zidian, trying to understand what happened, trying to process this emptiness that he suddenly feels.

Because back then, Jiang Cheng doesn’t know yet that others also have been affected. He can as well be the only one - what he does know though is this feeling. This lack of power, the sudden emptiness, he knows it. Because he’d experienced it before. He’d felt what is it like when your golden core is gone. And he’s never forgotten.

In that moment, in the midst of battle, he lost his spiritual power and his very first thought when he realizes that is simply: Again?

How often do you think this haunted his nightmares? This awful feeling of hopelessness, the fear of it repeating itself and rendering him useless? The very fact that he got a second chance was a miracle, something probably not supposed to happen. Maybe he already had wondered if he was living on borrowed time, because how could there not be a price?

There was, but he wasn’t the one to pay it. He just didn’t know that.

So right there, in that very moment he gets taken back to all those years ago, to the days when he lost everything and could only lay and look up at the ceiling, to a different time that yet is now so vivid in his mind - does he think that his fear has caught up with him at last?

And then he hears shouts along the battlefield - cultivator after cultivator stating that they cannot use their qi - and only then does he realize that although there is an emptiness, it is not as profound, not that bone-deep void that made him collapse in on himself.

It turns out right when they’re in the cave and medics state that everyone has lost their qi only temporarily - and of course their situation is still bad, because they are surrounded and stuck and the only people able to fight are Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, Wen Ning and a bunch of children - but Jiang Cheng is relieved. Because he’s been through worse.

wei wuxian and jin ling: *exist*

jiang cheng: (ง'̀-‘́)ง  

Now I know I talked about nie huaisang and lan zhan jamming to the twilight soundtrack but now get ready for

Yo so my brain keeps thinking of 3zun expect as different songs from heathers and I dunno if I'm making myself sadder or just laughing at the idea of Lan Xichen wearing a skirt

Or maybe both

I- I don't appreciate being emotionally attacked like this

cql writers really think they're sly huh

And that's a fact

Favorite character introductions: Nie Mingjue, Nie-zongzhu, titled Chifeng-Zun.

I didn’t add the slow motion, Wei Wuxian did. This is his story, after all.

part 1: Song Lan / part 2: Lan Zhan / part 3: Nie Mingjue

Bonus: Fangirling over Chifeng-Zun (bonus bonus: Lan Wangji is Not Amused)

Yo so I've been reading a lot of social media aus even though it's 2 am and my ass should be Asleep but like here me out

Social media au expect it's Meng Yao as a stressed customer service worker wondering what the absolute fuck is going on with all these rich people idk it just sound funny in my brain

While I love how this fandom has accepted the fact mingjue is a mountain of muscle with big tiddies I feel like in every incarnation au with mingjue he should just become taller he may have been 6'3 when he died but not anymore honey now he's like 6'5 like everything just stays the same expect mingjue is just taller

There will never be a time where this post is not funny

100.) Happy 100th post, everybody!

..... You know what your right

Lan Ghost #1: I knnnew it. I KNEW it. That Lan Wangji was a trouble maker from the start!

Madam Lan: Don’t look at me! He gets it from YOUR side of the family!

Lan Ghost #2: He’s just trying to help his friend! 

Lan Ghost #1: Pffff “friend”.

Lan Ghost #3: If he tries to protect Wei Wuxian, Gusu Lan will be implicated, dishonour will befall the family, traditional values will disintegrate -

Lan Ghost #4: Not to mention Wei Wuxian apparently already HAS a child. 

Lan Ghost #3: My disciples never got into such trouble, they all became wandering healers.

Qingheng-jun: Well, we can’t ALL be wandering healers.

Lan Ghost #1: No, your son just has to fall in love with a NECROMANCER!
