Anyone else think a lot about how at the end of canon, Lan Wangji has had time to mature for 10+ years into a guy in his mid-30s, but Wei Wuxian still has the life experience and general maturity of a war-traumatized early 20-something?
Because like. Wei Wuxian died young and he died tragically, and everyone who was around him then that's still there after he's resurrected has gotten to live their lives. They got to mature. They've had 13/16 years to heal (or not heal -_-) and learn who they are. To become fully realized adults outside of the pressures of war. And Wei Wuxian hasn't had that. If you believe MXTX's interview that circulates on this site sometimes, he spent those 16 years in a suspended state of agony. And even if you don't believe that, he was still dead. Non-existant.
For Wei Wuxian, the war is fresh. The pain is fresh. He has no idea what's doing because he's barely an adult, if admittedly a highly skilled one for his age. The world has moved on around him and he has stayed in place. What does he do with that?
Wei Wuxian had no choice but to pretend that he's moved on, too, because that war that took so much from him was almost two decades ago, now. The Wen Remnants have been dead for over 10 years. What use is it to dig up old hurts? Except, those hurts are still hurting him.
When he died, Wei Wuxian was helping care for Lan Sizhui. Wen Yuan. When he died, Lan Wangji raised A-Yuan with the Lan. If Wei Wuxian was dead for 13/16 years and A-Yuan was 3/4 when he died, then Lan Sizhui is about his age, or very close to it.
This is the child he was raising. This child is now his peer.
Wei Wuxian has memories of war and tragedy, but no one to talk to. The juniors, who are closest to him in relative age, haven't known war, and everyone who has known it has moved on. He's trapped between generations, and that has to be so incredibly isolating.
Jiang Yanli, the Wen Remnants, Wen Qing of particular note, all of them died shortly before he did. Did he ever really get to grieve them? Will he be allowed to now? Especially with his reputation. Especially with the number of people who would really prefer him to simply leave the past in the past. Especially with all the people who think he is the cause of the deaths he wishes to grieve.
Will he be allowed to mourn, if the cultivation world thinks these deaths are his fault? Or that these people don't deserve to be grieved?
Wei Wuxian has the misfortune of being a man who is a decade out of time, and he will have to learn to cope with that, but how does he account for the missing years? When the pain is still fresh for him, how does he find a place in a society that has long since moved on?
when the character that is full of rage and grief is also full of kindness
The Anomalies art by my sun aka my little brother @jellyfilledeyes !!!So fucking good i can't stop looking at itππππππππππππ
It's Miles(Spiderman),Percy(Pjo)and Jason(DC)as a team and best friends,a crossover i created back when Atsv dropped when i realized how much alike they are!!!!!!!The 'August birthday,audhd,afro-caribbean,infinite love for their mom,physical incapability to not run their mouth,no flirting skills but crazy rizz,genius with dorky interests,unbreakable backbone,bad for you food lover,willingness to give up the entire world for their loved ones because they're convinced they can always find a way to save it,catch a break every now and then but not often,punk,darker supressed powers they're terrified of,trans,undoomed doomed by the narrative and had their life irreversably impacted when they were 15 in an iconic story arc' trio!!!Partially requested by me to Sol for Cringetober day 7
Hobie Brown and Jason Todd are a lot alike but people compare them for the wrong reasons due to not reading comics and poserifying Hobie.What him and Jason ACTUALLY have in common is they're both afropunks,edgecases that respect women,audhd bptsd weirdos,present an air of goofy attitude with an obvious toughness to it,cocky ahh and Comics!Hobie got that Robin!Jason peppiness yet angry at the world combo.But it needs to be said Jason's not nearly as cool as Hobie or even enough to hold the Spiderpunk mantle and y'all just need to accept that.They'd definitely be close friends and consider eachother brothers but yeah,Jason is swagless Hobie
An attempt at illustrating Margo's personality/backstory in my head!!!She's got autistic black girl who dosen't fit in with other (normie,non-Spiderperson)kids and has shitty parents and copes by being a chaotic girlypop trauma and swagβπ½

let us take a moment and grieve for all the lives lost. so many thousand people have been murdered by the zionist entity in the last fifteen months. palestinians in gaza have lost too much, from friends and family to their homes and livelihood.
this ceasefire is not an end to our solidarity with gaza. we will all be here waiting and praying for palestine to be wholly liberated from the occupation and watch her people be happy and free.
in the meantime, please keep donating to palestinian fundraisers. it is essential to support families planning on rebuilding.
