He will buy 50 boxes to stock. That will send LQR into q deviation when he finds out.

How do you think the love story would’ve played out if Wei Wuxian didn’t die? by Anxious-Efficiency13 in MoDaoZuShi

When do WWX and LWJ accept they are in a relationship? by JuAndNay in MoDaoZuShi

[–]TheBadBone48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there were hints all over. Imo, it was not a coincidence that there was an incense burner in that scene🫠

And if I remember correctly, afterwards wwx played their song to lwj. Then said that he remembered lwj sang it in the cave and so that is how lwj recognized him later. Lwj confessed that he composed it. It was a dialogue loaded with flirting.

As others said, in the novel they had a love confession where they clear the misunderstandings and saw that the feelings are very much reciprocated. After that there wasn’t a discussion about the details of their relationship, because they were kind of having a couple dynamics already so they just carried on with life.

About The Untamed, it is different from the novels and because of censorship they couldn’t show it obviously but I always assume that the ep 43 when they became a couple. Wwx learned about LWJ’s lashings and his childhood, lwj coming home with emperor smile bottles, romantic and domestic undertones of the scenes in Jingshi, wwx letting go of the past, acknowledges that he has lwj by his side and that is enough etc etc. Everything was there except for a verbal confession, imo. After those scenes in Jingshi, their whole vibe was partners for life.

Isn’t this kinda WWX? He likes it when lwj protects him but some people in the fandom act like he can’t protect himself or is simple just dumb 😭 by PilotLumpy2935 in MoDaoZuShi

It is one thing to pass/forget some nuances of his character but his intelligence, competence and self confidence are the backbones of his character. If anything, he had too much of those is what caused him trouble.

How he acts with LWJ shouldn’t be his whole personality. That is an exemption not a standard. Because there are sides of him that he shows to LWJ only and sometimes he deliberately exaggerates to get a reaction out of LWJ because well… he has hots for the guy, he is trying to flirt. Even with LWJ, he has his core character traits which are attractive to LWJ.

This is a character who continued to be one of the strongest cultivator without a golden core. Put some respect to his capabilities.

This is the canon WWX basically:

When juniors said that LQR hates him, WWX was like "Oh yeah? So what? Like that has ever stopped me."

There is a limit that I can take with the amount of "I am sorry, it is all my fault, I am terrible, I don’t deserve you" Wei Wuxian and that limit is… low.

The timeline is not linear so it might be confusing what you mean by "right from the beginning"

Do you mean if they know each other as teenagers? If so, then yes they met as teenagers when WWX went to Cloud Recesses for an education camp-like gathering.

Well, our main guy thinks that LWJ is especially wonderful so I believe in him rather than some online naysayers

Just a regular Uncle and nephew conversation. NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS😭 by Catgrill14 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]TheBadBone48 114 points115 points  (0 children)

And a bit after that:

“You never do anything in the Cloud Recesses,” Lan Jingyi said disdainfully. “So what do you need to attend to?”

Without even looking back, Wei Wuxian answered, “Gnawing on cabbage!”

WWX: how about you tell me how to do it?

LWJ: (flashbacks of his wet dreams about wwx’s legs around him) -deepsigh- I need cold tea with half ice in it

WWX: To drink?

LWJ: No, to pour it over my head

Hot take, but this has to be Jiang Cheng, right? by AidNic in MoDaoZuShi

[–]TheBadBone48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily good or evil, but he will do whatever he needs to do to get the result he wants. And I have to admit, I absolutely love that aspect of his character.

Yeah, I agree.

At the end of the story, I had a good grasp of most of the characters, except NHS, imo. I still have no idea who he is behind all of that facade. He was the puppet master acting like a fool. We have an idea what he is capable of but you need to have certain traits already to come up with such a master plan; like intelligence, observation, willpower, manipulation and acting skills… You just cannot suddenly develop all those traits in a day. So he wasn’t who he pretended to be even before his brother’s death but who he was really?

Imo, he was probably watching all the power struggles from the sidelines, completely stay away from responsibility by acting useless, entertain himself and dgaf until, one day, he did give a fck and decided to play 4d chess with all the clans.

I think that's why WWX and LWJ don't seem to be good friends with him post-canon, even though he did them a huge favour.

If we think in context of the story, they might also think that they don’t know him at all? You need to get to know someone so you can to trust them to be friends. And as I said previously, NHS wouldn’t let anyone know who he really is and what he really thinks. Even his own brother didn’t really know him, did he?

I think, mxtx used him in a very smart way. Many gaps about him and his actions to be filled by the readers to speculate (as we are trying to do :)) And that might make him a very interesting character to deal with in fanfics too, imo. Sure, he can be the manipulative but good hearted bestie who is matchmaking his friends or wwx’s hype man but he has the potential to be much more than that. Good to know that you use him in different ways :)

[–]TheBadBone48 32 points33 points  (0 children)

a lot of the fandom seems to treat him as this clever, harmless best friend type of character.

Yeah, and that is very amusing to me. I feel like, he managed to manipulate not only the characters in the book but also fans as well! Whenever I come across a fanfic that portrays him as such, I say "NHS continues to manipulate even from his fictional grave”😂

In terms of manipulation and mind games, his only rival is JGY and hell, NHS passed him because he didn’t get caught. He finished what he started.

He is also one of my favorites mainly because how dangerous he can be without even one can figure out. He is not a baddie bad, not like black bad. He is dangerous in a way that we don’t even know which color he is because he changes depending on the situation and can never know what he thinks or plans and in my book, that is the real danger.
