"He killed 3000 ppl!" That's literally confirmed as false. 2nd of all everyone in nightless city literally grouped up there to watch an innocent women burn to death than spit on her ashes than team up to go kill her (knowingly) innocent family, everyone there was on there way to attack wwx but god forbid wwx fights back (and even than him fighting back was a last resort)
Fans who believe or try to frame what happened at nightless city as Wei Ying being the one in the wrong or even say his actions were unjustified boggles my mind because he didn't even start it!
He showed up and quietly listened to Jin Guangyao openly break his promise to Wen Qing and Wen Ning. Watches as he riles up the crowd into lusting for his and the Remnant's death, calls him out on it, tries to argue against their accusations with very legitimate points.
AND GETS SHOT.
If he wanted them all dead, he could have so very easily hidden himself in the shadows and played his flute. Condemning them to die before they could even lift a finger. But no, he showed up to TALK.
The clans were happy about him getting shot too until they realized they'd just made him angry.
Wei Ying didn't show up with the intention to fight. He didn't show up to seek revenge. He didn't show up with any desire to even cause harm. But that arrow and the way the clans reacted to it made it more than clear that talking wasn't going to persuade them to leave him and the Remnants alone. So he fought. Not for himself. But for the Remnants. His family.
And that was his fault? The people there that night KNEW what they were doing. They reaped what they sowed. They showed up with the intent to kill an innocent group of people who had done them no harm.
He had every right to lethally attack and defend himself against the people who were also lethally attacking him.
Framing the whole incident as Wei Ying being the one at fault is the PROPAGANDA that the clans created. Why are so many readers falling for it????
I hear your “Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji weren’t very close in the past bc Wei Wuxian doesn’t think about him that much as time goes on,” and I raise you, Wei Wuxian deliberately suppresses any and all thoughts of the things that hurt him the most. The fact that Lan Wangji doesn’t come up as often in his internal monologue after they have their falling out indicates just how badly Lan Wangji’s rejection hurt him
Breaking news: man is jealous of his own pet.
Realized I never actually posted my MDZS RED AU on here, and decided to add a few more sketches for fun :D
Gonna be real i couldn't resist giving NMJ Marvin's backstory, it fits so well ^^;

The Lans and Nies have no right to check and intrude between whatever is going on between Wei Wuxian, the Wen remnants and the Jins. Yet, they somehow have enough rights to go and witness the deaths of Wen Qing and Wen Ning with their clan disciples. And why were these two being killed? Because Jin Zixuan died by the hands of Wen Ning in an ambush set forth by the Jins upon Wei Wuxian, who was invited to Koi Tower by the Jins! So, it's definitely the Jin's matter, yet now you guys can come!
And what ends up happening? Somehow, Wen Ning who is being supported by Hanguang-jun loses control and ... kills Lans and Nies? Not the Jins! In the Jin palace! In an event orchestrated by the Jins! Death by a fierce corpse that the Jins should have prepared for! A whole ass cultivation sect? And a fierce corpse can go and kill whoever it wants?
But great!
Because you guys didn't ever go and check what the matter at Burial Mounds actually was like, because not your problem! Now, it has become your problem and you're forced to take part in the oath ceremony to go raze the Burial Mounds, and then you know, to defend himself, Wei Wuxian comes! And somehow it's his fault for "slaughtering." As if you guys weren't going along with the flow, not even questioning for a second why the smart Yiling Laozu would kill the people who could have stood up for him? And then what? You guys were present at the Oath Ceremony so more of you ended up dying, and now you have to go and take part in the slaughter of 50 innocent men and women and old people!!
Just because you were in positions of power, yet chose inaction. You got completely played! Naive.
Now, that's not enough yet.
Now, there's only two people who could've saved Nie Mingjue - Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing. But they're both already gone! Perhaps if Lan Wangji wasn't in seclusion, he would've stood up against the slaughter of all those minor clans who "tried to assassinate sect leader Jin"! But he is!
Now, Lan Xichen would rather shrug off both of his sworn brothers showing utmost hostility towards each other and increasing amounts of killing intent as a misunderstanding. He would think, oh he's being so nice and nuanced, understanding how people have to sometimes do bad things to maintain peace :((
Like, Lan Xichen's whole identity is built over avoiding conflict. When it comes to good and evil, there is no third side. How can you preach righteousness if you're not willing to carry the burden of morality? Sympathy doesn't equate to righteousness. Perhaps, if be wasn't a sect leader, he'd be good. But when you're a sect leader, being good isn't enough! Your inaction amounts to hundreds of lives.
Wei Wuxian perhaps has the most blood on his hands yet he values even the life of some useless servant, or some half-dead grandmother. You're all letting entire clans die to maintain a peaceful environment and you're thinking you're being righteous. If you have doubts then check them out!
Why are Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji so fated?
Well, firstly they've seen how "ugly" the other can get. Lan Wangjj knows that Wei Wuxian can turn up the heavens for righteousness, that he'll gladly walk through hell, if he could he would even offer up his own pieces of flesh. Wei Wuxian knows Lan Wangji cannot pretend things are okay when they're not. He is stubborn to no end with what he believes to be right, is willing to bear each and every consequence. He'd rather do what he thinks is right and accept the punishment later, whatever that will be.
In the face of truth, you can't hide, and you can't be prejudiced.
Wei Wuxian was hurt so much by Wen Chao, thrown into the Burial Mounds yet he brought the same surnamed Wens into Burial Mounds willingly to protect them! How can Nie Mingjue simply act on his hatred? In your righteousness to kill all evil, you started killing without exceptions and became the evil himself!
And why does Lan Xichen not have anything to say about Xue Yang? "Er-ge... this is what father wants." But Jin Guangshan is also a sect leader! Lan Xichen is also a sect leader!
I wonder what Lan Xichen said to Wangji after his visit to the Burial Mounds.
"Xiongzhang, there isn't an army but a child, the elderly, the women."
"Wangji. I understand. But Wei-gongzi has really upset the orthodox society now. It is no longer about the Wens. His cultivation is evil, and he holds the Tiger Seal... he even brought back Wen Ning's consciousness... you believe you know him..."
And boom, tell that to Jin Guangyao and three days later, everyone knows about Wen Ning. Props to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji for not holding grudges towards anyone and simply riding off to the sunset and even helping everyone who never tried to understand their true hearts.
Both of them are really blessed.
