Lan Sect - Tumblr Posts
So, I keep seeing MDZS comparison posts...
There are people who fell down the MDZS rabbit hole via the novel, and followed the developing media that paralleled the novel, and others who only know the CQL drama. While the content on both sides does differ, based on media control, these facts remain the same:
Jin Guangshan is the most vile character:
Constantly cheated on his wife
Raped his best friend's wife, resulting in Qin Su
Made false promises to his conquests, especially women who were desperate for a better life where they weren't looked down upon for doing what they needed to, to survive/Meng Shi (possibly Mo Xuanyu's mother as well)
Strung his son along
Sneered at the Wens, but was against the Sunshot Campaign like a coward
Punished the innocent if it made him look good
Started all the BS by pushing MY/JGY down the steps of Koi Tower when he was a child
Lan Xichen is the most tragic character:
Felt helpless as Wangji was brutally punished, and live with depression after Wuxian's death
Couldn't say goodbye to his father
Learned his best friend was killed by someone he loved with his own family's arts
Mortally wounded JGY for a reason that may or may not have been true
Was willing to die with JGY, only to be spared and watch him die at the hand of his deceased best friend
Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao is the cruelest character:
Killed the man who gave him a new life after his mother died
Betrayed the boy who saw him as a brother from day one
Killed his own family
Made Wei Wuxian a scapegoat
Was willing to kill a bunch of kids and frame Wei Wuxian AGAIN
Almost killed a majority of the cultivation world in the same plan
Threatened the life of the nephew he raised after killing his brother
Threw Mo Xuanyu away instead of helping him
Betrayed Lan Xichen, yet still claimed he never hurt him
Nie Huaisang is a scary genius:
Spent ten years planning Jin Guangyao's demise, complete with back-ups and fallbacks.
Is actually a very capable cultivator despite not following the "normal" methods (at least he doesn't follow demonic cultivation) because how else could he have successfully sealed the coffin?
Lan Wangji is the most loyal character:
Continued to support Wei Wuxian despite everything going downhill.
Proudly took any and all punishments dealt out by his sect's rules
Visits Xichen during his Seclusion, just as Xichen visited him during this three-year Seclusion
These are my personal analysis of these characters, I have no expectations of others to agree.
a-yuan helping comb lan wangji’s hair when he was bedridden is just so sad but so adorable too like imagine lan wangji feeling at least a bit of peace knowing a part of his beloved was still there and he could make things better for a-yuan :(((
Lan Xichen my beloved-
