Mo Dao Zu Shi - Tumblr Posts

Drew Mo Xuanyu and Nie Huaisang. Btw yesterday it was NHS's birthday! So I guess it kinda counts as a late present (I was sick yesterday😢)

I really like MXY, he deserved much better💔 I wish we got to see and know him more... I also don't think he was completely insane, but rather had some mental problems and was deeply traumatized. As a person who was labeled as "weird" and "crazy" all my school years I really relate to him...

I'm sorry but this is how I see him. He has a literal babyface in the donghua!

I'm sorry but not really

Yes, I spent an hour or two making THIS

The original:

I want to create a more stylized/cartoonist artstyle for myself but I fail

Teenage Jin Zixuan. He's a little bit boring but I still like him :>

an encounter in yiling

MY ENTIRE SHORT MXTX LIFE I THOUGHT THE GUY IN WHITE ON THE COVER WAS WEI WUXIAN BUT IT’S NOT MY LIFE IS A LIE IT WAS LAN WANGJI THE WHOLE TIME

I have successfully conditioned myself to think of MDZS whenever I hear “When You Come Home” by Mree.

do you know what's the most hilarious thing about mdzs?

all of it, like literally all of it,

all the way from the fight beneath the moonlight to shijie's death,

to the betrayals and bloodsheds and rabbits and chickens and donkeys...

it ALL happened right in front of Jin Ling's uncle.

I literally cannot-

Friendly reminder that baby LSZ was in a literal labour camp

Our last summer But it's a 3zun angst where LXC is wondering what happened to his two brothers, wondering where they've gone wrong

Is there anyone out there who loves every character MXTX has ever written? Please I'm getting desperate

I love you, Lan Xichen. All you ever did wrong was give your boyfriend the benefit of the doubt one too many times. Who among us hasn't?

I love you, Jiang Cheng. Life won't stop coming at you. You feel like you're not good enough, and you're angry about it all. Who among us can't relate?

I love you, Wei Wuxian. When people told you to be careful, you said, "What could possibly go wrong?" Who among us has never fucked around and found out?

I love you, Lan Wangji. Raised to be a virtuous monk, you fell in love with a rebel necromancer. Who among us hasn't fallen for a Bad Boy?

I love you, Jin Guangyao. All you ever wanted was the love of your father and thanks for all the hard work you do. Who among us doesn't?

I love you, Nie Huaisang. You do the absolute minimum without getting fired. Who among us isn't at least a little jealous of that?

I love you, Nie Mingjue. All you ever did wrong was not pay close enough attention to your boyfriend's music. Who among us hasn't done that?

I love you, Wen Ning. All you ever did wrong was go a little overboard. Who among us hasn't?

I love you Wen Qing. All you ever did wrong was try to help a friend and look at the thanks you got. Who among us can't relate?

I love you, Jiang Yanli. All you ever did wrong was...just kidding. You never did anything wrong. You're trying to make the world better one bowl of soup at a time and who among us doesn't think that's beautiful?

I love you, Xue Yang. All you ever did wrong was...Well you did a lot of things wrong, but I love you anyway.

I can't stop thinking of JC and WWX as that astronaut meme like WWX: wait you mean my heroic acts of sacrifice have consequences for the people who love me?? JC, holding a gun: always have

Some of my favourite moments in the series come when other people sacrifice themselves for Wei Wuxian (Wen Qing paralyzing him with the needles before going to die with Wen Ning, Jiang Cheng giving himself up to them Wen (he doesn’t even know why Jiang Cheng is in danger but he’s still very unhappy about it) and of course Yanli pushing him out of the way of that sword), and he just hates it! It makes him so deeply miserable and distraught! All of the most self destructive shit he pulls (giving up his core in a dangerous experimental procedure, crashing his own cancellation party to start shit with 3000 of his closest enemies, throwing himself off of a cliff), he pulls in the immediate aftermath of the people he loves getting hurt or dying on his behalf.

It’s a big part of why I love the moment Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian run down the stairs together so much. Wei Wuxian is trying to sacrifice himself for someone he loves, again, and Lan Wangji doesn’t answer that sacrifice in kind. He shows him he’ll walk into trouble with him. They don’t have to take turns suffering alone for each other! They can face what comes next together, as a team. And for Wei Wuxian, deciding to accept that offer and trust not just in Lan Wangji’s love but his judgement, his right to make that choice for himself- he’s come so far! He’s grown so much! I love them.

Golden Core

Summary I was rewatching MDZS donghua and thought to myself "if only he told them about his golden core". Here I am. Probably very bad but hey I needed to get it out of my system.

Written in Wei Wuxian pov

I tried

I just wanted to make Jin Ling happy

I finally reached Qiongqi Path with Wen Qing. I could hear some Lanling Jin disciple shouting orders. I turned to Wen Qing indicating her to stay behind me, then we proceed foward. There they were all the remaining people from Qishang Wen, they were only elders and a child. "Move you Wen-dog!" Ah, that annoying voice of Jin Zixun, if it wasn't for his title I would've killed him right were he stand. "How dare you to stop walking! Move your ass you filthy dog!" He shouts at the old man, 'You're one lucky bastard Jin Zixun, if I had a blade I would've cut you in half'. I walked forward with Wen Qing following behind, "Wei Wuxian? Why are you here?" "Wen Ning" "Who?!" "Wen Ning, where is he?" "I don't know who you're talking about" Man, just listening to him annoys the hell out of me. "Are you sure?" "I said I don't know! Why would I keep tabs on some filthy Wen dogs?! What you want to save them?" He looks at me thinking he "hurt" my feelings "And what if that is my idea? You're going to stop me?" I make eye contact with him and scoff "With your ability, you'll be lucky to tickle me" "You- You're nothing but a son of a servant, you have no title, you low born scum!" "Come on, can't think of a new way to insult me? You're pathetic. Wen Qing go ahead, when you find Wen Ning call me. I'm going to entertain Little Lord Jin Zixun." When I said those words a swarm of Lanling Jin disciples took out their blades and prepared to fight me. I took out Chenqing, that action alone was enough to make them hesitate. I started playing and in a blink of an eye half of them were on the ground. "AAAH!!" Wen Qing screamed from afar, I just quickly delt with the annoying ants and rushed to her position. When I reached her I heard "AH-NING!!" I looked over and saw what they've done to him. "You killed him" I turned to Jin Zixun "So what? He's a Wen that's his fate" "Wen Qing and Wen Ning, never harmed anyone, instead they helped many cultivators. So tell me what kind of sins they and the others here have committed?" "THEY'RE SURNAME IS WEN! THAT'S THEIR SIN, ANY ONE WITH THAT SURNAME DESERVES TO DIE!" There's no use trying to talk to this waste of a human. I felt the Stygian Tiger Sigil react to my emotions and it exploded, all of it's energy floaded into Wen Ning, turning him into a Fighting Zombie. I started playing Chenqing. I was so close to Jin Zixun then-

A familiar sound, 'It's him'. "Wei Ying" 'Lan Zhan' he looked tired and sad. Then I looked up there he stood the other waste of oxigen, Jin Guangshan and his bastard son Jin Guangyao. "Wei Ying, calm down and put Chenqing down, let us talk!" "CALM DOWN?! PUT CHENQING DOWN?! HOW ABOUT THEY CALM DOWN AND THEY PUT THEIR WEAPONS DOWN?!!" "Childe Wei" I looked up to see Jin Guangshan smirking at me "Childe Wei don't you think you're exagerating? I can let you take this Wen dog, but before that how about you hand over the Stygian Tiger Talisman?" "Hah, Jin Guangshan, do you think that, since Qishang Wen is gone Lanling Jin should take over their position, do what you want us to do, hand over our stuff to you. I almost forgot that Qishang Wen never got destroyed." "YOU- What do you mean by that?! Don't get ahead of yourself! Do you have any idea how badly are you painting the Yunmeng Jiang Clan?" "I've said it before, what I do has nothing to do with Yunmeng Jiang Clan" "Wei Wuxian, you have no manners at all! Is that what they teach at Yunmeng? You first show up with no blade by your side, what are you trying to show off? Are you famous enough? Is your hubris not satisfied with all the attention you have?"

I grit my teeth and close my eye and in a moment of rage I let out the truth.

"SO WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE MY BLADE BY MY SIDE!? I'LL TELL YOU WHY I DON'T HAVE MY BLADE! I DON'T HAVE A GOLDEN CORE!" Lan Zhan and the other present had a shocked face "I GAVE IT TO JIANG CHENG. NO I DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM TO MAKE HIM "OBIDIENT" TO ME! BUT BECAUSE HE'S MY BROTHER! AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN FOR HIM! SO DON'T YOU DARE GO AROUND SAYING "WEI WUXIAN NEVER CARED ABOUT JIANG CHENG AND YUNMENG" YOU ALL KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!" Shit, why am I crying. Ah, shit. I finally opened my eye to see Jiang Cheng.

Ah, he looks like he's going to cry. What do you know about suffering Jin Guangshan?" "Huh?!" "I lost my parents when I was young, I lost my adoptive father and the clan that raised me and I've lost my brother and sister. I'm not afraid of losing my life for this." "You're patheti-" "That's enough." Jiang Cheng said "Lord Jin, Wei Ying is still a disciple from Yunmeng, so I'm going to decide what to do with him." "But this isn't just about Wei Wuxian! Is about the Wen!" "Yeah! These waste of Wen should be eradicated!" "Also the Stygian Tiger Talisman!" "YEAH! It could be dangerous for all of us of he use it!" "YEAH! HAND IT OVER!" "SHUT UP!" Jiang Cheng said while whipping the ground with Zidian. 'He definatly has Madam Yu attitude.' Lan Zhan turned to Jin Guangshan "I agree with Wei Ying, why is Lanling Jin acting as the clans leader? Why does he have to hand over the Talisman to you and not destroy it right now?" The last question made a lot of head turn "Well that's because..." "Sect Leader Jin, I Sect Leader Jiang Cheng would like to formally dissolve our alliance. From now on Yunmeng Jiang Sect will act as an indipendant clan." He turned to me "What are you waiting for? Let's go home." "Huh?" "You and the rest of them, let's go." This cause an uproar "WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISSOLVE??" "SECT LEADER JIANG PLEASE LISTEN!" "ZEWU-JUN, SAY SOMETHING!" Zewu-Jun looked angry (well on the Gusu way) "I'm afraid that I must also agree with Wangji and Sect Leader Jiang. I'm sorry but Gusu Lan also shall act as an indipendant Clan." He bowed to the rest of the cultivators and nod to Lan Zhan to leave. Lan Zhan turned back at me and looked at me with what I would say, endearment.

While I, Jiang Cheng and the Wen survivors were leaving. I heard some other clans also leaving the alliance.

The next day the main 3 clan Gusu Lan, Qinghe Nie and Yunmeng Jiang we're now just allies with indipendant goverment, everyone is equal and they don't meddle with others sect. Lanling Jin was left with some minor clans and by some pressure from the main 3 clans, Jin Guangshan resigned, in his place Jin Zixuan took the rule and he promised to not act like his father. He married Jiang Yanli, but this time not for any power gain, but for love, this union was blessed by Jiang Cheng and I, after some convincing from Shijie.

Many things happened Jin Guangyao trying to assasinate Jin Zixuan, which failed since we found the main collaborator, Su She. He was promptly arrested and judge, his verdict? Execution for treason and attempted murder.

Shijie gave birth to their first child, Jin Ling, I got to pick his courtesy name when he reaches 15 years of age. Me and Lan Zhan became closer, to the point where he would come to Yunmeng with Tianzixiao when he was free. With time romance blossomed and I too got married. Jiang Cheng was busy with the re-building of the Clan, and as I promised I helped as much as I could. But hey, when you're traveling the world with the love of your life you can't help much like I should.

The End

So that's it. I basically changed the story. I tried to leave it to y'all imagination the future. Yes I still kept Jiang Cheng single cause I just think he's not ready to handle someone else's feeling when he still ha to figure out his own. But yeah hope you liked it, sorry if there is any misspelling I'm very tired and I'll probably see y'all when I write again. Byeee.

Just in theory.... Can cultivators use their swords as skewers in their trips?

Something about myself

Hi, I’m a Storyteller lost in the pages of time from Italy :D

I write mostly about mithology but also things like Identity V,Saint Seiya, Genshin impact and all Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù’s novels are in my interest range, I love Mo dao zu shi the most though lol.

Tell me something about yourself maybe :D

thinking about how Wei Wuxian's story allows the martyr to see the sacrifice and the resurrection and Lan Wangji's story allows the bereaved to see the loss and the resilience.

in our world, there is never enough time and space for grief. a failed self-sacrifice is often not witnessed or mourned, the martyr is not allowed to return and wrestle with the consequences and a world moved beyond them. reforming the self after the cataclysm comes from a place of fierce love and devotion.

love, grief, and sacrifice are different faces of the same human force.

I have had mxtx content so deeply embedded in my thoughts, the brainrot is so fierce. I love the narratives in her books, these themes that I haven't ever felt in a story before. Just some rambling about them that's bubbled up over the last few months:

SVSSS: even with a sense of authority on where the story will go, changes both small and large can surprise or underwhelm you. there are always stories hidden behind characters and characters lost to hidden stories. the narrative we tell about ourselves affects everything about how we interpret the meaning of what we experience. often we are blind to the meanings we emphasize or suppress, confident in the authority of a narrative we insist is true, cohesive, consistent, or normative.

MDZS: everyone has their own version of events, often not in service to truth or justice, but power and image. yes, where you come from and what you endure can be limiting or enabling. yes, it can explain why you do what you do. yes, you still always, always have a choice to do what is right. only you can decide what that is. in some cases, everyone will have an opinion. in others, no one will know or care. you choose whether that influence what you do. it is never too late, it is never over, and every choice is a new opportunity. you can't change choices made in the past, but you can learn from them to inform your choices in the future and influence the options available to those who follow.

TGCF: sometimes you can change the story with brute strength and charisma, sometimes all you can do is endure and regulate your own response to it. you can reinvent yourself over and over, run from your past selves, suppress the parts of you that are shamed, but you will always be with you and only you. all that happens, within and around, bad and good, your actions or others', makes you you. the greatest and worst versions of yourself were all required to make this you -- it's not the state of you that matters, but the essence of you. integrate, rebuild, evolve, rebirth, morph, refine, transform, regress -- the story always progresses and characters always develop, the only story that defines you is the one you iterate.

And for all of them... sometimes, the happy ending isn't sweeping change in the world, awe inspiring redemption, or cathartic revenge. Sometimes it's allowing yourself to have a simple life with the ones you love, staying authentic to your values and desires, and understanding the revolution that is inherent to thriving in the body you live in, all its scars and memories included. You can never control the story of the world, no matter your knowledge, skills, or abilities, nor should you try. Horrid experiences and events can't be eradicated, but neither can beauty, awe, and grace. Unfortunately, these are not often equitably distributed. Fortunately, we can never know which will be in the next moment, which will be the last, if there will be better or worse than we have already felt. Such is living.
