    Summary

    An essay on the subject of the Wen remnants. Who knew that they were non-combatants? Were the sects really the victims of a misinformation campaign as much of fandom argues, or did they all willingly go the Burial Mounds to massacre a group of people who they knew were innocent?

    I will argue the latter. A close reading of the novel text proves that the sects were all either well aware of who the Wens under Wei Wuxian's protection were, or made an active choice not to know.

    Summary

    The best things that ever happened to Lan Qiren were brought to him in the middle of the night by women with perms. First, his nephews, stricken with grief at the death of their parents, then Wei Ying, brought by a harried babysitter when his parents disappeared.

    or

     

    There’s no time or space for grief or anything. He takes the children to buy black suits, he leaves them behind in the apartment, twelve-year-old A-Huan assuring him he’s old enough to be left alone with his brother, to go to their house and oversee it being packed up, the furniture sold, the personal effects of his brother and his wife put in storage.

     

    There’s no room for decisions or education. Only him sitting at his table with two children, eating in silence, only hearing A-Huan whispering to his brother in the middle of the night, only the three of them all tangled up together with grief and confusion and pain.

     

    And the certainty that he isn’t… that he won’t be a good parent.

    Summary

    It started with the death of the sun. He was laid to rest under a blanket of clouds, mourned under an overcast sky, and left as only a memory when the world was forced to move on. Only a hint of light through a cloudy sky reminded the world of what used to be.
    Like a sunset and a new dawn, a new sun would rise. Only to be hidden away, lost in a realm of clouds and sunlight. Not many people would come to his realm. Years passed where he would busy himself, but he always yearned for something different, something new. Something had to be out there beyond the same old trees and the same old island. Day in and day out, he dreamt of what could be.
    One day, two strangers came to the sun. They were boys barely older than himself. The two visitors were just as different as they were similar. One was cocky and cautious, the other friendly with a sharp smile, and, at heart, both were wild and curious. Often, the two bickered, and that was what drew the sun god's attention. He watched them quarrel from afar before his interest got the better of him and he approached.

    Summary

    He keeps moving forward at a steady pace, resisting the urge to run because how fucking embarrassing would that be, running because he missed them, and as he breaks through the treeline he shouts, “Oi, oi—what took you guys so long? It's been—”

    And then he freezes, because yes, actually—something is very, very wrong.

    The Sunny is anchored just off shore, close enough to see the deck but far enough away that the crew has had to take the Mini Merry to make land. Scattered across the beach in various stages of chaos—rolling around, yelling, fighting—are his crew but not his crew, so similar and yet so, so different. They look younger, fresher, and whatthefuck there, on the deck of the Sunny just peering over the railing, he catches a flash of green—his own green hair

    “Ah, fuck,” he grunts, and then immediately turns back around because no, actually, he does not want to deal with this.
