I Miss Wangji

The utter sadness sets in.

This is the 2nd episode where I am irritated at Jiang Cheng.

The blame that goes to Wuxian is unreasonable. We all know he didn't ever do anything that caused anything that wasn't already going to happen. Jiang Cheng's personality is the EXACT reasons his parents put Wuxian beside him and treated Wuxian the way they did. He can't even muster anything for his sister who has to suffer alone. She's a woman who doesn't cultivate dangit! What use is he to her as a brother? Thankfully they both have Wuxian.

[Note: The paranoia, the self doubt, the blame would not be a part of Wuxian's psyche at all if it wasn't for the darkness that entered his soul after coming into contact with the Túshā Xuánwǔ sword. I'll also note that, Wen Qing, having worked with Wen Ruo Han in order to suppress the affects of the Stygian Iron on him, is well aware that Wuxian is being affected by something similar, even if she doesn't express it. There's no way she doesn't see its affects.]

This is where I knew that Wuxian floated wherever the wind took him or in better words both ways. Wen Qing and him fight like a married couple. It's clear, just like her brother, she's let affection for Wuxian seep into her soul. Wuxian appreciates the care, and will always reciprocate.

Like the reason Wuxian was fascinated with Wangji and sought him out for friendship, she has talents that either match his or surpass him. These kinds of people are hard for him to find. It's also a clear indicator that Wangji floated this way from the start, and was the one having to suppress lots of things. I believe Wuxian understood that deep down from the start, and why he enjoyed teasing him in that vein. It's most assuredly that Wuxian comes to his feelings over time, where as for Wangji, it was love at first sight. lol.
