When people make you feel unwanted, don't leave to make them feel sad or guilty, they won't. Leave because you no longer have a reason to stay. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. What's meant to be will end up good and what's not - won't. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you and more than they deserve.

One of the fun things about Mo Dao Zu Shi is how we were never explicitly told when Lan Wangji fell in love with Wei Wuxian.

Watching The Untamed now, and how Wang Yibo seems to have a good understanding of at least the Lan Wangji he is playing (given that I do find his acting unexpectedly solid for a character who outwardly gives us so little), I wish someone would ask him when he stopped acting angry with Wei Wuxian. We still got a genuine angry/irritated face in episode 7

but then it was also in this same episode that we got a really soft look from him, when he heard Wei Wuxian's wish as they shared a floating lantern

and I don't think I remember another angry face from him towards Wei Wuxian after that?

Even when Wei Wuxian tied him up with the string in episode 8, he was only mildly exasperated at best.

I think at the time Lan Wangji was just glad for his company. We knew (heck, even big bro Lan Xichen knew) he wanted Wei Wuxian to come, but he probably couldn't justify asking to himself nor did he know how to ask. Oh, Lan Zhan. ‎(´∇`)

They then share even more adventures after that and Lan Wangji just gets softer and softer like

And don't even get me started when they met again in Qishan. Lan Wangji just lost his home and did not know how his family was doing. The only thing that could get a rise out of him was if Wei Wuxian was in trouble. So then, I think, by that point, our good boy was already in love.

Right, so. Between episodes 7 and 13, yes? WHEN DID YOU START LOVING HIM LAN ZHAN???

Bonus post-falling in love!Lan Wangji

I just lost my home, my leg is broken, I am fast sinking into depression and you still pushed my future husband down a steep slope did you really want to join your ancestors so fast

I can't believe you just suggested I could be in love with someone else you glorious dumbfuck

He touched my forehead ribbon again but that's okay I guess since we're getting married anyway
