You know, these are just midnight thoughts, but I adore Wangxian. I think their love is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in years. Like- that’s a GOOD love story. Then there is Bingqiu. And they have a million problems, some very worrisome, some absolutely terrifying. But out of all of mxtx’s ships, I find them to be the most FASCINATING. They’re like something broken or damaged that in no way has been fixed or healed yet. There is something about them that just makes me lay awake late at night thinking about all the ‘could have beens’.
Like if Shen Yuan fell for someone else like Liu Qingge, if Shen Yuan snapped and yelled at Binghe or broke down crying from all his stress, if Shen Jiu was there, if Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan both existed as separated entities at the same time, if Shen Yuan was a demon, if he was a disciple, if he never transmigrated and Binghe came to his world.
Or what happens after the story finishes. What happens next? It’s so very unknown. Do they face more dangers? Do they figure out the System? Can they kill it? Does Binghe grow into someone more mature and less horrifying? Does Shen Yuan grow to understand his emotions more and the people around him? Is the world he lives in an actual world rather than a book? The possibilities, man. They’re so many, that you could just go on forever.
Wangxian to me is perfect. Their damage is perfect, their healing is lovely. There are some things in between that I wish could be fixed like Wei Wuxian relationship with Jiang Cheng, but the love between Lan Zhan and Wei Ying is gorgeous and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
But Bingqiu? BINGQIU? So much to debate, so much to talk about. If you want to even be an internet purist, you can go on and talk about the morals, the ethics, the dangers, and mistakes. You could really go on forever and it blows my mind.
