The Ink-Pot and the Palette

The actor playing Lan Wangji aka Lan Zhan has the most compelling damn face I've ever seen. He's remarkable. You think Wei Wuxian is the main protagonist, and he is, but very quickly I found myself just watching for Lan Zhan to come on the scene.

Then, if you should happen to sort of fall into the fandom, you're exposed to pictures of these beautiful young men in modern dress with modern hair (and makeup, so much makeup) and it's a moment of weird cognitive dissonance as the face slots into place in your mind without the dramatic waist-length hair and silk robes surrounding it, and you recognize them.

I'm really having way too much fun in this fandom now. There's some excellent fic, too, by some of the old Big Names in fandom.
