Do ya'll ever think about how every character in MDZS is living in a radically different genre of story?

Cause yeah, sure Wei Wuxian is living in a danmei fantasy novel with strong romantic comedy elements, but if you slide over a bit Lan Wangji is living a serious and heady drama about regret, loss, yearning, the passage of time, and ultimately atonement.

Scooch on over to Xichen and your in a straight up Greek tragedy, right down to the parable about hubris and trust. Jin Guangyao is living meanwhile in a political dark fantasy al'la Game of Thrones, Nie Huaisang is in a Gothic moody Monte Cristo-esque reflection on revenge and deception, and while Lan Sizhuhi and Jin Ling are living in two VERY different YA fantasy books ('magic boarding school/secret orphan of destiny' and 'Steven Universe style coming of age/discovering all your family are some flavor of evil and magic' respectively).

Everyone connected to Yi City is living inside a dark psychological thriller/horror flick, except for Xue Yang who is in a Found Family/Enemies to Lover fic right up until he isn't.

Jiang Cheng's entire life has been one long soap opera, and it is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Today I remembered that Wei Wuxian was able to identify Nie Mingjue's body by the way it swung its arm (saber form), and it really got me thinking about how that's possible, and the other implications and questions it conjures.

There's the likeliest option, which is during the Sunshot Campaign, Wei Wuxian fought closely alongside Nie cultivators or even Nie Mingjue himself. And they would have had to have been close together cause it would be hard to memorize a blade form in the midst of battle while also playing a flute that controls the dead.

Then there's the second option, which is during the downtimes of the war before battles, Wei Wuxian would watch the Nie train. The reason why? Well:

Wei Wuxian has been shown to have an interest in sabers, even though we've never actually read/seen him use one. During the burial mound days with the Wens, his study/room was said to have more than one saber inside. What was he using them for? It couldn't have been for defense cause he would have given them to the few Wens that could possibly fight, and he possibly could've/would've taken one to Jin Ling's one-month celebration if he could wield one. Was he studying them? What for? Why? What type of metal were they made out of? Iron, like the Stygian Tiger Seal? Where did he get them? Who crafted them? Why would he get sabers when both he and the Wens use sword forms?

What do you all think? I'd really like to speculate more about this with someone.
