Here’s your daily reminder that wwx was an addict, an alcoholic, at age 15 and the part where he gets shitfaced in the burial mounds isn’t meant to be cute, it’s meant to show that everything is a facade and he feels worthless and useless.
It’s not meant to be “sexy”

In the first place. He acts like it’s a nice and cool thing but he’s the only one out of the trio (+jc nd nhs) to drink as much.
After the burial mounds wwx only finds comfort in alcohol, he’s an addict still.
His addiction only comes down after he’s resurrected

Lwj being the one to encourage his drinking habits (which I don’t find cute, but it’s also a way to show that lwj has accepted everything about wwx) eventually with things settled his addiction comes to an end, but it’s very much ALWAYS here from beginning to end
