Killer And Healer - Ep. 11 & 12

Absolutely obsessed with the idea of Jiang Cheng, in the wake of the Jiang Sect's massacre, just massively overdoing it with the defensive measures in Lotus Pier:

It was bad enough when they were first rebuilding, but in the nearly two decades that followed every single time Jiang Cheng had a nightmare about his family dying and/or Lotus Pier burning down, he would immediately get up and start working on the defensive arrays, or the evacuation plans, or so on...

People think of the Impure Realm as an impenetrable fortress, but after Lotus Pier burnt down and was rebuilt? No other sect could stand a chance against Jiang Cheng's obsessive paranoia.

Lotus Pier has everything from defensive arrays, to evacuation plans and saferooms, to secret codes and signals known only to the disciples, to hidden underground and underwater tunnels, to booby traps, barriers, poison gas, etc etc etc...

Never again will Lotus Pier be sieged—not if Jiang Cheng has anything to say about it.

This was not planned to be done on mother's day, but here we are! Mermadame Yu having a moment with baby Jiang Cheng! :)

@not-rude-ginger thank you for your ideas and help! ❤

She is cradling her son Jiang Cheng (toddler age) in her arms, holding him up against her shoulder for a nap. Both their faces have peaceful and soft expressions. Zidian is curled around the end of her tail in the ring-bracelet-combination used in the The Untamed. Her hair is in a canon-adjacent hairdo and decorated with anemones and pieces of coral. End ID.]

Can't help but think about how much of Jiang Cheng’s 'I am nothing without my core' outburst when he wakes up after losing it is not because he needs to be the best but because he just lost the only thing he could do for his mother after she died. If it would've mattered less to him once he'd gotten the time to mourn her loss. If he stays up at night thinking about how all his accomplishments so far were possible because of Wei Wuxian's core, and how that would've disappointed her even more. If he thinks that she would've let Wei Wuxian give him his core had she been around back then, and feels an old but horribly familiar anger burn through him. If he still curses her for her last words to Wei Wuxian and curses himself for parroting them. If he curses Wei Wuxian for believing them.

Can't help but wonder if his dedication to the sect was to protect its people and those who depended on it just as much as it was about continuing a legacy, upholding his duty. If he really did all that to make his dead mother proud and earn his dead father's respect, if these considerations ever took first place in the light of day where he had a sect and a nephew to look after, or got relegated to the late hours when he lay awake, haunted by the past. Can't help but wonder if he ever saw Jin Ling cry, realised that his own mother would've scolded him for showing weakness, and decided that what she thought mattered less than he'd realised.

Can't help but wonder how much his mother still haunts his life.

when people see my purple and violet bracelet and other stationary they ask me "Aww. Are you a BTS fan? Army?"

I say "yes and no , i do like bts but purple is for another character"

Purple for me is yunmeng Jiang , jiang yanli and jiang cheng.

you know what bought the most pain to me that had me really sobbing into my pillow in mo dao zu shi? (which is a lot cause that series is a rollercoaster ride of pain thorough and thorough).

jiang fengmain's last words.

'a-ying, a-cheng (in cql: and a-li)... you must look after him,'

it wasn't the words themselves. what hurt me was wei wuxian not batting an eye at them (except agreeing to them most naturally) in all of the adaptations.

not; 'look after yourselves,' or 'look after one another,'

look after them.

i love the jiang family as much as everyone (except madam yu, as much as i love the complexity of her character, i just can't bring myself to like her), but that shit hurt so so much.

(i love you xianxian, hope you take care of yourself and let your husband spoil you rotten.)

i'm the most introverted a human being can get but, ironically enough, wwx is the one i relate the most to in mdzs.

jiang cheng: ok, so the sect leaders and wei wuxian and everyone important are all coming to lotus pier... i have to look tough and scary and intimidating... oh, i know just the thing!!

coincidence? i think not

I'm going to start a series refuting crimes characters are accused of using textual evidence. Bring me a character from MDZS who was accused of a crime, who you believe is innocent, and if I think their case is valid, I will provide their defense for you. For example, did Jiang Cheng really keep a dungeon of demonic cultivators to torture and kill? Is Wei Wuxian really a mass murderer? Is he responsible for the deaths of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan? Did Yu Ziyuan abuse Wei Wuxian? Did Nie Mingjue really abuse Jin Guangyao and Nie Huaisang? Is Jin Guangyao really culpable for all the things he feels guilty for? Did Qin Su drug Jin Guangyao? Did Su She really steal Lan techniques? These are things I've seen characters be accused of by real people, or in the story by other characters/narration.

Bring me characters and crimes that either people in real life have accusations about or are accused within the story. If you're interested and have no idea which false crimes to suggest, look at what Sect Leader Yao says, he accuses most people in the story of things they didn't do.

Consider me a potential defense attorney for your MDZS blorbo and send me an Ask with their name, crime, and why you think, or want, them to be innocent.
