#I adore him so damn much
Text
In a previous post of mine, I talked about Jiang Cheng's insecurity surrounding the Golden Core and how that anxiety is built around the fact that there are no more miracles for him. And I wanted to talk about miracles in the MDZS universe and also why I adore the way Wei Wuxian is written as a protagonist.
Jiang Cheng receiving a new Golden Core in place of his melted one is held up as a miracle in the narrative, until the truth behind it is eventually revealed. And we very easily buy into this miracle, because... well, Wei Wuxian is the Protagonist, isn't he? He is an orphan son of the disciple of the only named immortal in the entire novel universe and surely that plays a role! A protagonist has an inheritance, a prophecy, a special weapon - something that inherently gives them an edge, something to pull out of their arsenal when all seems lost.
So when Wei Wuxian solves the issue of Jiang Cheng's lost Golden Core by calling on a promised gift from his mother's immortal master, it does not seem far fetched or even too unbelievable. But the very act of it, is framed as a miracle by the writing style - the anonymity, Jiang Cheng taking Wei Wuxian's name and essentially his birthright, the secrecy and mysteriousness that surrounds the entire scene. Just look at this line from the novel,
BaoShan SanRen, a legendary celestial who had lived for hundreds of years, a secluded master who was said to be able to revive the dead, give flesh to bones!
So, we are led to believe that this is the purpose of Wei Wuxian's birth identity - the connection to the mysterious immortal we never meet. The Protagonist's past comes into the play and saves the day - or so we are led to believe.
The second reason why the miracle does not come across as unbelievable, is due to the Yi City arc, wherein we meet two characters who had a pretty similar encounter as Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. We know - even before we know about Lotus Pier's fall and Jiang Cheng losing his Core - of how Xiao Xingchen begged his master for a miracle, to return Song Zichen his eyes.
However, while the narrative is building for us the belief that Jiang Cheng getting a new Core is not impossible, Yi City also simultaneously shows us that even miracles from immortals come at a price. Xiao Xingchen does not get Song Zichen a new pair of eyes - he essentially offers his own. So even then, we know that miracles are not that easy of a fix as we think them to be.
Nevertheless, the miracle that Wei Wuxian calls upon is essentially pushed to the back of our minds as the plot unravels - and right up to the Second Siege, we don't pay it much mind. But then, the Core Reveal happens, and everything comes crashing.
The core of the miracles in MDZS universe, is that miracles don't exist and fix things for us - the only thing we can do, is create those miracles for ourselves. The Protagonist with the mysterious bloodline is an irrelevant trope to define Wei Wuxian, because it does not lend anything to him - he has no miracles in his arsenal, only his own wit and mind. And that is what he does. He creates the miracle for Jiang Cheng, and that miracle comes at a tremendous price.
But it is also at the very soul of who Wei Wuxian is as a character and a person - he is defined by his brilliance and his refusal to let tragedy frame the way he lives his life. He does not have miracles waiting for him to call upon - but he damn well will create them.
This trope about the miracle also ties into his invention of the ghost path. It's not this special, secret knowledge passed down by a powerful predecessor ( in novel canon that is ) - it is a path he creates in a pure bid to survive the unsurvivable. He is in a place that should have meant both painful death and no peace for his soul, even if he had the advantage of a golden core - and he takes what he is handed, and creates a new path of cultivation.
Wei Wuxian as a protagonist is characterized by how active he is in his choices and decisions - he is not someone who just was 'special' because of bloodline or prophecy. He earns every bit of his power, and he exemplifies the kind of protagonist who chooses his destiny and is never handed anything on a platter - in fact, his social status in the MDZS universe dictates that he will forever be 'son of a servant' as far as they are concerned. However, this lack of privileges and miracles does not bother Wei Wuxian, nor does it deter him - He is still the Master of the Six Arts. He is still one of the most powerful cultivators of his generation. He is a genius who invented his own path of cultivation. His theories changed how night hunting worked. His inventions were prized and enviously sought. And every bit of that is a result of the hard work and dedication he put into himself - not a miracle.
#wei wuxian#mdzs#is it even a surprise that I am a simp for this man#I adore him so damn much#golden core reveal#golden core transfer#golden core#jiang cheng#canon jiang cheng

i got souyo brainworms again and i gotta share some thoughts i have
this ones a long one so ill put a 'keep reading' thing here just in case yall dont wanna scroll past a wall of text
basically some headcanons about a healthy mix of chad narukami and normal yu, injecting loads of gap moe into this guy
(and it eventually devolves into some weird semi-story because my brains really spiralling here)
okok so, hear me out, chad narukami isnt that bad as an idea...? maybe as a more calm iteration, just another layer to yu
in the p4 manga, we get to see some of yu's backstory. (its been a while since ive read it so i might get some details wrong but) his parents are very busy people, always working and moving around, so yu's always moving around with them
because of this, hes a very independent but also lonely kid. poor guy doesnt talk much with his own mom and dad, and he never really have a good enough chance to form lasting friendships
so when he moves to inaba and starts making friends there, hes like 'oh i really want to keep these guys around...' so he starts putting up a bit of a persona (hah), some cool, unfazed guy that everyone can rely on thinking thats what people might like more. to his credit, it works pretty well, but its a bit stifling for yu himself. hes never had this many friends though, so he'll keep it up
we all know yosuke admires him quite a fair bit as is, just as a dependable friend and a strong leader. he looks up to yu in these aspects, thinking hes basically the perfect guy. (and lets never unpack that thought.) talented, charming, 'gets all the ladies', that kind of stuff
at some point its just the two of them, maybe walking home from school or something, yu gets pretty comfortable and his facade slips a little. maybe he says something completely silly, or heavens forbid theres a stray cat along the road! ("awww look at the little guy, cmeree, pspsps- oh- ahem- uh, its pretty cute...") it surprises yosuke quite a bit. he's thinking about it a lot as they part ways, it was... definitely a new side to his partner, but its also not a bad thing...
after that, yosuke starts noticing more small things about yu. whenever he invites anyone to share his lunch, its always something they like. whenever the IT are talking, he makes sure no one feels left out. he likes cats, a lot more than hes willing to show, and he loves nanako a whole lot too. his partner's... a bit of a softie under that calm and collected vibe, isnt he?
(alternatively, it'd be really funny if the entire IT knew? like "yeah, hes got a straight face all the time and sparkles fly around him whenever he strikes a pose, but hes got a dedicated schedule for hanging out with us and hes always asking when we're free. hes a big puppy, really.")
anyways, yosuke tries to encourage him to show more of this other side of him. stuff like "c'mon, we'll think you're cool either way!" and yu at first is a little hesitant, so yosuke suggests he just try it out with him
he feels some pride about it, because hes the first to learn about this side of yu! his partner trusts him the most, hes the most comfortable around him! (whats this strange other feeling? hm. dont like that.)
yu takes a little more time with the others, but theyre very welcoming about it nonetheless. specifically, they find it very charming! (making cute shapes in your bento? sewing cute stuffed toys with kanji? playing with literally every single stray cat you lay your eyes on? hell yeag.)
of course the facade doesnt completely shatter, because some parts of it are still true to yu. its just that he'll now crack the dumbest joke youve heard in your life with the same old straight face
(aaand now to derail for the sappy stuff huhuhu)
because yosuke's usually the first to be exposed to whatever new shenanigans yu's up to, eventually he starts getting some... weirder things. he brings some of it up to the other IT members and he looks insane, like:
"what? he hasnt been giving you guys origami?"
"why would he? i mean itd be cool, but thats just his part-time job isnt it? hes probably sick of paper cranes!"
"cranes... haha, yeah..." (as he thinks about the row of stupid paper animals sitting on his windowsill)
yu over time starts getting real sweet with yosuke, and he kind of gets the feeling he should just... keep this to himself...? especially when he doesnt see him acting this way with anyone else, and a small part of him wants to keep it to himself. all of this, just for him.
but that would be kind of gay, wouldnt it? hes not gay, is he...? he gets pretty happy whenever yu smiles at him, whenever he does something for him, but its just because he appreciates him as his partner... right?
eventually it all comes to a head when yu invites him to that... that spot high up in inaba. (ykno the one, its got the railing and shit.)
yosuke's climbing the hill, wondering whats yu gonna tell him, and at the top he sees him already waiting there as the sun's about to set on a nice breezy day
he kinda jokes a bit about it, like "damn did you ask me to come here now for the atmosphere?" but yu's strangely quiet
so they kinda just stand in a bit of an awkward silence before yu clears his throat... and confesses to yosuke.
...
they just. stare at each other for a bit. yosuke's at a loss, heat slowly rising in his cheeks, because what the hell?
and then yu explodes into a flustered mess, bumbling about "hey yeah man you dont have to accept if you dont wanna, i was just saying things yknow? you dont really have to-"
yosuke cuts him off, sighing a little. he tells him its okay, hes kinda had a feeling he felt the same way but he wasnt ready yet... and now his partner's confessing to his face, he cant really put it off anymore, can he?
("by the way, did you plan this? like, the timing and everything?"
"i... had a hard enough time saying 'i like you' with a straight face as it was, i kind of had to..."
"... ah.")
#ive never done this kind of headcanon dumping before so it feels kind of embarrassing???#like my attitude going into this was “hell yeah! im gonna expand on yu so much because he has a lot of potential and i adore him!”#and i came out of it thinking like how i always do#sappy fluff and making dolls kiss 🙄#i cant even guarantee ill remember my own damn headcanons bc ive always been one to prefer lighthearted silly stuff#hence me avoiding writing dialogue when i can... especially that confession bit#eugh...#anyways i just hope yall enjoy my thoughts haha#persona 4#souyo#yu narukami#yosuke hanamura#farts and sharts

i've seen vampire bruce stories, and i've seen bruce is not actually a vampire but everyone else thinks he is stories, and now i'm just thinking a human bruce with his very batty(Iliterally) vampire children hanging around under his cape like adorable little terrifying shadow creatures whose eyes glow in the dark
#just lil tiny claws gripping onto his cape that can deflect bullets#or maybe he has perches on his back his children can hang onto when they go under the cape#he flashes people in the sense that he typically curls his cape around him and then just opens it up randomly to show off his children#kind of like a drug dealer but like look its friggin bats#i just think bruce w his children as bats is adorable#bruce would pet and cuddle the shit out of his floofly lil gremlin children#they probably scare tf out of the JL lol just dark shadows with glowing eyes peeking out at them from bruce's cape during meetings#everyone in the JL probably think hes a vampire but he's just a guy that coincidentally adopts a lot of vampire children#batkids love their human father as much as they fear for his mortality#haha just thinking about if bruce gets close to death batkids would probably freak tf out and try to turn him#but other batkids would remind them that bruce wouldn't have wanted it so they just wait to hear updates instead#well damn things got a bit dark there#bruce wayne#batman#batfam#batfamily

hey random thought but I was looking at the overseer description on the rain world wiki and it said that the green overseers only spawn in outer expanse and subterranean and that got me thinking
unlike spearmaster who had srs watching over them through the red overseer (until pebbles zap it outta existence) Hunter didn’t have any overseer watching over them
That means that Nsh wouldn’t know for sure if Hunter succeed in the mission because Hunter never made it back home, either succumbing to the rot or passing on through the void sea and Siggy wasn’t watching his cat unlike Suns
Nsh probably thought that once Moon wakes up, she could message the entire local group again however, Moon’s collapse left her in a state where she couldn’t communicate with the other iterators even after her revival
I mean, to cut slack for Nsh. Pebbles did put the entire region into lockdown (see five pebbles dialogue for when gourmand first enters the cann) so he probably couldn’t get in with Hunter but still
from Nsh’s perspective moon’s fate is uncertain. His hunter’s fate is uncertain.
Maybe he saw the little messenger going through subterranean which meant that Hunter probably succeeded. Maybe the last he has seen if his slugcat was before the Hunter entered the region and Hunter hasn’t returned home yet nor did Moon showed any signs of activity.
Maybe his plan worked and the keys were delivered. He wouldn’t know for sure…
basically all I’m saying is that Nsh feels like the person who would had definitely thrown more (hopefully non-cancerous) slugcats towards Moon instead of tossing Hunter and the angstiest option for why he didn’t was because he thought his plan fail as Hunter will never go home in the base game and Moon couldn’t communicate her revive
UGH YES!!! i hc that you can still see sig’s overseers sometimes in subterranean/outer expanse is because she’s still…well, desperately searching. at first for a sign of hunter, and then for a sign of moon when he realizes hunter’s probably not returning, or perhaps a way to get into the facility to see if his plan even worked.
part of the reason i think hunter was so sick is just because by the time sig made her, his facility wasn’t in the best shape, and he was rushing, desperate to save moon. in the note she sends her it literally says “excuse the unorthodox delivery method, equipment eroding etc etc”. i truly do not believe sig is “bad at making slugcats” or “didn’t follow suns’ instructions” because his dialogue PROVES THAT HE CAME UP WITH THE CONCEPT FIRST. (sorry that shit grinds my gears when ppl brush sig off as either stupid or malicious when it comes to hunter) because like…this mission is SO important to her. why the hell would he make hunter sick, therefore limiting her time to get to moon and possibly causing her death before she could reach her goal?
hunter’s last wish in the void sea is to be back in sig’s arms. if he were truly malicious/didn’t show respect for her messengers, why would hunter want to return? so yeah, seeing his overseer out in the outer expanse, searching for hunter or a sign of moon being alive just ;-;
i don’t rlly think she sent more messengers after that, mainly bc he knows any slugcats he makes after hunter will likely meet the same fate due to the erosion of her equipment/the fact he thinks “there will be nothing left of moon by the time one is ready”. sig just breaks my heart because she tried and tried and tried, reaching out as far as he could, and still never knew if his plan even worked. i’m gonna stop here bc if i keep talking i am going to be writing a goddamn essay that would be better than anything i ever turned in in university LMFAO i have so many goddamn Feelings about no significant harassment rain world.
also me n ghost are actually doing an rp that’s kind of like this lmfao, and in it the reason hunter gets sick is because sig basically works herself so hard she ends up damaging his structure and the sudden power failure/shutdown affects his experiments. (obviously that has no basis in canon and is more just us writing fanfiction about what could have possibly happened)
anyways after all that angst, here is a screenshot from my game where sig’s overseer showed up and sees moon bringing sluppy hunter home :’) in my dreams i can pretend she made it back LMFAO
#THIS GAME HURTS ME SO MUUUUCH#GOD I LOVE IT#GOD I LOVE SIG#i could literally write essays about sig’s personality and motives and stuff like#do not get me wrong. i love the silly memey jokester personality the fandom gives her…but that is covering up so much grief and anger that#it’s clearly just a mask he’s using to seem okay…as much as i hate the whole ‘happy character is actually sad’ trope#i absolutely adore sig. i love making him goofy and sweet but god is he carrying so much angst on his shoulders#tbh he really gets the short end of the damn stick in game…at least suns gets their messenger back lol#anyways yeah. i love my goofy bioengineer who loves his friends and tries to keep the mood light but in the end just gets crushed w grief#HOUGH. HUNTERS CAMPAIGN IS MY FAV FOR A REASON.#rw#letters#sorry this took so long to respond to i wanted to make my thoughts at least semi organized
