"If Jiang Cheng is all about debts, he should repay his debts to Wen Qing and Wen Ning!"
What debts? The two were from a sect that decimated his own. Be it willingly or not, they occupied the burned remains of his sect and helped the war effort on the Wen side (whilst assisting WWX and JC, but bear in mind, WQ only did it begrudgingly due to the risks associated with asissiting them. It's funny that y'all would jump to her defence whilst shitting on JC when she was in the exact same position he was in btw. But that's a debate for another day~).
Expecting him to pay a debt to the people that were, to at least some degree, complicit in numerous genocides is pretty messed up.
Even then, JC DID vouch for them to express his gratitude for helping him and WWX to escape and get their parent's remains back. But the other leaders shut him down when he did and scoffed at him. I feel like I've said this so many times on here, but he was in no position to argue any further on the matter. Especially when a more established sect leader like LXC was shut down, too.
As for the core transfer that he didn't consent to, how can he thank someone for that when he never knew it had happened in the first place?? Or asked for, for that matter?? The whole thing made him feel shitty anyway when he found out about it.
WQ and WWX, although both had good intentions, still had no right to experiment on him like that and keep this very invasive secret from him for so long, too. You can't just do something for someone without them knowing or consenting and expect them to repay that "debt" when you find yourself in a pinch. That's kinda like blackmail and is very coercive.. Something WWX and the Wen sibs are certainly not..
Then there's the situation with WN. Sure, he could be thankful for WN helping to get him to safety and treating his wounds (which, see my earlier point, JC did express gratitude.) But that opportunity kinda all fizzled out when WN killed JZX (I know it was an accident due to him being under the influence of DC but let's be real. That resentment is going to be there. Espeically since the topic greatly upsets JL soooo).
Even all that aside, you seriously can't expect JC to "repay his debts" and help WN and WQ out of that situation when the whole CW was against them. Helping them was suicidal and would bring on the wrath of the other major sects. And we all saw how that went for WWX (as JC rightly predicted)..
Had JC sided with the Wens and took them in to "pay his debts," he would have dragged the whole of his sect into the siege that happened soon after. This would mean more innocents would have been involved, and it would be the destruction of Lotus Pier all over again (and quite possibly the destruction of the Jiang, too). JC had to prioritise his own people. He would be a shit leader otherwise.
I feel as though some of y'all put some unrealistic expectations on JC when assessing his character. Especially when you compare him to the others in the story (returning back to my point I made earlier about him and WQ and how similar they both are).
On the topic of "debts" though, I would also like to argue that doing a good deed out of the kindness of your heart shouldn't be seen as a debt. And if you do something with the expectation that someone would do something for you back in kind, wouldn't that make you a shitty person? Is that what you're implying the Wen sibs are (or should be) ? Self-serving people who only help others if something is to be gained? 🤨
But what about the "debt" JC goes on about, you might ask? Oh, you mean the PROMISE that WWX made HIMSELF? That he would stay by JC's side? And be his subordinate? To fulfil his role as promised and expected of him?
That wasn't a debt.
WWX construed it as being one, but it doesn't fit the criteria, honestly. What WWX had was an obligation. He made that promise himself, and JC held him to it. It wasn't one JC forced him into as some form of servitiude, nor was it made in return for bed and board or something.
We know JC isn't truly about holding debts over others. If he was, he would have dangled his own sacrifice over WWX and used that to guilt trip him instead. Or force him to pay him back in kind. But he never did. Why? Because he loved WWX, and he didn't want him to feel "indebted" to him. Especially when WWX revealed his feelings of "letting go and moving on" to him.
You could go on forever about debts and who owes who what, but the thing is, each of these characters have hurt eachother in one way or another that at this point, the notion of who owes what doesn't matter anymore. The situation is far more complex than that. That's why all "debts" were dropped at the end, and JC and WWX just moved on. I feel that was the message MXTX tried to convey in her work. About moving on and letting go of grudges. Perhaps JC antis should take on that advice? And move on too?

I love Wangxian as much as the next guy, but my unpopular MDZS opinion is that both LWJ & WWX after the resurrection were really shitty brothers. Both to their own brothers and to each other's.
Like...JC just threw himself in front of WWX & his boyfriend & Jiggy's sword & took a stab to the chest just narrowly missing his heart, & Wei Wuxian DIDN'T EVEN ASK HIM HOW HE IS! I'm sure JC didn't want him to thank him, but totally ignoring that & forgetting about it is... you know, not fine. even LXC was more worried about his wound. After the temple, when everyone was talking to everyone else, & WWX thanked JC for giving Chenqing back to him, he doesn't even wait until JC's answer is fully out before he immediately turns back to look at LWJ!
Even JL who wasn't talking to JC at that moment saw that JC had something to say! But WWX not only didn't give him a chance to talk, but didn't even have any interest in what he had to say, and wouldn't listen to him just like all the other times when JC tried to talk to him (Repeatedly reminding WWX of his promise & even asking why didn't you go back to Lotus Pier). As you try to do, after you brother has returned from the dead, after causing his own death, your sister's and your brother-in-law's. WWX doesn't think that that's an issue that they need to talk about. Because it's unpleasant for him. While he is not the one who's owed an explanation or an apology. He's not the one who gets to decide if they're having this conversation or not. Let alone asking about JC's wound! WWX! just! Left! With! His boyfriend! & didn't look back! Not even after JC's public meltdown!
Tumblr media
And and, what's worse, for both LWJ & WWX is this! Here is what happens when JC is trying to have a conversion with WWX about the non-consensual surgery WWX performed on him by mutilating himself on JC's behalf:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why yes, he is injured, Hanguang-Jun! He's injured because he threw himself in front of WWX & you little fuck!
He does this once, and it causes JC's wound to open and start bleeding again, and then he goes to do it again!
It's a matter that seriously needs discussion, Hanguang-Jun. JC's world has turned upside down without him having a say in it or even being told about it for years, Hanguang-Jun. JC has every right to talk about it to the person responsible, Hanguang-Jun. It's a family matter, Hanguang-Jun.
And ffs What do you think WWX's brother wants to do to him?! After he took a stab to the chest for him?! He is wounded and his spiritual energy is sealed, what can he do? He's going through it right now in front of everyone. why would you humiliate him even more?! They're brothers! It's none of your business!
And WWX doesn't say anything! It's Jin Ling who must beg Hanguang-Jun to spare his uncle!
(I think they understood what a shitty move it was in the CQL, cause WWX at least lifts a hand to stop LWJ there. And LWJ doesn't actually push JC, opening his wound again, And then try to do it A SECOND TIME AFTER THAT!)
Like...Beating someone's family member in front of them is a very, very rude thing in general when they're themselves handling the situation very well. They were just having a family argument, and LWJ felt the need to beat JC. If you want to de-escalate a family argument, you do it the way JGY does. Or LSZ, A CHILD, de-escalates situations. While respecting both parties. Or else it just escalates even worse.
And this happened at the Jiang ancestral halls, too. WWX was the first to attack JC (which was totally within his brotherly rights when JC was being a little shit) and JC counter-attacked. JC's spiritual powers, unlike WWX's and LWJ's, hadn't returned yet. WWX totally got this. It wasn't their first time fighting. OK, LWJ deflected the first blow of Zidian. He didn't need to intervene further when WWX was beating JC in JC'S ancestral hall. WWX himself passed out when he realized wtf he was doing. (& bear in mind that hours ago, JC with his spiritual powers sealed, barely able to walk, picked his sword and was going to go back for WWX in the burial mounds, before he knew about the golden core thing)
Imagine your friend invites you to their home which they've ran away from when they were very young, their sibling that now owns the house lets you in even though you don't even say hi to them or acknowledge their existence there in anyway, & your friend invites you to somewhere you really have no business being in. IDK. Say, the master bedroom that's been locked ever since their parents' death. Your friend's sibling arrives there and they have an argument. You get offended in the crossfire but your friend leaps in to protect your honor, by beating the said sibling. The said sibling beats back. Can you imagine actually beating the sibling?! Trying to separate them, sure. But beating them?!
& others have talked in depth & better than I about how LXC just murdered the love of his life after some very shocking revelations & was 100% ready to die with him & was clearly going through it & LWJ just left with his boyfriend to fuck when LXC was the one who was there for him when HIS boyfriend died. Like..no LWJ didn't leave his brother after a few days. HE LEFT HIM THAT VERY MOMENT! DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HIM A HANDKERCHIEF OR A PAT ON THE SHOULDER!
And people have also talked better than I about how WWX didn't tell LXC about Sisi bc...he might have shown JGY mercy?

My for real controversial mdzs opinion of the week click if you want
There's so much stupid "meta" out there that judges lwj / jc (and oftentimes wwx too but I think that's kind of automatically bs because he doesn't raise a yuan on his own at all??) by their "parenting skills" and completely ignores that . They're not actually parents! Lmfao!! It's a common enough joke in the fandom but when drawn into actual analysis it completely misses that they're not the kids' parents and they're not TRYING TO BE. I mentioned this before but I wish people would acknowledge that part of the reason sizhui turned out so well is because lwj enlisted the help of his entire support system -- it's not like he was a struggling single dad singlehandedly looking after a kid..? And this is completely subverted when talking about jc, who had relatively no support system at the time and was still shouldering a ton of responsibility as sect leader that lwj didn't have to deal with at all! Completely different scenarios!!
Jc is a "shitty parent" because he's not trying to be a parent! He doesn't even want to think of replacing jl's parents so instead he circles around the role while raising him like he probably would if jyl and jzx had lived and filling in the gaps along the way the best he could probably with fear of overstepping.
Idk a lot of my mutuals have mentioned seeing posts surrounding this subject lately and it's just like. Such a weird thing to critique on imo because I feel like it's pretty realistic?? I mean personally if I had to suddenly raise my sibling's newborn baby alone because all of my immediate family had been killed in a single night I daresay I would probably do a worse job than jc but who knows maybe some people out there are built different

jiang cheng loves his brother and like 85% of their shitty communication problems are in fact wwx’s fault but fandom is not ready for this conversation yet
I am literally beating back the urge to completely agree with you because Jiang Cheng is my precious baby boy and I love him and will defend him until the heat death of the universe BUT in an arduous effort to be fair, it's probably not 85%.
Maybe 75%.
Joking aside, there is in fact enough blame to go around. No matter what WWX-stans/JC-antis say, for every instance where JC is harsh and nasty, there is another one where WWX is maddeningly avoidant. For every instance where JC threatens violence, there is another one where WWX is deliberately provoking. In the novel, JC is more constantly short and violence-threatening, but then again, WWX is more obnoxious and deliberately troublesome. CQL gives us Wang Zhuocheng's wobbly lower lip and Xiao Zhan's natural heroic charisma to soften the characters, but even then, they clearly are used to relating to each other via squabbles and fights.
But I digress.
Perhaps everything was destined for tragedy no matter what, but I *am* sure that approximately 85% of the bad blood between the brothers could have been avoided if WWX had simply lied one more fucking time and made up a PERFECTLY BELIEVABLE LIE that he, too, had had his core crushed before being tossed in the Burial Mounds. JC already KNEW he'd been caught by the Wen; it would have been easy to believe- NAY, EXPECTED!- that such a thing might occur. And sure, JC would probably angst about "using up WWX's one chance to get a favor from Baoshan Sanren etc, etc..." but that sure as hell would have been easier issue for the two to weather.
As I've said before, the more fundamental problem is the very different personality types that WWX and JC are, specifically in how WWX unhealthily avoids any unplesantness whereas JC holds on to it obsessively. To repeat myself, the single biggest tragedy in their relationship-- YES even more than lack of communication-- is that WWX forgets everything but JC remembers everything. WWX is by nature an out of sight out of mind person whereas JC is a hold onto every single word action and interaction until the heat death of the universe person. WWX looks at JC and thinks he's not loved because JC won't forgive and forget, and JC looks at WWX and thinks he's not loved because WWX forgets every heartfelt thing he's ever said to him.
I have a perfectly normal amount of feelings about this and these two idiots.

I’m so torn on whether I want there to be an angsty desperate mid-season kiss before the resolution just to make us scream or drag the tension out til right after the resolution when everything is Finally Settled For Good and rain is falling and Aziraphale can make his apology/confession and it’s slow and tender and deep
(either way, if the Penultimate Kiss isn’t a 360-degree revolving shot I don’t want it, v much convinced that was what Neil wanted to do for the Final Fifteen before he changed his mind)
i genuinely daydream about this (and s3 in general) an ungodly amount (do i just need to pull on my big girl pants and dive into the foray of writing fic??? probably) and try to juggle what would make sense for the narrative and the characters, and make it less about what i want to see from s3 personally ep1 sex scene cold open + '7 days earlier titlecard'
babes i know this is not at all what you asked for (tldr at the bottom) but bugger it im gonna write out where im currently at with the whole 'i would give all my worldly goods for s3 to go something like this'
(and if i ever write fic consider this basically the framework) (and therefore is half serious half bants) (and if nothing else helps keep meta/speculation straight in my head - imagining it all in context):
ep1 cold opens with another BTB flashback but set after the s2 one (aziraphale and crowley arguing about the brewing rebellion for example, aziraphale tries to warn him again etc, no wing lift), and then hard cut to modern day aziraphale, stood in the exact same position but alone, in his new regalia blah blah blah, roll opening theme
so ep1 is likely gonna be a fair bit of exposition of the second coming, right? maybe there's a timeskip? either way we get glimpses into their existences in the After. im undecided whether crowley would remain in london, or specifically the bookshop? (i think he would, because there's opportunity for a mirror of the 'he saved my books' moment - ie. not let muriel sell a single one - which im sure you can imagine could be Delicious later on), but in any case i think crowley - given that he's keeping tabs on tadfield etc in s2 - would start noticing that maybe the world isn't quite right, Loads of people have started going missing (also dropped as clues in s2), natural disasters etc. Hmm This Is Strange
meanwhile, we get a bit of insight into aziraphale's daily headache in heaven, until they finally get the fax from 'god' about the plane carrying the big JC (and, look, Whoever it is that gets off the plane, whatever theory you subscribe to, let's say hypothetically it's absolutely not jezzy c and aziraphale knows it... warlock? idk). aziraphale realises it's all gone A Bit Wrong, ah shit gonna need to talk to crowley.... rolls credits
(plus im sure there will be new characters plus possible reintroductions of previous ones etc etc that will need screentime)
so they don't interact at all until ep2, not until maybe like 10 mins in - muriel calls mr crowley, he gets to the bookshop and walks in
aziraphale waiting in there, casual as you like with a dainty cupperty (wrong, he's shitting himself), and there's the awkward moment of 'oh when we were last here alone you snogged the living daylights out of me', but they're very much Not Talking (About It)
aziraphale explains what's going on, it's all going wrong, They Can't Find Josh, crowley probably gets a bit shitty with a bit of 'i told you so', aziraphale gets pissed off too because 'he's kinda got a point', but regardless please help
i think crowley would initially refuse - why would he want to be involved at all??? in ending humanity once and for all??? - and would probably leave after a bit of a wessex-flashback-callback of 'we're not having this conversation'/'fine'/'fine!'
idk maybe aziraphale would go back to heaven and start to reeeeeally panic, because the guy they've got in heaven is definitely Not The Messiah, and aziraphale needs to find Him before shit really hitteth the fan, but he needs someone on earth to help him (sigh better go back and ask crowley again)
crowley meanwhile takes this information and possibly works out that actually lol turns out the second coming came a bit early, and yeah probably do need to find him before the world starts going completely to shit - aziraphale comes back and crowley agrees this time (✨a new Arrangement✨) (OH 'THE ARRANGEMENT' WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD EP TITLE)
but it's like. The Arrangement if it was truly all Just Business - they're Not Friends etc
maybe crowley going back to hell in reconnaissance mode would feature here? deploys the beloved tactical turtleneck again? ends up claiming the grand duke position or something? or has been grand duke all along? idk
now i would LOVE another long cold open of flashbacks, but idk if that's gonna happen, probably not. but possibly ep3 is them strategising, sharing intel, Still Not Talking, trying to put the pieces together (i still convinced that warlock/greasy johnson are gonna fit in here somewhere so like. return to tadfield? ripe opportunity to bring back The Them, Anathema/Newt etc)
REVERSE WALL SLAM and maybe a little bit of a spat where some of the anger from the final fifteen is let loose or something - but nothing resolved
probably some more shenanigans of shit going down in heaven, with Cheesus running rampant - angels starting to wonder wtf is going on (and god still has her out of office email on)
maybe the end of ep3 is that they work out what's happening - who JC is, where he is, why the second coming has already started, idk but like major plot pieces start slotting together
so ep4 is where it starts getting hazy but like. i feel that this is gonna be roundabout the time where aziraphale and crowley are in the bookshop researching like mad, trying to piece stuff together, come up with Plans, and maybe crowley goes looking in aziraphale's desk, and unearths the Photo - CUE 1941 FINAL FLASHBACK
and then we return maybe to present day? and this is where they finally get out all the shit that has been building up over the centuries, and culminated in the final fifteen - all the times they've upset the other, lied to the other, etc
tender bit towards the end of this - i need a "my dear" or even BETTER a "darling" thrown in here somewhere
however. i don't think there will be a kiss. a lot of shouting, crying, and maybe yeah stuff coming to some kind of tentative resolution/understanding, but not a kiss. idk i just don't think they'd be ready for it - they might come close to it, like i suspect happened in 41, but they both just honestly say they're not ready but that they meant what they said and that their One Day is coming, they're not done, they're not over 🥹🥹
nownownow hmmmm - end of ep4? angels/demons both come for them; shit's going on in the background, they've twigged this time they're Up To Something, and this time the bookshop isn't protected as it should be - get their arses hauled up to heaven. and major thing? metatron/crowley showdown - not a physical one but a...... 'oh didn't he tell you, aziraphale?'
EP5 LONG ASS COLD OPEN OF THE WAR AND THE FALL
book of life explanation in here somewhere idk
and then yeah maybe a bit of a pinnacle moment for aziraphale of choosing crowley after whatever is revealed from the fall? because he's keeping his promise dammit and he's choosing their side, always their side
firefight out of heaven (if aziraphale falls in the process im gonna throw hands but also. mmmm whump material) and maybe then the 360 kiss? bc you're so right and i totally agree - im glad they didn't do it for s2, but i do think it was initially intended and I Need It
someone gets injured probably but they all flee down to the bookshop and start preparing for whatever is about to come - heaven and hell vs. them/humanity etc. plus the dream sequence of the bookshop will never leave my mind Ever
idk if they'd stay there tho, maybe get back out to tadfield. further heart to heart probably after the whole fall, all cards on the table, 'is there still an us'/'of course there is you old silly' thing
and whilst i don't think ep6 will be like a huge battle, seems a bit ooc, Shit Goes Down, largely gets resolved in the first half just like s1. vavoom (not that kinda vavoom) (maybe) sorted
second coming gets sorted. idk how. but it does
id love for there to actually be some kind of interaction with god? in a way? even if she just stays silent, and they basically just come to their own conclusions about What The Point Is, and she just. smiles like the mona lisa
then the rest of ep6 is just. pure south downs
kiss
OOOOH a kiss outside the front door of their new yellow cottage (i live and die by the yellow cottage aesthetic) (because it's ✨pretty✨) AND IT'S RAINING BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE THERE'S A CUTE LITTLE GABLE PORCH OVER THEIR FRONT DOOR now there's a Vavoom
and another
oh go on then have another. and a cuddle. artful shot of them waking up of a sunny peaceful morning in bed together snuggling (ft. tasteful duvet/blanket draping? yes pls)
end of s3 has them slow dancing in the lounge/kitchen (in the GARDEN???) to The Song and the nightingale flies away from the windowsill outside (you can pry this visual away from my cold dead hands)
RIGHT so this is complete overkill @silcosmoke and for that you have my most profuse apologies bestie but. tldr yes a passionate snog in the midst of Tension and Drama, and then just lots of lovely little nice ones ☺️💕

Someone refresh this fandoms definitions. Anti would be saying jc is the worst character to exist, or cursing him etc not talking about the time he told WWX to put the wens back in the camp LIKE talking about how snape is terrible for bullying kids isnt anti, yes, he was a spy for a good side, yes he also did shitty things. YES jc was once a kid who didn't do the evil his adult self committed, talking about him hitting wwx with zidian knowing it would yeet his soul right out killing him there and then ISNT ANTI when thats something he did? Being critical of something a character did in text DOES NOT mean you're being an anti wtf nor is talking about it was bad actually what he did jiang cheng bashing! if the fandom considers that bashing man they wouldn't have handled actual bashing well at all.
The sad thing is that this definitely reminds me of early FF.net days when it came to the comment section and the in fighting in those being more wild then the actual fics. The excuse there at least that most of the ones doing it were fellow children that were 12.
Ironic thing is that I don't even say he's past redemption and I will reiterate that as I speak here. He just has no need to bother Wei Wuxian and finally is mature enough to leave well enough alone. I do want better for him and think he can achieve that in some capacity, just not in the flowery way many seem to want that to be.
Nor am I personally interested in bothering with breaking that down within the context of the plot text we are given for him. When I bring up the text points, yes, he DOES vile cruel things based in hate for Wei Wuxian, Wen Ning and Lan Wangji. There is no point of the plot were he actually steps up to be better and that in itself is a trope that MXTX utilizes for many of her themes and relationships.
What I like about many of her relationships is that they are not all salvageable. To me that is realistic and cathartic, to be allowed to comfortably be told throughout a story that it is okay to have failed in a relationship and to step aside when it has come to its end after all the nasty words, actions and feelings throughout it. Catharsis is not always happy it just means being able to finally understand how you had gotten to that point and to finally let that other person go. That doesn't mean you aren't allowed to grieve about it, but you can also be relieved without guilt to step away. If that's a sad ending then good, I'm glad you have never had to come to that point in a relationship to realize nothing would ever be the same because you are too different to make it work at the bare minimum.

🔒 📙 and ⚠️ for the ask game!!
(from @the-capricious-socialite )
Hell ship! Hell ship! Hell ship!
🔒- Something one hopes that the other never finds out about.
So they both probably know this but they sort of uh, I'll call it play different sides when it comes to Bazaar related stuff. JC is literally a part of the calander council and working to dismantle the masters and reform the police and generally make flondon a better place while uh
Darcy is literally going to become Mr Cards (which JC genuinely doesn't know about.)
Granted Darcy doesn't really align with the masters for anything and he's just doing it because he likes chaos, but it's a bit of a betrayal isn't it? I'd be pissed at the least. Like he can make excuses about changing things from the inside and all of that, but he's not doing that. He's doing it for his own selfish reasons and he doesn't plan on making the neath a better place. He doesn't even care about the revolutionary cause, just what's fun.
Like, maybe he can be persuaded to be less shitty of a person? But it would be very hard. Darcy tends to keep his nicer part buried for reasons that aren't important for this ask, and I'm sure if anyone could make a case for him to be nicer it would be jc (and probably doe) but I don't know if darcy *wants* to be better.
I genuinely have no idea if this makes any sense.
📙- Favorite storyline you’ve played with the canon character(s) in it.
So full disclosure, I haven't actually played any of the rail stuff yet because im one of those sidequesting hoes. I gotta do all the sidequests before doing major stuff. So I'm gonna cheat a bit here and say I really love the interactions you can have at parties with him since uh.....I do not like the affluent photographer storyline since it clogs up my deck and doesnt change anything or give good rewards.
Deck please let me draw some favor cards at some point? I need to up my bohemians renown thank you.
⚠️- Write a warning/safety label for them.
WARNING: This ship is NOT going to end well. If you came here for laughs TOO BAD BOYO. They're about to RUIN your day. (But also maybe it'll be funny. Up in the air really.)

Something that annoys me about this “if you say this character is evil, you’re reading MDZS wrong” is that MXTX didn’t actually mean to write this “oh we’re all grey” story. She openly dislikes JGY, and she thought of JC as WWX’s crazy ex shidi with deep problems. Like, they aren’t there for you to justify their actions (god knows they did it a lot of times already) or to try to make them look good by putting them in the same bag as the protagonists just because “they’re all well fleshed and complex characters that are morally grey and flawed”.
What a way to miss MDZS’s actual message. It saddens me because WWX’s hero journey is as tragic as it is beautiful. I wish I was as brave as him, to oppose injustice even if I am alone against the world.
Yeah I totally get you anon! I’m not sure why it’s so hard for people especially in MDZS to figure out (though I have seen it for her other two works too, but not to the same extent), but she’s actually pretty clear in her work on who’s admirable and who’s not. Even when she’s deliberately using framing to get you to question what you’re hearing versus what you’re seeing, it’s pretty clear who you’re supposed to doubt the narrative about and who you’re not. Jin Guangyao is revealed as the main villain less than halfway through the book, after all!
There are works where that would be an appropriate reaction. Sometimes the heroes can too, be deeply flawed, negative people. But that’s not where MXTX is writing from and from what danmei/xianxia I’ve consumed so far, she has some of the least morally gray characters scattered through her works. She’s clearly very big on the idea that people can and will choose to do good if they want, and also that while it certainly doesn’t exempt them from flaws, that also flaws do not have to be hero killers.
Wei Wuxian is killed not because he is occasionally a little tactless and also keeps people at a distance because it is a very slow journey to trust them enough, but because his morals and willingness to stand up for them are inconvenient to the people in power. He is a flawed, well rounded character, but that’s not why he was hated or why he died. Similarly Jiang Cheng having sympathetic backstory and losses does not exempt him from being a shitty person because as we see in the novel, he’s not the only person who loses everything in his life, but he’s the one who decided to stew in it.
MXTX is so big on your choices define who you are, not your position or history. What matters most is what you do in the shadows and the light. That’s why Wei Wuxian is so heroic, he is always willing to stand by his morals even to the bitter end. It is tragic, but also it’s so full of hope, even! Look at what he has in the end of the story, it is so solidified that his choices and sacrifices did make a difference! Lan Sizhui is alive, well raised and cared for, because Wei Wuxian made that sacrifice for him. Mianmian is out living her best life with Mr. Mianmian and Mini Mianmian because she chose to follow Wei Wuxian’s bravery and has never regretted it. Jin Ling is blossoming under his patient guidance into a wonderful young man who can hold his head high with pride. It may be tragic, but so much good came from it too even if in the immediate moment it was hard to see.
And you know what, anon? We can be that too. Maybe not as far as he goes, but we can still shine bright and make the choices that have positive impacts down the road. We can be Mianmian, inspired by him to do the same that he did on the scales that we can.
The world may be a big thing to save, but we can always save little pieces of it here and there and the more of us that there are, the more powerful it becomes.

Hello! Quick question: JC-antis will prove their (insane) arguments about him by citing how the "real" JC is described in MXTX's text. I know a lot of the story revolves around the danger of rumor and hearsay, but in my English translation, the story seems to be written in 3rd person omniscient, which unfortunately seems to give their argument some weight. Could you lend me some insight regarding the original Chinese or any cultural elements that might help me defend my Fave? Thanks! <3
i mean Jiang Cheng is very much a little shit face, but is he a bad person? Hmmm no.
as far as i'm concerned, antis can say whatever they want and i just...block ppl LOL
it's hard to give really concrete evidence without digging up the real text and MDZS is....VERY LONG. And i just can't...be...bothered.
But I will say one thing about Chinese as a language. Sometimes I found that translation often made what is just "casual speech" very abrasive and aggressive and rude sounding in English.
Even just the most basic example from the show: when that dude from episode 2 fainted in the Fairy Temple, Sizhui is translated to say: hey what's wrong with you? Or something to that effect. (the only reason i can pull this up as an example is bc i recently started watching it again with a new friend who i've infected. i'm like patient 0 in this untamed epidemic that's going around in my friend circles).
Which honestly, if a person fell down in front of you and your automatic response is what's wrong with you? People would be like wtf, why are you so rude? But in Chinese, it's....not a rude thing to say. In fact that is exactly what Sizhui says: what's wrong with you/what's going on with you?
And this is Sizhui we're talking about. Like the Angelic Boy of the mdzs universe no matter which iteration.
So naturally you can see how that plus a shitty temper would make Jiang Cheng seem like an irredemable asshole.
Not to mention all the misreading into the cultural dynamic, trope dynamic that people seem to be doing left right and center. Completely heedless of the myriad of people telling them bruv, you're reading the book wrong please calm down.
It's like whenever i read a good fanfic and i see the words "Madam Yu abused Wei Wuxian" - I click (x), right away. I'm too old and too tired to deal with this kind of shit in my life.
Also the absolute projection I see in some people's analysis/fic/headcanon. Bruh....
But who am I to tell people how to live their lives? If they get more out of mdzs/cql than is intended by the author or production team, well that's none of my business. I can have selective blindness.
and do i feel show jc is a bit watered down than book jc? hmmm yeah, to an extent. but also i feel that's the thing with books right? when i read it i imagine one thing, but when i see it as a visual in the show, that's both the director's interpretation of the character as well as the actor's interpretation of the character. and i decided that it's canon enough that it's not ooc, and i actually like the show's interpretation so that's what i'm gonna stick with.

For the violence meme, 3 or 24!
oh, truly you are after my own heart because these ones are definitely salty lol.
#3 screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
now, my eyeballs have seen a lot of truly shitty takes in the past year or so on tumblr like "JC sold his sister to the Jin for political benefits" and "JYL should've somehow prevented her parents from abusing WWX," "NHS has no inner life," "Actually, JC himself should not have been upset about the golden core transfer because it wasn't a violation of his rights and privacy and he should've suspected this happened long before he was told about it" but I think my all time personal favorite if not like, the strict worst take I've seen on tumblr is that "the Lan are civilized and the Nie are barbaric" because it is implied in So Many Takes and always makes my eyes glaze over bc congratulations! it not only buys into the "the Nie were butchers and therefore carried a blood taint from their ancestors" thing which in text is meant to be prejudice. Like it's meant to be terrible, this is one of those social judgments that suck for this society not a thing that's actually real. It's about as real as the ~Uchiha Curse of Hatred~ that Tobirama is always on about in Naruto and that's entirely fictional from the get go.
It also sounds like a 12th century Song literati thinkpiece: "All the learned and intelligent men are from the south, in Suzhou and Hangzhou." "Those barbaric northerners who don't understand culture" etc etc and I've read too many of those in actual academic papers to make my eyeballs go through that again on this webbed site that I spend time on for fun.
#24 topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
For this one I honestly can't tell if JGY or Classism(TM) brings up the most terrible discourse (at least in areas of this webbed site that I frequent) but I guess the two are inextricably linked in many ways so I vote both of these. Especially since the recent "Madam Qin told JGY about the incest to hurt him specifically and bc she didn't want her daughter to marry the son of a whore" take (which objectively is the worst take I've ever seen on tumblr but thankfully I have ne'er seen it repeated so it didn't make the list up above).
*I would like to say just for reference that despite my salt and voting him as worst discourse subject I do sincerely like JGY as a character.

This is not gonna be a Jiang Cheng bashing post, imo, but it will be a JC critical one.
I’ve read the novel, but not watched any of the shows. So if I say something that doesn’t line up with the shows, but does with the novel, that’s why. That’s where I am pulling from.
So anyway, I like Jiang Cheng. Fanon Jiang Cheng, where he’s a tsundere angry grape.
Canon Jiang Cheng is someone that constantly yells and screams, threatens violence, IS violent, is a serial torturer/killer, and is just. Not a pleasant person to be around. Pretty sure he is kind of a shitty sect leader too, I seem to recall an innkeeper talking about how he never goes on night hunts unless someone dies? Ugh.
I honestly do not see how you can have a yunmeng bros reconciliation with canon Jiang Cheng. I don’t LIKE to have a reconciliation with canon JC, to me it lessens WWX’s character to have him make friends again with someone who WHIPPED AND TORTURED people for thirteen years. Maybe if you go for a canon divergence early, at the cloud recesses or maybe even the Xuanwu. Once he strangled WWX for, you know, having the absolute GALL to be alive when his parents were dead though? That’s pretty much the end for me, I can’t stand the guy after that, unless that’s what shocks him into realizing that he is in fact a terrible person and needs to act better.
Oh but he has trauma and his sect was just destroyed and his parents died! And? LXC had that happen and he didn’t strangle Wangji. Vice versa. They are brothers.
Not to mention him constantly threatening Jin Ling. Hated that the whole time too. Hecking awful. Canon JC is a terrible man.
Fanon JC is awesome and some people write him great and I can really enjoy stories where he is tsundere and not actually hateful. Where he realized his family is kinda toxic and treats WWX better.
Just…I hate post canon fics that take canon JC and then try to patch the relationship up and WWX and JC turn into friendly loving brothers. It just doesn’t work for me.
Okay I’m done. I don’t feel like arguing with internet strangers but I know that Jiang Cheng is a controversial topic sometimes so if you wanna go off, that’s fine. But like…maybe provide evidence other than ~he had trauma~ because so did literally everyone and the only other person to kill a sibling was Jin Guangyao.

ep 34 (2/2): hey guys? I think jiang cheng might be stupid
well, this isn't boring anymore I suppose
Tumblr media
this is bizzare - jc implying that lwj had some kind of shady connections to bring wwx back?
Tumblr media
and wwx defending lwj, as he does
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this performance from xz is SO good. the little hitch in his breath as he admits this - he's clearly close to tears
Tumblr media
the kicker is. the kicker is I know why jc thinks the way he does even though I know he's wrong and his perceptions are skewed. and he does have sincere grievances with wwx here. because that WAS a shitty thing that wwx said, even if he didn't know how jl was. like you'd think an orphan would know better than to mock another (teenage) orphan but he can be such a dick sometimes
Tumblr media
yeah this is something that it makes sense to be upset about too. though again given that wwx literally killed himself I think he knows
Tumblr media
the plaintive streak in his line here reminds me so much of my younger brother. he almost sounds like a child, and he doesn't really have anything to defend himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah despite everything I've said about misconceptions of their relationship and how bad things really were back then for them, this little scene captures a lot of what's compelling and painful about their dynamic, and what pushes people to rewrite jc into someone already worthy of having a relationship with even in the midst of one of the worst things he ever does to wwx. worse than the attempted strangulation, I'd say. maybe on par with telling him to go die when he was already suicidal. up near attacking him as he was leaving LP for no other reason than he wanted to see him hurt. GOD this guy sucks
Tumblr media
actually I can see this from his pov as well. like OBVIOUSLY he still hates wen ning, who murdered jzx and doomed their sister.
Tumblr media
you know it's fully insane that fans make jc look for wwx for all those years because he genuinely misses him and wants him to be okay because this makes it so abundantly clear that he literally wants them both dead
Tumblr media
good question, wwx! unfortunately we won't have time to unpack all that
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jl was listening at the door, so he knew that jc wants to find wen ning and sends him out with that excuse. it's actually really funny how easy jc is to manipulate. that is not a very smart man
Tumblr media Tumblr media
god I love jin ling. he has such a mouth on him. who else can disrespect jc like this? he's so funny
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
people will read that top line like "uwu I wanted my brother back 🥺' and maybe that's a part of it but jc literally says in the next sentence he would have murdered wwx so idk what he thought wwx was going to realistically do. I mean he literally already died, he wasn't going to offer himself up AGAIN. jc. be practical.
tho I do think a little part is that jc wanted to be trusted. even if he would have betrayed that. he's a complicated dude. people don't always make logical sense. and he always hated being out of the loop
but yeah jc is a deeply punitive person who wants to hurt people until he personally feels mollified, or to kill them. and this just isn't very condusive to like, lifelong stability or happiness. I'm the first to say nobody is obligated to forgive, but he raised jl to be so angry and focus so much on the negatives instead of focusing on jl as a person, his strengths and goals and hobbies. and that's destructive to jl I think, it's corrosive for a child to grow up with that burden and that pressure on him. and as soon as jl runs into an adult who supports him and uplifts him, he blooms
Tumblr media
jc fans saying 'what do you MEAN jc doesn;t trust wwx. look how he left him with his nephew! if that isn't brotherly love (TM) I don't know what is!' are so funny because jiang cheng is actually just stupid. he's just dumb and he thinks this will work
Tumblr media
jl being mean to wwx is fine because wwx started it, wwx is thirty years old, and it's funny. it's everything people like in the jc and wwx dynamic, adjusted for their ages, but without all the baggage of literal murder and torture. wwx did jl wrong, but he apologizes for his words, looks after and teaches and protects jl, and jl reluctantly loves him and protects him in turn. it's a really special relationship that deserves more than an afterthought in postcanon works
Tumblr media
oh mister toxic masculinity is back
Tumblr media
SO TRUE JIN LING. real men DON'T concern themselves with people who shame them for being feminine. come on wwx you're going to literally have gay sex you have to get over this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love when he pulls out his 'wise mentor' voice. it's I'm sorry and thank you time!!!!!
Tumblr media
oof. sobering words from someone who has suffered
Tumblr media
AND HE APOLOGIZES!!!! he apologizes to jin ling!! it's a great step in their relationship and it's so gratifying to see. I said at one point that wwx isn't very apologetic, but this (and to jyl a few times, and to lwj) are the exceptions
personal highlights:
well the streets are pretty
lwj needing that extra push from wwx is like one of the only pieces of evidence he gives a shit about him in the episode
jl manipulating jc, mouthing off to him, and then letting wwx go is an enthralling series of events
wwx saying the im sorry and thank you line!! and apologizing to jl!!

Hi I was just wondering what you thought about Peregrine's motivations? They seem very ambiguous so far and personally I would hate it if JC went with the whole 'he's just an evil person narrative'.
Hello!
You know, I don’t think that Peregrine is simply evil for the sake of being evil. For example, look at how he talked about his career:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Frankly, I believe that it might be the only thing he was genuine about. And to be clear: I mean the parts about helping people, not about “deeply regretting” being a shitty father. He seems to be quite proud of his job, too. I imagine that in his mind, he was actually making many lives better. And let’s not forget that Rakepick told us that R’s mission is “saving the world”. The problem is that his approach to it is all wrong.
Peregrine is a megalomaniac with a bit of a god complex. Notice how he talks about joining R:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised if he considers himself the Chosen One or something. And when it comes to power? Well…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But like… everything he says can be applied to R as well. Because what exactly makes him think that it’s R who’s supposed to take that knowledge and that power? Why the change is supposed to be made by them? Again, I suspect that Peregrine believes that they can make the world better. But the parts about the Ministry being corrupted etc.? Yeah, it’s mostly about eliminating the obstacles on a way to realising their vision of a better world.
Also, it’s interesting that they talk about Dumbledore in this scene. Because there’s another quote by Dumbledore that’s very fitting for this situation (well, I guess that from the game’s point of view, it wasn’t said yet…):
It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.
Yes, we all know that Albus is no saint himself and whatnot. But personally, I really like this quote. And as I said, I think it’s quite perfect for the occasion. Because Peregrine is clearly someone who seeks power. And in the HP universe, it usually ends badly, especially when one tries to excuse their actions by “the greater good”.
As for more specific ideas about what “saving the world” might mean, I actually talked about it more in this post. In short though, it comes down to the ability to bring people back from the dead. And to be honest, I still think it’s not a terrible guess. Especially now when – minor spoilers from the datamines – it was revealed that Olivia worked at the Department of Mysteries, where the Veil is located.
Overall, I wouldn’t say it’s a super complex or original motivation for a villain – but I guess it’s better than being evil for the sake of being evil. Of course, it could be elaborated by the addition of why Peregrine is so obsessed with helping people, for example. I don't see the explanation for that so far.
Also, I said it once, but I’ll say it again: I think that in different circumstances, Peregrine could’ve been a decent villain. My main problems with him are that his reveal had literally no build-up and that MC is basically passive about… well, everything.

Srry for the very heated. Very real. Very raw. And cery fucking angry vent below. Im sick of this shit in the mortal kombat "fandom" on here.
Cw: vent. Im Really fucking angry.
gonna ignore the trash heap dumpster fire that is the mortal kombat fandom and write my own mk stuff.
Thats the only mk that exists. The mk in my brain n heart.
Sorry not sorry but mk sucks now. Ed boon legitimately doesn't know or care to listen to the real fans. (He had the audacity to basically say street fighter was outdated when he hadn't done anything worth a lick of fucking damn in 30yrs that was decent and didn't backtrack on. Gameplay and story. Fuck off ed boon you boomer pathetic ass peice of trash. Go suck a fat dick n die. Fr.)
Oh yeah and called street fighter anime like when wtf is he doing making all the characters look so damn young like that sus af boon. Real sus.
Nrs has their egos so far up their asses. And so do these new "fans" who don't bother to care because they wanna just fuck a fictional character. (Dont get me wrong. I self ship,i love the characters too. But i actually have a working brain to know. There is more going on then whatever the fuck im oogling at you twats! Like fucking stop looking at your pathetic blorbos for five fucking seconds and look at the bigger picture here! Thirsty ass bitches. God damn. )
So yeah. Any mk stuff from mortal kombat is gonna be my own writing. So nrs can suck it. New fans can suck it and fucking die in a dumpster fire. They can kiss my whole asscheek.
Fucking ruined scorpion. They will fucking pay for that. Fucked over everything and everyone.
Kung lao. Got fucking nerfed....AGAIN!
Raiden reduced to bitch boi.
Liu kang need a say more?!
Shang tsung. A pathetic welp. Wtaf?! Also why tf is kronika back?! That absolutely makes no sense. Period. Yup. As i suspected. They lokified him. The fans are not villain fans unless they look "pretty" enough for them. Grossly making him like a teeny bopper. Like wtaf is wrong with y'all?! Shang tsung isn't supposed to be a fucking babyface. You weirdos!
Shao kahn. A diablo genshin impact villain rip off.
All the women have same face syndrome. Looking like kim k Instagram models. Gross. Like im sorry. They all look gross and dehydrated to me. All the same body types. All "conveniently attractive". Yeah. 30yrs and they still have yet to make a character look "average" or a character with a larger body type,fat character that wasn't a joke character or thrown to the side. Cant ever make the women normal looking. Nope gotta appease the loser men with porn models. And anyone who is a woman who falls for that shit. Thinking its hashtag girlboss doesn't help this. No. What would be. Is actually hiring and PAYING actual real woc models and voice actors to be in your games. But nope.
Nrs is lazy pathetic pos guys. Who just want money.
All the asian guy characters look like they took Lewis tans face and copy cut pasted it. Fr. They dont look good. At all. They do not look like they have any personality. Period.
Johnny is the only one that is different. Ofc the only white guy is done decent. Because they cant of course fuck up their precious little white dude to project their insecurities on. (Course they did fuck him up because everything thqt made johnny special is now gone. He just some douche who looks like jc)
The shokan are tiny af. Pathetic. Weak. Ugh.
And they wanna disguise this horseshit as something groundbreaking when it's not really. Most fans are not gonna pay and arm n a leg for a shitty game that you guys legit fucking ruined integral lore to.
All hiding it behind "oh but its a new world" no honey its a entirely new game Franchise only using mortal kombat in name brand alone.
Its not even mortal kombat anymore.
ITS SOME PATHETIC ASS DUDES FANFIC FROM A DC FANS BASEMENT ON WATTPAD.
So yeah im pissed.
So anything from me. Mortal kombat related.
Will be from my own writing.
Until nrs can actually pull their heads out their ass and clean house.
I wont be buying anything official from them. Like merch n games. They can suck it. All movies will be pirated. Etc.
I will play the shit i have,and watch and stick to the 95 movie n be done with it.
Fucking hell. They ruined scorpion!
Im just pissed.
