MDZS but Jiang Cheng embraces his life calling of nosey, bratty little sibling and absolutely will not leave Wei Wuxian alone post-burial mounds. He has no patience for WWX's emo era and no respect for his 'mysterious air' or 'menacing vibes'. 🙄
WWX's reputation is saved by the fact that he spends half his time getting publicly outed as a overenthusiastic nerd and the other half his time desperately stopping his angry chaos gremlin brother from passive-aggressively starting another war.
The cultivation world is forced to accept that WWX saved the Wen remnants because they find out via JC loudly announcing that he is an uncle now, he will be the best uncle to ever uncle, as so help him god if anyone touches that kid he will shove zidian so far up their-
WWX tries to exile himself from the sect and JC stops listening immediately because how is WWX going to help him rebuilt the Jiang sect if he's not there? idiot.
Que:
WWX : you still want me there even though i'm the big bad yiling laozu?
JC: My guy, I have seen you cry in fear because of a puppy and squeal like a pre-teen girl over LWJ not-smiling at you. You're not a big, bad anything except a big, bad idiot. Besides, I'm basically your only friend rn you have to hang out with me.
Anyway JC bullies WWX with love and the world is a better place for it.

I just did this to show an aged up character design of the precious child to be honest.

more self-indulgent jgy abo headcanons
I read a fic so long ago that I no longer remember the fandom nor characters involved, but the thing about it that really stuck in my mind was that it was an abo-verse fic that used the concept that omegas have an ingrained biological need for physical (including platonic) affection, to the point where “touch-starvation” was a medical diagnosis
this is obviously extremely up my alley for ALL my blorbos, but consider jin guangyao in particular:
unlike the usual ‘omega pretending to be a beta’ trope, I think that once he is established at jinlintai, he would not really try to let people assume that he’s a beta. being an omega leads people not only into underestimating him, but also into offering him a certain degree of safety in providing a veil of stereotype-associated demureness, placidity, etc. it is more to his benefit for people to see him as a polite young man, perhaps even one who, yes, is a war hero - but people can’t quite imagine what kinds of things he must have done for that. surely nothing too bad.
but at the same time, this is the character who couldn't even serve tea to people as nie mingjue’s deputy without people making a show of wiping off their fingers after touching the cups. people know he is an omega, people judge him for being an omega on top of all the other things he is already judged for, but I suspect that most of the relevant and appropriate people in jinlintai avoid touching him unless absolutely necessary. in a world where casual contact is thoroughly commonplace just due to the socialities set up by their biology, jin guangyao has a personal space bubble of like 2-3 feet because he's the dirty son of a prostitute.
he walks through the halls, ostensibly the second young master of the tower, and feels like he is drowning in the physical manifestation of loneliness.
who does he have left? family? jin zixuan is not close to him, and frankly is likely an alpha raised by alphas to whom it would not even occur to that such needs need to be minded. jin guangshan certainly is aware, but is using it as leverage, allowing and denying contact as he see fits to manipulate jin guangyao the same way he does with his fatherly affection. there are his sworn brothers, but his relationship with nie mingjue is fraught: certainly da-ge wouldn’t withhold contact as punishment or leverage, but that doesn’t mean he wants to touch jin guangyao anymore, nor does he really understand how the necessity of it feels when he grew up with nie huaisang, an omega who has never been shy about taking whatever affection he wants. and er-ge... he just isn’t around enough.
lan xichen is still the best option, and by the time they have the opportunities to see each other, jin guangyao is pressing nails into his palms to stop from just plastering himself up against lan xichen’s side, which surely would be humiliating for both of them. but still, he’s so aware of it any time they’re in the same room, meting out as many small touches as he can get away with without embarrassing himself. lan xichen slips his fingers over jin guangyao’s wrists as he pulls him up from a bow, intending warm affection. jin guangyao doesn’t want to let him know that it feels like being allowed to gasp for a single breath of air before his head is shoved back underwater.
(with nie mingjue, it is worse. da-ge is just as aware as jin guangyao is when they touch, but for all the worst reasons.)
it is the strangest blessing whenever jin guangyao sees nie huaisang. it’s embarrassing, a little - the knowledge that nie huaisang understands, unlike most people in jin guangyao’s life. but nie huaisang takes that embarrassment onto his own self willingly, never hesitating before making a fool of himself in the way that only a terminally younger brother can, and simply flinging himself into his san-ge’s arms. it’s nostalgic, too: nie mingjue isn’t quite so aware of how important touch is with how proactive nie huaisang can be, and so during his days as deputy, it was often nie huaisang who gave meng yao what he could not ask for.
the cultivators at jinlintai look down on him just as the ones in the unclean realm did, but now there is no willing young master to soothe away the tangible, physical ache of it. more often than not, jin guangyao tucks his hands into his sleeves to hide the way his fingertips shake.
anyway this is my petition for jiang yanli to take two looks at this situation and promptly wrinkle her brows just the slightest amount, expressing quiet concern to jin zixuan that it’s strange how she doesn’t see anybody touch his half-brother very much, does she? and jin zixuan is a little confused, a little embarrassed, a little off-balance - he doesn’t feel close enough to jin guangyao to be that casual, but he’s an alpha, he doesn’t get it until jiang yanli explains to him, with a beta’s patience, the value of family bonds to an omega as well as jin zixuan’s responsibility as a brother (older brother? younger? his father claims older, but there’s no way to truly know - ), and isn’t it wonderful, having a little brother?
and then someone pats jin guangyao over the head until he’s feeling a little less strung-thin and out of options, he realizes he has to keep jin zixuan and jiang yanli alive lest he actually lose his mind (sympathy for da-ge? oh no...), and etc etc things end happily ever after, the end, QED.

The appeal of Jiang Cheng is that he never stopped fighting and yet in that last scene just before Wei Wuxian leaves and he... doesn't stop him. He could. He could keep fighting for him, fighting for what they once had, try to bring some normality to their lives, and he simply doesn't. He's fought for so long but he knows trying to persuade Wei Wuxian to stay any longer wouldn't be in their best interests. He knows he could tell him the truth, how he lost his core, what he did for him, but it wasn't worth it. Fighting for Wei Wuxian was a losing battle. Keeping him by his side through guilt and obligation was just going to be another vicious cycle that neither wanted. Jiang Cheng stopped fighting and he finally let go of the past.

AU (I guess) where wei wuxian and lan wangji taking su she hostage actually kinda works (despite all the reasons it definitely shouldn't lmao) so now they have to actually keep him around and constantly supervised until they get jin ling back and oh yeah make sure public enemy #2 doesn't get hurt or killed or anything because like. he's a hostage now.
like just wangxian ready to go on their honeymoon and now they gotta babysit su she. because they decided that was a good idea, even though it very much was not. it'd be funny though.

What a plot twist you were. [x]
#Like. The narrator introduces jc to us as the antagonist#Then we got to know him. Not who people think he's. But who he really is#And we saw jc giving wwx a piggyback. Giving him soup. Rescuing him. Putting himself between wwx and any danger (madam yu/wen soldiers)#And even the staged fight. It's yk. Staged#jc wanted to protect wwx at any cost. But wwx wasn't willing to compromise. But jc did#The fight was wwx's idea. Because jc is an enabler (just like jfm and jyl)#jc is ready to bend for his loved ones sake#The point is. Every action jc takes. Is in the name of his loves ones' safety. And surprise. wwx is one of the people jc really cares about#Even after wwx' return. Aside a broken cup. jc isn't doing much to stop wwx or anything. We know that jl was able to free wwx from Zidian#only because jc - Zidian's primary master- wanted it!#And jc fling himself into danger countless times to save wwx even though wwx can't sit still with him for a hot minute#What I wanted to say it's that the jc is presented to us - the mean ungrateful man- is very different from the real jc -#the indulgent uncle who rolls his eyes at his nephew antics. the brother who buries the hatchet for his sister's happiness.#the uncle who kinda wants to help wn to get up from the floor because he was an ass to jc but he helped jl and that's what matters to jc#the sect leader who let two women speak freely their mind in a patriarchy society#People better than me have already said this. shit I can't remember my point lmao#Like. jc is presented as an antagonist but what this man wanted was an apology and an explanation#This post is a mix of a rant I wrote last year (ha) after seeing a bad take. About what I don't remember lmaoo. And me wanting#to make gifs of wzc in this scene. Why does he look so good. It should be illegal. Seriously#jiang cheng#*mgifs

You walk a fine line defending characters in the mdzs fandom. Like, on the one hand, I don't think Jin Guangyao or Jiang Cheng or Wei Wuxian or Nie Mingjue (etc etc etc) did everything they are accused of in canon or in the fandom. On the other hand, they all did plenty of questionable things. If you focus too hard on who was right and who was wrong, you make it sound like what matters is what they deserve or what justice they should get.. which is a slippery slope to go down in a story about villains, and frankly, boring. But if you let them off without any fallout from the people impacted by their actions? I don't know , it frustrates me - I don't know about you?

I was listening to Ms Jepsen as one does, enjoying the new album and with an older track or two occasionally slipped in and anyway—
I think the first time modern au Lan Wangji heard “All That” he laid down on his bed in his outside clothes (over the covers, of course) and spiraled about Wei Ying for two hours while the song played on repeat.
(He also likes No One Dies From Love by Tove Lo)
