So.
According to @demiace-wen-ning​‘s iconic post, every MXTX novel has:
A red/black, morally ambiguous, all-powerful bastard man
A fan wielder who is much more than meets the eye
And a fucking Jiang Cheng
Now we, as a collective fandom, have decided with our communal braincell that in SVSSS, the “fucking Jiang Cheng”™ character is Liu Qingge. And on the surface, this seems Right and Good:
Tumblr media
HOWEVER! I posit that these aspects are only the most superficial and external aspects of the vast and multi-layered Dagwood sandwich that is fundamental “fucking Jiang Cheng”™yness. “fucking Jiang Cheng”™ has LAYERS. And for all that I love Liu Qingge, I love him in the same way I love the Sonic franchise’s Knuckles the Echidna:
Tumblr media
This is emphatically NOT how I love Jiang Cheng. Furthermore, this is demonstrably NOT the sort of character that a fandom becomes viciously divisive about. This is the sort of character you either like or dislike and move on with your life because he is not deep and complex enough to Die On This Hill for defending. (This is a Feng Xin or Nie Mingjue sort of character.)
So what makes for a “fucking Jiang Cheng”™ character? What are the quintessential “fucking Jiang Cheng”™ characteristics that result in a complex and divisive character? I propose:
ambiguous/unexplained actions
refusal to explain motives
canon selfless actions missed or negatively interpreted
socially over-conscious while still socially detested
harsh and contemptuous outward behavior
honestly, naturally is an asshole, but holds back just enough to get away with it
hard-working but overshadowed by upstart prodigy
childhood trauma that fundamentally affected behavioral patterns
aggressively focused on their cultivation and consequent social status
secretly heartbroken about a perceived betrayal regarding the protagonist
yay, war crimes!
These attributes all describe Jiang Cheng. All but the last one describe Mu Qing, with the second-to-last applying in a way where HE is perceived as the betrayer. None of these attributes describe Liu Qingge. But you know who they DO describe in SVSSS?
Shen Jiu.
The ORIGINAL Shen Qingqiu.
An undeniable asshole who nevertheless gets punished for every good deed he ever did, who clawed and scraped his way to the top of the cultivation world and ensured he stayed there no matter how many bridges he had to burn or enemies he had to make along the way, who acts like a bitter tsundere to the person who matters most to him because said person broke their promise and never explained why, whose childhood was a never-ending parade of trauma and abuse that molded him into a harsh and suspicious individual, who (though we don’t find out until the extras) shows no sexual interest in anyone, whose own path to cultivation was so difficult and traumatic that they could not stop themselves from jealously lashing out at the heaven-blessed prodigy standing right next to them.
Shen Jiu is the TRUE “fucking Jiang Cheng”™ of SVSSS, and I cordially invite any haters to bring it on because this is My Hill and I am ready to fight for it.

hey, are you guys doing alright?
Us the mods? Well, I (Smores) am currently dealing with allergies that are dying down thankfully and fighting both writing and art block. I also want to make progress with my digital art skills.
Kenzie is okay, working on stuff but mostly vibing, probably having a struggle with art too.
Q/Painter has been doing alright herself and working on answering an ask.
Skitti is going through University work, deadline is a month away so in short a bit anxious and stressed.
Doge was sick recently, stayed up too late often (so did I, not gonna lie I'm a criminal too) gamed too much and cleaned up often. He's trying to get back into drawing again.
Blue is very very tired from school/college.
Mercy has been a little stressed in the past but is hanging in there and is as kind and caring as ever towards the squad.
All in all we're all going through it and trying to get by, life is a pain but we'll pull through y'know? I'm trying to be positive.
Thanks for checking in on us the mods kind anon, sorry things got slow 😣 I also REALLY REALLY wanted to doodle out everyone's sonas with text but ugh I may have been overthinking and I should chill out more. Oof.

Hey there Marshmallow Mod (aka Smores) here, important lil update. So prepare yourselves for the future because my other mods are gonna be doing a little thing where they claim an ask and draw it in their art style meaning you all get to enjoy different flavors. Thought I'd let you know so you aren't caught off guard when there's a change in styles.
