#turning nmj into an owl to incite brother shenanigans :3 #he has three didis and he can't get them to FIT under his wings!! he can't protect them! #you YEET the da-ge?? you yeet him like the soda can??? #JAIL FOR HUAISANG #lil bro is a bird-lover u know he'd be delighted #and overly invested in teaching da-ge how to fly via flap power #until the owl sleep schedule conflicts with canary song-time and da-ge is chasing his songbirds around at the ass-crack-of-dawn o'clock #it'll wear off eventually no worries chifeng zun #buuuuut u keep losing ur temper? then u keep poofing into a flying feathery marshmallow bird that has to hack up pellets #giving chifeng zun the power to be a flying pillow with claws that can double in size and make people piss themselves with demon screeches #he gets to keep his mind intact but he has to be a bird first and suffer indignities #such as various brothers needing soft owl hugs Right Now #altho the ability to harass and prank a-holes and blame it on owl brain is a perk #jgs says something in-character and owl-nmj swoops him and Yoinks some jewlery #nie mingjue #nie huaisang #nie brothers #lan xichen #jin guangyao #zewu jun #chifeng zun #lianfang zun #mdzs #the untamed #fanart

*adjusts mic* *leans forward* “lan xichen is guilty by admission.” i say, “despite how people often portray him as being innocent and purely a victim of jin guangyao’s manipulation, and he is, but not wholly. he refused to acknowledge the fact that nie mingjue was in the right to be angry at meng yao over what he did during the sunshot campaign. even excusing him. lan xichen OUT RIGHT refused to believe nie mingjue when he said that something about meng yao was off and not to trust him. lan xichen is a smart man. the reason why he didnt notice the things nie huaisang noticed is because he CHOOSE to not have any doubt.” the crowd boos before me.

in the back, a tall and broad figure stands, “they’re right!” the figure booms, its nie mingjue.

#IM NEVER GONNA DROP THIS #EVER. #also that absolute POWER move from nie huaisang to have lan xichen kill jin guangyao. #he really said ‘’you allowed my brother be killed by your ‘friend.’ so how about you kill yours too.’’ #his brain. the eighth wonder of the world. truly. #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #nie huaisang #nie mingjue #lan xichen #jin guangyao #meng yao

Wei Wuxian: Who do we know that has handcuffs?

Jiang Cheng: Well Huaisang and I-

Nie Huaisang, under his breath: Don't you dare-

Jiang Cheng: -wouldn't know...

I could talk about all the reasons I ship sangcheng until the cows come home, but I'd only be repeating what other people have said. There is one reason that I haven't ever seen mentioned but it's one of my favourite bonuses of them being shipped; symmetry.

Consider the main trios in MDZS; Yunmeng and 3zun.

Consider that each of the 3zun have a brother (LWJ, JZX, NHS)

Consider that two of those brothers are involved with two of the yunmeng trio.

Consider the perfection, the neatness, the ridiculous fic potential of each of the yunmeng trio dating a brother of one of the 3zun.

#3zun trying to work out wtf they put in the water in yunmeng that attracts all their brothers #Jiang power block because they've snagged marriage alliances with all three other major clans #“my brother is dating my boyfriend's brother's boyfriend's brother” #“AND my boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's brother” #mdzs #the untamed #sangcheng #3zun #yunmeng trio #nie huaisang #jiang cheng

I love (spiritually) sweetly useless and pathetic men

#yue qingyuan #wen ning #meng yao #nie huaisang #xie lian #little meow meow #like they can be super powerful and everything #but SPIRITUALLY theyre the type of guys who wring their little hands #And look at you with wide eyes

Your sister told me the most interesting story about Sect Leader Yao just now… Is it truth? You know very well A-Sang has a way of twisting words for her own entertainment. It will be shortly~

the irony of the fact that nie mingjue judges meng yao for stabbing others in the back and acting dishonorably, but then it’s meng yao stabbing wen ruohan in the back that saves nie mingjue’s life, ends the sunshot campaign, and makes him a hero.

it’s not just commentary on classism and the like (meng yao not being able to fight with honor like nie mingjue wants him to because a. he doesn’t have any honor as a bastard + son of a sex worker, and b. he doesn’t have the power to do so as a weak cultivator) but also on the differences between ideologies and strategies.

nie mingjue is willing to sacrifice his life on principle. he will die simply because he refuses to deviate (pun unintended) from the nie sect cultivation methods. nie mingjue values honor and pride and justice above all. meng yao is someone who will do whatever he has to in order to survive.

and it’s meng yao’s route that is more effective. nie mingjue is caught and forced to kneel before wen ruohan. it is meng yao’s blade from which wen ruohan’s blood drips.

and in the end, in the grand scheme of things, it is meng yao who survives. he survives when all of his honorable counterparts die or are otherwise incapacitated or made miserable or are just his precious er-ge, the exception to the rule (but not for long). nie mingjue dies. jin zixuan dies. lan wangji is forever changed by the betrayal of his sect and his grief. wei wuxian and the wens are dead. jiang cheng is an emotional wreck torn apart by rage and grief.

the only one who survives alongside him is nie huaisang, who is also a weak cultivator who rejects norms and fights dirty, who uses strategy to achieve his goals instead of brute force. it is nie huaisang, who is also at a disadvantage compared to the others, who is also dishonorable (defying the expectations of the cultivation world and the legacy of his ancestors), who survives and ultimately outlives meng yao and defeats him when all others failed.

#and i think the cultivation world picks up on this shift #while i wrote this post abt cql canon i think it is important to recognize that mxtx DOES say that nhs becomes chief cultivator #the cultivation world watches the devastation that the traditional way to do things brought and begins to shift away from it #and the argument can be made that jgy was one of the better leaders the cultivation world has seen #through his concern for the lower classes and the watchtower program (which cql frames as being a play for more power but isnt necessarily #one) #etc. #save for of course all the fucked up things he did #while i do prefer the interpretation that nhs doesnt want to be chief cultivator and reguses to be so bc he was after revenge #and not responsibility #i am also fond of chief cultivator nhs... his exellency.. #nie huaisang #jin guangyao #nie mingjue #wen ruohan #not mentioning anyone else #mdzs #cql #the untamed #clem's corner

[sun-dari]

i kind of really wanted to see wwx and nhs actually work together. like, if these two had a common goal and concocted and executed a plan together, the cultivation world wouldn't know what hit it

#literally no one and nothing would be able to stop them #ultimate power couple #platonic or otherwise #wei wuxian #nie huaisang #mdzs #the untamed #dasha speaks

Wei Wuxian: I could totally be a power bottom.

Nie Huaisang: Keep on dreaming.

#cell posts #incorrect wei wuxian #incorrect cql #incorrect mdzs #was reminded of that power bottom post recently 😂 #cql #mdzs #wei wuxian #nie huaisang

[labyrynth]

the mdzs discourse has really been picking up lately but every day i’m amazed at what people make up to be mad at

you guys aren’t even pretending to have read the book now 😒

#you’re thinking of nie huaisang #mdzs talk #moi #jgy tag #i’m feeling salty tonight #‘scheme’ the only premeditated killings were directly in response to: 1) an immediate threat to his life #2) his father directly spitting on his mother’s memory and jgy’s filiality #Stop Calling Jgy Power Hungry (2023) #any benefit of killing was a byproduct of the actual goal (to End The War or to Not Die or to Repay An Insult Of The Highest Degree #anyway

if i had a nickel for every time my favorite character was a second son who loves the arts/literature, just wants an easy life, and who’s best friend had some connection to evil spirits, i’d have two nickels

#genshin impact #mdzs #the untamed #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #xingqiu #nie huaisang #my boys #i love them sm #poor nhs didn’t get to live the peaceful life that xq does #biggest diff is xq actually likes fighting #I think they’d get along #it would be bad if they ever met tho #nhs would teach him how to be a sneaky girlboss #xq would have too much power with that knowledge #quick random thing: i think if nhs got a vision it’d be… either dendro or anemo #anemo would suit him bc love for birds and also classic anemo trauma #and green #but dendro also suits him bc he loves the arts and he’s p smart (like bbgrl kav)

[the-girl-with-too-many-ideas]

Does anyone else get the feeling that at their core, all of mxtx's works are about cycles of abuses.

#idea dump #ramblings of a sleep deprived girl #heaven official's blessing #tian guan ci fu #scum villian self saving system #mao dao zu shi #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #mxtx #mo xiang tong xiu #cycle of abuse #I don't only mean the passing down of trauma #I also mean the abuses of an established corrupt system #that systematically hurts people that are less fortunate than those who actively benefit from it #to me this one is more prevalent in mdzs and why jin guangyao downfall is so upsetting to me #because he was coming close to breaking the cycle of abuse of both the system and of his family #but unfortunately it was his past actions in service of perpetuating it that doomed him #if he had realized a lot sooner that his father was not worth it #and started pursuing his own interests from the beginning instead of his father's approval he could have changed everything for the better #not to mention that unlike his father he actually treats his spouse with respect and doesn't intentionally hurt her #emphasis on the 'intentional' part (if you know you know) #just like Jin Guangyao became the new wei wuxian Nie Huaisang became the new Jin Guangyao #so i'm of the firm belief that since the system is still in place the cycle will repeat again #and Nie Huaisang will replace Wei Wuxian as someone else becomes his Jin Guangyao #sorry for this long ass essay in the tags lol #it's 3am so I'll probably do the other two another time #also let it be known that I'm only running on spoilers/fanfictions/wiki when it comes to svsss and mdzs #so if anyone bothers to read my essay tags be free to correct anything if I get something wrong #side note why wasn't mdzs about breaking cycles??? #why didn't yanli become sect leader. Jiang cheng remain coreless. or Jin Zixuan marry into the Jiangs to show worth outside the norms #you can be a strong woman without being cruel. cultivation doesn't equal worth. and powerful women are beautiful and should be respected

[frankensteincest]

I have to hand it to mdzs for giving me three people who rise to power and upset the board so efficiently without relying (entirely) on their combat ability but rather on how well they can be a lying liar who lies

#log. #mdzs #obvs jgy and wwx needed had to be competent in soldiering & cultivation to get where they were #but even then jgy was not marked out by his combat power but his espionage #and wwx by his breaking convention & forging new paths which happened to include the ability to dominate a battle #nie huaisang self-explanatory. king #the Method they all used to execute these skills is what delights me. construct the narrative!!

[pbaintthetb]

today on fics I will never write:

Mo Xuanyu DOES have a friend in Mo Village, he’s not alone, it’s just that this friend is the disembodied spirit of Jin Zixuan- who only he can see- so it really does nothing to curb the accusations of madness

it’s jokes though, they go a whole month before JZX like, realises they’re related.

#mdzs #JZX likes Nie Huaisang thinks he's nice enough if a fool #he's hopeful when he starts poking around Mo VIllage finally someone might help his little brother #Jin Zixuan does not like Nie Huaisang for long #like for all jzx ain't the sharpest sword i do feel like he probably understands power games better than mxy #or like he understands them in a different way maybe because mxy has lived the negative consequences of power games so #feels like a disservice to say mxy doesn't see any of it #anyway i have one line in my head which is jzx finding mxy is a jin bastard and just being like #omfg my dad had another one? #and then realising that's awkward for mxy so apologising
