one of the most obviously sad and frustrating things about wei wuxian is the way in which everyone assumes the worst of him All Of The Time. whilst this clearly encompasses classist rich dicks like jin zixun and the people who make up evil myths about the yiling patriarch, even ostensibly virtuous characters like nie mingjue and lan xichen are constantly suspicious of him. jiang cheng is a classic example - despite loving his brother, he finds it easier to believe that he's lazy or out of control than interrogate his motives. even love of my life lan wangji, prior to wwx's resurrection, doesn't stop to consider that wwx might have good reasons for not retaking the sword path beyond a greed for power so out of character, it's laughable. having said all of that:

SHOUTOUT TO JIANG YANLI WHO NOT ONLY LOVED HER BROTHER DEEPLY, BUT FIERCELY AND DEMONSTRABLY. SHE *ALWAYS* ASSUMED THE BEST OF HIM AND DEFENDED HIM. GRIEF NEVER BLINDED HER. IRONICALLY, CONSIDERING HER BUDGET MR-DARCY-ASS HUSBAND, THE WORD ""PREJUDICE"" DID NOT EXIST IN HER VOCABULARY. JIANG YANLI SAW THE SOCIAL HORRORS OF THE CULTIVATION WORLD AND SAID NOT TODAY AND NEVER MY A-XIAN. I MISS HER. JYL FOR CHIEF CULTIVATOR 623 BC.

#not asoiaf today whoops #jiang yanli has so many good traits #but in a novel where wwx is the protaganist this one has always stuck out to me immensely #she has that reader's clarity #she knows our boy #and she is the most uncorrupted by social pressures of the sects #i love and miss her #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #the untamed #cql #lan wangji #mdzs #mdzs meta #the untamed meta #wwx #jyl

[gaslightgatekeepgirlbosscombat]

Group A, Round 1, Poll 6:

Propaganda under the cut

Jin Guangyao

Out of a desperate attempt to scrape out a space where he belongs, feels safe, and gets what was denied to him. ...He does not succeed at this and instead racks up an impressive body... not that anyone would believe it for a long time on account of all the aforementioned gaslighting

ancient Chinese equivalent of an underpaid retail worker. also the illegitimate son of a powerful sect leader, who rose to power and became leader of that very sect while murdering all the people who have ever wronged him along the way. with a manipulative smile and a knack for looking like a pitiable weakling, he participated in the genocide of an entire sect to earn his father's approval, he led on his best friend in order to better solocit his protection, and he tricked this same best friend into murdering their third friend for revenge. he also used sex workers to kill his shitty father AND murdered his own son, and then played the mourning son/father facade to perfection. right up until the moment he gets stabbed to death and everything falls apart is he relentlessly manipulative, dishonest, and corrupt.

I hate this man but his entire life is him gaslight gatekeep girlbossing. He made it to the top by killing, lying, torturing etc. all while smiling and acting like the sweetest thing since sugar. He killed an old friend wjo didn't trust him and kept his decapitated head in his closet Wiped out an entire clan Killed his son Killed his father Sent his half brother into a dangerous situation that got him killed, because he was jealous Found out his fiancée was his half sister, didn't tell her and married her anyway. When she found out about that and him murdering their son he tried so hard to convince her she was crazy and being manipulated by someone that hated him, and when that didn't work he sedated her, locked her away and drove her to suicide His other half brother was the subject of a lot of horrible rumours. And Jin Guangyao kicked him out, back to his mother's abusive family. I don't think the rumours are confirmed to be from him, but it's certainly suspicious, especially since he didn't like his half brother and saw him as competition Traumatised sex workers then killed them Worked with a serial killer, then tried to kill him Kept an undead man who was fully sentient sedated in captivity to experiment on him And many other things. He even died trying to make his friend feel bad. It worked. Despicable man

Cersei Lannister

Murders her husband the king to put her bastard incest son on the throne. Thinks she smartest person in the room but regularly fucks herself over. Huge hater. Especially of women she sees as competition

She's the queen of girlbosses

[20 Question Fic Writer Tag]

(tagged by @darlingpoppet)

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 17 currently, but I'm a serial deleter and I always wanna keep it under 20. would be like. 69 by now otherwise

2. What is your AO3 word count? 217,645...and see above LOL I shudder to imagine what it would be if I wasn't always deleting

3. What fandoms do you write for? mostly cql and asoiaf in recent years. tho I also have a zelda wip I've been kicking around for a while...we'll see if that ever amounts to anything :') and I'll still keep a few snk fics up, being mighty fond of those days

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? tuck the darkness in (wx shrinking haunted house fic), sunday night lights (eruri football au), friendly fields (wx ghost baby fic), fourth one will prob be deleted soon so it doesn't count lol, and where they grow (madam lan lives au).

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? yep every time! at most it'll take me a month to respond but I never let it go beyond that. even the negative ones (I'm a Pro-Crit Fanfic Guy sorry)

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? the ending to our shadow over the sea (rhaenicent fic) has garnered many delightful threats upon my person and I cherish them all. that and two slow dancers (eruri vampire au): FIGHT!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? most of my other fics tbqh ugh :( maybe set me as a seal (eruri reincarnation au) just bc happy endings for the ruris are rare wah...

8. Do you get hate on fics? idk if I would call it hate, but criticism yes! most common word I hear along that line is "boring" which is definitely understandable lol, there are times when I reread my own works and find them too generic/not rly offering anything new, in which case I take that forward with me into new works to try to enrich them. although I guess if by "hate" you mean like, troll type hate on pairings & things, then yeah who doesn't LOL

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yep, and more so in recent years! and it's the kind of smut that's way too sappy no matter the situation no matter the tone UGH :(

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? snk/asoiaf crossover for my yumihisu rights...idk if it counts as a crossover since it's just snk characters in the asoiaf world, but I did go Very heavy on the asoiaf lore lol whoops

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? yeah lol multiple but I kinda forgot until this was asked, can't bring myself to care unfortch, peace be with you

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? yes!! southern cross translated into chinese by gloria_77, set me as a seal translated into chinese by applethief326, and sunday night lights translated into russian by ackermantihora! and I know there's still several translations of deleted fics out there heh. I so appreciate the hard work of you amazing translators!!

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before? not since I was a kid doing it for giggles with friends, but definitely a lot of fun :)

14. What's your all-time favourite ship? eruri literally life-changing, so. and korrasami

15. What's a WIP you'd like to finish but doubt you ever will? oh man there was this one hannibal wip I had back in the day that like, the themes and imagery and stuff would've been so legit but I needed someone smarter than me to write it :( it was about will & hannibal taking sanctuary in that one silician cathedral while besieged by police. kinda weaving back and forth between past and present, contemplating God and gods and stuff. someone write this please. also there's this one cql post-canon fic but it's all about accepting death and the curse of immortality and stuff and it's kind of a bummer to write LOL maybe will keep chipping away at it one day

16. What are your writing strengths? seems like I'm good at getting across my goal themes & purposes - ppl seem to pick up what I'm putting down often and it makes me happy! because I do tend to err on the side of vagueness & trusting the audience, and it's nice when it's rewarded :)

17. What are your writing weaknesses? like mentioned before, my fics have been called boring & I think that has a lot to do with some generic imagery/syntax I've relied on - definitely something I've tried to improve on but it's a work in progress! like I've sometimes sacrificed diction for story flow ya know, it doesn't work on shrewder readers and I def respect that & want to do better

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? if you know what you're doing, cool! but I've come across too many instances in fics where the author demonstrated a lack of basic understanding of the language & not only does it throw you out but it feels disrespectful - I know ppl get all "it's just fanfic I'm not being paid!!1!!!!11" but if you're going to work within a culture that's not your own, research. not exactly sure if that's what the question is asking LOL but that's been my experience both as a reader and a writer

19. First fandom you wrote for? legend of zelda!! I wrote a billion words of ocarina of time pre-canon fic about the three goddesses at age 10 on a beat-up floppy disc. those were the days man

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? man something happened with southern cross that I've never been able to truly replicate...looking back there's a few too many extra words, few too many instances of passive voice, but for the most part I'm just like damn dude...what was she cooking

if you're a writer and you haven't been tagged yet I tag YOU!!!

tfw you realize wen chao and cersei lannister are the same person

like they both want to be as powerful and cool and strong as their fathers (who also terrify them!) but they are just dumb 😂 they think they are so smart but they are actually clowns??? 😂😂😂🤡

and the harder they try to appear cool (ie by plotting to get power and make their fathers acknowledge them) the dumber they look and I'm 😂😂😂😂

what the heck

#wen chao #cersei lannister #mdzs #asoiaf #cql #mo dao su zhi #chen qing ling #god i hate them #but both their fathers are awful #so I also pity them!! #they think they are so smart but they are just... Not

[winterprince601]

i'm honestly fine, it's just the way that in episode 1 of the untamed wwx has his first lwj flashback looking at lan sizhui. yeah, he instantly subconsciously recognises the hand lwj has had in raising him. wonder how many times lwj had the exact same flashbacks looking at wen yuan's smile as he brought him up. makes me think about how lwj named him sizhui for his longing for wwx and the first thing wwx does when he sees him is long for lwj. he's playing wangxian like 5 minutes later, by the way. no it's all normal - they poured their love for each other into him. he's *their* child, an amalgamation of the best they saw in each other.

One of the weirdest things about reading Fire & Blood is hearing the Northmen frequently described as “savages”..... like I’m not sure how much is supposed to be the bias of this particular maester (I don’t have the book in front of me rn so I forget his name) and how much is just the general southern perspective bc like....yeah I guess the North is a little more rough-hewn than the south but also they actually teach their children honor and justice and loyalty and have their priorities in order (i.e. fuck your petty politics, winter is coming).

#but i’m biased #House Stark #asoiaf #we interrupt your regularly scheduled cql/mdzs to remind you that yeah i’m still on this grrm bullshit #fuck the south honestly #no king but the king in the north whose name is stark #also if something is about to happen to prove me wrong i’ll be upset but #more disappointed than anything i guess #i just finished the dance of the dragons bit #which was honestly a bit boring
