#bc hes a boy and why are you sewing Jiang Cheng thats useless you should be practicing swordplay

[asingularshieldmaiden]

remember the Jiang Cheng fibre crafts thing from like 2 (?) years ago I just got back into knitting and like all the hc are coming back oml. JL pointing out the socks his jiujiu made him! little talismans and tiny lotuses embroidered throughout jl and jc’s clothes! Jiang Cheng managing the Yunmeng weaving and dyeing guilds and the giant looms of Yunmeng. The quiet wealth of the Jiang sect not in adornments but in the quality of the fabrics, cuts, dyes and detailing of the garments. the Jiang as the textiles powerhouse of the Jianghu :).

I think the fact fibre arts can be quite mathematical but still have lots of creative freedom would suit Jiang Cheng’s  personality. also the incredibly repetitive and rhythmic act of the process would take his focus of his insecurities and complex sect issues and let him shut down for a little bit - its what he deserves!

#jiang cheng #mdzs #cql #the untamed #I will always hold jc fibre crafts hc close to my heart #and I find the gendered element of fibre crafts an interesting addition to Jiang Cheng #due to the patriarchal nature of the jianghu and the resulting image he must present #and the idea that when he was growing up there was this role of fibre crafts in the Yunmeng economy so he needed to know a lot about it #but he was also good at making it! but that wasn't valued by his parents #bc hes a boy and why are you sewing Jiang Cheng thats useless you should be practicing swordplay #anyway #in jc's opinion #stabbing fabric over and over to get a beautiful garment will cause less political incidents than stabbing frustrating individual no.4 at #the cultivation conference
