uknow how jin ling is described as looking a lot like his jiujiu... what if, post canon, since he stops hanging out w jc as much, he stops carrying himself like him - grows from his brashness, immaturity, ego and arrogance, a farce of confidence. actually grows settled, in a way that jc could never quite achieve, sure and steady. like that wei wuxian, who he spends a lot of time with, now.
now, when people look at jl, they dont see jiang zhongzhu, a part from the jut of his cheekbones and thick eyebrows. instead, they see jzxs nose, chin, his posture. they see jyl in his eyes, in the way his mouth pouts out a little.
they see something new, in the way he carrier himself - still haughty, yes. but happy. no longer carrying misery, that sadness.

Canon Jiang Cheng is an extremely hot man who had everything he loved taken away from him, who gave the few things he had left for the one he loved like a brother, and who loves his nephew more than himself.
Canon Jiang Cheng is an extremely hot man who sacrificed his relationship with the only person he had left for the sake of the thousands of people under his charge, who ran seven hundred thousand for days without stopping to eat, rest, or drink to save wwx and lwj, who trusted jgy to take care of his precious nephew and still, he was betrayed.
Canon Jiang Cheng is all of that, and he's also an extremely hot man who's sad, angry, who doesn't feel enough, who lives scared, he was so fucking scared of jl getting hurt that he offered himself as a hostage, so scared that wwx would die again that he let himself be stabbed so that nothing would happen to wwx.
That even after all the crap wen ning spewed out of his mouth along with the revelation of the golden core operation, he still chose not to tell wwx about his own sacrifice, so that the man he once considered his brother wouldn't go back to feel that he owes something (the reason why he didn't say it is up to your imagination, but what is clear is that he could have said it to harm wwx, or to show that wwx is not the only one who sacrificed himself for the other, and he didn't do it anyway).
Canon Jiang Cheng has a waist as small as a delicate girl's, but he could rip you in half in 10 seconds.
And Canon Jiang Cheng has the softest, shiniest lips in the entire series.
All of that is Canon Jiang Cheng, I hope I have made it clear.

It really bothers me when people deny or downplay JC putting WWX in a room with a dog, that it doesn't "qualify" as torture. WWX fears dogs more than he fears death. And JC knew this and put him in a room with one.
Torture isn't always blood and bodily injury. Psychological torture can be just as effective. JC knew that there would be no harm done physically, and that more traditional torture wouldn't confirm his suspicion that MXY was 100% WWX anyway.
Torture is torture is torture, even if you believe he wasn't truly being malicious with said torture.

xicheng marriage wip (i)
I hear JC antis are complaining that “JC stans from twitter” are posting canon-verse xicheng in the canon JC tag. I find this extremely puzzling because they seem to like their JC deranged, unhinged, and dealing badly with WWX’s death. I don’t understand why I should be excluded from this tag when I TOO like my JC deranged, unhinged, and dealing badly with WWX’s death. So have the opening snippet of my ✨xicheng marriage of convenience✨ WIP, where the Lan elders try to void the wangxian marriage on basis of an old Confucian rule, stating that younger brothers cannot marry before older brothers — so JC offers himself up for a loveless marriage with LXC, and LXC (who is depressed and disillusioned after Guanyin Temple) agrees. They do not initially get along. DRAMA ensues.
---
After two wars, Lan Xichen thinks he can speak authoritatively on the matter — the bulk of the work always comes after the war.
This argument between Lanling Jin and a coalition of smaller sects has raged on for hours now, late into the night. It is far past Gusu Lan's traditional bedtime, and Lan Xichen can feel tiredness slowly beginning to chip away at his patience.
"I would like to advocate again for the open dissemination of the Yiling Patriarch's research notes," he says tiredly, for what feels like the fourth or fifth time that night. "Parts of his research have the potential to be used for good. Everyone should be able to benefit from his inventions."
A minor sect leader shoots to his feet. Sect Leader Yao is his name, Lan Xichen remembers suddenly. He does not remember the name with much fondness.
“But what of the parts that could be used for harm?!” Sect Leader Yao cries, appalled. “The common people cannot be trusted with such evil techniques! Not to mention that there’s a high risk of things going wrong if they are practiced incorrectly. How can these notes just be distributed so carelessly?!”
“And that’s why Lanling Jin is best suited to safeguard these techniques,” Jin Guangyao interjects, smiling. “We have a guest disciple who has the knowledge to interpret these notes, safely testing out the techniques until we can figure out which ones are safe enough for public use.”
Nie Mingjue, a hitherto quiet figure, finally lets out a cold laugh.
“You’re talking about Xue Yang,” he says.
Lan Xichen winces, sensing an oncoming argument
“Da-ge—” he begins placatingly.
“Your entire Jin Sect is a pit of vipers,” Nie Mingjue spits, “and I wouldn’t trust you with a dagger, let alone an entire manual of dangerous cultivation techniques.” He chuckles humorlessly. “When are you going to hand Xue Yang over for trial?”
Even though he does not address the question to anyone specifically, his eyes are pinned on Jin Guangyao. The other man drops his eyes, avoiding his gaze.
“My, my, Sect Leader Nie,” Jin Guangshan begins silkily. “Such venomous accusations. Won’t you give your sworn brother some face?”
Jin Guangyao stiffens at those words. After a moment, however, Nie Mingjue just scoffs, turning to the man sitting silently at his side.
“And you, Jiang Wanyin?” he questions sharply. “Do you have nothing to say?”
Everyone startles at that, turning to the young sect leader, having all but forgotten about his presence. He had been so quiet, so still, just staring vacantly at the table for the whole discussion. Even now, he does not even twitch, sitting still as stone. 
“No,” he replies, monotone.
Nie Mingjue lets out a frustrated, disbelieving noise.
“You alone have veered the furthest from the demonic path,” he presses. “You alone have condemned it whole-heartedly, eliminated all that would misuse it. And now, you will not fight to safeguard these manuals from falling into the hands of unscrupulous others?”
When Jiang Wanyin still says nothing, Nie Mingjue leans in.
“Jiang Wanyin,” he hisses. “You have the strongest claim to his possessions. You will not fight?! He was your Da-shixiong! He was your brother! You have the right!”
There’s a crackle. 
The flickering purple of Jiang Cheng’s ring casts a conspicuous glow in the dim room, painting his still features in eerie shadow. 
“He was no brother of mine,” Jiang Wanyin says without inflection. “I lay no claim.”
Nie Mingjue sits back in his chair, seemingly backing down.
“Calm yourself, Jiang Wanyin,” he mutters. “You want no part in this? Fine. I’m not going to argue with you.”
At those words, the crackle dies, and the room eases a little. This, however, is apparently enough for Jin Guangshan to resume his machinations without fear.
“And yet,” he drawls, leaning back in his seat, “the young Sect Leader Jiang continues to hoard the most valuable piece of the puzzle. Is the ghost flute Chenqing not in your possession? Do you not guard it zealously at your Lotus Pier?” 
Jiang Wanyin does not speak, and after a moment, Jin Guangyao reaches out to grip discreetly at Jin Guangshan’s sleeve. 
“Father,” he murmurs worriedly. 
“Don’t call me that,” Jin Guangshan snarls, flicking Jin Guangyao’s touch off with a wave of his sleeve. He does not even look at Jin Guangyao, eyes fixed single-mindedly on the other sect leader. “Is it even in Lotus Pier, Jiang Wanyin, or have you hidden it elsewhere?"
Jiang Wanyin’s gaze, previously fixed unmovingly on the table, raises slowly to meet Jin Guangshan’s eyes. Lan Xichen can’t help but feel a strange sense of foreboding. The young man in front of him had once been so easy to cow, always wary of offending his elders, always keen not to draw anyone’s ire, but now, he meets Jin Guangshan’s gaze head-on, without any hint of an apology.
"You have evaded all attempts to inquire of its whereabouts, all attempts to hold you to accountability," Jin Guangshan continues. "Do you really think you are above questioning?! Do you really think we will allow you to hold Chenqing indefinitely, without explanation, without justification?!”
Outside, the trees rustle briefly, disturbed by a sudden breeze. The gust flutters at the edges of the papers on the desk, setting the candles on the table violently a-flicker. The dancing candlelight lights Jiang Wanyin's face from beneath, his eyes flashing dangerously in its glow, but still, Jin Guangshan doesn’t seem to notice.
“We will not have another person holding onto dark weapons without any means of accountability,” he concludes. “We will not have another Yiling Patriarch!"
Lan Xichen blinks, and when he next opens his eyes, the long discussion table has tipped over, hitting the floor with a loud, thunderous crash. The candles on the table fall to the ground, lighting the scattered maps and notes on fire. With that, the room is thrown into sudden darkness, shadows flickering and flashing dizzyingly against the walls as several others begin to stamp out the fire, shouting in alarm.
Jin Guangyao���s shrill voice cuts through the din like a knife.
“Jiang Wanyin!” he screams.
Lan Xichen looks up to see Jin Guanyao falling backwards, knocked away by a fierce sweep of Jiang Wanyin’s arm. With the other hand, Jiang Wanyin has reached across the toppled table, and is gripping Jin Guangshan by the collar, all but lifting him off his seat.
“You want accountability?!” he hisses. “You want justification?!”
“Jiang Wanyin, stop this!” Jin Guangyao shrieks. He grabs Jiang Wanyin’s elbow, pulling at him with his whole body, but still, Jiang Wanyin will not be moved.
“Then let me tell you!” Jiang Wanyin thunders. “Chenqing is on my person! It is on my person right now, as it has been since I gained possession of it, and as it will be until Wei Wuxian returns to claim it!” 
“You’re mad!” Jin Guangshan shrieks. “Claim it?! How?! He’s dead! Dead!” 
“How would you know?!” Jiang Wanyin  bellows, shaking Jin Guangshan violently by the neck. “Did you see him die?! Did you find a body?! There was no body! No bones! Nothing to claim— nothing to bury!” 
“Let go of him!” Jin Guangyao screams, still pulling desperately at Jiang Wanyin’s arm as Lan Xichen rushes around the smoldering wreck of the table.
“Jiang Wanyin!” Lan Xichen hollers, grabbing Jiang Wanyin’s other arm. “Control yourself!”
Nie Mingjue leaps across the table as well. But in Jiang Wanyin’s mad rage, not even the combined efforts of three prominent cultivators can restrain him. 
“He’ll be back!” he spits in Jin Guangshan’s face. “And when he finally comes for me, when he finally comes for his accursed flute— I’ll kill him, and kill him, and kill him dead!”
 ---
This memory is what plays in Lan Xichen’s mind, over and over, while Jiang Cheng bows his head, presenting a red letter in gold lettering. 
“For my brother’s happiness,” he says tonelessly, “please accept my marriage proposal.”

Okay. Here's to the antis crying that Jiang Cheng should have done more for the Wen Remnants.
Just no. WWX had already proclaimed himself an enemy when he intruded upon a conference at Koi Tower to threaten that he'd kill whoever dared to stop him from rescuing the Remnants. Anyone, especially YMJ would be committing political and literal suicide by aiding with WWX.
YMJ would not have been able to survive that. They had just survived a mass massacre and a long war. In a climate made on hierarchy, JC is in his young 20s. He has no allies.
His current Sect is made of a thrown together a collection of rouge cultivators and fresh disciples he had to train in less than a few months right after he survived watching his Sect burn, being tortured, and losing his core. Then, WWX was gone.
Still, JC went to war. To avenge his family, his people, his land, and to protect them from a tyrant. With WRH down, now JGS is the next. And we see the direct and very public pressure JGS puts on JC to distance from WWX.
Just because 'JC is a Sect Leader' doesn't mean he has more influence than JGS and the elders of the Jin Sect. Maybe the Lan's would have had that respect, but they had their own issues to resolve and their own alliances to maintain.
Speaking of which, YMJ needed their alliance with the Jin's. Only then would JC have more sway. As allies, there would be less incentive to destroy YMJ. There would also be public scrutiny cast on the Jin's should they openly damage their alliance with YMJ. Scrutiny that JGS and JGY do not want when they are conducting nefarious schemes to gain control (see Xue Yang in his extra with JGY).
With JC actively working to make peace with the Jin's, in addition to having JZX engaged to JYL, JC is able to take the attention and pressure off WWX and the Wen Remnants. The people don't want to focus on the threat that WWX is to their lives, their culture, and their loved ones (if they get raised from death and cut off from the circle of reincarnation). They talk about the grand wedding hosted between the Jin's & Jiang's. They talk about the birth of JL and his celebrations.
In fact, when JC tells WWX that he can't protect him if he defends the Wen Remnants, WWX flat out /rejects/ him. (So what are you crying to JC for?) WWX believes he can protect them himself. And he does. For almost a couple of years.
When does it go wrong? When WWX leaves BM and is on his way to attend JL's celebration.Jin Zixun ambushes & scapegoats him (endorsed by JGS!) WWX loses control of WN and WN murders Jin Zixuan.
JZX, who was the one to invite WWX despite knowing the opposition it would bring to him and DID cause.
Even in the ridiculous situation of JC housing the Remnants in LP (nvm his and his people's trauma of the Wen's), the Jin's scheming to murder would have happened to WWX regardless of where he was with the Remnants.
It's f*cked up. But does JC have control over JGS and JGY? No. So stop blaming JC for their downfall. It was on WWX to protect the Wen's and to control WN, no one else.
(Note, if JZX, his firstborn son and Sect Heir, could not persuade JGS and his clan to back off from WWX, what makes you think JC could?)
Afterwards, WN and WQ both decide on their own that in order to answer for the deaths at Qiongqi Path and JZX's murder, that they comply to the Jin's demand. They go voluntarily.
They tell WWX that they are grateful to him for the extra year of life and peace he gave them.
They leave with no regrets.
Again, I must ask you, why blame JC for their deaths?
JC knew that their ruin would eventually occur and tried to warn WWX. JC tried to stop it from happening by killing WN when he was uncontrollable and unpredictable, when WN had no conscience. But JC doesn't kill him. Bc WWX told him not to.
(WN nearly breaks out of BM but luckily LWJ happened to be there to help WWX subdue him and somehow restore his conscience, which WWX never knew would happen. So JC's concerns were not unwarranted.)
Forget and ignore at your convenience, but JC DOES speak up for WWX's actions and reasons for defending the Wen Remnants. No one else does. (Again, see my previous thread.) At the Pledge Conference, where the Sects are deciding what to do about WWX after JZX's death at Nightless City, it would not be hard to assume JC would try to not have them execute WWX. In the end we don't know, but we can say that he was unhappy with their decision to hunt down WWX for good.
After years of persuading others to not take offence to WWX's words & actions, of lessening the load of WWX's disciplinary punishment, of standing at his side & understanding WWX without needing words to be spoken, it would be absurd to say JC ever stopped trying to protect him.
But JC is only human. He could only protect WWX, and when WWX rejected his help, he could not do much else. He could only delay the inevitable.
He could not have protected the Wen Remnants even if he wanted to. Just like how WWX wanted to save them, but couldn't in the world that they live in where an eye for an eye is never enough, and the consequences of their actions never die no matter what their intentions are.

What I hate about all this is I can't even find the content I want to see here anymore. I hate blocking people that aren't spam bots, but these Twitter stans have tried my patience. Like I'm cool with whatever interpretation, but when I come to a tag that is supposed to be curated with specific takes, that's what I want and expect to see. Not all this tsundere best grape jiujiu meow meow stuff. That's what the general tag is for.
Just because the word canon is in the tag name it doesn't make the take more valid lmao. It's a search category with a passive aggressive name because the people that made it were harassed out of the general tag. They deserved the snark for essentially being kicked out of the character tag. Plus it made it easier to search out novel specific posts, so to me it was a win/win
And I just shake my head at these people trying to "reclaim" the tag and telling the fans that made it to go make a new tag again. Hey Twitter stans, why don't you make your own tag called "actual canon Jiang Cheng" or whatever if it means that much to you. The tag name doesn't automatically make you any more correct or incorrect. Right now all you're doing is ruining people's ability to curate their content.
And really you make yourselves look like idiotic assholes who lack critical thinking skills and try to cover up that fact by harassing the people that inform you of the above, and enticing a mob mentally to try to get your way. (Which given the content of the source material...)

Pro Jiang Cheng and mad about it
There was a time I was tolerant of fic with the tag "Not JC Friendly" b/c he's a difficult, somewhat off-putting character full of anger management issues, insecurities, and multiple inferiority complexes so yah, I get it, in certain stories he just won't come across well. That's valid.
But honestly it's just become a synonym for "Jiang Cheng character bashing" and usually stems from a lazy read of the character and, I suspect, some internalized self-loathing by the author. Or whatever.
Jiang Cheng can be infuriating and he's not good at communication and he needs therapy but:
There is never a scenario where WWX would hate him;
There is never a situation where JC doesn't feel genuine regret, shame, and frustration over his limitations;
There is never a time, place, or AU where he does not love Jin Ling with his whole entire heart.
Break any one of those precepts and I'm "peace out."

xicheng marriage wip (ii)
I’ve been told that JC antis are complaining that “JC stans from twitter” are posting canon-verse xicheng in the canon jiang cheng tag, which I find puzzling because they seem to enjoy their JC deranged, unhinged, and coping badly with WWX’s death. Well, I TOO like my JC deranged, unhinged, and coping badly with WWX’s death!
Here’s a second snippet of my ✨xicheng marriage of convenience✨ WIP,  where the Lan elders try to void the wangxian marriage on basis of an old Confucian rule, stating that younger brothers cannot marry before older brothers — so JC offers himself up for a loveless marriage with LXC, and LXC (who is depressed and disillusioned after Guanyin Temple) agrees. DRAMA ensues.
---
The old banquet table at Carp Tower, Lan Xichen remembers suddenly, had been a work of art — a long mahogany piece, inlaid with intricate mother-of-pearl branches, gold leaves, and flowers of ruby and sapphire. At the head of the table, where the Sect Leader had always sat, an ivory carp had been exquisitely etched into the table, jumping into crashing waves, with a dragon rising from the waters behind it.
Lan Xichen remembers that table vividly, just as he remembers the fateful day he’d walked past the banquet hall, only to find it broken cleanly into two. Rubies and sapphires had littered the ground where they had come detached from the once magnificent structure, and the ivory head of the great dragon had been split right down the middle. The broken halves of the table laid on their sides in the center of the room like miserable, beached whales.
He had stopped there in his tracks, eyes widening.
“What happened here?!” he’d blurted out, appalled at the brazen destruction of one of Carp Tower’s most public treasures.
Beside him, Jin Guangyao had slowed to a halt. His eyes had followed Lan Xichen’s gaze to the ruined table, and then, he had laughed.
“What else?” he’d asked simply. “Jiang Wanyin did.”
A scorch mark had sat squarely in the middle of the crack, split into two halves. Put together, however, they made the rough shape of a fist.
Chuckling dryly, Jin Guangyao had gestured politely for Lan Xichen to continue walking. 
“As you know,” he had continued, “Lotus Pier has recently begun clamoring for joint custody of our A-Ling. Jiang Wanyin was here to discuss the terms of that custody.” 
He had laughed again.
“Though perhaps discuss is not the right word,” he admitted. “He demanded an even split, with A-Ling spending half the year with us, and half the year with them. We all thought it was preposterous, of course. A-Ling is a Jin, and the future head of Lanling Jin at that! When I took it upon myself to propose more appropriate terms, however...”
He had shot Lan Xichen a meaningful look, and then he had raised his fist, bringing it down sharply down onto an imaginary surface.
Then, he had smiled.
“And that,” he had said, “was what happened.”
Afterwards, they had left the wing to stroll through one of Carp Tower's many stone gardens.
"Two days ago," Jin Guangyao had continued, "his matchmaking date with Maiden Yan ended in catastrophe. It was disastrous enough that he's been blacklisted by all of the cultivation world's matchmakers, every last one. They've refused to match him with any more women, mainly because in the aftermath of his last meeting, a large portion of their clients have declined to meet him, under any circumstance."
That had surprised Lan Xichen. It had seemed impossible, had seemed beyond belief that the matchmakers would reject a client of such status.
"What happened at the meeting with Maiden Yan?" he had asked apprehensively.
"What else!" Jin Guangyao had cried, his frustration beginning to peak, even through his careful composure. "His legendary temper had gotten the better of him once again, of course." He chuckles. "He flew into an inexplicable rage after Maiden Yan praised him for successfully vanquishing the Yiling Patriarch, and sent her running with a lash of his whip."
"Drawing his weapon on a woman?!" Lan Xichen had exclaimed. "That’s bad even by his standards!"
"He did not just draw his weapon," Jin Guangyao had clarified. "He lashed her. Thankfully, it missed and hit the ground where she had been standing. That whip has slain men in a single blow. I do not wish to think of what would have happened if it had actually struck her."
"That’s—" Lan Xichen had begun, at a complete loss. "That's wholly unacceptable behavior. No wonder he's been blacklisted."
Jin Guangyao had barked out a laugh.
"He’s getting from bad to worse," he had declared. "If he does not reign himself in, we should all begin to fear for the future of the Jiang sect. With a temper like that, what woman would agree to marry him? Who could have the patience to love him?" He had shaken his head. "The Jiang bloodline will die with him if he doesn’t get his act together, and what a pity that would be."
"You never know," Lan Xichen had responded automatically, "perhaps he’ll eventually find someone to love— someone to calm and soothe him, to subdue his anger and bring him peace. There’s no person who’s truly unloveable, A-Yao."
Jin Guangyao had laughed.
"Oh, Er-ge!" he had cried. "You are the goodest man I know, but even you—?"
He had cut himself off with a sigh.
"Imagine being a woman," he had said. "Could you tolerate being married to a man like him? Could you love him, Er-ge? Could you?"
Lan Xichen had been silent for a moment.
“I don’t know,” he had finally admitted. “But I would try. Everyone deserves to be loved, A-Yao. Everyone deserves someone who will look at them, past the flaws, and see the most beautiful parts of their soul. No one is unredeemable. No one."
Jin Guangyao had not said anything for a long, long moment.
Then finally, he had turned his face up to Lan Xichen. There had been a smile on his face then, a smile Lan Xichen had not understood at the time. It had been the smile A-Yao had worn in his final moments, as he'd pushed Lan Xichen away, before he'd been snatched up by Nie Mingjue's fierce corpse, and summarily slaughtered.
“Every person who has done wrong,” he had whispered then, “would pray to be dear to a person like you.”

Nie huaisang, do you have/did you have any crush on Jiang cheng? The sect leader of the Jiang sect seems more recently to be very fond of you,
Nope, I barely said two words to him since the we studied at the Cloud Recesses together. Why would you think that? Very random!
*Hides behind fan*
Sect leader Jiang clearly thinks I'm a waste of space and an incompetent idiot who can't lead a sect, just as everyone else does thanks to my brilliant performance! Why would he even give me a second thought?
Besides, I don't know if you've noticed... But he's extremely homophobic. So... No.
