#fuck you im just gonna sit here with my jiang cheng plushie ok

[sappyspeare]

my latest fic idea, wherein jiang cheng leaves the jiang sect to become a rogue cultivator

ok so canon-compliant au where jc has enough of jfm’s shit, cuts his hair, and leaves the jiang sect 

i am currently in class and very tired but this is something i saw on twitter and it has not left my mind since so lemme break it down:

some time after the indoctrination at qishan but before the attack on lotus pier

y'all know that scene where jfm tells jc that he doesn't understand what the yunmengjiang motto means 

yeah that got my blood boiling because i am a #1 jc stan and fuck you jfm 

so maybe instead of taking it, jc just. snaps. goes off on jfm for being a shite dad for making him feel like he was never worthy, never enough, never good enough to be acknowledged by his father etc etc. and he just. walks out

cue silence. madam yu is especially surprised and tries to call him back but he ignores her point blank

he goes to his room, packs his things, leaves his bell on the bedside table

now as yall may know, back in the day cutting your hair was a no-no because of parents and stuff and how its a link to your parents etc etc

jc stands in front of the mirror, takes his hair down, unsheathes sandu, and just when wwx and jyl walk into the room, intent on comforting him, he cuts the hair at shoulder length

cue silence pt. 2

he hugs his sister, says sorry, tells wwx to not be an idiot and take care of jyl, and walks out

cue crying

he is no longer Jiang Cheng, heir of YunmengJiang Sect. he is just another face, another cultivator

madam yu, is, understandably distraught and angry and tries to convince him to stay on his way out

he apologizes, brushes her off, and with one last glare towards his father, he walks out of Lotus Pier. 

he travels for a few days before hearing that lotus pier has been attacked by the Wens

(jfm and jyl stay in lotus pier in this instead of leaving and yzy

of course, he rushes back home to see the place in flames, disciples dead and his family missing

Jfm is dead. Yzy, jyl, and wwx are missing

Jc is torn between the need to murder wc and wzl and find his family

He decides to find his family

Wwx has been caught and un-golden-cored and is now missing 

Yzy is not in the best shape

she gives him zidian 

jc uses his connections with lxc and nhs to get lwj over here immediately because ‘i have to find my brother and you're basically a bottom magnet’

Meanwhile yzy and jyl, with the help of the lan and nie sect, take back lotus pier

Yzy dies, big sad

Jyl is made the clan leader of yunmengjiang

Sunshot campaign happens 

Oh btw wwx was tossed into burial mounds and is now: demonic cultivator

Wen chao, wlz, wlj are all dead <3

Sunshot campaign 

jc is using different forms of fighting that he’s learned over the months with cultivators from other sects and is formidable as ever

Everything ends up the same, the only difference being that jiang yanli strikes up a marriage deal with lan xichen for lan wangji and wei wuxian

Jiang cheng is like ‘ok my job here is done goodbye’ and he leaves once again

He meets wen qing and the wen remnants 

Goes to the phoenix mountain hunt, and with the combined alliance of the lan sect and jiang sect + a certain demonic cultivator, the jiangs take the wens to the jiang sect

Wen ning is still a corpse dude but wwx fixes that so he’s undead but still like. Walking n stuff

Yada yada wangxian wedding yada yada yanqing yada yada sperm donor jzx yada yada jin ling exists but he’s the jiang sect heir

post sunshot camapign, once the dust has settled

Jc keeps travelling and learning

He meets sl who is looking for xxc

They find him practically dead with a-qing next to him, alive, but just barely (listen idgaf abt canon ok)

Sl goes off to find xy, who killed xxc

Xxc, with his dying breath, tells jc where to find baoshan sanren and begs him to take care of a-qing

He dies :((

Jc tells lwj the address and long story short wwx gets his core back, making him x2 stronger as a demonic cultivator

Oof jin sect does not like that

Bloop fuck the jin sect, all my homies hate the jin sect

Madam jin kicks her husband out onto the streets (’thats what you get for cheating on me so much you rat bastard’)

Jiggy is also dead. There's a certain smell of lotus flowers and even a petal next to him. No one says anything because reasons

Nmj and lxc grieve their murder twink together because thats romance baby

jzx becomes the sect leader, makes mianmian head disciple and everyone’s happy

Jyl asks jc to come back to the jiang sect and be head disciple or an advisor, but he doesn’t take it

he’s welcome to cloud recesses because lqr is a bitch and would’ve liked jc over wwx and also because jc loves a-yuan and wants to see his brother often fuck you lwj

and jc is wandering the world, hunting demons, teaching his daughter about cultivation (demonic and otherwise because in this why would he hate it) and he occasionally goes home to yunmeng to see his sister and his nephew and jyl dotes on a-qing and at the end of the day he has no responsibilities and nothing to fear, and even though his father called him a coward and told him he wouldn't survive a minute alone, he knew that he had proved him wrong and attempted the impossible, and succeeded.
