I just finished the manhua, and now am watching the donghua and these two break my heart. Their brotherhood, their friendship, their family, their adventures together — all of it was lost. :'(

heads- up: someone is taking jc-centric fics and turning them into jc-bashing wangxian fics
I don't usually like to bring twitter drama over to tumblr but since the perpetrator in this case explicitly said they do this ON TUMBLR I felt it was pertinent to do so.
Today user DyuaLan on twitter, aka @jiaoji on tumblr, publically bragged about finding chengxian, xicheng, and zhanzheng fics and changing the names to make them wangxian fics with jiang cheng bashing.
When authors (understandably) reacted to this by blocking them, they boasted about still having 15 stolen fics in their drafts on top of the ones they've already posted.
And that they do all of this stuff on tumblr anyway, not twitter
If you have written any kind of Jiang Cheng ships, or Jiang Cheng-centric fic in general, and are not a fan of your work being stolen, it's in your best interest to block them.
They also said that they block everyone they steal from. Though if you go to the blog now and are blocked, please don't panic, that might just be for fanwar reasons.
Here's proof that DyuaLan is in fact the same person as Jiaoji:
(@jiaoji and @jiaoji2 lead to the same blog, it was probably called this because they at some point lost access/moved from their previous blog @jiao-ji)
And here jiaoji is bragging on their tumblr about feeling too lazy to even rewrite someone else's work
Their ao3 is "Jiao_ji" where they have 16 works total, most of which are in portuguese, making it harder to verify which ones are stolen, as a lot of their "sources" are probably in english. (Most of the fics they have written on tumblr itself are also in english) They also have a wattpad account with the url "Dilf_ji"
As a bonus here they are 2 years ago whining about zhancheng authors blocking them because it means they can no longer steal their fics, this has been going on for a while.
And talking a bit more about stealing from chengxian and zhancheng authors:
While I haven't written any jiang cheng ships, I am a fic writer, and I know the work that goes into it. I can work on a single oneshot for months on end. So this kind of attitude, where if you hate a ship the author's work is just free for the taking, is appaling to me. Inspiration is normal, fandom is inherently transformative. Hell, ao3 has a "works inspired by" function for exactly that. But wholesale lifting someone's else's writing, only changing the ship and adding salt about a character you hate? Yeah, no. "Character bashing" fics aren't my cup of tea in the first place, but if you're going to do it, at least have the decency to write the damn things yourself.
I don't like doing callouts, so while I know that I can't really control anyone else's actions, I want to say for my own peace of mind... please just block this person. I don't wanna cause even more discourse. Remember: you don't feed trolls. I posted this because i think writers deserve to be warned when someone is maliciously stealing and editing their work, not to instigate harassment.

There are many side pairings the fans desperately wish that they were canon. Which one was it for you? I know there are many more, but I tried to limit it to 2 side pairings per story, and also only use a character once (Jiang Cheng and Shen Jiu have a lot of pairings), so comment if yours isn't listed (these are side pairings, so no main characters).

Jiang Cheng loves Wei Wuxian in his own way. It's just that he also loves hard like his mother loved their family. I think what he is really angry at Wei Wuxian for is that WWX left him when WWX promised that they will always be together.
His anger towards Wei Wuxian, I believe, stems from the ache of abandonment, a breach of brotherly vows.
I just know that when amidst solitude, Jiang Cheng yearns for the rekindling of their sibling bond, but finds himself adrift in the wake of his brother's divergence onto a separate path away from him — leaving behind only loneliness and regret.

Jiang Cheng and water.
Jiang Cheng taking a boat out and drifting across the lake. Above him the clouds are inching into ink black, the winds are picking up and the air is crackling with something. When the storm breaks, Jiang Cheng reclines onto the boat watching lightning flash across the sky.
Jiang Cheng swimming out from his private pier and crawling onto giant lotus leaves when he wants a break.
Jiang Cheng jumping into his private lotus pond to chill at the bottom. Sometimes he sleeps down there.
There's no real point to this other than Jiang Cheng and water is endlessly fascinating to me.
