#jiang disciples

[whumpbby]

In any Omegaverse AU where Jiang Cheng is an omega, I imagine that Yunmeng Jiang has a much higher ratio of omega cultivators (and cyvillians) than any other sect. It kinda makes sense to me that omegas would chose to go there is given a choice - with the Yunmeng sect being so very defensive, build around an omega leader that had no time for shit and protected his own with his life.

Where else would they go?

To the Lan, that are so repressed that heats happen in seclusion and everyone is required to mute their scent 24/day and you can't openly find an alpha to fuck out of wedlock?

The Nie, led by alphas and basing their hierarchy on physical prowess? They don't discriminate against omegas - not in the usual way at least. But being the "weaker gender" never worked for anyone in Qinghe.

The Jin? Please -___- Jin Guangshan left the sort of a legacy that no omega worth their salt wanted to risk.

Yunmeng Jiang it is.

And the choice is a good one, because while Jiang Cheng doesn't cosnider his secondary gender anything pay attention to - he's okay with allowing his disciples the freedom to express it how they want. As long as the job is being done and no one disgraces the sect, the omegas can do what they want with their heats, the alphas can woo uninterrupted, children happen in and out of wedlock (more people, yay!). When out of wedlock, the kids are claimednby the Sect and raised by a flock of aunties (older omegas that lost their families in the war and needed to be givena job - JC found them a job) and it all kinda goes on.

Merging it with the idea that most of the Jiang disciples are basically Wei Wuxian 2.0. Jiang Cheng is the one outlier ruling over a pack of Wei Wuxians that think he's the bee's knees!

So, he ends up with a pack of gender-varied disciples that adore him and want the best for him, and are incredibly pushy about helping him with anything and everything.

And it all comes to head when post-novel, the disciples see their Leader brought to a lower point that they've ever seen him. And, the worst part, he's not healing.

The omegas in the pack instantly pinpoint the issue - with the pup (Jin Ling) gone, their sect leader has nothing to distract him from the dark clouds hanging over him. Nothing to make him want to wake up in the morning, apart from running his sect. It's a very dangerous position for an omega to be in.

Zgonghzu didn't even go through a heat in ages! There's nothing to take his mind off things, not even a bit of physical pelasure. That's very bad.

They are the only thing Jiang Cheng has left, so they have to start pulling their weight. They have to save their sect leader!

The plotting begins.

long hard day of rolling up ur sleeves to break up fights and make soup

#魔道祖师 #mdzs #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #mxtx characters #jiang disciples #lotus pier #yunmeng siblings

[lanjiangs]

the lotus pier of jiang chengs childhood is gone, its disciples and vendors, even its stray cats ran off or died in the fires. but the world repeats itself in funny ways and as the years go on from its rebuilding some of the things he remembers come back. one day jiang cheng notices that the shimeis use the same pond as their predecessors to get away from the boys, without having ever met them, the new merchants that move into town find themselves laying out their stalls in the same formation, he finds a stray with her kittens tucked away into the same corner as the cats from his childhood had used, despite the whole area having been burnt and rebuilt. his youngest disciples sit in the same corner of the food hall, the older ones find the same inns to drink at, the teens still dare each other to jump from that one tree into the lake. the lotus pier of his childhood may be gone, his parents, sister and brother too, but things have a funny way of repeating themselves that are both excruciatingly painful and warm at once.

#(i always figure at least a couple of the disicples died and i imagine quite a few merchants so i know some of this will come from #knowledge being passed down) #but some things and places will always make human hearts happy and we dont change that much in nature from generation to generation #i like to imagine jc coming across his littlest disciples playing the same playground games he and wwx and his peers did #and it snaps him out of his bad mood and just watches #new life in a place that once held so so much brutal death #i think its the idea of hes rebuilt yes but a sect is only a sect with people being people and to see his home #come back to life rather than being this husk of itself would break and soothe his heart #jiang cheng #yunmeng jiang #jiang disciples #mine #cql #*a couple disciples SURVIVED not died lol i know most of them are super dead

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #Yungmang Jiang Training Arc AU #lan wangji #wei wuxian #digital art #Trying out some digital techniques to see if I can get closer to feel/style of my traditional comics. #So far the biggest difference is *colouring* Digital colouring feels...not good. I have complained about this before and I'll complain agai #Before we get into the sad stuff with Yungmeng Jiang in the PD-MDZS comics lets have some lighthearted fun! #Remember that if anything bad happens to these Jiang disciples in the canon comic - they are happy in this AU B'*) #I think one of the funniest things about the teenxian dynamic is how WWX accidently finds things that get LWJ to feel flustered. #My guy wwx goes 'I'm going to lightly bully/tease this nerd 'cause his reactions are funny.' and LWJ goes “My god. He's everything to me.” #Part two of the fun part of this dynamic is that LWJ is ever so lightly self aware enough to LOATHE THIS CRUSH. #Hence why I have been marinating on this 'Accidental Lan headband miscommunication' concept. #This is how LWJ assumes that WWX knows what the band means in this AU. This will be relevant later. #And YES! I am still going to be making comics for this AU. I have so many ideas I simply can't hold onto forever.

like i don’t understand xi//cheng to begin with but conceptually i think it’s even funnier when ppl are like “and jingyi is their son!! 🥹” as if jingyi is not canonically ragging on jc at every single opportunity presented to him (and then some)

like this is their dynamic

#mdzs talk #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #jiang cheng #lan xichen #lan jingyi #if you’re into that. like. you do you!! #have a great time!! #i just. #conceptually it’s too funny #like rambunctious disciple + sect leader he kind of respects + sect leader he wouldn’t hesitate to drop kick into the sun #jc doesn’t know who the fuck this kid is #but if he’s got beef with him well. #jc isn’t one to back down from a fight. #jingyi tries to fight him and jc punts him into next week #(after which he may or may not have an awakening) #what kind? you choose #greatest hits

jin ling feels like hes being...watched... >_>

#jiang cheng #jin ling #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #jcd = jiang chengs disciples #inspired by that scene in the novel where it mentions that jc had his disciples disguise themselves so they can stalk jl's first night hunt #pls dont look at how i drew his stance. i tried my best q_q #yes zongzhu ur disguise is impeccable no zongzhu he wont suspect a thing #canon jc

[mediocretosubpar-soup]

Fun idea:

Wei Wuxian gets his own Yunmeng Jiang disciples in disguise squads. This is because one time Jin Ling mentioned that Wei Wuxian was hurt on a night hunt and Jiang Cheng's anxiety levels hit a new peak, so he, in the fashion of people who take their hot iron on vacation, put assigned a squad of Yunmeng Jiang disciples as a protection detail.

YMJ disciple: So you want us to observe Wei Wuxian to study demonic cultivation?

JC (dead serious but also lying through his teeth): Absolutely, WWX is the foremost expert but he'll never tell us his secrets. It is of utmost important that he remain alive and well, so we can study him to ensure we are prepared for new demonic cultivation inventions.

YMJ disciple (not buying this for a second but willing to give the SL some face: Sounds legit.

-

A few months into the assignment.

YMJ disciple A (distressed) about WWX: He totally knows!

YMJ disciple B: He knows nothing.

YMJ disciple C: I've been a random rogue cultivator, a helpful villager and then a conveniently wandering on the same night hunt. That man can't remember faces for shit.

#mdzs #jiang cheng #ideas that i like to rotate in my head #yunmeng jiang sect #in the spirit of that post comparing jiang cheng to a herding dog #jiang cheng and his herding tendencies #wei wuxian #how long until ymj disciples run a challenge #on how dumb their disguises can get before wwx notices? #lwj is a whole 'nother game #jc can and will assign them #remedial lessons on diplomacy #he will not have a repeat of ... #still if lwj ever crosses the line by insulting jc #all bets are off

And now updated Sect Leader Jiang a la El Jaleo by John Singer Sargent. I’m glad you all liked this concept from when I posted the value study earlier (seriously I didn't expect that many people to like a simple value study but such is the genius of Sargent)…the enthusiasm made me more excited to finish the piece!

Sure he’s not gripping Zidian very well and I don’t see how he wouldn’t slice off his own leg with Sandu positioned like that, but it looks awesome so it all works out. Probably. Sargent has always been willing to make stuff up for the aesthetics.

Now for a detail view of Sandu Shengshou:

See under the cut for my head canons for the OG JC stans, the gremlin disciples.

Which disciple are you?

(1) Xichen?! He let himself in I had no say 2) Having a good time 3) Probably a Spider from Yu Sect. V proud of SLJ 4) Jiang Sect musician. San xian [a traditional Chinese instrument] which is made of snake skin 5) Always wants a glimpse of Sect Leader but is subtle about it 6) Wants a glimpse and is LOUD and PROUD about it 7) Hype squad! Particularly hypes feral JC even more 8) VP of SDSS fan club. Jin Ling is Prez obvs.)

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #lan wangji #nie huaisang #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full). #I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk. #Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up. #He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day. #I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am #But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour. #I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on. #Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat. #LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine. #NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early. #His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game. #Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws. #And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary. #Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag. #So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it. #And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

[soph-skies]

one of my fav things about the untamed is the seemingly unlimited number of disciples like. there’s the final battle against the wens. dozens of disciples die, literally only the main characters survive. there’s talk of total loss and destruction, everyone is gone. cut to next scene: every sect is shown to have nearly as many disciples as they were depicted as starting with. rinse and repeat after every battle.

#genuinely has me in hysterics #lightens the mood quite a bit thinking of the amount of extras who keep dying and changing to a different sect’s outfit and dying and changi #i can’t take the battles seriously #the numbers discrepancies and the overdramatic cgi have me in tears #losing my mind laughing #rip to the nameless disciples y’all were real ones #mdzs #the untamed #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #lan zhan #lan wangji #wei ying #jin zixuan #<- the only ones to survive that battle #yet show up IMMEDIATELY afterwards with a whole new crew of disciples

[layzeal]

something about the way wwx, against all odds and against his own plans, just kept living and surviving through events that he was certain would kill him, so by the time sunshot ends and his heart is still beating he just becomes... mellow

#he wasn't meant to have survived the core surgery. but he did #he wasn't meant to have survived the burial mounds. and he did #he knew damn well the risks of that surgery and he knew that making through these events alive was a slim chance #and somehow. because he's god's favorite pincushion #he just kept surviving #and by the time sunshot ends all he can do is drink and hang out with his ghost girls #all the disciples he knew are dead and he can't train the new ones. he doesn't have a core. he can't keep up #everything he has are the jiang siblings. his wine. and his ghosts #and i don't think he knew what he was supposed to do after that #he was living day after day and ???? then what? #how long will you keeo this secret wheb you're living under the same roof as the one you're keeping it from #idk where im going with this im just #i think post-sunshot pre-burial mounds wwx is a guy that wasn't supposed to be alive #which is why he's either super mellow or angry #he's not part of this cultivation world anymore and he knows it #two years of guidao instead of sword? ok #but ten years? twenty? people will be questioning #he hadn't planned to survive for this long and now that he did he doesn't know what to do with himself #modao #lace speaks

[liziocit]

If Wei Wuxian's parents were still alive, you can bet that he wouldn't have to hide scars that came from zidian, he wouldnt have to smile away his pain because that was the only way to get throught, he wouldn't have to listen to people speaking ill of his parents and he probably wouldnt have felt that he needed to give up his golden core either.

He would have probably had scars that came from tripping or falling like all children do, he wouldnt hide them either. He'd just smile and recount the story with joy. If he felt pain, he would go to his parents and they would comfort him with warmth and reassurance that they were there for him. And he would only hear laughter and loving words from his parents, because they would never need to tell him harsh, unforgiving words.

#wei wuxian's childhood in lotus pier #is so sad #on one hand he got his fellow jiang disciples who he probably loved teaching but on the other #he lived thru the abuse of madam yu then he was told at the end of it all #to die for the jiang hiers if neccesary #mdzs #wei wuxian #wei changze #cangse sanren
