Whenever I try to imagine relationship between adult Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng, it's always JC going "boo-hoo, now that he's all grown up, he will fly away from the nest and forget all about me and leave my old bones to rot as things should be" and JL going "FINALLY. FINALLY IT'S MY TURN TO FUSS OVER YOU".

Something like this:

JL: When was the last time you touched grass? No. No, look me in the eyes. Answer the question. When was. The last time. You touched grass? Okay, I'm staying here and I'm not going anywhere until you touch grass. Go on, do it. No. No, don't you dare! Come on. Just a little bit, it's okay. There you go! Wasn't so bad, was it? --------------------------- JC (staying in the distance, holding hands to his mouth and shouting): IS IT ENOUGH BASKING IN THE SUN????? JL (watching him from afar, also holding hands to his mouth and shouting): FORTY SECONS DOESN'T COUNT AS 'BASKING IN THE SUN'!!! JC: FUCK!!! ---------------------------

(Jiang Cheng and Jing Ling are enjoying dinner in silence, when suddenly--) JL: Name three good things that happened to you recently. JC: *grumbles* JL: Come on. JC: Uhh..... Okay, I..... Uuuuuuugh... I saw a cute dog yersteday! JL: Oh, that's a good one. I'll count this for two. JC: Aaaand I just named a good thing that counts for two? JL: That's two plus zero. Think harder, uncle.

--------------------------- JC: Sometimes I wish you flew away from the nest and left my old bones to rot. JL: You should have thought about it before taking care of me.

---------------------------

JL: From now on you will sleep at least six hours per night. JC: No. JL: It's either that or hugging Wei Wuxian next time you see him. JC: Six hours is good, I can do that. (Jiang Cheng turns Lotus Pier upside down to find a rat who keeps reporting to Jin Ling about his sleep schedule. He can't find that person. Of course he can't! They are ALL rats!)

#JC had several people in disguise to check on JL's whereabouts #JL spent half of his childhood at Lotus Pier so he just went and conspired with the WHOLE LOTUS PIER to make JC live a good life #imagine JC sniffing flowers while writhing and hissing (literally) because little joys are a foreign concept to him #but don't worry he's in good hands he'll get there #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #jiang cheng #jiang wanyin #jin ling #jin rulan #mdzsips

Seeing Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian content always makes me emotional, but when people make it seem like there's a universe where Jin Ling would love Wei Wuxian more than Jiang Cheng—

Jiang Cheng raised that boy on his back. He went through trauma after trauma and yet dedicated his everything to raising Jing Ling

Jiang Cheng went to Lanling and said "so sorry your heir was killed by the Ghost General, anyways, I'm taking his son to a ruined Lotus Pier for half the year because I'm his uncle and will fight every single one of you—"

Put some damn respect on my man's name.

That's Jiang "Im A Sect Leader But I Will Follow My Nephew In His Nighthunts" Cheng

Jiang "Who made you cry?" Cheng

Jiang "I'm his uncle, any last words?" Cheng

Get it right.

i know “jin ling has a ridiculous number of uncles” is kind of a stock joke, but. well first off as someone from a culture with big families jin ling has a normalsauce number of uncles to me like honestly seven uncles including dead ones and inlaws is very reasonable. but also just from a narrative perspective, whenever you have an intergenerational story with sworn brotherhood it’s pretty typical to wind up with a guy who has over half a dozen uncles who fucking hate each other. in legend of the condor heroes there’s a battle where the opposing army is accidentally entirely led by guo jing’s uncles. and it’s just normal

Tag: #mxtx side characters round 1

Characters & propaganda underneath the cut

Jin Ling from MDZS

Submission 1: He may be a brat, but he has a good heart and a friendly dog. He thinks he's the main character of a much less intense story which keeps almost getting him killed

Submission 2: Bestest boy in the whole world. He's got a dog! A helicopter uncle! His dad's sword! Yeah he can be a little brat but he's SIXTEEN okay (or thirteen, or whatever, MXTX HELP) and he's got an incredible capacity for forgiveness. He's so good!

Daoist nuns triplets from SVSSS

Submission: Authors of "Song of BingQiu" and the true culprits behind the ass wine extra. Stop crediting Liu Mingyan with their hard work!

Jiang Yanli from MDZS

“Madam Jin. A-Xian is my younger brother. A humiliation to him is not something trivial to me.” - Drama

Elder Sister Syndrome in its highest form who is just trying to protect her loved ones despite having no talent in cultivation.

Wiki Link

Xue Yang from MDZS

Submission: It's not that he's evil. He lacks empathy and he goes into a disassociative state and commits atrocities.

Yin Yu from TGF

Submission: The guy of all time. The most average god ever. Someone give him a break. His face is so average that Xie Lian thought it was fake

Xiao Xingchen from MDZS

No propaganda submitted

Originally a disciple of Baoshan Sanren, Xiao Xingchen left his home knowing he wouldn’t ever be allowed to return in the sole hopes of saving and helping others. He meets and befriends Song Lan, who later loses his eyes and home to Xue Yang. Xiao Xingchen begs Baoshan Sanren to give Song Lan his eyes, choosing to wander the world blind. Due to sacrificing his eyes, he’s unable to recognize Xue Yang, who tricks him into killing innocent people and later, Song Lan, the person he wanted to save the most.

Wiki Link

Qin Wanyue from SVSSS

Submission: Scum Villain's wettest and most pathetic loser! Of course, she's so pathetic that she's constantly overshadowed by more bombastically pathetic characters, but I think she deserves her chance at recognition.

Bai Jing / Brocade Immortal from TGCF

Submission: no 1 ling wen simp (just like me fr)

Wiki Link

A-Qing from MDZS

Propaganda: She's so smart. She tricked so many people into thinking she was blind for so long. Also, she was really kind and considerate. Like she didn't have to save all of those people from Xue Yang. Oh and she's an excellent judge of character and super brave. Really hope she wins, she's such a fun little genius girl

"You piece of shit! Dream on! You don't deserve to call Daozhang unclean. You're just a pool of spittle! Daozhang must be the unluckiest man in the world to have met you! You're the only one who’s dirty! It's only a disgusting pool of spittle like you!" — A-Qing’s last words to Xue Yang

Mu Qingfang from SVSSS

Submission: Ppl tend to completely forget he has a mad scientist side (see Jinlan arc) and if he gets into the tournament I'll have a reason to bring it up.

Ling Wen from TGCF

Submission: Girlboss. Did nothing wrong

One of the Three Tumors - three Heavenly Officials that have some of the worst reputations after Xie Lian (“the laughing stock of the three realms”) - and was accused of, like, killing a dude or smth but was accepted back into Heaven on the sole basis that she’s the only administratively competent god

Pei Ming from TGCF

One of the Three Tumors - three Heavenly Officials that have some of the worst reputations after Xie Lian (“the laughing stock of the three realms”) - due to his EXTENSIVE manwhore ways. Like, when the ghost mother of a fetus spirit claims her child is/was the child of a Heavenly Official, EVERYONE thinks it’s him. What can he say, his reputation precedes him

Shang Qinghua / Airplane from SVSSS

Submission: He's a sidekick and he's so sidelined that despite creating the universe he's treated as an afterthought - doubly a side character! But also? So relateable. He would absolutely have been on tumblr in his first life, he gets so excited about his blorbo who treats him terribly (until they finally get a happy ending in the extras - also! he has to wait for the extras to get his happy ending! very side-character of him). He holds the fascinating position of being mostly irrelevant to the story and yet without him the themes would totally fail. He deserves a win on something for once, okay?

Wen Qing from MDZS

Submission 1: Doctor, mad scientist, war criminal, protective big sister... she has the range!!

Submission 2: Wen Qing my beloved!! She did surgery on a grape. Mad genius for real. Also a loving sister with a very sharp tongue and maybe no sense of how far is too far. Can't wait for them to find her alive in a Koi Tower basement!

Submission 3: Justice for my girl!!!!

Submission 4: She's bitchy and pragmatic and cares deeply and did an unprecedented operation (experimental and nonconsensual!), what's not to love? Also she deserved better.

Bichen from MDZS

Lan Wangji’s sword

Submission: this sword has been through a lot…

Wiki Link

Fairy from MDZS

Jin Ling’s dog that was gifted to him by Jin Guangyao

Submission: The cutest, smartest, and goodest doggo! She's the one who led WangXian to the Nie sword tomb to save Jin Ling! and led Jiang Cheng to Guanyin Temple to save Jin Ling! and led Lan cultivators to the temple to help Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen (and Jin Ling!)

Wiki Link

Ning Yingying from SVSSS

Submission: Her glow-up in the SVSSS timeline is real! Instead of becoming Luo Binghe's childhood sweetheart, she roasts him for referring to her too familiarly. Love this for her.

Su Xiyan from SVSSS

Girlboss

Wiki Link

Mobei-jun from SVSSS

Submission: He's a demon tsundere who doesn't realize his human boyfriend is scared and easily squishable. Got demoted from king to cabinet minister during a hostile takeover but is pretty chill about it. Huge boobs.

Zhuzhi-lang from SVSSS

Submission 1: Snake boy my beloved

Submission 2: I love him

Luo Binghe’s Harem from SVSSS

Submission: Binghe's harem the whole collection all of them together an amalgamation of all the wives

Jiang Cheng from MDZS

Submission 1: Extremely traumatized yet also somehow the most normal and functional by the end. Huge bitch but I (and at least one of the other characters) think he deserves to be even worse after everything he's been through

Submission 2: Simultaneously badass and the most cringefail man. Extremely funny and stylish but still manages to be very uncool. Cries a lot. Also he's lost a lot of tumblr polls—let's give him another shot! We definitely love him more than his dad did!

Submission 3: He's got mommy issues AND daddy issues. He loves his sister and his shige so much. He's traumatised and incredibly competent. He rebuilt his whole sect! He's an asshole (affectionate). He's purple! He's got the coolest weapon ever conceived. I'm so worried about his blood pressure basically all the time.

Su Minshan / Su She from MDZS

Submission 1: Idk I just kinda like him

Submission 2: Look at him having his own life and grudges and friendships and priorities completely unrelated to the main characters! He was so right to curse Jin Zixun

Tianlang-jun from SVSSS

Submission: Incredible character who does it like him

Quan Yizhen from TGCF

Submission: He's a good boi and thinking about him makes me cry a lil'.

Literally only ascended to Heaven to follow his shixiong, hated it, and then his shixiong was cast out for trying to kill him. Also, the “revered-martial-artist-who-beats-up-his-supporters/subordinates-and-is-still-loved” trope

Song Lan from MDZS

No propaganda submitted

Died to the one person he desperately wanted to apologize to (Xiao Xingchen), and when Xiao Xingchen, unable to recognize him due to giving Song Lan his eyes, killed him, Song Lan chose not to use his sword, knowing Xiao Xingchen would recognize it

Wiki Link

Lan Xichen from MDZS

Submission: Pay your respects to the captain of the WangXian ship! Those idiots would keep pining for another 13282627 years if it weren't for him!

Sha Hualing from SVSSS

Submission: Her cringefail losergirl swag has captivated me

Wen Ning from MDZS

Submission emitted for potential character hate

Chose kindness again and again - sheltering Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng from the other Wens, sacrificing himself with his sister to save Wei Wuxian and the Wen Remnants - only to inadvertently/paritally cause Wei Wuxian’s downfall & the seige on the Burial Mounds with his own hands by killing Jin Zixuan (not of his own will, btw). Another tragic character who sacrificed and put himself at risk to protect people who died anyway

Gongyi Xiao from SVSSS

Submission: He is such a Good Person who didn't deserve his fate :(

Mianmian / Luo Qingyang from MDZS

Girlboss instantly shut down the misogynists in her clan by leaving without hesitation. Iconic work.

Wiki Link

Six Balls from SVSSS

Submission: When he was born he weighed as much as six balls. Current ball number unknown.

I am here to talk about my OCs!

Because @elianaroselight and I have talked about them so much we developed 4 RPs about them (that have been going for over a year now) and got a whole system going

Buckle up, it's long

First, there's Ju Ling's family, who now has 3 mates and 7 children (without counting the ones she lost). Her mates are Ju Jing the oni, Ri Shi and the white tiger of the west, Baihu. Her siblings are Hua and Ping, who have, respectively, the vermilion bird of the south, Zhuque, and the azure dragon of the east, Qinglong, as their mates.

Then there's Yue Shi and his mate Fengbao. Feng became friends with their doctor Jiahao, who had two twin kits that became friends (and enemies if you ask Shu) with Feng's kits. Jiahao's husband is Pingyi, who teaches sign language, and is friends with Ju Jing because he and his sister (name missing) were all at the same orphanage. Pingyi is also Cixin's teacher, Zan's adopted son. He's not mute or def but has trouble speaking and often communicates by repeating sounds or words (in the voice of the person that spoke them). Cixin and Tai Shi (one of Ju Ling's cubs) have pet ducks together.

The biological mothers of Tai Shi and the rest of the tiger cubs are Lan (who has Tai Shi, 2 tiger cubs that she lost, and Ju, a lynx cub she adopted) and An (who has Jingyi, Ling Min, Heng and Yawen) Tai Shi's dad is Qiong Qi, no one likes him. Baihu is the father of the other cubs. Depending on the AU, An and Lan are platonic mates with Ju Ling and the others and live in a huge ass house.

But anyway, Baihu is a big sweetheart who does his best to be a good baba. He loves seafood and spicy food and Ju Jing and Ri Shi very much feed into that. Lan grew a passion for gardening and plants and it was a great bonding moment for her and Ju Ling.

But anyway, all of An's cubs are adorable Jingyi likes plants and helps her moma with her garden. She even found a salamander once and wanted to keep it as a pet. Heng loves the sky and the sea, which works well with his uncle Ping, who works at an aquarium, and his yeye who used to be an astrologist. Yawen likes the sky, but specifically the clouds. He loves Wukong's nimbus and asks him to conjure it any time he comes over. And Ling Min is a little fighter that loves dragons and adores her gugu Mei.

Then there is Bai He's family. Obviously, her parents are the general Ba and Beng. Her wife is Zhi Hao, a gibbon demon the size of a wardrobe which works as a blacksmith. So you know, guaranteed thirst trap. Their children are Hua Mei, the oldest girl, Hao the only boy, and their twins Guiyin and Li Lei who is named after the empress of the kingdom of women, who Bai He is friend with.

There's also Kai Hu's group of friends! They call themselves the lost ones because Kai's cousin calls him Peter Pan. They are Chao a cat fish demon (not a catfish. a cat and fish demon), Juan a one-eyed cat demon, Fen a bunny demon, Bo the only human and Huangshu, a gibbon demon that was adopted into Kai's family and became his cousin.

And then there's Shu's group (she is one of Yue Shi and Fengbao's triplets kits), aka Lupin gang wannabe. Shu is of course Lupin, then we have Leale, a dog demon who is 100% based on Jigen, I'm not even going to hide that, and just discovered that he has 2 siblings, and Rampion, who was made as a joke with Skelle but he fits in this group of misfits. And I can't forget the Fujiko of the group, Junjie, who is also one of Jiahao's kits. The other one of Jiahao's kits is Xinyi who married Bao, Shu's second brother.

Last group that I can remember is Ling Min's family. Her mate is Hebo, a leopard gecko demon, and their adopted kids: Xu Qiu a dear and lion demon, Bian a they/them human, Hongbo an otter demon and Wuyue a baby lizard demon that Xu Qiu found in the snow

The Ravages of Time episode 3

So at the end of this card it says “excerpt from “The Records of the Three Kingdoms” – biography of Liu Bei. “The Records of the Three Kingdoms” does have a Liu Bei chapter, but it is titled “Biography of the Former Lord” (and in the translation below he will be addressed as such, according to the original source as well as the text on the card in the donghua). There is, however, a computer game titled “The Records of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Liu Bei”. As you can imagine, that made my search a little more complicated than it had to be.

“The Records of the Three Kingdoms” has never been fully translated into English, but there were plans to do so, that were regrettably discontinued. Still, William Gordon Crowell, who was working on the project, kindly made the otherwise unpublished completed parts of the translation public, along with his translator’s notes.

The donghua card presents an abridged version of the opening paragraphs of the chapter; I took the liberty to edit Dr. Crowell’s translation to fit the card text as well as for general readability or to bring them in accordance with the terminology I use in my other translations. I have omitted most of the notes except for the explanation on Liu Bei’s looks; I suppose the details on geography and personas mentioned there will be of little interest to most, but if you want to know more, I encourage you to look into the full translation – it is available for free and easily googlable.

Episode 3

From historical records on Liu Bei The Former Lord was surnamed Liu and had the given name of Bei and the courtesy name Xuande. He was a native of Zhuo prefecture in Zhuo commandery, and he was the descendant of a son of Emperor Jing of the Han, Prince Jing of Zhongshan [Liu] Sheng. The Former Lord's grandfather Xiong and his father Hong served in provincial and commandery offices. Xiong was recommended as filially pious and incorrupt, and he rose to become prefect of Fan in Dong commandery. When the Former Lord was young, he was left without a father. With his mother he wove mats to make a living. In his youth, when the Former Lord would play beneath a tree with other small children from his clan, he would say, “I must ride in this feather-covered chariot. His uncle Zijing said to him, “Don't talk so foolishly! You'll bring destruction on our house!” When he was 15, his mother sent him to study. With his clansman Liu Deran and Gongsun Zan of Liaoxi he became a disciple of the former grand administrator of Jiujiang commandery, Lu Zhi who was from the same commandery. Liu Deran's father, Yuanqi, frequently gave the Former Lord material support. Yuanqi's wife said, “Each has his own family. How can you regularly do this?” Yuanqi replied, “This boy is in our clan, and he is an extraordinary person.” The Former Lord did not enjoy studying. He liked dogs and horses, music, and dressing in fine clothing. He was 7 chi 5 cun (173 cm) tall, and his hands hung down to his knees. He was able to look back and see his own ears [1]. Humble before good people, he did not manifest his happiness or anger in his look. He enjoyed associating with braves, and in his youth he fought and hung out with them. The great merchants from Zhongshan, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, had riches of several thousands in gold. They sold horses, and they made a circuit through Zhuo commandery. They happened to see Liu and were struck by him, so they presented him with much money and wealth. With this, the Former Lord was able to assemble a group of followers. At the end of the reign of Emperor Ling, the Yellow Turbans rose up, and every province or commandery called up righteous armies. The Former Lord led his adherents, and under Colonel Zou Jing attacked the Yellow Turban bandits with distinction. He was appointed commandant of Anxi. – excerpt from “Records of the Three Kingdoms” – Biography of Liu Bei

[1] These physical idiosyncrasies were thought perhaps to be signs that Liu Bei had been destined to be ruler. Miyakawa Hisayuki has suggested that this description of the large ears and long arms may show the influence of Buddhist iconography from the sutras that had recently arrived in China. The size of Liu's ears, at least, appears not to have been a literary invention, for Lü Bu referred to him as the “big-eared boy.” “Looking back” and being able to see his own ears perhaps means they could be seen with his peripheral vision. The “braves” were ruffians with a code of honor, albeit one at odds with officially sanctioned moral values. Generally viewed by the government as potential threats to the social order, they were often considered heroes by the populace.

And into the spoilers we go!

Shuijing villa - Shuijing means bright, can be used in the sense of a person's brilliance. Literally means "bright as a mirror". The villa here refers specifically to a mountain villa.

I'm afraid there isn't much I can say about the Liu Bei and his companions in the context of the coalition against Dong Zhuo. It is for sure known that they participated in the campaign, but that's about it. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms popularized some fictional events of it, like the 3-vs-1 fight of the trio against Lü Bu, but I'm not sure if those will be included in this donghua. Liu Bei is described as a cunning tactician though, so I can imagine the donghua scenes happening.

Still, I'll give a bit more background info on all three. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are probably the most famous example of sworn brothers. Around the time of the Yellow Turban rebellion (more on that on another episode) they gave the famous oath in the peach garden - or at least, so the legends and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" say. The actual chronicles only mention the three were "as close as brothers", but the idea is still firmly ingrained in the collective conscious. There are even temples dedicated to the three of them - lit. called "Temples of the Three Righteous".

The above text only mentions he helped his mother make straw mats, but in the cut part shoes are also mentioned; as such, Liu Bei is sometimes worshiped as a god of shoemakers.

Largely thanks to the novel, Liu Bei is commonly regarded as an example of a benevolent and humane ruler, because of the author's preference for him. Considering that The Ravages of Time is mainly considering Sima Yi's point of view (and Liu Bei and Sima Yi will later lead rivaling kingdoms) I was actually rather surprised by the rather sympathetic portrayal of him in the donghua.

Still, while Liu Bei's political decisions and ruling philosophy can be discussed at length, there is no doubt that his choice of companions caused him trouble more than once.

Liu Bei was considered the eldest of the three brothers; the second was Guan Yu (courtesy name Yunchang). His life has been even more glorified than Liu Bei's - and since the Sui dynasty (581-618) he's been considered a deity. In fact, to this day, he is worshiped both in Buddhism and Taoism, as well as respected in other philosophies and religions, to say nothing of the Chinese folk tradition.

Still, despite this truly overwhelming veneration from pretty much all the following dynasties, the records say that despite his righteousness, he was "unrelenting and conceited", which proved to be his downfall..

Finally, the third brother was Zhang Fei (courtesy name Yide), whose main shortcomings - his quick temper and brutality - are the things he's most well-known for, and in a lot of ways he can be seen as the opposite of Guan Yu. While there are accounts of him composing poetry in the middle of the battle, it is by far overshadowed by his cruelty towards his soldiers and the fights he got into, sometimes dragging his sworn brothers into trouble as well.

(Just to complete the picture, yes, Zhang Fei is also sometimes worshiped along with Guan Yu.)

Regardless of all that, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were regarded as mighty warriors "worth a thousand men", as well as loyal followers of Liu Bei's.

---

Some final thoughts - it definitely feels like the story is playing up the future main players to keep the cast a little more manageable and maybe to put the more recognizable faces in early. Also the extra drama! It's definitely fun, so I'm not complaining XD

Rusong finally arrives🤩🤩✨️

~Lan xichen has completed his seclusion~~

*After class, at the cloud recesses*

Our young dimpled prodigy was about to leave the room.

Xichen: A-Song. Stay back.

Rusong: oh, yes Zewu Jun. *bows*

Xichen: *stops* forget about the formalities. You're my A-Yao's son.

Rusong: mn.

Xichen: speaking of which. Are you going to meet him?

Rusong: yes! Now I feel like I'm an accomplished cultivator. Thanks to your supervision and tutoring. I'll certainly meet A-Die and live with him in Jing Manor.

Xichen: he'll be so happy. *strokes head*

Xichen: does anyone know that you're a hulijing?

Rusong: no. Only Ling gege.

Xichen: you know you're very skilled.

I'm so proud of you.

You memorized all the rules, mastered the guqin, guzheng, dizi and the xiao. Remembering all scores perfectly. And your sword skills are remarkable.

Rusong: thank you, Zewu Jun.

Xichen: whenever I see you, I see Ayao

Rusong: *smile*

You know, Zewu Jun. One time, four fox spirits came to help me with my homework. But then I told them that it's not necessary.

Xichen: *laughs* maybe your A-Die sent them.

Rusong: generous of A-Die.

Sometimes I see them cleaning my room, lol.

Xichen: he'll pamper you more when you go to Jing Manor.

Rusong: I miss A-Die so much.

But Zewu Jun, is it true that you're going to marry my A-Die? Master Qiren keeps going on and on about how his nephew became seduced by a hulijing.

Xichen: yes. *blush* soon I'll marry him and join his harem.

Rusong: awww. I'm so happy about this! I had always looked up to you, as well as A-Die. And now you're going to join the imperial harem!

Xichen: mn.

Rusong: we'll be a happy bunch!

My A-Die, the reigning Huangdi, you, uncle team dimple. And millions of adoring hulijings.

Xichen: cutie Song'er, are you going to help your A-Die with imperial stuff?

Rusong: of course.

And people already love me

Xichen: very good.

Since you're here. Won't you care for some tea? I know you're a tea enthusiast like your A-Die.

Rusong: yes. Thank you. I would like some.

Xichen: *pours* here you go.

Little Dianxia.

Jing Manor 📍.

A-Yao was busy setting things in place for Rusong's arrival.

Hou and Fuying: Huangdi.

Yao: *opens fan*

Hou: we have prepared Wangzi's room.

Yao: *smiling* excellent.

Did you put the sweets and fruits that he like?

Fuying: yes Huangdi. Pine Pavillion is spotless.

(Pine Pavillion is Rusong's personal residence on the imperial compound. It's called Pine Pavillion because his name means 'like a pine tree'

Yao: great great.

Where is he now? Is he coming with A-Huan?

Fuying: I'm not sure.

Xue yang: Jiggybun. *props his arm on his shoulder* who are we preparing for! Little diva?

Su she: *correcting* little Dianxia!

Mo xuanyu: my beloved nephew. Don't tell Jinling.

anyways I love my two nephews equally.

Yao: yes! He's finally coming.

Su she: I'm also excited, Huangdi.

Rusong: *enters* A-Die!!

Yao: A-Song!!

Yao: *hugs* A-Song! Oh look at you! I missed you so much.

Rusong: I missed you too!

Yao: did you succeed in what you went to do?

Rusong: yes A-Die.

Yao: excellent.

You're well talented and intellectual! There's nothing you can't do.

Rusong: I'm glad I made you proud.

Yao: not only me. But the entire empire!

You're their gem.

Mo xuanyu: child.

Rusong: uncle mo!! *hug*

Mo xuanyu: how are you, darling?

Rusong: I'm feeling very happy, uncle Mo.

Mo xuanyu: you what will make you happier?

Rusong: a makeover?

Like how you did when I was younger.

Mo xuanyu: yes!!

Rusong: ok. You can give me a makeover later.

Xue yang: xuanyu, you have to toughen up the kid.

Rusong: uncle muffin!!

Xue yang: who you calling muffin.

Rusong: you!!

Xue yang: stop making me sound cute! I'm not cute!

Yao: you kind of are.

Xue yang: *whining* jiggy!!

Su she: greetings, little Dianxia.

Rusong: oh why are you so formal, uncle Su. *hugs*

Xue yang: why didn't I get a hug.

Rusong: I won't forget you, uncle muffin. Bring it in. * hug*

Yao: how cute.

A-Song, Let's go have some tea.

Rusong: sorry A-Die, I had tea with Shizun.

Yao: I see. You're pampered by er ge.

Perhaps you don't need me anymore. *sarcastic*

Rusong: no no, A-Die. I'm fine for now.

Yao: ok. I was just teasing you.

Rusong: hmm. *opens fan*

Yao: how graceful. *opens his fan*

Rusong: learnt from you.

Xue yang: the diva don't fall far from the diva tree.

Yao: *smile*

Attendants: *greeting*

Dianxia.

Greetings Dianxia.

Huangdi and Dianxia, we will groom your tails. It will relax you.

Both: thank you very much. *smiles the same way*

Ahhh, double dimples.

Huangdi has bestowed prosperity on his empire. By giving us double dimples.

Have your seats. *begins to groom them*

Rusong: A-Die, may I go night hunting tonight? Then tomorrow I'll take a tour around Jingjing.

Yao: *caresses his face* sure A-Song. You can do both.

I'll send some hulijings to guard you.

Minshan, can you call A-Song's personal bodyguards?

Rusong: no no no. That's not necessary, A-Die. I'll be safe. I have always done these kinds of things when no one knew my identity.

Yao: oh A-Song. I care about you and your safety. Yet I know that you're strong enough to handle things by yourself.

Rusong: mn.

Yao: my A-Song is all grown up.

Rusong: I'm still your baby, A-Die.

Yao: awww. *kisses him on his forehead*

But A-Song.

Rusong: yes A-Die

Yao: putting night hunts behind. During your tours you must carry your bodyguards.

Rusong: sure. But can they be hidden?

I want to make a pseudonym for myself.

Rusong: haha, of course I am.

I'm the Wangzi.

Yao: I meant that Yunping district is now owned by you.

Also if any sect claim the district or cultivates there, they have to pay you an amount. Hence you have pocket money of 1 million dollars.

Rusong: waw! Thank you, A-Die. I'll definitely cherish everything you give me.

Yao: *squeezes his cheeks* good boy.

And speaking of gifts, I bought you new clothes and ornaments. *claps twice* how are they?

Attendants: *walking in*

Su she: as he should.

Mo xuanyu: A-Song is just like you, Yao gege.

Xue yang: Jiggy, why are you and your family divas?

Yao: *laughing*

Xue yang: you and A-Song are divas, Zixuan is a diva, Qin Su maybe is a diva. Jinling as well.

Su she: lol. Is mo xuanyu one too?

Mo xuanyu: bro I'm always fab.

Yao: certainly.

Yao: anyways. I'll give A-Song everything he wants.

Meanwhile in Qinghe.

Huaisang: *sitting and plotting*

Zhao: Gongzi. He's here.

Huaisang: *startled* where?!

Zhao: Jing Manor, Gongzi.

Huaisang: right, right. Don't scare me like that.

Zhao: Gongzi, aren't you supposed to do something for your villain arc?

Huaisang: yes. *smile*

Good that his highness is here. Now why don't he pay us a visit.

Zhao: what should we do.

Hauisang: kidnap him, duh.

Zhao: sure!

Huaisang: soon those cultivators would be out night hunting. And our dear hulijing prince will be there. So. I guess. You know what to do.

Zhao: yea we'll kidnap hulijing Dianxia

Mingjue: Huaisang!!!

*barging in* what are you scheming about!

Huaisang: nothing dage. We were just talking!

Mingjue: and you're going to bully a child? Meng Yao's son!

Huaisang: I'm not, dage! Trust the process.

Mingjue: look. I can't be chasing away hulijings anymore. What if you do something to the hulijing prince. Of course they will attack us and invade Qinghe.

Huaisang: nothing will happen. I have a full proof plan.

Mingjue: *walks away* this child.

What full proof plan?!

Huaisang: *running up to him* it's a plan for our future.

If we kidnap the heir then it will be the end of the hulijing empire. And we'll be in the spotlight.

Mingjue: if you pick up a sword, it will be the end of my headache.

Huaisang: *whining* dage!

Mingjue: stop scheming. Scheming doesn't look good on you.

Huaisang: really. Does it make me look fat?

Mingjue: *rolls eyes*

Huaisang: ........

Mingjue:.........

Mingjue: are you free by the way? Or do you have more scheming to do.

Huaisang: I get the code. You want me to do over your braids! Yes Dage I'm free.

Mingjue: good. Let's go.

After a few more seconds of watching my poor nephew look between them and me extremely confused to the point of almost squirming. I've had enough so I say letting my anger seep through “I am Sect Leader Jiang so state your business.” to get their attention off of him.

They lazily look at me with the slightest smirk on their faces as if saying gotcha. That makes my temper rise and for just a second I wonder how they can push me worse than anybody else. But remember they have over 130 years of freaken practice! Then just as Fu Yao was about to talk Jing Ling seems to regain his voice as he says confused, “Uncle w-who are they? d-do you know them! If so , how! I dont remember you ever talking to travelers like these ones.”

Nan Feng asks with genuine curiosity “and what are we like?”

Without skipping a beat Jing Ling says “Creeps, you both seem like the kind of people that would stalk someone for no reason or beat someone up on a whim.”

It's only at the very last second I managed to hold in my laugh so my voice sounded strangled but nobody seems to notice luckily and I quickly manage to stifle it. I glance over to them and my laughing fit almost comes back. They almost fell off their chairs from genuine shock when he said creeps. Now I have no idea if I should congratulate or scold my nephew! He called them creeps! if only he knew who he was talking to! Then they look at each other, their poker faces gone as their confusion is evenident and I can tell they're talking in an array talking about how they could even be considered creeps. Soon anger coats their faces but soon turns back to confusion, sadness then acceptance.

The first thing Jiang Cheng spoils Jin Ling with is physical contact. He just can’t help it after Yanli’s death: whenever he sees baby A-Ling, he needs to hold him close, and thus he becomes the most tactile of newborn’s relatives. In return, baby grows very attached to Jiang Cheng too, and prefers to spend most of their time together in his jiujiu’s lap or somewhere nearby. This doesn’t change as he reaches his first exploring phase. Doing paperwork with a toddler in your lap, who must touch everything, must drop everything, will keep trying to lick ink is a task that seems impossible, but Jiang Cheng manages. Mostly. At times he’s too tired and resigned and lets Jin Ling have his way. He will calm down after getting ink all over table, uncle and himself, and then Jiang Cheng will be blessed with some quiet time, as young explorer recharges for his next big venture.

Soon enough this attachment becomes a problem.

Wherever Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng are reunited, the nephew won’t tolerate two hours apart from his uncle. At three years old Jin Ling already attends all negotiations and meetups hosted by Jiang Cheng. Many guests are less than happy about small child’s presence and some of them ask if maybe Young Master Jin should be somewhere else. But Sect Leader Jiang is unmovable: as a future Sect Leader, his nephew must start his training as soon as possible. Luckily, Jing Ling is either smart enough or too shy of new people, and behaves docile, so many skeptical guests start to respect and even consider this strategy of upbringing. The fact that Sect Leader Jiang was shamefully defeated and forced into obedience by furious tantrums of a small child remains a well-hidden secret.

Jin Ling’s tantrums are furious, dangerous even. Jiang Cheng learns very early that he must never schedule a night hunt while Jin Ling is at Lotus Pier. He can do any sort of arrangements with a kid in his arms by now, but there’s no way he’s taking him to a night haunt! Jin Ling sees his uncle about to leave and he cries and cries and cries and does so in such violent manner that doctors predict danger for his physical health.

The only way to return him safely to Lanling is for Jiang Cheng to take him himself. There Jin Ling can be distracted by other family members as Jiang Cheng makes his escape. Not that he wants to escape, really. Having a kid by your side all the time is quite addicting, and Jiang Cheng has to multiply his workload three times to make up for feeling of loss.

Despite all difficulties, Jin Ling’s huge attachment to Jiang Cheng proves to have many useful side effects. Jiang Cheng actually tries to make something good out of ink disasters, so he tries to teach Jin Ling to hold brush and draw lines even if he doesn’t understand what he’s doing. When actual writing lessons start, Jin Ling adapts quickly and experiences fewer troubles along the way than expected of a child. Taking Jin Ling anywhere with him means he rides with Jiang Cheng on a horse, which gradually leads to Jing Lin learning to ride on his own pretty early. At age six Jing Ling is very invested in coping adults and Jiang Cheng half-joking allows him to “assist” in youngest disciples’ training. This starts as turmoil for said disciples, who are confused about whose’ orders they should follow: Sect Leader’s six-years-old nephew or older disciple’s, who’s actually in charge of training. But by the time Jin Ling is twelve, he is so familiar with Jiang’s swordsmanship and training routine that he can successfully train Jiang’s newbies on his own, even if they are physically older than him.

Years go by, and naturally outside world becomes more tempting than comforting presence of his adults. Jin Ling develops a new talent, which is – to vanish into thin air. Jiang Cheng even holds an experiment at some time, when they head to town and he asks Lin Ling to stay put and wait for him outside just for a little while. He takes a few steps away, looks back – and yes, the kid is already gone. It’s remarkable. And terrifying. Jin Ling is at that age when he believes himself to be very cunning and all his plans nothing short of genius. Unfortunately, his assertions don’t match the reality, which earns many "fond" memories to him and his uncle, and also leads to Jiang Cheng developing a new habit of checking Jin Ling’s whereabouts every five minutes, but that’s a whole another age of their lives.

part 5: Work II

The bell above the door jing-a-linged as Officer Mooney left the store, excited about his rental and all the possibilities that Free Willy 2 could have in store for him. Jonesy gave him a professional, polite wave good-bye and buried her face in her arms on the counter. Max was already in the aisles, headed to the horror section to find himself a copy of the much maligned Chain-Slaughter 4: Last Rites.

The fourth installment of the franchise was released seven years ago, in October of 1989. It had been only a year ago, at that point, that Max had first laid eyes on the original Chain-Slaughter. The summer of 1988 was a formative time in his life, his Uncle Lucky had become his official legal guardian, he had his first kiss, and he was introduced to horror movies. He and Jonesy would watch whatever they could get their hands on. They stayed up late to watch Joe Bob's Drive-in Theater, scoured garage sales for tapes, snuck into midnight showings at the theater, and at the end of it all, Max’s Uncle Lucky gifted him the original Chain-Slaughter trilogy on vhs. It wasn’t his birthday, it wasn’t a holiday, Lucky had simply heard him talking about how he was obsessed with seeing them and just wanted to make him happy. Up until that point, that type of kindness from an adult had, honestly, been nonexistent from Max’s life. So, it was no surprise that when Chain-Slaughter 4 was on its way to theaters, Jonesy and Max were losing their minds in anticipation. It was even less of a surprise that the worst installment of the franchise held such a special place in Max’s heart. It was the first Chain-Slaughter, and the first horror movie he'd ever seen on the big screen. And while the movie going ritual was always something Max treasured, sometimes his best memories would be in the line waiting to get tickets. Killing time with his Uncle and Jonesy, playing the hand slap game, laughing at dumb jokes, all the small interactions they’d have with their fellow line-waiters; he appreciated the journey as much as the destination.

Jonesy had hated the movie, but that never mattered. The movie was terrible, but it could’ve been the best thing she’d ever seen and it still would have been one of the best moments of her young life. Up until that point she had never been to the theater. Her parents didn’t like movies, and her older brother was more into sports, so if he didn’t care, they certainly didn’t care. It was that night she first felt what it was like to belong somewhere. When she got older she realized what she was experiencing that night was an epiphany, that maybe I’ve never been weird, maybe I just hadn’t found my people. That night she slept over Max’s, watching the original Chain-Slaughters, eating pizza, and talking until three in the morning. It had been a perfect opening day.

Last Rites would end up being a confused mess of ideas. A slasher flick with a misguided science fiction bent, a blending of two genres that often taste great together, but in this case, ended up with a stew of curdled milk. Production problems, studio interference, at least five complete rewrites to the script, and even a director change mid-production led to one of the most baffling entries into the slash genre. The collective Chain-Slaughter fandom would refuse to acknowledge its existence only a few weeks later. It would take a couple more decades until Last Rites achieved even the most generous of cult classic statuses.

Max pushed the tape into the VCR next to the register, this one connected to the three TVs over the popcorn maker and the one that sat on their far right, directly on the counter pointed towards them. He rolled the duck tape bandaged desk chair over and made himself comfortable, putting his feet up next to the TV. Jonesy stood behind him, leaning on the counter and eating a handful of popcorn. She snickered at the opening shot of an asteroid crashing to earth.

“Shh!”

“This movie is so ridiculous,” Jonesy ignored him, “I actually, honestly, love the alien bounty hunters. They’re my favorite.”

“I love the one that’s like, are they in love with Edgar Salt? Like, I’ve always got such horny vibes from that one with the exceptionally large belt buckle.”

“At what point is a belt buckle so big it becomes a codpiece?” She chuckled.

“I think about 20 minutes into this movie.”

Jonesy shook her head and dusted off her hands of popcorn salt. “This movie’s so bad I gotta take a shit. I’ll be back.”

“Just so you know it’s considered ‘chronic’ if it interrupts your daily life.” Max said with a sly smile, never taking his eyes off the movie.

“That’s good to know, fuck you very much,” Jonesy flipped him off, “You know Grasso’s always fucks up my stomach!”

“Then stop eating it!”

“I do what I want!” Jonesy disappeared into the customer, single occupancy bathroom, locking the door.

Max grinned to himself and turned up the volume a notch on the TV.

Jonesy locked the door behind her, put down the seat on the toilet and sat down. She reached under her hat and pulled out three short, fat, blunts wrapped in plastic wrap. A wide, greedy smile spread across her face as she slowly passed them under her nose. Jonesy rolled her eyes in bliss; they smelled amazing. On the plastic she had written “DESSERT” in big block letters. She had scored these particular beauties from Kenny, local dealer and aspiring botanist. Max was a casual fan of a good high, but Kenny could see that Jonesy was a burgeoning enthusiast. He had invited her over to his place so he could show her what he was working on. They smoked and chatted, Kenny was a generally affable guy, he was basically a big teddy bear. Before she left he had given her three baby blunts of his newest strain, he wanted her to test it out and let him know what she thought. This gave Jonesy a kind of weird sense of pride. So far she had been very good at only a few things in her life: movie trivia, that riff from “Touch Me, I’m Sick,” and jerking off. Now she could add bud connoisseur to the list. Maybe she did have a future after all.

She lit it up and indulged long and deeply, “Ho-ly shit, dude.” In her ears her voice was like a river of molasses. “Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. Are you flirting with me?” She snorted at her own joke and took another hefty hit. The bathroom began to fill with thick plumes of sweet, fragrant smoke as Jonesy enjoyed her dessert. As the warm rush of dopamine enveloped her body, Jonesy’s eyes wandered down between her legs, she held the blunt between her lips, twiddled her fingers in the air and headed south “Don’t mind if I do…”

“We must extract his memories!” The alien bounty hunter jammed a rod-shaped device into the human’s skull. His eyes pulsated different colors as they ballooned and exploded, the now animatronic head screaming and bursting into flames. “Hm. Perhaps a lower level next time, Fleeg?”

“Bwahaha! Krem, you goof!” Max applauded, “Come on, how do people hate this movie??”

Scitter.

Max caught something moving out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look, but it was gone. He furrowed his brow and got himself comfortable again in his seat.

Scitter.

“Ok, what the fuck.” He looked around, but couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, but he could hear something. Movement. The sound of sharp little nails moving on carpet and some kind of plastic, maybe. Slowly, Max reached down under the counter, finding the “security” baseball bat. “Hey… Jonesy?”

Scitter, scitter!

He saw it this time, a dusty black ball of fur, a flash of a small black orb. It headed towards the back room, and he could have sworn it was dragging something along with it.

“Not on my watch!” Max hopped the counter and gave chase, baseball bat in hand.

He burst into the backroom just in time to see the tip of a wormy tail slip out of sight, through the hole in the door to the basement. Cautiously, he stepped forward, purposeful with each step until he reached the door. It creaked like so many spooky basement doors before it. The scitter-scitter on the cement floors below echoed from somewhere in the darkness, then a subtle metallic scraping noise. The staircase objected to Max’s approach, letting out soft croaks and groans with each step down. He finally reached the lightswitch at the bottom of the staircase, the fluorescent lights flickered to life with a tink tink, hrmmm. The basement of Popcorn Video was full of boxes and assorted junk. Old displays, yellowing posters, endless stacks of vhs. A rolling coat rack with extra uniforms, out of date uniforms, and random, tacky, promotional t-shirts. Two large, industrial looking shelves held even more vhs tapes, tools, lightbulbs, and other miscellaneous detritus. Sitting on one of those shelves were a few flashlights. Max picked one up and turned it on. It flickered and went out, but after a couple of solid smacks, the beam held. The bat had become a bit unwieldy, he put it aside and scanned the room for a new weapon. Max exclaimed in triumph as he discovered a claw hammer sitting in one of the abandoned tool boxes. He gave it a few test swings and, satisfied with its potential, added it to his inventory. He searched the basement with the flashlight, looking for any kind of hint as to where the creature may have gone, he remembered the metal scraping, but couldn’t quite put his finger on what could have made that sound. The spotlight focused on boxes, on shelves, dusty, broken shelving, until it stopped. It had passed over something a little too quickly. Max brought the light back to a large metal grate in the wall behind a stack of boxes. The bottom left of the grate was cracked and bent outward. He pushed the boxes out of the way, crouched down and aimed the beam of the flashlight into the vent. A pair of ghostly, disembodied eyes flashed back in the darkness. It seems he was being watched. The vent was large, about up to his knee and slightly wider than his shoulder. Crawling around in grungy tunnels filled with vermin wasn’t exactly a new experience for Max, more like a beloved, nostalgic, pastime. He pried open the grate, swapped the flashlight and the hammer into opposite hands, and began his entrance into the ominous shaft. Crawling in a few feet, he pointed the spotlight where he had seen the eyes and, sure enough, the creature hadn’t moved an inch. Sitting at the far end of the vent was a rat, a rat the size of a large cat, filthy, with oily fur and wet, red eyes, but none of these things disturbed Max more than what this monster of a rodent was holding. In its leathery little claws it held a Popcorn Video rental, the words, large and bold on the front, revealed its contents: “SEE YOU SOON (1966).” The rat gnawed on the corner of the box.

“Motherfucker!” Max bellowed in disbelief and excitement, “That’s mine!”

Startled, the beast darted down the rest of the vent, took a sharp left around a corner, and disappeared. Max gave chase, crawling after it, deeper and deeper into the vent, turning left and after a few more feet, coming to a steep drop. The ventilation shaft turned into a slide, it actually reminded Max of “the Great Fall,” a waterslide he had always been too afraid to go down as a kid at Neptune’s Kingdom Water Park. Fortunately, Max was pretty good at overcoming his fears. He beared down, gritted his teeth and took the plunge, just like he did in the summer of ‘89.

“Get fucked, Neptune!” The war cry echoed in the vents that same way it had in the waterslide tube seven years ago.

Mianmian / Luo Qingyang from MDZS

Highly principled and strong-willed. Immediately left her clan after they mocked her for supposedly having feelings for Wei Wuxian when she literally just mentioned he didn't kill indiscriminately. Now living her best life as a rogue cultivator with her husband and child.

She saw the injustice of her own clan firsthand and decided, “I'm not going to be a part of this. You're not listening to me, so fuck y'all.” And honestly, based.

#great sect brother! Dependable reliable and most of the time sorta sane #Great big brother to his younger sister #Stablest person around by a lot (still pretty off the rails) #Fought someone better than him every day for five years to get his best friend's body back for a burial #Got rescued from the plot for the specific purpose of saving someone back #and then had to watch that someone repeatedly not let him save them (via @rights-for-redshirts)

Shen Jiu from SVSSS

Submission:

He is a tragedy incarnate. He's got a tragic backstory, lives a tragic life, and meets a tragic end. Yeah, he's a child abuser and kind of a piece of shit, and being horrifically traumatized doesn't excuse that, but have you considered: He's my baby boy.

I just think he needs some kindness and deserves some nice things happening to him for once :'(

Also Airplane did him dirty
