Infinitely upset with the fact the mobile game has a different Jiang Cheng designs than any other adaptation. And I'm kinda in love with them for a few reasons... It's not really how I picture him in my head at all cause ive grown used to tight bun, sasuke bangs
but your telling me I could have had:
Bitchy High Ponytail Jiang Cheng
a. I am a sucker for long hair (even if technically his og design is super long like everyone else, its just tied up tightly. tho points for it dramatically coming undone in the donghua)
b. This man already swishes around dramatically enough with his whip and robes, imagine the added affect of a long ass ponytail.
c. This gives him a visual parallel to Jin Ling's design which.... adorable. Copying his jiujiu.
Wears his Hair Exactly Like His Father Did Jiang Cheng
a. Narratively fitting. Jiang Cheng trying to fit in to his role of sect leader before he was able to fully grow up into his own person. Emulating his father even in style, cause he never felt like he truly earned his approval as the heir to Yunmeng Jiang or as a leader which leads us to
b. 🚨! Daddy Issues Alarm 🚨! Its just super funny to me. Im sorry, I don't make the rules
c. I just think it looks good. Ponytail is my favorite but sect leader chic half-updo for formal occasions? Perfect look.
For reference this is it
One of my favorite moments in Wei Ying and Lan Zhan's relationship is when Wei Ying actually makes him laugh just by being his goofy self (in the middle of a hostage situation) for the first time. It both shows the evolution of theirs relationship (teenage Lan Wangji would never) and just is so freaking sweet ? Because as far as we know, he is the only one in the whole world who can make him laugh.
Oh he is a bastard and i love him dearly. He has lost so much and he is so so sad and so so angry about it but he keeps moving on!!! he keeps going!!! and he raised his baby nephew - his only remaining family member when everyone else he'd ever loved died within like. 3 years - all by himself while rebuilding his sect alone with no helpfrom any other sects. Hes pissy and angry and shorttempered but he cares so much and he didn't deserve any of it. I love him so much.
