#on that note: the diametric contrast between the lan vs nie sect founders as monk vs butcher (extremely VERY opposed)

[presumenothing]

maybe the -jun titles were more common to the sunshot generation? since they would have been more actively involved in things/developing a reputation outside their own sects and the occasional conference, and the titles seem to be born from something of a consensus amongst common people + npc cultivators?

huh yeah that does sound plausible actually! especially with the way the lans are as a sect, they're like. idk the mountain retreat of the entire cultivation world so in the previous generation qingheng-jun might've been the only *customer service voice* external facing person as the sect leader and all

AND "NPC CULTIVATORS" ASDKFKDJSJS what's your idle animation as a cultivator. cursing out wei wuxian i guess. staffing the twin jades of lan fanclub. the possibilities are endless

#on that note: the diametric contrast between the lan vs nie sect founders as monk vs butcher (extremely VERY opposed) #and also the current contrast between xichen and huaisang as atypical of how their sects have generally acted as a rule #(wangji too obvs but to a lesser extent simply because he is not sect leader and likely won't ever be) #and further on that note i would think that the jin and jiang were also opposite in their origins? #i don't think the jin's origins were ever stated but the royalty imagery is...... yeah... definitely very there #while the jiangs being specifically from a rogue cultivator #i.e. the staple contrast of jianghu vs court etc etc #anyway. hand to heart i would join the twin jades fanclub xichen in particular deserves the stanning #asks #anonymous #things i am doing with my life instead of focusing on work this monday morning: exhibit A #mdzs
