#sorry that jc didn't have access to open communication methods after responsibly going to therapy

[heavymetalchemist]

I think a lot of people who don’t like Jiang Cheng forget about how Wei Wuxian actively and deliberately lied to him about his actions, repeatedly, and feel that somehow Jiang Cheng was supposed to be more “understanding” or put more blind faith and trust in his brother, even though he was being actively lied to. And even so! He kept trying to help him behind the scenes (wedding clothes? courtesy name for nephew? invited to 1 month party?).

I think people want him to be like Lan Xichen, with his complete unwavering trust in his brother/sworn brothers. “I’m sure he had his reasons!”

But I mean, we all saw how that worked out for Lan Xichen, didn’t we?

#jiang cheng #lan xichen #I'm just tired of this oh jc was so unfair #was he? was he really? #he kept trying to reach out to wwx in so many ways #and yes his love language is salt #and yes he's rough with his words #but he even tried to have a Real Feelings Talk at that banquet in qinghe #and wwx just goes meh you tell me to do something it makes me just not wanna do it #sorry that jc didn't have access to open communication methods after responsibly going to therapy #sorry he didn't have a bunch of self-help books to help him sort through his trauma so he could support his brother more #you know the one constantly pushing away said support and also refusing to communicate openly #interesting to think about how lxc would have handled it if lwj started pulling that shit tho
