When people tell me Jiang Cheng turned out abusive like Madam Yu, I laugh.

Because Jiang Cheng was terrified of her.

If you think Jin Ling is not yelling at Jiang Cheng about three times a week over stupid stuff, then you are wrong.

If you think Jiang Cheng would have been able to stay strong through Jin Ling on his knees, begging and crying for Jiang Cheng to stop someone's punishment, then you are wrong.

And if you think Jiang Cheng felt even a little bit as comfortable crying in front of Madam Yu as Jin Ling feels comfortable crying in front of Jiang Cheng-

You. Are. Wrong.

#coming out of my cave for jc #i very much believe that he as the younger sibling saw and recognized the ways in which his parents did not care for them #and made it his modus operandi to never allow his family members (the family members he was allowed at least) to feel that way #and ofc that extends to his sect alright we see how it prospers after being burnt to the ground and then socially/politically isolated

#ugh he’s such a GOOD KID #love him love sizhui

was lamenting the lack of those cheesy heart-filled reaction memes that feature Ouyang Zizhen on twitter today, so it's only fair that you guys get this Very Important Content too, because I went out to solve that truly grave problem immediately:

#ouyang zizhen supremacy #my boy is so full of love you know he would use these kind of memes on the regular #has a folder full of em #ouyang zizhen

out after curfew!!

#LOOK AT THEM!!!!!!!! #they deserve unburdened happiness #ouyang zizhen #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #jin ling

Thinking about little baby toddler Jingyi who never quite manages to stop running once he figures out how to stand and manages to full on tackle Lan Xichen into the ground atleast three separate times and each time Lan Xichen laughs, almost a little too free (because honestly after the war? Such liveliness is a blessing he can’t curb) as he stands himself and the little gremlin up. He grins, just barely skirting that ‘don’t be too joyful’ rule, and reminds Jingyi not to run for his own safety… before sending him after Sizhui and Lan Wangji who are walking past. When Jingyi manages to tackle them both down, Lan Xichen turns away to hide his smile but it still lingers as he looks at the others

Every Lan disciple in the vicinity suddenly forgets about the no staring rule and wonders if they can convince Jingyi to knock him down again to make him laugh again.

Ouyang Zizhen appreciation!!

Some of my favorite things about this boy that you may have forgotten because he deserves all of the love and affection ever:

apologies in advance for spoilers

-He’s nicknamed “romantic young master” and “little seed of sentiment” because he’s considered the most sentimental out of his friends

-After learning A-Qing’s story in Yi City, he cries for her and is the one to suggest that they burn the paper money for her

-He refers to Lan Sizhui as “Sizhui-Xiong” and the rest of the Juniors call him by  his first name. (This could also be implying he’s younger than Lan Sizhui, but could also be implying Lan Sizhui is the head disciple of his sect)

-He’s the first person to voluntarily follow Lan Sizhui out of the Demon Slaughtering Cave when they get kidnapped

-He relentlessly defends Wei Wuxian to his father and holds a great deal of respect for him

-Seriously, this boy speaks sarcasm as a second language

-He convinces his father to stop fighting the corpses at Burial Mounds

-He’s stubborn! He’s the first to try and come up with a logical reason why the cultivators couldn’t use their spiritual powers at the Burial Mounds and refused to back down when his father disproved his theory

-When everyone’s on the boats back to Lotus Pier after the second siege, Ouyang Zizhen mouths off to Sect Leader Yao in defense of Wei Wuxian

-This is also when Jiang Cheng tells Sect Leader Ouyang that his son has “silver tongue”

-After his father tells him to get off the boat that has Wei Wuxian and come join him, Zizhen says “Dad, Weren’t you the one who told me to get on this boat so I didn’t annoy you guys?”

-It’s implied that he still goes on night hunts with the other boys post-canon

He’s a sweet boy with sharp attitude and undeniably best friends with Sizhui, Jingyi, and Jin Ling!!

#EXCUSE ME WHILE I SOB #jin ling #jin guangyao

I just want to say thank you to all the Chinese speakers and people of Chinese heritage in this fandom, who spend so much time and effort translating or explaining things for those of us who aren’t Chinese and/or don’t speak Chinese. 

It enriches my experience of these shows so much, as well as giving me a much deeper appreciation for the beauty of Chinese speech and writing. 

I know it’s a lot of work, and I really, really appreciate everything you do. 

#thank you so so much

[the-juniors]

I saw this photo and my brain was like “POV: you’re Jin Ling and you’re caught sneaking back in after sneaking out”

more happy AU

#i love this an inordinate amount #jin ling #jiang yanli #jin zixuan

[the-juniors]

#i LOVE scooby gang juniors #bc they so would

[the-juniors]

i made a quiz that tells u which junior u are

#jin rulan #?????? #i did NOT expect that

[the-juniors]

the untamed characters and how much gender they have:

jiang yanli: 1 (an average amount of gender. she never takes more than she is offered)

jin zixuan: also 1 (he would be confused by the question. the important thing is that he matches his wife)

jiang cheng: like 1.6 (but he hasn’t noticed the .6 and he won’t believe you if you tell him)

wen ning: -1 (no thank you he is not interested)

wen qing: none of your business (who are you anyway)

xue yang: 2 (and they are both evil)

song lan: like .5, maybe .75 (he doesn’t think much about it. he’s got other concerns)

xiao xingchen: 0 (you don’t NEED gender on baoshan sanren’s mountain)

a-qing: 1 (and it’s mischief)

nie mingjue: 1 (a straightforward sort of man. he believes in doing a lot with limited resources)

lan xichen: ~1.4 (it fluctuates when he is not looking and he does close his eyes a lot)

wei wuxian: impossible to say (could be one. could be none. could be three. if you ask him he just laughs)

lan wangji: 2 (he will not elaborate further)

luo qingyang: 2.3 (she only had one back in the jin sect but she’s hit the gym since then)

jin ling: .8 (sometimes it looks like more but that’s just an optical illusion created by the refraction of light. neat!)

lan sizhui: 1.3 (he likes to keep a little extra around in case his friends need to borrow some)

ouyang zizhen: 2??? (he thinks probably two but he’s never actually counted)

lan jingyi: 1 (fuckboy (affectionate))

jin guangyao: 1 (he may have wanted another at some point but he couldn’t afford it)

nie huaisang: at LEAST 5, maybe more (he is collecting only the finest and rarest of gender. storing it away for safekeeping. you never know when you might need it for something)

#fuckin LOST IT at fuckboy (affectionate) bc why does it make sense #this is the ultimate breakdown thank u for ur service op

[the-juniors]

Me: Oh hey a free afternoon! Wow, this never happens. I could do taxes, or finish the book I’m reading, or - 

Also me: DRAW JIANG CHENG AND JIN LING

Me: …a wonderful subject, certainly! Or perhaps I could draw something a little different, considering how often I - 

Also me: JIANG CHENG AND JIN LING, BUT JIANG CHENG’S PROFILE IS FACING TO THE RIGHT

Me:

#my heart is a melted puddle on the ground #op uve killed me #jiang cheng #jin ling

[the-juniors]

jingyi made some points… | ep. 2

#jimgyi will roast someone to oblivion and not even notice what he’s doing until he looks around nd everyone is just 😧😧😧 #lan jingyi #jiang cheng

[the-juniors]

Sometimes this is de the only thing I want from post-canon content. Shenanigans in Lotus Pier. The juniors consider intervening. (mostly Sizhui) and Zewu-jun is on the money. Probably

Pardon the sketchiness of all of it, but this week was a bit hectic and the scene popped up in my head and got extended thanks to a friend chiming in and giving me more material.

This will probably end up being a short series 

#betting ring junior quartet #seeing the chaos being in popcorn nd laying out predictions #this is hilarious i love it
