JC dog and WWX cat…

WWX playing with the dead…very smug as only the best cats can match…only deigning to mess with what interests him and nothing else…WWX who’s arrogant genius is only matched by silly dumbassery…

JC loyal and dedicated…JC abandoned dog…JC as that one guy’s dog who kept coming to the same station over and over for decades…JC who is treated like a rabid animal…

Oh god you aren’t wrong. JC dog; WWX cat IS REAL.

you get it

Today I'm thinking of that fic where a failure to communicate and modern AU WWX respecting JC's boundaries - his forever person! - makes JC bang WWX's dad in retaliation and no-one's happy about it

thinking of what might happen afterwards

If you want to compare the Golden Core transfer to irl medicine, don't call it non-consensual. Jiang Cheng was in no mental state to make decisions about his own health, therefore even in irl his next of kin (Wei Wuxian) would have had to make said decision for him. Sure, Wei Wuxian should have told him after, but considering his own mental state? Unlikely.

#louder for the people in the back! it wasn't consensual in multiple levels #jiang cheng #wei wuxian

how do I reach you?

[Image ID: two digital drawings of a pair of hands reaching for each other against a dark background. In one, blood trails off the fingertips of the top hand into a golden core. The veins of the lower hand glow the same gold. In the second, the places have been switched; purple lightning sparks off a black ring on the middle finger of the hand reaching down, and darkness swirls around the hand stretching up from the bottom /end ID]

very loosely inspired by these shots from the web series and donghua + this old piece of mine:

tbh catelyn starks reaction to jon is totally reasonable in universe. stop making her out to be nothing more than this “evil step-mother, bitch” of a character when there’s so much more nuance to the situation than that narrative provides.

Thinking about why “redemption” plots for JGY don’t work for me, I feel like it boils down to this: redemption implies that one needs to 1) understand what they did wrong 2) atone for it through suffering and/or selfless actions

But JGY has already done both of those things in canon. He both understands very well and dislikes most of the things he had to do, and as soon as he gained a measure of power he used it pointedly to help others (actually, even before he had power he was saving sect leaders and winning wars)!

You want him to redeem himself through suffering? He’s already suffered more than just about anyone else in the book! You want him to redeem himself through public service? He’s been doing that for well over a decade!

In short, redemption arcs don’t work for me because I read JGY as someone who, as long as his life is not threatened (and sometimes even then) already chooses to do good. So I don’t think he needs to learn or discover in himself the will to do good (through a redemption arc) - he only needs the chance and relative safety that allows him to act on it.

The interesting thing about Jiang Cheng is that he refuses to be his mother's golden child to Wei Wuxian's scapegoat; he actively chooses Wei Wuxian again and again. He defends Wei Wuxian from her until she dies. It's unusual.

This doesn't mean that Wei Wuxian's experience was any less fraught--being hated by a caretaker is awful even if everyone else loves you. But it was an interesting choice by MXTX.

"If Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng weren't siblings they wouldn't be friends" as if this wasn't true about 90% of sibling relationships

Also this is just blatantly untrue wwx would have the most fun poking fun and teasing jc to get a reaction from him, just like he did with lwj, and jc would admire wwx's abilities and want to work with him without having any jealousy or anxiety because if they weren't siblings his mother would never try to pit them against each other in the first place and they could have just grown up as friends without the pressures of their guardians

I love you "boring" female characters. I love you ingenues. I love you female characters who aren't "modern" enough. I love you female characters who aren't "badass" enough. iI love you female characters who aren't "empowering" enough. I love you quiet female characters. I love you unappreciated female characters. I love you polite female characters. I love you female characters who "can't appeal to modern audiences." I love you frightened female characters. I love you female characters labeled as not complex just for being nice. I love you female characters who get criticism just for not being their tomboy or femme fatale counterpart. I love you silk hiding steel trope.

booktok women are like "fictional men set the standard too high" and the fictional men in question are domestic abusers
