Soup and other love languages : 2 chapter

Lan Xichen knew it, but he couldn't translate that deep connection into a dish that could truly tell it. He couldn't bring out the strength of his mother's bond with him and Lan Wangji. Yet, those recipes contained a part of her that didn't want to die, a part of her that wanted to pass on as a legacy.

Link here little star!!!

HAVE FUN :D

[ID in plain and alt text: digital art page of jiang cheng, jiang yanli, and wei wuxian from mdzs. on the left is an almost full body drawing of adult jiang cheng, glaring fiercely at the camera with zidian whipped out, purple lightning flashing. on the bottom right is a bust of adult jiang yanli, looking peacefully off into the distance with water lilies drawn next to her. on the top right is a drawing of all 3 of them as children in a more simplified chibi style, jiang yanli in front exclaiming "they asked for no pickles!" as her 2 younger brothers stand behind her fighting back tears.

I feel like we don’t talk enough about Jiang Yanli being disabled. If I remember correctly it was basically a heart disease(?). And this resulting in a lower cultivation than her brothers.

We know she is fiercely protective of her brothers and just like them, she sacrifices herself for them without a second thought. Were WWX builds up this persona of the funny, carefree guy and JC the image of the fierce, no nonsense guy, she is hiding behind a gentleness and politeness. Of course all of them ARE these things they pretend to be but the build it up to the point, were they barely allow themselves to be seen as anything else.

And I think JYL might be kinda killing herself for not being able to help as much as if she wouldn’t be disabled. “She is the oldest after all. She should be a role model to her younger brothers in every way. She should be able to protect THEM. But instead THEY constantly have to protect HER “

In a way she reminds me of Beth March.They share the same ambition and passion for what they love, that their siblings do, but bc of their disabilities and to a degree their need for harmony, they cannot follow this ambition nearly as much as they would like. But in small moments it shines though. When we see Beths excitement for playing on the bigger piano. When we see Jiang Yanli protecting WWX in front of the Jins.

This is just kinda rambles, my own experience with disabilities and not thought out but I just wanted to encourage people to acknowledge JYLs disability AND her fierceness in fics and discussions!!

scratch all other discourse, the single most obnoxious MDZS opinion is that jiang yanli "didn't do enough" for wei wuxian. tell me why i'm seeing people in the goddamn subreddit criticizing yanli for not "protecting wei wuxian from yu ziyuan" when yanli was literally also a child?? under the power of the same guardian???

within the story, jiang yanli repeatedly puts the happiness of wei wuxian (and also jiang cheng) before her own happiness. she was their emotional caretaker in a way yu ziyuan and jiang fengmian never were, and even though it was unfair and wrong that a child was parentified in this way, she still loved her brothers until the very end. on a metafictional level, meanwhile, jiang yanli is already written to be less a person in her own right and moreso a high-impact fridgee (thanks to the post that coined this term); her main narrative purpose is not to exist in her own right but rather merely to add tragedy to a male character's story. therefore, on every level ranging from watsonian to doylist, jiang yanli has already dedicated basically everything she has towards her brothers.

and this is still not enough for you? you want to make yanli's existence about wei wuxian Even More - the level of disregard for her own personhood in canon wasn't enough for you? is yanli a person, or is she wei wuxian's shiny accessory?

is this why so many yanli lives AU fics have yanli completely and immediately forgive wei wuxian for husband-manslaughter? even though canon itself states that she could neither say that she had forgiven wei wuxian, nor the opposite?

the same reasoning applies to jiang cheng stans who argue that "yanli didn't love jiang cheng enough," too. jesus mcfucking christ.
