#(I HATE JIN)

[blessyouhawkeye]

my favourite mdzs/cql character dynamic will always always be jiang cheng and lan wangji. born to be mortal enemies forced to be in laws is the funniest relationship of all time. that brief establishing shot in cql episode 2 of them sitting in a tea house at different tables, facing away from each other, not talking is like a sister to me. wei wuxian's death turned a mutual disdain into outright hatred and now sixteen years of boiling rage down the drain because wei wuxian had to get RESURRECTED like an IDIOT and now they have to MAKE NICE and try their utmost not to THROW THINGS at each other at FAMILY DINNERS. which they have now because LIFE SUCKS. such an unparalleled dynamic that i'll be thinking about until i die.

WEI WUXIAN & JIN RULAN in THE UNTAMED ── episode 40.

[blackberrylight1]

I've been reading this manga for 6 years now, and League of Villains has become something special to me. The only thing I'm thankful to Horikoshi for is them.

My favourite trope in MXTX's novels is finding one that one person is a criminal/traitor so we need to get rid of them but it turns out they're the only competent person in this whole fucking place so we desperatly scramble for what's left of them to menage our taxes.

Wait follow-up question, why is wwx a-xian while jc is a-cheng? Is this abt decorum or the boys' preferences

Jiang Cheng is Jiang Yanli's blood brother and recognized as such, so no need for her to call him Wanyin much less their family name to each other. Hence A-Cheng. It would be even weirder if she tried to call her own brother by anything else especially because she was known to love him as well. She has no decorum to worry about regarding own brother as family can easily use each other's birth names.

Where it becomes more socially intricate with Wei Wuxian: Despite Jiang Yanli vocally calling him "didi" lit. little brother and not "shidi", their society does not take this claim as seriously (or believe it for that matter) as she does. In their eyes she is an unmarried woman and he is an unmarried man. He was as also never adopted into the Jiang clan despite being a disciple of the clan, he has the family name of Wei and the station of a servant. It would unfortunately look very presumptuous and bold for her to call him a-Ying. It would give fodder for the rumor mill that they were romantically involved, as lovers would use birth names to denote being intimately close. For her using a-xian is to denote that they are as close as siblings, while respecting his turn of age and right to his generational name as a man of age amongst his peers that do and have targeted him in other innocuous ways for being the son of a servant. It's why her demand that Jin Zixun apologize to Wei Wuxian of the Yunmeng claim is so resounding. Jiang Yanli was saying Wei Wuxian was a part of her family, as well as his own individuality as Wei Wuxian had been insulted and called lesser. Patriarchal ties are almost sacred, while she calls him her brother she is not demanding he forsake his filial piety to his ancestral name.

Now, on a similar note, here is where it can be implicitly insulting when it comes to courtesy names with Jin Guangyao's and position: He does not share the same generational character as his familial peers of Zi (子). He is left with a prior generation's name denomination. He is outright being denied any immediate claims of succession as a clan heir and is insulted as being a servant and door greeter for them. He may have been named a Jin in name finally by Jin Guangshan, but there is nothing substantial to that claim as he is not being considered as a succeeding heir unless, literally, all his social betters are killed. Which he makes sure happens. He even does this with Mo Xuanyu, who was brought to Jinlintai after Jin Zixuan was killed. He was defamed and driven out conveniently as Jin Guangshan was killed and never was given a courtesy name or named a part of the Jin Clan formally. Jin Guangshan was readying to claim another heir from his illegitimate children. Jin Guangyao was still not recognized as his child by him, probably out of horrendous and cruel pettiness for Jin Guangyao's interruption at a Jin social event. And Jin Guangyao sure did have resentment about his station of being only a servant, and ridiculed for it, built up for decades.
