while I enjoy an AU where sect cultivators stood by wwx in his defiance against the cultivation world or supported the wen remnants with him, they can't hit like canon does bc they always feel a little...hm. like if the author is super invested and insists THIS is what should have/would have happened its like they're missing the point of all the characters and their arcs?

#annoyingly confident posts like 'YOU CANT TELL ME JIANG CHENG DIDN'T ADOPT A-YUAN BC LOOK AT HIS ANGRY UNCLE ENERGY #sorry but he canonically doesn't give a shit abt that kid #like I don't know if I can see cql jc MURDERING him but uhm. that character isn't jc it is a projection of someone else #and jyl's timidity and lack of social power wasn't the only thing that kept her doing exactly what the rest of the sect leaders were doing #like...she's not a cruel or harsh person she simply doesn't focus on politics she focuses on domestic matters and her family #and she was very happy to get married into a sect who was at odds w her brother bc she was in love #when hearing the wens running and screaming she simply said they were being 'taken care of'she is very happy to sit back and let characters #in positions of power do what they will...like she did give wen ning soup shes not HEARTLESS. she's just #very focused on her family and home #which isn't unreasonable esp after she's lost so much!#but I don't see her tact extending to politics honestly. unlike say mm or myu she doesn't rly care for it #and she's timid! she's easily intimidated! and these are just...parts of her character that feel real #she's happy in her family bc she feels protected but outside of that her emotional and psychological safety is guarded #I mean....myu nonwithstanding #anyway. I like when authors see her for a timid homemaker who cares primary abt the domestic sphere #and still respects that and engages with it #not my usual preference for female characters but family is EVERYTHING to jyl. and without that focus it just doesn't feel as much like her #the aus rly are fun tho #NOT THAT those responsibilities on her were always light or that she didn't sacrifice anything bc of course she did - she was jc and wwx's #crutch for YEARS #and I realize I compared her response to the sects leaders'. I know she's not a leader!#but like...I also understand her priorities and how devastated she was when wwx left #and why that loss for her overshadows the high moral principles wwx is adhering to #she doesn't want innocent people hurt she simply wants her brother back etc.#family being everything to her also.means it gives her her strength and courage and resolve tho!!!#EP25 DEFENSE OF WWX AT DAFAN ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN THE SHOW >>>>>>#im on mobile but I made a typo I meant NOT guarded. you know #cql txp
