actually forget about the immaturity and the inability to control his anger and the tendancy to be manipulated. jc would fucking suck as a chief cultivator because he consistently and demonstrably does not care about people outside his circle and he actively encourages his sect members to abandon them when they're in danger. this is something I actually understand for his situation, but it's not really a quality I want in a leader of the entire cultivation world!

#obvs no character is perfect and there was a fucking war going on #but wwx wanted to help lwj who was a badly injured SECT HEIR and jc told him to forget it and just focus on himself #1. he's okay with letting people who he personally doesn't care about die #2. he can't conceive of broader political implications as soon as something that emotionally impacts him is involved #but sure....the guy who yelled at a refugee toddler is going to be a great leader and really stand up for the weak and vulnerable 🙄#and he blames wwx for his parents in the modern day arc as well. he simply cannot move on from it and his judgement is severely impaired #by his emotional connection to the events #not a person I would want in charge!#in the novel I know people were terrified of him and didn't ask for his help even when they needed it #and it's never shown in the drama but I can believe it #I don't think sis and bicao went to him specifically I think they just went where all the sect leaders were #again. understandable for someone who went through what he went through. he's an amazing character. but that doesn't mean he would do well #in that position. can you imagine him trying to put the souls of the fleeing wens to rest like wwx and lwj did. can you imagine him #speaking up against the majority in defense of a poor or underdefended part of the country #can you imagine him forming relationships with any of the people he's leading or ruling over who aren't in the jiang sect #tbf I don't think many people are qualified for this bc we also don't really know what it entails but there has GOT to be better choices #than him #cql txp
