[asha-mage]

MDZS AU where Jiang Cheng realizes that Lan Sizhui is the Wen orphan that Wei Wuxian took care off during the Burial Mounds arc, decides that's close enough to qualify him as Nephew, declares that no Nephew of His (much less a surrogate son of Wei Wuxian's) is going to be raised in the Cloud Recedes, and immediately launches into a custody battle with Lan Wangji.

But since neither Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji can acknowledge that Sizuhi has any connection to Wei Wuxian, both begin steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that he is a Cultivator of peerless potential and skill and he belongs in their sect thank you very much, and would clearly be very unhappy in the other's. This confuses the hell out of the already mystified Cultivation world, who had barely adjusted yet to gossiping about Sizhui being Wangji's illegitimate child by mysterious love affair.

(Eventually the common consensus in the rumor mills is that both JC and LW where in love with Sizhui's mother and both believe themselves to be Sizhui's real father.)

(LW couldn't care less what gossips say, but JC has to bite his tongue till it bleeds to avoid telling anyone the truth in a fit of anger.)

(It was Nie Huaisang who put that rumor out in the first place, partly to troll JC, partly because, in a way, it's a little true.)

mxtxnet's october event | day 31: wei wuxian

[thegirlinthecher]

[withthewindinherfootsteps]

something about how both wei wuxian and jin guangyao repeatedly say they ‘didn’t have a choice’ in their actions. in both cases, it’s not literal impossibility, instead determined by their mindsets and personal conduct…. but while for wei wuxian that means he can’t do something immoral, even if it means losing all his social power, for jin guangyao it means he can’t do anything to lose his social power, even if it means doing something immoral. the other option is still there, but it’s never one they’d pick.

something about how they’re trying to walk the same path but in opposite directions: wei wuxian willingly left the nice, broad road in favour of upholding morals and debts, while jin guangyao is trying to claw onto it and stay there by any means necessary. in both cases, being parted from it so easily is only possible because this nice, broad road — full of people whose social power is unconditional, given at birth, independent of their actions — was never truly theirs to begin with. but despite how it is possible to be forced off due to nothing, as we see with wang lingjiao, the positions of both these characters were ultimately due to actions they took.

(about how no matter the similarity of the paths, no matter the narrowness of the choices, the direction you take is still up to you.)

"Wen Ning hadn't gone over to help support Wei Wuxian in the first place, nor followed them into the cabin. Instead, he crouched on the deck outside. The boys had found this strange at first, wondering why he didn't go in. It was only now that they realized just how wise the Ghost General truly was."

Accidentally went on MDZS twt and saw a "wwx was SO affected by classism" (valid by itself) take and the subsequent "yzy and jc called him the son of a servant all the time!" (Former did, latter literally says "what kind of servant has their master peeling Lotus roots for them?" He is still classist but I think it's pretty clear wwx is Family to him) takes. For good measure, JGY's name was also thrown around a bit "I don't know how anyone can sympathize with him, classism or poverty or not..." well.

There was also an LQR picked on wwx because he was a servant explanation that got quite a few likes... And I was just... Blocking people left and right for my peace of mind. I was so glad for a second that I've built my own bubble here.

The Untamed - Episode 11 - Episode 15

The woman had creamy skin and was rather beautiful, though her delicate features displayed some fierceness. The corners of her lips lay between a frown and a smile - she was a natural at sneering, just like Jiang Cheng. Her flowing purple robes wrapped around her thin waist. Both her face and her right hand, which rested on the hilt of her sword, were as cold as jade stone. A ring embellished with amethyst was worn on the index finger of her right hand.

Jiang Cheng smiled as he saw her, "Mom!"

Madam Yu stared at his face. Suddenly she embraced him and kissed his hair a few times. With him in her arms, she murmured, "Good boy."

She hugged him so tight that it seemed as if she wanted turn Jiang Cheng into a baby and stuff him back into her stomach, so that nobody could hurt him, nobody could tear them apart. Jiang Cheng had never been hugged by his mother like this, much less kissed. His head was buried in her chest but his eyes were wide open, not knowing what to do.

jiang cheng was wrong to blame wei wuxian for jiang yanlis death and I'm wei wuxians number one fan so I'm also not saying that jiang cheng was right to consider/attempt murdering him but. as the baby brother to an older sister. I think about fratricide every time I remember that one time our older brother was mean to her after our mom died. like he's not right but I get it

In MDZS, after seeing Lan Wangji's scars, Wei Wuxian mentions that he had never been struck with a discipline whip before, but Jiang Cheng had. This is interesting to ke because, as far as I remember, it never gets mentioned again (granted I am still on volume 1 of my reread). What do you think he would have been struck with a discipline whip for?

Jiang Cheng's look of dread and horror when he realised shixiong's had a sword up his ass and it was not his.

WangXian x “As You Wish” by Faye Wong

If you are interested in xz’s version:

[mpreggificator]

I'm obsessed with the idea of Mo Xuanyu living but the story has not changed that much with him living.

Like, Mo Xuanyu does the soul sacrifice ritual and instead of his body being taken over by Wei Wuxian, it brings him back in his old body and Mo Xuanyu qi deviates on the spot instead. Instead of dying, he turns into a toddler and loses all of his memories.

Before Wei Wuxian can start his second life taking care of a toddler, Nie Huaisang comes in and yoinks Mo Xuanyu cuz can't have him throw a wrench in his plans. So while Wei Wuxian goes off to solve the mystery of the arm, fall in love with Lan Wangji, and live his second life the best way he can, Nie Huaisang is mostly at home taking care of a toddler and trying not to get too attached.

Bonus:

After the main plot, Jiang Cheng goes to the Unclean Realm to confront Nie Huaisang about the whole everything where he discovers that Mo Xuanyu is alive. He also discovers that Nie Huaisang is not that great at parenting and sort of shoves his way to show Huaisang the proper ways of taking care of a toddler. It helps that Mo Xuanyu is cute and small and reminds Jiang Cheng of Jin Ling when he was a toddler.

the other thing about Fatal Journey is that it is an almost perfect example of my the-untamed-as-a-dnd-game thing. they are literally exploring a dungeon. it's set up with a bunch of smaller fights and also various puzzle rooms. it leads them to an ultimate boss fight. splitting the party is a bad idea. they take a few scenes to pause and have an intense emotional conversation. like!!!!!
