there are so many people who keep @-ing me lately who are obsessed with the idea of WWX being this underprivileged victim who suffered unfairly at every turn…

no, he wasn't a "scholarship kid" in contrast to JC being a trust fund kid, his family paid for him to go to college exactly the same as his brother, where he had the confidence to behave with absolutely no regard for consequences; before the war he carried a platinum credit card with JFM's name on it and he had job security from like age 10 as JC's future head of R&D

no, he was never treated as a servant, he was the HEAD DISCIPLE of a top 5 sect and afforded much of the privilege and respect that came with that. after the war he was JC's right hand, being second in the sect only to the sect leader. even in the burial mounds he never did a single chore and in fact got lightly scolded for creating more chores

he wasn't hated by the cultivation world because he was an uppity servant trying to climb beyond his class and making the gentry look bad through his own integrity and righteousness, he was hated because he was extremely powerful and super scary and violated a ton of social taboos and behaved erratically in public and seemed beholden to nobody

like girl… you're thinking of Meng Yao!

#and not to clarify the obvious but NONE of this is to say that wwx hasn't suffered. he was in an extremely vulnerable position as a child.#the jiang family dynamic was very damaging and he was unfairly singled out. he was OBVIOUSLY mistreated after the war in many ways.#SO I AM JUST SAYING THERE IS NO NEED TO INVENT MORE WAYS IN WHICH FOR HIM TO SUFFER #and he was as much 'jiang cheng's servant' as jiang cheng was his father's servant. just because there is hierarchy between them –#and just because that hierarchical gap did cause many emotional problems – doesn't mean it takes the form of a master/servant dynamic!#SORRY THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO @ ME WITH BAD TAKES FORCING ME TO PERPETUATE THE CYCLE OF TAKES #shut up phee #mdzs
