jc, biggest regret in life?

“I saw this really cool rock last week and I didn’t pick it up. I thought about it, but I think Spyke yelled for me or something and I didn’t. I don’t think I could find it again, either. I don’t remember where we were in the park…”

Me: Existence is meaningless suffering.

*Sees a stray cat and it's friendly and lets me pet it*

Me: Life is worth living.

the way lan wangji and jiang cheng process their respective losses and grief (sorrow vs anger) in those thirteen years shows such a noticeable juxtaposition and it clarifies their character and moral fibre for me in a significant manner. at no point does lan wangji inflict undue violence on others to soothe his own emotions. he brands himself in remembrance of wei wuxian, meanwhile, torturing perceived demonic cultivators is a routine activity for jiang cheng. lan wangji fights the cultivation system (that led to the death of wei wuxian, who’s death i consider him mourning here) by not being a proponent of their exploitation. instead, he continues to help those in need and his reputation only gains more badges of honour over time, while jiang cheng neglects the problems taking place in the territory his clan presides over and earns a reputation too, this one the complete reverse of lan wangji. he “fights” the “cause” of his tragedies—wei wuxian—by targetting others and allowing harmful rumors to remain persistent regarding wwx. on the other hand, lan wangji inculcates healthy skepticism regarding the cultivation world’s perception of wei wuxian in the juniors under his guidance. lan wangji honours wei wuxian’s legacy by paying it forward, by living by the ideals they shared, by not letting wei wuxian’s death be a reason for more tragedy. but jiang cheng dishonours jiang yanli’s death by stewing in his rage and grief, by insulting her sacrifice, by weaponizing his losses to justify his violent methods of dealing with unprocessed emotions. lan wangji tries his best to move on while respecting what wei wuxian embodied, but jiang cheng sinks his claws into the past and stays put and stays stagnant and starts to rot.

JC do you have a favorite movie?

"Well the Sonic movie was really good, and the sequel was, too. I like action movies! I also really liked this mystery kind of movie I watched last week with Celnes; I don't remember the name."

"I don't think I could pick a favorite."

Every movie JC watches is his favorite.

So we're none of yall gonna say anything about the new spiderverse being a part 1? Out of all the spoilers that slipped through the cracks, that was not one of them for me, and the whole time I was pissed at the pacing and the important plot points being seemingly dropped. I was so upset a solid 1/2 to 3/4 of the movie and then it drops a "to be continued" and it clicked in my brain that there was not going to be any complete resolution. Now I have to see it again in order to view the whole plot structure from a totally different angle to actually enjoy it.

reread a lot of mdzs while going through the book for quotes recently, and wow jiang cheng really does not show his love through his words at all. somehow everything he says is acerbic, cruel, or both.

but then you look at jiang cheng's actions instead, and it turns out this guy's actually busting his ass really hard for his loved ones? wei wuxian gets beaten by gusu lan, and jiang cheng carries him back. wei wuxian and lan wangji get trapped in the murder turtle cave, and jiang cheng runs for seven days without rest to rescue them. jiang cheng and jiang yanli secretly visit wei wuxian in yiling. helicopter-parent jiang cheng goes charging up dafan mountain the moment jin ling sends a distress signal flare. jiang cheng goes running after jin ling whenever he gets into trouble. when jin ling cries, he cries to jiang cheng. and - of course - jiang cheng only got his core melted in the first place because he led the wen patrol away to save wei wuxian.

what's interesting is that, whenever jiang cheng is saying or doing something cruel, the narration always adds a few extra sentences describing how cruel jiang cheng is being. an aside about sect leader jiang's infamous ruthlessness, wei wuxian's snarky commentary about how jiang cheng can never let a grievance go, or just a description of the vicious sneer twisting jiang cheng's face - the narration never just lets jiang cheng's actions or words stand on their own.

however, whenever jiang cheng does something kind, the narration does not comment on it at all. it merely describes what jiang cheng did before moving on immediately. almost as if we aren't meant to take note at all.

"Wei Ying should have told Jiang Cheng about the golden core exchange before he did it"

When?

Was he supposed to tell Jiang Cheng after his volatile reaction to Wen Ning? While he was catatonic and immovable while they were in enemy territory? When he wasn't eating or drinking and was passively suicidal?

More importantly, why would he? Why risk Jiang Cheng saying no? The GC exchange wasn't just about Jiang Cheng. It's about the Jiang Clan. To both of their knowledge, there was no way for Jiang Cheng to revive his clan without one. Jiang Cheng isn't being overdramatic when he basically says it's the end of his clan. Wei Ying (in his head at least) had a duty. A duty that JF and YZ left him with when they died. An obligation to the Jiang Clan as a servant, which he ultimately is. If you really want to talk about Asian and Chinese culture specifically, duty and honor trumps EVERYTHING. Wei Yings Sacrifice wasn't just about a brotherly love. It was about responsibility. It was expected. Especially since, as the last heir to the Jiang Clan, JC had a target on his back. With no core, he was helpless, and he would have hated the idea of being protected by Wei Ying. Culturally speaking, Wei Ying made the right choice.

Wei Ying didn't hold back the info about the GCE because he was uncoomunicative. Its because he knew it would have done nothing but cause conflict. It would have done nothing but make Jiang Cheng angry with him or worse, hate himself. If you had sacrificed something to help someone you love, to keep them alive and healthy, would you have told them about it knowing it would tear them apart to know?
