if i'm recalling correctly, it was actually the jiang cheng stans who came up with the jiang cheng torture dungeon. the jiang cheng antis wrote paragraphs upon paragraphs about jiang cheng's torture....and the stans took that and appended "dungeon" to the end

Another year, another Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day!!!! If you are a writer of fanfic, please know just how appreciated you are!! Fandom would be such a different space without your creativity and labors of love. 💜

Holidays are all about making traditions, and the bookbinding friends with @renegadeguild once again came together to bind copies of fics for their authors as a show of our appreciation. This year I had the absolute joy of binding Emergency Help Wanted by the wonderful @piyo-13 and even got to collaborate with her on some of the design elements! It's a Modern AU Jiang Cheng/Lan Xichen fic that starts with a "help wanted" ad.

EMERGENCY HELP WANTED

I lied when I got my job. I told them I had a kid so I could leave early from work to pick him up from daycare, take him to doctor's appointments, and occasionally miss a day when he's sick. Long story short, I'm in too deep. I didn't think it through. Looking to rent a kid for bring your child to work day. Must be a boy ages four to six, longish dark hair, likes soccer. Must also be artistic as the macaroni noodle paintings I made seem a little advanced for his age. Also, I will pay extra for someone willing to play the role of husband when dropping him off. He's a prosecuting attorney who often brings his work home. Message me for further details. Serious inquiries only.

Ok. So. I may have gone a little feral with this one. Online "help wanted" ad spiraled into loading wheel scene dividers, spiraled into fake Google search result headers, spiraled into FULLY committing to those authentic looking text messages. In full color. (There are so many. I typeset in MS Word. It was SO worth it, but god what a struggle at some points.) And don't forget the "recent searches" title page! Or the computer cutout on the cover! (It's bluescreening, just like Lan Xichen through this entire fic!) Also that cover/title page image that I just kept adding details to. (It's supposed to be Lan Xichen's desk, so it simply didn't feel right until it had sticky notes on the computer, #1 dad on the mug, scissors and measuring tape, scribbles on the sticky notes) Did I have a ton of fun designing this one? Perhaps. Couldn't say. Maybe just a tad. (This is a lie I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!)

Historically, I've waited until I finish at least the typeset before reaching out to the author, but not so with this one! I got the idea for the fake google search results from Piyo's authors notes, teasing the contents of the next chapter. But! Those didn't start until about chapter 4! So I reached out and asked if we could collaborate and I'm forever glad I did! Not only does this have teasers for each chapter, I also got to bounce design ideas off of her, including what shade of blue and purple for the text messages. Because my friends, that is a serious matter and changed SEVERAL times throughout the process.

Also shoutout to all my Renegade friends who gave input and encouragement over the past year while I worked on this (what endpages to use? how to make this shade of green perfectly Nie Huaisang? how do we feel about this text message design? or how about this one?) - I love you all dearly and appreciate you so much for putting up with my nonsense at all times.

i will always love and appreciate the irony and parallel of how in the first siege, the cultivators mass-attacked the burial mounds and destroyed everything, using wei wuxian’s cave to hide the aftermath of their brutality and in the second siege, it is exactly that cave which shelters the cultivators and infact, saves them from the fate they had once dished upon the wens without thought or mercy. it is how the place they had collectively condemned and looked down upon is precisely the place that keeps them alive when their circumstances finally turn on them. it’s the way that it is the home that had once occupied wei wuxian–the enemy of the cultivation world–that becomes their salvation in the end.

also, i don’t completely remember this but the array that protects them was missing bits that lan qiren helps remake and the thought that the reason the array was broken in the first place was because it was barged into by the cultivators during the first siege, whilst the remaining wens were inside it, a last ditch effort to save themselves, breaks my fucking heart. because the cultivators of the second siege were saved by the very tools that wei wuxian CREATED to help and protect and secure the wen remnants, the very people that these cultivators and their predecessors killed in cold blood.

Jiang Cheng has many flaws but that's what makes him a wonderful character. I was talking to my husband about the movie we just watched and praising the acting and said "You know, there are characters in it that really made me angry or I disliked them and their choices but that's why they are good characters"

I love Jiang Cheng but he's a messy bitch and that's what makes him so great.

He's tortured by love.

He loves his father who doesn't love him back in the way he needs

He loves his mother even though her love burns and stabs

He loves his sister to the point of deifying her but her love is kindness and gentle

He loves his sect and his people to the point he picks up a banner in defiance by himself and raises it back into existence in a matter of months

He loves his nephew. He would kill for him, die for him, protect him to his last breath. But most importantly he would live for him

Which is necessary because he loves Wei Wuxian to the point that his whole world revolves around him. He loves him and is loved by him even though his love both burns and soothes. He loves him so much that its only right that Wei Wuxian's golden core is inside him. Because everything he is, revolves around his brother. The knowledge that it's there is both a constant source of pain and comfort. Because while it's there Wei Wuxian can never truly leave him, but because of that, ultimately, he lost him.

Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian are a tragedy

They loved each other so deeply they destroyed each other.

And worse, they now have to both live past that destruction and continue to live.

And even though they both have found their own happiness, their own reasons to live...the absence of the other will never truly heal.

Especially not for Jiang Cheng who has yet to tell his hidden secrets.

So he hides his love as he always has. With shouting and sarcasm and empty threats of violence that those who know and love him can see right through.

That's why Jiang Cheng is my favourite MDZS character

Made MDZS memes,
