Jiang Yanli's love for Wei Wuxian
It wasn’t Jiang Yanli’s job nor duty to protect Wei Wuxian from her mother, but her father's. Jiang Fengmian should be the one being held accountable on not doing enough for Wei Wuxian. Jiang Fengmian was a grown-up trained man, a cultivator, he was a sect leader and had power. Jiang Fengmian also was the one who brought Wei Wuxian in, he was the one who should’ve stood up for Wei Wuxian whenever his wife tried to abuse him physically or emotionally. He was the one who didn’t do enough, and the one whose duty was to protect his supposedly ward.
Jiang Yanli, on the other hand, was a physically weak girl who was always being berated and downplayed by her own mother, and she was only around three years older than Wei Wuxian. She was a kid too. It was definitely not her duty to protect him or stand up for him.
But she did.
She did try to protect him as much as she could till the end. She tried her best even when she didn’t have to because she wanted to, and she loved him as a little brother. She was the one who made him feel loved in his childhood, that’s why he loves her so much.
Also, I really think she protected him successfully. I don’t know why people expect her to be some kind of heroine or superwoman or want her to be one, but she doesn’t need to be that. Just loving him and demonstrating this love is enough. She just needs to be herself to make him happy, and making someone happy is a way on itself of protecting someone. She's more than enough.
Jiang Yanli didn’t fail, she gave Wei Wuxian all she could, and even died for him. It was her blood brother who failed. It was the mob who failed.
She loved him and made him happy, shouldn't that be enough?

while reading the books, i remember wei wuxian’s relationship with jin ling hitting me especially hard. i was crying when the whole stabbing thing happened. but i truly adore what becomes of them and do you know why? because jin ling does something the others could never, something miraculous really––he actually unlearns the prejudice he’s been taught to hold against wei wuxian. he meets wwx, full of disdain, slowly learning about who wwx really is and it has nothing to do with wwx’s outward appearance. and when the truth is revealed, the internal warring for jin ling is plainly portrayed and even if he does give in to a hate intermingled with grief that he has internalised towards this one entity (wei wuxian was never a person in his mind, just the ‘killer’ of his parents, a phantom, before the events of the book happened), you can tell his heart has already turned, that it will keep turning and that’s what happens. you have jin ling, an orphaned child, who hated someone whom his mother loved dearly, because that man caused his parents’ death but it is such a commendable thing that wei wuxian was able to create a space in jin ling’s heart and jin ling was able to accept it. it’s the way both jin ling & jiang cheng blame the death of their parents on wwx but only the former was able to see wei wuxian clearly and actually forge a bond of love with him.
it’s the fact that if ANYONE in this story can actually rightfully hold a grudge against wei wuxian, it’s jin ling, but instead this teenager decides that wei wuxian is much too good and that having him as an uncle is lovely, after all.
#am i waxing poetic about about a nephew and an uncle?? yes yes i am#wwx was wrong; jin ling did inherit traits from jiang yanli including her capacity for love#it’s the way if wwx gives a fuck about gaining anyone’s forgiveness its jin ling’s and that’s what he gets because that’s what he deserves#wei wuxian’s fierce protectiveness of jin ling is beautiful and heartwrenching#it’s the way jin ling actually FLOURISHED when he was spending time with wei wuxian#I CANNOT hejqywhjdjddbakeo#jin ling#wei wuxian#mdzs meta#mdzs#mxtx mdzs#canon jiang cheng

jiang yanli defended wei wuxian to anyone who dared to talk shit about him.
wei wuxian would rather say he died of natural causes than let wen ning think jiang cheng killed him.
jiang cheng was ready to make every excuse to the cultivation world for remaining associated with wei wuxian but wei wuxian wasn't going to let him be disgraced on his behalf.
jiang yanli traveled to the burial mounds herself just to give wei wuxian soup and show him her wedding dress.
jiang cheng kept chenqing in perfect condition.
jiang cheng hunted down every cultivator that could possibly be wei wuxian reincarnated but when wei wuxian got reincarnated he just let him go.
jiang yanli loved and protected both jiang cheng and wei wuxian in their broken family, making sure they stood up for each other instead of standing against each other.
jiang cheng would rather sacrifice his dogs and his golden than have to live without wei wuxian.
wei wuxian feels like he owes jiang cheng and jiang yanli his life, but they never wanted his life, they just wanted him.

Wei Wuxian was right, I too would punch a cultivator if they disrespected Jiang Yanli <3
#mdzs#mxtx#jiang yanli#myart#still messing around with her design but I absolutely loved the version of her with bangs so it was a must have in my design#my headcanon is that she uses ribbons to tie up her long sleeves when cooking

Horrible thing to say but I think there's a real chance Jiang Yanli was both of her parents' least favorite child and knew it and just kinda. Had to go on with her life knowing that.
#mdzs#jiang yanli#yunmeng siblings#madam yu's favorite kid is jc. she doesn't. um. SHOW it in a very affirming way but he's clearly the one she's emotionally most invested in#jfm's favorite kid is wwx. is he even one of his kids? doesn't matter. he's the favorite#(madam yu does NOT see wwx as her child so he doesn't factor into the calculation for her.)#i think jfm's neglect of jc is talked about. mostly because the both jc and wwx are clearly aware of it and so it's mentioned in novel#but um... DO we see either of yanli's parents give much a shit about her? ever?#jfm doesn't even ask if she WANTS her engagement dissolved before doing so#also the reason stated by other characters for jfm not liking jc is that he's madam yu's child. you know who is ALSO madam yu's child?#i think jfm may find jc.. harder to get along with. but i also think whatever discomfort from his marriage he projects onto his kids#it also extends to yanli. it's just that he's not constantly REMINDED of yanli like he is jc#(because madam yu keeps yelling about it)#and so he just... doesn't think about her much at all#madam yu meanwhile treats yanli with this air of disappointment. she seems to resent that she's 'weak' and gentle and quiet#and that she cares so little about status so as to treat wwx like her little brother#i think yanli is just fundamenally so clearly... not the child either of her parents wanted. and it shows.#i'm slightly peeved fandom doesn't talk about this as much as they talk about the effects the jiang parents had on the two boys.#but to be fair to fandom the book doesn't either#which is probaly just danmei-typical misogyny. but to give a slightly more watsonian reason#i think the yunmeng bros are genuinely unaware of this. yanli is PERFECT how could her parents not love her?#(of course they notice something like zixuan's initial dislike of her but that's blatant.)#(vs the attitude of the jiang parents towards their daughter which seems to be mostly... disinterest and disappointment)

No, you don't understand how much I love Jin Ling. 15 years of living with 2 uncles, both of whom have manipulated him in their own ways, and he still grew up to be his mother's son. Willing to fight for what he cared about even if it meant summoning the ire of his uncle because despite whatever he's told, he's still willing to change his perspectives and see beyond what others think.

Summary:
She tried to shake away any sad thought, this was supposed to be a merry reunion, after all. A-Xian had always been someone very especial to her. A solace of gentleness and kindness within a house so filled of grudges and hatred. She knew it was the same to him. Blood didn’t tie them, but they were undoubtedly family.
Jiang Yanli pays a visit to her A-Xian to catch up with him.
As I love Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli's bond so much, I suddenly felt inspired to write something about them and felt the need to share it.

You made her cry, time to die.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jiang yanli#jin zixuan#wei wuxian#This scene actually takes place many months before the previous scene.#Hence the outfits looking different!#Consider this a flashback within a flashback!#Speaking of outfits - no one noticed/commented on it so I'll give my little continuity nod away:#JZX's bandages on his wrist are from the *last* time he insulted Jiang Yanli.#I considered having WWX maul him like a chew toy again but I think this punchline hits funnier. A kickline. if you will.#And speaking of other outfit nods: This is a meta nod towards JYL's first appearance in this series.#Where I accidently made the flower on her dress look like a penis. Hoping no one would notice.#Then months later...just when I thought I was safe...someone pointed it out and I *wailed*. I AM SO SORRY SHIJIE...#I really to love this scene a lot. We have JYL just trying her best + JZX being a dickhead + WWX being full of rage. Mwah. Delicious.#I especially love how the audio drama comments that Jiang Cheng is on his way over. You *know* he's about to start swinging too.

Yu Ziyuan & Jiang Yanli
mothers and daughters existing as wretched mirrors of each other: i am all you could have been and you are all i might be. (x)
#yu ziyuan#jiang yanli#feeling very frustrated and don't like this one but I have a sort of a point#jyl breaks the circle and marries a man she loves who loves her back and they have a perfect child. and yet she#can't escape her mothers fate and she dies. running into a battlefield. for a man who has brought her pain. leaving behind her child#I have a lot of feelings (and headcanons) about them#*mgifs#parentchild#cw blood#jiangfamily

Sometimes I think about how Jin Ling goes by that instead of Jin Rulan and I just vividly picture his young mistress persona going like "yeah my not uncle was an unaware pining cut sleeve and my mom kind of just enabled it so... juijui and I just try to pretend it didn't happen -- it's cringe af" and I die a little in both grief and hilarity
#mdzs#mxtx#wangxian#mo dao zu shi#the untamed#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jin ling#jin rulan#jiang cheng#no because they silently came to that agreement for over a decade and then wex came back an JL had to look at his pining ass all the time#then after they are together he's like i am literally a teenager with the nominal marker of your infatuation yet you are JUST NOW A COUPLE?#and jiang cheng is just fuming shaking his fist at wangxian at a distance and like#listen his nephews name is basically wangxian ya feel me#its just so fucking good#and yet i sob because jiang yanli#and jin zixuan I GUESS but the way she just rolled with it ugh i die#picturing jl and lsz someday going yeah these bitches gay and dramatic we love our gays#and then i cry again#the mdzs experience#ok did not expect to make myself emotional in the tags don't perceive me
