jin guangyao’s tremendous capacity for both cruelty and compassion is core to his character. trying to insist that he is one to the exclusion of the other (and let’s be real: it is normally the former rather than the latter) does a disservice both to mxtx for writing him that way, and also to jin guangyao's role in the story.

[hulijingemperor2]

Yao: are you guys ready?

Jinling: yea Xiao shushu!

Rusong: yup. But a bit nervous.

Zixuan: aww you two would be fine.

Rusong: uncle Zish, who goes first?

Zixuan: the Jin sect leader, which is A-ling.

The Laoling Qin Sect leader is always the subordinate of the Jin Sect leader.

Rusong: aw cool.

I'm honoured to be Ling gege's subordinate.

Jinling: that will be fun!

Rusong: I know right

Yao: and more healthy too

Zixuan: yea, guangshan was a mess.

Qin Su: A-ling, A-song. Go ahead and do your fitting. Your outfits had just arrived.

Both: mn.

Yanli: they grow up so fast!

Qin Su: yup. And they became divas like their A-Dies.

Yanli: because they spoilt them.

Later on.....

Team d: *relaxing*

Yao: *writing up some details*

A-qing: team dimple. What should I wear for Rusong's inauguration?

Red?

Xue yang: are you a bride?

A-qing: no. Well not yet. *blushing*

Su she: wear coral or a shade of orange.

That's the Qin aesthetics.

A-qing: thanks xiandu!

Yao: yea he's right.

Mo xuanyu: you'll look so fab.

Xue yang: you really like to dress up, huh simp.

A-qing: are you jealous?!

Xue yang: I can dress up for Jiggy whenever I want.

A-qing, you better marry Song'er before he replace you.

A-qing: excuse me?!

Xue yang: girl, you have to stop being delulu. What if Songsong dumps you. Where would you go?!

Yao: Chengmei. My son isn't characterless.

Xue yang: I know, Jiggybun.

But A-qing needs to know how to pull herself up if Songsong dumps her.

Yao: *joking* then let her do what you'll do if I get rid of you.

Xue yang: Jiggylicious, you can't get rid of me. *hugs*

Yao: what a bummer.

Now if I leave you stranded in the forest.

Xue yang: then I'll be on your doorstep again, like a stray cat.

Yao: *sigh* I hope these hulijings protect their emperor.

Xue yang: *kisses* I know you'll miss me Jiggy.

Yao: *rolls eyes* I will.

Xue yang: ehehehehehehe, I knew it. *hugs* Jiggy, you smell nice.

A-qing: who's the simp now.

Sect leader ceremony ✨️.

Lanling 📍.

Jinling sits on the lanling Jin throne, while his uncles proudly looked on.

A-Yao: congratulations, A-ling *places the guan on his head* You'll be such an amazing sect leader.

Continue to be brilliant, and uphold the brilliance of the Jin sect.

Jinling: thank you Xiao shushu.

Yao: *kisses* shushu loves you.

Jiang cheng: I'm very happy for you, A-ling. You better take it seriously!

Jinling: yea I will, jiujiu!

Jiang cheng: Yao Huangdi.

I want to give the Jiang sect and Yu sect to A-ling some day. I'm asking you because I know you're Huangdi.

Yao; absolutely, Jiang Zongzhu. It's his birthright.

Zixuan: I'm proud of you, baby.

Yanli: you're amazing.

Jinling: *smiling*

Luo Yuan: *admiring him*

Sizhui: *clapping*

Jingyi: woooo! JINLING!!!

Zixuan: say your speech.

Yao: aww. He looks shy.

Jinling: ehem. My dear Jin sect members. I'll continue to promote brilliance of our sect.

All of shushu's implementations will still be in effect, as it helped many.

I will announce Luo Yuan as Jin Furen for now.

And Wen Yuan will be my prospected concubine.

Sizhui: you want me as your concubine?

Jinling: we're great friends, so I decided to do so.

According to Xiao shushu, it preserves bonds.

Sizhui: I accept, Jin Zongzhu.

Jinling: *flustered* not that I had a crush on you.

Why are you all looking at me? We have another inauguration to attend.

Let's move people. *claps twice*

Oh right. I want Jin Chan to be my personal assistant.

Zixuan: ew why. He bullied you so much.

Jinling:  exactly. I want to make him know who the ruler is.

Rusong: ah, very fair.

Sizhui: *to Rusong* does he like me that way?

Rusong: I believe so. Whenever Ling gege is nervous or flustered, he would act like just frantically give people orders.

Jingyi: classic mistress Jin.

Afterwards, there was another inauguration, in Laoling, where Rusong sat on the sect leader throne.

A-Yao however sat near him, as he looked on at the ceremony.

Former sect leader Qin, Qin Cangye, had to give his grandson the guan and sect leader robes.

After Qin cangye, Qin Su also was a clan leader, but she decided to drop it as she became empress.

When Qin Su and A-Yao were separated for a while, she began to run the sect again.

However Qin Cangye wished to inaugurate his grandson.

Qin cangye: I'm proud of you, my grandson. And I know you'll carry this sect with dignity.

Rusong: I promise I will. The Laoling Qin sect will be forever progressive.

Qin Su: aww.

Our baby.

Yao: all grown up, isn't he?

Qin Su: indeed.

Meng Shi: you two have made a leader. A true prodigy. Talented in everything he does.

A leader with a beautiful smile and an elegant aura.

Qin Su: he got it from Huangdi.

All from Huangdi.

Mengs are very persevering.

Yao: A-Song. Congratulations, baby.

May you continue to make the sect shine.

Rusong: I will, A-Die.

I certainly will.

Yao: *kisses* love you, baby.

Everyone: *clapping and cheering*

Ouyang: yayyyy!!!!! Dianxia!!!

A-qing: Rusong!!!

Jinling: *clapping as well* A-Song!

Zixuan: he's so cute.

Yao: I know right.

Qin Su: dear, go ahead and say your speech.

Rusong: certainly.

Dear qin sect members, I'll lead you to greatness.

Don't think that subordinate means inferior. Us and the Jins are allies, and we must stand together as two clans.

Jin Zongzhu and I will make sure that the Jianghu and our districts are under proper living conditions.

In addition. I'll like to announce A-qing, also known as Xue Qing, as Qin Furen.

Aqing" *blushing*

Rusong: and Sect leader Ouyang Zizhen as my concubine.

Ouyang Zizhen: *heart racing* omg omg omg.

~~~~

Later that evening, Rusong, Jinling and their blossoming harem hung out at a little soiree at Jing Manor.

Jinling: Sizhui. This is is Luo Yuan.

Haha, you both are named Yuan.

Jingyi: simp.

Rusong: what a coincidence, gege. Are you really a simp?

Jinling: don't listen to Jingyi. Of course I'm not a simp.

Rusong: *laughing*

Sizhui: nice to meet you, Luo Guniang. Countess, right?

Luo Yuan: nice to meet you too, Wen Zongzhu.

Yes I am.

So you and Jin Zongzhu are close?

Sizhui: yes yes. We do night hunts together, and would hang out most of the time.

Along with Jingyi, Ouyang Zizhen and Rusong too!

Luo Yuan: waw. Seems like you guys are a big family now.

Jinling: of course. Mengs, Qins, Jins and Wens are all intricate.

Xiao shushu was a Wen and Wen Ruohan is his stepdad. Now Wen Ruohan is Meng taihou's concubine.

He's Sizhui's distant 4th cousin. Xiao shushu is also grandpa Jin's biological son.

Rusong: A-Yi's father figure is my Shizun Lan Xichen, who happens to be A-Die's concubine.

Then the Nies are concubines, team dimple and Jiang Zongzhu. Jiang Zongzhu is A-Die's brother-in-law too

Luo Yuan: interesting. And My A-niang is really close to Xuan Huangdi.

A-qing: Yao Huangdi is a patriarch indeed. Linking all these families.

Rusong: exactly. The Jianghu thrives on strong bonds.

Ouyang Zizhen: that's why I want to bond with you, Rusong.

Rusong: *closes fan* oh dear.

Jinling: stop flirting with A-Song.

Ouyang Zizhen: you can't stop me!

Rusong: should we talk about the harem arrangements?

Jinling: mn. We should. Maybe I should give Wen Zongzhu some rules.

Rusong: ah, just don't be harsh on him.

Jinling: never!

Sizhui: so what are your harem rules

Jinling: play some guqin music for me, and serve me wine. Just be a little princess.

Sizhui: got it.

Rusong: I expect the same from you, Ouyang Zongzhu.

Also I would love you to entertain me, write poems and play music.

Ouyang Zizhen: *kneels* anything for my muse!

Rusong: *lifts Ouyang Zizhen's chin with his fan* delightful.

I am your muse, and future emperor.

Ouyang Zizhen: *blushing*

Jingyi: damn. Rusong, you're on fire.

Jinling: because he's Xiao shushu's son.

Rusong: we'll send some trainers for you both to teach you how to be concubines.

Jinling: thank us later.

Rusong: Aqing will be the head of the harem, so you got to listen to her.

Jinling: same here. Luo Yuan will be the head of the harem.

Aqing: I love that!

Luo Yuan: as it should be!

Jingyi: wow! Is that Hanguang Jun?! What is he doing here?! Not that I'm mad though.

He's talking to Nainai and Zewu Jun.

Rusong: oh gosh, Nainai will roast him.

Jinling: lol.

Jingyi: Nainai is just so savage. I love her.

Luo Yuan: the empress dowager and matriarch of two empires. As well as a goddess.

I want to meet her afterwards.

Rusong: you want to meet Nainai? Well sure you will.

A-qing: you'll love her a lot, because she's sweet. Then we'll go meet emps.

Luo Yuan: *laughing* emps?

Aqing: that's how I call Jiggy. I mean Yao huangdi.

Luo Yuan: ohh! Ahaha.

Meng Shi: whiny zhan. I mean, Hanguang Jun. Pleasure to meet you.

Lan zhan: greetings, taihou.

Meng Shi: *smiles*

Lan zhan: I'm glad that Sizhui became Jinling's concubine.

And your grandson become the Qin sect leader.

Meng Shi: thank you. Rusong is very brilliant. Like A-Yao.

Lan zhan: mn.

Meng Shi: so I heard that Wei Gongzi couldn't make it, because he had a nasty hangover. Am I right?

Lan zhan: mn.

Meng Shi: Lan gui fei, translate for me.

Xichen: he says yes.

Meng Shi: ah.

Poor Wei.

Xichen: Wangji is a man of little words.

Meng Shi: I realised.

Thank goodness he isn't a concubine.

Huangdi would have been bored.

I'm glad that wangxian isn't partial. Missing my grandson's inauguration while attending their son's.

Lan zhan: I won't lie.

Meng Shi: would you and the new Wen Zongzhu like to meet Wen Ruohan?

Lan zhan: no thanks.

He's still a tyrant.

Meng Shi: how dare you say that about my concubine.

Insulting a Meng family member is an insult to Huangdi himself. 

Sisi: Lan gui fei, taihou advises you to teach whiny zhan some etiquette.

Xichen: certainly. *trying not to Crack up, hearing whiny zhan*

Meng Shi: A-Si, let's go. We have more guests to greet.

Sisi: let's go, jiejie.

Meng Shi: *whispers, while they walked away* once I have read about Medusa turning people into stone. Was he a victim?

Sisi: *laughing*  looks much like it. Poor whiny zhan.

Meng Shi: ahaha.

Former sect leader Ouyang: Yao Huangdi, Xuan Huangdi. Your sons are very brilliant. And I can't wait for them to take their roles as Huangdis. 

Yao: thank you very much. I also look forward to their rule.

Zixuan: and they're already so close. The Jianghu will forever be glamorous and peaceful.

Yao: very healthy too. The Jin and Qin will be one.

There's no such thing as superior and subordinate again, as the leaders are literally brothers.

Well, cousins, but close as brothers.

Former sect leader Ouyang: that's delightful. Xuan Huangdi, are you happy about your son's concubine.

Zixuan: ah yes, I know he's A-ling's best friend.

The Lan aesthetic isn't my style actually.

Maybe he inherited that from his Da-jiu, Wei wuxian.

And as for the Wen, I find it's pretty cool that he got himself a sect leader.

Rebranding a sect is impressive though.

Former sect leader Ouyang: what about you, Yao Huangdi?

I hope you forgive my idiot son for being embarrassing in public.

I know he has to be an upright clan leader, but he's still childish.

Yao: that's fine, former sect leader. They're still young.

I'm delighted to see that A-Song has a concubine so fine and talented. Us Mengs are known for seducing the Jianghu, hence it's expected.

Ouyang Zizhen is very ideal for my son.

....

Luo Yuan: greetings taihou. *kneels, then kisses her hand*

Meng Shi: pleasure to meet you. You may rise.

You're A-ling's fiance?

Luo Yuan: yes I am!

Meng Shi: you're very pretty. And your family produce and export silk right?

Luo Yuan: correct, taihou.

Meng Shi: I wish you and A-ling a happy married life in the future.

Luo Yuan: thank you. Taihou, I have always wanted to meet you! I know I grew up with Jinling Dianxia but.

Meng Shi: it's fine, dear. That time I was busy transitioning to a goddess.

Now I'm happy to see you too.

Luo Yuan: ah. And you're beautiful as a goddess.

Meng Shi: thank you. Now are you and A-qing besties? You two look adorable together.

Luo Yuan: actually we are, but I believe we should hang out more, and maybe learn about our roles.

Meng Shi: I agree. Why don't you two go take a spa day or shopping. I'll fund you two.

Luo Yuan: sounds wonderful! I would really love to go shopping. If that's ok.

Meng Shi: shop and have fun, dear. You and A-qing.

You know, A-su and A-Li are the best of friends too.

Luo Yuan: aww. 

Meng Shi: now you two go shopping tomorrow, while the princes deal with their sec leader stuff.

A-qing: sounds like a plan!

Luo Yuan: I'm up for it!

A-qing: what about the gui feis.

Meng Shi: they're already friends. But they should assist their Dianxias.

And act like concubines.

Luo Yuan: yep. They should!

[thatswhatsushesaid]

did alex jones pivot from spreading misinformation about US politics to spreading misinformation about danmei novels or something. is there an infowars: jianghu edition out there that has just eluded my notice until now. because i cannot understand how some of these clear misrepresentations of the novel are gaining such traction otherwise.

[vozaho]

Más de mi au de los bastarditos jin<3 otra vez excluyendo a ZiXuan pq a ese wey sí lo quiere su papá

Translation:

QS: What a terrible man, we finally have avenged our mothers.

jGY: We have purge the Jin sect of it's worst monster. Now we will take what belongs to us.

MXY: Yeah... We should fuck in his garden.

I don't know why but I don't mind being fucking stupid in Spanish -my native language- but when I -poorly- try to translate my things to English I notice the stupid shit I'm saying and it's like "what have I done?"😭 Jajaksldk vtlv

[tiredbitchposts]

Look, i know that Shen Yuan died a virgin and while he had no sexual experience he canonly kissed before getting with Luo Binghe, but do y'all know what would be hysterical in my opinion? If Shen Yuan had a gaggle of ex girlfriends he left behind when he died. Now, you may be wondering, what's so hysterical about that? Well, for one, it just tinkles me pink to think that the same guy who indirectly died from how angry a webnovel he dedicated a great amount of time commenting on made him actually got/could get bitches but decided that verbally abusing Airplane over his shit writting sounded more fun. I also think that knowing the system he'd at some point fall victim to some type of plant or curse that'd force him to name all of his ex lovers out loud unless he wished to die while the rest of the sect watches. Can y'all imagine Yue QingYuan, Luo Binghe, Liu Qingge and fucking Airplane's faces while he's there naming "Yu YaoYao, Mei Ling, Jiang Qin, Fei Liao" plus who else with a pained look on his face while trying to guess if middle school and internet relationships also count??? Plus, i just know he rationalized any lack of sexual thoughts he had towards his exes with "Well, i can't think sexually of a woman who's not my wife, that'd be disrespectful"

[whetstonefires]

Oh! There's an idea. I'm fairly certain he doesn't, or it would have come up at some point in the narration, but it's a neat image.

And really, the Lan aren't that sort of aristocrats. Arguably they aren't aristocrats as such at all, though soldier also isn't right. They're a martial sect, and they're country gentry of some kind; they'd have to change a lot in a lot of ways, to fit in at any sort of imperial court.

The thing is, with this setting--it very much is not any time in real actual Chinese history, and isn't trying to be. There are all sorts of obvious anachronisms but also really significantly, there doesn't seem to be a court to be a courtier at.

The center of political gravity is whichever sect is currently preeminent; no one ever acts like there's some other center elsewhere, with an emperor or duke at it.

This is essential to a lot of plot beats; if the leaders of this society risked ever having to answer to anyone but one another the story would look quite different. It also means this is about as similar to any actual chinese history as middle-earth is to european history.

So yeah the Lan would almost certainly send some of their people to take the exams for prestige if those existed, and some of their degree holders might even seek government positions, but there is no emperor. and even if there was the clan would be provincial notables, and they'd like it that way.

being fixated on the same piece of fiction for several years is great because you wind up drilling down to the most fiddly detail shit like:

qin players need their nails to be a certain minimum length on the right hand, to get the proper pluck effect on the string.

however, there's ofc a maximum length the human fingernail can be before you can't grip things firmly without risk of breaking it and/or stabbing yourself, and lan wangji also wields a sword right-handed.

therefore, an essential part of his personal grooming must be frequent self-manicures to keep his nails on one hand exactly the right length, in good condition, and filed very smooth. the latter both because the qin strings are silk and you don't want to snag and because a nail that isn't filed into a clean curve is more prone to catching and tearing, and if he breaks a nail he can't use his ranged music attacks etc.

(also i think having untidy nails would bug him even if it had no practical consequences, and it's arguably against lan sect rules.)

this was especially important to keep up with during the war, when he had to use both implements frequently, and as well as he possibly could.

so lan wangji on the war front, not necessarily managing to keep up his usual standards of hygiene and personal dress (i think the only detail we ever get about him in that period is Wei Wuxian instructing the kid roleplaying sunshot-era hanguang-jun that he was uncharacteristically covered in blood) still carefully trimming and filing the nails of his right hand, every day.

what sort of nail file do you think he owns. what's a historically accurate nail file going to be made of, huh? what's a luxurious historically accurate nail file going to be made of?

you probably could get a nail-filing texture onto jade but i have a hard time believing anyone would.

[marzennya]

Notification: The peerless jade fairy of Cang Qiong's Mountain Sect is smiling! Looks like he's easily amused by his disciples' antics...!!! What a surprise!!! +300 Overwhelming Beauty Points!

Ok now for my silly little notes in fashion and other nonsense about this piece:

This is specifically Shen Yuan during the pre-abyss arc, mostly because I have a very, very different interpretation of him when he's already married to Binghe- Empress Shen is a whole other, much more decked out beast I will one day tackle.

His clothes are based on late Qin to early Han dynasty clothes for women, mostly because I can, and it seemed perfect for him; it's completely covered, and thus respectable and elegant! Nothing wrong to see here. It's also tight-er around the legs, which leaves things to the imagination...half of the mountain is definitely thinking about his long, slender, lily-white legs at any given time.

Is it technically crossdressing? Yeah, but it is a shitty Xia-Xia world, who's gonna stop me? Airplane? That guy would be on my side, actually.

The see-through outer robe is a flex, look at all that expensive fabric...just hanging off of him...a rich kid in one life a rich kid in all of them.

Binghe does his hair because he's terrible at it and can only do half-updo's or ponytails, he's too distracted by the mere thought of touching Shizun's hair to stop and think why Shen Qingqiu can't do it all of a sudden thankfully.

The hair, on a more serious note, is a bit more realistic to ancient-Chinese hair than an actual half-updo. Though it is more similar to late Han or Tang dynasties hairstyles than anything. Again, shitty Xia-Xia, don't play with me.

There's a little turtle in his fan because I think he'd be like awn that's so cute and either Liu Qingge or Yue QingYuan would be immediately like. I'll buy it!!! He acquires many-a-thing by simply looking cute and staring at it until one of them gets it for him I'm sure.
