Literally only got to humanizing Cheep-Cheep because of the Swap 7 AU thing. But I'm glad I did, cuz I had fun with this one!

The idea I have for him being an inventor comes from the fact that- well, his owner is one. So I applied it to him too.

I have no idea what the human equivalent of the helmet story would even be, I just wanted to draw him in it lol.

what are your favorite athy's au? In fanfics

Hmmm I don't know if the fandom has that many established AUs for me to choose from, and in WMMAP's setting I normally prefer canon compliant or canon divergence fics.

That been said, I enjoy any type of AU that explores Athy betraying or going against Claude in some way or another. It's just a really interesting idea to explore from a narrative point of view (one of the absolute best fics in this fandom is a russian fic where Athy sides with Ana. So well written). Villainess Athy AUs can be good if done correctly (Athy still has to be Athy, you know? Don't switch her personality to a generic manhwa villainess). I also love those "Athy reincarnates over and over again until she finally snaps" types of AUs. Throw LP!Athy into the mix and you have a heart-wrenching story.

On the more lighthearted side, I like those stories where Athy travels back in time and meets young Claude, before he became the person that he is now. Athy becoming Lucas' magic apprentice is also a very fun idea, but it doesn't come up that often. Ah, does wlw lucathy AU count? Because let me tell you, the way in which Athy speaks about women in the novel- My girl is bisexual for sure.

For the ask meme, au where wwx kills lxc at qiangpi path instead of jzx.

Or gender swap jc au.

Ok, so it took me a while to think this over, because there’s a lot here, and then talking it over with @demoiselledefortune I realized there’s even more than I thought! (still thinking about the genderswap jc one)

Also, poor, poor LWJ. 🙁 (LQR doesn't bear thinking about. That poor, poor man. I don't talk about LQR under the cut because it's too sad for me to contemplate.)

1) So the thing is, this isn’t a noticeably better accidental killing for WWX, because while the Lans may be less the powerhouse than the Jins, JGS will definitely try and use LXC’s death to turn against WWX. And it’s going to be stupidly easy, because LXC was a sect leader and the sworn brother of his son.

(I assume LXC was there because he was invited to JL’s 100 days ceremony and his passing there was a coincidence, while in canon he was already at Jinlintai. So maybe JZX is still in Jinlintai here, the confrontation happening earlier and thus before JZX departed; or JZX is here as well as he was in canon, and LXC was the one running late - in which case, JZX is alive and a witness and might speak up on WWX’s behalf at least to his wife and his BIL, at least to tell them that it seemed an accident. This turns out not to have much of an impact on the grand scale of things OR on JYL and JC’s understanding of what happened, bc they already trust WWX so much, but it does have an impact on JZX’s view of the world and himself. This is less about WWX than it is about politics in general and his father in specific. In that version he’s much more in-the-middle of things, much more aware of being personally dismissed. In that version there’s a chance he and JYL go live in LP.)

Besides the Jins, there’s also NMJ, who is a big fan of his sworn brothers not getting killed and of not shielding people from the consequences of their actions. Just putting it out there where we can see it. On the other hand, they’re not LXC’s most direct family. LWJ and the Lans are, so NMJ lets LWJ take point.

(There's a version of this prompt where NMJ qi-deviates when he hears about LXC's death. In that timeline should WWX get killed NHS' plans never feature bringing him back.)

2) Know for whom LXC dying instead of JZX changes things a lot, though? WQ and WN. When they decide to surrender themselves, they go to Cloud Recesses, not Jinlintai. LWJ and his sect I feel wouldn't punish WQ for LXC’s death. She wasn't there.

(WN, otoh, is very done for. There is no way GSL pulls a Jin to keep him around. He's a fierce corpse and the one who killed their sect leader at that. They execute him/lay his soul to rest. There's no further desacration of WN and that's probably the bitterest comfort WQ could hope for. WQ does try to shield WN when she realizes the Lans aren't planning on executing her, but she doesn't get that.)

WQ would easily get a promise of safety from LWJ for at least A-Yuan, probably Granny, maybe the others - on the sterner end of the scale for the adult cultivators. This is somewhat dependent on what JGS (and NMJ) are clamoring for but JGS wants the Stygian Seal more than he does the Wens and NMJ would be satisfied with the Lans supervising the fate of the Wen remnants. Besides, the most high-profile of the Wen remnants is WQ and she just surrendered herself. WN would say WWX isn’t responsible for LXC’s death, it was a freak resentful energy accident–

3) I think what LWJ does demand about WWX is... that WWX be given over to Gusu Lan. They can lock him up. And purify him of the resentful energy.

LWJ is in a frankly abysmal mental space - it’s only because his cultivation is so orthodox that he doesn't qi deviate. It’s all tearing him up, LXC’s death because of the guy LWJ has a crush on, LWJ’s want for WWX and LWJ’s wish that he could (imitate his father) bring someone back to CR and lock them up and LWJ suddenly being in the horrendous situation where he is imitating his father. The memory of the kiss is now a nightmare. It was always a mixed memory (how shameful, to lose control of himself thus - to take advantage of the one he loved - to lack even the courage to simply ask, either for the kiss, or at least for forgiveness) but now it makes him retch.

It's all twisted in the fact that LXC is dead, because of WWX. There can be nothing between LWJ and WWX now. Simply wishing there could be would be the worst betrayal.

(LWJ remembers the days of their youth, LXC’s delight and gentle teasing at LWJ’s inexplicable liking of WWX. The Water Abyss. And now LXC is dead, because of the boy he was so happy LWJ wanted for a friend. LXC always wanted LWJ to have friends, something akin to his own friendship with NMJ.)

0) (the Problem. The Problem is that I cannot see WWX staying in the Cloud Recesses if he's imprisoned there. If he wouldn't rather die at first, he will afterwards. LWJ thinks of his mother. If WWX dies LWJ would enter seclusion like his father once did. This isn’t something LWJ tells himself consciously.)

4) JC and JYL visit WWX in the Cloud Recesses while he's imprisoned there. JC hates LWJ for it, but I think he's self-aware enough to think “what if it had been Jiejie.” It’s hard to hate LWJ wholeheartedly.

5) WQ is in Cloud Recesses, too. She’ll never live outside the Cloud Recesses again, but it could have been far worse. She’s allowed time with A-Yuan (she is not in forced seclusion and neither is she A-Yuan’s mother but LWJ cannot let himself see them together, or else he starts to think of how she isn’t allowed to raise her kin herself.)

When it comes out *pretty damn early* that WWX doesn’t have a core, she’s the one who implies WZL got him.

(JC is in LWJ’s office clamoring, begging for WWX to be released into the care of YMJ in a hot minute after he finds out - which takes at least one or two visits, because no-one wrote to tell him, and it takes him asking a question about how getting WWX rid of resentful energy and not letting go when the answer’s too cagey to his taste for him to know. If it were just LWJ– but LWJ has elders. plus there’s also LXC’s sworn brothers to contend with; LWJ isn’t thinking of that, and JC will think of it later, after LWJ has refused to return WWX to YMJ.) JC is so so so angry at everyone involved - WWX for *lying to him*, why didn’t you *tell me*, I would have *helped* - WQ for hiding it from him AND not telling him when she told the Lans (to which she retorts that she isn’t exactly allowed a free correspondence. Hmph. Okay. JC allows that. WQ has negative scruples about lying to him about the core rn.) - LWJ for keeping WWX a prisoner here even though WWX is, is, WWX isn’t a cultivator anymore he’s a normal person let YMJ watch over him, let JC - even JYL for having something else in her life that she loves, that isn’t WWX locked up in another sect.

WQ is also the one who sees when WWX is seriously at risk of his life just fading away, and this time she tells JC: if WWX doesn’t get out, he will die.

The fic ends with WQ and JC breaking WWX out of the Cloud Recesses (it’s implied LWJ is looking the other way). WQ stays in CR, of course, but JC is taking WWX to Lotus Pier. There’s no plan for “later”.

been thinking of an LPS Popular Swap AU. (and no i dont mean genderbends. i mean like the characters switching roles)

[leffee]

Which version of Vinnie is your favorite? And why?

Do you knooow how hard it is to choose one? I mean, I love them all. Well, it's actually not hard to choose because most of them are occasional or outdated, but still, I have so many Vinnies running around in my head. And I know nobody asked for this, but let me give you a rundown (short version):

so there's the canon Vinnie of course, the one from the lps show

of course my human au Vinnie (with his many slightly altered versions)

anthro Vinnie, who is basically exactly like human au Vinnie but with a tail, some scales, and some other gecko qualities (i.e. cold blood, eating insects, and more)

yandere Vinnie (who is not necessarily always yandere, but I mean the really possesive and overly devoted one, I call him yandere for simplicity)

my two versions of fnaf Vinnie, who is basically Foxy (though he's not a full animal animatronic, just athropomorphic) in this au, kinda. One of them is regular Foxy, the other one is supposed to be Glamrock Foxy, but you know, it's Vinnie instead. Actually there's four versions, because he can he either be a lizard, like his usual self, or a fox, like Foxy

there's also mammal Vinnie. Well, that's kind of a stupid sounding name, but that's what I call him because the entire point of this au is that Vinnie is supposed to be a mammal. And by that I mean he's an anthropomorphic fox. So basically a human but with fox ears and a fox tail. And yes, it is entirely because I love Foxy from fnaf. They became one. And even then Vinnie can be green or red because I can't decide on one

there are also, I think 5 versions of him based on Undertale Aus. No wait, six. Those are actually one of the outdated ones, I'm not into Undertale anymore, so I don't really care about those ones now. Idk if you know any Undertale stuff so I will keep it short, the 6 Undertale universes I had in were: the regular Undertale, Swap!Vinnie based on Underswap (he's basically like Russell, this one goes by Vincent), Fell!Vinnie from Underfell, Vinnie but like Error Sans, Vinnie but like Ink Sans, and last but not least, this one doesn't have a special name, but he's like Cross Sans but my version. He's basically Sans. Kinda. Well, that probably didn't make any sense, so let's move on:

I won't gloss over those, here, I'll just give you all the shows and games I have Vinnie versions of: Miracuolus Ladybug (he's supposed to be technically Chat Noir, but I never imagined anything more for him, I just want him to have the power of distruction), of course his My Little Pony version, he's not supposed to be anyone here, just him as a pony; Attack on Titan Vinnie, Boku no Hero Academia Vinnie (which honestly doesn't mean much, I just want him to have a cool quirk xd), Danganronpa Vinnie, Haikyuu!! Vinnie, Omori Vinnie, and last but not least, Portal Vinnie. Those are most of the shows and games I have listed in my pinned post, because well, I downright insert him into anything I like

there's also genderbend Vinnie, who just looks like his sister I made up, just shorter

aaand that's everything. Okay, it's definitely not everything, but everything I can remember now. I had him for ten years, of course there's so many of him

As you can see, there's quite few of them, ahah. So now that I infodumped all of this will I actually answer the question? Yes, yes I will.

My favourite is probably the 3rd one - anthro Vinnie because, again, he's basically like human au Vinnie, but with a tail and some scales, and why would I not want a Vinnie with those?

Made an older version of the pet... I mean kids

[thesopwithcamel]

A hat in time AU idea: Apocalypse Swap au (or just APswap au, wip).

Background: a sort of ahit swap au but with some Fallout shennanigans in between, this changes the roles of multiple characters while also putting a post apocalyptic spin on Hat Kid's origins as well as aging her up to her species equivalent of 15 years old.

The storyline however is very different as it brings back many cut characters and locations, passes character traits onto new ones and follows a combination of retail and cut content. It also explores Hat Kid's past and the actions leading up to her escape.

Calcite Characters:

Mustache Girl (real name: Jane, sirname unknown) is a local resident of the city of Calcite and an apprentice to Tim the CEO of Time, she mostly shares her canon personality but the trauma with the mafia is mostly removed (as I'm giving it to Bow Kid) due to being sheltered by Tim despite him lossing a Time Piece to the Lazy Paw Mafia Boss.

Bow Kid (real name: Laura Jennings Durr) is another local resident and a victim of the Lazy Paw's brutality as they imprisoned her and murdered her parents, she is probably one of the only denizens actively fighting the Lazy Paw using sabotage. This has led to gaining a few scratches here and there. Following Jane defeating the Lazy Paw boss Laura almost went the same way as retail Mustache girl with only Tim coming in at the last second promising the removal of the lazy paw if she helps Jane stopping her.

Hat Kid (real name: Penny Lesley Kiethman) is a space traveling alien from an unidentified planet escaping on a solar sail generation ship with under a million of her kind, her ship halts near Earth and she awakens from her cryo induced slumber only to find that her pod was the only one to open. She desperately heads down to Terra to find parts to fix her ship but gets fixated by the Time Pieces and she wishes one to fix up and power the reactor. Problem is that Jane won't hand one over...yeah you know where this is going. Following her defeat at Generations and Timelines Penny lays low for a while before saving Jane's life at the Arctic Town.

The Lazy Paw: a cat gang coming from an unidentified location that had decided to take over most of Calcite and basically took over their segmants governing council, they wrapped up warm for Calcites colder enviroment with fur and leather coats and are ruthless towards anyone who pisses them off. Their leader the Lazy Paw Boss was the one that personally killed Laura's parents and gouged out one of her eyes.

Goofy Paw (real name: Josef Fritz Verville) is a member of the Lazy Paw gang, while he is a reliable member he is also a cryptozoologist and a member of a local conspiracy theorist group made up of Lazy Paw members and locals. He is the first one to encounter Penny and was the one who reported to LP Boss about her.

Tim (full name Tim Davis Reginald) the CEO of Time, local somewhat insane person (although Oldster beats him by far), high ranking Timekeeper of the ACTT and a very eccentric individual. He is known for being very carefree but still takes his job seriously, his predessesor told him to not have a melt down. How he had a meltdown over not having a meltdown is beyond me but he wishes to fix it so he sends Jane out to put things right.

Sam the Detective: a detective that specialises in different factors and currently on the payrole of the Lazy Paw to look the other way while they committ the crimes they do, while Sam is somewhat Scummy the Lazy Paw do have his family hostage and he is a good, if somewhat scummy, person.

Oldster: an old senile man living in a dumpster, oldster was once a respected part of town but the Lazy Paw utterly destroyed him both physically, emotionally and financially. He was rendered a paranoid, decrepid old man.

Timekeeper Blu: a relatively experienced Timekeeper and proud of his job, he is a very joyful individual but can sometimes be too serious and even hostile. If someone unfamiliar even touches a Time Piece he can get very defensive. Blu takes Laura under his wing as an apprentice following the events of Generations and Timelines.

Lady Puella: A very experienced Time Keeper rumoured to be older than this current Timeline, Puella is a very strict keeper and is good at first response and at dealing with struggling or troublesome apprentices. She was also a first responder during the events of Arctic Town and following those events takes Penny under arrest and places her in the ACTT's youth reformatory program before taking Penny under her wing as an apprentice.

Locations:

City of Calcite and Lazy Paw district.

Off the Rails

Subcon Forest

Sandy Sails

Generations and Timelines

Nyakuza Crew

Arctic Town

(character designs will come out later)

[itzpris15634]

alright, time to actually answer this one. for real. @avalanchesparkgrenade

Before I go into their appearances, I actually wrote up some small things for them to help me out with that.

I’ll keep their hobbies, but put a new spin on them in personalities.

Sunil is a cocky and overconfident magician. Sure, he’s brave and all, but also pretty darn reckless. He’s a bit too sure of himself and his magical abilities, so anytime a trick goes wrong he gets very frustrated.

Zoe has quite the talent for singing. Thing is, she’s way too shy to be showing it off. But her friends do their best to encourage her, to share her talent and skills with everyone else.

Pepper is always looking forward to sharing what she’s got. A sweet scent at her friends’ request, or perhaps a silly one liner to make them giggle. All for them, rarely herself.

Penny is tough and defensive. You might mistake her lack of reaction during emotional moments as her being apathetic, but she truly does care about her loved ones. She just doesn’t express it very well.

Vinnie knows all of his stuff. Not just when it comes to dance, even though he’d consider that his forte. Just toss him a mathematical equation or an english trivia question, and he’ll be able to give you the right answer.

Minka is calm, collected, and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to her art. Everything down to every splatter has to be thrown at the right angle, in the right color, with the right sort of brush…

Russell takes his place as the most fun loving of the group. He also enjoys the a little bit of mischief here and there. It makes everyone laugh, so why stop?

As for how they look? Uh… I imagine they wouldn’t look to different from their original counterparts. How does this work?

Some are just changed up hair like Zoe, Sunil, and Minka. Others, I added some accessories to. Vinnie has glasses because, well, smart. And now Russell is permanently Fun Russell. Then Penny and Pepper are uhhh- I had no ideas for them, honestly :( But hopefully these suffice.

Archive footage from a Sept 11, 1988 news segment on French television, in which Luc Plamondon talks about the new show.

Most interesting to me, apart from rehearsal footage which I'm always a sucker for, is the exchange at 3:40 (transcribed & translated in full under the cut) which makes it clear that Plamondon & Berger were dissatisfied with the way the story played out in the original show and sought to rework it for clarity in later stagings so it would be more "like a movie."

This tracks fully with my own impression of the 88 show (pedagogical to a fault in the way it adds narrative explanations of who's who, what they're doing, how they relate to each other) but for me what's interesting is that I found the 88 show is so much 'poorer' than the original (and the 2022 version) precisely for that reason. Sure, we didn't really need the 70s alien god or Johnny's soul ascending to join the forces of the universe, but at least it has a whismy, a poetry which the straightforward 88 version sorely lacks if you ask me.

And I think it's interesting that the 2022 version goes back to a more original version -- Thomas Jolly has said that he was initially asked to make the show using the 88 libretto, but that he refused -- and with the help of some song order swaps and clever staging, but crucially without adding anything - except the "duo d'adieu" which is from 88 I believe - tells that story I think in perhaps its most effective way ever, original included.

Transcription/translation:

Présentateur: Alors moi j'avais aimé Starmania il y a 9 ans, j'y suis allé, j'ai acheté le disque... Qu'est ce qui pourrait me motiver aujourd'hui d'y retourner?

[Host: So I loved Starmania 9 years ago, I went, I bought the record... What could motivate me to go back today?]

LP: Est-ce que vous aviez compris l'histoire, y'a 10 ans ? Parce que y'a 10 ans, les gens sortaient en disant 'les chansons sont formidables etc., le spectacle, mais on comprend rien à l'histoire'. Cette fois-ci -- d'abord on l'a monté 2x au Québec, en 80 et en 86, et à chaque fois on a retravaillé, et maintenant ça se lit comme un film, quoi. On suit l'histoire comme un film. Les chansons sont toujours là bien sûr, mais je crois que ce qui peut vous motiver c'est de venir... comprendre de quoi ça parle.

[Well, did you understand the story, 10 years ago? Because people who came out of the show used to say, 'the songs and the show are great, but we don't get the story at all.' This time -- first of all, we put on the show twice in Quebec since, in 1980 and 86, and each time we re-worked it, and now it reads like a movie. You can follow the story like a movie. The songs are still there of course, but I think what could motivate you is to come and figure out what the plot is about.]

hi can we get your heathney thoughts and hc </3 ur ppp fic was so good i read it all in one day i love the dynamic u gave them

talking about ppp in the past tense is kind of killing meee(i want to work on it again idk whats up i just have writers block infinity and health problems + phys disability flareups. blehhh) anyways once i get to it again is when its gonna get good. rn its just setup for setup BUT IM GLAD YOU LIKE IT SO FAR! yay ^_^! truthfully i see way too much wrong with it and want to fix a lot and thats part of why i havent touched it in like. um 7 months🤐. lemme retcon some things and fix the pacing and itll be GOOODDDD...

heathney is literally just whatever i feel like forcing onto them at the moment because when i was writing hcag and ppp there was like... 3 fics for them HELP😭 and i had a different idea in my head than the ones i half-read. i havent really touched ao3 in the same last 7 months so im not sure if its different now but bc it was bleak for a while i kinda just made stuff up and hoped it stuck with people (which apparently it did. im glad people like my work :3)

my thinking about them started when i was writing/drafting heartaches (im still writing for it too. auahghh🫠) it was all spawned by a random train of thought that i wish world tour was less focused on alejandro and more on the dynamic that could have formed around heather and courtney PURELY because of that 1 second scene where heather was comforting courtney. thats literally it that entire fic was spawned by two seconds and some anons egging me on bc it was an idea other people were interested in. I wanted to delve into the thought process of heather behind that. like how genuine was that scene to heather and how impactful was it to courtney. basically I just thought the idea of heather taking advantage of courtney when she was so volatile and emotionally clingy sounded evil and fun. i literally just didnt like that courtney got so into alejandro bc i hate that man so much so i swapped some things around and got hcag

sorry for being the ultimate tangent master im finally getting back to ppp heathney. anyways. Having been writing the sort of dynamic of heather and courtney being weird teammates that are only using eachother but also in it for their own emotional clingyness reminded me of my FAVORITE SHOW EEVRRR lps populaarr🙈🙈🙈🙈 and also aus of that show i love so i stole the concept. in my mind they became childhood besties for the resties until they got separated then hated eachother when they met up years later. With the way i was writing heather in hcag i was thinking soooo hard about how fucked up courtney couldve been if she had an influence like heather as a kid. this is also going back to my time in the amphibia fandom oops i hella stole everything for that fic and tweaked some things.

I dont think ppp is the heathney dynamic of all time because its literally shit i made up and stole and inserted into a really self indulgent fic, BUT it is a dynamic i love for them in the setting of the au its in. heather being so so so controlling to courtney as kids and courtney having no friends to base this behavior off of thinking its normal. aughh... they have opposite levels of social skills which makes their communication shit which entertains me. Heather knows what she wants from people and knows how to get it, and she doesnt notice (or care) how harmful she can be. Courtney doesnt know how to talk to people very well and has a very twisted grasp of what people think about her, in her eyes being the most well liked person on the planet and throwing a tissy fit every time thats challenged. im gonna say it 20 times but it just grasps me way too hard and it gets my brain thinking forever and ever about them. courtney as is very much a "i want what i want and ill get it" kind of person but in ppp heather is so good at manipulating her that the kinds of personality traits she shows in canon are very much suppressed (whether that was on accident or on purpose from heather is technically spoilers? for ppp i guess). theyre still there but hidden from years of being friends with heather as a child. LOL BASICALLY. i hope its obvious but despite their deep friendship as a child and how much love (and rose tinted glasses) they had for eachother and the past, that shit was NOT HEALTHY!!!! AT ALL!

so heather is really good at manipulating and courtney was the one that ended up on the brunt of it all. not surprising, we all know what heather is like, but COURTNEY.. ohh im so sorry about what i do to her im constantly fucking her up because i just love to see how she reacts to it. she is so reactive and emotional and i love it. i love seeing such an intelligent and confident woman be so weak to her own damn self UGH it kills me inside but i cant look away i need to mess her up constantly. Courtney in ppp has such an interesting perspective to write because i can insert some random ass idea into her head and play it off because she is emotionally STUPID! you can truly make her think anything thats at an extremely juvenile level of emotional awareness/understanding and you'll be able to play it off because she has way too much confidence in herself while knowing very little outside of academics and very clear-cut rule oriented things. the way it plays into her thoughts about heather too.. oohhhh. evil evil stuff.. she knows heather is considered a bad person and she also sees herself as being better than everyone in every way so she cant mentally stoop down to heathers level of brutality, meanwhile because of the way she sees herself shes constantly thinking bad of others and people see them very similarly. Courtney doesnt realize it but she is on a veryy similar playing field to heather in terms of how people see them. it would be gutting if she ever realized but her brain does Not let her see it that way. i just love courtney corruption arc ok orz. i need heather to play into it so damn bad. it grabs me so hard.

anyways this is quite messy and very spur of the moment but these are basically my thoughts on them. i want them to make eachother worse but in the most fucked up way imaginable. i want them to have the most deep and complicated history ever

Re: What would one of Jiang Cheng's incarnations react to transmigrating into him after reading mdzs?

Dealer's choice! Maybe they're all alive. Maybe everyone who survived/died in canon did the same in transmigrator!JC's home reality. Maybe it's the reverse. Maybe they're all dead. Whatever you think is most interesting!

Hmm. Hm. I don't think a lot about transmigration AUs (I get sad/confused about the transmigrators/transmigratees), so lemme think.

Okay I do know there 100% cannot be a JL or a JYL or anything that JC is responsible for back in the real world, because otherwise that man's main priority would be to go back.

If there's a WWX behind I think the funniest possibility is that that WWX manages to open a transdimensional portal and find JC - no dead/disappeared JC allowed! (Incidentally I would prefer if canon!JC and transmigrator!JC had swapped, so canon!JC can return and each pair of WWX-JC can talk it out)

I feel this goes against the spirit of transmigration AU 😔

Maybe it's about JC's failure to connect with the people he meets in mdzs, and he feels some dark satisfaction when he realizes that that's largely what people expect from him - aside from JL, canon!JC always kind of had that arm length aura of not wanting to get close (thanks WWX). He'd feel pretty sad and guilty about JL, though.

He might probably still do his best sect leadership wise, because these people are depending on him, but eeerrrrr he's not actually a sect leader. He leans on his disciples but it's frustrating how little he feels equipped to be in control of things. I think he tells them what's wrong with him after a while - the person that he's quickly learned was his SIC in all but name (because canon!JC never did name an actual SIC; transmigrator!JC would pretend that he's surprised, but no, he's not, canon!JC couldn't be more transparent if he'd tried, this is embarrassing), a couple others.

I think one of them probably involves WWX. Their Sect Leader isn't their sect leader, okay. They've lost their sect leader and they need him back, and who do you go to when you're familiar with Jiang Wanyin and faced with the impossible?

So WWX and his husband come crashing into LP. (the person who sells the secret out is fully prepared to grovel and/or be exiled once canon!JC is back. if that's the price to pay, so be it, it will be shouldered gladly! (LWJ develops an unexpected kinship for that person. the person in question doesn't care, but that only serves to make LWJ like them more.))

It's WWX! It's a lot! ...for transmigrator!JC who has a falling-out with the WWX in his world back then, and ugh WWX is just so WWX, and also JC did read mdzs, and he knows exactly how WWX feels about canon!JC! How could he not! It's laid out plainly in the book! Every petty resentment, every unkind thought, every intent of WWX to misunderstand canon!JC and only ever see him through the most unflattering lens, culminating in the worst "it's not me, it's you"-- sorry, he means "it's not me, it's that my debt toward your family is repaid and you really really really don't owe me anything more if you would just kindly let me go and get out of my life forever" of all times. So transmigrator!JC is kind of very annoyed at WWX, and he doesn't have the best temper.

It comes out one day, when WWX starts one too many sentences about canon!JC and cuts him off with a sigh and a shake of his head, like he's so disappointed in canon!JC, but not surprised. Transmigrator!JC ends spills the secret of the golden core like poison, turning it into a weapon to stab WWX verbally with. It's cruel but JC means it to be cruel. Canon!JC would have died without letting WWX know the truth, too bad, canon!JC isn't there anymore, all there is a tired transmigrator who frankly dgaf.

and then, I suppose, they switch back.
