MDZS from Jin Ling's perspective is just like

Be me, age 13

Go to Prove Myself At My Job (which was decided from birth because this is a xianxia)

My fuckass incest uncle makes fun of me for being motherless

Since when was fuckass incest uncle a good fighter??

Uncle-in-law decides to glue my lips shut

Whatever.jpg

Get into an argument with my uncledad

Hear rumors about a haunted tomb in the woods

Be in the walls of said tomb and nearly die

Wake up to fuckass incest uncle leaning over me with my robes half off

Whatever.jpg

Why the fuck am I finding dead cats now

Wind up in an actual ghost town

Why the fuck is this guy here again

Say we should be cautious about this guy who we wind up should have been cautious about

Holy shit incest uncle got some moves

Is this how making friends works

Whatever.jpg

Go home

Why is incest uncle here AGAIN at a banquet he DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE AT

Ok whatever he might be a fuckass incest uncle but he's MY fuckass incest uncle. Piss off Jin Chan

Incest uncle's pretty cool actually

My aunt kills herself

Whatever.jpg

Fuckass incest uncle is actually the dude I was supposed to murder for killing my dad. Who is also my uncle

I stab him

The uncledad who was telling me to murder demonic cultivators is not happy about that

I get kidnapped

Everyone is mad at me for stabbing the guy I was supposed to stab according to everyone ever including myself

Whatever.jpg

Worst Family Reunion Ever Happens

Oh god is Hanguang-jun going to kill my uncledad (happens like 3 times)

Oh god is my uncle going to kill me

My uncle helped murder my dad by accident??

The dude who literally put his hand through my dad's chest saves me

My uncle dies

My uncledad decides now is a good time to return to the philosophy of not hitting children

Yao-zhongzhu decides opening his mouth is a good idea

I have one relative left alive

I am Sect Leader Now

The juniors’ adventures post canon

[littlesmartart]

sometimes I think about older Mianmian meeting Jin Ling and I just. have to take a moment.

what do you do when you leave soceity for noble righteous reasons and strike out on your own... only to find out that your best friend got married, had a son, and then was tragically killed by the guy that you left society to stand up for, all in less than two years? that you were at each others' sides your whole lives but because you left in such a scandalous way, you can't even go to his funeral - if you even find out at about it in time? might things have gone differently if you'd been there? could you have saved him? how do you even begin to mourn him? and do you have any right to try and talk to his son?

on a happier note, I think she WOULD talk to him because she knows no one else at Koi Tower would have told him any cool and/or deeply embarrassing stories about Zixuan and you know she absolutely has to remedy that. Cool Auntie Mianmian to the rescue!

i bet wei wuxian sees a lot of people in jin ling. i think he sees the arrogance and reluctance of jin zixuan in him and the way he swings his sword. i think he sees jiang yanli's kindness and earnestness in him. i think he sees jiang cheng's quickness to anger and little mannerisms in him because that was after all the man who helped raise him.

i think jiang cheng sometimes sees little traces of wei wuxian in jin ling, which doesnt make sense because he never met wei wuxian until he got resurrected and so maybe jiang cheng is seeing things, but on days when jin ling laughs or runs down the wooden platforms of lotus pier, picking lotus seeds from the water and going "jiujiu, look!" all he can see is his older brother doing the exact same things, laughing the same way and calling for his attention in the same way too "jiang cheng, a-cheng, look!"

they both see what they love in jin ling

Who raised you ???…

My uncle! Got a problem with that?

[obsidianstrawberrymilk]

Sometimes I remember my perception of Sizhui is not Actually very popular and most people just see him as a Nice Boy. Which is fine and more or less what canon gives us but *also* what canon gives us:

Sizhui is good at being nice to people but not good at seeing things from perspectives he disagrees with. See: Hello Jin Ling who's parents were killed by This Guy. Have you considered said Guy isn't bad actually. I have zero proof of this (as of when he says this) but like What If

He's a teacher's pet! See Yi City. Subtle snarking at Jin Ling for not being Enough of a teacher's pet as well

Local Boy has apparently spent his childhood learning to translate Hanguang-Jun in intersect diplomatic situations, see with JC on Dafan Mountain

There's like... this very strong feeling of... is condescending the right word?? With how he interacts with Jin Ling specifically. This is probably because Jin Ling is the most developed character who we see him interact with consistently that's not a senior, but it's still fun to me. Possibility: not WWX's kid as in WWX raised him, WWX's kid as in 'I do know best actually', just subtler about it

He's a troublemaker! A subtle one but still. He's not just dedicatedly following the rules, he picks and chooses. Actually, I'd say it's Jingyi who's very specific about the Lan Clan Rules, not him

Anyway. People who write the Juniors as having an easy fun friendship or as their only conflict being the affects of the war are fine *however* I am looking at this and going well this could conflict with Jin Ling (angry in a way Sizhui sees as immature in addition to being younger than him, hates being looked down upon or manipulated, responds to that via anger, and also happens to have most new connections he makes over the course of the novel be dependent on him looking at the two guys who, unintentionally or otherwise, got his parents killed, and go 'nvm we're chill') in a fun way

🌺🌺Happy mother's day🌺🌺

Whenever I try to imagine relationship between adult Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng, it's always JC going "boo-hoo, now that he's all grown up, he will fly away from the nest and forget all about me and leave my old bones to rot as things should be" and JL going "FINALLY. FINALLY IT'S MY TURN TO FUSS OVER YOU".

Something like this:

JL: When was the last time you touched grass? No. No, look me in the eyes. Answer the question. When was. The last time. You touched grass? Okay, I'm staying here and I'm not going anywhere until you touch grass. Go on, do it. No. No, don't you dare! Come on. Just a little bit, it's okay. There you go! Wasn't so bad, was it? --------------------------- JC (staying in the distance, holding hands to his mouth and shouting): IS IT ENOUGH BASKING IN THE SUN????? JL (watching him from afar, also holding hands to his mouth and shouting): FORTY SECONS DOESN'T COUNT AS 'BASKING IN THE SUN'!!! JC: FUCK!!! ---------------------------

(Jiang Cheng and Jing Ling are enjoying dinner in silence, when suddenly--) JL: Name three good things that happened to you recently. JC: *grumbles* JL: Come on. JC: Uhh..... Okay, I..... Uuuuuuugh... I saw a cute dog yersteday! JL: Oh, that's a good one. I'll count this for two. JC: Aaaand I just named a good thing that counts for two? JL: That's two plus zero. Think harder, uncle.

--------------------------- JC: Sometimes I wish you flew away from the nest and left my old bones to rot. JL: You should have thought about it before taking care of me.

---------------------------

JL: From now on you will sleep at least six hours per night. JC: No. JL: It's either that or hugging Wei Wuxian next time you see him. JC: Six hours is good, I can do that. (Jiang Cheng turns Lotus Pier upside down to find a rat who keeps reporting to Jin Ling about his sleep schedule. He can't find that person. Of course he can't! They are ALL rats!)
