Good Morning, World.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #'Good Morning World' because to wwx the jiang household is what grounds him. It is his burrow and blanket.#The familiar soup and banter is his home. The familiar arguments and tension are also his home.#Notice how quickly he throws LWJ to the side once he has JC back in reach! 'He was so boring; I wish *you* were there!'#WWX is very quick to constantly remind himself that he fits within a very specific power structure and role.#He pushes boundaries but almost always only the boundaries that he knows he can push against.#Sitting here now and realizing that if WWX did take life more seriously and act more diligent he would totally usurp JC.#Because the contrast with Them (tm) is wwx is the one that gets in trouble and JC is the one that sticks to the rules.#That responsible appearance especially in contrast is the thin line that holds JC's self-esteem together.#And lets be fully honest. From JC's perspective the last week was also extremely intense and stressful.#It truly was a feat to travel so far so fast despite also being exhausted. Never knowing if it is all in vain.#JC said with his actions 'I would move mountains for you and dig through stone with my bare hands if it meant reaching you.'#and WWX said '[read]'#It's about wwx chronically asking 'why would someone care for me? I'm always tool to be used' than accepting that people love him.

I remember someone wrote a thing about how Wei Wuxian would make a terrible parent because “he laughed when A-Yuan was lost,” but would you look at this:

Turning around, though, he realized that Wen Yuan was gone. He almost turned pale, searching for the toddler all along the streets. Suddenly, he heard the wails of a child, and he immediately rushed over. Somewhere not far away, a group of nosey passerbys gathered into a bustling circle, pointing at something and chattering among themselves. He shoved through the crowds, and his eyes lit up at once.

—Chapt. 74: Distance, exr

It’s almost as if Wei Wuxian only laughs after he sees who A-Yuan is with, because he was relieved to find the toddler not only safe but safe with one of the few people he still trusts in the world to be unconditionally kind. However even then, he doesn’t let it go too far:

Wei WuXian had already laughed to his death, but as he saw how Wen Yuan was crying so hard that he was almost choking, he could only step out.

#human reads mdzs: take 2 #anything to paint unconditionally good wwx as a terrible person #this is almost as bad as the person who said wwx was abusing a-yuan #because he got mad once before immediately removing himself from the situation

not me re-reading the qiongqi path ambush and feeling a pang in my heart when jin zixun said that quote above, because it immediately reminded me of...

#it is genuinely interesting to analyze just how wwx internalizes the things said to him #like i was already obsessed with a bleeding and sick wwx worridly wiping lwjs clothes because ''he got him dirty again''#cause my god. my godddd this is SO not just about the clothes #BUT I HAD... I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT HOW OFTEN PPL STRAIGHT UP SAID TO HIS FACE #that anyone who associates with him will always be marred by a stain #and wwx really really really doesn't want lwj to be stained #anyways if u like this typo of angst. read yuwu LMAO #modao #lace speaks

seeing a post that has interesting canon analysis and wanting to reblog it until you get to the last paragraph and just

#fandom shenanigans #tumblrisms #actual about me #wank for ts #opinions for ts #kassie hush #mine: text #i am always here to talk about how MXTX Be Gendering Again in her novels #bc truly there is SO MUCH to talk about re: how she plays with gender & this usually applies to Wangxian Bingqiu & Hualian bc Main Ships #but it also happens with the supporting characters & relationships and i love love LOVE analysis of this shit #please do talk to me about how the relationship coding w/ jiang cheng & wei wuxian is more romantic than brotherly & jc gets the fem tropes #but that being said: it’s one thing to say that JIANG CHENG believes wei wuxian’s ‘blah blah blah duty & debt to the jiang clan’ nonsense #from guanyin temple…………but i deeply question the media literacy of any READERS who actually believe that story for themselves lmao #i also seriously question their read on wwx as a character when he spends the entire novel being an unreliable narrator abt his own feelings #but like okay cool we have fundamentally irreconcilable reads on both wwx & chengxian; you do you *thumbs up*

I love hensheng but telling people about its name must have been so awkward. Imagine if someone said "that's a cool sword. What is it called?" and JGY responded with "hating life". I mean, what would you even say to that?

#He was so emo for this #Xy too #Wwx at least had an excuse because suibian was an accident and not that concerning for strangers #I mean a sword should have a concerning name but it's not supposed to make you feel sorry for the owner right?#I desperately want to read the scene of JGY telling LXC and NMJ about what he's naming his sword #LXC is concerned about his mental health and NMJ thinks he's seeking pity #Also.#Immediately after winning the war and getting legitimized I don't think JGY would come up with that name #It's possible that he got it while he was a spy #But imagine if he named it “loving life” at first because hell yeah he just fulfilled his mother's dream #Or at least got close to doing to #But then JGS happened and suddently the name didn't feel suitable #So he renamed it #Or what if there was a ceremony where he was supposed to get his courtesy name and a sword #And was under the impression that he was going to be jin ziyao #He had a fancy poetic name for his sword but once he heard his new name he got overwhelmed by resentment #And said hensheng without considering what other people would think #Because I can't imagine JGS being thrilled about people thinking he was such a bad father that his bastard hated being recognized by him #And let's be honest JGY isn't very good at making snap decisions

Since teaching really does seem to be Lan Qiren’s passion I like to think about a modern Lan Qiren who is really good about pursuing possible diagnoses and treatment of learning/developmental disabilities of children entrusted to his care.

#i also like to headcanon him as dyslexic <3 #but like #Lan Qiren noticing his younger nephew is several months past when he should have started speaking and hasn’t said a word yet: Hmmm.#WAIT OMG…#LQR initially NOT knowing much about autism but reading everything he can on it bc he knows just enough to know that baby Wangji missing #developmental milestones is a sign that he might be autistic #and one very deep rabbit hole later LQR is up at like 4 am taking an online Am I Autistic quiz for himself #ANYWAY all of this is to say.#something like the cloud recesses summer school still happens in this modern setting #and when WWX gets returned to Jiang Fengmian lqr makes about five seconds of small talk before being like #Has. this child. ever been assessed for adhd. because.#I’m not a psychiatrist but oh my GOD he has it.

on the other hand when lwj is mischaracterized I just shake my head and click out. he's a toughie

#dgmw people are still racist and homophobic about him but he's also got a fairly straighforward thing going on and its hard to mess that up #also lwj may be MY guy but he's also sometimes hard to pin down so I accept a lot of readings for him #unless like I said. its racist or homophobic #and super ooc stuff is really obvious and that makes it funny #like the one where he secretly murdered all the wens in order to make wwx come back to CR with him. like #it's gone past disbelief and horror into pure comedy. in what UNIVERSE #ficblogging

However, what could Jin ZiXuan know about this? All he knew that he’d never felt so ashamed in his life. It was not only the first time he’d been refused by a maiden, but also the first time he’d invited a maiden and was refused. Anger rose from within him. A moment later, he laughed coldly, “Fine, then.”

Jiang YanLi, “I’m sorry.”

Jin ZiXuan’s voice was ice, “What should you be sorry for? You can think whatever you want to. I wasn’t the one who wanted to invite you anyways. It’s fine if you don’t want to.”

—Chapt. 70: Departure, exr

Tell me this isn’t a red flag.

She turned around to leave, alone and quiet. Jin ZiXuan stood still for a few moments, looking in another direction. Sometime later, he suddenly shouted, “Stop!”

However, Jiang YanLi didn’t turn around. Jin ZiXuan was even more enraged. He caught up to her in just three strides and was about to grab her hand when a shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

—Chapt. 70: Departure, exr

TELL ME THIS ISN’T A RED FLAG!!!!

#human reads mdzs: take 2 #a man who thinks he’s god’s gift to earth?#who expects everyone to fall over themselves for him?#who can’t tale rejection???#i won’t say anything about later jzx #but pre-marriage jzx is the guy you’d warn the women you know to stay away from #and it’s his terrible parents’ fault #this is what wwx meant when he said early jin ling inherited all his dad’s bad traits #THESE ones do not come from jc

Re-reading mdzs finally because I have enough brain space to focus on words and I reached the part where wwx finds out about the rabbits in Gusu and hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh //clutches my chest

#mdzs #god it's played off as a funny thing for wwx and it truly does amuse him #but as a person reading it the second time you come to realize what those rabbits probably meant to lwj #another trace of wwx that lwj gently cultivated and cared for because he couldn't let his memory die #and it was so personal to lwj specifically #it wasn't as if rabbits were anything but a passing joke to wwx #he'd found them trying to hunt pheasants and never brought them up again #but to lwj they were one of a precious few memories lwj was able to think back on fondly #an actual gift from wwx even if wwx did it in jest and with little thought #a moment where wwx said he wanted friendship #and lwj rebuffed him and bodily threw him out of the room #how much did that act haunt him later?#looking at those rabbits that wwx had offered in friendship and knowing he had pushed wwx away #and asking himself what might have gone differently if he had accepted wwx as a friend instead #wondering if instead of pushing him away so much he had chosen a friendship if that could have altered those moments in the future #where wwx didn't trust him #and pushed lwj away #even though wwx was deeply pained and losing himself #even though wwx needed help so desperately and lwj was willing to do anything to give it to him #yet wwx rejected him #and it all led to lwj leaving him #and then wwx going back to yiling alone #if instead he had agreed to go to gusu and be treated by lwj could lwj have saved him?#and it all circles back to this moment so long ago with a pair of rabbits and an offer of friendship #is it torture for lwj to see them and constantly remind himself of that moment #perhaps it is another way of him doing penance #and strengthening his own resolve to never push wwx away again should they ever be able to meet #and if they don't get to meet #then at least lwj will be made to remember and relive that memory #when wwx was vibrant and alive and not tainted by the twisted resentment of the undead or by the events that came later

4, 10, 26 for art asks!

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

You wouldn't be able to tell since I draw them so much as of late but arval........their honeycomb. plate. tabard . Thing. I vacillate wildly between being obsessed with it and loathing it depending on if I'm drawing it or not. Also what is going on on the back of their head? Their hair is so cubey I don't understand... And if it's epi then you've got the wing things which took me ages to figure out how they're shaped for some reason

Their design looks chefs kiss MWAH in game or in finished pieces but oh my goodness please help my doodling, cutting-corners hand

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

I'm a huge fan of crinkly clothes, cloth that comes to oddly sharp angles. Like where big poofy sleeves that are cuffed come to an end. Or where pants crinkle, at the knees and ankles. These bad boys

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

Hmm that's a difficult question because the stuff I draw is 90% of the time so Very straightforward funny fan art...

Oh but one time someone reblogged a MDZS post of mine and said in the tags that they didn't go there but thought it was funny, and the post is. This one. And you need SO MUCH context to get what the joke is like wow that is an entirely different joke.

#tia posts #tysm for the ask :D #...should i try to explain the joke even though its major spoilers and guaranteed to make it less funny #im gonna try. feel free to not read any of this #so that sword can only be drawn by the late enemy of the state wei wuxian (wwx). and ppl have been keeping an eye out for #him resurrecting himself‚ possessing ppl‚ etc. so when mo xuanyu draws the sword everyone goes 'alright wwx we know its you. die again'#and the thing is. theyre RIGHT. that *is* wwx and the sword *can* only be drawn by wwx.#its just that the 2nd guy to draw the sword‚ jiang cheng (jc)‚ is wwx's little brother that he loves SO much #and a long time ago jc lost his magic and was devastated so wwx gave his own magic to jc and told No One About It #not even jc (he said 'look ive found a way to get your magic back!! wdym youre worried im not using my magic anymore? dont worry abt it')#so the sword recognizes jc as wwx. and like. there are some incredibly smart ppl in the room who've figured out that that guy is wwx #AGES go. they *know* thats wwx. and they *know* the sword cant be drawn. so what is going ON #is jc possessed? are there two wwxs? wtf?? the smartest ppl doing their own grand schemes and theyre just dumbfounded. what do you do.#it also ruins both the 'thats wwx!' reveal AND the 'jcs magic was never recovered‚ hes just been going on his brothers sacrifice'#so thats the comic. ig its still funny if you read it like theyre just lying about who can draw the sword and who cant though

For the fanfic tropes... Cop falls in love with criminal or the hanahaki disease

D. Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.

#asks #cop falls in love with criminal is cool when it's not modern au #modern au is not really my thing #as i've already said #and hanahaki disease also casts unrequited love in a much more...tragic light than normal #which I know is the point of the trope!#but tbf most people have been in unrequited love and came through it just fine #also the plot tends to revolve around finding the true love before time runs out #often by the love interest #which is again the point of the trope but it's not for me ll #also I dislike it especially for mdzs when it's portrayed as oblivious wwx unnecessarily causing lwj to suffer #i did read one fic where wwx was the one with hanahaki as a result of a curse from a girl he flirted lightly with #and that was fun bc the point was to hide it from lwj lol #no crises rly #trope rating meme

sitting and thinking (in the context of my fic but also in general) about the things about jgy that lxc doesn’t know, but specifically those that wwx KNOWS but won’t tell him. because that would make him soft, and we don’t want that

#like this is so infuriating #in the novel... there literally is no last scar on wwx's forearm. there's no Imperative forcing him to solve the mystery Lest He Dies #and yet. and yet. the way lxc's reluctance to hop on the detective xianlock weimes train is almost framed as this... irritating obtuseness #and like i KNOW jgy did those things that lxc didn't want to believe he did. but wwx's approach is so impersonal sometimes #it Is just a mystery and uncovering it is fun for him. and i guess in a mystery novel it's also exciting for the detective to find all the #clues and exclaim that it was the butler that did it! but ignoring the circumstances that led the butler to do it to em is just Mean Okay #especially since we're holding in our hands a How Wei Wuxian Did It To Em: The Novel #that's the way it starts: wei wuxian the murderous yiling laozu! thank god he's dead! and then we find out that he wasn't an one-dimensional #villain! but while wwx can sort of say SAME HAT about the way jgy becomes the scapegoat in the span of like one day... as many people #before me said they have exactly zero feelings about each other. Nothing. and it's not a bad thing! it's interesting and ironic and makes #you lie down and go AAAAAA WHAT IF...!!!#but going back to lxc. he seems to know that jgy killed his father and that qin su was his sister but he wasn't at the lotus pier when the #cultivators talked about it and theorized about What Else he Definitely Did #wwx didn't tell him a thing about the brothel or meng shi's body. and i'm just very horizontal about it. i need to lie the fuck down #i still after 84 years have Not read the extras but like. is lxc sitting out there? wasting away? Uninformed? PROBABLY HE IS YEAH #because it's not like wwx cares particularly and at this point i think lwj would mentally spit if not piss on jgy's grave for hurting lxc #so they have zero business telling him stuff that might frame jgy in another more nuanced light. but also even if they did. then what?#hey this guy you were tricked into killing because you thought he didn't do murders but he did and it flipped your view of him upside down #so much that you believed that he genuinely would attack you? yeah about that we think he might have just wanted to get his mother's body #back. yeah from this temple where he essentially deified her. the temple he built where the brothel was. yeah they were treated horribly #out there and like i guess jgy wanted to make sure his mom would never have to suffer like that again or something. anyway thats all yea bye #i'm sad.#shut up shrimp

here’s my personal pipeline to c and cc dream stan

#lo's stuff #also this comes from that post about how ppl who haven't read/ watched mdsz/the untamed tend to think wwx is 2 diff ppl #one a himbo potato farmer and the necromantic evil guy #and then op said ''it's fine tho i support my son in his hobbies'' and my brain chemistry changed #bc that's the funniest fucking shit
