I saw a reel yesterday that was like "top 10 hikes in Canada" and they were, as predicted, 100% mountain hikes in Banff and Jasper National Parks (and not even hidden gems! The ones on tourist brochures!). Someone made a comment like "you need to see more of Canada" and the 🌟influencer🌟 replied that the rest of Canada wasn't worth visiting when there are views like that in Banff.
Anyway here's a phone photo from a hike I drove four hours round trip to do in a part of Canada that "isn't worth visiting" ��
I could have sworn you had a post about how wealthy the Jiang clan was after the war.
I remember them getting a lot of the spoils of war afterwards, but forgot which chapter or chapters mention it.
I don’t think I’ve ever personally made this argument, though I know a few of my mutuals like @jiangwanyinscatmom probably have some years back that I reblogged once upon a time. I no longer believe in it as a piece of textual evidence (as opposed to, say, a logical assumption based off the commonly understood context of “to the winners go the spoils” and also that the clans would obviously take back at least their stolen wealth), because I don’t think there’s a place where this is explicitly stated in the text. What we do get directly from the text is that 1) Lotus Pier was never destroyed and thus did not need to be rebuilt, 2) Jiang Cheng is no longer frantically recruiting disciples like during the war because (partly due to Wei Wuxian’s popularity) the sect had gotten an influx of disciples, and 3) the Jiang sect remained an untouchable sect entirely due to Wei Wuxian’s existence as a loyal one-man army, necessitating the splintering of his relationship with Jiang Cheng by the Jin in order to undermine the Jiang’s power amongst the other clans. Whether or not they were oh so wealthy immediately post-war, where that wealth came from, or if that “wealth” even translated into real power (seeing as, again, Wei Wuxian was the surviving sect’s backbone) is not explicitly stated, but they are, in fact, wealthy enough that 13 years later Jiang Cheng has remodeled the whole of Lotus Pier to imitate the Jin’s display of wealth despite the original place being perfectly habitable.

Edinburgh. 1829. The medical curiosity of the western world has taken hold of the city, with doctors-to-be travelling from as far as America to study at the prestigious university. However, budding young surgeons can be impatient, and with the Anatomy Act still a few years off, the medical schools are only granted one body per year on which to conduct their studies. Enter Cillian Hayes, an ambitious student with lofty expectations, Adelaide Farris, a young woman finding herself at the helm of her deceased father’s candle making business, and Jules Green, the unfortunate soul who seems to have found himself at the wrong end of the gravedigger’s shovel. Mort Safe is a show about grief, resilience, medical ethics & agency, and relationships forged by the strangest of circumstances.
