Absolutely fucking wild to me that in certain post canon fics authors will elevate one clan over the other. And I'm not talking about fics that are fun aus exploring different endings to MDZS, I'm talking about fics that directly bash Lotus Pier or the Cloud Recess in favor of saying that the other would protect Wei Wuxian from the big bad cultivation world.

Which doesn't make any sense because the entire POINT of the books (and cql, manhua, donghua, etc) is that the cultivation world is fucked up!! They all fucked up!! If your fav is someone who ISN'T Wei Wuxian the wen renments or mianmian then they are culpable to genocide, which (btw) is fine, you're allowed to have problematic favs but like. Girl what.

Idk it's just WILD to me when someone writes Lan Qiren as defensive of Wei Wuxian (less so when it's Jieng Cheng bc like. At least that makes KINDA sense) when these are characters who, as well as ideologically not even being in the same book as Wei Wuxian, literally labeled him as evil bc of #classism.

#i say this as someone who has a couple of fic recs with these tropes but like #its EXHAUSTING reading through terrible characterization when the only purpose is to bash another character #like just say you don't like jieng cheng (which is fine and valid) instead of putting your whole pussy into a fic that makes the lan clan #into saviors of the cultivation world #when they are literally The Problem #anyway tldr: the cloud recess SUCKS and i hate people who defend it #mdzs #cql #mdzs discourse #?#idk i feel like i need to tag this as negative or discourse so that ppl who don't want to read my mildly tipsy rants don't have to
