Teen jc's biggest fears - 'pick me girl' A-Xian & WangXian shenanigans! π°π°
To understand Jiang Cheng is to understand that he's not the golden child or the scapegoat
Wei Wuxian is both of those
Wei Wuxian is Jiang Fengmian's Golden Child and Madame Yu's Scapegoat
But to both of them Jiang Cheng is simply the Failure
He isn't the son that his father wanted and he's not the son that his mother wanted
He can not live up to either of their wishes or desires because of who he is inherently. He is not charming or naturally exceptionally talented
He is smart and capable but he's not smart and capable enough for them
He puts in pure graft and commitment and gets only looked over or told how little it matters
It's not that he's to blame for anyone else's failures, it's that his accomplishments are meaningless and forgettable just like he is
And if you can't be loved for who you are a part of you wants to be hated because at least that means someone gives a damn
You wear your anger on your skin because it does hurt so much when you are rejected and it makes it harder to forget you
And god how badly you wish to at least be remembered
And you love your sibling who is both on a pedestal but being flogged for the honor
And you want to help and protect them but you also resent them
And they also resent you. At least a little
Because you have time without eyes on you
Time without constant scrutiny over your every action
Which is why the thing that holds the siblings together is the only parent they ever knew who truly loved them unconditionally: Jiang Yanli
Who of course was smothered under that love
the sounds of flute in the night
she knows
I think the greatest testament to how much wangxian is That Bitchβ’ is that in almost any other fandom, the main ship would absolutely be more often disregarded or at least made into a "he has two hands" when faced with the utterly poetic and heartbreaking and BEAUTIFUL relationship between Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian, from the way they were immediately enamoured with each other upon first meeting to the way they both betrayed their own clans to protect the other to Wei Wuxian LITERALLY REWRITING THE LAWS OF NATURE TO SAVE WEN NING AND MAKING HIM INTO SOMETHING NEVER BEFORE SEEN-
They both saved and ruined each other. And yet never once does Wei Wuxian fear what his friend has become or regret saving him, never once does Wen Ning blame him or fear the fact his friend can turn him into a puppet with a mere whistle.
Their bond and trust in each other is unbreakable, their relationship is woven into the fabric of the entire story, in many ways they have defined each other's identity...
Bow down to our esteemed Hanguang-jun cuz in any other fandom, when faced against THAT, AO3 would be like "uuummm Lan Whoji?
Dragon Rider WWX who flirts with MM playfully just to his dragon LWJ drop his big head on top of him
LWJ does that everytime he is jealous or annoyed making WWX carry his head who is almost his height, just so he can have WWX's attention
Inappropriate use of curse technique
Lan Xichen: Uncle, you seem almost...wistful lately.
Lan Qiren: It's nothing very important. I've received some insight that has reminded me of the happier moments of my youth.
Lan Xichen: Oh? May I ask what caused this?
Lan Qiren: As you're not doubt aware, Wei Wuxian harbors so level of affection for Wangji.
Lan Xichen: Yes. Although I must admit I thought that would aggravate you.
Lan Qiren: It did. It still does to an extent. But a few days ago, I witnessed that horrible boy walk into a wall because he was looking at Wangji and not where he was walking. It reminded me of how Wei Changze acted when he first fell in love with Cangse Sanren.
Lan Xichen: Really?
Lan Qiren: Yes. In short, the guest students this year show promise, the weather has been mild, and a Wei is pathetically in love. So I'm feeling a little nostalgic
