Jin Guangyao: I’m a terrible person.

Jiang Cheng:Yeah.

Jiang Cheng: honestly I think that’s why we get along so well.

Jin Guangyao: I’m not a good person.

Jiang Cheng: me neither.

Jiang Cheng: I mean I’m not going to punch people on the face without a reason

Jiang Cheng: but I won’t go out of my way to make them feel good either.

Jin Guangyao: I get that.

Jiang Cheng: You have a visit.

Jin Guangyao: who is it?

Jiang Cheng: Your husband.

Jin Guangyao: I don’t have a husband, call the police.

Xue Yang: Your future husband~

Jin Guangyao: I’ll call the police.

Jin Guangyao: Fitness tip, never stop pushing yourself. Some say 8 hours sleep is enough, why not 9? Why not 12? Strive for greatness.

Jiang Cheng: next time you are working out, do 15 push up instead of 10. Run ten miles instead of five, eat a whole cake instead of just a slice, burn your ex house down. You can do it, I believe in you.

Lan Xichen: there were so many mixed messages there, that I can't—

Wei Wuxian: My head hurts.

Jiang Cheng: that’s your brain trying to comprehend it’s own stupidity.

Wei Wuxian: why do you always have to attack me with words?!

Jiang Cheng: would you rather that I used rocks instead?

Jin Guangyao: Sect leader Jiang No—

Wei Wuxian: Jiang Cheng! Jin Ling is missing!

Jiang Cheng: what am I supposed to do about it? Do you think that me and Sect leader Jin arranged to microchip him in case he got lost or something?

Wei Wuxian: well, did you?

Jiang Cheng:

Jiang Cheng: of course I did.

Jiang Cheng: here wait a second, Jin Guangyao has the tracking thing.

Jin Guangyao: violence it’s never the answer.

Jiang Cheng: you are right.

Jiang Cheng: it’s a question.

Jiang Cheng: and the answer is yes.

*Playing house with Jin Ling*

Jin Guangyao: *holding a doll* I was thinking about going back to school and start a career!

Jiang Cheng: *holding a teddy bear* nonsense, you are staying at home and having my kids.

Nie Mingjue: What the fuck are you guys doing?

Jiang Cheng: playing systematic oppression.

Jin Guangyao: in your opinion, what’s the height of stupidity?

Jiang Cheng: *turning to Wei Wuxian* how tall are you?

Wei Wuxian: I wasn’t so drunk last night!

Jiang Cheng: You tried to flirt with Lan Wangji.

Wei Wuxian: What about it? He is my husband!

Jin Guangyao: you asked him if he was single

Nie Huisang: and you cried when he told you he wasn’t.

Wei Wuxian: Jiang Cheng isn’t answering his phone.

Jin Guangyao: I’ll call him.

Wei Wuxian: Lan Zhan and I have both tried to call him for an hour, what makes you think tha—

Jiang Cheng: *through the phone* Hello?

Jin Ling: Don’t kill me I have uncle’s.

Murder: do you really think that would stop me from killing you?

Jin Ling: That wasn’t a plea for mercy, it was a warning.

Murder: Wait what—

Jiang Cheng: *breaking the door with a kick*

Jin Guangyao: are you ready to die?

There’s something deeply wrong with mdzs fandom lately

I have the impression that many of you are losing the deep meaning of mdzs (and, yes, cql) in order to follow wholesome headcanons and fanon conceptions of characters.

Let me explain.

There’s a reason for all this hate against Wei Wuxian, wangxian, even the concept of “yep they’re all equally flawed” or “Wei Wuxian is morally grey” (and i would appreciated it if it was true, but it simply isn’t). The reason is to depict Jiang Cheng as a better person, belittling his mistakes or, at least, placing him (morally) on the same level of Wei Wuxian, through the protagonist bashing or wrong interpretations of his character.

It’s not that I hate Jiang Cheng so much I couldn’t stand a wholesome headcanon in which he’s a cute tsundere protective brother. I could *write* an entire Fanfiction in which he’s the best friend of Wei Wuxian, a supportive brother and so on. I don’t need you to point out, every two minutes, that the canon is different and Jiang Cheng would not behave like this in the novel.

the problem is: maybe, some of *you* need a reality check. Because when you write metas based on a completely errate vision of a cute, supportive, tsundere Jiang Cheng, when you talk about your headcanon like it was just canon “behind the scenes”, when, suddenly, people has to EXPLAIN that Wei Wuxian was morally right all along and the cultivation wold is corrupted (which is the meaning of the novel) like it was a hot take, when, also suddenly, you become the bad guy because you answer those delusions about Jiang Cheng pointing out the FACTS… Like it was morally wrong of you to talk about canon Jiang Cheng, well. There’s a problem.

I repeat. I don’t mind headcanons that are treated like headcanons.

I don’t mind even some critical view on the novel, or canon complaint. A sane “I’m sorry mxtx, I know that your values are these, but I have some other values and I think…” Which at least TAKE IN ACCOUNT what the writer want and this is positive.

What bothers me is that: lately, many of you don’t talk about actual mdzs, or even the drama. You talk about some other thing, a thing in which Wei Wuxian is morally grey (or a shit) and in which Jiang Cheng is a tsundere character. Even wangxian shippers, who are not Wei Wuxian haters, depict Jiang Cheng like he was well intentioned. And they act all offended when you say: no.

No, Jiang Cheng was not willing to help Wei Wuxian with the Wen remnants at all, it’s not like he had no money or something like that. He tried to kill Wen Ning. He led the siege against burial mounds.

No, the thing about Jiang Cheng torturing random people is not a rumor. He tortured Mo Xuanyu even if Zidian proved he was not Wei Wuxian. Jin Ling freed Mo Xuanyu because he knew that his uncle did to that people.

No, Jiang Cheng didn’t hug Jin Ling when no one was watching. Because it would have been ooc, and because it doesn’t make sense to Jin Ling character. Jin Ling struggles because he has no family figure to help him grew emotionally.

No, Lan Qiren would not like Jiang Cheng, they would not get along well just in name of their mutual hate for Wei Wuxian. Maybe Jiang Cheng stans are not ready to hear this, but there are things called values, that Lan Qiren has and of which Jiang Cheng lacks. Lan Qiren maybe cannot exactly love Wei Wuxian, but, for his righteousness, he would totally like him better than Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng doesn’t incarnate at all Lan Qiren’s values. Not all people are toxic and comfortable in bonding on the basis of hatred for someone else. Some people have moral standards.

These are all cold takes I actually read about mdzs world. And they’re really an absurdity, and the fact that you can’t even answer back with facts, like it was rude or something… These people even answer with other even more delusional and stupid headcanons, shitting on the novel like the metaphorical pigeon on the chessboard.

Maybe some of you brag about being woke, cultural relativity, open minded, social justice or something. Yet here you are, disrespecting an author and the values of her people, because (I repeat, I think it’s important because some of you can’t read properly) the fact it’s not that you’re CRITICAL of her thinking, which is a honest confrontation between two people (or two cultures). You’re not even acknowledging her values and her culture, you appropriate her work. You’re awful people and it’s not a surprise that you stan an awful person.

Buon anno, stronzi.

Once again, you can tell this is going to be a series because I keep re-using the background, whoops. Anyway, enjoy this XiCheng piece! :D
