A Comprehensive List of Jin Ling’s Many Uncles

- an indulgent headcanon extrapolated from canon. It’s fiction but we’re still doing some media analysis.

- Jin Ling’s POV

- Canon-compliant

- accidentally deleted the original post, so reposting again

Mo Xuanyu: crazy queer uncle. You’re disgusted and confused by him and you also want to protect him. He bows too low to you.

Wei Wuxian: that other crazy queer uncle. Life coach. Believes wholeheartedly in learning via Direct Experiences. Will be disappointed in you to hear you didn’t get into a fight in boarding school. Somehow imparting a lesson on how to be a good person while stealing peaches with you at midnight. You’re sure enough of his love that you know you’re not gonna die when he tosses you head first into a hoard of angry ghosts.

Jiang Cheng: crazy angry uncle. Dad. High expectations. Really wants you to do well in swordsmanship. Got you a tutor to teach you how to shoot when you’ve turned out to obviously be better at that. Loud murder thunder on the outside, soft loving rain platter on the side. You’re sure enough of his love that you can scream back just as loudly when you two argue about what future path to take.

Jin Guangyao: crazy evil uncle. Mom. No expenses spared since you obviously deserve the best. Gave you a puppy you didn’t think you needed. Smells soft and nice and likes it very much when you hug him out of the blue. Tucks you behind him and plays the calm placater when your other uncle come storming in demanding how you’ve managed to blew up some horror death tomb the other day. You’re sure enough of his love that the possibility your lord-uncle may dispose his heir-nephew never even crossed your mind.

Lan Wangji: uncle by marriage. Apparently. You have no idea how to interact with him except to sit next to him in silent support as Wei Wuxian flounces around in dramatics around you at a bunch of low level resentful spirits. He gives you a silver nugget when he gets up.

Lan Xichen: uncle by... Not marriage apparently. For some reason you’re more scared of him than your Jiujiu. You tone down your voice by 50% when he’s around. Recommended some really good tutors to homeschool you. Always passes you an extra sweet when xiao-Shushu pretends he’s not looking. Taught you breathing exercises and the language of flowers. He’s always at your house and you don’t know how to feel about that.

Wen Ning: uncle by... friend osmosis? Idk you hang out with Lan Sizhui too much and apparently mi uncle es su uncle. You’re still very conflicted about him but he once rescued you and four other juniors from a lightning snake monster by running four miles really fast and carrying all of you in his arms. Apparently it was nothing. You are now marginally less conflicted. You suspect it’s the osmosis thing again.

Nie Mingjue: uncle by sworn brotherhood? Once gave you a really rough head pat when you were a baby. He had really large and warm hands. You don’t remember much else.

Nie Huaisang: uncle by sworn brotherhood’s brotherhood? You avoid him when you’re a child because you’re a bit vain and you don’t like his type of frivolity. He sends you presents on your birthday. You avoid him when you’re a young adult because if you ever see him you will probably rip his face off with your bare hands. He sends you inter-sect business letters.
