Watching Coffee&Reactions’s take on the mdzs donghua. He has some Very Good Advice for Xue Yang’s love problems (and I can’t get enough of him pronouncing his name “shoe” XD)
“Xue, you could be better, c’mon. Ok? If you like someone, just say that. Don’t be evil. You idiot.”

Lan WangJi replied, "We will wait until we find them. After all, we do what we must." Wei Wuxian, "Just by using nets?" Lan XiChen, "That is right. Does the YunmengJiang Sect have other methods?" Wei Wuxian smiled but didn't respond. Of course, the YunmengJiang Sect used nets as well. But, because he was a good swimmer, he had always jumped into the river and dragged water ghouls out. However, this method was too dangerous; he definitely couldn't do it in front of the Lan Sect's people.
....I'm sorry, what

"Nie Mingjue would still have died young even if Jin Guangyao hadn't killed him" Not as in "So it's fine to kill him because people who won't live for much longer have obviously already forfeit their lives" (what) But as in "If you don't get that Nie Mingjue has had an inevitable young and violent death hanging over him since he was a young teenager and has embraced it you can't fully understand his character"

for anyone who criticizes jyl for bringing soup to yiling instead of like, money—
we should first ask: could jyl actually have given wwx money? she must have something, you say. the jins are rich! she could even give him some of her betrothal gifts.
but realistically jyl probably didn't have much money at all! let's think this through. not only did she not marry jzx yet at the time of her yiling visit, but (based on many, many imperial palace tv shows lol) all her worth would be in betrothal gifts of jewelry, fine clothing, or other misc items, which is 1) heavy and difficult to transport without notice, but that doesn't actually matter bc it's ultimately 2) disrespectful to sell and worse to have the gifter find out when they come by for tea and you begin chatting about the event in two days and they say oh where's that one-of-a-kind jade bracelet I gave you wouldn't it match the also one-of-a-kind silk garment that lady jin gave you sooo well oh you will look so lovely in it won't you wear it.
or worse, have it recognized in some random pawn shop on the street by someone who has never really liked you and WILL get you in deep shit for it.
does jyl have any money from the jiang side? well, jc has been busy at work rebuilding lotus pier and the clan since before wwx's defection, and even if he's not borrowing a shitton of money from the jins (which he almost certainly is), he definitely has the opposite of surplus funds. he's also busy organizing and buying gifts for the wedding too, making him go more in the red because you know the jins aren't going to want cheap-ass things even if you don't have money.
let's say jyl did get a significant bride price (aka given money money)—not only does that go to her family (jc), but it is given during the ceremony (which, again, hasn't happened yet). and, realistically, jc probably will have to use it to offset the costs of the above.
beyond that, let's just take this scene from a storytelling perspective. sometimes it is simply about the emotional resonance. the vibes. let's say jyl did have some funds to give wwx. but imagine if jyl was like here a-xian take all this money 😐 ok sure useful for some period. but is that the gift that wwx would want during the first time he's gotten to see her in months, and likely the last time he will see her in a long, long time (possibly years)? would that be impactful for the story?
meanwhile, the soup she brings represents her love. we hear in the extra, from wwx's own words, the care she put into selecting the ingredients, making sure the lotus root is fresh and perfectly ripe. it also takes hours for her to even make iirc. wwx derives so much comfort from it—that's why it comes up again and again. it is one of his first memories of feeling safe in lotus pier, of home. it provides wwx some semblance of normalcy. he hasn't had any this entire time, and is likely something he aches for whenever he's homesick or sad or questioning his choices. it is simply, given the circumstances, incredibly thoughtful. (and how meaningful was it to see wn treat it with such respect? seeing that is literally the moment in the chapter when wwx realizes—ah. the wens are people I cherish as well.)
and regarding jyl coming in her wedding dress—it is not for herself. it is for wwx. we saw how devastated wwx was just to even hear that jyl was getting married because he had to hear it from someone who wasn't jc or jyl. and to immediately then realize he cannot go? even more heartbreaking. and jyl, who clearly knows wwx extremely well, would know, without having to ask, how upset wwx would be to miss such a huge occasion in their lives that was previously a given. this is what she can do to offset that, even just a little. because jyl came in her dress, wwx gets to experience a piece of her wedding even though he cannot physically be there. not to be a 2000s mastercard ad, but there really are some things that money can't buy.
idk there's also some fist-shaking at the class discrepancy in the scene. and I get it. it sucks! her dress is certainly lavish, and the wens are farming on a corpse mountain and have only just started making a bit of money. yes, it's fine to think that if you were in the character's shoes, maybe you would've found it to be in poor taste—but the story isn't about you. it is about these characters, and what this scene means to them. and I'm of the camp that if there is no indication that wwx is upset by any of this, and in fact moved by it, there really isn't reason for the reader to be righteously indignant about these things on a character's behalf. that's just not the focus or the point of the scene.
plus, jyl is sharp. she is likely more aware of the discrepancy than most people think. she has also been shown in the text to not just be another sheltered, spoiled noble (re jzx soup incident). but if what you want is guilt from jyl—I personally think that guilt is performative, and accomplishes nothing. her guilt would've only made wwx unhappy. instead, here is an action that is meaningful and brings joy to wwx. to share her joy with him is not selfishness, nor is it some lack of awareness of their situation. if in this moment, she shows off her dress, if she revels in her joy, her happiness, it is for wwx, and wwx is incredibly moved by it.
and let's face it—wwx, of all people, would want to see jyl in a wedding dress that cost more than rebuilding lotus pier from the ground up. he wouldn't want anything less.

"Jiang Cheng would have been involved in the attack on the Burial Mounds even without the death of sister"
For context, this all takes place AFTER JZX was killed. From JC's pov that was all 100% WWX's fault (bear in mind, WWX does have some culpability with his death. He lost control because of his unrestrained resentment for JZX. Sooo).
Was JC not supposed to do anything? Just sit there and twiddle his thumbs? Object to the siege entirely, perhaps? How do you think that would have looked to the rest of the CW? It would have been very suspicious if he didn't take part in eliminating a potential threat to the CW. Especially when said threat was once a part of his sect and KILLED his brother in law. Wouldn't they think it is strange that he refused to take part and get revenge on behalf of his sister??
If he did object or refused to take part, the rest of the CW would have grown even more suspicious of him. And the Jiang sect would have had a huuuuuuge target on their backs next. Especially giving how power hungry the Jins were becoming.
It was a very difficult situation he was put in. Not one he could easily talk his way out of. We've seen him try to numerous times even before things escalated to vouch for WWX and even once for the Wen siblings. And we all saw how that went down. Do you seriously think he could talk his way out of this one? After a sect heir had been slaughtered by his former SiC? Come on now.
All of this is why we see JC desparing so much because he is watching his brother spiral and spiral, and all he can do is watch on helplessly, for it is beyond his power to save him.
WWX kept so much from JC. He sided with the sect that almost wiped out his own and then goes on to inadvertently kill his brother in law. How do you think that must have looked to JC? How JC must have felt?? Let's be real here and look at things from his pov. Because I feel as though some of yall are failing to do so.
To JC, WWX had become unhinged and out of control. But even after the death of JZX, JC still seemed to desperately hold onto hope for his brother. He exclaims when he's holding his dying sister in his arms, "I thought you said you could control it?!"
That says to me that JC had faith in his brother that he could fix all this up until JYL was caught up in it all.
If you look at things from JC's pov, you'll see how bad things looked for WWX. How culpable he appeared throughout it all. And when you take that into consideration and realise that JC doesn't have all the information we as the reader are privileged to have, we can easily see why he came to such a conclusion.
It was either WWX or the lives of hundreds in his sect. JC chose to protect the many. And that doesn't make him a terrible person. Nor does it make him a terrible brother. He did all he could for WWX. But to him, WWX had made his bed, and so he should lay in it.

Broken Roofs and Fixed Perspectives
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xue yang#xiao xingchen#Lots of cut content notes on this one. Lets all have a moment of silence for all the cut A-Qing's in each perspective.#particularly ripped and buff 'Daozhang Defender 'A-Qing (her perspective)#funny but poor layout#XY also had a red arrow pointed at him in his own POV that said 'just troubled' but it made the panel too cluttered.#He does see himself as troubled and uses that to justify his actions#but I also think there is room for him to not really know exactly how to feel about himself in this situation#Yi-city is such a fantastic tragedy for so many reasons and you will bear witness to me rambling about it in the tags as this arc continues#Helping a blind man fix a roof? A manipulative act of building trust or genuine display of wanting to collaberate?#XY and A-qing have experience of the cruelty of the world where as xxc has blind (haha) faith that kindness prevails#These three simultaneous know each other more than the other's think and *yet* completely miss the mark.#the stories they tell in the blizzard (and the reactions they have) so perfectly display who these characters are#Both xxc and xy tell stories about unfair cruelty. To xxc it is others who's suffering is highlighted. XY highlight's his own.#A-qing understands xue yang more that she wants to admit. She predicts the twists in xy's story and empathizes with the hurt and anger#A-qing is also taking advantage of xxc! She is also lying to survive!#Though shes mostly benign in her intentions. She really did vibe check the rank stank on XY's soul on the spot#Alas...no one listens to teen girls....

Found
Tumblr media
Requested by anonymous: Hello! I see the requests are open again!💘 I hope you don't mind one from me: How would Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan, Lan Xichen, Meng Yao, Wen Ning and Xiao Xingchen react to a woman being found running, injured and scared? Because it turns out that someone has sent assassins to the reader's family and the reader is the only one who manages to escape, but the assassins are still after her. What would they do? How would they help?😔😔😔
Pairing: the untamed boys x fem!reader
Warnings: blood, assassins
Wei Wuxian:
Tumblr media
he's just peacefully walking when he sees you
it's too late to move when he does, however
so you two collide quite painfully
he doesn't care much and instead asks if your okay
when you shake your head, he is also quick to worry
that's when he spots the blood that is splattered across your clothes
as well as the fresh cuts that lingered across your whole body
a sudden shout pulls both of you out of your thoughts
you hide behind Wuxian
he doesn't understand until he sees two men running towards the two of you
they're obviously assassins, their clothes say enough
so Wuxian pulls out his own sword while holding his other arm in front of you
maybe it's the fact that he's helping you or maybe just his aura, but you visibly relax
you aren't shaking much anymore, instead your just hidden now
although Wuxian can still hear he occasional sob or whimper from you
the two assassins are quickly disposed of by Wuxian
then he asks for more of an explanation
one your happy to give, telling him everything that came to mind as you retold what had happened
Wuxian takes you back to lotus pier so you're safe
and he'll surely help you find the actual culprit behind everything
Lan Zhan:
Tumblr media
the usual stroll with all the disciplines was quiet
a bit too quiet even
until you stumbled out of the bushes
your eyes are bloodshot from crying, your hair a mess from running through the branches and your clothes are covered in blood and mud
most disciplines step back so you don't dirty their white and blue clothes
only Lan Zhan steps forward
your quick to explain everything, words faster than Lan Zhan can process
he picks out the most important points of your story
which happen to be massacre and assassins
just as he figured it out, five men jump from out of the woods
their swords are drawn out
Lan Zhan orders the younger ones to take care of it
then he guides you away
you are worried for the younglings left behind to fight, Lan Zhan is not
he knows they'll take care of it
he goes to check on them once you're safe inside
takes care of you for a few months and teaches you to defend yourself
also makes sure that an investigation starts about the demise of your clan
Lan Xichen:
Tumblr media
you stumble to him around the time that he and Meng Yao are in hiding in the woods
you didn't know who either were, you only saw the house from afar
Xichen is kind enough to let you hide there from the assassins chasing you
they stick around for a few days, threatening him multiple times to tell them where you were
he always says the same
I don't know who you're looking for, but they're not here
stupidly enough, the assassins believe him after only 3 tries
you're just glad that they left
nonetheless, Xichen insists that you stay a bit longer
Meng Yao hasn't woken up yet and he's lonely
not that he says that to you, no
he just tells you that the assassins might still be near
which isn't a complete lie
Meng Yao:
Tumblr media
he doesn't usually involve himself in stuff that doesn't have a profit for him
he calculates everything that he does, to the finest details
It was a bit of a surprise when he catches you in the forest as your first meeting
you looked scared, terrified even
not of him, but rather of the men following you
three men, dressed in black
they scattered when one spotted Meng Yao
he was kind enough to bring you back to his place in the Nie palace
brews you some tea to calm you down and carefully listens to your story
he later brings it up to Nie Huaisang, who later says it to his elder brother
which is what Meng Yao wanted to begin with, but he didn't want to do so himself
you're welcomed with open arms by other clans, who all offer to rebuild your clan
Sending pupils your way once everything is in fact rebuild
you can't get your savior out of your mind, you owned him your life
so you granted him anything that he wanted, whenever
he gladly took the offer, but claimed that he didn't want too ask for to much
at the end of this whole ordeal, Meng Yao was glad that he sent those assassins your way
Wen Ning:
Tumblr media
he was practicing in the woods
he missed the target and was quite surprised when he heard a loud yelp
you came from the bushes, running through the river and one man followed
his arrow stuck in the stranger's shoulder
he doesn't really know what to do, freezing as you approached him
luckily for him, the other man doesn't continue after spotting him
you were quick to thank him for shooting the assassin behind you
to which Wen Ning shyly admitted that it wasn't intentional at all
you stare at him for a few seconds before bursting into giggles
he only looked down to the ground in embarrassment
but even with the embarrassment, he manages to stutter out that you should join him for dinner and get treated by his sister
you graciously accept his offer
his sister is very kind throughout the process of stitching and cleaning your wounds
all the while Wen Ning continues to stare your way
he wonders what happened to you
but he doesn't have to wonder for long as his sister asks
and you start to explain, the tears that started forming were clear to see
Wen Ning almost wanted to cry as well, the story sounded a bit too close to his own situation after all
which is why he convinces his sister to let you stay
before begging you to stay around with the promise that he'd take care of you
and that he does
Xiao Xingchen:
Tumblr media
the street was empty, which is why it was so obvious that something was wrong with you
you were running on the street, a panicked look on your face
you tripped not far from him, in arms reach and Xingchen looks at you
he wasn't sure what to do at first, his heart said yes but his head said to not involve himself
his heart won when he saw a few men approaching, dressed in black and clearly there to kill you
his sword was pulled as he stood before you, staring at the man with a glare
the fight doesn't take long, the men are dead after only 10 minutes
while Xingchen cleans his sword, you were quick to get up and thank him
he doesn't say much, instead he just shortly nods before walking away
not expecting you to follow him
you do though, asking him if it was okay to stay as you feared to be alone
he accept the offer or at least until you reached a clan that would protect you
which takes a few weeks and he hates to admit that he's grown attached to you
he hoped you'd stay by his side, but you chose not to
instead, you plan to rebuild your own clan
but you make sure to tell him that he's always welcome to visit
he never gets said opportunity

I am. Wildly uncomfortable with JGY gaslighting Qin Su in that one scene. Props to MXTX for writing it so well because I've read it countless times already but it always makes me sick
He goes through a cycle of psychological abuse strategies that range from "im the victim" to "you'll be the one everyone will point and laugh at"
Here are some examples:
"You're hurting me"
Jin Guangyao sighed. "A-Su, you're the one who told me to say those words, but when I say them, you refuse to believe me. That makes it really difficult for me."
"You're being ungrateful."
"I know I've treated you very well as a husband, so your behavior right now genuinely hurts me."
"It's not a big deal." And "It's all in your head"
"A-Su, weren't we doing just fine before you learned about this?" Jin Guangyao reasoned. "Today, the day you found out, is the only day you've felt such nausea, and it's only because the knowledge troubles you. Which goes to show that it doesn't really matter. It didn't substantially affect you in any other way. It's just your own mind causing you grief."
"You're exaggerating"
Jin Guangyao seemed tired. "A-Su, what are you thinking? A-Song was my son. What do you think I would do? You would rather trust someone who hides their head and tail, a letter of unknown origins, than me?"
"It's all in your head."
"Stop letting your mind run wild." Jin Guangyao pleaded. "Tell me, who did you see today? And who gave you this letter?"
"You're the one people will ostracize most"
"If that person can tell you, they can tell others. If they can write one letter, they can write a second, a third. What are you going to do? Let this be exposed? (...)"
"It was for your own good"
Jin Guangyao's eyes were filled with grief-stricken tenderness "A-Su, I really had no other choice. I wanted to lie to you for the rest of your life, to keep you in the dark, but that hope has been thoroughly dashed by the one who told you this today. You think me filthy, you think me disgusting, that's fine. But if this goes out - you are my wife, what would others say? What would they think of you?"

Jiang Cheng antis after the burning of Lotus Pier: hmm, well if MY parents and community were brutally slaughtered in front of me and I was traumatically thrust into a position of leadership of a devastated clan at like, 17, I would handle it super well?? and I definitely wouldn’t lash out at anyone (briefly) because I was angry and grieving, cause I’m not fucking abusive?? like sorry but some of us are built different 💅

happy international hot and spicy food day to wei wuxian
Tumblr media
(Image Description: The cover art for the extra episode Glutinous Rice Congee from the Chinese MDZS audio drama drawn in a cute simplistic comic style. There are two rows of tables with characters sat at it with Wei Wuxian in the bottom left hand corner. The character in the back row to the left is Lan Qiren. He is red in the face covering his mouth with red liquid around his fingers and his hand is slamming against the table holding a sign that reads zero in Hanzi (零). Lan Wangji is next to him in the back row in the middle. He is sipping on a bowl with a small amount of red liquid dripping over the top of the bowl, his eats are red and a bead of sweat is on his right cheek. He is gripping a sign that has the Hanzi for ten (拾). In the table in front of him has a plack with his name written on it like he's a judge in a contest. Next to him in the back row on the right end of the table is Jiang Cheng. He is looking at Lan Wangji to his left with a look of disbelief and much judgement (typical jc behaviour). He's holding a sign that says the Hanzi for the number three (叁). In the front row to the left is Lan Jingyi. His tongue is out and he is red in the face and on his ears. He is looking very worriedly at Lan Qiren. On the table in front of him is a bowl of red glutinous rice congee with a soup in the bowl and a little of the liquid has spilled onto the table. He has a name plack in front of him too and he's holding a sign that has the number one in Hanzi (壹) on it. Lan Sizhui is sat next to him in the front row to the right. He has a slight blush on his cheeks and ears. His mouth is open in an O shape and he's looking at Lan Qiren. On the table in front of him is a bowl of the glutinous rice congee and he has a name plack. He's holding a sign in his left hand with the number eight in Hanzi (捌) on it. Wei Wuxian is in the bottom left hand corner smiling with his eyes closed holding a big steaming pot of glutinous rice congee with cloth to act as oven gloves. Rising from the pot is a mist of red and little stars. He has a slight blush to his cheeks and he's wearing a pink-ish white bandana on his head. There is a little heart to the right of him <3)
