ghost

another interesting tidbit of narration in mdzs. what makes it so fun is that it’s presented as omniscient narration fact, but it’s obviously positioned unfavorably toward jiang cheng. and as we keep reading, we can see how wei wuxian specifically would hold this opinion of jc—jc doesn’t want to break rules in cloud recesses, he doesn’t want to resist wen chao as a teenager, he doesn’t want to go against the cultivation clans after the war.

but the thing is, barely adult jc, alone, traumatized, inexperienced, was one of the renowned leaders of the sunshot campaign, when they were at a distinct disadvantage. he diverted the attention of the wen soldiers to save wwx, knowing he would get captured. he never stopped looking for wwx during his 3 months in the burial mounds, even after everyone else except for lwj had given up. he rebuilt lotus pier from nothing. he steps into guanyin temple at the end knowing very little of the situation inside to protect jin ling, and it’s clear that he couldn’t have won that fight alone. again and again, he has proven that when it’s time to fight, he will risk everything and give it his all even when victory is unlikely.

Another for @grubus 's fic Shen Yuan of No Relation... this fic slays

Suicidal (fruity) bastards who will do anything to protect their loved ones but think they are unlovable and that no one cares about them
