I just saw a post in my dash that said that the reason for a majority of the problems in canon, is miscommunication between JC and WWX. Apparently, JC sits on his feelings and WWX is always running from his problems. And that if he just talked with JC everything would have been fine between them. That they were both egotistical and selfish. You know. Wei Wuxian. Running from his problems. Selfish.
I just.
You come into my home. You insult my morally upright fave.
How dare you.
Selfish? I am sorry, which part of ripped out his golden core through surgery of constant pain for two nights and a day was SELFISH?
Talked with JC? What the fuck was there to talk about? JC wasn't LWJ. He didn't give a fuck about WWX using Demonic Cultivation, even if it adversely affected him. His issue was with him not adhering to the social convention of cultivators carrying their swords and wasn't helping with YunmengJiang. Never mind the fact that his contribution to the war was the reason YunmengJiang got as huge a share of war spoils as the other clans, even though the disciples weren't as many. Never mind the fact that despite its almost total annihilation of the members, No one dared to dispute YunmengJiang's position as one of the four major clans because of Wei Wuxian's presence. Never mind the fact that disciples flocked to the Jiang sect because of him.
JC knew what there was to know. He knew Wen Qing and Wen Ning practically committed treason against Wen Ruohan and risked their lives when they saved and sheltered him. He knew that Wei Wuxian gave up something enormously precious - in that context, a boon from an Immortal - to give him his golden core back. Was that not enough for him to have the slightest bit of compassion? No fuck compassion, duty? Responsibility? He'd be dead, and YunmengJiang would have gone forever without them. What more does he need to know? Don't turn his apathy and refusal to acknowledge what others do for him to MisCoMmUnIcAtIoN.
Don't act like lack of communication is why JC and WWX's relationship fell out. WWX chose to do the right thing, and JC chose to turn his back on the life debts he owed. He either deliberately or intentionally caused a divide between the cultivation clans and WWX through lies (He tells WWX no one will speak for him, even when LWJ, LXC, LQY did. He tells the world that WWX is the enemy of the cultivation world when WWX proposed only to secede.).
For heaven's sake. This isn't some 'sibling drama' that can be fixed with a fight. It is the fact that JC genuinely treated WWX as a subordinate whose only purpose was serving him and fuck what he wanted. It is the fact that WWX was practically groomed to be a shield for JC. This is a legitimate, serious difference in their values and viewpoints, that would always inevitably lead to a clash. Because JC cannot imagine helping someone unrelated for no reason unless it was for the credit that came with it. However, WWX simply, unabashedly seeks to help. JC can't understand this logic, so he thinks it's a hero complex and a desire for prestige.
Miscommunication. Don't make me laugh.
