“You don’t understand Jiang Cheng lost his parents and was in a war of course he’s sad and flawed! Why does no one understand his pain?”
Literally every other character in MDZS who’s an orphan and went through the same war:
#mdzs#ngl the amount of posts I see#which treat JC’s orphan status#like some unique thing#as if 90% of the cast isnt orphans#is really something#also apparently no one was traumatized in the war but JC#or no one was AS traumatized as JC#because he is the most unique special person apparently#stans act like JC is the most traumatized character in the story#when the reality is that JC is actually the one who complains the most#a-Qing had it tougher then him. what did she do? not whine and complain how hard her life is#even in death couldn’t keep her down#while JC is yelling how hard his life was because Jiang Yanli died#in front of her orphan son#the thing is that Jiang Cheng desperately wants to be special#without doing any work to BE special#does he work on the Jiang Motto? no he complains how WWX is better at it and does nothing himself#does he stand against corruption or be a force for good?#no he can’t even tell Jin Guangshan off and instead agreed to get WWX ‘in line’#does he try to be brave? well he lead away the Wen soldiers once#and then slapped WWX in the face#literally twice#because he doesn’t actually believe in sacrificing to help others without personal gain#does he work on his social skills? lol. lmao even#does he break the cycle of abuse? no he slaps his nephew around and tells him how worthless he is and threatens to break his legs#and the child in question is so traumatized that he can’t handle positive affirmations and hugs anymore#and almost dies multiple times to prove himself#and even runs away because he is afraid his uncle will really break his legs#the reason why is JC is a ‘loser’ is because he truly acts like one and even a decade of WWX being dead wasn’t enough for JC to grow up
