In the beginning you see Jiang Cheng hot on Jin Ling's heels all the time and having his people disguised as Jin disciples to keep an eye on his nephew and you think: what a control freak!
Then Jin Ling gets into mortal danger everytime he shows up on screen without an uncle and you realize that Jiang Cheng is, in fact, concerningly not enough of a control freak.
Local nephew so impulsive that even Wei Wuxian, king of impulsive himself, wants him to listen to his Jiujiu
[Lecture Days] Wei Wuxian: Look, Nie-xiong, it says “gullible” on the ceiling. Nie Huaisang: Nice try, Wei-xiong. I’m not falling for that one a fifth time. Wei Wuxian: I’m not kidding. Nie Huaisang: And I’m not looking. Jiang Cheng, walking into the room, looking up: Hey guys, why does it say “gullible” on the ceiling? Nie Huaisang, looking up: Really? Wher- oh, you bastards! Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng: *high five*
Forever having thoughts about Sect Leader Ouyang telling everyone that if even the kids are fighting they ought to be as well at the Second Siege of the Burial mounds. Because almost everyone agrees that, even without their spiritual energy they can’t leave the children to fight by themselves.
Lan Sizhui has to be at least 17, possibly 18, and most of the other juniors are a similar age with Jin Ling being on the younger end at 15. Everyone agrees that these are children (they’re right) and that they should be protecting them and preventing them fighting and running into danger, that their safety is a priority and they shouldn’t be involved with the adults’ conflicts.
And it’s just- Jiang Cheng was 17 when he became a wartime sect leader. Wei Wuxian was 17 when he was thrown into the burial mounds and became one of the most feared combatants of the Sunshot Campaign. Lan Xichen was 19 when he became Sect leader. Jin ZiXuan was maybe 18 when he was doing most of the actual frontline fighting for his sect.
I’m not sure how much that theme carried through for other clans but likely a considerable amount since the Wen’s had eradicated the leadership of many of the minor clans first.
But the Juniors are children and it’s the adults’ job to protect them. And the adults are there, they’re present and they are planning to leave the children the hell out of it because that’s an option now. These kids aren’t allowed in their war conferences- they’re only there for this as hostages because it’s a given that their parents would come and rescue them.
They’re only there for the rest of the plot because some of them keep running off and ignoring their families’ pleas to just stay within their line of sight and out of trouble. Many thoughts about how these people who led major military campaigns in their teens are now extremely protective of their own teenage children. Like the cultivation world fucked up on so many fronts but at least they seem to be doing something sort of right.
jiang cheng blaming wen ning for the fall of lotus pier and jin zixuan's death (something wen ning didn't want, consent to or had any agency in doing) vs wen ning yelling at jiang cheng for the golden core transfer (something jiang cheng didn't want, consent to or had any agency in doing) is peak actually. you take two sympathetic characters with insane amount of grief, trauma, guilt, blame and debt between them, and let them go ballistic on each other to avoid unpacking any of that. making each other worse just by appearing in the same sentence together. no political or social expectations getting in the way of their unbridled haterism either. lan wangji wishes he could join.
Can you imagine being Jin Ling and surrounded for years by rumours that your crazy uncle has a torture dungeon in memory of your other terrorist uncle and is the spiders georg of uncle torturedom (others include all stately and calm people with negative insanity) and then realising within half a year he is the sanest one because the rest of the list is just: murdered other uncle (cold blooded), murdered other uncle(accidental), murdered dad, slept with uncle who murdered dad, gave up his life to bring back terrorist uncle who murdered dad, and created an elaborate plan that nearly murdered him twice to murder at least one uncle who murdered other uncle whose head may or may not have been in your house. It actually might've been simpler if the torture dungeon or murdering terrorist uncle was the only problem but no. There is seriously something wrong in your household if the chillest guy is Jiang Cheng 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They straight up LIED to him about which uncle has the torture dungeon
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.
and that’s what i really enjoy about the narration style—it’s intentionally misleading the reader right from the start, and it’s not telling you that it’s coming from an unreliable narrator, but it shows you. and so many people just. insist on only reading what’s being told instead of seeing what’s shown.
saw this cute pic of a raven making a heart, had to draw crowxian
(also a little extra of crowxian getting some cute aggression and having to nom on his shidi)
their drinks look like them as characters in an obscure cartoon show
