Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.
@bonsaibovine being absolutely correct in the tags
Legit. Ask me anything you want to know about my fics.
THIRD PLACE ROUND - Jiang Cheng vs Wen Kexing
The battle for third place is between Jiang Cheng (shixiong: Wei Wuxian) from Mo Dao Zu Shi and Wen Kexing (shixiong: Zhou Zishu) from Word of Honor
Who is the Ultimate Shixiongfucker out of...
Jiang Cheng (Mo Dao Zu Shi)
Wen Kexing (Word of Honor)
Propaganda under the cut
Listen. LISTEN. The question before us is not which of these men manages to fuck shixiong. The question is which of them is the ultimate shixiongfucker.
Ignoring for the moment that the wenzhou shixiong/shidi relationship was invented solely for the drama and is not present in Faraway Wanderers — even within the Word of Honor universe alone, Wen Kexing's desire to fuck Zhou Zishu has nothing to do with him being shixiong. He is, bless his heart, captivated by Ah Xu's feral hobo funk and swagless demeanor right from the start, determined to annoy that man into bed no matter how many UTIs it gets him. We salute his tenacity, but this man is a shixiongfucker only by happy accident.
Jiang Cheng though. Oh Jiang Cheng. Was ever a man more psychologically twisted up about his shixiong?
He wanted to be him, he wanted to best him, he couldn't stand him, he couldn't bear to be parted from him, daddy loved him more and mommy couldn't stand him, he gave himself up to keep him safe and never said a word, he defended him to the world and watched him pull away into his demons and begged him to just please stay by his side, his sister called him didi and then he killed her, the world praises him for killing him when he never ever did, they were best friends and brothers and mortal enemies and then nothing because shixiong was dead, and then he WASN'T but it didn't fix anything because sometimes the past breaks with so many shattered edges it's impossible to mend. Their entire tragedy of a relationship hinges on the ways their shixiong/shidi relationship is fragile and tenuous and can never find balance against the wider context of their lives, the thing they cling tightest even when it hurts them most.
Actually getting their dicks involved would quite frankly be less intensely homoerotic than everything else about those two; Jiang Cheng is a shixiongfucker to the core.

If you want to be a dog, first you must learn to wait. You must wait all day until somebody returns, and if somebody returns late, you must learn to wait until then.
Then you must learn to speak in one of the voices available to you, high and light or mellow thick and low or middle-range and terse. Whichever voice you learn to speak, you will meet somebody who does not like you because of it, they will be wary or annoyed or you will remind them of something or someone else.
Once you have learned to speak you must learn not to speak unless you absolutely must, or to speak as much as you feel you must regardless of how many times you are told to stop, or sit, or placed behind a door—this will depend on what kind of a dog you want to be.
And indeed there are many kinds. It may not feel as though you get to choose, and that too is a kind of dog. Next you must learn to relinquish all control over everything you might wish to control.

ok but what if the reason SQQ-J and QQQ hate each other isn't anything about her thinking he's scum
what if part of being the four arts teacher of cqms means having to keep up with literary trends and teach/discuss the big novels of the year in class
so SQQ-J is just so pissed that he has to be asking students shit like "have you considered that [xian shu student's penname] might be using the green of [thinly veiled SQQ-J insert]'s hanfu as symbolism? If [thinly veiled SQQ-J insert*] is meant to represent [concept] while [thinly veiled LQG-insert] and [thinly veiled YQY insert] fight over him, what does that suggest they represent?"
meanwhile QQQ is annoyed either that her students are getting so much milage out of SQQ-J's bullshit for their stories that they spend more time writing than cultivating
or she's part of a long tradition of xian shu peak writing porn for porn's sake and would he just stop trying to make it literature already?
*No, that's not a mistake. This AU IS assuming that LMY and the rest of Xian Shu were absolutely already writing enemies to lovers and tsundere!SQQ-J thinly veiled RPF before Shen Yuan got there and Bingqiu made their sales skyrocket.
like brother, like sister
(just had a thought...if the genders were changed around...the Liu siblings would still probably be punchy gorillas hahaha)
Why did your parent(s) choose the name they gave you?
its actual meaning
named after a family member
named after someone famous
named after a character
liked the way it sounded
other reason in the tags
no idea
It's a good cause, a great cause even. But I need you to stop.

jiang cheng after purposefully getting himself blacklisted from matchmaking
jiang cheng antis always acting as if they'd do different in his shoes. as if losing your entire family, sect and home was just something you could brush off and get over. as if there wouldn't be an anger and a need for vengeance, that your entire bloodline wouldn't need avenging and more. they seem to struggle with humanising him and realising that all grief comes in different shapes. jiang cheng simply couldn't curl up in a ditch somewhere and accept his fate, he couldn't put himself in solitude and have someone else take charge — jiang cheng was the only one left to restore the yunmeng jiang sect, he was quite literally the surviving hope for his home and people. there's an immense sense of pressure on his shoulders, combined that with survivors guilt and then followed by the loss of jiang yanli and wei wuxian, jiang cheng really was going through the works.
I’ve been watching The Untamed and Jiang Cheng is my favorite… no one is surprised.
guy who spirals into alcoholic depression, violently breaks from his entire society, and spends two years manically inventing things in a cave then does a murder because his repressed hatred of his BIL is so pointlessly powerful even his murder zombie instinctively reacts to it: I am emotionally whole and dealing well with the consequences of my actions :)
fandom: yes :)
guy whose entire family died 48 hours ago and who made a decision he thought would lead to his death but it didn’t and he just learned that he’s permanently disabled: I wish I were dead :(
fandom: this weak-willed loser can’t handle shit ffs
okay so since nobody else jumped to make this, here we go
(there's a 'see results' option for those who did read svsss at the end of the poll btw!)
If you haven't read Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: which of these is FALSE?
character's dad is a fan of a famous porn ballad starring his son and son-in-law
a succubus fortune teller told MC at least 5 men are in love with him
MC told ML that if he was his mom, he would never abort him
having extremely bad sex was instrumental for saving the world
straight harem novel protagonist experienced a gay awakening
character played hot potato with his own half-naked corpse
character told his love interest to call him ‘daddy’. not for kinky reasons
3 different demons made one character drink their blood on 5 separate occasions
character who thinks ‘beat them up 3 times a day’ is flirting got his man
i have read scum villain / see results
(also i ask humbly to reblog if this poll caught your fancy. because most of my followers are from danmei fandoms and likely have read svsss)
I don't know if anyone is gonna check reblogs before voting but if you do: the false option is NOT 'incorrect only in the number'.
It's not like 'oh, actually a succubus fortune teller told MC at least 7 men are in love with him!' or 'actually 3 different demons made one character drink their blood on 4 separate occasions!'
The wrong option is more fundamentally wrong than that.
The bravest man in The Untamed is actually this guy right here casually rocking up to Jiang Cheng and poking him in the stab wound.
@winepresswrath so it’s not wwx they’re literally all like that. jc is the odd one in the clan
It kind of makes sense! Their motto is attempt the impossible. He is impossible; they attempt.
# i feel vindicated somehow # yunmeng jiang disciples at any given minute: # yeah that’s our cat we didn’t choose him he chose us # such is the way of cats: he’s ours forever now # he’s a total asshole! (said proudly) # he shredded your hand? yeah man he does that. dodge better. # git gud or get gutted as the poet says # he has a personal space bubble you hafta not violate # it’s between two and ten feet in radius. how do you know where in that range? # u gotta sense it. feel out the vibes. be ready to duck. # shit u didn’t sit in His Spot did you? ofc he’ll shred u if u sit in His Spot # we love him and he loves us. how do we know? # he fucking lives here he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t love us u moron # if anyone ever breaks and enters we know he’ll get em. better than any guard dog # don’t mind the static electricity it happens sometimes
Look, we are TOLD wwx superficially embodies Jiang traits more than jc, who is more like his Yu mom. We can extrapolate from here that jc is in charge of a whole sea of violet Wei Wuxians, including the trait of thinking that Jiang Cheng is the absolute bee’s knees.
I love this headcanon so much for both its hilarity and its hidden pathos. Because the Jiang clan were originally rangers. The Jiang clan’s motto is “Attempt the Impossible.” The Jiang clan values freedom of expression and individuality, and their disciples are known for their honest and unrestrained ways. So of course Jiang Fengmian was going to fawn over Wei Wuxian even if he hadn’t been the son of his two best friends. Of course the Jiang disciples are going to watch the clusterfuck that the Takedown of the Yiling Patriarch became and go “…Huh. DUDE! THIS MEANS OUR BRO WWX STILL LOVES US!” *chestbumps and smashes beer can on foreheads* Of course they are going to POKE THEIR NOTORIOUSLY SHORT TEMPERED CLAN LEADER IN THE STAB WOUND and be like “You’re wounded?? Are you okay?? Does this hurt??” Because the Jiang sect is comprised of a bunch of feral goblins who only learn etiquette so that they do not bring Dishonor™ upon their clan whenever they have to interact with the stuffier sects.
The thing is… would anyone described above be able to rebuild a clan from the ashes?
No. To rebuild a sect from the ashes requires diligence. It requires dogged determination as you slough through a million boring but important details. It requires gritting one’s teeth and doing LOADS AND LOADS of mind-numbing paperwork. It means minding your p’s and q’s among the other sects and being properly deferential without being a pushover. It requires setting and sticking to a budget. It means having to keep a billion random details in your head and not mixing them up so that you don’t accidentally use funds that you earmarked for the food budget to re-roof the mess hall.
It requires Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian might be brilliant, but he is also the poster boy for ADHD. He is a bona fide, easily bored ENxP. The typical Jiang disciple is great in a pinch and tide-turning in a campaign, but they are not steady, stop-dicking-around-in-the-lotus-pond-and-finish-building-that-deck, I-will-take-these-brain-meltingly-tedious-duties-and-make-them-my-BITCH type people.
But Jiang Cheng is.
Ironically, the aspects that made him a disappointment to his father feel that he was sub-par or lacking in fundamental Jianginess were exactly the aspects that enabled him to accomplish the impossible task of rebuilding his sect from the ground up while impossibly young, reeling from a devastating massacre, lacking guidance of any sect elders, and angrily grieving the withdrawal of his sect brother’s support.
Personally, I think this is EXACTLY why the other Jiang disciples love him. He takes care of ALL that boring/tedious/not-fun stuff and just yells simple orders at them! Add to that the fact that Clan Leader Jiang will use Zidian to rip out the intestines of anyone who dares insult you or the sect, and they’ll follow their beloved Grumpy Cat to the ends of the known universe and beyond!
