Wangxian brainrot of the day...

After being reminded that when I go swimming my purt little butt pokes out the water and look like two juicy grapefruit floating in the pool, I suddenly thought about what a magnificent site WWX swimming in the ponds and rivers around Lotus Pier must have looked like.

It's a good job Teenji didn't go to LP back then, he'd have probably exploded from sheer horniness at the sight of Teenxian's round, ample ass cheeks sticking out above the waterline as he swims along. LWJ refusing to take some of his layers off even though it's the middle of the sweltering summer, thankful his many robes hide his shameless arousal at such a titillating scene.

finally in the process of reading the Guanyin Temple scene and holy shit if WWX isn't the protagonist of all time. We're in the Big Final Confrontation and so far my man has done fuck all except cuddle in LWJ's lap while everyone else is losing their shit and when he DOES finally do something he summons an army of naked, writhing, moaning sex corpses that even his allies just desperately wish Were Not There. stupendous, no notes

post canon

[aurorablackwei]

I read something here and was the best solution to canon JC and fandom JC, just tagged correctly, like ooc, is not difficult. I mean, these is old fashion?

There exist a lot of fics with these tag in other fandoms, and is a good tag, when yout favourite character acts different just tag ooc. Out of characther.

Like a Drarry fan for the last 14 years, really is not that difficult, I love Draco, but normally he is ooc in some good fics.

I really hate Severus Snape, but in a lot of ff I received the advertisement. If is Severitus or OOC Snape or Bashing Snape. If not, he is Canon Snape.

Just tag, your fandom JC is OOC and is ok, but just stop the hate when someone say something canon about him?

I like JC, but the little jelaous shit he is. Is a good antagonist and great character, but the fanon JC is so weak and boredom.

Just like fanon JGY, really, you just have this great villain, who is weak but silver tongue, and just become him in a good person? Some of you read the extras with JGY and XY?????

Just use the tag.

The trouble with the mdzs fandom tags on this webbed site is that to scroll through them or to follow them is a lot like dumpster diving. some people's trash is others people's treasure etc etc. but the thing is.... there's sooooo much stuff that it's impossible to block all the unwanted stuff from getting onto your blog.

I used to be deeply meh about jiang cheng. But just scrolling the tags and trying to reblog nice art and some fun takes has radicalized me. I've had the jiang cheng tag blocked forever. He's always been the one who dragged in the worst opinions and most extreme takes on both sides. But it's just impossible to escape him seeping into the other tags.

Ive seen about ten odd hot takes about him just tonight that forced me to once again think of him.

So while we're here, I'm going to add to the pile of opinions. This isn't well thought out criticism or analysis, just some ramblings about the most polarizing character I've literally ever seen in my 16 years in fandom. This is obviously about novel Jiang Cheng, never watched the show, don't care to.

The thing about jc that I'm always surprised by is how much people care about the guy. Don't get me wrong, he's an absolutely fascinating character and kudos to mxtx for always adding the most layers to her character building. But he's just a really fucking unlikeable guy almost objectively. Most people are straight up scared of him or find him unpleasant to deal with. The only major positive interactions we really ever see are with jiang yanli, jin ling and wwx. And the wwx ones are always riddled with sharp words and unpleasant language although half joking in places(certainly not fully joking with the amount of insecurities the guy is riddled with). Just an all round piece of work.

And the thing is, there wasnt a moment in the book that i sat and thought about how bad he has it, because EVERYONE that came out of that situation had it fucking bad. And if we're gonna play the trauma-lympics, he really isn't even in the top three. So, at the end of it, when I joined fandom, I was really just struck by the no. of people who could spend all their time either hating him or loving him. I'm just intrigued by what makes jiang cheng so particularly polarizing.

But at the end of the day I'm no one to yuck someone else's yum in fandom. Toxic men with mommy issues have been a staple of fictional obsessions forever and it'll continue that way. I do wish people would tag better and that the fandom would embrace the ooc tag, but that ship was burnt before it ever set sail. So, I guess I'll just keep playing dodge and blocking people for as long as i'm still here.

god, manic-pixie-dreamgirl wei ying who can't sit still for a second is really gonna be my villain origin story. I hate him more than i hate chief cultivator lan wangji who can't talk, and i hate that lwj a LOT. fandom has wholeheartedly embraced these two characterisations to the degree that 9 out of ten fics use them and it's literally impossible to filter that shit out!

Hey so your girlfriend got put into a fandom and um, they kinda. Yeah they made her the Mean Lesbian Friend. Yeah it's entirely because she's the only girl who's not overtly caring or kind. Sorry. Also they-- yeah she's characterized entirely as a wingman for the popular gay ship. Sorry again

[softichill]

"This is so me lol" "I do this" this is a complaint post. This is a post complaining about when this happens. This post is about the constant 1-dimensional characterization that happens to women characters in fandom when they are not cute or nice. The last part especially is complaining about how once these women are made Mean Lesbians they are characterized entirely though their "endearingly rude" support of a relationship between two men.

Jin Ling tried to sneak out during a night hunt. Sadly, he wasn't quiet enough.
