[yu-ziyuan]

i fear that i may sometimes come off over here as if i hate wwx or lwj. and thats not the case i just feel that we KNOW what they did right & dont spend nearly enough time talking about what they did Wrong which is way funner and more interesting

i also fear i may come off as hating mxtx and i dont bc she gave us yanli and madam yu. i just wish they did more in the story

Don't let age stop you from being an uke. You are just as kawaii cute getting pounded at 50 as other ukes getting pounded at 17.

the thing about mxtx is that her novels have such fascinating themes about gender and gender performance, but at the same time she does not seem interested in writing women and her female characters rarely get narrative attention. the curse of doing gender analysis through BL novels.

but would jc have given up his core for wwx? I don't think so

Jiang Cheng loves Wei Wuxian just as much, but no I don't think he does. There are many reasons for this, but it basically boils down to JC having more faith in WWX's ability to take care of himself and also it just being a terrible plan? Like first of all we have to exist in CQL or at least a Comb frankencanon because I don't think Jiang Cheng is willing to let some random Wen dog he just met get her hands on his golden core. Even if he is in love with Wen Qing, he's a very cautious, risk adverse person who is not thrilled about experimental surgery with no clinical trials that the greatest doctor in the world thinks only has a 50% chance of working. THEN he would have to come up with some cover story as to how Wen Qing was able to restore WWX's core without letting him know about his brother's sacrifice, and Jiang Cheng doesn't have the Baoshan Sanren excuse. Even with as much faith JC had in WWX he was still skeptical about BSSR being able to restore his core, how the hell is he going to convince WWX that no, really, nothing shady here just trust him. Then he has to hide this somehow?? It's not like JC can play it off like oh he just doesn't feel like working, he's too dutiful for anyone to buy it. Like this just isn't going to work. Wei Wuxian only pulled it off as long as he did because he moved to the Burial Mounds and then died. This is a bad plan.

Aside from that, again Jiang Cheng believes in WWX, he didn't start doubting in canon until Zixuan died. WWX reacts differently to trauma than JC does, and while WWX can't play this one off no matter how much he determinedly talks about talismans, Jiang Cheng doesn't feel like he has the right to make choices for him to the same extent. WWX gets carefully swaddled in cotton and stashed in Meishan even if he's figuring out demon flutes but JC isn't going to consider noncon body modification as a reasonable solution.

Also it's a really fucking awful plan.

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

partly out of spite because of the dumb comment I got one time and partly out of Jiang Cheng-induced brain poisoning, I increasingly feel Jiang Cheng would have eventually pulled himself together and made a life for himself if he’d really lost his golden core

[ID: Sketch of Yue Qingyuan from Scum Villain. With his hands folded behind his back, he's smiling blankly and looking at a spinner wheel that's has one large section and one very thin slice. The arrow is mid-spin. Behind the wheel is a poster that labels it: Wheel Of How I Am Going To Feel Today. The key indicates the thin slice is "sliver of joy" and the large section making up most of the wheel is "wishing I was allowed to kill myself". /end ID]

don’t talk to ME about gay yearning. in 2020 during lockdown i lived alone on a boat for three months. i went ashore once a day to work in a marine bio lab. we all had to access the lab at different times so we were never together & risking infection. i was alone all day every day, from my boat to the lab and back to my boat. one day a woman anchored her boat beside mine. we passed each other ashore just once at the harbor and she hit on me and invited me back to her boat. i told her i’d love nothing more but i could not risk exposure because of my weak immune system. she said it was a shame but that she understood. that night i was watering my vegetable garden i grew in 5 gallon buckets up on my roof and playing music on my speaker. “american pie” came on and she climbed up on her roof and shouted all the lyrics to every verse at me across the water and we danced together on our respective roofs. she raised anchor and moved on a few days later.

so yeah i know what it is to die a thousand deaths in an instant while your heart beats on.
