Lwj Is Almost As Guilty For All The Things Jc Is Criticised For

lwj is almost as guilty for all the things jc is criticised for

Everyone is guilty for all the things Jiang Cheng is constantly criticized for. Torturing cultivators? Check. Not helping the Wen remnants? Check. Not standing by Wei Wuxian? Check. Shouting? Check. Lying? Check. Being an asshole at some point in their life? Absolutely check.

Everyone jokes around about the Lan’s Silencing Spell, including myself, but um, using your sect’s magical coercion spell to silence someone else’s voice multiple times is actually kind of fucked up? Nobody says anything about the Lans and Nies being equally, if not more so, complicit in what ends up happening with the Wens and Wei Wuxian, but it’s still Jiang Cheng who gets the most criticism, and I will never be okay with this.

Hell, Wei Wuxian himself committed pretty much all of these! As much as we love Wei Wuxian for his endlessly giving heart, we should keep in mind that he also didn’t do anything about the Wens until Wen Qing and Wen Ning were involved. That isn’t a criticism. That is just the nature of the society and culture that they live in, where blood feuds are a thing and wiping out a clan who killed your family is simply an equal and just exchange regardless of individual involvement. Wei Wuxian committed a massive cultural taboo for helping the Wen remnants. That isn’t to say he shouldn’t have helped, or that everyone isn’t complicit in the death of a bunch of villagers who were trying to move on, but that responsibility and criticism certainly shouldn’t only land squarely on Jiang Cheng’s shoulders.

Especially when Jiang Cheng was still little more than a child himself. The Jiang sect was completely wiped out. Jiang Cheng was barely holding onto any political power as it is. They were being intentionally left out of political meetings by the other three sects. They were extremely vulnerable to being swallowed up and becoming subsidiary to the Jin sect. Jiang Cheng had an immense responsibility to his people who walked with him through war when he had nothing to offer them at time other than his word, and part of that responsibility was to not go around pissing off your next door neighbors who had a hell of a lot more power than you do at the moment.

And amidst of all this, Jiang Cheng was being actively lied to the entire time! He couldn’t possibly have known that Wei Wuxian, his genius cultivator shixiong, no longer had a golden core, whose only option was now demonic cultivation and who was neck deep in a veritable thunderstorm of trauma and self-hatred. Especially when Wei Wuxian was constantly telling him he was fine. Especially when Wei Wuxian was doing everything he could to make sure Jiang Cheng could never know the truth. While I do think Jiang Cheng was wrong about what options were available to him, I personally think he was the least obligated out of everyone to help.

You know whose sects didn’t get wiped out? Who still had political power and was actually at the table when the remaining Wens and labor camps were being discussed? Who still had experienced disciples and opinionated elders? Who had at least much more experience navigating the complicated web of political manipulations than Jiang Cheng? The Lans. The Nies. Both equally capable of putting a stop to Jin Guangshan. Both equally responsible for the murders of a bunch of villagers. Both absolutely one hundred percent more obligated to do so and in a position where it was possible than Jiang Cheng was.

But sure, let’s freaking blame the traumatized teenager whose family and sect were slaughtered for not being able to help.

Quick rundown of the Jiangs being excluded from great sect stuff after the Sunshot campaign:

Exhibit A: no Jiang representation in the venerated triad. This is the only one I’m 100% certain is supported by the novel, but it makes up for it by being doubly insulting in the novel/donghua canon, because in that story, the Sunshot campaign was pretty much Jiang Cheng’s project. He was the one rallying the lesser clans to fight, he was the one who convinced the great clans to join the effort, and he led the battle. He had Lan Xichen’s support, but it was still his war. But even without all that, one, the Sunshot campaign wouldn’t have started if not for what happened at Lotus pier, and two, it wouldn’t have been won without Wei Wuxian, first disciple of the Jiang clan. And yet, the group of special sworn brothers who everyone will remember and respect, who represent a better post-Sunshot world has no one from the Jiang clan.

Exhibit B: maybe not as strong as the other evidence I’m pulling, but worth noting is him getting ignored when he speaks up at conferences. He did try to defend Wei Wuxian, Wen Qing, and Wen Ning! But everything he said was just brushed aside (and in some pretty weak and hypocritical ways I might add). I’m pretty sure that nothing he brings to the table is actually considered.

Exhibit C: in the one discussion we see about what to do with the Wen remnants after the Sunshot, Jiang Cheng isn’t even in the room. This is a matter that should be decided at some major conference, with input from every acknowledged sect, but it happens in basically a private conversation where Jin Guangshan tells Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue what he thinks should happen, the two of them make token efforts to uphold justice for the remnants, Jin Guangyao comes in halfway through to suggest Qiongqi pass as a location for a prison camp, and they all say okay and leave. No Jiang input in sight, even though again, this was the Jiangs’ fight.

Summary: Two years after the events of Guanyin temple, Jiang Cheng agrees it’s time to take a break from being a sect leader. Going on a night hunt seems like a good idea until it goes wrong. Severely injured, Jiang Cheng stumbles through snow and darkness to a small cabin. It might be fate that it’s the same cabin Lan Xichen chose for his secluded cultivation.Deep in the cold heart of the mountains, they both learn that healing physical injuries is easier than mending wounded hearts, but it can be done at the same time. They find out that by saving others you can save yourself.

Jiang Cheng has known all his life that things don’t last. Love, friendship, bonds all are temporary and so he finds comfort in his routine life circling between his work and a social life consisting of handful of friends.

But when he encounters a strange case and a stranger Lan Xichen after a fateful string of events, he is forced to reassess his values.

Chapter 3 is here…. And Lan Xichen is introduced. 😌

I find it really weird that "JC wanted WWX to be subordinate to him forever rather be of equal standing!" is viewed as some kind of slam dunk instead of like...how aristocracy works. LWJ is also subordinate to LXC. LXC mostly lets his little brother do whatever he wants but there was that time he oversaw LWJ getting whipped 33 times. That happened!

I shrug! As you said, it's not as though Xichen thinks that because Lan Wangji is brilliant and talented he should run off and found his own sect. Zixun is an miserable asshole who is deeply concerned with class and status but he doesn't seem to be planning on doing anything besides being Zixuan's subordinate forever. As far as I can tell "second in command to the leader of one of the five great sects" is a pretty important and high status job and it actually says a lot about their relationship that Wei Wuxian feels secure enough in his right to that position that it's something he can offer to Jiang Cheng as a kind of reassurance. They live in a hierarchical society, anyone who stays with Jiang Cheng is going to be his subordinate at least on paper, and it's not like he's a particularly demanding boss when it comes to Wei Wuxian specifically. Like:

I Find It Really Weird That "JC Wanted WWX To Be Subordinate To Him Forever Rather Be Of Equal Standing!"

He cares about how their relationship is publicly perceived. He is definitely aware of ways that the shift from "kids fucking around and finding out" to "leaders and last surviving remnants of their sect" has shifted the potential consequences of their dynamic. There are moments in MDZS and especially CQL where Wei Wuxian blowing him off hurts his feelings or makes him angry, but if Wei Wuxian had wanted to just spend his life fucking around in Yunmeng doing whatever I think it's pretty obvious that Jiang Cheng would have rolled his eyes but also rolled with it.
