For @mdzsnet ‘s Jin Zixuan and Jin Guangyao’s birthday event, I’m making Jin Guangyao roll up the stairs to wish his brother a happy birthday.
For the minific ask meme: Jiang Yanli and U. coming home.
So… I LOVE this prompt. Thank you !!! What i wanted to do with this took a few brain jumps. First, i wanted a story about soup and about Yanli feeling like her role is to use soup to stabilize everything and heal. Then, i thought about writing a dark Yanli that haunts JC -- but that’s so OOC I decided not to go there. Finally I settled on this. It has been in my head for over a month, trying to figure out how I want to write this. Thank you for your patience!

Zhongyuan Festival. Earth Offical’s Pardoning. The fifteenth day of the seventh month. On this day, the doors of the underworld opened and Jiang Yanli found herself walking hand-in-hand with her husband towards the world of the living.
They traveled first to Carp Tower. Zixuan wanted to unite with their son and his family before seeing A-Cheng. Their gossamer forms breezed over the tower stairs and into the main complex. The small lotus pond Zixuan had built for her was abandoned -- brown lotus stems and dried lily pads stuck out of drier ground.
Zixuan squeezed her hand and they headed towards his family’s Ancestral Hall. Jin Guangyao was in the midst of orchestrating a grand ceremony to honor the ancestral spirits. Jin Ling could not be found. Zixuan stepped before his still grieving mother, knelt, kowtowed thrice with tears in his eyes. He then stood up and tried to comfort her with intangible hands; they trailed over her shoulders and cupped around her face. Jiang Yanli bit her lip and looked away.
Together with you is my favorite place to be
For the tag game! :D
MDZS Q - Ep 5
Part 1 of 4. WWX’s Temperament Reversing Flute
The glomp at the end made me laugh so hard. I love this episode so much!
Ep 27 - I HATE YOU. Part 2 of ?
(Warning: More JZX drag)
Top images: How to defend someone you care about. LWJ stating he has never heard WWX say he doesn’t respect JC.
Bottom images: How not to defend someone you care about. Seriously. JZX. You can’t even defend LQY against sect leader Yao some stupid minor jin woman pointing fingers at her. I’m pretty appalled. Can we get some basic human decency there. Yao accused LQY of feeling “guilty” the jin woman proclaiming she’s ashamed to stand next to LQY. These people are smearing her good name and besmirching her honor. And you don’t even make a noise in her defense. Some friend you are. I wouldn’t want to be your friend. Pffffft.
(I admit he was in an awkward position -- he doesn’t want to cause issues with his dad or his sect -- but his inaction has caused enough harm i'm pointing it out because it needs to be yelled into the ether)

Ep 27 - I HATE YOU. Part 1 of ?
JZXuan needed to do more. Period. I feel like fandom lets him off pretty easily and it’s not ok. Jiang Yanli being awesome does not buy him a free pass.
Take this scene for example. Ep 27. Right after WWX takes the Wen Remnants to the Burial Mounds, JGS has a meeting to discuss how to deal with WWX.
You see LQY (mianmian), LWJ, and JC’s reactions at various points of this scene: all some sort of worry, concern, and disapproval. LQY has the look of someone seeing how low people can get and being disgusted. LWJ is positively fuming. JC is a complex mixture of fear, worry, concern, and shame.
And then we look at JZXuan. There is a subtlety to his blink that makes me think MAYBE he disapproved but he’s not going to say so in front of his dad. He makes me SO ANGRY throughout this scene. His voice is the one that MIGHT carry some WEIGHT here. His voice is the one that might HELP. He KNOWS the kind of person WWX is and he remains silent. Slap some backbone into the boy. Seriously. His sense of world order just pisses me off.
