Jiang Cheng loves Wei Wuxian in his own way. It's just that he also loves hard like his mother loved their family. I think what he is really angry at Wei Wuxian for is that WWX left him when WWX promised that they will always be together.
His anger towards Wei Wuxian, I believe, stems from the ache of abandonment, a breach of brotherly vows.
I just know that when amidst solitude, Jiang Cheng yearns for the rekindling of their sibling bond, but finds himself adrift in the wake of his brother's divergence onto a separate path away from him — leaving behind only loneliness and regret.

For those who make offering oils and such -
Would anyone be up to making me offering oil for Anubis and Apollo (two separate ones of course) and an offering jar thing (like has herbs and small rocks and such associated with each God) for each in exchange for art? (Example shown, it’s digital!) 👀
I specialize in realistic animals as I suck at humans lmfao. I wouldn’t really be able to pay for shipping as I can’t afford food rn but I do want to get these for them.
Art shown normally is like $80-100 so I do hope it’s a decent trade!! Feel free to PM me ❤️
(I’d also be happy to trade art for other things!! Like statues and such ❤️❤️)
The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process.

Chapter 17 of the Book of the Dead from the tomb of Nefertari. This chapter focuses on the healing and rebirth of the deceased, drawing parallels with Osiris resurrection, Horus' sight being restored after the loss of his eye, and peace being restored after Sekhmet's rampage. It perfectly demonstrates how Egyptian magic works. By referencing these three elements of myth, where Osiris, Horus and peace and order in the land are all restored, these texts gain the power to effect that same restoration of the deceased. Thus as the deceased is reborn to life in the next world, they are simultaneously healed (like Horus), reborn (like Osiris) and order is restored (as it was after Sekhemet's rampage).
It's really easy to consider the Egyptian myths as simply stories, but that overlooks the dynamic and active part that they play in magic. In many ways, they are a toolkit for the priests. By referencing them and weaving them together, they are able to confer the narratives onto the 'real' world and thereby control events - in this case, the rebirth of Nefertari after her death.
