"you can't ship those characters they tried to kill each other!" sounds like someone can't appreciate the inherent eroticism of violence ๐
this is literally what "mr. and mrs. smith" the movie is about. they try to kill each other for half the movie. it's sexy.

Anonymous asked:
What do you like about jc? Why he is your favorite?
Anon, this has been sitting in my inbox because I was afraid to open this can of worms. I've rotated this character nonstop for, like, the past three years. I got on Tumblr because of this character. I'm not even that wild about MDZS as a novel! I'm a SVSSS main! I don't know how I ended up here!
- He loves his nephew so much. I love what we get about Jiang Cheng's relationship with Jin Ling, who had what was probably an indescribably weird childhood, but who has never once thought to himself that his uncle didn't love him. Jin Ling is evidently spoiled and rude but also so genuinely courageous, forgiving, and loving in his horrible teenage way. I love these two and they love each other!
- He's dutiful. I think people sometimes think of duty as a burden, and obviously it can be, but I also think of it as an expression of care towards others. He sincerely cares about his responsibilities, which include all of the people who joined the Jiang sect to follow him.
- He's supremely competent. We see the poor guy fail a lot, but he restored a massacred sect to Great Sect status in 13-15 years with what seems like no familial support and no apparent close external connections. He must be really, really good at his job.
- He's such a bitch. He's here to make things hard and unpleasant on purpose! He's witty and will say the meanest possible thing he can think of in a fight! Just like his mother, he can sense your insecurities like a bloodhound and tear into them at will! I think this is a good and endearing quality (for a character, obviously).
- He is profoundly screwed by the narrative. Dude is, as @winepresswrath puts it, "ontologically cursed." He exists to fail. His creator made him the most determined little toaster and then put him in 1000 unwinnable situations. He is trapped in, like, a bespoke torment matrix, that he only really escapes at the end of canon (dignity in tatters but nephew in hand).
- Killer style in CQL and maybe also the donghua from what I've seen of the gifs? Fashionable king. Deeply uncool despite the drip, which endears him to me more.
- Wang Zhuocheng's crying face. Yes, it's that gif set again. It haunts my dreams.
yes to all of this!!! love him or hate him, what really draws me to him is a lot of his failings are very human qualities. i love wangxian, they're SO GOOD. they're /too/ good. but jiang cheng isn't. his feelings are hurt because of his parents being... well. both neglectful and overly attentive. he Knows it isn't wwx's fault but he's SO young, he can't help resent him a little for how he's treated, even though he loves his brother. he gets jealous and angry and hurt and doesn't know how to express his feelings except anger. he's never had to learn, having leaned on his more emotionally mature older siblings his whole life till all of a sudden he's on his own. so he still doesn't learn, cause now he has no time to do anything other than raise his baby nephew and raise his sect from the ground up. he tries so hard at everything. I wanna pick apart his brain. I wanna make him suffer (mostly via wangxian pda). I want him to get therapy. I have a lot of feelings about this angry purple man. I literally wrote an angsty fic to process them years ago and still feel the same.

once again thinking about how wei yingโs idea of a scandalous fantasy was taking a bath with lan zhan in their little cottage and he never, not even once, got to the actual undressing part before he woke up. he was over there likeย โwhat if lan zhan and iโฆโฆ h*ld h*ndsโ and meanwhile sixteen year old lan wangji was out there daydreaming about what locations inside his ancestral library would be optimal for ripping wei yingโs clothes off and bending him over a table

My sister got me to start watching that Love Between a Plant and Hot Topic Or Whatever the Title is cdrama on Netflix and while I have absolutely no emotional investment whatsoever in the romance, I have to admit that this show does scratch a very specific itch I didnโt realize I have, and that is watching a man powerful enough to kill gods being slowly and steadily driven to insanity by a series of small, mundane inconveniences
Who Rules The World Commentary
Several episodes into watching Who Rules The World I created myself a discord channel that is one long thread of my reactions. I didn't keep it up for every reaction and included references to other shows I have seen, but this post shall be a compilation of my favorite comments. There will be SPOILERS!
