A Blessing and A Curse

So I have recently read a A Blessing and A Curse by @Hogwarts_Riddle on Ao3 and have fallen in love with the fic, so here is some fan art because I weak for pastel!JC and this fanfic!

“WOW Jiang Cheng that was not very Jiang Clan of you!!! We are ALL ABOUT attempting the impossible!” says the man who was so slow to start opposing the Wen clan that Jin Guangshan gave the okay to deploy troops before he did.

I can’t believe that “I must admit my defeat against such a power move” isn’t a response to a tumblr post but instead a completely serious line of dialogue during a one on one showdown

The Untamed as text posts (63/?) the edition in which i’m not implying that jiang cheng is a peasant, but instead implying that he would rather die than participate in wei wuxian’s love affairs

THIS !!!!! OH MY GOD THIS THIS THIS !!!

jiang cheng did not kill wei wuxian. like that is a pretty significant thing that did not happen but for some reason people keep stating as fact. and also quite significantly the reason he did not kill him is because he loves him.

jiang cheng's hatred towards wei wuxian is a defense mechanism born from his trauma and anger and fear of abandonment. his hatred is a construct designed to minimise emotional pain. his hatred only exists because it's trying to cancel out the love in order to protect him from rejection and abandonment and the extreme emotional pain that comes with them. there's actually a psychological term for this coping mechanism: it's called splitting. it's a distorted way of thinking that is black and white in nature and often caused by trauma. it means you are unable to hold opposing thoughts and feelings and you see people as either all good or all bad. jiang cheng is incapable of seeing any grey area so he does a very extreme swing from love to hate because he simply cannot process the complexity of his own polarising emotions. he cannot reconcile his love for wei wuxian with the pain wei wuxian has (unintentionally) caused him. he does all of this unconsciously too because splitting is not a conscious decision you make. he does not even realise it's happening.

for years it keeps all those messy and complex and painful feelings jiang cheng has for wei wuxian at bay. splitting is inherently self-destructive but it is considered a coping mechanism for a reason. for a long time it's the only thing that allows jiang cheng to keep going. it isn't until guanyin temple that all those complex emotions that the hastily put together hatred has been trying so hard to cover up come spilling out and jiang cheng starts to acknowledge them. the love and the loss and those gutwrenching feelings of abandonment and rejection and not being good enough. and he says desperately "shouldn't i hate you? can't i hate you?" because he wants so very much to hate him but he's now realising that he never has. because the hate was always just a mask for love and all its painful and contradictory complexities. the fact that acknowledging all of those feelings has him emotionally ruined and sobbing on the temple floor is exactly why the splitting happened in the first place. this is the pain and loss that he was unconsciously trying to protect himself from.

Sims 4 JC is something

dick grayson, wei wuxian, & dean winchester are all the same to me and their counterparts are jason todd, jiang cheng, & sam winchester.

older brothers raised as soldiers and take the brunt of the emotional anger of their dads (father figure in wwx case) who are forced to self sacrifice for the sake of the whole who go out on their own after a breaking point.

younger brothers who are deeply loved by their dads but the dads in question are kind of mid and emotionally constipated so they view their dads betraying them at every turn and it results in extreme suffering on both ends.

just thinking about the Jiujiu & Jin Ling to Jiang Jun & Yanqing pipeline
