Mianmian - Tumblr Posts

I love Mianmian because that girl looked at that fucking mess and went "Fuck this shit I'm out" and found herself some normal fucking guy who supports his cool wife in being cool

Which is why she's the only woman to survive the narrative

She deserves her normal ass husband who applauds enthusiastically when she does a cool trick and holds their daughter so she can see how cool her mom is

Another Yiling Matriarch!JYL/ChengXian ABO AU

.

.

The canonical events leading up to the Burning of Lotus Pier are the same except ChengXian (alpha!JC x omega!WWX) are a relatively established couple, and alpha!JYL is pushed to take more interest in cultivation b/c it's unbecoming of someone of her dynamic to not be of higher cultivation level. 

JYL is present during the Burning of Lotus Pier versus being in Meishan at the time and is forced to escape alongside her brothers at the insistence of YZY. 

WWX still sacrifices his golden core for JC b/c, like in canon, WWX (and now JYL) left him to gather supplies in an alleyway, but he noticed that Wen disciples were hot on one of their trails and became a diversion.

Again, like in canon, it's WWX who finds him in the remains of the Lotus Pier, and the Wen siblings still cover for them during their brief stay, but this time, WWX convinces JC  to take his golden core rather than lying to him. This means WWX remains at JC's side even after his core's been taken out b/c it's not a secret, and JC's well aware that WQ's the one who performed the surgery.

Meanwhile, by the time JYL finds out her brothers have both disappeared, she's captured by WC and has her core melted by WZL before being tossed into the Burial Mounds.

She miraculously survives just as WWX had, but like him, she's warped mentally and becomes vengeful. The resentful energy has brought out her mother's traits in her, and they're not the best.

Post-core transplant, ChengXian search for their sister but come up short and are soon found by LXC, who takes them to the Cloud Recesses.

While JC's out on the battlefield during the Sunshot Campaign, WWX's doing what JYL had done in canon, tending to the needs of the soldiers recovering.

And then, of course, Yiling Matriarch!JYL swoops in and turns the tide of war so that it's in the allied sects' favor w/ her undead troops.

Only a few months into the war, ChengXian marry b/c their mortality has been shoved in their face this whole time, and they don't want to wait ‘til a battle takes JC away before they can officially be together. The result of this is a pregnant WWX, who gives birth to Jiang Lianqi (江莲祺) and Jiang Lianzhen (江莲祯), twin girls.

To make this a long story short, the Wen remnants still end up on the Burial Mounds under JYL's protection, and JYL retaliates against a major offense from the LLJ Sect by summoning corpses at a banquet that she didn't realize her family was attending, resulting in the twin girls' deaths and a severely-injured WWX, who contracts corpse poisoning that leaves him sickly even after it was purged from his body w/ great effort on JC's part.

The Siege of the Burial Mound occurs, and 13 years later, JYL returns in the body of MM.

Afterthoughts:

Instead of WQ, it's WN who comes to Yunmeng and asks WWX for help, but WWX can't do anything by himself to that degree, and so he pleads with his husband to help the Wen siblings. Unfortunately, JC gets too caught up in the political side of things, and it's JYL who actually gets the Wen remnants out of their situation. She wasn't helped by them personally, but after hearing about how they helped her brothers, she can't not be grateful.

WQ becomes JYL’s Ghost General.

A-Yuan ends up in the care of ChengXian after the siege, and while at first WWX thought JC was trying to replace their dead daughters, he grew to love AY as his own son. Unfortunately, the cultivation world likes to remind AY that he's not his parents' child but a no-name orphan they took in.

At the end of this AU, WWX reveals he's become pregnant again, and JC's scared he'll lose WWX in the process. (The first pregnancy left him extremely weak, and he wasn't as sickly then.) However, WWX just squeezes his hand and gives him a meaningful look.

Nobody knows about the core transplant beyond the Wen siblings and ChengXian themselves. 

If anyone asks about WWX’s lack of spiritual energy, they’ll say WWX lost his core to WZL in the Burning of Lotus Pier. 

JC swears that he’ll protect WWX w/ the core he’s been given. 

WWX often mercy killed JC's prisoners that he captured, interrogated, and tortured for being (alleged) demonic cultivators and potential vessels for JYL's return.

He’d give them a pill of poison that would lead to a slow but painless death, and more often than not, JC would assume they died from their injuries. 

JZX is...somewhere in this AU. He’s probably banished from his sect after he tried to protect JYL and becomes a well-known rogue cultivator, awaiting the return of the Yiling Matriarch. 

Oh my gosh they’re going to sacrifice this girl

Never mind they’re trying to brand her face

Oh, that’s how he got the scar

​fighting a crazy lady who likes to brand people

You know what, good for Mianmian.

Drop those losers, they don’t deserve you

Poor little Mianmian, who knows what she may have seen

lan wangji, Jin zixuan, and mianmian are a surprisingly common trio in fics and honestly it’s genius it’s just the hottest girl in the room and her two sheltered rich kid loser boy vibe friends who terrorize each other the first chance they get

She was Awesome, and she obviously had great taste in men.

It just occurred to me that from the mediocre world’s POV, MianMian is a Witcher who married her bard.

This dude was like “fuck my shitty retail job I’m gonna follow this immortal magical mercenary around and mind the kids while she battles evil.”

@wuxiaphoenix

Is there any deeper meaning to Lan Wangji stealing the fragrance pouch Mian Mian gave to Wei Wuxian?

Well, yes.

He's jealous of that Mianmian hussy and wants Wei Wuxian to marry him and not her.

Hahahahaha!

Ahem. Let me explain. Flower or fragrant pouches are one among the 12 proposal gifts of ancient China.

Here it is, number 7 among the 12.

The meaning behind the flower satchel is 寄情寄思 (lit. to entrust my love and longing). So a woman giving a man a flower satchel she made in ancient times means, 'Marry me, dude!' And if a man asks for a satchel made by the woman's own hands, it means he's saying, 'You so hot, baby! Marry me!'

The flower/fragrance satchels as a token of great love and promise are most known through two separate legends:

1.Yang Guifei and Emperor Tang Xuanzhong. In which, after Yang Guifei died during wartime, only her flower satchel was reclaimed. The rest of her body was reduced to shattered bones. When he was given this satchel, Emperor Tang Xuanzhong cried and kept it in his sleeves for the rest of his life. This legend was made into a poem 太真香囊子 (The Pouch is steeped in Fragrance) by the poet Zhang Hu.

2. The Book of Jin Jia Wu recorded Jia Chong's youngest daughter Jia Wu falling in love with his lowly aide Han Shou. To discreetly confess her love, Jia Wu made a satchel and gifted it to Han Shou. When Jia Wu detected the familiar scent of his daughter's fragrance recipe on Han Shou's body, he immediately cottoned onto their feelings. Luckily for the pair, Jia Chong was a considerably open-minded man for the time, so he blessed their love despite the gap in social stations and allowed the two to wed.

So Wei Wuxian asking Mianmian for a fragrance sachet is tantamount to asking her to marry him in the eyes of many, and at least very, very flirtatious. That's why Mianmian reacted the way she did.

And this was in front of Lan Wangji.... Imagine how Lan Wangji felt. So it wasn't without reason (other than the fact Lan Wangji was at a very low point in his life then) that Lan Wangji reacted like he did.

So Lan Wangji stealing WWX's fragrance pouch and keeping it on his body for decades after is equivalent to saying, 'You will not marry her. You will marry me!' without actually saying it.

That is to say, Hanguang Jun might not look like it, but he would fit right at home in one of those scandalous, overly dramatic telenovelas where the love rivals duke it out by bitchslapping each other. You just need to speak his language (of actions) to see this.

I told my cousin to make a ship. And she shipped Lan zhan with mianmian😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

And no SHE is not Wei wuxian 😅

And she shipped jgy with jyl ( da drama of the Jin sect)

My favourite genre of art is Mian Mian being done with everyone's shit.
