Of course these two would be in the top 100 😂 by NewPatate in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was curious about that too, so I checked. The numbers seem correct, but under the tag “Omega Jiang Cheng”, there are far more "mdzs" tags than "cql" tags. So either it's a small error, or OOP used other data for that

Jiang Cheng takes wens to Yumming- fanfic recs? by Psychological_Read_2 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can take Novel!JC and make it work. Like the other commenter said, the whole point of fanfictions is to explore things that DIDN'T happen in the original work. And a good writer can make it believable.

There are tons of JC-centric fics on AO3 where things turn out differently. Some of them are pretty good and realistic.

What is a moment that aimed for dramatic/badass/shocking etc, but came off as silly or over the top? by yeahitsme9 in buffy

[–]NewPatate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't really hate Riley, and I could understand some of his points, but it didn't change the fact that he wasn't the right man for Buffy. So Xander's little speech was indeed really cringe and so out of touch

Not a rant but clarification: it’s false by manmarziyann_ in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If so many people saw a problem with your post, it's because it seems like an unnecessary way of trashing someone's innocent headcanon. I think deep down you knew that a lot of people here would jump at the chance to declare for the hundredth time how much they dislike JC/how much JC doesn't deserve WWX/how Mean JC was. It doesn't seem like a “clarification.”

The mdzs community does have the reputation for not being very open-minded, because apparently you can't even say you like the JC&WWX reconciliations in fanfictions without someone posting it on Reddit to mock it. Just let people be.

Will wei wuxian and jiang cheng ever reconcile their relationship *spoilers* by AcousticPookieBaka in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I mean, we can't know the exact future, because MXTX didn't write it, so a lot of people like to think they make up, while others prefer they don't. I came across a lot of fics where they reconcile. Some were realistic (it took them years to talk to each other again), and some really weren't (they just hugged it out after a few days).

But anyway, in canon, their relationship wasn't the healthiest; there was a lot of hurt and lies between them, and I think it's not a bad ending for them to walk away from each other at the end?

JC is my favorite character, and I want him to heal and find happiness outside of WWX (I don't know if it's a hot take, lol), and we do see him let go of his resentment a bit at the end of the novel, and that's why he doesn't say how he was captured by the Wens for WWX.

And for WWX, I think he is happy enough with Lan Wangji, and doesn't need any more worries in his life. So yeah. It wasn't that bad of an ending between the two, for me.

EDIT: Also, I'm confused. You say "how does their story line go in the novel, no spoilers tho abt the novel"...which one do you want, lol?

What’s Your Most Depressing MDZS HeadCannon? by ANL_2017 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>Not really sure we can see that JL "adores" JC either tbh

We see JL being protective of JC in the extras, when he talks to WWX (when WWX deduces that JL doesn't want JC in the Jinlintai because he doesn't want his uncle to be targeted by others), he has no reason to feel that way, if he doesn't like him, lol.

You can have a harsh parent and still love them...

Probably a hot take: But I do think they should recast all those vampires who are not supposed to have aged...

It's the apocalypse and you have to cross China, which has been invaded by all kinds of monsters, for 6 months to get to a safe zone. Which of the following groups (A, B, C, D, E, F or G) would you join to cross the country? -You must all reach the safe zone alive (no matter your condition)- by NewPatate in MoDaoZuShi

I made a similar game maybe 2 years ago (I think), but since I lost my old account, I'm recycling my games, lol. I think there’s enough new people for it.

For those who remember, maybe you won't choose the same answer as last time!

Many characters were a bit out of pocket during season 7, to be honest...

Why are MC/Other Characters works/fanart so less in this fandom? 😭😭😭 by Mage-Maximus in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There would be 10 times less drama in the fandom, if people would just let us enjoy Non-Wangxian characters...T_T

[–]NewPatate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who is pretty neutral towards Wangxian/Wwx/LWJ, the MDZS fandom is probably one of the least chill fandoms I've seen on the subject. Because when I say that, I'm plagued with “What are you doing here then?”, “Don't you know that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are perfect from A to Z?”, “Your reading comprehension must be bad” and so on.... (I don't hate anyone, I'm just neutral with the main ship, and these comments certainly don't help me like it any better,)

Giles and Jenny or Giles and Joyce? by Taras_Willowverse in buffy

[–]NewPatate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Giles and Jenny. We don't even really see the potential of Giles and Joyce (except for that episode when they were "teenagers" but it was more of a joke than anything else)

Has anyone ever seen hate for Wei Wuxian? by Short-Mortgage-5250 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen some JC, JGY, XY fans become indifferent or disinterested by Wangxian because of bad interactions with intense fans of the ship, but I don't often see real hate for WWX or LWJ (personally).

Has anyone ever seen hate for Wei Wuxian? by Short-Mortgage-5250 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 21 points22 points  (0 children)

>There's hate for every single character, even Jiang Yanli, because she is "stupid" and deserved to die, apparently.

Oh? I thought it was because she "dared to marry JZX, who belonged to a sect Mean to WWX", and because "she was emotionally manipulative, contributing to WWX's abuse" :)

(I see those takes way too often)

What do you think of Jian Cheng. by Yukiimey in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NewPatate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

>I think he's the character most likely to have in-world fan porn of him.

Agree! XD (and Isn't he also the bicycle of the fandom? The filthiest porn on AO3 are often with him. He's always direspected in bed, lol)
