i'm losing my shit at this the delivery is absolutely flawless
I keep thinking about this moment. About how Jiang Cheng must’ve felt when Zidian - the weapon that had served him for so many years, the weapon he inherited after his mother - suddenly stopped listening to him. The moment when he no longer felt its power.
His expression here just breaks my heart. The way he looks at Zidian, trying to understand what happened, trying to process this emptiness that he suddenly feels.
Because back then, Jiang Cheng doesn’t know yet that others also have been affected. He can as well be the only one - what he does know though is this feeling. This lack of power, the sudden emptiness, he knows it. Because he’d experienced it before. He’d felt what is it like when your golden core is gone. And he’s never forgotten.
In that moment, in the midst of battle, he lost his spiritual power and his very first thought when he realizes that is simply: Again?
How often do you think this haunted his nightmares? This awful feeling of hopelessness, the fear of it repeating itself and rendering him useless? The very fact that he got a second chance was a miracle, something probably not supposed to happen. Maybe he already had wondered if he was living on borrowed time, because how could there not be a price?
There was, but he wasn’t the one to pay it. He just didn’t know that.
So right there, in that very moment he gets taken back to all those years ago, to the days when he lost everything and could only lay and look up at the ceiling, to a different time that yet is now so vivid in his mind - does he think that his fear has caught up with him at last?
And then he hears shouts along the battlefield - cultivator after cultivator stating that they cannot use their qi - and only then does he realize that although there is an emptiness, it is not as profound, not that bone-deep void that made him collapse in on himself.
It turns out right when they’re in the cave and medics state that everyone has lost their qi only temporarily - and of course their situation is still bad, because they are surrounded and stuck and the only people able to fight are Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, Wen Ning and a bunch of children - but Jiang Cheng is relieved. Because he’s been through worse.
While tomorrow is our beautiful festival about stabbing Caesar i’d like to remind my fellow tumblr users that today is:
I love him so much but sometimes he can be so fucking dumb
Huai Sang: Who is the both of us? Never heard of it.
one of the most important anime scenes of the 2000s
I just rewatched that scene in ep. 22 during the sunshot campaign when Nie Huisang stands on the ramparts of the Nie fortress enthusiastically waving goodbye to Wei Wuxian and telling him to take care as he’s heading off w/ Lan Wangji for the final battle in Nightless City.
I’ve seen posts debating what inscrutable logic took place in Huaisang’s complex genius brain that he chose resurrecting The Yiling Patriarch as his method of resolving his brother’s murder.
But, dude. Wei Wuxian was like his only friend. The guy who thought his bird was cool, and showed him how to fish, and got him drunk on a school night, and admired his porn collection.
I know we love to think of masterminds as coldly objective and detatched but I like to think it came down to a gentle, lonely, artistic, grieving Huaisang thinking, “If only my brilliant friend were here, everything could be okay again.”
