reasons why i think the jiangs' animal forms should be snakes:
- snakes cool
- snakes pretty
- zidian on a snake. YES. LIGHTNING SNAKE AS A WHI.
- would allow jyl to cuddle foxxian with her whole body
- would allow jc to choke foxxian with his whole body

foxxian: u kinda look like a chew toy

snakecheng: and u kinda look like u have too much oxygen going to ur braincells

I just think it would be very sweet to see little foxxian trotting around lotus pier, his two siblings coiled loosely around him. jc surveys the area from between foxxian's ears as the two of them bicker about directions. jyl is all content and warm, resting on foxxian's bum.

jc learns how to effectively control foxxian's movements by shifting his weight or squeezing him, much like how one would control a horse. it is very funny to see foxxian charging across a field, with snakecheng wrapped around him, yelling at him to stop but clearly enjoying it.

foxxian is fast and nimble, but snakecheng has superior strike speed. they are a TERROR to go against for tag games. the last thing their victims hear are foxxian's scrabbling paws and "ehehehe" fox cackles before snakecheng strikes out and tags them.

winters in gusu are a PAIN for snakecheng. snakes don't do well in the cold. he has to continuously circulate his spiritual energy to keep warm.

foxxian's winter coat is thick does not radiate warmth, so unfortunately snakecheng cannot mope in his brother's fur.

foxxian: oh my gosh!! look at this snow!! and that snow!! the grass is crunchy!!

snakecheng, a literal freezing ball: i hate everything

foxxian can also grab onto the end of snakecheng's tail, spin really quickly, and hurl snakecheng into the air. snakecheng hates it, but it is effective. few things are as distracting or terrifying as a flying snake.

*whip, ffs. idk why that got cut off.

please imagine snakecheng hurtling through the air to "running in the 90's" music

how amazing would it be if that's how foxxian and snakecheng save lotus pier.

everyone's fighting—wen against jiang. and in the midst of it all, foxxian spins furiously, getting ready to launch his brother into the air.

snakecheng lands directly on wen chao and bites him.

also that snake tongue of his? incredibly useful for detecting lies.

jc: did u eat my chicken kebob

wwx: no, i would never do that 🥺👉👈

jc: *blep*

jc: YOU DID EAT IT, YOU INSUFFERABLE—

jc, after waiting for wwx for AGES: wtf took you so long??

wwx: *opens his mouth*

jc: if i open my mouth and taste that lan dragon's scent all over you, i'll strangle you

wwx: *closes mouth*

wwx:

wwx: just go ahead and strangle me
