#Even tho I don’t like my grandma I will take all her homemade shit

[ckygetsjobs]

My love language is homemade shit, that’s the real gateway to my heart. Like if dico brought me like homemade cookies, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, etc, I’d be hooked. Oh you know what his go to homemade meal is the vanilla wafer banana pudding (I don’t know if that is accurate but I can FEEL it in my bones that he loves that)

Episode 8 - WangXian go on a date & DON’T BLINK

Hello there, welcome to another Untamed commentary. To put everyone in the mood, it is Friday evening, one of those grey rainy days interrupted briefly by by brilliant burst of sunlight. I’m having a snack (chopped mango with yoghurt and a homemade matcha latte with honey), I just washed my hair, I’ve exfoliated, masked and moisturised. And everyone in this household is doing their own thing (napping, watching tv shows, more napping), I’m in a very good mood, so let’s go ahead with episode 8.

I think I’ve never commented on the intro credits before, I’ve seen people say they prefer to skip them because they find them spoilery, which they undoubtedly are. However, besides the absolutely stunning cinematography what I feel they aimed for is confusion. You’ve got this guy who’s kind of dark, but he’s crying and playing the flute, then some people are trying to kill him in some scenes, but in others he’s fighting back to back with the same guys and then there’s black smoke everywhere... I feel that, if I saw the credits I’d be intrigued enough to actively look for the drama and find out what the deal with the guy with the flute is.

And let me repeat something from the previous episode:

BUNBUNS. LOOK AT THE BUNBUNS

HOW’S WWX CUTER THAN THE BUNBUNS. THEY’RE BUNBUNS.

DONT FUCKING DO IT. Oh but these three with the bunbuns just melt my heart. STAY WITH THE BUNBUNS FOREVER AND NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN.

JC: gentlemen’s don’t hold bunbuns.

JC: *proceeds to be soft and cute and gentle with the bunbun he’s holding*

Ok but stoic serious no-nonsense LWJ stopping to say goodbye to the bunbuns? That’s fucking adorable.

FR tho, people who are “tough/cold/unapproachable” being super soft with tiny creatures is my damn kryptonite. It’s like, Ben Solo, being a super-beefcake with a lightsaber, a terrible past, too much attitude... and a kitten on his shoulder, I would 100000% ignore the bit where he was a super effective killing machine and go “aww. you like cats!”

As a lover or thunderstorms at night when everything is still and quiet I would’ve stabbed WC up a nostril just on principle, so props to LXC for not murdering that clown. Never mind threatening his baby brother.

I LOVE SHIJIE’S UNWAVERING FAITH IN HER XIANXIAN.

Aaaaaand let’s have a moment to admire LWJ/Wang YiBo in blue.

Ok, done.

OH MY GOD. I’d forgotten this bit was in here. So you know when WWX has just caught up with LWJ and he throws him a loquat and complains about LWJ leaving him behind? I love the bit when he’s calling the Lans petty, and LWJ just goes “boring” and sweeps past him with this tiny sassy smirk and leaves WWX fucking processing for a second. I live for that kind of LWJ and that’s partly what my TimeTraveling!LWJ was based on.

WWX: *ties them with magic* isn’t this neat?

LWJ, internally: so he’s a genius dumbass, I’m fucked.

Ok now that we are a bit in I can safely say this is one of my favourite episodes. No, it is not because it is pretty much an episode-long WangXian date. How dare you.

LWJ’s internal monologue: I can’t believe in so in love with this dumbass. I’m moron-sexual the gods help me.

JC being a good bro and JYL being the fucking queen of the universe like she always is.

(Another moment to appreciate LWJ/Wang YiBo in blue)

I feel LWJ’s aversión to crowds on a spiritual level.

I also feel NHS excelling just in what he likes so much. I mean, I was never a terrible student, but looking back at just the last six years in Med School my marks skyrocketed from a passing grade in stuff like physics and biophysics to top marks in things like neurosurgery; just due to the fact that I find neurosurgery way more interesting than physics.

THE PETAL SHOWER SCENE IS STUNNING. Also, if you don’t think WWX already had a crush on LWJ (and I am talking in The Untamed/CQL verse, I know that in the books he still thought he was straight) I’m pretty sure this is filmed just so we’d have visual confirmation that he is indeed crushing so hard. And I still don’t know if NHS is wingmaning or third wheeling. (Both? Both? Both? Both is good.)

I mean, NHS goes onto his “LWJ is stunning” monologue, and then WWX gives him kind of a disbelieving look. BUT THEN, he glances at LWJ (again being showered in flowers bc he wasn’t gorgeous enough on his own) and his face turns considering, he makes a stupid joke, and he goes back to looking at LWJ with the softest smile. I will fight anyone that dares tell me CQL!WWX hasn’t been crushing on LWJ since the Cloud Recesses.

//Sidebar LWJ’s looks adorably in awe at the petal shower this whole time.

Aaaaaand plot happens.

Oooof! The contrast between all the colourful flowers before and the burned blackened garden now. Ooooof.

Ok but that shadow bird is fucking cool and I want one.

WC’s head piece (guan?) makes me think of the Disney designs for Pain and Panic.

I know is wishful thinking, but if I wonder how different things would’ve been if WQ had snapped and offed WC when he was taunting her with the safety of her family.

Can I take a moment to rave about how clever WQ is? I mean, she’s already worried and scared for her family, she had absolutely no warning before JC ran into her and yet she managed to pull off that ruse to warn him about WangXian and NHS being in trouble in what, a few minutes? She’s so cool.

Ok, full disclosure here, I can’t see elderly people being sad, scared or worried, it reminds me of my maternal grandparents whom I adored and I get super sad.

(My dad still has his parents but they are terrible to my mum, dad and me, so they get no sympathy)

Funny story: I almost fell backwards the first time I heard “grandmother” used as a respectful term to an elderly lady back when I was living in Bulgaria (I moved back to Spain like a week ago, I’m over the moon to be home y’all). You don’t do that in Spain, calling someone who’s not your grandma “grandma” is really fucking rude.

Aaaaaand none of these knuckleheads know how to speak with a person in shock. They get a pass because all teens are knuckleheads in some measure but...

But if I heard a terrified lady muttering about soul snatching I’d fuck right off that village tbh. I’d take my chances sleeping in the woods with the roaming serial killers.

[it just started storming, I love this!]

Sure! Let’s stay the night in a cave with a creepy anthropomorphic statue that’s supposed to snatch souls. I’m sure it’ll be ok.

NHS is the only one with a Braincell here. (NHS is my adorable Slytherin son and I love him)

Y’all might not have noticed but I have not I’m not going to comment on the quality of the CGI/special effects/monsters. I’m aware this is a tv show and it doesn’t have the same budget as idk, a Marvel movie. I’m ok with them not being that believable. Same with unbelievable sword moves, I know shit all about sword fighting and even less about xianxia. Y’all might even be lucky enough to avoid my “bodies don’t work that way” rants, because again, everyone has magic, why would medicine be any different.

[brief interlude here, I had to go cat-hunting because we couldn’t find one of the cats, she likes to make a break for it sometimes, it’s a full on thunderstorm outside, almost sundown and she’s solid black. We found her in the basement exploring. Two of the other ones are in the kitchen with my mum and my big scaredy boi is under my bed. Also, this storm just reminded me that my dad is fixing the attic so I can have a “loft” next year when I start my residency and I can’t wait to fall asleep to rain up there.]

NOT THE TIME TO FLIRT WWX. NOT THE FUCKING TIME.

What LWJ says: stay alert (in case the statue moves again)

What I hear: Don’t Blink!

Oh come on! Zombies now? Fuck right off, let them sleep!

And that was episode 8! Thank you for reading.

As a little kid I used to go to my grandmas house and great grandma and grandpas house and we would always have a big Christmas and a big Thanksgiving together but over time when we slowly started moving away it was me, mom, dad and both my siblings. Back in 2017 I moved to this house in the same town as my mom, dad and siblings so I could live here with this old man and take care of him. My moms friend is the one who pays the bills and brings in food because I have to be here with him 24/7. He might be getting worse in the head but he still can do a lot of things so its my job to make sure he doesn't slip away and go to a neighbors house or get lost and I help when he craps himself and cuts his legs or arm on accident because his skin is so thin. Its almost been three years living here now.

We do try to go out a bit because it can be isolating to be here 24/7 without me getting out too often and this Thanksgiving I got to go to her house (moms friend who is also mine) and I will get to go there for Christmas too. She is trying to help me get insurance to get my teeth fixed and get many other things for me because she knows how long its been without good teeth and she wants to help make sure I get help I need. I hate change but also I’m a Sagittarius so I also want adventure. Lmao I know. Its confusing. I am used to moms homemade buns and a lot of other good stuff so its always hard when I know she has moved an hour away from me to be with my sister to help her and her husband take care of their three month old baby. I feel a change happening. I feel me somehow shedding the old me and leaving it in 2019 and cool things beginning in 2020.

I often find myself feeling trapped because the words I wish to speak don't come out. I don't have the right words to explain what I want to say and it leaves me feel very isolated and trapped inside my head. Many times in the past by certain people in my life i have been told that my interests are dumb (not those exact words tho cuz I forgot) and I get told my issues are “the same shit but a different day” so if I feel like my problems aren't real or worth telling others I just don't bother (i used to a lot but when it began to be pointless it happened a lot less) and so I’m trying to get through past things and maybe not blow all my issues onto everybody. Anyway. Past stuff is hard to explain. What I’m trying to say is I’ve been so down and so, so sleep deprived and not knowing what to do so getting to have Christmas with someone because mom and everybody isn't here will be fun. Its going to be hard trying to stop telling myself that me complaining about issues of my past that was fault isn't me playing victim but just me trying to figure out what is wrong with me and what causes me to be a terrible person and treat people like I treat myself and that because of how I was treated in the past I now have become someone who is mad and sad and nervous all the time and there is this deep self hatred and insecurity about my body and much more that is weighting me down.

Many things that have made me feel terrible for so long and change is a lot and maybe things will get better soon. From the thing with dad to me hating my body and me being terrible and letting it out on others just because I feel easily cornered and irritated and telling myself how dumb I am and that I cant do math or drive and I’m not smart enough for a job and a lot more its no surprise I am so lost in my head all of the time. Even as a little kid I would get emotional before mom saw the report card because I assumed as usual that it was all Cs and Ds. From a very young age I have always told myself I’m not very bright and I still say those exact words even today. I say I’m not very bright a lot. The thing with dad mixed with my deep body insecurity and my guilt of how I treated others to help out frustration is a big reason why I hope I get therapy in 2020 and find some deep inner peace and become a good person. At least as best as I can be. I have to own up that yes Its a mixture of others but a big reason why I’m miserable is because of my poor choices. Fessing up about your behavior and choices and realizing how badly you messed up isn't easy but I need to do this. I wont stop running into the same wall if I don't do something different.
