#its my unhinged vs feral post again

[lizardpersonyknow]

It's so incredibly funny to me that somehow some people think Tim is a boring straightlace and Jason is deranged and unhinged

Like Jason at his worst is a murderous crime lord who also has a moral conscience, protects children and sex workers, works to make the worst parts of Gotham safer and wants to know that his dad cares

Tim at his worst on the other hand.... Rampant murder with NO morals, becomes Batman and uses the gun that killed Bruce's parents, dictator, takes over like half of America, goes back in time like a couple times to tell his younger self that this is their inevitable end just to fuck with HIMSELF

Jason at his best is the happy robin, loves school, cares for sex workers becomes a crime lord to help make sure the people who are addicted aren't being given toxic shit

Tim at his best is entirely unhinged, stalking Batman and Robin through the streets, blackmailing Batman, all the young justice shenanigans, creating a fake uncle to avoid adoption, beefing with a like 9 year old (deserved imo 9 year olds are MEAN), lies to everyone including batman and take pride in it

Like besties one is exponentially more of a black sheep and it isn't the drug lord, it's the heroic sidekick of batman

Yes Jason is still out on the streets wildin and feral but I don't think people give enough credit to how normal he is for his background

Yes Tim is CEO but he's also been 17 for years and probably has taken cocaine to see what it felt like

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, The Untamed

hello all!!! i don’t usually Make Posts here bc.... well i just never started and now it’s a Habit. BUT!! it’s a brand new (terrible) world and i’m locked in my house looking for things to do and i NEED to talk about the untamed and #QuarantineLyfe has deprived me of coworkers to shout at and i’ve already yelled at my three (3) friends, so here we are

the untamed?? you’re thinking, is that that show with all the gifs you reblog of the two beautiful swordsmen pining at each other and you’re just screaming in the tags? yep!!! that’s the bitch!!! i started it 2 months ago and it still has a death grip on my soul. i have gone fully fucking feral about it. will i ever be capable of caring about anything else again? who knows. do i care? absolutely not, i have never been happier

the thing is that everyone who watches this show promptly (a) loses their full-ass mind about it and (b) feels compelled to get everyone else in the world to watch it, so that’s what’s happening here. PREPARE TO BE CONVINCED

(below the cut, bc i am not a monster lol)

okay so the untamed!!!!!!!!!! (that’s the appropriate amount of exclamation marks, i assure you). it’s a chinese drama on netflix (can confirm us and canada, unsure about anywhere else), it’s also all on youtube, and it’s *unhinges jaw and starts screaming*

you know that gif from the pride & prejudice movie where they touch hands for 1.2 seconds and we all clutch at our hearts? the untamed is THAT but for 50 episodes and also gay. you know the north & south bbc miniseries when richard armitage is watching the love of his life leave him and says “look back, look back at me” in That Voice and you’re somehow on the floor? it’s THAT but also gay. this show is just Yearning and Devotion dialed up to 10000000000 and it is UNBEARABLE and also THE best thing i’ve EVER seen. i love myself a period drama and the untamed is like: Period Drama, But What If The Most And Also Gay And Also There’s Magic, and that is Very Good For Me

i’m not doing a very good job telling you what this show is about and that is bc this show is batshit. if you start to describe the plot at all you sound unhinged, so i’m not gonna do that, i’m just gonna make a list of The Best Things About The Untamed, and then i’m gonna link to a couple people who’ve said things way more coherently than me. okay? okay.

reasons to watch the untamed: an incomplete list

the sweetest and sunniest Chaotic Bisexual dark lord you’ll ever meet, a stone-cold badass with a heart of gold who’s also a gigantic little shit

his boyfriend, the Lawful Gay who is a huge bitch and also The Most Integrity Of All Time, literally the definition of “cool and calm on the outside, emotional disaster on the inside”

#Peak Fucking Romance. just Peak Romance after Peak Romance until you’re just like okay, so everybody else pack it up and go home, this is the most EPIC ROMANCE of ALL TIME, and also every single scene between them is somehow the greatest scene of all time??? what the fuck

so much sibling drama. SO MUCH. just so many siblings having so many feelings about each other all over the place

everyone is beautiful??? literally everyone. it’s wildly unfair

brilliant costuming. the robes are so fucking gorgeous. i have a huge incurable case of beautiful robe envy

“gay chaos angst” which is what my friend called it and she’s right and she should say it

“doing the right thing for your loved ones vs. doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing when it isn’t popular” and “doing the right thing by your heart” and other top hits that make me weep

necromancy and also zombies

magic and also martial arts

STUNNING sets

the Tortoise of Slaughter, which is the greatest name for anything ever and so it gets to be a reason all on its own

do you love to suffer? do you love hurt/comfort where the hurt is a LOT but the comfort is also A PLUS? do you love emotionally devastating story arcs about love and loyalty and betrayal and sacrifice and loss and found family? do you also love murder? OH BOY do i have the show for you

are you like, who cares about plot when i have a boatload of characters i’d die for and stunningly compelling relationship dynamics of all sorts and powerful themes about propaganda and justice and corruption and morality and family? bc SAME and the untamed is HERE for us

always a slut for sick-ass swordfighting, ESPECIALLY when it’s homoerotic

Tearful Reunions Up the Wazoo

cute bunnies!!!!

if this has you interested, here are links for (a) an extremely helpful primer that i highly recommend reading before watching bc it tells you things like a list of each character’s 8 names and also that the first 2 episodes are like being launched into a fantasy series on book 3 and you will understand about 30% of what’s going on, and (b) a very good spoiler-free review

https://www.vox.com/2020/3/27/21192718/the-untamed-netflix-review-rec-mdzs-cql

and so i will leave you with the soulmates’ faces, bc they are beautiful and every time they look at each other my heart grows not three sizes but thirty thousand

(p.s. pls feel free to talk to me about this show ANY time, either here or on twitter, where i spend 127 hours every day)

Yes Jason tried to kill Tim but tbh who hasn't? At this point it's enrichment for his enclosure

We already know about Tim's warcrimes, old news I think he acts like he's afraid of Them Drugs but would do them just to test it out

It's so incredibly funny to me that somehow some people think Tim is a boring straightlace and Jason is deranged and unhinged

Like Jason at his worst is a murderous crime lord who also has a moral conscience, protects children and sex workers, works to make the worst parts of Gotham safer and wants to know that his dad cares

Tim at his worst on the other hand.... Rampant murder with NO morals, becomes Batman and uses the gun that killed Bruce's parents, dictator, takes over like half of America, goes back in time like a couple times to tell his younger self that this is their inevitable end just to fuck with HIMSELF
