VERY literal translations of *some* MDZS locations

Yunmeng 云梦 = Cloud dream

Qinghe 清河 = Clear river

Lanling 兰陵 = Orchid hill

Qishan 岐山 = the 'Qi' used in Qishan is actually almost exclusively for Qishan, but it has another meaning: an alternate form of 歧 (Qi), which has one translation of forked road, so Qishan = Forked road mountain (?)

Gusu 姑苏 = Lady's tassel (really not sure about this one, both characters have many meanings)

Most annoying NMJ or JC take is when someone that dislikes them is like "oh you're a fan of him? *scoff* Well obviously you've only seen cql, where he was super watered down. In the novel he's a dislikable asshole and that's the objectively superior canon I'm working from instead of your woobified fanfic." Meanwhile your main canon is novel canon and you genuinely find novel Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue complex sympathetic characters.

another practice with references got out of control (idk what is happening anymore))

Was bored at work so have some Nie brothers doodles—still trying pinpoint nhs’s look

To celebrate the unexpected engagement I’ve been receiving on this blog, I wanted to share with you my conspiracy theory I’ve already shared on Twitter. I’m a strong believer that

🇵🇱 The Qinghe Nie Sect are actually Polish people in disguise. 🇵🇱

It may sound like bullshit which it is but please hear me out I do have evidence.

Evidence #1

Even though the surname “Nie” exists in Chinese language and means “to whisper”, the word “nie” is also present in Polish. One might dare say, it’s one of the most important Polish words, as it means “no”.

Both NMJ and NHS look like people who say “no” a lot. And “no” surely suits NMJ so much better than “to whisper”.

Evidence #2

NMJ’s saber is named 霸下 (Baxia), which sounds exactly like “Basia”. Basia (diminutive of Barbara) is a very common Polish name. It’s also mentioned in Polish anthem, “Poland Is Not Yet Lost” or “Mazurek Dąbrowskiego”.

Speaking of sabers! A saber is a very very Polish weapon, used by Polish hussars.

Evidence #3

Poland and the Qinghe Nie sect share exactly the same color palette: grey and ugly.

Evidence #4

Finally, the Nie can literally get so angry they die. Dying mad is a very Polish thing to do.

This evidence is supported by screenshots from the Polish Legends series on YouTube and seriously, you should check it out, it’s hilariously good.

That’s all. Thank you so much for wasting your time <3

Nie Huaisang in the palette “Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are”- Palette from @seesawsiya

This has been sitting in my WIPs since 2022, but watching Fatal Journey gave me the inspiration to finish it.

My inner fangirl is so happy. I knitted a wall decoration based on the sect symbols from MDZS - The Untamed. I found the template on the internet and my daughter helped me to make a pattern out of it. I'm really happy with the outcome.

Any fellow Nie Mingjue/Wei Wuxian pairing fans? Feeling lonely in this fandom rn

[robby-bobby-tommy]

there are so much interesting thematical similarities between characters of one family/clan in mdzs.

Like the Nies (the only two characters we know of) are ruthless and they all are bound by the undying desire of revenge. Nie Mingjue waited for God knows how long to take down When Rouhan and later even overcame death to get to Jin Guangyao. Nie Huaisang waited for a whole decade to find his brother's corpse and made a very complicated plot to avenge him. They both weren't afraid to get their hands dirty to get what they want. NMJ killed countless of Wen soldiers, and NHS is responsible for MXY's death, all the deaths in Mo Village, probably for Qin Su's death (tho indirectly). And that's just what I can remember. Anyway, they're shared theme is rage (be it quiet or explosive) and revenge.

The Lans, I think, have this shared passion and undying loyalty. LWJ is pretty obvious. Despite how much everyone hated WWX, despite his clan and family being against him, LWJ never stopped believing in WWX. He even went against his teacher/parental figure/uncle to protect his love. That's the dedication right there. And even when WWX got resurrected (thx NHS) LWJ was prepared to die in the Burial ground (if I didn't mess up the location) with WWX. And he isn't the only one in his family/clan.

Like father like son, Lan papa went against all that he knew to protect the woman he loved so much. Even if it meant he had to spend all his life in seclusion, probably never seeing his sons and the outside world, he was prepared to sacrifice everything for Madame Lan.

LCX was also ready to put his everything on the line for JGY. He was constantly supporting JGY, protecting him from harm (mostly from NMJ), and still giving him a benefit of the doubt after all the crazy stuff was revealed. LXC actually makes me terribly sad, because he was PREPARED TO DIE WITH JGY. HE WAS PREPARED TO USE QI DEVIATING MUSIC ON HIMSELF TO PROVE JGY'S INNOCENCE/FIND OUT TRUTH. WHY MUST HE BE USED SO MUCH BY THE PEOPLE HE CARES THE MOST? (Sorry, I'm still heartbroken) Anyways, he isn't an exception to the rule. But he certainly is the most heartbreaking one for sure.

Even Su She, who was only a student in the clan and isn't connected to the family, he was very loyal to JGY, putting his own life on the line multiple times and getting his hands dirty with no questions asked. Su She wasn't the most brave one when he was young, but his devotion literally made him go against the most powerful fierce corpse. No matter how much he wanted to distance himself from Lan clan, he can't escape the loyalty curse of Gusu™.

The trickiest one is Lan Qiren, cuz he doesn't really show very much affection towards anyone/anything. But I feel like his devotion lies with his family or the rules. Despite being super strict, he tries to get LWJ return to Cloud Recesses to protect him from other clans. (The funniest part is that "lets go back to Gusu" never works). Also LQR's and LXC's little interaction in the conference about Wens in donghua made me smile sm, it was so sweet. The funniest part is that he's always whiny, but will cave in for his loved ones. I literally have no proof of him being loyal to his family, but MXTX's own words in an artbook I believe??

I am not really sure about Yunmeng Jiang or Lanling Jin clans, cuz they don't really have so obvious similarities. Lanling Jin's similarity is being connected to JGS, which is not so unique in mdzs. And Yunmeng Jiang is probably having family issues.
