seeu w her oomfs <3

[icecreamkink]

watched all of the untamed / cql in two weeks after my friend 1 told me abt mdzs a hundred years ago and my friends 2 and 3 tried to get me into cql for like two whole years and there are.

feelings.

very first scene is a very dramatic death in the middle of nightmare battle on sith planet land . i will forget abt it in the next tenish episodes and then will be very surprised when it becomes Extremely Painful

anyway magic flying gays and possession and human sacrifice! we are off to a great start

in retrospect, chaos goblin wei wuxian must have had a blast pretending to be so cRaZy and be as disruptive as he could as mo xuanyu lbr

listen. why is fire always evil coded. cant a magic clan wear red, black and orange and have flame motif while being wholesome?

For Legal Reasons These Are Not Zombies

i wish the politics of the sect were a bit clearer, especially at the beggining when the wen clan had sm power, was wen ruohan the chief cultivator? is that why they were so slow in responding to the attacks? im v confused by the pre yiling patriarch politics

fighting in the roof by the moonlight as way of flirtiiiiiiing. as i understand this is a wuxia/xianxia trope and honestly...... thank u for ur service

slight bullying and being a nuisance in general, as a way of flirting we love to see it

wwx: if i drink on the rooftop, thats not inside the cloud recesses! hmmm check and mate :D lwj: i will fuck u up so help me god   wwx: :0

i lov them

through hell or high water (quite literally) wei wuxian rem ains a trashfire gremlin till the end and i love him with my whole heart

in the pt subs wei wuxian calls jiang cheng a stubborn duck and i dearly wish that had come back

my opinions on almost every character goes from love to hate u - Hmm Me Like U - BABY. ILY. and i am Very Pleased w that. its been a while since i loved such a complete cast so much i think

no really. i WONT go into a detailed rant abt what i love about each of these characters and each of their relationships to each other. but i COULD. 

some lan disciples in the loudest whisper ever: YEAH THATS THE JIN BASTARD MENG YAO HEARD THE GOT SUPER HUMILIATED BY HIS DAD LOL SURE HOPE HE DOESNT TAKE SLIGHTS TO HIS CHARACTER TO HEART

lan xichen, immediately: i must Love him 

being into problematic ppl is in the Lan genetics, we come to realize

wen qing deserves so many awards for so many things but not snapping and just stabbing wen chao is at the top 

that scene at lan qirens class where wwx talks about using resentful energy to fight a violent spirit. exquisite.

 It establishes Good Student lan wangji, wei wuxian as curious and questioning and not afraid of taboo,  lwj sees that wwx is not, in fact, a dumb ass hes just a Dumbass,  shows us the audience (esp. a western audience) how shocking the idea of disrupting the dead/dying and controlling resentful energy actually is,  the theoretical foreshadow arguing, everyone else like ‘shUT UP’,  “and how could you ensure that the resentful energy would obey you and not hurt other?” “well i havent thought that far” and of course, lan qiren just straight up lobbing a hard object at wwx head,. chefs kiss

fellas is it gay to bother the hot rule obessessed nerd from ur school and make drawings of him with flowers in his hair and then hide gay porn in his book to antagonize him and ask him to hold ur hand and be ur friend and talk to him all the time and get him drunk and give him bunnies bc you know he likes them and give him a lantern and always want his attention and dedicate yourself to getting him to smile-

and after all of that wwx rly said oh i Admire him, aksd like yeah we all were there in high school buddy

i have Learned. caves = gay.

 accidental marriage +beint physically tied together with the sacred married ribbon+ gay panic+foreshadowing+bunnies! in the cave (1)

the story abt lan yi and baoshan sanren tho. i would like to see it

early days wen bros pull my heart strings like a guqin 

EVERYTHING about the lantern scene; disaster hets jiang yanli and jin zixuan; how wwx made lwj a bunny lantern. how soft and touched lwj was. wwx gleefully pointing out he was smiling and lwj IMMEDIATELY PULLING HIW SWORD ON HIM LMAO. tragically foreshadowy promises to do right by pepople, living without regrets. lwjs 'oh no do i love him??' face. just. all of it. 

i have it on good acc that in the novel lwj is explicitly Repressed Gay Panicked Big Horny which is delightful and rly Adds to the performance

 baby lwj is really just conceal dont feel dont let them know u have EMOTIONS (derogatory)

jiang cheng rly went "why dont.u go play with HIM if u like him so much"

jc and wwx have big BIG annoying sibling energy dont think too hard abt it or youll cry

lotus pier is soo pretty :((((((((((((((((

up until episode 13 you could think this could be a magical ancient chinese gays pride n prejudice w swords and shenanigans ................youre just not prepared for the game of thrones of it all

seriously ha ha ha i cried so much w this show my eyes genuinely swelled up . like. physically. fun timez fun timez

that being said, its hilarious that wen xu goes to cloud recesses like 'come out or ill kill all these hostages' and then DOESNT WAIT FOR AN ASWER AND KILLS THEM ALL IMMEDIATELY. do u know how blackmail works sir

 would like to make it recorded that from day one i was like 'CALL A GODDAMN CULTIVATION G20 THIS ASSHOLE SECT IS LITERALLY MASSACRING YALL!!' and it took them like 3 or 4 massacres to do anything and they STILL sent their heirs into their territory  LIKE

when wwx cites the gusu lan rules to wen chao tho. that rebel/attention whore/cutie pie 'look lan zhan i DID memorize the rules after all' ‘also a big fuck you to the wen sect :D :D’ sweet spot that scene achieves . delicious

all the cultivator young masters being petty af even though they are practically prisoners at the cave is hilarious and i love them

hurt and comfort + gay mistunderstandings + watsonian gay declaration music + accidental evil acquisition! at the cave (2)

its like where do i start? the fact theyre both trapped and kind of heavily injured inside an isolated cave with a murder turtle? wwx gay panicking lwj into coughing up bad blood? lwj being jealous as wwx babbles abt mianmian? telling him he shouldnt play with people and wwx saying he never played him? wwx going Oh. I See what is happening. YOU like mianmian, and lwj absolute done face ??? (iconic) wwx touching the sacred married ribbon Again? the telepathic communication? the sword? WEI WUXIAN ASKING LAN WANGJI TO SING TO HIM AS HE IS PASSING OUT AND LWJ SINGING HIM. THE SONG. HE WROTE. FOR WWX. AND THAT HE CALLED. THEIR SHIP NAME????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

they are SO insufferable pleeeeease

in the words of my friend 1 : “CQL is so gay we were all amazed how it got past the censors Ofc unfortunately it can't be novel level gay But they did their best And we love them for it”

in the theme of songs THIS OST. WUJI HAS BEEN LIVING IN MY MIND RENT FREE SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT the whole ost is so so sO beautiful.

 the costuming in this is also soooo exquisite. the embroidery? the fabrics? the details? how every sect and clan has a distinct style and architecture? (also ik they based each off of dif periods in chinese history which is REALLY fucking cool) just chefs kiss

the direction too!. i enjoy the unusual camera movements and i think they give it that Vibe, also their composition is PARTICULARLY good when it comes to telling the subtext through position of camera/position of character (like nhs off to the side in scenes he at first glance doesnt need to be/ how lwj is often centered when hes Jealous Yearning at wwx being affectionate w other ppl, wwx return from burial mounds etc)

ik madam yu is like Badass Milf Check and shes not getting any mom of the year awards but im delighted at how messy she is. IMAGINE that woman on tiktok

you better have enjoyed gay cave (2) bc its Just Pain from here on out! 

jiang fengmian and madame yu win the Most Dramatic Way to show they do care about each other, actually ..... ever :)

i thought jiang yanli jiang cheng and wei wuxian forcing themselves to escape yunmeng barely holding on after their parents are killed was going to be the height of pain in this show. ha. 

the family dynamics in general on this showwwww, both blood/ adopted/ found families, brotherly bonds and lifelong friendships just. rly. truly. fucked me up. theyre all so important and complicated and well rounded and beautiful and tragic

and beyond being a Win For the Gays im so glad the relationships w wwx and jiang yanli/ wen qing were NOT changed from platonic bc they are so much better like that imo. like maybe if we didnt Live In A Society it wouldnt be so, but the fact wwx and others can love and value them so much and theres nothing romantic or sexual abt it is like. so refreshing. especially @ jyl, with the way he and jc are overprotective of her and shes such a nurturing/care taker figure for them, it would just not vibe as well if they made it romantic

i love that this is a story abt Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch aka Actual Satan/Boogey Man/Village With/Public Enemy Number One , my dude is literally a necromancer who only dresses in black and has evil smokey black tendrils wafting out of him, but the really edgy one is still jiang cheng, pastel purple fashion icon

and speaking of best/worst siblings wei wuxian and jiang cheng *immediately starts crying* 

The Golden Core Transfer i just. no thots only tears 

wen qing and wen ning putting themselves in so much danger just.... to help them. wn saving jc from wen chao. wq finding a way to get wwx to transfer his core. like thinking about the monumental work these two did to help wwx and jyl and jc... jyl trying so fucking hard to be strong and keep on moving and giver her little brothers comfort after losing everything... jiang cheng. losing his parents and his home and his ability to do anything abt it and his complete desperation and lack of self worth and turning on them with agression  when he didnt realize all that they did for him ... hhhhhhhhhhhhh

me, pointing at the whole cast “i just LOVE them mom!!!”

its sad tho, that BARELY ANY of the women have like.... actual important conversations let alone relationships with each other at all in the story. and like wq and jyl have stayed at the same place for extended periods of time, where wq actively took care of her TWICE,  and still! not one measly convo, nothing! ................ .𝓌ₕᵧ

everyone in this show need a good sip of Self Worth and Stop Sacrificing Yourself juice 

ngl the sword flying looks very dumb 

“a-cheng, please bring a-xian back.” “i will, i promise.” ;-;

the whole calling each other by the More Intimate Version of the name, first as teasing and later as true intimacy. mmmhmmm yes

untamed where everythings the same but wwx evil flute song is eoeo

related that scene when wwx comes back from the burial mounds for the first time w demonic cultivation and he acts all formal and calls lwj hanguang-jun and keeps being evasive and distant and mean and soooooo................. facetious 

and how hes kind of desperately trying to keep intense lwj at bay (A FIRST) and avoiding actually talking to either of them and its all tension ughhh and then he MOCKS his and lwjs relationship, he jokes w him in this like... mean echo of their usual ~banter~ oof 

 and like!!! uncertain but so relieved jc who just HUGS him w no reservations for once and its not like he isnt just as worried as lwj abt wwx and what hes doing, but he chooses in that moment to enjoy getting him back first and mmhmMMMmMm yes (maybe my favorite scene in the whole show? MAYBE SO. ) 

highkey hurt me but also. i might be into mean wwx. i will take no criticism.

lan zhans sad eyes tho :((((((((( 

on one hand i wish we could have seen what happened at the burial mounds but on the other the timeskip adds so much flair to his return so im hnnn

also i love that hes been missing for 3 months reappears kinda melancholic and bloodthirsty and knowing malign tricks and jc is like 'so. are u sad bc of lan wangji'

when ur bae survived the war but he thinks ur evil/ might be evil so you cant kiss :///

hmmm talking at the rooftop under the moonlight not mentioning everything that stands between usssss

they are the two jades of lan and we’ll be the two heroes of yunmeng is the type of line u dont even need to know whats gonna happen to know thats gonna be sad

when they fight wen ruoshan at the nightless city i thought that was the battle we see at the first ep and its not and its so easy and theyre all like ‘yayy we won go wwx!’ i was just. SCREAMS WHAT is gonna HAPPEN

so like. post burial mounds/sunshot campaign pre yiling patriarch wwx is like. ultra arrogant, ultra mocking, peak lil shit and it gave me e v e r y t h i n g i wanted

even tho having the wen prisoners at the targets at phoenix mountain and still having wwx and jzx shooting the arrows was???? so.... tone deaf 

wwx: fucking w demonic energy   jyl: he has never done anything wrong in his life, ever <3 <3 (mood)

the parallels between meng yao/wei wuxian (and even xue yang a bit?) are Seen and they are Valid

wwx post burial mounds: can yall SHUT UP abt the goddamn sword (suibian left the chat)

LIKE truly, we talk abt the angst and yearning with wangxian. but what abt wwx and suibian. xianbian / xianqing angst and comfort 100k

take a shot everytime someone coughs up blood

zidian is simply the coolest spiritual weapon rip to suibian and chenqing and bichen and sendou and baixa........ but tis the truth 

cons: everyones families died in a nightmare war! everyones homes burned to the ground! everyone is traumatized! pros: everyone gets cooler clothes and weapons!!

wen ning and a-yuan and yanli bestest babes squad dont touch me rn

everyone: brooding and fighting                                                                wq and jyl: why dont you try some acupunture/drinking some soup and calm down huh? how abt that bitch?? 

showing the battle/massacre at the nightless city first was genius actually bc then everytime we have a cute scene w yunmeng bros and theyre like 'we'll be together forever! uwu' youre like oh. oh no. oh no no no. 

justice vs lawfulness vs means and ends 👁

jc: stay in the right path and practice the art of the sword                        wx: yeah thats not gonna happen chief

my reaction to wwx renouncing to the sect politics to help the wens was just that elmo burning gif in succession

the dramatic rain. wen qing desperately calling out to wen ning. the ghosts/puppets killing the guards. how terrifying wn actually was while wwx was controlling him :( lwj goeing after him to try and stop him and then he just; he Sees him and understands him even if he cant actually do anything about it other than let them go. 

“there must be somewhere in this earth we can go to :(((((((((”

"IF I HAVE TO FIGHT THEM, I'D RATHER IT BE YOU. DYING BY YOUR HANDS WOULD AT LEAST BE WORTH IT." oh my god oh my god oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddddd

also lwjs umbrella is white w black smoke.. .  . nice

yiling patriarch / demonic farming burial mounds settlement is like one of my favorite concepts. they an "EVIL" FARMING COMMUNITY LED BY THE VILLAGE WITCH COME ON

they planted TURNIPS and LOTUS FLOWERS and ONE (1) baby and made lanterns and a common hall :(((((((

wen qing and wei wuxian, baddest bitches and genius science best friends i absolutely LOVED to see it. they rly went ‘is anyone gonna sibling/project partner that’ and didnt wait for an answer

both wwx and jyl getting lotus ponds at the burial mounds and in lanling bc they miss lotus pier ;;;;;;;w

;;;;; wish jyl had actually gone into the burial mounds. we were robbed of jyl and wq meeting again and jyl meeting a-yuan and seeing the settlement and the homes and all ;w; at least jc did go, stab wounds and broken arms and all

wwx like... having thrown his whole life away to help the wens (yeah the sect leaders and jin guangshan in particular wanting his stygian tiger amulet was an Element but still) and not.... necessarily regretting it, but grappling with all of the consequences of it... becoming moody and drepressed at times, missing his family and lotus pier and his friends and probably simply missing being around people and causing trouble, extrovert that he is, lashing out at the wens and at a-yuan, just in general the whole messiness of that experience

the way the resentful energy does affect his temperament is rly nice bc its not too in your face,(i mean outside of the Shaky Hands of Rage) but like he clearly has a much lesser control on his anger and impulsivity (tall order) than both before bm and after hes ressurected

on that note A-YUAN BABIEST BABY BOY BEST BOY

lan zhan being like oh hey there wei ying fancy meeting u and our son here. just passing by u know how it is hmmmmMm and then PLOT TWIST having defied orders to go see him and being punished for it. oof;;

 they habent seen each other in like? a year? and now theyre tgt 10 seconds and are already parenting a child together

also lwj rly kneels down in the snow way too much to be healthy

wwx: calm down guyssss i wont lose control of demonic cultivation omgggg  .   spoiler alert: he loses control of demonic cultivation

did u enjoy cute children? good bc now the Real Pain Begins

jiang yanli and jin zixuan rly out there APROPRIATING both disaster gays AND bury ur gays huh ;w;

i KNEW jin lings birthday was gonna fuck something up but the GASP that left my body when wwx lost control of wn and killed jin zixuan .. . . 

im sorry and thank you aaaaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAaAAAAA 

when wen ning and wen qing were telling wwx their plan i was saying NO NO NO NO NO NO out loud in despair 

also can we talk abt how wq is definetely talking about only the both of them surrending themselves but then? everyone else just surrenders w them? IT MAKES NO SENSE LIKE WHY WOULD THEY what would be the Point

 sometimes there are some pretty gaping jumps in logic and continuity that are just like                     ?          ?

wwx: oh so when you try to murder me its justified but when i survive through dark magic and murder all of you its a "war crime"

unsurprisingly, his most feral, most spiraling moment talking to the sect leaders on the roof and attacking them and even fighting lan zhan is among my favorite scenes... its like, so painful to watch but also   so       thrilling   (and maybe my wen bbs dying arose some resentful energy in me what can i say) 

and its JUST, all they ever wanted was to do good but then... war. and trauma. and hubris. 

jiang cheng on the ground clearly thorn between what to do and feel is a Mood, lets just say

i was already crying when jyl showed up, but if i wasnt-

 i suffered SO MUCH through this series trying to figure out WHY jc would kill wwx. and when i understood. its somehow not as bad as i thought and also MUCH MUCH WORSE

a look into my group chat during the last flashback episodes:

SO ANYWAY. after the BLOOD BATH and RIPPING YOUR HEART OUT and FEEDING IT TO YOU  the untamed goes ‘ayy back to the present!! tu du dud ud du’ 

literally it ends a quarter into an episode and then KEEPS GOING i had to pause and stare blankly at the ceiling for an hour

babie cultivators and detective soulmates . i do need some cute after All of That 

(not that the pain is over LOL)

lwj is significantly less emotionally repressed in the present and its delightful. hes just ALL IN with wwx. and not just in the ‘i would and have killed various men and risked my reputation for you’ but also ‘ur tired here have a drink i brought it up cause i know u like it and it want you to be happy, always’

“when everyone praised me and wanted my power, you were the only one that challenged me. now that everyone hates me and wants me dead, youre the only one that stands by my side.” hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 

and just filling in the blanks how lan zhan searched for him. for all of those 16 years he searched for him and was punished for it and raised a-yuan, the only survivor of the burial mounds settlement, as his own in gusu......

and jiang cheng.  being the tough love uncle . having raised the yunmeng jiang clan from the rubble all alone, his whole family dead, some of it on the blame of his own brother, his siblings, his closest friends gone.......and only jin ling there needing his guidance. 

THE PARALLEL BETWEEN JIN LING BEING A LIFELINE FOR JIANG CHENG AND A-YUAN FOR LAN WANGJI AFTER THE BATTLE AT THE NIGHTLESS CITY  

great now i made myself sad

and like . the fact! that lwj and jc dislike each other!!. jc projects blame onto him for wwx both “leaving” him and indirectly causing their families deaths and when hes so consumed by it he makes wwx an enemy, lwj is there now? trying to protect him?? and lwj, who can never understand the pain that wwx , indirectly or not put jc through, but who was right there when jc tried to kill him and will never allow him to hurt wwx again. and how they like. in a way project blame of their tragedies onto each other while dealing with some type of survivor guilt and in their own way still loving wwx through it all???  amd in way its kind of fundamentally selfish but also tragically understandable? and like when u put it against the fact that after he disappears during the sunshot campaign they were looking for him together and fought together??

JUST. THE CHARACTERS. AND THE RELATIONSHIPS IN THIS. MAN. UGH. GOD. 

and like i think thats what makes it so good? its such a sad and painful and violent story, edgy even, but its compelling bc at the center of it there are all of these relationships and different types of love and hope and. :( i love it

enough crying lets talk abt wwx sleeping at the jingshi with lwj and wearing his under garment for a minute 🙏

 jin ling just has that Was Raised by JC energy tho lmao i love him

babie cultivator squad is the perfect ammount of cute and comedic relief while still bearing the weight? of the narrative in a way, both from sizhui and jin lings existences, and also. like. how do i put this. they feel hopeful? they were born after a war, they came of age at a time of relative peace, they dont hold on so closely to the resentments of their parents/father figures, they are specifically shown as more accepting and open minded. and its like.... Hope for the future  

one of the ?? things  i love the most is the fact that the main cast are often in situations where theyre hunted/running but they like. never wear disguises... just going around in their gorgeous expensive clan clothes and hair ornaments and distinctive spiritual weapons.... maybe w a straw hat on, just for kicks

wwx teacher 🥺🥺🥺

so this is why its called Yi City Misery huh

a-qing is such. an icon. im so sad. my girl even knew to leave xys dumb self rotting by the road but no one listens to her thats why theyre all dead or sad 

her and xue yang measuring each other up was so entertaining lmao

 its the funniest thing when hes like. HERES MY SAD STORY. FOR WHY IM A SADISTIC MURDERER. I BROKE MY HAND ONCE. 

like ok someone broke his hand in a horrible way, and like Poverty, i get it but also like.......... that lost the brunt of a proper sob story like, 50 sadistic murders ago bby

and i love that xingchen does not entertain that for a second hes like ‘not ?????? good enough???’ and the best thing is he wasnt even like 'u hadto be the bigger person' or sth but ' well then break that dudes hand back, rip his arm off for i care, what do the rest of us have to do w anything???” 

anjo sensato :(

xue yang is like..... the sexy sadistic evil version of a himbo..... a meanbo...

the fucked upness of xy’s feelings for xxc/ xxc and sl feelings for each other... like my dude literally gave his bf HIS EYES. and xy getting so attached to xxc .... the fucked up fake domesticity.... having him hurt sl..... then desperately trying to bring him back ...................... oof

song lan........... literally had his eyes AND tongue removed, his bfs eyes put in place, was almost killed, turned into a puppet by his bf unknowingly, manipulated by xy, sees his bf killing himself in despair.... and STILL finds the strenght to get up from there, and keep on traveling and helping people and attempting to fix xxcs soul.......... like, my man. damn. 

wangxian looking at songxiao and seeing an Actually more painful parallel for themselves. ft. that Color Coding. 

THE A-YUAN/SIZHUI REVEAL PUNCHED ME IN THE HEART but in a good way for a change

should have know that he would be the Best Boy the cute one w all the braincells

the butterfly AND the bunny lantern. i see how it is

u know is very convenient that no one can see the stark black veins on wen nings neck, ever 

BAT WEN NING 

wns face when lwj comes into wwx room like ‘:0 omg did u two finally get your shit together? good for you master wei good for u’ 

(they didnt) (yet)

DISASTER DRUNK LWJ. JUST. THRUST SOME CHICKENS TO SHOW UR RESSURECTED BAE THAT U LOVE THEM.

i have absolutely no idea WHY they gave lwj the same punishment for fighting his own sect/allies to protect the burial mounds as when they got drunk on cloud recess class days.... like? its such a ... emotional continuity error again

also is lwj gonna get an actual friend besides wwx , ever

mianmian marrying and having a family and a cute life after saying FUCK U AND UR SYSTEM TOO in a much less unhinged and dramatic way than wwx......... fills me w joy

also lol the idea that like. her husband not knowing that shes friends w satan/the boogey man/the village witch is hilarious

i love nie mingjue bc hes the resident Though Guy but also the most dramatic bitch in this show and thats Saying Something

jin ling cant have one uneventful relative can he

the fact that everyone present already knew “mo xuanyu” was wwx at the stairs is so funny, their faces are like ‘oh............ wow. that. sure is a development. shock” 

in the tradition of extremely loud whispers wwx tells lwj with twelve guards standing like one meter away from them: HEY PSH LAN ZHAN PRETEND IM FORCING YOU TO STAY W ME DO IT

oh my god oh my god

the absolute Yearning on his face when he leaves wwx and a-yuan at the burial mounds and refuses to stay for dinner was already Enough but the fact?? they brought it back?? to this declaration of love?? their expressions??????? strike me dead right now just go ahead

lFor Legal Reasons We Cant Kiss but we will have a very sappy declaration of love and trust and look at each other in way that is the actualization of 💞💘💗💖💓💘💞💗💖💘💗💖💕💞

also icb all the sect leaders and guards are standing there watching them say they like��like each other with a dozen swords pointing at their neck

i enjoyed the depiction of the fickle public perception and how easily it can be used to scapegoat people. when the sect leaders turn on jgy and wwx knows thats its more for convenience than anything else...

poor lxc is literally like 'oh so when YOUR problematic boyfriend gets called evil its a misunderstanding but when its MY problematic bf-'

ok like i cant get over nmj let jgy play a song that messed with his temperament at all, like maN u KNEW he might be shady wth

wwx: “hey dont say anything bad abt lan zhan hes not an arrogant dick, thats just his face. 

ME ON THE OTHER HAND"

the cultivators as wwx is poking holes in their narrative is literally *nazaré meme*

"wei wuxian-!" "what did i break your leg, too?" not to be problematic but i laughed so hard

not as hard as "you dont have the rank to talk to me " tho

i Enjoy that, over the course of story, wwx sees that... theres nothing truly to Do, but move on. he saw how his arrogance and his mistakes hurt others, and hes trying to fix what he can, but he already did die for his mistakes and there are things he cant fix and that's. just how it is. even towards jgy, the narrative doesn't go gleefully and completely with "lets make THEM pay bc theyre the big bad" bc its not that simple, and it wouldn't lead anywhere but more pain...

re him and jiang cheng and the wens and kinda. isnt that what nhs did? scheming to displace jgy out of revenge more than any justice and doing so in the most painful way?

idk if that actually makes sense im truly just babbling

i thought the scene at the lotus pond would be CUTE but the context was PAIN again

jiang cheng finding out about his golden core and his conflict with wwx at the guanyin temple .... destroyed me but in a nice way kinda.... same way it destroys him look at his face oh god

and. the fact??? he sacrificed himself for wwx?? first?? and he'll probably never tell anyone much less wwx???? keeps me up at night

i havent decided if the neckbreak transition between jgy does sth super Evil or does he he does OR Does He yes he does O R does heeeee is sth i dislike or not

jin guangyao and wei wuxians most interesting parallel is that... theyve both seen 'hmm hey this system is fucked up' and wwx went 'so fuck it all i will renounce it and challenge it' and jgy went 'so fuck it i will use all of it to my advantage and manipulate it to my goals and whims'

the fact jgys mom was actually great and he loved her and his whole issue w it was more than simply being ashamed of being a bastard kinda got me ngl

never trust a dude with a fan.

nhs and jgy: the first rule to a convoluted and decades spanning violent revenge plot is to have fun and be yourself! 

when a-yuan finally FINALLY remembers ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; wen ning has someone in his family back and a-yuan has someone to talk abt his wen family and wwx has him back bc he survived and lwj raised him anD HES THEIR SON. THEYRE MARRIED AND HAVE A SON. UGH.

and theyre allowed to heal. everyone is allowed to try and recover and be happy

netflix put all of the 3 endings on top of each other and it looks kinda weird actually BUT I DONT EVEN MIND :’’’’’’’’’)

the gasp that left me when lwj says ‘wei ying’ and wwx turns.........

there was also a screen with ‘thank you mxtx for creating these characters, we hope their wishes come true’ and i might. have cried then too. maybe. 

that was . a ride. as is proven by this behemot of a ramble clearly i just really needed and Outlet. i am currently trying to convince dumb monkey brain to not consume the other medias of mdzs immediately bc i REALLY need to like. live. a life. and take care of real responsibilities.  *longest oh boi ever*

DWK Podcast - recap

Joachim Masannek tells the story of a new wild soccer bunch book, which comes out next spring and talks about the story between the 5th and 6th book. A story in which Juli speaks up again, because after his almost-betrayal of the wild soccer bunch to fat Michi, it drags him into the fat-Michi-land again. And there are two other surprises, one for the neck and one for the eyes.

Question: (They listen to a question that fans can send in and answer them)

Is Leons necklace available to purchase anywhere on the internet?

Will the other wild soccer bunch books also be rereleased?

Answer:

Yes, there are still a few necklaces left. Some are made out of silver, some like those from the 5th movie, out of Iron and some that are made out of regular metal. They charge 39€ including shipping for the regular ones. Just send an E-Mail to the guys at www.mein-lieblingsring.de  to order one. Joachim wears one made out of iron, which was a present for the team that they got from him when they started shooting the wild soccer bunch 5.

The other books will be released, too. Book 4 and 5 will come out in September, he already reworked them and is now correcting the galley proofs. They are planning to release Book 6 Raban, the hero and Book 7 Maxi “Tippkick” Maximilian next spring.

So, between Book 5 and 6 they want to release a NEW book, which they are not sure how to name it yet. Something along the lines of 5,5 or 5½ or 5.1

They do it that way, because there may be coming more “inbetween books”

The plot of the new book will basically be as follows:

The 5th book left off with the bunch starting their autumn vacation

During that vacation Willi makes a training camp in the devils Pot to prepare the Team for a testgame he organized against bavaria. Because the bunch lost against them last time, Willi wants to see if the bunch has gotten better before they play against the Turnerkreis

The bunch spends practically 24 hours together during the camp because Willi wants them to get to know each other better and to understand each other blindly

the bunch starts to tell stories and they trust each other completely, Juli is very happy to be back and together with his friends

but every night he lies awake and thinks about Nadeschda

Juli still contemplates whether or not he belongs into the land of fat Michi because his dad lives there

For that reason and because Nadeschda is there, he wants to go back as happy as he is right now

He feels like he can’t explain that to his friends since they just rescued him from there

So Juli wants us, the readers to swear that we won’t tell the bunch

He makes the plan to train properly, to laugh the loudest about jokes and be the best friend he can be, so that his friends think everything is alright

And once the others are asleep he escapes

He is still very much afraid of going towards the graffiti castles and beyond those into the Land of Michis Cousin

But hes also excited and goes anyways because he wants to know why he likes Nadeschda so much

Joachim said Nadeschda isn’t a usual girl, she looks more like a boy

not like a tomboy but she has short hair

He also explained that out of the three cousins of Michi two of them look more like Michi, thinner next to Michis Vetter but to Juli they still look a lot like Michi unlike Nadeschda

Nadeschda is also 9 years old and has never been anywhere else than the land of Michi and their cousin

Nadeschda and Juli carefully get to know each other more, they meet each other and just talk. They notice they do like each other

But not like teenagers, they dont kiss or cuddly or anything like that. They just like each other, like when you have a really close friend, only a little bit more

They start to tell each other stories, Juli talks about where he comes from and Nadeschda talks about where she comes from and how its like there. She says its nice there and not only scary. Michis cousin, the Vetter isn’t just bad or evil and the people there can be nice too

Over time, during the autumn vacation Juli starts to get in trouble because he doesn’t sleep. By day he has to train and still tries his best. He wants to be a good friend and does anyone a favour, so that no one gets suspicous

Once people start to notice that something is wrong, Juli thinks he can’t keep that scheme going and asks Nadeschda to come with him

But she is afraid, because she has never been there and thinks she’s not worth living there as the world of the bunch seems like something very special to her

Eventually Juli can persuade her, and they plan to meet up the next day

What they didn’t notice is that Michi was watching them and hes not happy about Juli taking his cousin away

Michi talks to Nadeschda and forces her to be a spy, like a mole

He wants the bunch to warm up to her and trust her and he wants her to give him acces to Camelot and the devils pot

Once he gets access to either he plans on ambushing the bunch once they feel save. Michi wants to tie them up and burn their jerseys and player contracts, to get revenge for his defeat during the fight for Camelot

Nadeschda goes with Juli to the devils pot and joins the camping bunch

The bunch starts to pick on Juli “Did your freckles explode?” and “Your ears are so red!” but they are also in awe because Nadeschda proves to be pretty cool

She even starts to play soccer and seems to have some talent. So much so that the bunch starts to think that she would be a great addition to the team

The day of the big match against bavaria comes, which is also the day the unbeatable winners want to ambush the bunch. Nadeschda is torn, she wants to warn Juli and his friends but she also fears they will chase her away since she is a traitor

Nadeschda hesitated too long and the bunch does get captured and tied up

Michi wants to burn their stuff but Nadeschda tries to prevent that and they get a stalemate situation

Nadeschda “gets Michi by the balls” (that is word for word what Joachim said) so that Michi can’t follow through with his threats, although he wont be completely defeated

the unbeatable winners retreat and for the moment its a draw

Nadeschda realises that she can't leave her world behind and she tells Juli that they cannot combine their worlds that easily

She asks him to come with her, if he wants to be with her, but Juli sais he can’t do that

Joachim wants to keep telling that story because there is that rumored 14th book which was supposed to be from Michis perspective, but never got released

That book talks about what happened after the bunch came back from Hamm, that Michi got hold of the devils pot, Camelot and the Secret Hall while the bunch was gone

That is where the story is ultimately supposed to lead and also where the two worlds of Juli and Nadeschda will collide at last

It may be where the two of them find a solution to their slow timid lovestory

If Joachims audience would like to read that kind of story he is writing right now, he will release that with the 6th book next spring

The release of more inbetween books depends on how many people will like and read that 5.5 book

Joachim says he’s very excited, because it’s a journey into the past. He wrote Julis Book roughly 20 years ago in the summer of 2002 a little bit before they started shooting the wild soccer bunch

Julis Book was one of the hardest books to write since the editor back then was against Michi beeing so bad or evil. He is already chubby, poor, stupid and then he is also bad. The editor said that wouldn’t be politically correct

But Masannek said that’s how it was in his childhood, there are people like that in this world and it doesn’t have anything to do with him wanting to insult anybody that is fat

There are a lot of kids who weren’t the thinnest and who would have loved to be part of the wild bunch and it never crossed their minds to emphasize or identify with Michi because of their weight

there were also Kids who were thin and who did identify with Michi and acted like him

Anyways, that was 20 years ago and now Joachim needs to find his way back into the language and the humour he had back then. His boys were 11 and 10 or 9 years old, Marlon was 11 during shooting (of the first movie) and Leon was 9, now they are 29 and 27, a lot of time has passed. Joachim is also 20 years older and he wrote different books in the meantime so to get back into it is a challenge

It is especially exciting to him because he is working on a series and would like to know if we are interested in that. They would like to make a wild soccer bunch series, which he is working on with a lot of people and to him its a lot of fun.

The series would not be for children, or not only for children, more in the vein of Stranger Things or Harry Potter, which not only children watch but also adults who actually let the children watch with them

It will be an adult story about a wild soccer bunch team with the protagonists beeing kids on one hand and on the other hand grown-ups

In the original wild soccer bunch movies the adults always were unimportant or antagonists, this time the adults would get their own story

Although it’s still a wild soccer bunch story for those who watched the movies in the cinema back then. Its supposed to be something different but still the wild bunch which those people who were younger would still watch as adults

Then they went on to talk about how Joachim would appreciate feedback about the new series project and how there are fans not only from germany who can feel free to send a message here.

You can also send in Voice messages and if there are enough they would make an episode where they only focus on those messages

And thats it for Episode 28!

1-10 for the muns w/ multimuse meme

meme: asks for multimuse accs

status: accepting

recipient: anonymous

this turned out super long so I’ll put it under read more.

1. is there a muse that you wish gets more attention?

Marcin. Definitely Marcin. I mean, my mind is also screaming Boram right now, but it’s always Marcin that really should get more attention.

5. if you HAD to choose, who’s your least favourite muse?

…………….. ok, no but really, what’s with this question?! They’re all my babies. Hmm… personality wise I’d probably kill Jaewook, but I adore writing him. Uh, master manipulator Samael is also fun to write. And so is the coward Aaron and that asshole Soonrok… ugh, ugh, ugh. I guess I’d have to choose Inhyeong??????? But at the same time absolutely not because this soft lost baby ;; So, there’s really not— I hate this question so much.

6. which one of your muses have you been playing the longest?

Out of the ones I have on this blog, hands down – it’s Suriel.

7. which one of your muses has the most ships?

… none? Akhem, I mean… Iseul? I mean… only Suriel and my private muses have any ships that are officially ships? And that’s one for each? And then Iseul has one semi-official ship (it’s complicated, ok?) and one… maybe two more that could evolve into something. Thing is, I’m awkward and don’t know how do people really do this thing called shipping.

8. what is each of your muses otps? notps?

Marcin -- OT3: Marcin/Iseul/BitnanSuriel -- OTP: Suriel/SobyeolIseul -- OT3: Marcin/Iseul/BitnanMagnolia -- none as of nowBoram -- none as of nowJaewook -- (N)OTP: Jaewook/SeokminAaron -- NOTP: Aaron/WonhanSoonrok -- NOTP: Soonrok/any nice muse ever tbhSamael -- none as of now, might be something pending, who knows~Inhyeong -- none as of now

I just... *looks at it* if there’s any OTPs or NOTPs, it’s all with the same roleplay partner... I really need more regular writing partners... at least my private muses have it a little better and have actual ships with other people.

9. why were you drawn to each one of your characters?

Oh, that’s going to be a long answer…Marcin – I have yet to see gods from Slavic pantheon in rpc and since with my native language I have an access to more sources than only English speaking people do, I decided to do a more thorough research and give it a go, especially since I knew just a perfect faceclaim to be cast as Czarnogłów. How could I resist?!Suriel – well, here’s a funny thing. This was a character created on a request, cause my buddy wanted a best friend dynamics based on the dynamics among two certain faceclaims. So, his way of interacting with people was based on the way his fc would treat others. And boy, did it take off. I did not expect to fall in love with this character. He was supposed to be an experiment that I didn’t expect to last for longer than maybe three months. Instead, here I am right now, wanting to write a book about him because only rp isn’t doing him any justice. He made a lot of friends, he fell in love, he’s not as afraid as he used to be anymore… I feel him growing each and every day and I just want to learn more and more about him. Iseul – an idea based on a poster I saw, further developed around an idea I got based on the stories of Sun and Moon being lovers. I was like, why not tossing rain into this tragic story? And that’s how Iseul happened.Magnolia – I love me some strong independent women and when I put Mazikeen on hiatus, I discovered I miss writing someone so badass.Boram – my most recent baby. I really wanted to write a banshee as a somebody who used to be overly attached to people but they all went away (either died or just left her, went somewhere where she couldn’t follow) and thus she slowly grew dissociated – though she still reaches out to new people, there’s a certain distance she draws between them that she doesn’t allow herself to pass. And her being a shaman? Well, shaman sickness ties up well with her hearing whispers and cries of the deceased – my friend pointed that out right before I made her public.Jaewook – I’ve always wanted to play sassy, charming asshole. That’s it, that’s the story.Aaron – the Tomorrow People is one of my favourite TV shows that got cancelled and I’m still not over it, ok? I had a TTP verse for my Lucifer that I never got to explore so I decided a multimuse is a good chance to finally have my own TTP character that might get some attention. And it worked.Soonrok – how did he even—– truthfully, I already forgot? It was just an idea I had for this man devouring monster who is able to pull off innocent look with just one smile and he’d slither out of any trouble because what is this smol doing here? he couldn’t have done this!Samael – uh uh uh, my attempt at making the actual devil. Because before her I only played Lucifer from Vertigo, who’s not exactly what you’d think the biblical devil would be. So I made Samael into the one that should totally be ruling over Hell – but PLOT TWIST! She never fell, because she’s so well versed in manipulation that she tricked everyone to believe her rightful place is on the throne in Heaven. Evil incarnated, has others do the dirty job for her and boy, does she love it!Inhyeong – one word: Nameless. Oops? The only visual novel I’m weak for.I could go on about my privates and muses that didn’t work out but it’s already lengthy, besides it was supposed to be about muses that are featured on this blog, so I’ll shut up.

Ask anyone who considers themselves a part of the #fitfam, and they’ll tell you they’re partially in it for the clothes. Long gone are the days when going to the gym entailed throwing on a busted, old graphic tee and sweatpants( I like to think we have millennials to thank for that ). The manner realm is no longer catering exclusively to the risk-takers and trendsetters; mode is now highly represented through our athletic wear, which draws it all the more fun to shop for workout wardrobe essentials for your bestie who’s just getting started on her fitness expedition.

Not exclusively can you qualify your bestie like a animal, they are able to dress her like a attractivenes, very. With leggings officially counting as pants( sorry not sorry, Blair Waldorf ), there are plenty of options make their own choices to ensure she’s dressed for success for every hot yoga class, HIIT circuit, and the like. As someone who owns countless duos of leggings, crop crowns to desegregate and match, and actively searches for the prettiest sports bras on the market, I can guarantee your girl is going to fall in love with everything athleisure. This is your chance to show her how it’s done.

Here are a few key workout wardrobe essentials your rookie BFF is going to need to secure her #fitgirl status in 2018.

1A Cute And Comfy Tank For Home Workouts

Free People

No Sweat Tank, $48, Free People

Topping my own wishlist for the holidays is this blush pink tank from Free Beings. The piece is attained with a tri-blend t-shirt fabric that’s super breathable, and falls just slightly below the waist in order to be allowed to necktie it into agricultural crops surface or left open loose.

I’m also truly affection the open cross-back silhouette. Criss-cross items are having a moment lately, and I expect them to pop up even more going into 2018. Purchase this for your gym rat BFF, and she’ll is not simply be styling at the heavines rack, she’ll be way ahead of this soon-to-be breakout trend.

2Long Sleeves For Extra Warmth In The Yoga Studio

Athleta

Studio Crop Long Sleeve, $59, Athleta

Personally, I’m the type of person who doesn’t naturally gravitate toward long-sleeve tops for the gym, especially if I know I’m in for a horrendous sweat. Nonetheless, wintertime is and sometimes the only acces to get my figure moving is to wear a cozy athleisure ensemble that’ll prevent me warm.

This studio crop from Athleta is reached with polyester and spandex cloths that are heated, but still breathable, so you don’t have to pause becoming hard on the treadmill( the sweat’s coming, anyway ). The fit is super loosen, and the design itself is super casual in order to be allowed to even wear it out to brunch after your sweat discussion. Now what I call offset.

3A Versatile Sports Bra

Free People

City Slicker Sports Bra, $29.95, Free People

Sports bras that double as cultivate tops gives people life. This gorgeous part by Free People is somewhat reminiscent of a halter top, and comes in a range of emblazons from a bright, orangey-red colour, to this beautiful forest dark-green.

Your bestie can wear it under a hoodie or long-sleeve shirt, but even though it’s going to be freezing outside over the next few months, she’s going to be working hard in the gym. When the HIIT goes heated, she can take off mantles and sport this part solo.

4A Piece Of Zen

Spiritual Gangster

Zen AF Sports Bra, $48, Spiritual Gangster

I feel like there’s this stereotypical assumption that yogis can’t be badasses, but Spiritual Gangster’s aesthetic slams that down real quick.

This brand is a classic one because it promotes positive vibes and good karma with boho-meets-hipster-meets-edgy parts that are simple, but get the item across. They have a ton of athletics bras to choose from with whimsical mantras like “Zen AF, ” and “Namaslay” that your fellow yogi is bound to love.

5A Stretchy, Sturdy Bra

Beloforte

Beloforte Savoi Sports Bra, $49, Revolve

I essentially live in sports bras, but when I’m affecting the mat or heading to the gym, I need one that’s comfortable to wear, but will still remain my girls in check when I start moving around.

Beloforte is a brand I ever go back to for high-quality slice that are fashionable, functional, and that reach my form feel better. The Savoi bra is my current favorite, and if your girl enjoys subtle, sexy items, she’ll fawn over these mesh board accents.

6Sweats To Run Or Lounge In

Z Supply

The Marled Jogger Pant, $50, Z Supply

I’ve been on a mission to find the perfect duet of laid-back joggers that I can throw on for cardio or rest day, and I see I’ve finally acquired them. Z Supply’s marled sweats were designed for maximum consolation and boast an adjustable drawstring waistband, elastic cuffs, and front pockets for storing your personals( i.e. gym membership card ).

7Leggings That Feel Like A Literal Dream

Gymshark

Dreamy Leggings, $42, Gymshark

Anyone who is familiar with me knows I am a loyal Gymshark customer, and their Flex leggings have been my go-to since their propel. But then the firebrand introduced their signature Dreamy leggings, and it would seem that now I have come to a crossroads.

Not exclusively are these leggings super cute overall, but your waist we still have enough jiggle area so you can breathe through your workout. Plus, there’s a veiled pocket along the waistband to store your phone or keys, and every pair fits like a gauntlet for maximum solace.

8A Cap To Control Sweaty Fly-Aways

Lululemon

Baller Hat, $38, Lululemon

I wasn’t a hat person until I started picturing my favorite fitness influencers rocking pellet caps while they’d filch. I started searching around online for one of my own, and good-for-nothing compares to this picking by Lululemon.

The model comes in nine solid colours to choose from( I’m personally snap between white, heather grey-headed, and this olive color myself) and includes an adjustable belt so you don’t have to figure out what size your bestie wears.

9A Beanie That Sparkles As Bright As Her Personality

Athleta

Metallic Beanie, $38, Athletica

Here’s another hat your fit chick might be into if she’s a fan of headgear. Athleta’s metal accessory is emphatically one she’ll get a ton of use out of traveling in and out of the gym, or even when she’s just out leading some errands.

Girls who pass don’t take a wintertime hiatus; they muddle through the coldnes and snow to reach that runner’s high-pitched, irrespective of stopping temperatures.

Slipping into Under Armour’s polyester knit pair of mittens will continue her warm all the way from object A to B and back again, but if she gets too hot, she can easily unbutton the pullover material to give her fingers some breeze.

11A Gym Bag With Swag

CALIA by Carrie Underwood

Sport Duffel, $49.99, CALA by Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood’s line of athletic wear and supplementaries is bae because it’s cheap and gratifies to all kinds of organization conditions and lengths.

Aside from the singer’s workout clothes, this sporty-chic duffle is hands-down my favorite gym luggage to year because it’s loaded with interior pockets, a front zipper, and a mesh water bottle owner sewed into the side to ensure all foundations are enveloped before you pate to your cycling class.

12A New Pair Of Kicks

All Birds

Women’s Wool Runners, $95, Allbirds
