WangXiantics: The (unofficial) Untamed Episode Guide

Sometimes, if i’m feeling down or whatever, i like to rewatch favorite episodes or scenes from a given show as a pick-me-up. In The Untamed, this means basically any wangxian scene. 

For other shows, it’s no big deal because they have like, 25 episodes or less per season and each episode has a proper title. The Untamed, tho? FIFTY (50) episodes whose titles are literally just a number. I’m queer!! We’re notoriously bad with numbers!!!

So I thought to myself, no biggie, I’ll just look up an episode guide to find out which episode has that scene where they gaze longingly at each other in a busy street and buy a lantern together.

The episode guides I found? Don’t mention those scenes. They do this thing were they summarize the plot of each episode?? For some reason????

Guys, this cannot stand. I have decided I am Doing a Thing. I am taking it upon myself to create my very own wangxian episode guide. Because I need a quick reference to Important Wangxian Moments. (And also I need to justify watching the show for a third time in a row).

This here will be the Masterpost. Please be aware that my episode guide will consist mostly of me screaming about wangxian. it will not be spoiler-free. and it probably won’t make sense. And as of now, it is a WIP. But I’m having fun and that’s what matters lol.

THE GUIDE IS NOW COMPLETE!!! AND IT ONLY TOOK ME 3 MONTHS TO DO IT!!!!

Today is my day off, so for fun I’m doing this fanfic MySpace thing.

“But, Lauren, aren’t people supposed to ask you-?”

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

General:

1. Do you read fic? Do you write fic? Yes and yes.

2. Favorite genre of fic? If fake/pretend relationship isn’t a genre, then it should be.

3. Favorite fandom? I usually cycle through? I’ll focus on one for a while, and then shift. But none really stand out to me as my “favorite.”

4. Favorite pairing? See above. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, in every version. Including Encyclopedia Brown. (I know I need to watch Elementary. It’s been five years, and I’m almost over Lucy Liu not being cast as Sherlock. How do you fuck that up.)

5. Favorite fic author? Unpretty. I’m not really a DC or comic person, and I’ve read everything she’s posted. Stop reading this and go read her fic now.

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)?  Goal: Take the Red Pill, by tristesses. Did you want a Matrix/Kim Kardashian game fusion? Because that’s what this is. As a joke, I looked to see if there was any fic for the app, and found this gem.

7. One-shots or longfic? Both. I’ll usually save longfics for a while before starting them, just so I can read it all at once.

8. Do you read WIPs? NO BECAUSE I’VE BEEN READING ONE SINCE 2007 AND IT HASN’T UPDATED SINCE 2014. I’VE BEEN READING THIS FIC FOR NEARLY TEN YEARS. AND I DON’T KNOW IF THE AUTHOR HAS ACTUALLY GIVEN UP ON IT I WILL DIE WAITING FOR A FUCKING UPDATE OF THIS FUCKING FIC. 

9. What is the longest fic you’ve read? Relief Next to Me, by dolce_piccante. I hesitated because of the length and because I couldn’t get into anything else they wrote, but I actually loved this.

10. Favorite trope/element/scenario in fic? FAKE/PRETEND RELATIONSHIP. And meet-cute.

11. Least favorite trope/element/scenario? Character death. I can’t talk, because I killed Rory in a Gilmore Girls fic when I was twelve, but still.

12. What turns you away the most from a fic? Epithets, lose/loose confusion, bad formatting, too OOC... I have a lot of little things that make me close it immediately. Bad writing? Can that be it?

Angst:

13. Has a fic ever made you cry? I was in the Sherlock fandom in 2012.

14. What tropes/elements/scenarios get you the worst? I try not to read things I know will make me cry. Right now, in OMGCP, every fic in which Bitty comes out to his parents and they are supportive.

15. Do you mind when characters cry? No? People cry?

16. How do you feel about character death in fic? NOPE YOU BETTER TAG THAT SHIT SO I CAN AVOID IT FOREVER EVEN MINOR CHARACTER DEATH IF ANYONE DIE THERE BETTER BE A FUCKING TAG.

17. Any characters who you can’t stand to see in pain? No. As long as a happy ending is guaranteed.

18. Favorite angst fic? Alone on the Water, by Mad_Lori. I don’t know if I would even say it’s my favorite, but it made me cry for like a week.

Porn:

19. Do you read porn or does it make you uncomfortable? I read it. I won’t read things that have my super-nope-kinks tagged, but overall it’s fine.

20. Do you like PWPs? Sure.

21. How and when did you get introduced to smut fic? Any horror stories? MY INTRODUCTION TO FIC WAS THROUGH LEMONS. My neighbor and I were talking about Harry Potter at our bus stop, and he started talking about Drarry and fan fiction. And his recs included Drarry porn.

22. Biggest turn-ons in fic? I don’t really get turned on by fic? Kind of, I guess, but I don’t read it for the purpose of being turned on, so I don’t look for my actual turn-ons. If that makes any sense.

23. Biggest turn-offs in fic? Daddy kink, breath play, any kind of animal play, A/B/O, knotting (thanks, Teen Wolf)... there are definitely more.

24. Do you have any dirty kinks that you’re ashamed of? I purposefully have kept my porn and my fic very separate. So, yes, but I have never (and will never) read any fic with my keep-hidden-under-the-floorboards kinks.

25. Any kinks that you’d love to try in real life? This a weird section. Am I the only person who separates actual kinks from reading kinks?

26. Any kinks that you don’t want to try in real life (but are still hot in a fanfic)? Almost every kink I enjoy reading. I think this is where the gray-a thing kicks in.

27. Rough sex or gentle sex? It depends on the scene.

28. How do you feel about masturbation in fic? Gratuitous scenes of masturbation when it’s not a PWP are kind of pointless.

29. How do you feel about non-con and dub-con? Nope on the non-con. Dub-con is a no 99% of the time. (The 1% is sex pollen, with all participants affected.)

30. Favorite porn fic? I don’t think I have one.

AU:

31. Do you read AUs? All of the goddamn time. Teen Wolf is a disaster at this point. AUs are the only thing that exist anymore.

32. Favorite AU tropes? If you write an AU without a meet-cute, what’s the goddamn point.

33. Least favorite AU tropes? Making the characters OOC to fit with the AU you want to use. Automatic tab close.

34. Do you like UAs (universe-alterations, when the main universe and characters are the same but one plot point/decision/outcome is altered)? Yes. It becomes necessary when the show goes off the rails.

35. Do you like high school and college AUs? I read college AUs for OMGCP. Which is set at college.

36. Do you like crossovers? If so, favorite crossover? They can work. I used to have a sticky note about the crossovers I liked. Revenge/Scandal was on it. Emily Thorne existing in the same world as Olivia Pope would have been incredible.

37. How do you feel about parent!fics/lovechildren? How about mpreg? Ehhh. Not a fan. They always give the kids stupid names, and I can’t handle that. Hamish ruined it for me.

38. How do you feel about cis-swap? De-aging? Animalizing? Changed it to cis-swap, because g*****-b*** is really not acceptable terminology anymore. The first is fine, as long as it’s not to make a queer couple straight. Not a fan of the second two.

39. Favorite AU fic? I am not going through all of them. AU fic makes up half of my bookmarks.

Fluff:

40. Do you like fluff? At the moment, I refuse to read anything that isn’t fluff.

41. Favorite fluffy tropes? The fluff part.

42. Least favorite fluffy tropes? Are there sub-fluff tropes? Like, what are fluff tropes in the first place?

43. Do you like fluff on its own or in conjunction with other elements (angst, sex, etc.) Both are good. Fluff anywhere.

44. How fluffy is too fluffy? Listen, they can own fifteen Pomeranian dogs all named Marshmallow, and it’s still not too fluffy.

45. Favorite fluff fic? See favorite AU fic.
