Untamed rewatch Episode 18
Or, my sister and I give each other significant looks whenever golden cores are mentioned and my mom suspects nothing
-netflix why do you want me to think thatā€™s a chicken. thatā€™s a whole live ringneck pheasant. do you think i donā€™t know what one is?
-SONG LAAAAAAAAAAAAN
-ohhhh the way poor zichen trembles when they ask him what happened...
-i always wonder why song lan went to the temple alone that time...how might have things gone different if xingchen had been with him?
-love wwx gently making fun of his suicidal sibling. like, heā€™s trying to cheer jiang cheng up and give him some hope, and heā€™s also in a good mood because he found a way to save his brother. but, knowing about the golden core reveal, heā€™s also trying to disguise his own apprehension. hiding everything under his playful persona like before, but itā€™s more feigned than ever.
-hey wwx says yanli and wen ning were hanging out. wouldā€™ve liked to see that
-wwx and wqā€™s relationship is so interesting. I love that she already had the sleeping powder with her. they mustā€™ve gotten thick as thieves during this whole little interlude. the inherent intimacy of trying to save someone elseā€™s life together, and also theyā€™re the only one in on this huge lie youā€™re building together
-ā€œcan you hide the truth the rest of your lifeā€ well he did! he successfully took it to the grave, itā€™s not HIS fault he got woken back up!
-my sister also pointed out that wei wuxian probably wasnā€™t expecting his life to be much longer! i donā€™t think he really expected to walk away from the golden core transfer, and i wouldnā€™t be surprised if he had been passively suicidal this whole time.Ā 
-wwx drugging yanli is legitimately incredibly awful. itā€™s in character and I understand why he does it but. itā€™s fucked up. itā€™s fucked up!
-they found the cutest child in the world to be baby wwx huh
-Ah yanli really started calling him a-xian from the moment she met him huh ;_;
-god this flashback is just unspeakably cute
-wwx thinks his sister will be angry with him when she realizes what happened, but jc disagrees and says she never would. itā€™s interesting, because i think wwx is always expecting, in the back of his mind, for people to be angry at him, even those who have shown him unconditional love like shijie (itā€™s the abuse). on the other hand...I think jyl should get to be angry about this, tbh.Ā 
-I want to know whether yanli and song lan talked on the way to lanling. and whether she was angry. and what song lan thought then about sacrifices made for a loved one without their knowledge or consent :) and how heā€™s participating in one :)
-ah song lanā€™s surprise when they bow to him is so adorable, sir I love you
-oooof song lan asking them to pass a message to xingchen and not being able to get the words out hits so, so different. I remember the first time we watched this my sister and I thought it was funny because we were like ā€œAWW SONG LAN WANTS THEM TO TELL XINGCHEN HE LOVES HIM BUT HEā€™S EMBARRASSED.ā€ but knowing what passed between them...how could song lan convey the weight of his regret in a few words, through an acquaintance?
Ā -ā€œnone of them cherishes their own livesā€ as usual wq is the only one with common sense. also fits with what i was saying about wei wuxian, but he doesnā€™t have a monopoly on suicidality here. unfortunately.
-this random MEANWHILE IN SUNSHOT interlude is funny, but lwj stepping on the wen flag is so spicy
-wwx telling jc not to be so reckless next time really hits difference too. there cannot be a next time for either of them.
-Itā€™s so obvious this is wq when you know what to look for lol

This little game of one-upsmanship is cute, and itā€™s the only possible way these two know how to flirt. When your primary personality trait is being abrasive, even when you try to make nice itā€™s gonna come out angry.
They would make a very spicy couple, I think. She would know just what to say to get under his skin, and he would have no choice but to fly into a rage. And then the sex would be super hot.

sarah watches the untamed: liveblogging adventures, part seventeen episodes 31, 32, + 33
(aka: everything hurts.)
okay iā€™ve had snacks and put in eye drops so letā€™s see if we can make it through the rest of flashback before my eyes revolt!!
episode 31:
i donā€™t think iā€™ve mentioned it before but i like however it is they do zixuanā€™s hair, with the little braid-thingie on the top in the middle, itā€™s nice n_n
Tumblr media
the lotus look so pretty in their Burial Mounds home!!!!
look seriously wuxian in the Burial Mounds with the remnants of the Wen clan (especially lil Yuan) is just so cute, heā€™s so relaxed, having fun with his lotus, wwx is a GOOD BOY.
WANGJIā€™S LETTER IS SO SHORT HAHAHA idk why but i am amused
okay first of all the scene with Yanli and Zixuan and Baby Jin Ling is adorable and Yanli looks so happy, but also i verbally squeaked outĀ ā€œOH MY GODā€ like four times at this face HE LOOKS SO HAPPY, IS THIS THE FIRST TIME WEā€™VE EVER SEEN HIM SMILE SO BIG? OMG T_______T
Tumblr media
lol at these people gossiping and basically being likeĀ ā€œuh Zixuan wouldnā€™t let the celebration be anything less than over-the-top grandā€ HE IS A PROUD PAPA :ā€™D
ohhhh Wuxian made a special special present for baby Jin Ling!!
uh oh spooky music :(
HOLY SHIT AT WEN NING GRABBING THAT ARROW OUT OF THIN AIRĀ 
but OF COURSE IT HAS TO BE UPPITY JIN THE ASS ugh i wish he would go away
oh dang baby wen ning snapped into Feisty Attack Mode :o
UPPITY JIN, GIVE THE BRACELET BACK >.<
THANK YOU FOR TELLING YOUR UPPITY COUSIN TO SHUT UP, ZIXUAN!!!!!!!!!!!
zixun smashed the bracelet wuxian worked on for a MONTH and i audibly gasped he is an ASSHOLE and he deserves this stupid curse
WEN NING WHAT NO
ohmygodohmygodohmygodwhatnonononononono
yanli being so devastated makes this hurt even more iā€™m sad
all of this hurts so much, i was not prepared for this much pain, iā€™m SAD
iā€™m so distressed
omg no everybody went
first wuxian gets his family taken away, then becomes an outcast that everyone hates, then gets his found family taken away from him too, iā€™m so depressed about everything, this turned so bad so fast ;nnnnnnnn;
and i keep thinking about how happy zixuan was (i took scrEEN SHOTS OF HIS HAPPY FACE) and how excited wuxian was to meet his nephew and iā€™m so SAD, my eyes are watering ;n;
okay guess weā€™ll move forward to what will be yet more pain, iā€™m sure ;; episode 32:
have i mentioned that this hurts bc everything about this h u r t s
wwx alone in the forest crying and hallucinating yanli and being tormented by voices hurts
look i gotta find my joy where i can and i think itā€™s funny that all these people are talking so bad about wwx but canā€™t freaking tell heā€™s standing right behind them but also them saying wen ning and wen qing have been burned to ashes makes it STILL SAD
xichenā€™s little head shake when jin clan leader scattered wen ning and wen qingā€™s ashes and everyone starts chantingĀ ā€˜greatā€™ ;;;;Ā 
oh my god i HATE THIS GUYĀ ā€œeven if you were attacked first and zixun had every intent to kill you, you shouldnā€™t have been brutal and killed someone back! murder is okay but only when we do it!ā€ like dude. DUDE. YOU SUCK.
honestly shout out to wuxian for calling this freaking dude out on his hypocrisy and being likeĀ ā€œoh so yā€™all can kill me whenever you want, but i canā€™t defend myself? cool story bro, youā€™re a dick.ā€
tbh i donā€™t remember who this guy is, just some minor clan leader or something, but he irritates me so much i hope he dies somewhere >.>
wx crying and laughing at the same time hurts
meng yao smiling when jin clan leader says they canā€™t let wx leave alive gives me mild chills, why is squish like this, he keeps doing little things that make me nervous
the way the spooky black smoke/spirits (?) donā€™t attack jiang cheng/his clan ;; i donā€™t care what anyone says, wx is good boy at heart ;; (also love how theyā€™re likeĀ ā€˜quick huddle together like penguins!! theyā€™re not attacking us? cool letā€™s just....stay in huddle. no need to break huddle and help anyone else. stay in huddle. huddle good.ā€™)
wangji!
wangji pleading for him to stop, MY HEART IS GOING TO BREAK
oh god yanli no no no, go back no no no
thereā€™s...another flute player??? oh NO
itā€™s honestly impressive that xichen can fight in that thick overcoat with the super sleeves and heā€™s so fluid while fighting too (we distract from the sad in any way we can okay thx)
YANLI NOOOOOOOO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOO
fyi itā€™s hard to read subtitles through your literal actual tears
iā€™m in pain okay episode 33:
haha haĀ  Ā ha...Ā  Ā  Ā ha................................
Tumblr media
i would like a refund back to times when this show didnā€™t make me cry, please
WUXIAN??? coughing up blood?? DD:
wangji is distraught and so am i
Tumblr media
ā€œLan Zhan. Let me go.ā€ it hurts, this entire scene hurts
honestly the way wangji callsĀ ā€œWei Yingā€ and the distraught look on his face just...have i mentioned that everything hurts
okay weā€™re flashing back to the future now, please let me see sizhui, i need his cute face and healing energy bc i have endured SO MUCH PAIN IN THE LAST COUPLE EPISODES thanks
wangji looks so different without his hair up in the little bun thing on top of his head, not bad different but so different!!!! heā€™s so pretty ;n;
wangjiā€™s unconditionalĀ ā€œyes I believe youā€ ;AAAAAA; <3
BUNNIES!!!!!!!!!!!
oh hello shirtless wangji
SIZHUI MY SWEET ANGEL CHILD every time i see sizhui on screen, i just kinda coo softly at him in my head, i love him
wangjiā€™s hair piece is SO ELABORATE in the present with the front and back/side pieces, i keep staring at it
wuxian and sizhui chit chat time!!
XUE YANG ohhhh theyā€™ve got an idea
sizhuiā€™s lil baby smile at wuxian when wxā€™s likeĀ ā€œheehee finally i wonā€™t be controlled by all these rules!!!ā€ oh sizhui, thank you for your healing energy
wangji and wuxian are so pretty i keep getting distracted and missing part of the subtitles so then i gotta rewind constantly i am a MESS
WUXIAN BEING SO OFFENDED OVER HOW BAD AND INACCURATE THE PORTRAITS OF THE YILING PATRIARCH ARE HAHAHAHAHAĀ 
hi jin ling!
ā€œhe learned all of his father/uncleā€™s defects and none of his motherā€™s strengthsā€ HAHAHAHA
i shouldnā€™t laugh but the FACES WUXIAN MADE when the pupper showed up XDDDDD also Fairy is such a cute pupper omg!!!!!!!

Okay I just switched to the viki translation and OH MY GOD does this make a big difference. Netflix translates wwxā€™s keeping within 2 meters talisman asĀ ā€œbondingā€ orĀ ā€œbindingā€. Viki translates it asĀ ā€œno clothesā€ orĀ ā€œrobe sharingā€. Iā€™m glad I have this extra insight

Untamed rewatch Episode 20
Wei Wuxian is back, and would like Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan to know that heā€™s completely, totally fine, and not torturing people to death to cope or something
-my mom says wen chao is really good at looking crazy lmao
-I GASPED WHEN WWX SHOWED UP WITH THE FLUTE HEā€™S SO HOT
-god I love this music itā€™s so eerie and evocative
-the way itā€™s shown that jiaojiao and wen chao are being tormented by the spirits of people whose deaths they were responsible for...thatā€™s so spicy. shout out to wei wuxian and his deeply twisted, horrific, but powerful sense of justice lmao.
-the scene where lwj and jc investigate all the dead wen cultivators is nice and spooky. I love the horror aspects of this show
-my sister pointed out that when someone tells jc that a woman hanged herself inside the office, he mightā€™ve reacted as he did because he thought it was wen qing :(
-my mom complained about Netflix not translating the seal script on the talismans but my understanding is that itā€™s not language, as such
-oh I forgot about jiang chengā€™s conversation with wen qing here. this is gonna hurt.
-ā€œyou have saved me after allā€ she has more than you know, jiang cheng
-hearing her very deliberately call him sect leader jiang is such a punch in the gut, both cause itā€™s a reminder of the fact that this manā€™s whole family is dead now, and because sheā€™s drawing attention to the political situation that means he canā€™t reasonably help her. I think at this time in his life, jiang cheng really mightā€™ve done everything in his power to protect her and her family, but thatā€™s a narrow window of time, defined by the unstable situation of sunshot, his inexperience as sect leader, and the fact that heā€™s lost so much. once wei wuxian comes back, I think jiang cheng steps more fully into his role as sect leader, until the idea of protecting the wens is unthinkable.
-ā€œyou can save me but you canā€™t save them allā€ fuck this hurts so bad looking forward. another way jiang cheng is shown up by his brother - wei wuxian did manage to save wen qingā€™s family. but it didnā€™t and couldnā€™t last, just as she predicted.Ā 
-ā€œhe bled from all the holes of his headā€ is such a cool and gross thing to say lol
-okay again wen zhuliu is funnier on a rewatch. he hates this so much.
-the problem with the soundtrack here is that you sometimes canā€™t tell whether the flute is meant to be diegetic or not
-god the slowly ratcheting tension of wwxā€™s entrance... *chefā€™s kiss*
-when he starts playing, the background fades into the burial mounds for a few moments, and wei wuxian just smiiiiiles...fucking superb you funky little necromancer.
-love this random ghost lady we never see again
-oh boy. oh man. the first time I watched this show I spent episodes 14-19 yelling variations on HUG YOUR SIBLING GODDAMN IT, so when we got The Hug I broke. I think I may have actually cried.
-oh god, an arrangement of the lotus pier theme plays during The Hug
-just as wwx reaches up (slowly, uncertainly) to return the embrace, jiang cheng pulls away
-ā€œhow could I have been in the burial mounds? no one can survive that placeā€ thatā€™s as close as youā€™re going to get to a cry for help huh
-wei wuxian is so much...stiffer, less relaxed. his movements are more controlled, his gestures less expansive than they were pre-burial mounds. he does a little bit of the brat act when lwj talks to him but it looks artificial. he smiles earnestly when jiang cheng talks to him, but it doesnā€™t last long.
-ā€œas for my temperament, Iā€™m in control of my own mindā€ famous last words, my dude
-this argument is. oof.
-Iā€™m not clear that it wouldā€™ve helped, I donā€™t think wwx trusted him enough, but if lwj could have just said ā€œI care about you and I want you to be okay, I donā€™t think youā€™re in a good placeā€ in so many words...Mm. But he would have to be a very different character. lan zhan is so defined by what he canā€™t say, what he doesnā€™t know how to say, and what he does say that gets misinterpreted because heā€™s expressing himself through the prism of the inflexible rules he was taught. concern on lan wangji looks too much like disapproval for poor neurotic wei wuxian to take it gracefully, and they both suffer for it!
-like, whatā€™s happening here is that to lan zhan, wei wuxian is visibly Not Okay and is using resentful energy, which is fucked up, and jiang cheng is too thrilled over having his shixiong back to really notice. so he points out that resentful energy is really dangerous for the person who uses it, because heā€™s afraid for wei wuxian. and wei wuxian, on a hair trigger because he just barely survived three months of torture and sensitized to anything that even looks like disapproval by his shitty adoptive parents, interprets this as an insult - how dare you think I canā€™t handle this? how dare you see I canā€™t handle this, how dare you see that Iā€™m suffering? and so he gets nasty and cutting, and lan zhan, who iā€™m absolutely sure doesnā€™t understand why wei wuxian is angry with him, gets angry right back. and wei wuxian says the most cruel thing he can:Ā ā€œthis is an internal measure of yunmeng jiang, itā€™s none of your concern.ā€ or, the way heā€™s intending it: i donā€™t care about your opinion and i donā€™t care about you.Ā 
-and lan zhan, unable to deal with it anymore, walks out, which we know he does when heā€™s angry, to go turn the words over in his head. this...honestly gives me autistic lwj feels. heā€™s trying so, so hard to reach out to wwx when thatā€™s a really hard thing for him to do! he has a hard time relating to people! and he gets rebuffed in a way that makes it clear heā€™s failed to be a friend like he was trying to be and he doesnā€™t even know why. (which is not just on him, wwx is Not being forthcoming) and that sure is..an experience. which i have had.
-(iā€™m also imagining he picked up this method of handling his anger from xichen, personally. just walk away, wangji. donā€™t fight, no matter how much someone hurts you, no matter how wrong it feels :ā€™)
-lwjā€™s expression when he listens to them killing wen chao reminds me of the rain scene ._.Ā 
-yanli as a medic feels kind of stereotypical but sheā€™d be good at it
-the way yanliā€™s face changes when she hears wwxā€™s voice...i kind of havenā€™t liked her performance (mostly, i think, because sheā€™s been given so little to do) but this little moment...wow
-my mom really wants to know what happened in the burial mounds! we had a conversation about dizi (wwxā€™s flute) vs xiao (lxcā€™s flute) also because. i looked it up lol. I might make a meta post since thereā€™s some interesting details

so this time around this line really hit me because like. I mean, I know Iā€™ve been writing a lot (in fic) about Jiang Chengā€™s Super Complicated Wei Wuxian Feelings, and how he struggles with the fact that he still loves Wei Wuxian even when he would really not like to, and here itā€™s like - heā€™s both saying why donā€™t I? why canā€™t I?Ā 
and like, okay, I donā€™t know what the line actually says not in translation, but based on this subtitle (and on Netflix, itā€™s the same), itā€™s not justĀ ā€œdonā€™t I have the right to hate you?ā€ butĀ ā€œwhy am I not able to hate you?ā€
and just. ouch.

but it isnā€™t as easy as all that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This question just brings up all the frustration thatā€™s still eating Lan Wangji alive, and he stalks off without answering. Was that the reaction Lan Xichen was going for? (A moment ago, heā€™s taken note of how tightly Lan Wangji is clutching his sword.)
Either way, his stalking off in itself is an answer. And Lan Xichen knows it means something is about to change for his brother, and probably in a good way.
Tumblr media
That is the face of a man who has poked the bear in just the right spot. He may even be a little excited for the change and growth that Lan Wangji is about to experience, painful though it will be.
