IS THIS A MONSTER?
[id: three gifs of wei wuxian from ‘the untamed’, predominantly red, and with the quote: ‘what makes me terrible, truly? / the fire / or what i choose to do with it?’. they show: wei wuxian on the roof at nightless city — confronting the clans, gathering resentful energy at nightless city during the sunshot campaign, and speaking to the jin at the qiongqi path labour camp.
the caption reads:
IS THIS A MONSTER?

#yunmengduodays2019 day 2: Promise
The unfulfilled promise
Therefore, if you could have ever been nice to your senior brother, to show you two had a solid relationship, or could have been even a bit more lenient to prevent others from sowing discord, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
whoever decided to turn daisy bell into a spooky dookie creepypasta song is fucking evil. that computer was brave enough to sing us a delightful little song and you do THIS to him? thats hatsune mikus grandpa dude. fuck you
Miku family reunion
for today's lucky 10,000, here's the song that OP is talking about
it is genuinely sweet and charming and I'm so glad to have googled it
The meme is funny, but Miku's grandpa (the IBM 7094) actually looked like this:
He took up 2,000+ square feet and helped with NASA's "Saturn" flights.
Look how big and clunky he is. He had to work really hard to sing that song ;_; please appreciate him.
if you want to feel emotions here’s a combination of the IBM704 and Hatsune Miku singing Daisy Bell as a duet
have we talked about how funny it is that the ugly yiling laozu portraits are in qinghe?
nie huaisang brings his friend back from the dead and then has a guy roam his town spreading rumors that said friend is ugly, just in time for him to come visit
nobody is doing it like him
MDZS Audio Drama Listening Guide
AKA Lace has listened to the Audio Drama an unholy amount of times and might as well put her knowledge to good use
(Suibian Subs) (Episode Guide by pumpkinpaix) (Purchasing guide for iOS)
NOTE: This is my own, personal opinion on what’s the preferable order to watch the MDZS Audio Drama extras.
The AD is by far the most accurate adaptation we have, and not only it follows the novel 1:1, it adds quite a lot of content that had only been left implied or left off-screen in the original text. However, there are also some events that do happen in the novel, but had to be put aside in an extra episode, either because of time restraints or for the sake of pacing. So, I’ve tried to set up this list to compensate it! The order is either based on at which point we learn such events in the novel, or if this event isn’t in the text, then it’s based on what I believe the best time to listen to the extra would be.
If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of extras and don’t know where to start, hold my hand and i’ll show you the way (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و

So, you guys who follow me know that gui dao is evil TM is one of my most despised fanon of all time. I have written my fair share of metas and vent posts about it.
I hate the fanon idea that it is a corrupting force, a voice whispering in Wei Wuxian's ear and sending him over the edge. And often enough, it is either resentful energy as a whole that is placed at blame for the tragedies during the Burial Mound arc - as opposed to the sects who decided that letting innocents live was unrighteous apparently - or, there is another culprit. The Yin Hufu.
The Yin Hufu, that corrupts Wei Wuxian through whispers in the ear about death and vengeance and revenge. The Yin Hufu that is almost sentient with the cries of the dead souls, with its greed for violence.
The Yin Hufu that is also, by the way, completely fanon.
I always assumed the reason I disliked that fanon trope really circled back to my dislike for casting Gui Dao as the enemy and for the generally fuckery that CQL did by actually making it a corrupting force. But there was always something else that bothered me about it, and I recently figured out exactly what, thanks to my rambling about the Sentient Weapons AU idea.
See, there is supposed to be some semblance of sentience to the spiritual weapons in the MDZS universe. Suibian's loyalty and dare I say, love for Wei Wuxian meant that it locked itself away, refusing to let anyone but its chosen master wield it. The sword that would not answer to anyone answered the call of the tiniest sliver of Wei Wuxian's soul. Chenqing, despite not being used for thirteen years, is instantly a better weapon in the hands of the man who carved it, is the powerful flute capable of great feats in the hands of its master.
During the CR arc, Lan Wangji reprimands Wei Wuxian when he assumes that he is being disrespectful to his weapon by allowing it to be called 'whatever' one pleases, until Wei Wuxian clarifies that, no, his sword is quite literally named 'Whatever'.
Spiritual Weapons are meant to have some semblance of sentience.
And the Yin Hufu does not have that sentience.
It is a cold hard weapon, to be wielded by anyone as they please. It has no allegiance, no loyalty. It is a weapon of devastating powers, and it has no sentience at all - it simply is. Wei Wuxian realizes this the very first time he uses it, and once he realizes this, he sets about neutralizing it as best as he can. He ensures that it can be of no threat, and short of destroying it - which by the way, fucking killed him - he does his best.
The Yin Hufu is not terrifying because it is some corrupting force that will entice you to slaughter millions - it is terrifying because by possessing it, anyone, can slaughter millions. And in a universe like MDZS, where much of the gentry are salivating for power like that, it is a dangerous, dangerous weapon indeed.
Still not over the absolute poetry of Wei Wuxian choosing to save the clans during the aftermath of the second siege at the Burial Mounds - the very place the clans set up one hundred and twenty one stone beasts upon the Burial Mounds, fearing his vengeance should he ever come back to life.
Never over the absolute beauty of the Cultivation World trying to paint Wei Wuxian according to their own twisted morals and Wei Wuxian - kind and righteous and good - refusing to be the monster they make him out to be.
The slaughter of the Wen Remnants and Wei Wuxian's death is an incredibly good tragedy - It is heart-wrenching, horrific, and is arguably the biggest subversion in the book.
And the reason it works, the essence of what makes it such a good tragedy is that there seem like millions of moments where a single character could have made a different choice and everything could have ended up better but also, at the end of it, nothing could ever really stop this terrible end - it will happen, it is inevitable.
And it comes down to the other characters and the choices they make - the choices they have the power to make. At a million points starting right from the moment Wei Wuxian interrupts the Jin Banquets, asking for Wen Ning, every person in power had the opportunity, ability and moral obligation to do something - to do better. And not one of them takes the chance to.
Jiang Cheng could have chosen to protect the Wens, grant them a place to live and called upon his life-debt as an excuse to the other sects. Nie Mingjue and Lan Xichen and any other sect leader could have looked into the matter, investigated beyond the gossip they shared in the golden halls of Koi Tower. Jin Guangshan could have chosen not to instigate the rumors and chase after power at the cost of human lives. They all could have done better, listened better, when they slaughtered two innocents and then swore to slaughter more.
But would they have?
Jiang Cheng, who wielded hatred like a sharpened blade, who was so driven by his raging need to win over Wei Wuxian, who cared little for debts when they did not benefit him? Nie Mingjue, who thought every Wen as reprehensible and criminal as Wen Ruohan himself? Lan Xichen, who was willfully blind and more bothered about holding up the ridiculous charades of politics than about human lives? Jin Guangshan, a man so wretched and power-hungry, that he cared not for his own son's death beyond how it may serve his agenda?
No. They would not have.
Would it have been different if it was Jin Zixuan leading the Jins, not a pinnacle of morality, but a nevertheless good man? If Jiang Yanli, who loved her shidi and offered a fierce corpse soup with her own hands led the Jiangs? If Nie Huaisang, who knew better than to listen to rumors, led the Nie? If Lan Wangji, who loved Wei Wuxian and sought him out. and saw why his love could not leave the path he chose and respected it, led the Lan?
Perhaps. Perhaps.
The tragedy of it all lies in this. It was not an impossible thing to ensure that the horrors would not happen - but the choices to be made to ensure it were in the hands of precisely the people who would never make those choices.
The ancient Greek playwrights used to have a saying, 'Character is Fate'. And this is what they meant.
These characters could have changed what happened. These particular characters would not have.
Wei Wuxian really got an arrow shot in between two of his lungs ribs, pulled it out, and then tossed it back and fucking killed the guy who shot him - If that's not fucking terrifying (and more than a little awe-inspiring) I don't know what is.
What would Wei Wuxian canonically wear at each point of his life: A Self-Indulgent Analysis
The novel isn’t very descriptive at all when it comes to WWX’s outfits. All we know is that he began wearing black after he crawled out from the Burial Mounds and didn’t stop since, but even his black outfits can tell a story so!! Let’s see what we’ve got (fun fact: not even the red ribbon is mentioned! only as an easter egg that showed up in the incense burner extras two years later!! buuut i’ll be considering it canon here because it’s fitting and also who cares)
This is analyzing how each adaptation dolls him up with and which one had the best idea according to me, based on fully unbiased points such as “i like it” or “i think it’s neat”, or even “this doesn’t make any sense why is this here?”
i’m really just here to show my thought process of why i like each of these outfits for these events and have no intention of “convincing” anyone of anything, so if you’re wondering “Hey op do you take constructive criticis–” no i do not, let’s go
WARNING….. LONG, VERY LONG POST
