An Untamed Sideblog

I can't be a Nie Huaisang apologist because he has nothing to apologize for 😐

brothers (gif version of this post by @br-disaster)

[id: the first gif is of nie huaisang from episode 35 of the untamed. the second gif is on nie mingjue from episode 23. both gifs show them from the shoulders up, looking toward the left and blinking as they turn to someone on the right. end id.]

so Qinheng-jun, Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen were all faced with basically the same choice right. Person you love has killed/attempted to kill Lan sect members, according to the rules of justice they deserve to die for this. what do you do.

Qinheng-jun takes the shitty middle road. Protects this person from death but doesn't let them go free.

His brother raises his sons. We can assume they are constantly told, don't be like your father. If you are ever in this situation, take the righteous path.

It happens to Lan Wangji. He doesn't take the righteous path. He goes far further than his father. Prevents the murderer from being captured, injures his relatives himself to defend them. He is horribly punished for it, it's the worst thing that has ever happened to Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren, and it doesn't even work, Wangji's beloved still dies. Clear object lesson for Lan Xichen. This is the only, the greatest mistake Wangji has ever made. Lan Xichen can never, will never, make it himself.

Of course he would be thinking about it, after Wangxian bring their suspicions to him. Of course that's what's behind his conversation with Wei Wuxian about Lan Wangji and their parents. Of course he has to be trying to psych himself up about it, from the return of the Cloud Recesses pass to the final confrontation in the temple.

Even Wangji is reminding him that he knows what he has to do. And yet he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, he'll take any other option, please-

and yes, he's tricked into it, but how much can he hide behind that when in his heart he'd already made his choice? He passes the test that his father and brother failed. Despite his little indulgences and loopholes, he is a good Lan. He can't be anything else.

Imo all of the peak lords have a single defining characteristic that when removed makes them comedically unrecognizable, the only exception being Shang Qinghua.

Shen Qingqiu- the huadian

Yue Qingyuan- his fat fucking eyebrows

Mu Qingfang- the mustache

Qi Qingqi- her signature red lipstick

Liu Qingge- the iconic beauty mark

Wei Qingwei- his nasty old apron

Shang Qinghua is the only one who is recognizable in all forms— ironic because he is a spy. He cries 5000 tears about this daily.

Only the transmigrators can recognize someone with their special trait missing, and find it endlessly infuriating and baffling that no one else can.

[confuzing]

Yue Qingyuan turns up at a Peak Lord meeting after an ...incident.

Liu Qingge:

Breakdown of what kind of bad boss the sect leaders are:

Lxc: nonprofit ed who got promoted way too young with no management experience who is excellent at executing the mission and whose heart is in the right place but bless his heart you would not put him in charge of a pet rock because the pet rock would die. Gets away with an incredible amount of dysfunction because he's really nice. The person in charge of operations is g-d's strongest soldier and whatever they are getting paid it's not enough.

Nmj: ex military blue collar union guy. Thinks he's very fair and moral and thinks he runs a tight ship because he whips out drill sergeant stuff when people aren't acting right, meanwhile the amount of hazing going on would shame a british prep school. Confuses "yelling at staff" for "addressing the problem." If you're bringing problems with your coworkers to him then you're the one at fault. Man up and work harder. Does inspire big loyalty though.

Jiang Fengmian: checked out head of a family business who swears *he's * not the one bringing his family problems to work, it's his family doing that (he is absolutely doing that). Always says he's going to give people bonuses and always forgets. Actively jeopardizing the business with the family shit he refuses to deal with. Lets his kids and wife terrorize staff and then at most is like "now now, see this is why I can't finalize a succession plan."

Jin Guangshan: do I even need to say it.

Wen Ruohan: fully insane and delusional tech ceo who genuinely believes that like. If they don't build a superintelligence on the moon then the libs will win. Basically peter Thiel.

Wei Wuxian: startup nutcase. Sends you 10 emails for immediate reply at 3am. Misses your scheduled check in because he just HAD to try his new idea Right Now. Ethics and testing are for people who won't be remembered by history. Eats your lunch out of the fridge even when you lable it.

Jiang Cheng: he's on 30 under 30, his org is tight, they are famous for getting things done and done well, but nobody who works there smiles and its because boss man has never said a single nice thing about anyone's work and is always pissed off. Regularly makes staff cry by just saying mean shit. Sadly, he does not mean any of it and doesn't understand why turnover is so high. He does pay really well and the perks are great but is that enough to make up for him taking everything personally and making everything personal?

Jin Guangyao: look i know I am not an unbiased observer but I do think he was a really really good boss ok. Knowledgeable about all aspects of the operation, knows everyone's name and personal details, patient and accommodating. However it is really hard to get him to fire someone even when they are obviously and persistently terrorizing everyone else, which does cause a lot of problems and is very very frustrating to work for because you just wind up having to put up with xue yang despite his hr file being a mile long because boss man feels really bad about firing people. Except for that one intern but that's Very Confidential :). Everyone is shocked when the FBI raids the office and even more shocked when its about him having used company resources to cover up a murder.

@sweetpollyolliver is so correct

"There was a portrait on the offering table, the ink still wet, obviously just finished. In the portrait was a youth in white robes and a golden mask, a sword in one hand and a flower in the other, his beauty exquisite and unparalleled."

[grelinhoquino]

I firmly believe that if there were a Yao who cursed men to bear children only to suffer like women do, Jiang Cheng would react with something like "are u telling me i could have an heir without an arranged marriage???".

Yao: Dare to attack me and i will deform your bodies so that you can breed child—.

Jiang Cheng: ✋ It's a deadly curse?

Yao:

Yao: No?

Jiang Cheng: Side effects? Health risks? Contagious?

Yao: ???? You will have a functional uterus.

Jiang Cheng: Forever?

Yao: Yeah?

Jiang Cheng: Well... okay i can take the risk.

Jiang disciples: THE WHAT.

EXTRA

Yao: You will still need sperm to get pregnant.

Jiang Cheng: That's true, the hard part will be finding someone who wants to spend a night with me.

Disciple: I VOLUNTEER I HAVE JIANG BLOOD I AM YOUNG, AND I WILL SERVE YOU FOR ALL MY LIF—.

2Disciple: Don't pay any attention to him, he has asthma and is allergic to nuts, HOWEVER I AM—.

A chill ran down the spine of the young leader of the jin sect and a hoarse ringing sounded in the ears of Wei Wuxian and Lan Xichen.

A couple people requested SVSSS but this was most inspired by texting @chaoticmitochondria about Xuan Su (I need YQY to get truth cursed WAY MORE)
