MDZS sideblog | 30s, he/him

I heard Da-ge was ripped.

Like, I heard that Da-ge was totally shredded. (Drama fans were robbed of the scene where Wei Wuxian pats his abs admiringly!)

Sadly, we did not really get to see Fierce Corpse Nie Mingjue in the Untamed either, so I made a version of him to try to see what he’d look like. 

The gory versions under the cut (i.e. Da-ge’s sewn back on head.)

“This is...”

Nie Mingjue | Ep. 22

[untamedconnotations]

These two kept making bloopers because they couldn’t get their minds out of the gutter. For a long time, fans familiar with this BTS clip couldn’t figure out what’s so funny about the idiom LWJ used. The phrase 定有蹊蹺 is nothing out of the ordinary:

“There must be some misdirection.”

Now the mystery’s solved: earlier this year, someone finally realized that the dialog preceding that sentence could be taken as off-color innuendoes if you tried really hard. They so did try.

At first I thought it was because this idiom 定有蹊蹺 (ding you qi qiao) sounded a bit like 定有雞翹 (ding you ji qiao), a dick reference, and it turns out I wasn’t too far off. Usually it’s hard to translate jokes, but in this case it just happens that a similar-sounding phrase in English exists:

“There must be some missed erection.”

is there anything quite like realizing that strict warrior clan leader nie mingjue is a sensitive jock who cries whenever he has an emotion, and that his delicate little brother who makes a scene whenever hes mildly inconvenienced is absolutely stone cold and none of the people who pride themselves on reading emotions realize hes full of unrelenting murderous rage for like a solid decade. kings both of them

Let’s just take a moment to remember that LXC thought the possibility of WWX coming back from the dead after 13 years, enter the body of another person, and pretending to act crazy was MORE LIKELY than LWJ liking another person…and he was correct. LOL

[atlasmaggot]

can we talk about how the first thing nie “big brother” mingjue did when meeting wwx and jc was tell them hes proud of them. could u imagine being 16 and having the biggest man youve ever seen say that to u. id never leave

I was thinking earlier about how none of the top five cultivator gentlemen know how to talk to women, except for arguably son-of-a-servant bisexual disaster Wei Wuxian and my-forehead-ribbon-is-sacred Lan Xichen, and as I laughed I realized. Cultivator ladies know what they’re about. This isn’t a list of hottest men, it’s a list of pretty men who are nice to look at but will leave you the fuck alone. (JIN GUANGSHAN THIS IS AT YOU.)

Like, Lan Xichen knows how to talk to women in a very professsional and cultured way. He’s very attentive to boundaries. Wei Wuxian will be annoying and cross verbal boundaries, but he’s like a puppy. Throw a perfume satchel or a loquat at him and he’ll skip away grinning to bother a man (Lan Wangji). The others in the top five would rather get stabbed in the foot than talk to, let alone harrass, a woman they find attractive.

Rewatching the untamed for the third time and,,,, nmj calls lwj "wangji" which:

is a weird way to address people I think

the only other person who does this is lxc which is maybe a little less weird bc they're brothers

nmj doesn't strike me as a person who randomly ignores the etiquette so there has to be a reason why he calls lwj "wangji" instead of "lan wangji" or "lan er-gongzi" or his title or whatever.

so he obviously did not come up with it himself

seen as lxc is the only other person who does this, I'd wager nmj took it up from him

no-one else calls lwj "wangji"

and you know what's really interesting? lwj doesn't correct nmj. lwj is obviously a very polite person but it's not like he wouldn't let people know they've done something he doesn't like (he did say "you're not qualified to talk to me" to su she). and even if he didn't feel like telling nmj that he's not okay with it, it would still show! he has an expressive face

and yet, lwj is okay with it

"are you going to tell me what you think is the reason behind all this?" I hear you asking. of course!

LXC AND NMJ ARE CANONICALLY BOYFRIENDS AND LWJ SUPPORTS THEM THAT'S THE REASON

This changeover really does a good job of showing how the actors are shown to be different looking in the pre and post-timeskip sections of the story. Obviously most of the characters won’t have changed that much physically since cultivators have slowed aging, which works well with a direct filming schedule. But they manage to show the passage of time well - they really sell that over a decade has passed. There’s the obvious tells like the differences in clothing/accessories, ofc, but also stuff like the makeup to highlight a more mature facial expression, the way the actors carry themselves, and the way the costumes are set up to make the characters a bit older/broader is also good.

Nie Huaisang in the novel: When you’re from a family as big as mine, we just call everyone auntie, uncle, and cousin, no matter how distantly related they are.

The novel: There are only two named Nie.

Fatal Journey: Fuck that!

Fatal Journey: There are three named Nie.
