Hi, can I ask you about your first experience with danmei, like how you discovered it? Because by the time I found out about it, TUD was already pretty popular here on tumblr whereas when you joined the fandom it must've still been quite a niche interest. I hope you have a nice day and thank you!
So I found MDZS from Yuri on Ice fandom. Basically I saw several people (mostly people who lived in SE Asia) sharing MDZS art and it was just super pretty and unlike anything else I'd seen. I'm a MASSIVE fan of anything gay and historical, and so this historical gay Chinese thing attracted my attention. (Mostly tho it was just the pretty art.)
I saw a pimp post that was like What Is MDZS and it talked about the donghua and the novel and how huge it was getting in China and so I checked out the donghua. I watched the first five eps or so and then went to read the novel because it was recommended to do that so you don't spoil yourself for the novel with the donghua. So I watched the donghua, read the novel (which wasn't complete...it was at ch 100 when I finished it), then finished season 1 of the donghua.
But yeah it was basically sorta like...you like gay anime? There's a Chinese gay anime! But yeah it was very niche and I only followed like a handful of people who were also into it. I remember there was a Youtube video that came up when you googled MDZS for a while that called the donghua "The Chinese Avatar." (As in ATLA)
To be honest I vaguely heard there was going to be a live action version but thought it was going to be really low budget and like amateur?
So I was shocked when I started seeing gifs of The Untamed as the first episodes aired and was like WOW. I still remember the gif of WWX following LWJ and grabbing those ribbon things on his outfit and I just went OMG those actors get the characters SO WELL! And immediately went and started watching. (But Eng subs on Viki were a week behind so I continually was looking at gifs without subs.)
I enjoyed the novel and the donghua a lot but wasn't moved to write for the fandom until I got obsessed with cql as it was airing.
i wish my will to post art hadn’t been crushed by reposters getting more attention than me
EUROS LYN: Did you know before we staged this how this scene was gonna play? DAVID TENNANT: No. I remember thinking this is quite tricky because it’s really out of character actually. You never see the Doctor being self-indulgent like this. JOHN SIMM: You never see him so rattled like this. DAVID TENNANT: Yeah. And selfish. He’s quite selfish right there, only for a moment. JOHN SIMM: He’s being very human isn’t he? DAVID TENNANT: Very human yeah.
yes!! selfish and self-indulgent!! thank you mr tennant
For the new year, I really need to get into being more social because I moved 9 hours away from my hometown and while I have many acquaintances/work friends, my only actual friends are people I knew from home/people they've introduced me to. And I'm not trying to complain because I'm actually pretty lucky since some of those friends and I happened to all move to around the same area so they're only 2 hours from me and I see them decently often but still. Like I need to meet some people where I LIVE
