I'm thinking about Jin Zixuan's reluctance to relinquish Suihua during the Wen indoctrinations, and of Jin Ling adamantly refusing to let go of the very same sword nearly two decades later.

I'm still not over that it's called 岁华 "The passage of time"

I think one of the biggest sells for mdzs is the fact that one of the characters is really mad about being gay but not because of internalized homophobia it's just because hes a hall monitor and his crush is the class clown

[ID: A gifset of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian from The Untamed shown from the shoulders up. In the first two gifs, it’s nighttime in QiongQi Path and pouring rain. The first gif shows Lan Wangji with a tear tracking down his cheek. White text in all caps reads, “I call you,” and over Wei Wuxian’s determined face in the second gif the text reads, “and you don’t come.” The second two gifs take place in Nightless City, where Lan Wangji attempts to call Wei Wuxian back from the cliff’s edge. Lan Wangji’s face in the third gif is open and frightened. Wei Wuxian in the last gif has blood smeared over his chin, and he’s crying. He looks hopeless. Over these gifs the text reads, “I love you, and you don’t come.” /End ID]

I think that something that is good to remember about the "Jin Guangyao vs. Nie Huaisang conflict" is that the two of them are not playing chess against each other. Jin Guangyao is playing chess against maybe 80% of the cultivation world while Nie Huaisang is sitting next to him eating his pieces when he's not looking.

[july-19th-club]

favorite costume detail from the untamed belongs (big surprise) to nie huaisang, whose wardrobe gets darker and plainer and more nie-like the further into the story he gets, so that he starts out in gentle ivories and then moves to stiffer silvery-greys as sunshot takes place, and when we meet him again in the present he is dressing like the longtime clan leader he now is, with sweeping sedate overrobes and subtle detail in dark serious colors, except for scenes in which, as we learn, he’s deliberately projecting incompetence or naivete: then he’s back to the soft cream shades. until by the time the final showdown in guanyin temple takes place, he’s in full gunmetal grey, no pattern, and he is dressed almost exactly like mingjue did on an everyday basis. it reinforces how in his own, less-direct but no less effective way, he emulates his family. he’s not a soldier, but he’s still a nie, he has a fight to win here, and by god he’s dressed for it. and then at last, in his final appearance, he gets some color and pattern back again. it’s still on the darker side, but we see some muted greens in there,  a bit of dove grey. now that he has done the thing he set out to do, he can start to reclaim the older parts of himself. that cool tessellated fabric is the most distinct pattern we ever see him in, it has a lot of contrast; it’s a visual shorthand for a person who is something of a mosaic now, with pieces of the person he became and the person he originally was. his costumes track his evolution from quiet, naive artist to heir of a military clan to tactician at the moment of victory to sensible survivor retreating to a quiet life.

i can hear the freezing cold takes on bingqiu already besties

Arguably one of the funniest and best bits about Wei Wuxian in how he totally fits the villain aesthetic and yet is firmly heroic is how his defense on how it’s Not Me This Time twice is just if it was me you would be dead.

Like, hot damn! This guy is actually genuine about it too! He subverts the villain arc but hell if he firmly fits a lot of the tropes people associate with villains. But MXTX is clever to show how this can be a firmly heroic trait.

Wei Wuxian does not mess around. If he needs to take someone out, he does. He is highly empathetic but also turns that into why he knows when people must die because they are too dangerous alive. Understanding does not equal agreement after all.

So yeah, Wei Wuxian is just like so casual about those kinds of things.

Rando: You did blahblahblah to me!

Wei Wuxian: You are still alive, so no it’s someone else.
