Demonic cultivation technology advanced this much?! and nobody told Lan Wangji??!

#the untamed #wei wuxian #lan wangji #ah yuan #wangxian #lwj couldn't completely discount the idea that it may be possible for the yiling patriarch #to invent male pregnancy

OH. Because the sun is the closest star to Earth. And  if you look up to the skies and see all the stars, visually, the sun would be the largest star you see.

It’s like that lol, I was confused too when I first watched it. But basically: Main character (Wei Wuxian/Wei Ying/Yiling Patriarch) died. Years later, he lives again, but under a new identity, Mo Xuanyu, because this Mo Xuanyu dude resurrected him (at the cost of his life) to get revenge on those who have wronged him (basically he’s a bastard son of one of the more prominent clans and he got kicked out due to a reason you will find out later, and also he seems to be crazy). 

I’m watching the first episode of The Untamed on Netflix and I’m honestly so fucking confused. I’ve never been so confused while watching a show but I literally have no idea what’s happening...

all right guys, let’s have a conversation about soulmates

because I’m a nerd who majored in ancient China and still can’t let it go

okay so we all know that wangxian invented romance, but let’s talk a bit more about the iconic dialogue in episode 25:

Lan Wangji: 你把我當成什麼人? / What kind of person do you take me for?

Wei Wuxian: 我曾經把你當做我畢生知己 / I had once thought that, in my lifetime, you would be the one who knew me.

Lan Wangji: 現在仍是 / I still am.

I’ve seen various translations of the phrase “畢生知己” as “lifelong confidante” or “soulmate,” and I’m always so torn because these are both fine translations but like, not quite there

He shot up my respect points for him by about 120% for choosing Nami, for choosing Nami before the question actually ended, for repeating her name with certainty and for being cutely excited as he said it.

#xiao zhan #one piece #stampede #nami #not that i don't like the other ladies #they are great too #but i feel like people always misunderstand nami #how her actions deviate from what is actually in the inner depths of her heart #like i thought it was already understood from the arlong park arc #but people keep being tricked by her 'its all about the money' reasons even after that #and i feel like xz actually understands her properly #no matter how much her love for money is her friends are still number 1 but she dont like to show that #not saying that everyone misunderstands her but ive seen a number

#the untamed #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #yunmeng brothers #very tempting idea #VERY #I love the jibes they make at each other so much

[nkzephyr-main]

These are all very good points too. This was the reason that I'm only a bit bothered by the ending as compared to being a whole lot bothered. I like that LWJ is giving WWX space, that LWJ handles a responsibility to the rest of the world, that he chose that himself. From my point of view these are really good things that are happening and I do like that.

The bit that stuck to me though, as I have commented to the OP of that post, because I also do agree with them in a way, is the Man-Eating Ridge scene. LWJ reluctantly parting ways, and then waiting for WWX outside on the bridge after. It's mostly based on my 1st impression of the ending I guess, but when that happened, I kept thinking back to that scene, and it's basically a feeling I couldn't honestly shake off. But it's just a bit of the whole thing.

I guess my own viewpoint is torn in the middle, but it's to be expected. I think all opinions are great points of discussion and I respect the different views that come into place for this 😊

saw a post talking about how OOC they found the ending of CQL and like… I really didn’t get that? Maybe this is a cultural point, where the whole idea of filial piety & duty, and virtue through filial duty and how that carries over is so strong? Like I grew up in the US but I still absorbed some of the filial stuff through cultural osmosis.

(further discussions. will include spoilers)

But first off, I don’t think it’s out of character for Lan Wangji to “leave Wei Wuxian alone” when ppl are out there still who want to harm WWX because that’s? what LWJ has always been about? He’s there to support WWX and lend him his support, but he’s always respected WWX’s wishes. He never wanted to change WWX (even if WWX read some of his offers pre-death in this less kind way). He knows who WWX is and respects WWX’s free spirit, he never wanted to confine him. Or okay maybe for a hot second he did, but we’re well past the “come back to Gusu with me” point now, that was a whole lifetime ago.

Plus, WWX is capable of defending himself. He may not be as ridiculously strong as he was before, and he sure gets injured, but I think a lot of the times we see in present time are more cases where he gets injured because he’s not willing to go all-out and really fight the person who injures him, or there’s some other reason he has to hold back. He’s not a damsel in distress? So it’s not a matter of “how could LWJ leave him defenseless”; WWX made a choice, and it doesn’t happen to align with LWJ’s choice, but they both understand that because a core value they share is that crucial second part of their lantern promise - following their conscience.

I just feel like CQL writes a very good and actually very mature relationship with WangXian, where they’re individual people with individual lives and they each understand and respect that, and they’re continually choosing to come together and make their relationship work.

re: Lan Wangji staying to become Chief Cultivator… I don’t really think it’s a stretch, based on his CQL character arc. We know LWJ has very strong values and a strong sense of justice, but also a strong sense of responsibility. From a very young age, he was helping shoulder some of the burden of being Sect Leader with his brother. And with the cultivation world left in such turmoil as it was at the end of CQL, it… doesn’t not make sense to me that LWJ would step up. He’s not one to shirk responsibilities. (Plus I lowkey think he DOES make sense for the cultivation world to choose as Chief Cultivator, because for all of the talk about how his reputation as Hanguang-Jun would be besmirched by association with WWX, it… never really is? His reputation is a byproduct of his strength of character and a reflection of the strength of his values; it’s not something that he puts additional effort into cultivating (hah). As such, who else to turn to as a bastion of light and hope in a dark time?) This is where I wonder if it’s more a cultural point; I may not actively practice “collectivist culture” values, but I still feel like I get it, in that the needs of an individual do not outweigh the needs of a community.

I think I actually would have disliked it if LWJ *had* gone with WWX that first time; it would have left me unsatisfied because there’d be a sense of something unresolved with the world, of a duty left unfulfilled. Because they’re NOT retreating from the world; they’d still be living in it, and it doesn’t make sense to me that either of them would be satisfied leaving the cultivation world in turmoil and not trying to do anything to help. 

(but I also think for me, LWJ’s decision balances out the changes they made in CQL - changed to show the depths of their relationship given the constraints, which I understand - but which also ended up making a lot of LWJ character-specific points more WWX-centric than the novel or other adaptations)
