foolish trying to explain that his name translates to stupid but hes not stupid meanwhile baghs and etoiles in the bg

#i can hear the bubbles in each of their voices i’m losing it #baghera and etoiles have such distinct voices #cry laughing at the overlapping no no really completely stupid- complete idiot bro #qsmp

i think one of the reasons i’m so drawn to xue yang (besides Hot. and Vaguely Evil) is that every time i see him i’m staring at an alternate universe wei wuxian. he and wwx are absolutely each other’s ‘what could have been’ and watching them interact is so fascinating

#you can so clearly see how despite beginning in the same situation their paths diverged so early on in life #and then we get into the nurture vs nature debate #i’m willing to argue a bit of both here #wwx is so fundamentally justice oriented and we see what lengths he will go to to defend that #literally with his life #i don’t think you could ever change that but i do think the (limited) care of the jiangs certainly shaped him #xue yang seems so fundamentally drawn to cruelty #but it’s hard to see where the pain of abandonment and thirst for revenge separates from his nature #i think he would have always been interested in cruelty i think that aspect of him cannot be changed #if he just wanted revenge he would have stopped at harming those who abandoned him #yet he continued to extremes and murdered entire clans seemingly for fun #i would argue even if he had a loving upbringing that innate cruelty would have still manifested itself somehow #HOWEVER #xue yang with a loving upbringing is still harmful but certainly not to the extent he is without it #i see that version of him as a more twisted wwx type who is into experimentation but ultimately is drawn back to society by his loved ones #they are so fundamentally opposed in their values #and yet on some level they are both that scared abandoned child #mdzs #the untamed #cql #wei wuxian #wei ying #wwx #xue yang #xy #cql meta #the untamed meta #i love 2 am philosophy

dare i say that xue yang surviving the 2v1 against wei wuxian and lan wangji was kinda,,, he’s just kinda,,, bear with me,,,

#HE’S HOT OKAY #i love a deranged man with slut strands out #mark me down as scared AND h*rny #mdzs #the untamed #wei wuxian #cql #wei ying #wwx #lan wangji #lan zhan #lwj #xue yang #xy

lwj dual wielding bichen and xxc’s sword then wwx pulling up for the 2v1 against xue yang dare i say hottest couple alert

#THEYRE HOT!!!!! #integral part of their characters is 99% of the world thirsting over them 24/7 #the other 1% are related to them #i too would have wwx ranked as number one on the most eligible bachelor’s list #they were so real for that #mdzs #wei ying #the untamed #wei wuxian #wwx #cql #lan wangji #xue yang #lwj #xiao xingchen #xxc #lan zhan

#SONG LAN I WILL AVENGE YOU #and immediately get distracted bc xue yang is hot BUT I’LL TRY #the untamed #cql #xue yang #xy #song lan #xiao xingchen #xxc #mdzs

why must one so gorgeous be such a conniving little bitch </3 @ xue yang

#this is a xue yang callout post #the pain on song lan’s face is heartbreaking #i fear i am less and less a member of the xy defense squad #he will forever be one of the most gorgeous men in this show #but holy shit #he is deranged #and i’ve fallen out of my deranged men era #for now give it a week and i’ll be in love with him #mdzs #the untamed #cql #xue yang #xy

“special grass” makes so much more logistical sense than my original thought which was. some poor lan junior’s weekly task is to make “protection” talismans and chase down each rabbit and stick a paper on them to make sure each rabbit is sufficiently protected

i choose to believe that the cloud recesses rabbits are immortal and i will not be told otherwise

Imagine you're Lan Xichen. You've spent the past decade+ worrying about your younger brother who, according to your own perspective on things, fell wildly in love with an evil heretic cultivator, kinda betrayed your sect for him, got punished within an inch of his life by your elders, and spent subsequent years in mourning when said evil heretic cultivator got killed.

You're starting to think that your brother is never going to get over this, is always going to be holding onto a certain amount of grief and anger and lonesome distance.

But then one day, he brings another guy home! And, yes, this guy is not perfect either. He's also a heretic cultivator and a notorious lunatic, who is in a bad position with your own situationship. But! Maybe Wangji is finally starting to move on? Even if his bad taste persists, this one is at least more manageable. How fortuitous that your stubborn, obsessive brother should finally find a new yeah no that's Wei Wuxian, isn't it?

It's just Wei Wuxian again.

#the only way this gets funnier is if they did it multiple times #imagine every singe time lwj brings a 'new' guy home it's just wei wuxian in some kind of disguise #prev tags < #‘goddammit it’s wei wuxian again’ is one of my fav jokes ever #lxc needs a drink #and then another one when he realizes his own situationship was worse than his brother’s #who he begrudgingly has to admit is genuinely happy #even if it is with wei wuxian

every lan cultivator is responsible for the care of approximately 15 rabbits. lqr’s office has like a hundred rabbits in it at all times. the rabbits follow them around everywhere they go. the juniors sometimes disappear in mountains of bunnies. it’s chaos.

either that or magical immortal bunny birth control

xiao xingchen my favorite ya protagonist. pretty. long dark hair. in a hopeless love triangle with the bad boy and the best friend. looks like a damsel in distress but is surprisingly powerful.

maybe one day i’ll write something about xiao xingchen convincing himself that it’s for the greater good that xue yang is preoccupied with him instead of wreaking havoc on the outside world (he’s definitely only doing it for the greater good, not because he likes it)

an entire episode as a flashback through a character who was introduced 30 seconds ago featuring two characters with a combined 5 minutes of screen time is so ballsy but my god does it work @ the untamed ep 38

#it adds so much depth to the characters #perfectly explains xy’s current day desperation to get wwx to help him #and why he’s playing all his cards #bc what does he have left?? #usually i wouldn’t be a fan of a move like this #they’re so compelling #xuexiao playing house as its own episode is apparently exactly what i needed rn #truly an inspired move by the writers #xiao xingchen #a qing #xue yang #xxc

the special effects in the untamed are garbage (lovingly) and i will defend them with my life

#xue yang so clearly has a finger where it’s supposed to be missing #wwx’s curse mark is literally paint #the puppets spent five minutes in the makeup tent #two makeup palettes and a dream #i’m obsessed what can i say #limits the scary factor when the jumpscare is a girl with white contacts and some face paint #god i love this show #mdzs #cql #the untamed

[soph-skies]

xue yang’s ‘what the fuck’ reaction to waking up to a blind xiao xingchen, his mortal enemy, taking care of him and a random girl (a-qing my beloved) berating him for not being nice enough to said mortal enemy is absolutely sending me

#he then proceeded to play house for the next six-ish years #he craved affection so much he would give up anything to have his little doll house back #their dysfunctional family dynamic is giving me so much brainrot #mdzs #the untamed #a qing #xue yang #cql #xy #xxc #xiao xingchen

i like to imagine that wwx is getting the same cinematic angles of the a-qing flashback that the viewers are getting even though he’s meant to be seeing through her eyes

#the cinematic zoom to the yi city sign is what really got me #like girly didn’t even look at that #he’s a magical girl he can go a little meta #idk why it’s so funny to me #wei wuxian #mdzs #wei ying #a qing #wwx #cql #the untamed

[soph-skies]

i am deeply obsessed with a-qing and xiao xingchen’s relationship and i am literally on the first scene of them together. my babies

#the way she immediately gives herself up by calling him white clothed brother while she’s supposed to be blind #actually hilarious #a righteous cultivator and a scammer queen!! #it shouldn’t work but it does #sibling energy is so strong already #i’m preemptively mourning #no way either of them survive this #rip to a couple real ones #mdzs #the untamed #cql #xiao xingchen #xxc #a qing

[soph-skies]

a-qing i have just met you and i immediately love you. scammer queen!!!
