what my #CQL stan mother thinks of different ships from #TheUntamed - a thread

#wangxian

1st time: "Why do these two keep staring at each other? Do they have a bromance? Why don't they tell each other?"

Now: "It's very hard to even find a really good friend, if you can find a 知己 zhiji (soulmate) like LWJ and WWX, does it matter if they are same gender?"

#xiyao

Insists it's canon and that they're madly in love. Pointed out the hand-touch scene at CR, the "er-ge, die together with me" scene at Guanyin Temple. "A-yao should just be good, don't do evil, elope with his Xichen and be happy"

Final Verdict: "LXC too good for ah yao"

#xicheng and why it's better than #xiyao

"LXC with JC, at least I can accept. Ah Yao and LXC not matching. JC is open & direct although very explosive while LXC is patient and calm - so good match. With Ah Yao, too scheming and LXC easy for Ah Yao to take advantage of."

so ma, who should A-Yao end up with?

#xueyao/#yaoyang: Match Xue Yang with ah Yao - both just as ambitious and scheming. 天地大乱😂 (great havoc on earth).

#sangyao: Ah Yao and NHS?? Same size 🤣🤣 Quite matching.

and then, she comes out with this #sangxian galaxy brain shit

her: I think NHS has been secretly in love with WY all these years
me: AKDJFLFNFL 证据呢???? (evidence????)
her: gut feeling

#sangcheng

her: Noooooo...he'll be completely bullied by JC
me: ARE YOU SURE NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. NHS very 狡猾 (cunning)
her: NHS plots quietly but JC is a bully / loud and aggressive
me: he 撒娇 (cutesy flirting) very 厉害 (powerful) le
her: Ya lor

[撒娇 (sā jiāo) = to act cute/coy, trying to get attention or be spoiled]

me: he just need to "Jiang-xiong~~"
me: don't underestimate huaisang lolol
her: HS is intelligent loh. he hasn't got the power so he plots and uses his head to get what he needs - so he's clever that way.

#xuexiao

Insisted that "the crazy one (Xue Yang) only stayed with the daozhang (Xiao Xingchen) for so long and tried to bring back his soul because he was in love with him". Didn't buy the "he was such a good guy, I wanted to destroy that for him" routine at all. No one did.

#nielan

"Unfortunately, both too manly - good match like sword brothers but cannot be involved. Both too yang, not enough yin* in the match. Good friends, cannot be an item."

Who has more yin? NHS and A-Yao.

*yin/yang is a tricky concept. yin side = darker/more feminine

#nieyao

Didn't buy it at all, even when I showed her this picture of MY being wifey. She did agree NMJ is very manly and MY is more ladylike, which matches. But she can't get past the whole "JGY kills NMJ (and a bunch of other people)" thing.

#zhuiling/#jinsi vs #zhuiyi/#jingsi

"The most annoying person is JL. Compared to AYuan, he's so childish. The worst match (vomit!!)"

But ma, maybe he needs to be with AYuan to learn from his good example!

"No way"

Ok, who should A Yuan go with?

"Nobody his age except Jingyi"
