Definitely worth a watch for reversal of gender roles comedy with badass army ladies being awesome and men in touch with their feminine side, with fake-marriage-turn-real marriage.
Fucked up that these c-dramas on a shoestring budget like #TheUntamed and #OhMyGeneral had way better set design, costume design, and writing than Disney's 200 MILLION DOLLAR GARBAGE
THIS IS WHAT WE GOT INSTEAD, BY THE WAY

will never be over how xue yang gives nie mingjue this "hey daddy ;)" look when nmj first looks at him and then lets his gaze linger all the way down nmj's entire body until roughly belt-height.
and yet, so few fics of this pairing on ao3. my creys
I mean, all his faces when he looks at NMJ (even when threatened with death) are just...
So my Spotify randomly decided to show me this chinese pop song... 🤣 the chorus is adorable - “You are you are my little apple”. It’s upbeat and #wangxian as hell
Why do a lot of translations/fanfics keep saying 'this one'? Never seen that in English subs/ translations in my life - is it something the ER translation does? What’s the chinese equivalent? I get 'this disciple' / ‘this gentleman’ 这名弟子/ 这位公子or another noun. I’m confused
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?"
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"
I have a lot of emotions about my #CQL / #TheUntamed stan mother - a thread
First of all, she's a 60 something, chinese, conservative, boomer lady. Growing up, she was very anti-queer. She still doesn't know about me. I don't tell her. She's a lot like Madam Yu (and unfortunately I turned out somewhat like Jiang Cheng), so you can imagine my childhood.
I remember having an argument about whether being gay was inherent or a choice with her and the shouting match that ensued. She can tolerate them as a broad concept of "these are people who exist elsewhere" but in her own culture, community or family, that would be unacceptable.
