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. Image
#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"

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. ImageImage
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... ImageImageImageImage

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

One of the lyrics is “turn myself into a candle and light myself to give you light” askdjdkd

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

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.

Did you like the timing of that slap? lol

Also, I swear I muted the audio on the "er-ge, die with me" clip, but I keep hearing JGY say it. Checked the original audio, turned out there was a background hiss at the exact moment he says the word 'si' (die).
I also added a little candy pink tint bc why not
