I recently watched ep 15 of the untamed and like. I knew it was gonna happen. I still cried. A lot. I think it was the acting but still
I honestly love the book 5 cover and inside cover illustrations for tgcf. There's just smth abt it that make my heart warm...just hualian being hualian...the sweeties...
Oh and when I got to Jiang yanli death she was like "this is so depressing. If I was more attached to the characters I mightve cried" and I was like "ya I totally cried"
So I was telling my mom abt the entire mdzs story up to book 5 (cause that's all I've read to) and when I tell her abt yi city and xue Yang she has this horrified look on her face and was like "this is so sad. How to you even read this. It's so sad" and I was like "I promise it gets better" and shes like "I'm very doubtful"
Something that legit shocks me is how many ppl actually have actually like- dumbed Wei Wuxian down. Like how ppl manage to somehow forget how smart he is. I can get it, he does act dumb sometimes, but the key word is act. Because Wei Wuxian did in fact manage to create an entirely new cultivation path. And made inventions so incredibly useful that despite the cultivation world's hatred for him they still used them. Idk it just always makes me sad to see ppl portray him as someone who just goofs around and simps for Lan Wangji. While yes, he does that, but it's not the only thing he does!!
I need to like continue to show my bestie characters from the books I'm reading to get her into them as well because as of right now she's become obsessed with at least one character from each series. Mdzs? Jiang Cheng. Knows nothing abt him but will affectionately call him "purple guy" (accurate) scum villain? Shen Qingqiu and tianlang-jun calling them "fan man" and "the father" respectively. Qjj? Xiao Chiye who has only referred to as "fine man". Works like a charm.
So I was reading tgcf book 5 today and honestly the most shocking thing that has happened so far is that apparently Feng Xin has gotten with a women before. That's weird. Granted I'm not very far in the book yet but still- very jarring, very bizarre
Ive had like the biggest urge to reread mdzs and it so weird cause like...I haven't even gotten the 5th book yet?? Like I'm just so obsessed I'm resorting to like the only form of content I know?? Like???
Here, take these
Also Xie Lian calling Yin Yu average looking to his face was hilarious. Justice for poor Yin Yu
I finally got to reading some of tgcf book 5 and I'm sooo glad I did. Hua Cheng going to save Xie Lian is great but it's also hilarious if you think abt how Hua Cheng basically got dresses up for his crush and learned a new trick just to impress him. Man Hua Cheng is so cool but he's just sooo pathetic for Xie Lian I love him sm. Also him and Xie Lian having a nice romantic stroll as the ceiling caves in? So funny. Especially bc everyone was like "get a room." They're so lovely man
Something that's always kinda peeved me is when ppl forget Wei Wuxian looks nothing like mo Xuanyu. Like it's part of the reason no one really deeply suspected to because why would the evil yiling laozu take a poor, cutsleeve as a host? And wwx wasn't that bad of an actor. It's only bc he kept running into ppl that knew him the most that he was ever suspected.
