#Untamed rewatch

[jinkx-monsoon-season]

Started my rewatch - and look at them! These two so obviously haven't spoken for 16 years 🥺

Doing an Untamed rewatch with a friend, and we’ve reached Guanyin temple. A lot of the shots of XiYao after Mingjue’s body has been discovered have an interesting quirk. Nie Huaisang is often framed between the two of them. Like he’s splitting the two up.

There’s something so funny about Wei Wuxian saying “I see, you like Mianmian!” to Lan Zhan while wangxian.mp3 is playing in the background

[tododeku-or-bust]

Ahhh Jiang Fengmian.

Because how you tell your own two kids not to cry, and then get my ass and say "remember to take care of a-Cheng and a-Li" 😭

Like on the one hand, it shows that he thinks Wei Ying got stronger fiber than them. But on the other hand damn, I'm a scared, hurt kid bout to lose everything too 😭 specially after Madame Yu's mean ass 😭

Not a day goes by where I don't think about how Sizhui is the embodiment of the Lan principles despite not being Lan by blood, exactly how Wei Wuxian was the embodiment of the Jiang principles despite not being a Jiang by blood. God I forgot how tragic this show was.

The meet cute! And - FUCK. ME. Look at Wei Ying, look at this baby face, he looks so young, so happy to meet a new friend🥺🥺

And a new friend is a sweet gloomy teen - who of us wasn't friends with one, who of us wasn't one ourselves? 🥺🥺

And while we’re talking about my rewatch of the Untamed, I find the other sects’ reaction to the battle in which Wen Xu lost his life to be really interesting. A lot of them are a little disturbed at how many dead bodies are there, how they’ve just been left to rot, and how Wen Xu’s head is just...there. It implies that, when it comes to revenge, Mingjue has gone overboard. On one hand, it presages the fact that in the next episode, when we’re reintroduced to Wei Wuxian, he’s also ready to go overboard. It also kinda mirrors the fact that when Huaisang sets his mind to vengeance, he will go overboard as well. 

Or maybe I’m just reading into things too much.

I love Nie Huaisang’s introduction. WWX saw this kid sneak a bird into class and immediately went “oh this guy’s a troublemaker, we’re gonna be friends”

[canary3d-obsessed]

The previous problem has been solved, but new problems have appeared.

Ι love this scene so much because LWJ sees a lantern that looks like the one WWX had drawn for him in the past and he really wants WWX to see it. However, he is too shy and reserved to shout to him to catch his attention so he just stands there for a while, just waiting patiently to be noticed Q^Q. And WWX indulges him and suggests they buy it because he knew LWJ wouldn't just get it for himself :''(( AND then LWJ carries it around before giving it to LSZ to keep (that is so dad of him).

Not to mention that the bunnies lantern is a very significant item to LWJ. It wasn't only the first gift he received from his crush ever (in CQLverse) but it is also symbolic of the promise they had made to protect the weak together and do what is right. On top of everything, LWJ is showing his vulnerable side here by admitting that he indeed likes rabbits (he couldn't beat the allegations hahaha).

Anyway, this is peak screenwriting to me.
