you ever think about the fact that nie huaisang's father and brother both died the exact same way — forced into qi deviation via a third party
you ever think about how nie mingjue's obsession with getting revenge for his father's murder might have been foreshadowing for nie huaisang's own obsession with avenging his brother and utterly destroying jin guangyao
you ever think about how nie huaisang is a lot more like nie mingjue than most people realize

After killing nie mingjue jin guangyao called up lan xichen on the phone and said "don't worry er-ge, I just sent him to live with his new and happy family on a big farm where he can chase all the cattle he wants every day :)"

I made my sister watch The Untamed (and she also had prior knowledge because of the amounts of time I rambled about it).
Here are some of her cursed quotes:
Episode 1
*sees Lan Wangji being introduced* “They call him the ass sword man”
Episode 2
*Jiang Cheng wips WWX with Zidian* “Damn step-bro that wasn’t as fun as in bed”
*Flashback to JC “killing” WWX* “Thrust”
*JC talking to disciples of Jiang Clan* “Remember this bitches: tits out, ass out”

So I’m rewatching The Untamed and during the rain scene at Qiongqi path, when they come across Granny Wen, she’s clearly got A-Yuan on her back. Later on, when Wen Ning goes on a rampage to start killing the Jin soldiers, she is shielding his face and has a hand over his ears.
There’s something about that that gets me. This kid’s seen war. He’s suffering in a concentration camp. And yet even so, an adult in his life is trying to keep him from seeing one more horrible thing.
A-Yuan was so, so loved by so many people despite his tragic circumstances.

i’mmm thinkin bout lan wangji. in the donghua and cql specifically, from the events of the wen indoctrination through the sunshot campaign even more specifically. [spoilers below]
like. dad-he-never-really-met’s dead, brother’s in charge now  but also missing with all the sect’s books, home’s burned down, fellow disciples dead maimed in disarray, leg broken – in his fanciest white robes and a big ass guan like war regalia marching his way to and through the indoctrination refusing to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing the last lan heir (and possibly acting sect leader???) crack.
and then like, cool: false xuanwu is dead, the other hostages made it out, jin zixuan and jiang wanyin came back, wei ying is safe with his family, cool cool cool time to leg it back to gusu – no sword (leg still broken?) – to help rebuild cloud recesses and hold it down til lan xichen comes back. and lotus pier falls! war is coming! and he’s like. coordinating search parties looking for the missing yunmeng children  and the elders don’t like it. that one elder (donghua) comes to him to ask him to chill lest he brings the wrath of the wen back down on them; lwj’s like “but righteousness? not bowing to tyranny?” (v nice lan qiren comes in with the assist and say’s he’s correct). lan wangji doesn’t have much success with finding the yunmeng children in either adaption but he has major success visiting the leaders of smaller clans and sects and rallying them to the cause; lxc comes back with a force of 200+ men ready to fight because lwj went and met them and asked nicely. and now he’s got more free time because his brother’s back and in charge but not a ton of free time because there’s still a war on; what’s he do with all his extra hours? he’s night hunting for the civilians who can’t rely on cultivators anymore because they’re all at war he’s earning a title about it. he’s helping jiang wanyin take out supervisory offices like he’s supposed to he’s also sneaking around with jiang wanyin looking for wei ying.
just a busy busy lad so busy. so responsible! he sees something needs to be done, he goes and he does it. he’s just there ready to work all the time ready, willing, capable, doing his best and it happens that his best is often very good.

LISTEN OKAY IN RELATION TO MY LAST REBLOG!!
I love LOTR parallels, but god!! No one is talking about the possible CQL/The Untamed parallels!! Specifically this scene from Episode 33.
MAJOR CQL SPOILERS BELOW!!
Wei Wuxian throws himself off a cliff because he just wants everything to stop. He blames himself for the deaths of several family members and just the general suffering of everyone he loves. He figures the only way to stop everything is for him to die.
His soulmate (And later husband!! Don’t let this scene fool you!!), Lan Wangji, barely catches him. He’s injured, there’s a battle raging in the background…Wei Wuxian rips his arm away and falls to his death, leaving Lan Wangji standing alone, devastated, on the cliff.

So. How do I relate this to st5?
It’s a common belief that Will thinks, or might come to believe, that he started all the Upside Down fuckery. That he’s the final connection to the Upside Down. That he is the last obstacle between The Party and making all the pain and destruction stop. Sound familiar?
Byler has been together for a few episodes, and it’s was very emotional, it’s been very cute, but now it’s time for the final battle. Midway through, Will has the realization that in order for all of this to end, he (as the final connection) must die. He and Mike are injured and separated from The Party. El is trying (and failing) to close the Rifts.
Will pauses by the edge of a Rift, staring into the abyss that is the Upside Down. Mike notices that Will has stopped.
“Will, c’mon, catch up.” he says, voice gentle.
When he doesn’t respond, Mike makes his way back to Will’s side.
“Will? What’s wrong?”
Will looks up at Mike with this devastating expression. Silent tears drip down his face. His eyes are apologetic, filled resignation, determination, and a little bit of fear. He’s decided.
“I’m the connection, Mike.”
Mike realizes what he means, what’s about to happen, just a second too late. Will closes his eyes and steps off the cliff.
Everything feels like molasses. Time and space are stretching as Mike launches himself in an attempt to catch Will as he plummets. Mike’s arm is broken, and it hurts like hell when he grabs Wills wrist, when Will’s body weight yanks against his shoulder. He doesn’t care, it doesn’t matter. In that moment, all that matters to Mike is that Will isn’t dead, that there’s still a chance to save him.
Will stares up at Mike in pure shock, framed by the same darkness that stole him back in 1983. The same darkness that Mike vowed he wouldn’t let Will succumb to again. Mike struggles to pull Will up, but he’s too weak. Blood runs down his arm, droplets landing on Will’s face, mixing with his tears.
“Will,” he pleads, “come back.”
The earth rumbles with an earthquake, jolting them both. Mike is dragged forward, stubbornly refusing to let go even as the ground pulls him towards certain death.
Then his grip on Will’s arm slips, only for a second. Will is shaken from his shock and realizes that if Mike doesn’t let go, they’ll both die. He can’t let that happen.
“Mike,” he whispers, “let me go.”
A heartbeat passes, Mike staring at him in denial and disbelief. Then, with all the strength he can muster, Will rips his arm free. As he falls into the Upside Down, the Rift closing rapidly above him, he watches Mike’s face go from shock to anguish. Mike’s arm is still outstretched, as if he’s still desperately clinging to Will. He hears Mike scream his name as the ground knits itself back together.
I’m sorry, Mike…and thank you for loving me, Will thinks as he falls into the abyss of the Rift.
(end scene)
LIKE WOULDN’T THAT JUST BE??? SO DEVASTATING???? anyway, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

OMG what is this cumplane baby NHS AU I just heard of [quietly slides into your blog] My secret WWX/NHS thoughts were just fed ;u;
Original cumplane nhs child au post !
Tldr: cumplane accidentally platonically have a baby via plant baby nonsense or something, 2 agents of chaos turn into THREE agents of chaos
Nhs/wwx is one of my favorite casual rarepairs where it's like. I don't want them to end up together or even like get together in the story but I still wish they had more fanon content!! Like come on guys .. the sexual tension between you and the guy whose tests you used to cheat off of and also who you now have set up an elaborate plan to revive from the dead ?!
I think it would be even better in this au because NHS would've inherited sqq's weakness for scary misunderstood protagonists but with the added angst that he knows the protag will still end up with his love interest and he doesn't want to interfere.. tho I won't lie I wouldn't be opposed to lwj/wwx/nhs . You do know what would be super funny though. After getting over wwx, nhs decided to go for jiang cheng instead because he also inherited sqh's weakness for the protags right hand man

Before I start:
XXC= Xiao Xingchen
XY= Xue Yang
AQ= A-Qing
SL= Song Lan
WWX = Wei Ying
LWJ = Lan Zhan
*TW: mentions of suicide, manipulation, and death as well as CQL spoilers*
I feel like the Yi Cheng group were a reflection of what could’ve happened if WWX lost control. SL was LWJ- the outside factor who loved WWX but couldn’t do much besides watch WWX pick himself up and support him. LWJ was a prominent factor in the overall plot as well as WWX’s life, yes, but he was pretty helpless during WWX’s internal crisis. In the Yi Cheng group, XXC was WWX. XY was the inner demonic voice, urging him to commit unforgivable crimes and deeds. AQ, on the other hand, was the more logical, sensible voice inside him. She recognized that something was wrong. Here’s where the story takes a bit of a curve. AQ didn’t do much to prevent XXC’s death. She knew, yes, that XY was not who he said he was, but she also didn’t know his real identity. She couldn’t have stopped him. When Shuanghua leads XXC to kill the villagers, this is when XY (demon voice) completely takes over and drives XXC to end his life. When XXC dies, it’s like the mirror of WWX’s death. They both chose their own ends. The only difference was that WWX came back, while XXC didn’t.
