#this is still a mdzs tumblr dw

[thatswhatsushesaid]

i will add this info to my pinned post as i get myself more organized, but for now, here is a list of other public places online that you can for sure find me doing more or less what i do here in the event the lights go out here on tumblr:

while i am technically on not-twitter, i don't see myself migrating there from tumblr, so i'm not going to bother dropping a link to my account. if you really want it, you can pm me i guess lol

middlemarchingfic @ ao3, where i've been doing my fic-writing nonsense for years already;

thatswhatsushesaid @ bluesky; i've done literally nothing here yet but thank you very much to @missveryvery for the invite 🙏🙏🙏

ragweed @ plurk; this is a locked personal account that i use for staying in touch with dwrp people tho, so i may create a separate public one for fandom nonsense. still, if we're mutuals here, feel free to add me if you want;

middlemarching @ mastodon; i have no idea how this platform works slkfdjas but i'm here!!! let's go team!!

sibilantepicurean @ reddit; mostly i just lurk here and haven't done.. much of anything with the account, but maybe that will change.

i plan to create a dedicated dreamwidth account just for my mdzs-specific meta, shitposts and screencap art, but it's going to need a little bit of time to put together since i'm not sure at the moment how much cross-posting functionality exists between dw and tumblr. anyway once i figure out what i plan to do, i'll update my pinned post with the details.

Me

Name: Robin

Pronouns: any

Interests: MANY. This is a multifandom blog and I’m a millennial so it ranges over decades of fandoms.

I do try to tag most everything, and I don’t mind being asked to add tags to posts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you want to, you’re welcome to go through the backlog of this tumblr. I’ve been here since 2012 so there’s a lot 💀

You can always follow or unfollow at any time; I don’t track that sort kind of thing unless we get hit by spambots again.

My stuff

My ao3 handle is also Robinade.

Robin writes; my writing tag on tumblr, 99.9% fanfic. My current writing fandoms are MDZS (you might know it by the Netflix show name The Untamed) and Star Wars (Obi-Wan centric), but in the past I’ve written one-shots for Our Flag Means Death and Cobra Kai (*cough*smut*cough*)

You are always welcome to message me questions or comments about fanfic.

Robin arts; mostly fanart and I’m still getting the hang of painting on procreate tbh

Robin recs: fanfic, books, and artists I’d like to recommend.

Helpful tags

Obligatory rickroll

Realistically speaking tumblr’s tag search is garbo so if you REALLY want to find something you go into google and you type “site:[username].tumblr.com” without quotes or spaces and then a space and your search term/tag (if it’s multiple words then you do want to enclose those words in quotes. Example👉 site:robinade.tumblr.com “click in case of sadness”

To lift your spirit I got cute animals, click in case of sadness, and relaxing. No jump scares here! Also the nostalgia tag if you want to experience life as a 90s kid. Quizzes to pass the time.

Useful stuff (for general help), reference, resources, the more you know. Internet and tumblr tags will often also have useful info and tips. Science! and SPACE tags have fun stuff too.

IN THEORY most of the fandoms below have dedicated art tags but I’m shit at remembering to tag every time.

Fandom tags with the biggest backlog: dragon age (da art), mcu (marvel art), tolkienish (encompasses both lotr and hobbit) (tolkien art), and star wars (sw art).

Other fandoms you will likely encounter: star trek (st art), dc comics and batman (dc art), mdzs (mdzs art), dungeon meshi, pokemon, dungeons and dragons, our flag means death (ofmd art), the witcher, doctor who (dw art), discworld (discworld art), sailor moon (sm art), yu yu hakusho.

Artsy tags: I stopped tagging things as fanart when I realized that’s often a grey area but there’s still a lot of backlog there. Otherwise the fandom name will contain all the art. Amazing art, art history, painting, process art (where you see it from beginning to end), crafty, textile art.

Writey tags: writing (for all writing in general), fanfic (specifically for things relating to fandom writing), ao3 (for archive-related things). Tumblr fic is for short stories hosted directly on tumblr.

Looking at Iwa-chan, obviously.

First time trying on my friend’s iPad Pro :o

*waves*

Long time no post, huh? I've been busy with just...work, life, etc etc etc, and social media/fandom/fun has taken a bit of back seat, unfortunately. But I'm trying to return to a life where I can have joy, and away from twitter. It's not conducive to how I like to experience fandom content and the fast-paced nature is driving my anxiety through the roof.

So basically...I'm trying to make a move back to tumblr and dreamwidth. Fandom content is mostly gonna be here and personal posts/bitching/etc can be found at my dreamwidth. Feel free to add me on DW!!! I don't have very many friends over there....yet OwO

Other than that....uh, thanks to anyone who's still here? Look forward to MDZS and probs still Magi content coming soon!! :D

The Untamed / MDZS, resources post, stuff I needed as a writer

ORIGINAL POST AT DREAMWIDTH! (and updates will be there too and maybe on tumblr, if I remember)

(this is a copy paste, the formatting might not survive)

(also available on AO3)

The Untamed / MDZS, resources post, stuff I needed as a writerApr. 11th, 2020 05:46 pm ateanalennFinding info for this show / how to write about / pitfalls to avoid was a pain :( I guess that's part of having fandom on Tumblr. Since Tumblr's search function only works by selling a kidney and sacrificing a goat, I had to rely on Google. Which, not great. Anyway, useful stuff I found to understand this fandom: • MDZS on Dreamwidth: theuntamed_mdzs (active) mxtx (community focused on all the works by the author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. Not active, but it's there) theyilingweisect (community sharing fics, meta, discussions. Not active either since jan 2020) • MDZS aka Mo Dao Zu Shi (book) aka Grandmaster of Demobnic Cultivation / The Untamed (drama) (there's also an audio drama, a manhua, a donghua, ...) - the novel's en glish fan translation at Exiled Rebels (complete ) As far as I know, this is the most popular translation, though I would like to know if anyone has another translation that they think fit best. - the drama is streaming on Netflix, Viki, WeTV & Youtube. From what I heard around, Netflix and Youtube are the most accessible, obviously, but Viki has the best subtitles (and a whole lot of annoying pubs though). I think that I heard somewhere that there are fan subtitles made, will update if I find the link again). • About names: • The Untamed: A Primer Basically an overview of what is this drama, a few spoilers (but under arrows to open so less risks to see something you didn't want to see). Useful list of titles for the main charas! (ex: Wei Wuxian:    Young Master Wei    Wei Ying (use of this name denotes “I feel affection for you”)    The Yiling Patriarch (use of this name denotes “I think you are evil”)    A-Xian / Xianxian (use of this name denotes “I am your loving older sister, have some soup”)    Lan Wangji:    Second Young Master Lan    Lan Zhan (use of this name denotes “I feel affection for you”)    Hanguang Jun (use of this name denotes “I respect you, and you are also famously very beautiful”)    Wangji (use of this name denotes “I am your older brother and I wish you’d make a friend”) ) • Another primer tumblr by sonickitty with a few where-do-I-find links • Alexandra Rowland explains What Is The Untamed twitter (with pics) • How Ancient Chinese Names Work - Learn from The Untamed Detailed explanation of what's going on with the names (aka Lan Wangji, Lan Zhan, Hanguang-jun) • Dramatis Personae for Modao Zushi the book dw (another detailed who's who/names list) • Names again, Chinese/Mandarin conventions twitter (aka ex the accents aren't necessary, they're there for pronunciation and some explanation of who would use full name/shortened name) • Infographic: birth name vs courtesy name vs title vs respectful address  twitter • Quick table / honorifics guide tumblr by cleyra • Mo Dao Zu Shi | 魔道祖师 The various adaptions tumblr by gravitydefyingtears • A list of MDZS FanFic Common Misleading tumblr by kazeki • A conversation about linguistic register, Lan Wangji, and I guess Wei Wuxian can come too tumblr (pretty important text to understand how lwj speaks) • Writing Lan Wangji's speech patterns (aka say the most in the least words) and the follow up Lan Wangji moving into the lowest, most vernacular linguistic register to try and get through to Wei Wuxian tumblr by hunxi-huilai • Using "You/I" vs "Title-as-you" tumblr by hunxi-guilai • Sword names tumblr by hunxi-guilai • Honorifics: jun vs zun tumblr by hunxi-guilai • THE spreadsheet: Mo Dao Zu Shi Character Name Chart, recced by flamebyrd (of who uses what for whom) • Misc Info: • 59 slides of awesomeness by chatcolat. Who's who, plot summary, humor. Beware, so full of spoilers you'll cry if you want to keep some mystery, but! concise recap of what happens in the show to keep the timeline in mind. • Everything about those cultivation sects in ‘The Untamed’ Quick who's who of the various sects (Gusu Lan, Lanling Jin, Yunmeng Jiang, Qishan Wen, Qinghe Nie. Protip: first word is basically the location, second is the sect/clan name). • Reference for Modao Zushi Writers: Chinese terms ao3. "This is to provide a reference for writers who are unfamiliar with Chinese literary conventions or terms used in canon." • Resource list dw: Libitina's twitter links for Meta, Linguistics, Costumes, Food, Edits, Art. • Actual drama title vs English drama title twitter • How "Mo Dao Zu Shi" became "Chen Qing Ling" became "The Untamed" tumblr by hunxi-guilai • Very necessary meta about why the novel/extras seems to have so many sex consent issues and how translating to English potentially gives a very different overall feel to the scene (ex: ExR = "you're too much, you're way too much" becomes chiaki_himura's "you're good, you're too good", becomes bigbadredpanda's "you're amazing, you're the best"). Also, Chinese language enables to shorten sentences which makes stuff implied, 's your job to see context clues.) • hunxi guilai's master list of various detailed topics re-Chinese language/customs tumblr • "Wangxian" is such a clever portemanteau tumblr by untamedconnotations • Song Lan didn’t just say that Xiao Xingchen was “nice-looking,” he basically said that Xiao Xingchen was smokin’ hot except like, in two characters and blanketed with literary respectability. tumblr by hunxi-guilai (this is only relevant because xxc IS the most beautiful person, really and needs to be protected at all cost) • The Unclean Realm isn't "unclean" has in dirty/bad, it's most probably to show the difference of way of cultivating vs the other sects tumblr by hunxi-guilai • WuJi, the love song's fan translation tumblr by iarrod • Timeline: • 59 slides of awesomeness by chatcolat. Who's who, plot summary, humor. Beware, so full of spoilers you'll cry if you want to keep some mystery, but! concise recap of what happens in the show to keep the timeline in mind. • A google spreadsheet, via mihanada's GoDC timeline wip (Year/Event/Notes/Ages/...)     • MDZS Timeline, that meta AO3 post on speed by TheWickling. Useful if you want all the details, a bit difficult to navigate/understand when you just landed in the fandom. Still very useful. • And the sequel: On Character's Ages  ao3 "A collection of meta on the possible ages for different  characters in MDZS and what ages they would be during key events in the  timeline." • Modao Zushi, birthdates/timeline dw Dirthdates starting with 0 = wwx's birth year. Succinct & useful. • Maps • Fan made mdzs / untamed worldmap twitter • Places of The Untamed - Where They Are in The Real World • IRL sect locations reddit • Google Map of clan locations in Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation tumblr • Lotus Pier really is one of the most underrated but beautiful places. twitter • Gifsets and images: - Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed drama character guide! deviantart picture = name, who's who in pics. - The Untamed sect sigils - In Which LWJ Gives Not A Single Shit, A Thread #LanWangji #WangXian #cql #TheUntamed SPOILERS for most of the show twitter - The various stages of hairstyles + accessories twitter - SongXiao are in love, got married, are living happily ever after,(FITE ME) twitter by shenweiss - Realizing that wwx is wearing lwj's silk undershirt and the follow up: Qiren's face when he notices xD twitter - gingersnapwolves's Untamed tumblr tag - thewickling's mdzs tumblr tag - hunxi-guilai's cql tumblr tag - compilation of wangxian just being gay and making everyone feel like a third wheel twitter by weiwxngji - wwx swoons a lot and he's gorgeous twitter - Alexandra Rowland explains What Is The Untamed twitter (with pics) - grinding ink requires great patience, often represents that one is willing to wait for another’s feelings twitter - sad compilation of wangxian gazing into each other’s eyes that no one asked for, you’re welcome twitter - This frontal view of Wei Wuxian laying on Lan Wangji’s lap is everything. twitter - Lotus Pier really is one of the most underrated but beautiful places. twitter - Sometimes you see something, a picture, a video, just a snippet of a short moment, and you SEE the love. twitter - CQL’s working title was hot murder husbands twitter (this is amazing) - Lan Wangji just looks a thousand times more intimidating with golden eyes twitter - #TheUntamed’s spinoff webmovie #FatalJourney posters twitter (yessss, nhs, one of my fav) - Don’t you love how exactly 0.5 seconds of this video is Lan Zhan explaining that only spouses are allowed to touch the headband and the rest of the entire 2(!) minutes is a complication of Wei Ying touching it anyways... he said I wanna marry you. twitter • Fic Recs: - DW guest Post: Untamed Fic Starter Pack (a few fics for each subject (ex post canon, juniors centric, ...) - Twitter thread starting with Alexandra Rowland asking for fluffy MDZS/Untamed fic recs. (good new-fandom starter too!) - That twitter thread collecting a list of lady-centric Untamed/MDZS fics Which, good, because as much as I love the fandom, once again women don't exactly come out on top. How many are still alive at the end? I can think of one previously Jin sect lady, but that's it on top of my head, soooo. - Libitina also has posted a lot of mdzs fic recs dw - A "they're students in lockdown and socially distancing" WangXian ficlet tumblr by besanii And bonus: a capybara enjoying a good scritch because I love those dog-sized guinea pigs, seriously, that twitter account is my daily dose of cuteness Also, have some guinea pig on a cutesy bridge PS: I thought that this would be fast because I didn't have that much info to collect at one place, buuuut. It's been 5 hours and it turns out that I did lol.   Still, if you have anything else of potential interest, don't hesitate to leave a comment, please :D
