luny

HELLO I finally finished the Untamed SO any and all fic recs would be deeply appreciated. I’m deeply impressed that I made it this far without cracking and devouring all the fic because OH MY GOD what a ficcable show.

( “Thoughts )

I never watch TV shows this fast, but I was in the exact right headspace for this and am THRILLED to have a brand new fandom - god knows the Star Wars/Marvel/I-don’t-even-know-what-else-but-it’s-probably-owned-by-Disney stuff gets stale after a bit. I would say I have no idea what I’m going to do with all this free time now that I finished watching, but I’m absolutely just going to fill it with fic, so. May all your weekend plans be as fun as mine 😄

God, I’m such a sucker for loyalty, for characters who are clearly destroying themselves to help someone who takes them for granted (because of course your big brother is going to take care of you even after you tried to strangle him - you were distraught over your parents’ death, he understands). Anyway, Wei Wuxian is hitting every single one of my buttons, and I’m actually really loving how the show captures the sibling relationships - he and Jiang Cheng were so believable as super close siblings, which makes watching them implode is all the worse.i have no idea how they’re going to end up but it feels 60/40 they become mortal enemies/they reconcile at this point so....

Related: Wen Qing is the only character this entire time who looked at Wei Wuxian and asked “what about you?” instead of putting more demands on him, and like. If I hadn’t already decided to adore her that would have done it.

Unrelated: there have been too many dead bodies recently. It’s been a while since I watched anything that had a war in it, and I’m remembering all the reasons why.

EDIT: I just got to the flashbacks (within the big flashback) and a) they were all ADORABLE when they were tiny and b) Jiang Cheng has never done a moment of emotional labor in his life, has he.
