“JGY is different from WWX because he solves his problems with murder, torture, [sexual violence], and other evils” sweet summer child, you are HILARIOUS and your assigned reading is Wen Chao’s death sequence
"No, my genes were reworked in the process, I'm too different to be a clone. You might say I'm his son, but considering his age when he died, I like ‘brother’ better."
"But I thought Nies reproduced sexually, like humans?"
"Usually. Few Avenging Nies are born these days But we were mercenaries during the Sunshot Campaign, and many died without ever having children. We had to engineer this method, so violent deaths would no longer end entire bloodlines, and anyone could be guaranteed their revenge. Until Mingjue’s murderer is killed, nothing else can matter to me. I'm not capable of caring about anything else."
"But Mingjue died of illness," Xichen protested. "We even tried to get him on GuS-U to see if something could save him. It didn't work. He was… I tried to save him, but he was so sick…"
The young man (he was three in human years, he'd said, but Nies grew fast, Avenging ones even more so) smiled at Xichen, showing off teeth even sharper than his late brother's.
"Did he now?" Huaisang asked, in a voice so sweet Xichen shivered. "But if that were true, why would I have been born?"
Plot idea that I am obsessed with but will probably never write: MDZS x Hades AU.
WWX as the sad God of the Dead pining for his husband who he believes is too good for him and must stay away from. LWJ as the even sadder even more pining God of Life who thinks his husband hates him and stays away because he thinks this is what WWX wants. And LSZ as their absolutely done with this soap opera bullshit son who just wants his dads to be happy together.
(also feat: every other MDZS character as the gods granting boons)
In SVSSS, every time Luo Binghe does something sexually deviant (aka pins for his Shizun) like when he’s discovered having kept his corpse (on a bed? to cuddle with?) or when he throws himself on him, every time he’s called “beast”
Beast, as in having no self-restraint, following pure animalistic lust.
And what does Song Lan call Xue Yang when he discovers he’s been living with Xiao Xingchen for years, being in good terms despite Xue Yang tricking him into committing dreadful acts?
We travel back to Cloud Recesses once again this week to talk about some of the fics we've read from the Untamed fandom. James use the power of maths to establish Lan Zhan's Length and Girth in the fixed foot. We also learn about the dangers of trusting autocorrect in Want a duck? And Wei Ying smuggles a rabbit into school, unawares that it will soon be the love of his life, in Disapproving Rabbit.

As always, apologies for any mispronunciations in this, we have a hard time with both English and Chinese words.

Propaganda under the cut
Cheng Qian:
Cheng Qian and Yan Zhengming end up together. Most of it is spoilers, but they're very cute! Yan Zhengming nicknamed him Tong Qian / Copper Coin
#some of yall didnt read 6yao and yall are missing out#bby cheng qian puppy crushing on his shixiong and beating up anyone who mockingly calls his shixiong princesse#cause thats his high maintenance princess thank you
#I NEED cheng qian to win#he went through so much to get that pillow princess shixiong dick
Jiang Cheng:
Clinged to WWX constantly for 7+ years, wanted to have WWX as his right hand man forever after becoming sect leader, cried after WWX left, cried when he discovered what WWX sacrificed for him, was TORN APART when it got explained to him that if they were more outwardly close knit, WWX might not have died
PROPAGANDA!! to start, i'm still very bitter about how fairy lost the sentient animal poll and i want to win this badly. very very badly. current stats are 50.6 in favour of jc but that's too less of a gap for me. jc should be winning this by a landslide, y'all hear me? anyways. starting with a class act, like the clown i am->

a few links ( because i'm chengxian trash, as always and i'd love if poll-guy could copy paste them on the og post): one, two, three, four (gif), five, six, seven (gif), eight (thoughts on different wavelengths), the absolute circles of them saving each other, the fucking golden core reveal scene. golden scene reveal part 2, jiang cheng will always forgive wei wuxian
to start with. jiang cheng is literally the picture of "i knew from the moment i met you that i'd spend a lifetime forgiving you".
the earliest dynamic of jiang cheng and wei wuxian is jiang cheng giving away his dogs (the only gift his father has ever given him, btw) because wei wuxian is scared of the dogs. tis only the start of it.
his father very obviously prefers his shixiong over him, his mother berates him for not being as good as wei wuxian and tells him his inheritance is in danger, and his sister (in my opinion) has more care for him (visibly. maybe jiang yanli doesn't show it because jc is an emotionally complicated purple grape, maybe because jc doesn't need it, or wei wuxian is traumatised but that's my opinion). but still. still. Jiang Cheng loves Wei Wuxian. so much. jealousy is like. the most tame response i can think of. and jiang cheng is proud of wei wuxian, okay? he'd believe his big brother if he'd said anything. want proof? well, here you go-> link
to paraphrase the link:
Jiang Cheng had just lost his family, his home, and his very golden core, and his older brother - his brilliant older brother who could fix anything, who could sneak wine into Cloud Recesses and defeat an ancient turtle nearly-god and make Jiang Cheng share a smile when Jiang Cheng’s mother was disappointed and furious at both of them - His big brother smiled and said, “I can fix this.”And Jiang Cheng believed him then, and believed him three months later when Wei Wuxian crawled out of the Burial Mounds (just the second miracle in three months), and believed him every day of the next seventeen(?) years until the pieces were shoved into place for him to see.
also. the circle these two go in protecting each other. (gif set by @sandushengshou), the 'if one of us is to die, then, i beg, let it be me' that they both do for one another in a seemingly neverending loop of sacrifice. via this post a la my lovely @backtoyunmeng

jiang cheng is a cannonically ruined woman archetype, justified via the countless posts you'll get in the top posts of jiang cheng tag. he keeps chenqing, wwx's flute in perfect condition even when he hates wei wuxian, even when wwx, if only indirectly, has a part in jiang yanli's murder and oof okay someone pointed out to him that he's known to have killed wei wuxian and he almost cries. he absolutely believes, with his whole heart, that wei wuxian lives even when the world is sure he doesnt. and it always read to me like, i'd know if he was dead. he's a part of my soul, so i'd know if he was dead. he can't be dead.
this is getting too long, so, to sum up, some absolute poetry by @jiangchengsjawline

Jerry doesn't even know how much he's serving bc he's so New at it but within like 5 minutes of putting on a skirt he's got heads turning. He's serving transfemme with he/him pronouns. He's sass personified. He's a slut and Just One Of The Gals. Marilyn Monroe complimented his tits. He keeps getting hit on by random dudes, including the mobsters who have specific determination to kill him. He got his ass pinched in an elevator, danced tango until like 5 in the AM and got engaged to a millionaire Immediately. He FORGOT HE HAD A DICK for a minute afterwards and Tony Curtis had to remind him that this movie is made in the late 1950s and takes place in the Prohibition Era 20s so put the fucking kibosh on That shit, Jerry. And not to spoil a movie from 1959, but even at the end when they're all in the boat headed to Venezuela or wherever and he's trying to give his fiancé all these reasons why they can't actually get married he finally reveals he's not, in fact, a woman Osgood doesn't even flinch or hesitate: "Well, nobody's perfect." And that's that on that. Love Wins.

Wei WuXian:
Every bitch in the universe wants his pussy so bad it's embarrassing. Male and female. Nobody can stop thinking about him for 20 years. The most celibate man in the world became obsessed with him, psychologically and sexually. His pussy knows no bounds.
