OMG!!!! WE GOT THE WORD!!!!! WE GOT THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) it makes so much sense, also the “this is a story about soulmates but its not a soulmates story” also means so much right now, :) the reveal was so beautiful, the whole scene in the cemetery was picturesque, the chapter was also the right amount of flirty, (I mean, come on it’s Even, :D)
Can’t wait till the next update!!!!!!
Also small question, i’m not sure if you’ve answered this already but is Even also bipolar in this story? Him and June understood each other so well and his parents also don’t also understand him so I was wondering if him and June shared that in common?
This could be a spoiler though, so regardless I’ll wait and see :)
Thank you again for this wonderful portrayal of grief and love, I can’t express how amazing this story is, :)
hahahah yeaaaaaah! i tried to work it so that the norwegian word had nine letters (sjelevenn) and an english word could also have nine letters (soulmates). i don’t know if technically it’s correct, like if you would put that word on a headstone it would actually be written like “en sjelevenn” or “min sjelevennen” or even “sjelevennen.” and soulmates would actually be sjelevenner, which is the word from the script that inspired it all. (sigrid calls even and june “best friends” and even corrects her, saying they’re “soulmates.”) but that’s what we’re working with now! and we’ll see what it means to be a soulmate i guess, in this universe.
and i will say that i don’t know if even is bipolar! i don’t define that in this story, but you’re right to pick up on the connection. and they’ll talk about it more.
I didn't get him (and I need to save my keys for Silver's birthday, sob) so I looked up his groovy, and I'm not over how incredibly dramatic and epic and cool it looks in direct contrast to the absolutely ridiculous context. just look at that dynamic action and his majestic sparkling tears and keep in mind that this is pretty much right after a bunch of characters have been dance battling for his soul.
and then even the actual moment of the groovy is just like
this is NOT a negative in the slightest, I love it all, this truly was an incredible update in so many ways
megan thee stallion is the perfect example of unbothered energy. nicki has repeatedly vagueposted about her, gone on unhinged rants about her, gone so far as to mention her dead mother (such a classless low blow), threatened her on live, and has now released the tackiest diss track in history. and what has megan done? literally nothing. she straight up ignored her, aside from that one ig story where she posted herself laughing (which was perfect btw). she is the epitome of “i will not dignify that w a response.” i love it.
Me huffing straight copium hoping that they'll release a femhroth npc in the story during 6.x similar to what they did with viera in the return to rabanstre series. I know they wont but i can still huff copium.
You know what? I’m feelin’ a Prompt with the whole halfa family, all the clones and everything.
See, Danny? He’s grown up, he’s moved out, started looking at colleges himself after spending a few years travelling and learning about himself without the threat of a ghost attack.
He’s kept in touch with his friends, both living and dead, and ignores Vlad for the most part now that they’ve reached a truce of sorts, and honestly? He’s just living his life.
But see, it’s kind of hard to figure out what college to pick, with his admittedly not-great choices. Look, he might have a new-ish ID but he’s still visibly not exactly human (though thankfully doesn’t have to worry about the GIW after a… summer activity that ended with several missing buildings)
And most people he goes to? Finds him ‘too unsettling’ which excuse him?? How is he unsettling? He’s a twenty-five year old with six kids ranging from one to six! How is that “scary” huh? Ancients, and all this is making him use the cash he’s saved up over time.
And then- as though all of this isn’t stressful enough and he’s not genuinely worried that he won’t have enough money to feed the kids if he goes to school- a hero nearly trips over Jordan and starts freaking out. He is so fucking done.
dan doing 99.9% of the legwork in poppy playtime except for when there are actions he knows phil would be excited to do. then he asks/tells phil to take the controls. bye ❤️💥🔫⚰️

Whoever made Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo (Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji’s actors) sing the main ost of The Untamed, which is 無羁 (wú jī)— had made the best decision in the entire decision making world.
Whoever decided to name it 無羁 (wú jī) and make it the WangXian version (from the books/donghua) of the live adaptation, and also the one that Lan Wangji canonically composed as a theme song for him and Wei Wuxian — had made the second best decision in the entire decision making world.
Whoever decided to make the official English title of 陳情令 (chén qíng lìng) as “The Untamed” which also means “unrestrained” or “無羁 (wú jī)”— had made the third best decision in the entire decision making world.
Like it was so genius? Knowing that whenever you listen to 無羁 (wú jī), it’s Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji themselves singing the song? Their theme song? And that even though they censored it, they still managed to make the song name a combination of their names (Wuxian + Wangji)? And that the literal English translation of 無羁 (wú jī) is “unrestrained” which can also mean “Untamed”?
