the explanations and backstory to my wen xu/wei wuxian ficlet "hold me till the end"
archiveofourown.org/works/35172502
the tl is a bit more stretched out and altered, i.e. it's a few years after the lectures that cloud recesses is attacked

nearly everyone was ofc 15 or 16 during the lectures, and wei wuxian falls in love with lan wangji, who refuses to acknowledge his own feelings
the first major event to note is that jiang fengmian and yu ziyuan die in a "tragic nighthunt" and jiang cheng has to step up at about 18

xuanli, who didn't have all *vaguely waves hand* that going on here, are still engaged and will marry after the mourning period

#mdzs lwj doing regular maintenance on his guqin as ayuan paints in the next room humming and whistling softly to himself and suddenly wen ning is Just There.
lwj turns to look at ayuan who hasn't noticed wen ning's presence yet, then to wen ning who is unmoving outside the deck
#cql #mdzs #wangxian
sfw
implied relationship, fluff
little ayuan continues working on his painting blissfully unaware of his father's internal battle of confusion, hope, and despair.
how... how is wen ning here..? how is he Alive? the jins proudly announced the execution of the "traitorous wen" years ago, so how.....

A quick start to Chinese funerary practices - meta thread!

I'll be explaining the coffin houses, paper money, paper effigies, and the chinese version of hell using my footnotes from Chapter 33. (Wangxian enter the Yi City)

1. 义庄 (yì zhuāng) Coffin Houses. Upon seeing the stone tablet, wwx comments to lwj that the "Yi" stands for "Coffin houses." But what were they?

Coffin Houses were an establishment where the deceased are prepared for burial or cremation. They are sometimes described as
"coffin homes” and “funeral houses”. Here's a video which outlines a "coffin house" in Hong Kong

I spend a somewhat more than reasonable amount of time thinking about #cql post-canon Wen Qing. (No body no death, amirite?)
After Guanyin Temple, everyone thought they were done with revelations about Jin Guangyao’s shady activities. They learn pretty quickly that everyone was wrong.
Jin Ling has been sect leader for a few weeks, and it’s going...okay. Jiang Cheng is still at Carp Tower, pretending not to hover. They’re having breakfast together (so that Jin Ling can pretend not to ask for his advice) when one of Jin Guangyao’s old advisors interrupts.

Why do a lot of translations/fanfics keep saying 'this one'? Never seen that in English subs/ translations in my life - is it something the ER translation does? What’s the chinese equivalent? I get 'this disciple' / ‘this gentleman’ 这名弟子/ 这位公子or another noun. I’m confused

what my #CQL stan mother thinks of different ships from #TheUntamed - a thread
#wangxian

1st time: "Why do these two keep staring at each other? Do they have a bromance? Why don't they tell each other?"

Now: "It's very hard to even find a really good friend, if you can find a 知己 zhiji (soulmate) like LWJ and WWX, does it matter if they are same gender?"
#xiyao

Insists it's canon and that they're madly in love. Pointed out the hand-touch scene at CR, the "er-ge, die together with me" scene at Guanyin Temple. "A-yao should just be good, don't do evil, elope with his Xichen and be happy"

Final Verdict: "LXC too good for ah yao"

I have a lot of emotions about my #CQL / #TheUntamed stan mother - a thread
First of all, she's a 60 something, chinese, conservative, boomer lady. Growing up, she was very anti-queer. She still doesn't know about me. I don't tell her. She's a lot like Madam Yu (and unfortunately I turned out somewhat like Jiang Cheng), so you can imagine my childhood.
I remember having an argument about whether being gay was inherent or a choice with her and the shouting match that ensued. She can tolerate them as a broad concept of "these are people who exist elsewhere" but in her own culture, community or family, that would be unacceptable.

Did you like the timing of that slap? lol

Also, I swear I muted the audio on the "er-ge, die with me" clip, but I keep hearing JGY say it. Checked the original audio, turned out there was a background hiss at the exact moment he says the word 'si' (die).
I also added a little candy pink tint bc why not

Jin Guangyao X TAEMIN (태민) – Criminal

requested by
@psychicwaffles

made this on hard mode: no subtitles in any clips

#cql #chenqingling #陈情令 #theuntamed #mdzs #modaozushi #魔道祖师 #jinguangyao #mengyao #lanxichen #niemingjue #xiyao #nieyao #nielan #3zun #taemin #태민
For extra pain here's the lyrics to the chorus:

So elegant, a criminal who hurts me
It’s okay, you soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent
So elegant, a criminal who destroys me
Not okay, I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence

#cql stan mum (her chinese better) also told me the origins of Hanguang-jun

A gentleman has no quarrel (君子无争), radiance has no form (含光无形), sit and forget with no heart (坐忘无心).

apparently metaphor for 'a calm heart with no contention renders attackers powerless'?
also 无心 has taoist connotations and the whole thing is linked to a confucian virtue of benevolence (仁)??

this is beyond my understanding of english let alone chinese

@fanyiyi33 @3ysz_ any idea? lol

My Chinese #cql stan mum texted me today about where #LanSizhui's name is from - a saying that goes 思君不可追, 念君何时归.

Means roughly, thinking (思) of a gentleman/lord (君) but cannot pursue/chase/follow (追), missing (念) but (not knowing) when (何时) will return (归).
@fanyiyi33

@3ysz_

of interest to you perhaps, hope I didn't butcher that
@yesterday_ying saw your breakdown of JL's name, and thought of this!

Someone explain why it’s called the Stygian Tiger Seal when 1. Westerners know what Yin is (as in yin and yang) 2. Stygian (as in River Styx) is from Greek mythology, makes no sense in this context

Just call it the Yin Tiger Seal (plus #CQL/#TheUntamed has Yin Iron too)

#mdzs
Do they think westerners don’t know what Yin is the same way the Netflix subs assume all non-Chinese people can’t tell relationships between people like shijie (sister) so they write the person’s name instead???
Literally it’s 阴虎符 YIN HU FU. Yes THAT YIN. surely most non chinese people can understand YIN

FYI: Sometimes I see in fic people have characters refer to fathers as 爸爸 baba - that is a modern development - if it’s #CQL / #theuntamed / #mdzs / #modaozushi period era it’s 爹 die or 父亲 fu qin

source: chinese kid who grew up watching this stuff. my mother confirmed too
If they’re little kids it can be 爹爹 die die or A-die and 爹/父亲 die/fu qin more for adults. Fu qin is also a bit more formal than die
Eg. LXC refers to their father as 父亲fu qin to LWJ. JZX refers to JGS as 爹 die but JGY uses fu qin. Child JC is seen with JFM who refers to himself as A-Die. At dinner YZY snaps and says “Ask your father (die).”

So in LSZ kid fics: probably formal in company, die in private.

Can y'all play this for my #CQL / #TheUntamed /#MDZS / #MoDaoZuShi + Venom mashup AU thank you :') Image
1. It’s a CQL timeline but instead of a flute CQ is a symbiote that behaves largely the same way Venom does! Except it looks more smokey and wispy like in the show. It is also a sassy Bitch.
2. Ships will be largely following canon but otherwise gen. WWX is our Eddie Brock so he is the main character

I’m doing a #CQL #TheUntamed rewatch and I’m going to do a #wujicount per episode!

Sometimes they run close to each other. I’m counting it as separate if it restarts and is a new instrument.

#CQL #theuntamed cultivators and their medical specialties based on the hospitals I work at:

LXC: neurosurgery (skilled but so sweet). LWJ: neuro consultant (all eccentric, where I am). LSZ+LJY: his med students. LQR: stroke specialist
NMJ: cardiac surgery (bc knife). NHS: cardiology (like big bro, but no stomach for surgery).
JZX: plastic surgeon (e.g. cranofacial/cleft lip+palate repairs). JL: med student (doing rotation with WWX, JC is salty). JGY: pharmacist (knows many ways to kill you and make it look like an accident).

update on my #cql stan mum: I taught her fandom’s use of the term “qi deviate”. Today she texts me saying her friend posted some pro-Trump stuff in a group chat. According to her she promptly qi deviated and then replied with a huge clapback. I’m -
I replied with “Donald Trump = Wen Ruohan” and that her friend has “走火入魔” (gone the demonic way) already. She laughed and said 非常好 (very good).
Also sent her several pictures of soft!LWJ saying “get you a man who looks at you like this” and she replied with the Koi Tower picture. I told her he raised my already high standards for men. This is her response: Image
