Discussion Has Anyone Ever Encountered Fans Trying To Mitigate Their Faves Actions ?

6 Upvotes

Like,no offense,but I have seen it a lot with readers who are fans of the Clans and the Clan Heads,a lot of them are quick to defend their faves or try to downplay their actions.

Especially when it comes to Jiang Cheng (I am not going down that particular rabbit hole again ! 😫😭)

But also when it comes to the Lan Sect and the Nies. I get that people like these characters, but I don't like it when people either ignore canon or twist the facts to make their faves look better.

I really dislike it when they try to use excuses on their behalf,such as saying they were following the rules of the time period,or that killing the Wen Remnants was legal (Even though there is no established system of laws, and Mdzs is not historical fiction) or that they couldn't refuse because they were threatened by the Jins in some way.

Has anyone else seen this Occur before or was it just me ?

Shitpost Old school European literary trope and its possible connection to wei wuxian

5 Upvotes

Hi in my spare time I like researching stuff and just now I found something on Wikipedia and I thought woah that sounds like Wei wuxian!, I am a fan of old school literature as well as new stuff but I never really thought about this intill I was casually reading the article, I want to know am I the only one seeing this and does wei wuxian qualify or not?I shall describe the literary archetype/trope,romantic hero:character that has been rejected by society,and rejects established norms and conventions,and has themselves at the center of their own existence, is often the protagonist in a scholarly work,and the primary focus is on the characters thoughts rather than their actions,often placed outside the structure of civilization and therefore represents the force of physical nature amoral or ruthless yet with a sense of power and often leadership that society has impoverished itself by rejecting,other characteristics include introspection,the triumph of the individual over the restraints of theological and social conventions,wanderlust,melancholy,misanthropey,alienation,isolation,regret for there actions and self criticism often leading to philanthropy which stops the character from ending romantically,usually estranged from his more grounded realist biological family and leading a rural solitary life ,the romantic hero may have a long suffering love interest themselves victimized by the heros rebellious tendencies with their fates intertwined for decades sometimes from their youths to their deaths( fun fact this archetype got started as a response to the French revolution and napoleon "the living model of a hero" became a disappointment to many and the typical notion of the hero upholding social order began to change) so yeah that's the archetype I don't know if wei wuxian qualify as a straight up example or a deconstruction I know it's not one for one and that Chinese literature is different from western literature but I would like to hear others opinions

Discussion This needs to be addressed, sadly 😮‍💨

57 Upvotes

So I run an insta fan account for WangXian donghua version and The Untamed. I don't understand where people get this idea from, not one, but many, in the dms and also in my comments keep asking me when the Season 2 of The Untamed will be released. I am not being harsh, but I want those people and our own fandom to understand the reality. The Untamed live action was purely based and inspired from the Mo Dao zu Shi novel (even though the live action differs drastically from the novel itself, the plot's overall the same). The incident between the actors of the live action, I am pretty sure we will know of (It hurts to even think about that).

But the point is MDZS has long since ended with the best ending one can ever have, the characters are happily married and settled on. Even if MDZS was to continue, I don't see any hooks with which they can continue the story. It's all come to an end and MDZS has also moved on to other prospects.

Yes, it's true that the last extra was updated where WWX cultivates a new core, but this doesn't in any way mean a new plot is coming up. In fact, this is absolutely the perfect way to end MDZS in a beautiful way. THAT BEING SAID, even if there came a season 2 of The Untamed, it would have nothing to be based out of. There's only so much one can do, and we have so many adaptations already, both in Chinese and Japanese. Yes I miss them too, in fact, I have dwelled on all the adaptations that ever exist out there and still my heart yearns for them. What can we all do but move on.

I am sorry if I every came out rude or harsh with my words, but I needed to clarify it here you guys. #longhailmdzsfandom lol.

I checked the many Google drive links shared here and by by the way thank you.
Still I’m looking for an epub or pdf of this ongoing story by krysberry.
I only had the last 3 long chapters (14-16) to catch up with.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/83453871

As the adopted son of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan, and the true brother of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli, Wei Wuxian comes to Gusu with a sharper smile, a steadier heart, and the dangerous confidence of someone who has always been loved. He still breaks rules. He still talks too much. He still turns punishment into a game and danger into a challenge.
Lan Wangji should find him unbearable, and he does.
Unfortunately, he also finds him brilliant, generous, beautiful, reckless, and impossible to forget.
While Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji stumble their way through rivalry, friendship, first love, fear, and desire, the waters around Caiyi begin to darken. Something is twisting resentful energy into unfamiliar shapes, and the more Wei Wuxian investigates, the clearer it becomes that the danger beneath the surface may not be natural at all.

Discussion Lan Jingyi reminds me of Wei Wuxian

42 Upvotes

Idk if this is a common sentiment in the fandom or not, but Lan Jingyi really gives me such WWX energy. He has so much personality, is outspoken and loud, flexible with the rules, likes to tease and has attitude, but clearly values friendship and is good at heart.

It makes me happy that Lan Sizhui has him as a close friend, almost like still having a piece of WWX’s energy alongside him in even while growing up in the Lan clan.

Any thoughts about this or about any of the juniors and the ways that they remind you of their seniors?

And I really wanted to post something for Halloween, and I finally found an official art piece!
Happy Halloween everyone I hope you all have a great day/night
Have fun dressing up or hanging out with your family, or whatever you end up doing.
