The Untamed, Episodes 4-5

[galaxysoup]

Boy howdy, rl sure got busy there for a while!! Fingers crossed I can have a nice uninterrupted stretch of confused Untamed viewing now. :D

Episode 4

• Guess who has two thumbs and finally successfully osmosed Lan "Poker Face" Wangji's name?


• I'm still not super clear why everyone's gathered in Cloud Town. Study abroad? Diplomacy with lectures? Summer camp?


• OoooOOOooh Goth Girl is travelling with the undead zombie from Ep 2? The Dixing Nightless City Plot thickens!


• I really like Lan Big Bro. With the understanding that this story is A Drama, I hope he doesn't get completely fucked. Gotta respect a man who brings a recorder to a sword fight and then is really gracious to people with no social power.


• I do not like Psycho Goth Prince at all. He is a dick.


• Is it normal to ship Lan Big Bro and Meng Whatsisface, the Nie love child? Cause I kinda do.


• I mean, let's be real, I probably ship Lan Big Bro/Anybody Who's Nice To Him


• Ohhhhhh Wei Wuxian is That Student.


• Aw, Zombie Wen is a secret arrow nerd.

Episode 5

• Lan Wangji is totally the kind of nerd who would do his homework twice, just for fun, isn't he


• Tbd if they're evil or not, but I like the tragic Goth siblings.


• Omg Wei Wuxian just straight up gave Lan Wangji porn. And a heart attack.


• Ah, we've officially reached the pigtail-pulling stage of courtship, I see.


• Wei Wuxian's brother (??) whose name I can't remember seems to exist in a constant state of near-aneurysmic stress.


• Ahahaha Lan Big Bro is totally the kind of person who shoves his little sibling headlong into social situations and then says "MAKE SOME FRIENDS" as loudly and embarrassingly as possible


• The whole lake sequence is actually pretty creepy


• I am clearly missing the meaning of 'Suibian' being the sword's name.


• Aww, Goth Girl and Whatsisbro, sitting in a tree


• I miss the donkey.

Ah, you mean Sulkmeister! ;-)

I miss the donkey too!!! He's one of the best characters. :-)

[galaxysoup]

Sulkmeister!! Yesss, that's perfect. :D

[trobadora]

Haha, OMG, some of these are more true than you can possibly know at this point. :D

[galaxysoup]

Not gonna lie, I'm really looking forward to coming back to these recaps after I've finished the show to see how in/accurate I was. :D

As I understaned it, "Suibian" means "whatever". It seems kinda disrespectful at first, but it's also kinda funny. And I interpret it as Suibian being whatever WWX needs. *g*

I love your names for people and places! Psycho Goth Prince *snicker*

[galaxysoup]

Ohhhhhhh that makes sense! That... is a very Wei Wuxian thing to do. :D

I do enjoy coming up with the nicknames!!

[bluemeridian]

Swinging through very randomly to say you’re absolutely spot on so far 😂

[galaxysoup]

Yes, winning! \o/ :D
