We’ll have to do dinner Thursday night instead.
You can’t reblog this again until October 2024, so do it now.

I'm so glad I get to live in a world where there are Octobers, aren't you? 🍂🍁
ANNE WITH AN E (2017 - 2019) | s02 ep01 'YOUTH IS THE SEASON OF HOPE'
I think its important to point out that wei wuxian doesn't become paranoid because of losing his core or spending months in the burial mounds or channeling resentment. he becomes deeply paranoid pretty much immediately after the massacre of lotus pier and it doesn't go away until he dies
even tho I firmly believe cql absolutely made the right choice to keep the same actors throughout the show and the quality would have undeniably suffered if they'd gotten different actors for various different points in the timeline, it Does often get very confusing and weird wirt to the ages of the characters. I do however think that wang zhuocheng plays "the pure vulnerable rage, anguish, and fear of a traumatized teenage boy too young to fully grasp what has happened to him" Incredibly well
i said it was my favorite piece of media that i’ve hyperfixated on since the tender age of 12 and have not let go of since. i didnt say it was a Good piece of media
“what do you like about it so much?” the fact that it cocooned me like a tender wool blanket during my vulnerable teenage years. next question
Man this fandom is not weird enough about Wen Ning & Wei Wuxian’s relationship
#they’re best friends. they’re brothers. they’re master and servant. they’re creator and creation. they’re king and lionheart. they’re silly shenanigans pals. they’re connected at the soul. they’re didis with no jiejie. they cared for the same child and then missed his growing up. they’re a visceral reminder of each other’s darkest moments. they’re lethal warriors. they’re good soft boys. (via mischiefseven)
#the thing is that I think somehow they’re mostly just yzma and kronk #like the thing about Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning #is that I never really get the sense that Wei Wuxian likes being around him very much #which adds a certain…..je ne sais quoi to their relationship #like sort of a victor frankenstein situation #like you create a monster and frankly he’s only ok #Fjrhnckdhcndncnd #it does minimize my overall emotional investment but I also am sort of amused by it #and of course do think it’s sort of enjoyably fucked up (via rabbitcrimes)
Wow, I love it when tags x-ray my soul like this and explain to me things about myself that I had always wondered but never known!!! Like don't mind me, I've just spent years wondering why I... just don't care that much about Wei Wuxian's relationship with Wen Ning even though objectively there should be a lot going on there, and specifically a lot of the kind of things I normally latch on to, and even feeling guilty about it and OH. IT'S JUST THAT. ACTUALLY WEI WUXIAN DOESN'T CARE THAT MUCH??? Yeah, he just--it's true. He doesn't seem to like hanging out with Wen Ning that much. Like, he seems to enjoy just about anybody else's company more than Wen Ning. He likes the idea of Wen Ning. He feels responsible for him. But this is the final insult to Jiang Cheng, I guess, or the final evidence of his terminal insecurities: that Wei Wuxian's replacement didi is someone he really does find way less cool and fun and likable than Jiang Cheng and he picks him over Jiang Cheng anyway. WOW.

Reblog if you’re 30 or older
This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!
It pains me to re-read MDZS because every other line out of Jiang Cheng's mouth about Wei Wuxian is a prophecy that comes tru. "playing hero will get you killed wwx" "your reliance on your strength will doom you" "you can't take the world on alone, it'll always end bad"/ He does it for other characters too and like this man has been forseeing 20 years ahead since day one and absolutely no one believes him.
Wei Wuxian: Silly Jiang Cheng! Of course I won't die!
Wei Wuxian, 3 days later, the spirits tearing into him: I-I can't let him know he got that one right
Hope everyone else who primarily accessed The Untamed via Netflix is also planning a deadline-driven full rewatch before it gets removed next month
every day people tell me that the untamed is good, i’ve seen the first episode, stop gaslighting me
okay i’m giving it another shot. time for episode two.
i’m sorry? why is this exactly like naruto? this is so stupid. time for episode three.
update: i would die for wuxian
i am: so invested. whenever i’m not at home i can only think about getting home and watching the untamed.
lan zhan you have to find wei wuxian and give him back his sword!
(I'M ON S2 EP12 NO SPOILERS PLEASE)
@ddrunkbard has taken most of this constant "I LOVE IANTO HE'S THE BEST AND MY FAVOURITE"

i’m sorry you guys but i’m watching the wei wuxian death scene again so i’m going to be posting about it again. that’s just something you signed up for when you followed me!
i’m thinking of making clips of all the sound transitions because that’s what i love most about it but idk if i have the patience for that. what i do have, however is a deep appreciation for how this scene contrasts wei wuxian’s (smiling hero guy) and jiang cheng’s (angry petty guy) reactions to jiang yanli’s death:
the first thing wei wuxian does when jiang yanli dies is scream. the first thing jiang cheng does when jiang yanli dies is cry and hold her.
the second thing wei wuxian does is murder. the second thing jiang cheng does is cry and hold her.
the third thing wei wuxian does is play his flute to cause more murder. the third thing jiang cheng does is cry and hold her.
the fourth thing wei wuxian does is drop the tiger tally and laugh and cry maniacally when everyone starts killing each other over it. the fourth thing jiang cheng does is cry and hold her.
the fifth thing wei wuxian does is throw himself off a cliff. the fifth thing jiang cheng does is cry and hold her.
the sixth thing jiang cheng does is try to kill wei wuxian and falter at the last moment. the sixth thing wei wuxian does is kill himself.
#hey. hey. why this.#(because it is COMPELLING COMPARISON that's why but 😭)#HE LOVES HIS SISTER SO MUCH!!!!#not to say that WWX *doesn't* ofc but it's part of the larger pattern wherein WWX responds to JYL being harmed by lashing out at the culpri#while JC responds to JYL being harmed by showing concern for her directly#which plays out in how both brothers respond to JZX! @poorlittleyaoyao
Something so obvious but so good; screams.
Just... a good scream.
- When a stoic character finally breaks and lets out a scream, raw, painful, and loud
- Screaming out of fear, backed into a corner with no escape or option to fight, when all they can do is scream
- Waking up from a nightmare and screaming as they claw themselves back to the present
- Screaming someone's name as there is no way to save them
- A sudden, short scream at unexpected pain, clutching the painful area as they go down
- A long, unending scream as they're tied down and hurt, no way to stop the pain, as if the only way to let it out is through this
- A head titled back, screaming in pain as they can't stop the pain
- Screaming in frustration, throwing something at the wall at the same time, letting out the anger
- Screaming at Whumpee who has hurt themselves again, instant regret as they look up in fear
- Screaming in victory, letting out all the fear, grief, sadness, and pain as they stand over Whumper's dead body
- Screaming for help
- Screaming for someone to stay away, don't come closer or they'll get hurt
- Muffled screaming into a gag, as they're forced to watch someone they care for walk into a trap
- Muffled screaming into a hand or arm, trying to stay quiet despite the pain
one thing i do love about bbc ghosts is it's full of terrible people but said terribleness ranges from "tory" (fraud, misogyny, chronic lying, war crimes) to "my default instinct is to gaslight people" to "first reaction to being outed is to commit murder" to plain old "religious extremist" to "motivated solely by profit (:"
