Remember that time when Lao Wen pretended there was no wine in the bottle, so he ordered Gu Xiang to go find him more wine but later one we find out the bottle in question indeed had wine and Lao Wen was just making an excuse so he could spend time alone with his A-Xu?

Well, yeah... my favorite part of it is that do you know who knew the bottle wasn’t empty too? You’re right, the one and only A-Xu. He knew damn well how much he drunk from that bottle and there was still wine on it, however he remained silence, even when Gu Xiang turned out to him to give a bad look for taking all the wine because HE WANTED TO BE ALONE WITH HIS BABY TOO.

And remember that time when Lao Wen asked A-Xu to go to look for medicines to cure Cao Weining and Cao offered to go with them but Gu Xiang stopped him and Chengling told him “it’s ok. You will learn to be with them” or something like that. That got me screaming because Chengling’s words and Gu Xiang’s actions just tell me that tWenZhou look for excuses to be alone ALL THE TIME. And they do it so much that even my innocence boy Chengling has noticed that and learned to respect that.

I mean, these two go around thinking they’re fooling everyone with their lame excuses to be alone but they’re not fooling anyone. Omg i can’t!! And the best part is they don’t even need any excuse, also aren’t you two together DAY AND NIGHT? Why do you need MORE TIME ALONE? TF.

Definitely there was not better ending for them than being trapped in that mountain lol. Bye

The Untamed🐰EP22

Alright my dudes, I think this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but here is my two cents on Mil after episode 10. 

Look, I kind of believe him about Sarawat’s leg, or at least he regrets it, he may have not in the moment, and I think this is because he does have an attachment to Phukong already established, but his image is now tarnished, because of the horrible things he did and said about Sarawat. Let me break it down a sec.

The entire episode he tries to keep his distance from Phukong, obviously what Phukong said and did left an impression on him

Okay, I must admit the first scene he was in has thrown me off a little bit, but it still fits in with how I interpret what he is thinking, and that is that he is regretful, and doesn’t like the image of himself either internally or to Phukong. 

So, if this is correct, it explains why he goes and confronts those assholes

But what got me was his temper. 

This kind of reaction isn’t one you give to friends, or about something you were happy about having. I have thought before that he seems to feel things in extremes, I mean this dude stood up at the sight of Tine because he felt so overwhelmed. 

Anyways…

So I find it interesting that these punks felt the need to assure him that they didn’t intend to do anything more. Considering how relentless they were in beating up Sarawat, despite him not putting up anything of the fight.

What is also important to note is that Mil is not wise to Tine being hurt, only over the fact that he is regretful over hurting Sarawat, and that they shouldn’t have beaten up Sarawat and ganged up on him. 

He certainly has an attachment to Phukong otherwise he wouldn’t have kept his distance, treated him, or have this interaction with Jae Tun

It’s the fact that he said “he hates me”- it’s his perception because of what Phukong did and said 

But, to have this interaction alone, saying what he does with those expressions means that he is concerned about the image that Phukong has of himself, and he knows that that person looks so bad, and he doesn’t like that.

I’m sorry these screenshots are so bad…

This gets him thinking, and he probably does know that Phukong is interested in him because of the way that Phukong was with him… 

I also think that Phukong was mad about both things… it’s pretty low to not be affected about his brother getting injured.

But after this interaction and taking his leave from Phukong, he also leaves his treat for Phukong

Then later we get this interaction

That line seems self-deprecating… he doesn’t answer, instead he answers vaguely. 

And he honestly looks tired (again, these screenshots are hardly flattering). He is literally saying to put it in the past, and his expressions indicate that he is regretful of it happening in the first place 

Then we get this moment… and I think this is just enforcing what I tried to say at the beginning; he is putting distance between Phukong and himself

If he sussed that Phukong likes him (which I believe he does) it makes sense to hurt him in this way to get distance between them, the thing is, this is not because he doesn’t like him; I actually think it’s the opposite

First off the framing for this scene was too pivotal for it not to be meaningful for the both of them

And this guy literally decides that he needs to give Phukong something of his to remember him by…

But, you don’t hold it in his hands like that if you don’t care??

Then also says something along the lines of remember me when you do your exams

but these expressions… He is letting him go and it’s clearly something that he doesn’t want to have to do. 

Now the reason for this could be because he has some kind of role model complex, but this doesn’t work considering he only tutored Phukong after Phukong did that bet.

It could be because he doesn’t want to hurt Phukong because he doesn’t feel the same way, don’t believe this is true because of said expressions

It could be because he hates himself for what he said and did to Sarawat and feels that he has hurt Phukong enough and doesn’t deserve to have his adoration. This, I feel is the answer. 

This is not only for breaking Sarawat’s leg, I think this is also all the things he said about Sarawat

So I was very intrigued to see that he seemed to develop some dimension this episode…

He is obviously not forgiven, the thing that will make me believe that he has progressed would be to apologise… to Sarawat and Phukong, and Tine to be perfectly honest, and now next week he looks like he has gone straight back to how he was?

Look, Mil has actually shown to be caring by helping Tine from fainting (it seemed genuine, to a degree) and then also offering the food to Phukong in ep 4 and also in this episode (10), so he remains an enigma to me, but I thought it was interesting,  but he seems to have put things behind him, rather than actually tackle it and change.

Do you think ZhuZhi-Lang is a prototype Wen Ning? What was the narrative point of him dying in the end?

Hello Anon!

I’d definitely say that Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning are two socially awkward “monster” boys cut from the same cloth. Zhuzhi-Lang’s character does seem to provide the inspiration for Wen Ning as his MDZS counterpart, with their arcs even centering around similar hardships yet yielding contrasting endings.

At just a glance, in Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning, we see two young men who despite being belonging to the most powerful clans are still outcasts derided by society: Zhuzhi-Lang for his hideous snake-man appearance and Wen Ning for being a timid stutterer, a “Wen-dog” and of course, the much-feared Ghost General. Adding to Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning’s negative public images is the fact that they are the notorious right-hand men (and wingmen!) of someone regarded as society’s villain. And of course, we know that those so-called villains, Tianlang-Jun and Wei Wuxian, are far more complex than what society passes on as “facts”. Much like their right-hand men, both Wei Wuxian and Tianlang-Jun are misunderstood figures who, despite not being entirely innocent, have been shown to actually be victims of society first.

On this point, what’s observed through all these characters is the ever-recurring MXTX theme that the world, and people in particular, aren’t so black-and-white. What’s passed on as “truth” often isn’t accurate nor complete, and humanity exists amongst outcasts who are dehumanized. Sometimes, perhaps unsurprisingly, the ones who are able to recognize that fact most clearly are the very people considered “evil” by society. (Outcasts unite!)

Through the important relationships Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning have with Tianlang-Jung and Wei Wuxian respectively, we see the sides of them that tend to be ignored by society, arguably precisely because of how human those qualities are. 

Namely, they are notably two people struggling with their sense of self-worth after a lifetime of being looked down upon…Given that, it is understandable how they both can’t help but become (perhaps excessively) attached towards those who treat them kindly. For Zhuzhi-Lang, being nonchalantly taken in & given a human form/name by Tianlang-Jun and inadvertently saved by Shen Qianqiu was more than enough to earn them both a lifetime of selfless loyalty from him. For Wen Ning, the simple act of Wei Wuxian praising and standing up for him at one time left such an impact that it led him to risk his own safety to help Wei Wuxian during the Lotus Pier massacre and subsequently become one of his most devoted allies/followers.

As quoted by Zhuzhi-Lang, the phrase “a drop of kindness is repaid as a gushing spring” appears to be the philosophy that these two are dedicated to following.
