The Untamed - Nickname Edition
It took a surprisingly long time, but solo and I finally finished watching The Untamed. I really enjoyed it! So of course, there is a pressing issue I must adress: NICKNAMES.
For the purposes of clever (?) commentary,solo and I came up with a number of nicknames while watching. We replaced some with actual names in due course, but others stuck around till the very end. ;-) (I should add that few of them are complimentary - but my surprise fave is among those with a really bad nickname, so...)
I now have a number of burning questions for all of you. Namely:
1. Can you tell who these people are?*
2. Do you have nicknames for The Untamed characters?
3. Why does nobody appreciate my darling properly?
So many qestions!
*If anyone guesses all of the nicknames, I will write a drabble for them. ;-)
ETA: Unsurprisingly, there are spoilers in the comments! Just in case anyone is even slower than I in watching this. ;-)

- Jin Douche
- Canary Guy
- Sulkmeister
- Pretty Evil Guy, or PEG for short - also known as Cray Evil Guy by solo (who failed to appreciate his charms)
- Jin Douche.2, or JD2
- Slimeface, also Slimedude or Slimer
- Cute Baby Cultivator, or CBC
- Jim, also known as Golden Guy - named Jim because of solo's passionate non-spellchecked outbursts of "I really hate jim"
- Bonus nickname I came up with too late, but that I wish I had though of in time: Soup Girl

no subject
I think JD2 is used to constant free-floating disapproval, arbitrary sternness with no positive reinforcement, and impossibly high demands that are never clearly explained. So I actually imagine he would do very well with the Lan approach, and wouldn't find it torturous at all. :-) Plus WWX would occasionally drop by and actually be nice to him and indicate he's a good kid! It'd be unprecedented warmth and affection.
(The fact that the Lan clan seems to have no rules against having sex with prisoners did stick very unpleasantly in my mind, though.)
