The Untamed - Nickname Edition

[rheasilvia]

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...)

• Stoneface


• 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

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. ;-)

Aww. LOL! Why you gotta do poor stoneface Lan Wangji like that? :|

Huh. Let's see. For the rest, my guesses would be...

Jin Douche - Jin Zixuan

Canary Guy - I have NO IDEA. Wei Wuxian?

Sulkmeister - Maybe Jiang Cheng?

Pretty Evil Guy - Xue Yang (He *is* pretty)

Jin Douche.2, or JD2 - er...Zixuan's son, Jin Ling. (Or maybe the arrogant cousin)

Slimeface, also Slimedude or Slimer - Meng Yao

Cute Baby Cultivator, or CBC - Lan Yuan

Jim, also known as Golden Guy - Jin Guangshan

Soup Girl - Jiang Yanli

Hee, perfect emoticon is perfect! Why indeed? ;-) But we did learn to read his stoneface better as the series went on...

Canary Guy - I have NO IDEA. Wei Wuxian?

This is Nie Huaisang, who is my second favorite, and who smuggled a canary into a Lan sect lesson at the beginning of the drama.

Xue Yang (He *is* pretty)

He is, isn't he? I even suspect WWX was copying his style in some moments. But what a shame about his personality...

Jin Douche.2, or JD2 - er...Zixuan's son, Jin Ling. (Or maybe the arrogant cousin)

True, that clan has a lot of douches to choose from. But you're right! In this case it was the new edition of a timeless classic. ;-)

Jim, also known as Golden Guy - Jin Guangshan

That actually makes a lot of sense, but we didn't really have a nickname for Jin Guangshan - maybe just Jin Dad or something boring like that. This dude is actually a pretty minor character, and I don't know his real name, I confess. He most often appears in an ostentatious golden robe and likes to pontificate and spout uninformed opinions.

I should really find out who he is, shouldn't I!

Wow, you got a lot of them right. Very impressive! :-)

Ah yes, of course! Those boys and their hijinx. Hee.
