The Untamed - Nickname Edition
Dec. 17th, 2019 06:07 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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. ;-)

- 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

And yes, PEG is Xue Yang - though Jin Guangyao is also represented in the list. I know many people like him, but to me he seemed incredibly shifty and untrustworthy from the start, sooooo... yeah.
JIANG YANLIIIII!LOVE HER!I need a shijie like her in my life!
She is indeed awesome!! I think everyone should have a shijie like her - although TBH, her soup... didn't look terribly tasty to me. This seems like blasphemy, but there it is. ;-)

When she made it the first time, she was incredibly proud of herself and watching her brothers like a hawk as they tried it - she had never cooked anything before, as the pampered daughter of the sect leader. It was watery and tasteless and just *odd*, but her brothers pretended to love it to make her happy... and as a result, she just *kept making it*. The exact same way. Their entire lives.
