28. Which two characters who haven't interacted in canon would you like to have meet, and how would it go?

It's surprising how few 'twosomes' there are, y'know; in the small and rather insular cultivation society most of the characters I like have either definitely met or given what we know they must have...

But actually, this one is pretty easy ( Read more... )

27. Favourite canon horror moment

There are probably more generally effective bits, but for me it's episode 20 (  and cut for spoilers... )

26. Darkest/saddest canon moment

You mean besides the cliff moment that we get to see in the first ten minutes and then, if that's not enough, have to see again with lots more detail and pain and heartwreck, at the end of the flashback?

Yeah, well. Besides that.

There are quite a lot (people we have learn to like or love die all over the place, in ( Read more... )

25. Favourite 'small' canon moments

Not sure what this means but I'll give it a shot - one favourite quick bit with most of the characters I love best (note, for most of this lot I have more than one of course, but these are moments I happily rewatch...

Wei Wuxian - dozing off when he and Lan Wangji are meditating... and ending up slumped on Lan ( Read more... )

24. Funniest canon moment

(And they are for the most part moments - the series doesn't have much large. 'set' comic scenes but rather likes to sprinkle in the funny bits.)

I'd say for me it's a tie: I've already mentioned the 'Lan Wangji is a chaotic drunk' business in episode 36, with its chickens...

23. Favorite battle couple moment

We're back to the Burial Mounds, and ( the fight I mentioned in Question 2... )

22. Favorite soft moment

Wen Ning on the pier in episode 45, approaching Lan Sizhui so carefully, the fearsome Ghost General so afraid and timid and yet with so much hope... Lan Sizhui handles it all with such respect and courtesy. And the grass butterfly! Any viewer who doesn't melt into a puddle of softness is a granite-hearted grouch.

21. Favorite badass moment

Umm, this may sound odd, but for me there are two moments, and both involving... walking up stairs.

Really. Lan Wangji in episode 19, climbing the Nightless City steps like a pissed-off angel of war; Wei Wuxian in episodes 20 going up that dark staircase, a young demon imaginable and out for revenge. It's the promise of ( Read more... )

20. Favorite character moments

There are lots, but I've picked five... ( an angry zombie facing down his nemesis and how, an oh so delicate darling, The Best Teacher, a Jade who's completely blotto but still awesome and the other Jade being protective under duress... )

19. When do you think Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji get together?

Pretty much as soon as the final credits roll... given the final minute before said roll is... this :)

It's really more a question of how much time lapsed between ( this spoilery point... )
