18. You can bring back one dead character, but you have to trade one surviving character for them. Who would they be?

Oh that's easy. Sect Leader Yao. There is absolutely no version of the Untamed universe that would not be better without Sect Leader Yao (well, except maybe the fanfictional world, which thoroughly enjoys trashing and mashing him at ( Read more... )

17. Which character(s) would you resurrect?

As in actually resurrect (they do too die and then magically come back, more or less and how much more or less?) or as in 'authorial intervention means they never die' resurrect? And as in 'handwave canon' or just 'fanfictionally fixit?"

Whatever way it means, it's a harder question than it would seem and ( Read more... )

16. Most appealing point for a canon divergence AU

Now that's difficult, and I don't think I have any specific or even general preferences. There are heaps of places where fanfiction has thrown a divergence spanner in the plotworks - both as a fix it and (on rare occasions) a "you think it can't get worse? Hah!!" right from when the characters ( Read more... )

15. Favorite conversation between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji

Episode 20. Probably not many folks' favourite, but the standoff between them in Yiling in Episode 20 ( cut because I'm not sure if it's spoilery or not... )

14. Favorite hurt/comfort moment

There is a lot of hurt in this show, and a really decent amount of comfort (mostly once we reset to the present - the flashback tends to be heavier on the pain). So there's quite a bit to choose from... umm. I think two moments come to mind ( which probably need to be cut for spoilers, yes... )

13. Favourite Lan clan rule

Well, there are a hell of a lot to choose from - 3000, carved on a stone wall, at the start of the saga and they only increase as time goes on...

And never underestimate fandom, because the ones actually named in the original novel and various adaptations have been collected and collated, as in this list (the ones ( Read more... )

12. Favourite spiritual weapon

I'm a sucker for magical music, so Wei Wuxian's and Lan Xichen's flutes, and the Lans' (and even Jin Guangyao's) guqins make me enormously happy.

11. Favorite villain

It may be the obvious choice - it is the loweringly obvious choice - but ( I've cut for the spoiler anyway... )

10. Favorite supporting & minor characters

Apart from the two leads, everyone I've mentioned so far is supporting, I guess... and to be honest, the show doesn't have many minor characters at all.

So leaving aside everyone I mentioned in Q3 and Q4, I would say Lan Xichen. He is anything but perfect true, but his faults are ones I can see myself ( Read more... )

9. Favorite set

There's a library in the clouds. This is me, and there's a library in the clouds. I could probably happily live in the library in the clouds.
