Untamed rewatch notes 11-15
Mar. 9th, 2020 09:32 pmIt really does stand out, the deeper into shit they all get, that Wei Wuxian has oldest child syndrome in the /worst/ way (despite it actually being Jiang Yanli who's eldest). He tries to take everything on his own shoulders, be the lightning rod for everyone. Every time Jiang Cheng opens his mouth in front of a hostile party, WWX is immediately there with a more offensive quip to focus hostility on himself, behavior he promptly extends to Lan Wangji. And, of course, both Jiang parents play straight into it by telling /him/ to take care of the other two.
Honestly, it's no wonder both Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji resort to straight up shielding WWX with their bodies, because what else can you /do/ with him?
I do find it interesting that Jiang Cheng keeps saying, at least before the cave, that LWJ dislikes WWX and therefore WWX should stop bugging him, because if you track JC it's pretty clear that he's noticed that LWJ actually tolerates behavior from WWX that he would freeze out in anyone else. So now JC is trying to separate them from WWX's end.
Noticed in particular, this time, the bit about WWX not knowing what to do with being thanked.
And, of course, this set of episodes has LWJ's little revelation in the cave when they're talking about Mian-mian and WWX suggests that LWJ must like her. Which I would translate less as "how can one person be so oblivious" (that's what /we're/ thinking) and more "you like... wait, you think I like... /wait/, like as in Like like, and yes I do but not her... OMG". The anvil descends.
