r/MoDaoZuShi

Every class in real life has at least one kid who's simping for their teacher it is realistic

I’m rewatching the cartoon and I don’t remember a lot of things about Mo Dao Zu Shi in general. In the cartoon Jin Zixuan was there when his clan was enslaving the Wen remnants, so was he okay with it? And when he died in Qiongqi Path, why was he there? He wanted to tell Wei Ying that Jiang Yanli was waiting for him, but was he not aware at all about the Jins going there to kill Wei Jing?

Do we know more about his thoughts during all of this?

He looks too pristine, I don't like it

I finished the novel and manhua, but must have missed some details. Can someone help answer the questions below? Thank you!
Knowing the responses will contain spoilers I have added that to the title of the post. (Not sure if I did it correctly).

1. Why does WWX call JC by his birth name even when JC calls WWX by his courtesy name?

2. When MY was given the letter of referral by NMJ to go to Langya to give to JGS, did MY do it? When NMJ asked JGS how MY was doing, JGS stated he did not know NMJ had sent his trusted aide over.

3. In the same chapter, after NMJ suspected something was amiss and went looking for MY on the battlefield and he witnessed MY killing a fellow Jin cultivator, MY had pretended to commit suicide. Why did MY pretend to commit suicide then froze NMJ’s meridians? MY is smart enough to know that is a move that will make him enemies with NMJ and lose all of NMJs trust.

4. During the siege on Lotus Pier, Madam Yu commanded ZiDian to bound both JC and WWX and said ZD will unbound them when they get to a safe place, except the boys came back hours later to LP. LP was still crawling with Wens yet ZD had already set the boys free. How is that safe?

5. At the Guan Yin temple, one of the boxes JGY had was NMJs head. Why did JGY bring it there? The box was also empty, so at what point did NMJs head reattached to the rest of his corpse which was supposed to be under the care of NHS?

Is it canon or fanon that WWX was not paid a salary? I can't remember if him using 'credit' in LP was from various fics, or the book.​​ Was he paid a salary after JWY became sect leader​? ​​​​​​​

I think Nie Huaisang intentionally tried set up Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. Or at least, he wanted them to work together to piece together his brother and expose Jin Guangyao

- Mo Xuanyu performed the sacrifice ritual the day before the Lan Clan disciples arrived at the Mo Estate

- The Mo estate had been plagued by walking corpses, leading to Madam Mo reaching out to the Lan Clan

- Nie Huaisang didn’t bat an eye when Lan Wangji carried “Mo Xuanyu” into the inn like a new bride

My theory is that Nie Huaisang lured the Lan disciples to the Mo Estate using walking corpses, and had Mo Xuanyu perform the ritual once they were on their way before throwing his brother’s arm onto the mix, guaranteeing a run-in between Lan Wanji and Wei Wuxian.

He studied with both of them in Gusu and is incredibly perceptive so he was aware of their mutual bond. I’d like to think he wanted to play matchmaker in addition to piecing together his brother’s body. Maybe he even chose a handsome cut-sleeve for the soul sacrifice to encourage Wei Wuxian to flirt. He also knew that Lan Wangji could temper Wei Wuxian and prevent him from going on a murder spree upon his return.

What do you all think? I just finished the novel and am obsessed, but I haven’t seen any of the other media.

Every single time I watch The Untamed, I am always blown away by Xue Yang and his actor. He dominates every single scene he's in. I just finished (re)watching the Coffin Town storyline, I can completely say that he is probably my favorite side character / side actor in this whole show. He perfectly encapsulates the maniac that Xue Yang is, while also making him a sympathetic character that you can't help but feel at least a LITTLE bit bad for. I felt my heart squeeze when his effort to bring back XXC as a puppet failed and he lost it, even though he's the reason all the bad shit happened to XXC and SL. I'm a lover of "dark(ish) romance", and while I wouldn't wish for XY and XXC to actually be a romantic subplot (XXC does NOT deserve ANY of that, he deserves SL and happiness and joy), I can't help but love the insanity and almost yandere-esque tendencies that XY has.

His actor was, of course, one of the main reasons for all this. He is amazing and portrays a wonderful Xue Yang, I can't imagine anyone else as him. I'm pretty sure Xiao Zhan (WWX actor) auditioned for XY and I'm SO glad he didn't get it. Not just because I absolutely love him as WWX, but because it means that Wang Haoxuan (XY actor) got the role. I genuinely cannot imagine ANYONE else as that sympathetic maniac.

All this to say, while XY definitely deserved the end that was coming to him and I am glad that he got it, I can't help but love any scene that he's in, especially because of Wang Haoxuan and his phenomenal acting.

I’ve always wanted to read that scene, sadly it was only told briefly from Lan Xichen’s pov while he was talking angrily to Wei Wuxian.

Idk if you can share some angsty fics, i want to have a good cry
