Today's random fandom thought:

Thinking about the differences between novel MDZS and tv series The Untamed canon - more specifically Su She choosing to whisk Xue Yang's body away vs leaving him in Yi City to die.

Because setting any potential personal loyalty or possible friendship reasons aside - it would make sense to not, you know. Leave the corpse of a person who knows everything about the murder mystery and JGY's involvement behind anywhere near the Yiling Laozu.

Because if Wei Wuxian really wanted answers, he could just. Ask.

So presenting you with the possibility the Untamed events offer: Wei Wuxian raises Xue Yang as a sentient fierce corpse and commands him to talk. He's the Yiling Laozu, the most powerful demonic cultivator ever. Xue Yang may be stubborn, but as Wei Wuxian's personal fierce corpse, I don't think he could really refuse.

And if Wei Wuxian was curious enough to look for more answers... the specifics of what happened to his shishu Xiao Xingchen... Xue Yang might grind his teeth about it (and very possibly be surprised by the truth himself), but would have to confess how much he misses him, and why he really wanted him back.

Maybe the truth'd be pitiful and tragic enough that Wei Wuxian felt conflicted about re-deading him after getting his answers. Maybe having an insider informant on their team would make fierce corpse Xue Yang useful enough to keep around until they've solved everything about the murder mystery, over at the conference in Jinlintai. Something, something, handwave - WangXian have another third wheel fierce corpse now.

I don't know. I just find the idea of very unwilling fierce corpse Xue Yang getting dragged along and (extremely grudgingly) helping them solve murder mysteries hilarious.

So much potential for angst, snark, reluctant bonding and all that other really good stuff. 🥰

#the untamed #mdzs #xue yang #at least wen ning is a well-behaved and quiet corpse #xue yang would gladly send them walking into a volcano #if he could manage it #imagine lcx rolling up to jinlintai with his uninvited little brother and TWO masked mystery men #jgy KNOWS who they are of COURSE he knows #the awkward arrival scene just got 10x more awkward #the dimples of panic have reached critical mass
