Is The Untamed 《陈情令》a good adaptation? Emiloid 2024-10-31 | On this Halloween, Wei Wuxian's birthday, and end of MXTXober, I dissect 'The Untamed' as a book adaptation, where it succeeded and where it didn't.

The Untamed《陈情令》and the Witch Archetype | Video Essay Emiloid 2023-10-31 | In honor of Wei Wuxian's birthday, MXTXober, and Halloween, here is an interpretation and analysis of our favorite necromancer in terms of the Witch across history, belief, and pop culture.A couple notes: - In this video I pronounce "Taoist" with an aspirated "t" when it should be pronounced more like "Daoist." Mea culpa.- My Chinese pronounciation is generally inconsistent in accuracy.

The Untamed: Full Series Review Emiloid 2021-03-14 | I'm doing what I've wanted to do for a while - talking about my favorite series I watched in 2020 - The Untamed! I talk generally about the show's high points and a bit about how the series has influenced me as a witch. There is so much to say about this show and there was no way I could talk about every single thought I had while watching it, so I'm definitely thinking of making more content around it in the future!Also, a disclaimer - I know a lot of my pronunciation of a lot of the Mandarin names is strange, and I probably didn't get the tones right some of the time. I don't speak Mandarin natively, but I am working on my speaking skills at the moment.AvenueX's review of The Untamed: youtube.com/watch?v=DF7t0gwR6Lo&t=982sA very helpful guide to the characters and world of The Untamed: docs.google.com/document/d/1UDfxjqkGpsqvqMaBC77LLnuUE2ihjE-UWcwA0ZLjKwE/editHong Kong Democracy: standwithhongkong.carrd.coUyghur Human Rights: uhrp.org/what-you-can-doWHERE TO FIND ME:Instagram: instagram.com/emiloid_readsTwitter: twitter.com/Emiloid_readsGoodreads: goodreads.com/user/show/11492243-emily-l
