      So, You're Considering Selling Your Soul To The Untamed: a primer thread for @AlixEHarrow and anyone else looking to yeet themselves headfirst into the abyss.

      The Untamed, aka Chen Ching Ling, aka CQL, is a live-action xianxia drama adaptation of the BL novel Mo Dao Zu Shi, aka MDZS, aka Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, by Chinese writer Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. It's as gay on screen as Chinese censorship allows for.

      Structurally, it's split into two timelines: the narrative present day, and the events of 16 years ago. The first 2.5 eps are set in the present and function as a Greek chorus, as we then jump back 16 years to see Where It All Began for 30-odd eps before rejoining the now.

      On a practical level, this means the first 2.5 eps give you a lot of information to absorb very quickly, not all of which will immediately make sense, as you, like newly-resurrected protagonist Wei Wuxian, are trying to figure out what's going on.

      And I do mean "newly resurrected" in the literal sense. This is why I say the first two eps are a Greek chorus: they effectively portend the tragedies of the past that you're about to see while also telling you that those tragedies aren't the end; things will continue.

      With all that being established, who are the characters? I'm going to try and group them together in a way that makes sense to how you encounter the story. SO:

      First up, we have the protagonists, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. They are the show's romantic pairing and its narrative backbone, so let's take them one at a time.

      Meet Wei Wuxian, aka Wei Ying, aka the Yiling Laozu. Taken in by the Jiang Clan as a child after his parents were killed, he's an incredibly gifted cultivator and, at the outset, something of a cocky troublemaker. He also believes in justice over convention.pic.twitter.com/NHauR9yjRD

      Note: at the start of the show, Wei Wuxian has been dead for over a decade, and is brought back to life by a spell called Sacrifice Summon, wherein a young man - called Mo Xuanyu gives up his life to reincarnate Wei Wuxian. As such, Wei Wuxian initially pretends to be Mo Xuanyu.

          Wei Wuxian's family are the Jiang Clan; Lan Wangji's family are the Lan Clan. Let's start with their respective siblings.

          This is Jiang Cheng, aka Jiang Wanyin, Wei Wuxian's martial brother. Jiang Cheng is a great big ball of Feelings who really needs a hug. His primary mode of expressing affection is anger, and also he has a purple lightning whip called Zidian, which is very sexy of him.pic.twitter.com/mCvnIYOQ3R

          Jiang Yanli is Jiang Cheng's older sister, and thus Wei Wuxian's martial elder sister (shijie). She cares for her idiot brothers when their shared braincell goes astray, which is often. In love with Jin Zixuan (more of whom later). Maker of pork rib and lotus soup.pic.twitter.com/XRnwK7GBQO

          On the Lan side, we have Lan Wangji's elder brother Lan Xichen, aka Lan Huan, aka the First Jade of Lan. Ships his brother and Wei Wuxian like it's his job and lowkey horny as fuck for Meng Yao (more of whom later). Mostly gentle and calm but dangerous in battle.pic.twitter.com/TDcf1BhfGz

          There are more Lans and Jiangs, but we'll get back to them later, when we do the clan leaders and the Juniors Quartet: before that, though, we're going to take a look at the main players from the other main cultivation clans: the Nie, the Wen and the Jin.

          Nie Huaisang, later called the Headshaker, is a himbo-passing intellectual who prefers artistic pursuits and bird-catching to swordplay. A close friend of Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng who gets into shenanigans with the three of them when they're teenagers.pic.twitter.com/padFjDvMnY

          His older brother is Nie Mingjue, aka da-ge, aka Chifeng-zun. Nie Mingjue is a MAN, and he has the moustache to prove it. A walking sexual awakening and reluctant twink-wrangler, he is very tired of political bullshit and would just like to sword things, thank you.pic.twitter.com/9vI4bx2Xai

          Sitting somewhere between the Nie and the Jin is Meng Yao, later known as Jin Guangyao and Lianfang-zun. He's the bastard son of the Jin sect-leader and when we first meet him, he and his dimples work for Nie Mingjue. Wants to get RAILED by Lan Xichen (who wants this also).pic.twitter.com/7AJhNZZb46

          Starting for the Jin Sect, we have sect heir Jin Zixuan, aka The Peacock, aka Jiang Yanli's betrothed and crush. He's initially a rude awkward dick, but he gets better with time. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng Do Not Like Him. Has one (1) friend and the world's worst dad.pic.twitter.com/5zpfo1h15E

          The one friend in question is Mianmian, aka Luo Qingyang, not a Jin by birth but a Jin disciple. Kind, snarky, virtuous and loyal, she has more braincells than most of the rest of the cast put together. Too perfect for this world, we have no choice but to stan.pic.twitter.com/BITLB0j02n

          And then we have the Wen Clan, who come in two flavours: the Qishan Wen, who are power-hungry assholes, and their Dafan Mountain cousins, a family of doctors trying to navigate family loyalty to shitty relatives while trying not to get killed or be shitty themselves.

          Returning now to the adults in the cultivation world, we have the elders/leaders of the clans - they matter a great deal to the plot in narrative terms, but don't show up as much as the younger generations. When they do, though, it matters.

          With that done, there's only two main groups left, and I've arguably saved the best for last: the Juniors Quartet, who appear in the present-day timeline, and the Yi City Squad, who show up mostly in their own bits in the past. I'll start with the juniors.
