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.

Head of the Wen Clan, Wen Ruohan. Kicks off the plot by getting obsessed with evil Yin Iron and trying to take over the cultivation world. Literally has an evil throne in a palace surrounded by lava. Bad guy.pic.twitter.com/ldPSTUzVGj

Lan Qiren, elder of the Lan Clan and uncle to Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen. His clan has three thousand rules graven in stone on a wall and he loves every single one of them. Obsessed with the letter of the law to the point of sometimes forgetting its spirit, but not actually bad.pic.twitter.com/FaYYFlLUhw

Finally for the clan leaders, we have Jin Guangshan, aka World's Worst Dad To All His Bastard Children. Rich skeezeball dad of Jin Zixuan and Meng Yao. A missing stair in human form.pic.twitter.com/E3dGq4qQP8

And for completion's sake, here are some clan bit players: three dudes who suck and a woman who deserves better. L to R, top to bottom, they are: Su She, aka Su Minshan (originally a Lan disciple); Jin Zixun (shitty Jin cousin), Wen Xu (Wen Chao's bro) and Qin Su (a Jin wife).pic.twitter.com/jiybJ1kqcJ

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.

First among juniors, we have Lan Sizhui, aka Lan Wangji's son. Precious angel. A good sweet boy who is kind and clever and deserves the world. The first person to show compassion to newly-resurrected Wei Wuxian in his guise as Mo Xuanyu.pic.twitter.com/mrwmddX8fH

Also from the Lans, we have Lan Jingyi, aka Lan Sizhui's loudmouth BFF. Snarky on main and not afraid to tell you to shut up.pic.twitter.com/2Xd7zIoVYw

Ouyang Zizhen is a curious, loyal, outspoken friend to Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi and Jin Ling. His dad sucks, so let's assume he takes after his mother.pic.twitter.com/WpHUxpNaGq

Rounding out the juniors is Jin Ling, aka Jin Rulan, the son of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. About two seconds away from yelling at all times, he has several chips on his shoulder. Takes after Jiang Cheng a lot. Absolutely needs a hug but would stab you before admitting it.pic.twitter.com/reKIgZixTH

And then there's the Yi City Squad. Let's start with Xue Yang, a sexy murder puppy whose main emotions are Stab and Flirt. Does not make good life choices, but does so in a very compelling way.pic.twitter.com/teJVlVBgDV

Next is Xiao Xingchen, aka the bright moon and gentle breeze. Too good for this sinful world. Gay for Song Lan (and possibly Xue Yang, depending on your preferences).pic.twitter.com/Ug8D8Gtu2C

Song Lan, aka Song Zichen, aka the distant snow and cold frost. Gay for Xiao Xingchen, but with Angst.pic.twitter.com/VkIeJ07wwB

And finally, we have A-Qing, a mischevious girl who is not as blind as she pretends to be. Sort of Xiao Xingchen's adoptive daughter.pic.twitter.com/9lvpsZtzhL

OH ALSO there's Clan Leaders Yao and Ouyang, who really only show up to talk shit about everyone else and be smug assholes, but they're plot relevant I GUESS so here they are.pic.twitter.com/x05nvwgok0

And there you have it: your guide to The Untamed, a show about the Venn diagram of overlap between being gay, doing crimes and fighting The Man for justice. Also there are occasional bunnies! COME WATCH IT AND YELL WITH US.

Coming back on this thread to apologise for miswriting Chen Qing Ling as Cheng Ching Ling in an earlier tweet; I should’ve double checked it before posting.
