[id: 6 gifs from the cdrama “the untamed”. the background is a soft purple. a scene in episode 24 between jiang yanli and wei wuxian in lotus pier. 1st gif: yanli asks with a surprised expression, ‘why suddenly ask that? do you have someone in heart?’. 2nd gif: wei wuxian quickly says, ‘no, no, no, shijie. i haven’t got one.’ 3rd gif: wei wuxian admits, ‘at least... no need to like a person that much.’ 4th gif: wei wuxian continues, ‘wouldn’t that be like putting a noose around one’s own neck?’ a scene in episode 36; wei wuxian at lan wangji’s bed. 5th gif: he smiles at lan wangji and leans closer. then the camera cuts to the sleeping lan wangji. 6th gif: wei wuxian smiling, then bearing a pensive expression, as if he is considering something. in between the gifs fragments of the poem ‘salt’ by salma deera are scattered; together they read: ‘in front of my mother and sisters, i pretend love is cheap and vulgar. i act like it’s a sin- i pretend that love is for women on a dark path. but at night i dream of a love so heavy it makes my spine throb- i dream up a lover who makes love like he is separating salt from water.’ /end id]
