Do you like everyone from Red army? Can you rank the 5 based on how much you like them? ;3

alva-radio answered:

I LOVE EVERYONE FROM THE RED ARMY, which is exactly why it’s so hard for me to rank them and since two of them don’t have their route out in English yet, I’m pretty sure this ranking will change, but in the meantime, here’s where they stand in my heart♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

And so, I present to you a badly illustrated guide to my personal ranking of the red army(and what I like most about them):

#1-Edgar

He’s the guy you expect to be all nice and proper with a whole lot of scheming, but then he just shows that sparkle of childlike excitement at everything he’s NOT supposed to be and it’s just the most magical thing ever. ALSO THE WAY HE’S WRITTEN ILLUSTRATES SO WELL HOW HE CHANGES FROM A FAKE SMILE TO A REAL ONE AND I SOB EVERY TIME, I LOVE HIM.

#2-Jonah

I really respect him and the pride he has for his whole family. I also LOVE watching him fall hard from so high and his jealousy bits, but his over-the-topness really does it for me.

#3-Zero

I can’t put into words how sweet he is from only the interactions we’ve had with him so far. He’s such a sweetheart and always worries for Alice and his comrades. Has a membership to common sense.

#4-Kyle

An actual disaster, but darn is he not here to slap his buddies with some truths. I’m also impressed at how passionate he feels towards his professional life. Second member of the common sense team.

#5-Lancelot

A self-sacrificing boyo, does the right thing in THEORY which always end up being terrible on him. I just love how silly he can get when he’s not feeling pressured by his role.

So yah, I like Red Army a bunch, thanks a bunch for the ask, anon(๑˘︶˘๑)

“Nope, not at all”(*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)♡

Luka’s exempt from White day because he’s a man who unknowingly celebrates White Day every day since he drinks a lot of that love girlfriend juice

Fighting style vs Personality

I like how people’s fighting style in MDZS doesn’t always match their at-first-brush personality, but is actually a solid hint at who they are deep down.

Lan Wangji is a distant, reserved person who is always elegant, quiet and rule abiding at first glance. 

In combat though, he is a hardcore solo front-line fighter.   He usually seems to cultivate alone (when he isn’t chaperoning juniors) and in war he is right there.  He earned that reputation for being where the chaos is.  In episode 15 he is all alone on a rooftop, and all alone knocks aside an entire army’s arrows with a strum of his guqin.  When the others follow his order to start formations you can see that he is even-with, or in-front of the protective barriers.  Fearless.

Wei WuXian is a reckless person, dashing into the middle of things and flouting rules left and right from the moment you meet him.

During a fight however, he is very meticulous and tactical.  Observing and analyzing his opponents while staying out of their reach until he gets a grasp on things, then going in for the kill.  After losing his core and being devoted to Demonic Cultivation he becomes even more so - an overseeing general puppeteering an army from a distance.

Jiang Cheng seems like the aloof, commanding leader type.  He’s usually barking orders at people and leaning on intimidation to maintain his position.

Put him on a battlefield though, and instead of a distant commander, he’s a mid-range army captain.  Right in the thick of the men leading the charge instead of standing apart.  He follows battle plans and can formulate them on the fly, but he does better when he’s part of a team following a grand plan.

Nie Mingjue seems like he’d be a brute - he’s straightforwardly itching for a fight from the moment he appears.

And he is to an extent, but he’s also a very competent, politically savvy military leader.  He isn’t there just for his own glory or the thrill of hacking a guy with his saber.  He’s leading an idealistic rebellion, the ultimate commander of a combined army, holding it all together with the strength of his personailty and conviction and aiming himself at the tactically sound targets of the enemy leaders, not gunning for any fight he can get.  Though the politically savvy part eventually got him killed as he would have had less trouble if he’d gone the non-PR rout of decapitating Meng Yao like he wanted to.

Jin Ling is a pretty princess, turning his nose up at things and complaining all the time you would expect him to be delicate and hang back, complaining for someone to save him.

On a hunt or fight, he is every bit as reckless and dashing headlong into a fight as Wei WuXian isn’t.  He runs ahead alone, investigated the creepy burial place alone, he never runs, no matter what he’s up against.  He’ll fight till he wins or gets killed.

Lan Sizhui seems like a perfect Lan, upholding their ideal 24/7.

In a fight though, he is ready and willing to improvise.  He takes new information and tactics, and adapts his strategy and just runs with it - even if it comes from a lunatic.  He follows his gut instinct almost constantly and is quick about making connections between different, sometimes illogical information someone else would dismiss to get to the heart of things.

Lan Jingyi is excitable and loud, he seems like a spaz and could easliy have been a bumbling clutz to Lan Sihzui’s straight man.

At the Mo manor though, it wasn’t Lan Sizhui that took control of the crowd of people in the novel.  It was Lan Jingyi.  His skillset isn’t flashy, but he is good a managing and controlling situations so that someone a bit stronger can have free reign to do their thing, and that’s how he’s a perfect teammate to Lan Shizui.
