Whumptober Day 20: Found Family
Ji Xue spins the token between her fingers as she perches on the roof of the Snowfall Villa.
The White Tiger has been hers for as long as she can remember. It had been her father’s, of course, but she always knew that one day it would be passed down to her just as the Baixiao Sect would. She had trained all her life for this. It’s what she’s always wanted.
Sitting above, alone, watching the group gathered below, she suddenly, viscerally, hates it.
She has everything she’s trained so long for, she has everything she had prepared for, and yet now all she can see is everything she has never had.
Xiao Chuhe had been her father’s disciple, they had spent hours training together. He’s a new man now. They’ve changed him – he’s changed himself. The Baixiao Sect make a point of knowing everything: she knows he had no choice but to create himself anew, after everything he had lost. But seeing him now with her own two eyes is different.
She’d thought. Well. She knew Xiao Chuhe well. He was powerful. Righteous. Arrogant. He’d been like the brother she never had, that she wouldn’t admit to wanting. She had thought about him often in the years since his banishment. Had missed him. Had wondered how everything would have changed him. Had wondered if he had missed her.
Of course he hadn’t.
While she’d been busy training for her birthright, busy missing him, he’d found himself a new family, one that doesn’t tear him apart the way his father and uncle did, the way his brothers did, the way just existing in Tianqi City did. She has no place in it.
Losing his power and having to rely on others hasn’t weakened him. He’s only grown stronger, and Ji Xue is still here, just as she has been. Running a sect alone. Stagnant.
She wants to throw the token marking her position as one of the guardians at him. Wants to snap it. To shout.
She won’t, though. Because he’s still her family. Even if she’s not his anymore.

ngl, I'd pay to see the Cellblock Tango number from Chicago as performed by actors cosplaying all the iconic poor little meows meows from MXTX's novels lol
(bonus points if a Wei Wuxian cosplayer plays the one innocent accused inmate in the number. Wen Chao whoms't? shhh!)

GZY & GSJ knew!
such a good shot (also side note, when i saw this and the other gif of the other group of Gongs, I kind of knew spoiler wise who were going to make it to the end/near the end.)
That's where the mysterious weapon box came from! At least that was explained. Bc I was so confused on why she and YWS were cool with each other, and then Lady Wu Ji was like here's a gift from your father-in-law only for it to harm YWS.
Look at them working together!
Does GYZ seriously test every poison and antidote he makes on himself??
Got to be happy about the sailing ship and their happiness before it comes crashing down in the last episode 😭😭

I just had an epiphany that most of the Blood of Youth characters I headcannon as asexual wear ace colors. Coincidence? Probably
