Blood of Youth is so special～

TO THIS DAY LI HONGYI AS XIAO SE IS HAUNTING ME～

[suchanghes]

---

Sikong Changfeng had been there when Baili Dongjun announced the treaty, had witnessed how Baifa xian stood protectively before Ye Anshi, how he'd reluctantly left to discuss matters with Baili Dongjun.

His heart had ached at the sight of the kid valiantly doing his best to put on a brave front even as his bottom lip trembled, as he desperately clung onto Ziyi hou’s hand.

For them to bring such a young child to a battlefield, to a place where hundreds called for the death of his father— he couldn't imagine how the kid must feel.

(He thinks back to his daughter waiting for his return, and he can't help feeling a twinge of sympathy for the kid).

It feels like an eternity before Baili Dongjun and Baifa returns, both sides hesitant to act without direction from their leaders.

They announce a twelve year treaty, and Ye Anshi cowers further into Ziyi hou’s robes, refusing to stay with Baili Dongjun.

Privately, he thinks that Ye Anshi would've been better off leaving with Baifa and Ziyi— the poor boy would be persecuted on either side, anyway— at least with Baifa, their people wouldn't try anything too extreme with them in charge.

(And he hadn't missed that brief flash of heartbreak that flickered across Baifa’s face as Baili Dongjun took Ye Anshi away).

That was probably the cruellest blow they could've dealt to them, Sikong Changfeng thinks. In all these months of fighting against the Demon sect, this was the first time he'd seen Baifa and Ziyi look so lost.

It was something he wishes he hadn't witnessed— their care for the kid made them less of a demon and more human— how was he to fight them in good conscience in the future?

He watches them bid farewell to the kid, reassuring Ye Anshi that Beili was as good a place to stay as any, and that they would personally come to fetch him in twelve years.

And he shouldn't be feeling so sympathetic to someone who had killed his own people, but as a parent, he understood the pain— he'd hardly been able to leave Qianluo home alone when he'd left.

(Perhaps, if their priorities did not differ so much, they could have been friends in another life).

[linoisacutebean]

Hi. Just come to say that everyone should go watch Blood of Youths it is truly one of the best wuxias I have ever watched and one of the best historical dramas I have watched.

[rose-tinted-vision]

Fandom: Dashing Youth (少年白马醉春风)

Relationship: Mo Qixuan & Ye Anshi, Zi Yuji & Ye Anshi, Established Qixuan/Yuji

Summary:

“I seem to remember a story titled Beique’s three heroes.” Wu Xin states, staring into the darkness that seemed to stretch endlessly from the edge of the cliff, seamlessly blending into the horizon, “But the person who told me the story never did tell me the ending."

“There was no ending.” Qixuan mutters, his gaze falling to the ground.

Twelve years ago, Mo Qixuan had to learn how to look after a kid.

yk what I had another Zibai (Qixuan/Yuji) fic that i had written three quarters of but these images made the brainrot hit hard

Asian dramas and relationship dynamics

There are my favorite relationship dynamics as a list. Opposites attract + power couple

Drama: I Am Nobody /  异人之下 Characters: Zhuge Qing & Wang Ye Screentime: Minor I like it when characters are different in a way they could complement one another, but at the same time they are similar in terms of what is important for people to stay stuck together. Zhuge Qing is public, easy-going and wants to be friends with Wang Ye. Wang Ye is mysterious, reflexive and doesn't want to be bothered by other people. But no one can beat extrovert if he decided to be friends with you =) Plus, they are united by their superpowers: they are both powerful sorcerers and their sorcery is very similar in its nature. So they can compete and learn from each other and, if necessary, kick enemy's ass together. ̶A̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶d̶y̶n̶a̶m̶i̶c̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶g̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶B̶L̶ ̶v̶i̶b̶e̶s.̶ By the end of season 1 they are OK and together.

Drama: Mysterious Lotus Casebook / 莲花楼 Characters: Di Feisheng & Li Lianhua Screentime: Secondary Di Feisheng is a leader of a demonic sect, a former slave and a very straightforward man. Li Lianhua is a former leader of a righteous sect and an extremely sly man with not-so-bad background. But both of them are the best martial artists in Jianghu and went through a lot together. One wants everyone to leave him alone, another wants to be with him together forever. Both of them don't give a damn about everything that happens in the world but they care for each other. B̶L̶-̶v̶i̶b̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶h̶e̶d̶.̶ The ending of the drama is obscure but I'd like to think they both are alive and happy together.

Drama: The Blood of Youth / 少年歌行 Characters: Xiao Se & Ye Anshi Screentime: Secondary A leader of a demonic sect who has an ultimate martial knowledge and a former best righteous martial artist, who is suffering from decease and can't fight anymore. What can unite them? The answer is: the similar mindset. They both had a great power and lost it, they both are shouldering great responsibilities which don't make them happy. Despite the fact that they should be on the opposite sides in Jianghu world, they are still good friends. M̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶B̶L̶-̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶,̶ ̶a̶l̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶X̶i̶a̶o̶ ̶S̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶g̶i̶r̶l̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶.̶ There is a small extra ep at the end of drama, when they meet each other again in a very romantic way. Just search for it.

Drama: The Legends / 招摇 Characters: Lu Shiqi & Qin Qianxian Screentime: Minor She is from a demonic sect. He is from a righteous one. She is immune to the impact of spiritual power. He is the one of the most powerful people in terms of spiritual power. She is dumb, straightforward and pure-hearted. He is blissed yet sensible and burdened with difficult moral choices. They could be an ideal Yin-Yang couple. But they have BE, because it's "The Legends", everyone should die in here Т_Т.

Pride and Prejudice + power couple

Drama: The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity / 晴雅集 Characters: Bo Ya & Qing Ming Screentime: Main This dynanics is similar with the previous one, but here we are focused on how they ended up together. Bo Ya has prejudice against demons-yao and believes all of them should be executed. He meets half-demon-sorcerer Qing Ming who helps him to overcome his prejudice. Finally, they become friends (or̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶) and together they win over the evil forces. At the end they are separated but there is a hope they meet again.

Drama: Wuliang / 无量 Characters: Po Xiao & Feng Ren Screentime: Main People of different social status both seek to get a magical sutra. During a road trip they exchange opinions on the sutra and how to use it and change each other's mind. In the end it turns out that they together saved the world and can be finally together. As friends, of course.

Drama: Oh No! Here Comes Trouble / 不良執念清除師 Characters: Pu Yiyong & Cao Guangyan Screentime: Main Pu Yiyong looks like lowlife, studies very bad and hates Cao Guangyan, who is self-confident, smart and thinks low of Pu Yiyong. But a mysterious case with ghosts forces them to interact and they find out, that together they are a perfect team. Honestly speaking, this little series couldn't develop this topic as good as I hoped, but it's a really interesting story, so you can watch it for the ghost detective plot and get this type of relationship in addition. It's a Taiwanese drama, so BL-jokes and dalliance with a viewer were huge, but it didn`t help much. Still a nice dynamics and a good drama. Us vs the World

Drama: The Untamed / 陈情令 Characters: Wei Wuxian & Lan Wangji Screentime: Main I don`t like the novel, but I like drama exactly because here I can see this dynamics. In the past life of Wei Wuxiang Lan Wangji was not strong enough to go against the whole world to protect his friend (well, in the novel they are lovers, but it kills the main idea of this dynamics by turning it into "I do it all just to get into your bed", which is meh), and his friend died. Suddenly, 16 years later, he gets a chance to choose once more: to be a part of society and watch once more his friend dying or to be with him against everyone this time. The moment he chooses to be with Wei Wuxian against the whole world I felt cathartic pleasure. The drama ends up on a little bit obscure but positive note.

Drama: Word of Honor / 山河令 Characters: Zhou Zishu & Wen Kexing Screentime: Main A former king's assassin who is at the brink of death and just wants to live the time left in silence and a birdy master of the most skillful criminals find each other, find out that they are brothers-in-teachings and decide to fight against the world together just to live in silence and enjoy each other's company. When one thinks it's his last second of life, the other comes to help him even if they both can't beat the greater number of enemies and will die for sure. Catharsis! The drama has a small extra ep where they are together and all right.

Drama: The Legends / 招摇 Characters: Li Chenlan & Lu Zhaoyao Screentime: Main Them, again! The first half of the drama they have enemies-to-lovers dynamics, but then, when they find out the truth about Zhao Yao's death and about feelings for each other, they turn into Bonny and Clyde and go annihilate the righteous guys who are in fact not-so-righteous. And it makes me feel cathartic, too. A very catharsis-causing dynamics, indeed! It's little obscure, but they will be fine at the end of the drama.

Drama: Dong Lan Xue / 东栏雪 Characters: Shen Yan & Chu Ningyuan Screentime: Main Two bad guys work together to get power in the palace. And get involved in romantic relationship during their power gaining. Nice story with an open ending.

Drama: Derailment /脱轨 Characters: Qi Lian & Jiang Xiaoyuan Screentime: Main It's a little story inside a big one about transmigrators that you can read in another of my posts. It lasts something like 1,5 eps of the drama but is a nice story itself. A lonely bellicose boy from a rich family runs away from home where no one cares for him and lives on the street. A lonely girl from an extremely poor family and being bullied by classmates tries to survive in this world. They meet each other and understand that it's easier to fight their fate together. Nice story, it's a pity that this one is too short and not a main plot of the drama.

The next post will be about Asian dramas and familial dynamics.

[minsarasarahair]

Wang Rensun and Ye Anshi. In TBOY, Wang Rensun known as Ye Dingzhi's good friend who betrayed him (Xiao Se used this story to mock Wuxin and they ended up beating each other lol) hence Ye Anshi/Wuxin developed hatred towards him growing up but Wuxin decided not to kill him because of Wangyou's guidance. He only ask him for help to perform a ritual. Wang Rensun was always seen drunk because of what happened with his friend. In DY, we get to see Wang Rensun became close with Ye Dingzhi's family after meeting him when he's looking for Wangyou. Let's wait and see if he really deserve to be hated in Dashing Youth.

finale of Dashing Youth

Spoilers and critical comments under the cut.

Ok, I'm so pissed at the ending. I hate hate hate that YDZ killed himself, and the stupid commentary about how he realized what he did after he saw YWJ and BLDJ and became himself again just made me angrier. I hate that they make suicide the answer to shame. Fucking live with it and work hard to make reparations. So many people wanted him to live, were willing to put themselves on the line for him. (I adored Ye Xiaofan pulling his sword in defense of YDZ, and the assassin realizing that most of them weren't trying to kill him.) He could lead his people back north, with his son and wife, and then work off his shame by helping people rebuild their lives. I get that he doesn't want to drag BLDJ down, but it's BLDJ's choice how he lives his life, and he's powerful enough to defy the emperor, like his shifu.

I knew it would be a tragedy, but I wanted it to be worthwhile. Like if he died from injuries he sustained defending his loved ones. It would still have BLDJ feeling guilty about his presence causing YDZ's death, but it wouldn't be because he killed himself in front of them. (*screaming* Why the hell would you do that to them????)

AND THEN!!!! And then YDZ asks BLDJ to take care of his son, and yet BLDJ abandons this 5 year old -- who has lost everyone he's ever known -- to someone else?????? WTF?????

ALSO, like, it's been YEARS - all the little kids are adults now. How did BLDJ not marry her in all this time??? I thought they were already married (during the time skip). It felt like tacking on a really awkward happy ending to a tragedy - I wouldn've much preferred that the two of them took Ye Anshi to meet BLDJ's family, which would be a thematic reflection of the comment he made about "returning home." And he could tell YAS about growing up with YDZ and tell him all about his father, and FULFILL HIS PROMISE to his best friend!!! It would respect the tragedy and still end up on a warm note.

(Yes ok I realize it's to set up BoY, but there are so many other ways to go about it other than BLDJ happily abandoning YAS so he can go get married. He's FIVE! YEARS! OLD!)

/rant

I just needed to get that out there so I could stop screaming at my computer screen.

[whydoyouaskmethis]

Regarding my old post here, so there was actually someone who said something to Ye Dingzhi before he offed himself?

Lone Sword is Luo Qingyang, so the woman who came with him was no one other than...

Yi Wenjun??

They were alone for some time. Wenjun indeed had the chance to whisper something to him.

But what if the truth was she just told him to stop all of his doing?

Ji Ruofeng here had a good point. In the end, Ye Dingzhi killed himself out of his own guilt, not because someone coerced him to do it.

What did you call me just now?
