For @fytheuntamed​‘s Untamed Fall Fest. Day 15: Golden

I didn’t remember JC seeing WZL remove his core in the flashback scene. o.O the way lotus pier is on fire and JC’s horror and the glow of the core. it hurts!

But then we get the pretty purple glow of his... er... wwx’s golden core. NOT what i expected but this is the only visualization we have of a golden core and it’s so yunmeng jiang it hurts. Probably one of the reasons he DOESN’T realize it’s not his own but WWX’s is because they practiced the same style. Even had wwx practiced due to his parents’ teaching, his dad was from the Jiang sect so likely taught him to cultivate along those paths. Their cores probably feel the same and have the same architecture -- if core architecture is a thing. I image it ebbing and flowing like the waters of Yunmeng lakes.  

I also love JC’s smile and happy faces in the last two gifs. the last three gifs are from the same shot but I cut  them up with some overlapping frames because i love how he looks in this and want to focus on each expression. just the way he sighs with so much of him and that relaxing. 

HEY IF YOU’RE READING THIS TAKE A BREATH LIKE JC IN THE LAST THREE GIFS! RELEASE YOUR SHOULDERS AND CHANNEL THAT JC SMILE!!
