Found a reference to Great Master Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky in Baldur's Gate 3

Honestly this sounds like something Shen Qingqiu wrote in a bestiary to piss of Airplane

It’s so funny trying to explain svsss to my friend who has never read a cultivation novel in their life. They’ll send me bingjiu art thinking that it’s bingqiu and I have to explain to them how even though they look fucking identical they are in fact different characters with an ENTIRELY different ship dynamic… Then I go into a lecture about curtesy names and Chinese honorifics.

It gets worse (correction: I get worse) when the art is tagged incorrectly. And I shit you not I have seen so many bingjiu fanart that was tagged as bingqiu. Even art of shen jiu x bingmei (and tbf I have NO idea how you would even tag that tbh), They’ll message me like “these are your guys, right? your blorbos??” and I have to break it to them that they got the spot the difference game wrong again… the odds were stacked against them…

Different fandoms really have different fanfiction environments, which I tend to forget until I'm writing for a different fandom to the last one.

Some fandoms are doing some very abstract AUs. Everyone is apparently playing with 10+ mods on the base game. Everyone is building their own personal canon out of the scrap pile of 5+ different continuities that all contradict each other wildly! Or at least everyone is very familiar with the usual fandom prompts, kinky or otherwise, and one shots that have no other plot or context. "In this coffee shop AU, the main character is also a lizard. I will not be taking questions," say the author's notes in some fandoms. Yeah. Okay. Sure.

And then you enter another fandom and immediately run into someone apparently deeply confused by the general concept of a what-if canon divergence AU. Yeah, some different choices were made in this AU? It's the point and plot of the story here, actually, as labelled. Are you lost?

With the bro !!!

i see maomao comes from the shen qingqiu school of “of course i think he’s beautiful, it’s just objective fact that he’s the most beautiful man in the world. this means nothing about me”

Thinking about it, I feel like fandom can handle romantic relationships that are very sweet and respectful and intimate and loving and devoted and heartwarming. And sometimes it can handle "romantic" relationships that are intense and obsessive and fucked-up and enthralled in a sort of "these people shouldn't inflict themselves on anyone else" way; the former tends to lean into a soft, psychologically healthy tenderness and the latter towards a harsh, distinctly unsentimental edge.

But quite a few of my favorite ships are, IMO, both of these at once. They're wildly sentimental and tender and sweet and devoted with each other and genuinely think the world of each other's merits and are so intensely mutually obsessed that it seems like the welfare, presence, or sometimes mere thought of their beloved utterly eclipses the opinions and existence of every other person alive. They adore each other to a degree that can be genuinely callous to others around them, they say and do fucked-up shit either for one another or out of their feelings for each other, but so tenderly that you're like "wait, did that just happen for real- !"

Anyway, this is very much how I feel about Kirk/Spock, especially in TOS. I've seen the occasional unsentimental fucked-up take on them, and I've seen lots about their relationship as a model of psychological wellness and healthy relationship goals, and I'm like... hmm, to me their dynamic is fucked-up and tenderly sentimental and endearing! It's a false dichotomy!

I mean, they seethe with jealousy at the slightest hint of not being the center of each other's lives. They run roughshod over Bones over and over, or just ignore his and everyone's presence (except each other's) on a regular basis in just about every episode, to the point that he frequently looks like he's longing for an escape route—or he actually has one and just nopes out while they're communing across the bridge or whatever the fuck. Their pining has a body count.

Spock torches his principles for Kirk on numerous occasions (e.g. urging Kirk to murder the Horta, wiping Rayna from his memory...), while Kirk is brutally cold and menacing to anyone who looks the wrong way at Spock. Spock responds to entirely valid ethical questions about jeopardizing hundreds of people's lives for a slim chance at saving Kirk with "I need not explain my rationale to you or any other member of this crew." When told in another incident that searching for Kirk with the detail he's ordered would take literal years, he replies, "Then the sooner you begin, the better." In yet another episode, Spock avoids eating or sleeping for two months in his focus on rescuing him. Meanwhile, in the same season, when Kirk thinks Miranda Jones isn't really putting maximum effort into saving Spock, he launches into this calculated but genuinely-felt screed:

What are you doing about it? … The other half [of Spock] is human. Far more human than you, apparently … If you don’t reach him soon, he’ll die. But that’s what you want, isn’t it? … You want him to die. What did you do to him on the bridge? Did you make him forget to put the visor over his eyes? … You know your rival, don’t you? You couldn’t keep him from making a mind-link with Kollos, something you couldn’t do yourself! With my words, I’ll make you hear such ugliness as Spock saw when he looked at Kollos with his naked eyes! The ugliness is within you! … Spock saw Kollos, and for that he must die … The smell of hatred, the stench of jealousy permeates you. Why don’t you strangle him while he lies there?

Miranda quite understandably says, "You're insane."

Very very famously, there's an entire episode that involves various people telling Kirk he can't immolate his career/life for Spock and him going "watch me." A season before, he throws every procedure and regulation in the book at Starfleet to delay departure long enough to save Spock's landing party when the stakes are swaths of people dying from the plague while the cure is on the Enterprise. In S3, Spock all but tells Starfleet to go fuck themselves when they command him not to rescue Kirk and he promptly defies orders and starts nerve-pinching everyone in his path.

This isn't even exhaustive, lol. They're just like that all the time.

Liu Qingge:*feels the shifting spiritual energies of his students sneaking up on him*

Liu Qingge: Hey!

*most of the students flee, one particularly bold one steps into view though*

Liu Qingge: Kssst! *he pulls out a spray bottle*

*the last student scurries off*

SQQ (who came over for tea): ...Shidi has such an interesting relationship with his disciples.

what if your doppelganger loved being you more than you ever loved being yourself. they're better at being you and everyone loves them and it feels almost selfish to want your life back. i want clone horror but the horror is that the thing trying to replace you is also the person you always wanted to be.

Bingqiu beach holiday - my poll winner~ Somebody get that man a sunscreen already. I hope you like my first full-render fanart! I am very self-conscious about leaving my holy paper texture behind, all my strokes feel super bare and visible...planning to post the speedpaint to my instagram (where at the moment im not really active.)

[dumbfucksystem]

god sometimes I just look at Shen Yuan and Binghe and it's just like. it really is no fucking wonder those two are the joint demon lord and prince concubine of communication issues. one of them is Abandonment Issues Georg who can only build relationships through seventeen layers of meta-level planning and intentional manipulation (alongside his trusty overpowered weapon Borderline Personality Disorder Sword) and the other is a fuckass irony-poisoned pretentious millennial with debilitating comphet and a god in his head that will kill him instantly if he explains 50% of his reasoning for anything ever.
