actually genuinely curious about this because anecdotally I think I've seen a shift, maybe even in my own reading patterns
#only if i can see that it is updating frequently AND it's an author i like who doesn't have a lot of other wips that haven't updated#i fully understand authors being frustrated people don't read wips but i occasionally get update emails after like 2 years and bub.#i don't remember your fic. I'm probably not into that fandom right now. odds are good I'm only going to click the update to unsubscribe.#some of my very favorite fics are abandoned wips but i don't have the energy or resilience to add more unfinished stories to that list rn#unless I'm very confident they will be finished

Hate hate hate when I'm too stressed or upset to sleep and in desperation at the end of my mental faculties I google a solution to this problem and all the results are like "do something active, like go for a jog!" Like sorry I don't think most people reach the point of googling "how to go to sleep when you're too mad" at an acceptable hour for a nice jog. Don't tell me google doesn't know where I live, it's the middle of the night and there's not a streetlight in any direction for miles. Going to go out there trip on a gopher tunnel and die falling into a sinkhole.
Also the ai overview is spouting something incoherent that seems to be describing rage-induced narcolepsy which is kind of the opposite of what I am experiencing.

That was how people always talked about romantic, sexual love. As if that sort of love was necessarily better, greater, more, than friendship. As if being the greatest of friends was a step down.

And then you can't do anything about it because if you upset Luo Binghe you upset Shen Qingqiu, and if you upset Shen Qingqiu you upset the whole harem he doesn't know he has which includes several of the most powerful people in the world. Who all happen to hate Luo Binghe, but would grit their teeth anyway to make SQQ happy.
Luo Binghe is a weird possessive freak of a man who definitely tortured a lot of people and ruined the lives of many more people
Lucky for him his Shizun is into freaks who are named Luo Binghe and he's allowed to do whatever he wants because Mommy said so
Luo Binghe when stopped by anyone when he's on Cang Qiong both when pre-immortal alliance conference and post canon:

once again thinking about sqq unintenionally becoming a harem master in the eyes of can qiong and civilians.
it starts off with him saving one of binghe's future wives because ! she was one of the more interesting wives !! with powers that ariplane retconned in later chapters for no reason !!!!!!
"What a sweet girl," Shen Qingqiu murmurs as he opened the thank you package delivered to him because she wanted to thank the immortal master for saving her from a beast that in PIDW had traumatized her into becoming a recluse.
Shen Qingqiu hums as he touches the new hand-painted fan. Sweat begins beading on his neck at the murderous glare his white lotus Binghe was directing at the object in his hands.
This master is sorry, Binghe, but this fan is too precious to throw!
Shen Qingqiu clears his throat, "It would be good if she sends more gifts," to her future husband Binghe, of course.
That way, his sweet bun realizes that this was nothing more but a gift to her father-in-law. Aiya, why is the glare even worse?
a week later, sqq saves another wife by complete coincidence on a trip down to the village. she insists on joining him back to cang qiong and sqq gives in because of how persistent she was.
binghe breaks the plate of snacks he was holding when he bumps into them.
sqq: oh shit binghe's jealous. quick gotta send her his way and make them spend more time together
and then the lady just asks him about sqq and whether he's married single looking for someone.
and it keeps happening. sqq isn't sure either why he's meeting all these future wives. maybe the system wanted him to give his future approval? the system was being a bitch and seemed to enjoy his confusion over the way events had been continuously unfolding.
but then one of binghe's sly wives—a scammer who airplane contradictorily describes as pure-hearted at her core—comes up to him one day and tells him, "I have your baby."
And she shamelessly does it in front of the whole cang qiong delegation.
Shen Qingqiu doesn't know where or who the shrill keening sound was coming from.

“it sounds like you’re justifying their actions-“ i am. they’re a fictional character. i’m okay with anything they do all the time. hope this helps.
#where's that post that said a fictional war criminal was better than an annoying character#because the war crimes were fictional but the annoyance was real

before reading svsss: huh, it seems like people really don't care that much about the age gap/student-teacher aspect of the romance? on the "if you ship the wrong voltron guys kys" website? weird.
after reading svsss: ah,

Kinda fucked up when you watch something and you're like wow, this would have been really good if they had changed almost everything
#so very hard to keep my mouth shut and not yuck someone's yum in these cases#especially when people keep recommending it to me over and over#like yes i have actually heard of this it's being marketed everywhere right now. unfortunately i started it and it sucks and i hate it#but i appreciate you trying to tell me about something you thought id enjoy#but can't say that and I never know what to actually say

i mean the Lan clan did beat LWJ for getting drunk and later whipped him half to death for siding with the demonic cultivator. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did whip LWJ half to death.
Literally everyone, but especially WWX: the Lan Sect is so strict, no wonder LWJ is the way he is, he grew up surrounded by those rules...
Meanwhile, in the Lan Sect: *NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED until LWJ says so* *NO PETS ALLOWED except for LWJ's rabbit* *NO DEMONIC CULTIVATORS ALLOWED except for LWJ's husband*
Truly baby of the family priviledge
#i think the leniency post-timeskip is bc the beating half to death didn't work so they're scared to try anymore#they don't want to actually kill him or create a big public scandal by kicking him out and that's about the only options they haven't tried#so they just pretend they don't see it#that said they probably WOULD kill or kick him out if he wasn't so highly born. so he is protected by his birth status#but only to a certain extent and more in a general class way than because he's the baby of the family specifically#two sect leaders (eldest sons) in a row fucked off to seclusion and abandoned their duties which had to be against the rules and they didn't#get whipped for it

One of my favourite SVSSS moments was Shang Qinghua essentially thinking to himself "Luo Binghe needs advice from normal humans. Instead he has us. A bunch of weird demons and one weird human. You are going to get such shit advice son."
