Since not everyone can be Luo Binghe (the meme, the legend)...

please vote for Hua Cheng in @the-ghost-bracket! (we got him a lot closer but he's still losing by ~2%)

EDIT: our beloved ghost king has managed to claw out a victory, but you could still follow @the-ghost-bracket so he'd have easier time in future rounds! Plus, another two polls that might be of interest to you: Hua Cheng in competition for the title of best leader (currently losing to president Barbie (--;;) ) Luo Binghe in Hybrid Battle finale (!!!)

Having so many thoughts and feelings on my second Scum Villain read-through omg

Like, it’s so much clearer this time around that acting clingy/weepy when talking to Shen Qingqiu but fully mature and strong (even to the point of intimidation and/or general bitchiness) isn’t only a Binghe thing; Qing Jing disciples are just like that. Ning Yingying and Ming Fan absolutely demolishing the Little Palace Mistress in Hua Yue City only to end up sandwiching their shizun in a sobbing hug as soon as they recognize him is the same type of behavior.

SQQ raised his disciples to be capable and principled (Ming Fan quotes him as teaching that a slight should be repaid twofold, which echoes SY’s reason for liking Bing-ge’s character in PIDW— that he repaid every good and bad deed without fail), but he also unconsciously taught them that it’s safe (and often rewarding!) to be vulnerable and affection-seeking with him in specific.

Obviously Binghe is more intense/volatile in his behavior than the others due to The Trauma™️, but he is very much cut from the same cloth as the rest. This is all just what happens when you let a head-pat-addicted twenty-something book nerd be Peak Lord ^-^

ANDDD you can kiss robots and should do so frequently btw

here are my rwrb/guts opinions that nobody asked for but i’m giving anyway:

- “all american bitch” is so alex claremont-diaz it’s crazy. “i got class and integrity. just like the goddamn kennedy, i swear” “i know my place, and this is it” “i don't get angry when I'm pissed. i'm the eternal optimist. i scream inside to deal with it.”

- same with “bad idea right?” like, it’s just him coded

- lacy is henry about alex before the red room. he worships him so much but he thinks alex doesn’t like him and henry knows he can never have him. “i see you everywhere. the sweetest torcher one could bear” “smart, sexy lacy i’m losing it lately” “lacy, oh lacy, i just loathe you lately, and i despise my jealous eyes and how hard they fell for you” LIKE COME ON

- “ballad of a homeschool girl” gives me ‘henry feeling separated from the rest of society because of who he is’ vibes. “the party’s done and i’m no fun, i know, i know.”

- “making the bed” is actually just henry when he leaves alex at the lake house “push away all the people who know me the best, but it’s me who’s been making the bed.”

- “get him back” is one of the most alex songs in the world. i don’t rlly think an explanation is needed for that. like, just the name alone SCREAMS alex. “do i love him, do i hate him? i guess it’s up and down” “i want sweet revenge and i want him again.” ALSO THIS LINE, “ he said he’s six-foot-two and i’m, like, ‘dude nice try’” LIKE COME ONNNN

- “love is embarrassing” is henry when he sees alex dancing with and kissing the girls at the new year’s party. “i told my friends you were the one after i’d known you like a month. and then you kiss some girl from high school” “you found a new version of me, and i damn near started world war III. jesus, what was i even doing.” everything about this song is henry actually.

if you read all of that you’re a real one thank you.

Honestly people who performatively hate on and refuse to engage with scum villain while enjoying other danmei and mxtx works are so wild to me like sorry you’re missing out on the objectively funniest work of the three it’s a nonstop comedy fest (except for all the tragedy).

‘It’s problematic’ my brother in Christ can you find a single BL property in any industry that isn’t problematic? I’ll wait.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

I died but I came back exactly the same. You though, I came back and you were wrong. Did the fact of my dying really damage you that much? Was bringing me back worth what it cost you? Would it have been better to just leave me?
