#BRAND NEW BOYS

[smackthedevilwrites]

So, this is what I've been doing instead of writing J2 fics. It was time to move on and create my own special boys.

The story is very UK centric but then I'm UK centric, so it felt nice to be back home!

It's available on Kindle Unlimited and to buy here-

England, 1984, a tough year for millions as unemployment reaches record highs but then, Alexander De Luca doesn’t have to worry about any of that, the only real problems the son of an Italian ice cream van man and former English debutante are ones regarding his empty heart and how he is going to distance himself from all of the money he’ll one day inherit. When the idea of becoming a tutor of A-level English strikes him, Alexander takes on his first student, a bright, academically rebellious and very gorgeous almost eighteen-year-old from another world. At just twenty-three, Alexander is ready to put his heart on the line. For Jamie Lewis, growing up with a bigoted father, he sees his tutor as his only act of teenage rebellion and finds himself swept away by the charming, heart-warmingly foolish, Alexander and endlessly open heart.

mmmmmm read a disciple shen yuan/shizun luo binghe fanfic about two days ago where the first chapter was the Immortal Conference arc, and SQQ was the one who had to be pushed into the abyss (he was still the villain) except Luo Binghe was refusing and was like, lowkey losing his mind about SQQ being so close to the edge. SQQ ended up having to be the one to fall in himself because of the system's punishment system. The rest of the fic is leading up to that moment. But like, MMM i've been obsessively thinking about that first chapter for DAYS ever since.

now i've been in svsss for a grand total of *checks watch* a week. but god obsessed with that. I want to write/read a fic where disciple SQQ goes a little nuts down there. Like keep all of the things that make SQQ, SQQ, but just. Throw in a little bit more trauma in there. A little bit of a mental break. Let him go a little nuts as a treat. Just a tad unhinged. I wanna see him go, just a little, "god fuck it, i've tried so hard to change this shitty story's outcome and it feels like everything i've done has been for nothing. I'm going to die in this world no matter what I do, I've been doomed from the start, so might as well die the way I want to." and he just, breaks a little! Under all the stress.

He still retains the traits that makes shen yuan, shen yuan, like his overwhelming kindness. But he's just! yk. A little less patient. Paranoid. Jumpy. Colder. A little more aloof and closed off. A little more Shen Jiu. He's no asshole child abuser, but he was a Number One Hater in his past life and he's leaning into that old habit a little more now.

(On a totally coincidental not-at-all related note, there's not enough SJ-and-SY-are-the-same-people fics out there that i've found. This is totally unrelated...)

The Endless Abyss turns the mind into an over-sharpened blade, and SQQ is both fascinated and perhaps a little excited to explore a place that doesn't have a lot of info on it in the mortal realm, but still terrified out of his mind. And he's no Luo Binghe, he doesn't have the sheer brute strength and power to just bulldoze his way through, so he has to be a lot more sneaky and cunning if he wants to survive.

The fic itself role-swapped LBH and SQQ so that SQQ was the half-demon (which lowkey fucks) and LBH the human, but I'm equally-if-not-more obsessed with the idea that LBH remains the half-heavenly demon and SQQ the human. If only because I keep thinking about SQQ befriending some demons (particularly and specifically a group of succubi) and they grow very attached to this Human Cultivator so through magic plot stuff they create some kind of seal/illusion/talisman that makes SQQ appear as a demon because a human cultivator in the endless abyss may as well be the equivalent of putting a giant neon target on your back.

And iirc Shen Jiu was taught demonic cultivation by that one guy(?? i've only been here a week so im not caught up in ALL of the lore yet) so that could totally happen here.

(On the other end of the realms, poor Shizun Luo Binghe is just. losing his fucking mind over losing his most precious and beloved disciple. About .5 seconds from burning down the peaks himself. somebody sedate him.)

The Endless Abyss sucks and SQQ is having a really terrible time and can feel himself going lowkey mad, but also holy shit look at all this WORLD-BUILDING. look at all this flora and fauna, and oh if he had the equipment for it he'd be writing all of this down. ALL OF IT. He was kinda-sorta-already planning on never leaving the Abyss as some sort of fucked up self-exile and self-preservation thing, but now he might? actually just?? never leave if he can help it, like he lowkey likes it down here.

anyways the next time anyone ever sees SQQ again he's got hair so long its almost touching the ground and he's either in rags and half-feral or he's been completely dolled up by his adoptive succubi sisters and still about three seconds from biting anyone who tries to touch him. (he's also lowkey trying to book it back down to the abyss even if he has desperately missed all of his friends and shizun)

Crystal can’t mirror travel and they’re back in London so there needs to be a scene in season 2 where they have to drive somewhere and Edwin is on the verge of killing her just so they can stop suffering the circle of hell that is the M25

no post ideas ykw i had to do 😭😭

[edwinisms]

i get such a sense of primal envy when looking at edwin’s clothes up close because god you can just tell his coat is real wool and made to last and not cheap flimsy mass produced garbage and auggagghhhh that was just STANDARD in his time. by no means am i saying i was #borninthewronggeneration because i like having vaccines and household appliances but. man. to have a personally-tailored coat like that that’d last for years and years……. and fabrics of fine thread-dense quality………. if only

All y’all that don’t listen to rap and wanna jump in on the drake/Kendrick situation… think for like two seconds, obviously rap has a misogyny problem but when you know nothing about the scene it’s not a great look to be frothing at the mouth to tear down a black man when you’ve admitted to not giving a shit about him and his whole genre

Talk on shit you know, talk about the Pete wentz allegations and sexism in fall out boy’s lyrics or something, talk about brand new’s statutory allegations, mac demarco, every single member of the orwells has allegations, Crystal castles, the front bottoms, look inward before you act like rap is some monolith of disrespect and violence when there’s problems in genres YOU listen to thank you

To be perfectly clear I’m defending NO ONE in this post so dont even start

[spacedace]

Since I have the first three chapters of the next installment of the House of Elle series more or less finished and I'm going to start posting stuff soon(ish), here be a few out memes for things going on in this one 😄

(The corrupted text on the second to last one is intentionally unreadable, it just says "Eldritch Text Because Spoilers" because, you know, spoilers haha)
