#Sy is the specialest boy

[maypersonne]

I think that Shen Yuan should looks painfully average like some guy in your class that you couldn't recognize out of it cause he's so nothing but Binghe is crazy head over heels about him and the thing wrong with him (everything) makes him genuinely believe that sy is the most beautiful man alive

I hope you don't mind me adding, but this kind of put me in the mind that Bingmei would somehow be more interesting looking than Bingge by virtue of Shen Yuan's influence. So when he shows up, it would be hilarious if Shen Yuan spotted the difference like "wait why do you look like handsome stock character #9?"

being about unhinged headcannons is kinda my entire thing so with that this in mind i am about to say something truly terrible. Given PIDW in universe was generic stallion novel with given it's popularity and the nature of light novels/web novels in general is it safe to assume to Shen Yuan's exposure to Binghe through official art had the man drawn with (and do forgive me for saying this) the same energy and vibes as the tall mature kirito protagonist variant. And here's the thing I KNOW that is fundamentally not our boy as any of our art portrays him. But consider that art style for male characters varies between work genres. So it is completely possible for Luo Binghe to be handsome but bland in the way only this specific archetype can be in all of the official art work. Because the emphasis is on them TIDDIES. So I think PIDW would probably have the most boring book covers. The ones where there's like one of the harem girls on the front in a cute pose and then our boy's just holding his sword looking cool or he's got one in his arms mid catch. You have seen this novel cover in stores and it never makes you wanna actually pick up the book.

Baby Luo Binghe straight up has just generic anime guy art. He's bland wonderbread character design until the abyss and then he becomes long wonderbread with eyeliner and blood. What this would mean is fanart never features him obvious but also it becomes a whole debate about what does Luo Binghe look like in fanart and the inevitable market of nsfw works. It becomes a whole thing of telling artists apart by how they draw him and arguments about what is the CORRECT BINGGE!!

And you bet your ass Shen Yuan has opinions on that shit. Man absolutely has a headcannon for Luo Binghe. Absolutely has his own designs and ideas which is why i think the juxtaposition of seeing him post transmigration is so funny. Like imagine seeing this guy after reading the novel and be like 'that's just an incredibly cute fluffy child!'. Huh, real human features i hadn't considered. Like he sees the protagonist get a pimple because like it's puberty. Everyone gets pimples and is floored. He's in awe that it's even possible. He's completely shook by the fact that Luo Binghe is actually handsome after years of having a specific imagine in mind that does not promote that.

What do you think the Bingqiu fursonas are?

bingge is a black wolf with red accents + potentially horns who takes thirstrap pictures wearing his indoor paws, and binghe would be a black-and-white dog with one flopped ear. curly tail mandatory.

sqq (cum)'s fursona is obviously a hand-me-down suit from sj from when he left the fandom. sy's fursona before getting sj's suit (which he thought was stunning btw) was probably a scaley because he's the specialest little boy in the whole world and the angriest most opinionated motherfuckers you've ever met have dragon fursonas.

seriously why are we doing this arc and not sy having a conversation with jamie 2 again. i can see now how it could have gone. they could've talked he could've had interesting character development. they could've kept going on the lam and gotten embroiled in anotner plot significantly more sensible than the lord infante randomly deciding that sy is the specialest boy alive
