Just finished Devil Venerable Also Wants To Know
It's about
A sullen and loyal (to one (1) person) horror movie boss (he's not actually in one. But he sure brings the psychotic mass-murderer vibes)
And a righteous AND imorral vanquisher of armies who lives for fighting. He likes saving people, and enabling awful people. It's a weird mix that somehow works. (His line between what's okay and what isn't makes sense, and he's clear about it.)
The main plot is trying to make a girl stop being brainwashed by love for the biggest scum of all boyfriends.
It's... It's kinda funny really, because the main pair are... not good people xD but they Are good lovers. Eventually.
While the bitchass boy the girl is in love with, is kinda other than being a piece of shit, actually a good person. Ish.
There is like. Two people in this who are genuinely someone I would give a good person card. And one of them is presumably going to eventually go back to causing giant natural disasters. While the other teaches a bunch of villains how to villain better. so its. It's a very fun book!
(i mean none of the villain MCs are bad enough to stop rooting for them. The comedy vibes also helps. And once the reasons come out... Well personally it doesn't exuse the... Blatant day to day villainy xD But they Are very likable. So)
Recommended for sure if you like svsss. If you're fine with that then nothing here should be unreadable. It's also similar in theme? I might make a separate post with more spoilers about the similarities between PIDW and... Well. You'll see.
Oh, it also has much higher screen-time for female characters, and they are awesome and well-rounded. (although, named bacround characters are usually men. Still, overall this aspect is better than most novels I've read)
Read it if you haven't!

patient confidentiality (ao3) svsss, mushang | T | 2.5k, pre-canon, hurt & comfort, wound treatment, shang qinghua's brand of rambling and humor, feelings realisation (more on ao3)
“Shang-shixiong.” Mu Qingfang’s hand on his shoulder kept him from getting up. When the frantic words finally stopped, he asked, “What happened?” What exactly was he supposed to say? (After an unexpectedly long and painful reporting session in the demon realm, bruised and exhausted, Shang Qinghua returns to the sect and passes out on one of Qian Cao's patient beds. Mu Qingfang treats his wounds and encourages him to confide in him. If only he could…)
written for @ficwip's all-ships ship week event, for day 2's prompt of "Who did this to you?". check the event out and join us in celebrating your ship 💕
Full fic on ao3 & under the cut
Tumblr media
Shang Qinghua had no idea how he found himself in this position.
Normally, whenever he came back from the northern part of the demon realm, reporting to Mobei-jun, he returned in the middle of the night, out of a portal in his personal office, and dropped on his bed like a sack of potatoes after a long and tight travel to the morning farmer’s market — dirty, exhausted, and covered in bruises. Bath could wait till morning—or whenever he had to wake up.
Rarely did the reports last straight through the night. This time, they did.
Shang Qinghua was dead on his feet as he stumbled out of the portal into his—
Well.
Those were not his quarters.
A cursory look around showed him a row of simple beds with neatly prepared bedding and pillows. Next to each bed was a small stool perfect for temporarily storing one’s belongings.
The calming scent of herbs hung in the air. His heart didn’t even attempt to beat faster at such an unexpected change in scenery.
Nobody was around to have noticed his unexpected arrival—through a demonic portal, no less—so everything was totally fine. And if he stumbled towards one of the beds and sat on its edge—and leaned to the side and dropped onto the bedding and rubbed his cheek against the pillow—really, nobody needed to know. It had to be ungodly early still… he could maybe… close his eyes… just for a… a moment…
“Shang-shixiong?”
—or not!
He jerked awake and sat up on the bed ramrod straight. In his hurry, he almost headbutted Mu Qingfang.
The room was definitely brighter now and his body wasn’t dead-heavy, even if he still ached all over.
Mu Qingfang was frowning at him in displeasure.
And for a good reason… Shang Qinghua only now realised just how dirty he was, covered in sweat, dirt, and blood that had long stopped oozing from his cuts. And all that grime—he rubbed off—on the sheets—
“Ah, Mu-shidi, I’m really sor—”
“Who did this to you?”
His mouth snapped shut and he nearly broke his neck with how fast he turned to stare at Mu Qingfang.
Who was… Not glaring at him, but… Looking, with a frown?
…angry frown? Frustrated frown? A now I’ll need to have these sheets washed frown or I’ve only just woken up, it’s too early for this frown or Why didn’t you call ahead? frown?
Which one was it?
Wait. He’d asked a question, hadn’t he? Fuck, and he was still talking.
Focus, Qinghua! Time to de-escalate the conflict, soothe the ruffled feathers, and get the hell out of there.
“This one really is sorry—I’ll put away some funds immediately for a new bedding,” he blabbered. “Did Mu-shidi need to restock his herbs? I’ll have disciples sent to pick up some—”
“Shang-shixiong.” Mu Qingfang’s hand on his shoulder kept him from getting up. When the frantic words finally stopped, he asked, “What happened?”
What exactly was he supposed to say?
Oh, he’s been tossed a bit by a demon lord of the ice region of the demon realm, he has a bit of a temper and treats violence as a language Shang Qinghua should be fluent in. He’s not very happy that Shang Qinghua’s recent reports have been lackluster because nothing much is happening in the sect! Oh, right—also, he’s a spy! He’s spying on the sect matters and reports directly to Mobei-jun, his king, a demon whom he saved years ago and who could very well crush him like a bug under his boot! Shang Qinghua’s measly cultivation level has nothing on his king, after all! But don’t worry, Mu-shidi, this Shang Qinghua has already gotten used to the beatings, they only bother him most of the time and not every time, his core helps him heal the worst of the damage in quite a short time!
…yeah, right, forget about it! Shang Qinghua was a master of weaving lies into his stories.
“I—I tripped.”
…he was a master of weaving lies into his stories when he had enough time to think them through!
Don’t judge.
Mu Qingfang blinked and looked him over again—to be fair, Shang Qinghua did feel battered enough to have indeed fallen to the ground, and been run over by a carriage or two—then made a small noise and took Shang Qinghua’s face into his hands.
And leaned in.
Shang Qinghua froze.
Mu Qingfang looked closely into his eyes—first into his right one, then the left one—then frowned and touched the pads of his index and middle fingers to Shang Qinghua‘s temple and just. Kept watching him.
And Shang Qinghua had only now realised how sensitive one's temples were.
A cool, soothing stream of qi flowed in through his skin into his veins and soon his whole being seemed to be overflowing with it.
He'd never written a qi examination through this channel. Now, he almost… almost regretted it… his readers would have gone wild for how intimate it was…
“Shixiong,” Mu Qingfang repeated. Shang Qinghua's mind centered on him in an instant. “Who did this to you? Simply tripping would not give you such bruises.”
Shang Qinghua winced. What could he say, Mu-shidi? It was much too complicated to explain, and would have him tried for treason and ejected from the sect in the best case scenario and sentenced to torture and death in the worst. Shen Qingqiu would probably enjoy banding with his other martial siblings for the first time ever, just to watch him squirm!
Mu Qingfang hummed in realisation.
…what? What did you figure out??
…He was still touching his temple. Shit! Was reading thoughts possible like that?
“Shixiong should know that whatever he says will remain in confidence—”
Shixiong dares to doubt it!
“—Even if he were to report on one of his fellow peak lord’s mistreatment.”
Fellow—?
Shang Qinghua blanched, not because Mu Qingfang was very off-track (thankfully so!) but because the answer he was looking for wasn't even as narrowing as he expected! It was a very good out, however, so instead of lying his way out of this situation, Shang Qinghua leaned into the borrowed truth of it.
He snorted and said, “Which one?”
And based on the very interesting look on Mu Qingfang’s face, it was the correct thing to do.
“This one was willing to bet on Liu-shixiong.”
Huh. Well, that made sense. Liu Qingge did make it a habit to challenge to a fight anybody who crossed his path. You couldn't get him to sign any documents without having to cross swords with him first! Shang Qinghua routinely gained bruises and cuts out of these encounters.
Let nobody say that administrative work wasn't full of hazards! Even an office job was lethal with Liu Qingge somewhere in the equation.
The healing qi trickled again through the delicate veins of his head, then withdrew. When Mu Qingfang procured a wet cloth and—gently—pressed it to the place under his nose, Shang Qinghua saw that it did not come back bloody but rather held the dried flakes of leftover blood.
Mu Qingfang really was a good healer!
“Is Shixiong met with mistreatment from anybody else?” Mu Qingfang asked as he pulled out some ointment from one of his sleeves and started gently brushing it over Shang Qinghua’s cheekbone. It almost sounded like small talk at a hair salon.
Shang Qinghua debated with himself for just a couple of seconds until he decided that, no, actually, he deserved to let out some steam!
So he ranted. About Liu Qingge making his work so much harder by challenging him into spars and not taking a no for an answer. Sometimes outright ambushing him whenever he visited his peak—and sometimes even involving his disciples in it, too!
About Shen Qingqiu and his constant vigilant stare and cutting questions and sending him on goose chase after the data he needed, and demanding books and instruments and supplies he had to know were impossible or extremely difficult to obtain. And whenever he did not deliver, Shen Qingqiu made it all about how inefficient An Ding was. ‘Could Shang Qinghua even be called a peak lord? Maybe somebody else should take over the cushion-seated administrative duties, hmm, Shang-shidi?’.
About the weapons peak supplying Liu Qingge with more ammo to bother Shang Qinghua with and finding joy in hearing how much damage they've caused. ‘It's just for testing purposes’ and ’who better to test it than Liu-shidi?’.
Yeah, right. You meant to say, ‘who better to test it on than Shang Qinghua?’.
And as much as he liked Yue Qingyuan, the man had a one-track mind. If he were to scold literally anybody for treating Shang Qinghua like their personal lab rat, he would have to keep Shen Qingqiu accountable, too. Airplane knew his characters too well to hope Yue Qingyuan would ever do that. There was too much guilt and trauma there. In a way, it was his own fault and he was reaping the fruits of his own crimes.
Karma truly is a fickle mistress, ah.
Anyway, this didn't even count Qi Qingqi’s distaste of him made obvious every time he bothered her at her peak to get her reports. She tended to be good at keeping up with her paperwork, but somehow always forgot it on her desk. For weeks at a time. Truly, she was one of the only women he’d written with an actual backstory in mind and that was how she treated him?
Qi-shimei, you were one sentence away from falling for Bingge’s charms and becoming the proverbial older woman! It wasn't as if some readers didn't ask for it!
When he came out of his rant, he was sat on the top of Mu Qingfang's desk, void of all the upper layers of his clothing. On the desk next to him were prepared some clean cloths, a small plate with a herb mixture, a bowl of fresh water, and a jar of more ointment.
Mu Qingfang was washing his chest. Which was bare and bruised and inexplicably also covered in grime. Which was probably why he was washing it in the first place. He looked up when he noticed the silence.
“Anything else Shixiong wishes to get off his chest while we get him patched up?”
Normally, Shang Qinghua would very much take him up on his offer. Words and talking were something he was good at; he could talk an ear off a petitioner or a self-proclaimed demonic advisor and have them back off without even implying that he was a threat capable of destroying their lives. Hell, he talked his own ear off sometimes, mostly because it made thinking and memorising things easier. Sometimes, for things to sound logical, they needed to sound in the first place.
Say what you want about the administrative peak, but the responsibilities far outweighed the rewards. Original Shang Qinghua stuck around for spying purposes—and also maybe because he had nowhere else to go. Having his own quarters, a stable job and access to funds and a small community of people who respected what you had to say, on top of the protection of a demonic lord—it only made sense to stay on An Ding no matter what, as long as the circumstances allowed for it.
Until the original goods had made his betrayal known, Cang Qiong really had been ready to back him up when faced with outsider disputes. Only a fool would have left prematurely.
The current Shang Qinghua was not a fool, either.
And he never did anything prematurely. Wink. Nudge. Haha.
So maybe he had some things in common with the original flavour. What about it? The only real difference was that he knew what was coming for the sect and he could do nothing to avoid it, no matter how much he wanted to. His System had long learned to distinguish just by the tone of his voice when he was going to vent about this particular hurdle and refused to even show up and pretend to listen. He only ranted about it when he felt the boulder-like weight of his purpose in this world grow too heavy and too unfair—so what if it was frequent?. It was too cruel to throw him into the world of his own creation and not allow him to change a thing or two!
This… all of this wasn’t what he’d originally planned. If only the System had implemented him into the Proud Immortal Demon Way the way it had been written in his very first outline, everything would have been different. The plot would have already happened and ended!
At least, by now, he’d stopped mentally face-palming every time he encountered something incredibly embarrassing.
Mu-shidi asking him if he wanted to vent was hilarious. He'd make a good therapist!
…Who took the role of a therapist in this world, thinking about it? It had to be the healers, right? Mu Qingfang specialised mostly in herbs and spiritual healing, but Airplane had written him to be inquisitive, after all.
Anyway. Yes, he had things he'd like to let out, thank you very much! But with Mu Qingfang washing his chest, then patting it dry and rubbing herbal ointment into his skin, remembering that he had a tongue was quite… difficult.
And what was worse, Mu Qingfang had noticed! He frowned, dried his hands, and took Shang Qinghua’s wrist, then pressed two fingers on the inside of it. He felt the qi immediately.
Ha.
Haha.
The skin there was very sensitive, too.
No wonder it was one of the erogenous zones.
“Everything seems to be alright,” Mu Qingfang muttered to himself, then leaned in and looked into his eyes again. “Shang-shixiong, is anything bothering you right now?*
Yes! His heart is picking up at how close you are, Shidi!
Outwardly, he shook his head. “This one is simply surprised.”
“Surprised?”
He laughed awkwardly. “I'm not used to…”
To being taken care of.
As soon as the thought appeared, he shut his mouth and his body involuntarily tensed.
Being cared for wasn't one of the objectives in his transmigration.
And with everything that was going to happen in the future—Luo Bing-ge coming to the sect, being pushed into the Abyss, then returning to level the mountain with the ground and murder everybody in his wake—did he even deserve…? Was it even allowed for him to want…?
“Ah. This shidi understands.” Mu Qingfang patted his wrist and removed his hand. Soon, any touch disappeared. “Shixiong needs to only bear with him dressing up the injuries and he can cover himself up again.”
True to his words, Mu Qingfang wrapped the fresh cloths around his midsection with quick precision, and soon held out Shang Qinghua’s thin under-tunic. When he reached for it, Mu Qingfang simply helped him put it on and fastened the laces.
“If Shixiong ever needs help with anything, be it health or company,” he said and gave him a small, secretive smile, “or somebody to report certain unruly sect siblings to Zhangmen-shixiong—all he needs to do is ask. Shidi will answer.”
Shang Qinghua left the peak with a clenched throat and burning eyes.
And if he ever took Mu Qingfang up for his offer—well. Nobody needed to know.

Reading SVSSS: BONUS- Chapter 22
Tumblr media
For those who don't know, I am reading SVSSS for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag bloopitynoot reads SVSSS. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read.
Tumblr media
Yall I am sick as heck. I tested for the plague and it does not seem to be that, but I defo have a head cold/sinus thing going on.
I did something wild and a little unhinged and made my matcha latte with a protein shake like i'm some sort of athlete instead of a feeble old man. I also have enough vitamins running through me courtesy of ener-c to fuel a football team.
Still feel like ass, but this chapter was a solid up to my day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before we even get into it, based on the title of this chapter I can already tell I am not ready. The fact that there are TWO Binghe's is already telling me there is a metric shit-ton of threesome PWP on Ao3
Oh! okay! It's like an immediate continuation of the story. I totally thought we would be skipping a bunch of time or something, yay! this is a good surprise. p11
I forgot about the bamboo house replica LBH made for SQQ. It is so cute that he got the bamboo to actually grow in this realm. p11
LOL ofc LBH is sulking because SQQ will not sleep in the same bed as him. p12
I feel like based on the chapter title and the behaviour of the Binghe we have here that this is not the sweet Binghe we know and love. p15
How has LBH constantly pulling AWAY from SQQ not triggered some red flags for this man. Normally LBH makes every excuse to attach himself to SQQ. p16
okay LOL now SQQ finally questions it p18
Ming Fan you fucking narc! No one asked you to go get the other peaks involved. so rude! p19
Dang. Liu Qingge really is all or nothing. He is truly doing the lords work trying to constantly save SQQ from himself. The fact that he keeps picking up his literal shit every time this guy gets himself into A Situation is telling. Not enough respect for this guy, truly. p21
Oh god, well. RIP SQQ because this LBH is most definitely an imposter! p23
(I literally cannot read what I wrote for this note/I think my hand was working slower than my brain and many words are missing in the sentence. I think I was TRYING TO SAY): This Binghe is evil as shit and SQQ still has not confirmed. I am a little bit worried if this Binghe is here- where is the other one????? Is he okay??? p26
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah! You correct that asshole Ying Ningning. (If you can't tell this character really grew on me- she had the glow up for sure for sure). p27
I do love that this evil Binghe get's to have some internal dialogue that we read, "Like fuck you do!" p28
OMG. This evil Binghe totally did read the BingQiu porn and is taking his "shizun" for a test run. Oh no! Does good Binghe stop this??? p31
Thank fuck SQQ finds out who this Binghe is (though he sort of was not complaining about the man handling at all). Bless for good Binghe for showing up too! pp32-33
Bless his heart, "In the end, he and Luo Binghe were too unfamiliar with each other's bodies. That was why it had taken him so long to figure out what was wrong here" P35 Okay but I do love that his response to all of this is definitely- "me and Binghe need to be more intimate in case this situation happens again. I will definitely fix this for the future".
The way SQQ is just clutching his pearls this chapter is killing me LOL the romance novel energy is too much. "Shen Qingqiu was stunned silent. Playing around with who? Playing around with me? Bing-ge you...you'd accept all corners?! Welcoming both men and women! Is this something like 'both meat and fish are fine- I'm not picky, I'll eat whatever I'm given'?" P37
SQQ: "What the fuck am I supposed to tell anyone..." Also SQQ: p39
Oh no! Bing-ge is getting into Bing-mei's head. Leave the poor boy alone, he is very sensitive. All the while SQQ is trying to get the little guy to just focus on dealing with Bing-ge. p41
Since this is a different Binghe, I have decided to add another dime to the demon blood mite bank. I believe we are at $0.60 which is TOO damn much. p44
Tumblr media
It is highly effective! p46
Oh no. Now Bing-ge is having feelings. Understandable though- he really did get the shit story where in everything is terrible and he has no real support. Bro just wanted some softness. p47
Oop. Well. I guess Bing-mei is going to attempt to level up some skills today. p49
Luo Binghe and his Dick Weapon (TM). p52
Blessed be, we have some sort of lube. I am literally so glad for this. The way my body viscerally reacted to their last scene- this is not much of an improvement, but they are getting there. p55
Oh no, and they're both crying now. p57
Thank fuck his disciples did NOT decide to fix the roof. p60 that would have been one heck of a surprise.
Okay, but this is so tender. Look at them both growing and learning. p61
LOL LBH is DETERMINED to learn. "Shen Qingqiu knew what he wanted to ask and mercilessly spoke first, "awful." However this time, even after receiving criticism, Luo Binghe wasn't depressed. Rather, he exuberantly declared, "Yes, it was awful. Unacceptably awful." "what are you saying...?" "Because it was simply awful, this disciple requests that his Shizun assist him with further exploration." Well." p62
It could have been worse!
These two are so damn weird. Good for them, but also, it's too much LOL. One is self sacrificing, the other is needy as HELL. It must have been so weird for BIng-ge to witness; drastically different version of himself!

Live action svsss? Lmao
Oh, that is genuinely funny to me as an idea. Full-on blue-screened me for a second.
See, I'm not AGAINST the concept of live-action feature film adaptations or live-action television adaptations of other forms of media, especially not books. I personally adore the translation work and studying the translation work involved when transforming a story from one medium to another. Basically as soon as we had film, people started filming plays and adapting novels! There have been many, many TERRIBLE screen adaptations of other media, but there have also been many wonderful screen adaptations, which have sometimes been closely faithful and sometimes only used the original story as an inspirational springboard. (I personally see both Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle" and DreamWorks' "How to Train Your Dragon" as more of examples of the latter.)
MXTX's works have gotten live-action adaptations before. "The Untamed" is generally held to be a pretty good and relatively faithful adaptation of MDZS. And TGCF is also getting a live-action drama under the name "Eternal Faith". If it was announced that SVSSS was getting a similar drama, I would be a little baffled but fine with it, and also genuinely interested to see how they intended on expanding SVSSS into 50 episodes or something (definitely possible), and also how they intended to cover certain parts of the story without making it explicitly gay. I wouldn't even care if it was bad; I still have the original books to enjoy. Show me your live-action drama Moshang. I'm ready for some awful wigs.
(The main nightmare scenario is getting a bad or good but unfaithful adaptation that you hate but gets super popular, overrunning your book fandom with alternate characterization and pairings and worldbuilding that you can't stand. I'm sure there are book MDZS fans who absolutely loathe "The Untamed".)
The main issue with a USAmerican studio making a "Naruto" movie in my eyes (I don't even care about "Naruto" that much, I never finished it) is that 1) Hollywood is always extremely weird about anime and also Japan in general, so there's a high chance that the people at the top try to make story-breaking changes, and also try to cast white people. They do not have a good record. If this was a Japanese studio making this film, I would not blink at it. 2) "Naruto" is a very long story that doesn't lend itself easily to a stand-alone film. Either they only tackle a fraction of the story or squish way too much together. And either way, on the off-chance that the film is successful, we will be cursed to have sequels until they become unprofitable. I personally liked the live-action "One Piece" show fine, but it was a 7-hour show, not a 2-3-hour film.
I'm not even against the concept of modern remakes, personally, or even completely against the concept of live-action versions of animated films. I would give the Disney remakes something of a pass if they did interesting new stuff that took advantage of their medium or actually indicated they cared about creative quality, instead of rehashing the cartoons almost exactly but worse. The saddest part about things like "The Lion King" (2019) is that even if you kept the story exactly the same, beat for beat, shot for shot, it could have potentially been a vibrant celebration of the advancements in realistic VFX and the skill of the animators and artists involved (and there are some INCREDIBLY talented people being unfairly crunched and underpaid in these industries), but they instead chose to make everything about it visually as dull as dishwater. And I personally expect that the "How to Train Your Dragon" remake, instead of incorporating anything new or interesting, or really showing off some spectacular, well-crafted visuals, will be the same.
Anyway, this ask gave me the idea of a USAmerican studio making a live-action SVSSS film, which is what blue-screened my brain. I cannot fathom how any USAmerican studio would agree to that (it's foreign, it's gay, it's historical fantasy, it's fucking weird, it's everything that scares boring execs who crave maximum profits) and I'm sure they would fuck it up magnificently, such that I almost kind of want them to do it.

came up with a...not-quite AU, maybe more of a spinoff for SVSSS...
Bingge, after being rejected by SQQ, decides to head off and find his own Shizun! He appears in a modern city and finds a man stumbling about who bears a striking resemblence to his shizun!
Surprise, he's discovered a drunk Shen Tianyu! Older brother of one Shen Yuan, whose life basically went downhill after the abrupt and unexpected death of his younger brother a few years earlier.
Although the Shen family excelled at business and encouraged all ambitions towards it, including excessive hours, they were generally pretty tight-knit....Shen Tianyu, however, had become a bit distant from his siblings and his baby brother's death brought the reality of how much he'd become disconnected from his family crashing down on him. He lashed out at work, got divorced from his wife, lost his reputation, was suspended from his high-paying job for an undetermined time, and now goes out drinking probably way too frequently.
AND THIS is the Shen Tianyu that Bingge has discovered wandering around late at night. Whatever shizun he thought he was going to find, a drunken depressed alcoholic divorcee isn't it. Shen Tianyu delved into his brother's accounts and read PIDW (actually he's kinda fond of the story in his own way) and assumes he HAS to be hallucinating when Luo Binghe suddenly appears in front of him one night while he's stumbling home drunk after being cut off by a concerned bartender. He's tickled that Binghe is seemingly real and solid and when he hugs Binghe the man doesn't push him away or anything. If anything, Luo Binghe looks sad about the whole thing. He looks at Shen Tianyu the way a lot of people do lately....like he used to be this great thing and he's just a huge disappointment now. (in fairness, Tianyu is pretty sure this is all true, he just doesn't like people looking at him like it is) Bingge holds Tianyu gently and immediately decides he can't leave him alone like this. "Why not? I'm usually alone like this."
Shen Tianyu awakens in the morning to find himself neatly tucked into bed with his hair neatly brushed and pyjamas properly on his body instead of half-naked and hungover on the living room floor with his hair in a tangled mess like usual. And there's the smell of food cooking???? Luo Binghe is in his kitchen, cooking him breakfast. LUO BINGHE IS IN HIS KITCHEN COOKING HIM BREAKFAST. "Am I still hung over?"
"I'm sure you wish you were, but no." Bingge explains briefly that he came here to try to find his own shizun, and he found Tianyu. Shen Tianyu can only jokingly respond that if he wanted a sad pathetic long-haired man in green to take care of, he definitely found it but otherwise- "you're not pathetic, Shen Tianyu." Tianyu slams x to doubt. "Okay, fine-you're very pathetic. Perhaps one of the most pathetic men i have ever witnessed." ("i read your story, you encounter quite a lot of pathetic men-i'll take this as a compliment." "plz don't, it's not")
Bingge came to this modern world looking for a kind shizun who cared for him the way SQQ did for the other him. Shen Tianyu isn't that shizun. He is kind, in his own way, but not quite in the way he'd hoped. And he knows Luo Binghe's full story but still treats him like a person. Not even a scary person, or a deadly person....just....a person. And under the trauma and depression, he finds an intelligent ambitious man with close family ties and a dark sense of humor. He just...needs to be watched closely and made to take his meds and forced to limit his drinking more.
Other trivia:
-From oldest to youngest, the Shen kids are Shen Hanjun, Shen Tianyu, Shen Yuan, and Shen Miaoyu (the only daughter, their parents' pride and joy)
-Business majors, all of them. Well, except Shen Yuan-he put off applying to college, swearing he'd get to it sooner or later, and then he abruptly died at 24 without ever getting around to it.
-Shen Tianyu was married to a rather particular woman by the name of Bai Lianhua, something he now believes is a huge joke considering what a shrew she turned out to be at the end. (when he had a breakdown over his brother's death, his wife was upset he paid less attention to her, his "real family")
-Shen Tianyu actually has a young son by the name of Shen Jiuyuan, currently age 7. When he was born Tianyu told his wife having 'yu' in the name was a family tradition, and it IS...but that's not why he added 'yuan' onto the initially proposed name of Jiu. He lost a bet to Shen Yuan, and had to name his first son after his brother. (he won't tell even Bingge what bet exactly he lost to his brother, just that it was embarrassing).
-Shen Tianyu has a childhood friend/enemy by the name of Shang Qingshui. When they were young they were close, but they've always teased each other the whole time. (Hanju, for one, hasn't always been convinced they're really friends, since Qingshui seems to be strangely antagonistic to everyone he knows, and Tianyu just seems to be the first/only to put up with it with any great measure of humor)
Fun fact: Shang Qingshui turns out to be the OG Shang Qinghua, having been forced out of his own body when Airplane was transmigrated into the role. He thought it was curious that the only person who could put up with him had the same family name as the Peak Lord from his original home plane, but he never gave it much thought. Then Tianyu finally returned to work with his new boyfriend in tow and it's GODDAMN LUO BINGHE. HOW. He thought he was done with that man when he got transmigrated out of the world where he existed but now he's HERE. He's supposed to be a fictional character here?!
I haven't decided yet if Shang Qingshui is genuinely related to Airplane, but it'd be funny if they were cousins or something and he was just that one insufferable cousin to Airplane that his parents tried to force him to hang out with sometimes bc Qingshui seems to actually have his shit together. (or in other words he has a business degree and an office job with a good paycheck) "but mom he's an ASSHOLE" "he's an asshole with a regular job and good education, why don't you take after him more"
-Bingge starts out just trying to take care of Shen Tianyu bc good GOD the man is a mess. At one point he was probably a well-groomed neat businessman...when Bingge arrives his hair is past his shoulders and he rarely wears anything more complicated than sweats on a regular basis unless his bar of choice has a dress code. It's months before he recalls his original plan to try to find his own shizun and seduce him.
Then Tianyu flirts first. Bingge doesn't know how to respond.
-Bingge manages in the modern world more easily than even he predicted. Most things are labelled, and the internet? So useful. Once Tianyu gets him a phone, he can look up anything he doesn't already know. Personally Tianyu isn't surprised-he read PIDW, Luo Binghe can do anything he needs to, right? Figuring out basic internet and appliance usage is simple even for regular people, let alone the protagonist of a stallion novel.
-Bingge does end up reading PIDW, at his own insistence. If it's the story he's the main character of in this world, he should know what went into it. Tianyu is so reluctant to show it to him, he's actually a little disappointed. He can't call it a work of art, and he finds the writing awkward to read as the subject of the whole damn thing, but he really thought it was going to be much worse. But Tianyu seems to like it...so he supposes he won't insist on getting rid of it.

a heart swelled to bursting by eggstasy
(mature) (underage, graphic depictions of violence)
The summer training camp of Bakugou's second year at UA descends upon him with all the untamed fury of- well, himself, honestly.
PACKING CHECKLIST: ✓boyfriend (need to figure out how much he's willing to let him get away with) ✓people who claim to be his friends (deluded and in need of correction) ✓ptsd (that he absolutely doesn't actually have) ✓a healthy dose of denial (say it five times fast and that means it's true, right)
Todoroki Shouto’s Amateur Guide to Not Fucking Up The Timeline by anubisisms
All that Todoroki had wanted was milk. Nothing drastic, nothing dramatic, just milk.
Unfortunately, in his quest to get milk, he ended up running into one of the saltiest, most impulsive people this side of the globe. Who also just so happened to have a volatile time-travel quirk.
So yeah, he was fucked. Just slightly. Being punted randomly through time wasn't exactly how he'd wanted to spend his Saturday morning. At least the younger versions of his friends are cute.

the death of our hands by Bershlate
Akaashi Keiji was a lot of things, depending on who you asked.
A brilliant student. A failed son. The boy Bokuto Koutarou had loved since the beginning.
Akaashi Keiji doesn't know who he is, but he's trying.
by this time next year by reeology
"I got offers from two universities," Kageyama announces, pointing at his chest with his thumb. "I'm going to play volleyball at Keio this spring."
"You still have to pass an exam, even if it's an easy one," Takeda-sensei hurries to add, although he is beaming and bursting with pride at his fluffy little crow chick taking off to play volleyball at a university level.
"I'll pass," Kageyama says with the same kind of confidence he uses when he tells Hinata he'll get the toss to him. He looks straight at Hinata, and Hinata jerks and turns red, wondering if maybe Kageyama knew he was daydreaming about something as stupid as the way Kageyama talks to him during a game. But then Kageyama just points at him and says, "You'd better get in, too."
Hinata, stupid, naive, idiot that he is, grins wide and nods and says, "Yeah!"
He doesn't know what he's in for.
i’d probably still adore you (i did last time i checked) by hheroes
“Bo,” Meian said, “you should bring your boyfriend!”
“Yeah!” Bokuto agreed. It took several seconds for him to follow up with, “I mean, I would, except I don’t have a boyfriend?”
Or, two truths and a lie: 1) Contrary to popular belief, Bokuto Koutaro was not dating his best friend, Akaashi Keiji, 2) he promised to move on from Akaashi ages ago, so 3) it wasn't like he even wanted to date him anyways.

The Sculptor by Eleanor_Fenyx
(mature)
Wei Wuxian's ad appeared in the Sunday paper just two days ago:
Wanted: Subject to pose as reference for neoclassical academic commission. Tall-ish height and muscular physique helpful, but not necessary. 3 months’ pay at min. Enquire at Yiling Fine Arts Collective if interested.
And now, here in his studio on an otherwise normal Tuesday morning, stands the most stunning man Wei Wuxian has ever seen here to do as instructed - enquire.
-/-
"You’re definitely tall enough for what I’d like, but it’s a bit hard to tell your physique until you undress-“
“Undress?”
“Yes,” Wei Wuxian replies with a sinking heart - it had been a misunderstanding then, though how that actually happened he has no idea. In all of history hasn’t everyone known that artists need nude models? “That’s a requirement. Not all the time, I suppose, and definitely not right away…but a neoclassical piece means a nude or mostly-nude figure, Lan Wangji. I’ll need a nude model.”
“I…Yes, of course,” Lan Wangji prevaricates. He’s too well-disciplined to fidget, Wei Wuxian would guess, but it’s painfully clear that he wants to. “I understand.”

Shen Yuan of No Relation by Gemi
(mature)
There is a boy digging a hole.
There should be nothing special about him. He is one of many children digging holes, each and every one eager to get a spot on Cang Qiong Mountain. At a distance, there was black hair and shabby clothes.
Yue Qingyuan could not look away from him.
-
In a world where they are the same age, Shen Yuan is going to try his very best to become the best friend of his favorite protagonist and prevent the blackening of Luo Binghe! Only, there is a problem.
Shen Yuan looks way too much like the scum villain himself, Shen Qingqiu.
osmanthus jelly by sixin
(explicit)
After burning down Qiu Manor, Shen Jiu escapes to the red light district.
Thirteen years later, Liu Qingge finds himself reluctantly acquainted with Qingqiu, the top courtesan of the Warm Red Pavilion.
pride is not the word I'm looking for by Tossawary
(mature)
Shang Qinghua goes to take a self-indulgent peek at his baby protagonist son and gets a kick to the shrivelled heart for his troubles. He gave up on changing the story years ago! Yet he finds himself helping his protagonist son's adoptive mother anyway. Just this one change won't matter too much, right?
One little change leads to more. Shang Qinghua never meant to care, but he becomes invested in making sure that his new family survives the looming plot. With the changes to the world cascading around him, with his position as a traitor pulling him between his sect and a certain ice demon, and with the protagonist growing up so quickly, how is one displaced author meant to ensure that everything turns out all right?
A Pre-Canon to Canon Divergence story.

𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘 ☁          hi! my name is jamey, and i am 28 years old. unfortunately i may not be very active, as i have many things i try to juggle and focus on. i do have a main blog and a discord, but i prefer not providing those until i am comfortable and know you well enough. please be patient with my replies, but if it has been a while since i have (such as a few days), feel free to let me know by DMing me or sending me an ask.
𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘 ☁          i’m semi selective, especially as someone who’s starting out in the rp scene on tumblr. i have roleplayed on tumblr before, but not consistently since 2012-2015. i would prefer to roleplay with mutuals, but i am definitely open to making more connections if i’m not following you/you’re not following me. now when it comes to age, i only want to roleplay with people who are 21+, as i’m uncomfortable making connections with anyone below that. please have your age somewhere on your blog (or at least mention that you're 21+) if you'd like me to interact with you! themes on my blog may be suggestive and not necessarily NSFW (yet there still may be that chance), but i still want to keep that boundary. suggestive/NSFW themes WILL be tagged. also, i’m completely fine with roleplaying with duplicates! in fact, i find it very fun and encourage it. when it comes starting roleplays, feel free to send me a DM, ask/prompt, or just tag me in a post if i don't have an open RP post going!
𝐀𝐒𝐊 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒/𝐈𝐍𝐁𝐎𝐗 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒 ☁         when it comes to sending in asks, i would like them to be limited to only 2 (at most) per prompt! i love being given options, but it does get a bit overwhelming if there's too many, especially with multi-muse blogs. i may also decide to just pick one or the other instead of both, as my brain sometimes struggles with juggling multiple threads. ADHD and all.
𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓 ☁          please do not interact with me or my blog if you write or condone racism of any kind (this also includes white-washing), homophobia, transphobia, pedophilia, grooming, misogyny, nazism, zionism, ableism, pseudocest, and/or incest. i also do not want to interact with pro-shippers, especially people who ship kaeluc or chengxian, as it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. if i follow you and you do any of that and i somehow didn’t realize it until later, then goodbye! you get no notice. in continuation with above, if i notice you’re in contact with minors, even if you don’t write NSFW with them (which i hope to GOD you don’t),  it’s an autoblock as well. you do you, but i ain’t about that life.
𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 ☁          i love shipping very much and i am a multi-shipper, but it is not a priority by any means. i love making connections overall and i do not plan to make romantic (or sexual) connections within a single interaction. i want our characters to build a relationship from the ground up, even if there are pre-established connections in canon. if our characters do manage to make a meaningful connection, then we can communicate about them going further! speaking of shipping, i am completely okay with our characters having a polyamorous relationship (not harem) or having other relationships in different verses. (ie. my character x your character in the main verse / your character x another character or my character x another character in a modern verse/au, etc.) i'm also actually fine with your character having multiple other relationships in the same verse. those can be separate, i really don't mind. only time i mind is if they're all acknowledged at once in that same verse without proper communication, as my muses will see that as cheating, if any of that makes sense.
𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒 & 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 ☁          this blog may contain suggestive themes, violence, blood, murder, manipulation, death, etc. of course, all of these themes will be tagged appropriately when roleplayed! though, if there are any themes or warnings that could harm/trigger you, please let me know right away. i want to make sure you are comfortable and do not wish to upset you. communication is key, and i want to make sure we have that connection established. triggers will be tagged as “tw (xyz)”. example: “tw blood”. as for NSFW, there will be suggestive things, and if a roleplay is heading into the NSFW direction, then i ask it to take it to DMs. speaking of NSFW/suggestive things, it will be tagged as “usfw //”, “nsfw //”, or “tw suggestive” depending on the context.
𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 ☁          i’ve mentioned it in “selectivity”, but i have not properly roleplayed on tumblr since 2012-2015. i had a brief time roleplaying in 2020 as wei wuxian, but since then i’ve mostly just roleplayed on discord with friends or on FFXIV. with that being said, my writing may be a little… odd? in the sense that i’m not an expert when it comes to formatting on tumblr (whatwith the changes to making new posts and stuff, since i moved over to twitter once yahoo bought tumblr out). i may try to mold and match to your rp style (in terms of formatting), so if that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know! it’s definitely not to copy you, but moreso for me to “assimilate” (in lack of another term) so i’m not too out-of-place.

I’ve determined that for my Shen Mei AU, it’d be funniest--maybe not the most logical, but definitely funniest--if she unintentionally Horse Girl™’s her way into being the stallion Bingge’s girlfriend -- after having spent most of the earliest parts of SVSSS trying her damnedest not to potentially end up in Bingmei’s harem. That ultimately didn’t exist at all.
Like! Absolutely unintentional, but because Ning Yingying is like the second person Bingge properly meets after Shen Qingqiu... she can’t help being the one to notice her brother brought back the wrong Binghe.
She’s less averse to being called Yingying than the OG is in canon. So that’s not what tips her off (though it is odd), but like... 8′| Her brother’s boyfriend would never attempt to flirt with her. This is. Incorrect. How do backpedal from situation??? How do tactfully reject a Binghe that’s actually kind of scary?
Well, she’s may be kinda banking on the fact that he probably won’t hurt her? Probably. Maybe. And though she’s a bit frightened, she’s doing her best to stay Really Very Nice to him, because she knows what this guy’s been through--and, yes, what he’s capable of. Though, she’d also just sorta like to be nice to him in general, too? Perhaps try to gently explain that things are different here.
Um. Actually, it’d be really bad if her brother came back to this Binghe without his Binghe around, huh. So she resigns herself to maybe? Hanging out with Bingge? If he’d like that, and-- Oh! Hey, there’s someone she thinks he might like to see, because You never had the chance to meet your father, did you?
Do you want to?? He’s alive. She can’t promise how many pieces he’s in at the moment--it’s a long story--but he’s alive! Last she checked, Tianlang-Jun was still being kept at the monastery, so... it'll be fun! Because you aren’t going to get anywhere with the other girls, either. Trust her. Also, it’d be a real pain in the ass if Liu Qingge or any of the other Bai Zhan brats showed up.
Though! She assures Bingge that if anyone tries to give him trouble she’d handle it (and them, if she has to) -- not because he can’t, but because she insists. So, c’mon c’mon! Aren’t you at least a little bit curious? Besides, if stealing something from Bingmei sounds appealing... why not start with dad? She won’t mention that Binghe doesn’t really want anything to do with him, shh. That’s a secret~
....though, to be honest, Tianlang-Jun would probably love to hear about his, uh-- Exploits. Among other things.
Needless to say, Shen Qingqiu comes back & nearly has a heart attack
Binghe is gone.
Note from sister says she & Bingge are gonna go visit Tianlang-Jun???
The PS tells him not to worry, but how can he not worry?!
The Correct Binghe eventually returns to Cang Qiong mountain, which is good & bad (Binghe is upset)
This still leaves them with the problem of two Binghes
Oh Dear God Shen Yuan’s Sister Was Transmigrated Into One Of Bingge’s Wives.
TLDR visit with Fafther goes better than anticipated. It’s a little less Father-Son bonding than one might hope, but she wasn’t hoping for much per that regard, really. Just that they’d get along better than TLJ & Bingmei do -- which is thankfully a very low bar. It’s uh.. good for them? She thinks? Anyway, she likes Tianlang-Jun. They are acquainted. Y’know from the time Zhuzhi-Lang kidnapped her, but that’s an AU plot point to be discussed at a later date.
Having successfully navigated a normal(?)--for demons, probably?--conversation and leaving the monastery, Bingge and Shen Mei immediately have to contend with A Very Worried Elder Brother & Bingmei afterward. Oh no.
--anyway, this is all to say that Shen Mei was very serious when she said that if anyone gave Bingge trouble, then she’d handle it. She can’t hope to compete if things escalate, but she WILL stand between Bingge and Shen Qingqiu and chastise her brother for being Mean To Him. Which Bingge doesn’t. really. know what to do with.
He’s perfectly fine with starting a fight. Bingmei’s fine with a fight. Yet, there is a cute lil Ning Yingying yelling at her shizun for his sake??? Like, he has NO idea that they aren’t actually NYY & SQQ, so the impertinence on display is far more than he would have ever expected from the sweet, albeit air-headed Shimei he’d married. Everything is backwards.
It pisses him off. It hurts. It’s unfair.
Shen Mei only just barely prevents an altercation by throwing herself at Bingge and activating her rightful powers as a Little Sister™ (and like. an alternate version of one of his wives?) -- becoming a clingy, doe-eyed mess and begging really, really hard. Please don’t fight. I don’t want you to fight... I won’t let them bully you, okay? Q~Q
Which is simultaneously much more like the NYY Bingge knows & not. Frankly, Shen Qingqiu looks like he’s about to die, because that’s still his Actual Sister!!! Bingmei, on the other hand, is flummoxed and pretty offended. (NYY is gonna be on his shitlist for a hot minute, oops)
Ultimately, Bingge manages to reclaim his sword & fuCKING eSCAPES. Because he’s a loser and this is more Feeling than he can handle. He’ll be back, though. Eventually.
RIP to Shen Mei, who understands not what she’s done. Also, she prefers girls, so... trans!girl Bingge, let’s go.

Love Between Fairy And Devil Commentary Part 3
The final one! Excerpts from my reactions while watching episodes 25-36! Apologies for the delay
Part 1 | Part 2
SPOILERS ahead!
when did shangque fall in love with her anyway i feel like it snuck up on me. like it was obvious it was going to happen, but the how happened subtly
the grooms need to get DRESSED
it would be hilarious if girlie and sauron get together now and kiss and people see and incest rumors cause the weddings to fall apart
wow sauron looks SO weird with his hair up
a red wedding is about to happen // its snowing as well for maximum effect
he cannot control hellfire well anymore he really should not be doing this
i love that him being 'injured' means he got eyeliner and dark lipstick
she didnt fail the tribulation besties she is fine
FINALLY we get a badass moment from girlie
wdym 'why cant i control hellfire' its obviously cause you have emotions again
have i mentioned how much i hate jin guangshan
did she just feed him her blood to heal? what in the svsss?
girlie's 'i want to jump into the river' after getting caught locking lips was so cute
also why is everyone acting like they dont know why sauron cant use hellfire // i mean he was against her restoring his emotions for this very reason??
god i knew they were gonna be disgustingly cute
i think jieli was prettier in the mortal clothes but girlie is definitely more gorgeous in her immortal robes
i really appreciate the little comedic moments scattered through this show
omg this is beautiful // the women singing together for the return of their men // very avatar like
DAMN that was an eventful two episodes // the wedding happened, batman appeared, everything went to plan, batmans identity was revealed, girlie and sauron finally kinda got together, danyin and ice man came back and girlie's true identity was also revealed
its so crazy that they are saying they need to settle the score as if sauron hasnt regularly whooped jack frost's ass completely
girlie you were happy as a mortal cause you were rich
omg she is literally 'i see you as a nice friend'-ing him rn. i didn't expect this level of self awareness
sauron feeling proud of dragon boy for scoring a date
sorry dragon boy jieli is a businessminded woman
i feel like a matchmaking auntie watching these cuties together
oh good batman backstory // he literally has no parents. but he is also blind like a bat. and uses sound - the flute. // i am a genius
HAN PU!????????? baby batman is HAN PU (who rules the world reference)
also batman is literally luo binghe (svsss reference)
good for jin guangshan and jack frost's mom for running away and escaping this madness
frostie is suicidal. cue the beat boxing song
YES GO FULL HIPPIE ICEY BOY
that man did NOT swallow
DANYIN? danyin is the baby??? then why does the pregnant lady look like jieli???
i am 99% convinced fake old god is gonna die
this is a very random last minute storyline/backstory that i did seriously not see coming
has jieli been a plant by catwoman and batman this whole time?? thats why she cant reciprocate dragon's feelings?
shangque stop saying you'll forgive her manipulating you
damn the whole city gathered to stop him from getting laid
he wants to mawwy herrr
this is why dating villains is fun, they truly dont give a fuck about right or wrong, just you. great romance
he didnt go to hang locks! does he need to get the spike in him right NOW?
that punishment is so awful sauron become 3D in a 2D show
there is lightning! are they gonna kiss kiss body swap again?
Tumblr media
why dont they just tell emo boy girlie isnt a fairy, she is the goddess of xishun
this conflict is seriously so unneccessary, she is a GODDESS
the people on twitter were right, this does get only better as you keep watching
thats not a cave, thats a torture chamber
and he decided to share her pain // ofcourse he did
thats a long ass wig
i thought he was gonna carry her but them walking hand in hand is so much better
ice man and jin guangshan's fathers name is lord DONG that is amazing
wowwwwww danyin just confessed her love in front of EVERYONE // balls // she has got balls
girlie's true identity was the fix-it of everything huh
dragon boy is brave to the point of stupid giving jieli all his money // omg is she finally accepting him // i wonder what they will get up to in his dragon form
now wtf is happening here
plot is now aiming at killing girlie i see
i dont see how he didnt see the loss of hellfire coming from miles away after he got his emotions back, i mean wasnt he so opposed to it for this very reason??
i cant believe they hurt my babygirl dragon boy
the phrase "menacing fairies" is quite funny
sauron just wants to live in domestic bliss but the plot wants WAR
i love the meek obedient expression sauron gets on his face around girlie
he is too smart to work with an obviously evil swirling dark cloud // right?
mr sauron i thought you werent gonna lie to her
she has gotten good at setting boundaries
is he possesed rn or just what is happening
i hope the war lives up to the hype, unlike who rules the world // i mean we have been talking about it for literally 30 episodes
the crazy thing is that if he had been straight up with her and told her why she has to die she would have killed herself easily
jieli is fucking smart
I GET IT NOW // he cant take off the bone orchid cause she is devoted to him, so he has break her heart so he can take it off
oooo is it time for ✨war✨
for two opposing armies the fairy realm and demon realm sure have the exact same armour
i think even if she tries to kill herself she wont die cause of special goddess powers
ooooo i think he will use the evil qi and then girlie will purify it
wow her screams of pain are quite intense
honestly i am sick of lady war just having no agency in this story // like lets have her come back to life and tell off batman please
ohhh its the long awaited batman vs iceman fight
they sure picked a place with terrible visibility for this war huh
who tf is qingchuan???
after all this time iceman just now found out batman is ronghao?
love how lady si ming still hasnt shown up again // though i do still believe she will
i knew it!! her magic dust brought everyone back to life
that god(dess) for better visibility amirite
wait are they still pretending she isnt gonna live
sauron doesnt have enough sand on his face, he face planted multiple times. i need him to be coughing up sand
oh wow she is actually disintigrating thanos snap style
why is jieli not just telling dragon boy the truth that she was poisoned? is it cause she knows catwoman is gonna come after her and she doesnt want him to get hurt?
and now batmans all happy and shit?? rude
omg stop manipulating lady war i am sick and tired of her agency being taken away
awwww this is a very cute sequence if not for the fact that he is definitely dreaming
wow watching sauron smile with all his teeth is weirddd
so i guess the remaining 5 eps will be him trying to get girlie back
if dragon boi dies i am gonna riot
oh its a dream sharing incense burner!
woooooow hot take from ice man there 'she will come back from death cause she hasnt married me yet'
i love the juxtaposition of the chaos irl and the serenity in his dream
i am really confused about the girlie marrying iceman prophecy because there is no way thats gonna happen right? unless she has some serious memory loss or something
i am so confused about ronghao's feeling towards lady war
jin guangshan is a fucking bitch
hah i knew lady si ming was gonna turn up
what a power couple though lady si ming and her dragon living together forever
popping back in to say i was right about the memory loss (i stopped in the last few eps cause i was tired lol)
i hate memory loss tropes btw // her memories better come back
did lady war just off danyin?? // misdirect
after i was done i had some last words to say
the ending wasnt bad exactly, plot wise, but i missed the light hearted tone of the show in the last six episodes and also why do we get more fluff in the middle than at the end??
all i wanted was to see them getting married and sitting on the moon throne as king and queen
and not a single jielie/shangque kiss?? we were ROBBED
And that's it folks!! Overall a very fun and enjoyable experience, would recommend!

Introductions are in order
Hey there! Name's Night, and welcome to my blog! I'm just a weird little agender creature who was given a pen, some notebooks, a bunch of books, and way too much free time on my hands as a child, and I'm making it everyone's problem.
I'm just a writer with little to my name ever since I abandoned my old Wattpad account back in who knows how long. I'm currently just writing fanfiction, short stories and prompts and I am willing to write works for others like artists or other writers as gifts, however I don't have any plans on attending any major or minor writing events and will probably not for the unforeseeable future as of now. I have too much on my plate to be worrying about that right now, sadly.
I'm in many fandoms, however I'm only planning on writing for a select few, as they are my current interests as of now. The fandoms in question are Transformers, LEGO Monkie Kid, Sonic The Hedgehog, Security Beach, Cult of The Lamb, The Amazing Digital Circus, AvA/AvM, DCxDP, Undertale, and SVSSS. (Note: This list is bound to change more often than you think.)
I'm not exactly sure what my boundaries in writing are as I'm currently stuck in the experimenting phase right now, heh. Technically, I've been stuck in that phase for a while now, but I haven't exactly gone too far yet...
I do have my own set of rules though, which are the basics, really. One, retain basic decency and do not send asks about my personal information nor send me yours or anyone else's personal information. I will not have anyone message me privately, and I will not accept requests with payment attached to write anything for you. Do not harass others or myself, do not send asks frequently about when I might be updating soon, and do not be petty and argue with me about my writing because you did not like a specific ship/headcanon/scene/etc. I will be putting warnings on all my works, so please don't blame me for your decision in reading my works. And no, do not give me any comments about "constructive criticism" when I did not specifically ask for it.
That being said, I do not mind it if you are simply correcting me for a mistake such as an unmentioned tag or warning, because I am prone to those too. Just please be kind about it, and do not cause an unnecessary scene.
Also, I do appreciate fanworks, fanart, or just about anything made for my work, even memes! I just ask that you provide credits to me or links to those specific works so that others can get a chance to read them as well.
I have an ao3 account and a squidgeworld account, because I plan on locking all my works on ao3 to registered users only because they have taken a neutral stance in AI as a whole whereas squidgeworld is purely anti-AI, which is why all the works on there will be unlocked. I go by Mysteries_Of_The_Mind on both of them, so it shouldn't be too confusing. I will have to state that I will not allow anyone to go and repost and/or steal my works on those and in other websites. Podfics and screen readers are fine, though.
I don't have any other socials that directly relate to my writing blog, so if you see anyone parading around as me on other websites like Twitter, that's most definitely an imposter, so kindly just block and report, please.
... And I think that's it! I guess I'll see you all another time, I suppose. Maybe sooner than you think... Anyway, bye!

“You are pretty too.” And he was, immensely so. So pretty, in fact, that he was the epitome of perfection in Shang Qinghua’s eyes. He’d never seen someone so much like his ideal type – never wanted to fuck someone so badly.
But he was not going to admit all that.
Tumblr media
The diplomatic gala was exactly what Shang Qinghua thought it would be: a matchmaking spectacle with everyone packed onto the floor like sardines and fluffed up like gaudy peacocks.
And he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.
Shang Qinghua made a beeline for a server with a drink, ignoring the protests of his brother, Shen Qingqiu, and retreated to the corner to avoid human interaction. He most definitely did not want some impressionable young man or woman to think he was interested in them just because he was chatting politely and then have them send a formal marriage proposal along with a caravan of jewels and treasures come tomorrow morning. He shuddered at the thought.
He was about to down his third glass of wine for the night when he noticed a man, or rather, a demon, on the fringes of the crowd. Sapphire eyes and a sharp, aristocratic nose sat on a stony-faced pale blue canvas typical of the demons of the Red Lands. His shiny black hair was braided into a long tail down the back with silver-tipped horns jutting out from his thick mane. In the middle of his forehead was a dark blue demon mark – the mark of a Red Lands aristocrat.
He was stunningly attractive and exactly Shang Qinghua’s type: a pretty face with (what he liked to call it) a refrigerator body.
Mhm, delicious.
Suddenly, Shang Qinghua didn’t think this gala was a completely idiotic idea after all.
But he had no time to consider his gorgeous demon before someone announced that dinner was beginning soon, so he shuffled into the great dining hall and plopped into an ornate seat with his name labeled carefully on the back.
Shen Qingqiu took his seat next to him shortly, sighing deeply with his fan waving in short, quick motions despite the fact that it was quite chilly in the room.
“What took you so long?” Qinghua teased.
Shen Qingqiu only fanned harder, looking at him tiredly. “The banquet has not even officially begun, and I am already being run ragged.”
Shang Qinghua arched a fine brow, already knowing the answer. “The women?”
“And men.” He nodded tiredly.
“Well, that’s to be expected seeing as you’re the most eligible bachelor on the content. Well,” Shang Qinghua paused. “Aside from the demon king. But who would want to marry that barbarous man when you're around?”
“I am glad to see you have so much confidence in your brother, but sometimes I find that Mobei-jun has an easier time and it would be better to be him instead.”
“Mobei-jun?”
“Ah,” Shen Qingqiu amended. “Mobei-jun is the king of the Red Lands.”
“And you are on a first-name basis with him?” Shang Qinghua wondered when his brother got close enough to the demon king to call him so casually.
“A secret,” Shen Qingqiu chided him. “But don’t tell anyone. He doesn’t like to be called by that name, but I do it anyway.”
His brother was insufferable. “Can he not have you killed for that?”
“He loves me too much to do that.”
“Huh, so my brother does indeed have a secret love life that I don’t know about. I’m hurt.”
“Hmph, if only I had one.”
“What was that?” Shang Qinghua asked.
Shen Qingqiu looked away, suddenly finding the design on the plate before him to be very interesting. “Noth-”
“That was not nothing!” He interrupted. “You said–”
Heavy doors creaked open to reveal their dinner host and the room fell to a hush as if everyone had drawn one collective breath and was holding it in. And then he saw him – that beautiful horned demon. Shang Qinghua could not tear his eyes away from him and it appeared that everyone else felt the same.
The demon king made his way to the head of the table and turned his head toward Shang Qinghua’s direction, blue eyes piercing through him. “Shall we,” an icy-honeyed voice rolled through the room, “begin dinner?”
Everyone let out their breaths at the same time: the servants began moving and plating food, aristocrats turned toward their neighbors for conversation, and Shen Qingqiu began fending off the two women seated closest to them.
Shang Qinghua looked down at the table, cheeks burning from the encounter. Was he staring at me? Impossible. Why would he be looking at me? We've never met before and it’s not as if I'm the most handsome man or woman in the room – in fact, far from it. Ah, he’s so hot. I really want to jump his bones, but now that I know who he is…it seems almost impossible for me to do that. And he wouldn’t want me either. By the stars, he’s so attractive though and–
Shen Qingqiu broke off from the women for a moment after he noticed that Qinghua wasn’t eating. “Brother, is the food not to your liking? You’ve never been one to shy away from stuffing your face at banquets.”
Qinghua was too preoccupied to take note of his teasing, instead too focused on trying to stop his cheeks from burning. He was glad that the lighting was dim so that his brother wouldn’t tease him for it. “I think the king was staring at me just now.”
The meat on Shen Qingqiu’s silver fork balanced precariously mid-air on the edge of the prongs. “Why do you think he was staring at you?”
“Because his eyes were on me and in my direction? Pupils trained on me?” Shang Qinghua wasn’t some sheltered member of royalty. No, he knew when someone had their gaze on him. Had learned to feel and recognize it.
Shen Qingqiu put the meat in his mouth and chewed while humming. “Perhaps, when he saw you, he thought you the most beautiful person in the room and couldn’t help but stare at you.” He wiggled his eyebrows.
Shang Qinghua almost burst out laughing before realizing that doing so would be highly inappropriate in the current situation so he stifled the urge by shoving a piece of lamb in his mouth. “If that is what he thinks, then he must be blind or a fool.”
“Why?”
Shang Qinghua pointed at himself as if it was obvious. “Because I am clearly not the most eye-catching person here. If he thinks so, then there must be something wrong with him. There are plenty of others here that are a hundred, no, a thousand times more beautiful than I am. I'm very plain and have no delusions about my appearance. A five out of ten on a good day. You know this, brother.”
Shen Qingqiu shook his head. “I do not, Qinghua. You must have more confidence in yourself. You are as beautiful if not even more beautiful than them.”
Qinghua knew his brother was trying to cheer him up, but it didn’t really make him feel any better. “That does not count," he muttered.
“Are you saying a king’s opinion is null?”
“Yes, when the king is my brother.” Shang Qinghua argued back while shoving a potato in his mouth.
“Hmph, then shall we ask our dinner host what his opinion is?”
“No!” Qinghua said quickly. “Why would you even ask him? He wouldn’t care about something trivial like this.”
Shen Qingqiu smirked at him. “So you care about his opinion of you? Are you smitten by him?”
“Absolutely not.” His answer was swift. “He looks so stoic and boring, and I want nothing to do with him.” But there was no mistaking the scarlet running across Shang Qinghua’s cheekbones.
“Dear brother, there is no need to fret. I won’t ask him that.”
Shang Qinghua visibly deflated in relief.
“At least in public.”
“What!”
“Don’t ‘what’ me! I’m only asking him for his opinion!” Shen Qingqiu said in defense.
“But I don’t want you to,” he whined.
“It’s a question from a friend to another friend. For curiosity’s sake. After all, you doubt my opinions so I should ask for another king’s opinions, should I not?”
Shang Qinghua groaned. “You are so embarrassing. Then please at least do it when I’m not in your presence.”
“Can’t promise that.” Shen Qingqiu skewered another piece of meat and put it in his mouth. “We’re going to go see him later and that might be my only chance to ask him before we leave.”
“What?” Shang Qinghua almost dropped his fork in his lap, barely catching it before the sauce dirtied his clothes. “What do you mean? You never told me we were going to have a private audience with him,” he hissed.
His brother looked innocently at him. “Did Liu Qingge not tell you? Hm, I should punish him for insubordination.”
Shang Qinghua would’ve bared his teeth at his brother if they had not been in public. “Don’t lie! You’re probably the one who told him not to tell me!” He cut his meat with heated anger, sawing at the poor tenderloin while imagining it to be Shen Qingqiu.
“Be nicer to the meat, Qinghua, what did it ever do to you?”
“Everything,” he seethed while continuing to knife the meat. “You know I hate socializing with aristocrats and now you want me to socialize with a king? And on top of it, with one I’ve never even met before! Are you out of your mind?” But at the same time, Shang Qinghua was hoping that he could somehow get into that demon king’s robes. If only.
“Brother, I just want him to meet you. And like what you said, you’ve never met him before. How are we to maintain good relations with the Red Lands if you never meet their king?”
We were doing just fine before all this, he thought, but outwardly, he agreed – it would probably be one of his only chances of meeting him. “Well, I’ll meet him, but I can’t guarantee I’ll like him.”
“That is enough for me.” Shen Qingqiu primly dabbed his mouth with a napkin, conveniently hiding a feline smile behind the fabric.
Still, Shang Qinghua looked at his brother suspiciously. Shen Qingqiu was oddly acquiescent today, but his appetite was back now so he focused on stuffing as much food in his mouth to avoid any further conversation from his brother and any neighboring aristocrats.
⠄・ ⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄
After dinner, Shang Qinghua was escorted to the king’s study room. His brother had promised to be there later, but if the demon prince Luo Binghe hanging off his arm like an oversized puppy was any indication of what was going to transpire, Shang Qinghua knew his brother had left him to fend for himself.
But no matter. Shang Qinghua could deal with a lone demon king. Probably.
So Shang Qinghua sat in his plush seat before the king’s desk, obediently waiting for the king despite wanting nothing more than to go back to his room and sleep. The food coma was kicking in and combined with the relaxing incense, warm draft, and comfortable seat, Qinghua was about to sleep and–
“Prince of the Black Lands, Shang Qinghua.”
He bolted straight up, turning dizzily to find the source of the deep voice. Blue eyes glowed in the shadows before Mobei-jun seemed to materialize in front of him, a flurry of fur and black robes, ice and dominance.
“D-Demon King.”
Mobei-jun frowned. “So it seems that moniker is more popular than I thought.”
Shang Qinghua tried something different. Maybe he didn’t like being called ‘demon king.’ “My king?”
Mobei-jun showed no indication of his feelings aside from a grunt.
‘My king’ would have to do then. Shang Qinghua certainly wouldn’t dare to call a stranger, who was a king no less, by their given name.
“Where is your brother? I am told I would be meeting the two of you.”
“Ah, he–” Shang Qinghua paused, trying to find a good way to word it. “He was last seen with your brother. I’m not sure what business he has with him.”
“Hmph.” Mobei-jun grumbled. “Your fiend of a brother with that brother of mine who's always so clingy and horny...I know exactly what he’s doing with your brother. Or rather, to your brother.”
Shang Qinghua was pretty sure his jaw would’ve been wide open in shock if he wasn’t in the presence of a foreign king right now. “I-I apologize for my brother’s actions. He’s been known to fall prey to pretty faces. And your brother does have one…”
“What about me?” The question was sudden and unexpected.
“What?”
Mobei-jun repeated himself. “What about me?”
“You?” Shang Qinghua squeaked out. “You want my opinion of you?”
He nodded, looking expectantly at him. It was a command and it was to be answered regardless. Fine. He would tell this king what he wanted to hear.
“You are pretty too.” And he was, immensely so. So pretty, in fact, that he was the epitome of perfection in Shang Qinghua’s eyes. He’d never seen someone so much like his ideal type – never wanted to fuck someone so badly.
But he was not going to admit all that.
“Shang Qinghua, come closer.” Mobei-jun's eyes bore deep into Qinghua, so deep that he felt an ache in his soul.
He inched closer to him but kept his distance.
“Closer.”
A scoot forward.
“Closer.” This time there was impatience in his voice.
Qinghua moved so close he could feel the demon king’s cold aura radiate in waves. He shivered when he felt cold winds trail dangerously close to him.
“Tell me the truth,” he murmured. And there it was again, that piercing, cold gaze that seemed to numb Shang Qinghua – and make him want to do anything Mobei-jun said.
“You are indeed very pretty, my king. Very handsome – there is nothing you lack in looks.”
“But there is something I lack?” Mobei-jun was not angry, merely curious.
One would be hard-pressed to find something Mobei-jun lacked. He was the demon king of the Red Lands, after all, with dominion over all in the land and unparalleled powers. His handsome features and muscled physique was not lost on Shang Qinghua either. But if there was something he lacked…
“Softness.” Shang Qinghua ventured hesitantly. “You lack softness, my king.”
“Hmph.” Mobei-jun rearranged his heavy robes and shed the outer layer, perfuming the air with his spicy peppermint scent that seemed to grow stronger with each layer he removed. “I can be soft.”
Shang Qinghua doubted that such a stern-looking demon known for his harshness could be soft, but he did not want his brother to get mad at him for making the demon king angry. So he kept his mouth shut.
Mobei-jun narrowed his eyes. “You do not believe me?”
Shang Qinghua rushed to reassure him. Already, his plan to seduce and appease was failing. “Of course, I believe you, my king!”
“Mobei-jun," he demanded.
“W-what?”
“That is my name – call me that.” It was a command. There would be no room for discussion.
“Yes, my king.”
“Mobei-jun.”
“Mobei-jun,” Shang Qinghua muttered.
The king – no, it was Mobei-jun now, smiled upon hearing his name, revealing white, gleaming teeth. “And I can show you softness if you will allow me.”
Shang Qinghua nodded (for what else was he supposed to do) and kept his eyes trained on those pointed teeth. Mobei-jun brought pale lips and sharp teeth to his face, and Shang Qinghua felt like he was going to faint. By the stars, the demon king was going to eat him.
But what came was not the rip of flesh and hot blood, but spicy peppermint and tenderness – Mobei-jun pressed his lips against Qinghua’s, nipping lightly at the edges while slowly rimming the seam of his warm lips with his cold tongue. The heady combination of Mobei-jun’s spicy scent and cool lips relaxed Shang Qinghua so much that he didn’t even notice when Mobei-jun slipped his tongue in between his, eagerly seeking out Qinghua’s tongue in a tangle of flesh and saliva – as if he wanted to mate their tongues together until they became one.
Shang Qinghua was sure he was drooling at this point and looking very undignified but Mobei-jun tasted too good to let go and who knew when he’d be able to kiss such a delicious man again – if ever? So he gripped his sharp horns, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction when the demon groaned against his lips, tongue faltering ever so slightly in its frantic dance.
Ah, so his horns are sensitive.
It was too good of an opportunity to pass up: Shang Qinghua slid his hands down to the base of Mobei-jun’s horns and scratched lightly, causing the king to pull back from the kiss, leaving a light string of saliva in the wake of their passion. They were both gasping now and Mobei-jun’s cold eyes were most certainly anything but cold now.
“D-Don’t touch my horns. They’re very sensitive.” He shuddered as if the thought of it was overwhelming.
Shang Qinghua let out a small smile. “But my king, they are so very pretty – how can I neglect them?”
If he noticed that Shang Qinghua had reverted back to calling him ‘my king,’ he made no comment about it. Instead, Mobei-jun turned, blushing lightly. “Still, for us demons, touching someone’s horns is like…” He trailed off, too embarrassed to say the rest.
“Touching someone’s penis?” Shang Qinghua pretended to guess. He was an avid reader and writer, those words were like child’s play to him. No word was too crude. Just unused and untried. “Dick? Cock?” His smile grew wider when Mobei-jun visibly squirmed under those words.
“Yes,” Mobei-jun mumbled.
“Hm, then I should touch them more, shouldn’t I? Does it not feel good?”
“It does.” He replied with a small pout. Then he paused for a second, looking heatedly at Shang Qinghua with those cold, sapphire eyes. “But I’d rather make you feel good.”
How could anyone have mistaken this demon for being as cruel as his uncle?
Shang Qinghua prostrated himself in mock deference to Mobei-jun with palms pressed against the floor, forehead resting above his hands. “Your wish is my command, my king. How do you wish to have me?”
The demon picked Shang Qinghua up in one fluid motion before setting him down gently on sumptuous silk bedding as if he had plucked a delicate flower and was trying to keep it from wilting. He pulled a pillow over and gently tucked it under Shang Qinghua’s hips while Qinghua began pulling off his many layers of clothing. And when Shang Qinghua was laid bare for his king’s pleasure, Mobei-jun kneeled in between his legs, unmoving, like a beautiful icy statue.
Shang Qinghua was confused. Wasn’t this the part where they would fuck like bunnies until the morning? “What’s wrong?”
“I–” Mobei-jun swallowed thickly. “I want to commit your image to memory. To burn it into my eyes, my mind, my entire soul until you are all I think about, all I see, and all I remember.”
“T-That’s nice,” Shang Qinghua stuttered, brain shortcircuiting from the intense romancing he was receiving today. “But why don’t we focus on other things first.” His dick twitched in agreement.
Mobei-jun pulled his gaze down, focusing intently. “Yes, other things,” he murmured.
The bed dipped low as he lowered himself to the bed and pushed Qinghua’s thighs apart before planting a languid, cool kiss directly on the tip of his cock where precum leaked.
Shang Qinghua's hips rose instinctually off the pillow as if offering himself to Mobei-jun, and he moaned hard. “Ah, my king.”
Mobei-jun decided then and there that he liked it when Shang Qinghua moaned for him so he kissed his cock again, licking the full length in order to not waste any of his Qinghua’s precious seed. Slowly, he lapped at the fat tip before working it into his mouth, savoring and licking each ridge and vein, careful to give the whole length equal attention.
Shang Qinghua’s dick was not nearly as big as his, nor any other demons for that matter, so despite swallowing it whole – so that his nose bumped against Qinghua’s smooth tummy – it did not reach the back of his throat. But Mobei-jun didn’t mind since it was just another reminder of how cute and small his little human prince was.
As Mobei-jun continued to bob his head along Shang Qinghua’s cock, relishing the musky floral scent flooding his senses and the pretty cries of his human prince, Qinghua’s hips began to fervently push against his mouth, moans growing louder. Mobei-jun couldn’t help reaching up to tweak a pinky nipple – it was so perky and hard that it was almost impossible for him to ignore. The way it stiffened in the air was almost as if it was reaching for his attention. He could not ignore it.
Shang Qinghua came as soon as Mobei-jun pinched his nipple, unable to stop himself from spilling himself in Mobei-jun’s mouth from the combined sensation.
“Ha, fuck, that felt so good,” he panted.
Mobei-jun smiled against Qinghua’s cock, pleased with the fact that he was able to make him cum. He swallowed the semen that sat warmly in his mouth – so warm that it almost burned his cool throat – and spit some of it out on his hand, the creamy liquid spiraling with his pale blue saliva to create an erotic mixture of body fluids.
Shang Qinghua looked down in embarrassment and flushed deeply. “You didn’t have to swallow it, my king. You could’ve just spit it out.”
“And let such precious seed go to waste? That would not be a very kingly thing to do, Shang Qinghua.”
There was absolutely nothing kingly about this entire situation, but Shang Qinghua didn’t bother pointing that out.
“And besides,” Mobei-jun continued, as he gently rolled Qinghua over so that the pillow was under his stomach now. “I need it for you. It won’t feel good if there’s nothing in there. It’ll hurt.” He frowned, pondering the idea. “You do know how sex between two men works, do you not, Shang Qinghua? Or is that not something they teach the humans of the Black Lands? Perhaps I should stop for now and–”
“No!” He’d perish if Mobei-jun stopped. “Of course they do!”
Mobei-jun slapped Qinghua’s ass lightly, pale cheeks turning the loveliest shade of pink. He would have to do that more often if Shang Qinghua allowed him. “Then behave,” he ordered.
Shang Qinghua promptly shut up.
Mobei-jun looked at the mixture in his palm – it wasn’t quite the amount he wanted so he spitted into his palm again until he was pleased with the amount before spreading Shang Qinghua’s ass to drip the saliva-mixed cum over Qinghua’s puckered hole. Mobei-jun let out a groan as it twitched as if to suck everything in. He slowly pushed a finger inside, lightly massaging Shang Qinghua’s rim, testing the small space, before he added another finger and then a third, making sure everything was slippery and wet and ready for him.
Shang Qinghua whimpered against the stretch, but it still wasn’t enough for him. “Please, my king, more. I need more.” I need you.
“Wait.” Mobei-jun’s tone was patient. “You are not ready yet.” He ignored his straining cock – rushing things would make the experience unpleasant. There would be opportunities later for him to take Qinghua fast and hard, but today was not the day.
Mobei-jun continued his slow thrusts in and out of Shang Qinghua’s hole until he could comfortably slide his fingers knuckles deep. Already, he could tell it would be a tight fit (demons and humans were not the most compatible), but he knew that his human prince would be able to take him. He slid his fingers out, enjoying the lewd squelch Qinghua’s ass made and used what remained of the mixture to coat his hard shaft, careful to cover every last inch while holding himself in. He was so ready to spill himself, but he would only do so in Shang Qinghua.
“Qinghua,” Mobei-jun said softly, gently prying open his ass cheeks to rest his heavy length against soft, peachy globes. Again, he itched to slap it, to make it blush bright red and see Qinghua twitch – he knows that his human prince would writhe so beautifully before him – but that would be for another time. “Are you okay? Ready for me?”
Underneath him, Shang Qinghua moaned and unconsciously pushed his ass towards Mobei-jun’s hips, seeking friction against his aching hole while Mobei-jun continued to rub his cock between his ass. His voice came out as a shaky breath. “Yes, my king, please, put it in.”
Being at his limit and unable to reject such a desperate request from his human prince, Mobei-jun began to carefully slide himself into Shang Qinghua, gritting his teeth when he felt a vise-like grip around his cock, eyes watering when he filled Qinghua completely with his balls resting against his perineum.
“Ha, Qinghua, you’re so tight.”
Shang Qinghua’s response came out in ragged breaths. “And you’re…you’re so big.”
Mobei-jun smiled and gripped Qinghua’s lithe hips. “Humans are so tiny that there is no helping it. And bigger only means I can fill you better.”
Compared to the veiled riddles that humans often spoke in, demons were so straightforward. Shang Qinghua buried his face in the pillows, trying to ignore the embarrassment he felt – there was nothing to be embarrassed about since they were already in such a compromising situation, but he felt it nonetheless. No one had ever been this straightforward with him before, not even his own brother.
“Just move,” he grumbled.
“Your wish is my command, Qinghua.” But Mobei-jun dragged his thick cock out of Shang Qinghua at what felt like a snail’s pace and thrust slowly back in, continuing like this until Qinghua felt like he was going to go mad if he didn’t move any faster.
“Faster, my king, you move too slow.”
“Oh? Then you have to tell this king exactly how you want it. Go ahead.” Mobei-jun caught Qinghua’s lips in his, sucking his tongue lightly. “Qinghua,” he whispered, voice so honeyed that Shang Qinghua was pretty sure it’d be impossible to deny him anything. “Tell me what you want.”
Qinghua gulped. It was his turn to be shy now. He hesitated. “I want…I want you to move faster. Inside me.”
“What part of me do you want to move faster inside you? My fingers?” He began to pull his length out stopping when Shang Qinghua whined and reached for his hips.
“No,” he whimpered, unshed tears glistening in his eyes. “I want your…cock.”
That’s all it takes for Mobei-jun to slam his hips into Shang Qinghua’s. “Of course, you can have my cock, Qinghua. You can have it in whatever,” he pulled out only to thrust back inside harshly again, “Way you like.”
Qinghua swayed underneath the force, moaning hard when Mobei-jun began to pound rhythmically into him, breath catching when he hit a particularly soft spot deep inside him. He continued to press his face into the pillow, clenching the sheets around him while focusing on the delicious weight above him and the cold hands that circled his waist.
He was getting close, so close – he could tell by the way his cock ached fiercely and hung heavy in between his thighs. He just needed a little bit more to tide him over the edge so he reached down to grip his length, pumping roughly while fondling his sensitive tip.
“Don’t do that.” Mobei-jun panted.
“W-Why?” Even he could hear the ache in his voice. “I’m so close.”
Mobei-jun narrowed his eyes. “Your pleasure can come from no one but me,” he said harshly. “I’ll do it.”
He pushed Shang Qinghua’s hands away to grasp his length, causing Qinghua to jolt at the cool fingers against his hot, throbbing dick. “Ah, fuck,” he gasped. “That feels so good – just like that, keep rubbing it hard.”
Mobei-jun wouldn’t have stopped even if his life depended on it. Qinghua’s cock felt so good in his hands that he didn’t even want to stop. “Does it feel good, Qinghua? Which do you like better? My mouth or my hand?” He lowered himself so that his lips brushed the tips of Qinghua’s ear. “Or my cock?”
Too fucked out of his mind from Mobei-jun’s continuous thrusting, Shang Qinghua could only pant out a haphazard reply. “My king, ah, fuck I–, a-all of them feels good. They all feel good.” Mobei-jun squeezed particularly hard then, pushing lightly against Qinghua’s urethra so that cum seeped out. “Shit, ah, I’m gonna cum, ‘m gonna, gonna cum.”
“Then cum.”
His whispered command made the coil in Shang Qinghua snap, and he came so hard he swore he saw stars. Mobei-jun grunted when he felt Qinghua’s slick pool in his palm and seep through his fingers. Anything that came from his Qinghua was precious though, so he brought his fingers to his lips, taking the time to lick it clean off his hands.
“A-again!” Shang Qinghua flushed deeply. “You don’t have to do that…”
“But I want to.” And he was serious about it. Everything that came from Qinghua was a priceless treasure. And Mobei-jun wanted to rip another pretty orgasm from his Qinghua and find release for himself, so he continued to fuck Shang Qinghua through his orgasm, rutting his hips against his. “Qinghua,” he asked. “Can you give me another one?”
Surely another one would be too much. “I-I don’t think so, my king.” Shang Qinghua clenched hard when Mobei-jun slid deep inside. “I-It’s too much.”
“I think you can give me another one though? I want to see your pretty face when you come undone for me. Will you cum for me?”
Such sweet, warm words from such a cold person. How could Shang Qinghua resist his king? “I–”
Mobei-jun could feel Qinghua’s hole ripple against his hard length, milking him, bringing him closer to release. His Qinghua would only need a little more coaxing.
“You take my cock so well, Qinghua, so tight, so pretty and pliant for me. Will you give me another orgasm? I want to feel you squeeze my cock – only then will I cum. After you.”
Shang Qinghua squeezed his eyes shut. Damn this man and his dirty yet flowery words – he knew just how to get to him. He felt his release a few seconds later, his dick throbbing hard from the consecutive orgasm before Mobei-jun suddenly pulled him up into a sitting position to rest his back against his hard chest.
“Ah,” Shang Qinghua gasped. “What are you doing?” In this position, Mobei-jun sank deeper inside him, so deep that his cock seemed to press against Qinghua’s prostate. “My king, if you do that, I’ll–” Mobei-jun didn’t say anything but Shang Qinghua could feel him get bigger before his hips stuttered and he felt hot liquid spill against his prostate at the same time Mobei-jun bit his neck hard, making Shang Qinghua cum a third time. “I’ll c-cum,” he wailed.
Mobei-jun rocked beneath him, riding out his high while Qinghua lay limply in his arms. “Ah fuck, Qinghua, you felt so good.”
At this point, Shang Qinghua was too tired to do anything. He rested against Mobei-jun’s cool chest while Mobei-jun gently moved him so he was laying down, adjusting the pillows and blankets so they could rest comfortably. He left his cock inside Shang Qinghua the entire time, and Qinghua wondered when he was going to take his cock out, but even when he softened and had settled into the blanket and his breathing slowed, he did not take it out.
“My king?”
“Yes, Qinghua?”
Was this something he could say? Or would Mobei-jun get mad? Shang Qinghua decided he’d say it anyway. “Are you going to take it out?”
Mobei-jun slit his eye open. “Take what out?”
“Your…dick.”
“Of course not, what a silly question.” He shut his eye, dragging Qinghua closer to his chest, and said nothing else – as if the argument was finished.
Shang Qinghua didn’t really mind – he just felt a bit stuffed down there and full (he wasn’t used to it), but it felt oddly good, and he supposed this wasn’t going to be a common occurrence, so he let Mobei-jun be.
“Goodnight then, my king.”
Mobei-jun huffed.
It was only when Shang Qinghua fell asleep did Mobei-jun dare to speak.
“Goodnight, Shang Qinghua.” And then, after a pause, and in a low voice, as if he was afraid someone would hear him, he said, “I have loved you since the moment I met you…eight years ago on that fated night. And I will never let you go now that you are in my grasp.”

red lands & black lands come from egyptian mythology - set ruled over the red lands and Horus ruled over the black lands to balance each other out.
i just realized that i have a terrible habit of making things one-shots but putting tidbits of info that make you wonder what happened to warrant that info & whatnot (like the flashback in my previous chilumi fic *cries*).
anyway, moshang nation come get your crumbs!
come yell at/with me on the bird app (where i'm more active)

Reading SVSSS: Chapter 14
Tumblr media
For those who don't know, I am reading SVSSS for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag bloopitynoot reads SVSSS. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
New book new book! Can you believe I am on book three already? Holy heck, time has flown by.
I thought I would switch up my tea process today with a new cup but also I wanted to show off my collection XD We bought some new and some refill teas from the ren faire yesterday (one of our favourite localish tea blenders) and what a collection my partner and I have amassed. I didn't realize how huge it was until I snapped the pic- it feels very at home apothecary LOL
I went with a lady grey latte and instead of my heart mug I was feeling the spooky vibes and and using my mug by Jaxx b. I have a few other handmade mugs I might start featuring because they are fun as heck!
I've rambled enough about my tea and mug let's get into this chapter!
Tumblr media
okay right away bless MXTX for doing such a good job immediately place setting. We are in the demon realms! p9
oof. the energy between Luo BInghe and Shen Qingqiu is so uncomfortable right now. Neither of them saying anything. I am intrigued to see how they sort through this. I know they are end game but like- this is so awkward. p9
oh gosh. Luo Binghe 10000% modeled the room he is basically locking SQQ in after the Bamboo House. Yes SQQ, there most definitely is meaning in it being familiar. p10
So. LOL SQQ's rationale. Instead of "looking too much like a respectable woman kidnapped by a ruffian" p. 10 is to essentially play gay chicken?
RIP well, luo binghe did find out about the blood. so sexually charged though in the way he decided to find out. p11
How is Luo Binghe even surprised that after SQQ being treated this way that he requests that Luo Binghe never see him/see him as little as possible? What did he even expect would happen here?? p12 There is a lot of trust broken between these two.
oh? System feature upgrade? p13
LOL "luxury edition" p14 There must be fanfics about SQQ kept trophy husband
omg what kind of novels was SQQ's sister reading XD those are some wild fantasies. pp14-15
Tumblr media
SQQ: "I will not have stockholm syndrome" okay buddy, we will see what happens with your 'luxury edition' p15
oh luo binghe, that sweet baby boy is having them plant bamboo and is cooking SQQ's meals.p16 this would be even cuter if they talked about things instead of having such a weird dynamic.
Jesus Christ. Shang Qinghua enters again. How does this man stealth so well when he is kind of an idiot? I feel like terrible decisions and bad luck follow him everywhere- but he is just slippery enough to get away. p17
LOL SQQ: Your protagonist turned gay. Shang Qinghua: eh, it's fine as long as I'm not the love interest. sucks to be you. p18
okay but I want to know how deep the info of this world goes. Where does it pool the information to generate everything- just published content OR is it everything and anything Airplane thought about or created (ie the lost computer files about Luo Binghe's dad) p19
uuuugh not another interruption- I feel for you SQQ, I too want to know what he was going to say about your tragic backstory in the original edit. p22
Airplane really said 'no homo' "That man of yours is here. Let's do it later- wait, I mean let's chat later" p22
okay okay okay! The boys are talking for real about their mutual deception of one another. Is this the path to them figuring their shit out?? Maybe they will talk about their trust issues. p23
Tumblr media
Okay I am with Luo Binghe on this- it did feel as though SQQ completely did a 180 on fundamental life beliefs RE: no one is inherently evil because of their race. p23. So I understand Luo Binghe here- I am glad they are talking.
OMG pp24-25
well. that escalated quickly LOL pp24-25
Luo Binghe probably "hit me harder daddy shizun" p26 +500 satisfaction points.
is Luo binghe going to assault him 😭😭😭😭 this is not it. that was not cool that entire part was so gross "If shizun see's me as no better than a beast either way, I might as well live up to expectations" p27
thank fuck all of that was interrupted, but also now i'm deeply concerned for SQQ!!!! is it the other demon blood? Is it past (young SQQ) trauma?? What's happening?? (no one actually answer this I 1000% know it will be resolved in due time, but I am having a panic about the guy).
Well that's not good at all
this was one rollercoaster of an opening act omg. Not a good time for everyone involved at the end there. I am VERY glad SQQ was not assaulted but I am SRESSED now for other reasons.

There is absolutely nothing more fucking 'how dare you be relatable' to me than how much I think about how I literally cracked my egg while reading svsss and getting mad that wwx was pretty in a way i could never be and literally trying to pass it all of as art envy till I broke and screamed and almost threw my monitor across the room in shame and then proceeded to plot my own death fake and then had to process that maybe it isn't the most cis thing in the world to read so much porn for the plot. Maybe the obsession with genderbender tags and cosplaying only men was a sign and not me going 'well i just haven't found a female character I can relate to in any capacity that makes me want to '. Maybe having a collection of anime men that fall under specific peak aesthetic that you would never want to be intimate with is a little trans. Maybe just wanting to be kuranosuke from princess jellyfish is a bit trans.... But really its fine. I'm just envious. I'm not like that. Haha. I mean tons of cis girls probably think about wanting to be a beautiful man. We should definitely fake our own death. Be in spiraling denial. And then proceed to look at the clock and go happy birthday to me on this 21st of September I have to admit I am trans. The entire time I clowned on Shen Yuan for not getting he's gay/bi and the ability to deny the signs as I very firmly refused to acknowledge the irony.
This is a long winded way of saying that the ideal reading experience for scum villain is absolutely ruining your life with a horrible realization and denying it the entire reading time and then admitting it once you reach the end of the book and plot your own death faking... Again

Alright, let me start by saying that I am a huge Hua Hua fan, and he is my ultimate favourite character in all MXTX books specifically, and the danmei genre in general.
going into details on why i like him is not the goal of this post.the reason why i am making this, is to answer to a "hate" thread regarding Hua cheng.
the main points this thread uses are the following, and i will try to answer each point individually :
- Beautiful as hell and more pretty than anyone else
- He is a static and underdeveloped character
- Always has the best sense of humor
- Can be obnoxious and get away with it
- Has an endless array of powers
- Tragic backstory
- Was bullied as a child
- Is always right
- the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods comes off as creepy stalker and not romantic
- Beautiful as hell and more pretty than anyone else :
while reading TGCF we need to keep in mind that we are reading the story through Xie Lian's point of view, reason why some parts of the story do sound biased, sometimes ambiguous, sometimes unreliable..etc. the description that Hua cheng is the most beautiful creature that ever set foot on the face of the universe, is how Xie Lian sees Hua cheng,and doesn't mean it's true. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right ? ( well, if i am being honest the man is fine AF.. I mean have you seen the manhua et STARember arts hehe *wink*wink).We can all agree that not all the characters present in the book share the same opinion, and definitely everyone has their fair share of beauty, even Qi Rong of all people. So, is Hua Cheng "Beautiful as hell and more pretty than anyone else"? From an unbiased point of view, HC is as beautiful as any other character present in the novel. From Xie Lian's ( and my ) point of view : then YES he is, god darn it !, from "haters" point of view : he's an obnoxious, evil, one eyed a**hole.
- He is a static and underdeveloped character :
I wholeheartedly disagree, and no I am not talking as a fan here, but as a long time Danmei and yaoi reader. People compare TGCF's Hua cheng's character development with MDZS's Wei Ying and SVSSS's Liui Binghe, which in my opinion is not fair. Those are 3 completely different books: in SVSSS the story is told through Shen yuan's point of view, but the reason why LBG's character development is so heavily explained too, is because She Yuan's whole journey ( and life ) depends on it. In MDZS, the story again is told through WWX's point of view, the reason why we got to witness his rise, downfall, "humbling" arc, and finally his happy ending. However, in TGCF, the story is about Xie Lian's journey,and how he learned to love himself again , through the effort of a man who never had loved himself. We do get glimpses about HC's backstory, and arc, but MXTX doesn't go into details because it's not about Hua Cheng, and it's up to us readers to read between the lines. if you compare HC's arc, to any other character's arc, you'll find that Hua cheng's Arc was at its end, when the novel started, and other than dying, getting exposed or arrested, no other character, other than Xie Lian's, get any real development because again, it's not about them, and it never was.
- Always has the best sense of humor:
Again, the story is told through Xie Lian's point of view. The man has literally set his password to "Just recite the Ethics Sutra a thousand times" as a joke and found it extremely funny, so the bar here is really low.
- Can be obnoxious and get away with it :
Hua Cheng never gets away with anything, he is obnoxious to other people that aren't Xie Lian, that's true, but no one ever claimed that he was a good person. Hua cheng's whole existence is set around Xie Lian's, and yes he doesn't give a crap about anyone else because no one ever gave a crap about him too, other than Xie Lian who gave him a reason to live and saved his life twice, everyone else was just either bullying him, beating him or just straightforwardly mean. and to Claim that HC is just a bad guy is also false, he never harmed ( or harm ) innocents, he took Yin Yu under his wing ( a fallen God may i add ), he build up Ghost city with his own hands and gave ghosts a place where they can be themselves, he gave refuge to a ghost female who killed her r*pist, and the list goes on.
So no, Hua Cheng isn't your misunderstood 'bad boy' here, nor is he the shining white knight MC.
- Has an endless array of powers :
Man, I am seriously wondering if those people read the book ? the man literally dies at the end when he gave all his spiritual powers to Xie Lian, and don't get me started on him dying twice before. So no, he doesn't have an endless array of power, but he is powerful, the man is a ghost king after all, what did you expect ?!
- Tragic backstory :
this is very debatable in my opinion. everyone in TGCF has a tragic story in in it's own way : look at Jun wu, He Xuan, SQX and SWD, LW or the Rain master, heck even Qi Rong's backstory is tragic, and don't get me started on Xie lian's backstory. So yes, Hua Cheng's backstory is tragic, but isn't any more tragic than any other character.
- Was bullied as a child :
His bullying story is very relevant to why Hua Cheng had such a pessimistic, angry view of the world. I would've agreed that it's a little mary sue-ish, if he was described as this talented, beautiful, good child who's been bullied by the mean ugly people, but it wasn't the case. HC wasn't anything special, he come from a poor normal background, he was described, as being called ugly, and someone who brought evil fortune and bad luck.also Hua Cheng is heavily, heavily, heavily implied to be H'mong so he is ultimately ethnically marginalized,
impoverished child who, through sheer determination and wits, is able to rise above the position he was born in and create his own future, not because he was this Mary Sue character.
- Is always right :
again Hua Cheng wasn't born to be this very special, smart, talented person, but through his hard work, determination and tenacity was able to control his fate, and change it. It's true that he is very knowledgeable, but the man spent 800 years teaching himself the art of the sword and secrets of the universe. Why, you may ask ? Hua Cheng wanted to be the strongest, in order to protect Xie Lian ( and also avenge him ). What Hua Cheng has now, isn't something that fell into him from the sky, or was born with it, he worked very VERY VERY hard to get it.
- The Cave of Ten Thousand Gods comes off as creepy stalker and not romantic :
When Hua Cheng was in that cave for 10 years, his mind was filled with one thing : his God, Xie Lian. Why ? because Xie Lian is his motivation, his reason to live, and the reason why he is in that cave to begin with. The statues were never done out of malice, or bad intentions, it was done out of devotions and admirations. Just like a fan collecting merchandise and posters of their favourite artist. I personally don't find it creepy, but i believe it's due to cultural differences. so many words and instances in the book do not translate gracefully in English. Besides, the Story is heavily relying on Taoism as a concept. so i think it's unfair to apply western ideologies to a Chinese novel, based on Chinese folklore and ideologies, directed to a Chinese audience. The cultural aspect of the book must be kept in mind, in order to enjoy it.
