Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

so do you remember how roier said he'll put on his red hoodie only if he ever feels happy again and now he is back to wearing full black but cellbit. cellbit has his red hoodie around his torso. so he is carrying roier's happiness with him.
#spiderbit#guapoduo#qsmp#qsmp roier#qsmp cellbit#SORRY WHAT IF I DIE.#CLAWING AT MY BRAINS#(also this is very paraphrased from roier but he did put his red hoodie on only with cellbit)

SPOILERS!!!! 3s THEORY
I'm actually very proud of this theory rn and feel like a hawthorne for thinking of this, like I might actually be on to something here
Ok so I had a thought and its stuck in my mind
So we all know that Odette said some vague and confusing thing about “ There are always three”
And I think I have a good theory as to what it means
That being, I think that this phrase is a play on or nod to some of these other common sayings about threes
“Everything comes in threes”
“Bad things come in three” /“Good things come in threes”
“Death comes in threes”
Or “Omne trium perfectum” which means “everything that comes in threes is perfect” in Latin
These are all common saying about things happening in threes or what threes means
And I specifically think that Odette meant something about good/bad or life/death events happening in 3s
Or even about beginning/ending events happening (bc we all know she knows about Alphas and Omegas beginning and end)
I think this BECAUSE if you look back at where Odette says this you'll see that she says this in RESPONSE to grayson saying “she DIED before I was BORN”
Grayson says his grandmother DIED BEFORE he was BORN and demands she EXPLAIN
He obv meant explain how is it possible for Alice to be the “A hawthorne did this” culprit but he doesnt specify explain what he just says explain and Odette probably choose to interpret that vaguely and gave an answer that “explains” or simplifies the reasons why Alice “died” and Graysons was “born” and says “there are always three”
Like she's saying “well everything comes in threes”/ “life and death happen in threes” that's the karmic reasoning why she “died” and you were born
And so obv Alices death and Grays birth are 2 life/death events and the third (or really FIRST) event would have been Tobys “death”
Which his death would also be the catalyst for both Alice’s death and Graysons birth
Bc Grayson would have never been born is Skye wasn't grieving her brother and although now we know Alice didnt die of grief id still say its safe to assume whatever happened was triggered by the loss of her son.
So the “thee” that Odette is referring to is Toby “died”, Alice “died”, Grayson is born
Everything comes in threes
But while I think this is what Odette meant when she choose to say this in response to Graysons demands for her to explain things I don't think that this is all that this phrase “There is always three” means, it has broader implications and could probably mean a lot of things
Its a vague and versatile phrase that Odette has heard many times, maybe as a warning. But there is definitely more to it, if I am right or heading in the right direction with my theory, then it could mean a lot of things and be important later on.
Also one last thing
I find it interesting how one of the common phrases “Omne trium perfectum” means everything that comes in threes is perfect and if my theory is correct then this would make GRAYSON one of the “things that comes in threes” and how in this phrase that would make him “perfect”
And we all know that he was the grandson who was GROOMED to be “perfect”
Could this be the reason that HE was “the chosen one”?
Was he the one Tobias choose bc he was part of the things that came in threes and has that karmical connection to Alice?
Idk but, its all very intriguing to me, and I can see so much potential and foreshadowing withing this little phrase that JLB very specifically used
#I could very much be wrong but#this is also a very common way that jlb writes her puzzles and riddles#like the phrase “there are always three” is another play on words but this time its to paraphrase a common saying to make it more allusive#and vague#its omnious but its also a response to something bc otherwise her saying that is just soooo random#it only works if the reason she said it is because she's responding to the life and deaths that occured in the Hawthorne family#its sort of like how jlb wrote A hawthorne did this and What begins a bet? not that and we all just assume one thing but don't see the other#implications#the inheritance games#grayson hawthorne#the grandest game#the hawthorne legacy#the final gambit#avery grambs#jameson hawthorne#nash hawthorne#xander hawthorne#the brothers hawthorne

Was explaining a bit of dan and phil lore to my parents and when I told them that Dan basically disappeared from YouTube for 5 years I had this interaction
My mum: so do they have real jobs? How did dan earn money during that time?
Me: well phil was still doing YouTube so it’s not like they both disappeared
My mum: yes but how did dan earn money?
Me: … they live together … they have a house together
My mum: oh!! Are they together? Are they a couple?
Me: 🧍
#I’m paraphrasing a bit from memory#also#ignoring the fact that Dan probably still had money coming in from old videos#and other things he did#it was a short chat#the way I held back from giving them a 3 hour long monologue#be proud of me#dan and phil#phan

the venn diagram of griddlehark and blupjeans traits is often a circle. Many are saying this
#paraphrased from a discord message i sent in a personal server:#what do you mean you’re a necromancer (or have necromantic experience)#that willingly erased your own memory (or did something that you knew would erase your memory) of your red (haired or wearing) wife#to exact a plan of some sort of utmost importance#left your semi/entirely amnesiac self a note (letters vs recording) to go by after removing your own memory#and the narrative of your story is similarly haunted by previously mentioned wife.#what the fuck is going on#also Ridiculously long slow burn but that’s neither here nor there#Is this making any sense. Hey. Is this thing on#the locked tomb#the adventure zone#taz#griddlehark#blupjeans#don’t take this too seriously because inactuality they’re not that similar it’s just that there’s a really funny overlap sometimes

love how the older skaters in the senior division give Yurio encouragement and that each time it pisses Yurio off. JJ is intentionally condescending so that makes sense, but with Viktor and Yuuri they're not even being condescending. Yurio's just dialed in on being a hater... and i love that for him <3
#'plot twist i LOBV you' -Yuuri#'i am going to skin you alive' -Yurio#yuri on ice#sometimes he is a teenager#he's got so much fury in his tiny body. and yet he is also just an earnest lad. i find him sooo funny silly#which he would hate me for!!#I recall a meta post about Otabek being the first one to verbally recognize how hard Yurio devotes himself to skate and I really dig that#like I think Yurio's frustration is justifiably rooted in how little others take him seriously despite his life-consuming dedication#I DO think he is over the top and i enjoy this; for it is entertaining.#but i also think his feelings are genuine and he is a complex little guy.#i'm thinking of him sharing his grandpa's food with Yuuri and being emotionally vulnerable with him at the waterfall#Yurio is a hater on his opponents (and Viktor) but I think on some level he recognizes the genuine care Yuuri+Viktor show him#I think Yurio doesn't understand how they can be encouraging to him while also taking him seriously#Cuz Yurio is so wary of his elders dismissing him#so older skaters being friendly translates in his head as 'they dont think i can beat them / they dont see me as an equal'#But I think when these relationships are removed from that competitive atmosphere Yurio DOES see how they care and he appreciates it.#It would be so sweet to see an older Yurio reflect on this time and realize that Viktor + Yuuri + others DID take him seriously#and just because they were fond of him it doesnt mean they didnt appreciate his talent.#tbh being a young athlete must be such a mindfuck and idk how these bitches do it. send tweet#yuri plisetsky#yoi meta#queue#my words#AWW right after writng this i watched the part where Yurio starts yelling encouragement to Yuuri#who internally tells himself 'i got more stamina than that fuckin Yurio mf' (paraphrasing lol)#they switched love languages <3 cheerleader & hater role reversal

That is, huh. A lot more of a thought out response then what I was going for lol. I was like “what little rat does that remind you of” “the dude spying in the castle just now” when I rhetorically said “what shadowpeach does that remind you of” and you debunked it 😭 but since we’re talking about this now
Wiki calls em “an interconnected, self-perpetuating cycle. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary and at the same time opposing forces that interact to form a dynamic system. Yin and yang transform each other: like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall.” Idk about you but with Mac getting chaos powers, I figured the show might take inspo from this, what with the cycles and all too. There might be an opposite “order” power in contrast to Nines. If Pandora’s box is literal, MK is “hope” there’s a lot of other symbolism fandom likes the stereotypically portray into their ShadowPeach lol. But they have day/night too. Nobody has to think too hard to take inspo, and most shows don’t in my experience. Shout out to Ninjago and ATLA just mixing culture and language in a way that annoys people and placing it under one umbrella.
well i mean, lmk is already playing with the themes of order and chaos. except there Order was on the side of the antagonists while MK was Chaos (being the harbinger and all). we saw it with LBD and Azure and now with Nines
also, lmk’s order can be seen when it talks about Fate and Destiny and even the “story”, but in a way where they are shown as being too fixed and bureaucratic compared to the lessons being taught to MK and by MK which are “your fate (order) is your own and can only be determined by you.”
we had it with MK telling LBD “do you really think the universe cares about any of us?”
we had it when Macky told MK “if you tread the paths already carved for you, then you doom yourself into a self-fulfilling prophecy”
we have it even more explicitly in s5 from Wukong: “sometimes you need to carve your own path and fuck all the rest”
lmk is all about finding that balance between the chaos of your mind and the forced order of the world around you. our own daily ying and yang that we must balance, and that is why i don't place those themes with shadowpeach just because it takes away from the crux of the show where it’s original focus is on MK and how he changes and grow throughout the seasons
tbh i think their day/night themes with ying/yang are significantly minor. the major focus with them is the themes of betrayal and reconciliation and past haunts
#btw the quotes are me paraphrasing. unfortunately swk did not say fuck#also sorry for talking your joke ask seriously it will probably happen again#also i know i prob say this a lot but jttw (the text that inspired the show) is a Buddhist allegory on how to balance your life [journey]#in order to reach Nirvana/the next life. in the story Tripitaka (aka Tang) does achieve his goal in delivering the scrolls & reaches godhoo#meanwhile Pigsy (Zhu Baije) does not because the pig demon held onto his vices throughout the journey (rip)#overall jttw has to do with tempering your mind will heart and desires in a way that balances you to some order in a chaotic world#lmk on the otherhand flips the script#the outside world is too orderly while our minds are too chaotic to the point that the world tries to force us to fit into its perfection#which (as the show shares) isn’t healthy#i’m getting a little too technical and showing the author’s hand rn because these are themes the writers make to their audience#who are supposed to be 10-13#and they are ppl who are quickly finding their own agency and new discoveries and it might not fit in with the world they’re used to#but yeah#sorry i think i derailed in the tags#lmk#lmk s5 spoilers#lmk s5#lmk spoilers#lmk analysis#asks

me @ me, standing in my empty kitchen: maybe, I don't know, maybe it is time to give up on the book. this particular book. the Miami set, indigenous mythology, Latino pride book. Most days I don't really want to write it, so how can I expect anyone to want to read it?
whatever Powers govern my life personally: bitch, again? you're doing this again? spotify, give this bitch a track.
spotify, on shuffle: [Con qué parte del cuerpo jugaban pelota lo indio taíno?]
me: oh COME ON.
whatever Powers govern my life personally: the lyrics literally say quiero quemar mi libreta. bitch.
#personal#translations:#with that part of the body did the Taíno Indians play ball?#and much later: I want to burn my notebook#(paraphrased--the full line is about wanting to be alone and then mentions burning the notebook) (notebook full of lyrics presumably)#honestly how many fucking chart topper tracks name drop the Taíno specifically. it CANNOT be that many.#“whatever powers” or presumably here specifically Maquetaurie Guayaba#and by “chart topper” I mean the Latin charts specifically but nonetheless.#also to be clear i HAVE WRITTEN this book I have written this book SEVERAL times now#we're at like final_final_noforreal_final.docx#or i mean we would be. if i was working on it. which i am not. because i am blogging.

Elder Scrolls 🤝 Homestuck 🤝 Snapewives
i have a connection to make here but im not telling you
#lucabytereads#lucabytetalks#ok yes i am telling you its that ppl treat the text as seperate from the authors not as reading but as denial of their autonomy of thought#the snapewives thing is just the most blatant expression of treating the author as merely conduit for some sort of like#somehow greater prexisistng world they are merely accidentally portraying in order to deny them control over their work#ie. everything bad in bethesda games/homestuck is on purpose and malicious from the devs/todd/hussie and everything good#is an accident they didnt know they were doing and shouldnt be attributed to them#the way ppl will treat bethesda games' environmental storytelling as if they are discovering something devs somehow did On Accident#that somehow belies a truth to a fictional world that They Themselves Weren't Aware Of Despite Making The Clues ???#not to say there can't be accidental themes because d'oy yeah of course. but this malice/ignorance binary i see as a lens is. hmm. well#theres something also here to people treating authors as villains that Trick You into Liking Something#<- literally paraphrasing things sam is saying rn lol#anyway this is a treatsies for my followers based on discussions @samhainian and i have not infrequently#get too rowdy in the notes and i will turn off rbs and such

Saadi tweeted in support of the FSA 🤦🏻♀️
Don't you remember what happened to your country? And what about Hannibal? Don't think the FSA will be any help there (and he was in the same room as the Assads as a child)
He's always been basically a law unto himself but either he's blinded by his hatred for Iran, or living under Erdogan has gotten to his head (also often threatening to sue people over tweets), complete with Elon Musk simping (like Erdogan)... and sometimes I do genuinely wonder if he's very mentally unwell* and it's not being treated, when it should be after all those horrific experiences, including prison experiences
* Then again, this was rumoured even before 2011
#when there were rumours just before the NYT article that Saif had visited Damascus#WTF SAADI#SAADI WTF#Saadi Gaddafi#Libya#Syria#Turkey#Turkiye#Türkiye#WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK SAADI#WHAT WOULD YOUR FATHER SAY?!#also when he even got butthurt at family spokesman Moussa Ibrahim... maybe he is unwell#or maybe he is bisexual and maybe growing up in Libya as a bi kid with a possibly closeted and maybe self-hating bi dad...#OK maybe that's going a bit far but#i'm just really dismayed and shocked by this#how did he go from posting the photo of him with Uncle Hafez as a child to THIS#your father's last speeches were on SYRIAN TELEVISION#sometimes i also wonder if he says shocking things just for clicks#Moussa Ibrahim posted a photo of Assad on his FB story on Eid al-Fitr this year#Saadi stop simping for Italian and American politicians i'm afraid those high society days are over#maybe therapy is needed for acceptance and moving on#also he probably needs to find his own thing like Aisha#especially now his book is finished#i might not bother buying it now#Moussa Ibrahim posted about Syria and let's just say it's very different from Saadi#he even paraphrased Assad in the last sentence - whether that was intentional...
