#and i feel like a clown for saying some niche character only people from tumblr dot com would know

Hi allow me to give another unhinged headcannon about pidw meta if it existed.

Ahem* if there were any gay✌ 'ships'✌ in the PIDW fandom they would be ugly bastard doujins in a similar vain of those few breath of the wild or SAO doujin ect where Bingge my boy gets topped among many other things (if you know you know) or people would 'ship' (saying ship feels wrong but it's the closest available word i have. the nature of fandoms for things like what PIDW would be irl doesn't really ship in the manner that tumblr users tend to think. It's more like they have abstracted an extra step away from the source material and the characters are exceedingly there to exist as dolls. We do this in our everyday fandom interacts but I notice in these spaces it never really feels like a connection to the character beyond vague surface traits and tends to focus more on physical body types and character archetypes. But with this in mind when it comes to shipping it means nobody is using Luo Binghe as a character just as a surrogate for themselves with the waifu they've chosen that week.) Mobei-Jun because he's the only actual male in the series with any credible screen time and even then it's like one of them gets turned into a girl or drawn overly feminine and girly because the primary straight cis male audience of a book like this isn't ready to ask that question about themselves yet. That or its futa stuff with a preestablished wife but there is a fair chance he's still topping.

Basically what I'm saying is if there are any Shen Qingqui and Bingge things that would exist they'd be like... Dead dove do not eat. Either some shen jiu shouting some phrases that only exist in hentai related to dicky wicky and being objects of sex (again if you know ya know). Or you may get the rarest of all a dark introspection sfw one that likely was written by one of the 2 existing hardcore female fans.

This my long winded way of saying while i enjoy the jokes in fanfic that Shen Yuan has read PIDW fanfic and knows there is BL shippers it would be even funnier for him to complain about the fact that anyone writes Bingge getting topped content at all (there is a favorite he's not admitting it). Or that people ship Mobei-Jun and Bingge. As that's ridiculous and doesn't make sense. They're just BROS bro. God don't make it gay.

Or, and I do think this is the funniest one, nobody is writing deep introspective fanfic or making comics about Bingge's emotional needs and is focused on the sex. Man is mad the mostly cis heterosexual (and probably incel laden) audience is too busy focused on the porn to think of the protagonists emotional needs. Or even just art of this broken man.

All of them losers focused solely on them tiddies while Shen Yuan is over here asking the real questions. The fanbase is busy making content meant to cater to their specific wants and fetishes with one guy in particular who just shows up all the time asking for such a niche thing. Enough that it's almost a meme. And they are all clowning on the guy who's claiming to hate the novel and asks them to take the book seriously.

also there is no way he would not review all of the fan content he stumbled on in great anti fashion. And getting a positive-ish comment from cucumber is actually considered by fandom a mark of shame. I just don't think the internet could resist clowning on this man further by not treating a cucumber approved work as a meme joke of shame.

Hi @levok! Rykter anon here (you can call me Shay!!) - this is gonna be long so i thought i would make a post instead of another ask! first let me say i am honestly a little starstruck that you answered my ask after following you for what feels like 10 years now. In the OG SKAM days, i was just one of the followers kinda watching your page from the sidelines and ghost-liking your posts. But in my eyes you really are just THE coolest niche internet fandom microcelebrity so this is huge for me lol. I’m honored to be the one to introduce you to the gem that is Rykter 🫡

I also binged the whole show after finding it a little over a week ago bc the short form episodes really did it for my ADHD brain. But when i finished it i RAN to the internet and was surprised when not that many people were talking about it!! Up until now i haven’t been the type of person to be the fandom historian OR better yet be this early to a fandom, but i knew i had to do justice for the other fans. so i recently started collecting S3 lore on reddit so it was all in one place. Again it’s only been a few days so i have a long way to go and i am learning new info by the minute. So if any @levok followers have contributions pls tap in and share them on any platform!! I am lurking on them all 🙃

As far as the lore goes, i will summarize some of the most key things for you (imo).

SPOILER WARNING for those others out there reading this: 

1. Lots of the cast members have been “leaking” S3 content/spoilers on their socials, mainly on tiktok in “day in the life” videos. Most notably in all this, many of the cast members (primarily the guys) have been very jokingly affectionate with one another i’m assuming to throw off us fans about ships and who will get together

2. There are several new characters next season, notable ones include Øyvind and Olivia. I don’t know a whole lot about them as of now, but Øyvind’s actor (Fredrik Johnsen) posted a tiktok that included a clip with a visible episode script. I translated it (badly, as norsk is not my first language and the clip is low quality) but one section seems to indicate Felix and the guys dump a bowl of ice cream on Olivia in the cafeteria and spray her with hand sanitizer at some point. So expect some kind of conflict between them in S3

3. Olivia and Mathias were in some pictures on the account of the person who plays Mathias’s mom on instagram. One appears to show Mathias and his mom hugging, leading some of us to think Olivia may have a role in Mathias’ coming out? Rykter’s Eskild basically. If not that then just a cool new friendship to explore!

4. Teo Tomczuk (Mathias) did an interview recently where he said that in S3 we can expect “a lot of love, broken hearts. Many try lots of new things and find out who they are. Mostly they get to know themselves. Will be a lot of identity stuff!”. So fingers crossed our faves figure their stuff out and all signs point to a very (hopefully) queer season!

I’m probably missing something important but everything i’ve come across so far is posted somewhere under the Rykter subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rykter/ i post from @ shannonxstardust. So feel free to join in my clowning over this series. And if i am ambitious enough one of these days, all of the lore will make its way to my tumblr despite me not being a proficient gif maker by any means. Anyway, love you @levok 😘 thx for the mention and happy 33 days until Rykter S3 :)

hi levok! i don’t know if you’ve hopped on the Rykter train yet, but it’s a niche norwegian teen drama with a gay storyline. i’m sending you this ask bc i feel like you of anyone would appreciate that i am full-on OG SKAM-level sleuthing for spoilers in the reddit thread ahead of the season 3 release. all the combing the cast’s socials and zooming in to translate a pixely photo of the script - it’s low key giving me brain rot but it also feels very nostalgic to 2015 times on SKAM tumblr!! anyway, i hope you’re having an amazing day and i’ll be here patiently waiting for august 19th premiere 🫶🏻🌈

Hi anon!

Ok so i decided to not answer your ask, before I went searching for this. Bc I was not aware of the existence of this series 👀 and behold, it turns out it was in danish stream all along.

So I gave it a go. 10 minutes episodes are right up my attention span alley! So I binged it all haha 😂 and I get your jam!! NRK just know their shit. That ending though??? Out of nowhere?? What is this??? Also I am invested in the Thea storyline. Why you giving me this when there’s still a month until season 3?? Hahah (no bless you - you’re too kind).

I need all the lore you are talking about. So pls come back and spill the tea. What do we know about season 3???

My day has been booked and busy to say the least 🎀
