₊˚ପ⊹ wc: 2.4k

 𓂃⊹ ִ��ָ

BBBF! Sugu who has known you forever as his best friend’s little sister - nothing more. He’s been aware of the special place in your heart for him for ages now. It wasn’t that he didn’t have one for you - his was just strictly platonic. 

BBBF! Sugu who treated you better than any boy when the two of you were in grade school. He walked with you in the lunch line, preferring to hold your tray for you. He lent you his jacket when you accidentally bled through your pants - promising he wouldn’t be upset if you stained it. He even punched a guy in his grade for making lewd comments about you - the suspension was no big deal. “He needed to be taught a lesson on respecting women,” he informed the principal. 

BBBF! Sugu who texted you every day when he went off to college, leaving you like a lamb thrown to the wolves. He listened to you rant about your school work and every minute detail of drama between your friend group. Instead of fully appreciating his kindness you often cursed him, blubbering over Facetime about why he had to be so attentive. If he didn't like you, he needs to ignore you! It was too much for your sore heart. 

BBBF! Sugu who set a boundary when he caught wind of you turning guys down for him. You were basically his little sister. Precious and fragile. He only ever wanted to protect you - but it was his job to protect you now from your delusional ideas. It was hard - but the remainder of High School you went without hearing from him. 

BBBF! Sugu who spends the summer of his senior year at his friend’s mansion. He forgot how lavish it was. The shower head hung from the ceiling, his guest bedroom fit a couch, and the outdoor pool must’ve been olympic size! He spent his days poolside with Gojo, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the cool mojitos that slid down his throat so effortlessly. 

BBBF! Sugu who chokes on one of his many mojitos seeing you in your little two piece. You just arrived back from your study abroad trip in Spain. Your skin was sun kissed and your hair was parted differently from what he remembered. That was among the respectful differences he noted about you… but the disrespectful ones? The ones that would have Satoru smacking him upside the head? Those were plentiful. Your plush breasts filled out your top, your pebbled buds visible through the thin material. And your ass? Your swim bottoms were swallowed whole by your plump cheeks. You grew into your form to say the least. 

BBBF! Sugu who after all these years still turns you down. The two of you are sitting by the firepit outside, waiting on Gojo to grab the graham crackers and marshmallows. Your voice is hardly above a whisper when you ask Geto if you were still just his best friend’s little sister - trying to play it off like a joke but you can’t hide the fat tears at the edge of your eyes when he promises that’s still all you’ll ever be.

BBBF! Sugu who maintains his composure even when you turn up the heat. He didn’t know it was possible for clothes to cover so little. How could they possibly try to sell that as a skirt? You probably weren’t helping the clothes look proper when you dropped your phone in front of him. He was sprawled lazily across the couch, manspreading while enjoying the movie playing on the big screen mounted on the wall when your phone slipped from your grasp. You were just checking if the two of them wanted any snacks for their movie when your small hands lost grip, bending down to pick it back up. You must’ve forgotten how to pick things up like a proper lady - you bent completely forward, feeling the cool air on your backside. Silly you! You stretched your arm, taking your time to check for any cracks before standing back up straight. Your phone survived the fall! Isn’t that great? Geto’s throat felt constricted as he hummed a response to you, “How fortunate.”

BBBF! Sugu who deserves an award for how good of a friend he is; Who else would turn down your advances time and time again? He looks at you deadset - your doe eyes unblinking and plump lips frowning, glossed over with a pink shimmer - as he tells you he won’t help you put away the laundry. Recalling the last time he agreed to fold your cute little panties and roll your ruffled lace socks you decided the shirt you were hanging up would look much better with your current shorts. You wasted no time plucking the shirt right off your body, exposing your bare chest to the raven haired man. He didn’t have the strength to look away and he would be cursing himself the rest of the day for allowing you to trick him.

BBBF! Sugu who doesn’t like the stupid fucking guy you brought over. He was handsy and unabashedly groping your ass while you straddled him on the couch. He was completely brazen to be doing this while Satoru was in the bathroom just down the hall - and entirely disrespectful to give your cheeks a firm SMACK! 

BBBF! Sugu who throws the guy out, dragging him through the house by his ear - Giving the back of his head a firm push out the door before slamming it on him. He turns to you, “If I ever see that asshole here again he won’t be able to walk himself out.”

BBBF! Sugu who is rocking his hips into yours as you helped him through his bad dream. You didn’t mean to join him in bed, you just heard his soft cries down the hall and came to comfort him. Your hand came down on his chest, trying to shake him awake but instead he pulled you down on top of him. You immediately felt his hard on pressed against your thigh, his hips rutting into you. You noted his face was free of tears - it wasn’t a bad dream at all. His words were slurred by sleep but his moans were incredibly clear. His breath was shaky and Gosh his dick felt big. Your mouth watered at the thought of seeing it in front of your eyes. “M’pretty lil lamb,” his sleeping form murmured. You understood that clear as day. You held your breath as you waited to hear more, “Feel s’good,” Lips forming an ‘o’ and cock twitching. You wanted him so bad, wanted to pull down his sweats and suck him off right then. Have his thick cock twitching in your wet mouth. You were drooling - but you knew better. He was asleep and he would be deeply disappointed waking up to your mouth. You hated the girl he was dreaming of. Why wouldn’t it ever be you? You stayed with him until his dick stopped twitching and his body calmed. Kissing his forehead before stumbling out of his quarters. 

BBBF! Sugu who woke up with wet briefs every morning. He felt like a hormonal teen all over again - cumming in his sleep over the lewd scenes that plagued his dreams. 

BBBF! Sugu who was a very, very bad friend. You were the subject of every one. His best friend’s little sister. He was a sick puppy.

BBBF! Sugu who didn’t understand why you were ignoring him. Was this your new strategy? Give enough spank material for a decade and then cut off all contact? Because, fuck, was it working.

BBBF! Sugu who couldn’t take it anymore! He stopped you at the door before you were able to leave to get a drink from your favorite cafe. “What happened?” his eyes intense as he asked you. You - who played dumb. “Don’t make me sound crazy, baby. I do something?” you shake your head and shrug your shoulders. “You don’t like me. Thought I would finally leave you alone,” you sounded defeated. That made him mad. This wasn’t you. 

BBBF! Sugu who wanted to punch himself seeing you cry. You couldn’t help pounding your fists into his chest and crying aloud at how this was all he ever wanted - You swallowing down your pathetic little crush on him no matter how much it hurt. How dare he act offended over something he nearly begged for. How dare he ignore you for three whole years - blocking your number. You were doing him a favor. The sound of the door you slammed in his face echoed through his skull. You were entirely right to be upset with him. He was a jerk. An asshole. Absolutely the worst. But at least he knew what he wanted now. 

BBBF! Sugu who didn’t have to try too hard to convince you to sneak around Satoru with him. You took him so good anytime that obnoxious white haired idiot wasn’t looking. In Suguru’s guest suite, the hot tub next to the pool, even the couch while the three of you watched a movie. Gojo snorted at the comedic scene, pointing at the tv and turning to look at you to see if you also found it funny. Your lips were tight as you feigned humor, trying not to make what was happening obvious. You were sitting in Geto’s lap, warming his cock during the movie. Neither of you had any idea why he just accepted the fact you were in his lap, with a blanket covering the two of you. Satoru wasn’t really known for being a critical thinker after all. The earlier experience in Suguru’s bed was accurate - his cock was massive. Your tight hole clenched around him, wanting so badly for him to move.  Even just a little! You wouldn’t be picky! Your slick coated his thighs, his girth making you impossibly wet. “I haven’t even moved yet, little lamb,” he teased in your ear, “S’wet.” 

The first time you saw it was in his room a day after your fight. A few words were exchanged, him admitting you were right. He was an asshole - but he wanted you now. 

“You’ll finally get exactly what you always wanted,” his eyes concentrated on yours. You were overcome by joy. Fighting every bone in your body telling you to jump up and down, to scream and cry out in celebration. Instead you put your mouth to good use, immediately falling to the floor and popping his dick in your mouth. You weren’t new to blowjobs or sex - you wanted to be prepared for when Geto finally caved. You wanted to impress him, to make him obsessed with how skilled your tongue was swirling around his cock. Impressed he was too, his head falling back and letting out a sweet groan. “Do I even want to know where you learned this from?”, he was devastated at your precision. How many undeserving losers did you practice on for your mouth to feel this good? Your tongue pressed flat against his vein, running it up the underside before kitten licking his tip. His pre cum was delicious, salty and bitter and perfect. “You really didn’t hesitate getting right into tasting me,” he chuckled to himself, obsessed with how you immediately began to suck his cock the moment he reciprocated feelings. “Did I make my lamb wait too long?”

BBBF! Sugu who pounds your pussy all throughout the night. He loves you in every position. He teases you in missionary, going impossibly slow and watching your eyebrows furrow as you beg him to pick up the speed. Your ass jiggles perfectly as you take backshots, your hair in his hand as he slaps his balls into your clit again and again. He loves the way you fold in half as he traps you in a mating press, listening to the sweet sounds of your sopping pussy taking his cock. It wasn’t long for you to be completely cock drunk. You would lose yourself the moment he fucked into you and would become incredibly lost the moment he pulled out. 

His favorite thing of all was lifting you up and down his cock, using you like a fleshlight. He was obsessed with how much bigger he was than you. How he was able to effortlessly glide you against his cock, his meaty hands holding you up by your thighs. Sometimes he forced you to watch in the full length mirror in the corner of his room, “Eyes open, beautiful. You don’t get to cum unless you’re watching it.” Some days he would take pity on you, it was so hard to keep your eyes open while he was sooooo deep in you. Your cunt was abused day in and day out by his cock bullied deep into you. “You take me s’good. Wan’ you to have my babies - fuck. Always look so good with my load dripping out of you,” his words were filthy and animalistic. “Gonna fill that tight pussy with my children, gon’ have you looking plump n cute,” it was all you ever wanted from him. He was the perfect gentleman, even now. You didn’t have to lift a finger with him around. You would do anything to keep him obsessed with you, even if that meant carrying every child he gave you by fucking deep inside of you. It wasn’t hard to accept when it felt so good feeling his hot cum coat your walls, him not letting up even when he finished cumming. “Gotta make sure you take it all. Have ‘ta fill you completely full. You can take a few more of my loads.” His loads were huge. He emptied enough into you each orgasm you would think it was the first time he ever came. 

BBBF! Sugu who made sure you were alright after every intense session. “I have to make sure I didn’t hurt my little lamb. If I did, I would be no better than the other wolves.”

The horror in Husky and his white cat shizun

One thing that strikes me as I re-read 2ha is that Meatbun is in my opinion incredibly skilled at writing horror. And i don't see much discussion about it except in a general hand wavy "it's dark" way. People tend to focus more on the "noncon" between Taxian-Jun and Chu Wanning than the other things.

There's so many things that didn't jump out to me as much during my first read but that are just glaring now. In my opinion it also makes the moments of happiness and the few truly good people stand out all the more.

As meatbun put it in chapter 68 : "it turned out that the most disgusting thing in this world was not ghosts or demons, but those cowardly, worthless beasts who wore human skins and hid in the crowd, willing to say and to do anything in the name of their own survival. At the end of everything, they would say, “I only wanted to live. I’m pitiful and powerless—I’ve done nothing wrong.”

This incredibly bleak world view that humanity is inherently selfish in Ehra makes a lot of sense when you realise it's a horror novel (among other things)

Examples under the cut, in no particular order

There's the psychological horror stuff that's linked to the whole flower business (mind control, mind rape etc.) Being forced to forget all happy memories while all the bad stuff is ramped up to eleven so you keep living in anger and pain wihtout any reprieve what's so ever.

There's the body horror of the Zhenlong Chess Formation which control corpses or dying people. Once the illusion is broken at Jinchen Lake, the bodies explode and taint the whole water red. There's the crucified members of the Feathered Tribe at the bottom of the Abyss also used for the Zhenlong Chess Formation and that's not even mentionning the bridge that allows the BBBF to go back to the Demon Realm (not going to go in details but let's just say it's an ENTIRE UNIVERSE worth of corpses)

From chapter 43 : "With the removal of the last rock, the illusion shattered. The fuban exploded, its blood diffusing into the water like the haze of fog. Near simultaneously, all the monsters and creatures in the market stiffened for a split second—before drooping bonelessly as their bodies festered, saturating the lake’s water with a miasma of blood.

The lake was dyed a red that rapidly deepened as more and more blood seeped into the water. First, things in the distance became hard to see, but soon, the immediate area was clouded over as well, and finally, scarlet filled their vision to the point that they could no longer even see their hands in front of their faces."

From chapter 76 : "Thousands of crosses stood at the bottom of the abyss. To every one was bound a member of the feathered tribe, entirely naked and drenched in blood. Within each of their mouths was stuffed a lingchi19 fruit, and these were what emitted that piercing red light. From above, the collective blaze of these thousands of fruits had easily been mistaken for flames burning deep within the abyss."

There's the existential horror that Hua Binan had Mo Ran almost kill EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the first timeline and basically wanted to do a bis repetita in the second one just so the BBBF could go back to the demon realm. Let's not even get in the whole Heavenly Rift stuff which is basically the fantasy equivalent of a hostile alien invasion where anyone could die at any moment if the rift is not sealed.

There's the horror of a mother forced to cannibalised her child while her husband is made to watch only to be later lynched by the very people he was trying to protect. Which speaking of this family! After being lynched, Chu Xun also digs out his now still heart so he can give his spiritual core to protect the survivors that stayed with him and tried to protect him. Keep in mind this whole tragedy wouldn't have happened without the selfishness of one single person.

From chapter 68 : "Chu Xun’s body slowly lifted its hand, which had not yet gone stiff, and under the control of his spell, it grasped the knife buried in his chest to pull it out. Then—

“Gongzi!” The people around him cried out with grief, their voices twisted and hoarse, soaked with tears. “Gongzi, what are you doing?!”

With his own hands, Chu Xun ripped open the gash in his chest, dug into his flesh, and grabbed his no-longer beating heart. Slowly, inch by inch, he tore it out.

[rmorde]

True. I guess it just struck me as really strange that Chu Fei lived for so long AND was able to pull what's like impossible feats (in his poor condition that is) to save another world.

I understand Taxian-jun was giving him spiritual energy. I just thought it was only the right amount to keep Chu Fei alive but incapable to do anything else. Hence, his absolute shock when Chu Fei showed up with Jiuge to stop his zombie army.

Taxian-jun did not expect for Chu Fei to still have enough power to do that. He, as a BBBF, unknowingly provided him the energy to pull that off.

Fridge Thought:

Maybe I'm wrong, but did Taxian-jun just "saved" Chu Fei (aka Chu Wanning 0.5) in another fucked up way besides taking the flower?

Chu Wanning isn't exactly human. He's basically Pinocchio. Once his core shattered, I imagined he should have died soon as implied by the flashback with his master when they separated

So... how come Chu Fei had lived for so long despite all the abuse imaginable he suffered through during Taxian-jun's reign? Not only that, he managed to summon his divine weapon TWICE to do something that requires a lot of spiritual energy (dimension travel, soul splitting, stopping zombie pupptes) before succumbing to death. How did Chu Fei manage to do all of those feats in his condition?

My only guess is because he was constantly forcefully "dual cultivated" by Taxian-jun who was actually a Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast. The sexual abuse inadvertedly strengthened Chu Fei long enough to help save another world.

It's so fucked up.

Hi. My question is in regards to 2ha. It's 2024 and we still have bad takes. However, one that annoys me the most is people saying that the flower twist happened to excuse mo ran's SA of chu wanning. What do you have to say about this? How can i frame my response in a way that'll shut these people up?

Hey, anon!

Unfortunately, you can't shut people up. People are going to have all kinds of takes and opinions and your best bet is not to get drawn into fandom wank.

With that said, I believe that the flower twist is very important for two reasons. The first reason is that the flower is not there to absolve Mo Ran, but to condemn Hua Binan. Some months ago, I not only didn't follow my own advice about not engaging in fandom wank, I also rolled about in it like a pig in a mire and in the process wrote a very angry rant because someone who had not even read the book was calling it dumb. In it, among other things, I said:

The message of 2ha is that violence breeds more violence and that suffering breeds more suffering. Monsters are created, not born, the world is cruel and unfair, and there is no justice, but no matter what was done to you, when you turn around and inflict that same violence onto others, you transform from a victim into the very monster that you hate. This is why Mo Ran, who was Shi Mei’s first victim, also being a BBBF is thematically so important. By doing what he did to Mo Ran, Shi Mei invalidated his own cause right from the very start. This is Meatbun’s explicit condemnation of Shi Mei’s spree of retribution and quest for power. 

Shi Mei—who was a member of a group of people who were dehumanised, genocided, brutalized and enslaved—proceeded to, for his own benefit, dehumanize, genocide, brutalize and enslave others. What’s worse, he did not turn against those who had wronged him (or at least not immediately), but against those who were weaker than him, unguarded against him, and who would have, if they had known of his bloodline, loved and protected him anyway. Mo Ran, whom he violated to such a horrific extent, turning out to be a BBBF himself is a narrative rebuke of Shi Mei’s actions distilled to its most concentrated form.

The flower is not there to excuse Mo Ran's SA of Chu Wanning, that is just complete nonsense. I feel like a lot of people get too invested in the idea of 2ha having a villain protagonist and cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that he was the victim. Accepting that feels like a loss to them, so it is easier to say that the twist is cheap and nonsensical than to change their perspective of Mo Ran as someone weak and controlled rather than as someone powerful and in control. Then, there is the other group which read "rape" in the trigger warnings list and skimmed through the book just to get on their high horse and flap their mouths about how superior they are for not letting the book trick them into excusing it. If that was the only thing one took away from this twist after all the important messages Meatbun conveyed with the fact that Mo Ran was also the victim here, then they have completely missed the point. People who are so bothered by the non-con to the extent that they are blinded to ANYTHING ELSE written in this book should not have read 2ha to begin with.

The second reason is that 2ha is beautifully composed. it is very cyclical, the plot starts out very vague and broad and then moves inwards, in concentric circles until we finally get to the core and there, we find that Chu Wanning was actually Mo Ran's first love, just like Mo Ran was his. It removes the taint of Mo Ran's idiotic obsession with Shi Mei from the start of the novel which was manufactured and fake. We finally get to see the full picture and that his true love for Chu Wanning was always there, fighting to break out all along, even when he couldn't consciously process it. In fact, that twist is hardly a twist at all once you know it, it is so logical, because even though we love to blame all the misunderstandings and miscommunications in the first half on Mo Ran being "dumb", it is obvious from the start that there is something wrong with his memory and his way of thinking. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

However, one of the most impressive things about this book is the balance and the symmetry between the two leads. One is demonic, the other is divine. One is an extrovert, the other is an introvert. One is neat, the other is messy. One can cook, the other cannot. But they are both powerful, they are both equally obsessed with each other, devoted, jealous and unhinged and as such, they must be equal in all things. Chu Wanning's suffering and sacrifice for Mo Ran were so great, Mo Ran's suffering and sacrifice had to correspond in both gravity and horror. This is where the flower comes in. Taking the flower is Mo Ran's sacrifice and existing as Taxian-jun is his suffering. Because, make no mistake, Mo Ran as Taxian-jun suffered beyond comprehension.

Anyway, if you go through my 2ha, 2ha meta, mo ran and taxian-jun tags I am sure you can find lots and lots of my thoughts on Taxian-jun, Mo Ran's true nature, the cursed flower and him turning out to be a demon in the end.

Anyway, I hope my answer helps! :)

[unforth]

How do you feel about Shi Mei and that he's a BBBBF? Do you agree that he never had any choice because he's from a minority race? So he had no option but to do the things that he did?

So I'm assuming you must be the same anon as yesterday because this ask is just as riddled with false assumption and lack of media literacy, with a bonus of racism.

How do I feel about Shi Mei being a Butterfly-Boned Beauty Feast? I think it's tragic. I think one of the key themes of the book is how insane it is that supposedly civilized people have normalized treating BBBFs this way and justify it because it increases their power.

For the second question, I agree to nothing of the sort, and your wording indicates you do think that or else how could I agree with you? But your wording is racist and disgusting and shows that you completely missed the entire point of 2ha. We see the stories of four BBBFs play out among the main characters and all four specifically and very intentionally are about choices.

1. Song Qiutong. All she had to do to have a good life in the second timeline is not lie about Ye Wangxi, but to protect herself she deliberately chooses harm and lies instead. Yes, Mo Ran pushed her, but when you consider how gentle his "push" was compared to the "pushes" given to the other BBBF, how unnecessary her choice was is only more clear. (To be clear, I still don't think Mo Ran should have done what he did, he made a bad choice regarding her, blinded by his own prejudice toward her, but again. Choices.)

2. Hua Binan (Shi Mei 0.5). Chooses his rage every time. He could have had a normal life in the lower cultivation world but his rage at the upper cultivation world is just too great, he can't let it go, he has to make it all burn, but he can't even take the burden of burning it on himself, no, in both timelines he feels the only way he can do it is through proxies, ones he forces to his will. (NOTE: I have only read post-official-English-releases once, almost 4 years ago, in mtl, so I don't recall details now, sorry. This applies to both Shi Meis)

3. Shi Mei (second timeline). I remember the least about him tbh but like, he just goes along with Hua Binan *despite having reservations.* How many different choices could he have made? Especially as he grew more uncomfortable with what Hua Binan does? And yet....

And finally, we reach

4. Mo Ran. Mo Ran's backstory is neither less tragic nor less horrific than Hua Binan's, but he is the child who still chooses to protect earthworms. He takes on the flower to protect Chu Wanning, and even as he's forced into being Hua Binan's proxy of destruction, he's torn to pieces inside. Even with hardly any choice left to him because he's being controlled, he still manages to choose to protect those he cares about in small ways - how else could Chu Wanning, Xue Meng, Mei Hanxue, survive so long in the 0.5 timeline? And in the second timeline, he chooses society and to protect the innocent and fight for his friends over and over again.

Shi Mei had those choices too. He could have behaved as Mo Ran did. And instead, he chose revenge and destruction.

Anon, you baffle me. Like.

@thegreymoon same weird anon you had, yes/no?

[talk-danmei-to-me]

ranwan mpreg in og timeline + kid and 100% of chu wanning's soul/memory go to new timeline + mo ran is revealed as a BBBF early

Hi, I don't write mpreg or kid fic and I've only read the official translations so I have no idea how the souls are working at this point. Apart from there's something up with Chu Wanning's. That being said, I appreciate the prompt and I have been wanting to write something auction themed about Mo Ran for the longest time so I went with a Mo Ran BBBF reveal. Enjoy!

***

‘Shizun, have you been to one of these before?’ Shi Mei asked, leaning over the railing of their booth to peek at the stage.

‘A couple. They’re vile things, attracting all manner of filth. But, they are a good place to learn information and secure valuable items related to cultivation. That is why Xue Zhengyong suggested you accompany me. This may be the most successful way of securing you a spiritual weapon.’

Shi Mei nodded. In a matter of minutes, the Xuanyuan Pavilion auction would begin. His shizun’s face remained an unreadable mask as he waited for the Second Pavilion Master to appear and launch into her familiar spiel. Suddenly the booths were cast into darkness and only the stage was alight. The drama of it all drew a gasp from Shi Mei but Chu Wanning remained unmoved, he took a perfunctory sip of his drink as the Second Pavilion Master of Xuanyuan Pavilion stood centre stage and introduced the first item, an overpriced love potion. Exactly the type of item he expected.

The auctions were not to his taste. They were far too boisterous and crass. Selling all manner of overpriced ridiculous trinkets and treasures. The only Chu Wanning agreed to attend was due to the hopes they might finally discover who the fake Gouchen was. Due to his cultivation methods, he needed as many followers and spiritual weapons as possible. Shi Mei might also benefit from the spiritual weapon for sale. Xue Zhengyong had said as much to Chu Wanning before he left. Shi Mei’s cultivation was low. Healing seemed the most appropriate pathway, but danger lurked everywhere. If his disciple was to protect himself properly, an orphaned spiritual weapon seemed most logical.

Following the love potion came potions that promised great riches through guaranteeing the drinker success in all they tried to achieve. Shi Mei turned to Chu Wanning a couple of times, though he never dared to speak or offer a single thought.

‘Are you well?’ Chu Wanning asked after a while.

‘Fine, shizun. It really is mesmerising the amounts people will pay.’

Chu Wanning unintentionally snorted. There was nothing at the Xuanyuan auction that surprised him. Instead, he was fortunate to maintain his knowledge of  could shock or surprise him. At least, that’s what he believed before the Second Pavilion Master announced the next item.

A Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast.

A Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast in itself was not so shocking to Chu Wanning, he’d lived a while and knew of their appeal to those within the cultivation world. What shocked Chu Wanning, and the disciple beside him, was the fact that this Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast was horribly familiar. After months of painful silence, Mo Ran had returned to their lives.

The day after Xue Meng caught him robbing a whore, Chu Wanning had been so overcome with disappointment and resentment, he’d beat Mo Ran with Tianwen so hard, he fled Sisheng Peak in a rage and sworn never to set foot their again. He never even left enough time for Chu Wanning to prepare the wontons that usually soothed his soul in such times of upset. Upon his return, Xue Zhengyong remained adamant his nephew would return and yet, his optimism went unrewarded for months. Now, Chu Wanning suspected he knew why. Mo Ran hadn’t returned home because he’d been captured. Yet Chu Wanning was confused. He’d seen Mo Ran cry and his cultivation had always been exceptional. Were the auctioneers lying? It didn’t make sense. He gripped his seat and tried to focus on the words spewing from the Second Pavilion Master’s dainty mouth.

‘A real treat, this one,’ she promised, ‘a confirmed Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast, with no giveaway features. We recommend keeping this one within your bedrooms.’ 

Chu Wanning sensed the reluctance in the room. No golden tears… What if Mo Ran was a dupe? But the cultivation world’s faith in Xuanyuan was resolute. After a few seconds of awkward whispers, the bets began to float down to the stage like rainfall after a drought. The Second Pavilion Master read each one out, her voice filled with glee as the number grew higher and higher. Chu Wanning felt more uncomfortable and unwell by the second. Bile rose in his throat. Xue Zhengyong would be beside himself if he knew the kind of horrors that were about to be inflicted upon his beloved nephew. Chu Wanning also couldn’t stand the thought of one of his disciples being treated so poorly. Shi Mei’s voice rang in his ears

‘We have to do something!’ He offered Chu Wanning the pouch of money that was supposed to be for his spiritual weapon.

Chu Wanning took it and scribbled his bet on a tab before sending it floating down to the stage.

‘Woah!’ the Second Pavilion Master exclaimed, ‘We have our highest bid of the night, forty million!’

‘There’s not forty million in the pouch…’ Shi Mei said, his features twisted with concern.

‘I didn’t just bet the pouch,’ Chu Wanning said.  

He felt sick. He’d offered all of Sisheng Peak’s wealth to secure Mo Ran’s freedom. There was nothing else he could do. If someone else bid even 1 coin higher, Mo Ran would be lost to them forever, never to reconcile with his uncle and cousin.

‘Do you have any more money?’

Shi Mei shook his head, his gaze fixed on Mo Ran’s form, his youthful body draped in sheer fabric strapped to a bed on the stage. They truly had presented him as someone who was ready to be devoured. Somehow, Chu Wanning was unable to picture it, no matter how hard he tried.

Silence filled the pavilion and in as dramatic a fashion as she could manage, the Second Pavilion Master announced that the Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast had been purchased by Sisheng Peak.

That night, with the few coins they’d managed to preserve, Chu Wanning purchased two rooms at an inn so they could rest well before the return to Sisheng Peak. He told Shi Mei he would share his room with Mo Ran in case anyone came looking to steal him. Shi Mei seemed pleased Mo Ran’s safety had not become his responsibility and disappeared into his room with a faint smile. Inside his own room, Chu Wanning was at a loss of what to say to his disciple who he’d recently purchased.

‘Do you require a bath, or some food?’ he offered, completely out of his depth.

Mo Ran’s handsome features distorted into a wild expression and he sneered at Chu Wanning as he knelt on the bed, ‘Aren’t you going to fuck me, Shizun? It’s what you paid for isn’t it?’

Such crass words were enough to make Chu Wanning’s face burn. He wasn’t equipped for this, ‘I bought you so you could come home.’

‘Where’s that?’ Mo Ran asked, his tone bitter.

‘Sisheng Peak. Your uncle has been beside himself since your disappearance.’

‘Well, I’ve not been having the best time either.’

Mo Ran moved around the room as though in search of something, ‘Remember the last thing I said to you, Shizun?’

Chu Wanning shook his head, though the words were etched into his memory, he watched his disciple embody a trapped tiger.

‘I told you I’d fuck you to death.’ Mo Ran burst out laughing, ‘Could you imagine? If I’d actually done it? I’d actually have made you stronger. What a joke!’

Chu Wanning couldn’t listen to anymore, ‘Enough, Mo Weiyu. Tomorrow, we will return to Sisheng Peak. Once you have safely to your uncle, you need not suffer me any longer.’

‘Are you leaving?’ Mo Ran asked, frowning slightly.

‘I was thinking of resigning as your shizun. Unless you would prefer I was gone from your life completely.’  

‘I-’ Mo Ran faltered, ‘Well, you did rescue me, which I appreciate. I guess it’s okay if you remain my shizun too. Apparently I still have a lot to learn about the ways of the world.’

I just finished yuwu volume 4 and while some of my questions were answered, I have many more (below cut)

1. My theory that the emperor and gu mang had a secret plan was confirmed, and that the guy in the mask from the time mirror was a noble (the emperor himself!)

2. After having read and reread erha and having to count the amount of times chu wanning was compared to wood or a tree, I cannot ignore the fact that gu mang was compared to a chess piece at least twice in this volume. At the end, Jiang Full is perplexed by his resolve and says "I can't imagine what kind of mental willpower he must possess to make him so indestructible". What if it isn't his own willpower, but a chess piece's will? I feel like a chess piece would have been found out by now if this were the case, but I'm keeping it on my radar.

3. SOMEBODY HAS TO BE A BBBF. I dont know who but ik its gotta be someone.

Unfortunately I have accidentally spoiled myself but not in any detail, so I have my suspicions about who else has the petal mark on gu mang's arm. I know some things abt jiang yexue but without context, so all I cant say about that is that I'm watching him very closely.

For lovely Anon! 💚

First, sorry this took me longer, but I couldn't contain myself again and went overboard. The relationship HCs are a bit random since there are so so many to talk about D:

Anywayyy here we go! (It is the middle of the night, I am tired and if I were to proofread it would take me so much longer so: warning for errors)

Infos about the Three One Shots, Relationship HCs and Extra of Big Bug Boyfriend One Shot 2

Infos

The three One Shots were inspired by me simping with mutuals and writing:

Getting licked by big bug Mam affectionately

Getting licked by big bug Mam frighteningly

Getting licked by big bug Mam lewdly

Since it still takes some time (Ahhhh wayyy tooo muuuch) to write Mammon in his monster form in Finders Keepers, I decided to write these three little unrelated One Shots with a gender-neutral reader. At first I wanted to make em afab!reader/Mammon, but thought it´s totally possible to write them gender-neutral so everyone not into fem!reader can enjoy some Mam content too.

The three OS can be seen as having the same reader or being unrelated. I didn't have any specific background story in mind, so people can insert their own characters better. :3

(It does have potential to become a more lose less plot intense Fanfic, but I am kinda tied to the two Mammon fic, future two Mammon fics, and my stories from other fandoms.)

................................................................................................

My HCs about Mammon x Reader (very much the same as FK, but the plot influences the dynamic pretty much, so it takes very long to get to a relationship basis. Tbh it really depends on the backstory of Mammon and Reader, but for BBBf I have chosen a healthy basis.)

Mammon is Aro Ace. Yep! The big spooder boy doesn't crave any romantic bonds nor does he need sex. Mammon likes sex for fun but could go without it for centuries if he is really invested in another project. (Like him inventing the concept of casinos had him hooked for centuries that sex was the last thing on his mind)

So when reader/you came along and at one point fell for you he was more than overwhelmed on what to do. Every approach and interaction would either be kinda out of instinct OR motivated by his Greed to get you to be his.

(Remember: Aro and Ace are a spectrum. It doesn't mean peeps can't have relationships or don´t want sex!)

- Dating Mammon:

It can be either heaven or hell. Depending on how you two get together! If he gets attached to you, he´d become very clingy, show off and you better say goodbye to your personal space. Honestly, he doesn't even realize he is overstepping all the time. He rarely questions why he wants something or why he wants to hold you all the time or fidget with parts of your body with his four greedy hands. Mammon is a ruler of hell, so he doesn't give a shit how people perceive him. As long as it does not impact sales, he couldn't care less.

As long as he doesn't recognize these aching feelings as having a crush on you, he'd never initiate anything similar to dating behavior. The big spooder man would do anything to keep you close, keep others off you, and just follow what his heart tells him to do to keep on having these fluffy feelings in his chest. Maybe you´d have to help him connect the dots.

Mam is not that dumb but misses many things cause his brain is solely focused on chasing the high of his Sin. It is like an addiction. Basically, as soon as he catches feelings for you, his Greed would also get involved and get more intense (worse) over time.

With or without your help, as soon as he is aware that he is infected with what people call “love” he´d start trying to impress you… with his influence, he can create various situations to get you into a “romantic” setting. (whatever he sees as romantic)

Mammon´s love language/ How he shows affection:

Possessiveness. Yes, you read right. Possessing things is the best feeling in the world for him. So getting you into his web would be his number one priority. Doesn't sound very loving or safe, cause it isn't. Greed is a Sin and it WILL influence your relationship. It's destructive. He hates to share you and wants all of you for himself. Depending on how well you are able to maneuver through his manipulation tactics and if you are headstrong as a person, the basis for your relationship would be either your demise or actually have somewhat healthy potential. He'd actually be absolutely excited if you showed you like being his and also the other way around! While he looks like the biggest dom, he´d be down on his knees if you call him yours, give him pet names, and call him your big sweet bug. At some point you could even get him a collar with the words: “Y/N´s property” and he´d not take it off and wear it 24/7 under his Jester suit. You “owning” him is the biggest declaration of love you could make.

Mammon would shower you with gifts as soon as he sees you as his. Owning you means being a part of him, so he´d try and make you happy with getting what you desire. While he´d be a major dick and has no sense of being polite, because he doesn't care about anyone but himself, you could still teach him some manners and social conscience. Good luck though, you will need it.

Breaking up with Mammon or Running away

Lol, we saw how that one would go down. He'd basically hunt you down! In the second one shot you fled, because you thought he was about to kill you off for burning tons of his cash by accident. In this case, he thought you got abducted! He mobilized Greed's whole Mafia to track you down.

If you were to run away since you realized you were indeed not fit to be Greed´s s.o. , he´d be more than desperate to chase you through all of hell to get you back. His actions would range between pleading for you to come back to him cause he can't be without you and going full-on yandere for you. Depending on how toxic you like your Mammon he´d even trap you inside his castle and keep you as a pet, cause he simply could not let you go.

IF you broke up with him he´d be more than salty about it. He´d go through the FOUR STAGES OF GREED: denial, anger, bargaining, depression. Acceptance will never come. XD He will be stuck in an endless cycle of these four stages. The worst ex you can imagine. If it weren't hell, I'd advise you to go into a monastery, since he won´t let anyone else have you. If he was mad at you too when you broke up, it would be a lot easier though. Still, having a Deadly Sin as an ex is still the worst jackpot you could hit.

Healthy relationship HCs:

You'd be in good hands when it comes to health, food, and living conditions. He'd make sure that you get anything you´d desire. What´s the advantage of having THE clown as a bf? HAVING A CLOWN AS A BF. He´d be silly for you. He might not perform anymore, but holy guacamole… if you adore/enjoy his silly little acts, he´d do them just for you. Making you smile would be all the motivation he needs to get up and running for you. Since he is not the best when it comes to talking about emotions(he is outright terrible when it comes to love), he'd try to cheer you up with jokes and smashing pie in his own face. JUST LAUGH AGAIN, PLEEAASEEEE. He hates to see you cry!

He is a silly big spider. Fooling around like in the first chapter is adorable. He might not shower you with sweet words, but he would do these silly little acts to show his absolute devotion. (It makes you laugh so he sees that as an absolute win.)

Touched starved 24/7. His hands are always on you. Never letting you go. He´d be an absolute cuddle bug. Even if you were busy, he'd follow you around like a Pokemon. If you had to do paperwork, he´d even offer you to sit on his lap or between his legs (not like that you pervert) and let you use his luxurious office desk as long as he is allowed to wrap his arms around you, play with his phone and yap about everything and nothing.

The major pro about him being clingy: HE WILL MASSAGE YOU. That man knows how to stroke each muscle to make people comfortable! (Totally not a manipulation technique.) Since his hands are on you all the time and need constant stimulation or else he will explode into confetti, he will randomly start to massage you. Just like that. You will melt into his soft side by his sweet and tender touch.

Okay I think that is enough for now. 😀

Now to the BBBf chap 2 ending:

You needed some time to recover from this horrid week. Mammon would not leave your side. You disappearing without a trace unlocked new fears he didn't even know his heart could feel. Imagine…for hours he was digging through the ruins and with every dead body he and the staff found his heart stopped thinking it could be you. He went crazy. Not prepared to lose what he grew so fond of. You were the first he let get so close to him. Let him discover new feelings that were so alien at first, only to have your sweet little self ripped away from him. The mental image of you suffering a horrible death made him go nuts. He had seen and was also responsible for the death of many hellborn. Mammon couldn't bear the thought of finding your body twisted and crushed between the thick rubble. You, on the other hand, had interpreted his desperate screams as him trying to find and end you. It would take you both MONTHS to recover from this. Mammon is being extra careful and you are so deeply grateful for him loving you so much at this point. You often questioned if you weren't just a plaything for him, but that event had taught you otherwise. In hindsight, you felt absolutely horrible for thinking so badly about him. With his whole focus on you, Mammon would absolutely sense that something is off. (He IS able to read people like an open book as long as his focus is truly on it.) However, you refused to tell him. Mammon would think he´d either done something wrong or that you still suffered from the trauma these goons inflicted on you. At one point he´d blame himself, thinking you didn't feel safe around him anymore since he failed to protect you. You got abducted ON HIS PROPERTY. IN HIS RING. Silly spooder thought he broke the fragile trust you had built up. A Deadly Sin, one of THE most powerful creatures in hell, unable to protect their lover… He´d apologize to you, go down on his knees. In his big form he´d cover before you like a remorseful dog, laying on the ground flat. Congrats, he´d even start to whine and whistle. He couldn't protect what was his. The one demon known for defending what was his failed so miserably and he can never make up for it. So at one point, you had to tell him, to end both of your suffering. While Mammon was relieved to hear you were in no danger at any time (except the explosion) he would be devastated about the real reason.

He did not break your trust, but you were running away from him because you were afraid of him? Wait… THAT WAS WORSE?! You seriously thought he would kill you! THIS WAS HORRIBLE. He would just stare at you, making you nervous since you had no idea how he was going to react. Would he get mad? Would he throw you out since you lied to him and caused all this mess and put him through so much in the first place? At the same time, you could smack yourself for taking the very same mental path that had led you into this mess in the first place!

Mammon would just remain unmoving. Images flashed through his mind. When he arrived at that rundown ghetto. When he saw you running away from him. How you fled from him, screaming. You never were in some kind of primal survival mode… all this time you were running from him! Covering on the floor, fearing for your life. When he picked you up, you were thrashing around, begging for him to spare you. Never once had you lost your mind, you firmly believed he was there to hurt you. THERE WAS NO TRUST TO BEGIN WITH. It would take Mammon so long to mentally digest that he started to dissociate a little. He somehow had lost you that day... but not in the way he had thought. You see him as a danger… although you two shared so many tender moments together. HE NEVER HAD DONE THAT WITH ANYBODY. Yeah, to you it wasn't much, but to him, this was a big deal! So you had no idea what him doing all those tiny things for you actually meant? What a big deal was that MAMMON was down on his knees for a hellborn? Sharing a bed repeatedly?? Allowing SOMEONE to come close to him. Physically and emotionally. If the other sins saw any of it, they wouldn't believe their eyes. When he got up, turned around, and left with the words “Gimme a minute” you knew how bad it was. Nobody managed to turn the energetic Mammon speechless… him showing no emotions was scary.

Good news: after another talk, you could assure him, you were feeling inferior to him before the event already. Tried to tell him that the enormous gap between status and power had taught you to feel like vermin around a royal. Mammon was not dumb. He was absolutely aware of the harsh hierarchy in hell, but somehow “forgot” about it when it came to you. Not your and his fault then. Couldn't blame you, since he would totally crush any hellborn´s head if they were to displease him in terms of his royal title. Yeah… may he have done that in front of you too…FUCK.

However, the two of you were able to sort it out. The big guy would even make sure to respect your boundaries more. That shit freaked you out. Mammon and not constantly overstepping??! HELP, he is malfunctioning! If he continues, he´ll probably poof into confetti and respawn in his default mode from thousands of years ago!

But psssst! Mammon only causes new fears: “Y/N would run away and leave me when scared” and “As long as they think I am a danger to them, they will never love me and therefore I can never HAVE them.”

If you start becoming more comfortable in showing affection, he´d start being a cheeky bastard again. Don´t worry.

Okay, I have too many open WIPs but why did my brain come up with this masterpiece when you said you liked Tamaki:

You and me, sitting cozy at the coffeeshop when you notice Tamaki looking over. He's too shy to approach you, you're too shy to approach him, but fear not, Dira's here. Only I approach his table only to fall head over heels for his beefy blond best friend (his bbbf) who turns me into a stuttering, flustered mess with his smile. So what do I do? Because I'm start, I'm talking to Tamaki, who leaves me cool as a cucumber (not really, but for the sake of the story it's this way) and invite them to our table. Mirio urges Tamaki to agree because he wants the best for his buddy. But, oh no, Mirio thinks I'm into Tamaki. So he talks to you when they walk over. And you're able to talk calmly to Mirio because you've got an eye for Tamaki... now... how will we solve this mess?????

HEBVEHJBFJBS this is really good. well not for us but the idea is fantastic and fun. realistically i don't think i have the courage to pull mirio aside to be like Hey. Switchsies? so i'd try to find an opening where i could turn my attention to tamaki and mirio to u... like a. "Oh Dira's a big fan of that!" ... or "tamaki, what about u? do u have any recommendations for me?" kind of thing... and then just keep looking at mirio w pleading eyes (tamaki cannot make eye contact with me) until it clicks in his head. he's a smart guy i'm sure he'll get my telepathic messages.

and thEN he's also helping me and tamaki talk While being enamoured by U and BOOM.... life's beautiful.

Sorry if this is kind of an odd question but, as you’re the person who truly made me understand BBBF!Mo Ran, do you have any examples of foreshadowing or stuff about Nangong!Mo Ran? Because I’m sure it exists (Meatbun’s too good a writer for it to not exist), I just can’t remember any of it.

Hey, nonny!

That one was a big twist that had a lot less foreshadowing than the flower curse and Mo Ran being a BBBF, primarily because this was something that Mo Ran knew and was in control of, so he took care not to reveal it because he was invested in keeping that secret out of a sense of self-preservation.

But of course there is still foreshadowing, it is just vague and I did not pick up on it until I reread, knowing all the spoilers. The biggest thing is razing all the cities of the Rufeng Sect to the ground. This vendetta was personal. If we look at how he treated other cities he conquered, we do not see him burning and killing senselessly, regardless of what he may want us to think with his unreliable narration. All the people on Sisheng Peak were dealt a chess piece and turned into the heavenly bridge and the sect itself became his new palace. Even Jiang Xi was first offered the chance to cooperate and only killed after he refused. The same goes for all the other sects he fought, the people were used for the bridge and everything else was repurposed and reused, except for the Rufeng Sect, which was a bloodbath, where he actually killed everyone and burned the city. Rufeng Sect was razed to the ground. It was the same kind of systematic rage and destruction he inflicted on the people in the brothel because they had wronged him so deeply and his hatred of them was so personal. We don't necessarily pick up on it on the first read because we are so invested in the idea of TXJ killing "senselessly" when it was not nearly as senseless as the first books make it out to be, plus we additionally think that his vengeance was because of his poverty and his mother dying of hunger there, which, true, it was, but that was not the whole story. Mo Ran wasn't taking revenge against a famine and society in general, but against a particular group of people who had wronged him personally.

There was also this part in the book that is, I think, in book 5 of the 7S translation (I'm not sure because I haven't read the new book 5 yet, it could be later) where Mo Ran talks about how much he hated one man in particular in the Rufeng Sect and whom he had tortured to death in the previous life. In this life, he was careful not to go anywhere near him because he was not sure he could control himself and not kill him again. At the time, he does not say who this person is. It is only later, knowing his backstory, that we put together that this man whom he hated more than any other was his father.

I am sure that there are other things there too, but these are the two big ones that immediately come to mind.

I hope that helps! :)
