watching Jiang antis go, as a Scum Villain reader, never ceases to be kind of wild

[dvasva]

I feel like. Someone here forgot. That Xue Yang was not just calmly living peacefully with A-qing and xiao xingchen, he was also tricking xiao xingchen to murder innocent people in the guise of night hunting.

and besides that

1. idk what the produce vender thing is about at all on xue yangs side, ive never heard of it before nor have i heard anyone criticize xue yan for anything involving produce? wwx's only interaction with a produce seller if i recall was him trying and failing to barter for cheaper produce, which is fairly neutral.

2. hua cheng conceals his identity, but xie lian is extremely aware that he is hua cheng the whole time, and hua cheng is very aware that xie lian is aware. hes kinda just being playful. xue yang, in addition to that stuff i typed above, is specifically concealing his identity because he wants revenge and also cause he knows xxc will kill him if he knew he was xue yang. theres never a moment where xxc and xue yang are playfully aware that each other knows. two entirely different scenarios here. Also, xie lian doesnt have an y previous animosity towards hua cheng. xxc and xue yang have an adversarial past, and hua cheng and xie lians only previous meetings have been anything but. If hua cheng showed up as himself, xie lian would still have welcomed him, but if xue yang showed up as himself, xxc would not have accepted him.

3. someone in your notes mentioned this, and i can confirm this as a scum villain main, but binghe is a well known creep. thats a whole fandom joke. we call him a necrophiliac constantly. besides that, xiao xingchen killed himself specifically to get away from xue yang and because of the pain xue yang caused him. xxc loved song lan and wanted to do good and protect the common folk. Xue yang took both of those things away from him by making him murder innocents and song lan. sqq's immediate reaction to most situations is self destructing. he did it at oeast twice, and was prepared to do it when he was first poisoned by without a cure. he was very willing to die as an act of love towards binghe. binghe stealing his body and taking care of it is framed as really unhinged also, and everyone including sqq is really freaked out by it. I dont know if you know this, but luo binghe is one of the villains of svsss. hes literally the final boss. his actions arent meant to be wholesome and good.

like. no offense, because i simp shen jiu so i understand the desire to defend your poor little meow meow, but you dont have to wipe away a characters negative aspects to like them. you dont have to whitewash them into something good and pure and wholesome to be like 'yes, thats my favorite.' its ok to admit your fav is kinda fucked up and did really unambiguously bad things.

So let me get this straight… 

When Wei Wuxian intimidates a produce seller for a cheaper price is playful banter, but when Xue Yang does it is reprehensible threats to a honest merchant.

When Hua Cheng conceals his identity and helps his daozhang repair his roof is sweet attempt to get on his good graces, but when Xue Yang does it it’s predatory behaviour.

When Luo Binghe keeps his (as of then unrequited) crush’s body preserved to cuddle with while frantically searching for a way to revive him is a sign of devotion (if only a bit unhinged), but when Xue Yang does it is downright creepy. 

What am I missing.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be books, anime movies or tv series)? Thanks....

Hi there!! Ahhh, I’d love to talk about my top 10 blorbos :) I always change my mind when I make lists like these lol. Idk if I can rank them, but here’s my favorite characters in no particular order 😊

Wei Wuxian from Mo Dao Zu Shi. He’s my icon for a reason. Love the necromancer boy.

Killua Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter. It’s been years but I still adore the skater boy

Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. Best girl!!

Catra from She-ra & the Princesses of Power. The ultimate poor little meow meow <3

Lio Fotia from Promare. Pink flames and leather is a look!

Kagome Higurashi from Inuyasha. I was literally obsessed with her when I was a kid :)

Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto… He’s the guardian of my passport.

Jiang Cheng from Mo Dao Zu Shi. I was trying to add one per fandom, but I’m breaking that rule and adding the grape man.

Luo Binghe from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System. I really love the whole crybaby demon thing he’s got going on. (It hurts me not to add Shen Qingqiu (ಥ﹏ಥ) but he would be number 11)

Okay, I can rank one character. My absolute favorite fictional character. The most blorbo to ever blorbo.

Ash Lynx from Banana Fish. He stands in a league of his own. I have never wanted to pluck a character out of their own story more. Fic writers who give him healing and happy stories on ao3, I owe you my life (I watched this show every week when it was airing in 2018 and if you sort my bookmarks by fandom, even though I am a huge mxtx fan now, this one is still at the top.) Anyway, here comes the boy 🥺❤️

For the ask meme, scum villain? :D

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): It's Shen Jiu baby!!! I mean this answer isn't going to be quite "oops all Shen Jiu" but it was close

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): bb!Luo Binghe. He is a fluffy and confused child and I want to give him a kiss on the hidden demon mark.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): it's all @veilchenjaeger's fault pretty much that I've gotten deeply attached to Liu Mingyan in the last month or so. I would've said same for Sha Hualing but I already was fond of her, now I'm just more so. But Liu Mingyan, particularly Deeply Unhinged Liu Mingyan in the context of Mingling? can't believe I haven't been turning that like a rotisserie chicken for longer

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): like he's not obscure at all but I still just do find it very funny that my actual favorite character in this novel is very much Sir Technically Not Actually Appearing In This Novel Shen Jiu.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): everybody's favorite child abuser or whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Shen Jiu may have also been very plinko'd by canon but why not plinko him some more if you know what I mean

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): I mean, Huan Hua Palace Master, probably, but Luo Binghe got there first.

[agendratum]

For the ask game: svsss

important warning! i'm going into this with mostly just the knowledge of first volume/season, so i don't know a lot of things

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

shen qingqiu! listen, he's relatable, hilarious, meta, and also isn't he just the blorbo of all blorbos? he's literally among his blorbos and yet he keeps telling himself that they're just blorbos from his show novel but really they're blorbos from his life

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

little luo binghe :C my boy :C

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

so, i have no clue, who's appreciated enough, who's not. but i have a feeling that mu qingfang might be a decent character, who can go under the radar because of his, stay with me, donghua mustache

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

judging by how EXCITED i got when mobei-jun showed up for 3 seconds, for now, till i get to know more characters, he's the glup shitto

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

gotta be airplane-bro. i only had him for 10 pages, but he's great. he's exactly what i imagined him to be, i'm so happy about that. really pathetic

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

probably sqq, yeah. that's the whole point, right?

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

i don't yet acquired the character that i would want to send to superhell. but i think i know who canonically goes to eeby deeby in a very plot important scene, so important, that if this character didn't end up in eeby deeby, it would destroy everything. you know, that famous scene? when shen qingqiu kicks luo binghe down to eeby deeby? that one

[transcript: #I'm always like #why don't jiang antis just get into Scum Villain?? #the story you seem to want Wei Wuxian to be in #where he is a poor little cinderella so bullied and abused by the jiang sect #who resent his brilliance and work to undermine and suppress him #and whip him for no reason and force him to sleep under the docks #we already have this story! this is luo binghe's story!! #luo binghe is the poor little meow meow you want!! #the elaborate revenge fantasies I sometimes see jiang anti fics devolve into #are right there on the page in SV #well... I suppose that's not true. it's not in Scum Villain. #it's there in PIDW #which the entire point of Scum Villain as a story #is devoted to exploring why those fantasies are shallow and hollow #why even the abusive characters are never really that simple #and why the trope of the poor little cinderella rising into an unstoppable crushing power fantasy machine #is an empty story in the end #okay maybe I know why jiang antis do not get into scum villain #mxtx extended universe /End transcript.]
