Time to over-analyze things with limited canonical information just because. Here are some of the reasons why Qing Jing may have been a hindrance to Shen Jiu's emotional development and solidified his corruption arc>>

Qing Jing was like the perfect peak to let all his mental wounds fester if you think about it.

Shen Jiu acting like nobility or an educated young master (as most disciples of Qing Jing are) is purely a coping mechanism. It literally screams masking! While the exact circumstances of how he got chosen for Qing Jing is unknown, we can assume he didn't have a choice since most disciples typically just follow their new master to wherever they take them from the selection grounds (with the exception of Bai Zhan lol). He was most likely hoisted onto the Qing Jing peak lord, as no master would've wanted him because of his fucked up meridians and late age. They acquiesced to take him anyway coz of Yue Qingyuan's/the sect leader's insistance. And because it's Shen Jiu, he would naturally do whatever it took to get to the top, and if he started acting like the very sort of people he hates, then so be it.

You can imagine how disastrous imitating his abusers is going to be (he's imitating noblemen in general, but he's definitely taking the Qiu's as a primary example). Shen Jiu clearly is trying to remove and forget everything about his past, and even accepts the rumours of him being a spoiled young master to cast away suspicion. He is coping hard. Not to mention, he was named QingQIU when he became Qing Jing's succeeding disciple. Listen I don't care if it was a bad coincidence or not but that doesn't endear me to Shen Jiu's shizun in the slightest (I'm only talking abt SJ's shizun in canon, not fics, the fics are great. But it's more than likely that SJ's shizun was negligent or abusive as well. Here's why I think that). Between all of this, there's no way he's processing any of that trauma when he's constantly forced to remember all of it. No wonder he slipped into the abuser role easily since he's literally out here actually being made to copy their behavior.

Qing Jing and even the rest of Cang Qiong were always hostile to Shen Jiu, even in his discipleship. These ppl went out of their way to run interventions on Shen Jiu when he's minding his own business. Yes I'm talking abt the whole brothel thing. There were doubtlessly so many disciples who went for the very reasons Shen Jiu was assumed of going for, so why is he the only one getting shit for it? Not only was going to brothels not even a crime worthy of conviction, it was even normalized to an extent. And it would've been so easy to figure out if he really was going for anything "lecherous" by just asking the women there. The fact that, that whole ordeal was never cleared up just shows they didn't actually care about the women or what he was supposedly doing to them. They only cared because it was Shen Jiu who was involved.

Shen Jiu being on any other peak would change things for sure even if it's marginally. Its probably just wistful thinking, but I know at least half of those peaks, even the fanon ones, would be better than Qing Jing at any rate. Again, Shen Jiu would claw his way up and try to succeed any way he can, so if he were put on another peak that would be a somewhat healthy environment for him, he would do well, regardless of the peak. Him doing well on Qing Jing doesn't mean anything other than showing off his awesome(horrible and problematic) coping skills. So really, I can't help but think Qing Jing wasn't a good fit for him, especially with Shen Jiu's specific brand of trauma.

I did a pole once asking if Shen Jiu would've done better on another peak, or if they were just curious to see him anywhere else, and I'm not surprised that the most voted for peak was Yin Hui, the fanon peak for espionage and assassins. Now I'm going to go another tangent why Yin Hui would be good for him later.

i need someone clingy in my life.

it’s cold at night and the loneliness is hitting me at full force. i can only have so many pillows and blankets on my bed.

[heyyallitssatan]

Bruce and all of his kids, are full of scar tissue and mended bones

Every single one of them can count on two hands or less how many bones they haven’t broken, and they can count on even less how many joints they have dislocated, and don’t even get me started on sprains

Point is, the Batfam haven’t exactly taken a lot of care with their very fragile human bodies over the years of vigilantism

You know what makes old scars burn and old breaks ache, and what makes every sprained stretched muscle tight

The cold

So Bruce, and all of his kids legal and not, fucking hate winter, they hate the cold, because it makes everything tighter, every warm up take a little longer, everything hurt just a little more

Of course you wouldn’t know it, with Dick striking poses that would make professional contortionists cry, or Cass landing perfect flip kicks, or Steph and duke giving each other massages, or Damian doing yoga, or Jason hitting pads with Bruce, or even Tim running through a cardio workout that puts the JL to shame

They would never show that pain, that weakness, to anyone else, because some villains would target those potential pain points if they ever saw even a hint of them, but more than that, because they have to be strong, for their teams, for each other, for the entire world

So you may never know that Dick spent an hour stretching out his left shoulder this morning, the first dislocation he ever go on patrol

Or that Cass is practicing flip kicks because he knees are killing her but she needs to know that they won’t be a hindrance

Or that Steph and Duke are giving each other pre workout massages because they’re covered in knots that make moving hard

Or that Damian is doing yoga because it helps with the imagined cold and real pain from having metal in your spine

Or that Jason’s broken fists sting with each hit

Or that Bruce is wearing a back brace today because his broken spine was killing him this morning

Or that Tim is doing cardio because the cold makes breathing a little harder so he has to be prepared

You’ll never know how much pain they’re in, not in the field when they broke their ribs and are coughing up blood, certainly not when they’re training the pain of the cold away

Because that’s what they do, they keep training, until it doesn’t hurt, or until they know for a fact that it doesn’t matter if it does

The Bats hate the cold, but they’ll be damned if they ever let it stop them

@bigboobyhalo Your sacrifices have been accepted by the great Dapper. I'm so sorry but I don't think you'll be getting them back anytime soon. Or ever.

When you see those little choice vids that ask, "Which court would you live in?" And then a bunch of people instantly say the NC. Babe, sorry to tell you, but you may not qualify for Velaris. You just have to vibe in Illyria with clipped wings or the CoN stuck in a loveless, abusive marriage, hoping your father doesn't hammer nails in your stomach while your HL displays little care to enforce new laws.

A has a cold and is sitting in bed, propped up against a mountain of pillows, and all bundled up, wearing an intricately layered outfit of pajamas, cardigan, and scarf.

Their nose is bright red and shiny, quivering every ten seconds with a torturously ticklish sneeze.

They want to make the most of their confinement and are trying to read that book that's been on their shelf forever, buy they can't read more than two paragraphs before their vision becomes hazy, eyes swimming with the urgent need to sneeze.

Bonus points if their SO is watching from the doorframe.

I have two fic's i'm working on right now so y'all can have a sneaky peak at both.

Warrior and the Lasat Ch 4

‘Zeb you need to do something about your Imperial,’ Kanan muttered as Zeb came back inside. ‘Look if this is about Hondo-’ ‘No what happened to… you know what never mind, just pick me up and take me to the library. It’ll be easier if I just show you.’

And under the cut a line from spicey lil one shot I've been working on about Kallus and Zeb using their retirement to try new things. (inspired by this drawing Hayes did a while ago)

‘I could spend the next decade praising your d*** with a devotion usually reserved for those who worship higher powers and still not convey everything…and that was before I saw you in lingerie. Now I might never have another productive day in my life. All those times people joked that I left the empire for your d*** weren’t accurate exactly but…they also weren't untrue.’ ‘Huh, look’s like I owe several people money next time we go back and visit- Oh, oh!’
