'Don't cry, hm? Shizun will never hit you again. So don't cry.'

He'd just finished speaking when Mobei-Jun sent Shang Qinghua flying forward with a kick. And he really did go flying... flying... flying... [...] he tumbled and skidded as he went flying into the hole, to "investigate and ascertain the situation". After a long, dead silence, a terrified scream suddenly exploded from within the cave.

The absolute business-like manner with which Mobei-Jun decided to "volunteer" Shang Qinghua nearly killd me, the visuals of this scene are unparalleled

I knowwww this probably isn't how this bit is meant to be read but like,,, its very funny that when asked "how do flirt" they reply with how they treat each other

[snake-and-mouse]

Do people understand that I am absolutely not joking or just playing when I point out the absolutely straight line between Jeff being a public fan of The Untamed (and Hannibal which is important cuz the serial killer vibes of Happy Ending)

Which is based on a novel by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and features gays in fantasy magic ancient China.

And Jeff saying he writes on a secret "blog" about "history" stuff.

AND HAS SAID HE HAS READ A LOT OF KINNPORSCHE FANFICTION.

And now. Is releasing a series that borrows several ideas PRETTY DIRECTLY from A DIFFERENT MXTX NOVEL.

AND WHEN I SAY JEFF WRITES FANFIC AND IS NOW PRODUCING A SHOW BASED ON SAID WRITING I AM ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SERIOUS

What Dreams May Come

Shen Yuan dies from expired food

He doesn't exactly find himself in a new body, but his self-awareness doesn't exactly go away.

Instead, he finds himself bodiless in a dark void with nothing but his thoughts. He has so many thoughts that rage through him about how PIDW ended. He's actually more easily able to focus his anger at Luo Binghe's bad ending than at the fact that he died. With nothing to do but think, he comes up with hundreds of ways the story could have gone that would be more satisfying for his favorite Protagonist.

Eventually, he's not sure exactly when, he realizes that he can manifest visions from his thoughts into the empty space. Landscapes, beasts, swords, and eventually even people--though, unnervingly, it seems he can't do faces.

Things continue like this until one day, his little soap bubble dream world is abruptly popped, and he finds himself in the room of a lavish demonic palace. He still hasn't got much of a body beyond a wisp of smoke, but a pointy eared girl without shoes that he's pretty sure is Sha Hualing??? What the fuck??? Is yelling at him and calling him Meng Mo.

After she mentions releasing him to attack a boy that caught her eye, Shen Yuan (Or... Meng Mo, now) is PUMPED! Not only does he get to meet Luo Binghe, he gets to go and LIVE INSIDE HIM!

I can't remember if I've posted about this before but one of the things I find really interesting about scum villain is the way it handles the cycle of abuse and how revenge is ultimately unfulfilling. Shen Jiu treats Luo Binghe the way he does because of his own abuse and trauma that he suffered. He never managed to escape from the patterns of abuse that shaped his life, and he ended up perpetuating the same cycle onto Binghe, fucking him up in the same way he was fucked up

And so Luo Binghe gets revenge on the person who hurt him, just like Shen Jiu got revenge on his abusers. And maybe it's a relief in the moment, to know that this person couldn't hurt you anymore, but it's not satisfying in the long run. You can't end the pattern of violence with more violence, you won't heal those wounds on the soul by digging the knife in deeper. Luo Bingge might have made himself into an untouchable powerful person, too powerful to ever be hurt in a meaningful way again, but he still has that gaping hole inside him, a festering wound in his heart. He's still so hungry, even if he doesn't know what for. He's still unsatisfied

And in the Bingge vs. Bingmei extra, we get a glimpse of what he's hungry for -- he gets a taste of genuine love and tenderness, and it knocks him off balance. He sees what it's like to be handled with gentle compassion, and he's so hungry for it, he wants to grab it and take it for himself, but this isn't something he can take with all his violence and power. All he knows is this cycle of violence and conquest, that's the only way he knows how to interact with the world because it's all he was taught, but the love he craves isn't something he can grab violently. And so he's left to return to his universe, lonely and unfulfilled in a world where he has everything except the thing he wants the most

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)
