I am working on the last part of my Moshang fancomic. Nice, right? I was supposed to start working on an original idea after but:
What if Shang Qinghua really wants to continue writing. He loved it after all. He still does. But he is too afraid that whatever he writes next will become real too and he will destroy peoples' lives again.
When SQH dies by accident he is reborn as same character again, except as an adult this time and in the original timeline of PIDW, soon before his character is killed. He realises there is no Cucumber-bro there, Bing-ge is the unforgiving black lotus he wrote the first time and his king is only one misstep away from killing him. SQH realises he is royally screwed by his own narrative and it might be too late to try and save himself now. Is there even a point? Maybe he should let history run its course. After all, he wrote and and he can only blame himself for that.
Shang Qinghua takes the option to go home before he and Mobei make up, and is replaced by the original goods. Mobei does not understand why SQH changed so much when he finds him. He is hurt and confused and blames himself. Only Shen Qingqiu knows the truth but he cannot reveal it to comfort Mobei in any way.
Mobei dies. Shang Qinghua could not prevent it, but he can fix it, right? Shen Qingqiu came back to life, one way or another like three times. Of course Qinghua can bring his king back! But the obvious ways don't work, and Qinghua tries the sketchy ones. Ones he knows are not safe. He does not care what his bro thinks. He will bring his king back one way or another even if it means damning himself and the entire world. LBH and SQQ need to stop him, and it's hard to do so when the one you want to outsmart is the author himself.
Guys, why is it all angst?
I really wanted to move on to an original story. I have 6 solid ideas, and at least 3 of them have complete plots and twists already planned out. Why won't fandom life let me go?

[images ID: three images of a comic titled "one must imagine sisyphus happy" by druid-for-hire. it is a visual narrative beginning with someone with wrist pain (depicted by bright orange nerves) working at a drafting table. the reader is shown the same wrist as the person uses it for many everyday tasks such as carrying a grocery basket, pushing elevator buttons, typing, and doing dishes, until the pain dissolves all the panels into chaos. the person then performs several physical therapy exercises until the pain subsides. they sit back down at a desk with their laptop, sigh, and begin typing. a small spark of pain reappears. end id]
a fun little piece i made during the semester and submitted into our school comic anthology! (which you can buy at the Static Fish table at MoCCAFest in NYC ;] ). it's about artists and injury
