OK BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OBLIGATORY "my big gay demon boyfriend turned into a child :0" ARC FOR MOSHANG like come on. Hua Cheng did it. Lo Binghe did it. Every self-respecting demon must go through it. *snaps fingers* Let's fucking go

Of course Mobei wasn't too happy about becoming weak and unable to defend Qinghua. He even feared that if this continues for too long, Qinghua will just leave him as he becomes useless. And so, he tried to hide in his room, but sneaky Qinghua found out anyway.

*

Shang Qinghua would probably not even recognize Mobei at once bc he became so cute and squishable and tiny and holdable. First Mobei would try to tell Qinghua to get out and leave him alone but Qinghua wouldn't be able to not give smallbei a headpat once and that's it. Mobei-jun can't resist anymore. He needs to be with Qinghua, even if it exposes his weakness now. Screw the pride or the chance that Qinghua will leave...the childish part of Mobei has reawakened in this body, and it demanded to be close with Qinghua as if it was vital. Meanwhile the way smallbei leans in for Qinghua's hand would just break his heart. He literally gave Mobei a childhood trauma and now the said child stood before him, making him realize what a terrible person he is. He can't help but hug his king, who doesn't seem to really object that much, but frowns in a funny way. "Qinghua, let go!" He tries to sound intimidating, but with this childish voice, really? Qinghua only laughs. "My king, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do now to stop me."

*

Mobei wouldn't stop following him around, even though it probably would be safer if he stayed in his room until he becomes normal. Which is why Qinghua has to stay in his room too.

"My king, no one should find out you're vulnerable now. And I have things to do."

"...Say that again."

"My king..."

"That's it."

Although Shang Qinghua wants to laugh at the sight of these puffed up cheeks, he can't argue. Well, if the king says he has a day off, who is he to disobey?

*

He wonders why smallbei clings to him so much, but finds it cute. Mobei knows that Shang Qinghua probably won't be of big help in case of attack, but he just feels the safest with him.

*

Shang Qinghua was dead sure he'll have to pay for this when his king returns to normal state, but he can't refrain from squishing and cuddling with smallbei bc he's just too cute. He knows it's the same Mobei, just that his body changed a little ("a little"), but that only makes him want to cuddle more. He even falls asleep still hugging his king.

When he wakes up, he sees normal Mobei sit near him.

"Qinghua."

"My king...glad to see you in proper state and good health, hehe," Qinghua chuckles nervously. "I hope you're not holding a grudge on me for my...excessive affection?"

"You will pay."

With that being said, Mobei locks him in a tight hug and doesn't let go. Qinghua almost gets scared at first, but then bursts out laughing once he realizes what's happening.

"My king, let go!"

"There's nothing you can do now to make me."

*

"...I thought you will leave. You didn't."

"My king, I would never. Especially when you're like that! How could I leave you?"

"I was weak."

"My king, compared to your normal state, I'm weak all the time."

"You don't need to be strong. I am. But back then, I wasn't."

"And I'm not a princess who needs a saviour. My king, I'm here now not because of your strength. And I am more than ready to be the strong one when you can't be."

Mobei says nothing and tucks his face in Qinghua's shoulder.

Theoretically if I were to host an event in which the Scum Villain Fandom tried to write PIDW would people be interested?

I discussed this with my good friend @spaced-out-scribbles a while back but here few details that I have in my head, please stop me if someone has already done something like this before

As we all know PIDW, written by Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, was the source material that Shen Yuan transmigrates into

So wouldn't it be funny to have a "canon" source material for people to reference?

Step 1 would be to compile every reference to PIDW in SVSSS to figure out how long Binghe's white lotus arc lasted and how long actual plot occured before it devolved into shitty smut

Step 2 would be to compile a list of fic writers and maybe artists perhaps that would be interested in recreating PIDW based off of the information occuring in Step 1

A discord server is put together with everyone interested in this project

There could maybe be a list of people assigned to each referenced arc that would maybe hold applications the way that a zine would perhaps? With people applying to write specific portions of PIDW if they wanted to write the marriage of a specific wife or a portion of a specific arc

And anyone else that wanted to participate is assigned a random wife number and told to go wild with the longest, shittiest description of how Luo Bingge was a total stallion lead, and married his new wife of the week

All of these fics and/or accompanying art are submitted to a GIANT ao3 collection (bonus points if everyone involved creates a pseud that's named as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky for this project) and with everyone's contributions all put together you get a semblance of what PIDW would have looked like

Bonus points if no one else has any idea what happened in a previous wife plot, so the story is not at all coherent towards the later chapters, because I fully believe Airplane had no idea what the fuck he's written before as he got to the end of PIDW

Someone is assigned to write the final shitty ending that made Shen Yuan so mad he died and transmigrated

If anyone wants to contribute to PIDW after the project, the collection could remain open but moderated to make sure chapter numbers/wife numbers stay consistent and that's about it

Obviously this would be a huge project to wrangle and would need a lot of people involved to actually make it work and take a lot of time, so if this is something people are actually interested in, it would more than likely not be able to come to fruition until the start of 2025 at the absolute earliest with all the prep work it would take to get a project like this accomplished but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if people would be interested, so reblog to spread the word if this is something you'd like to see!

Once again, if someone has already done something like this please let me know, I've only been in this fandom for like a year and a half so I'm aware that a lot of fandom events have occured before my time in the fandom

[i-will-cry-you-a-river]

Kinda continuation of this fic about this idea.

So.

He might have been slightly wrong about his assessment.

In his defense, Proud Immortal Demon Way was a stallion novel with lots of (bad) hetero papapa. Who would have thought that just by transmigrating a gay person in the universe would make everything more fruity, changing the whole genre?! (Okay, two gay people. Turns out Airplane was gay too. Suddenly, everything made so much sense after that revelation.)

(It was embarrassing to think back of that revelation. Even if it led him to his first boyfriend.

Especially because it led him to his first boyfriend.

Oh boy. Even thinking about it makes him want to dig himself a cushy little hole to bury himself. His first boyfriend. Shen Qingqiu was still too thin faced for this. To even remember how shameless Shang Qinghua was.

“Bro. Brooo! I'm gay. Why do you think My King is like that?!

“What?!” Shen Qingqiu was shocked. Sure, it was always a bit suspicious that Luo Binghe’s right hand man was still alive even though he was gorgeous, but to be the writer's perfect man? That explained so much…

“Yeah! He is like, my dream man! Gorgeous, a cold beauty, so mean and cruel, yet caring and loyal to those who deserve… I'm so weak for this type of men. Men who could step on me and I would thank them for it…” Shang Qinghua was embarrassing with his dreamy little sighs. And- were those stars in his eyes?! Was he drooling?!

Shameless! Utterly shameless!

But that description…

“Is that why Luo Binghe was like that too? Do you want my sweet lotus to step on you?! You shameless pervert!”

A snort was his answer.

“L-O-L. Of course you would think of Luo Binghe. No. I mean, yes, of course, but I wasn't thinking of my son.” There was an uncharacteristically calculating look in Shang Qinghua’s eyes. It was oddly attractive, not that Shen Qingqiu noticed it. Nope. He definitely did not notice it.” Can't you think of someone else that could be described as such?”

“No, not really. Gorgeous and beautiful, yes, many, but… Cold? Hm. I mean…” he trailed off. Shen Qingqiu - the OG - was a cold beauty. But he was a despicable scum villain, with no loyalty to anyone. And “caring”?! Hah! No way!”

“The original good was gorgeous and mean and cruel… but definitely not caring and loyal! Is it really a male character?”

“Bro.” The condescence was dripping from that word. “O-M-G, bro. How can you be so smart, yet so dense at the same time?! I'm talking about YOU!”

“...”

He?

They just looked at each other, one behind his facepalm, the other blue screening.

“Wait. What?!”

And that was how the talks about their relationship started.)

He would have preferred if he had a working System that notified him of such changes, instead of finding it out like how he found out.

[Host did not ask 乁⁠༼⁠☯⁠‿⁠☯⁠✿⁠༽⁠ㄏ]

Hmph.

But it was great! Life was great! Everything was great!

“Piss off you halfbreed!”

Except for when it was not.

“What? Is Liu-shishu jealous of this discipline? This is my time with Shizun, so you piss off!”

Shen Qingqiu sighed, and hiding behind his fan, he resisted the urge to facepalm. Honestly, his boyfriends…

“If this master's shidi and discipline do not learn how to drink tea together peacefully, this master will visit the Sect Leader instead. This master is sure Zhangmen-shixiong would be pleased with the unscheduled visit.”

“SHIZUN!” cried his sticky discipline - the Emperor, really. Fucking protagonist halo - in outrage. “No, Shizun can't do this! This is this discipline’s time with Shizun!”

“Shen-shixiong!” Huffed Liu Qingge as well. His boyfriends were so dramatic, honestly…

He sighed again. A repeating act when he spent his time with these two.

He wouldn't want it anyway else, though. These two were his dramatic brutish idiots.

“Come here,” he opened his arm, and Luo Binghe immediately threw himself into the hug. Liu Qingge was slower, more resistant, as if the little tsundere didn't like these hugs, but at Shen Qingqiu’s raised eyebrow, he leaned into the hug with more dignity.

It's okay, shidi, this master will not tell anyone that you are a big softie who loves cuddling with your shixiong and shizi.

“Would Shizun leave us for the Sect Leader?” sobbed Luo Binghe into green robes.

This needy protagonist…

“Leave? No. But you know that there has been… talks… between this master and Zhangmen-shixiong. The Sect Leader is… well. The thing between this master and Yue Qingyuan is different. There are too many misunderstandings and a burdening past between us. It is a slow process. Don't be so jealous, okay? This master… This master cares for you. For both of you. All of you, really…”

And wasn't that a mindfuck. He transmigrated as a virginal disaster gay, whose main goal in his second life was to hug the protagonist's golden thighs to survive, and there he was now, having a literal harem of gorgeous, hypercompetent men. Like- how? How the fuck?!

System, explain this!

[Since the protagonist Luo Binghe is not open to have a harem, the task was assigned to-]

Okay, okay, okay! I know!

Fucking hell.

It was still so weird that the “harem owner” halo was transferred to him. Not to Shang Qinghua - though he also has another boyfriend so he had two people who would gladly step on him -, not to Liu Qingge - who had a frenemies-to-lovers-by-proxy kinda relationship with Luo Binghe -, not even to the Luo Binghe-like Xiao Gongyi - who literally sent an application form to Shen Qingqiu's current partners to apply as a new harem member, WTF?! -, but to him! Shen Yuan!

Wild.

“It would be better for your health, if you'd finally allow Mu Qingfang to court your, but at least it is not the mutt’s snake of a cousin…” Liu Qingge grunted, still salty about that time when he was late to “save” Shen Qingqiu and Zhuzhi-lang “saved” him instead. Shen Yuan still maintained his opinion that knew what he was doing and he was not a damsel in distress, needing a strong man to save him!

He cleared his throat. “Uh… about that…”

“SHIZUN!”

“SHEN QINGQIU!”

The two shouts of dismay were expectable, as was the silent communication between the two lovers-by-proxy. Now the two had a common enemy, which he should probably discourage if he wanted his new pet to stay alive, but… He would not. The two needed to bond, the UST between them was killing Shen Qingqiu, and his slippery little snake was great at surviving. He would be fine.

Shen Qingqiu's sanity, on the other hand, was not.

No matter… who needed sanity, when he had a harem full of violate, powerful, gorgeous men who - against all reason - loved him.

And he loved them in return.

Life was good!

[Host is welcome! Please, rate your experience with a five star review!]

Fuck off!

[robsterskellington]

This is different from what I'd usually ask, it's just a new interest of mine lol. So, my cousin and co-writer, got me into a certain series which got me invested in other things, so I'd like to ask:

If you'd like to say why, please feel free!

Mini ramble about my own interest under read more lol

(Minor spoiler for the Heaven Official's Blessing donghua)

Okay, so my cousin gets me interested in stuff by talking about them, because due to personal issues, I have problems taking recommendations from people. He needed to show someone something that made him laugh, and I was the first one who came to mind as he knew that even without context, it would make me laugh:

It was a clip of Qi Rong in the English dub shouting: "I should've hunted down those rent boy fucks and chopped off their nasty, diseased twat spears!!"

From that clip alone, I ended up watching the entire dubbed donghua and reading all eight novels within 4 months. I was absolutely in love the entire time. Recently, I binge watched the donghua and read volume one of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, and again, I'm in love. I haven't started reading or watching The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System just yet, but I do have volume one and intend to read it as soon as I've finished MDZS.

The characters are all interesting in their own ways, and I honestly just feel happy to be motivated enough to read again. Ever have that feeling where you want to read but just can't be bothered? I read volumes four and five of TGCF on my days off from work, a full novel one day and the other the next. I just didn't want to put the books down, and I was glad that my cousin could talk to me about it and I could completely understand.

Anyway, I'll shut up now haha. Thanks for those who read!

[tossawary]

"This was eminently logical. If Luo Binghe wasn't shoved into the Endless Abyss, then he wouldn't be able to activate his golden finger. If the protagonist couldn't become overpowered, then where was the satisfaction?

Therefore, the Endless Abyss scenario was unavoidable. And as this novel's number one loser, number one scum villain, the execution of this glorious task, naturally, absolutely, inescapably, fell to Shen Qingqiu.

Yet unwilling to resign himself to this fate, Shen Qingqiu asked again and ended up sighing, still unable to give up completely. Luo Binghe, who was currently like a little sun, was destined to fall and become that brooding, cold-blooded, demon youth. Even a transmigrator like Shen Qingqiu, who by all rights ought to have access to cheat powers, was unable to change this inevitability.

He had been designated to be the man who threw the protagonist into the Endless Abyss, thereby catalyzing his overpowered, legendary journey.

This job's opportunities for growth were really terrible.

If Shen Qingqiu failed to do this, he would lose ten thousand satisfaction points - he couldn't become more thoroughly dead than that. But if he did do this, once Luo Binghe activated his golden finger, he definitely wouldn't let him off.

The work was difficult, the pay was meager, the benefits - were nonexistent. What the hell was up with this?!"

Volume 1, Chapter 3, page 140.

I do enjoy it when Shen Yuan falls into complaining about his "job" like this. You should join the transmigrators' union, bro! I suppose "job" is a more bearable and comedic way to think about the situation.

More of Shen Yuan assuming what "satisfaction" means here! To be fair to him, the System's goals are extremely unclear and the tasks that it has set are also unclear. It's all very vague. (Frankly, I'm still fuzzy on what the System as a character is doing.) Luo Binghe falling into the Endless Abyss and gaining the Xin Mo sword and becoming an overpowered stallion protagonist are the key concepts of Proud Immortal Demon Way, and Shen Yuan thinks that he's been set the task of helping PIDW happen but a little better.

Shen Yuan's perspective here is funny to me because he... does seem to believe that PIDW Binghe was ultimately satisfied by his life? That the PIDW lifestyle of conquest was meaningful and fulfilling? I do think PIDW Binghe enjoyed many, MANY pleasures, as the Emperor of everything, and did take satisfaction when he took revenge on his enemies, but that's not the same as contentment. Overpowered and legendary? Who could ask for more?

I tend to write Airplane Bro as being at least vaguely aware of this, as the writer of it all, and as someone I think was extremely dissatisfied with his own life and his incredibly popular story for a number of reasons. I also think it's funny to have him go, "Uh, bro, Binghe was miserable, actually? Obviously?"

[nyoomerr]

You’re genuinely one of if not my favourite scum villain writer! Thank you for the service you do to the fandom

🫡🫡🫡🫡 i'm always happy to report in for binghe-loving-and-bullying hours !! thank you so much for reading my stuff and letting me know you like it so much!

here, special gift for you - an excerpt of a WIP i have not worked on since 2022 (oops) about sqq accidentally asking lbh and lqg to please consider a bingliushen ending:

---

“Liu-Shidi,” Shen Qingqiu says, his expression softening. “It’s been some time since you’ve visited.”

Liu Qingge, who had clearly been about to turn and leave the second he’d dropped off the package, hesitates. He glances at Shen Qingqiu, then towards Luo Binghe. After a long moment, he squares his shoulders and meets Shen Qingqiu’s eyes.

“I’m not so shameless to pretend I haven’t lost.”

Shen Qingqiu’s brow furrows. Lost? This… with the way that Liu Qingge had glanced at Luo Binghe there, is this about the way that Liu Qingge and Luo Binghe had fought over Shen Qingqiu’s body during his extended dirt nap?

Shen Qingqiu feels his gut twist with something like pity. He’d been so caught up in trying to make Luo Binghe happy after everything that happened between them that he’d forgotten just how devastated his friends had been by it all, too.

For someone as proud and as loyal as Liu Qingge, it makes sense that he’d feel shame for having failed to beat Luo Binghe and recover Shen Qingqiu’s body. Still, for it to be such an intense feeling that it keeps Liu Qingge away from Shen Qingqiu, even now, after everything has been made right…

“Shidi, that’s - does it weigh so heavily on you, still?”

Liu Qingge goes tense, face flushed at having his pride during those past five years questioned. “I have never thought of it lightly, before. That won’t change now.”

Behind Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe shifts his weight. Shen Qingqiu blindly reaches out behind him for Luo Binghe’s hand, squeezing it reassuringly. There will be no fighting in his home, no matter how seriously Liu Qingge took his prior defeats!!

Still, though, he won’t always be around to give placating little gestures like this, and he wants Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge to learn to get along for reasons outside of trying to mitigate household damages, too. Luo Binghe may be the person that Shen Qingqiu is closest to in this world, but Liu Qingge remains special as one of the only friends Shen Qingqiu made as himself and not as Shen Jiu. And in the end, isn’t it natural to want your friends to get along?

Resolved, Shen Qingqiu nods to himself, gives Luo Binghe’s hand another reassuring squeeze, and says:

“Then, forgive this shixiong’s selfishness: even if it’s difficult for you two at first, I still wish for Liu-shidi to visit me like he did before.”

“Shizun -!” 

“Binghe,” Shen Qingqiu cuts Luo Binghe off, already knowing by the sticky, whiny tone of voice that if he lets Luo Binghe start he won’t stop until Liu Qingge has somehow been banished off the peak. “At least give it a try. If it’s truly too hard on you - or on you, Liu-shidi - this master will be forced to accept it.”

“...Shizun really missed Liu-shishu, these past weeks?”

Shen Qingqiu looks away, embarrassed at the frank question. Ah, Binghe, can’t you be a bit more subtle! Isn’t it mortifying to put it so bluntly like that, making this master seem like an abandoned pet just because one of his friends hasn’t visited in a bit!

Still, Shen Qingqiu manages to pull together the face to nod once, curtly. 

Luo Binghe looks pained. Liu Qingge is wearing an expression that Shen Qingqiu hasn’t seen on him since they’d gone on that mission to the succubus’s den together.

“I won’t share,” Luo Binghe swears. “Even if Liu-shishu is allowed to pick up where he left off before this disciple won Shizun’s heart, I won’t let him reach any sort of satisfying conclusion.”

Shen Qingqiu sighs, weary. Ever since their elopement, Luo Binghe has been even more aggressive about chasing Shen Qingqiu’s friends and visitors off than he’d been as a disciple. Shen Qingqiu has allowed it, for the most part; he has wanted to be left alone after the stress of the past year.

Still, when it’s about one of Shen Qingqiu’s few close friends, and when it’s Luo Binghe putting his intentions to chase that friend off into such blunt words, Shen Qingqiu can’t allow it to stand.

“At least pretend like you’ll try to get along, Binghe,” he says, just shy of pleading.

Luo Binghe blinks. His expression, previously of stubborn defiance, twists into shock. 

“Shizun wants Liu-shishu to - with this disciple, as well - not just - not just Shizun??”

“Of course. Binghe is this master’s -” Shen Qingqiu paused, clearing his throat awkwardly. “Binghe is this master’s important person. To get along with me should naturally mean to get along with you.”

This, finally, seems to be Liu Qingge’s breaking point. “I’m not interested,” he says flatly, and Shen Qingqiu does a poor job of hiding his disappointment at such a firm and immediate shut-down. 

Please, can’t his friends just try to get along!!

“Liu-shidi won’t even try?”

“There’s no point; I wouldn’t want to share, either.” Liu Qingge pauses, taking  a moment to force some of the tension from his shoulders. “Shen Qingqiu, you - you made your choice. I don’t need your pity.” 

With that, he turns on his heel and leaves as swiftly as he’d clearly intended to do from the start.

Shen Qingqiu frowns, absently patting one of the arms Luo Binghe has wrapped around him. 

“That’s a shame,” he say quietly, not sure if he’s talking to Luo Binghe or to himself. 

Luo Binghe noses into Shen Qingqiu’s neck, still clinging tight to him. “Does Shizun really think so?”

“Mm. I suppose it isn’t surprising that you have a history between you two that makes getting along so difficult,” Shen Qingqiu murmurs, “But it’s a shame nonetheless.”

SSSVS Shen Jiu,fanfiction thoughts

So, I've heard some discussion about how there are very few SJ fics where he repents, apologizes and how this angers people etc....

So my thoughts are, that's because atonement, being good was never the point of SSVS.

The system

SSVS isn't concerned with morality as much as how much you give into the system. SJ dies because he stopped fighting the role he was assigned he excepted being the scum villain. It's not just about how he abused a child. He did this due to a clear choice to stop trying to be good. After he failed to save his worst enemy. He accepted his role.

While it is a little annoying that SY gets to fight the system in Sj's place coming from an entirely different background without the trauma/ baggage that encourages those from lower classes to enforce the system.

He is none the less the one who starts to find ways around the system. He cheats and eventually gets rid of the system or at least not have to operate within its narrow confines. ( he's also not a good person but this thing is already too long).

LBH

A lot of fans forget this cause abused child, but um LBH has always been a hateful misanthrope who realized playing at being a white locus got you protection and sympathy.

Much like SJ he survived by lying. But while SJ pushed aside all weakness. LBH played it up for manipulation purposes. He was never a good person but LBH was always better at playing the system than SJ. (I argue LBH not being some white lotus still does not mean he should have been abused by SJ.) just pointing out that he's amoral.

Even SY looking at his flashbacks from his life with his mom called him a "blackened lotus" even then. a lot of fans like to blame the sword but even before he got his hands on it. LBH was always just a little bit off as a person. LBG is simply him with the gloves off and the claws and depression on display.

Furthermore even after getting SY love as LBM he never actually becomes a good person. He is ashamed because he raped SY but he never even tries to atone to Ning Ying or anyone else for murder, treachery, lying etc....

Because that was never LBH's arch, it was always about his place in the system, not his morality or how well he lived up to the role of ideal love interest. So many fans judge him through this lens but that's not the point.

LBH was born with more advantages,from the beginning due to being the protagonist. But this luxury came with a harmful role pushing LBH into a role where he was an ideal for other people. Despite the fact it made him miserable. Everyone including SY wanted a stallion protagonist a power fantasy. They could live though LBH just wants to be a house husband. He doesn't want to be emperor of the world.

LBH isn't a good person but he rejects the system and his role in it and seeks his own happiness.

Basically, why are SJ fanfic writers being asked to heap more judgment than other stans on our fav by our own of all people?

LBH gets to wish he could murder anyone who gets close to SY without invoking his wraith and be happy in his cottage-core life. Why isn't SJ allowed to do the same?

While I don't hate SJ atonement fics. Due to the nature of the novels, it's just not a requirement for me personally. Also sometimes, I just want to read about my favs without them being tortured and weepy for being bad people.

20 questions for 20 writers!

tagged by @buffintruder thank you!!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

89 ! that feels like a lot

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

355,274 which also feels like a lot!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

usually whatever I'm hyperfixating on at the time! right now it's mdzs/the untamed, but I've got some scum villain wips in the works

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Handsome Mystery Boy -- Skam soulmate AU

hot dilfs in your area (not clickbait!!1!) -- HLVRAI modern au

Strider Bros Feelings Jam -- Homestuck post-canon

Let's Get This Over With -- HLVRAI dream-sharing

The Secret Boyfriend -- TAZ Balance modern au

5. Do you respond to comments?

usually! it might take me a bit, but I usually try to respond, especially if it's a more recent fic. if it's an old fic or the comment is just, like, a string of heart emojis or something, I usually don't respond. doesn't mean the comment doesn't make me smile though!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

tbh I don't write a whole lot of angsty endings? even if it's an angsty fic, I try to end on at least a hopeful/bittersweet note, y'know? I guess the angstiest ending would be Frayed Seams because it's in the middle of the series and is giving context to the strained relationship between the Kageyama siblings. they do eventually begin to mend their relationship by the end of the series! just. not in this fic.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

this is once again rather hard because I mostly write happy endings! and I have a lot of short fics that are just. pure fluff. I guess if I'm looking for a fic that's long enough to Earn a happy ending, it would be a tie between Plant Their Hearts In Community Gardens or the sun in the summertime! I love how much Mob and Reigen's lives have improved by the end of the show <3

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not that comes to mind! I don't think I've ever gotten hate comments, so if people don't like my stuff they at least only complain about it somewhere I can't see it, which I appreciate

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

not really! I am usually a genfic writer lol though I have had wlwangxian robot sex on the brain lately for. reasons. and also I have a feeling some of my bingqiu fics are going to be like, scenes in the Middle of them having sex, because [gestures] bingqiu

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't done a whole lot of them, but I think the concept can be fun if executed properly! crossovers where the two casts meet don't generally appeal to me, but crossovers that function more like an au (characters from Series A in the universe of Series B) are more my speed. I have been pondering a svsss/hlvrai crossover....

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

god I hope not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yeah! I've had a couple fics translated into Russian, way long ago

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

not in a "we both were writing the fic in its entirety" way but I have written some aus and fics where I was bouncing ideas off friends so much that they might as well be a co-author. Let's Get This Over With would not exist without @neonlav's help

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

oh christ I have no idea. I'm a genfic person. bingqiu is doing something vile to my brain chemistry lately though

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

so many... so so many......... do not look in my google docs folder, there are too many untitled documents that have been abandoned........... I guess a more recent example would be a mdzs fic where wei wuxian is the juniors' camp counselor. I think the idea was v fun but I could not figure out where to take it. man I wish I was an artist so I didn't have to write plots for my silly little aus

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue! I love writing dialogue, especially when I feel like I really Get a character

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

fight scenes.... also pacing and figuring out how to end a fic, final lines are so hard

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I am not fluent enough in another language to pull off writing whole chunks of dialogue in another language! sometimes I'll use terminology from another language, especially if it doesn't translate well (like Japanese or Chinese honorifics and family terms) but otherwise I don't write in another language bc I would be too worried about it being incorrect

19. First fandom you wrote for?

it was, embarrassingly, for the since disgraced video game youtuber Cryaotic. in my defense, I was thirteen. the first fandom I posted fic for was for Hetalia, which is just as embarrassing. once again, my defense is that I was fourteen

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I am genuinely so goddamn proud of Let's Get This Over With. I had so much fun writing it, there are some concepts in it that I'm really proud of, and I just really enjoyed writing for hlvrai. those character voices were fun to play with

I'll tag @patron-saints, @scribefindegil, @localdisasterisk, @thatneoncrisis, and @notedchampagne!

𓆰 EN player, but i don't generally care about spoilers in any way, so you may see some spoilers from JPN floating around here (feel free to come yell at me in my inbox if i forget to tag them)

𓆰 i usually only have enough brain space to focus on one fandom and currently that's TWST but some of my other fandoms/interests include: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, Obey Me, EPIC: the Musical, Witch Hat Atelier, some other anime and manga, other danmei and c-dramas, so so many books, fiction podcasts and every vampire-related thing i can get my hands on.

[sharting-constantly]

Yo Mad Woman by Taylor swift being about Chloe in the be more chill fandom is hitting different 🤘

“And you’ll poke that bear till her claws come out and you’ll find something to wrap your noose around.”

being about the fandom needing to find someone to bully and instead of maybe idk, the Squip, they choose the most morally ambiguous female character, make her out to be the most horrible person then make her the biggest evil of the musical is crazy bro.

“Now I breathe flames each time I talk, my canons all firing at your yacht.”

being about the fandom writing her as someone who can only be a villain and a horrible person who ruins the lives of everyone around her!

“It’s obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together.”

being about how the one thing that almost all of the fandom can just nonchalantly agree on is that Chloe is the scum of the earth despite every character being flawed.

“‘Cause you took everything from me.”

Everything that makes Chloe a complex character getting thrown away by the fandom.

“Watchin’ you climb, watchin’ you climb, over people like me.”

being about how EVERY female character in the musical gets overlooked but also about how every female character similar to Chloe in any form of media is always hated.

“The master of spin has a couple side flings, good wives always know.”

Love Jake but apparently he’s allowed to be a dick to Christine and go back to Chloe with no repercussions.

“She should be mad, should be scathing like me but no one likes a mad woman.”

being about how Christine SHOULD BE just as pissed off as Chloe would be to Jake and Jeremy for fucking her over but neither the fandom nor the writers like that kind of character so instead she just forgives them, not holding any kind of grudge. Chloe does that and gets shat on.

“What a shame she went mad. You made her like that.”

@wife-beam I didn’t want to add on to that post because apparently OP doesn’t like being told that sj was never meant to be redeemed in the original outline… but on to your tags!

Airplane did predict that sj would become a popular character to readers if he added in the backstory. This is the exchange:

Shen Qingqiu rested his forehead on his hand and sucked in a deep breath. “Towards the Sky-bro, ‘Great Master,’ ‘Great Master’ Airplane—were you not held enough as a child or something, huh? Huh? The original backstory for ‘Shen Qingqiu’ that you mentioned was a sicko abusing him in his childhood? Do you really love writing miserable and tragic pasts that much?”

“Tragic characters are more popular,” said Shang Qinghua.

“Bullshit! He got two comment floods yelling for his castration, and you’re telling me that’s being popular?”

“Wasn’t that because I axed the backstory?” Shang Qinghua presented his logical counterargument. “Wasn’t Bing-ge tragic? Wasn’t he popular?”

He even uses Bingge’s popularity amongst his readers as an example. The reason why he took the backstory out was because he had already shown the original sqq to be so awful that by the time he got around to inserting hints of his backstory and moments where he wasn’t just needlessly cruel, fans were unhappy because it came across as attempting to make them sympathize with the child abuser. So he scrapped it and just committed to the scum villain trope of one-dimensional villain who is evil just because. This is his explanation:

Shang Qinghua embarked on an impassioned explanation of his artistic concept. “I had a lot of ideas for the character of Shen Qingqiu. I had hoped to portray him as a well-rounded, three-dimensional character; he’s scum, he’s wretched, but he has reason to be scum, as well as a not-scummy side. But the readers didn’t really buy it. As soon as I inserted signs of his development, they started griping in the reviews. So, I saw the winds weren’t blowing the right way and immediately turned him into a tropey and wretched asshole.

So while his intent wasn’t ever that sj would be a good guy in the narrative or eventually redeemed, he accurately predicted the way fandom tends to react to well-rounded villains: by either woobifying them and erasing their flaws as all a quirk of their “tragic backstory” or by attacking the writer as attempting to redeem a deplorable character by making them feel bad for him.

Dreams of Divergent

AKA Give Zhuzhi-lang a cultivator too

Updated here first at AO3

The reader is called Dúzhě (读者) which means “reader”

Make it more dramatic by making this Duzhe related to Su Xiyan

Reader is called Su Duzhe

To be clear, this Duzhe is blood related to Su Xiyan and even though Duzhe calls her Jiejie, Duzhe is not Su Xiyan’s blood sister. It would be weird, to me, that an uncle and nephew pair after marrying a pair of sisters then become brother-in-laws.

This Duzhe will be female as this work is even more self-indulgent

You do not remember much of your previous life in the modern world because you are a bit of a daydreamer. Even now, you hazily went through life in a daze, lost in your imagination reading and writing. Making your only blood relative, Su Xiyan, who is also your caretaker, worried.

You slightly recognized her name from a Danmei you read, even more when you learned the name of her Scet, Huan Hua Palace. You reincarnated into Scum Villain Self-Saving System, probably, as Luo Binghe’s only other maternal blood relative that you are pretty sure did not exist in the lore. But it does not matter to you currently as you are living in pre-canon time. Specifically, right before your sister's assignment of getting close to Luo Binghe’s father.

“Duzhe-meimei!” Your sister called. You looked up from your writing as you make a living as a writer, unlike your sister. Though she did buy this house for you to live in as she did not feel comfortable with you living with her in the Huan Hua Palace, not that she sleeps there, because even she knows that the Old Palace Master is not looking at her like a master should. She worried that when she goes on night-hunts or business trips that the Old Palace Master would do something to you even though she was the one who taught you cultivation.

“Jiejie, you're here,” you greeted as she sat across from you.

“How is my Meimei?” She asked.

“Fine, I recently published Heats of One and Heats of Many,” You mentioned, your sister couldn't help but snort as she remembers the draft of that story. It shamelessly was an omegaverse story. “It became quite popular.” It indeed did. After all, this world after all was originally a smut novel.

“How shameless,” she teased.

“Money is money,” you retorted.

“Anyway, I have to go seduce a heavenly demon,” she mentioned. “Don’t get kidnapped… again,”

“Please, I got returned immediately,” you jokingly huffed, which caused your sister to laugh.

“Still, you wander too far in your head, which means your feet will also wander too far,” she said.

“I… cannot refute that” You do indeed walk too far when you daydream, you once wandered all the way to another village. But in the end, you reassure your sister that you will be fine. You may not go on night-hunts often, but you are a cultivator in your own right. She left after a week, double checking that the Old Palace Master does not know where you live, to go find Tianlang-jun.

[Host, what will you do? Allow destiny’s design or will you thread their fate yourself?] Your system asked. A cute red panda floating in slow circles around your head after you waved your sister as she rode off. Your system, unlike Shen Yuan’s and Shang Qinghua’s, is not restrictive, allowing you freedom to fuck things up. Your system acts more like a familiar than a system, it is because your system is on the younger side and grows as you grow.

“Well, since we are in SVSSS and not PIDW, I like that Yuan made the harem protagonist gay for him,” you giggled. “But I don’t know how it will develop, as there are many scenarios to consider.” You slowly walked back to your home. Luckily, people cannot see you talking to your system. “I do know my sister will not stand Shen Jiu mistreating her son, much less Tianlang-jun, I think, in the case that I made sure Binghe has them in his life. Actually, will Binghe even be called Luo Binghe?” You asked mostly to yourself. “I could influence my sister to call him Binghe but he will definitely be called Su Binghe,“ You shrugged, “That’s not too bad, oh but his demon heritage, how will Tianlang-jun feel about sealing his heritage,” You continue to mumble your thoughts and worries to your system who patiently listens.

[random-thought-depository]

Also, tangent from my last post:

"I think a modern equivalent of Columbo would have to be centrally written in reaction against the archetype of the “gritty” Dirty Harry style cowboy cop who steps on toes and breaks rules but gets results. I think actual Columbo already had some of that in it, but for a modern remake it’d have to be much more central. I’m not sure what that would look like. Though one thing I can picture relatively well is, like, I could totally see one of remake-Columbo’s cases pitting them against a murderer who’s exactly that kind of cowboy cop but written as a villain."

I had a brain wave this morning that gave me a character concept that I think might be really appropriate for this villain!

So, I was thinking about another, different, much more modern cop show I stopped watching after a couple of episodes cause it gave me a vibe I didn't like, and specifically my reaction to the bits of it I watched were like...

On the one hand, kudos for having the guts to show a plausible way that "grumpy experienced detective who steps on toes and is kind of mean to his subordinate but gets results and is really a good guy when you get to know him" archetype might actually be a real asshole sometimes (in this case, being a really blatantly abusive boss to a subordinate he resents for being on his team while not being part of the cliquey social world he's cocooned himself with).

On the other hand, I got a disturbing feeling of not being sure the writers were "in on the joke," so to speak. Like, I got a vibe that the production team (or crucial members of it, anyway) admired the protagonist much more than I did. Worse, I got a possible vibe of them having something of that attitude that sees the occasional abuse as a price worth paying for letting a Great Person do their Great Person thing without interference. Possibly this changed later on, like I said, I stopped watching it after a couple of episodes.

Anyway, this morning I had the thought that you might get a pretty effective villain out of taking the protagonist of that series at that point in it, filing the serial numbers off them, and:

1) Assuming that they have that "I'm a Great Person so I deserve to occasionally get to abuse the mundanes and wannabes around me, because my well-being is much more important than theirs because of how Great I am" mindset themselves.

2) Assuming they combine 1) with the more common cop "I am part of the thin blue line, one of the heroic protectors of society who fight the war in the streets against the scum of the Earth on behalf of a coddled civilian population who increasingly don't even properly appreciate us and actually have the gall to criticize us and try to cut our budgets!" aggrieved hero complex.

3) Asking "if this is how they act toward a subordinate fellow cop who annoys them, how do they act toward suspects and even just regular civilians they don't like?" and answering that question without the filter of assuming they're the protagonist and therefore presumably a good cop.

Like, you could spin this pretty easily into the kind of cop who reacts to being pressured by a police oversight activist by framing the activist for a murder and getting them thrown in jail for a murder they didn't commit. And who does that without even really realizing they're a corrupt cop; it's an "adaptation executor, not goal maximizer" thing with them, they internally experience their framing people as "I know they're guilty but I can't prove it, so I'm going to frame the person who's guilty anyway, and if I got it wrong about this particular crime, well, they're the kind of low-life scum who should be locked away for the good of society anyway," they are terrifyingly sincere in their burning drive to see that Justice Is Served in every case and their belief that they have an almost unblemished record of Delivering Justice.

In this person's subjective reality, they're your classic gritty cop show protagonist; smart, cynical but with a burning commitment to Justice and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get justice done, always solving the puzzle and nabbing the clever criminal who might have gotten away with it if they hadn't tangled with such a brilliant opponent, abrasive and willing to step on toes and break rules but always getting results in the end. Step a bit outside of their own head, and they're the villain of a horror story that perverts the tropes of a cop/detective show; a lot of their "clever detection" is just framing people they think are guilty because that belief fits their biases (and they're a tolerated abuser within their own workplace, protected by their reputation for getting results and by the cliquey social world of select people they get along with they've cocooned themselves in), and maybe the most chilling part is they don't even realize what they're doing, they're 100% a villain who's totally and almost unshakably convinced that they're a big damn hero; if they could somehow be made to see themselves as they truly are they'd probably have a mental breakdown and kill themselves.

Anyway, I think that person would be a really appropriate antagonist for a modern Columbo equivalent.

A few of them start similarly, like the four that I pointed out. Then there are two starting with direct speech and a few starting with very short or only one-word sentences. Honestly, I don't really think too much about how to start a story because that's usually the easiest thing for me to do - to write the beginning. I just go with whatever pops up in my head when I start writing. I hope it's interesting enough to keep people reading but that's not for me to judge, so you tell me! :) Another thought that just crossed my mind is, why do most of my titles sound so lame? ;_; (It's truly one of the most difficult things when writing, if I don't know the title from the beginning, it's a struggle until the very end when I put the fic on AO3) Tagging some of my writer friends (no pressure to do this but I'd love to see it!) @tehalex3-blog, @radiodread, @berrynthewood and... I think my other writer friends aren't on here or I forgot their handles, sorry. Whoever comes across this and wants to play along, please feel free to do so!

[scummy-writes]

Hello, please call me Scum! If that is too direct for you, you can call me Scummy as an alternative.

I am 29, I go by she/her pronouns, and I use this blog to post my fanfiction as well as my general fandom ramblings and such. I am primarily interested in Ikevamp and Ikepri, though I generally like other eng cybird games as well.

I am pretty explicit at times, and primarily write smut, so I do not want minors following me.

My main account is @strawberry-scum. I do not recommend following it, however if you want to properly block me, you need to block that account as well as this one.

─── •✧ Favorites

Prince: Gilbert, Roderic, Clavis, Silvio, Chev, Keith

Vamp: Isaac, Arthur, Theo, Comte

Villains: Elbert, Alfons, Victor

Tier list here!

─── •✧ Ships (between suitors)

Gilbert/Roderic, Gilbert/Silvio, Gilbert/Chev, Gilbert/Clavis, Isaac/Arthur, Arthur/Theo, Theo/Isaac, Comte/Sebas, Elbert/Alfons- and variations of these ships with mc or an oc in a poly relationship.

─── •✧ Other Blogs

✧ @ikemen-daily-questions - a blog centered on popping out a question daily to think about in regards to your fave character (limited now, posting holiday q's and then ending)

✧ @c-bookwyrm - Oc blog for my ikepri oc Constance

✧ @askgilbertvonobsidian - askblog where I rp Gilbert

✧ @letters-from-ikemen - a blog where other writers and I fill out letter requests from your fave ikemen. Requests are open, and we're still recruiting new writers!

─── •✧ Writing Info

✧ I am not a stickler for IC / OOC. I believe that since we're not official writers for these games, everything we write is OOC. I personally will try to stick to my belief of what I think IC for the character based on what I interpret from the game and don't like arguments about this.

✧ I enjoy gentle femdom, and so loose aspects of that (if the fanfic is not centered on that) will sometimes pop up. It's been a while since I've written it, however.

✧ I usually don't see any of the characters as strictly straight and so will ship suitors together at times, or have the suitors romantically interested in each other when writing polyships. I will also reblog trans hcs and such too if I enjoy them. If that bothers you please just leave me be.

✧ Due to liking Gilbert, I'm now able to have a character I feel like I can explore kinks and themes that I felt like I couldn't with Isaac. Unfortunately, Isaac is the outlier in my normal flavor of faves from before the cybirdie games.

✧ I write for myself first and foremost. If you dislike it, just leave me alone.

✧ Always happy to answer qs about my fics or blog

✧ I have a lot of issues IRL and so it's hard for me to write often, and guilt associated with this is why I do not do requests often.

✧ I don't fuck with people who turn writing into a weird fight for popularity with each other, or who just write for notes/attention rather than the joys of creating. I prefer having a healthier relationship with writing and fandom content as a whole!

─── •✧ Misc Info

✧ I am unsure of how others view me, but I am rather anxious and shy, so I often do not reach out to others. I am also quite busy when I am online, and so messages may be neglected since I do get a good amount of them. I Love to talk to others!! I do not mind (polite) asks and such!! Just....busy.

✧ A huge part of fandom for me is reading other people's interpretations of characters. I think discussion surrounding characters is fun, and I enjoy seeing the various conclusions people come to about how a character is. Because of this, you may see me 'contradict' some things ive written when reblogging others works/discussions, or even discussing things on my own. It's just fun to consider a character through multiple angles.

✧ I can't figure out tone often with the use of anon, and in general I don't do well with 'overfamiliar rudeness' with people I do not know. So please no playfully rude messages on anon.

✧ I treat everyone as equally as possible. More specifically I do not believe there are '#1 fans' of charas, I don't think a follower count = fandom respect levels, etc etc. Unfortunately if you're pretty rude to me, even after a chance to step back, then I'm likely going to be rude back/block. Don't be a weirdo about this.

✧ I've had this blog since 2017, and I've been writing for longer than that. I like being creative, even if I struggle a lot. I am lucky enough to have my writing in a physical zine, and that is gouda enough for me.

✧ I consider this a writing AND fandom blog, and that is why I will make posts about fandom, as well as the games I enjoy, beside my writing.

✧ I used to create for My*me, but I no longer wish to participate with that fandom. If you ever have specific questions regarding my fanfics from that time, feel free to ask, but keep in mind I may not always want to answer.
