#shen survives

[peetae]

Yes I used the AM hate monologue I’m cringe,,,,, (only been seeing clips but I’ve been meaning to listen to the audiobook and audio drama along with watching some gameplay)

Also forgive me i dont know how to draw po yet

this is in a hypothetical scenario of what if Shen survived the ending in kfp2. its also semi inspired off of this fic I’m reading: “The Future Was Yesterday” on ao3 by dropout_ninja (as in the idea of Shen surviving first came to me when I read that fic)

I love how mqf's oficial description is something like: a good heart who wants to help others but then you read the novel and his reaction to lqg trapping ten infected men who are crying in panic is "great now I can start to work in my experiments with decomposed people to find a cure" and gets out a lot of needles, which makes the man cry even harder.

Even if we only get bits of the other Cang Qiong sect leader's we can reach the conclusion that no one there is normal, sqq is just biased.

"Scum Villian's Reincarnation Survival Guide" brings me so much joy. Everyone should go give @milktrician lots of love!!!

mmmmmm read a disciple shen yuan/shizun luo binghe fanfic about two days ago where the first chapter was the Immortal Conference arc, and SQQ was the one who had to be pushed into the abyss (he was still the villain) except Luo Binghe was refusing and was like, lowkey losing his mind about SQQ being so close to the edge. SQQ ended up having to be the one to fall in himself because of the system's punishment system. The rest of the fic is leading up to that moment. But like, MMM i've been obsessively thinking about that first chapter for DAYS ever since.

now i've been in svsss for a grand total of *checks watch* a week. but god obsessed with that. I want to write/read a fic where disciple SQQ goes a little nuts down there. Like keep all of the things that make SQQ, SQQ, but just. Throw in a little bit more trauma in there. A little bit of a mental break. Let him go a little nuts as a treat. Just a tad unhinged. I wanna see him go, just a little, "god fuck it, i've tried so hard to change this shitty story's outcome and it feels like everything i've done has been for nothing. I'm going to die in this world no matter what I do, I've been doomed from the start, so might as well die the way I want to." and he just, breaks a little! Under all the stress.

He still retains the traits that makes shen yuan, shen yuan, like his overwhelming kindness. But he's just! yk. A little less patient. Paranoid. Jumpy. Colder. A little more aloof and closed off. A little more Shen Jiu. He's no asshole child abuser, but he was a Number One Hater in his past life and he's leaning into that old habit a little more now.

(On a totally coincidental not-at-all related note, there's not enough SJ-and-SY-are-the-same-people fics out there that i've found. This is totally unrelated...)

The Endless Abyss turns the mind into an over-sharpened blade, and SQQ is both fascinated and perhaps a little excited to explore a place that doesn't have a lot of info on it in the mortal realm, but still terrified out of his mind. And he's no Luo Binghe, he doesn't have the sheer brute strength and power to just bulldoze his way through, so he has to be a lot more sneaky and cunning if he wants to survive.

The fic itself role-swapped LBH and SQQ so that SQQ was the half-demon (which lowkey fucks) and LBH the human, but I'm equally-if-not-more obsessed with the idea that LBH remains the half-heavenly demon and SQQ the human. If only because I keep thinking about SQQ befriending some demons (particularly and specifically a group of succubi) and they grow very attached to this Human Cultivator so through magic plot stuff they create some kind of seal/illusion/talisman that makes SQQ appear as a demon because a human cultivator in the endless abyss may as well be the equivalent of putting a giant neon target on your back.

And iirc Shen Jiu was taught demonic cultivation by that one guy(?? i've only been here a week so im not caught up in ALL of the lore yet) so that could totally happen here.

(On the other end of the realms, poor Shizun Luo Binghe is just. losing his fucking mind over losing his most precious and beloved disciple. About .5 seconds from burning down the peaks himself. somebody sedate him.)

The Endless Abyss sucks and SQQ is having a really terrible time and can feel himself going lowkey mad, but also holy shit look at all this WORLD-BUILDING. look at all this flora and fauna, and oh if he had the equipment for it he'd be writing all of this down. ALL OF IT. He was kinda-sorta-already planning on never leaving the Abyss as some sort of fucked up self-exile and self-preservation thing, but now he might? actually just?? never leave if he can help it, like he lowkey likes it down here.

anyways the next time anyone ever sees SQQ again he's got hair so long its almost touching the ground and he's either in rags and half-feral or he's been completely dolled up by his adoptive succubi sisters and still about three seconds from biting anyone who tries to touch him. (he's also lowkey trying to book it back down to the abyss even if he has desperately missed all of his friends and shizun)

Realising that Shen Jiu and Liu Qingge's personalities are what people would usually assume for the other person's birth status (eg. Streetrat and Noble Born)

Like Liu Qingge is implied to be born to a noble background yet is the PeakLord at a peak where fighting is the common language, and Shen Jiu (A slave from the streets) is the PeakLord of the peak of NOBLE SCHOLARLY ARTS.

Liu Qingge is blunt, doesn't think to try and hide his intentions, and has little to no interest in politics, while Shen Jiu is calculating and scheming, always ready for any conspiracy against him or others.

Imagining Shen Jiu being born into a noble family and immediately knowing he would be like a fish to water. Liu Qingge however... 🤔 Would he be able to rise above Shen Jiu's childhood?

[archerdepartures116]

Liu qingge is a massive nerd—a bunch of his sword techniques are taken from things he’s seen or read, and he yells them out like a shonen protagonist

i am so bad at drawing action

Sqq: Why did you add anime sword techniques into your stupid novel-

Sqh: the audience liked it, its a nice little reference!

I think it'd be hilarious if Shen Yuan transmigrated into, say, Qing-generation disciple era as Shen Jiu's twin, and he's doing his absolute best to make sure his brother doesn’t get suspicious of his changed behaviour--and it's working. As far as he knows, Jiu-ge suspects nothing!

Meanwhile, a reincarnated post-PIDW Shen Jiu is doing the exact same, trying not to let on how he has no fucking clue how to act around this random guy with his face (he isn’t meant to be a big brother! Is this feeling genuine protectiveness?? Ew, what the fuck, stop it--)

So they just awkwardly shuffle around each other, both feeling like they are doing so fucking well, look at that idiot, he suspects nothing.

A-Yuan speaks a strange language? Okay, why the hell not, it's not like Shen Jiu knows what the boy learned while travelling with Wu Yanzi. Jiu-ge's skills are up to par with fully grown Cultivators? Yeah, sure, that makes sense--he'd have been a very boring villain if he sucked at everything.

It takes literal decades until they finally realise the truth.

Bonus points if Yue Qingyuan has been shot here from a svsss-adjecent timeline, is undergoing about twelve Revelations a minute, and is vibrating from the sheer excitement that comes with getting to dote on the 'new' version of Shen Qingqiu that he's grown fonder off than he ever wished to without that meaning he has to give up on his history with Shen Jiu. It never once occurs to him that the Shen twins don’t know what is going on.

Howdy, its "Sara tells you to go read a fic" o'clock "Shang Qinghua’s Reincarnation Survival Guide" by @milktrician

It's great!!! go check it out if u haven't already and if u have go read it again!!!

[abilai]

Hallo!!! I have a preorder for these bingqiu pins up on my storeeee (you know where the link is), they’re hard enamel and the mold is already in production for them to be shipped in early January 🌷

[lurkinginnernarrator]

Me if I were Shen Yuan:

get wifebeamed, loser.

[dyinggirldied]

It might be just me but I feel sad that Shang Qinghua is a footnote of a character from his own novel. Yes, he is the cute, loser, overworked, pathetic hamster that the fandom loves to pick on and coos and relates to at times. But within the SVSSS universe, he is the creator of the world but is sidelined and dismissed, MXTX doesn't care about giving him a name outside of his villain (og SQ)'s name, not even a mention like she does with Shen Yuan, the now Shen Qingqiu.

You might argue that at least there is Mobei Jun, the only one who love SQ is his literal dream man which is great but their relationship gonna needs a lot of therapy/advice from their friends because unlike with Luo Binghe, who is half human and has spent time as human in human world enough to understand human culture and needs, which is wildly different from the violent demon world.

[stardust-falling]

One thing about Shen Jiu that is really sad to me is that despite everything he’s been through and everything he’s become, despite how he acts and how he treats others, at the end of the day there’s still a little part of him that wants to do good.

Impulsively, he still tries to save people. Obviously with Yue Qi’s case that could be contributed to the attachment between them, but even with Liu Qingge— both when fighting the well ghost and in his (failed) attempt to save Liu Qingge from qi deviation. This is someone he hates, who he ambushed multiple times, who he has threatened with death over and over again, and yet when it comes down to a split-second decision, Shen Jiu still chooses to save him.

From what he says and how he acts normally, it’s easy to say that he doesn’t care about anyone, and certainly isn’t protective. And for the most part that’s probably true!! But when he has to make a split-second decision— let someone he loathes die or help him— he still tries to save them.

Until he fails, and Liu Qingge dies.

I think that impulse just about went away entirely after that point.
