So I was rereading chapter 37 of Shen Yuan of No Relation by @grubus and I realized something. SQQ did exactly what YQY threatened to do years ago and then some.
DEAREST AUTHOR, I JUST RETURNED FROM THE RECENT UPDATE, AND LET ME TELL YA, IF SOMETIMES HAPPEN TO OUR DEAE PROTAGONIST (not LBH) OR HIS LITTLE SHIMEI, I WILL NOT LET IT STAND, DO YOU HEAR???? PREPARE THE SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN.
Sooo ya know that little gif I posted? This whole thing stemmed from me letting things get too out of hand while drawing up the dream scene that was only going to be that tiny little image....I have no regrets.
Just in case here's the rant
WHAT THE FUCK! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO KISS MY HUSBAND? WHAT A SHITTY DREAM! MENG MO COULD DO BETTER. WAIT, THE ORIGINAL NING YINGYING DIDN'T DREAM OF-OF THAT RIGHT? I WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED. I THINK I WOULD REMEMBER? FUCK. IT'S BEEN SO MANY YEARS. DID SHE? AM I GASLIGHTING MYSELF? DOES THIS COUNT AS GASLIGHTING? REGARDLESS, WHY THE FUCK WOULD MENG MO SHOW ME THAT? WAS IT BECAUSE I WAS PUT IN A WIFE PLOT? SO HE JUST...JUST AUTOMATICALLY DID THAT? LIKE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM OR SOMETHING? OMG! WAIT! DID BINGHE SEE THE WEDDING? FUCK! WAS THAT HIM THERE AND NOT JUST SOME FAKE? FUCK! WAIT! NO. HE WOULD STILL BE TALKING TO MENG MO... RIGHT? BESIDES, I’M A GUY! SO BINGHE WOULD NEVER WANT TO-TO...SYSTEM! DID BINGHE SEE THAT? WAS THAT HIM? SYSTEM! WHAT THE FUCK! WILL I BE PUT IN FUTURE WIFE PLOTS JUST BECAUSE I'M BINGHE'S BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD...
Writing Meng Mo's dream chapter is both hard, easy, boring and interesting.
Like, syonr is a fic where I explore what would be different here and there depending on SY simply existing. But Meng Mo is.... Meng Mo. He will make the dream that same way every time, but he's too important to just SKIP over (as well as what being in the dream MEANS for SY and LBH's relationship) so I have to figure out how to keep it interesting enough for me to read it (if I find it boring when editing, something is wrong) while still sticking close to canon.
It's one of those fun things where I'm unsure where to end the chapter, to keep it at the normal length or make it longer, what to keep, what to describe in detail and what to skim over.... like what is IMPORTANT! To me? To the story itself???
It's been fun to reread that chapter though, in the books.
hiiiiiuiii, did u ever decided where shen yuan from syonr came from?(like birth, not the jia) cuz i always like to imagine that he was comes from one of these wacky flowers or trees that grow babies, like the ones that only need a drop of blood to start reproducing, surely they do exist in pidw!
i have mir to say but i hate writing, good night 🌙😘💤
I do know where Shen Yuan is from, yes! It's a spoiler though. One day it will be revealed, but not today ^^
