#system cleanse

[fairsweetlonging]

truth serum / system reveal au where shen qingqiu gets hit with an uncloaking spell that reveals the system in the reflection of his eyes every time it pops up.

during one of his missions, in the treasure hoard of some dragon-like creature, he finds a golden, oval shaped hand mirror, its gaudy style more victorian based than anything (airplane you hack!), that doesn't seem to do anything when he looks into it. but when he does, it reveals the system's screen in his eyes.

he doesn't notice this, of course, because he can't see it, and the system, surprisingly, stays quiet.

the peak lords think he's cursed.

maybe mu qingfang is the first to notice, during the mandatory post mission check-up, when shen qingqiu is scrolling through his most recently accumulated points and mu qingfang can see the strange vividly-blue lines reflected in his pupils. it's gone when shen qingqiu blinks, like it was nothing but a trick of the light.

it comes out when yue qingyuan is visiting and, just as he's done laying out the plans for a new mission, shen qingqiu's eyes glaze over and a bright blue box takes over the whole of his iris. shen qingqiu goes quiet; the thing in his eyes moves, shifts, pulses for a second, like static worms crawling all over his pupils. then he blinks, and it's gone, and shen qingqiu accepts the mission that yue qingyuan was almost sure he would decline.

maybe there is an intervention, when the peak lords corner shen qingqiu at qian cao peak and try to figure out what's wrong, subjecting him to all kinds of treatments and curse-finding spells that turn up empty, they can't find anything.

of course, the silencing threat is still very much up and running. at first shen qingqiu was kind of confused by the whole ordeal, but when the peak lords start describing a "strange blue box", he realizes, with sickening suddenty, that they're describing the system. and he can't say anything.

this only makes everything worse, because their fellow peak lord now keeps evading every question and acts like he doesn't understand. liu qingge points right at his face and asks, "that blue box, what is it?" and shen qingqiu laughs nervously and starts talking about how bright the weather is and surely it's the sky and nothing to worry about!

even worse, during the intervention the system thought it was a good idea to start talking to him, so now even the peak lords who hadn't seen it and who might have been persuaded by light tricks and reflections, get a first row view that no, that definitely isn't a trick of the light.

they try to do the whole thing of "are you in danger, blink twice" but shen qingqiu can't even do that because it's still a direct admittance!

maybe eventually he starts saying vague confirmations that don't actually confirm anything, like "this master hears what you're saying", or maybe he goes with a classic "this master can neither confirm nor deny that." but the system starts warning him for that too and eventually he stops saying anything, which worries the others more.

luckily mu qingfang catches on that every time they ask a direct question about the box or shen qingqiu says anything vaguely confirming, it appears. it doesn't appear when they ask about curses or demons, so it must not see that as a threat.

for a little extra angst: maybe the peak lords keep pressuring him for answers, and at some point shen qingqiu gets fed up and snaps out something like, "why don't you understand that i'm not allowed to answer that!" the system counts this as a direct admittance, threatening it's existence. so it punishes. shen qingqiu has a qi deviation so bad it lasts two weeks and takes two people every day to cleanse his meridians. the system doesn't appear in that time. it doesn't appear for a long while after that, either. the peak lords stop asking, mainly because shen qingqiu will instantly leave the room if they do. they don't stop searching for a cure, though.

shang qinghua returns from a business trip and catches on the second someone mentions a blue box and forced silencing.

Spiritually, crying is sacred.

It’s how we cleanse our emotional autonomy, how we let the body do it’s thing when the soul is overwhelmed. It is the bodies way of cracking open and letting the soul breathe. Like an exorcism, burning, until that pain breaks loose. This is how we return to our being. This is how we mend, and this is how we heal. It strips our ego, softens the armor, brings us closer to our truth. Let it come, let it move, let it free you, bring it to it’s full release.

begging you to look up kahanism bc thats the ACTUAL ideology that you think zionism is. kahanism is an EXTREMIST BRANCH of zionism that unfortunately a lot of people currently in power in Israel believe in - the majority of zionists believe in finding a solution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace, like for example A Land For All, not in kahanism

And btw I'm a pro-Palestine non-Jew who lives in America, I just believe that spreading misinformation about what Zionism is is actively harmful to a peaceful future - peace can only be achieved if we strive to understand both sides, because no one ever listens to someone that's not listening to them, and the only solutions that don't involve compromise are genocide of the Palestinians or genocide of half the world's Jews (a huge portion of Israelis fled ethnic cleansing in places like Iraq and Ethiopia, they have nowhere else to go) so understanding is VITAL

I have seen street interviews in Israel where everyday citizens are saying a variety of disgusting things, everything from there's too much aid going into Gaza, or there's not enough dead. Or there's no innocent children in Gaza.

I feel like, if the majority of Israeli citizens voice that level of dehumanizing in their everyday language, then branches of belief systems do. Not. Matter.

What matters is what is happening. And how it can be stopped.

That is all that matters. I don't give a shit if it's Kahanism or Zionisim, both look equally ready to genocide anyone from Palestine to Saudia Arabia to fulfill their "Greater Israel" vision.

I feel like we’re drowning right now. (We being anyone engaged and trying to speak up about the genocide.)

Seeing people around me just unaffected and unbothered going about their lives. Drinking their Starbucks and buying their cokes. Staring at me as if I’ve grown a second head if I criticise them or ask them to boycott. That look of disgusted dismissal, like oh she’s that girl, the one into “politics”.

Still using the reason of “i just don’t have enough info, I’m trying to stay uninvolved.”

I don’t know how to deal with it, I’m going crazy. Like how can they not see the way the system is fucked up and their walls are chipping. If we don’t speak up, it’s gonna build back up higher??

These are some of my closest friends too, who’ve heard me rant about all this. Like the disappointment I feel when I see them do shit like that.

Sorry for the ramble.

Atp winter is my yearly cleansing of sins.

I always get a cold and every year the frequency and magnitude of my sneezes feels like my sins are being shot out of me via sneeze

[eldritchneuro]

Analysis can be wild because sometimes you'll end up with something insightful and then other times you'll be headshotted by something so incredibly cursed so suddenly that you wonder how the fuck you got here.

Anyways, Jesus Christ has still not apologized for his warcrimes in Korea and China

maybe it's because i grew up learning about the mission system of california, but i'm always really struck by what appears to be the ignorance people have of how the colonialism of the spanish and french existed in parts of what is now the united states in favor of just being upset by british and white american colonialism. literally so much predates manifest destiny.
