Anyone else think about what it means that the world in svsss is still largely controlled by an overarching narrative and narrative logic even after the og plot got so off the rails we aren’t sure there’s even a train anymore. Like, Binghe is still recognized as the protagonist of that world so

#svsss #consider this a cryptic hint for a fic im working on #which would cook if i was some big fic writer lmao but oh well #i do think abt it cuz like what does this meeeeeeeeaaaannn for the other characters #the ‘cannon fodder�� and ‘beloved side character’ labels j got swapped around a bit #like gyx was meant to quietly fade into the background and ming fan was meant to die terribly #but due to order of events that kinda got swapped? like yknow rip gyx and ming fan rlly is just there to be an extra person and be goofy #lqg goes from ‘worlds first fridged man’ to an actual character #not one that ends up doing too much but he has actually like. is alive and does things and has cool moments #all the harem wives r off doing their own thing but it’s shown that at least on a surface level #some are still attracted to binghe when they run into him #is it bcus he’s a prettyboy or bcus they were made for that purpose or a bit of both?#tlj was never meant to show up at all but he’s an antagonistic force like he was originally intended to have #filling in that niche left empty for him in the og #binghe himself while still the protagonist does change a lot #and i think it’s interesting that even tho naturally he’d be the pidw pov we don’t see into his head that much #we have a totally different order of events than any in universe readers would have #isn’t that all kinda neat??
