#the things i do for liujiu

[helyft]

The worst part about writing a long fic is waiting for my favourite scene to come so I can write it (noone tell me that I can just write it before- no I fucking can't, It messes with the order) Tf you mean I have to wait through the 20k words worth of world building I myself thought about? What do you mean it won't just magically appear out of things air???

LiuJiu Palace AU

Liu Qingge’s ears perked up as soon as he spotted the familiar figure behind the peach tree, who was obviously trying to avoid him. “Fight me, Shen Qingqiu!”

Shen Qingqiu clicked his tongue. He took out his book and hid his face behind it. “Don’t you have better things to do, stupid brute?”

Liu Qingge jumped over the small lotus pond. “Nobody can fight like you.”

“Tsk. Didn't you call me a cheater last time?”

Liu Qingge's face turned red. “That was… I apologize. My grandfather has since then taught me that tactics and strength go hand in hand in all battles and wars.”

He had just been accepted into the special troop responsible to protect the emperor and his family. Yet, in front of Shen Qingqiu, Liu Qingge still felt inadequate. Even though he participated in the entrance test just like everyone else, a lot of the palace officials still thought he merely passed because he was General Liu's favorite grandson.

While practicing his martial arts, Liu Qingge had accidentally stumbled upon Shen Qingqiu, who happened to be hiding from several angry servants. Shen Qingqiu claimed the servants were mad because he had taken some writing tools that were reserved for high-ranked nobles. When Liu Qingge demanded that he return those tools, Shen Qingqiu rolled his eyes and said the good brushes and ink would be wasted on fools with no reading comprehension.

They fought. Liu Qingge lost, because he underestimated the scholar. He thought Shen Qingqiu with his dainty fingers and pale skin wouldn't be able to fight, but Shen Qingqiu proved to be as proficient in swords as he was with brushes.

Since then, Liu Qingge had been visiting the courtyard daily to challenge Shen Qingqiu. The young man was always strangely alone, never seen with other scholars or officials. Even though Shen Qingqiu said he was nothing more than a lowly scholar, Liu Qingge often found him in places quite close to the emperor's quarters.

He couldn't possibly dare to wander around such areas, if he was just a normal person. Though… whatever his status was, didn't really matter to Liu Qingge. The only thing that mattered was that he was Shen Qingqiu.

“How about you visit my house?” Liu Qingge suggested as he sat next to Shen Qingqiu beside the peach tree.

Shen Qingqiu fell silent.

“We have plum trees. The fruits are really sweet,” Liu Qingge added.

He recalled that Shen Qingqiu really liked sweets. He liked the pastries that Liu Qingge brought last time too.

Shen Qingqiu bit his lip. “I can't leave.”

Liu Qingge frowned. “Why can't you-”

“Consort Shen!”

A group of servants came running towards them. Liu Qingge froze.

Consort?

He quickly looked at Shen Qingqiu, who appeared paler than usual.

“Here you are, Consort Shen. Minister Qiu has been looking for you,” the servant said.

Minister Qiu. Ah. Didn't his grandfather complain about this particular minister last time?

He was the minister who practically sold his cousin as a concubine to the emperor in exchange for more power. General Liu was against it, as Minister Qiu’s cousin was a talented scholar who placed first in the exam. However, the emperor had long desired the scholar’s beauty and forced him to retire from his position to be a concubine.

Liu Qingge suddenly felt his heart sink. He thought it didn't matter what Shen Qingqiu’s position was.

Now it occurred to him… that it mattered. A lot. Because he was in love with Shen Qingqiu.

anti-ship adjacent ships: liujiu and qijiu

so there's this weird thing that's happening in svsss of all fandoms that reminds me a lot of voltron's klance and sheith fiasco AKA the formation of what i like to call anti-ship adjacent ships

basically, when someone's favorite ship is more indicative of them being an anti-shipper of another ship.

i've had to start excluding liujiu in my ao3 searches because more often than not, the fics that come up are yqy-bashing and what?? this is svsss, right? mxtx's trashiest, most problematic, harem-bicycle-shen-yuan svsss? what is this moral outrage doing in my degenerate danmei fic space, and why are you mischaracterizing yqy just to make an excuse to hate on him??

i've had a few thoughts on the rising dichotomy of shen jiu sympathizers both validating sj's bad behavior and hating yqy for enabling the same behavior. and then shipping him with lqg because liujiu is 'less toxic.' As an old lady fanfic reader who's trawled through all the godforsaken dead dove ships of the old livejournal kink_meme, i'm writing these out because making sense of things helps me cope and i am too old for this shit

(this is actually more 'why anti-qijiu' word vomit than liujiu specific--it just so happens that so many liujiu fics are bizarrely anti-qijiu.)

narrative reasons for anti-yqy liujiu fic:

aka why an author finds it easier for the plot to bash qi-ge

accepting either romantic or platonic qijiu means trying to fix qijiu. this is hard. yqy and sj already have a proven history of failure, while sj and lqg (aka author's ideal white-knight love interest) would be the perfect do-over. making yqy a clear abusive villain sj must cut off ties with 'for his mental health' solves the problem without having to fix things. it frees the author to write what they thought qi-ge should have done to 'save shen jiu right.'

on the same note, liujiu have nearly no canon crumbs. the author can write them however they want without being constrained by their canon relationship.

why lqg over other possible ships? other than yqy, lqg is one of the few characters with any sort of previous relationship with sj. lqg is canonically hot, has strong (even if negative) feelings towards sj, and has no textual or subtextual canon ship (beyond a one-sided crush on shen yuan, with lbh getting in his way lol.) he is also the same generation as sj and thus avoids any age gap squicks like with sj's other ship partners (looking at you tlj)

yqy is the only person in cang qiong with higher authority than shen jiu. while other peak lords are antagonistic, all are ranked lower and can't get in liujiu's way the same way as yqy can as a sect leader. not even the old palace master has the same power because he's the head of a different sect. so if you really want to write a villain abusing their (implicit) power over shen jiu, yqy is the only one that fits the bill.

lbh, as sj's disciple, does not fit the same abuse of power trope even if he becomes an op demon lord. as for bingjiu, lbh's brand of diabolical stalkerish yandere is so over-the-top it's hard to equate him to any real relationship. it's easier to twist yqy's passivity to villainy because it's closer to reasonable human behavior.

if one is coming from the tgcf fandom, yue qingyuan is the closest junwu-adjacent character in terms of personality and rank (on the surface.) so it's easy to transfer any junwu hate to yqy by giving him all of junwu's worst traits and making him 'junwu-lite'

same thing as above but with mdzs and the lan xichen hate for his inaction regarding his own little meowmeow (jgy).

personal author-reasons for anti-yqy liujiu fic:

aka when the character himself doesn't matter

let's get a silly one out of the way: maybe the author only headcanons top shen jiu and most qijiu has sj being a bottom. lqg gives off better hot twinky bottom energy than submissive-but-still-tops yqy. this does not explain the anti-shipping though.

less silly: an author is projecting either themselves or other people in their real life onto their fic, and changing the character's personalities to match their real life projected counterparts (even if ooc). sj is a clear abuse-survivor insert, which shoe-horns other characters into roles that real people in the author's lives have. i think yqy is often seen as the insert for someone who 'could have helped but didn't.' there are many valid reasons why someone would be more mad at the person who averted their gaze rather than their actual abuser, but that doesn't change the fact that qijiu's relationship in canon is so much more complicated.

(it's easier to hate enablers instead of abusers, because hating abusers and inviting confrontation is dangerous. most of the time, enablers won't hurt you directly. they are the safer person to hate.)

an author thinks they could have saved sj better, that qi-ge had more than enough time to fix things and his failure not to do so must be punished by taking away his sj-simp-card and throwing him into the villain bin. this is similar to the phenomenon where an author hates the wife of canon anime couples b/c the author could clearly wife him better. and then writes a fic bashing said wife.

an author sees a messy relationship and equates messy with abusive. in reality many relationships can be messy but not abusive, messy but still fixable, but due to their personal experiences they see any attempt to do so as toxic. in this scenario yqy is often the abuser-insert and his ooc characterization takes after the author's own abuser.

specifically in fics where lqg has the personality of a cardboard cut-out: using liujiu to tell others they are still pro-ship, when in reality they dislike qijiu for their own reasons (and can't help but write it in their fic). it really reminds me of middle school lol like kids trying to find their identity by hating another identity. the whole 'ew pink is overrated, i hate preps which means i must be a nerdy rebel' and then two years later you realize you're not a nerdy rebel after all, you just based your entire identity on what you thought was the opposite of what you hated.

why i try not to read anti-qijiu liujiu fics:

aka write whatever you want, but sometimes i have to choose not to read

authors can write whatever they want. we're all doing this for free, so it's expected that a lot of fanfic have venting and some self-imposing onto a fictional character. i don't expect authors to NOT put themselves in their fic in some way. at the same time, however, i hope authors are self-aware enough to not bash another character just because that character reminds them of someone irl.

aka i get uncomfortable when i read a fic that has an author's obvious real-person insert. i'm not reading svsss fic anymore, i'm reading the author's version of punishing their abuser using fiction. i love transformative media that adds onto the canon! i love different interpretations even! but i'm here to read svsss? where are the svsss characters??

i'm not into character-bashing in general. i think the point of svsss and all of bingqiu's misunderstandings is the fact that good/evil is not a binary. sy spent the whole series fearing the 'evil' binghe despite the fact that post-abyss binghe was a complex person, causing a chain reaction of disaster. hell, shen jiu is the king of gray characters! he is a scum villain, evil and misunderstood, to be a sj-fan means to understand that no one is entirely good or evil. so it's even more cognitively dissonant when a pro-sj fic is so categorically anti-qijiu, as this often paints sj as good/misunderstood and yqy as bad.

(the only character-bashing i don't care about is the old palace master mxtx clearly wrote him to be bashed so throw him in a fire)

i don't mind liujiu actually, i think the dynamic has potential (see all the sj harem fic i've read lol) but qi-ge is such a big part of sj's character that vilifying/getting rid of him does sj a disservice too? sj has a shit ton of bad coping mechanisms, these aren't going to be magically fixed if yqy gets his limbs chopped off as 'just punishment' (??) for not stopping sj from abusing his own students (????)

in conclusion

there is no point to this rambling, and you don't need to agree with me on anything. these are just thoughts i had when trying to figure out why anti-ship adjacent ships even exist. the moral outrage is giving me war flashbacks of anti-sheith klance fans using their age gap as justification for their own ship, rather than liking klance for... being klance.

(I briefly considered going over all liujiu vs qijiu morality arguments, but if you're an sj fan i feel like morality arguments are pointless. he is an angry feral scum kitten who hits kids, no sj-fan has the moral high ground here.)

it's always unfortunate to see so much anti-shipping spilling into fandom, since by default most of us are living in the fringe minority anyway. further dividing us is just going to sink the whole ocean ala the death of livejournal and chinese ban on ao3. there's no point in ships if there ain't an ocean to sail in! aren't we all here because we are fans of these stories???

bonus

to make up for what must feel like a huge anti liujiu wall of text, here are some of my general thoughts on how their relationship would work. i'm more familiar with sj so most of these are from his pov.

while sj often has schemes upon schemes upon schemes, when it comes to anger/criticism/negativity, he's scathingly honest. lqg, a fellow honest asshole, is often on the same wavelength. once misunderstandings are cleared up and lqg realizes sj will do whatever it takes to protect big bro yqy (and thus the sect), they're able to work together as a ruthless team against cang qiong's enemies.

let's also assume fixing sj's emotional issues stops him from the worst of his scumminess aka whipping his disciples half to death.

teamwork -> enemies to lovers -> only one bed trope???

sj needs someone who will overtly believe in his goodness, and lqg, once he realizes the mistakes in his assumptions, is a loyal wall of support. unlike qi-ge who must always play diplomat, lqg blazes over all social cues. who cares if this looks bad on cang qiong, he'll throw down with anyone if his boo is insulted.

lqg is upfront and honest. there are no hidden plots for sj to be paranoid about in lqg, he's a Good Man through-and-through. if lqg has problems, he'll tell him. if he needs to apologize and sj tells him why, he'll do so. and if sj asks him a question, he'll always do his best to answer.

while lqg knows sj has trauma and a dark past, he will never truly understand what it was like. and that's exactly what sj wants. he likes how lqg knows him more as he is now in the present vs. someone who has lived through the same past. being with him is a reminder that he is now a powerful peak lord, not the starving street rat he once was.

for lqg, sj is like a complex puzzle box. an enigma so outside of his understanding of how the world works, he can't help but be drawn to it. he used to equate scheming with evil, but once he realizes much of sj's scheming was for the good of the sect, he lets himself be impressed by sj's intelligence. the fact that sj became a peak lord from nothing shows a certain type of strength-- and lqg has always appreciated strength.

a big roadblock in their relationship was sj's antagonism towards yqy (their sect leader whom lqg respects.) once qijiu reconcile (or sj stops being so disrespectful to yqy in public) lqg is better able to see him as an ally vs. an enemy.

sj rewards this loyalty by taking care of lqg's hidden enemies, because straightforward brutes are especially susceptible to devious snakes like that. sj would know. whether or not he tells lqg can go either way. he tells lqg if only to stop lqg from hearing it elsewhere and assuming the worst; or he doesn't tell lqg because he knows lqg trusts him and confusing his mind with schemes would just make him grumpy for not understanding.

...even if he's cute when he's grumpy.

[sweettsubaki]

I feel like LiuJiu is such an underrated ship.

Liu Qingge started rethinking his relationship to SQQ after Shen Yuan saved his life which Shen Jiu tried but failed to do. Now SY tried to smooth things over which SJ clearly wouldn't have done but as far as LQG is concerned I think it's not that out there to think he'd develop an interest (then a crush later on) for SJ who may or may not actually want to kill him? So what is the Truth ? On a character development side I think it might be more interesting than what he got in Canon since it's SQQ who changed personality which means LQG didn't have to really learn some nuance except for the whole "accepting Demons" part which... Honestly he didn't really budge on too much tho he did accept SQQ's choice.

On SJ's part if he made that first step of "yeah actually I never tried to kill you I just don't trust anyone to listen to me so I didn't defend myself and it adds to my urban legend so less people will try to fuck with me", LQG's autism straightforwardness would probably be welcome. Like "yeah he's not gonna force me to girlboss, gaslight, gatekeep so I'm safe here".

You can have different flavor too:

Plot Bunny in a "it solves everything" kind of way (bonus points if SY still appears so he and LBH can keep being Freak4freak on main... Or side)

Interesting dynamic that can be bittersweet or have a not so bad ending depending on how it affects SJ's relationship with others.

Completely fucked up where instead of helping each other be better, they make each other (and everything else) worse.

So much fun to be had.

[liquid-sunshines]

important (but belated) thing to note!

please do not tag any of my liujiu/bingjiu stuff with liushen/bingqiu. those are very different ships to me, which i am personally not a fan of since i don't really like sy as a character.

y'all can have your headcanons that sy and sj are the same person or whatever with your own content, but this is my blog and to me they are two different people; one is my darling baby angel meowmeow and the other is someone i can only tolerate as liujiu's son lmao.

please do respect the wishes of the artists you consume content of ^^

if you don't want to, you are free to block and move on. there are plenty of sy artists out there and you might as well support people whose interests align with yours :)

have a good day!

Today for me is 9/20 which means….

LIUJIU WEEK!!

Why does it look so blurry 😭

Um there will be changes in art styles between each post cause I wanted to try new things each time. The vibe of this post was No Longer You by Jorge Rivera-Herrans

Um idk how to do this lol so here’s a lil blurb of the idea behind this:

Liu Qingge stared at his own body in shock and horror. He had been a never ending pain until he was shocked with the cold. The cold air, the cold robe, and the cold body…

Why did they have to switch? For all he fought with the man he would never had wished death on him. He let Shen Qingqiu’s head drop onto Liu Qingge’s body as tears escaped. That was how they were found later. Whispers spread but Shen Qingqiu stood alone till the end. No matter what Liu Qingge tried. Never knowing who Shen Qingqiu truly is.

Better Quality (maybe)!!!

[achillesuwu]

I just found the citation "To become a god is the loneliest achievements of them all" (twofingerswiskey on tumblr) and let me tell you the RAW need I have to see this in a fanfic.

Idc in what form. give it to me.

I NEED Merlin (post canon or in canon, I DON'T CARE) who says that. I need Arthur talking about that powerful sorcerer, the God of the druid. I need him to ask to Merlin what do he thinks about this potential threat. I need merlin to say something like "if it's true he is a god I do not see why we should worry. If he wants to harm us he would already have done so" "Do you believe it?" "What?" "That he is a god" "I don't know, all I know is that to become a god is the loneliest achievements of them all" I NEED MERLIN PRE-REVEAL WHO TALK ABOUT HIS LONELINESS WITH ARTHUR

I need Luo Binghe who can not ascend and become a god like Shen Qingqiu can because he has demon blood. I NEED SHEN QINGQIU WHO GENTLY HOLD HIS HUSBAND CHEEK AND MURMURS "To become a god is the loneliest achievements of them all" (ofc LBH cries but what's new—)

I need dreamling idc who said this, I need Dream who did not tell Hob about who he is that say it. I NEED DREAM IN THE BEACH DREAMS POST WAKE WHO TELL THIS TO HOB. or OR I NEED HOB WHO REFUSE TO BECOME A GOD WHEN DREAM OFFER IT TO HIM

I DON'T EVEN USUALLY SHIP IT BUT Yue Qingyuan who say that to Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu) because he knows that SJ's cultivation is too broken to allow him to ascend (I usually ship Liujiu but sadly I don't think LQG would ever say something like that— WAIT A MINUTE : LQG BUT INSTEAD OF DYING IN THE CAVE HE DESTROY HIS CULTIVATION COMPLETELY, THEY AREN'T TOGETHER YET AND THE DAY WHERE THE PEAK LORDS ARE MEAN TO ASCEND LQG IS SITTING AT A TABLE AT A RESTAURANT BUT SJ COME AND BEFORE LQG CAN SAY ANYTHING SJ SAYS "To become a god is the loneliest achievements of them all" AND THAT'S IT)

WHAT ABOUT WANGXIAN!?!?! Immortal Yilling loazu, OR IMMORTAL LWJ IN AN AU WHERE WWX CAME BACK CENTURIES LATER, FOR THOSE WHO ARE "IMMORTALITY IS A SAD THING" ENJOYER : WANGXIAN WHO REFUSE TO BECOME IMMORTAL AND DECIDE TO GROW OLD TOGETHER WITH WEI YING WHO LAUGH AND SAY "To become a god is the loneliest achievements of them all, Lan Zhan, I would rather grow old by your side"

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

[devotedbutterfly]

bruh like i saw people online being like “i dislike huayin” and proceeding to like fenglian. and im sitting here like “okkkk and your arguments to hating huayin also apply to fenglian” it’s stupid honestly

ppl really wake up and think “wow polyamory doesn’t exist and i NEED TO HATE ON THIS HARMLESS SHIP and be a hypocrite” like ?????? i myself don’t really care abt huayin(as in it doesn’t give me. dopamine particles but i like qijiu and liujiu. if that counts???) but like do you really feel the need to be an asshole for no fucking reason? literally only posting here online since if i talked about this in the discord server people would probably want my head on a spike

it’s stupid that i have to fear backlash and hatred for TALKING about a ship with two FICTIONAL. FICTIONAL. THEYRE WORDS ON A PAGE. MADE UP characters.

this cool thing called polyamory exists! like im sitting here like. he can love yin yu. AND love xie lian. “huayin wouldn’t make sense cuz he waited 800 years for xie lian” well MAYBE he can also live yin yu AND xie lian??? shocker

sighhhh these people would have qi deviations if they entered the svsss fandom. wish they could do maybe they’d realize that “wow! maybe talking about your dislike and hatred of a harmless ship and demonizing the people who ship that is bad! and immoral! and very assholey and rude!” but alas.

tldr don’t be assholes when you see any ship that has a character that is canonically in a relationship polyamory exists and don’t fight over not liking a (normal, legal)ship over fictional characters

very very real - I’ve thought the same things lol - it doesn’t make sense how ppl r very okay w ships in one fandom of mxtx’s novels but suddenly it’s disrespectful in the others…? Like you don’t see this much hate for other ships w bingqiu as much as you do for hualian (idk anything abt mdzs or the fandom so idk what shipping is like over there but from what I heard from mutuals I assume it’s not that great either lol) thankfully nowadays I’m seeing more tolerance towards shipping Xie Lian w other characters but even then SOME ( NOT all ) of them still turn around and spew hate to other ships w Hua Cheng…? Which..doesn’t make sense…?

Idk the thing that bothers me the most is getting a lotta comments w ppl who have a very big prejudice against polyamory ppl ..I assumed a danmei fandom ,, yknow since it’s a queer book series - the fans would be open minded and stuffff UHHHH but I guess not HSHS - like yesterday I got another comment saying that I was making them hate polyamorous ppl 💀 like ,,, maybe u were never that much of an ally to begin w if all it takes to hate a whole group of ppl is Huayin art .. ? idk man 💀 but uh yah hypocrisy and polyphobia in the mxtx fandoms is very uh.. interesting and fun to deal w first hand 👍👍👍 YAYYY (get me out of here HAHA)

[blackkatmagic]

I entirely agree w the yuan/bingghe squick thing. My fave svss fandom ship is liujiu just bc w of how deeply shen jius backstory stabbed me in the throat- plus how sqh originally planned the story but was pressured into making sj 1d villain.

Anyways- what other danmei do you like? Do you have a favorite? I really love 'heaven official's blessing' and 'ballad of sword and wine', but also DEEPLY obsessed with 'thousand autumns' and 'devil venerable also wants to know'

I really love The Devil Venerable and HOB, and I've recently started Corporate Slave from Another Universe, which is delightful and way better than I expected. Beyond that, I haven't read many - a lot of translations make my brain itch in a bad way, and kind of make my ability to write or read coherent English fall off a cliff.

[toomanyplotbunnies-sendhelp]

Hello and welcome to (the true) Day 14 of "Let's Explore My Plot Bunnies"

Today, my brain decided to be very... resourceful, for the lack of a less polite word, and remake the Cat!Shen Jiu fic from *checks notes* Day 4. Only now, instead of Shen Jiu being the one transformed into a cat, it's Liu Qingge.

The current title for this is "Paw Prints in Your Heart," and I do intend to make it a LiuJiu fic.

The premise is quite simple:

Liu Qingge was injured in his latest mission. He falls unconscious at the base of Cang Qiong Mountain, and, unbeknownst to him, his body turns into that of a cat. Shen Qingqiu is the one that finds the injured tuxedo cat and takes him (he did check; it is a boy) back to Qing Jing Peak for treatment.

When Liu Qingge wakes up, not only does he find himself to be a cat, but also he finds himself in the care of the (surprisingly gentle) person he hates, Shen Qingqiu.

Now, imagine: Cat!Liu Qingge has to stay around the Qing Jing Peak because his paw has a bad injury and ends up being in the same room as Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan have their (admitedly one-sided) argument of the day. And after Yue Qingyuan leaves, Shen Qingqiu, feeling the anger rising, decides to vent to the only creature here that will listen to him and not interrupt - cat!Liu Qingge. So, Shen Qingqiu speaks (read: vents) about his past, about Yue Qingyuan, about all the other Peak Lords, about everything that he can really vent about.

Needless to say, Liu Qingge has a ton of things to think about now with all these revelations.

Then there is the monthly Peak Lord Meeting... at which Liu Qingge is missing. Most of the other Peak Lords don't really find a problem with this as it is well known that Liu Qingge loves to hunt monsters so "he is most likely doing just that" is what they argue. Shen Qingqiu, on the other hand, finds it weird since, as much as that brute annoys him, Liu Qingge doesn't miss the Peak Lords Meeting without announcing beforehand.

And so, Shen Qingqiu starts a one man (and one cat) search party for that idiot brutish shidi of his. Their first destination? The Red Warm Pavillion. If there is anyone who knows where esteemed cultivators can be found based on rumors, it is the Madame of the Pavillion - who is also the most trustworthy source of information Shen Qingqiu can find.

Some details to note:

I feel OG!Shen Qingqiu would prefer cats to dogs, mostly because as an orphan on the streets dogs would fight with you for food (looks at Wei Wuxian), while cats - especially in cold/rainy days - would snuggle with you. Not because they like you, but because they like the body heat you can provide for them.

Cat!Liu Qingge definitely gives Shen Qingqiu a lot of snuggles after he vents to him. Both as an apology and as comfort.

Shen Qingqiu tried to talk with the other Peak Lords about how strange it is for Liu Qingge - of all people - to dissappear without a trace or a letter. The other Peak Lords, unfortunately, ignored him. This is why he takes it in his own hands to find Liu Qingge.

Liu Qingge feels a lot of guilt after he learns more about Shen Qingqiu and about the reasons behind most of his actions. He vows to treat him better once he is back to his human self.

This could either take place before Luo Binghe is on Qing Jing Peak or after - like the first 2 weeks after he was admitted. Either way, the kiddo is chugging vinegar - first because his Shizun likes the cat better than him; second, because by the time Luo Binghe arrives at the sect, Shen Qingqiu has a boyfriend.

So what do you think? Good? Bad? Brain has been on crack for far too long? Let me know!

Honestly, this idea just came to me today - probably 2 hours before I post this, actually. The better way to explain the plot would be "Shen Qingqiu vents to his newly acquired cat about his entire life, without knowing that said cat is actually his shidi, Liu Qingge, whom he doesn't like". There is something special about the whole "venting to an animal that is actually a human cursed/transformed into an animal" trope I see in fics. It's soo damn cute and agsty at the same time. I love it so much.

But enough rambling from me. I hope you have a great day/night and that you take care of yourselves!

See you tomorrow,

I promise you that any anime (or other show but I swear it is mainly animes) with two or more male characters will have an animatic for this song. It just will, of is the natural part of the process of a fandom becoming popular. People know this song even if they think they don't know this song. It is so catchy it eats you from the inside out.

It's legally blonde and a musical which is prine queer culture. Fandom is queer culture. Plus it's a banger song with a lot of fun animatics. A lot of other "fandom" songs are kinda really sad (Two Birds cough cough) and this one is just silly goofy. It's also just the right decision.

There were SO MANY of these back in the day like i swear no m/m fandom ship was immune. Extra points if the character was actually european

look, it's a classic. try and find a fandom without an animatic to gay or european. you could find one for nearly any fandom for multiple characters even. the "i thought you said...best friend" set of lines is used in incorrect quote posts to this day. it's iconic, it's a classic, we all know and love it

Every piece of media has at least one (1) character who is very gay (usually for another) and this song shows that through desperate self denial but they get there eventually. Even now I see new animatics with this song I love so dearly, demonstrating the power of this song and icon Elle Woods. You search up “is __ gay or European” on YouTube and videos from years past and mere moments ago will cover your page.

Animatics with the song:

Demon Slayer Giyuu

Room of Swords

Ace Attorney Miles Edgeworth

Revolutionary Girl Utena

OMORI

Genshin Impact Pantalone

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

Please keep in mind that I don't know all the media and fandoms of the animatics provided as examples and I don't have the time (nor the will) to research them all. Don't come into my notes or my ask box complaining about them being included, I will simply block you. If a ship animatic included is about an adult and a minor, do tell me and I'll take it out of the post

ALSO keep in mind that I don't know all the artists submitted; in fact, even if I do know them I do not know absolutely nothing about them as people (I do not have twitter nor tiktok) and I could not POSSIBLY have the time to research ALL of the artists' controversies and what came of them so PLEASE don't flood my inbox with the artists' entire crime list.

Welcome To My Rose Garden~

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog! This used to be a mainly Shield Hero blog, but, after doing the same thing for more than 4 years now, i've grown a bit bored. So, I decided to change things up a bit.

For those who have stayed for my Shield Hero content, don't you worry your pretty little heads! I still plan to keep making Shield Hero prompts! However, i'll also be making prompts for other fandoms i'm in as well.

Anyway, below are the fandoms I write for along with the ships (List will likely increase over time).

Oh I just realized shen jiu doesn't have an official birthday,, cuz he was a slave qwq when do y'all celebrate it? Or do y'all headcanon he has the same birthday as shen Yuan as part of the sj-is-sy-in-different-worlds theory?

(under the cut, I wouldnt say I'm bashing Sy but I'm not that positive about him so don't read if you like him, I'm just ranting, I am genuinely curious when ppl celebrate sj's birthday lol)

Honestly I don't really like the sj-is-Sy thing tho it makes sense. (sj gets reborn in a diff world without his memories, lives a better life, etc etc)

I just like having shen jiu be his own person. Shen yuan is great and all but man when you think about it, even though he didn't ask for it, he basically stole someone else's life and lived it much better than how the original goods did just because he doesn't have the trauma ogsqq did.

Also speaking of shen yuan, is it canon that he's sickly??? Since so many ppl write in fics about how he was hospitalised a lot in his youth or stuff like that. I really don't remember much from the novel, as you can see XD all I remember is he likes ready trashy novels lol

Man I never really sympathise with the original villain in these transmigrated-into-villain-role stories but ogsqq somehow really pulled on my heartstrings. Like at first I didn't like him too, I always root for the main character (being Sy) and didn't really care whatever happened to the original. But these days I tend to avoid any shen yuan content (unless he's liujiu's son lmao) because idk I find it hard to read about him now lolol.

Anyway, I will stick to my lane of og!sqq content and stay far away from anything that doesn't make me happy, even if it is the main character of the novel himself. This blog is supposed to be my happy place after all, and pretty shen jiu always makes me happy~
