I think Mobei should get carried a bit
As a treat
someone i loved once gave me a box full of darkness
teen lan wangji is boring as shit & all other kids avoid him like the plague except instead of being all anguished pariah about it he's just like good fucking riddance 🙄 and goes to do more activities that would put the average 15 yr old to sleep in 0.4 seconds. autistic bitch of all time.
wangxian is so funny for this too like imagine if you wanted to hang out with the super fun popular kid who gets invited to everyone's parties and has a snapchat streak w all your classmates & he's like sorry i can't i have to obsess over the anthropomorphic personification of the rulebook
my shirt that says “not a danger to myself and others” getting me asked a lot of questions already answered by my shirt
some bitch is binding spirits on my post
#the villain is the reader#more specifically#the expectations of the genre that the readers have#this is true both in world (with sqh's readers driving his plot choices)#and on a meta level of our reader expectations driving the system's criteria for storytelling#the system outright says it 🤷♀️#lol yeah also sqq's reader expectations of the genre driving his blindness to actual people and events#svsss
(via @takethesword)
this is the only correct answer
Also wanna add to this how the system changes punishments when the original punishments stated no longer effectively coerce sqq. Oh, taking away this amount of points still makes you hesitate in throwing your disciple into the abyss? Let’s multiply that by 100. Oh, losing all your points means certain death? Oops, I meant that it means you get A Punishment, instead! Even when sqq wanted to talk to lbh in the water prison, it took away his ability to say what he wanted and instead gave him ANSWER CHOICES!!! Whatever it has to do to get shen yuan to fulfill his role as sqq in the juiciest, most convoluted way possible to net as many readers as possible.
Yes!!! Like, I hesitate to call the System sentient, but it’s clearly capable of adaptive problem solving and can be reasoned with with to some degree, which makes it so much creepier when you think too hard about the implications of its existence!
I’m glad this thread came along since it fixes a problem I’d been working through in my head for a fic

solid 4/10 peak lord with his demon lord husband
amusing myself with a little snippet of SVSSS lore that I may not ever end up using for fic purposes:
In the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, there is a special kind of symbiotic barnacle that grows along rocky beaches, the Bone White Bleached Teeth Barnacle. Its shells are ivory-white and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that are all roughly that of humanoid teeth. With the right techniques, these barnacles can be harvested, shaped and coaxed into acting as tooth implants that are visually and functionally indistinguishable from the human (or demon’s) original teeth.
The reason the Bone White Bleached Teeth Barnacle exists is that Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky really, really liked a particular dramatic turn of phrase in a combat scene where a character would take a punch across the jaw, slowly turn their head to the side and dramatically spit broken teeth fragments onto the ground. In fact he liked it so much and reused this phrase so often that some fans actually made a spreadsheet of how many times it had occurred in the course of PIDW and determined that Luo Binghe had lost at minimum 17 teeth throughout the story.
Airplane argued that Luo Binghe, with his Heavenly Demon nature, can simply regrow teeth at need (as can any of his demon wives.) But there were enough instances where a human wife had teeth punched out and then showed up in a later chapter with a perfectly intact pearly-white smile that he eventually had to cave.
Three chapters after the spreadsheet was posted, Luo Binghe had a dramatic showdown with a storm demon on a beach where it was specifically noted that a colony of Bone White Bleached Teeth Barnacle grew. Noted anti-fan Peerless Cucumber initially pitched a fit about this blatant ass-covering, until someone else in the forum drew a fanart of the scene. The resultant panorama, with thousands and thousands of humanish teeth growing in profusion along the jagged rocks with the roiling dark clouds in the background, was so unsettling that even Peerless Cucumber admitted that it was pretty fucking metal, actually.
see the really fun thing about luo binghe for me is we're taking the established critique of a certain style of protagonist, the guy who goes killing and fucking his way through the world, accumulating victories and treasures and bitches and wreaking deserved vengeance,
the critique of this kind of fuck-emperor (i'm told many centuries established in chinese literature) that he is very clearly miserable.
that you don't live like that unless there's a gaping hole inside you that no amount of sex or power can do anything to fill, and yet you can't find any other way to even patch it over.
and then it's like. okay so why is he like this. does he have another option. the narrative doomed him to this; he is the audience's little toy. he is the audience's collective scream. he is the cycle of abuse made flesh. he is thirteen years old forever. at what point was he still salvageable. could he have ever saved himself.
and the answer to that last one is simultaneously no, he could not, people aren't made to be alone, how can you learn to be good and happy when the world gives you nothing but pain and betrayal; everyone needs a little kindness, sometimes all anyone needs is just a little kindness. but also:
he was always the only person who could.
Ning Yingying has the character development I crave. Goes from having a puppy love crush on the poor little meow meow of a disciple Luo Binghe to literally being mortified that he would call her by her first name. Your fave could never
this is the best fandom ever
I headcanon that both Shang Qinghua and Liu Qingge are considered sexy in the demon realm but in different ways
Because there are like two types that demons fine attractive:
The Schemer: a planner, manipulative, double crosses, stabs you in the back, vicious, murders for fun and profit, probably knows a lot of torture techniques and is creative in their cruelty: the demon equivalent of a twink and Shang Qinghua fits this role very sexily
The Fighter: straight forward, blunt, uses fists over words, stabs you in the face, strong as fuck and always hunting big monsters or getting into fights. The demon equivalent of a bear and that's Liu Qingge (he loses but he loses to Junshang. That he can hold his own is admirable. That he keeps trying is very fun and flirty of him)
Shang Qinghua has no idea he's practically a pin up in the demon realm and that demons are jealous of Mobei because he won Shang Qinghua's heart
Liu Qingge eventually becomes aware that demons at least like him and he's extremely pissed off about it but his angry face just wins him more admirers
It goes without saying that Shen Qingqiu is just some guy to demons who aren't related to Luo Binghe
Like he's fine?
He can hold his own in a fight and is at least knowledgeable but he's just a guy that Junshang is obsessed with for some reason
Like it's fine that Junshang is into him but they don't get it
I know I wonder like once a week about what non scummers think about the most confusing blorbo of all time Shen Qingqiu but rbing that qijiu post made me think like .. LMFAO I ship a lot of things with Shen Qingqiu but not all of them are with the same Shen Qingqiu but also they're all with the same other characters so you'll have ships like cumplane and scumplane which is sqq x Shang Qinghua and sqq x Shang Qinghua and liushen and liujiu which is sqq x Liu Qingge and sqq x Liu Qingge and you can also do sqq x sqq which is shencest (they're not related they're just the same guy except they're not the same guy at all) and also you can add Luo Binghe and Luo Binghe into the equation for Bingqiu which is Luo Binghe x sqq or bingjiu which is Luo Binghe x sqq or bingyuan which is Luo Binghe x s
im eatin g him up as we speak--

thinking about kaveh who needs to get used to let himself be loved, and haitham giving kaveh the time and not overwhelm him, so atp kaveh always gets a lovely flustered mess 🥹💚
Summary: My version of a Kiki's Delivery Service WangXian Au based on this prompt: LWJ is a bakery owner and WWX is the traveling witch who’s sleeping in his attic while running a delivery business for a bit.
Excerpt:
"He thinks you're cute! Did you see his face?" Chenqing's claws dug into his shoulder as the guinea pig dispersed into a shower of energy and shot off into the distance. Wei Ying took off on Suibian in pursuit, reveling at the wind in his hair and the giddy feeling he always got when his broom greeted him first thing in the morning. He patted its handle in return, laughing as its energy shivered with delight beneath him. Shouting over the rush of wind, Wei Ying said to Chenqing, "I think he's cute, too, but that doesn't mean he wants to date me. He's also my boss, so if we're suddenly in a relationship then that's, like, a conflict of interest or something." "He owns the bakery, it's not like it's a corporate business. The rules are different." Chenqing had a good point, as usual, but Wei Ying wasn't about to tell her that and feel obligated to shell out treats for her wisdom. "You know, you only talk to me lately if you're encouraging me to get into Lan Zhan's pants. I thought you were supposed to love me regardless of my relationship status." Chenqing nipped his cheek from her perch on his shoulder and then spoke as though she wanted to roll her eyes, "If I have to feel all of your feelings, then as your familiar, it's my job to encourage you to go after your dreams. And Lan Zhan has been one of those dreams for far too long, Wei Ying. I'm tired of the pining, I'd like to feel something different for once!"
This fic is a gift for @ladypfenix I hope it brings you a little bit of joy

word count !! 2.8k something
"No, it's definitely Outrider Amber, she was the first to ever be favored."
"Are you kidding me? Outrider Amber may be the first, but sir Kaeya was definitely loved. Have you seen the sword he was gifted with?" One growls.
"It's the Acting Grand Master Jean!" Someone slams the table with his beer mug, "Twice was she bestowed with fallen stars of gold."
"I'd say that wolf boy in the woods seem lucky."
"It has to be Bennett. I don't know why but that kid has two crowns! Two!"
"You're all missing out on Miss Lisa!"
"Stop, stop! You rowdy drunks! Every vision holder in Mond has been granted favor, this is just impossible to decide!"
There was a pause. "Well. . . not every." Someone mumbles under their breath.
"Not every? Who's the poor allogene that couldn't even get the Player's favo—" Shushing sounds break his sentence, the men glare at their companion, pointing to the redhead behind the bar.
Yandere!Wanderer x Creator!Reader Idea
word count: 553
warning(s): yandere, obsessive, bratty scaramouche, mentions of violence

—
when creator isekai’s, he’s unlike the others.
Scaramouche doesn’t worship them and he doesn’t treat them like they’re some all-knowing being.
Creator, surrounded by obsessive archons and acolytes, finds his behavior refreshing.
They don’t have to live up to anybody’s expectations when he’s around and he treats them like how he treats everyone else.
Because he was their main, creator had already gotten used to his bratty lines and doesn’t get offended by him
Instead they’re more appreciative of him. They begin to treat him kindly and with special treatment
At first, creator’s attention is nothing but bragging rights to him. It’s just something that feeds his ego since he’s finally the best at something. While all the other’s worship them, he doesn’t even have to try and he’s the favorite of the beloved creator.
But as he stays by the creator’s side, him being affection and touch starved, starts to truly appreciate and crave their attention.
To the point where if they ever call for another acolyte for some trivial tasks, he feels his heart drop in his chest and throws a fit
Anything they could ever need or want, he will be the one to provide it. Creator has no purpose in calling for anyone else.
Creator claims it’s to not burden him but he insists he’ll be more burdened by the others’ presence than to do the task for them. The only task he’ll refuse is going somewhere too far that’ll require him being away from them for too long.
If they ever go anywhere without telling him, he’ll freak out at the thought of them abandoning him and won’t stop till he finds them
he’s the type to curse and scream at the creator when this happens. Should his actions be ever witnessed by the other acolytes, he’d be hunted for blasphemy
Imagine creator becomes homesick.
They tells him stories of their family/friends and how much they miss them. Even though he appreciates them telling him of their previous world, he feels jealous of creator’s family/friends. He always tries to change the subject and tries to remind them of the beauty of Teyvat so they’ll stop missing their previous world.
But then he finds out that they’ve been searching for a way to return to their world and he literally breaks down (refer to the pic hehe)
he’ll destroy all of their research before searching all throughout teyvat destroying any potential information regarding how to return to their world
BUT when he returns, they have somehow managed to succeed and had already left
He’d literally go INSANE
He’d destroy all of their temples and statues in a tantrum
But when he’s done and (somewhat) calm, he’ll regret everything.
He’ll try to follow them back to their world but can’t find any information since he destroyed it all
He’ll miss them and want to see them again but he destroyed all of their temples and statues so he doesn’t have much to comfort himself with
i imagine him kneeling in front of their demolished statue praying to them for the first time ever, to come back :,(
if he somehow discovers creator’s method to go back, it’ll be their turn to pray because once he meets the beloved family/friends creator went back for or “made creator abandon him”, he’s getting rid of them all
