Shang Qinghua: Who's my precious baby girl!

Mobei-Jun: Me.

Shang Qinghua: Uh, my king, I was talking to our daughter

Mobei-Jun: Oh...

Mobei-Jun, to their daughter: Listen here you little shit, if you think you can come to MY kingdom and steal MY title then you got another thing coming to you!

Shen Qingqiu: Who's my little white lotus!

Luo Binghe: Me, Shizun!!

Shen Qingqiu: Uh, Binghe, I was referring to our son

Luo Binghe: Oh...

Luo Binghe, placing their son inside a basket on the Luo River: It's time we go our separate ways. It's not you, it's me, but it's mostly you. Stay away from my Shizun

Hi I have caught up to you on having feelings about Zhuzhi-Lang. He's a good boy! 🥺 Good snake boy! 🥺 I had the thought, after Zhuzhi let SQQ leave after SQQ yelled at him... what if they Stole Him. What if.

(Also have you read/been recommended anything by corduroyserpent yet? Big writer of Zhuzhi-Lang fics, including a very cute de-aged Zhuzhi-Lang and some zhushen)

Justifications of bride-stealing!

(AND HE'S THE BEST BOY 😭 I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, SO MUCH!! have some further au thoughts because this has contaminated my brain...)

What I think would actually happen if they stole SQQ? Absolutely nothing good for anyone, LBH would Lose His Fucking Mind xD as a more interesting answer though, I like the idea that Shen "Pedantic Nitpicky Asshole" Qingqiu's primary point of argument is that he is not a bride so he cannot be "bridenapped" regardless of demonic tradition or intention!

This eventually leads to them all completely avoiding the Maigu Ridge incident because TLJ realizes that, somehow, SQQ doesn't realize the depths of his son's feelings for him and decides to put all his efforts into being a wingman for his nephew instead because he finds the entire thing absolutely hilarious and rather satisfying after his own sad romance. Obviously someone like SQQ would do much better with his good, loyal nephew than the disappointing offspring of that disastrous relationship!

As for ZZL he just has to assume that LBH must not be treating SQQ anywhere near the way he should be (and like... he isn't wrong at this point, there is a non-zero amount of torture and terror going on here) if SQQ doesn't see himself as being tied to LBH in any way. And if he's not attached to LBH then there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't make his own efforts to seduce SQQ! After all, if LBH isn't valuing SQQ properly then obviously ZZL has to step up because someone as kind as SQQ deserves the best!!!

Let's just pray that big-ass door holds long enough for us to get help.

sqh/tlj is objectively sooo funny bc i feel like in a friendship they’re very much on the same page and vibe frequency but i think trying to get past that into romance would just be funny asf. like how do u flirt with someone who u routinely regularly digested varying levels of the nastiest sloppiest outrageously ridiculous smut with? does tlj try to mimic the things sqh writes and sqh is just like wow so that’s how it looks irl 😮‍💨 or when tlj pulls out CRAZY lines sqh is like oh my god can you say that again i want to write that down it was bars???? or do u guys think tlj like tries to baby trap sqh like a normal person

stewing and fermenting on whether i want a full on lesbingqiu legally blonde au where sy transmigrates into vivian(and this is how we could have made legally blonde all lesbians) and decides to quit undermining binghelle in all their classes/supports her during the trial completely, but is very confused over how long it's taking for binghelle to woo her shit fiance back. meanwhile binghelle is wondering when the girl who rescued her from a shit engagement is going to realize that she's trying to do the same and whisk them off to go live in the hamptons after being successful career women with entire courtrooms worshipping at their feet

or leaning hard into the scum professor/lawyer!sy who is fucking fighting for his life trying to keep his precocious young student from pursuing him in the middle of this huge TELEVISED TRIAL binghe PLEASE, this professor slash lawyer has a murder case to win without damaging his reputation or muddying the jury with another scandal!!! why aren't you trying to win back your stolen love interest!?! nevermind how stupid that guy is, you definitely deserve better than him, and clearly your classmates are smart but also very mean to you. actually nvm don't even think about dating while you're still in my class. let this old man help set you up with a nice man after you've graduated. what do you mean I'm the nice man!?!

[airplanelanding]

sometimes i do like to imagine tlj watching his son and seeing his ability to "manipulate" his spouse w tears (they all know sqq lets him and it's some little routine they have to get sqq to feel allowed to indulge his desires) and then later standing in front a bronze mirror after out of pure curiosity and trying it himself, before cringing and tossing the mirror aside, glad no one else saw bc wow he can Not pull that off the same way his son can and su xiyan definitely would've laughed him out of bed if he ever tried.

(it takes him a while to realize, but one night he wakes up from a dream, haunted, staring at the ceiling with the terrible realization — he's the SQQ in this situation, not the Binghe. It's SXY's features that make it appealing, not his own.)

When playing veilguard I though I sort of liked it while playing, maybe a 6/10. But the longer it's been the more I actively dislike it? I don't even really know why exactly but there was barely anything memorable. It's just fodder to me. No replay value at all. I've put over 300 hours in it trying to make the game different but even without the da keep it's just so limiting. Nothing matters. Looking back on it I'd have to adjust my score to a 3/10. Doesn't help that I find Rook the most insufferable protag I ever had the displeasure of playing as. What a shallow unfunny child. I don't I'll ever play a new bioware game again.

agreed instead of marinating in my brain like a juicy, complexly flavored steak (or tofu) that truly ripens and deepens with time, it has rotted and soured the longer it sits. the artbook showing us what could have been didnt help

I was drawing Rey and Kylo Ren to practice and explore my style on them....

....and I noticed a very interesting tiny detail in Kylo's clothes.

Remember how in this shot it kinda looks like he's wearing a very short skirt, and it's slightly longer at his back?

I wanted to replicate that, so I took a closer look at the direction of the fabric and the way it is tailored, and indeed....

....the lines are not straight, like on his upper back, but are tailored at an angle and go down towards the middle.

You can also barely see it here if you zoom into the picture.

That's it. That's the post.

i think an au where cumplane raises binghe would fix me actually. Not binghe though, definitely not him lmao

[orions-shiny-belt]

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

xuan su's first and last words being a call for "yue qi" from a victory over that juvenile & the ling xi caves' poor trick -> to a desire to protect the child it's begrudgingly grown fond of Can anyone hear me. hello.

Every once in a while I remember that Rian Johnson invented Rose Tico because he originally had Finn (child soldier who was brought up with propaganda and any attempts at identity stomped out recently escaped the people that enslaved him) and Poe (child of the New Republic, grew up in peacetime) at Canto Bight together and saw no potential for conflict or real difference between them. And then I stare into the distance and contemplate what could have been.

me, insane: okay but consider tianlang-jun as a guest disciple at yunmeng jiang. tlj, a talented disciple of mysterious origins who gets along with all the aunties and uncles at lotus pier and flirts with girls and reads shitty romances, all done up in black and red.

he is not wei wuxian.

a little too carefree, a little too frivolous, a little too interested in theater and music and stories. the differences are there.

but so is the resemblance. it's noticeable. this bright, laughing boy, strong and fearless, easily poking fun at everything and everyone, including - especially? - sect leader jiang.

it's very easy to take one look at him and go: ah. a replacement.

which is why i think it would be HILARIOUS for wwx to come in and go HEY JIANG CHENG ARE YOU REPLACING ME?????

"bl should have more female characters that aren't just stuck in there to try to break up the main couple" Tianlang Jun is literally RIGHT THERE.
