SHEN QINGQIU WEARS A CINNABAR MARK ON HIS FOREHEAD

Rating: FANON-NEUTRAL

Many artworks, both fanworks and official art, will depict Shen Qingqiu with a red dot or vertical line in the center of his forehead. While this is not something that is mentioned in the novel, it is not something that would necessarily be unlikely.

Oftentimes in visual coding in guzhuang (ancient costume) dramas, a cinnabar mark on the forehead, over the location of the third eye (this is different than the huadian I discussed a bit in this post), will represent a person with strong spiritual powers or connection to the spiritual realm, especially when used for male characters. It also denotes a particular wealth and status-- basically, meaning that this person is someone powerful and important in cultivation society. Whether there is actual historical precedence to this, or if it is a purely modern aesthetic phenomenon, I am not entirely certain. If anyone has more details or sources on historical precedence for this depiction, please share those!

Cinnabar/vermillion also has a long history of auspicious significance in Chinese culture, both in regards to wealth and status as well as being used for religious or spiritual purposes in ancient Daoist tradition. To this day, vermillion red is still one of the most auspicious colors in Chinese culture, especially used in weddings and at new year's festivities.

Therefore, while it may or may not be historically accurate, because PIDW and SVSSS are novels written during modern times and with modern visual perceptions, it would not be out of the question for Shen Qingqiu to wear such a mark.

As for the common depiction in fanworks, my hypothesis as to the origin of the use of this visual signifier for Shen Qingqiu specifically is the official Thai cover art, which is one of the main influences of fandom portrayal, and depicts Shen Qingqiu with such a mark on his forehead, though I wouldn't be surprised if it were common before that release as well.

Sometimes in fanworks, the presence of a vermillion mark will be used to show a difference between Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan-- with Shen Jiu wearing the mark, while Shen Yuan does not. Personally, I think that this may be more of a visual distinguisher than anything else, but it also would make sense with symbolic design-- with Shen Jiu's character traits of placing high value on his cultivation and also portraying himself as someone of high status, it would make sense for him to wear such a mark while Shen Yuan, who takes those things for granted, does not. It would also make sense for both of them to wear it, as Shen Yuan does still like to portray himself that way, even if his concern about his image comes from a different source than Shen Jiu's. It would also make sense for neither of them to wear a cinnabar mark, if an artist chooses to simply not use this visual signifier.

The only characters actually mentioned in the novel as having any sort of forehead mark are the heavenly demons. Therefore, while Shen Qingqiu's cinnabar mark may be a solid visual depiction, there is no support for or against it in canon.

vere cosplay progress:)

[lesbianchemicalplant]

starting to see posts about misogyny coercing women to engage in makeup/shaving/etc. and punishing us if we don't—which is true and horrific—but I'm starting to see posts about it referring to women's “natural state”, “default state”, “unaltered bodies”, “mutilating our bodies”, etc.

for the love of god please think for five seconds about why appealing to a presocial, transhistorical, Unaltered Natural Body is not good ground to stand on 💀

(hint: “trans people are mutilating the Natural Default State of their bodies beyond recognition” is a staple of transphobia)

okay, don’t get me wrong, I love the part-scam part-demon not-at-all-human design for Hermie.. but before the new episode comes out and we (hopefully) learn more about this scammer, I needed to get out this concept of just,, complete background-character Hermie. 

Something something Herman not knowing who he is so he adopts characters so he can be more interesting and note’worthy’ something something wanting to be seen because he’s always felt invisible something something. idk
