I think the thing I find most frustrating about swd and the fandom’s perception of the fate switching is he is such a victim or narrative circumstance. Because if hx wasn’t as loved as he is, if swd and sqx were lovers instead of brothers, if swd had a more likable personality, etc etc etc no one would say that his actions weren’t justified. Like there is nothing anyone could say to convince me that if Hua Cheng did for Xie Lian what swd did for sqx the entire fanbase wouldn’t call it tragically romantic instead of monstrous.
Hi! I have started drawings on dakimakura with Shi Wudu , but unfortunately this order was canceled. I could finish them if you support me on my https://boosty.to/oliverplague or hipolink.me/oliver_plague/tips ^^
I heavily dislike categorizing complex characters into black or white scales. There are more interesting ways to look at a character, to understand their pain and motivations, their trauma and their convictions, to sympathise with them without justifying their crimes.
It's just my personal opinion but I don't think anyone in the Blackwater arc is "morally correct". They are all driven by what they think is right. They are all just...awfully Human.
I felt awful for Shi Qingxuan throught the arc. During the climax of the arc, when the final confrontation begins, his wounds are still fresh and there's this strange sort of innocence--or rather child like quality to his words. Like a baby taking its first steps and falling down hard, scrapping its knees and wailing. Like a baby bird venturing outside of its nest for the first time without its mother's protection, scared to know the world outside... And tragically being plucked from the sky by larger bird.
There's bizarre humanity, a raw pain behind his words and actions. Even though what he's doing is probably going against his own morals. It's also ironic, he held Pei Xiu accountable for his actions, pei xiu who's actions were also driven by his deep care for Banuye and crticized Pei Ming who wanted to protect his kin. And now... He can't do the same when its his own brother.
Why? Because he loves his brother. Despite everything... He loves his older brother.
I can't blame him, no matter what... I can't bring myself to blame him. Sometimes love makes us do things that goes against what we know is right.
He had just learned of the truth, that his life was built upon an innocent man's fate. He had just learned that his dearly beloved protector had gone to inexcusable lengths to give him the best life he possibly could.
Despite all the pain, blood, suffering and lies... He loves his brother more than anything else in the world. There lies no being in the heaven, hell or earth that he loves more than Shi Wudu. That alone makes him go against everything he knows is right...
This is not an analysis, this is my thoughts and maybe love for Shi Qingxuan. I have nothing more to add, atleast for now.
إنَّ الصلاة هي قرة عيون المحبيبن كم أخبر بذلك إمام المصلين وخاتم المرسلين وسيد ولد آدم أجمعين .
فعن أنس بن مالك رضى الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «حُبِّب إليَّ الطِّيب, والنساء, وجعلت قرة عيني في الصلاة» (قال الشيخ الألباني: صحيح, ينظر: صحيح سنن النسائي) وقرة العين كناية عن الفرح والسرور, فأخبر صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه حبب إليه شيئان : الطيب, والنساء, ثم قال وجعلت قرة عيني في…
(ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Shibl, may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger ﷺ said: “Indeed, the merchants are al-fujjār (ie: the wicked)!”
وَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ التُّجَّارَ هُمُ الْفُجَّارُ»
It was asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Has not Allah made trade lawful?”
قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَوَلَيْسَ قَدْ أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ؟
He replied, “Yes! But when they speak, they lie, and when they swear, they sin.”
قَالَ: «بَلَى، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يُحَدِّثُونَ فَيَكْذِبُونَ، وَيَحْلِفُونَ، وَيَأْثَمُونَ»

Divus Crewel and K. Fairy Gala~ Flower and moonlight
Well I forgot to put their part.....Hmmmmm....it's just I have so many things I also want to show you....
Okay so here the lore origin's story about K ability to sew and create outfits. Yes the rabbit was Mister Crewel's apprentice at some point in her life!
During this special fairy gala, Mister Crewel was asked by the fairy (tiny fairies not Briar Valley) kingdom to provide some fashion show, and wonderful outfits! And as good exchange benefits, Divus took K for sewing's help and let Sam go to the Gala (since K is Sam's familiar).
The whole plot is actually based on Dior Autumn collection 2020/21~
The bessssssttttt with the tarot collection! And Versailles one.........................

inspired by the Audio Drama, I always wondered what kind of conversation went down between the Shi Brothers when when Shi Qingxuan woke up from passing out at his place of ascension?
I doubt it was pretty
Shi Wudu did what he could to keep Shi Qingxuan safe but does Shi Qingxuan see if it was worth it?
I felt that this song went very well for the both of them
