There is at times a (completely understandable!) assumption in SV fandom that "Peerless Cucumber", infamous online commenter, represents Shen Yuan's truest self in a way.

But while I get where that's coming from, I think the narrative of SV ultimately refutes that notion. Peerless Cucumber is the guy who called for Shen Jiu to be punished even worse when PIDW was just a novel, and yet when it's real, he not only wants to avoid that fate for himself, but he also feels more pity & compassion for Shen Jiu too. Peerless Cucumber thought that Luo Binghe's level-up arc was cool, but Shen Yuan doesn't want to put his disciple through that, even knowing that he will come out stronger at the end of it. Peerless Cucumber was deeply mired in the toxic macho heteronormative internet culture at the time, but Shen Yuan is himself a queer person whose suffering is more than incidentally attached to his internalized homophobia.

I think in its way, the Peerless Cucumber persona is as much of a mask as the Shen Qingqiu one. Being vitriolic and petty can be fun, but it isn't a truer version of Shen Yuan, it's just exaggerating different aspects of his personality for a different audience and in a different direction.

Yue Qingyuan: Shang-Shidi, a demon clan is causing some trouble with some minor sects. Can you ask Luo Binghe to look into it?

Shang Qinghua: Sure, he owes me a favor anyway

Liu Qingge: How does someone like you get a demon lord to owe you a favor?

Shang Qinghua: I tell him what Shen Qingqiu likes in bed

Yue Qingyuan: WHAT?!

Liu Qingge: HOW-?

Shang Qinghua: Anyway I'll get right on that

I've met a lot of nice people from this fandom and I'm glad I decided to explore my own identity through Jon and Martin instead of following whatever was fanon but I think the greater fandom as a whole has made me colder and more cynical. For a fandom that seems to desperately want to be seen as open and inclusive, it's ironic that I encountered the worst kind of acephobic ("you're depicting ace people wrong. Ace people should never experience sexual feelings."), racist ("Your Jon is the wrong race./You're drawing pocs wrong. His skin is not dark enough."), and transphobic ("you're not giving Martin dysphoria. All trans people should feel dysphoric or else they're not really trans.") policing just for drawing fanart. I mean, any fandom has its weirdos but I think tma has (or at least had) a high concentration of them.

Anyway, I'm glad I'm used to it now because people on youtube are 100x worse (though I think I can withstand outright bigotry than whatever the hell I experienced in this fandom)

gently grabs you by the chin hey. if an author selects “chose not to use archive warnings” on a fic, they’re allowed. even if you don’t like it or disagree.

Another hot take for the books but when the fuck did ‘radendo’ discourse even become a thing? This didn’t exist like a year ago, at least not at the popularity that it has now.

Willogenic systems fall under the endogenic umbrella whether you like that or not. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but it’s true. I don’t remember there ever being debate about this before, why is it such a hot topic now?

In my opinion, anybody who claims to support endogenic systems but doesn’t support willos is either an anti in disguise trying to stir up discourse, or they’re hopping on a fucking bandwagon.

Seriously guys. You can’t support endos without supporting willos. Get that through your head. Thanks.

Even if it’s filtered somehow there’s no way it’s not still nasty 😭 Bet they can defeat any of their villains just by accidentally giving them diseases I swear

the reason why Luo Binghe and Shen Yuan can't attic wife each other in there house and never leave is that they don't have internet or anything else around to help keep them moving. I think we chalk too much of Shen Qingqiu being a super productive person post transmigration often too much to reading into things and treating his unreliable narration as fact.

But like, what is he supposed to do all if not actually go outside and talk to people and get a job. Luo Binghe needs to do things other than be a housewife for his own sanity so he doesn't cabin fever. He can't live focusing his day around a singular person being in the room its not healthy and would drive him insane. These are not overly productive constantly doing things people. These are people doing things to make sure they aren't malaise slugs feeling nothing in their day to day drudgery.

This is just what a healthy post/pre internet mental state kinda looks like.

dellamorte thoughts

First Talon, as it stands pre-any potential reform, will take everything from you, carve you out until there is no humanity left in your shell of a body. There is no room for anything other than brutality.

Ask Caterina Dellamorte what it took from her, what it left her with. And she'll probably tell you it was worth it. She might also feel a sort of phantom nausea after saying that, though.

That's exactly what Illario was trying to imitate, and maybe sometimes that makes her sick, too.

bringing back an older post of mine below for this:

Buncha little doodles from the past few days~

Including a proper color ref for everyone since I am very inconsistent with colors!

And also me testing out like?? Where would Poptart keep his sword? I tried for a belt sheath but that looked... off..... and now I am just playing with the idea that he can summon it in and out of existence whenever he pleases, so theres a really rough animation for that to get the idea down! Which I think is the idea I am going with!

Apex predator, my ass. I’m going to pet the dog 🐻🐻‍❄️🐼

perhaps now is a good time for some responsible bear programming to remind everyone that as cute and cuddly as they may seem, bears are lethal apex predators and should absolutely be treated accordingly if ever encountered.
