A small side dose of Sins! This would take place right after RadioApple Week Day 3 “Deal.”
I’m gonna need to make a master post at this rate. I’ve got at least ten more “episodes,” five of which are drafted, and one is four pages - not panels, PAGES - long!
I love reading all your comments and tags - thank you all so much for your support of this silly comic series! ❤️

I imagine Shen Jiu still had urges to brawl after he joined Cang Qiong, but since he was doing his best to embody untouchable immortal, he couldn't really just throw hands so uncouthly.
So, Shen Jiu joins an underground fighting ring.
When he sneaks out it isn't always to rest with the sisters at the WRP; sometimes he needs to work out the aggression that seems to continually be straining for release.
The earnings from the matches go to the jiejies at the Warm Red Pavilion, seeing as you don't make a lot of money as a Disciple, even if you are Head Disciple.
The ring is gritty, and violence is truth there. There isn't the untainted and elevated Shen Qingqiu, or the used and bruised Shen Jiu, he's simply another gladiator among equals.
So, imagine his horror when his idiotic sect siblings find him, engaged in a match, and he cannot even stop to do damage control. If you stop in a match, it's because you lost to the point of unconsciousness, you decided to yield (disgraceful) you won, or you stopped breathing.
As for the entirety of his life, there was only one option he was willing to accept.
So he fights.
And he prays.
That his opponent, a fine fighter, skillful and admirable, decides this once to yield.
He needs the match to end quickly, but that last thing he plans to do is kill a man while his sect siblings gazes burn into his back. And his opponent was quite enjoyable to fight, he'd like to do it again.
The fight drags.
They clash, close and far, ebbing and flowing like a tumultuous tide.
His opponent will not abate.
His sect siblings look like they're about to cause an irreparable stir. He needs to do something. He will not let them take this from him.
Every second the blows continue to land the outcome gets grimmer.
All the concerns he left behind, the concerns of Shen Qingqiu, the wounds of Shen Jiu, batter him now.
He can simply find another ring, start again.
There is no issue except dealing with his sect siblings.
Starting over again won't be hard.
He takes a knee.
"I yield."
It's quiet.
Those who know this man as a simple arena fighter are flabbergasted, this vicious fighter never yielding, his only losses due to heinous injuries.
Those who know Shen Qingqiu are shocked, watching him gracefully forfeit a match, wondering if perhaps it's merely a feint, that he'll strike out like a viper to wrest the victory into his own hands.
Those who know Shen Jiu, do not understand, and they worry.
Amidst this, the man kneels.

How do you think cass is like as a big sister? Considering she’s like the second oldest sibling in the batfam
I think her big sistering is VERY dependent on the sibling. The person she's the best older sibling for is probably Duke, given that she's had the most time getting used to being a sister, and they have the most drama-free and cute relationship. She adores him and fully embraces her role as his older sister, and he adores her in return!
Tim is the second best sister-brother relationship. They didn't start out as siblings which makes some of their early interactions... um... un-sibling-like (see Tim's reaction to her in Babs' Batgirl suit), but after that initial bump they get along very well and trust each other implicitly (see Batgirl (2008) and Red Robin (2009)). She's not exactly an older sister to him, though, since they act much more like equals; and their differing opinions on Bruce/Batman sometimes drive a wedge between them. Very sibling-coded to argue over your dad, though.
Damian is a bit weird for her. He has a lot in common with her, but in some ways their experiences are complete opposites - he was raised to think of himself as important, while Cass was raised to think of herself as a tool. In Gates of Gotham, Cass does earn Damian's trust, but she doesn't really wanna deal with him and explicitly is like 'yeah Tim he's your problem'. I think they avoid each other, honestly, and when they do interact it's cordial but not close. She doesn't do much big sistering for him and they're both fine with that.
Last but not least is our favourite dead boy Jason Todd. Cass definitely lords her 'older' status over him, but not her 'sister' status so much; they are the least close to each other of maybe any pairing in the Batfam. They are also two of the most abrasive personalities in the family, so besides the morality stuff they just don't like each other. The 'big sistering' here is more of the insults, snide comments, fist-fighting variety. Duke is the only person both would hold a truce for, and that is very tenuous.
So overall she's like a 5/10 older sister, which is honestly impressive for someone who spent the majority of her life heavily isolated. If you asked her four younger brothers if she was a good sister, Duke and Tim would say yes, Damian would say she's okay, and Jason would tell you to go to hell.
