For Scum Villain fandom specifically I have to say that the deciding factor in whether I adopt a headcanon or not is whether I think it's funny.

Do I think Shen Yuan was ill in his first life? Yes, because I think it's extremely funny if he was ill in his first life, got a brand new life with superpowers (cultivation) and boosted health, and then immediately got slapped with another fucking chronic illness (Without-A-Cure.) I think that is the funniest sequence of events and thus the correct one.

Do I think that Shen Yuan was on the very low end of his twenties, barely college-age, when he transmigrated? Yes, because I think it's hilarious if the rest of the Peak Lords have unknowingly been "shixiong"ing a fuckin sophmore

And lastly, do I think that Shen Jiu never went to the brothels for sex and ultimately died a virgin? Yes, because that sets the stage for SY!SQQ to later trip over some kind of virginity-detecting critter or plant (you KNOW the PIDW setting has to have these somewhere, c'mon), not even knowing that it's something he has to think about avoiding, and whoops getting outed as a virgin in front of the entire cultivation world, and that would be hilarious

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS SEAL THEIR FATES IN THEIR FIRST SCENES!!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS' GREATEST TRAITS ARE ALSO WHAT DOOM THEM IN THE END!!!!!

wow that's a nice inflexible honour code you've got there. i can't wait to see it broken under immense pressure, and you along with it.

Yeah I saw the lovecraftian horrors and didn’t succumb to madness. What- no I’m not a cultist, James. For Christ’s sake. What you’re forgetting my friend is that HP Lovecraft wasn’t a flexible man. His brain simply wasn’t stretchy enough to take it all in. I however, have short term memory issues. Flexibility is the name of the game when you can’t remember if you ate lunch or not. What’s the size of the universe? Big. You knew that already, James. Come on now. You don’t need to witness the terrifying ocean at the base of the entirety of reality itself to know that. Pass the brandy.

Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai

Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward

(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)

Ok am I, stupid or do a fair portion of the lyrics to Kiss From A Rose just not make any sense at all

No but the questions are hilarious. Someone else please try this!

shen qingqiu would kill it in academia. his thesis would be called like “vicious acquisition: a marxist interpretation of proud immortal demon way” and his advisor would look SO sad when he proposed it but it would slay absolute penis

i actually really love the idea that his pupils, specifically, are a brighter blue - because it implies that the "light," so to speak, is being literally produced from inside his eyes, rather than being a part of the iris. that's such a good fucking image!

Exposing SVSSS Fanon: 13/∞

MOBEI-JUN HAS BLUE EYES

Rating: CANON

Mobei-jun's blue eyes are one of his most striking features both in official art and fanworks alike. Aside from Luo Binghe's black (and sometimes red) eyes, Mobei-jun's eye color is the one most frequently mentioned in canon.

They are first described as blue when he appears at the edge of the Endless Abyss during the conference:

Sensing this shocking change, a cold flash of interest shot through Mobei-Jun’s pale blue eyes. (7 Seas, Ch. 4)

Most of the mentions of his eyes come from the Airplane Extras, which is a neat parallel-- considering the fact that Shen Qingqiu often mentions LBH's eyes in his frequent praising of his future love interest, it only makes sense that Shang Qinghua would do the same in his own narration.

There is a slight bit of ambiguity here, where it could be read that Mobei-jun's eyes are not always blue, but only flash blue at certain points:

Mobei-Jun sneered, an ice-cold glint of blue flashing through his eyes. Mobei-Jun sat straight up on the bed, eyes shining with blue light like an overcharged battery about to explode. (7 Seas, Ch. 26)

These descriptions are intense, describing the light from his eyes as blue, rather than his eyes themselves, however, the earlier passage states that his eyes are blue, as does the following:

Half-dreaming and half-awake, he seemed to see Mobei-Jun’s eyes open. Icy-blue pupils were bright and cold under the moonlight, like a pair of magnificent and eerie chrysoberyls. (7 Seas, Ch. 26)

Interestingly here, "pupils" (瞳孔） are what is being described as blue, and not irises (虹膜）while the passage from chapter four is just describing the eye color overall, however, the term isn't necessarily so precise and I do believe it can refer to the entire colored portion of the eye when used in this context.

The color his eyes are described as is 蓝色，which is a true blue color, often associated with sky-blue (and also the same character as the surname Lan from MDZS for those interested). More specifically, his eyes are described as 微蓝 and 冰蓝 （literally "slightly blue" and "ice blue").

I personally imagine the color to look a bit like the following:

In the last quote, they are described as looking like chrysoberyl (specifically, 猫眼 "cat's eye") which has this appearance:

So this could potentially also lend support to drawing him with lighter-colored pupils and darker blue irises.

Since Mobei-jun's eyes are both described as blue themselves, as well as flashing with specifically blue light, my conclusion on the matter is that Mobei-jun has blue eyes which have a bit of luminescence to them and light up even further when he is angry.

Nie Mingjue has certain blindspots in life due to the power and priviliege he was born to, and also that same power and priviliege is what dooms him to a violent early death. When self-preservation was never an option, it makes him less open to explanations about why someone just had to do a morally sketchy thing to save their own life. It's not even that he doesn't understand it's that he fundamentally disagrees on whay the consequences should be. His sense of justice is so rigid that his solution to JGY killing his men is that he will kill JGY and then kill himself to atone.

I've seen some people question whether he actually would, when that's the whole point of his character? Like...first off no one would really expect him to do this, and secondly this would make life objectively worse for everyone, especially the people NMJ is obligated to? Now Nie Huaisang(with or without a core) is thrust into leadership grieving and unprepared and without even a san-ge to lend a hand. Xichen's busy grieving both men and running his own sect. The ghosts of the Nie disciples in that throne room are shrieking at zongzhu to STOP RIGHT NOW. Even Meng Yao does not want this, given that he didn't save Mingjue's life for this!! The literal only person this benefits is Jin Guangshan. But NMJ has a firm belief in sticking to your guns and accepting the consequences. In the same scene that he argues against Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen for half heartedly speaking for the Wen, he praises Mianmian's backbone in refusing to take back her words and choosing to leave her sect in defense of a man he believes to be evil, because he respects her convictions. The way Certain People On Here write him you think he'd be painting the walls with her blood for daring to speak out of turn or whatever, but instead he respects her even though he thinks she's completely wrong.

i am not the first person to say this but the way svsss fanfic writers write the most horrendous wife plots and fuck-or-die bullshit and then blame shang qinghua for their existence will never not be funny
