• He's once again on his bullshit of believing everything is his fault and that he needs to fix everything.

•He went into The Lonely because he was trying to run away from his problems, because he felt powerless and helpless in the face of powers and creatures he could't possibly comprehend. But he escaped The Lonely so that could face his problems head on with the man he loved, he doesn't want to run away from anything anymore...... except for Jiang Cheng of course, he'll keep running away from Jiang Cheng.

•He's trying so hard to gently reconnect with his nephew without coming across as a suspicious dude who just happens to care a lot about his and his friends safety.

•Little Apple is a skeleton horse from minecraft in this au, cuz cool bone horse

Y'know, forget the top-bottom or the redblack/coolwhite divide, I think the two who would get along best out of all the MXTX mains would be Shen Yuan and Hua Cheng

Shen Yuan: I was revived into my second life by virtue of my fanatical devotion to my favorite person and my seething hatred of the oceans of unworthy people around him who failed to properly respect how awesome he is

Hua Cheng: You. You get it.

I cannot find the Tweet again but I once read something like "Fandom is the only thing you have and you're not even having fun" on a quote retweet of fandom drama and I have thought about it daily ever since

NOOOOOO WHYYYYY

The Locked Tomb Series Summary:

The “Lesbian Necromancers in Space” book series

Clear and Muddy Loss of Love Summary:

A natural moat called the Luo river split the great land into two. Jing of the north, and Wei of the south.

One was the Prince of the grass plains who had no worries nor sorrow. One was a lawful Princess who received exclusive favour of the Emperor.

A war turned the Prince of the grass plains into an orphan, she who had laid dormant for ten years had originally planned to become a sycophantic official, to manipulate the enemy kingdom into chaos, but was appointed as Fuma at the Chionglin banquet.

Wait and see, how this debt of grudge from a fallen kingdom and devastated home will be settled.

Shen Jiu is an abuser. Shen Jiu abused Luo Binghe and (depending on how you interpret certain parts of the novel) most likely others. He was a profoundly unpleasant person to be around by his own doing, not just some poor misunderstood baby.

Just because he didn’t murder Liu Qingge or sexually abuse NYY doesn’t mean that he was innocent of everything. Especially not his abuse of LBH which is a fundamental part of SVSSS’s story— about cycles of abuse and how someone’s life experiences can shape them in different ways.

Learning about Shen Jiu’s backstory humanizes him. It explains his actions and how he got to where he was.

It does not, and should not excuse him.

Humans can be both abuser and victim. That’s how the cycle of abuse fundamentally works.

I love Shen Jiu. He’s one of my favorite characters of all time. He’s still an abuser.

You can feel sorry for him, but don’t make him innocent. He knew what he was doing. He did it intentionally. He wanted to spite LQG, he wanted to hurt LBH, to destroy his cultivation and even his life.

Shen Jiu is a brilliant portrayal of a truth people are afraid of— that sometimes survivors are not inspirational. Sometimes they’re mean. Sometimes they’re bad people. Sometimes they carry the worst parts of their abusers with them because that was what they feared, and if others feared them then they would have the control they so desperately needed.

Shen Jiu is not a one dimensional villain who is evil for the sake of it. He’s a human character with complex reasons for being the way he is, and a traumatic upbringing he didn’t choose or have any control over.

He’s still an abuser.

Hua Cheng, after Wu Ming: "When faced with any problem, I only have to ask myself 'What would Second White No-Face Xie Lian do?' I will completely base my personality and moral code on this question, as an act of devotion. When next I meet Dianxia, we will be a perfect match."

Hua Cheng: becomes the Great Feared Calamity Ghost King

Hua Cheng: meets regular Xie Lian, just a very nice guy

Hua Cheng:

Hua Cheng: "Shit"
