Also, if you don't mind me asking (again), what do you think are Shen Yuan and Luo Binghe's greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic? Sorry if you've answered these questions before.....

Okay that would take FOREVER so I'll just do my top 5 fav characters and my fav scenes with them

5. Ning Yingying - she's sooo silly... it was so wonderful being introduced to her and seeing her as a dumb airhead who unknowingly gets people in trouble (the pendant incident) and watching her overtime become someone responsible.

OKAYYYY QUEEN i just know she would run Qing Jing peak like it's the navy.. Also very important to me that although she gets serious when the time calls for it, her personality still has remnants of that silly girl we were first introduced to (for example during the return to childhood extra where she assumes a grown ass child is Shen Yuan's baby)

4. Original Luo Binghe

i could spend HOURS talking about how tragic his life was but honestly my reason for liking him as a character is really simple. He gets horny for people who are nice

The fact that he knew the original goods for YEARS and then Shen Yuan gave him cuddles and Bingge went "wait actually Shen Qingqiu is kind of hot??" Real as fuck . I just know after he returned to his world it was like

Bingge: you would be sexier if you were sweet and kind

Sha Hualing: im sorry do you KNOW who you're asking this of

3. Shang Qinghua is... way too real. I feel like everyone can relate to him, especially with how terrible the world is right now. He can't do anything to go against the plot he himself wrote. He's the painful mixure of "if only I had done that differently" and "I can't do anything at all" that everyone experiences.

Moments like this, such as Shang Qinghua interrupting Bingqiu's honeymoon really make his character even more tragic. Without Mobei-Jun, he doesn't really have a place to go... he didn't take the offer to return to his homeworld because there was no one waiting for him there. Even when he's having dinner with his friend, he knows he can't ask for more because sticking around would annoy Binghe. Just kind of wandering around alone and seeing other people be happy together and have a place to go sucks ://

2. My second favourite scene and my second favourite character: Luo Binghe

This scene really made me love SVSSS because it's so rare to find media where characters are actually allowed to be human and insecure. Like I know we call Binghe manipulative and toxic (and he is!) but EVERYONE has at some point in their life felt like they hate them self and no one loves them.

The fact that Luo Binghe has these emotions and they're relevant to the plot is so special to me. It's so disillusioning when a character goes through trauma after trauma and it's never talked about. Binghe going "shizun I hate myself and I want to end the world about it" was just.. *chef's kiss*

My favourite scene byfar: Shen Yuan hugging Binghe in Shen Jiu's memories

I think this was the final nail in the coffin for making me love Shen Yuan.

For all that he insists, "I'm just farming points so the protagonist won't kill me!" when he's put in a situation like this, he's more loving than ever. He can't touch Binghe, but all he wants to do is wipe his tears. It pains him so much to see his dear disciple hurt and vulnerable that he can't do anything but kneel down and try to hug an image of the past. He knows Binghe can't hear him but still tries to comfort him.

"Shizun will never hit you again." is a line that absolutely makes me go crazy, because Shen Yuan was never the one who hit Binghe, that was the original goods. He doesn't care if Binghe knows that it wasn't him who hurt him. All he cares about is making sure Binghe knows it will never happen again, and that Shen Yuan will love and protect him.

It goes deeper than that anon

Hey family, we are back at it again with wanting to spend as much time as i can with my daughter who has complex trauma and health issues just like me while also making time to study to escape from this situation while also being forced to do sw cos there's just no alternative that makes any of that possible - except your help if you have it to give

My job is dangerous in every sense and the less I have to do it the better. Thank you for reading ❤️

Man... yeah.. that's so cute but also binghe was an only child so he would be listening to shen yuan share family stories like

Shen Yuan reminiscing: and then when my brother pretended to push me off the roof as a joke my da-ge got sooo scared and he thought I really died haha isn't that hilarious? He was crying sooo much

Them at qian Cao listening to the peak lord explain what curse shen yuan must have been hit with but neither of them can focus because shen yuan keeps trying to escape binghes hold and touch the medicine bottles

Unlike his adult disciple, baby shen yuan smiles wide without hiding behind a fan, tells binghe what he wants to eat instead of saying he's fine with anything, holds out his arms for hugs and cuddles 24/7... its heaven until shen yuan asks where his family is

Binghe: you... never mentioned your family

Shen yuan: oh I have a mom and a dad and da-ge and er-ge and meimei !! Meimei is only one year old and she just learned how to call me ge :D

Binghe: aww :) okay, your friend Shang qinghua is from your hometown I'll ask him where your family is :)

Shang qinghua: Okay so the thing is........... um.....

Shen Yuan sobbing uncontrollably all night because his family isn't "in this world." No amount of hugs or snacks will make him calm down. Binghe wondering how he didn't know something like that about his favourite disciple.

shen yuan and binghe are tasked with getting rid of this shapeshifting demon that's been causing mayhem. they arrive at its hideout and binghe tells shen yuan to stay outside so they don't have to worry about getting mixed up - they also have a secret code they set up beforehand.

binghe wanders in and runs into a beautiful woman and goes yeah nice try and immediately tries to chop the demon in half. the demon panics and then takes the shape of this cultivator's companion who he saw earlier before they seperated

shapeshifter: shizun wouldn't hurt his disciple would he!?

binghe: *freezing in place*

shapeshifter: oh. ohhhh :)

binghe's heart racing as 'shen yuan' removes his layers and steps closer with a seductive smile. binghe obviously knows it's not his a-yuan but ... he cant make himself swing his sword on shen yuan's sweet face...

the shapeshifter is LEAGUES below binghe, it's extremely weak compared to the heavenly demon. but binghe can't even push it away when it presses its bare chest against his body and whines "shizun is bullying this disciple..."

(For a split second binghe actually considers it. Shen Yuan is outside, he won't see-)

Binghe just runs away and finds shen yuan at the entrance where he left him. His disciple is fretting over him, wondering why the protagonist is so freaked out??

Shen Yuan: I'll go and fight it instead-

binghe, imagining shen yuan seeing his own image half naked and realizing his shizun got so flustered because he's in love with his disciple: NO! let's return. cang qiong can send someone else...

*cang qiong sends others*

liu qingge: you need to send someone else

yue qingyuan: you need to send someone else

the shapeshifter demon: damn i hit the jackpot by using this body, literally no one can try to hurt me when i look like this- who are you

shang qinghua readying his sword: FINALLY I CAN HIT CUCUMBER BRO BACK WITHOUT THE PROTAG KILLING ME!
