I PRAY MY FINGIES I CAN KEEP

AND IF MY FINGIES ALL SHOULD BREAK

me: oh, careful, dead dove!… do not eat.

my gf(offended): I am not eat a dead bird!

me: no, baby, that’s a joke. it’s a tag on ao3, “dead dove do not eat”, you know this tag

me: you’re Sam?

my gf: yeah. sam.

me: explain, please?

my gf: eugh:( i so so sam:( i cry:(

me: oh! you’re sad!

Right well the stalker takes the bait and SJ beats the breaks off of the guy, like it’s BAD. One would think that SJ’d be all bark no bite but it’s the opposite actually. After beating the stalker to the point of tears Shen Jiu drags the guy out—IN PUBLIC MIND YOU—to a park he told SY & YQ to meet him at. He proceeds to shove the guy in front of SY and demands the stalker make a public apology. (He makes the Stalker restart the apology if he doesn’t like the way it’s worded and by the end of things the stalker is horrified, shaking, and maybe on the verge of tears maybe already crying, idk)

Anyways eventually someone alerts the authorities who are quickly cursed out by SJ who may or may not get arrested. Idk if he’s charged wb anything or not but YQ giddily pays his bail and any fines he might have.

Anyways after that whole ordeal SJ’s so worried about his brother that he’s like “Huh,, maybe you should live with me instead of being on your own…” and SY’s like “WHAT NO” and things eventually spin to SY needing a fake partner to care for him enough to get SJ off his back.

If he can fix some plot points and get things less chaotic (airplane seriously just crept adding stuff that made zero sense to get more sex scenes) so SY will fix that and make things less bad for Binghe...

He ends up taking over the entire abyss without realizing. Man is emperor of the abyss.

Xin Mo has been begging SY to wield it but SY is like 'i'm not touching the protagonists golden finger, why would I do that i'm just an NPC'

SY has not realized he's the feared emperor of the abyss, tales of his power have even reached outside texts, he is the great terror that rules over all others and untied all the creatures under his power.

He just keeps thinking this is just to make things easier for Binghe... he's mentioned a few times about LBH and his subjects have heard a heavenly demon hat will fall in who SY talks about with adoration.

Clearly they all decide SY is a seer (it would explain a lot) and LBH is their future bride.

LBH falls into abyss ready to start revenge arc... only to get scooped up by first demons who see him and take him palace to apparently 'future husband' LBH is ready to start killing... until he meets SY.

Empress of the abyss suddenly sounds very appealing.

SY: I can help Binghe go though this arc with less trauma and then i'm sure he'll leave and become emperor

No takeover in any demonic lands, no plots as cultivation sects and no wives appear to have been acquired.

He has no idea what's happening, where's the plot? where's the revenge? wheres the harem?

Stallion protagonist is missing in action and SQH is confused. The script is out the window and his system seems to have just given up? No missions or anything.

MBJ is taking over territory and expanding power... he no longer wants a spy (he has no need for one since the sect isn't of any importance to him without LBH revenge) SQH thinks he's gonna die earlier... only MBJ just scoops him up and is keeping in in North permanently... (he's been bridenapped and hasn't figured it out yet)

It's only when SQH is arranging meeting with abyssal emperor (who SQH is 99% sure he never wrote but he didn't have a lot of lore in notes that he had to throw out because the lore wasn't selling with anyone other than peerless cucumber)

When in meeting he sees emperor and his empress... who is his stallion protagonist.

Shen Yuan: horny and/or chronically online

Luo Binghe: you cherish childlike innocence even when it's twisted to the point it's barely recognizable. You love to explore how trauma shapes a person

Luo Bingge: "free my man even though he did all that shit"

Shen Jiu: you're able to look past how people present themselves and see the hurt child inside, ironically similar to Luo binghe fans but you'll never admit it

Yue Qingyuan: horny

Shang Qinghua: horny

Mobei Jun: you have a soft spot for characters who are cold due to child neglect. Also you are horny

Sha hualing: horny

Liu Mingyan: you LOVE to say "God forbid women have a hobby" in response to everything women do no matter how absurd

Liu Qingge: like CRAZY horny

Ning Yingying: you are puppies and rainbows and sunshine

Tianlang Jun: you love to call him a slut even though he's probably only had sex like one time

okay I have a feeling this is gonna be controversial- and I am not attacking anybody- but I am asking y'all to consider that fanartists who make Binghe consistently the darker skinned character without investigating the undertones this has is in poor taste at best.

This is something I've seen a lot of black people on here talk about, and I want to give them credit (especially Creating Black Characters) for this obviously because they have been actively dealing with this form of bigotry and have a lot more experience with racism than me- but I've yet to see this applied to the SVSSS fandom, and it's making me kind uncomfortable.

To explain, having the dominant partner, who is in-text aggressive, be the (often one) character you headcanon as a deeper skin tone than the rest is all too common. It plays into a lot of nasty stereotypes. There are worse versions of it, and the idea this originated in this fandom, or it is the worst here is incorrect, but it does not mean it doesn't play into the stereotypes.

I do think there are ways to do it well, you can look at his half demon heritage as an allegory for racial hatred in our world. But that will say things about those who then hunt demons (like Liu Qingge). Hell, I think Tianlang Jun's storyline of being locked away for loving a cultivator, and how everyone assumes the worst of him for being a demon can play into this as well. But, just because this is written in a fantasy novel doesn't mean it doesn't have real world consequences.

I'm not saying you can't draw Binghe with darker skin- but maybe consider drawing other characters with dark skin too. And maybe think about how portraying the sexually aggressive and demonic character as the only one with dark skin reads.

And I love Luo Binghe's character. I think he's a great blorbo- but I also want SVSSS to be a safe fandom for everybody. I've had so much fun here, and I want my friends to be able to participate without feeling uncomfortable.

It's torture for Binghe. Shen Jiu, the white walls and pain are all he knows. Until one day he hears a noise and finds a boy slightly older than him in the lab looking around in shock. The boy, Shen Yuan, looks horrified by the blood on the floor, asking Binghe what he's doing in his basement. Why is he locked up behind glass? He fumbles around the buttons until Binghes door opens and he's finally free.

Binghe: yes.. I have a debt I need to repay to your brother

Binghe: now I have to act pathetic and harmless until shen yuan leads me to shen jiu and I can finally take my revenge
