Dreams That Dawn Waved In

Shen Yuan who reads fics and bookmarks with a rating and a critique like he’s a book reviewer.

Shen Yuan who shares snippets of fics online and points out things he finds cringe.

Shen Yuan who leaves unwanted advice on fics so often that he’s blocked by at least half of the PIDW fandom on AO3.

Shen Yuan who fails to read the tags and then complains in the comments about things that were listed in the tags.

Shen Yuan who has built up a mental list of “Ai tells” and tends to accuse writers of using GenAi. He puts fics into online “Ai checkers” as evidence, like a scum villain.

Shen Yuan whose username is Peerless Cucumber but they refer to him as Shen Qingqiu in fandom discord servers.

Shen Yuan who thinks that since he’s been reading PIDW since the beginning (or at least longer than some people) that his opinions matter more. He’s more or less passive aggressive about this.

Shen Yuan who won’t write himself but gets mad that PIDW fandom writers since there’s not more of his ship/his preference than other ships/preferences.

Shen Yuan who demands updates to fics.

Shen Yuan who gets into shipping wars and leaves anonymous comments on why Liu Mingyan is actually the the only wife that makes sense for Luo Binghe, and writes essays on how the plot suppports their relationship more than any other wife.

Shen Yuan who likes to rip apart submissive Luo Binghe fics because “he wouldn’t ever act like that.”

Shen Yuan who likes to rip apart fics with more effeminate Luo Binghe’s because he thinks a Luo Binghe with more feminine characteristics means Luo Binghe is “weaker as a character” and is “less cool.”

Feels bad for the ppl whom no-one chose. Feels bad for Clou when PMC didn't choose her, even though I really thought Mei's description of Clou's traditional style would sway her. I can't wait to see what PMC & Clou will do!! Because Chinese opera and Viet cải lương is very similar (for obvious reasons) so it'll be so interesting!!

There's this podcast stating they will write an entirely new song, but I have doubts about that podcast bc idk where they're getting info from?? But a new song would be cool.

Idk why Viet showbiz news are comparing PMC to Sa Dingding, but the collab being a cover/translation of one of Sa Dingding's song would also be cool. I love Sa Dingding's songs, though that would have no Viet elements.

So like, is Sing!Asia making them sing horribly so each stop has their king or what?

The only English-language discussion of Sing Asia I can find are either in YouTube comments (rarely) or Daneliya's fans on Facebook. So true besties, how even is this competition structured??

Low-key worried bc if PMC is pulling out 'Bóng Phù Hoa' now, which is like her strongest song, what will she sing next? I don't think any other song on the album compares.
