⸠âThis is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,â she said.
⸠âThis,â he said, âis a sentence split by a dialogue tag.â
⸠âThis is a sentence,â she said. âThis is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.â
⸠âThis is a sentence followed by an action.â He stood. âThey are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.â
⸠She said, âUse a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.â
⸠âUse a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,â he said.
âUnless there is a question mark?â she asked.
âOr an exclamation point!â he answered. âThe dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because itâs not truly the end of the sentence.â
⸠âPeriods and commas should be inside closing quotations.â
⸠âHey!â she shouted, âSometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.â
However, if itâs not dialogue exclamation points can also be âoutsideâ!
⸠âDoes this apply to question marks too?â he asked.
If itâs not dialogue, can question marks be âoutsideâ? (Yes, they can.)
⸠âThis applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically expressââ
âInterruptionâ â but there are situations dashes may be outside.
⸠âYouâll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses donât have a comma after them eitherâŚâ she said.
⸠âMy teacher said, âUse single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.ââ
⸠âUse paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,â he said.
âThe readers will know itâs someone else speaking.â
⸠âIf itâs the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
âThis shows itâs the same character continuing to speak.â

Okay I hear you, but that's not going to work. As always, when you're thinking of vegan egg substitutes, it's important to think about the purpose of the egg in your recipe.
Eggs are used in this recipe because they smell gross and don't come off easily (due to their tendency to harden/cook in the sun). This is not a situation for applesauce, which will come off in a light rain.
While unconventional, the substitute you're looking for here is sourdough starter. It's goopy, it'll smell atrocious in the hot sun, and it'll harden onto the walls like cement. If you try to get it off with water, you'll end up with a sticky dough.
Just make sure to respectfully ask your target if they have a gluten allergy before doing this - wouldn't want to trade one evil for another.
*buys a half gallon of milk* *uses it all within a few days* *decided to buy a gallon of milk to not run out before next shopping trip* *uses a teaspoon of milk that week and it goes bad somehow* *buys a quart of milk instead so it wonât go bad* *uses it in one day* *buys a quart and a half gallon of milk because the gallon was too much but the half gallon was not enough* *only uses the half gallon* *gives up on milk for a few days in general* *buys a gallon of milk again just to tempt fate* *somehow uses all of it without realizing and then has to eat sad cereal with like the 5 drops of remaining milk*

"quick", i called it, and then it turned 8 pages long. sigh
this is a compilation of my own research (based on the english tl of the novel) and summaries of what @svsss-fanon-exposed has painstakingly examined; for more in-depth explanations/discussions + even more topics, please do check out @svsss-fanon-exposed <3 and of course, let me know if anything here is false, if you want a source for anything, or if there's anything else you'd like me to add!
this got quite long so! cut time!!
SHEN YUAN
death
Novel: not specified.Â
Donghua: choked on a bun (not food poisoning!)
(iirc the yoghurt/food poisoning thing is the ghost of either an early draft or something mxtx allegedly posted on social media but that never made it to canon. don't quote me on that tho)
terminal illness
Entirely fanon. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
age
He transmigrated at some point between 15 at the absolute youngest and 23 at the absolute oldest; most likely 19-21. (fun fact: if he was younger than 19, LBH is actually technically older than him post-canon)
did Shen Yuan wear glasses?
Never stated in either the novel or donghua but not contradicted either. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
is shen yuan an unreliable narrator?
close enough
LUO BINGHE
early years
Fishermen got Binghe out of the river and gave him his name (Luo as the river, Binghe meaning icy river). He then wandered the streets for a few years, and then he was adopted by the washerwoman. After she died, he joined QCM.
hair
Bingheâs hair is not canonically curly </3Â
scars
The scar on his chest is from when SQQ stabbed him at the edge of the abyss. The one on his hand is from the Jinlan city arc. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
binggeâs harem
Novel: "nearing three digits", âthree-digit numberâ, âinnumerableâ, âlargeâ, âvastâ....Â
Donghua: around 3000
Not specified if this is just the wives or if it also includes concubines etc
xin mo
Bingmei is more prone to Xin Moâs backlash than Bingge, as stated in the bingge/bingmei extra
demon mark
Bingheâs zui yin (not huadian, check entry in âmisc.â) can change shape and expand. He can also hide it at will, but it seems to take some effort. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
head disciple
SQQ chooses Binghe as his head disciple, probably to explain why he let him move into the bamboo house. Ming Fan isnât and never was the head disciple - check the entry âSQQâs disciplesâ
Luo Binghe is big and buff and way taller than SQQ
False. Very in-depth svsss-fanon-exposed post about lbhâs appearance here but basically⌠heâs built like a kpop idol⌠personally iâm thinking Jeonghan or Haechan but could probably go as far as like⌠Taemin maybe. Heâs also only like 2 cm (1in) taller than SQQ.
SHEN JIU
why did SJ hate LBH???
He was jealous of LBH for getting to join a sect and improve his cultivation at the best age and for having a mother who loved him. That's it lol. He also feared Binghe's power and potential which is why he made sure to sabotage him at every step. (ch 1)
âEnvy that Luo Binghe had a mother who was âthe kindest in all the world to him,â envy of Luo Bingheâs talent, envy that Luo Binghe would enter Cang Qiong Mountain Sect at the best age for cultivating.â - Ch. 19
qiu haitang called qiu jiangluo "a-luo", which is why SJ hated binghe
Entirely fanon; she only ever calls him gege (also the "Luo" is a different character = slightly different pronunciation)
surely SJ wasn't thaaaat mean to LBH??
yeah no he really was just that much of a child abuser :/
fake cultivation manual
ch. 1 vol 1: "The cultivation manual Ming Fan had given Luo Binghe was a fake"
SQQ&YQY extra: âLuo Binghe was using the incorrect cultivation manual that Shen Qingqiu had handed him; he should have long since died bleeding from the seven apertures, his body rupturing down to his bones, skin, meridian, tendons, and flesh.â
so either SJ made Ming Fan hand the manual to LBH, or he was on board with Ming Fan doing that out of his own volition. Either way, SJ was well aware of this happening.
SJ was SAd by QLJ
Not explicitly stated but definitely a possible interpretation
SJ only went to brothels to sleep
Fanon but likely; svsss-fanon-exposed post here
SHEN QINGQIU
SQQâs disciples
The number is not specified. Only Ming Fan, Binghe, and Ning Yingying are mentioned by name, but there were at least a few more (eg. Ming Fan's lackeys, the disciples waiting by SQQâs bedside when SY transmigrates, the group he passes by on the peak). Ming Fan is (presumably) the oldest and about 16 at the start of the story, Binghe is around 14 (or 12-13; mentioned in svsss-fanon-exposed post here) Ning Yingying is the youngest (svsss-fanon-exposed post here), so all his disciples are presumably between 12-16. no new disciples were taken in after Binghe - he's still the newest shidi when SY transmigrates.
NYY might not be the only female disciple on QJP - in the bingge/bingmei extra, SQQ refers to some disciples as âa group of teal-robed boys and girlsâ, however, the Chinese word used for "boys and girls" here doesn't actually specify gender. NYY is referred to as "Shen Qingqiu's youngest female disciple" but it's hard to tell if it's meant to be interpreted as "youngest of the females" or "youngest and also female, unlike the others".
Ming Fan was never head disciple - he is only ever specified to be the oldest disciple/the first one to become their masterâs student. however, if a head disciple isnât chosen, is it usually the most senior disciple who does their work - which in this case is Ming Fan. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
There might be "outer disciples" on QJP, in which case Ming Fan would be SQQ's earliest disciple, not necessarily the first on the whole peak. However, there is no outright mention of any outer disciples on QJP; the only mention of outer disciples is in regards to An Ding.
SQQâs eye colour
In the novel his eyes are described as black. however, in many official illustrations they are green, grey, or some other lighter colour.Â
svsss-fanon-exposed post(s) here
META
how long was pidw?
novel: LONG.
Its posting time spanned 3-4 years (SY says 4 years in chapter 1, Airplane says 3 years in the Airplane extra). Airplane allegedly âupdated ten thousand words a day, every day, for three years straightâ with âperiodic burst releases of eight whole chaptersâ. He had also written other works before PIDW.
donghua: 6666 chapters
whatâs the svsss timeline?
link to ao3 post by VagabondDawn
post examining the pre-canon timeline by svsss-fanon-exposed
CQM
peak lordsâ ages
Shen Jiu was about 33 when he died. Yue Qingyuan is roughly three years older than him and Liu Qingge is a few years younger. others are unknown. check the svsss-fanon-exposed post re:the timeline linked above
⢠CQM's disciple robes are colour coded
canon. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
qing jing - the eng tl says teal but the Chinese character used to describe the color can mean one of several shades of green/blue-green/etc
qiong ding - unclear but YQY wears black in the donghua and âdark-hued robesâ in ch. 19 vol 3
bai zhan - black disciple uniform, but LQG wears white (novel)
xian shu - pink/purple (donghua)
an ding - blue (official art)
others unknown :/
MISC.
how did Airplane die?
He spilled noodles onto his laptop while laughing at Peerless Cucumber's forum posts and electrocuted himself when he pulled the plug out trying to save his half-finished file. This is kind of weird because if Airplane had an unfinished draft on his laptop when he died, SY couldnât have finished reading the entire novel; unless the system somehow finished the chapter, uploaded it as the final chapter after Airplane died, and did such a bad job that it killed SY. but yeah TECHNICALLY you could argue that cumplane indirectly killed each other lol
However, Airplane transmigrated into a baby Shang Qinghua; he spent probably at least 30 extra years in "PIDW" compared to SY
huan hua
little palace mistress is the old palace masterâs daughter, not granddaughter
all demons have forehead marks
fanon, straight up contradicts the canon text. only heavenly demons have demon marks in the novel, despite what some of the official art suggests. also, this type of mark would be called a zui yin, not a huadian. svsss-fanon-exposed post here
Liu Mingyan
Liu Mingyan is not confirmed to be either head disciple or even the most senior disciple. she might be! but itâs not stated in canon. svsss-fanon-exposed post about head disciples here
that's it for now! again, lmk if there's anything i missed or anything else i should add!!
Local Hallmaster!Shen Yuan slowly comes to terms that he may like a man!
All jokes aside, Iâve really been loving âWolf In The Bambooâ by Angry_gremlin_commando, itâs just so well written and itâs jiuyuan! JIUYUAN MY BELOVED!!
Deeply fucked up that this game (real life) forces you to play a crafting mini-game (cooking) every time you want to replenish your stamina bar.
You can skip the crafting game by using a pre-made consumable if you have them on hand, but high level players will constantly nag you about it and tell you that it damages your character's stats in the long run.
Way worse is that you have an unskippable cut scene after the crafting mini game, every time, called "doing the dishes." You can avoid it for a while by exiting the kitchen but the longer you wait the longer the cutscene is.
The true AO3 experience is trying to remember a very specific fic you read some time between 2013 and 2019 but you can only remember two of the characters, a vague idea of the plot outside of one specific scene, and you have no clue what the tags could have been.

Normally, the community of Proud Immortal Demon Way can hardly be called as such. To call PIDW readers a âfandomâ would be akin to calling everyone who visited the same porn site a family. PeerlessCucumber is a loud exception, but in the end heâs still only an exception - by and large, people reading PIDW know exactly what theyâre there for, and it certainly isnât for any sense of shared enjoyment or community.
The community of people following PeerlessCucumber himself, however, is a whole different story.
PeerlessCucumber is the asshole single handedly responsible for at least seven different copypastas, the rich bastard that will pay an artistâs rent for a single picture of Luo Binghe if only the artist can tolerate his demands for constant revisions, the dictionary definition of an anti-fan.
He is also blissfully unaware of the absolute glee in which people take in riling him up. And in the age of the modern internet, nothing brings a group of strangers together like the opportunity to poke fun of a guy like that.
âHow do I look?â HualingsWife whispers to her companions. They take a moment to scrutinize her, gaze lingering around her chest.
âI donât know,â SwordsOfCultivators says, âI think the guy ahead of you let his robes drape open further.â
HualingsWife rolls her eyes. âIf I let my robes drape open that far, Iâd be disqualified - you know the rules are different for men.â
âItâs not like youâre looking to win, though,â XuanyuMeat says. âAnd the open chest is clearly effective.â
The three of them pause, turning to look at the stage from their spot in the wings. The competitor that came before HualingsWife is running through a series of poses that are slowly but surely allowing his robes to slip ever wider.Â
Two of the judges are watching with thinly veiled amusement - after several years of this tradition, theyâve gotten used to the chaos that PeerlessCucumberâs fans bring to these cosplay competitions.Â
The third judge is PeerlessCucumber himself, and he looks like he might be experiencing a serious health condition. A serious mental health condition, to be clear.
â- robes of inferior make! Bingheâs exposure is always purposeful, and artful, and it wouldnât be because he was wearing robes that didnât fit him! If you donât care about dressing true to his character -!â
âHm,â SwordsOfCultivators hums. âIs it just me, or is Peerless not being as harsh as he usually is? Do you think heâs finally losing some of his obsession with Luo Binghe?â
âHe better not!â HualingsWife cries. âIâve put way too much time and money into working on a cosplay for that awful porn book for him to lose interest right when I get my chance to join the torturing-Peerless-fun!â
âNo, no,â XuanyuMeat says, shaking their head. âYou heard his rants for the Luo Binghe cosplayers one through four - he was especially cruel to them! Look at his face now, that isnât the face of someone losing interest!â
They turn back to the stage. Luo Binghe cosplayer number five - likely DickBiggerThanBinghe, if HualingsWife were to guess based on her limited interactions with him in the PeerlessWatchers discord chat - looks unbearably smug. His robes have fallen completely off his shoulders by now.
PeerlessCucumber, on the other hand, looks so red HualingsWife wouldnât be surprised if she started seeing steam pouring out of his ears.
âAh,â she says, understanding. âYou think heâs recently finally realized his obsession with Luo Binghe isnât that of a straight manâs?â
âI wouldnât put it past him to get this flustered over a manâs exposed chest and still think it was caused purely by the outrage of seeing one of our âpoorly doneâ cosplays,â XuanyuMeat says wryly. They send HaulingsWife a pointed side eye. âSoâŚâ
âOh yeah, Iâm on it,â HualingsWife says, already loosening her robes further. âJust make sure to have the cameras ready to get the direct comparison of his reaction to a womanâs nip-slip versus the absolute conniption heâs going through now.â
âPlease, he probably wonât even see it - heâll probably get all awkward and look away like he does with any female cosplayer dressed in anything but a full body suit.â
âI think heâll peek through his fingers anyway,â SwordsOfCultivators says gleefully. âHe wouldnât dare miss the chance to oggle another Luo Binghe cosplayer.â
On stage, DickBiggerThanBinghe finally waltzes off, having received his scoring from all three judges and a score from the back of the room where the group of PeerlessWatchers are sitting.Â
After all, none of them are really here for the actual cosplay competition. They only care about one thing: whoever can get the highest scoring Peerless rant about their cosplay will pay for dinner for everyone that night.Â
âOhh, seven out of ten!â HualingsWife says, as the group PeerlessWatchers wave their scorecard around with glee. âThe last time someone got scored that highly was when TofuBuns dared to cosplay as a half-dead Luo Binghe covered in wounds!â
âTofuBuns still has their display name set to âfaithless mongrel undeserving of witnessing Binghes successâ in the discord server,â SwordsOfCultivators sighs. âI can only hope to one day trigger a Peerless rant so iconic.â
On stage, one of the judges glances down at the score sheet, sees that another Luo Binghe cosplayer is scheduled to come out next, and stifles a laugh before gesturing for HualingsWife to come on.
âNo way Iâm getting something that iconic my first try,â HualingsWife says, âbut if I can get Peerless to make that hilarious choking noise he made the last time he saw a female-presenting Luo Binghe, Iâll count it as a win.â
Happy Dazatsu day 2024!!! Thank you @dazatsuweek for hosting đ Very excited to participate!
IT'S NOT JUST THE ART - I wrote a oneshot for this one~ So enjoy 'Perhaps I think too much', prompt 'Confession'
Dazai was highly perceptive, but one had to be completely blind to miss the signs - shy look, avoiding eye contact, nervously trembling voice, but the drive to let the words outâŚ
His little protĂŠgĂŠ was about to confess to him.

weâve all heard of the fake dating trope⌠but have u considered.. fake exes tropeâŚ..
âmy new romance-obsessed friend asked me who my last date was with and i was too embarrassed to say iâve never been on a date so i blurted your name and it turns out they know youâ au
âi didnât want to tell my friend who my real date last night was so i just pointed at a random stranger (you) but now theyâre storming over to interrogate you and youâre playing along??? okayâ au
âa mutual friend tried to introduce us, but we already knew each other from LARPing but weâre both too embarrassed to admit that so i jokingly said we used to date and oh god now our friend wont stop interrogating us about itâ au
âim egging your house for a dare but your parent is a cop and theyâre yelling at me so i told them that you were my ex and you wronged me and now youâre coming outside and please go along with this i donât want to go to jailâ au
âmy current partner is a huge asshole and i need a reason to break up with them so will you pretend to be my possessive and violent exâ au
âweâre contestants on a reality show and we kind of hate each other so the producers told us to pretend to be warring exes for the ratings so now we keep inventing crazier and crazier things the other did while we were datingâ au

No but Shen Twins AU where Shen Yuan is a technically a member of Cang Qiong Mt sect but he's almost never there cause he's too busy traveling and studying/documenting all of the cool plants and animals.
But when he Does spend time at the sect it's Qing Jing Peak's emotional equivalent to Christmas, cause Shen Jiu is actually in a good mood (as good as his moods get at least) and Shen Yuan has picked up a habit of bringing sweets for the disciples. He just shows up and suddenly the bamboo house doesn't seem so empty, Shen Jiu actually seems comfortable for once, and the whole peak's atmosphere seems to shift.
And, it's always a very jaring experience for new disciples the first time they meet Shen Yuan. Cause there's this guy who looks exactly like their teacher but is so much less severe. His posture is a little more relaxed, he Actually smiles at them every once in a while, he doesn't get annoyed when they ask about his adventures and is instead very willing to share his stories (if he dresses them up a little who's to blame him). For many of them it stuns them to see Anyone be so casual with their teacher and be left alive after; to see him argue with someone in a way that is actually harmless rather than scathing.
It doesn't help though that noone actually knows When Shen Yuan will ever show up or how long he'll actually stay. It definitely varies, sometimes he'll just be passing through the area on his way to some other cool place, sometimes he stays for a few months in order to teach a couple classes on useful plants and dangerous animals.
Often during his visits, he visits the other peaks too. He talks with Mu Qingfang about about medicinal plants while he's treated for any injuries he has (it's not his fault he's accident prone, and if he fell of that cliff while trying to follow a very cool bird-thing no one needs to know). He has tea with Yue Qingyuan (who met him for the first time and said "our younger brother"); Shen Jiu is decidedly not happy about this but "oh well he'll live"
