may I get your thoughts on the following ships?:
I'm so sorry, I wrote it down long ago, but forget to send it in the end.
Love them and want to shake them by shoulders, screaming to do something.
They are so dissfuctional yet still dependent on each other. Generally you need to add an external force to make it happen, so I'll kick in poor SY here.
Also, Qijiu being a narrative parallel to Bingqiu in svsss is just a peak. And I'm still thinking about the broken string of fate between them and crying.
Jiuyuan - I mean, it's not that I really like them 😳 *looks at more than 15 fanart pics* DEFINITELY NOT!
Khem, I want to shake them in jar and eat the-
They are very interesting for me cause I didn't even think about this ship as possibility, considering how they have never interacted in canon. Fanfiction opened my eyes and I'll never be the same after the experience, I feel craving for jiuyuan every now and then. So I always come back for more.
I really love every type of relationships for them, I think they would hate each other and fight a lot, but gradually come to some kind of understanding. Except Binghe ofc
Bingjiu - Really toxic. Though I like fanart and find it really hot. Still I don't think I'll draw them anytime soon. I don't really have strong opinion about them as ship 🤔
What I really like is portrayal cycle of abuse and how violence perpetuate violence. Also I love narrative parallels and when authors show that they are both cynical and paranoid, prone to violence and revenge, obsessive, with strong abondoment issues. I think Bingge would have similar ideas regarding education and discipline, but probably won't even realize it cause he never had a disciple and I doubt he taught his kids something.
Bingqiu - ah, my cute little freaks. I warmed up to ship in comparison to first time I've read the book. Binghe's feelings even if complicated was clear as day to me, but Shen Qingqiu's not. Such a filthy liar. He fooled me and I fell for his blatant lies that he doesn't feel attraction. "It's natural cause who the hell can say no to Binghe?". Sure, sweetie. And I guess after reading orv and my s class hunters, I was so accustomed to man waxing poetic for their companion's beauty and still being non bl, that my psyche just ignored some as some totally normal shit.
blood feeding scene (also love aus with vampires for that exact reason),
Water prison scene and the fact Binghe considers it their first date,
Shen Qingqiu asking if six balls have seen this dashing, handsome beyond comparison man with sadness in his eyes that you seen only in eastern european gay po-
Binghe luring Shen Qingqiu when he'd in the Plantbody,
Shen Yuan having weird concept about m/m relationship that he got from his sister's BL stories,
Shen Qingqiu protecting Binghe in Holy Mausoleum and then crying before him without realizing,
That scene with rooms and Liu Qingge,
Shen Qingqiu promising follow Binghe and be by his side,
Shen Qingqiu calling Binghe husband by his own volition
