London Day 6: Crown Jewels, The Thames, Chinatown, Six!

We start with an 8am alarm, that’s not too bad, we woke up with the sun, which is better than the alarm, but the alarm kept us honest! Start with breakfast, we gave ourselves two hours to get breakfast and get an Uber to where we were going. First stop of the day…The Tower of London! We had 1030am ticket times and we got there at 1022am, walked right up and in, it was perfect! The first thing…

well what if the only person sqh doesn't know ANYTHING about is lqg because he was just there to be killed off and so he has to actually try to get to know him and can't use his author knowledge and so they bond and he sees lqg as so much more than just a character whose life was meant to end for a cheap shock and lqg also gets to know him as well and sees sqh in a new light because that coward he grew up distantly with is weirdly able to understand him and actually see him as a person and not just a dumb brute and a new friendship blossoms and

Kong Shangren, the guy who became popular at the early Qing court for writing a play that was (in part) about how sad it was that the Qing had taken over, was alive at the time glasses came to Qing via the Portuguese. He wrote this poem:

White glass from across the Western Seas Is imported through Macao: Fashioned into lenses big as coins, They encompass the eyes in a double frame. I put them on—it suddenly becomes clear; I can see the very tips of things! And read fine print by the dim-lit window Just like in my youth.

ngl, I kind of teared up.

Scum Villain AU, where the end of the novel goes somewhat different. Briefly put, things go off the rails in all the wrong ways and SQQ dies once more.

Only to wake up from the coma his original body's been stuck in for ages (hell, might actually be as many years as he's been living - man wakes from decade long coma headlines and all).

He re-adjusts. Goes to therapists who helpfully help him realize that oh, this was just a dream based on his obsession with this terrible webnovel. He re-adjusts. Leaves the care facility and gets a new apartment. Gets his things from storage and has a breakdown about putting the PIDW merch up in his new place, as you do.

Life goes on, even for a lazy second gen who managed to miss a decade. Our SY might even get a job, who knows.

Might even grow convinced that yeah, it really was just a particularly vivid dream.

And then one night there's a knock on the door, and outside stands a full-blood Heavenly Demon Emperor with Xin Mo dangling from his side, frowning at him. Listen, let's not blame SY for fainting, okay? There's only so many re-adjusted worldviews a guy can handle.

He slowly wakes up on his couch, slowly enough that he's got time to think "oh, this was all another dream" - and then he hears Tianlang-Jun's voice reading aloud from the lovely PIDW hardcover SY had put on his bookshelf, and naturally he's found one of the early, more well-written before it all got repetitive sex scenes...

#svsss #the scum villain's self saving system #tianlang jun #it's always lbh or mbj who get to run around in modern China #give tlj a chance #he'll love it #and give sy a heart attack on insisting on meeting sy's family to negotiate a bride price #because he actually had an objective in coming here okay?

Watching Bucchigiri?! and seeing all the genuinely well implemented references to Arabic art folklore: 🥰🥰😍😘💙❤️🩷

Watching American YouTubers react to it all calling it "Indian" and not even doing that respectfully: 💀💀💀💀💀

#bucchigiri #seriously even if the plot doesn't seem too interesting rn i just LOVE the style #the main character s name is a hidden “Aladdin” #there is actually well written arabic #they even somehow correctly accounted for the difference in writing between modern and medieval #but i see YouTubers reaction saying it's set in some kind of Indian-china fusion #just because the main character lives with his mom in a Chinese restaurant #or another saying “oh yea it's from u know-*does the cliche hand above head Bollywood dance move*” #also the ending has the female character in actually accurate arab clothes that are nit just a sexualised belly dancer outfit #even though i don't like her character #but god dammit this was done with love for arab culture

I've seen takes about Shang Quinghua pressing the Return Home button (either on purpose or by accident) and I've also read takes where the System for some reason (a glitch or a new mission) sends both SY and SQH to the modern world. And they are great BUT.....

What if SQH pressed the Return Home option (I'm thinking on purpose, but you do you) and the System sent both back home.

Let's say that the System didn't give SY that option because he isn't user number 1 and it was up to user number 1 to make this choice. Only, because the System is such an asshole it conveniently disregarded to tell either SY or SQH this.

So SQH not knowing his choice would also affect SY (otherwise he would definitely use this to get SQQ to do as he says, like getting LBH to give him the best food 😂) decides that he will take his chances on the real world. I'm thinking that he does this in part because the System actually answered when he would wake up and told him that in the real world no time has happened or that he would go back before he spilled his ramen and electrocuted himself. The other part could be that he just panicked upon seeing LGY. Or maybe he never saw LGY and was able to explore and sightsee some of the wonders of the world he wrote about and decided that this was as good as it would get here, whereas now that he lived in a cultivation setting he had so much fucking material. He could even write the danmei version of PIDW thanks to Cucumber bro!

So he activates the return home function and proceeds to write SVSSS, only he changes the name of Peerless Cucumber to another dick joke to avoid getting sued, you know, just in case.

For his part SQQ/SY hears the System saying "Activating Return Home sequence in 3, 2, 1" and he proceeds to freak out, except of course he doesn't have time to properly freak out and/or say anything before everything goes black.

SY wakes up in the hospital, his sister found him passed out and proceed to call 110/120*. Because this is SY and he no longer can hear the System he proceeds to go in denial/repression. "Ah... It was all a dream of course" (and to be fair, this would be more of a normal reaction than how he immediately accepted he had transmigrated 😂).

Until some weeks/months/days!? (Knowing Airplane it was probably days) later, Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky starts publishing an spin off/AU of PIDW named SVSSS.

Meanwhile back on SVSSS world either (and because I love SJ and he deserves a happy ending and because YQY also deserves a happy ending and I want these two to reconcile 😭 and what are fanfics for if not to write happy endings for everyone!?!):

SQQ'S body goes into a Qi deviation and SJ wakes up (resuscitates? I'm thinking the System grabbed his soul while he was deviating and put it into storage so SY's soul could occupy the body). Obviously SJ proceeds to FREAK OUT and runs away to CQM sect.

SQQ'S body just stops working. One moment he is breathing and the next he is dead. Somewhere out there SJ wakes up in a plant body (at some point SQH tried to bring back his favorite scum villain and gifted YQY a mushroom plant body with some precise instructions to care for it without telling YQY exactly what the plant was, because he believed if someone could bring back SJ it would be his soulmate YQY, but in case he was wrong better not tell YQY why or what the plant he gifted him was for)

SQQ'S body basically becomes brain dead. Technically alive, but since there is no soul inside the body it is as good as dead (SJ comes back with a healthy plant body and reconciles with YQY in CQM)

In any of these scenarios LBH will freak out, obviously, but in the case of scenario 1 he would have no reason but to think that this like the first time SQQ lost his memories, only now he recuperated many of them and lost the ones that involve LBH. So I guess the best option for a BingYuan reunion would be to go for 2 or 3 because LBH would be looking for SQQ|SY soul not SQQ|SJ (who is alive and safe in CQM sect) but I don't really care for this pairing soooo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Upon crawling out of the earth, SJ encounters YQY who immediately knows that this is Xiao Jiu, he would have the confirmation of what he already knew, that the other SQQ was not SJ. He still has no explanation to what happened or how SQH was able to return SJ to him, but he is glad and thankful to SQH.

SQH who has disappeared. Literally, his body did a Thanos snap and became dust or simply glitched out. Because SQH was never from this world. He was born in this world and given the role of SQH but his body is technically not the one of the original but supplanted it. Similar to a changeling only it was the System and he did this from the womb.

I don't know how it would go from here, kind of a dealers choice, if you want Moshang and BingYuan(?) HEA or if CumPlane HEA in the modern world. Or happy ending for Airplane who now can dedicate time to write whatever he wants because he already has SVSSS written thanks to the System and while that sells he can concentrate in writing other things.

uhh

UHH

Was looking at a map of Xinjiang administrative divisions and was wondering why there are so many random enclaves that don't technically belong to a prefecture or prefecture-level city.

And the answer is basically "Chinese Cossacks who for some reason still exist as a parallel administrative apparatus of the government".
