I'm the protagonist, bitch!

What if SY transmigrated as Luo Binghe and had to go through the main trials and abuse under the scum villain Shen Qingqiu?

And in typical SY fashion, ends up deluding himself and no longer cares what Sqq is doing? Since Luo Binghe knows he's going to go into literal hell everything sqq does seem tame in comparison? He starts thinking "If being whipped is making me cry...how will I be when I lose a limb in the abyss!?"

Then he starts seeing this as inpromptu training, he gives SQQ the peerless cucumber roast of a lifetime JUST to get more punishment! He has to get stronger!

And of course in true Scum villain fashion, SQQ backs off and starts treating LBH as a disciple and just ignores him.

This is grossley unfair!

Shen Yuan AS Luo Binghe.

 So SY transmigrates as Luo Binghe and already doesnt feel comfortable as a grown ass man taking wives who were mostly Binghes age with the occasional milf thrown in there. So he decides fuck it, he’ll get stronger deal with he abyss when he gets to it and at first wanted revenge on SQQ then decided it was too much hassle. He just wanted to be left alone. But the scum villain keeps bothering him, and actually seems to like him- why? What changed!? The hell!?

-SY transmigrates as Luo Binghe.

Has the horror that as the protagonist his lufe is a living hell, continous tortourous chores, being whipped and beaten for the tiniest offense how will a millenial survive!

[Welcome Host you can you up! As the protagonist you are the workds child and no lasting harm will befall you-]

“Yeah but I’ll still be harmed.”

[An over powered protagnosit at the start if his journey is too unrealistic.

 Tasks for hosts are;

Create a harem.

Fall into the endless abyss.

Take revenge on Shen Qingqiu.

Merge the realms!]

“I dont want to do any if that!”

[System has heard users complaints and sees that Host will only do one scenario!]

Oh thank god

[System has taken the liberty of choosing the task- endless abyss arc!]

You fuck!

-SY stole a manual. If he wanted to survive the abyss he had to be stronger. Having an unstable core will do him no favours…

So far he was able to keep his head down but realised something. When he first transmigrated the first thing that happened he was beaten. And it hurt.

Then he was whipped and it hurt but…

Luo Binghe was going into the abyss- even with his demon blood awakened he would face a ton of horrors and so much pain his own arm ripped of.

“A-lou? You look pale,” His shiejie spoke placing a hand over his head.

 If he wanted to survive he would have to build up his pain tolerence…

Steadying his rabid heartbeat Luo Binghe smiled.

“This one is fine.”

He purposfully acts out, and tried not to cry- it was just intimidating okay! That he was being whipped while his Shizun supervised-

Did Shen Qjngqiu really have to sit there and watch the sadistic fuck!

Even so, he built himself up stronger.

He accidently proposed to Ming fan that he had no intention of seeing Ning Yinying that way as she was like a sister.

But seeing a man bully someone they percoeved as their little brother how would you react? If Ming Fan acted kind to Binghe he could also hang oht with Ning Yingying.

 “You can have one on one time with Ning Yingying, she’ll be happy that we’re getting along.”

“You just want me to help with your chores-“

“Of course not. This one will do extra and Ning Yingying likes to talk or gets bored easily you can stop and play with her instead.”

And just like that he matchmaked the two, and had all the wood chopping to himself.

It was frustrating coming from a modern eorld you’d think he knew hie to get stronger.

But that was all er-ge. He knew the difference between working out and only looking like a model but was weak and unfit. Meanwhile people who gained weight and looked bigger were often stronger.

Even so, Luo Binghe used the kitchens to his advantage while eating he would study and in his own time would train even dyring the night.

 And if he felt tired he would purposfully sleep in during his Shizuns lessons.

Extra points for snowing loudly.

Of course he rejoiced in the day he no longer felt pain on his back. He even told Shen Qingqiu himself that what point was the punishment if he now felt nothing?

So now he had to sit on pins, hanging off the mountain and not fall to his death because his arms got tired.

 Even so it’d make him stronger.

“Ah binghe can you take this to Peak Lord Shen?”

He blinked then stared at the food. 

And he suddenly had a wicked idea.

He may not want revenge kn his scumbag shizun, even though he deserved it. Lucky for him he was so lazy!

 But this would be the most sweetest revenge.

He decided to take the food up for Shen Qingqiu passing it to Mong Fan.

 “What are you doing with Shizuns food?”

“I was already in the kitchen, while the cooks told me to bring it.”

Ming Fan looked suspicious and Luo Binghe held the urge to roll his eyes.

“You can taste test it if you eant although, Shizun wont be pleased by the delay.”

To be fair, Shizun never ate. He never slept either. The only time he oerked was when he went doen the mountain. He sure had an addiction.

Luo Binghe almost said nothing then remembered he needed to get in trouble and punished!

 “Visiting the brothel, again, Shizun?”

The other gaped at his audacity, to be fair, Shen Qingqiu could kick him of the mountain, but after reassuring with the system that would never happen.

 Shen Qingqiu paused and only glanced back, cold eyes sneering down at Luo Binghe.

 Luo Binghe shivered, he sure was the scum villain alright, so scary!

Such a waste of good looks too.

 “Luo Binghe to the wood shed.”

He bowed, “Yes, Shizun.”

Unknwowing that to others he was practically going whth a slring in his step.

“Why do you rebel against your master so? Are you a glutton for punishment?”

Luo Binghe was forced to kneel before Shen Qingqiu, his legs bloodied and skin torn.

 The original goods would’ve broken Shen Qingqius legs for that.

But kneoing he may lose a leg in the endless abyss he was fine with it.

 “This disciple has nothing but respect for Shen Qjngqiu.”

Hah as if! He wished for nothing but Shen Qingqius castration!

 “This disciple is aware how…behind he is compared to everybody else and only wishes to be stronger. After being whipped to the point of no linger feeling pain?”

He missed the wide eyes of Shen Qjngqiu as he kept speaking.

 “This disciple knows many more trails are to come and this one has to be stronger to face them. So far the punishments have given this Binghe so much thatvhe can’t hope to ever repay. But as the years passed noticed less punishments…”

It was strange usually this was when Qjngqiu got worse.

“This Binghe never wanted to lose all that progress and so…to continue this disciple had to…escalate such things to get what I wanted.”

When he glanced up he blanched, he’d never seen Shen Qingqiu look so enraged!

Luo Binghe realised what he said then bowed, face red in shame.

“This disciple apologises! He should have spoken with Shizun first! And never went about his own training in such a way! This disciple was wrong!”

“Oh, so now you understand?”

Easy for you! Binghe was focused on survivng the abyss! Not your ego! 

 “It seems this Shizun was rewarding such behaviour. Are you truly a masochist?”

Shen Qingqiu used his foot to raise Luo Binghes chin from the floor!

Luo Binghe kept hos face impassive the only thing giving him away was a small twitch.

 He did not want that type of attention from his scumbag Shizun! God damn it!

“N-no Shizun this lowly one only wanted-“

The foot moved, and before Binghe could even relax, Shen Qingqiu rose as he stepped on his head pushing him intk the floor, Luo Binghe turned his nose just in time befkre it made contact.

He grunted, unable to move. Only riding it out until his scum Shizun got it out of his system. But this sucked.

 “What a degenrate beast, thinking he can take advantage of his Shizun. You don’t care aboht getting stronger only using that as an axcuse to get away with being disrespectful.”

Luo Binghe opened his mouth then closed it, to be fair…Luo Binghe did enjoy being able to clap back and roast Shen Qingqiu and even being beaten bloody and blue he thought-

Worth it!

Shen Qingqiu noticed then pushed his foot down harder.

Luo Binghe scowled.

 “With this type of punishment sometimes wonder werher you get off on this, Shizun.”

Shen Qingqiu paused, “What did you say?”

“Visiting all those brothels, and favouring Ning Yingying so, what if sineone where to walk in right now and see this, wouldn’t they jump to conclusions?”

Shen Qingqiu gripped his fan- ha a reaction! Even the original goods had never made him break his fan!

Luo Binghe wanted a record, lips twitching.

 “Whose the degenerate now? Pervert Shizun.” 

 Shen Qingqiu grabbed his hair yanking it back then slammed him into the floor.

 It was too quick to hurt.

All Luo Binghe knew was the blood pouring down his nose all over Shizuns lamenated flooring.

 “Clean yourself up. Then come back and clean this mess and if this stains this master will,”

Luo Binghe looked up at him tiredly, raisng an eyebrow.

 He’ll what? Beat him, burn him?

Kill him?

Ha! he can try he’s the motherfucking protagonist!

 Shen Qingqiu paused, eyes narrowing and Luo Binghe had to inwardly cackle.

Ha he did it! He broke Shen Qingqiu!

 Who knew his tried and true method of pissing of trolls online was apathy and not caring! Peerless cucumber for the win!

 Luo Binghe bowed, “if that’ll be all Shizun, this Binghe will return to clean his mess.”

That you made, he left unsaid.

After that things went…wrong.

Shen Qingqiu ignored him.

No one bullied him, no one hit him. Even when Luo Binghe poured tea all over Shen Qingqius head, it was scalding hot too!

He wasn’t punished.

No. No. No. no-

 The endless abyss was only a year away! 

And are you freaking kidding me! What wanting to get punished made Shen Qingqiu finally act like a decent Shizun!?

That asshole.

Whenever he saw him Luo Binghe couldn’t help but glare his scowl darkening and saw the smug bastards smirk.

 It was awful, Luo Binghe was so used to being on the attack and on guard.

So now he jumped at the slighest sound, thank god no one was there to see him flinch away from a bunny!

And his workload was depleted! He barely had any chores and suddenly realised he had so much free time!

Damn that scumbag!

 Its funny, the lriginal goods would give his left leg to be treated this way…as an actual disciple of Qing Jing Peak and yet…

 It felt wrong. Luo Binghe was completely thrown off it almost affected his appetite!

…

Wait.

Luo Binghe paused, the endless abyss was a matter of survival.

He was going to have to get used to not drinking water or finding food as well as fighting.

 Luo Binghe, who was going through the motions as he sparred with the rest of the disciples, going through the qing jing peak forms-

He never did before, too busy doing chores to never realise his manual was fake.

…he could’ve went to Mu Qingfang but knew his meridians were healthy and could easily be called a liar.

So he instead left two manuals on Shen Qingqius desk and wrote in the best caligraphy to ever grace the earth;

“I know this is a fake asshole.”

Of course Luo Binghes writing was awful in lessons! But now that Shen Qingqiu was no longer punishing him. Luo Binghe didnt hold back or doodle anymore.

Instead writing as many pages as he could neatly and was done befkre the glass.

The only irritation when Shen Qingqiu realised was a slight eye twitch.

 As well as other lessons, easily able to create the object they were supposed to paint before Shen Qingqiu could even critisice him Luo Binghe beat him to it.

 “The perspective is off and the bounce light is coming from the wrong direction. This disciple apologises for wasting paint.” He spoke in a bored tone.

The other disciples whose work was way worse felt themselves drop in shame.

If Luo Binghes was bad how in the fuck where they going to compete!?

 With all this three time, he decided to spend every moment in the library and study demonic beasts.

His memory was good and he of course knew every single weakness how cluld he not? The monsters were the only redemable thing in PIDW.

Poor Binghe he deserved better!

 He could train with Liu Qingge? Maybe say hey my Shizun is better than you and I can prove it fight me!

 Huh thats a plan. 

But the fact that Liu Qingge was alive was weird, after asking around it turns out Shang Qinghua had something to do with that…

 It was strange- but he didnt have time for that he had to focus! And being hungry was really making it hard.

Even so better doing this now in an enviroment where the wkrst thing that can happen is him collapsing.

Other than the abyss where he might end up dying.

 His head was splitting, he could barely sleep because of the pain.

  There had to be good spots in the abyss for water but airplane skipped it!

Oh no the porn was more improtant than survival! Dumb fuck!

Even so, he had to be lerfect in class, as well as remain consistent in his spars and able to face off against disciples.

And he was doing great! He wasnt hungry as much he could still fight okay the headaches he had grown used to so its fine!

 If he couldn’t fight hand to hand with a freakin disciple then how the fuck was he going to last one day in the abyss!

What Luo Binghe didnt know was he was the world child and the abyss wouldn’t be so bad in the sense it was supposed to make him stronger.

In the original story, Luo Binghe only clawed his way out for his hatred for Shen Qingqiu.

The system was very aware that this Luo Binghe…had no ambition.

 With nothing to keep him motivated, Luo Binghe may give up and so the system had no choice but to make the abyss easier.

Although technically it wasn’t unlike the original goods who was tossed in unprepared, terrible base, and ignorant.

This Luo Binghe has been training so of course it was going to be easier.

 But seriously host was damaging himself!

Luo Binghe, was panting harshly, his hands weak.

 He had to pace himself.

He knew his stomach would shrink if he stopped eating, he couldnt over indulge or he might hurt hinself or his stkmach might explode.

He had to get used to smaller bites.

 And learn how to ration food.

It got to the point where even Shen Qingqius food which used to smell heavenly just smelled.

It was still good. But he didnt want to eat it.

He knew logically his food tasted good, he just didnt care for it.

 When he delivered placing it down before his Shizun.

 Remebering the time Shizun found out his meals were cooked by Binghe! Was pricless he looked like he could cough up blood! 

The truth cane out when Binghes hands were injured, and of course he couldn’t train so he bawled telling Shizun not his hands how will he cook for him!?

 Thats when Shen Qjngqiu found out, and he had the most darkest mood ever.

The disciples of course took it out on Binghe, then he remembered oh yeah, Luo Binghe lost a limb in the abyss! Ergo more training!

So he was able to dodge and fight his way out with just his legs!

The fact that he was in a tree when Shen Qingqiu found him, with a ton of disciples tormening him he almkst laughed at Shen Qingqius face!

 Oh if only he still had a cellphone.

Ah if only his hands could work and take one too!

Instead Luo Binghe decided to paint Shen Qingqiu and it had to be his best work yet!

He had to admit it was the only healthy way to get the aggresion out his system. 

Art was therapytic no matter what Qingqiu said!

 And his woodshed was…covered.

On one hand he wanted to hide them, on the other?

He wanted someone to see and get pissed and punish him for it.

Now, Luo Binghe thought bored, he never gets punished. He was starting to miss it.

 doodling another Shen Qingqiu, his fault for being so handsome!

He drew Ming fan occasionally as well as the other male disciples.

Ying shijie always pouted that he never drew her as his french girl.

But he couldn’t!

Knowing the relationship the two had, anything could trigger a romance he did t want to risk it!

Men were safer!

He just said drawing ugly people was better to learn, Ning Yingying is too lretty unfortunatly!

She flushed then decided to say nothing else.

 Even so, Ming Fan was growing into his looks, he wasnt as gokd looking as Binghe but he no longer looked like an awful mini Scum.

 Luo Binghe was so tired he found his limbs shaking.

 His clothes were too big and he kept tripping on them.

And his head was pounding.

 One foot then-

He blinked his eyes open to see a ceiling, what?

 He tried to get up until a hand grabbed his head and lushed him back down.

Luo Binghe yelped, looking up to see Shen Qingqius dark face.

What? Was he upset Binghe was still alive? Well sorry oh great and bountiful Shizun this Binghe will try harder next time!

Shen Qingqius lips twitched into a sneer.

“Luo Shizi. Please don’t try to kill yourself no matter how much you want praise from someone.”

 Luo Binghe blanched, did he say that outloud?

“Now, might want me to explain why Luo Shizi is neglecting hinself?”

Mu Qingfang asked sktging before Luo Binghe.

It was…weird seeing two peaklords staring him down…

“Um, This Binghe wanted to be prepared in case…at any point found himself somewhere with no food or water and had to survive.”

He spoke, it was a very valid fear! Anything can happen to a cultivator!

“Why would you think that would happen to you- to take such an extreme risk such as this, to prevent it?”

 Luo Binghe’s eyes flickered to Shen Qingqiu for a split second but it was enough to make Shen Qingqiu snap.

“You really believe this Lord will do that to you?”

Luo Binghe stared at him and Shen Qingqiu looked more annoyed.

“Stop looking at me like that!”

Like what? Was he pulling a face?

(He was, he always gave Shen Qingqiu that look when he thought the kfher was being fumb)

“Luo Shizu has Shen Qingqiu done something to make you act this way, has he hurt you?”

“No.”

Both spoke at the same time, Shen Qingqiu looked surprised at Luo Binghe who stared straight ahead at Mu Qingfang.

 “This Binghe, has never been harmed by Shizun. In fact this one has been spoiled! This Binghe only wants to get stronger and prove that Shizun didnt make a mistake in making me his disciple!”

Mu Qingfang melted “Oh Shizi, you don't have to prove yourself. Afterall most of the peak knows that you are a gifted young student!”

Now Luo Binghe paused, sorry what? Since when!?

 “So theres no need to push yourself. You are a growing boy! And developing an eating disorder in this stage could damage your cultivation!”

Luo Binghe blinked, well…no it won't matter to a heavenly demon.

To a human sure, maybe but he was the protagonist he would be fine!

“Shen Qingqiu, you’ll have to watch him.”

Oh sweet! Shen Qingqiu wouldn’t give a shit! As long as Luo Binghe was careful and ate a little bit he wouldn’t collapse and be more careful he should be fine!

Both noticed Luo Binghe perk, Mu Qingfang felt something ease to know how much the disciples loved their Shizun.

Meanwhile Shen Qingqiu gave the other a narrowed eyed stare on why the thought of Shen Qingqiu watching him would being him delight?

As soon as they walked back to Qing Jing Peak, Luo Binghe turned in the direction of the wood shed to continue reading his books until he choked as the back of his collar was tugged yanking him back.

 “Where do you think you’re going?”

Shen Qingqiu asked, lightly fanning his face while holding Binghe by the scruff like a misbehaving dog.

 “My…room?”

Shen Qingqiu’s eyes twitched.

“You really believe this lord is going to leave you unsupervised?”

Luo Binghe gave him that look again.

 And Shen Qingqiu’s first impulse was to slap him.

 He held back, knowing his wayward disciple probably enjoyed that!

“Since this Shizun has been so neglectful of his poor student,” 

Luo Binghe twitched, tensing up waiting for the guillotine.

What was his Shizun up to?

 “This Lord will have to personally take care of you hinself.”

Luo Binghe blinked then froze.

Shit.

Shit!

He had no idea this could happen- but to be fair he thought his Shizun would bite off his own tongue rather than pretend to be caring for someone like Binghe!

 “From now on you will be living with me in the side room at the bamboo house.”

If Shen Qingqiu wasn’t holding him Luo Binghe would’ve fell on his ass.

 What?

“Come on, what meagee things did you need at your room that you were in a hurry to get?”

Luo Bknghe grit his teeth and had to turn stiffly as he walked towards the wood shed and entered.

Shen Qingqiu stayed at the doorway not entering, and instead watching Luo Binghe gather his books and manual.

 He checked the contents making sure it wasn't another fake one the shoved it in a quirken pouch.

 He wasn't stupid or had an eating disorder for christ's sake!

 He just could be reliant on constant fokd only to die of something silly like starvation or hunger day 3 in the abyss!

 And Shen Qingqiu did not even comment on the wood shed being his room other than the dorms.

The bastard.

 “I’m ready, Shizun.”

Instead Shen Qingqiu didn't move, baring his exit while he stood on the doorway.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?”

 His eyes flickered to the back wall.

…that was full of his paintings and charcoal sketches of Shen Qingqiu and…others.

Okay sure after fighting Liu Qingge he had to draw him too!

 Luo Binghe didn't move.

“The disciples can use it as tinder for the fire if needed. So why move them?”

 Luo Binghe tilted his head, “And Shizun does not expect this disciple to live in the side room for the next foreseeable future this Binghe will return back to the woodshed in no time so why move them?” He asked, tilting his head to the side.

Shen Qingqku snapped his fan shut and turned with a flourish of his robes.

How unfair, Binghe was still in his disciple era and can't do that yet.

 With each step he followed Shen Qingqiu to his new home, mulish expression on his face.

  The other disciples scowled darkly at him in envy.

Afterall its the first time any one other than the head disciple had been so close to the peak lord.

 Luo Binghe went straight to the side room and started tidying.

 He’ll have to sort out the linen sheets and wash them, dust, then wipe the floor, open the window for ventilation-

 He ended up washing the sheets outside and once they were dry with a tailsman he brought then back then paused to see his room was done.

Somebody had already cleaned and wiped down the floor.

The window was open allowing a nice cool breeze in the warn room.

“Ming Fan had finished your room. All you have to do is put your things away. You are under direct orders from Mu Qingfang not to over exert yourself.”

Luo Binghe scowled “Yes, Shizun.” 

It was a nightmare.

His Shizun would demand lunch and watch Luo Binghe eat then would make sure he didn't go to the bathroom to throw it up-

Like he would!

 Shen Qjngqiu even told him to stop eating when he seemed to realise it was too much for Binghes recovering stomach before even he knew.

 Even so he was monitored, made sure he slept and didn't read well into the night.

When Shen Qingqiu learned this he ended up tying Binghe in immortal binding cables and laying him in bed.

 Shen Qjngqiu was more aggrieved to learn that's why he was sleeping through his lessons.

 He couldn’t train as much, and usually Luo Binghe would act cool and aloof.

 But this was killing him.

Ming Fan was taking some sick delight out of this he knew it.

 And Luo Binghe’s temper was growing short, the immortal alliance was coming up soon and with the way this was going he was not going to survive.

 [Host! In order to complete the endless abyss arc- user has to prove he can enter the immortal alliance conference or he may be dropped from the list!]

…what?

“I- I can skil the abyss?”

[Luo Binghe must enter the abyss. Failure to do so Hkst will be ejected from his body and restored to the original one]

Luo Binghe blinked, placing a hand over his chest at the thought.

 He had to get better or he wont jump to his possible death?

What was the point?

 Luo Binghe clutched his arms, and made himself smaller in the room.

Okay. Okay he can deal with this.

The next morning, Luo Binghe felt as if he was run over by a truck.

 His emotions were all over the place… probably from his fucked up diet. 

 He glanced up at Shen Qingqiu who ate with poise.

Mu Qingfang told him it was better if Binghe ate with someone. And that someone had to be his scumbag shizun.

He really didn't understand him…you'd think he’d encourage this type of behaviour? 

 “Stop staring and eat your food, mongrel.”

What a dick.

Luo Binghe was pushing his food around and forced himself to take a bite.

“Shizun?”

“What.”

Luo Binghe stared down at his food.

“If this disciple regulated his eating habits only to then fall back into the same habits later down in the future- what would happen?”

“You would die.”

Shit-fuck!

“So this disciple should stop eating now instead-“

He was hot with a fan.

It was less painful that anything Shen Qingqiu has done to him before. It just surprised him.

 “Why prepare for something that may never happen? Why not just build your own grave then lie in it and be done with it? Theres no point wasting this masters time by making you a disciple just to watch you throw it away. You can’t be trusted, that is no longer your body. It’s mine, not one scratch, not one bruise and not one bone protruding without my say so.”

Luo Binghe scowled down at his food.

So now he cares? 

 “This one can still function as a disciple discreetly if you're worried about what others think. Contrary to popular belief I don't want to die.”

Shen Qingqiu looked unimpressed,

“Then what do you call this? Do you miss those punishments so much you would reduce yourself to self harm?”

Luo Binghe blinked, “Self harm? This is only to get stronger, now this Binghe can function without headaches after skipping meals compared to before-“

“Stop.” Shen Qingqiu really looked irritated.

“You are a cultivator, if you don't want to eat work on your core instead, so you have inedia.”

He would but Meng Mo told him if he pushes his core anymore his demonic cultivation will throw it out of balance. So far he’s been working on building that up. 

 By the systems calculations he wouldn’t be able to unlock that ability for the abyss.

To make it more angsty for the readers.

For fucks sake.

So now he was back at square one. Couldn’t train like before and had to go back to the same amount of chores as the others. Finishing quicker but befkre he could even help Shen Qingqiu would aopear like his fucking shadow and punish the ones Luo Binghe helped.

Shen Qingqiu realised he was fine with punishments but when others got hurt on his account Luo Binghe would back off!

Why!?

The original Luo Binghe would be ecstatjc to have such a kind and caring Shizun! But he had to wonder what the fuck changed!?

 Luo Binghe in PIDW did everything to get Shizuns approval but was kicked into the abyss for it! He was punished for breathing!

Now Luo Binghe would give anything to chop wood till his fingers bled or feel the burn of the whip on his back!

And it wasn’t weird he was just under stimulated! 

 He needed to do something!

So he ended up in the kitchen aggressively cooking deserts.

 And it smelled nice.

He already over cooked a ton to feed the entire peak!

He sighed after pulling out his last batch.

 May as well give them out, wouldn’t want to waste food.

“Strange how you can cook such delicious foods yet treat them so callously.”

Luo Binghe flinched, fuck me!

He didn't even hear the devil come in!

Luo Binghe glared, another thing he would’ve been punished for, and yet Shen Qingqiu only seemed amused by it.

…was his Shizun bipolar or what!?

 Luo Binghe glanced away.

“This disciple was only stress baking, I bought the ingredients myself so it's not wasting Qing Jing Peaks resources.”

 Shen Qingqiu picked up one of the steam pead flour cakes he just baked and tasted it.

 Luo Binghe waited for the verdict.

 He hoped Shen Qingqiu wasn’t going to make him eat all this food he may actually develop an ED if he did.

“Eat this.”

Luo Binghe fucking called it.

Before he could even reach for one, Shen Qingqiu pushed the food towards his mouth, Luo Binghe had to eat otherwise it would make a mess.

 Suddenly flavour exploded on his tongue.

It tasted so good, of course it was the protagonist cooking!

 He slowly chewed  then swallowed it.

 “How did it taste?”

“Good.”

What was Shen Qingqiu getting at?

“So what is the problem,”

Luo Binghe tilted his head. Was it bothering him that much that Binghe refused food?

 “Its not the taste of the food. Its the fear that I’ll grow so dependent on it and find that I suddenly cant have it.”

“But getting stronger and studying beasts, what's the point in that if you run your body into the ground.”

Luo Binghe had enough, throwing the tray of food to the side.

“Why do you suddenly care!? You whipped me because I talked back but you dont do that now- I starved in that wood shed you never cared, my back was bloody my hands mangled you did not care. So why start now? You may be fine with acting like the kind Shizun. The great Xiu ya Peak Lord Shen, but excuse me for not buying it. For waiting for the other shoe to drop. 

 So what will it be next? After this would it be sleeping? Is that going to be our new thing once this is done? How many mkre ways do you need to torture me.”

“You torture yourself. I did nothing.”

Yet.

But he will throw Luo Binghe of a cliff into the abyss to kill him.

 “You hurt yourself then blame me. You enjoyed those punishments as training, so I stopped realising it was teaching you the wrong lesson. You’re different from other disciples, stupid. To think this is how any respectable cultivator would train-“

“I’m not a cultivator.” Luo Binghe spoke tiredly, looking at Shen Qingqiu with a bored expression on his face.

 It riled Shen Qingqiu up.

“This one was an unwanted disciple, a waste. All because Ning Shiejie wanted a shidi and you wanted to win one over Liu Qingge. Because he wanted me first.”

 Shen Qingqius eyes widened and Luo Binghe looked down.

“You never wanted this disciple, and this Binghe is fine with that. But after giving me a fake cultivation manual, making me fight elder hammer with posion that could kill me. How can you blame this one for flinching waiting for a third blow?”

Shen Qingqiu looked shocked that Luo Binghe even knew that much.

He walked past, ignoring the food plans of distributing it around the peak forgotten.

 Luo Binghe sat before Shen Qingqiu. Forgetting that he had to eat with the devil.

The only thing that gets Luo Binghe through the day is karma.

Everytime something unfortunate happens to Shen Qingqiu (who had such unfortunate luck) 

 He would bare witness to it.

Being bested in a duel by Qi Qingqi. He ended up cheering her on the loudest.

 Seeing Shen Qingqiu try to practise sword fighting and making a huge hole in qing jing peak.

He acted like he did it on purpose but Luk Bknghe was fascinated by his tells and knew the man was embarrassed.

Dropping a tea kettle on his foot he even hopped up and down with a yelp.

That was the best one!

Thoughts like that got him through.

He ate mindlessly not tasting anything. And had to stop when his stomach ached. 

“Keep eating.”

Luo Binghe paused, “What?”

“Keep eating. After all this Shizun is cruel and would force poor Binghe to starve so keep eating.”

What a petty bitch.

 Luo Binghe did staring right at Shen Qingqiu and kept eating. Until his bowl was finished.

His stomach was killing him.

But he ignored it.

 Then he began to swallow more, saliva pooling in his mouth, and-

Luo Binghes eyes widened, he dropped his bowl into the floor and lunged for the bathroom, even Shen Qingqiu flinched at the breakneck speed then grimaced when he heard Luo Binghe throw up.

 Luo Binghe didnt eat the next day.

And Shen Qingqiu was begging to lose his temper.

“If you don’t eat properlly you’re not going to the immortal alliance conference!”

God dammit!

 Luo Binghe had to admit defeat.

He had half a year left, it would make it more difficult but he had no choice.

 He started slow, eating fruits out in the open after training where everyone would see.

Starting off small.

 Sharing snacks and eating them himself, and when it came to big meals, would still leave food left but not as much as before.

Its fine, when he’s in the abyss he knows what to expect.

 He faces monsters in the beginning, has to keep moving into the centre where he finally finds some springs for water, but no food. Maybe he can prepare a quirken pouch to take supplies.

After all what if water is stored in things, like plants, or trees or even rocks!

It can happen!

 If he has tools to store water, and food and make it last then thats eight out of ten problems.

 Then theres madam meiyans adventures with the succubus clan…hmm, he really wants to skip it.

Losing his first time in an abyss is not the best place, but he would need new clothes…

He had no idea while he was recovering eating, passing Mu Qingfangs bill of health.

 Everyone even peaklords praised Shen Qingqiu for being there for his disciple and helping him through somethimg so trying.

It pissed him off.

No one gave a shut ablut his eating habits, he sweats mu Qingfangs care for his own disciple than his fellow maritial sibling.

 And Shen Qingqiu knew Luo Binghe.

That look in his face when he was alone, the anxiety, and panic before settling down.

 It was refreshing. Before Luo Binghe would always show that fake smile and act friendly but underneath Shen Qjngqku knew something was wrong with the kid.

The relief when he finally showed his true colours and stopped pretending.

If its one thing, Shen Qingqiu hates its liars.

 But no, Luo Binghe may be showing signs he was okay maybe he really is over this bad habit.

 But now its when a new habit appears.

He mentioned sleeping so now Shen Qingqiu is more vigilant making sure he goes to bed on time and stops studying those demon books.

Why is Binghe even writing notes on how to defeat a monty python rhino? 

 He’s too young to be fighting that- he was given a list on what to fight in the alliance why was he studying something else!?

“Maybe he’s trying to copy you?”

Shen Qingqiu paused, lowering the tea cup from his lips.

“Excuse me?”

Mu Qingfang only looked at him cooly.

 “Its not a secret that Shen Qingqiu doesnt sleep, is a bright young man but is weak in his cultivation, and is too skinny.”

Shen Qingqiu scowled. “Thats ludicrous and untrue. He’s never went to a brothel.”

So there!

“Not yet, maybe it’ll happen in time.”

“Why would Binghe copy me?”

“Most do, to someone they respect, or idolise. Maybe wanted to understand you better.”

No. Mu Qingfang is definitely wrong at this.

“Binghe is making his own mistakes. He’s not following mine.”

Mu Qingfang hummed, “Its only a theory, unless he starts showing…signs. Maybe you might have to have the talk.”

Shen Qingqku stared then his eyes narrowed “Certainly not. That's the hallmasters job!” 

“Maybe there's a lot of things he doesn't know-“

“He had a mother. She would’ve told him.”

…

“What?”

As Luo Binghe came back ho- the bamboo house he wanted to collapse onto his bed.

 He wanted to skip dinner so bad but he had to eat now.

Like a respectful adult ugh! 

 “Binghe!”

“I have moon cakes! I’m eating moon cakes from Ning Yingying!”

He snapped back, he just got into bed! Now he had to stomp because Shizun would want him face to face.

The typical parent yelling for their kid then not answering when they respond.

 “Not that, impertinent brat. Sit.”

Luo Binghe sat. What? What could his bipolar Shizun want now?

 “If you visit brothels or make nong yingying pregnant I will castrate you,”

Whoa- what!?

Luo Binghe blinked “Shizun, this disciple must have hit his head at sparring today and didnt hear you right. Can you please repeat that?”

What the fuck?

Shen QingQiu sneered down at him.

 “Someone brought to my attention that you like to copy me.”

Luo Binghe started looking around and Shen Qingqiu scowled.

“What are you doing.”

“Looking for my fan. But I can’t seem to find it.”

As well as tge stick up my ass but thats not there either so clearly he’s not copying!

“Being a recluse, hiding away from others and assuming the worst of others and your strange relationship with food then you mentioned sleeping habits….”

Luo Binghe glanced back up, surprised.

 Even Shen Qingqiu…?

Luo Binghe glanced back down then realised where Shen Qingqiu was going with this-

“I don't need the talk!” He yelped face red. He did not-

He stood up walking away.

 “I’m not copying you- I’m not going to end up in a brothel with tons of women-!”

Although original Binghe would’ve-

That wasnt him!

He wasnt interested in a harem! Maybe find some girl settle down study beasts get a bet one.

Oh how cool would that be?

The protagonist with a giant fucking wolf as his companion?

Yeah a big heckin chihuahua. 

 Luo Binghe had to start cooking something or he was going to go nuts.

 …Shen Qingqiubeas seriously starting ti scare him.

When his diet was back to normal, his workout began again. And now he was studying arrays.

 Fucking stupid, he was.

Why didn't he think of this before? Keeping food hot or frozen to last longer.

And even have inside pockets so he wint lose his shit willy nilly!

He soent all his tike studying, and sewing and-

Bang!

Most of it exploded in his face.

“Shizun!”

“Don’t tell Shizun!”

It was an accident! It wasn’t on purpose!

But Nong Yingying snitched and now he had to go over sewing techniques and arrary work with the hallmaster again.

 And when they saw what he was trying to make they laughed. Claiming it was impossible.

Luo Binghe gree mullish, fuck you he’s the protagonist he can fucking do it!

 After hiding away from prying eyed and working on smaller fabrics was able to make a heating AND freezing charm.

He experimented with cold foods first to see if they stayed frozen in the pouch then crowed with delight that it worked!

Now to make it bigger!

 And just like that he was able to store large amounts of food in his pouch oldest at the friend newest at the back sk nothing got too spoiled.

 He was so giddy.

After making tons of pouches and even showing them off and how they worked and why they existed.

Shen Qingqiu cleared his throat.

 “Write your progress into a report. We’ll place your findings in the library with the rest.”

Huh…huh!?

“And Binghe.”

Luo Binghe stood at attention as Shen Qingqiu gazed down at him.

“You are approved to go to the immortal alliance. Do not disappoint me.”

 What oh- oh fuck YES!

-he wanted to ditch these disciples why join kf they’re going to struggle!?

Then the demons arrive! About time! Ah these were mich better to fight than the easy ones!

Even the spiders were easy!

 “Everyone! There is a snow flower that is a deterent to demons! Up this way!”

Once they were safe did Luo Binghe sigh with relief.

 At least now, its all on him.

“I’ll go find help!”

He left the disciples before they could utter a word.

Now alone all he had to do was wander aimlessly until the abyss opened.

 He was nervous, like exams, dentist, and blood tests all into one.

 He just wanted it over with. As soon as he was in the abyss the better.

 “Binghe.”

“Fu- Shizun!?” He nearly died- what the hell? 

Oh yeah, Shizun was supposed to toss him in.

 “What is Shizun doing here?”

Shen Qingqiu scowled, “Rescuing disciples such as yourself. Come on.”

Mobei-jun comes in, and Luo Binghe feels his hands shaking as he watched as Shang Qinghua was hit into a tree.

 This was wrong.

Shen Qingqiu was actually fighting a demon and telling Binghe to run?

“Hmm, what a weak cultivator.”

Shen Qingqiu growled, “You demonic spawn- this Peak Lord is the Xiu ya sword! And you will fall by my blade!”

Shizun was hurt.

Shen Qingqiu evaded the most of the ice crystals, but was pinned to a tree by a viscious one.

Shen Qingqiu may die.

Luo Binghe moved, not even aware just lunging for the ice demon with a yell, swiping his sword down.

 He’d forgotten all of his training, only using his bare hands as Mobei-jun looked at him with interest.

“Binghe- run stupid boy!”

Luo Binghe wasn’t paying attention, instead he evaded even getting slammed into the ground, almost breaking his arm he ignored it, until Mobei-jun grabbed his head.

“Hmm, human but not.”

Wait- the monty python…

Luo Binghes eyes widened as a clawed hand reached towards his face, he screamed at the pure agony in his forehead as he was dropped to the floor. 

 He clutched his skull feeling the mark of sin burn into his forehead his whole body becoming liquid fire when his demonic core burned through his meridians along side his spirtual veins.

 Luo Binghe panted, fuck he felt awful.

Mobei-jun replaced the rhino… why was it different?

“Beast.”

Luo Binghe looked up, eyes drooped and out of it. Until a sword touched his neck.

Luo Binghe stiffened, remembering where he was and what he was supposed to do.

“Shizun? Want to tell me what your doing?”

“Who are you calling Shizun, demon mutt?”

Ah back to pet names huh? Luo Binghe hummed, “This disciple is just as surprised as you.”

He glanced to the side and saw Zheng Lang destroyed.

 “Shizun, can you do this one a favour?”

“No.”

Luo Binghe shifted back, and stood up, Shen Qingqiu held his sword high, green eyes almost black with the dark scowl on his face.

 Luo Binghe took another step back, then another.

  His eyes remained on his sword, he really…wanted to take the sword with him…having a sword would be easier in the abyss now he can’t.

He missed the wide eyes look of his Shizun, missed the panic as Binghe took another step back.

 “Shizun, can you fix my sword? Say…Luo Binghe died…a human.”

Shen Qingqkus eyes widened, his sword faltering, as Luo Binghe took another step back.

 Then felt the ledge under his foot and paused.

 “This one has always trained for this…You were never a good Shizun, but this past year…” Luo Binghe turned to look down at the abyss, his chest suddenly tightening, it was terrifying, he was scared. Who wouldn’t be?

 He was procrastinating at this point, the timer ticking down.

 “I think I might miss you. Shen Qingqiu.” Luo Binghe smiled, showing all his teeth no different to how he looked before he did something to piss Shen Qingqiu off.

Then he fell, falling back into the abyss, eyes squeezed tight breathing heavily to hold in his scream.

 The rift shut with a snap.

Leaving Shen Qingqiu with his hand held out, eyes wide in shock.

 He fell to his knees, wounded, in pain…and numb.

All this time he wanted to do away with that brat, he dreamed off it-

Now?

“Shen Qingqiu!”

“Shen-Shidi!”

His eyes slid over to the broken sword…he moved and began to pick up the pieces.

 He may as well honour that brat. And do this one thing for him.

____________

Luo Binghe almost collapsed against the broken stairway, almost there.

 He lost track of time of how long he was in the abyss. He barely had time to think or feel, just respond to each attack and survive.

The only reprieve was when he found a little oasis when the system would pipe up.

 And tell him hints with b-points that he earned in the development arc Disciple days.

Luo Binghe almost slumped with relief, food and water was scarce, it was worse than Qing Jing Peak, he knew if he woke up he would be halfway down a beasts mouth.

 -gets a dog

-loses a dog

System makes him go to madam meiyan.

“You upled the difficulty on purpose!?”

[stop doing side quests and go to madam meiyan! You need new clothes and then you can get Xin Mo!]

Luo Binghe paused, Xin Mo?

“Why didn’t you say so?”

Like an autistic stuck in a closet and forgotten about, Luo Binghe was actually getting used to the abyss.

 But after the loss of Pear…

Yeah, he wanted to call him mini peerless cucumber but that was a mouthful in the abyss. But he wanted it affiliated wkth fruit and thought Pear was a good name.

 When Pear was ripped to shreds in front of him, Binghe drove off any cute baby animal that got too close.

He thought that as the protagonist- he really wanted to go home with lear, watch him get bigger and be an intimadating badass!

 The system knew he was dodging basic Luo Binghe plots and waa dojng his own thing so to give him angst it decided to make him break down.

Losing his pet, his one stability, his confirt in this wasteland. Shen Qingqiu never betrayed him, so he had to accept loss in one way or another.

It just sucked!

And so after finally trudging up to Madam Meiyan, reluctently, then felt bad because she was nice.

He told her he didnt want anything to happen in the abyss, not until he was safe.

 She patged his hand yet still helped him get new clothes.

She didnt act like the femme fatale side fling of Luo Binghe. She acted like a caring older sister.

He slumped in gratitude, and finally adorned the black and red robes.

He checked himsekf oht in the mirror lerking up. 

Now that is a protagonist!

 Complete lady killer! But not in this world!

Luo Binghe, as a reader, always thought if at any point he would have to marry?

It’d be Liu mingyan.

She was smart, strong and cool. Best girl.

 Even so Madam Meiyan was so kind, it almost made Luo Binghe cry.

 Even so, he couldn’t stay in the den long, thats just inviting disaster.

 He began his journey again, rationing his food and thankful that other than the beggining, at least food was no loner scarce and he could eat and not have to worry.

 [That could also be inedia]

Or that too!

Even so, the monsters had to get stronger thats how you level up!

And Luo Binghe wasted no time grinding he wasnt a newb!

He was going to keep fighti bf every single demon he could lay his on to get stronger.

 [Host is procastinating to avoid Xin Mo]

He was not!

…maybe- even so he needed duel cultivation to deal with it.

And he didnt want to deal with it.

So when he finally made it up the stairwell, leaning heavily on the wall and leaving blood and ichor on the pale stone,

He saw Xin Mo in tge centre of the room.

 Before he was scared, now he had to get over it.

 He beat his training, he was literally having a vacation in the abyss, after Xin Mo magbe that will no linger be a problem.

He approached extending his hand and grasped the handle.

Quiet.

Then a sudden flood of screams, intense rage and anger swarmed into him.

He grimaced falling to his knees, breathing his throat aching when he realised he was screaming too.

[Host! Soend b-points to temper Xin Mo?]

Yes yes a hundred times yes!

The screams didnt stop, but dulled down to a feint baackgfound noise.

God how did Luo Binghe deal with this.

He raised his arm and sliced downwards into an arc and a portal opened up.

Luo Binghe gazed at it like the first sunset honest delight on his face.

He didnt think it would work the first time!

 As he stepped through the portal still open he glanced at the sword and three it back into the portal.

“Yeet.”

Instead it slung back missing his neck to slam into the tree behind him.

The portal closed.

[Host and Xin Mo are bonded for life. Only destrkying Xin Mo can release its hold.]

Luo Binghe brushed a hand over his face, really?

At least that was his new goal. Destroy Xin Mo.

The system even had the nerve to make that as a bullet point on his list lf tasks.

[What else will host do now that he’s free?]

Well other than the abyss, he didnt have to do the other plot points.

 He didnt have to return to cang Qiong. Or even go to Huan Hua.

 He coukd just wander PIDW to his hearts content and fight monsters, rescue damsels, without marrying them.

It sounds like a dream-

[Warning! Character arrival! Task: defeat important character!]

Mobei-jun appeared even seeming surprised to see Luo Binghe.

What? Why? Why!?

[To fix plot holes ;)]

You tricked me!

Luo Binghe leaped back, evading Mobei-Jun attack- it was weird.

How weaker Mobei-Jun was.

He could kill him, just use Xin Mo and sate it for now…but Mobei-Jun was a loyal fighter…

And he wont be able to spar with Liu-Shishu again. As Luo Binghe kept dodging, considering expression on his face, he was unaware it kept pissing off Mobei-Jun.

“Take this seriously!”

Oh? Ah he was being rude. Compared to when he was a child, he was easily slammed into the ground.

Luo Binghes claws extended as he grabbed Mobei-Jun by the throat and slammed him into the ground.

Mobei-Jun grunted eyes wide to see Luo Binghe straddling on top of him heavenly sigil glowing with red demonic eyes looking down at Mobei-Jun like he was an interesting bug he decided to play with knstead of squish into the dirt beneith his biot.

“Do you lield and swear your loyalty to me, or should this one kill you know and save myself ghe trouble?”

Mobei-Jun swallowed eyes bright.

“This one will follow you, Junshang.”

[Congragulations! Luo Binghe is now a lord! Next task- defeat the saintess Sha Hualing to claim title as demon emporoer!]

Luo Binghe stood up leaving Mobei-Jun on the ground, onlivious to the ice kings new sexual awakening-  

And stared at the system.

“Are you telling me that I HAVE to do those plots?”

[Yes! Become a demon emporer! And also be adopted into Huan Hua! Investigate plot points! Revenge on Shen Qingqiu is optional!]

Oh?

[Merging the realms is also optional!]

Hmm.

Even so, the reason Luo Binghe merged the realms was because of paper work.

 He’ll need people, unlike the og Binghe who couldn’t trust anyone and had to hold his empire himself but also going on adventures and picking up flowers every five minutes? Garunteed his rule wouldn’t be great especially since Mobei-Jun kills his spy who also HAPPENED to be tge advisor.

 “Mobei-Jun.” He glanced over, time to start planning.

 “Not to be a pain, but this Binghe is tired. Can you be accomidating and give me a room? Prefferbly in your northern palace of course.”

Mobei-Jun looked stiff then nodded with a small bow.

“Of course Junshang.”

He opened up a portal and and was soon making his way to his new home.

Luo Binghe never liked the cold, in his former life or this one.

 But he’ll have to deal.

____

First order of buisness after dealing wkth Mobei-Juns unruly court.

 Linguang-Jun had to go.

Any infatuation Mobei-Jun had fizzled. Luo Binghe only sneered down at the blood smear of what was left of his uncle and said.

“Just some cannon fodder who didnt add to the plot, bound to backstab for further gain when given the chance.”

He had a point but still.

Then he demaded to see Shang Qinghua.

“Relax, Mobei. This lord only wants to reunite with his precious Shang-Shishu.”

Mobei-Jun kelt giving excuses, making Shamg Qinghua overworked on purpose so he would never meet their ecentric demon Lord.

Luo Binghe must have grown tired breaking Mobei-Juns hand and warning him that he was being polite but now enough was enough.

The three kf them sat at a table together, Luo Binghe spread like king, relaxed. A contrast to both Qinghua and Mobei-Jun who sat stiffly.

“So your the spy who ruined the immortal alliance and backstabbed Cang Qiong to align with demons! Never knew you had it in you Shishu!”

Shang Qinghua looked like he was going to vomit.

 Hmm, the man was always…different.

More cold. And evil.

This guy was a gerbil.

“Hmm, first order of buisness. Mobei-Jun.” Luo Binghe looked up glaring at him.

“No killing Shang Qinghua. No matter what, even if he betrays yourself or this Lord being him to me to punish, understood?”

That seemed to surprise both.

“J-Junshang? Thank you for the order on my behalf, but ks there any reaoson…to…”

Shang Qinghua lost his vouce the more Luo Binghe stared at him.

What? Whys he so scared for- he doesnt know me yet or how string I am-

[Host has a resting scary face]

That was just cruel.

“This lord…likes paperwork.” Luo Binghe spoke aving his sleeves and moving forward to pour tea.

 “Its calming, helps keep my thoughts organised. Excessive paper work, redundent paper work, incompetant paperwork is something I’d rather not do. If this lord plans on conquering the south or even plans on dessimating Huan Hua-“

Here Shang Qinghua twitched.

Other times he would’ve missed it.

But in the abyss any movement reflects so much.

“Havkng a base in the human realm and demon realm garuntess my hands will be full. Shang Qinghua is managing the northern realm as well as Cang qiong. Someone that competant will lighten the load.”

After making the tea he sliced his hand calmly watching the blood pour into the cup.

 He saw from the corner of his eye, Shang Qinghua breath hitched, his face pale.

“Here Shishu, drink. Swear your loyalty to this demon lord.”

He wondered why Luo Binghe never did this to his close subordinates in the first place.

Make sure he’d never get betrayed and reward people under his emply with healing beneifts.

Join Luo Binghe we have health care!

“Hmm, why so hesitent Shang-Shishu. You wont bettay this lord so what worry is there?”

Shang Qimghua gulped then grabbed the cup chugging it down.

Luo Binghe laced his fingers together as he gazed at Qinghua.

“Hmm? Does Shang Qinghua know something?”

Shang Qinghua was back to his pale trembling self.

 “N-no Junshang. This Qinghua knows nothing.”

…he’s lying.

Luo Binghe dropped the playful act and tilted his head.

Shang Qinghua immedietly started sweating buckets.

“Do you like reading Shang Qinghua?”

The other nodded “Y-yeah?”

Hmm.

“Theres a book this lord can’t stand, the worst literay piece ever known to man. I regret laying my eyes on such drivel. Its called Proud Immortal Demon way, has Shang Qinghua heard of it?”

It was instant, Shamg Qinghua almlst stopped breathing.

“Yes.”

Luo Binghe felt himself relax, and in turn Shang Qinghua looked like his strings were snapped.

Luo Binghe almost felt nad for him.

“Yes I didnt like that story, so I decided to change a few things in it.”

Shang Qinghua began to oerk.

And in turn Mobei-Jun began to glower-

Itvwas strange woth how a fee words he had Qinghua relaxing and leaning in closer.

 Mobei-Jun would’ve guessed it was the blood but he felt no different.

…or maybe…

No. He felt no different.

Of course when Shang Qinghua came running to him screaming he of course hid him out the way until it was junshang trucking towards them.

“Airplane!”

“Ah dont kill me!”

Mobei-Jun stood stiff “Mobei-Jun get out kf my way.”

“No killing Qinghua. Your order.”

Luo Binghe blinked then scowled at Qinghua who stuck his tongue out at him.

The killing intent was string even Mobei-Jun almlst buckled from it.

Luo Binghe scowled “Fine!”

“If I wanted to kill you, I would’ve used my blood parasites dipshkt.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Hmm hmm.”

“Your inside me-“

“What? Ew why are you like this!?”

A/n:

Shen Yuan: Luo Binghe was influenced by Xin Mo it wasnt his fault.

Shen Yuan as Luo Binghe with Xin Mo: does nothing inappropriote and is a distinguished gentlemen.

-Shen Qingqiu trial

Luo Binghe wanted nothing to do with the scumbag and just let the consequences of his actions continue their course.

 As Luo Binghe was investigating the origins if his parents (since the system was adament ablut it for some reason) he didnt think his inlut mattered.

 But then  it was his reputation that came into it.

 He realised he should have….maybe…thought this through.

 “Is it true that Shen Qingqiu abused his disciples?”

 If it was one thing, Luo Binghe wanted to be fair. Shen Qingqiu never abused him, but he may have murdered Qui Haitangs brother.

But if Luo Binghe expressed nothing was wrong then the whole cultivation world will see him as a backstabbing disciple!

 Luo Binghe was also…curious, why the original goods never invaded both dreams to see what really happened. Verify the evidence so to say.

 “This Binghe has his own personal reasons to remain here at Huan Hua.”

Not to mention, Shen Qingqiu could blackmail him as being a heavenly demon.

 Luo Binghe already felt like he could t relax and retire not with this threat looming at him.

“And Shen Qingqiu has never abused me.”

Here he saw Shen Qingqius twitch, and ignored it.

 “But his past with Qui Haitang is something I am unfamiliar with.” He could tell the tide was changing against him.

 To stand aside while his Shizun was being condemned? How unfilial.

“And so this Binghe has decided to personally investigate this case as a neutral party.”

Qui Haitang looked his way-

“What!? So you can hide evidence and help your scumbag Shizun!?” She yelled and Luo Binghe spoke.

“On the contrary, a rogue cultivator claiming a Peak Lord had murdered her entire family with only servants to survive? Where are such servants why is there not more witnessed to confirm this case? This could just as easily paint you Miss Haitang in a poor light with just the right defense.”

Luo Binghe gave her his best charming look, hoping to give off friendly big brother vibes to aplease her.

“Dont worry Miss Haitang. This Binghe will only uncover the truth on what happened that night and help you find peace.”

[Congragulations! +50 Charisma points for Miss Haitang! Possible love arc begin-]

No no no- it wasnt- no! Cancel love arc CANCEL!

-uses his dreams and finds out the truth from both.

Speaks to Shen Qingqiu in the water prison.

Hunts down servants. Who are scarred and reveal the abuse of Qui Jianlou and his crimes. How they speak kindly lf Shen Qingqiu who got them out.

 How Luo Binghe accidently saved Shen Qinqqiu-

“Why help this Master? It can’t be because you want to play the part pf a loving disciple? After all,”

Shen Qinqgiu leaned close, speaking softly so others wouldn’t hear.

“This master tried to kill you three times after all.”

Luo Binghe smiled, “This Binghe knew he had bigger threats to face, after knowing the trials I had to overcome…you didn’t seem that scary all of a sudden. And this Binghe knows of worse things to come that taking revenge on my scum Shizun seems like a waste of time to me.”

After Luo Binghe removed the red immortal binding cables, tenderly holding Shen Qingqius hand and unwrapping each rope, his eyes furrowed at how thin Shen Qingqius wrists had become. Shen Qinqqiu had lost weight-

“Luo-Shizi.” Luo Binghe straightened, “ah Sect Leader Yue!” He bowed hastily.

“Apologies, this unfilial disciple never meant to disrespect Cang Qiong mountain-“

Instead the sect leader took his hands and made Luo Binghe look up, the look on his face was stra ge and made Luo Binghe uncomfortable.

And the worst thing happened.

The sect leader bowed to him!

“It was Cang Qiong who has done a great disservice to Luo Binghe.” Everyone in the room heard such a thing, Huan Hua bristled but all the lthers practically hungered for the drama.

 “That we had failed in such a way that you felt that you couldn’t return and felt undeserving. Cang Qiong doors will always be open to Luo Binghe, he doesnt have to prove his worth or fear rejection to come home.”

Oh- oh!

 He had to admit, Yue Qingyuan was similar to him, killing them with kindness. Making it seem as if they were the perfect sect family outside, and creating this humble narrative that Luo Binghe didnt deviate and spit on Cang Qiong but it was in fact a simple miscommunication!

 Then Shen Qingqiu spoke as well, “Yes. Qing Jing Peak is your home, unless Luo Binghe doesn’t want to return to the mountain that took him in?”

Oh, now everyone was watching Luo Binghe.

 But…they both could accuse him of being a demon, so why not use that instead?

Even so, both of them were looking at him expectantly, they all were.

“This Luo Binghe is grateful, and relieved to know that his worries were unnescary and that Cang Qiong still accepts me.”

Shen Qingqiu smirked, looking like he was about to win- until…

“But this Binghe is ungrateful. Huan Hua took me in after I was injured and this one wanted to repay that debt, maybe even foster good relations to both sects. And further more…This Binghe wanted to learn more about his past, the Luo River is closer to Huan Hua where I was born and wanted to learn about my past.”

 Luo Binghe gave them both beseaching looks.

“Can this one still stay at Huan Hua until I find the answers I am looking for?”

Shen Qingqiu looked annoyed, the Palace Master even inturupted.

“Yes! Why Luo Binghe was forced to find sanctuary here and never returned to Cang Qiong is a mystery! And Shen Qinqgiu! You claimed he had died at the immortal alliance!”

Shen Qinqqiu gritted his teeth, and the others became more rowdy.

 “Luo Binghe will remain here, until he feels comfortable speaking the truth and has no fear of the power and influence both of you have.”

Luo Binghe was touched this father figure was coming to his aid, but he couldn’t be more wrong, he was a demon emporer. He had a lot of power and influence.

________

“Afterall I’m the scum Shizun! And you are the victim! Always blaming me when in reality you hurt yourself,” luo Binghe paused huh?

 “What? No- never ind that.” Why was Shen Qingqiu upset anyway? “Look I’m at Huan Hua now, far away from you. And we can both pretend the other doesn't exist!” Then Luo Binghe paused.

“What are you doing taking missions so close to Huan Hua in the first place?”

Shen Qinqgiu ignored him.

 “What this master does with his own time is his own buisness.”

Okay.

Even so, Luo Binghe figured Madam Meiyan may help with Xin Mo, he can only spend so many b-points on suppressing it, but if it acted up in Huan Hua he may accidently trigger a papapa scene with one of the women and he didnt need that!

Why was it that no matter what mission and what he wanted to do, Shen Qingqiu was there!?

Always in trouble, always causing trouble, really playing the petty scum villain and being an overall pain in the neck!

Xin Mo kept telling Luo Binghe to just kill him and one of these days he may just listen to it!

 -wife plot with SQQ

 He had no idea why, Luo Binghe was on his way to another peak to investigate his mothers origins Meng Mo found a lead of a familair disciple who knew Binghes ‘mother’

Also the imposter syndrome he figured Origianal goods would lose face but this Luo Binghe was only looking into the plot, if his parents were alive he doubted they would be close, 

_____________________

And this is where I lost steam and had no idea what to write next, that LBH/sy is ignoring sqq and focusing on himself but when the others in trouble he goes "Ah well its the scum villain who cares...but I have to ask questions I'm the protagonist, and I want to ask questions about this plothole and such-" accidently uncovers Sqq past and reveals it was self-defense.

Whoops?

Now SQQ wants Luo Binghe back at Cang Qiong NOT because he cares about the little beast- it looks bad on HIM as a Peak Lord that he has some unruly disciple avoiding his peak like he's some abused little maiden running away from her husband.

Shen Qingqiu would break his fan at the thought, that little brat loved it! Shen Qingqiu has never raised a hand to the beast in years!

Luo Binghe even claims he hates him, that he's a scum Shizun and never cared so why does Binghe go out of his way to save Shen Qingqiu? instead of washing his hands of him, it doesn't make sense....

_______________________

Yeah I do want SQQ and Binghe to be end game, like SY is fascinated by SQQ as a character and has more interest in him than the women of the harem.

I love Baldur's Gate and the Dark Urge and all -

And the idea of the Dark Urge redeeming themselves after a lifetime of horror by literally choosing to die and go to purgatory forever is really amazing. In fact, it's why I'm so dedicated to the Dark Urge as a character.

The idea of a villain losing their memory, becoming a hero, and then realizing that they need to die not just once, but twice to truly DESERVE their redemption is honestly brilliant.

But.

But.

Withers revives you way too fucking fast.

You literally die...and then Withers instantly brings you back.

In fact, it takes him fucking longer to revive your COMPANIONS than you, and your companions dying and being revived at camp aren't even part of the story, it's just you fucking something up and not wanting to waste a revive scroll.

Withers bringing you back instantly comes across as like, oh, so dying for your morals, being a true hero in the end, a martyr, defeating the villain, which is you...it's totally negated.

You died for about twenty seconds.

I've known people who died for longer on the operating table.

Where is my lover crying and clutching my body?

Where are my friends, all looking devastated, because they're all gotten to know me and root for me and truly care about me after I've done ALL THIS for them???

So that they could be safe from me?

Where is the emotion?

He brings you back and then your companions have a single line that's essentially just, "good job buddy."

Karlach says something like, I'm proud of you and Wyll says I'll drink in your name or whatever.

And Astarion has a really obnoxious line about how this means you aren't going to attack him anymore...and it's like... okay.

Cool.

So you guys are totally unphased by the fact that you just watched me die...but I suppose death doesn't mean shit in this game, since you have Withers to constantly bring you back.

Cool.

So then what? Nothing matters?

It's just frustrating because I know it's the cut content curse. They had more planned for Orin and the Dark Urge and Bhaal...but it just feels so underwhelming.

I think BG3's primary flaw comes in the fact that they wanted to build this richly crafted narrative, while also accounting for player choice. And they did a magnificent job of adding SO MANY extra scenes and alternate interactions, to the point where I'm still finding new shit, after like 800 hours of playing...

But the tradeoff is that the character stories...fall really flat, because they want so desperately for a Tav to be the main character, and no one else.

The Dark Urge especially suffers from this, because they made them a murder hobo in one ending, and basically just a Tav in the other ending.

As soon as you are brought back by Withers, you might as well just be a Tav. It has no bearing on anything anymore.

And that's such a shame.

I just wish it had some weight. The Dark Urge has spent their entire life ending lives... it should be beautiful, that they would end their own life to atone...their last victim, would be themselves, as they always knew...but for different reasons-

oh wait, withers is here.

cool, i'm back, guys, let's go to arby's and celebrate.

i just think the game should legitimately make you think you died, at least until a long rest or two.

force the squad to go on without you, make someone else your fourth member.

THEN withers can come to you, maybe in some kind of new Jerrgal-form, so you know he's Jergal for sure, and then reveal he was secretly a retired god.

And honestly, that makes Withers a far more interesting character too. To give him this huge hero moment, and have him say, no, this will not stand. I know he HAS that moment, but it's so rushed.

Let the player breathe on it. Let them FREAK OUT. Can you imagine how much stir it would've created, if Dark Urge players LEGIT thought they were dead permanently?

That would've given their sacrifice real weight.

But Larian was scared, probably, of players being upset that their characters are dead, even though that kind of sacrifice is literally the most heroic thing you could do in the game, besides become a damn mindflayer.

So some sacrifice! You sacrificed ten seconds of your life, and your companions barely care.

Alright. Fine.

I'll just be over here writing your story for you!

Show review: Destined with You.

So.... I might be in the minority, but as much as I enjoy Rowoon on screen I didn't start watching the show for him.

I was hoping for a witch/shaman Hongjo kdrama to finish near the eve of Halloween as the show seemed to be promising (very logically it seemed to be heading that way!). And she did cast some spells to my pleasure, but to my massive displeasure her witch arc was entirely forgotten about in favor of... not even sure what that kidnapping sequence was all about. Somehow most of Hongjo's agency as a character vanished into the ether as well during the past few episodes. Her character growth consisted of building the confidence to stand up to Nayeon, but her stubborn self reliance fueled by a lifetime of loneliness and trauma (her mother! Her father!!!!) stayed and was left unaddressed. And not to be dramatic, but I might die mad about it.

So past lifes were real, the curses and spells were real, Aengcho was really a shaman and the Gardener for whatever reason (also unexplored) wanted to marry Hongjo in the next life. But Hongjo in current day went from a strong, feisty character who was ready to spell cast her way in and out of trouble into... someone to intentionally get herself kidnapped??

It's like this show was written in the 2000s to early 2010s AND it hated women. I had high hopes for Ms. Ma, Shinyu's mother and Eunwol, but they were done DIRTY by this show. Hongjo's storyline was forgotten. Aengcho got relatively less attention compared to Mujin/Rowoon. It's like the main character changed somewhere and it became Shinyu/Mujin. Shinyu and Jaekyung had their cool lawyer moments (good stuff) and Hongjo got... Nayeon arrested? Nayeon, who was another villain without a proper depth or motivation other than being a 2010s kdrama era Mean Girl. Again, Hongjo and Aengcho were done so dirty. Even Shinyu's poor abused mother went back to her abusive husband AND she got pregnant. That was just tragic!

And kindly don't try to tell me that my reasons to dislike this show are wrong - I've every right to review and hate how badly this show butchered the stories of the female characters in this show even if Rowoon was hot in a bunch of scenes like that's going to compensate for it. I am not a Rowoon stan. 🤷‍♀️ I like him just fine, but it's been frustrating to watch as a non-stan since some stans seem to take any critique of the show as a slight towards Rowoon himself. But he has nothing to do with the writing, so put down your pitchforks, ok.

They should've stuck with the office romcom or made the show into a sageuk and dropped the false advertising of the show as a magic/fantasy drama. The sageuk era episodes SLAPPED. They were tense, beautifully shot and interesting, Aengcho had her moment! I LOVED her in her faceoff with the King, she was powerful and terrifying in that. And as soon as I fell in love with her, Mujin killed Aengcho (in a very meta symbolic way) and that was that. The show itself killed Aengcho and Hongjo.

This show was written to give Rowoon his cool and sexy moments. This was the Rowoon fan service show. Which is fine, but LEAD with that info then. I did enjoy Hongjo and Shinyu together and there were a couple of fun or emotionally compelling episodes, but I didn't finish with positive feelings about the show unfortunately because of the finale.

The writing of the show was exceptionally uneven and erratic. It seemed like from a different decade, but not this one. The relationship between Hongjo and Shinyu was mostly wholesome, but not always the healthiest for several reasons. Shinyu didn't always treat Hongjo well (and vice versa) and he made some decisions for Hongjo in true 2010s kdrama patriarch style.

Hongjo&Shinyu get 7/10 for being adorable and lovable. Loved their relationship development very much. I'm glad they didn't rush to have kids or to marry. The proposal at the beach while addressing Hongjo's dad was endearing.

Plot gets a 3/10 rating. There was potential... and it slipped through the writer's fingers. Loose threads were left untied. Side plots were abandoned or seemingly forgotten about.

Would I rewatch again? Maybe once I stop fuming about how Hongjo was treated by the show, but just for the Shinhong scenes. But it'll take some wound licking and fixit fic writing.

Please universe, give Boah better scripts. She's a wonderful actress and she deserves a role that's cool and that lets her showcase her talent. Many viewers seemed to lose their patience with her, even though the writing of the show was the true issue.

#destined with you #show review #it's mostly not positive so don't read if you can't deal with that ok #still glad to have chatted and raved with you all about the show #just very unhappy with the lost potential of the show plotwise #and thank you in advance for your understanding i just got very attached to hongjo as a character

'time flies.' (part one) (2.7k)

[Part One] | [Part Two]

warnings; angst (?), to be continued, all characters are 18+ and pro heroes, ph!bakugo, i gave the reader a hero name & energy quirk it sort of all makes sense when you read it, fem!reader.

The nightlife in Japan was loud, flashy, and extravagant. Trying so very hard to fit in with the mainstream idea of 'bright lights means better night'. It was almost too much, almost. It was only made borderline bearable when you had to rush out for missions when you had to intercept a dodgy villain or help with something that the police just couldn't cope with.

You were the safety net of the night. Energy Hero: Zeal. Quirk is probably very basic, at least that's what you think. It's not flashy in the sense you can see what type of quirk it is, if someone were to pass by you on the street they'd probably think you were quirkless. That is until they hit you, or put enough energy behind a touch that it'd activate your quirk.

Kinetic Energy Manipulation is rather simple, if you know what kinetic energy is that is. You absorb kinetic energy while removing it from the source, into your body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing yourself in strength, speed, flexibility, gaining the drained power, or using it as a power source etc. But it's not permanent. The harder the hit, the more energy you get thus meaning longer usage.

They call you reckless, the way you go about absorbing so many hits, purposely letting a villain land a hit right in your gut or face just so you can headbutt them back with 10 times the force. Of course, this didn't sit well with some of the other ranking heroes who thought you were idiotic, too much of a clutz when you'd stumble into the firing line of a quirk on either side of the firing line. Maybe that's why no one realised what your quirk was until after, why other pros refused to work with you after hearing rumours of how you stepped into the hero you were partnered with quirk and nearly blew up half the street with the blowback.

Though you didn't really care what the others thought of you, you were high enough in the rankings to be paid enough to last three lifetimes. You were surviving, alone sure, but you were fine. You've always been fine.

Snapping you from your inner monologue, your eyes adjusted to the bright city skyline in front of you. You were currently perched up on one of the higher skyscrapers, it was the perfect place to take a break and just relax for more than a few minutes. The air was cold, the wind loud but it was better than the incessant chatter of the night and the drunken shouts were thrown your way when you were patrolling.

But it wasn't the tranquillity of watching the city lights dance and shine into the night sky that caught your attention, no, it was the earpiece in your ear buzzing to life and the voice of your sidekick telling you about a possible villain report on the strip. Perfect. A place filled to the brim with people, drunk too. You just rolled your eyes, huffing out a 'copy, on the move' before you stood up from your squatting position.

Flexing out your arms and legs, making sure your back was fully stretched as your eyes darted towards the brightest part of the city known as the strip. Lumbered up and ready to run, you tilted your head downwards to assess your next step - literally, as you lifted your foot off the edge of the building and let your body fall. Keeping your arms flat to your side, you essentially fell like a dead weight through water, feet coming down to the floor first. With a loud boom, your feet hit the concrete - no damage to the sidewalk thankfully, but your near-pitch-black suit lit up and danced with the purple kinetic energy that you absorbed from the impact. Guess that's also a bonus to your quirk, you're practically invulnerable to falling, hits that would normally leave a human body nothing more than a splatter on the ground.

With the new energy flowing through your suit, prickling at your skin and starting to pool in your legs. Passer-by's snapping pictures of your 'power-up' before you shifted one foot back, and in a blink of an eye, you were gone. Feet making no noise as you bolted at speeds that rivalled those with speed quirks, a purple burst of energy drifting around corners. Dodging in between ongoing traffic, the passing of gasps as you whipped past like a bullet.

It was pretty hard being able to hear anything clearly when you're moving as fast as a sports car but there is one sound that makes your stomach twist, the hair on the back of your neck rise, lungs neglected of any air... explosions, not just any type of explosions. No, these are man-made, quirk based. The sound is something you could pick out from across the city if you really tried, what the hell was he doing here anyway?

This was your section of the city, it was your night to patrol. He shouldn't be out here, unless he's trying to swipe this villain from under your feet, again, trying to show off and move up the ranks, again... You grit your teeth, jaw tensing as you rounded the next corner and prayed that the rumbling booms and crackling of explosions do not in fact belong to the one and only; Dynamight.

But of course, lady luck isn't on your side, she never is when it comes to him. The second you skidded to a stop, excess energy still bouncing around like purple electricity, your eyes lock onto the back of a rather large man. Not just any large man, no, this particular one is Bakugo Katsuki. Fully clad in his hero costume, hands extended outwards firing off precision shots with his explosions to apprehend the villain. YOUR villain.

With a low growl that was hidden beneath the loud boom of explosions, you side-glanced around. Streets had been cleared of civilians, you could dive in now. And so you did, there was a crack of concrete that caused Dynamight to bristle for a second, the thought of a second villain coming from behind as he shot a sparing glare over his shoulder. But the menacing glare was lost when his eyes locked onto the sight of a purple blur that shot past him... and straight into the line of fire of his explosions. You hissed at the feeling of the heat enveloping your body, it never burned or left scars but you could still feel the heat.

You felt the familiar fuzziness of your quirk taking over, coating your entire body in bright purple energy. Dynamight tensed, dropping his hands slightly to stop his firing of explosions as he stared into the cloud of smoke that he caused, did he take you out? He had no idea, at least that was until there was a heavy boom of thick air, air that made your hairs stand on end and made your stomach twist with uneasiness.

The release of something as powerful as Dynamights quirk was dangerous, he can already decimate anyone with it. So putting it through your quirk and releasing it again with tenfold the amount of power behind it, it ripped through the street effortlessly. The group of villains who were lost in the cloud of smoke swept off their feet and planted firmly down beneath the weight of the energy.

Bakugo waved a large gloved hand in front of his face, clearing the smoke as he pushed through to the other side. In search of bodies? Villains or yours? He had no idea. All he could hear was the faint sound of club music coming from the now vacant clubs, the flashing of lights filtering through the smoke making an eerie atmosphere whilst his boots crunched on the floor.

He knew this was your sector, he even knew it was your night to patrol. But he didn't expect you to be here that quickly and dive straight in. With another large swipe of his arm, he cleared the smoke to finally see the bright purple outlines of your suit, a wave of relief washing over him as you actually stood up instead of laid down somewhere, unconscious or worse.

He could still feel the energy pulsing off of you in waves, you took in a lot of energy- perhaps too much energy, and that's why you were stationary. Trying to disperse the energy safely before you exploded, literally. His eyes snapped down to the bodies you were stood over, all still breathing but unconscious, he should feel bad for sniping your villains but he had a reason for the things he did.

Bakugo took steps closer, fighting the sickness that was making his heavy feel heavy, his tongue feeling like lead in his mouth and vision slowly growing darker in the corners. Fuck. He has to get there, close enough to press a hand on you so you can disperse energy back. It'll hurt like fuck but it'll stop the inevitability of you dying.

So with a hand that seemed to move slowly, like he was wading through thick murky water. He dropped it hard enough on your shoulder that you flinched, head turning in his direction and your eyes were wide. Bakugo had seen this a few times, he was one of the only few pros who worked with you enough to know what was happening. He grunted, his other hand coming down onto your other shoulder hard enough to trigger the jolt of energy.

The transfer was quick in reality, but it felt like every nerve of Bakugo's body was set alight and his heart was racing, he could see the way you were visibly relaxing as the energy was drained off. When you released that sigh of relief, he dropped his hands from your shoulders and the transferral of energy was cut off.

Your vision flooded back, the blinding white light dimming down until you could make out the tall lumbering figure that was standing just off to your side. You cleared your throat, eyes snapping back down to the villains who were still laid unconscious. 

"I thought I told you to stop fuckin' running into fights like that." the heavy gruff voice broke your concentration on the men, your eyes slowly drifting back towards Bakugo who had his arms tensed at his sides, hands curled into gloved fists. 

"And I told you to stop stealing my jobs, Bakugou." you hissed, and you didn't miss the way Bakugo's face dropped from his usual scowl to something akin to hurt, sadness. But it didn't last long, his mean glare was back and it was directed down at you. 

"Didn't steal shit, I was just here before your slow ass showed up." he was lying, he knew that. He knew you weren't slow, far from it.

He sniped this call with the hopes of running into you, truth is? He misses you. The way things ended... it was different back then, he was a teenager. So were you. You both were new to the hero world, you were both overwhelmed and a relationship just wasn't on the cards, at the time. He missed you, truly missed you. Now he had made a place in the world, made a name for himself.

He was missing something, someone, you. He needed you by his side, not just because you were strong and making a name for yourself, not because you were flying up in the rankings with each save you made. Because he genuinely loved you, which was something Bakugo never knew he would say or admit to. But he grew up, he matured, he mellowed out-- sort of. He was a man now, and he was desperate for you to see it too.

But the way you hissed his name, his surname of all things as if you were never that intimate as if you never shared firsts together. It hurt. It hurt so damn much he was wondering if you really gave up on the idea of 'one day'. But he caught the way your eyebrows scrunched up at your own words, how you had a flash of hurt in your eyes when he mentioned your 'slowness'.

Bakugo sucked in a sharp breath, hands tensing even more if it were possible at his sides as he fought the urge to pull you into his arms. Like he used to when you were frazzled by your quirk. The way the flashing LED lights of the clubs were bouncing off your sweat-ridden skin, how the purple energy was still zipping and sparking around your body.

Your entire hero suit was illuminated beautifully, he remembers helping you redesign it. He felt his heart swell at the fact you hadn't changed it, at all. You still had matching garter belts, and big clunky boots that could deliver a devastating kick. Yours was made to be more mainstream, more accommodating to your quirk. It was built with nanofibers that reacted with your body, having had your DNA practically woven into the material helped with storing excess energy - just like his gauntlets.

You even still had the mask, it wasn't an eye mask like his. Yours was more of a face-covering, reaching over your nose and under your chin. The purple dimmed and brightened with each breath you took, it seemed steady which was good. The mask was more of a good way for others to track if you were okay or not. If you were overwhelmed, the purple would be glowing and obviously, no light at all means no breathing. His eyes wandered over your hero costume, he tried to not focus on the X that crossed over your body like his. Yours cut around your chest and glowing purple, had you not thought of how similar the two of you were? Or did you know that and didn't want to change it? 

"We both know I'm faster than you, you just wanted this shit for yourself. Why is it this time? Deku moving up the ranks so you have to go around stealing people's jobs?" you hissed, the bite behind your voice snapping Bakugo's eyes back to yours. He was caught bewildered for a moment before he frowned, teeth bared at your accusation. 

"No, it fuckin' wasn't because of Deku. It was because-" he bit his tongue, growling and grumbling under his breath as he turned his eyes away from you.

You frowned, your own scowl rivalling his. "Because what? Spit it out Bakugou." you jabbed a finger against his chest and he felt the zip of energy burst through his chest, blooming underneath his skin.

Your eyes met with his, and you tried to search them for some sort of answer. What the hell did he mean by that? You could see Bakugo hesitating, his jaw muscle ticking away as he grits his teeth and wills his mouth closed. His lips finally twitched, parting to finally give you an answer when the shrill sound of sirens cut through the tense air, ripping you away from the moment.

You pulled a face of annoyance, furrowing your eyebrows and the corners of your lips turning down. What had happened to him? He would always tell you what he thought, no matter what. But he was hesitating, did he think you were no longer good at what you do? Is that it? Is that why he's stealing jobs from you so you drop down the ranks and get involved in something that isn't 'difficult'?

He must've seen the thoughts flickering behind your eyes as you took a step back from him, dropping your hand back to your side with a small shake of your head. "Un-fucking-believable." you mutter, thankful that it didn't sound so breathless; so hurt.

Bakugo raised his eyebrows before they drew together in concern, he took a step forward and you one back. You shook your head again with a scoff, shooting a glance at the people on the floor and scowled. 

"Fine. Take it," you growled out, eyes darting to look back at Bakugo. He again reached out the second he saw the purple flicker in your eyes but all that was left in your place was a swirl of dust, the purple blur of your quirk vanishing out of the cloud and leaving Bakugo stood there alone, the police finally clattering through the smoke and assessing the situation. All the whilst Bakugo couldn't stop thinking about you. Why did you run? Why did you look so hurt? He didn't mean to upset you or hurt you, he wanted to rekindle with you. Did he mess it up?

So I finally read Tom King's Batman / Catwoman

Under the black label, this title is clearly intended as a non- canon epilogue to Tom King's Batman run. As with a lot of Tom King's stuff, its got an interesting idea, build up quite a bit but doesnt stick the landing.

So in this version Catwoman is just as crazy as the rest of rogue's gallery, even considering joker a friend ( I also think its fun when villains treat their softer silver age counterparts as the lighter old days). Selina is also had it tough, a lifetime of stealing to survive. Both of these are big obstacles in her future with Batman. I think this is an interesting idea at least, how can Catwoman be with Batman without changing? Cool idea, the trope of villainous lady reforms to get laid is pretty overplayed.

But this kinda cracks apart because apparently Catwoman and Batman simply cant change each other and they decide to make it work anyway. They have a kid, Catwoman plays along and once Batman dies, she kills the joker. The framing sort of implies that Batman never really knew her. Which is an interesting idea for an AU but its hard to reconcile with the sweet corny Vegas style wedding they have with the Kents as witness. Tom King's Batman/Catwoman is mostly dependent on the idea that the 'Bat' and 'Cat' are the real identities- only shown in shadowy bedroom scenes. Its hard to reconcile this when they have a child Helena, Dick is present is this story, Damien exists and Superman is Batman's best friend. Their 'dark' relationship doesn't give a lot insight on how they worked day to day.

While I can imagine a Catwoman who did become a hero but still didnt follow the Batman's 'no kill moral code' I dont think the 3 timeline structure gave us enough of the 'married years' to really give me an idea of what that was like. Being together would inherently require both of them to change at least somewhat.

The Phantasm, as in the BTAS original character shows up as well in a b-plot that starts interesting but mostly deflates by the end. I have this problem a lot with Tom King- lots of suspense, lots of buildup and then 'meh' conclusion.

Overall, I would recommend reading the special issue with has more of freestanding christmas storyline and maybe the marriage at the end. The extra context provides an interesting Catwoman AU but its not much of a romance or a Batman story. If you like Tom King's interpretation of catwoman, read the whole thing. It just made me miss the Ed Brubaker days more.

#catwoman #batman #batman/catwoman #tom king #comic review #As with a lot of comics stuff #I have a love/hate with Tom King. I generally dont agree with his POV on Catwoman #but i do really like him in smaller bites like Detective Comics 1000 #the first arc of rebirth batman and of course the superman double date

Yo Fuzz, I got a question....

Do you think Shouji would look mainly for a Heteromorph Partner just because they would be able to understand what he went through/goes through or would he rather date someone who's not a Heteromorph because he feels it's the Stereotype that Heteromorphs are only into other Heteromorphs?

Like how people often talk about how you only find your own race attractive but it's either insecurity or racism if you boil it down?

Took the weekend off from brain-ing and now I'm back!

I think Shouji would be open to a relationship with either heteromorph or non, as long as any non-heteromorph were understanding of the prejudices he and those like him face. He would definitely be more susceptible to his insecurities though, always wondering if a non-heteromorph partner would succumb to societal pressure or decide he wasn't worth the trials his traumas and discriminatory baggage brought into the relationship.

In all likelihood though, those prejudices appear so systemic that he might not find a potential non-heteromorph partner that really understands and empathizes. At least not without some sort of long possibly awkward talk or maybe a lot of research on their part. That would be a very uncomfortable start to a relationship though.

He might find a potential partner with a 'scary villainous' quirk. I'm thinking someone who was treated similar to Toga or Shinsou. Someone also unfairly judged for something completely out of their control such as their quirk.

I think he would try not to listen to the way people talk about whoever he was in a relationship with. Whether or not they are heteromorphic, it would be a 'damned if you do damned if you don't' situation. There would always be someone who didn't agree with his choice. After a lifetime of hearing whispers or worse about his looks, I'd assume he'd have grown a somewhat thick skin to other's opinions about him and his life. I'm not implying hearing people talk behind your back all the time doesn't wear on you, just that life would be particularly hellish if you didn't build up some form of mental block.

Take everything I said with a grain of salt! As someone who hasn't dealt with much discrimination, I try to stay informed of social and racial issues. But I'm sure people who have to live under those circumstances would be able to go into way more depth on this.

Tell me about this thing you like! I'd love to listen 💜

Omg omg okay no one is ready for me to go on a full rant about Scum Villain Self Saving System but I’ve been OBSESSED with the dead characters for NO REASON for since I read it and they r so so special to me but I’m slightly more obsessed with the build up for the reason for everything that happens in the story

FOR CONTEXT, there’s the Old palace master who’s an old as fuck immortal, Tianlang-Jun who’s a heavenly demon which are supposed to be like the WORST but he high key does nothing but read shitty porn and watch romantic plays and be broke despite being an emperor and was unbearably in love with Su Xiyan and Su Xiyan who was in love with Tianlang-Jun and was also an immortal and disciple to the Old palace master. And then there’s also Zhuzhi-Lang who’s Tianlang-Jun’s nephew and had to sit through all of his and Su Xiyan’s embarrassing ass dates and PDA

So, imagine being super powerful and old and a palace master and then you have this disciple right (Su Xiyan)?And she’s the best. The absolute greatest, bestest disciple ever. You’d think you’d be normal about her if you were like 100 years old but no. The palace master starts having all kinds of perverse intentions towards her like a fucking creep

And then there’s this heavenly demon, right (Tianlang-Jun)? He has done NOTHING at all to you, he’s just obsessed with humans and their literature and goes around being broke as shit and watching plays and reading the worst porn imaginable. Despite that, you (the old palace master) think he’s the worst, an absolute bitch, a complete plague on humanity but your disciple falls in love with him and gets pregnant and you do not like that. She should NOT have fucking done that

Because, coincidentally-but-not-really, the old palace master sent her to kill this guy who has, again, done absolutely fucking nothing. So you (the old palace master) kidnap your fucking disciple, trap her in an under water prison, give her poison to kill the fucking kid which she decides to absorb instead of taking you up on your, ‘kill the kid and keep your loyalty to me or keep the kid and never see the light of day again’ threat

But no, that’s not enough. So you get the entire cultivation world against this demon who is literally just some guy and then send him a fake letter pretending you’re your disciple and then you fucking trap him under a mountain because what else are you meant to do with this guy who is extremely powerful and could wipe you out in seconds

Not like you could just leave him alone. Nope not possible. And now he’s trapped under a mountain and wants to kill all of humanity. Great job. You could not have fucked this up more. Imagine making the most powerful guy ever hate you. Absolute stupid bitch behaviour.

And THEN your disciple escapes and then gives birth by the Luo river and has no choice but to bundle the kid up and send him down the river in the hopes that someone will find him because the poison is gonna kill her in like 2 seconds. And it does! Which is relevant later because that kid grows up and gets outed as a half demon and thrown into the abyss!!

And then you find her son several years later after he’s crawled his way out of the abyss who is resentful as shit towards his parents because you’ve convinced him that his mum didn’t want him and that his dad was the worst, even though both wanted him more than literally anything in the world and his dad would literally tear you apart if he found out that he had a very much alive son that he lost an entire lifetime with.

And then you decide to keep said son around and call him your son like you actually care about him but you’re actually just a freak who still has perverse intentions to him because he looks soooo much like his mum and the only thing that looks like his dad is the eyes and the demon mark which piss you off SOOOOO bad. And you’re just wandering around like nothing's wrong while his dad is still trapped under a mountain.

And this all results in some shitty little millennial getting transmigrated into an alternate version of your world and experiencing situations surrounding the half demon kid who is joined in his situations sometimes by other shitty little millennial because it was all a book and both of the shitty little millennials died because they were sooooooo obsessed with something regarding the book in different ways and inadvertently caused each others deaths

Summary: When Y/n L/n joins the League of Villains, a certain man’s life is turned upside down. 

Quirk: Crystalize (Whatever you make contact with can crystalize into objects as long as you know how to create them, this includes weapons and everyday objects like spoons)

Authors note: I hope you enjoy this fic of our favourite crunchy boy, this may be a several part thing so stay tuned! 

Also, this takes place somewhere after the UA attack, but it’s not definite or important to the plot (they are still at the old LOV base though)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

He should hate her for taking over the headlines.

...

Not long ago, a mysterious cloaked woman appeared at the League of Villains headquarters. 

Knocking three times on the door, Kurogiri put down the wine glass he was polishing to answer it.

It was unusual that anyone from the League would have guests over, but it wasn’t unheard of. No one paid much mind to the figure that was invited inside.

Elegantly, she sat down at the bar. Kurogiri offered her a drink and handed her a glass of golden liquid. It certainly tasted cheap on her lips, but even if it wasn’t to her tastes, she didn’t say otherwise.

“Hey ‘giri, who’s that?” piped up a blonde girl. Skipping over to the bar, she grabbed a couple of snacks from the cupboards. Flashing the stranger a grin, she introduced herself. 

“I’m Himiko Toga!” she said, loudly.

She looked too young, much less sinister in person than the news made her out to be. If anything, she seemed really happy. Maybe even a little too happy.

Stepping closer to you, she forgot about her snacks, placing them on the counter in front of you.

Reaching a hand over, she ghosts a finger over you neck, smiling. 

“Can I have a taste?” she asks politely.

She said it as naturally as asking for a taste of your dessert.

Swatting her hand away gently, you take a sip of your drink, hoping she gets the message.

Dejectedly, she pouts, “maybe next time,” she says while hurrying off with her assortment of chips and sweets.

All you could do was give Kurogiri a quizzical look. If he had anything to any, he didn’t make it known, silently going back to polishing glasses.

...

A hand grasping around your throat was the last thing on your checklist today. 

You knew the base you were instructed to was abnormally quiet for how reckless and aloof the “League of Villains” seemed to be. But nothing had prepared you for the silent footsteps that made their way into the old, rundown building.

Kurogiri had left to do god knows what, and unlucky you had to bear witness the man feared by all of Japan.

Unable to move, you calmly activate your quirk. Your arms were raised to the sides of your head to feign peacefulness. It would be risky to materialize a weapon right now, and you can’t touch yourself to create a barrier. It really was your only option.

The man, Shigaraki, looked scrawny. To think he had a weak build was an understatement. 

“..who are you,” he asked, his voice trailing. 

His calloused hands tightened around your throat as you made no attempt to offer any information about yourself.

You were at a crossroads. You could reveal your voice, or die.

It wasn’t a tough decision, really. But a mist of black and purple appeared, and a raven haired man with striking blue eyes walked in, temporarily buying you some time.

Following him was a group of... equally striking people.

Their chatter loosened Shigaraki’s grip on your neck as he yelled orders to them. Quickly, you slipped out of his grasp and formed a hatchet to arm yourself.

The crystalized hatchet wasn’t the best choice, but the room was too compact for the use of firearms. Plus, you couldn’t hurt them even if you wanted to, or that rotting old man would have your head fed to one of his Nomu’s.

“Tomura,” called out a voice. 

It sounded like audio, as there was a slight crackle to his words.

“...I see you’ve met the Leagues newest addition,” he said.

You could feel the air tense in the room as the small group eyed you warily.

“Master... why did you send me another useless npc?” he gritted out.

“This one doesn’t even talk,” he quipped.

“..she will be an asset to your team, Tomura,” paused the old man. 

“I sent her personally to see it through,” he said.

Finally, the audio phased out, followed by white noise. One of the villains, a peculiar man who can’t seem to control his thoughts clicked the off switch, silencing it.

Shigaraki sat down on the stool you were at previously, his hand reaching up to itch at his neck as he observed you.

The raven haired man sighed, as he lit his cigarette using his finger. Walking over to the torn up couch in the living room, he whistled at you.

“To be sent by the man himself,” he spoke out loud, trailing off into thought.

The hatchet in your hand previously was gone now as your arms lay limp at your sides. 

Shigaraki for one, doesn’t know what to do with this new disturbance.

“Kurogiri,” he called out.

“Yes, Tomura Shigaraki?” he replied.

“Get this woman settled in the empty room,” he ordered

I agree about Judgment Day turning into DX when they were TOO much. It's obvious WWE is desperately trying to build JD to replace the bloodline story because the BL story is so hot and brings ratings, and their afraid to let that go. The thing is even at their peak. On both shows, the BL weren't in every single story or segment. They definitely drove narratives most nights, but that's it. Also, you are right. The JD are villains. Fun villains, but with the BL, there were layers. There was more than I'm bad, I like power, I like to destroy (although I'd argue for Finn/Seth). There's layers to the BL characters, and this is a a once in a lifetime story

riiiiiiiight. the thing with the bloodline is like you say, layers. there's story there. it's multifaceted. and that's what made it so interesting in the first place, because it was so different from the kind of storylines the wwe were churning out. the judgement day - as fun as they are, as hot as they all are, as much as i love three of them - are nowhere near the same in terms of what they have going on. there's no real storyline there other than i guess finn/damian but even that's going to just tick over for a while because it's too soon to pull the trigger. but without a real storyline going on within their faction, they just become the run-of-the-mill, typical heel faction. and while that's great, you do need other things going on other than that.

but yeah, man. dx back in the day was loooong bro. so fucking long. they were literally 75% of the whole show and that's... kind of how the judgement day feel right now? difference being raw back in the day was an hour and a bit, it wasn't three hours long. that's a long time to have a faction dominating. the bloodline were lucky in that they were only really on smackdown weekly (except the usos, occasionally) but now the judgement day are on raw, smackdown, and nxt. like what're we doing here. why are we overexposing this successful faction so quickly? it's just going to get burnt out. i worry about it a little, i really do. because with the bloodline collapsing... there isn't a whole lot going on in the show right now. like, over both main shows, there isn't much storyline at all bro. the bloodline has had this company propped up for a while now and they're no longer going to have that soon, so... what the fuck are they doing.

*slams fist on table* Corporate hcs part 3!!

When they work together on the same project, the quality of the final result either skyrocket or they just straight up cancel each other intellect and end up verbally sparring for an hour ; its basically like trying to make two opposite magnet touch each other : you can, but its a hassle for everyone involved.

As time passes, and as they end up knowing each other more and more they learn to work together for any project that really need it but they also very much need their space and the best way for them to work efficiently is to annotate the project with commentaries and other post-it, otherwise they get snappy at each other.

Something that Mandark also learns as he stumbles along his relationship with Dexter is to let go and that he can not controls everyone around him. Sometimes you gotta agree to disagree (either its about robot design or string theory) and have to let go. The last one is especially true since Dexter works part-time for the hero agency and Mandark sometimes see him go on missions of various dangerosity and he eventually loses an arm during a battle. Mandark doesn't get it and even get angry, at dexter, at all the other heroes, at everyone else, because he doesn't understand why would Dexter sacrifice so much for people that he considers beneath them intellectually wise and who at the end of the day don't even really recognise Dexter. But he learns. (-that this is out of some misplaced heroism, altruism and also a bit of adrenaline rush)

Additionally, they both work out how to show their affection to each other. Dexter is not really good at public display of affection however Mandark is pretty big on verbal and physical affection and love to offers big gifts ; after all, he often boasts about his possessions/accomplishment/whatever helps him sleep at night and his boyfriend is not immune to the same treatment (hey, he is dating the second smartest man alive, life is great). As they're not the most emotionally intelligent people, it takes time to understand each other boundaries.

This end up with a lot of late night movie or just reading in each other's company accompanied by light banter. Also a few restaurant dates.

Dexter's guilty pleasure are dumb serie Z movies.

To Mandark's chagrin, he can't help himself but sometimes use the same lingo as his parents.

Dexter is a tad shorter than Mandark but thanks to the extra 5 centimeters his boots provide he can be taller than him. Mandark is that close to make a growth serum just out of pettiness.

Mandark owns a couple of mandarin birds and enjoys feathery orbs in general. He is even considering making himself a little dinosaur pet. Dexter doesn't care much for animals but at least he doesn't experiment on them anymore.

Mandark tried to turn hismelf into a vampire as a teen, cue very pointy teeth.

Dexter's work into the hero agency consist on insuring the security of the various headquarters as well as providing support on field mission. He also build various mechs for exploration or battles.

Once he ended up as a hostage to some hectic villains. These guys do not know how close they were to be swarmed by Mandark's robots, double agent role be damned.

As years pass by, Dexter grows less interested in weapons and focus more on household items and other city contraception. He racks up a few prizes during his lifetime.

Time travel is one of his big pet project. In fact, he does construct a working time travel machine and end up as a time criminal along the way.

As for Mandark, well sometimes love is pretending that your boyfriend is not up to some super villain shenanigans when you're busy fixing the super computer of your house.

Catching fire rewatch

Hemsworth is supposed to be what 19? Looks 35. She's also definitely not 17.

Omg Gale making her feel guilty for survival. Twat. It's an aspect of him in the books but film gale is just that.

The ankle break healing period is a big loss

Snow is so good lbr. How is he also Mr Bennett?!

Katniss never wanted war, she just wanted her family safe. Its so much more complex then one girl starts a revolution. Love it sf much.

Ugh all the stuff on camera. So cringe I die.

Peeta is just so good I love him

They overuse the salute in the movies

I like that Gale chooses to stay for the rebellion and its not about katniss. More true to the character.

It's true that katniss doesn't know how she feels about anything or anyone until the second reaping. Then it's all about saving Peeta.

You could live 100 lifetimes and never deserve that boy. So true.

There are survivors. No winners. This is the main point they leave out of the films that really bothers me. Those who live are forced to mentor, to be slaves to the capitol, are sex trafficked, their loved ones killed, the torture doesn't stop. No one wins.

She's right. If anyone deserves to live it is peeta.

Movie katniss really seems more in love with gale then book katniss ever was.

We deserve haymitchs story. His trauma is so overlooked.

Ugh effies face. Every time.

I so ship effie and haymitch ngl

They make the Victor's all look crazy without pointing out enough that they were made that way

One of the problems is how old jlaw is in this but you can deny she's damn beautiful in this movie

Finnick is the worst death idec. Worse then prim.

I do love johanna. Again, they cut out her trauma and backstory too much.

I don't love the 2nd one but the whole interview portion is perfect.

Finnick and Annie break my fucking heart man

The censorship just says so much

If it weren't for the baby. Peeta you underestimated genius you.

Obviously ceasar is always a villain but when they hold hands he looks proper traditional villain. Goddamn tucci.

Effies character development tho

First tears. I'm still betting on you.

Aspect ratio. Masterclass once again.

Forever mad they cut out peetas prosthetic

Ugh maggs. The actress does such a good job.

Peeta helping her die peacefully 🥺. I get why katniss didn't know but they could've given the morphlings names

Really loving johanna on this rewatch. Her angry form of love and protectiveness.

Annie and finnick. Every time. I need to know their story.

Those shitty movie stills in the necklace 🙄

That kiss tho

I know it can all be called an act but she's so scared to leave him. And really she never sees this version of peeta again.

It's pretty boring from this point lbr

I need to reread the books but in terms of the films, catching fire feels very building block. Like it sets up everything that comes next but in and of itself it doesn't move things much. It's like the start. And alot of introductions. But really the story only moves forward in the last 10 minutes.

[enamouredless]

(I sent this yesterday after my first ask but I don't think you got it, my wifi was bad.) No I get it, I agree that just because actors speak positively or lightheartedly about it, doesn't mean byler is endgame / Will gets a perfect happy ending. I know everyone always says "Don't compare them to other shows/ships" but. It really truly would not be the first time something like this happened and I would be extremely disappointed but not that surprised. Imo, giving a tragic character a tragic (or just meh) ending is bad, but the duffers might think it's peak television. Or maybe they are the kind of people who think Will not getting the guy is "just realistic". And actors could just say what they're told to, what fits the current vibe or whatever. Idk. I won't know until I have seen s5 myself. Byler and happy Will make narrative sense to me but that doesn't really mean much. I'm v curious about all your predictions now, what do you think is most likely gonna happen to everyone?

I honestly can't be certain about anything, tbh I try not to think too much abt S5 bc if I do I'll set expectations for myself that'll never end up happening lmao but if I'm talking in a positive the best I can see realistically go down is some sort of weird ambiguous gay ending? think something like Sam and Frodo.. in a more negative way I feel like all the events of these season do matter whether we like them or not, the lie abt the painting is going to be revealed and just like will said at rinkomania when mike finds out abt it he's gonna be mad and they'll def argue (the only good thing I can hope out of this is will getting the last word in an argument for once lol) like.. I'm not sure how big of a storyline this will be, I can definitely see vecna trying to use this all for his advantage to try to get will on his side, and honestly? If he's in a bad state emotionally I can see him being persuaded, ''my life started the day we find you in the woods'' remember? Vecna is definitely bringing that back lmao

I feel like this whole season was just building up ammunition to try to get will to break or snap or something next season(and I'm soooo not looking forward to seeing this tbh this season was already enough angst to last me a lifetime) but like despite all of this, Im like 100% that henry and will are meant to be character foils of each other, so whatever happens I think will end up going against him bc at the end of the day o don't think the duffers spent 4 seasons showing how selfless and kind will is to just end up straight up turning him into a villain, also how homophobic that would be....

Also m*leven side note I have no idea what's in store for them, idk how a love confession led by a lie is meant to be a good thing for them (and not any lie btw, wills feelings disguised as elevens) in my head this is something that should doom the entire relationship + the fact that max died during the monologue (just like Nancy and barb) but in reality the only thing this will do is just something to set up some conflict for them for the season just so they have something to argue about before they end up getting back together towards the end of the season like they always do... there's also the weird looming idea of marriage that makes my skin crawl but as much as I hate it I feel like it might be an actual possibility 😐 like I'm soooo serious if this happens I'm not watching S5 at all

There's more stuff that I think that might happen in s5 especially with all the time references they have been making throughout the show but if I get into that this answer will be 500 pages long so I'll also expect to be something time related, maybe even time manipulation especially related to will, I can also see vecna try to give him the opportunity to go back so none of this would've happened and he could've been able to live a normal life but will like the angel he is would tell him no and to fuck off, but this is more leaning into a full on theory based on nothing so idk what's the likelihood of it happening lol, thanks for the ask btw!!

#elevens child bride arc!! #cant wait 😐 #in all seriousness idk if im gonna be abale to watch that season lmaooo #the moment i turn on the tv and i see mike and eleven being cute again im just killing myself #ask

[furiousgoldfish]

this is gonna sound dumb and cliché but I think I realized my home situation was bad after watching Tangled with my mom. there's that line where the mother sings "I won't say I told you so!" and then later she says something like 'I tried to warn you about the world.' and I said to my mother, hey, she did say 'I told you so' even though she said she wouldn't. and my mother got really upset with me? like saying she had every right and that she was just protecting her daughter, she went on and on for hours and was sensitive for days. and even as a kid I was thinking why is she defending the blantly obvious bad guy who is shown to be a terrible and desperate person who easily would keep her daughter in chains for her own gain?

looking back now I can see things more clearly but it still seems kinda insane to me. like how deluded to you have to be that you would view a question from a kid about a disney villain to be a personal attack on your character? how can you sympathize with a cartoon villain that is easily recognized as a bad parent and yet not feel like you might need to change your behavior?

I managed to get out of that house and I'm still working on boundaries and space, but I think the best thing that happened to me was realizing that this sort of stuff is never going to make sense to me. all my empathy, all my background knowledge, all my love still never shows me a situation where I would make the same choices as my abuser. I'm not saying I'm a saint or that there's no situation that would have me making bad decisions, but there is a kind of dedication to hurting someone over a lifetime that abusive parents have that I could never keep up. I learned a lot of that stuff from you. but I think it literally started with an evil disney mom and that will forever be wild to me

Don't think it's cliché, a lot of people realized from watching Tangled that something about their home situation wasn't right, I even know people whose parents have banned them specifically from watching Tangled because they realized it was a dead giveaway of abuse. That actually happens a lot once a popular piece of media decides to display a callout of abuse and it's really great that it helps abused children to build a narrative!

It is a bit funny and sad that your mother tried to defend abuse and defend the villain even when it was so clearly displayed as manipulative and downright evil behaviour, she probably realized you just got the information you needed to call her out and was fighting against your ability to speak out about it. It seems that her behaviour was aimed to terrify and intimidate you from thinking about it or saying anything about it. Sadly, I don't think a cartoon villain can inspire abusive people to change their behaviour.

You are so right to conclude you would never put dedication into hurting and sabotaging someone like your abuser did, it's really a crazy feat they have going on in their life, and your empathy and compassion will always stop you from even attempting it. I'm very glad you're out of there and figuring out what harmful behaviours are, and if it started with an evil disney mom, that's cool, a lot of people had it as their realization point!

(this also makes me little more bitter that encanto missed its chance to call it out, when it was right there... )

sesshomaru ships ranked by me

10th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND JAKEN

So obviously there was a daddy kink going on here. Kind of one sided. Well, very one sided, actually. Plus Sesshomaru is his boss, so he’s definitely screwing Jaken (probably not in the way Jaken wants). Also, he’s a toad. -7/10.

9th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND SARA

First of all, their ship name is SessSara. That’s just way too many S’s. Second of all, they are the ship equivalent of watching paint dry out. Would not recommend to a friend but would definitelly recommend to someone in need of a sedative. So basic! 0/10

8th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND KAGOME

Let’s face it, Kagome’s charisma is 97% of what makes this ship, but I can see the appeal. And I’m not gonna lie, the fact she has history with his brother is hysterical. Plus he respects her (as he shoul) and saved her ass once or twice (as he should). On the other hand, they barely interacted and she’s way out of his league. Also I still kind of hate it. 3,75/10

7th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND NARAKU

Look at them! Two peas in a pod. Enemies to lovers excellency. Bonus: they’re both hot, powerful, self obsessed villains with egos the side of the world. Now tell me how this can go wrong! 7/10.

6th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND MIROKU

Should have interacted more, should have kissed a little bit. As a treat. Huge “I can fix him” energy by Miroku with the delicious twist of “ooops, actually made him worse.” Me likey. 7,85/10

5th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND KOGA

The episode is called “a dangerous encounter” for a reason, okay? And the danger was they were at the serious risk of falling in love. Canine supremacy with a Lady and the Tramp vibe. Free points for that sweet, sweet height difference. Way to go! 8/10

4th PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND SANGO

“You know, in another lifetime, you and I would have made a hot ass couple.” trope. Oh, what a kickass pairing! Unstoppable. Could have taken over the world. Now she could have fixed him. And he would have loved every second of it. I’m discounting a few tenths for the same reason I did with Sessssssara because I’m that pety. 8,5/10

3rd PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND KIKYO

Kikyo has everything Sesshomaru looks for in a woman: she’s gorgeous, she’s smart, she’s awesome with kids, she has made Inuyasha suffer countless times and he can feel it in his bones she’s capable of murder. 9/10.

2nd PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND KAGURA

Sesskagu was called the Ship of Dreams. And it was. It really was. Too bad it sank as deep as Titanic. It should have sailed, tho. But I’d argue that the angsty, the tragic tone to it is what makes it so charming. Great chemistry, great build up. Royalty. 10/10

1st PLACE: SESSHOMARU AND HIMSELF

Your honor... This. Boy. Is. The. Most. Asexual. Aromantic. Bitch. I. Have. Ever. Met.

DISCLAIMER: this is just a joke and all of these ships are valid.

[a-gal-with-taste]

Hear me out: Yknow the cliche/iconic villain thing where they spin around in a chair and are petting a cat? That with a vastayan reader just chilling in Silco’s lap

I can't believe I made it. I can't believe I've gotten here. I can’t believe you bastards got me here. To the age of the catgirl.

SFW; Catgirl!Reader, show-dialogue, established relationship, fluff, and bit crack-y, probably the only catgirl fic you'll see on this blog so enjoy it, it's like Hailey's comet, once in a lifetime Catgirl Gal-fic

"You were supposed to follow them and not interfere."

A slight gurgle and frantic apology, one that had your ear twitch reflexively towards the sound. Not that you could really find yourself caring all that much, your forehead absently burrowing deeper against a warm shoulder. Close to the crook of his neck, but never quite in it...

Even though the idea makes you purr as your tail lazily sways behind you. You imagine you'd fit perfectly against him, the softness to fill in all the harsh, sharp lines of this man. But nothing, not even the sunshine on the warmest roof on the Fringe, could compare to the warmth you get from straddling with your legs across Silco's lap as he so casually condemned the stray being slowly choked in the seat.

"Now his accomplice is asking questions - about you." Curved nails drew small circles on his back from where your arms looped around his shoulders. It was a decent distraction, and good trade for the pleasure of his bodyheat as you heard the telling-prick of the injector sound, his body barely twitching as he applies it.

No one else sees it. But you feel it, and knead your palms against his back with another rumbling hum in your chest.

And no one sees that, but you know he feels it, based on the slight relief of tension flowing out of his form.

"And that's not a risk," Silco murmurs, pulling the needle from his eye after the allotted time, the mask of a cold, detached dead-man seemingly unbreakable, even as you nose just-against his collarbone, a small huff slipping through your nose as his scent envelopes you, and you feel your eyes start to slip close. "... that I'm willing to take."

You should be paying attention, you know full-well. He'd no doubt seek your advice shortly, among other things, about what to do about the eyes peering in the direction of the operation. About how to combat this new complication, because Janna knows the questions won't stop coming, and attention is the last thing Silco needs right now...

But paying attention is also the last thing you want to do right now. It's too hard too, after long days and even longer nights in this operation, and though you're often at his side, being in his grasp is a luxury Silco can't often give you.

Not because he doesn't want to. But building an empire from the shadows doesn't exactly give too many opportunities for cuddles, hence why you took the initiative to take a seat in his lap, and ignore everything else in the world...

That was, until you felt him stiffen. "That was them?" Your ear twitched again when you heard the slight rasp in his tone, and, though you already felt chilled when you pulled your head back, gazing up to see his expression. And you felt a bit disappointed at having missed the initial report the kid had made, in order to make Silco's expression become like... that.

Silco's body was warm, pleasantly so, but his eyes were now enflamed. Both the forever-red and the blue you could never get enough of, were flaring with intrigue, opportunity and a bright glint that seemed to say 'at last.'

You hadn't seem such a look in Silco's eyes, not often, and particularly, not to such an extent that it seemed to flare from his body to yours, unebbing, and far more heated than the mere bodyheat the man could provide.

"Vander's in trouble," Silco seemed to murmur languishingly to the air, but the light danced off his ruined iris as he glanced down at you, and a million-and-one words seemed to pass in that half of a heartbeat with your connected gazes.

Words of promise, words of satisfaction, longing and desire for what he'd been waiting for, but only one word caught your attention: Soon.

Fangs glinted in the light at the silent promise, and you didn't even growl at the annoyance of his paitent squeeze at your hip, asking you to get off in order for him to stand. You couldn't resist dragging the tip of your tail past his cheek as you smoothly - like a cat, you thought with a growing smirk - slipped off his lap and regretfully away from the delightful warmth Silco provided.

Not all of it disappeared though.

The flame glinted off your slit-pupiled eyes, and his own mismatched gaze in the darkness. The flames of opportunity, of fruition...

And, the prospect of soon.
