May I request Wukong looking at Mei and seeing echoes of his dear old friend Ao Lie and slowly realizing that she’s his reincarnation

Anon: "you think im calm but it's actually more like 'i dont give a fuck'"

At first, he assumed it was just because she was his granddaughter.

Ao Lie would sometimes joke about how the fang that stuck out when he smiled was an unfortunate family trait. The hair, soft and silky, was a better trait. Wukong, of course, would agree about the hair and disagree with the fang. It made Ao Lie look charming, and Wukong found himself struck in the heart with how adorable his smile was with that fang, unable to resist the urge to kiss his sworn brother.

Traits were passed down.

Her personality was what made him pause. It wasn't exactly like Ao Lie, it reminded him more of his sister. The same sister once threatened to skin him alive. She also gave the hilarious comment of "You think I'm calm but it's actually more like 'I don't give a fuck'" to a married woman panicking that her lipstick was smeared after kissing her lover.

Still, there was bits of Ao Lie there. She was kind and supportive, in a way that threatened to kill anyone who bothered the people they loved. (Ao Lie was quieter about that part.) She gave off an illusion of being an airhead who didn't quite understand what was going on, which was every enemy's mistake.

The realization hit him then. Sun Wukong was tempted to let the grief overtake him again, but he stopped.

Their time together was one of the favorite times in his long life.

He hoped that she had one of those relationships in her own life, one where she loved the other person so much, but still let go when it came time.

It was the least she deserved.

SVSSS AU where Shen Yuan transmigrates as usual, except it's to find that his system is freaking out because it's been several years since Luo Binghe was supposed to show up at the sect trials to start his plot but so far there's been no sign of the protagonist, the Protagonist Halo Features aren't working correctly, and there's another transmigrator who arrived earlier, somehow hacked into the system, and erased its ability to track or punish him before disappearing into parts unknown (it was Airplane).

So Shen Yuan, now Shen Qingqiu, reasons that anyone who was trying to interfere with the plotline had either rescued or killed Luo Binghe while he was still young. Hoping for the former (but braced for the latter) he uses what scant knowledge the novel provided about Luo Binghe's origins, plus his new skills and some of the sect resources available, to track down Luo Binghe.

Turns out, in this version of events, some "random benefactor" showed up and gave Luo Binghe's mother some life-saving medicine. So she didn't die. But her health remained poor and Binghe never left her side, instead doing as much of her work as he was able to. So teenaged Binghe is basically a seemingly average, run-of-the-mill servant.

Shen Qingqiu is like "well this is pretty easy to fix actually" and approaches Luo Binghe as a wise immortal master type, says he sees Binghe's potential, and offers to take him on as a disciple. Luo Binghe is thrilled and kind of gobsmacked, but won't abandon his mother. Not a problem! Shen Qingqiu figured he wouldn't, so he offers to make arrangements to have Mama Luo comfortably set up in one of the villages at the base of the mountain. Sure, having her be alive and letting Binghe visit and write to her would be a deviation from the usual tragic backstory, but not a huge one! Shen Qingqiu is ready to mark this problem solved (and start dealing with all the other problems it creates for him) but the system is weirdly unsatisfied.

Turns out that even though Shen Qingqiu has found Luo Binghe (and a few discreet tests confirm that he has some sort of seal in place, and what are the odds of some other random orphan found on the Luo river, raised by a kindly-but-ill laundress, and named "Luo Binghe" exists in the same region?), the system still can't detect the Protagonist Halo Feature. The stupid glitching thing can't recognize the protagonist without it, so it keeps insisting that Shen Qingqiu locate him, even when he's kneeling right there and performing the tea ceremony for his initiation!

It's really annoying!

Especially since this means that the system won't actually safeguard Luo Binghe from harm. Which means it's up to Shen Qingqiu to make sure that his little white lotus disciple lives long enough to become the ruler of everything. This is easier said than done! Between the skinner demon side quest, and the demonic invasion, and various other side missions to build up the protagonist's potential, Luo Binghe is constantly getting into trouble and Shen Qingqiu keeps getting poisoned or injured trying to drag him back out of it in one piece!

Matters come to a head at the Immortal Alliance Conference (as they so often do). Shen Qingqiu is not planning to yeet Binghe, of course. Like this there's no guarantee of survival, and the system isn't even demanding it of him (because it still doesn't recognize the protagonist), but it seems to be demanding they turn up for the event anyway. Shen Qingqiu is a nervous wreck and fighting the urge to hover, because as expected, there is still a demonic invasion. Except this time Mobei Jun is there, and so is a mysterious cloaked figure who seems to be searching for something.

As soon as Shen Qingqiu claps eyes on the figure, the system chimes happily.

Protagonist Halo successfully located!

Turns out, part of Airplane's hacks involved stealing the halo and reassigning it to himself. Except that means that narrative destiny still wants him to hit certain plot beats, so he's been busily conquering the demonic realms -- in MBJ's name of course -- and mostly doing the bare minimum to satisfy the requirements while evading the system's efforts to regain contact. But now he's gotta go get Xin Mo somehow, except the minute Shen Qingqiu spots him so does the system.

The system, which immediately reassigns Airplane as the protagonist, and orders Shen Qingqiu to throw him into the Endless Abyss.

Which is like, better this rando than Binghe, so okay, but Mobei Jun is not cooperating plus the mysterious hooded stranger also seems pretty resistant to the idea (Airplane is NOT a heavenly demon, Protagonist Halo or no he's still actually a relatively squishy human cultivator, and he does not want to go into the hell pit), and between one thing and another Airplane manages to fall int the Abyss with Luo Binghe.

Not ideal. Which is to say, Shen Qingqiu is emotionally devastated and almost convinced that Luo Binghe has died for real and that Mysterious Halo Thief is going to come out somehow in a few years and chop off all his limbs, and Mobei Jun is extremely distressed because the man he intends to marry just fell into the Endless Abyss, and that seems like a difficult thing to somehow Evil Vizier your way out of.

The other peak lords arrive to keep Mobei Jun from killing Shen Qingqiu, and so everyone just kind of despairingly returns to their separate corners of the universe to wait and see what will happen.

Meanwhile, down in the Endless Abyss, Luo Binghe has unlocked his heavenly demon blood and is now constantly trying to kill Airplane. But thanks to the transferred protagonist halo it just doesn't work. The system interferes and creates a last-minute unlikely survival route for Airplane every time. They eventually reach an impasse where Airplane can't die but only Luo Binghe is strong enough to actually fight most of the creatures in the Abyss, and all this "fighting" between the two of them (generous description) keeps attracting big monsters.

So, Airplane offers a deal. He knows things about this place. Including how to get out. If Luo Binghe helps him fend off the monsters, then he'll help Luo Binghe survive and escape as well. He even offers to help him get away from Shen Qingqiu and make a place for himself in the demon realms! Luo Binghe tries to kill him again for that, so he drops that line of attempted bribery really quick and switches tactics. He knows more things! Things about Shen Qingqiu's past! Secrets he'll share if Luo Binghe helps him!

Is this the start of a beautiful new friendship?

No.

Turns out Luo Binghe and Airplane have exactly the correct combination of shared traits and differences to find one another mostly intolerable. But not intolerable to the point of not being able to manage teeth-clenched teamwork. By the time they get out of the Endless Abyss, Luo Binghe never wants to hear about cup noodles or tax collection or Mobei Jun's tits ever again, and Airplane feels much the same about anything at all to do with Shen Qingqiu (and either Shen Qingqiu is a fellow transmigrator now or else Luo Binghe has inserted a shockingly vivid delusion over the scum villain he wrote). But they're both alive and in joint custody of an evil sword.

Unfortunately, due to the bickering and the complexities of Shang Qinghua's sketchy memory for his own plots, it takes them even longer to get out of the Abyss than it took PIDW Luo Binghe to manage on his own.

And, uh. Well.

They don't find things in great shape, considering how they left them...

everyone i see saying "omg oliver really said eat the rich!!!1!111!!!!" are COMPLETELY missing the point of that movie. it was not an "eat the rich movie", it wasn't about class in that sense AT ALL. it was very much about desire and obsession and consumption. not class!!

#saltburn #sure class plays a small role in it #but its literally revealed that oliver ISNT poor he isnt living a bad life in a bad home in wanting conditions #he has a middle class family that seems fairly stable financially #he literally makes up all the stuff about having terrible parents who were neglectful and drunk all the time #so it really is not about him infiltrating this family to steal their money and property #not at all!!!!! #yeah he becomes obsessed with a boy from a rich family but it is not BECAUSE he is rich #that has nothing to do with it!! #and people who look at this film and only see it as an 'eat the rich' movie are doing it a GREAT disservice #they are fundamentally misunderstanding it

the thing i'm postulating about why dick liked nix so much, as if we actually need a reason beyond "he just did" or "ours isn't to reason why" is simply that nix gave dick companionship and accepted him and just like...stuck with him. the thing i think is truly at the heart of dick winters is that he was lonely but didn't know how to express it or didn't exactly always realize he was lonely. the fact that nix, a true libra, a true lush, a true cosmopolitan, looked at this much simpler pennsylvanian who didn't drink and wasn't the best at socializing and just went :) is a testament to the chemistry of the two. and i also think nix drove the friendship early on because already in 1943 lew is gifting him that (frankly nuts of him to do this) knife with their initials engraved onto it and i think maybe dick doesn't admit to feeling extremely close to him until 1944 because he's guarded? he's suspicious? he's maybe even himself confused at their pairing? but nix is always around, beyond dick's left shoulder, without dick even realizing it at first. and then after normandy he's just like. ohhh i adore you we are (boy)best friends. everything you do is endlessly charming (look not to paint over what a real pain in the ass he could be, but you cannot look me in the eye and tell me he wasn't charming), you are so dedicated to the job. nix accepted dick where he was and in turn i think it's a part of the reason dick accepts nix as an alcoholic who is extremely self-destructive at times. of course years later when all the other vets are like i have no idea why dick liked nixon so much dick couldn't be like....well he cured me of my loneliness, he was always there, he made me feel accepted, we've cultivated a decades long capital-R Romantic friendship and yes I will deliver his eulogy because masculinity. :) :) :) anyways

Sun Wukong: When someone points at your white clothes and asks whose funeral it is, having a look around the room and saying 'Haven’t decided yet' is typically a good response.

Thinking about how Childe's personality can be boiled down to three main parts (Abyssal Childe, his Harbinger role and the normal human boy) and whenever any two of them are in conflict he uses the third to solve it.

There's no place for abyssal bloodlust (and probably PTSD anger issues) in normal human life? Enlist in the military to have a safe outlet.

Abyssal desire for chaos contradicts the need for structure and subordination required in the military? Dig up the old childhood dream of being a knight, find a worthy sovereign, do it for her. Unspeakable horrors can have loyalties too.

The consequences of building a military career might burst the illusory bubble of normalcy he created for his siblings? Use awesome eldritch powers to punch everything that threatens to do that.

By which I mean yes, he's conflicted but it's also a surpsingly stable state. Like a 3-legged chair.

Removing any of his identities will cause the whole construct to collapse though.

#I know he didn't choose half of these #they still balance each other so nicely #the way he says 'she *will* get what she desires' in the golden house still gets me #the moment when I started to like him #and also that's why I hope that pulcinella is not in fact threatening his family #because what remains of his humanity and childhood idealism is also what keeps him stable and controllable #pulcinella probably isn't stupid #he knows the boy better than his own mother does #childe #tartaglia #genshin impact #fatui
