One day I'm going to write a fic from SQH's POV and there's gonna be a giant elephant in the room. A horror element whenever he's chatting with SY!SQQ. Something off that he just gets progressively guiltier about.
SQH's System was abundantly clear that this was his hell (it was in his notes during a major depressive episode). That he deserved to live in the world he made and suffer the consequences.
Meanwhile, Peerless Cucumber never let up while SQH was alive. Was always there for him every time he posted. Basically aired out SQH's own grievances against the state of his writing. SQH didn't jokingly ask for rich fuck Peerless Cucumber to be his patron because...
馃-bro was a ghost account. SQH created Shen Yuan. Used his own money to buy every chapter to rip it to shreds. It was therapeutic and deranged but it generated traffic like you wouldn't believe.
SY is exactly how he was written: madly in love with LBH and repressed about it and pissed that PIDW didn't have more monster lore and less papapa scenes. LBH deserves a happy ending!! WHERE WAS IT AIRPLANE !
SQH is in hell because his best friend-anti fan-meme generator is as imaginary as everyone else in this damned world. An NPC who holds the reins of their reality and is doing a bad job at making LBH happy because 馃-bro refuses to let himself be happy.
Ironic!! Just like his Dad!! Hahahahaha!!
Shang Qinghua is in hell but acts like nothing is wrong. He can't be OOC towards his Frenemy Bestie, his greatest black powder fan, his greatest real life con. It would break SY if he actually thought through the ramifications. Ha! Who was he kidding? 馃-bro would probably brush it off like his 'homo? Me? Pah! No homo!' tendencies
SQH wants to lock himself in a room and sob himself hoarse but his eyes are dry and his smile remains stretched tightly over his teeth while SY rambles and complains about shit that doesn't really matter.
In this world SQH is the NPC and Cucumber-bro is the Godly Protagonist with wife beam eyes.
The translucent System-faced android next to him, scoring his every interaction and completely undetectable to anyone else, doesn't help either.

Scout's Brother never liked her....
He was very avoidant and dismissive around her. He would get annoyed easily and snap at her for anything he found to be annoying or bothersome. He was angry, all the time, worse than Riley's anger when she had a bad day. he would call her names and belittle her whenever he saw her. Whenever she did anything.
It was clear to Scout that her brother did not like her and wanted nothing to do with her. So she would simply avoid him. Deciding that if he wanted to talk to her, he would come to her himself.
And one day it happened.
her brother came up to her one day while she was watching the old TV that Riley had allowed her to keep after she found it. He had a calm smile on his face. He never smiled around her. It was almost...unnerving to witness.
He told Scout that he wanted to surprise Riley. Today was her birthday, and he wanted to make it special. Which confused Scout. Her brother hated Riley. He couldn't care less about anyone's birthday either. Her ninth birthday was just last month and he didn't want anything to do with her. So why did he change all of a sudden?
Regardless of how odd it was, she decided to help. Even if she was hesitant, he never asked for help, so she wasn't going to just turn him away.
Her brother told her that he was planning a small party for her, and she needed to be completely distracted so she wouldn't find out.
"that's why I need you" He said. "She cares about you way more than she really should"
That was always his argument
"She cares about both of us, she's just overprotective of me.."
"Whatever you say, number one"
"Why do you keep calling me that?"
"Don't worry about it, this isn't about you anyways."
"...okay...what do you want me to do? How do I distract her?"
"Don't worry, I know what will cause a big enough disturbance that will take up all of her attention. I'm going to help you by setting the bait"
He smiled, holding his hand out"
"just give me your hand..."
........
"Are you SURE that's what happened?"
Riley hadn't been doing anything too important. She was sitting at her private desk reading some sort of newspaper, catching up on the outside worlds scientific discoveries, when her daughter came in. She was sniffling, holding onto her arm. Blood was dripping down onto her shirt and onto the floor. there was a long and decent sized cut going over her elbow.
Riley immediately rushed her to the medical section of her lab and sat her down. She then began to clean, stich and bandage the wound.
"Y....yes... yeah. I was running, but I wasn't paying attention... and then I tripped and fell on some glass and it got stuck in my arm, I pulled it out but it left a scar.."
"Uh huh, Okay."
She finished bandaging the injury, but she didn't move from her spot.
"I know you're lying to me"
Of course she did. But Scout wasn't supposed to let her find that out. "I'm not..it was just an accident-"
"Scout, there's no way this was an accident. The cut is a perfect straight line, there was no stuffing removed or anything, it looks like someone cut you"
Scout went silent. Riley sighed and gently held her daughters hands.
"What happened?"
.............
As it turned out, Scouts brother lied about everything.
Riley's birthday was back in October, she and her siblings all had the same birthday. October thirty first, and it was currently the sixth of January.
Riley was absolutely LIVID. And rightfully so. Her son just slashed her daughters arm, just to use her as a distraction. And she needed to find him, now.
She took Scout with her as she began searching for her son. Why did he dare to hurt Scout to distract her? Why was he trying to distract her in the first place?
A loud crack caught her attention. She rushed towards what sounded like the source of the noise...and there he was. Slamming a chair into the window.
"Axe"
"Mom" Axe hissed, taking another swing at the already cracking window. Scout flinched and covered her ears upon hearing the awful sound of glass breaking. The warehouse windows were rather strong, but they weren't invincible... if broke, they would lead to outside...
Was he trying to escape?
Riley had a rule in place when it came to outside. Neither of the two were allowed to go out. Not until they were thirteen, then she would go with them. her brother was four months away from being able to go outside. Why was he trying to escape like this? Was there another reason? Was it Riley? Was it the warehouse conditions? Was it...her?
Scout didn't attempt to question him and his reasoning. Riley and her brother were now fighting. yelling. shouting over one another. Riley yelling at her son for hurting his sister and Axe yelling at both Riley and Scout.
They kept shouting, as Riley tried to take the folded metal chair away from him...but when she got close Axe raised the chair above his own head...and slammed it down on hers.
Riley fell to the ground and stopped moving. Trembling, Scout knelt down beside her, leaning her head against her chest. Her heart was still beating, and she was still breathing...but she was unconscious and her head was bleeding. But she was still alive.
She glared up at her brother. "You almost KILLED HER!" she snarled, her ears standing up on end.
Her brother raised the chair again, ready to swing once more. He returned the glare. His eyes were cold and full of hate.
"You should have stayed dead"
He swung the chair, and the window finally broke. Shattered glass was thrown everywhere. Scout covered her face with her hands as glass hit, scratching into her palms.
When it was safe, she ran over to the window and looked out of the damaged remains. Watching as her brother ran through the snow. Watching as he ran...and ran...
She watched as he ran right into death itself. And she watched in horror, as death tore her brother to shreds
she watched it devour him while he was still alive.
..................
"So...that's what happened to your brother, then?"
"Yeah..its a messy story, I know. But that's how I remember it..I watched something horrifying tear him apart...it came out of nowhere and fucking ate him. I told Riley everything that happened after she recovered. She says its not my fault, but I just....I don't know."
"I'm sorry to hear that. He was not a good brother to you, but you still seemed to care a lot about him"
"yeah..I used to. But he was an asshole..He's dead anyways."
Scout sighed, running her hands over her bandaged arms.
"it's not like anything he said stuck to me that badly anyways."
