I Dont Usually Like Ai But MAN THE ABSOLUTE RIZZ AI CHARACTERS HAVE OH MY GOD

I think my thirteen year old self would be proud of who I am.. a hotter & better version of her ofc but still the same

Since this rant is gonna veer into a total different series it needs it's own post @k1201a.

The Shen Jiu arguments just plain out baffle me when they try to call Shen Qingqui/Yuan a self-insert for the audience and less interesting. Makes me just think they have never read the REALLY bad transmigration-reincarnation novels out there. Shen Yuan was reincarnated into the tragic life taped on cardboard out of karma and he said screw that because Shen Jiu really was for all intents and purposes hated by everyone but Yue Qingyuan.

Once he is, I dunno, REINCARNATED he is Shen Qingqui and embraces that on his terms because he ain't about to go back to living in his old life ever and doesn't want Shen Jiu's dumb choices.

He also draws the line of what he thought of Shen Jiu even in regards to Yue Qingyuan and made him put their old life at peace with the old Shen Jiu and the present Shen Qingqui. Since they chose different paths as the same person.

As if testing it out, Yue Qingyuan let out a, “Xiao Jiu…”

Shen Qingqiu: “Shixiong, it’s Qingqiu.”

Even though it was hard to explain the truth to Yue Qingyuan, Shen Qingqiu still hoped that he could show him the difference as much as possible.

Yue Qingyuan gave a start before he smiled weakly. “… It’s Qingqiu. Qingqiu-shidi.”

Ever since Shen Qingqiu entered the role of a character in the novel, he had always refused to become that scum villain from the original work. He had drawn a clear boundary and was proud of doing the complete opposite. There had never been a moment where he had as intense and impulsive a thought as he did now.

If he really were Shen Jiu, then everything would be fine.

If that person could really hear what Yue Qingyuan just said also, then everything would be fine.

It is just so frustrating with the western portion of MXTX novel fans making the most simple antagonists deeper than they are compared to the main characters because they don't understand what actual literary irony is. These books are not big brain energy and yet they still manage to have such wild takes.

Akashi: I don’t have a favorite friend. How could you even think that? All of my friends are of totally equal importance and worth.

Midorima: It’s Kuroko, isn’t it?

Akashi: I can’t help it, he has those “love me tender” eyes and I’m weak.

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

There was a tweet about Jingyi possibly being Jin Rusong, and this popped in my mind 🤣

LJY: What?! I’m your son? I’m Jin Rusong?!

JGY: Yes…Please und-

LJY: Is that why I’m short?!

JL: THAT’S YOUR BIG TAKE AWAY FROM THIS?!

LJY: SHUT UP! You don’t know what it’s like down here.

JL: You’re only 4 cm shorter!

LJY: 4 cm too short to reach the top of the shelf! This whole time I thought it was the bland food, but it turns out I came from midgets!

JGY: …

WWX: *Burst out laughing like a maniac*

JL: HOW ARE WE RELATED?

LJY: HOLY SHIT WE’RE RELATED?! No wonder I hate you!

JL: *In tears* Shut up! I hate you too!

LSZ: Guys, let’s calm down.

QS:…You know, I’m not so disgusted about the incest thing suddenly. But I want a divorce, and we’ll keep it a secret.

JGY: Unless you tell me who sent you the letter.

QS: No.

JGY: I need to know so that I can find out who else knows, and kill them so we won’t be slandered by the Cultivation World. Besides, who ever decided to tell you this now after all this time must be doing it for money.

QS:…It was Bicao. 

JGY: Thank you. Now excuse me future ex-wife. I’m going to go interrogate a maid.

*And thus Nie Huaisang gets found out, and it’s a whole different complicated mess where LXC is the one most shafted by it. In the mean time, Qin Su is happily living at Gusu to get to know her son.*
