This Is The Most Accurate Thing I’ve Seen All Day Thanks OP.

EVERYONE GO READ THIS FIC RN MY FRIEND WROTE IT AND IT ROCKS AND THEY DESERVE ALL THE NICE COMMENTS AND KUDOS!!!!!!

please and thank you ❤️😇

he’s stupid.

shang qinghua trying to have a movie night with his boyfriends and failing.“a yuan can you please stop criticizing the inconsistent characterisation and just watch the movie.” “MY KING STOP TRYING TO SKIP TO THE END JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS- OH MY GOD”

i just believe in mbj (no media literacy) being confused about the moral and emotional drama in stuff and just being like “if they were like 50% more okay with murder this would be over so much faster” vs sqq (way too much media literacy) overanalyzing every detail and jumping to wild conclusions

Sangcheng week Day 3 - Time

this is both "little silly idiots in love with bad timing" 💜💚 and also "i ran out of time can you tell" hahha

anyway this is it from me for this year,, didnt quite manage to wrangle uni and scweek this time around. but next year i will o7 (hopefully lol)

I don’t have issues for the other main MXTX ships, because the romance in TGCF and MDZS does not suffer from a lot of those issues. Hualian is a VERY healthy relationship/romance, with a lot of the issues that COULD be brought up being dealt with or explained later. Wangxian starts out with some questionable things (for example: teen lwj wanting to SA wwx), but they’re resolved BEFORE the couple begins to view each other in a genuine romantic light, and when they’re brought up again, LWJ doesn’t gaslight WWX about it, and is apologetic. He doesn’t make excuses or manipulate him, and they have enough trust built up at that point and open communication that WWX is able to understand it.

That said, I still am open about these issues with people I recommend the series to. That’s because even if contextually, certain aspects that would be toxic in other pairings might work in this one, it doesn’t CHANGE the actions of the characters. As fans, it’s part of our responsibility to make sure newer fans have a good experience in fandom. This doesn’t mean you have to change what you do - but simply be open about your content and fandom (thoroughly tagging, acknowledging problematic aspects, and being kind towards differing opinions), and allowing people to make informed choices to choose to interact or not interact with content.

Both Bingqiu and Moshang undoubtedly have toxic/questionable aspects to their relationship, but when looking at why I think Moshang works, and Bingqiu just doesn’t, I mainly point to how the “abuse” of their partners is handled.

When SQQ is abused by Binghe, Binghe plays the victim. Instead of being straightforward and serious, he cries and pleads, making HIMSELF the one in need of comfort, and causing SQQ to feel bad for being the ACTUAL victim. Moreover, Binghe is FULLY AWARE what he’s doing when he hurts or manipulates Qingqiu. There isn’t an excuse there.

Meanwhile, with MBJ and SQH, there’s a clear reason for their miscommunication: an issue of culture. While Binghe was raised in human society, Mobei-jun is very much attuned to demon culture - and has blind spots. But unlike Binghe, when he becomes aware of the harm he’s doing, and how it’s being perceived, he doesn’t play the victim:

He sincerely apologizes to Shang Qinghua

He offers a way of “correcting” it

He then tries to do what Shang Qinghua had told him would be better understood, showing that he cares more about Qinghua’s feelings than tradition.

Mobei-Jun isn’t mean, like I see a lot of fanworks imply. Mobei-Jun sincerely does NOT WANT to hurt Shang Qinghua, and when he realizes he is, he stops. Binghe hurts Shen Qingqiu knowingly, and when he does, he plays the victim or guilts Shen Qingqiu. This is why Moshang, in my eyes, just works.

You are a top tier commenter, I can attest to this. I might not be a big fandom name or a good fic writer, but the fact that you still take the time to tell me what you loved about the fics I write shall never cease to make me smile! Thank you so much!

saw somebody saying they don't post comments bc they don't want the author to reply? WTF is author dni??? I LOVE IT WHEN THE AUTHOR REPLIES TO ME THAT SHIT IS AMAZING it's like we're sending fandom themed postcards to each other it's like we're pen pals IT GIVES ME SO MUCH SEROTONIN i don't understand that mentality I WANT THE AUTHOR TO KNOW HOW THEY HAVE AFFECTED ME and then pat me on the head and tell me i'm a good reader

me @ me: bc i want a good grade in fanfic reader which is both normal to want and possible to achieve

ps authors owe me nothing btw if your energy is split btwn replying to comments or posting a new thing I will always support your efforts towards new thing. or yk taking a break for self care bc that's important too

Two Time AU continued: Shang Qinghua! Fun fact: Lichtenberg figure scars occur when people survive severe electrocution. Shitty hair dye occurs when college students make bad decisions. Shang Qinghua has both! (To part one of this AU)

So. This bitch.

ahem. That’s all.

we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don't hate women

okay but imagine-

Shen Qingqiu ends up as Mobei Jun’s “date” to a demon meeting of sorts, due to Shang Qinghua’s workload just being too much to make it. They’ve been going along with this sort of “arrangement” (throuple? is it a relationship?) for a bit now, but SQQ still isn’t sure that MBJ even LIKES him. Surely he’s just tolerating him for Qinghua’s sake. A few hours into the event, SQQ is way too overwhelmed. His head is spinning, it’s too loud, too much- it’s all a blur already. He can barely discern what’s happening, and he’s ready to find a corner and hope no demon notices him hyperventilating. Before he can leave though, a hand is on his shoulder, and he’s back at Moshang’s place (their place? Is it his too now?) and he’s being led to their bed, a voice telling him to breathe. Mobei Jun is just holding him, cold and solid, a hand running through his hair. They just sit there, until SQQ can feel the room he’s in again. He knows then that it isn’t just Qinghua that MBJ cares about. SQQ is cared about - genuinely, really cared about - by two people. It’s more than he could’ve asked for.

i love the fact that shang qinghua, who has always considered himself the height of mediocrity, scored the two pickiest people in the world: Mobei Jun, who will simply freeze people into ice cubes and leave them to die if he doesn't vibe with them, and Shen yuan, who was born being a hater, died being a hater, woke up, and continued being a hater.

Shen Qingqiu literally used to have lists of cup ramen brands he refused to eat bc the texture of their noodles was off, and Mobei Jun has killed people for disliking the sound of their feet when they walked.

but they both looked at this hamster once and were like “fucking marriage material lets go”
