feel free to talk to me! whether it's here or discord (datastate), i promise i don't bite :P i'm just here to be a little sicko in my corner of the world, really... <3

also! though i'll tag certain relationships for archival reasons, i'm not really too invested in any particular romantic pairs - with only a handful of exceptions, where even then, i tend to favor characters' general dynamics! they're much more fun to me :]

i am also open to requests! though i ask for patience, as i am disabled and it often leaves my energy for drawing/writing sparse 🫶

Maladaptive deeply held belief: nobody could ever love me. Im going to die alone

Positive counterthought: maybe someone has an exceptionally rare form of mental illness that would cause them to make the grave mistake of wanting to fuck me

good lord shen qingqiu-yuan what is wrong with you. i am truly tempted to draw so many of his lines abt yqy

[Book 1, pg. 23] The amicable-looking elder-brother type, [Yue Qingyuan,] was a bleeding heart, nothing to be afraid of. Though his character ended up suffering quite a bit, during his read, Shen Yuan had been rather fond of him.
[Book 2, pg. 270] At those words, turmoil surged within Shen Qinggiu’s chest. When it came to the people whom Shen Qinggiu most admired and revered in this world, the one who placed first was none other than Yue Qingyuan.
[Book 2, pg. 281] However, though the transmigrated Shen Qingqiu admires Yue Qingyuan more than anyone, he realizes he is no longer the intended recipient of this favor. As Yue Qingyuan continues to go to great lengths for someone who’s no longer around to appreciate the sentiment, Shen Qinggiu must wrestle with his conscience: How long can he keep up this unintentional catfishing scheme?
[Book 3, pg. 233] “Zhangmen-shixiong, can you handle this by yourself?” Shen Qinggiu asked. “Or | could stay behind…” Yue Qingyuan actually smiled. “When asked to stay, you leave. Yet when told to leave, you try to stay. Xiao… Shidi, really.”
[Book 3, pg. 270] Shen Qinggiu had never seen the sect leader appear so weak. Yue Qingyuan had always been stolid and full of strength. Even if he never spoke too much or too little, even if he lacked any aggressiveness and was gentle and affable, he was also extremely dependable and dignified.

he cares about him so much. nothing but praise for shixiong

"Then Zhangmen-shixiong must not impulsively draw his sword in the future,” said Shen Qinggiu. “One’s cultivation can be improved, more breakthroughs can always be achieved, but one’s life force can never be returned.” Yue Qingyuan gently shook his head. “One’s life force is not the only thing that cannot be returned."

book 3, pg. 301

lines that make you throw your phone out of the window

truly the only way to shift out of yqy mode is to listen to alamat's aswang (ningmingling). but watch out. next thing you know, ily ily comes on and they hit you with the siak pay lang iti mangaywan kadakayo amamin which is like. well what if i died and took yqy with me.

every time i get to the maigu ridge sequence it just hurts on so many levels. hi. holds your hand. it's a fucking hall of mirrors in here. tlj and lbh both, when told they were loved, their first instinct is to ask that it's true, that it's said and shown from the heart. lbh's pleas for someone in this life to choose him; sj's belief no one has ever chosen him. yqy reflecting upon the truth of sxy & tlj's tale, using wu chen's exact phrasing in how pitiless the world is that they were apart as qi & jiu died. the amount of regret yqy holds for not being impulsive when he should've been, to save sqq these past several years; and sqq himself, these past several years, having rarely given in to allowing his (perceived) vulnerabilities -- how neither of them feel they've proven how much they care abt their chosen person through this restraint they've held themselves to. xuan su and its reflection of xin mo's parasitic nature; xin mo's forceful manner in which it complies with its user's "wish" and hangs as a threat even when unused as a direct parallel to the system. it's so much. it's so much.

it's hard being a meiyin/qingqi fan. not for any real reason, but rather just because writing madam meiyin is difficult. qi qingqi's heart broke several times over in the fallout before it steeled over. meiyin thinks the divorce is a sex thing and has been edged for 20 years.

had such a weird nightmare hello? why am i the plane pilot all of a sudden! i didn't ask to witness sqq dramatically letting go of binghe for the millionth time to retrieve his "good luck charm" (lbh vc: i'm your good luck charm! little does he know it was a system mishap(?)) literally minutes before the plane takes off. can you two chill. the people on the intercom are yelling at me for not moving the damn plane. binghe he's left. he's gone. jump out of a window and find his next flight if you're so inclined. this one’s gotta get out of the way or else i'm making traffic back up. yes, yes, thank you for making me vomit up blood violently. can we take off now. well fuck.
