Hello, Barney!

I do think its really important to remember that SY was suppose to be the villain character but its only because of his kindness and newly gained life that he didn’t end as one. In the very beginning of the story we learn that Peerless Cucumber Bro often left comments on how SJ didn’t get his dues and needed to be punished more, and only after he transmigrated did he acknowledge how awful of a death SJ had. He also made point to explain that he only read the book for LBH, which he noted to enjoy his decisive actions and deft ability to kill. Markedly, he liked his brutality and personality over the erotica that the majority of PIDW fans enjoyed. Peerless Cucumber Bro is someone who loves action and the ability to cut right to the chase, something that he does not do and most likely has difficulty with in his world.

Speaking of, it is something to note that Peerless Cucumber bro is rich. He had head chefs, he could pay for a 6k+ chapter book of erotica in 20 days, he noted that he could not understand SJs envy and ambition for power since he lives well, and he even noted to himself that his family was well off. He is incredibly wealthy, and it shows. Which is important to note because he, not once, showed any guilt or remorse on dying and leaving his family behind. Yes, he sometimes refers to people as being similar to his family but he never showed any pain for losing that life like he did when he lost LBH. This is important because I genuinely think SY was depressed and self destructive to himself, which goes against popular HC that he was chronically/terminally ill (I do like this HC and like how its portrayed in fanfiction). It would explain how he ended up dying all alone by himself, and how blase he was to his own life and death.

SQQ is a self destructive force who ended up dying three times, and didn’t feel anything about death itself. He was worried about others and the effect it had on them, but for himself it was up and on again like it never happened. He does not care for his health, had self isolated as SY to the point he died alone, and has a horrible self esteem to the point that he continuously agrees when other people put him down and often calls himself the villain. Even though we have seen the evidence of someone who is always being thrust into new situations and awful plots, he calls himself lazy and easy going. He hides his thoughts and feelings behind his fan and has a remarkably thin face. At the very base of his actions and his thoughts, he is self destructive, powerful, and smart. This is the set up for a villain.

However, when shown the actual people in front of him and forced to act as SJ did towards LBH and his disciples, he flinches from it. He notes that it happening in front of him was different. His entire self soothing comedy monologue went quiet when he had to enforce the Endless Abyss scene, and grieved for the childish innocence he killed from one of his favourite people. SY was set up to be the villain and obviously thinks of himself as one, but can not act as one. If he had the choice LBH would have been his sticky sweet white lotus disciple for as long as LBH wished to be.

His kindness, as seen in the book, is what turned him from being “the scumbag villain” to the protagonist we see in the novels. Which, yes, he is a protagonist! He even has the protag halo that LBH has and its very funny in the meta way for SQQ not to realize this, but thats for another post. But he loves his disciples, he loves his peak lord siblings, he loves his Binghe, he loves his new life, and he is kind. That is what kept him from being the villain he sees himself as, his kindness and love for others. Whether that be romantic, platonic, or familial, he loves the people he has met and he treats them kindly. That is why it is important to remember that he was set up as the villain by everything in the story we do not see, but what we do see is him continuously changing the story to fit a new genre that lets as many people as he can save live. Sorry sorry, I just think about SY being set up as a villain so much. It changes a lot of views I have on the series when I remember the duality of SYs story and character development.

Ruin is shorter than Solar.

I can fully imagine Solar would just toss Ruin over his shoulder and run if there was the slightest possibility of danger.

Hey, bud.

There's something Vishnu (technically Mohini but Vishnu has communicated with you the most), and I have been meaning to tell you...

Alright, here goes nothing...

We are your REAL parents.

I'm so sorry for leaving you with your adoptive parents. I hope they were nice to you. But I want you to understand that Vishnu (Mohini) and I love you so, so much.

That's a nice one :)

Thanks for helping me cheer up but I doubt I'd be the kid of two gods, to be fair- too high of a bar to set lmao.

But it means a lot that you consider me as your kid, thank you :)

Hey Boo heyyyy,

You know I'm in love with TFA (swoon). So, my question is who in your life or someone who's close to you their life did the inspiration of the Drake family evolve?

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy BOO!!!!!

I mean, I wont say who specifically... I mean I might... so basically...

So at first, I made Indya as the complete opposite of myself in terms of traits because we gotta do that sometimes!! What would it be like to play in a way that might make you cringe? It was fun and a form of escapism (why so many of us play, amirite). It was also a challenge after playing out another very wholesome family.

ANYWAY

I would absolutely say that, throughout this saga, there have been themes and personalities and situations that were inspired by either mine or the experiences of people I grew up with or around or loved.

I wrote all that and then decided I won't say who, specifically. I think the reason is its personal but also, what I love is that people who read this feel a familiar connection to either a persona I've written or a situation I've put a character in. I love when I can relate to something and others do too!

So.... are there real life inspos woven throughout this story? Even the OCs? Absolutely. Will I say who and what and when? No because I ain't no snitch.

ALSO

There is a little bit of me sprinkled in everything I write, even that wild ride of a Globetrotter Challenge. Its fun!

I'm almost looking forward to my gum graft later this week, just to have it over with

it's not the only one I'll need, but the others will be over the course of years. and I'll know what to expect after this

and in the shorter-term future...the dreading will be over, that's been in the back of my mind for months

I recently made lots of chicken stock! I wanna make soup but I don’t know any recipes. Any suggestions?

How pissed do you think Shen Yuan is when he finds out that a different version of himself (that’s living his transmigrator dream WHAT THE FUCK HOWS THAT FAIR-) sold him out to Bingge. Like on a scale of one to SQH made another sex pollen wife plot, how mad?

I love this movie about.... zoro's past boyfriend being taken over by a curse
