#OG LBH and OG SJ are foils

I don't think I've seen anyone bring up the parallels of Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan and Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu, as in, both SY and YQY kept important information from the people they loved, leaving SJ and LBH to think that they don't care about them. It's fascinating, because of YQY lack of communication, it caused SJ to be cruel to others, which is exactly what happened with LBH after SY refused to tell him that he didn't hate him. I know LBH and SJ are supposed to have a lot of parallels, but this is another layer that I haven't really thought about before

The reading comprehension of the SV fandom when it comes to SJ is god awful, because everyone is missing the whole point between how SJ and OG LBH are written.
SJ's only crime was abusing the protagonist, while the rest were all false accusation. While OG LBH committed every single crime that SJ was falsely accused of. Yet because OG LBH is the protagonist while SJ is the antagonist, it's SJ who got hated by everyone in PIDW while OG LBH had gotten praised for it. Because it's a huge trope in many novels and especially in power fantasies like stallion novels that the protagonist can be the worst person to ever walk the face of the earth and commit every crime imaginable, yet they will still be the hero of the story loved by all. While people who are in every single way less evil in comparison (because abusing a child is by far less worse than committing genocide and raping tons of women) are still considered the bigger evil who deserve to suffer and don't deserve redemption like the protagonist.
It's unfair and SJ and OG LBH are supposed to show how unfair the balance is all because one of them is the protagonist with his all-powerful halo and the other is the antagonist fated to fall. Yet people fail to see that it is supposed to be unfair towards SJ and keep on going on that SJ is scum who deserved it all and keeping on claiming that he did things he did not do but in fact OG LBH committed in canon. Thus they are literally displaying what MXTX was critiquing with how she wrote both of them, making it clear that they missed the whole point.
Now I am not saying that you have to love SJ and hate OG LBH or anything like that. But please use some critical thinking and stop denying the fact that SJ and OG LBH are a foil to each other.

pokemon au
:)
sj!sqq:
crobat. yes its a friendship evolution. raised since a baby zubat. literally sqq’s first pokemon. no one ever brings this up. yes this is because i think sj is more of a softie than people think of him as. so there.
charizard. lovingly and tenderly raised since it was a charmander. evolved into charmeleon to help burn down the qiu house. sj literally saved its life. in the og timeline, lbh literally kills it. thats too dark
kadabra. lovingly raised since it was an abra. sj has been trying to get it to evolve to alakazam for ten years.
marowak. has been with sqq ever since qi-ge left. evolved the same time as charmander.
yamask. you know, people say yamask are the ghosts of people who died of betrayal...
sy!sqq
so first off. the kadabra and the marowak left because they like sj not sy.
golbat. because sqq’s first pokemon will not give him the dignity of a friendship evolution.
charizard. but charizard is NOT happy about it. its just sticking around in case sj comes back :(
yamask, but it makes fun of sy behind his back.
ditto, the copycat pokemon
mimikyu
yqy
aegislash. has been raised since it was a honedge “Honedge's soul once belonged to a person who was killed a long time ago by the sword that makes up Honedge's body.” “Once upon a time, a king with an Aegislash reigned over the land. His Pokémon eventually drained him of life, and his kingdom fell with him.” :)
dragonite. cause its a pseudo legendary which is known for kindheartedness
phantump. “These Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died in the forest. Their cries sound like eerie screams.”
serperior cause it reminds him of sj
gardevoir because gardevoir is the protective psychic type :)
sqh
alolan vulpix. a gift from mbj but sqh just thinks its cute. it bullies him all the time though
wishiwashi. cause its a crybaby! and sqh loves water types cause he needs to calm down.
jigglypuff. because he REALLY needs to calm down. and also jigglypuff gets mad when on one likes its singing like sqh does when no one likes his writing.
mime jr. cause it can be used for spying and its tiny and adorable and so fucking weird.
mandibuzz which was a vullaby in the original work but sqh raised it to evolve. vulture cause he just preys on leftovers & refuse.
mbj
beartic. yeah just cause its a cool looking ice type you know how it is.
froslass. the ice type pokemon that eats humans. thats on brand for mbj
sneasel. vicious ice/dark type who i love <3
alolan ninetales cause alolan ninetales is way more vicious than alolan vulpix and also more of a cool beauty, which sqh is known for giving to mbj.
vanillite. was a gift from sqh which mbj has a very complicated relationship with because its scared of mbj but mbj really wants to use it to make a relationship with sqh but it just fucking hides from him.
mqf
chansey. yeah. cheap. i know.
butterfree
audino
lqg
hariyama. fuck yeah big ol fighty guy.
medicham. same reason as above.
mienshao. see above.
lucario. pseudo legendary fighting type. absolute king shit. also has a strong sense of justice
umbreon. love evolution. good for him.
sha hualing
mawile. “Don't be taken by this Pokémon's cute face - it's very dangerous. Mawile fools the foe into letting down its guard then chomps down with its massive jaws. The steel jaws are really horns that have been transformed.”
chimecho. cause. cause its a bell pokemon.
nidoqueen. it just suits her.
liepard for the same reasons lmao
ning yingying
smoochum in the og work, jynx in the sy!sqq verse 
ralts in the og work, kirlia/gardevoir in sy!sqq
azurill in the og work, marill in sy!sqq
pokemon she didnt have in the og work but she does have in sy!sqq
primarina, lovingly and tenderly raised
huntail cause she used the wrong evolutionary stone on clampearl lmao
bingge
zoruark. cause hes supposed to be dark and tough and also zoruark is a pseudo legendary so. there we go.
hydreigon but was forced to evolve early. another pseudo legendary because i think sqh would just give bingge whatever the coolest pokemon are.
banette. “Resentment at being cast off made it spring into being. Some say that treating it well will satisfy it, and it will once more become a stuffed toy.” found in the endless abyss.
salamence. “After many long years, its cellular structure underwent a sudden mutation to grow wings. When angered, it loses all thought and rampages out of control.”
hypno. dream pokemon in a weird creepy and mean way.
absol. “Long ago, superstitions were spread about it, saying it brought disaster. This fed a hatred of it, and it was driven deep into the mountains.”
bingmei
altaria. fluffy dragon type and more friendly than the other dragon types. genuinely friendly.
munna. dream pokemon replacement for hypno. because its more friendly :)
sylveon. because you need two hearts in pokemon amie to evolve it and bingmei is a very loving boy.
stufful pre-abyss, bewear post-abyss. because hes a hugger and he can actually put up with getting hugged by bewear. also kind of a foil to banette, the evil stuffie pokemon.
zoruark because lbh isnt actually evil and neither is zoruark no pokemon is :) anyways. tenderly and lovingly raised since it was a zorua. they are best friends.
wooloo. cause. hes the white sheep protagonist :)
