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.

#SVSSS #scumbag self saving system #Shen Yuan #shen jiu #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #Meta #I think?? Haha I dont usually do metas but I dont know how to write fanfic for this series #so Im just writing down my thoughts on the characters #Like how if we see this from the PIDW characters POV SY is truly a villain #Its just something that makes me laugh because he is a villain just as much as he isnt!#what a wonderful complex character to write for. This type of story.#I wonder if Peerless Cucumber Bro would forgive me for writing meta about him?? I think he would be kind of happy but utterly disgusted #ew fans that actually think im complex even though Im a really simple person with no hidden motives -SQQ probably #I love this fucking idiot so much I relate to him on a spirtual level and think he was probably depress to the point of having A Plan.#if you know what I mean #because I still think him reading PIDW entirely in 20 days marks a special occasion for something and if its not for the final chapter...#Anyway #I love this stupid sweet potato of a character #Oh! New tag!#Sweet Potato SQQ #for archiving puproses on meta for him #Probably not good meta I didnt even add quotes or page numbers Im just talking out my ass from what I remember #Watch me write an essay on this lmao

the thing about people who tend to be really into villains is like. I have no moral issue with this. My problem is that you get people who are like yeah I love VILLAINS I'm VILLAINOUS and EDGY. And then when you're like ok cool anyway I think this villain does bad things, in the narrative, which to be clear, is their purpose, and I have again no moral issue because this is pretend and a story, they're like "no? my shmoopy? would NEVER. my sweet villain baby who has never done wrong? I love them because they're evil but if you say they're evil i'm going to scream and scream and scream." and also if you make any jokes about the villain they're like "actually this is deeply insulting to them because they had trauma in their life? You're so mean to my murder puppy" and like. The true secret is most villain stans just want to fuck the villain. And again. I have no moral issue with this. I support it, even. But I wish they would thoroughly lean into that desire for the villains instead of scouring the fandom and throwing a tantrum whenever people are like "wow I think the bad person character is sorta bad and here's a meme about it"

#like really the thing is a lot of villain stans also have the tumblr etiquette skills of a rotting potato #and the victim complex of. well. a fantasy villain.#it's like an offshoot of when people are like why is this minor npc not the center of the story and it's like. well.#queue #it really is like people who like heroic paladin figures: fuck the haters I guess #people who like villains: um your post in which you said you didn't like my favorite hurt my feelings? why are you attacking me?

Which Wordgirl villain would win in a fight?

Rules: No powers or gadgets. Just fists. The only exceptions are if their powers/gadgets are literally part of their bodies. It'll make sense when we get to the fight.

Ranking under the cut because it's a very long post

30. Amazing Rope Guy

Yeah this is a surprise to literally no one. He is considered probably the most pathetic villain in the entire city, and there are characters with absolutely no powers who beat him.

Pretty much every other villain is capable of escaping jail. He isn't. In The Rise of Miss Power and A World Without Wordgirl, he is seen stuck in jail while every other villain escapes or is out and about.

His only other ability other than his mediocre rope skills is his ability to imitate, but that doesn't really help him in a fighting setting.

29. Timmy Tim-Bo

Pretty much as pathetic as Amazing Rope Guy in a fighting setting. I was debating whether or not he should be above or below ARG, but for now i'm leaving him here.

I honestly don't have much to say about him. He most likely passes out mid battle. The only reason he's above ARG is because ARG is more likely to tie himself up in the rope.

28. Royal Dandy

While Royal Dandy is able to shoot paint from his hands and heal any injuries by just painting himself back up, his major disadvantage is that he's a Lady Redundant Woman clone.

Though he's clearly not the same as the other clones, he's still a clone. Lady Redundant Woman is completely capable of just zapping him out of existence.

On top of that, pretty sure he's canonically dead?-

27. Tobey

Some of you may be confused by this, but keep in mind, no gadgets are allowed in this fight. Only fists or any physical enhancements.

Without his 'row-bits,' Tobey is a literal child with zero athletic skills

26. The Coach

This dude is pathetic and sad and is the size of a child. His size may give him an advantage in dodging, but otherwise that's it.

25. Glen Furlblam

So Glen not only doesn't have any superpowers, but he's not very athletic or successful in general.

On top of that, he's a thin dude, so i doubt he'd have a chance at dog piling anyone.

24. Captain Tangent

That is a child with a hook hand he isn't allowed to use. His only advantage is his weight.

23. Victoria Best

Another literal child with zero super powers. (Ok, i get she has the laser eye.. telekinesis... thing, but that doesn't really do much damage)

The only reason she's above Tobey is because of her desire to be the best. If she's the 'best' at everything, that means her parents most likely signed her up for several martial arts, that she could be at least ok at.

22. Brent

Brent is in a similar situation as Tangent, with his only advantage being his weight. Since he is an adult, he has a greater advantage.

21. Mr Big

Mr Big also doesn't have any superpowers and is pretty much in the same boat as Brent. I'd say he's pretty equal to Brent really.

20. Reason

Reason doesn't have any superpowers, but he probably could create reasonable deductions on how to survive somewhat in a fight. Overall, he's just highly outclassed by everyone else.

19. Hal Hardbargain

This guy is really hard to place. I haven't watched a single episode he has a speaking role in, but based on what I have seen, despite the mechanical arm giving him a strength boost, his age and lack of any other powers probably leads to his ass getting kicked.

18. Invisi-Bill

First exception to the 'no powers' rule. The only reason he is exempt from the rule is because his power is a physical part of him.

Despite that, Invisi-Bill doesn't have much of an advantage. Sure he can stay out of harm's way for however long he's willing to stay invisible, but he is a thin guy with no other fighting ability and could easily be knocked out.

17. Big Left Hand Guy

Dude could murder with that hand.... if he knew how to fight. While he could smack someone with his hand, he doesn't have much fighting skill outside of it.

16. Chuck

Once again, no athletic strength. Just the weight advantage.

15. Dr Two Brains

Since there are no gadgets allowed, the doc is in a bit of trouble. However, he's seen to be incredibly quick, even avoiding Wordgirl in some scenes. I feel he can outrun many of the characters, but wouldn't really be able to throw a punch.

14. Ms Question

Kinda the same reasoning as Two Brains, but she could maybe throw a punch. I'm debating whether I should put her below him.

13. Kid Potato

He's an old guy who's not allowed to use his superpowers. Once again, his only advantage is weight.

12. The Butcher

All the same reasoning as his dad, except he's younger, so he's in slightly better shape.

11. Seymour

*deep inhale*

....Ok. Listen.

This mf INFURIATES me when it comes to this. For three reasons.

#1: The Rise of Miss Power

Assuming that every villain was locked away in the jail, that means every villain was able to escape (except for ARG). This includes Seymour which means Seymour either 1. Had someone else break him out or 2. Somehow broke out of the cell on his own.

#2:

Ok, this one may be a bit of a stretch, but it's been on my mind. In 'Tell Her What She's Won!,' Seymour locks Wordgirl and Huggy in a circular labyrinth room that he has control over via controls.

And in that room, Seymour causes the room to spin, flinging Wordgirl and Huggy into the walls.

I'm running off the assumption that in this scene, Wordgirl and Huggy hit the wall (including Huggy later bouncing off the wall in the cupcake game), and the wall doesn't break.

Later in the episode, not only does Seymour manage to stay standing while being tied up in metal bars, but he KICKS THE WALL DOWN???

How come he was able to break down the wall with his leg alone when two superpowered aliens weren't??

#3:

In "Who Wants to Get Rid of Wordgirl?" not only does he challenge Nocan the Contrarian to a duel, but he somehow holds his own in the fight

Admittedly, the fight doesn't last long, so maybe Nocan could've eventually bodied him, but that's still impressive considering Seymour's lack of muscle.

On top of that, he's fighting Nocan ONE HANDED, while Nocan is holding his own sword with two hands.

TL;DR: Seymour just may have the craziest sleeper build of the entire WG cast/hj

10. Lady Redundant Woman

This is another case of a character breaking the no superpowers rule. However, she can't be any higher than this. While she could dogpile people with her clones, she isn't very physically fit and wouldn't be able to do much damage. Plus, her clones aren't unlimited, and so once she runs out, she's in trouble. She's above Seymour because she actually has a superpower.

9. Granny May

Granny May without her super suit is actually pretty agile and quick and would most likely be able to do a good chunk of damage. However, I feel as though there is someone on this list who matches her talent, but has the advantage because of Granny May's age.

8. Leslie

Leslie is an incredibly intelligent karate master several extra skills. I'm kinda sad she can't be placed any higher, because her major disadvantage is that she has zero superpowers. That being said, she's no slouch, as she's been seen to overpower Wordgirl on several occasions.

7. Rhyme

I had to double check Rhyme's wiki because I was so close to placing her really low on the list for some reason. She's another character who breaks the no superpowers rule. Even without her ice-breath, she's got super speed and super strength, which I think just helps her defeat Leslie.

6. The Whammer

Even without his whams, Whammer is actually pretty fit, as he is scene pulling two cars using his waist alone (I forgot what episode, but it's the Coach's debut)

5. Nocan

Nocan and the Whammer are on pretty equal footing, but I think Nocan could be slightly stronger than the Whammer.

4. Eileen

This may seem like pretty high placing for a child, but keep in mind, Eileen is basically if Tobey was one of his robots (meaning she once again breaks the powers rule). She can do pretty intense damage, uprooting trees, severely damaging buildings, and much more.

3. Maria

Maria is a being made from pure electricity. How are you meant to punch her? She does have some weaknesses, which is why she isn't any higher.

2. Miss Power

Yeah this is a surprise to literally no one most likely. She's physically stronger than Wordgirl and all of the other villains, plus she also has super strength and super speed.

But who's above her?

The Learnerer

Ok. Listen. The implications of this guy's super suit makes him pretty insane. He's able to learn anything from seeing it once. It's no wonder why he only showed up in about 3 episodes, because he's way too overpowered. He'll be able to avoid anyone's attacks and fight back. Eventually, he'll learn all of Miss Power's tactics, and wipe the floor with her. This also makes him have the most unique exception to the no superpowers or gadgets rule.

TL;DR: The character voiced by Weird Al-Motherfucking-Yankovic is the strongest character in Wordgirl.

A story based on @black-rose-events's recent prompt list! This one is day two, because I forgot a) February has in fact kicked off, and b) we are two days in.

Tw/Cw for death, murder, and guns

-----

Reporter stared at the papers they'd found in Detective’s office, illuminated by the soft, yellowed glow of his lamp. It was dark outside, by now, the clock on the wall keeping a steady pulse as Reporter read. This.. this was big. Evidence for every murder they'd been tracking, lists of names struck through in red, pictures of faces that had been painted in the news weeks earlier. The dead. Those responsible. At least, that's how it had seemed.

Until now. There was more blood than just that of the convicted on Detective’s hands, and they couldn't let that go now. Was being here technically illegal? Most likely. Was what Detective had done the same? Absolutely. They had to get this to headquarters. They had to let the authorities know. They had to-

Reporter looked up, eyes wide against a shock of darkness as the door opened.

“[Reporter]. Fancy seeing you here. What brings you to my office? My desks? My documents?” Detective tilted his head, one hand silently shutting the door, locking it with a soft click.

Reporter drew in a breath, clamping down on the panic clawing at their ribs. “I'm here investigating everything you've done, [Detective]. If that even is your name.”

They stood, still clutching the paper they'd been reading, and Detective approached closer, gait still as nonchalant as ever.

Detective smiled. “What I've done? What might that be? Help the people? End countless villains?”

“Innocent lives,” Reporter snapped back. “They were innocents, and you know that damn well. It's all here. And I'm not letting you get away with any of it.”

His smile only widened, a sharp thing, malicious, painted hauntingly by the lamp's glow, as he leaned against the desk.

“Really? All the evidence? How.. fortunate.” Detective glanced down at the papers, before returning his gaze to Reporter. They could barely resist the urge to shudder, to flee, before they too found a knife in their back, a bullet in their chest.

Steeling their gaze, they nodded. “Everything I need to make sure you never hurt anyone again. Is that clear enough for you?”

Detective paused for a moment, a laugh filling the empty space, far too light, far too familiar for it to be that of a murderer. Detective of all people. He reached forwards, grabbing Reporter’s shoulder with a shockingly strong grip, pulling them forwards to the desk.

“Now, [Reporter], my dear friend, I have a story for you. A.. piece of information, if you will.” His voice was low, fringes of that friendliness Reporter had so long known creeping back with the words.

“A.. a story?” they asked, voice shaking. That same, awful smile, a face they almost knew, a grin they could almost see against the daylight, against everything they'd known.

Then his Voice hushed, his grasp loosening against their jacket.

“You're right.”

Metal pressed against their stomach, cold turning harsh, burning, as pain ripped through their senses and skin alike. Reporter screamed, the sound cut off as that same blinding agony cut through the air, their intestines, sending them stumbling back to the wall behind. They crumpled, crimson staining the bookshelves at their back, their clothes nearly masking the shade.

Detective stared at them, face still twisted with some strange, wretched joy. “It was lovely working with you, [Reporter]. You were always my favourite. I pray the others can solve your unfortunate demise.”

Then, hands steady, he raised the gun to Reporter’s gaze. And, smiling, he pulled the trigger.

#idk if this was what the prompt intended but this is where my brain went #you can see how getting dragged into the ace attorney fandom has affected me already #rest in potatoes reporter you shall be missed o7 #might write about these two pre-incident. idk.#this is NOT edited btw just as a warning #anyway enjoy if you want lol #heroes and villains #hero x villain #but more implied shipping than anything?#detective character? I guess? and a reporter too? idk what the tags on that bad boy would be #whump #whump writing #tw death #tw violence #tw murder
