- SQH will truly tell anyone anything he doesn't even need paid that information is *free*
- Binghe is WEIRD quiet in this explication scene at the end of 66, esp given he might not have previously realised he was fighting his own deadbeat dad
- 'One did not know if Luo Binghe was doing this on purpose.' THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED? Of course he--you know what kid you're on your own
- 'That’s right, Shen Qingqiu still considered himself to be straight! To read a stallion novel like Proud Immortal Demon Way was the very proof of his sexuality!'
Even the narrator is Tired
- when last we left this dream team, Binghe was like oh I'm sooooo tired lol can we stop at an inn?? &then insisted on 2 rooms instead of 3&when Liu Meatman moaned was like 'sorry aha did YOU bring any money? oh--oh is it--MY money? then GOSH--'
&turned on a dime to be like oh Shizun I'm SO sorry I only! have enough! for one bed!! &beautiful, perfect SQQ was like fine u 2 enjoy your bedroom, this one's mine. Binghe: ...aha that's not quite... my Vision, for this evening SQQ: no, I imagine it's not. night night.
- every time Binghe is an insufferable bitch, my love for him increases. so as you can imagine, it's now ocean-vast.
- SQQ: you have GOT to say sorry for laying siege to your uncles and aunts' houses and burning down half the mountain that was SO rude of you-- LBH: counterpoint: fuck my sect-uncles
- this couple's one bad day away from an enemy busting in while LBH is cooking, getting a morning star to the face&LBH being like 'but Shizun, the recipe called for mace?' SQQ: *trying not to laugh, not to make any kind of lip quirk* *failing* I--hate you-- LBH: oh don't say thaaat
- "Luo Binghe said, “Won’t Shizun know if he goes? Let’s go while Liu… Liu-shishu hasn’t returned.”
Before his words had fallen, Liu Qingge returned, kicking the door open with a bang. Though the door had been kicked over, Shen Qingqiu felt that this was the style and entrance method the normal Liu Qingge should have, so his expression did not change. Liu Qingge didn’t spare Luo Binghe a glance as he said to Shen Qingqiu, “Change of plans. We’re not returning to Cang Qiong Mountain today; we’re going to Zhao Hua Temple.”
Shen Qingqiu stood up. “Did something happen?”
Liu Qingge said severely, “Something happened. The news came midnight last night. Today, many sects are going to discuss at Zhao Hua Temple on the head cultivator’s invitation. Cang Qiong Mountain Sect is included. This city’s cultivator clan just got ready to set off.”"
charmless Jiang Cheng with less interesting backstory is occasionally--if not funny in himself, a source of comedy for others. he can come out of the bin bi-annually, for a little walk.
- 'Only after looking closer was Shen Qingqiu able to discover that both his lower legs were wooden prosthetics. With these, he would be able to stand and walk as normal.' a p fresh treatment of disability actually, it's not just GONE, adjusting for it's part of the magical world
- this is a GREAT use of dream-powers, well fucking done Binghe, you should indeed get a head pat
- it's very funny how OFFENDED SQQ gets if anyone suggests Binghe is not the most handsome man in the entire universe SQQ just wants Facts to be Recognised!!
- the conversation about why LBH's mom carried him to term when he was half demon that LBH just has to LISTEN to is--a lot? a lot.
- I LOVE that Wu Wang isn't particularly STRONG but is relentlessly reasonable--again we have a huge MXTX scene of reputation-shifting where what actually happened is immaterial in the face of perceptions; the second after the Jinlan City accusation of SQQ
- 'Stranger still was that their maidenly shyness seemed to be directed at Shen Qingqiu…..' ahahah
- Huge kudos to Binghe for being like fuck y'all, my mom was a washer woman.
- 'Luo Binghe tugged at his arm, as if seeking proof and validation: “Shizun, Tianlang-Jun is not my father. I don’t need a father.”' --this is such an Oedipal move to centre SQQ in that spot, tho honestly I think SQQ is still a mom replacement/love object primarily
MXTX dads are a weird accessory--like a sword tassel, but less important
