#perception of LBH the Perpetual Crybaby™️

[mxtxfanatic]

It’s actually kind of amazing that Luo Binghe’s fandom personality is The Crybaby, because just off the top of my head, I can really only remember three places where Luo Binghe cries in the entire book: at Maigu Ridge, when he thinks he’s hurt Shen Qingqiu irreparably (again) during their first time in the Bing-ge vs. Bing-mei extra, and in the flashback of Luo Binghe being “accepted” as Shen Qingqiu’s disciple, where the narration clearly states that was the last time Luo Binghe allowed himself to cry ever again. I think Shen Qingqiu may have cried more times in the novel than him, actually 😭

#svsss #i think the extras go a long way in this #but most of the time lbh is just described as ‘looking hurt’ or ‘being on the verge of tears’ #which immediately clears up when he gets what he wants cause he’s only doing it to tease sqq 😭 #perception of LBH the Perpetual Crybaby™️ #but for serious crying? he really doesn’t do that #lbh has always been one to keep his real pain to himself #sqq has to put in the work to counter those hurts before they become heart demons (again) #also has anyone read the deep dream extra lately? #cute as shit i love this couple! #anyways thinking of this because usually in fics #i can see a shift in the writing of characters at the time when a popular fanon took root #like there being a clear demarcation in mdzs fic when best bro/uncle!jc became popular #but for svsss fics: crybaby!lbh is there from the earliest fics I’ve read #what made us all just passively accept that? #are we all like sqq and just like (seemingly) pathetic men?
