LUNAR CHRONICLES BUT ON THEIR EQUIVALENT OF HOT ONES
Cinder does pretty well, excluding the creative string of swear words she comes up with. Finishes all ten wings.
Kai almost quits at 5. The only thing keeping him going is that Thorne quit at six and Kai knew that if he quit at 5 he would never hear the end of it. Gets to da bomb and then is like, Well I mine as well finish this.
Scarlet managed to finish all ten wings but is like beet red in the face. Has significant trouble answering questions
Fun fact, canines can't taste spice and neither can Wolf. Cleans his plate and drinks from da bomb bottle (cause Scarlet is watching) gives himself a stomach ache
Cress. Poor sweet cress. She ate all ten wings, crying, but she did it
Unlike Cress Thorne only got to 6. Talked some big game before hand. Will never live it down.
Winter just straight up doesn't mind the heat. Like this girl ate da bomb with a smile on her pretty little face. Bought a bottle to take with her
Jacin was stoic. So very very stoic. I mean he had the discipline to do it but he also answered in 1 to 3 word answers, also his ears turned red. Told everyone it wasn't that spicy.

I finally finished reading the fourth volume of svsss in full, and thing is--the first time through I only read the bingqiu content because I was ravenous for more of their happy ending.
Turns out that was a perilous mistake.
Because I started reading the airplane extras. And I swear to god. MXTX is trying to kill me
What do you MEAN demon lord Binghe was sitting on his big fucking throne. All stoic and forbidding. Surrounded by his demon generals who don't know shit about human courtship. Asking them what he should do, fully demoralized by constant rejections from sqq, only to have airplane tell him to act more pathetic and needy. Which is already hysterically funny and insane, UNTIL LBH'S RESPONSE IS THIS, KILLING ME INSTANTLY:
LUO BINGHE. WHY DOES HE SAY IT LIKE: "I already tried that, didn't work--nothing works :/ not mean, not maidenly, not housewife, not spicy, not capable disciple. Is doubling down on clingy really all it will take? What's a born hater with only one love in his life to do????"
The dichotomy of him sitting there like 'how can I reach the unfathomable depths of shizun's heart?' A HEART HE'S ALREADY WON OVER, MIND and then in the Holy Mausoleum solving the puzzle without blinking and being like 'oh yeah you just have to hit the acupoints, no sweat.' Literally the comedy writes itself I'm so--
How am I supposed to be normal about this. MXTX understands the juicy quintessential queer joy of a person with the world's power at their fingertips wishing only for love. Willing to do anything to earn that love, when unbeknownst to them it's already been freely given. Totally not screaming and yelling and clawing at the walls
And that's not even touching airplane's uproarious account of events. The way he's like 'lol what's next, lbh and sqq are best friends now? smfh' only to see lbh TACKLE SQQ LOVINGLY. FOR SQQ TO BE BASHFUL ABOUT IT BUT SO SO FOND OF THE LITTLE SCAMP. This when we've been experiencing sqq's constant inner monologue of 'I'm so cool and so dignified about my role, truly the epitome of propriety and poser-level fortitude.' Meanwhile, in their universe:
Airplane constantly flaming???? Sqq and lbh in his observations????? His absolute bewilderment and confusion????? Legendary. No notes every single second of this shit was hilarious.
Airplane's comment that sqq + older adolescent lbh traveling together was just watching a couple in their honeymoon phase. OR the fact that lbh is exceedingly petty and refuses to share their food in the wake of airplane's interruption of their time together, until sqq relents sheepishly and insists airplane eat what's left (ONLY AFTER PLACATING LBH WITH MORE FOOD FROM HIS PLATE, SOBBING)
Watching airplane salivate over Mobei-Jun and acting like that's totally normal behavior. Finding out mbj and airplane got together first. Finding out sqq encouraged airplane. LIKE THIS. WHILE HE IS STILL IN DENIAL ABOUT HIS OWN FEELINGS:
Mobei-jun clearly thinking their arrangement is a forever thing, heartbroken his human abandoned him with all the hapless fury of a scorned wife swept away by false promises of fidelity. Airplane writing demons to be the type to beat up their crush lovingly and still unable to connect the dots about mbj's feelings. Mbj letting him go and respecting his wishes, only relenting when there's indication airplane was poorly processing his own feelings and didn't actually want to leave. Mbj caring for him and listening to him as soon as airplane voices what he needs directly and with clarity. None of these gays are functional and it's everything to me
Unrelated, but I physically can't hold this information in anymore:
I'm still reeling from younger lbh having his sexual awakening from the image of sqq wrapped in the immortal binding cables. Condemn me as you like he was so, so real for that.
And no I will not be taking any comments about how luo bingge couldn't bear to see luo binghe cherished in ways he never got to have and all the haunting implications of that. I will also not be taking any comments about luo binghe's instinct to look for sqq in that alternate universe, only to be shaken to the very core to be unable to find his shizun anywhere. The unspeakable and latent horror of his relentless mind likely piecing together what happened, but unable to say it; to suspect what is true, and live with the harrowing confusion of his double's actions. To blame himself, to assume that he had let his anger get the better of him in that world and result in unspeakable folly...
I also refuse to talk about how heartrending it is to hear Tianlang-jun weakly say "In the end, I really can't bring myself to hate humans." The implication that the foolishness of that hope and bright-eyed fondness--the very thing that put him through such unspeakable agony--couldn't be beaten out of him entirely. To discover that his faith in Su Xiyan hadn't been misplaced, to the contrary: his beloved hadn't scorned him at all, but rather fought to the miserable end to protect the fruition of their genuine feelings of love when she couldn't protect tlj or herself.
How MXTX has sqq deliberately draw parallels between their situation and that of ygy+sj and tlj+sx; desperately wishing it might not be too late for them. The concept of breaking cycles of abuse and harm pervasive throughout the newly devised story, how it evolves for the better only when love takes the place of power, pride, and domination. How the moment sqq chooses vulnerability instead of saving face, the genre shifts to the so-called "cringe" girly genre where most if not every character is more fulfilled, more true to themselves. How the "male-oriented" former genre was aimlessly sensationalized and sexualized, how it was a sustained performance of aspirational toxic masculinity. How men objectify other men without end. All of the unspoken gendered implications that come with that.
Anyways. Going to go put my head in a sandbox and try to process everything I just witnessed because even a second reading is not enough to find a modicum of closure.

✖ Young Heartsteel Kayn ✖
✖ Word Count: 306 words
✖ Tags: One Sided Pinning, Reader is his roommate, Kayn is in his old band here.
✖ A/N: My hands were shaking and thought it was cute to imagine Kayn's nerves on stage for the first time.
----
He doesn't know, he can't really tell. Was his heart racing or is it an earthquake? The shaking was so bad. The way the guitar pick trembles in his hand as he tries to breathe. The rhythmic up and down of his guitar as he does his best to ground himself, fingers gripping ever tighter to the instrument which in turn just makes him shake harder.
He can't hear it. The crowd. Their screams. It was nothing when all he can hear is the consistent thumping of blood rushing through his veins. It was because of you. Or maybe it was the tinnitus from being on stage so near the speakers. Thoughts racing, hands shaking and now ears ringing? Things he loved about performing on stage only made more intense by the sight of you watching him.
He can't see it. Honestly. He can't see past you in the crowd. You standing right by the edge of the metal banisters. Your face so blindingly bright that his attention is on you and only you. Was it subconscious? Maybe. A whole hour long set. His first time on a stage...or maybe a platform. His eyes were trained on you and only you. He couldn't fucking look away.
He feels it. He can't understand. He can't hear. He can't see. But he can feel it. The way his nerves were lit aflame by your consistent support for him all this time. The way he honestly wasn't scared of performing until he saw you were watching. Why the hell was it any different, maybe he didn't expect to see you actually show up for him. Maybe it was the way you always sat in his room to listen to him practice. Maybe he was lying to himself when he said he doesn't feel a thing for you. Maybe? Maybe...

What's a great way to end your blog in a good note before you AFK out of the internet for 2 weeks?
NEW AU IDEA. YES. This is one is inspired by an omori au fic that was never updated and I got desperate for more content so I decided to do it MYSELF. But since my writing skills went poof, I figure might as well use my other skill to show it.
So BASICALLY, Sunny and his past self switched timeline places, and now we watch as the rest of the gang cope with this new information. *more info on Past!Sunny soon
I'm calling this au "back to the future au" or "bttf au" for tag convenience. (Please note that I've never watched back to the future and I know nothing about it but I just thought the name sound cool.)
