i guess im an svsss (and phan???) blog now lmao sorry to all my kinnporsche homies i am not liable for any of the weird shit (skinhe…) that comes across your dash
luo binghe’s vat of vinegar (aka, a semi-exhaustive list of all the things lbh has gotten jealous over)
Crossdressing age gap older bottom who wants to be dubconned because he's too thin faced to admit he has sexual needs younger top who's obsessed with him
Shen yuan who's always had a weak body and looked up to big buff men with lots of muscle and has a whole complex about how he's not enough of a man because he's so thin and one day when it's been a little too long since he went to the barber so he gets hit on by a guy who thinks he's a girl. the guy tells shen yuan he's really cute and shen yuan blushes because he's never really received male validation before so he buys a wig and some women's clothes and wears it in public and he's so flustered by the crazy amount of men who ask him out.
There's big strong gym bros telling they've always wanted a pretty delicate girlfriend like him and when he admits he's a little sickly they just croon about how theyd love to protect and take care of a girl like shen yuan and for the first time in his life shen yuan is getting positive attention for his insecurities so he starts crossdressing more and more often until he runs into Luo binghe aka the kid he used to tutor who's all grown up now.
Shen yuan is terrified of being recognized because binghe was always a bright child but binghe just smiles and asks him to coffee. shen yuan tries to say no but he can't think of a good enough excuse to leave (no woman would turn down someone as perfect as binghe) so he hesitantly ends up agreeing to go on a date with binghe and they have a lovely time and binghe kisses shen yuan goodbye at his door and shen yuan is so shocked and starts feeling guilty that he made poor binghe kiss a man and abruptly says goodnight and slams the door closed. Binghe goes home to his wall full of secretly taken pictures of shen yuan and stares at it for 30 minutes like a normal person
Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.
Them as disciples is so funny to me I’m convinced lqg had a crush on yqy because yqys the only one who can beat him in a fight. And if there’s one thing lqg respects its skill and power. Also them as the sword and his wielder metaphor and whatnot. Meanwhile Shen Jiu is there making the most disgusted appalled stink face from the audience

Grace and Rocky, giving a tour of the Hail Mary to fascinated Eridian scientists and diplomats.
Pointing at things and explaining what they are and how the ship works, lots of awed and appreciative noises are made.
Until one of the visiting Eridians points out a specific item. “And that?”
It’s a strange, circular thing, a xenonite disk mounted upright on some sort of pivot so it can spin freely, but around the edges it has… spokes? Pegs? Sticking out of it, that hit against a stiff flap that would slow down the spinning.
It is also separated into sections decorated with crude etchings of a human and an Eridian.
“Ah,” Grace says.
“That,” Rocky says.
“That’s. Um.” Grace seems somewhat embarrassed. “That’s the sacrifice wheel.”
The Eridian visitors clearly do not know what to make of that. “We think we misunderstood Savior Grace’s word,” they say, apparently hoping this is a vocabulary mix-up. “Explain (question, polite)?”
“Didn’t misunderstand,” says Rocky, sounding very sheepish. “That is sacrifice wheel.”
“So. While we were on our way to Erid, we might have gotten… anxious about each other’s well-being,” Grace says, which everyone is already very aware is a wild understatement. “And, well, you heard what happened at Tau Ceti, and after. There were a lot of unexpected dangers for the whole trip that required a lot of, at least, attempted self-sacrifice to solve. We ended up almost dying for each other several times. And we had an argument about what we’d do if another crisis like that came up. And we couldn't agree.”
“Grace argued that Grace already was unlikely to survive long-term on Erid, so he should be the one to do any potential deadly but necessary maneuvers to make sure I was able to bring taumoeba back,” Rocky says.
“Which made sense.”
“Did not make sense! Grace already sacrificed so much for me and for Erid, wouldn’t be fair to make you do it again—“ Rocky cuts himself off with a huff. They have obviously had this conversation before. “So sacrifice wheel was compromise.”
“Yeah,” Grace says. He spins it to demonstrate; it whirls around in a blur and a rattle of the flap hitting the pegs, then eventually slows down, and stops—pointing at the segment depicting a very bad but very clear image of an Eridian. “Rocky made the wheel, I spin the wheel, and whoever it lands on, that’s who gets to sacrifice themself to save the other and the other person does not get to argue. This way, we wouldn’t waste time debating who does the self-sacrifice and who survives, it’s just a plain fifty-fifty chance. Or, eighteen-eighteen chance in base six. But the point is it could be either of us and we would have to accept the outcome.”
Rocky started fidgeting while Grace was explaining. When Grace finishes, proud of the equitable solution they came up with to allow them to die for each other fairly, Rocky says, “Now that we are back and we don’t need sacrifice wheel anymore… I have confession to make. About the wheel.”
“What about the wheel?”
Rocky doesn’t answer. Grace frowns, first confused, then suspicious, and spins the wheel again.
It lands on Rocky again.
He spins the wheel again, and again, and again, and it lands on Rocky every single time.
“Rocky!”
“I weighted the wheel,” Rocky admits.
“Rocky the whole point was that it was equal, that was why we even made it—“
“Never was necessary so doesn’t matter anymore!”
“But you WOULD have!”
“And you never noticed because you were hungry and cranky and distracted and so would have done bad job on heroic self-sacrifice anyway!”
“I would not! I would have done fine!”
(The Eridian scientists and diplomats are still here watching this btw. Slowly dawning on them that 1) these two are extremely not normal about each other 2) if Erid ever does another space mission they NEED to send a therapist aboard because this is what happens when they don’t)
