The illustrious Lian Qingliu from my fic, Feed the Beasts (or They'll Feed On You). Posted by request of a commenter. Please forgive me, I draw hella inconsistent (and occasionally forget a few details).

"Ok," I say to Luo Binghe. "I'm not saying you can never cook congee ok? I get that Shen Qingqiu likes it. But you can only cook it ONCE per fic alright?"

"Ex-fucking-scuse me??" Luo Binghe says. Rightfully so, who the hell am I to question him?

"Look if you keep this up people are going to start thinking it's all you can cook ok? And if you can only cook one thing you aren't actually a good cook are you?"

Luo Binghe huffs. "Fine, I get your point. I'll make noodles more often."

Liu Mingyan: *walks into Demon Court with a tween boy*

Luo Bingge: *squints* ... You've never been pregnant.

Liu Mingyan: Raised my brother from the dead, spell went wrong so he's little.

Luo Bingge: Ah. Ok. Uh... How?

Liu Mingyan: Blackmailed Sha Hualing into letting me into the Holy Mausoleum.

Liu Qingge: Hey! We should fight!

Liu Mingyan: *glares at Bingge so hard his hair nearly catches fire*

Luo Bingge: ...maybe when you're older.

Liu Qingge: Awww! Palace full of demons and none of them will fight me, it's boring here!

Luo Bingge: ...wait, blackmailed with what?

Liu Mingyan: Come on gege it's time for lunch.

So what's everyone think is up with the Little Palace Mistress' mom?

Is she just so unimportant she's never mentioned?

Is she a classic Dead Mom™?

Is she the victim of the Old Palace Master transferring his obsession with Xu Siyan onto the nearest available woman of similar appearance? The timeline is sure suspicious.

My own thoughts are below the read more, here there be mentions of abuse, coercion and other shitty behavior

I personally have always assumed the Old Palace Master was just the type of creepy old man who always has a student they're unusually close to and occasionally picks a new one when he loses interest in his current one.

I think whether anything happens between him and these students is more based on how they react to his attention and favor and that sometimes he's pushier than other times. (To be clear I think he's somewhere between a little and extremely coercive with all of them but that he won't completely force the issue because he wants to be able to say anything that happens was the student's decision.)

I think the age and sex of his targets are less important than their talent, he likes attaching himself to gifted students and leeching off them. Though I also think since Su Xiyan escaped him he's also had a physical type- and it's Su Xiyan look alikes.

The Littler Palace Mistress' mom was just the first one after Su Xiyan... So honestly she probably got it worse than most. He wasn't going to let her get away like Su Xiyan did.

I don't know if she died in childbirth or sometime after but I do think she's dead. I don't think the LPM would be so messed up if she wasn't an orphaned only child who's dad viewed her as an extension of himself but just as like a cool thing he owned so she needed to be Super Pretty but not like, able to function in normal society.

i really do like the extra detail MXTX added by having ling wen also be worshiped as the opposite sex and thus is more powerful when appearing as male.

qingxuan still has the tropey backstory of being raised as the opposite sex that you see in a lot east asian media(that honestly needs to have some essays that i'm not qualified to write dissect), but there's still a very clear contrast between the cis woman ling wen who only grits her teeth and turns into a male to appear to her misogynistic followers who couldn't imagine a woman being a civil god, and turns back into a female form at first opportunity,

and qingxuan, who flips between her forms on a dime and has to be yelled at by her older brother because 'i don't care which form you prefer, stay in your male form when you don't have a reason to change!' and is constantly attempting to find legitimate excuses to transform into a girl at any opportunity

This made me think about this panel from Calvin and Hobbes:

But unlike the adult in this strip, Calvin’s dad actually APOLOGIZED for yelling at him when he saw how guilty his kid was:

Shen Qingqiu: It's so weird that you're looking for a Shen Yuan of your own, especially since you've never been with a guy before

Luo Bingge: Yes I have? I've fucked my general plenty of times

Shen Qingqiu: WHAT?!

Shen Qingqiu, to Shang Qinghua: WHAT?!?!

Shang Qinghua: Oh yeah, I wrote an extra where Bing-ge and my king got down and dirty. I didn't post it obviously, my homophobic fans would riot

Shen Qingqiu: Are you telling me that there is a piece of PIDW THAT I DIDN'T READ?!

Shang Qinghua: THAT IS WHERE YOUR PRIORITIES ARE AT?!

I swear I can draw her being happy

Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...

and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.
