Fan Book, sqq flavored
My first full bind of 2026! I saw a fan book structure in a new-to-me book on bookbinding I got for Christmas and immediately thought it needed to be a fic about sqq. I'm really happy with how it turned out!
The fic is chapter 13 from x_los's SVSSS Miscellany, Original Bads: Reverse Transmigration, in which Shen Jiu comes to the real world. (Shen Jiu does not actually use a fan in this fic.)
A fun prospect for Superhero-themed SV AU's that I don't often see is genre dissonance. Like, Luo Binghe as this edgy 90's style antihero who just straight up kills his enemies and sleeps around and is driven by selfish motives (revenge, ambition, etc) rather than altruistic morality, vs Shen Qingqiu as this kid-friendly supervillain who is "evil" mostly in terms of aesthetics and his ability to make inconvenient problems that are reasonably safe for child heroes to solve. Something like Punisher vs Team Rocket in terms of vibes.
Maybe the reason they meet is because some big publishing house akin to Marvel or DC just bought up the rights to whole bunch of older, discontinued comics titles, and decided to do a Justice League/Avengers style mash-up with a bunch of nostalgia properties and their most recognizable heroes and villains. Which means lots of crossovers condensing several titles into a handful of series.
Luo Binghe's origin always features him as a teenager, so he reboots as the youngest Avenger-equivalent team member in the new continuity. Even in this reboot, however, the writers still mostly go the gritty and dark route with his plots and stick to the same key developments -- his abandonment as an infant, his adoptive mother's tragic death, his tough life on the streets, abusive mentors and backstabbing "allies", and so on.
But Luo Binghe's life suddenly starts experiencing periods of dramatic change in his life when he's brought in for appearances in the lighter, friendlier world of the Junior Heroes continuity. After all, he's a natural choice for tying the two continuities together thanks to his youthfulness. Luo Binghe isn't consciously aware of the fact that he's moving between different titles and different writers. All he knows is that sometimes, when he hangs out with the bright and talented Ning Yingying, he's drawn into "conflicts" with Shen Qingqiu -- the kind of "villain" who will call for tea breaks, never actually hits anyone when he shoots his ray gun, leaves clues for all of his crimes, and can't seem to stop from imparting genuinely helpful advice in between his witty quips and taunts.
When Luo Binghe fights Shen Qingqiu, somehow he never actually gets hurt. Neither do any of his friends. The world in general seems brighter and lighter, as if there is some secret barrier protecting everyone from all the evils Binghe knows only too well exist in the rest of his life. Luo Binghe is increasingly convinced that Shen Qingqiu is the source of this mystical safety net. After all, for an allegedly powerful genius who is able to fool half the world about his wicked aims, he's never won a single fight against a kindhearted but somewhat ditzy teenager and her ragtag bunch of friends!
So what's he spending his actual energy on?
Luo Binghe is pretty sure it's keeping the real evils at bay. Making himself the biggest bad in town, and in doing that, making it so that the "biggest bad" is nothing worse than a slightly judgmental teacher in a pretty costume.
It's not long before Luo Binghe doesn't want to go back to the Justice League equivalent, to his world of misery and strife, even after his visits with Ning Yingying are supposed to be over. Especially as the global stakes of various heroic activities start getting higher, and it becomes clear that the boundary between Shen Qingqiu's safe world and the grimdark reality of Binghe's usual life are getting thinner...
#comic writer: we'll have a scene of the huan hua prison where shen qingqiu's locked up just for a quick cameo #luo binghe the actual character who has seen people brutally dismembered in that exact prison: I am exiting the plot to rescue shizun #luo binghe: don't try and find me #comic writer: ...wtf? (@sunderwight)
I love everything here, and now I need to ask: Is Shen Qingqiu a transmigrator, or–and hear me out here–is he this publishing company's very own Gwenpool? Except instead of looking at his comic book life as if it was a first-person shooter game, he sees it as a fun rpg. He is still scared of the grim consequences of living in the grittier titles of the franchise, so he decides to stay in the Junior Heroes titles. But since he is an adult, the only available roles are lovable villain or cameo mentor figure from a more serious story.
He would still be a die-hard Binghe fan, and would make sure to make a 'villainous appearance' every time his favorite vigilante is around with Ning Yingying's team.
Now, for how he got captured... the doylian explanation is the writer going 'hehe cameo' as it was explored in OP's tags... but the watsonian explanation could be that he knows too much. He knows everybody's secret identities, their motivations, what they think, and how they think. He has seen both the heroes' and villains' darkest moments, their doubts and weaknesses, and all the stuff that he would know from being an avid reader of their comics.
So maybe he slipped and mentioned something he was not supposed to know, and that put him in the radar of someone from the more serious titles...
I love the idea of SQQ as the 4th wall breaker type!
Actually I think Shen QIngqiu's onto something, as that kind of character would be really fun as a kid's antagonist. He's just constantly making asides to the reader about enrichment and education, calling timeouts and sometimes lamenting about things like how hard it is to get good takeaway to his underwater lair or etc. Like a combination Megamind and Doofenshmirtz.
I think it would make the most sense if he accidentally got on the radar of the Huan Hua Palace Master. HHPM fits into Luo Binghe's grittier rogue's gallery quite well, what with his connection to Binghe's angsty backstory and his genuinely nefarious tendencies. I'm thinking that maybe Comic SQQ maintains his genre-savvy knowledge simply because he actually buys and reads comics within the story universe. Due to a quirk of canon (in-jokes) all the original runs of every IP the publishing house recently acquired actually exist in-universe as comic books, it's just that most of the heroes and villains are written to automatically overlook them, unless some kid asks for an autograph as a punchline.
Which means SQQ's omnipotence is limited, because he only knows the original runs. But it still seems like way too much information for him to have at the same time. He lets the wrong thing slip during one of his asides to the reader, HHPM overhears, and then bang! Water prison!
Ning Yingying is also upset about this. Shen Qingqiu is her baddie of the week, and she never even sends him to regular jail! He's too delicate for that! Just because he acts out sometimes does not actually make him all that bad!
Meanwhile Shen Qingqiu is absolutely freaking out about this crossover. He does not want to be in the adult comics. He's read them! He knows what happens to bad guys in them! Also he doesn't want to act like the bad guys in them either, he doesn't want to actually commit child abuse, or get rebranded as some kind of pervert, or a cannibal, or serial assaulter, or whatever other edgelord thing the writers think will really push him over the edge and justify letting antihero Luo Binghe rip him apart!
Lol he would be exactly as petrified as he is in canon when Luo Binghe suddenly shows up at his water prison cell. Please Binghe whatever you've heard, SQQ didn't do it! He's a G-rated villain! G-rated!!!
LBH: Teacher, I am here for you! SQQ (thinking): wait, I'm in an R-rated setting! I can swear for real! SQQ: oh SONOFA-
...does this mean current!SQQ is the cracky gwenpoolesque reboot version of the originally Not Funny sqq from the first run? so SQQ /actively/ has that to compare himself against and he just keeps going Oh Fuck No (except he can't say fuck out loud, or in a thought bubble, bc he's g-rated)
also does this mean NYY is also A Protagonist as in she also has the in-universe halo? like the Harmless Vibes are actually due to /her/ being around and the universe is contractually obligated to be g-rated around NYY
and LBH (who was def not originally from kids' media) makes the reasonable assumption that actually it's the Harmless Villain who is responsible for the Harmlessness of being in this version of reality. bc said villain is a massive nerd who exposits about essay-writing and neat science facts (especially animal facts) in between "evil plots"
such as "mua ha ha I'm going to replace all the vending machine food with VEGETABLES" or "nyeh heh heh I've made a giant city-destroying robot that can only be defeated with the power of MATH SKILLS" or even "ha ha HA you shall never defeat my JELLO CREATURES- wait, what, what do you mean they melt in the sun- oh, sugar-"
and yes, he's absolutely ridiculous. an entire ham. a diva, if you will. he's also showing levels of in-universe knowledge that would /absolutely/ make him very much a real threat, in any less kiddie-safe setting. dude pulls time travel (for history lessons) and shrinking tech (journey into the cell) and gravity manipulation (let's learn about the planets) and all he does with it is... *gestures at the Plot of the Week* poetry lessons!
and LBH is supposed to believe that he's actually harmless? no. no. clearly SQQ is deliberately and consciously choosing to be as egregiously non-threatening and deliberately Not Dangerous as possible, to the point that his plans never even mildly endanger civilians! annoy yes, inconvenience sure, but hurt? never. this concerningly competent so-called "villain" is one of the genuinely kindest, sweetest, most unscary people in all of LBH's experienced reality.
...and they live in comics-land, where 'how gay can this get' is decided entirely by the writers and the current S&P they're working within.
LBH: him NYY: hm? LBH: ...him. NYY: hmm? LBH: him <3 NYY: hm!!!
...and then, of course, Gritty 90s Antihero (New, More Fun Edition) Luo Binghe does what characters do and makes his own decision.
cue SQQ desperately trying to game the system with his genre awareness, while consistently fucking up everything directly related to LBH bc he's basing his knowledge off of /original/ Luo Binghe, who... is very much not who he's dealing with here. oops.
I'm just imagining someone like Red Hood dealing with someone like Dr. Doofenshmirtz. And them having tea together while SQQ explains one form of research or another.
Also, SQQ is always complaining about the stupid names of the creations the original goods had. Like:
"Why was everything he built named something-something-inator? Does the hack author even know what 'inator' implies for all that priceless technology?? Because Airplane obviously ripped off The Terminator for it and now all the original goods' creations are implied to be destructive. They are not!! And don't get me started on how he names mystical animals! Manbats? Really??"
And he just narrates about small things like that and complaining about some of the relationships that the characters got in being extremely unhealthy and only being barely held together by papapa.
He creates a lesson makes a trap for the teen heroes which teaches them about healthy relationships, and especially the romantic ones.

Hey Tumblr what's this about
Why might you be flagging posts about this particular topic? Answer me, Tumblr
My only gripe about Jacinthe is her face is Ash Ketchum and I cant unsee it
Can we please have a volume control that means its only the volume for the sparkling noise?
The ZA SFX channel is feet and the distortion noises and its hurting my head really bad
Me: *agonizing over whether a semicolon goes here, what the proper dialogue should be there, other assorted rules and semantics*
Terry Pratchett: "!" said the stranger.
THAT'S ALLOWED?
Writing is for communication. Sir Terry knew very well that anything's allowed if it helps you communicate something effectively.
Btw if people keep telling you to stretch but never told you how to actually do it right you're supposed to go slower than you think & just hold it until you feel the muscle relax. Like how anal works
Also the muscle that goes up to your temples and gives you headaches is the same as the one that clenches your jaw & it goes down the sides of your neck so stretching your neck helps with headaches and jaw tension. You can also massage it with a vibrator
Stretching as far as possible immediately is not the goal you just bend until it feels tight. It's not supposed to Hurt You Worse. It won't hurt if you're doing it right. Much like another activity
Many are saying "we're on the celibacy website these people don't know how anal works either" I know. That's my secret second lesson
if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?
If I were writing about firefighters I'd also, in addition to just reading about them, take advantage of Our Blessed Internet to ask actual firefighters about how shit works. I'd do the same for a minority I'm not a part of.
I remember when there was this LiveJournal community where you could just ask about anything you needed for your novel - medicine, professions, vehicles, how things function in country X - and people who knew something about that would answer.
We need to bring this back.
And apparently just this summer they DID bring it back - it's called Little Details and it's on Dreamwidth!!!!
Remember, a world where everyone stays in their own boxes and only writes about their own narrow demographic is straight up a goal for racists. If you ever find yourself attempting anti-racism so hard you've looped back to "functionally the same thing racists want", stop, take stock, and ask yourself where things went wrong.
Paying 5 yuan for hot gossip
English added by me :)
I love the integrity of paying her more he did not expect the motherlode but he was NOT about to lose it
yall NEED to know the currency conversion means he's handing her 69 cents (USD) at a time
Reminder, if you ever pay someone for a commission on Paypal (NSFW OR NOT) you SHUT THE FUCK UP in any text box it gives you.
(No this does not mean try to be a snarky comedian and say it was "bomb materials" or "fuck u" or whatever. Don't play with people's livelihoods, just shut the fuck up and don't type anything at all, it's not that hard.)
Just a perfectly normal life hack video, no need to specifically tag @were--ralph for any particular reason
the extra has given us a lot to mull over but I'm still hung up on Binghe's top 250 movie marathon
So insects are neat and shit
But fuck you termites
Why couldnt you just hang out in trees not in a wall that got water damage because the builder was a dick who didnt finish the roof properly because you cant see it from the outside
absolutely galaxy brain take (positive)
