Chapter 109 might just be my last straw. I can't do this anymore.
Just Binghe
PLEASE ???
SOMEONE GIVE FRANCE SOMETHING
I have many thoughts about SVSSS. Are they coherent? No, but here’s another one. I’m been thinking a lot about Shen Yuan’s feelings toward Binghe lately. Specifically, his progression of feelings towards falling in love with him romantically. In the context of SVSSS series siblings, MZDS and TGCF, and also outside of it. And, I just have to ask, when tf did it happen?
I’m going to speak briefly on some spoilers here so beware if you haven’t completed the series.
Obviously I don’t think there was a definable moment in MZDS and TGCF where it showed who fell in love at what exact point except for Hua Cheng, maybe. Especially because Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian could be unreliable narrators. But Shen Yuan, imo, was the worst of them. Which caused me grief on several occasions, bless. But this also affected how the audience could see the progression of Shen Yuan’s romantic feelings bc he wanted to stick his head so deep in the sand about it. Clearly, the audience could tell that by the time Binghe was thrown in the abyss that Shen Yuan loved him, yes. Even though Shen Yuan was in denial about how hard he was grieving him, MXTX clearly let the audience have context on how the lie detector determined that was a lie. However, we never get much context on when that love for Binghe turned romantic.
Reminder, this is my opinion based off of reading SVSSS once and given myself a month or two to digest it. I personally believe from the time they reunited after the abyss and then onwards, Shen Yuan never had the chance to formulate a romantic connection with Binghe with all the misunderstandings, denial, near death, and actual deadly experiences in the way. Okay, yes, feelings never wait for the right context or situations BUT let’s ignore that for now.
I could argue right here and now it wasn’t until after the end of the “story” that Shen Yuan allowed his romantic feelings for Binghe to flourish. That he could sort through his feelings and actually engage with Binghe in a romantic context (which is an Herculean task in itself). He never had the time or space for it before with everything that was going tf on.

Thinking of an Idea where Qing Jing peak and An Ding Peak disciples share talks about their Shizuns and theirs demon lovers.
All started in a conference with both head disciples:
Yue Qingyuan' disciple: "And about the new documentations of demon realm..."
Ming fan whispering to himself: oh this again?
An Ding head disciple: At this point I know more of demons than humans.
MF: ...
HD: ...
*Friendship acquired*
*Bonding over late workout hours and the underappreaciation they get from their Shizuns due to their demon husbands*
Guessing most other disciples start talking about their Shizuns and all the drama they have.
"Hey, can you um... barricade the wall of the bamboo house?"
"Again?!"
"They are doing it again! And it's too obvious it's hurting our ears! They aren't even being quiet about it!"
Suddenly another An Ding disciples goes like "Well that's probably not going to be their first time. Don't you remember when—"
"Shidi no."
They might bond over demon behavior.
"Okay so, don't fret but demons can tend to be a little possessive."
The Qing Jing peak disciple crying "Is that why I was hit with a vase? I didn't know bringing food to Shizun was going to cause Shixiong to hit me !"
*An Ding disciple suddenly having flashbacks to the time he brought a comb as a birthday gift and was almost annihilated for no reason.* "They can be possessive."
It would have been fun to get to know how Binghe's Shidis would have all thought about this. Like watching their Shizun blossom from a kindhearted disciple to a demon lord!?! An Ding explain!
Meanwhile An Ding's youngest disciples are having a field day with their demon dad who decided to start dropping off more as of lately.
Imagine they also talk to other peaks about this.
Yang Yixuan: Pst, any tips on how to defeat demons?
Ming Fan: yes!
Liu Mingyang: Pst, any tips on how to defeat demons (in bed)?
An Ding peak disciple: Buckle up cuz this going to be long.
Eventually An Ding and Qing Jing sometimes get into husbando fights. Mostly between younger disciples who don't know any better.
"Shixiong is a much better husband! He cleans, he Cooks, he sometimes even wants to help us practice our swordsmanship! That's a lot of generosity from Shixiong!"
"Bullshit! Shizhang is much more careful about our Shizun! He brings a lot of gifts, takes us to the winter palace to learn, go to night hunts with us and we can play with his hair!"
Meanwhile the older disciples know that both demon lords are doing this to gain points with their husbands, it's no suprise. So instead of meddling with the demon lord and have their faces carved to be the next enemies, they decide to just respect the husbands as they are.
Also the whole guilt with some Shixiongs having bullied the husbands in the past. Qing Jing peak fears to its knees as it remembers the many times they bullied Luo Binghe and if the demon now do much as looks at them they are instantly trying to find the nearest Shizun or Ning Shijie. And Ding peak disciples just have some awkward moments where they tried to stop Mobei Jun from getting inside An Ding Peak beacuse they thought he was finally going to kill their Shizun. The Lead Disciple doesn't really care and just let it happen because she had too much work to do.
Female disciples having sleepovers and thinking how cool it would be to have their own demon husbands.
Ning Shijie is sighing at the back, wondering how Liu Mingyang got in too.
Can't help but think over how some shidis and shimeis would try to help Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu on their relationship.
"Shizun does have some work overtime but I can fill it in for the date if you wish Luo shixiong." And they just go off to hand it to an An Ding peak disciple who is already overworked because "Shizun has been awake for three nights straight no you cannot ask why."
Every An Ding peak disciple is just already so used to the cold weather and other demons that at this point they call An Ding disciples whenever they have to deal with demons in the north. Though they still call the disciples as cowards and weakest of any peak they are, in fact, one of the smartest and strongest, most resistant to different weathers but usually don't show it because their occupations mostly rely on being cooped up in the peak or running errands for other peaks.
An Ding peak eventually gains a bit of respect after hearing the wedding of their Shizun.
Some younger An Ding disciple: wait, they weren't married?
Head disciple trying to keep face because she told them of it: it's their second wedding, they love each other do much you know.
Bonus of the An Ding disciples helping Mobei Jun make noodles while the head disciple takes care of Shang Qinghua and she is just with the most disappointed face after hearing the whole story of Mobei Jun's ascension and their get toguether.
OH
Another bonus of An Ding peak disciples and the demon generals or advisors of the mobei clan being friends because of their shared panic experience when SQH decided to bail out of nowhere.
Ohhhhhh
OHHHHH
