I Don't Want To Come Off As Even More Extreme But I Think A Bird Could Be A Mammal

i hunk about the parallels og Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe alot like

They both were so similar and it's a cycle I think og Luo Binghe could unknowingly continue if he's not careful (and with the 3k harem he isn't being careful)

Both of them were mistreated by the rich and wealthy (Qiu Jianluo wouldn't have been Sj's only problem, with Slave traders and general rich folks who don't like street rats)

Both of them found comfort in a young girl's innocence and blindness, someone who ignored the problem and ultimately made things worse with their attempts at comfort

Both of them found comfort in women as adults.

Both of them have a inherent hatred for men due to their pasts, although Luo Binghe had less of a issue with getting along with others.

both started in rags and made their way to the top

Neither of them ever got what they really wanted.

However, there is some key differences in how they are that also means they are fundamentally different

As stated above, both of them find comfort in women, in understandably different ways. For Binghe, he finds comfort in keeping them for himself, briefly filling a void he doesn't know exists. While Shen Jiu merely finds comfort in their presence for he could never own a person in such a way, nor look upon a woman with such intent. I think this is a result of the differences in their situations, Qiu Jianluo likely took pleasure in the act, Shen Qingqiu thinks he's doing what's necessary and out of jealousy.

Luo Binghe gets what he wants, Shen Qingqiu loses what he gets

Luo Binghe's rise to the top was due to bloodline, you can say he had exceptional talent, but he wouldn't have clawed his way to the top without his birthright. Shen Jiu had no birthright to claim, and had to claw with only his intelligence to aid him.( Not saying that Luo Binghe didn't struggle and claw as much as Shen Qingqiu, just saying it was the guy with the bloodline that is essentially a walking unkillable god among men that got everything he wanted in the end (except for what he truly desired))

next point, Shen Qingqiu was a broken man who's talent was never fully acknowledged by others (outside of his shizun, afterall why would they put him in control of they didn't recognise that?) while Luo Binghe was a broken man who had his talent and raw power recognised and praised. (Shen Qingqiu had a talent for cultivation, he managed to get to golden core despite having very very messed up meridians and learning late! All without buffs too. He's also incredibly intelligent, being the strategy guy and learning mannerisms fast through osmosis likely, considering his act is so good no one can tell he's a street rat, being that other peak lords who hailed from the rich families thought he was a spoiled young master)

Binghe's roots are actually pretty clear, his parents? Only two people could have been them and both are famous, not hard to find once his seal was broken. Shen Qingqiu will never have a family and never did, his roots are as murky as sink water we made potions with.

Shen Qingqiu had what he wanted at one point, Yue Qingyuan, but they lost everything due to their combined issues. Binghe on the other never did and never will have what he wants, his Shizun's recognition

another thing to add is that the cookies I've paired up also have similar poses!

-Golden cheese and Eternal Sugar are both facing the same direction, with their heads straight

-pure vanilla and mystic flour both have one arm up and angled upwards, to the point you can see their legs from under their clothes (Also both their eyes are closed, and are known to be closed most of the time)

-Dark cacao and Silent Salt both are holding a weapon with both hands

-shadow milk and White Lily are doing the EXACT SAME POSE. possibly because out of the beasts their stories have the most in common, with the whole corruption because of truth thing they have going on.

-burning spice and Hollyberry have one arm out and kinda arched towards their body

Hear me out: The beasts could have been ok, if only they didn't, perchance, have the wrong soul jams... Look I know they're meant to parallel their opposite (i.e Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla) but I can't help but notice how weirdly similar they are to other ancients. Like what do you mean Hollyberry and Burning Spice are both brawlers and Mystic Flour and Pure vanilla are both healers!!!! Perhaps, if they had switched soul jam, nothing would have gone wrong

I think if Shen Yuan was put into the same position as Shen Jiu (no reincarnation bs) he would turn out similar if not the same

Obsessed with Xie Lan as a character. Like I know everyone reads these books for the romance but the individual character concepts are hilarious.

Xie Lan is a prince. He eats poison on the reg. He’s forever stuck looking like he’s nineteen. He’s the oldest guy in the communication array. He knows kung fu. He dressed in drag to catch a ghost on two separate unrelated occasions. He’s the world greatest detective. He’s kind. He was forced into a trolley problem and chose to pull the lever. His cooking is awful to the point it could kill a god. He’s kind. He tried to give CPR to a ghost. He’s the unluckiest man alive. He’s been kicked out of heaven multiple times. He’s kind. He caught a kid from certain death and everyone was pissed at him forever about it. He regrets nothing but coming back to heaven.

pass the olive garden breadstick to your followers 

AM NOT

We also don't get Shang Qinghua's original name or just much info about him, not to mention I would have loved to have read some more monster descriptions like yeah there's the Skinner demon but what about that papapa pollen he recognises from chapter 167 with wife 93??? Please. Also give me more info about our mc! What was his family like? What did he do for a living???? Crying screaming throwing up. Also some backstory on some other background characters and stuff, like please,,,,,,

I thought that it's so aggravating that we don't have a little bit more info about worldbuilding in svsss or even names of all Cang Qiong Peaks. There are twelve of them! Wtf they do? I wanna know, give me a hint. Instead, we have a wine chapter. Ugh.

And then it hits me.

I am... like Peerless Cucumber

Damn

Yes it is.
