spindizzyI need you all to know that this is a 200 word drabble, and 4tw reckons that I've written 504 words while editing it. If you don't rewrite every single word twice, is it even really a drabble?
The Scum Vilain's Self-Saving System | Heartbreak never hurt anyone

drabble_zone prompt: Nobody gets hurt | "Look, it's a perfect plan," Shěn Qīngqiū said, with confidence he didn't deserve.
"Look, it's a perfect plan," Shěn Qīngqiū said, with confidence he didn't deserve. "Everyone gets what they want! Luò Bīnghé has his revenge, you stop having to remember your crimes against literature —"
"Hey!"
"— And I don't get turned into a human stick! Everyone's happy!"
Shàng Qīnghuá liked to think that Shěn Qīngqiū's look of steely commitment to a terrible plan was inherited from him. It probably hadn't been as aesthetic on his original body, sure, but it looked how he felt whenever he waded into the comments section. But that determination sounded like Shěn Qīngqiū actually believed what he was saying, which meant that he, Shàng Qīnghuá, downtrodden god of this world, was the only person in this partnership who'd ever paid attention to how people interacted with Shěn Qīngqiū. Not just the delicate way everyone was handling him now he was acting like a grieving widow, but everything else! From his disciples all visibly brightening around him, to whatever pining/denial thing Yuè Qīngyuán and Liǔ Qīnggē were doing!
A surge of warmth drove Shàng Qīnghuá to tenderly grip Shěn Qīngqiū's shoulders. He couldn't let this commitment go unappreciated!
"You should be proud, bro: you are single-handedly validating every comment you ever left about how stupid the villains are."
