that trope abt the child of a distant parent who gets told 'you're just like your father/mother' when they were trying not to be like them, In this essay
thinking abt that yoshiden art where yoshida was pulling denji's eyepatch down while giving him a kiss
oh yes before i forget happy pride shang chao loved yang cheng and yang cheng was falling in love with shang chao , he just couldn't figure out his feelings towards shang chao throughout the esoul arc. in this essay,
41AC shang chao wears an eyepatch , he was offered a prosthetic but denied it.
dresses much more professional now since he's out of university and works within the industry. his hair is styled more now , cropped just a little shorter , but not too short.
goes out of base a lot , likes overseeing projects personally.
yang cheng's dark circles / eyebags are much more pronounced now. since he's decked out head - to - toe in gear , including his helmet and only really goes out for missions and required public appearances , he's ghostly.
hair grew out a bit since the e-souls battle. trims it every once in a while but never a full cut.
41AC xia qing got her hair cut into a chic bob once she got her first professional job out of graduation , lives by a "do not let opportunities pass by" motto.
grew into her looks , and is much more reserved in how she converses with people. wears pale gold jewelry , and kept her green signature.
have ghost nice staring at lin ling, how are you gonna celebrate your birthday when you know nice will never have one again … and that you've stolen his life …
lin ling's birthday bash ─── @pexfections
there are some realities that he had to learn to really accept. some were truths that he accepted easily , some ... well , lin ling had to learn to live with for as long as he lived on this floor. that reality came in the form of an apparition , wandering around the floor in a pale shroud , occasionally sending a chill down the nape of his neck. nice's presence was not wholly unwelcome , however , lin ling truly didn't want to spend a day watching his back , even if the ghost couldn't directly harm him.
he didn't mind too much about having to spend his birthday alone , he wasn't truly one that hungered for the fanfare ── it's how he finds himself busying his hands with making something instead , leftover ingredients and some he was able to move from his old livingspace , enough to make himself a sweet treat. ( really , it was more about the discomfort with sitting idly with nothing to do , as a creative , he itched to make something , build something ).
on this particular day , the chill had become unbearable enough that goosebumps had started to race down the skin of his arms as he worked around the kitchen.
so , it was better to address the prevalent issue now.
" oh , stop moping and get over here , " lin ling cranes his neck to address him , rolling his eyes. " i'm stuck here too , you don't have a monopoly on being miserable. "
random wishlist stuff i've been thinking about lately
midnight heists in gala settings!!!
4d chess amongst the puppeteers, agency ceos (i took up shang chao because of a fic LOOL and him taking up a role of being scheming had he lived is just fitting, if you think about who he's up against and who his family is)
more horror elements a la lin ling, nice and yang cheng
xia qing has to get looped into the affairs of heroes again - had lived adjacently to it + reunion and confrontation with yc
lin ling having to meet treeman top brass, and other people in the industry when he was still pretending to be nice therefore having to cover his own ass around the heroes who were involved with the ruins incident LMAOOO
as lin ling grows older , the more he truly covets the simpler things. that included really spending his birthday relaxing on his couch with a good film on screen and takeout boxes covering every corner of the coffee table. a few messages from acquaintances from college or his coworkers greeting him. it was one of the few joys he had treasured when his work didn't swamp him with deadlines and projects that nervous interns could not complete.
of course , it was his own version of cookie - cutter luxury. that is , until he was thrown head first into the hero world with no preparation , with no room for leniency. the messages from his former coworkers don't come as frequently anymore - well , lin ling couldn't blame them , cheng yaojin was a tyrant when it came to high - profile clients and projects. camera appearances , clearing up brewing disagreements , having to change up a routine that he grew comfortable with... and of course , navigating the sudden change with the very man he had been forced to represent in his place.
he's in the venue's kitchens a little ways from the lobby when he hears footsteps and a familiar voice. the greeting started out cheerful , a smile plastered on his face as lin ling watches him warily , a nervous smile of his own tugging at his lips. he's trying to discreetly steal some muffins from the tower's kitchens to sneak up to his floor later ... how did nice know to find him here ?! " thank you , ...nice. " he responds as kindly as he could muster , and then yet not missing the sudden shift in his tone , sharp and hostile.
" oh sorry , what was that ? " he plays along instead , shoveling another one of the muffins into his grocery tote. " the wind sure is strong today. "
fashion was another realm that required attention to truly sell glitz and glamour. gala events , mixers , media appearance -- he's sure he's seen it all until he's ushered into a room filled with the clamour of people , some examining riders for the day and others hauling coat racks of fabric across the room , his ears bombarded with words such as chiffon , silk , velvet. the extent of shang chao's knowledge on tailoring came from one of yang cheng's few tangents , when he was willing to share a morsel of his time with him -- talking about fabrics , sewing and embroidery techniques with an urgency that he has heard the other only ever take on a tone with was when it came to engineering... or e-soul. nonetheless , that was different from... this.
" is this really necessary ? " he wants to complain , but he doesn't want to sound ungrateful either. nice had always been fashionable , dressed in a way that none could look away when he walked into the room , all flowing white and shimmering metallic. " i really don't wish to intrude into your already packed day. "
there's going to be a charity gala for the evening , and the suit he's ordered hasn't arrived yet -- sure , he could wear any other one , what with the money he has at his disposal. but shang chao was involved with the project's conception and now , its culmination. a laid back attitude and sloppy appearance was unbecoming , he knows as much. and well ... he couldn't turn to his father for assistance , didn't want to burden anybody at the university. so , a quick text message concluded to this.
the next person that had hesitantly knocked on his office was a nervous intern wet behind her ears , muttering a relayed message and a set time. another priority shang chao had to add on to his already cramped schedule , the coloured blocks taking up so much space in screen of his tablet , he could hardly make out the white space anymore.
of course , it was the kind of job he had worked tirelessly for , had endured long sleepless nights with xia qing and yang cheng by his side , often accompanied by energy drinks and too-sweet milk tea from the place that the latter worked part - time at for majority of his time in university.
well , shang chao couldn't complain anymore , had nobody to complain to , had to maintain ' a sense of decorum ' lest the delicate tower of cards he had built would topple.
he's spinning the stylus between his fingers mindlessly as he stares blankly at a proposal , looking up only when he notices a shroud of white enter the room.
well , one person to complain to , now.
" please , tell me you've come as a friend and not on behalf of my father , " he holds his hand up , palm facing the newcomer in a half - hearted call for surrender. " i need to get out of here. "
