Beast peak Shen Yuan.
Still have a lot of work to do with the kitties and also the rest of his outfit but I couldn't help myself and rendered out his face.
shen yuan being animal obsessed to the point he starts trying to take everything remotely friendly home with him so one day returns with the xianxia equivalent of a scraggly possom that hisses at everyone it sees and that is definitely poisonous while still insisting its a little baby that needs a home
airplane never really expanded on the common creature worldbuilding in pidw like pigeons and cats and rabbits and raccoons, so shen yuan started filling in the blanks himself and oh boy did he fill it wrong. he pets a fox-like creature the size of a cow with horns and hooves like it's a horse not knowing that would be like trying to pet a grizzly bear. he coos over the owl-cats that live under overhangs and in dusty attics and really really wants one until liu qingge has to drag him away because they're some of the most awful aggressive pests you can have that swoop down on people and claw their faces open when they're mildly displeased.
one time he walked onto his peak with a six-legged spotted weasel in his sleeve bc it's so cute he just couldn't leave it!! not knowing said weasel is known as one of the most vicious predators because they tear through the calf muscles to cripple prey ten times their size and then eat them alive
however, because shen yuan has the disney princess subclass with a +7 proficiency in animal handling, it never goes wrong. he pets the fox-stag without an issue and it even allows him to climb onto its back. the owl-cats love him and happily play with his robes and fetch things for him. the six legged weasel lazes around the bamboo house all day and loves to be pet. the scaggly possom hisses at and hates everyone except shen yuan.
every other animal had to leave, except the possom. that is a fight they did not win. yue qingyuan only has so much strength and those teary eyes are lethal
Thats how I imagine how Shen Yuan met Luo Binghe in @biinaberry's Doomed Polycule AU
And I couldn't resist Cryptid Yuen. Since biinaberry wrote that SJ is still abusive towards his disciples, I thought that LBH after hearing about a Monster of The Beast Peak could get the idea that if he defeats The Beast, he would gain Shen Qingqiu's approval. Maybe If he bested the monster, and SQQ already calls him "beast" he could get to be the only one on the mountain called that. Replaceme the current one and be accepted or something.
Cue 14 years old LBH thinking he is off to duel the mighty beast:
breaks into his shishu's (under house arrest) home
immediately stumbles over some garbage SY has strewn on the floor
15 metal pipes falling ASMR
gets the jumpscare of his life
after SY calms him down, he is invited for a tea
"apparentely his shishu is also his uncle/second father????"
IMAGE TEXT:
“I hate beast peak.
Beast peak aus are fine but when the beast peak gets randomly referenced in fanfiction, I get annoyed.
Cultivators wouldn’t keep demonic beasts on their mountains, at least. They would probably keep spiritual beasts and regular beasts on the agricultural peak because objectively it would make farming easier. Qing Jing would probably be heading stuff like field research.
‘Beast peak’ just feels way too on the nose and convenient for just a background mention.”

I haven't posted much on here about my writing, but I am making fics still! Currently i have a long threadfic going on Twitter (where I'm more active), which is being archived on AO3!
The Swift Fall of a Sharp Blade
It's a canon-AU of if Shen Yuan was transmigrated into a baby NPC character instead of Shen Qingqiu. He still ends up joining Cang Qiong sect and is deeply embroiled in the preplot, trying to change things for the better. Features a lot of my own headcanons and worldbuilding!
"You look so much like your parents..."
Pt. 2 Some time after THAT dramatic meeting. Shen Yuan maybe will start wearing proper robes after that
Based on @biinaberry's Doomed Polycule AU
Berry don't think I didn't see that:
"So called brothers. Someone's gone... "
Get their asses Xue Lian
Took a while. I am bringing you @biinaberry's Doomed Polycule AU like I am an aporting dog.
