When Shen Yuan transmigrates in his definitely-not-favorite novel, he’s ecstatic. Sure, dying sucked, but he got a second chance! In a body that looked exactly like his, only healthy and with a perfectly good golden core, too!
He’s a rouge cultivator now, with a cool sword, enough money, long-ass hair and zero actual responsibilities!
So, all in all, Shen Yuan hit a jackpot. He travels, makes notes of monsters he sees and sometimes fights, collects rare herbs and flowers and feels just great.
He feels decidedly less great, when after defeating a Six Eyed Spider Viper in some nameless, remote village, he receives a bride as a payment. It shockes him into a stupor for long enough for the villagers to think he actually agreed, so as soon as he can talk again, he blurts out the first thing that comes to his mind:
“This one is already married!”
It doesn’t work as well as he hoped.
“So Nie Rong can be a second wife.” An auntie, possibly Nie Rong’s mother, waves her hand dismissively at him.
“No, no,” Shen Yuan scrambles. “This one wasn’t being clear enough. This one is not in position to take wives! He is- is, uh.”
“Master is a wife?” Nie Rong chrips, her cheeks reddened.
“Uh. Sure. Yeah.” Shen Yuan would like to leave the village immediately. A thrill of defeating a cool fucking monster wasn’t even worth the embarrassment!
“Master’s husband must be quite powerful to get such a cultivator as a wife.” One of the villagers says, eyes glinting with suspicion. “Who’s he?”
“This one’s husband is indeed very powerful.” Shen Yuan squeezes out of himself, taking a step back. “Very possessive, too.”
“How come he lets his husband travel so far?”
“Oh! It’s easy, really. This one’s husband’s harem is big enough to slip away for a week or two!”
An agitated murmur passes through the small crowd. Shen Yuan sighs, feeling the control of the situation slipping through his fingers.
“He doesn’t sound like a very good husband.” One of the aunties says. “Maybe you should divorce him and marry our Rong-er after all.”
“This one’s husband is not someone one just divorces.” Shen Yuan takes another step back. “Thanking everyone for kind words, but-"
“Oh.” Nie Rong says, eyes downcast. “It’s the Emperor, isn’t it? That’s why Daozhang can’t leave?”
“Yes!” Shen Yuan yelps before he can really think. “So you can see how the situation is difficult for this one.”
It’s a shit solution to a problem. Might be the worst, actually. But then again, Luo Binghe would never know and Shen Yuan gets a perfect excuse if something similar ever happens again.
And it does happen. Quite too often, if Shen Yuan is honest — shouldn’t all the girls belong to the protagonist anyway?!
So, Shen Yuan uses his perfect excuse: No, he cannot marry your pretty little daughter, he’s an Emperor Luo’s husband. And: No, fellow rouge cultivator, he will not share your bed, he’s spoken for!
Everything works without a hitch, until one day Shen Yuan walks into an inn where he’s been staying for last couple of days and comes face to face with the Emperor of Combined Realms, Lord Luo himself.
i think about the jodypillow nearly every day i’m so excited to see it when it’s done! you’re doing so much for the jonny enjoyers we are in your debt forever lol
as a fellow jonny enjoyer i have to support my community 🙂↕️🙂↕️
perfectly timed ask, how do we feel about hickeys… yes? no? doing too much?
I have a request please :)!! (also I love your writing hehe) How would Vergil be with someone who is very forward and open with their emotions/how they feel. Since we all know he's emotionally constipated and skirts around saying directly how he feels, what if he was with someone who is the COMPLETE opposite? Completely comfortable with being expressive and honest with themselves.
Also I hope you have a nice day :D!! Thank you!
hi hello!!! i did this in the form of HCs, (the wc in my google doc was close to 2k tho so erm... oupsi!) i hope thats okay! if not lmk and i can whip something else up for you!
warnings: mentions of sex at the end but nothing graphic, general tomfoolery and shenanigans, my dumbahh writing, you chase dante around with a slipper, hmm mentions of being hospitalized but nothing graphic again, overall fluff and attempts at humor, english isnt my first language (i forget to tag it sometimes mb chat)
Before you two got together, you did most of the flirting, you have to accept that fact, especially if it was right after he and Dante returned from the underworld. Don't expect him to warm up to you quickly though! It takes TIME to even get him to admit he Wants you™
So you're gonna have to be patient with him, in general
Like patience of a saint
Cause during the early stages of being with him, it’s as if you take one step forward and he takes one back
But he's trying, okay?
I feel like the more time you spent together, the easier it would be for him to be vulnerable with you, and get more out of his shell, especially if you've proven to him he can fully trust you
He would use poems to describe his feelings for you better!
Because, you know, it's easier to use someone else's words about things such as love, than come up with good descriptions of what you're feeling
One of his observations on the human experience being that feelings are weird, man
Once you two are well established though? This cornball is leaving you envelopes (sprayed with the perfume you got him as a gift) with neatly written poems he composed himself
Do not bring the up to him though, he will get flustered and grumpy about it (he secretly loves that you loved them) (so do bring them up)
He's THE slowburn-maxxer
It probably took him weeks, if not months, to even admit to himself that he had feelings for you
Meanwhile there you were, flirting with him every chance you had
Made him feel … odd
(he loved being shamelessly flirted with)
But if you keep it up at some point he would break, not in the coercion way, but more so in the ‘okay… I guess… I may or may not… reciprocate these… feelings of yours’
He's so grumbly but you find it cute
Because you've seen him cut down hordes of demons without breaking a sweat, but he gets so shy whenever you call him handsome
Compared to you, he spent a good chunk of his life under control or in the endless pursuit of power, so he's a master at bottling his feelings up and pretending they don't exist
If you did something that upset him, like throw yourself in front of someone to protect them from a devil, with no care about your own well being, he wouldn't know how to express the worry and fear he has of losing you, he'd probably either never let you leave his sight or drag you out to train you himself, that'd give him some peace of mind, just go along with it twin, he doesn't know how to properly speak of how sick with worry he felt when he saw you in the hospital bed after the doctors had called your emergency contact (him!) after the person you saved brought you there
He 100% had flashbacks to his childhood
All he could do as you lied there unconscious, was manage to hold your hand, too disheveled to even think about reading to calm down, all he kept repeating to himself was how you were safe now and how he would never allow this to happen ever again
When I tell yall he was spiralling, I MEAN it
Even Dante had gotten worried about him, never having witnessed his brother so all over the place, stress radiating off of him in waves
When you wake up, be ready for a two hour lecture on this. ‘How could you be so careless?’
You lowkey break down crying because why are you being mean to me right now 🙁
He is befuddled
‘I apologize… I am only worried about your well being’
Aweee grab him for a little kiss and reassure him you're going to be okay, it was just a stab wound, no biggie
Cue him lecturing you all over again about minimizing your injuries ‘you are a frail human, how can you say that???’
You try to adjust yourself to a sitting position, resulting with pain washing over you, so he helps you adjust instead, and you bring him in for a hug and another kiss
‘See, I'm alive, you're stuck with me, I promised you, and when have I ever broken a promise?’
He is actively holding back tears, mind you. Not the time for your jokes, but it does ease his worrying a little
You often tell him you love him, you can see he needs to hear this regularly, and you obviously don't mind repeating it to him until it gets through his thick skull of his
He doesn't say it back often, but you know from his actions that he does love you, too and that it's just all so foreign to him, but it's okay! You're patient and understanding!
If you do need to hear it more often too though, and you communicate that to him, he will try his absolute hardest to be better about this!
He's still adjusting to the fact that he has human emotions too (because he went so many years denying himself anything that was irrelevant to his goals to get more powerful) so it’s baby steps
When he sees you overly excited and expressing it with your body language its like he falls in love all over again
He once gifted you a necklace with his initial on it and seeing you parade it around on your neck like a proud peacock did Things™ to him
Like I need you guys to truly understand that he isn't as cold and emotionless as he portrays himself to be, this guy is a repressed nerd. He reads poetry for fucks sake!
If you ask him to recommend you some of his favorite books because you'd like to have more things to talk about with him, oh boy prepare yourself
He'd be so pleased with himself
One of my HCs is that doppelganger has a consciousness of his own, or to put it better is the parts of Vergil that he tries to supress/underplay manifested
Doppelganger suddenly appearing in front of you and trying to get you to (safely) cuddle him on the couch
Vergil gets jealous
You die laughing when you catch him pouting (or, Vergil's equivalent of it), ‘Vergil he is YOU, I love YOU???’
You get on his lap and kiss him all over the face to get him to stop pouting about it
He's grumbling, arms crossed and all, but don't you dare stop!
If Dante catches you doing this he will 100% tease you both about it, much to Vergil's dismay
He isn't one for PDA, but he loves how you never hesitate to hold his hand when you're out together
Unrelated but one time he finds you sobbing in front of the tTV you have in your room, controller balanced on your thigh, head in your hands
He rushes to your side, concerned someone harmed you, he obviously questions you about it
When you tell him you're crying because the main character of the game you were playing through died he gets whiplash
Like what. Why are you hyperventilating and crying so hard he's sure you're close to dehydration from ??? a fictional character's death???? Foolishness. (he doesnt say that out loud, not wanting to hurt your feelings further)
He manages to calm you down enough for you to explain The Lore™, only for you to start crying again because that was your baby why did they have to die 🙁
He understands better but is still kind of confused
You tell him how you've been by this characters side for so many hours now, protecting them, having so much fun playing as them, getting to know them and all, so its heartwrenching
So he thinks it's something akin to when a character from one of the novels he has read dies, but this is more personal somehow because they have a face and all
After you've calmed down again you joke about how ‘never in all your years of life have you seen someone this distraught over a video game character dying, huh?’
You're kinda proud of yourself for being the first person that ever got to bamboozle him like this
He doesn't judge you about it though
Make him play this game, DO IT.
(Side tangent but another one of my HCs is that if he got into gaming he would be a fucking sweat, 100% trophies on every game he's played, played at the hardest difficulties offered)
One other time, he was just done with his night routine, so he went to your shared room where you had been in for a few hours by now
He found you folded in on yourself on the bed, wheezing, honestly almost cry-laughing
??? ‘what is it now, my love’
You show him the tiktok that had sent you into orbit, quite frankly, which okay, even he could admit it was funny, but THIS funny?? Man, he thought you were dying????
In general I feel like he has learned to recognize that you expressing your emotions is a form of power in itself, because you never hesitated to put people into place when they wronged you
Like the time Dante had hid in order to jumpscare you, making you scream loud enough to make Vergil rush into the room, yamato in hand, ready to take care of the threat
Only to find you chasing his twin around, a slipper in hand to whack him with it (repeatedly) for scaring you like this
He admits he found that very amusing
(he may, or may not, have gotten a boner for seeing you defend yourself against his brother like this)
(but shhh you didn't hear that from me)
He also appreciated when you were vocal about things in bed, for example if he did something you didn't enjoy during sex
Like ‘thanks for the feedback!’ *proceeds to fuck your brains out in the way you DO! like)
When he has a bad week mentally, he especially appreciates how you ask if he needs some space/alone time or if he needs reassurance
He wouldn't outright say that he needs reassurance though, so you better get to it if he tells you he wouldn't mind your company
Make him lay his head on your lap and play with his hair and he swears he is cured
Let’s play a game,, how many concepts can Glitch shove into one design??? [Prowl]
Cyber + Medieval + Bot + Human = ✨sparkles✨
Just think about it! What are the complications of a human race of Cybertronians? What if the All Spark was capable of producing organics but only to a certain extent, leaving the rest of their bodies functionally robotic??
I can just imagine some crazy slip up on the battle field where Soundwave gets pinned down by the new ‘court’ trying to help Sir D16 [this nickname still makes me laugh] and someone with a built in gun like Shockwave could just like ‘unsheathe’ his blaster by warping the metal mechanisms in his forearm 👀
Artistic rendition of,, that 😂:
WAIT! NOW IM THINKING! How do you fly when you don’t have wings?? *looks guiltily at seekers*,,,
ROBOTIC MYTHICAL CREATURES! The All Spark wouldn’t stop with just human organics right?? And with that I proudly present,, 🎵🎺✨ an elite force of cybernetic griffin riding knights! *Chaotic laughter*
[My one brain cell was debating whether or not I should go full human here, but then it thought, mmmm, what if cybernetic human though?? And the rest of me agreed 😌]
So in the tv universe Thalia has a British accent but Jason was still abandoned to camp Jupiter as a two year old so he will have a California accent.
So do we think Beryl moved to California before or after having Jason? Maybe after Zeus left her after Thalia she went to Hollywood trying to get his attention again and that’s when Jupiter showed up. But for Thalia to have a British accent she would’ve had to grow up in the UK til middle school at least because that’s the age when our accents solidify and they form based on the people we spend time around at that age.
