Conjoined OG!SQQ and YQY Ghost
I haven't seen any posts about weird conjoined ghost Shen Jiu and Yue Qi so I am here to provide.
In PDIW, SQQ dies by swallowing Xuan Su's shards. As Xuan Su was tied to YQY's life force, I like to think this could end up with their resentments and obsessions merging into one weird (possibly Supreme?) ghost. Neither of them would have enough strength to form on their own, but given their combined regrets and relationships they could form a feedback loop that results in two ghosts forming.
Well, maybe one-and-a-half ghosts. My thought is that they are sort of a combined unit. I've been picturing them as two separate ghosts connected by red puppet strings (for the red string of fate and all). Neither of them are pretty ghosts at first.
SQQ is the puppeteer ghost. He's missing an eye and a tongue. He wears flowy robes that completely cover where his arms and legs would be. Does he have limbs? He can pick things up, but no one has ever seen his hands and he seems to glide rather than walk. The red strings disappear into his sleeves. He is not limited by gravity.
YQY is covered in arrows. Absolutely covered in them. When angry, they bristle up like he is a hedgehog and he can also shoot them out like porcupine quills. The red strings are around his limbs.
Both YQY and SQQ can move independently but often function as a unit since they are attached to each other. As mentioned above, SQQ is the puppeteer. This came about because of YQY's regrets and desire to help SQQ escape LBH. SQQ can maneuver YQY anyway he wants and, as SQQ lacks a tongue, he often talks through YQY's mouth until he learns to grow one. It's weird hearing the two of them conversing solely through YQY.
YQY can actually move SQQ too; it's like yanking on a rope and pulls SQQ in a certain direction. YQY just doesn't use that ability too much because he feels guilty later.
I'm not sure what this combined ghost would do after forming, or what they would be called. I imagine they're rather reclusive.
Please talk to me about this, I beg you.
