svsss but whenever shen qingqiu or shang qinghua talk to the system, to other characters it sounds at best like theyre speaking a ridiculously old dialect and at worst like some kind of mystical ancient language not intended for human ears
Disciples and peak lords watching Shen Qingqiu hiss in his Divine Tongue, looking around for what has inexplicably changed in his favor, wondering what arcane knowledge he has gained from beyond the ether: “whatever he has awoken as after his qi deviation… it is something unknowable.”
Meanwhile, SQQ: Bitch give me my b-points i fucking rocked your shit
System, having lost the “online” chess game: (T ^ T)
Mu Qingfang reading a post apocalyptic far future book series published by Shang Qinghua about a foreign nation called “America”’s health care system, and he gets so mad it kills him, and he transmigrates into RFK. Scum system self saving villain.
I kind of want to see how badly YQY and SQQ could fuck up their own reconciliation but still ultimately reconcile.
Currently my idea is that they have a drunken and/or hormones assisted tryst and SQQ gets pregnant.
YQY atticwifes him and forces him to keep the baby without actually explaining that you know, he actually loves SQQ and would never willingly abandon him so SQQ thinks the whole time that YQY only wants the baby not him.
The actual reconciliation comes after the traumatic birth because YQY was also not taking SQQ to prenatal appointments, so both SQQ and newly arrived SY try to die dramatically as is the Shen way.
But once they stop doing that and YQY actually explains his whole fucking deal SQQ is feeling much better - except that he hates the baby and can't look at or touch him without wanting to off himself.
YQY: Cool cool cool, there is definitely nothing anyone could have done to prevent this!
So SY gets a nanny and only really sees SQQ on special occasions and never for long, which is how he's like nine when he finally figures out his distant mom is The Scum Villain!!!
And YQY is doting but also distant because if he spends too much time with SY SQQ gets jealous.
So SY has all the material possession he could possibly want but is desperately lonely and thinks neither of his parents love him. He's worked out Something Happened around the time he was born and has determined all the lingering hurt feelings and trauma must all be his fault somehow.
And SQQ gets to feel like a failure and a bad mom and YQY gets to know he's a failure and that he could have spared his husband and son a lot of pain if he'd just opened his mouth earlier...
And yet when little baby SY asks him if SQQ hates him he's just like, "of course not honey" and pats his head.
YQY tells himself it's just because SY is too little but SY asks again and again as he gets older and YQY can't bring himself to explain...
"Will you at least tell me why you both hate me?" Shen Yuan asks him in their tent at the Immortal Alliance Conference. "I've asked him. He just glares at me."
"We don't hate you Yuan'er, we love you."
His son just sighs, "You don't have to keep lying to me, I'm not six anymore." And leaves.
The confrontation at the edge of the Abyss is extra messy and both YQY and SQQ are there. Really Luo Binghe turning out to be part demon is the least emotionally devastating thing that happens.
Both SQQ and YQY qi deviate when Luo Binghe wraps his arms around their son and pulls him into the Abyss with him.
When Shen Yuan is ready he comes back to the mountain.
It's years since he and Binghe clawed their way out of the Abyss. Binghe's demon emperor, they had a second grand wedding recently. (The first one, the real one, happened in the Abyss. They'd bowed to no one and drank each other's blood to seal the deal.)
He goes to Qing Jing Peak and finds Shen Qingqiu sequestered in the Bamboo House (he rarely leaves, YQY is the only one who can get him out).
He demands to know why Shen Qingqiu hates him, what he did to earn the man's ire, why he could never ever gain the slightest bit of affection from him.
Shen Qingqiu laughs and laughs and eventually pulls out a box. He starts pulling out every drawing Shen Yuan ever gave him, every essay he wrote as a disciple, every lumpy little sculpture made of pond clay...and he talks.
He tells Shen Yuan that he never wanted to have him. That Yue Qingyuan forced him to carry Shen Yuan to term. That he spent the whole pregnancy thinking Yue Qingyuan hated him and that anxiety caused them both serious health issues. He tells Shen Yuan he couldn't look at him when he was born without throwing up, holding him was out of the question.
He tells Shen Yuan that he loves him so much it makes him want to die. He tells Shen Yuan that he's sick and selfish and cruel and that it was the best thing he could do for Shen Yuan, ignore him. He hurts everything he loves after all. The both of them do, him and Yue Qingyuan. They don't know how to love without causing hurt. Shen Qingqiu hurt Shen Yuan even by ignoring him, but it would have been worse if he hadn't, he's sure of it.
Shen Yuan doesn't have time to come up with a response for that before Yue Qingyuan arrives and knocks him out.
He wakes up in Shen Qingqiu's bed and listens to his parents argue through the door. He's never heard his parents argue before. Shen Qingqiu is saying they have to let him go, they can't force him to stay... And his father is arguing they absolutely can. Luo Binghe can't get him on the mountain, they can wait out Shen Yuan's stubbornness over the demon. There's plants that dull memories that can help Shen Yuan get over it...They can try again and get it right this time.
"We should have given him to Wei Qingwei and Mu Qingfang when they asked." Shen Qingqiu says. "We never should have kept him."
Yue Qingyuan points out neither of them had wanted to do that.
"We should have anyway," Shen Qingqiu says. "We were too broken to love him like we should and we're too selfish to do what's right for him."
Yue Qingyuan asks if that means Shen Qingqiu agrees they should keep Shen Yuan here for his own good.
Shen Qingqiu says yes.
Yue Qingyuan tells him he has to go, he's been away from his peak for too long. Shen Qingqiu just needs to keep Shen Yuan here when he wakes up, Yue Qingyuan will be back soon and he'll handle things from there.
He leaves.
There's a bunch of noise from the main room, it sounds like Shen Qingqiu is wrecking the place and Shen Yuan is too shocked to pretend to sleep when Shen Qingqiu rips the door open.
They stare at each other for a long time.
They leave the Bamboo House through the bedroom window, Shen Qingqiu leads him deep into the bamboo forest following barely there tracks. They have to scale down a small cliff at one point... But eventually they reach the bottom of the peak.
Shen Qingqiu hugs Shen Yuan so tight he can't breathe, so tight he knows there'll be bruises on his arms later. Then he presses Xiu Ya into Shen Yuan's hands and tells him to go, now and never come back.
Shen Yuan goes.
Binghe has been worried sick and Shen Yuan lets Binghe fuss over him. He has a lot to think about.
"Binghe," he says eventually, looking down at the sword he still has. "I think we need to get my mom a divorce."
Soulmate au with Wangxian, but you'll get turned into your soulmates favorite animal! If your soulmate doesn't have one, either they can just turn into their favorite person!
Or the worst part is what animal or person they fear the most, if they don't have that either! So imagine how chaotic it would be if WWX turns into a bunny the first time they met. Or whenever they meet not until they accept themselves as soulmates or cut their bond as soulmates.
(ideas keep coming to me, and I haven't written a single fic or my own story yet again.)
Bunny WWX is cute, yes, but you are missing the VERY LIKELY and GLORIOUS possibility of Donkey LWJ. (Donkji?)
Good luck moving him anywhere he doesn’t want to go. He tries to talk and out comes the most horrendous “heee-AWWW” ever heard in cloud recesses, scares himself, and refuses to even attempt to make noise for the remainder of his donkeyness. Bunxian running circles around his hooves and he is SO UPSET he can’t pick him up and pet him. Someone tries to separate them bc he’s “annoyed” and he nearly bites them.
Lipping his guqin strings like that horse that plays the harp on tiktok
WWX figures out how to get on his back and is very pleased with himself.
“You know my name. You know if more faithfully than some followers know the shape of the name of their gods.” The cosplayer’s lips turned up in a strange smile at that statement.

1/3 commission pieces I had the honor to draw for @nachttour and their fic This body, too small a chamber on ao3! (I hope tumblr can appreciate the eye candy without flagging me ahhh🙈) (( I'm sure Shen Yuan can 😏))
okay so I've been working on the svsss miraculous au with some moots and I have obviously been having a lot of thoughts about it.
anyways. here's a post with me talking at length about it more. ill try not to be too redundant so make sure to check out the other posts too! :>
Lady Beetle, aka Shen Yuan
holder of the ladybug/beetle miraculous
his kwamii is Xi Tong, aka The System, who I have a design for here
he's chronically ill and spent a lot of time in hospitals growing up
he has a veryyy transactional relationship w xi tong. in order for his kwamii to help his health and boosts his abilities it expects him to do certain tasks.
he has the power of creation. I'm not sure on his weapon yet but I don't think its the yoyo lol.
I think the transactional nature of his dynamic w xi tong would also extend to his use of lucky charms
obsessed w the adaptation of PIDW and luo binghe
friends(?) w sqh as airplane and cucumber online after harassing him online over writing PIDW
based a lot of his self as lady beetle after his older brother
there's only one earring for the lb miraculous btw
Crimson Cat, aka Luo Binghe
holder of the black cat miraculous
his kwamii is meng mo lol, tell me it doesn't fit
sentimonster created by sqh
hes an actor! his first role was PIDW
he became an actor to help pay for his sick adopted mothers medical bills
his power is destruction!
I think he should be able to tear a hole in the very fabric of reality, as a treat.
using his powers takes a toll on his mental state
his weapon is a bow staff
mobei jun takes the role of the gorilla here. they are friends but mbj Cannot be Normal and is like. very protective of binghe
Lacewing, aka Shen Jiu
holder of the butterfly miraculous
his kwamii is xiu ya
sentimonster created by sqh
adopted by the shen household, takes his role as sy's older brother very seriously.
also an actor, has worked w lbh before. they do not have a good relationship.
his weapon/magical object is his fan. sorry I know in canon the peacock has the fan. but sj needs it.
he's fashionable asf
he wants the miraculouses to help with sy's health :(
Ocellus, aka Shang Qinghua
holder of the peacock miraculous
kwamii is uhhhh uhhhhh
I spent so long trying to come up with a name that combined airplanes and peacocks. this man was almost named cockpit.
I chose the name ocellus! that's another word for eyespots which are markings on animals that mimic the look of an eye. they are found on peacocks feathers, butterflies, and cats ;)
symbolism is symbolisming
he created luo binghe and shen jiu as sentimonsters through is writing.
his weapon/magical object is a pen
villain??? lb and cc do not know
mbj is trying to date him so hard
he had the ladybug and black cat miraculous (for completely normal reasons im sure) and is the one who chose their current holders :)
SO UMM YEA.
big thanks to @batdog102 @jam13333 and @carlosateaworm for talking abt the au so much with me! they came up with all the good stuff here. and thanks to the anon who came up with the idea in the first place!
also the au tag I'm going w now is "lbcc au" so you can search that on my blog for all the content about it!
I don’t want to hijack this beautiful idea but… did Shang Qinghua start all this as a way to get inspo for his new work? Sleep deprived, going back to write with his already made characters (lbh/sqq) as practice, his kwamii goes “bet” and delivers the miraculous’s, and next thing you know the whole city is a playground for miraculous powered superheroes! Delivering story inspiration?!
Don’t hit him, Shen Yuan! He knows this is his fault, but not really! He didn’t mean to!
Wei Wuxian: I birthed you! Show a little filial respect!
Lan Sizhui: Didn’t you claim it was a c-section last time you used that on me?
Wei Wuxian: Oh yeah! *points at his abdomen where the scar from the core removal used to be on his old body* It was right here! Your auntie spent hours cutting you out of me.
Lan Sizhui: This is possibly the darkest joke you’ve ever made, A-Die.
Jiang Cheng: *flipping between turning green and purple with rage* I hate both of you. Lan Sizhui, you are his son, and I’m banning you both from Lotus Pier.
The Shen Yuan who took his little sister to and from belly dancing classes, and practiced with her just to supervise her (he, having fun with that? ... he will never admit it out loud) and who happens to hum some of those melodies, now transmigrated into the Shen Qingqiu who for some mission must take a temporary female form and introduce as a dancer at a event to catch the attention of a weird and bloodthirsty demon (with the obvious company and embarrassing supervision of his shidi Liu Qingge and some of his trustworthy disciples).
Yes, Shen Qingqiu is against that at first… But the other option was to use Ning Yingying! He will absolutely not put that little girl in potential danger! And of course Qi Qingqi would never wear one of those embarrassing outfits, and Qi Qingqi's choice of disciples was still to send young girls to potential risk.
Okay, at least Shen Qingqiu knows how to dance.
(And he dances very well, to the absolute internal chaos of the white lotus Luo Binghe, and the near qi deviation of Liu Qingge. Where the hell did Shen Qingqiu learn to dance like that!? That's what he did in brothels, dance classes!?)
DND character who accidentally becomes a paladin at their wedding bc they meant their wedding vows a little too hard and invents the Oath of Love subclass. Is this anything
My mom and sister don’t know what I’m writing about, nor do they know what on earth MDZS is, but they sure do know really random facts about my worldbuilding research
Side note, the Juniors can totally do that, right? Right. Glad we’re in agreement.
