I made a little ficlet about their dynamic in SY's POV under the cut ~ âš (nobody dies, everyone is well adjusted. Sort of. Binghe is a good kid)
People in Cang Qiong Mountain Sect brace themselves at the sound of our footsteps. Itâs honestly rude. We havenât even done anythingâyet.
I say âweâ because itâs always we.
Me and my brother, my ge, Shen Qingqiu.
Yes. That Shen Qingqiu. Peak Lord of Qing Jing, Lord of the pretty robes and prettier sneering, Professional bitch face with a tongue sharp enough to slice egos in half.
And me? Shen Yuan. Wandering cultivator, sometimes Hall Master ? (on Tuesdays), beast enthusiast (on Thursdays), and the reason why gege remembers to hydrate.
Weâre what you callâŠa package deal. And for some inexplicable reason, despite years of training, cultivation, etiquette lectures, and embroidered sleevesâwe are still street rats in spirit.
Graceful ones.
Deadly ones.
But street rats, nonetheless.
---
âShizun, Shen Yuan-xiansheng is here againâŠâ
âI know,â Qing Jing Peakâs head disciple says, his voice trembling slightly, âI felt a disturbance in the air.â
Thatâs me, by the way. The disturbance. But in Jiu-geâs speak it means: âmy favorite person in the worldâ. I arrived this morning with a bag full of his favorite sweets as an offering.
Anyway, the moment I step foot on Qing Jing Peak, a flock of junior disciples gather like hungry pigeons. Asking if I got anything for them. I did, and distributed the goods evenly. The little ones thanked me with a smile.
âWhy do you do this,â comes a smooth, dry voice from above me, and there he is. My twin. My brother. My trauma-bonded enabler.
Shen Qingqiu, in all his immaculate, smugly-suffering glory, descending like an immortal crane who secretly wants to murder every single member of his own sect.
Aaand...the disciples scattered.
âYouâre distracting them,â he informed me with graceful a flick of his fan, covering the lower half of his face. âSurely you aren't that incompetent to send word of your arrival ahead of time.â
âI missed you,â I say, and itâs not even a lie.
He gives me a long-suffering look, as if he isnât ten seconds away from inviting me into the bamboo house for tea.
He huffed and turned, walking up the path to the bamboo house. He didn't need to tell me to follow.
We are both, you see, dramatic little bastards.
---
Hereâs the thing about surviving childhood as orphans on the streets: you learn fast. How to lie. How to cheat. How to get back in ways that donât always draw blood but do leave very long-lasting emotional scars.
Shen Jiuâsorry, Shen Qingqiuâleaned into elegance and severity like it could hold his soul together. I leaned into chaos and charm. But under the silk and the sect titles and our frankly excessive skincare routines, we are still those same boys who used to steal buns and bite anyone who looked at us funny.
It just hurts less when you're dressed in a small fortuneâs worth of layered brocade.
Let me be clear: We may not always start fights.
But we finish them.
---
The Luo Binghe Incidentâą happens on a Wednesday.
Of course.
Because thatâs the day Iâm technically not employed.
âYour disciple is a littleâŠâ I make a vague wiggly motion with my fingers. âMurder-curious.â
âHeâs fine,â Qingqiu says, brushing imaginary dust off his sleeve.
âQingqiu.â
âHeâs a Qing Jing disciple,â he replies, with the tone of a parent whose child just broke a priceless vase and insists it was an experiment in gravity. âCuriosity is encouraged.â
âHe asked me if there are any repercussions in pushing Ming Fan off the side of the mountain.â
âBoys will be boys.â
âHeâs surveying the highest drop in the peak as we speak.â
My brother pauses.
ââŠI will have a talk with him.â
âThis is your fault,â I point out, sipping my osmanthus wine. âYou told him emotional repression is what good cultivators do.â
âIt is,â he insists.
Our gazes meet. A pause.
We both burst out laughing.
Itâs loud, obnoxious, and utterly improper for cultivators of our stature. A group of sect elders walk by and quickly divert their gaze, pretending they do not see the Shen twins losing their minds over emotionally-repressed murder disciples.
---
They say Cang Qiong is a place of discipline and refinement, a sanctuary of spiritual pursuit.
It is also a place where Shen Qingqiu once roasted another Peak Lordâs fashion sense so ruthlessly in open court that the man left cultivation altogether and became a monk because he insulted my intelligence.
And where I, Shen Yuan, once accidentally seduced the entire visiting delegation from Huan Hua Palace for fun and then accidentally stole some of their stuff because they questioned my brother's honor.
Not because Iâm petty.
But because trauma.
(And because I am petty.)
We donât talk about feelings much, my brother and I. But we show up. We support each otherâs schemes. We hold each otherâs grudges like gold. He once broke into a noble householdâs vault as a kid just because some lordling kicked me down. I once challenged an arrogant cultivator to a duel for laughing at his birth name.
(âShen Jiuâ is off-limits. Only I can call him that, and only when Iâm feeling extremely clingy. Which is often.)
We are...unwell. But we are immaculate.
My brother walks with the poise of a man who has survived too much and now only tolerates beauty, discipline, and me. He drinks tea like itâs an art form. He punishes enemies by bankrupting their families and then sending them condolence letters on fancy paper.
Me? I flirt. I dance. I scheme. I gossip. But when gege lifts his fan and I draw my swordâwe are terrifying.
But I promise, we are also kind. Qi-ge can vouch for us!
We just haveâŠa very intense way of showing it.
what if shen twins but they're more gremlin coded (they're each other's enabler)

SJ : let's see if they cry in public. I want their shame to pass down at least three generations.
SY : done. god, i love it when we collaborate.

This tag is giving me brain worms.


What if Shen Yuan gets a petty princess boyfriend because the universe (I) said so.
-wrote a little ficlet about them under the cut âš-
Shen Yuan's (very confused) POV:
You know, there are days you wake up and think, âWow, life is weird.â And then there are days you wake up and there's a beautiful, irritated, probably-came-from-a-period-drama man sitting on your couch like he owns the place, glaring at your toaster like it personally offended his ancestors.
Yeah. Iâm talking about that kind of day.
It started, as these things always do, with a thunderclap, some suspiciously glittery mist, and the next thing I knew, there was a very angry, very elegant man standing in the middle of my studio apartment. He looked around my humble little man-caveâokay, fine, it was a bit of a pig sty. I wasn't expecting visitorsâand sneered so hard I thought his face would stay that way forever.
âThis is your abode?â he asked, with the same tone I use when I accidentally step in dog poop.
âUh,â I said intelligibly. âYesâŠ?â
He hissed. Hissed. Like a very angry, very pretty feral cat. It was alarming. And a little hot? No, stop that, Shen Yuan. Bad. No petting the murder kitty.
So. A quick summary: the stranger introduced himselfâbegrudginglyâas Shen Jiu.
A handsome stranger.
And he was in my house.
Living in my apartment.
Breathing my air.
Criticizing my instant ramen choices like he wasnât literally eating all of them.
âYou eat like a beggar,â he said yesterday, sipping tea he made himself after complaining my kettle was âbarbaricâ. âThis isn't sustenance. It's punishment.â
Okay. One: accurate. Two: rude.
But we fell into a rhythm after a few weeks, somehow. Like a weird little odd-couple sitcom. Every morning, Iâd wake up to Shen Jiu curled in a pile of throw blankets on my futon, looking like a disgruntled Persian cat. He hated the TV but would still watch it with a kind of horrified fascination. He especially hated anime. That was⊠a problem.
The turning point came when he caught me watching some over the top shonen anime and heard me make a passing comment about the protagonistâs abs.
âYou like that?â he asked, voice tight. âYou like him?â
âWhat? No, Iââ I laughed, awkward. âItâs just animeââ
He made a sound like someone dropped a piano on his pride and turned off the laptop with a single disdainful poke of a button.
âYouâre not allowed to look at other men,â he said, eyes narrowed.
ââŠWhat?â
âYou heard me,â he said, as if that explained anything and then settled on my lap.
Then he stole my glasses.
He literally plucked them off my face like a bully on the schoolyard and perched them on his own perfectly arched nose.
I stared. Squinted, really. âIâm legally blind.â
âGood,â he snapped. âThen you canât ogle those fake men anymore. Who draws them like that anyway? Itâs obscene.â
âJiu-ge,â I said gently. âUm⊠Can I have my glasses back please?â
âFor what? To look at other men? I donât think so.â
Neverâand I mean neverâhas anyone been so furiously jealous of fictional anime boys that they physically robbed me of my glasses. It was almost impressive.
And I let him keep them.
Why? Because the alternative was him going back into Feral Modeâą where he hisses and threatens to set my bookshelf on fire with qi that I still donât believe exists in this universe.
Besides⊠I didnât mind the glasses thing so much when he was situated on my lap like I was his personal throne.
âYouâre warm,â he said, nonchalant, like this was normal. Like he didn't came from a completely different reality.
âCool,â I wheezed, not cool at all.
âYouâre flustered,â he added, smug.
I was. But I wasnât going to give him the satisfaction of admitting it. Instead, I tried to focus on the dead screen of my laptop, even if everything was blurry.
So now Iâm trapped in a never-ending loop of being lowkey bullied by a man with cheekbones sharp enough to commit murder, who eats all my ramen, hoards my glasses, gets jealous of anime characters, and has absolutely no concept of personal space.
And you know what the worst part is?
I think I might like it.
Please send help.
âŠOr not.

One of the things that tickles me about SJ and SY fics is that well, sometimes they're brothers, sometimes they're parent and kid, etc, but the overall vibe is usually consistent like:
Older Bro Shen Jiu: this is my idiot didi, if any of you fuckers corrupt him I will bite out your throats.
Younger Bro Shen Jiu: this my idiot gege, if any of you fuckers corrupt him I will bite out your throats.
Father Shen Jiu: this is my idiot son, if any of you fuckers corrupt him I will bite out your throats.
Son Shen Jiu: this is my idiot father, if any of you fuckers corrupt him I will bite out your throats.
Shizun Shen Jiu: this is my idiot head disciple, if any of you fuckers corrupt him I will bite out your throats.
Boyfriend Shen Jiu: this is some idiot I've never met before in my life, if any of you fuckers corrupt him I will bite out your throats.
Every Shen Yuan Regardless: please stop threatening to bite out peoples throats, oh my god this is the shit that will get you killed, DO NOT KICK THAT CHILD WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU I am trying to save your life here! (ă°ă°)ă

Yue Qingyuan finally entered the chat bwahahaha
so yqy's qi deviation did happen. But instead of having his soul bound to his sword he somehow ended up in the modern day instead. Poor boi is lost and a bit disoriented at the moment. But he'll find Xiao jiu (and gain a new didi in the process)...eventually đ€

#fish answers#mxtx svsss#svsss#happy beginnings au#yue qingyuan#yqy has been through the wringer#but hes gonna get a happy ending or so help me#my scribbles

Hi I've been asking a lot of people lately about random question to see their insights to things and I found your blog through your art and omgee, I love your drawings!!!! đ„°
Now for my question, which is not art related but it would mean the world to me if you answer because I've been having this problem right now myself
Someone as talented as yourself is single or taken?
Please choose your status and answer all three!
If you are single,
1) Why are you single?
2) Do you want to find them?
3) What kind of personality and body traits are you looking for in them?
If you are in a relationship,
1) What do you love about her/him/they the most and why?
2) What is your dream with this person?
3) What is the fondest memory you have with her/him/they?
Thank you so much đ„°
Hi!! First of all, thank you ! đ im super happy to hear that you like my silly drawings of silly men â€ïž
Secondly, yes. I am in a relationship with this guy:
There's a lot of things I love about him but to site them all would take all day haha. I guess to put it simply, I love that he's a dork. And that he's my dork. He could go on and on about [insert various interests here] and even though it's hard to wrap my head around sometimes, it's adorable; to listen and see him be so into what he's into, y'know? Also he also listens patiently when I go on a tangent about the stuff that I like (introducing him to scum villain was fun đ)
As for dreams, I want to have an army of dogs and be with him forever. But even if I dont get my army, I'd still wanna be with him forever
Fondest memory....I could say that it was when we became official but funniest would be when we played this video game that has chess and guns or something, whenever you go and try and take your opponents piece, the game sorta switches from traditional chess to an insane FPS. I have no chill with the latter. Long story short, I got frightened when he appeared outta nowhere, screamed, and then hurt my neck bad. Now chess is banned âșïž
