Hi! I keep seeing ppl debating if SQQ's eyes are canonically green or black. What do you think? Somebody said SQQ's eyes are green in the cover, but if you think otherwise, why? If you've discussed about this before in your page, may I see the link?

Hey! I posted this one on my meta blog (this might be what actually stirred up the discussion), but I still need to update the post there to include the timeline and all relevant information provided by various commenters.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and give a little summary here.

SQQ has black eyes in the novel, and they're explicitly described that way (黑， 乌黑 specifically, color words meaning black and crow-black (like jet black)).

This means that a depiction of SQQ with green eyes is contrary to novel canon.

At some point, people on the wiki said his eyes were described as 青 (qing）which is turquoise green/blue. I'm not exactly sure where this came from, but one very, very loose potential for this could be a misreading of the following description: 眉清目秀 which is used to describe the appearance of a young SJ. It's possible, perhaps, that the character 清 (clear) here was accidentally misread as 青 （green/blue) but i don't think that's a particularly easy misreading, especially since in that phrase the 清 is linked to 眉 （brows) instead of 目（eyes). But anything is possible, and this is the only place in the novel I could find reference to "clear eyes" in regards to SQQ, and the only potential way this misreading could have basis in the novel. Either way, his eyes are never described as 青, so that's an incorrect assumption.

So, the only thing I really consider canon proper is the novel itself, but that's my own stance. A wider stance would be considering the novel as primary canon, while the donghua/manhua are secondary canon, and things like official art could be tertiary canon. In this framework, details included in the donghua that aren't in the novel but aren't contradicted by it would also be considered wider canon and fill in those gaps, while things that contradict the novel would be canon as well, but specifically alternate, donghua canon. The same would apply to official art-- if it doesn't contradict the donghua or novel, it fills the gap, otherwise it's another kind of alternate canon.

Under this wider system, then Shen Qingqiu's canon eye color would go this way:

Primary canon - Black eyes Secondary Canon - Grey Eyes Tertiary Canon - Black, Grey, or Green Eyes

So depending on what you consider canon, then the answer can change-- but in my opinion, the novel overrides other sources.

Okay, so let's go into the secondary and tertiary canons, then. On the post on my meta blog that I linked earlier, in the replies and reblogs, there are some references about the evolution of SQQ's character design in donghua and fanart, so I'll leave those explanations to speak for themselves.

Let me talk a bit about the official art, then.

Though the English edition has the most vivid green eyes in character design, it is NOT the only cover art with green-eyed SQQ!

Across translations, he is depicted with varying black, grey, or green eyes, as follows (using purple color for grey since tumblr doesn't have a grey color):

Taiwanese (OG) - Black Taiwanese (Revamped) - Darker green, occasionally darker grey (some variety here) Thai - Lighter grey Vietnamese - Black Burmese - Medium grey or dull green (again, some variety) Korean - Black, but may vary to grey or very dull green (resolution not high enough to tell)

And then of course the vivid green of the English edition.

So when it comes to official art, it's basically evenly split, with three black, three grey, three green (counting the ones that vary).

Green-eyed SQQ is not exclusively a western fandom thing. I mean, on some levels, it makes sense for character design-- matching his eyes to his clothing color.

Personally, I wouldn't call it canon. And I think if anyone does want to claim it's canon (via the tiered system), that it would be a good idea to preface that you're going off of alternate canon instead of novel canon, so that it's not used as an argument when the discussion is specifically centered on novel canon.

There is a level of canonicity to either green-eyed or grey-eyed SQQ, but such depictions still contradict the novel, even if supported by other mediums, since his eyes are specifically described as black there.

I guess, it depends on how you want to define canon at the end of the day. I'm not here to tell other people how to play in their own sandboxes, I just personally like to play in novel canon only so that's my stance on it.

Hope this is the sort of info you wanted!

Pls share some scumplane fics i need them for research purposes

Anything by Ehann on AO3 is excellent but I really like these:

Two Part Harmony this is the first in a series and really enjoyable to see how their relationship progresses

Scum Villian's Second Chance interesting take. Shen Jiu is a little OOC here but you are given an explanation for that and it's really good fun. Also part of a series though only the first fic focuses on Scumplane

And

Matchmakers this is one of my favourites as it's when they are disciples and their relationship develops very naturally

Other works I've enjoyed are:

How to be a dad: Guide by Shang Qinghua author Skylamoonlight -unfinished but cute and worth reading

Tomorrow's problems author Marquisguyun I am a sucker for time manipulation and this is a very nice little story

When The Heart Would Cease Ours Never New Peace author Pachinko_Lessons_101 this one is inspired by Matchmaker's up above but it's its own take and I enjoyed them both very much

The Window to the Soul (and other such fallacies) author BreadAndBlankets @breadandblankets very enjoyable sweet story. It's unfinished at the moment but I do highly recommend it

I could only find the Tumblr for bread and blankets but if anyone knows the others please let me know and I'll tag them

Hello, I’m back.😁🤚 I’ve got another tgcf fic rec request. We always see Hua Cheng putting his best or original face on in front of XL, but we’re pretty explicitly told he’s fond of frequently shape shifting based on his mood and whim, and then it’s pretty well ignored for most of the story. I’m looking for any recs that show Hua Cheng earning/showing off his faceless shapeshifter reputation. I’m looking for stories where hua Cheng is only consistently recognizable by his bells. If you don’t know of any like that then just some where he shape shifts beyond his “Hot guy og form”, or “ hot guy younger form” at least more than once.

This one might be tough to find anything for.😅 But I’d be grateful for anything you know of.

Hmm, that's a tough one. I couldn't really find anything about the bells but here's a couple fics I hope you enjoy:

--

Shook by Sheer Atrocity by crowdedcafe (E, 3k, HuaLian, PWP, Demon Sex, Shapeshifting, Biting, Finger Sucking, Painplay, Rimming, Riding, Rough Sex, ft. hua chengs funky demon dick)

You seem a great chengqing shipper, could you please suggest me some good fanfictions about them? (please not misila's fics. I like enough their chengqing but they wrote in an handful of comments 'jc is the worst' and that's a deal-breaker for me)

Hi, of course! (As requested, I didn't include misila's fics, though honestly I wouldn't take that to heart, are you sure you don't misremember or they weren't 'he's the worst (affectionate)' kind of comments? misila is great with Jiang Cheng, one of the authors I trust the most to handle him well!)

Now, off the top of my head, some one-shots:

A Show of Good Faith by Artemis1000 - basically Wen Qing and Wei Wuxian ask Jiang Cheng for help instead of fleeing to the Burial Mounds, and once things settle down a little Wen Qing and Jiang Cheng have a moment together;

display my heart for you to see by Sour_Idealist - post-canon, there's something so sweet and so excruciating about this one, Wen Qing was alive all along and Jiang Cheng is touch-starved as hell;

Prescription by sugar_shoal - aka the one where the Wen remnants end up in Lotus Pier and Jiang Cheng and Wen Qing nag each other into self-care;

losing all my good years (to the shallow water) by Tavina - to Wen Qing's horror and surprise Jiang Cheng takes the huge risk of claiming her and the Wen remnants and Wei Wuxian, and there's something very different about him;

swaying forward by andreacsenge - which I already recced in the past, but I mean, Jiang Cheng as a starving vampire and Wen Qing deciding to step in and take care of that? Never gets old;

Doctor's Appointment by allllllllthethings - where Wen Qing does more mad science on Jiang Cheng (she even gets him pregnant) and they're both very into it;

Already On It by rhysiana - modern AU, because Wen Qing deserves to have someone handle a problem for her for once;

grieving what you never had by marquisguyun - Wen Qing's feelings after giving the comb back to Jiang Cheng;

you and I are a story that never gets told by doumekiss - this one with female!Jiang Cheng, encapsulates very well their dynamic during the Cloud Recesses arc

Now, a couple of longfics (they're ongoing, but almost completed):

Girl on fire by WowWowWow333 - where Wen Qing survives and ends up in Lotus Pier during the missing years, her dynamic with Jiang Cheng is delightfully snappy (it's novel verse, so they have no prior relationship);

something worth doing by twigofwillow - where Jiang Cheng goes to the Burial Mounds with a proposal for the Wen remnants

And finally, the challengers series by cerusee, where after everything Jiang Cheng finds out Wen Qing is still alive, is also excellent!

I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you want more (or if you want more of a specific kind of ChengQing fics, like more modern AUs, for example, or more fics based on the novel...)

I just realized I never advertised this fic on tumblr! It's been up for a while, though anon for a time, so it's fun to claim it.

Strike Three, Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua, soulmates/soulmarks AU. Rated Teen. 3700 words, complete.

They say dual cultivation with your soulmate can cure any ill. Unfortunately for Li Lianhua, his soulmate is the head of the demonic alliance that poisoned him and killed his shixiong. Even more unfortunately, Li Lianhua is not Di Feisheng's soulmate in turn. So he is simply out of luck... until Fang Duobing shows up.

I have never written a soulmates AU before, but the wonderful prompts by @marquisguyun were irresistible. Poly soulmates marks + identity shenanigans = lots of confusion. With a happy ending, even though Li Lianhua has to be dragged there kicking and screaming!
