Xian Chan Nu

Time to Read: 1 minute The young lady of the Liu family, Liu Shiqing, doesn’t act the way she’s expecte to. Because she grew up with her father leading armed escorts, she’s not able to stay cooped inside all day, no matter how much her father tells her to do so. One day the men are escorting a certain thing, and Liu Shiqing sneaks into the escort and nearly gets kidnapped. However, a handsome…

*crawls onto desk and looks up upon you* oh dear and glorious author god who graciously feeds us by humble request,I have arrived once more to give asking for blessings of feed for my brethen and I. Please gib the jealous scenario. It is finally time to gib us. The jealous monke. Please and thank you.

((my beloved, i take as this request as a joyfull presents. I NEED MORE! PEOPLE I NEED MORE!))

"Well, it looks like you're getting quite good at it, huh?"

Turning around, you noticed Shen coming closer from his spot. You took the chance of a small chat with the forefather to get a small break from your training with your new-found powers. Being able to use some of the same skills that Yuán Fèn had was handy, but he was such a natural with them while you needed to focus a little more. Of course, your friend decided to help you out with them. That's why you both decided to head to the Zodiac Village to not gain attention. Of course the two of you were under the wathfull eyes of Bajie, sitting on a giant case near the furnace.

And of Shen, of course, but he had a strange glim in his eyes that day.

" Yes! Is exciting! I never imagined that even I could do such things as these!"

"You're a Natural One, y/n! We still need to fix a few mistakes, but you're on the right path!"

Yuán Fèn has nothing but pure pleasure; seeing you so excited makes his heart slip a bit a few times. And of course, many had noticed, and someone wanted to use another approach with you two.

"Is that so? Well, good to know, good to know... Since she's a natural with these staff, do you mind if I take your little friend here for a few tests? I should really need a palate like hers now."

Shen put his arm around your shoulder, poking your nose, glancing a few. Look to the other one. His tone, usually so relaxed and aloof, was strangely sweet to the younger monkey ears that time. To be honest, it felt less genuine and a little more suave. 

"I...ehm...yes, why not? If y/n is fine by that."

"Well...okay! I needed a break!

"Good! Now follow me, dearest."

After that nickname, that gesture, and another side glance from the forefather, Yuán Fèn felt itchy, his foot tapping the ground light, and his tail wiggling in a strange behavior.

///

From there on, you cannot shake away the feeling that Shen was onto something. 

He was closer, very closer than usual, to you while he let you taste a few of the wines that he was able to produce, and he kept letting you use the sober stone to avoid any kind of surprise. He wanted you vigilant, that's what he said.

He was funny; he had always had this easygoing behavior, but this time he had never let a chance slide for making you laugh or making some compliments that led you to a blushfull state.

And while he was acting in this behavior, as trying to show you around, someone seemed to be in an agitated state. From time to time, when you heard movements or something being touched by a foot, you were able to see a certain destiny around, looking at the two of you. You tried to call for him, trying to ask him if he was okay or if he needed something, but Shen was always ready to take away the words from your mouth and question the other male.

Yuán Fèn, with some scoff, just avoid the questions.

You were trying another wine when you felt Shen's hand on your shoulder.

"But enough of it; tell me, Y/n, do you have a special one?" You almost choke on the wine.

"M-me?"

"Of course you! Someone that caught your eye? Someone that let your heart skip a beat?"

You tapped the cap a few times, your eyes avoiding to meet Yuán Fèn and confirm something.

"Wel... I don't think. No..."

"Oh! So you basically free now, uh?" Why was he so close? You get so small between his hands. "In this case...why don't we-"

And in one swift second, two other hands grabbed you, taking you away from Shen's attention. A tail was wrapping around you like a cobra, and a shadow loomed over you, covering you from everything.

Yuán Fèn, with his teeth grinding, was looking at Shen with a pair of eyes that could set fire to a forest.

"HANDS OF OR-" as he had taken that stance, he suddenly stopped, one hand leaving you to cover in teeth in shame.

"Or...what?" Shen had that smirk again, unmoved by that show.

Yuán Fèn lowered his eyes on you; his shameful eyes met your incredulous ones. As he had come, he darted off, mumbling something for himself. You stood up, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Yuán Fèn! Wait! I'm so sorry, Shen! I'll go talk with him!"

You followed the Destined One, while Shen waved his hand with a sneaky eye.

///////

You were able to reach it only when the same monkey stopped in his tracks. You had called him a few times. but it seemed that he didn't quite register you at all.

"Yuán Fèn! Wjat happened! Why did you act like that?!" You looked at him with concern.

He had never reacted with someone like that, especially with you as an audience! When he turned around, his face was covered in a pure red shade, making him look more like a fire bell than anything.

"I don't know what happened to me! He-he was just...and you were...and I started to... I'm so sorry! I shouldn't act like that to the forefather!"

"Wait, wait, wait..." you take his hands in your "breath, then speak."

He did what you asked; he needed more minutes to completely calm himself.

"I'm so sorry that you have to witness that shameful display. I felt something bad from the moment he took you to testing those wines. I know he was planning something, but I didn't know what. And these things, this emotion—I felt this itching sensation that I needed to take you away from him!"

He seemed genuinely hurt, so you guessed that he acted as an idiot. After all,. he may be the destined one, but he was a monkey too. And, by the way, he was explaining it...

"Were you jealous?"

By hearing these three words, his expression of shame became one of pain. Like the idea of having such feelings made him sick of some sort.

"It's horrible; I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!"

"Calm down," you giggled. " Is...fine! ...Flattering even."

"Flattering? How?" He looked at you, now confused by that statement.

"Well," you continued, "no one ever had jealousy as me as the motive. It's a new thing and a tiny tipsy cute."

"How can that be cute?!"

"Well, just a little! It's showing that you care, but just a bit! I'm not someone; I want to see you fight over people!"

At least you took it in the most rational way. He massaged his eyes, sighing deeply.

"I'm still sorry...in front of the forefather, a deity even!"

"Let's go and apologize. Besides, he was acting off, and I felt a little...hoverwelmed by him. As long as we make our piece, I think we're even." Your warm smile gave him a little more of a relax; at least you weren't angry. If it was necessary, he would have talked to the other zodiacs too; for now, he let you take his hand and guided him towards the village.

/////////

"You old monkey, have you no shame?!" Bajie could give a damn to the fact that the monkey was come kind of deity; he was ready to hit him with his rake. Shen just kept drinking with a very satisfied face.

"Brother,"Chen stepped in. "He's right! Poor girl, you must have scared her for life! And that poor boy, have you no shame to embarrass your youngling like that?!"

"Easy, my friends, easy! Look!" His finger pointed to the figure of you two, talking to each other and...holding hands. You were smiling, reassuring him. He was calming down, cinfessing something. " See? They just needed a small push."

"That's not even a real confession if you ask me," retorted Bajie.

"You may be right, brother pig, but if we don't set the base, we'll never have a house!"

My Girlfriend is a Mafia Boss Pt.III (Shen Xiaoting)

Author: To check out more of my stories you can take a look at my Masterlist

Xiaoting’s POV

Once I’ve gathered all of my best guys into my office, I briefed them all of their mission, and their objectives. At first, they were surprised to find out that I’m hiring them to kidnap a simple boy for the sake of his safety.

���Are you sure this is necessary, madam? He’s just a boy,” One of my men questioned.

“I’m paying you all to do a job, not ask questions. Is that understood?” I sternly asked and he nodded.

“Welp, as long we’re getting paid, who cares?” One of the men mentioned and I grinned.

“Good, that’s what I like to hear from you, but remember I want him alive, and if I find a single scratch on him, I’ll deduct half of your shares,” I warned and they nodded.

Leaving my office, I looked at the photo that I took of Y/N while we were eating at the restaurant yesterday.

I don’t know what came over me when I first saw him at the grocery store, something about him drew my attention, and I felt the need to protect him from all dangers of society.

Please forgive me, Y/N, but this is for your own good...

Y/N’s POV

Yet another boring shift at the store as it was very slow because it wasn’t a busy hour as mostly everyone was working.

Taking this free time to work on the back stock, there was little to do there as the shelves were full and I didn’t want to cram them or else I’ll look ugly.

Anyway, I sat in the back out of camera range going through Instagram on my phone to pass the time.

That was until I heard multiple footsteps walking inside the back but I paid no mind as it was probably my co-workers... Or so I thought.

Glancing up, I got a glimpse of a group of men wearing trenchcoats and sunglasses and they were walking around like they were searching for something or someone.

“Fan out! Once you’ve got visual confirmation of the package, call us, and will converge to your position!” One of them ordered and they split up.

Shit looks like they’re seeking something and they do not look friendly at all. Hiding behind one of the shelves in the warehouse and I see a man examining the area.

“Hmm... No sign of the target here, moving on,” The man confirmed and left me alone making me sigh in relief.

Peeping out of the shelve to make sure the coast was clear, I quietly get out of the shelve and head to the nearest fire exit.

Unfortunately, the fire exit was closed to two of the thugs keeping a sharp eye out, so I needed to create a distraction or find some sort of weapon.

Looking around the warehouse for any objects I could improvise as a weapon, I examine the tool drawer and grabbed the hammer.

“Yes, now I might stand a chance,” I said to myself.

“Hey, stop right there!” I heard a man bark and I turned around to face the man.

“You’re coming with me!” He said and I swung the hammer at his head.

The impact of the hammer made him crash into one of the shelves making all the can goods collapse onto his body.

Making a run for it, I was stopped by two more thugs this time armed with brace knuckles.

“Hold on, we cannot hurt him, not even a scratch, you heard what the boss said, right?” He asked and he sighed.

“Fine, but this better be worth all of the trouble!” He replied.

The boss? Who the hell are they talking about? I didn’t do anything to anyone so why are they sending thugs to kidnap me?

Anyway, I swing the hammer all over the place and they backed away at a safe distance and I continued to run.

“Stop him!” One of the men yelled.

Bursting through the fire exit, the fire alarm automatically went off grabbing the attention of everyone including the thugs pursuing me.

Fucking hell, I gotta lose them or else God knows what’s going to happen to me if they catch me.

Taking the car keys out of my pocket, I unlock the car, got inside the driver's seat insert the key into the ignition switch but the damn rust bucket wasn’t starting.

“Start you pile of shite!” I yelled as I kept turning the key.

However, it was no use as the windows busted open as the thugs swung a baseball bat at the window and dragged me out of the car.

“Enough games, kid... Tie him up,” He ordered and the men tied my arms and legs.

They carried me to their van, opened the back doors, and threw me in the back. I started to fear for my life as it was over and I wondered what I did to deserve this.

Hearing the engine turn on, we were on our way to who knows where, probably someplace that is far from civilization.

“Good call sabotaging the engine. Otherwise, we would have to charge the boss more,” I heard them.

“Haha! Piece of cake and easy money grab,” He replied.

Damn, so that’s why my car wouldn’t start in the first place because one of them must’ve done something to the engine.

About twenty minutes later, the van stops, I heard the men step out of the vehicle and open the doors.

One of them dragged me out of the back, untied my ankles allowing me to walk, and they harshly pushed me signaling me to get moving.

Following the group of thugs to what appears to be a luxury mansion surrounded by a garden and a security gate.

The leader goes up to the gate and hits the doorbell, the security camera focuses on him and the gates open.

Greeting us, was another group of men dressed in all black, wearing security earpieces, and sunglasses as one of them held a briefcase.

“Hand over the package,” The guard ordered.

“Nu-uh, money first,” The thug replied.

The guard holding the briefcase comes forward, unlocks the hatches revealing millions of won to verify it was all legit, and closes it.

“If that’s enough assurance, hand him over, and will take it from here,” The guard ordered and the thug pushed me towards them.

The guard hands over the briefcase full of money to them and shuts the gate in front of them.

“This way, Mister Kim,” The guard directed and I followed him.

Walking through the garden, it was well kept, and surely whoever the owner is, must be hella rich.

Once we reached the entrance, the standing guards opens the door for us, and we walk through.

I was mesmerized by how fancy this place looked, chandeliers, maids working in the mansion, and of course a staircase.

We walked up the stairs, passed by many doors that lead to all sorts of rooms I assume, until we reached a double door.

The guards opened the door, gestured for me to go inside, and I did what they say as there were no escape routes.

At first glance, it was a huge office, there was a fireplace, bookshelves, and even a large window giving a view of the garden outside.

“Please have a seat,” A feminine voice said.

Taking a seat in front of the strange dark figure sitting in the shadows, I was deeply unsettled as to what this woman has planned for me.

“I hoped my hired bodies didn’t leave a mark on you bringing you here... Did they?” She creepily asked and I gulped.

“N-No, I’m perfectly fine,” I answered.

“Great, now that’s out of the way, next would introducing ourselves, but won’t be necessary in this case... Right, Y/N?” She asked as she came into the sunlight revealing her figure.

“N-Noona?! Y-You did this?!” I exclaimed and she giggled.

“Yes, I did, but it was the only way to keep you from harm's way of my rivals, it was my fault to drag you into this situation, I should’ve known that those scumbags are always watching me and I was certain that they about you so I’m taking responsibility for my mistakes by bringing you here for protection.” She explained.

“W-Why from them? What are you?” I frantically asked.

“Because... I’m the boss of the biggest mafia clan in the entire country! Many want me dead so they can take my place and have all of the power to themselves. I have enough manpower to start my criminal empire and not even the government can’t stop me since they’re so easy to bribe.” She answered and my eye widened.

“N-No way! You’re lying!” I accused and she scoffed.

“Ever heard of the notorious criminal, the Death Angel?” She asked and I nodded.

“Y-Yeah, it’s all over the news,” I answered.

“Well, you just so happened to be talking to her~,” She replied as she reveals the tattoo on her chest and it’s the same one that I saw on the news.

“I-Impossible...” I softly said and she sighed.

“Right, I’m sure this is a lot to take in so will things slowly but for now, I promise you will be safe here as long as you do exactly as I said, understand, darling~?” She asked and I gulped.

Sword gays showdown, round 0.5

Propaganda:

For Liu Qingge:

Warning for spoilers, He’s the War God of Bai Zhan Peak basically the original sword gay in the world of SVSSS, whether or not you ship him with Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe or neither the point still stands that he’s a draw his sword first ask questions later kinda guy. Also SQQ basically canonically calls him a pretty boy, what more do you need 

He's one of the best swordsmen in-universe! According to the author, he's not interested in a relationship so he's canonically aro and possibly ace as well!

For Kurogane:

He's been practicing swordplay since his dad started teaching him when he was a kid, and inherited the sword Ginryuu that's been in his family for generations.  He now uses his skill with a blade to protect the people he cares about, and is considered the strongest swordsman in his country.  He once cut off his own arm with his sword to save the life of the man he loves, and honestly isn't that just Peak Sword Gay?

he's over six foot & his sword is almost as tall as he is, his husband (technically not canon but by god the queer subtext is h e a v y) is an immortal vampire wizard twink whose life he saved by cutting off his own arm, he's a family man first & a mass murderer second, he's that one tumblr post that's like "it's not my fault my love language is acts of service & all I know how to do is kill", he is the most mentally stable member of his traumatized little found family & he's doing his level best to drag the rest of them up with him no matter how much they (specifically his husband) might kick & scream about it

love war — ricky shen

their relationship is.. complicated to say the least. it’s sort of a war in a way, one that the both of them clearly want to win.

tags :: ricky shen x m!reader , reader is also a yuehua trainee , takes place during ollie’s birthday , they’re both technically ollie's parents , ollie is their #1 fan

“how many gifts did you buy him, oh my god?”

zhang hao looks to his friend, eyes wide as he waits for an answer as to why there was a tower of gifts on the table for one boy.

y/n simply shrugs. “i saw a lot of cute things that reminded me of ollie, so i decided to get all of them for him” he answers, zhang hao stares like he’s crazy.

“how do you even afford this?” yujin asks, his eyebrow raised.

the l/n hums, smiling. “magic” he simply says, putting his hands behind his back. “and i also just want him to have a really good birthday”.

“you bought him an entire macy’s! n/n!”

the yell from zhang hao causes for ricky to snort, making y/n furrow his eyebrows in confusion. “where the hell did you come from?”

ricky simply shrugs. “magic”.

“oh, your making fun of me now? i see how it is, lovelicky” he crosses his arms, a feeling of fake betrayal in his heart.

ricky frowns, rolling his eyes. “how rude of you, y/n”.

zhang hao stares at the scene with judgement in his eyes. he looks to yujin, whose eating a kitkat bar. “god, they’re so stupid”.

ricky sighs. “i’m tired” he mumbles, about to leave only to be dragged back by y/n. he almost fell to the floor, holding onto his waist as a way to keep himself standing straight.

“come on, it’s ollie’s birthday, and plus, you’ve been sleeping too much these days” he replies, ignoring the glare he was receiving from ricky.

ricky blinks, still glaring at the smiling boy. “no need to glare, darling, i’m just looking out for you”.

“don’t call me that”.

says ricky as he conveniently has one of his arms around his waist.

“wow, i see how it is, you two are ignoring us now” zhang hao seethes. y/n sticks his tongue out, letting of ricky’s hand as he winks at him.

“your just gonna have to share the burden yujin, hao”.

zhang hao pouts, feeling like a third wheel.

“oh, ollie, your gifts are on the counter, it’s all for you” y/n states, pointing his finger towards the table with a tower full of gifts.

ollie gasps, his jaw basically dropping to the ground. “really!? thank you thank you, you’re the best, n/n!”

the liu jumps up, running towards the table as he stares at the insane amount of gifts. “ach! your spoiling him rotten, it’s all your fault, l/n!” gyuvin exclaims, shaking the boy crazily.

“at least ollie’s happy, right ollie?”

“yep!” he yells, putting a piece of cake in his mouth. the l/n laughs, finding the sight incredibly adorable. he ruffles the younger’s hair, completely enamored by him. “you’re so cute, baby ollie”.

“y/n seems like a parent to ollie, don’t you have a partner n/n?” yujin asks, his mouth full of even more chocolate as he waited for an answer.

y/n hums, thinking, averting his gaze towards ricky, who was at the other side of the room, talking to other guests. “i’m a single parent” he finally replies, taking a sip from the cup of coffee he had.

ollie chews again. “i want ricky to be my other parent!” the l/n chokes on the coffee, surprised by the bold words. ricky looks to ollie, hearing his name but not what the younger wanted him to hear.

“what? what did you just say?”

“why is your face so red?” ricky asks, confused by the whole situation. y/n just shakes his head, putting down the cup. “nothing! nothing ricky”.

ricky looks at him with raised eyebrows. he then just shrugs, putting his arm around the male's waist. “whatever you say..” he mumbles, y/n just sighs, copying his previous movement as he also put an arm around his waist. he glares, pretending to hate it, even though he didn’t.

“look at my parents being cute!”

ollie is apparently the #1 shipper of the two.

AUTHORS NOTE — guys i literally love ricky and ollie’s friendship!! VOTE FOR THEM

Beast Taming Peak AU Pt 3

Part 1 | Part 2

Extra notes:

in this au, shen yuan did not read PIDW and therefore doesn't really learn about Airplane being the author, as he wouldn't recognize the handle and stuff like that.

I'm on the fence on whether or not Airplane would tell him, based on whether or not shen yuan could realize that he was living in a stupid papapa world.

If his obliviousness is too powerful, then he wouldn't notice that this is a papapa world, and therefore would love PIDW. I think Airplane would tell him in this circumstance. This increases the starry eyed infatuation (LMAO), increases the drama of him realizing that Shang Qinghua wasn't who he thought he was (lol he was a shitty papapa author, not a worldbuilding genius), and also the drama of Airplane's death. Nothing to rock your world like the death of its god. I do like this arc of realizing your first love was not ideal as you mature.

If he does realize that these are shitty papapa plot devices, then he'd hate PIDW and Airplane would never tell him lol. in this version, SY learns he's the author at the same time he learns that Airplane is the consort of Mobei Jun. HILARIOUS.

so PIDW in this verse is about a heavenly demon cuckoo hybrid, where Binghe seems human at first because he's being raised around humans and therefore his cuckoo blood mimics the humans, rather than because he's half human.

The cuckoo powers makes him really good at cold reading ladies and then acting out their personal fantasies

In the lore of this universe, SY is Airplane's soulmate. That's why he gets sucked into PIDW when he dies, not because of his blackpowder fan status lol.

His system is weaker and actually tied to Shang Qinghua, not Luo Binghe, and it's dormant when Airplane is off in the demon realm. I'd imagine that this new character, Peak Lord Shen Yuan, getting forced into the plot due to soulmate bullshit (the system is tired!!!) actually gives Shang Qinghua a lot more leeway from his system, leading him to inducting Luo Binghe on An Ding instead of letting him get abused on Qingjing like in PIDW.

Unfortunately, his author knowledge about cuckoo demons means that he subconsciously thinks of Binghe in IRL cuckoo-y ways, and that's why Binghe is a bird hybrid instead of a human when Shen Yuan first gets him.

yes, airplane finally gets to raise Binghe like a son. In fact, Binghe’s kind of like a Cumplane brainchild. Just like he is in SVSSS. How horrifying.

Binghe can't escape the scum villain shizun tho. As Binghe gets more and more bird traits, he becomes less a disciple and more like a peak freak, to Shang Qinghua's distress. Imagine getting bullied by AN DING of all peaks! How embarrassing. Shang Qinghua is mourning for his protagonist, maybe he shouldn’t have tried to save him from SJ…

Rather than pushing him into the abyss, the system is alright with Shang Qinghua just abandoning Binghe for the ice realm instead.

MBJ fake kills SQH to ensure their bases are all covered (on both sides, not only ensuring that they think he's dead, but also making it so that Shang Qinghua can't return bc his collusion with demons was outed), but only Binghe got close enough to see the theatrics.

Yes, Binghe's flashback and subsequent investigation is like this world's version of the Qiu Haitang trial arc. Binghe was not abused in transport, nor by Airplane (well, other than the faking death thing). he went nonverbal because he thought his shizun got merc-d by demons LOL and a bit of exclusion by other disciples for being a parrot

Without his shizun, and with these bird traits, his place on the peak became uncertain, so they gave him to the beast taming peak lol.

I imagine he despises Shang Qinghua after the reveal. "I have no Shizun, only Shen Yuan" lol He's grateful that Shang Qinghua's fake death at least got him on Shen Yuan's peak tho lol

airplane is the one who knew parrots threw up to show attraction lol so him

why does Luo Binghe fall in love with kind Beast Peak Shizun but not with Shang Qinghua, who was also a powerful cultivator who accepted him as a cuckoo and was good to him?

Shang Qinghua is cursed with the expectations of the author, unfortunately.

Shen Yuan, with zero experience with PIDW, has no clue Binghe is even the protagonist.

Shang Qinghua wrote Binghe to suffer and then become a dissatisfied alpha male with hundreds of wives. you can see the problem there lol

In this AU, Shen Yuan in this AU manages to swerve the awkward "go flirt with Yingying" phase or the creepiness of hugging a kid's golden thigh, but Shang Qinghua can't say the same lol. Expectations of greatness lay heavy, especially on a cuckoo.

the original binghe has a lot of cuckoo imagery already.

the false jade pendant being a metaphor, not only for the fake shizun being more meaningful to him than the original goods.

But also that he's pretending to be a jade-faced cultivator in this nest of baby cultivators, while actually being a demon in sheep's clothing.

i love the fact that the fake jade also represents his adopted mother (not his "real" mother but still just as meaningful). Wouldn't that be lessened by making her a bio mom? In the end, she's a fellow cuckoo demon who realized a baby cuckoo needed a nest after cuckoo su xiyan died.

cuckoos also never meet their real parents. They only ever know their foster parent. I think that's pretty poignant, especially in regards to Binghe.

In this AU Su Xiyan adopted human cultivator culture but fell in love with Tianlang Jun. I don’t think anybody knew she was a cuckoo.

im unsure of the fate of heavenly demons or tianlang jun in this au, or if he's even binghe's father. Though I'd imagine changelings are an bandaid solution to the lack of Heavenly Demons problem.

If you couldn’t already tell, the Heavenly Demon aspect to Luo Binghe is less prominent because he doesn’t actually have innate heavenly demon powers. He’s a cuckoo mimicking heavenly demon powers.

Instead of a seal, SU Xiyan placed some sort of birthright detector on him to ensure that maybe Tianlang Jun or Zhuzhi Lang could learn that he was their son when it was safer. This was a gamble based on the idea that TLJ would survive or escape and recover in time to be able to parent for Binghe’s adolescence, which obviously didn’t pan out.

The birthright acts with a secondary purpose. Because Binghe would probably be adopted by a weak demon/human, that means he wouldn’t have any connection to Heavenly Demon culture/powers. Unacceptable for a cuckoo mom. So the birthright is there to make people think he’s a heavenly demon, therefore molding him to have Heavenly Demon powers. So it’d be first activated in any fight against a sufficiently powerful demon as a defense mechanism. I’m still torn on whether or not his birthright activated and is known on the Peaks in this AU or if Shen Yuan discovers that he’s heavenly demon through SQH’s notes and keeps it a secret.

The first probably means SY is the one to save him, which is more romantic. The second means that their relationship has more secrets, which is more illicit.

A lot of inexplicable monsters in legends are actually the result of cuckoos getting ostracized and then gossiped about. Like imagine if in MDZS, Wei Wuxian was a cuckoo. When he became the Yiling Laozu, he’d actually shift over time to look and have the powers of his hideous, scam portraits. XD

Part of the exclusion towards cuckoos is that cuckoos are a weird form of magical creature where ALL children are born as cuckoos. There’s no “hybrid” “half demon half cuckoo,” just full cuckoo. I’m also debating if this is a chance thing. Like 1 in 4 children will be a cuckoo while the other 3 will be full heavenly demons. This will contribute to the “raising somebody else’s child” myth and the “cuckoo chicks pushing real eggs out of the nest” imagery.

The first makes Xiyan not telling TLJ more sensible. Demon culture is finicky about line of succession. The second is more tragic. Like maybe she was cut off before she could do so or maybe she didn’t trust TLJ as much as he thought she did.

cuckoos craving acceptance but constantly putting up a mask. now that's people pleaser feels. T-T but that's also what being a student is like. you're mimicking those around you and molding yourself to those expectations.

my experiences with neurodivergence and masking probably created A LOT of this AU. Once again tracking with the idea that Shizun is the authority figure in our life we wished we had, he's like the perfect ideal of one learning how to accommodate you.

Also fascinating considering the tumblr theory that changelings myths are actually explanations for neurodivergent children. Also echolalia and parrots. Also the petplay/getting condescended to aspect of being neurodivergent… hmm how psychosexual

FIC REC: That's NOT A REAL TROPE you Hack Author!

Link: That's NOT A REAL TROPE you Hack Author! by Boom_After_Dark (Boomchick)

Rating: E  |  Genre: humour, angst, crack-y  |  Length: complete, 126k Some other relevant tags: identity reveal, fix it of sorts, happy ending, crack to angst to hurt/comfort with a happy ending

Summary: So. It turns out that Shang Qinghua was taking commissions on the side to write fanfiction of his own novel. Truly, his shamelessness knows no bounds, ect., ect., what else is new?! The problem is, now the System has found those stories, and shoved them in the middle of Shen Qingqiu's Happy Ever After!

It can't be too bad, though, right? It's not like Airplane-bro wasn't already abusing every trope known to man! Only... What trope is this supposed to be??? "Great Master" Airplane, bro, why are all these tropes wrong???

Did you... Did you seriously scam people out of their money without knowing what their requests meant?!

A story of tropes where all the tropes are wrong.

My comment: that ending!! oh my god!!!! you know that feeling when you read a fanfic and it's like, such a fucking masterpiece, of feelings, of emotions, of perfect beautiful lines that all come together into one grand, glorious final scene, and you know in your heart, THIS IS WHY I FUCKING READ FANFICTION? yeah. this fic has that. doesn't seem like it! it's definitely a crack-y and silly premise! but i promise you, this thing has emotions in it, is very well written throughout even at its silliest, and that final scene is fucking haunting, oh my god. BELIEVE ME. READ THIS.

Instead of waiting for Gabriel to come up with a plan, you three left the room to see if there was a way to release the inhabitants from the freezer inside the kitchen. You walk into the lobby and immediately hear screaming. The screams get louder as the owner comes closer to the room you’re in. Sam and Dean jump behind a wall to hide, but you just stand there. There are multiple heavy footsteps to go along with the scream, and your eyes widen at the thought of more of those Gods coming.

Sam reaches out and grabs your arm, pulling you into him. He holds you close to his body as the three of you hide. You and Dean peek over the edge of the wall to see multiple Gods dragging one of the occupants of the freezer into the room. They heave him onto the front desk, and one of the gods raise a meat cleaver.

If you don’t do something, this man is going to be dead. You struggle to get out of Sam’s hold, but his arms are stronger than ever. The God slams the meat cleaver down on the man’s neck, severing his head.

“It’s too late,” Sam whispers, and you bury your head in his chest to resist killing those Gods out there.

“I can take them,” you argue.

“No, you can’t. There are too many of them,” he whispers back.

The Gods take their time chopping up the man, and they take the pieces with them back to the ballroom. The front desk is bloody and messy, but at least the room is empty. Sam lets you go, and you waste no time running towards the kitchen. Dean stares after his brother with an unhappy look on his face. There was no reason for Sam to hold you close like that for that long. This night needs to end so he can go back to being mad at you. Is he being childish? Maybe, but he doesn’t need his brother rubbing in the fact that you two are getting closer because of something you did.

After all, you did kill his niece. How can Sam be okay after what you did?

The occupants of the freezer scream and beg for you to let them go. Since you’re able to get them out the fastest, Sam and Dean watch your back while you use your magic to get the freezer unlocked. They beg and pound on the door which breaks your concentration multiple times. It’s hard to get things done when so much is weighing on your mind.

Suddenly, Dean is grabbed and thrown back into a metal shelving unit. You look over your shoulder at Dean, but he yells at you to keep going. Zao Shen grabs at Sam next, going for his throat. Dean is still woozy from his landing, so he’s not much help in this fight. Zao Shen squeezes Sam’s throat very tightly before tossing him to the side.

When the God knows they aren’t going to get in his way, he goes after you. Your hands and bright blue as are your eyes, and you were going to use this magic to unlock the door, but it looks like you have to use it for something else. Turning around, you place your hands in front of you to create a magical barrier between you and the God.

He looks at the blue barrier, but that only gives him determination to beat your ass. He pushes against the barrier as hard as he can, and your back slams against the metal door of the freezer. He slowly inches closer to you, and if Sam or Dean doesn’t do anything soon, then he is going to break through and kill you.

His face is mere inches from yours, but he doesn’t have the opportunity to go any further. Dean collects himself and gets up, grabbing the first thing he sees as a weapon. With it in hand, he rushes over to the God and penetrates his skin with the… wooden stake? Where the hell did he get that? He twists the stake inside Zao Shen, and the God quickly dies. Zao Shen falls to the ground, and you release the barrier with a deep breath.

“Thanks,” you pant.

“Don’t mention it,” he grumbles.

“Where the hell is Gabriel?” you ask.

Three more Gods enter the kitchen, and before you even have a chance to turn your attention to the hostages, they grab you and drag you back to the ballroom. You’re too tired from using all that magic at once, so you don’t even try and fight back. You enter the ballroom with a grunt, and the God who manhandles you thrusts your ass into a chair. Gabriel is already in the room, and he sits a few chairs down from you with Kali and the rest of the Gods nearby.

“How long have you known?” Gabriel asks Kali once everyone is settled down.

“Long enough.”

“How's the rescue going?” Dean asks the archangel sarcastically.

All he gets in return is Gabriel mocking him with his facial expressions.

“Well, surprise, surprise. The Trickster has tricked us,” Kali grins.

“Kali, don't,” Gabriel whispers.

“You're mine now. And you have something I want,” she says and takes a seat on his armchair so that she’s in his personal space. She reaches into his jacket and retrieves an angel blade that he’s kept hidden. “An Archangel's blade. From the Archangel, Gabriel.”

“Okay, okay!” he gives once she moves away. All eyes are on him, so he’s forced to give up his identity. “So I got wings, like Kotex. But that doesn't make me any less right about Lucifer.”

“He's lying. He's a spy,” Kali directs this towards the other Gods.

“I'm not a spy. I'm a runaway. I'm trying to save you. I know my brother, Kali. He should scare the living shit out of you. You can't beat him. I've skipped ahead, seen how this story ends—”

“Your story,” she interrupts, “not ours. Westerners, I swear. The sheer arrogance. You think you're the only ones on earth? You pillage and you butcher in your God's name. But you're not the only religion, and he's not the only God. And now you think you can just rip the planet apart? You're wrong. There are billions of us, and we were here first. If anyone gets to end this world, it's me. I'm sorry.”

Kali uses Gabriel’s own blade against him and shoves it deep within his chest. She has tears in her eyes as if she’s affected by her decision. As soon as Gabriel screams, you shoot out of your chair with a shout.

“No!” you yell.

The God assigned to you grabs your shoulders and forces you to sit once more. White light shines from Gabriel’s eyes and mouth, and with a flash of it, he’s dead. You look from Gabriel to Kali who just backs away emotionally.

“This is crazy,” Mercury sighs.

“They can die. We can kill Lucifer,” she declares.

“Alright, listen up you primitive screwups,” you say and get up.

You are done messing around.

“Are you outta your mind?” Sam mutters to you.

“I’m done fucking around!” you yell at him before turning back to the Gods. “Now on any other day, I’d kill every single one of you, but desperate times calls for desperate measures. So, even though I'd love nothing better than to slit your throats, you dicks, I'm gonna help you. I'm going to help you ice the devil. Then we can all get back to killing each other like normal. You want Lucifer, well, psycho’s not in the Yellow Pages. However, me, Sam and Dean can get him here.”

“How?” Kali asks, obviously intrigued.

“Oh no, you don’t get shit from me until those hostages are set free. Let them go, and then we’ll talk. We can either take on Lucifer together, or you asswipes can eat me. Literally,” you smile sarcastically. “Who do you think Lucifer wants more? You or us?”

“Come on everybody!” you yell as all of the hostages run out of the hotel screaming. The Gods took your deal, and you’re just making sure the hostages are free to go before heading back inside. “Let's go! Alright, go, go, go! Get outta here!”

“Psst! Y/N!” someone whispers from the Impala. You take a few steps to see Gabriel sitting in the back seat. What the fuck? You thought he died inside. “Don't look at me! Act natural. Get in.”

“What the fuck?” you whisper but get in the driver's seat like you’re told to do. “Man, there is nothing natural about this at all. I thought you were dead.”

“You think I'd give Kali my real sword? That thing can kill me!” he exclaims.

He keeps his head down as to not be spotted by any peering eyes.

“Then what do they have in there?”

“A fake! Made it out of cans of diet orange slice. So, uh, go snag our blood, would ya?”

“Excuse me?”

“Use your witch powers to get it! I heard you in there. Kali likes you. You can get close. Lift the plasma, and then we vamoose.”

“No,” you shake your head. “Hand over the real blade. Better yet, why don't you sack up and help us take down Lucifer.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“Deadly,” you chuckle humorlessly.

“Since when are you butt buddies with a bunch of monsters? That's all they are to you, aren't they?”

“Yeah, it’s fucking nuts, but I’m right. It’s the best idea we’ve had all night. So, unless you got a better one, man the fuck up.”

“Good luck with that. Me? I'm blowing Jonestown. Those lemmings wanna run off a cliff, that's their business.”

“I see right through you, you know that? The smart-ass shell, the whole ‘I couldn’t give a shit’ thing? Believe me, it takes one to know one,” you scoff.

“That so?”

“Yes. Maybe those freaks in there aren't your blood, but they are your family.”

“They just stabbed me in the fucking heart!”

“That may be, but you still give a shit about them, don’t you?”

“Y/N.”

“They’re going to die in there without you,” you switch tactics.

“I can't kill my brother,” he whispers.

“Can’t or won’t?” you ask, but all you receive is silence on his end. “That’s what I thought.”

You turn to leave the car, but you pause. There is something else you want to say to him that might change his mind. You turn back to him with a sigh.

“Look, you must know what I did by now. Everyone’s talking about it. Dean thinks I gave up on family when I had your brother kill my child. He’s pissed at me, he picks a fight whenever he can, and he won’t let me by his side anymore. I screwed up big time, but he’s still my family. I’d give everything to have what I lost, but I won’t do it in this world—not like this.

“You know why? Because of your older brother. He’s what’s stopping me from having a family, Gabriel. You must remember when your dad made us, right? To love us more than him? Lucifer wanted to be the center of attention, so he’s throwing a big tantrum to prove he doesn’t play well. How can I raise a child in a world he’s going to destroy?

“He is going to destroy it, Gabriel, unless he’s stopped. Now, he won’t listen to us, but you can change his mind. You grew up with him, just like I grew up with Sam and Dean. You don’t know how many times I was able to stop Dean from doing something stupid. Now, we may not be archangels, but we are family.

“Michael clearly won’t stop Lucifer without Dean, I have no idea where Raphael is or what he’s planning on doing about this, so that leaves you. Sometimes, being a family means doing what’s best for someone else. If protecting humans means killing your brother, then that’s what needs to be done. After all, it is what your dad would have wanted, right?”

You leave Gabriel with that and exit the car. Gabriel watches as you walk back into the hotel to join sides with the Gods in defeating the devil.

[braidedribbon]

hi! i've noticed that recently you have been posting a lot about several (i think it's more than one) pairings of very pretty men with long black hair (one goth/one angelic) and i was wondering what that was? when i try to google the things in your tags on these posts, the results are mostly in chinese and what's in english i don't really get (what is cultivation?) i'm sorry to be treating you like like a search engine, i'm just curious about the pretty boys and i don't know who else to ask

Hello!

I have indeed been posting about several very pretty pairings.  Because I have no self control! *finger guns*  But! because I have no self control and I don’t mind being a search engine, I can definitely give you a hand.

The pairings should primarily be from mo doa zu shi and tian guan ci fu; scum villain probably only started showing up a day or two ago.  These links are to my tags; the later links will be to good sites for the novels. I don’t have good sites for anything else because I’m a very low-profile p*rate

Before I get too far into anything, the quick and dirty of cultivation is: martial arts + meditation/daoism? = magic powers.  These magic powers are then typically put to use fighting evil supernatural powers.  As a character’s cultivation improves, their power level increases and they can become immortal or even gods.  All of this in the general but vague context of ancient china.  

This summary is brought to you after flailing about in an entirely new-to-me cultural backdrop for the past 2ish months.  Now, back to the pretty boys.

mo doa zu shi, or The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation or The Founder of Diabolism, follows Wei WuXian (goth) who has been brought back to life and Lan WangJi (angelic) who has no intention of losing his high school crush a second time as they solve mysteries.  More of a low to mid fantasy, there is a large focus on the various sects or factions and the diplomatics between them.  Originally a chinese web novel, it also has a manhua/manga adaptation, a donghua/anime adaptation and a drama adaptation.  The novel, manhua and donghua all go by the above names but the drama goes by The Untamed.  It’s on netflix.  Very good.  Everyone loves the bunnies.  Be prepared for feels.  Including feels for a corpse.

tian guan ci fu, or Heaven Official’s Blessing, follows Xie Lian (angelic), a disgraced heavenly official who has been wandering the world for 800 years, who ascends to heaven (for the 3rd time) and Hua Cheng (goth), a great ghost king and scourge of the heavens, as they fall in love and tear down the government.  Definitely would be high fantasy, the characters are primarily gods or ghosts.  As soon as you get over the fact that the becoming a god/ascending to heaven that everyone aspires to essentially means they become a bureaucrat for all of eternity, it makes perfect sense.  Actually, it really is more accessible than mdzs in terms of needed background knowledge; it explains itself quite well.  Glancing through my tag, there’s a bit more variety to it.  Many characters are very fun.  The other pairing that shows up rather often is colloquially known as beefleaf;  Shi QuanXuan (angelic), a super peppy cinnamon roll, and Ming Yi (goth) who reluctantly cross-dresses* with them.  (*does it still count as cross-dressing if no one has a corporeal body anymore and occasionally decide I’m going to be x gender today?)  Anyway, this is also originally a chinese web novel.  Both are by the same author.  There is a recently started manhua adaptation that is very lovely and a donghua adaptation should be starting later this year.  SUPER soft.  Intense but doesn’t take itself too seriously.  Great cast of characters.

Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System is the third, or rather the first, novel by this same author.  This one requires a little bit more trope/genre awareness but it’s well done and has good translations so that makes it a nice place to get into the trope if you’re looking for one.  This is a transmigration story.  The premise of transmigration is (or at least seems to be) that a person dies but, instead of dying, they wake up somewhere else as someone else.  The particular brand of transmigration found in scum villain is the waking up as a character of a book that is destined to die.  Then the story becomes how the transmigrated person changes the character’s relationships and interactions and what the repercussions of those changes are.  Here, Shen QingQiu (angelic) transmigrates to become the teacher of Luo BingHe (goth), the protagonist who just wants to love his teacher but all of his advances end up interpreted as death threats.  The other angelic/goth pairing you’re most likely to see here is Shang QingHua/Mo BeiJun but I have not yet gotten far enough to give them a proper comment.  From what I understand, there were once plans for all sorts of adaptations but they are all cancelled or on indefinited hiatus.  Very campy.  Very trope-y.  Has never heard of the 4th wall.  Very funny.

And should you want to continue down this sort of rabbit hole, some nice places to start are:

Psychic Princess - manhua/donghua; m/f; girl gets married in place of her sister thanks to a loop hole, proceeds to make friends with all the spirits in her new home; historical supernatural

The King’s Avatar - novel/manhua/donghua/drama; I believe there is some endgame m/f in the novel, none as of yet in the donghua, can’t speak to the rest; who doesn’t want to watch the world get beat up by some guy with an umbrella; modern day + online games

The Emperor’s Strategy - novel/donghua; m/m; emperor asks a lord what he wants as a reward for a service rendered, lord replies “you”; half historical half mid fantasy

Everyday the Protagonist Wants to Catch Me - novel; m/m; very similar to scum villain

Let Me Tease You - novel; m/m; not quite as similar to scum villain

Imperial Doctor Belongs to the Princess - novel; f/f; most promising looking f/f I’ve come across but it’s not very translated T^T

Mistress, I was Wrong - novel; f/f; could be interesting but also not very translated

Lone Swan - manhua; m/m; kinda like mdzs except with puppets instead of corpses; very pretty like the tgcf manhua

Thank you for the amusing reminder that virtually every couple here can be asked “so who’s the angel and who’s the goth?”  I apologise for getting carried away...  hopefully this was still good and you don’t regret coming to me to be a search engine!

Trump, QAnon and an impending judgment day: Behind the Facebook-fueled rise of The Epoch Times

Started almost two decades ago with a stated mission to “provide information to Chinese communities to help immigrants assimilate into American society,” The Epoch Times now wields one of the biggest social media followings of any news outlet. (VIDEO)

By Brandy Zadrozny and Ben Collins | Published Aug. 20, 2019, 4:12 AM ET | NBC News | Posted August 20, 2019 |

By the numbers, there is no bigger advocate of President Donald Trump on Facebook than The Epoch Times.

The small New York-based nonprofit news outlet has spent more than $1.5 million on about 11,000 pro-Trump advertisements in the last six months, according to data from Facebook’s advertising archive — more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself, and more than most Democratic presidential candidates have spent on their own campaigns.

Those video ads — in which unidentified spokespeople thumb through a newspaper to praise Trump, peddle conspiracy theories about the “Deep State,” and criticize “fake news” media — strike a familiar tone in the online conservative news ecosystem. The Epoch Times looks like many of the conservative outlets that have gained followings in recent years.

But it isn’t.

Behind the scenes, the media outlet’s ownership and operation is closely tied to Falun Gong, a Chinese spiritual community with the stated goal of taking down China’s government.

It’s that motivation that helped drive the organization toward Trump, according to interviews with former Epoch Times staffers, a move that has been both lucrative and beneficial for its message.

Former practitioners of Falun Gong told NBC News that believers think the world is headed toward a judgment day, where those labeled “communists” will be sent to a kind of hell, and those sympathetic to the spiritual community will be spared. Trump is viewed as a key ally in the anti-communist fight, former Epoch Times employees said.

In part because of that unusual background, The Epoch Times has had trouble finding a foothold in the broader conservative movement.

“It seems like an interloper — not well integrated socially within the movement network, and not terribly well-circulating among right-wingers,” said A.J. Bauer, a visiting professor of media, culture and communication at New York University, who is part of an ongoing study in which he and his colleagues interview conservative  journalists.

“Even when discussing more fringe-y sites, conservative journalists tend to reference Gateway Pundit or Infowars,” Bauer said. “The Epoch Times doesn’t tend to come up.”

That seems to be changing.

Before 2016, The Epoch Times generally stayed out of U.S. politics, unless they dovetailed with Chinese interests. The publication’s recent ad strategy, coupled with a broader campaign to embrace social media and conservative U.S. politics — Trump in particular — has doubled The Epoch Times’ revenue, according to the organization’s tax filings, and pushed it to greater prominence in the broader conservative media world.

Started almost two decades ago as a free newspaper and website with a stated mission to “provide information to Chinese communities to help immigrants assimilate into American society,” The Epoch Times now wields one of the biggest social media followings of any news outlet.

In April, at the height of its ad spending, videos from the Epoch Media Group, which includes The Epoch Times and digital video outlet New Tang Dynasty, or NTD, combined for around 3 billion views on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, ranking 11th among all video creators across platforms and outranking every other traditional news publisher, according to data from the social media analytics company Tubular.

That engagement has made The Epoch Times a favorite of the Trump family and a key component of the president’s re-election campaign. The president’s Facebook page has posted Epoch Times content at least half a dozen times this year— with several articles written by members of the Trump campaign. Donald Trump Jr. has tweeted several of their stories, too.

In May, Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, sat down for a 40-minute interview in Trump Tower with the paper’s senior editor. And for the first time, The Epoch Times was a main player at the conservative conference CPAC this year, where it secured interviews with members of Congress, Trump Cabinet members and right-wing celebrities.

At the same time, its network of news sites and YouTube channels has made it a powerful conduit for the internet’s fringier conspiracy theories, including  anti-vaccination propaganda and  QAnon, to reach the mainstream.

Despite its growing reach and power, little is publicly known about the precise ownership, origins or influences of The Epoch Times.

The outlet’s opacity makes it difficult to determine an overall structure, but it is loosely organized into several regional tax-free nonprofits. The Epoch Times operates alongside the video production company, NTD, under the umbrella of The Epoch Media Group, a private news and entertainment company whose owner executives have declined to name, citing concerns of "pressure" that could follow.

The Epoch Media Group, along with Shen Yun, a dance troupe known for its ubiquitous advertising and unsettling performances, make up the outreach effort of Falun Gong, a relatively new spiritual practice that combines ancient Chinese meditative exercises, mysticism and often ultraconservative cultural worldviews. Falun Gong’s founder has referred to Epoch Media Group as “our media,” and the group’s practice heavily informs The Epoch Times’ coverage, according to former employees who spoke with NBC News.

Executives at The Epoch Times declined to be interviewed for this article, but the publisher, Stephen Gregory, wrote an editorial in response to a list of emailed questions from NBC News, calling it “highly inappropriate” and part of an effort to “discredit” the publication to ask about the company’s affiliation with Falun Gong and its stance on the Trump administration.

Interviews with former employees, public financial records and social media data illustrate how a secretive newspaper has been able to leverage the devoted followers of a reclusive spiritual leader, political vitriol, online conspiracy theories and the rise of Trump to become a digital media powerhouse that now attracts billions of views each month, all while publicly denying or downplaying its association with Falun Gong.

Behind The Times

In 2009, the founder and leader of Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi, came to speak at The Epoch Times’ offices in Manhattan. Li came with a clear directive for the Falun Gong volunteers who comprised the company’s staff: “Become regular media.”

The publication had been founded nine years earlier in Georgia by John Tang, a Chinese American practitioner of Falun Gong and current president of New Tang Dynasty. But it was falling short of Li’s ambitions as stated to his followers: to expose the evil of the Chinese government and “save all sentient beings” in a forthcoming divine battle against communism.

Roughly translated by the group as “law wheel exercise,” Falun Gong was started by Li in 1992. The practice, which combines bits of Buddhism and Taoism, involves meditation and gentle exercises and espouses Li’s controversial teachings.

“Li Hongzhi simplified meditation and practices that traditionally have many steps and are very confusing,” said Ming Xia, a professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York who has studied Falun Gong. “Basically it’s like fast food, a quickie.”

Li’s teachings quickly built a significant following — and ran into tension with China’s leaders, who viewed his popularity as a threat to the communist government’s hold on power.

In 1999, after thousands of Li’s followers gathered in front of President Jiang Zemin’s compound to quietly protest the arrest of several Falun Gong members, authorities in China banned Falun Gong, closing teaching centers and arresting Falun Gong organizers and practitioners who refused to give up the practice. Human rights groups have reported some adherents being tortured and killed while in custody.

The crackdown elicited condemnation from Western countries, and attracted a new pool of followers in the United States, for whom China and communism were common adversaries.

"The persecution itself elevated Li’s status and brought tremendous media attention,” Ming said.

It has also invited scrutiny of the spiritual leader’s more unconventional ideas. Among them, Li has railed against what he called the wickedness of homosexuality, feminism and popular music while holding that he is a god-like figure who can levitate and walk through walls.

Li has also taught that sickness is a symptom of evil that can only be truly cured with meditation and devotion, and that aliens from undiscovered dimensions have invaded the minds and bodies of humans, bringing corruption and inventions such as computers and airplanes. The Chinese government has used these controversial teachings to label Falun Gong a cult. Falun Gong has denied the government's characterization.

The Epoch Times provided Li with an English-language way to push back against China — a position that would eventually dovetail with Trump’s election.

In 2005, The Epoch Times released its greatest salvo, publishing the ''Nine Commentaries," a widely distributed book-length series of anonymous editorials that it claimed exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s “massive crimes” and “attempts to eradicate all traditional morality and religious belief.”

The next year, an Epoch Times reporter was removed from a White House event for Chinese President Hu Jintao after interrupting the ceremony by shouting for several minutes that then-President George W. Bush must stop the leader from “persecuting Falun Gong.”

But despite its small army of devoted volunteers, The Epoch Times was still operating as a fledgling startup.

Ben Hurley is a former Falun Gong practitioner who helped create Australia’s English version of The Epoch Times out of a living room in Sydney in 2005. He has written about his experience with the paper and described the early years as “a giant PR campaign” to evangelize about Falun Gong’s belief in an upcoming apocalypse in which those who think badly of the practice, or well of the Chinese Communist Party, will be destroyed.

Hurley, who wrote for The Epoch Times until he left in 2013, said he saw practitioners in leadership positions begin drawing harder and harder lines about acceptable political positions.

“Their views were always anti-abortion and homophobic, but there was more room for disagreements in the early days,” he said.

Hurley said Falun Gong practitioners saw communism everywhere: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, movie star Jackie Chan and former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan were all considered to have sold themselves out to the Chinese government, Hurley said.

This kind of coverage foreshadowed the news organization’s embrace of conspiracy theories like QAnon, the overarching theory that there is an evil cabal of “deep state” operators and child predators out to take down the president.

“It is so rabidly pro-Trump,” Hurley said, referring to The Epoch Times. Devout practitioners of Falun Gong “believe that Trump was sent by heaven to destroy the Communist Party.”

A representative for Li declined an interview request. Li lives among hundreds of his followers near Dragon Springs, a 400-acre compound in upstate New York that houses temples, private schools and quarters where performers for the organization’s dance troupe, Shen Yun, live and rehearse, according to four former compound residents and former Falun Gong practitioners who spoke to NBC News.

They said that life in Dragon Springs is tightly controlled by Li, that internet access is restricted, the use of medicines is discouraged, and arranged relationships are common. Two former residents on visas said they were offered to be set up with U.S. residents at the compound.

Tiger Huang, a former Dragon Springs resident who was on a U.S. student visa from Taiwan, said she was set up on three dates on the compound, and she believed her ability to stay in the U.S. was tied to the arrangement.

“The purpose of setting up the dates was obvious,” Huang said. Her now-husband, a former Dragon Springs resident, confirmed the account.

Huang said she was told by Dragon Springs officials her visa had expired and was told to go back to Taiwan after months of dating a nonpractitioner in the compound. She later learned that her visa had not expired when she was told to leave the country.

Campaign season

By 2016, The Epoch Times Group appeared to have heeded the call from Li to run its operation more like a typical news organization, starting with The Epoch Times’ website. In March, the company placed job ads on the site Indeed.com and assembled a team of seven young reporters otherwise unconnected to Falun Gong. The average salary for the new recruits was $35,000 a year, paid monthly, according to former employees.

Things seemed “strange,” even from the first day, according to five former reporters who spoke with NBC News — four of whom asked for anonymity over concerns that speaking negatively about their experience would affect their relationship with current and future employers.

As part of their orientation, the new reporters watched a video that laid out the Chinese persecution of Falun Gong followers. The publisher, Stephen Gregory, also spoke to the reporters about his vision for the new digital initiative. The former employees said Gregory’s talk framed The Epoch Times as an answer to the liberal mainstream media.

Their content was to be critical of communist China, clear-eyed about the threat of Islamic terrorism, focused on illegal immigration and at all times rooted in “traditional” values, they said. This meant no content about drugs, gay people or popular music.

The reporters said they worked from desks arranged in a U-shape in a single-room office that was separated by a locked door from the other staff members who worked on the paper, dozens of Falun Gong volunteers and interns. The new recruits wrote up to five news stories a day in an effort to meet a quota of 100,000 page views, and submitted their work to a handful of editors — a team of two Falun Gong-practicing married couples.

“Slave labor may not be the right word, but that’s a lot of articles to write in one day,” one former employee said.

It wasn’t just the amount of writing but also the conservative editorial restrictions that began to concern some of the employees.

“It’s like we were supposed to be fighting so-called liberal propaganda by making our own,” said Steve Klett, who covered the Trump campaign for The Epoch Times as his first job in journalism. Klett likened The Epoch Times to a Russian troll farm and said his articles were edited to remove outside criticism of Trump.

“The worst was the Pulse shooting,” Klett said, referring to the 2016 mass shooting in which 50 people including the gunman were killed at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. “We weren’t allowed to cover stories involving homosexuality, but that bumps up against them wanting to cover Islamic terrorism. So I wrote four articles without using the word gay.”

Klett said that the publication also began to skew in favor of Trump, who had targeted China on the campaign trail with talk of a trade war.

“I knew I had to forget about all the worst parts of Trump,” Klett said.

Klett, however, would not end up having to cover the Trump administration. Eight days before the election, the team was called together and fired as a group.

“I guess the experiment was over,” a former employee said.

The content

The Epoch Times, digital production company NTD and the heavily advertised dance troupe Shen Yun make up the nonprofit network that Li calls “our media.” Financial documents paint a complicated picture of more than a dozen technically separate organizations that appear to share missions, money and executives. Though the source of their revenue is unclear, the most recent financial records from each organization paint a picture of an overall business thriving in the Trump era.

The Epoch Times brought in $8.1 million in revenue in 2017 — double what it had the previous year — and reported spending $7.2 million on “printing newspaper and creating web and media programs.” Most of its revenue comes from advertising and “web and media income,” according to the group’s annual tax filings, while individual donations and subscriptions to the paper make up less than 10 percent of its revenue.

New Tang Dynasty’s 2017 revenue,  according to IRS records, was $18 million, a 150 percent increase over the year before. It spent $16.2 million.

That exponential growth came around the same time The Epoch Times expanded its online presence and increased its ad spending, honing its message on two basic themes: enthusiastic support for Trump’s agenda, and the exposure of what the publication claims is a labyrinthian, global conspiracy led by Clinton and former President Barack Obama to tear down Trump. One such conspiracy theory, loosely called “Spygate,” has become a common talking point for Fox News host Sean Hannity and conservative news websites like Breitbart.

The paper’s “Spygate Special Coverage” section, which frequently sits atop its website, theorizes about a grand, yearslong plot in which former Obama and Clinton staffers, a handful of magazines and newspapers, private investigators and government bureaucrats plan to take down the Trump presidency.

In his published response, publisher Gregory said the media outlet’s ads “have no political agenda.”

While The Epoch Times usually straddles the line between an ultraconservative news outlet and a conspiracy warehouse, some popular online shows created by Epoch Times employees and produced by NTD cross the line completely, and spread far and wide.

One such show is "Edge of Wonder," a verified YouTube channel that releases new NTD-produced videos twice every week and now has more than 33 million views. In addition to claims that alien abductions are real and the drug epidemic was engineered by the “deep state,” the channel pushes the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely posits that the same “Spygate” cabal is a front for a global pedophile ring being taken down by Trump.

One QAnon video, titled “#QANON - 7 facts the MEDIA (MSM) Won’t Admit” has almost 1 million views on YouTube. Other videos in the channel’s QAnon playlist, which include videos about 9/11 conspiracy theories and one titled “13 BLOODLINES & their Diabolical End Game,” gained hundreds of thousands of views each.

Travis View, a researcher and podcaster who studies the QAnon movement, said The Epoch Times has sanitized the conspiracy theory by pushing Spygate, which drops the wildest and more prurient details of QAnon while retaining its conspiratorial elements.

“QAnon is highly stigmatized among people trying to push the Spygate message. They know how toxic QAnon is,” View said. “Spygate leaves out the spiritual elements, the child sex trafficking, but it’s certainly integral to the QAnon narrative.”

Gregory denied any connection with "Edge of Wonder," writing in a statement that his organization was “aware of the entertainment show,” but “is in no way connected with it.”

But The Epoch Times has itself published several credulous reports on QAnon and for years, the webseries hosts Rob Counts and Benjamin Chasteen were employed as the company’s creative director and chief photo editor, respectively. In August 2018, six months after the creation of "Edge of Wonder," Counts tweeted that he still worked for Epoch Times. Counts and Chasteen did not respond to an email seeking clarification on their roles.

Tags at the bottom

“An elephant?” you ask, not believing Dean’s story at all.

Apparently, he walks by a room with the door open, saw a full-grown elephant with a towel, only to double check and see a big black man in its spot. There is nothing else left to check, so you three head back to the lobby.

“Yeah,” Dean sighs.

“Like, an elephant?”

“Like, full-on Babar.”

“So, what the hell is... where is everybody?” Sam trails off once he gets a look at the lobby.

Every single person is gone, and so is Chad. The lobby is deserted. You and Dean stay put while Sam goes to check the front doors. Just like you suspected, they are locked.

“Let me guess—it's locked. So, what, the roaches check in and they don't check out?” Dean asks.

“Think about how we got here. That detour on I-90? The fucking hurricane?” Sam exclaims.

“Are you saying we were led here?” you wonder.

“Like rats in a maze.”

“Who would want us?” you ask, and both brothers give you a bitch look since you’re asking an obvious question. “Who would want us and a hotel full of people? Usually, they come after us wherever we are. We don’t get led to places. Plus, where did everyone else go?”

“We should stick together this time,” Sam says.

You take the lead on this one and walk into the dining hall. There is no one in the room, so you continue on your way into the kitchen which is also empty. You take one step at a time, slowly making your way through the kitchen. There is nothing out of the ordinary except for a pot on the stove that’s bubbling. This should not be left alone, especially in a hotel. Dean walks closer to it with a scared look on his face.

“Please be tomato soup. Please be tomato soup,” he mutters and lift the ladle that’s resting inside the pot. As soon as it surfaces, two eyeballs do as well. He lets go of the ladle in disgust. “Motel hell.”

“I knew something wasn’t right,” you sigh and continue on your way.

There is something about the meat freezer that’s in front of you. There’s nothing wrong with it visually, but it’s like something is pulling you to it. When you get face to face with it, a hand slams against the tiny glass and a face appears.

“Help us! Get us out!” a man screams.

This must be where the hotel guests have gone. Sam reaches in his jacket to take out his lock picking tool kit, but you wave him off.

“I got this,” you say and your eyes turn blue.

Magic courses through your body from your eyes to your fingertips, showing off a stream of bright blue magic from underneath your skin. It’s like the magic is showing everyone how it works and where it’s going.

“Hurry up!” Dean yells.

“You know, I would go a lot faster if you didn’t,” you yell and turn around only to stop short when you see who is behind him, “rush me.”

“There's somebody behind me, isn't there?” he asks without turning around.

All you can do is nod slowly just as the color in your eyes and hands die out.

The three men who were behind Dean grabbed you, Sam, and Dean with force and brought you to the grand ballroom. They are a lot stronger than you, so you can’t use your magic to get yourself out of this one. The doors open and they shove you in to reveal a handful of people that look like they want to eat you.

Your eyes flit around the room and at the name badges these people wore. The big black man that Dean saw, his name is Ganesh. Ganesh is the elephant-head Hindu God of new beginnings. There is another man who is a lot older with a white beard—Odin. Odin is a war God in Norse mythology. A black woman with gorgeous black hair is named Kali. Kali is the Hindu Goddess of death, time, and doomsday. Another black man is named Baron Samedi. Baron Samedi is a Haitian God of the dead. There are others, but you assume they are also Gods of other things.

“Something tells me this isn't a Shriner convention,” Dean comments.

Chad, who is now named Mercury, pushes a food table into the room to serve dinner. Mercury is the Roman God of messengers. You knew there was something off about him.

“Dinner is served,” he announces and takes off the silver top that’s covering the course.

Like you suspected, there is a human head and his innards lying on the table for the Gods to eat. A round of applause erupts once they see the dinner plate. A spotlight suddenly appears and shines on the three of you. You shield your eyes from the brightness, and one of the main hosts steps forward with a smile. His name is Baldur, another Norse God that you can’t remember what he does.

“Ladies and Gentleman, our guests of honor have arrived,” he smiles. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. Although in all my centuries, I never thought I'd see this. This many gods under one roof.”

“Gods?” Dean whispers to you and Sam.

The men who brought you here shoves you three to chairs and makes you sit with you in the middle of the brothers. Every single God took their place at the dinner table so that everyone is sitting except for Baldur.

“Yeah, don’t you know your mythology?” you whisper back.

“Now, before we get down to brass tacks, some ground rules. No slaughtering each other. Curb your wrath. Oh, and uh, keep your hands off the local virgins. We're trying to keep a low profile here,” Baldur continues.

“Oh, we are so, so screwed,” Sam whispers.

“Now we all know why we're here. The Judeo-Christian apocalypse looms over us. I know we've all had our little disagreements in the past. The time has come to put those aside and look toward the future. Because if we don't, we won't have one. Now we do have three very valuable bargaining chips. Michael, Amara and Lucifer's vessels. The question is, what do we do now? Anybody have any bright ideas? Speak up. This is a safe room.”

Zao Shen, the kitchen God of Chinese folk and mythology, stands and speaks in Chinese. His tone is angry, and Dean turns to you and Sam with his eyebrows raised.

“Oh I do not like his tone,” he scoffs.

“Kill 'em? Why? So the angels can bring them back again?” Ganesh responds to the Chinese God.

“I don't know what everybody's getting so worked up about,” Odin speaks his mind. “'Cause it's just a couple of angels having a slap fight! There's no Armageddon. Everybody knows, when the world comes to an end, the Great Serpent Jormungandr rises up, and I myself will be eaten by a big wolf!”

Zao Shen speaks again in his native tongue, and Odin rolls his eyes in annoyance.

“Oh yeah? And why is that?” he asks as if he can understand the language. “Because your beliefs are so much more realistic? The whole world's getting carried around on the back of a giant turtle? Ha! Give me a break!”

Zao Shen hisses back in his native tongue with his finger pointed at Odin. The Norse God gets up as if he’s going to jump across the table and bitch slap him. Yours, Sam, and Dean’s eyebrows go up in surprise.

“What are you gonna do about it?”

Zao Shen responds back in Chinese. You have no clue what they are talking about, but this might be your clue to get out of here while they are fighting. They keep up with their verbal argument, and you look at Sam and Dean. They know what you’re thinking, and you three stand up to leave the room. As soon as your back is turned to the Gods, the chandelier by the door unhooks and drops to the ground in front of you.

“Stay,” Kali interrupts as she stands. You turn around to look at her with a glare. “We have to fight. The archangels—the only thing they understand is violence. This ends in blood. There is no other way, it's them, or us.”

“With all due respect, ma'am,” Mercury speaks up, “we haven't even tried talking to them.”

There is a brief pause as Kali stares at Mercury with slit eyes. He begins to choke up blood, and he claws at his tie as if that’s going to help him breathe.

“Kali!” Baldur stops whatever hold she has on the Roman God.

“Who asked you?” she points her question to Mercury.

Just then, the double doors to the grand ballroom opens and Gabriel comes wandering in like he owns the place.

“Can't we all just get along?”

“Gabriel?” you ask, but he cuts you off with a swipe of his fingers.

Whatever he did to you, he did to the Winchesters because you can’t speak at all.

“Sam! Dean, Y/N... It's always wrong place, worst time with you muttonheads, huh?”

“Loki,” Baldur sneers.

Wait, Loki? Do they not know who he is?

“Baldur. Good seeing you too. I guess my invitation got lost in the mail,” he chuckles.

“Why are you here?”

“To talk about the elephant in the room,” Ganesh begins to stand up, indignant, but Gabriel points a finger at him to stop him. “Not you. The Apocalypse. We can't stop it, gang. But first things first,” he turns to you three with a sarcastic smile. “The adults need to have a little conversation. Check you later.”

Gabriel snaps his fingers, and suddenly, you’re in your hotel room. Your eyes widen and you start stuttering to figure out what the hell just happened.

“Okay, did that—holy shit!”

“Yeah, tell me about it. By the way, next time I say let's keep driving, uh, let's keep driving.”

“Yeah, okay, next time,” Dean mocks.

“Okay, I guess we need to figure a way out of here. First things first, we need to save the people in the freezer. Then, if we’re lucky, we kill some Gods.”

“When are you ever lucky?” Gabriel says from across the room.

He is sitting on the black leather couch with his right leg crossed over his left.

“Bite me, Gabriel,” you glare.

“Maybe later,” he winks at you.

“I should've known. I mean this had your stink all over it from the jump,” Dean interrupts with a scoff.

“You think I'm behind this? Please. I'm the Costner to your Houston. I'm here to save your asses.”

“You wanna pull us outta the fire?”

“Bingo! Those guys are either gonna dust you or use you as bait. Either way, you're uber boned.”

“Wow, 'cause a couple of months ago you were telling us that we need to “play our roles”. You're uber boning us!” Dean yells.

“Oh, the end is still nigh. Michael and Lucifer are gonna dance the lambada, but not tonight. Not here.”

“Why do you care?” you ask.

“I don't care. But, me and Kali we, uh, had a thing. Chick was all hands. What can I say? I'm sentimental,” he chuckles and gets up to stand in front of you three.

“Do they have a chance against Satan?” Sam suddenly asks.

“Really, Sam?” Dean scoffs.

“You got a better idea, Dean?”

“It's a bad idea. Lucifer's gonna turn them into finger paint. So, let's get going while the going's good, hmm?”

“Okay, then zap us out of here,” you shrug.

“Would if I could, but Kali's got you by the short and curlies. It's a blood spell. You three are on a leash.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means it's time for a bit of the old black magic,” he chuckles and takes out breath spray.

He applies two spritzes in his mouth with a smile.

“Whatever. You do that, and we're gonna take the people in the freezer with us.”

“Forget it. It's gonna be hard enough sneaking you mooks outta here,” he rolls his eyes.

“They called you Loki, right? They don’t know who you really are?” you say and step forward to make sure he knows you’re not to be messed with.

“Told you. I'm in witness protection.”

“Okay, then how about you do what we say, or we’ll tell those Gods about your secret identity. They don’t seem like the pro-angel type of crowd,” you chuckle.

“I’ll take your voices away.”

“We’ll write it down,” you say as you take one step closer.

“I'll cut off your hands.”

“Do you really think that’ll stop me?” you ask as your eyes glow blue.

“Fine,” he huffs and backs off.

The color leaves your eyes, and you smile sweetly as he vanishes from the room. You turn to the brothers with a victory smile.

“That’s how you get things done around here.”
