Does anyone have any SVSSS headcanons for the Peaklords/The Peaks?

Looking for potential ideas for Disciple! Era peaklords! or even better Previous Generation! Peaklords

My headcanons are:

1) Mu Qingfang is the oldest of the peaklords, not like decades older, but many a solid 5 or 6 years compared to the other peaklords. I don't know, he just gives off "Why am I an adult forced to keep app these children alive alone" vibes.

2) A previous Bai Zhan Peaklord from before Liu Qingge made a tradition where all Bai Zhan disciples are to 'raid' Qing Jing peak and grab an item of high value. This tradition began simply as a way for the then Qing Jing Peaklord to visit Bai Zhan and so they both had an excuse to meet 'to discuss discipline'. All Bai Zhan Peaklords have maintained this tradition in order to playfully prank their friend Qing Jing Peaklord or so they had an excuse to visit each other. It's only in recent times (Liu Qingge's time) that the once playful raids have turned serious, with damages to both peaks at an all time high.

3) Shang Qinghua and Mu Qingfang both have a collective supply of watermelon seeds and alcohol that they share after every meeting. No one knows how it started, just that the two will meet after the meeting, go to one of their peaks, and just eat and drink to relief their stress. Reports say that after these meetings Mu Qingfang usually has some sort of medical revelation that solves hundreds of diseases they'd been concerned over for years (Shang Qinghua is using everything he remembers from his drafts to tell Mu Qingfang how to solve the same deadly disease that wife #561 from the Moonwhisperer tribe had and the other way of curing it that didn't include PAPAPA that he half-thought up as a way to make the scene seem actually thought out and like the worldbuilding was still in one piece).

4) Xian Shu teaches its disciples ways to poison enemies with needles, how to disguise themselves in mere minutes, and disarm enemies in a quick, often described as elegant' way. This fighting style was perfected by Qi Qingqi during her disciple hood, earning her place as the Head Disciple. She teaches Liu Mingyan and Liu Mingyan uses this style against Sha Hualing. The reason (SY) Shen Qingqiu couldn't see their fight was because the Xian Shu style allowed for Liu Mingyan's attacks to be near instant at a blinding speed. However, the fighting style also teaches the disciples to know when they are outmatched, leading Liu Mingyan to surrender as she realises Sha Hualing was too strong for her at her current state. Present day Liu Mingyan can put up a good fight against Sha Hualing as she now has her spiritual sword.

5) The reason Qian Cao disciples are more respected than An Ding disciples is due to the fact that most Bai Zhan disciples have a deeply rooted respect for them, often acting as defenders for them, due to the fact that Bai Zhan disciples are often at the mercy of Qian Cao disciples during healing. It's also due to the fact that many disciples of other peaks have horror stories of suspicious sightings at Qian Cao in the middle of the night, often swearing up and down that they saw a ghost, only for a Qian Cao disciple to smile and shake their head and insist they were only seeing things. No one wants to know what Qian Cao is hiding.

(I have a few more headcanons, but I'll probably write them in another post. Maybe some of these might be disproven in Canon, but remember Canon is but a guideline and SVSSS haven't seen Canon in a long time.)

[shrimp-dumpling]

would Yanqing be a Bai Zhan brute or some other peak's disciple?

Would Yanqing be Bai Zhan's brute or Bai Zhan's only person who actually thinks before drawing their sword?

Would Jing Yuan be Yanqing's parent or Yanqing's older brother? Or would he be Yanqing's big cat that he carries around?

Would Yanqing be the mother hen of the Bai Zhan disciples (cuz we all know they were abused) or would he be the Bai Zhan cub?

Would Yanqing be the 2nd oldest discple or the 2nd youngest?

[dopaminepoisoning]

Bai Zhan doing mad amounts of yoga etc. Because to do all of their crazy fighting moves they have to be bendable asf.

[ineffectualdemon]

Yue Qingyuan: it turns out one of our disciples was secretly a demon

Liu Qingge: I knew it!

Yue Qingyuan: unfortunately Luo Binghe has escaped with-

Liu Qingge: what! That can't be right!

Yue Qingyuan: Liu-shi-

Liu Qingge: No! Luo Binghe made me sweets! Shen Qingqiu's brat released chickens in my house! You got the wrong kid!

Shen Qingqiu to Shen Yuan: chickens?

Shen Yuan: he'd been avoiding me and I was annoyed about it

Shen Qingqiu: ...good boy. You will get extra pocket money this month

Liu Qingge: SEE!?!?!

[tiredbitchposts]

Ok, but Shen Jiu being Shen Yuan's father is so funny in a very tragic way. Shen Jiu is a ball of traumas and all types of issues and i truly believe there's not a single one that man doesn't have, so, you give him a baby!Shen Yuan, a little ball of life that depends on him for survival, cannot walk away from him and is culturally wired to pretty much love him and if not, to at the least respect him above all else, you cannot tell me that this man would be normal about him. Also, imagine Shen Jiu, who'd be the type of parent to project traumas the way only a mother could, having a child that looks like him but with a "sweeter" personality (which, by the way, is bullshit, they just have never seen that boy rip into a book he disliked but wouldn't stop reading) that has the effect on men Shen Yuan has, he'd lock that boy up in a tower to "cultivate" and consequently create a rumor about the Qing Jing's beauty who was so bewitching their peak lord father locked them in a tower because that's just his luck. Loving Shen Yuan wouldn't fix him, but it'd create a whole new set of issues that'd cancel out the other ones

[benevolenterrancy]

"Heavens, he doesn't understand again." "Every time he says 'I don't understand', Lui-shixiong grabs someone to demonstrate until he understands..." Ji Jue quietly complained to Shang Qinghua. No wonder the injuries at Bai Zhan Peak had only increased!

so this is obviously Liu Qingge's entire love language, right?

[starry-bi-sky]

The first time disciple Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu meets Liu Qingge, it is during a Bai Zhan peak raid. And what ends up happening is that Shen Qingqiu gets kicked in the jaw with such force he feels his teeth clack together unpleasantly. And frustrated with his situation, the system, and quite frankly a ton of other little things that have been building up over the course of the last few weeks, he feels something snap in the back of his mind like that of a rubber band after being stretched too far.

What ends up happening is that Shen Qingqiu turns and locks onto the very first figure he can see that is dressed in grey-and-white like a homing missile, and then with the force of a twin-tailed mountain tiger, lunges towards said figure with an equally menacing snarl.

He ends up taking the Bai Zhan peak disciple by utter surprise, and they both collide into the ground in a tangle of angry yelling and limbs. What ends up happening is that Liu Qingge gets the subsequent wind knocked out of him and pinned into the dirt by a Qing Jing peak disciple who is filled with the might and fury of a scholar having their peaceful afternoon interrupted and a once-grown-man re-experiencing puberty.

It is with that might and fury that Liu Qingge meets the wild, frenzied eyes of Shen Qingqiu, with his lips pulled back into a truly ferocious scowl. Shen Qingqiu hisses out, with such force it makes his voice rasp, as if he might as well sink his teeth into Liu Qingge's throat and rip it out; "Get the fuck off my mountain."

Liu Qingge is so shocked by -- well, quite a many things, but most importantly the fact that he has been pinned, and the way the sun is bouncing off this boy's face, -- that his brain needs five seconds to reboot. It's five seconds too long, because by the time he registers what just happened, Shen Yuan has clambered off him and disappeared. Gone and thrown himself into the closest dust cloud scuffling in order to unleash the rest of his fury on the other Bai Zhan Peak kids.

Qing Jing Peak experiences an unfortunate uptick in Bai Zhan disciple visits -- specifically of the Liu Qingge variety. Specifically Liu Qingge, actually. Who very much wants to find the boy that managed to get one over on him and demand a rematch. (Or maybe kiss him.)

Bai Zhan Learning Style

I think Liu Qingge did teach his students

Wordlessly. Probably with gestures the students recognized, but a narrator like SQQ didn't. To him, it just looked like he was beating them up.

A teaching style so completely opposite to the modern schooling that SQQ wouldn't have registered it as teaching. A teaching style that would never work to teach SQQ anything, but would be great for some types of kids that fall through the cracks of the modern educational system.

Kids who worked better with a more traditional classroom style would hate it, but that doesn't matter, because everyone on Bai Zhan is there by choice.

[shrimp-dumpling]

Hey. What if

What if i threw Yanqing and Capitano together. On baizhan peak.

No, actually

What if i made capitano adopt luo binghe

No, actually— CAPITANO AND MOBEI-JUN???

No no wait, Capitano looming over Yanqing menacingly while bro's just explaining to his cute little shidis what to do on their first mission and some of them being terrified of their shixiong with some particularly thinking capitano is cool asf

Yanqing: voice of reason

Capitano: "wdym i wasn't suppose to kill them" while being surrounded by death and gore and corpses (of beasts)

The (younger) disciples: ducklings

[zenlosingit]

One of the funniest ideas I’ve had when creating ideas of Bingqiu having kids is what if one of their kids makes the declaration one day that they want to be a Bai Zhan disciple.

It has to be an absolute record-scratch moment when they hear their kiddo go “i wanna join Bai Zhan!” when asked about which peak they’d choose at Cang Qiong, and the look of horror Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu share when that declaration sinks in.

Cause they have provided the best education for their children since the day they’re born— fitting for a heir of the Demon realm and child to the 2nd ranked peak lord of Cang Qiong. They’ve gone to great links curate lessons plans to their children’s needs, get the best tutors for any subject they’re not acknowledging in, and this one wants to choose the peak of sword-wielding brutes???

Oooh you better believe that Bingqiu are trying everything to convince their kid to choose someplace else— anything else besides Bai Zhan. If they don’t wanna choose Qing Jing that’s fine, stings but it’s fine, there’s plenty more to choose from!

You can learn plenty more about leadership at Qiong Ding if your heart's set on ruling, or there's Qian Cao whose a very respectable choice there's nothing to sneeze at for all those medical skills. If it’s about swords then Wan Jian fits the bill! And yah know, An Ding isn't that terrible.

Just for the love of god, don't choose Bai Zhan.

[gaywarcriminals]

I’ve seen jokes about the absurdity of Liu Qingge and Bai Zhan, the chaotic, dirty, monster destroying, fighters peak, wearing white robes, so I’d like to present a theory:

Laundry is punishment for not being good enough to dodge.

Part of being a good fighter is bodily awareness. You need to know where you are in space/in relation to your opponent at all times. You need to keep your stance and movement well controlled to not leave any gaps in your defenses.

Having mud on your hem means you weren’t aware of yourself or of your environment

Having tears means you didn’t dodge fast enough.

Having blood stains either means you failed to evade or that you didn’t have the good sense not to stand the blood spray as you behead a monster.

Washing out all the stains and mending their robes is the punishment, the natural consequences of these failures.

If they don’t scrub diligently enough, all their peak mates will see the marks of their failure in combat every day.

Scum villain Tangled au where Liu Qingge accidently kidnaps Shen Yuan, the son Shen Qingqiu keeps locked up in a tower in Qing Jing (Look, Shen Jiu has some issues, ok? Don't criticize his parenting, the kid is fine, he's just cultivating away from disgusting men, he socializes with his shimei just fine and the sect leader visits, sometimes, when he's allowed, not that much, actually, mind your business) then takes him to see some beasts before his father comes back from seclusion and sees he left his tower.
