Hidden Gems

Who doesn’t recognize Mickey Mouse? Even in a crowded space, those iconic round ears give him away—what enthusiasts call a hidden Mickey. Yet, Mickey’s origin lies in the recesses of Walt Disney’s mind, a place where the sun didn’t shine. Who would have envisioned that an imagination could birth a billion-dollar industry? Interestingly, Mickey wasn’t Walt’s initial foray into the idea race.…

i’m not sorry for this one

“These are hands?! Then why do I still have talons? You have short blunt talons, don’t you?” He made a lunge for Shen Qingqiu’s hand, only for it to hide itself in one voluminous sleeve. The crane’s excited twittering and general clinginess would have been easier to bear, Shen Qingqiu thought, if he was still a bird. Unfortunately, Shen Yuan had managed to at least partly cultivate a human form. Which was a problem in an of itself.

I had a very odd dream where a train (or bus?) I was on got yanked into another world. While my dream had nothing to do with SVSSS, it did have my waking self thinking about how hilarious and/or horrifying such a thing could be as an AU.

Imagine Shen Yuan riding the subway, train or bus one day, when something happens and his whole car gets yanked into the world of PIDW. Nobody else in the car knows anything about PIDW, so Shen Yuan finds himself with the self imposed task of keeping this eccentric group of strangers alive in a weird world full of demons, monsters, and aphrodisiac plants.

The group’s first assumption would probably be that they’re still on modern earth, and just got teleported somewhere. Their second assumption, if they come across common folk, might be they somehow ended up in the past.

Then they run into some monster, or people riding on swords with specific uniforms, or a commoner mentions a name or event only Shen Yuan recognizes. The rest of the party debates what sort of Xianxia or Wuxia world they’ve ended up in, while poor Shen Yuan sweats bullets. He knows exactly what world they are in, and they are so screwed.

I have this image of poor beleaguered nerd Shen Yuan successfully protecting and leading this group of primary school kids, their cute teacher, and a handful of grannies and grandpas, while all the other adults and older teens keep wandering off and getting themselves in trouble.

just thinking about how binghe had no idea that without-a-cure even had a cure and he spent all his years as a disciple thinking his shizun would at best be disabled for the rest of his life and at worst die a slow and painful death, and it was to save him.

Considering how popular Qijiu and Liujiu are as a ships, and that a lot of people seem to headcanon Liu Qingge as having at least crushed on Yue Qingyuan for a while, I'm surprised there aren't more throuple/OT3 fics for them.

I mean not actually because it would be such a bad idea. They would have so many problems. There would be so many hurdles, like even just getting two of these guys to hookup usually involves some degree of truth serum or cosmic intervention or fuck-or-die scenarios, but embroiling all three of them in something like that would just let their bizarro brain worms thrive. Each of them is convinced that they are somehow the third wheel. Shen Jiu thinks that the only thing stopping Liu Qingge from plotting to kill him is that he's not clever enough to plot, and that Yue Qingyuan is enduring his inclusion under sufferance of guilt. Liu Qingge thinks that Shen Jiu is definitely actively plotting to kill him to get him out of the way, and that Yue Qingyuan is enduring his inclusion under sufferance of guilt. Yue Qingyuan is sure that any day now Liu Qingge and Shen Jiu are going to figure out that they're actually perfect for one another and then eject him from the polycule. They are all not speaking to each other but also regularly having furniture-shattering sex. Despite everything, the sex improves their dispositions so much that none of the other peak lords dare to intervene.

the main (read: only) reason that I actually legit like the "lan wangji as chief cultivator" ending of cql (as opposed to many other people, I have gathered) is specifically because he's horribly unsuited for it and i find it really, really funny.

lan wangji, who has spent his entire life being incredibly Not Involved in wider society, suddenly in charge of the whole cultivation world. forced to take total responsibility for cultivation politics. he'll hate it so much. get wreckt buddy

Shen Jiu is Yue Qingyuan's daemon

PIDW Daemon idea where Shen Jiu is Yue Qingyuan's daemon. Shen Jiu took on a human form because Trauma (first he tried on a human form to beg for money and food because Yue Qingyuan was on the brink of starving to death and a monkey form wasn't cutting it), then they were separated unnaturally so by the Qiu family who had no idea that Shen Jiu was a daemon.

Then Shen Jiu pushes Yue Qi to escape the Qiu family to safety thinking that he would be able to shift forms - Yue Qi wasn't adult yet so surely Shen Jiu hadn't settled into the final form, right? - only for him to discover that

uh

he did settle in that form due to too many injuries the Young Master Qiu inflicted on him.

Who would have ever thought that the Qing Jing peak lord was a daemon, huh.

Is Wen Ning third wheeling? Yes, of course… someone save him

lan zhan had to do it to ‘em

Another for the Crane Husband au— eventually he’ll cultivate a human form (and won’t SQQ be surprised!)

I blame @rarepears for the brainrot :3

Beast peak's disciple Shen Yuan? Yeah 😌

[lgbtlunaverse]

One thing that's fucking hilarious about the modao-guidao distinction is how cql just fucking wrecks it. Because it was apparently sooooo scary and immoral for wwx to raise his friend from the dead they had to assure us that Wen Ning was simply grievously injured and never fully died so no that guy walking around deathly pale with black marks on his neck isn't a corpse, thank you very much. But because Zixuan's gotta die Wen Ning can still be controlled via evil music which means Wei Wuxian has now turned a living human being into a puppet. The literal definition of modao.

I mean they also made him not the inventor of it, so I guess the title grandmaster of demonic cultivation is still inaccurate just like it was for the books, just in a different way lmao.
