You know what doesn't exist on the entire internet? A map of the world of Kyou Kara Maoh. Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm not going to let that stand in my way.
I culled all the map pieces from three seasons of the Anime and let me tell you something: the art team didn't have any kind of a map either, because there were like, three different depictions of where Caloria was. I blended them as best I could and tried to come up with something that sort of made sense and accounted for the places Yuuri and the gang travel to. I divided Cimaron into 9 provinces for my story so I added them to the map since it's my map and I can do what I like. If Amazon can frick with the geography of Middle Earth I can muck about with geography that doesn't even exist.
I'll probably add some mountain ranges at some point, the eastern continent is really flat. If I make any additions to the map I'll reblog the changes to this post with the same tags.
If you write for KKM and want to use my map (unlikely), feel free. Just be sure to credit me.

"And who, exactly, are you?"
Dorian gave the witch one of those charming smiles and sketched a bow. "Dorian Havilliard, at your service."

So often alt-Earth worldbuilding falls apart under the slightest bit of pressure: what if every human on earth from birth had a sentient, speech-capable, physical manifestation of their soul that could shape shift and eventually settled on a form that revealed some inner truth about your person would that not radically alter the course of human history? To which the answer, apparently, was 'not in any meaningful way, no.'
Live theater in the His Dark Materials universe must be wild. Surely an actor's daemon also has lines to recite, so their daemon's form probably also factors into casting decisions. Maybe some plays have vague character descriptions for daemons, but I bet other plays have really specific or central daemon characters. And sure, big-budget theaters can afford to hire a separate actor with a particular daemon to stand backstage while their daemon plays its part onstage, but community theaters don't have those kinds of resources.
Like if you're casting for Julius Caesar, surely the real historical Caesar had a pretty iconic daemon, right? Are you going to cast an actor with a pigeon daemon as Caesar and just have everyone suspend their disbelief that it's Caesar's lioness, áŒÎŒÎ±ÏÏία?
#I mean fundamentally the addition of daemons magnified the presence of tripping hazards times the entirety of the human population#it would have severly impacted the nature of domestication#and when you start eliminating house pets you effect everything from the Odyssey to grumpy cat#was Jesus's daemon crucified too?#NO SERIOUSLY DID THEY ALSO CRUCIFY JESUS DAEMON?#to CREATE Jesus we need to create a Hebrew religon that becomes temple-era judaism#With its heavy emphasis on animal sacrifice#In such a way that it accomodates every person in the scriptures having a talking animal companion#in order to create a state that could be conquered by the Romans to create conditions under which a Jesus could arise and be crucified#Understand this: it presupposes a version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms with TWO THOUSAND CHARACTERS#Since ever Generals Tom Dick and Zhang now also has a daemon#but not in such a way that it materially so distorts history language and culture#So that Will and Lyra can find one-another foreign but not alien#and every nation state in Lyra's world feels just like the one's in ours with some serial numbers filed off#every 'great figure' was unaffected by the potential increase in the odds of tripping over a nearby soul mongoose and breaking their neck#and hey what if I'm a Mongolian on the steppe and my daemon turns into a narwhal#Or an uncontacted pacific islander and suddenly my daemon becomes some northern european mammal no one's ever seen#I can't help it my soul is a mastodon that doesn't fit on the island or a boat please don't outcast me#âHe had a horse daemon so I just assumed he'd also be... y'know...â#in the throws of passion his walrus demon crushed my mouse demon oops now my soul is dead#the conditions that create modern Britain ahve so many inflection points that it is incocievable that such a massive change in the firmname#of humanity would still create Lyra's oh-so-recognizable Brytain

i really need to figure out what the main overarching plot of post-ph is. i had some ideas in the past but they no longer fit with never ideas, and god once i get the main plot down i can start figuring out everything around it
#cuz its like. i need to pinpoint what and when the main plot stuff is. bc while yeah they're exploring the sea bc they want to#but the vague idea of where they're going is like. they're looking for stuff for this plot. we got dungeons and maybe some other stuff#its likely going to be some flavor of uhhhhh demons (probably) trying to kill people. but that feels like. uncreative and kinda nothing#the core of this thing is mean to be more character focused on the crew but i do want them to go on this big quest and engage with all that#theres some stuff with. briefly visiting old hyrule and i think i might want to go with smt hthats like#finally putting to rest the remnants of hyrule and lay to rest anything still clinging to that hyrule and trying to bring it back#a bit engaging with that curse of demise in the sense that its meant to cause doom to befall the kingdom of hyrule as long as it exists#so its like. hey hyrule is gone. like completely. but some of these fuckers act like it still exists and no one fucks with that actually#with a side of good god just let us chill. its all kinda blurry but its like. dusting up what remains of hyrule and the conflicts it caused#with maybe a little bit like. monsters are kinda chilling sometimes? and are a people unto themselves? and the great sea is becoming like#a lot of peoples' homes and the further from literal hyrule you get the better things are with more fish and different cultures#so uhh. some typical loz stuff with some ww ideas and light worldbuilding and character stuff??? lots to figure out#but i need to figure out that fucking main plot#salty talks#post-ph

The Pirate King of the North
Main Themes: Villain Sanji, Alternate Universe, Zosan Ship
AU where Straw Hat Pirates meet old Sanji from a reality where Reiju didn't have emotions.
Warning: Long post ahead and some One Piece spoilers. Contains strong language.
Part 2
Young Zoro hates the fucker but those scars and piercings are doing a number to his soul.
Old Sanji's story goes like this:
He didn't experience compassion from anyone else aside from his mother, who--you know what happened.
Judge kept him locked away until he was 13. He had him released when he was deemed too broken to do anything, and he was apparently a waste of space. As far as the world was concerned, he was already dead. He gets left behind at some random pirate town in the North.
His swirly brows were recognized by the pirates who took him in--only for him to be enslaved because people would pay a lot to have their way with royalty.
He picked up some skills from the other slaves and became cunning af--because he had to be.
At 17 he started a revolt against the slaver pirates, effectively taking over as their new pirate captain.
He became the feared "Mr. Prince" and his words are as sharp as his bite.
He's underweight because he doesn't give two shits about good food.
"The All Blue? It's nothing but an old fishwive's tale," he says.
He used his cunning mind and new pirate crew to hunt down and kill his own father from the shadows.
He enslaved his own siblings and becomes the new ruler of Germa Kingdom. Over the years, he used them for warfare and expanded the territory of the North.
His heart is a bottomless pit for power and control.
He had a fling or two or several with is closely allied with Doflamingo because god damn they're both mad like that. The alliance eventually lead to direct connections with Celestial Dragons.
Sanji gains more power and becomes the notorious "Pirate King of the North"
Meanwhile at the other side of the world, Luffy didn't make it as far as he could have without a good cook.
Luffy would have recruited one from Baratie but the restaurant was absolutely destroyed before the smaller Straw Hat crew could make a difference. Some of the staff didn't make it.
Zoro left the crew when it fell apart at some point.
Due to Zoro's reputation and bounty that he had occurred during his limited time with Luffy, he was offered a position as a Warlord, ultimately taking over the late Jinbe's old role. He accepted and served for several years before he was assigned a job that he didn't know would be the most challenging one yet.
The Celestial Dragons didn't like the fact that Sanji had started to have more worldly control over their own, so Zoro was quietly assigned to hunt down the great Pirate King of the North. Zoro accepted because he felt that he needed more experience before he could take on Mihawk again.
Zoro quickly realised that this mission is not a walk in the park.
Sanji loves toying with the Demon Warlord so he insists on taking him on by himself.
It becomes an endless game of cat and mouse. Sometimes Sanji chases and sometimes he runs, sometimes he wins and sometimes he loses.
They're at each others' throats everywhere in the world. Any person, city or being of any kind that gets in the way usually gets torn apart in the chaos. The hunt goes on for a lifetime. They're currently in their 50's.
Zoro severs Sanji's left arm during one huge fight.
Because of this, Sanji relentlessly tries to get Zoro to marry him to use him in so many ways he can think of--both as an asset and under the sheets--oh the things that he wants the swordsman to do and beg for.
Sanji likes to refer to the tiniest scar on his lip as "Zoro's love bite"
He was about to get a nice fresh one on his chest when some fuckers teleported him away.
Hearing old Sanji's backstory was a bit much. It was young Zoro's turn to have a nosebleed that day.
----------
Oh yes I had fun drawing old silver fox, damaged Sanji. I wish I have the time to colour it up. I've also been very much into reading AU stories, especially soul brand ones. Keep them coming, you beautiful people.
Edit: Woo! I finally decided to make my own AO3 account. It's about time. Link here for the story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60686077

The Hero and Hope (5/5)
(Part 1) (Part 2)Â (part 3) (part 4)
Last Time
The crack under the door lights with a sickly purple. The smell of ozone seeps into the manor. For a moment there is a silence so complete you think youâve been struck. What was that? Magic? Youâve never seen magic before--
Screams rocket across the field. The Blacksmithâs screams. The Bakerâs screams. Marieâs rage-filled howls.
âDEMON KING!â
Your Destiny burns.
---.
You have dreams the closer you get to turning fifteen. Dreams of a kingdom in the sky, a kingdom heard in the roiling clouds and in the cracks of lightning that splinter through them. This kingdom howls and chatters and hungers.
You dream that you are under these clouds. Your necks aches from staring up into them. Youâre alone in a field of dead wheat and the stalks whisper prophecies whenever the kingdom above falls silent. Rivers will run with blood, flesh will lay torn across the streets, no child can hideâ
In these dreams, you arenât afraid. There is an answering snarl in your chest for every howl and prophecy you hear.
You wonât have your way. You wonât win.
Iâm the Hero.
When the storm sends down a funnel of demon bats (or horned rabbits or screaming goblins or demon wolves), you leap to meet them.
------.
This isnât a dream.
Your hands slide down from the door. Hera and Josiah are frozen in place, eyes wide and unseeing as the demon kingâs presence steals the oxygen from the room. You take a step back. Then another.
All doors and windows are blocked on this level. But this manor has more than one floor.
The fighting resumes outside before Sarah realizes what youâre doing.
âIsla!â She has the strength of a mother when she grabs you this time. Your nearly choke as your collar is pulled taught against your throat by her grip on your sleeve. âWhere do you think youâre going?â
âTo fight,â you wheeze before you can think better of it.
âAbsolutely not.â Sarah attempts to pull you back, but youâre braced against her now. She grabs your sleeve with both hands. âThe knights have it handledââ
âNot thisââ
ââyouâre to stay here.â Sarahâs lip trembles and she squares her jaw to hide it. The younger kids are holding onto her skirts, eyes wide as they stare up at you. âUnderstood?â
Afraid. Sheâs so afraid for you, so determined to keep you safe this time. You can see that winter seven years ago like you never have before; when you held the door and lost your hope in heroes, she never once looked away from your narrow back.
You have never been alone.
âTake care,â you say as gently as you can. Then, as she draws breath to speak, you rip yourself from her grasp. Your sleeve tears and Sarahâs eyes fall to your arm.
She gasps. âIslaââ
You shoulder your way through the villagers and thunder upstairs. The grand staircase leads to a hall of doors and you throw open the one at the end indiscriminately. You get the impression of books, leather furniture, a black feather quill, but it all blurs when your eyes fall on the door leading to the balcony.
That will do.
You burst out into unrelenting sunlight. Shouldnât it be storming? In your dreams, itâs always storming. The garden is a mess of turned earth and splintered party tables. The knightsâ armor flash rays of sun and the orcs â great, fleshy beasts with hardly any neck and black-sclera eyes â undulate like mountains below. You can see that some orcs are down, their giant bodies strewn across the ground, but it hardly seems to make a difference.
Not when thereâs a Demon King.
You climb up onto the railing to get a better look. Heâs half-hidden by the fighting, almost lounging against the treeline. Heâs more human than you expected with dark, shaggy hair, and a bored look on his face. Canines the length of your index finger poke over his thin lower lip. Without the fangs, heâd be a traveling merchant, one of the ones who turned up their nose when they realized that the home they were visiting was an orphanage and not that of an affluent family.
As you watch, that sickly purple magic crackles at his fingertips. You follow his gaze to where Ivan and Marie are fighting back-to-back. The Lord is standing defiantly behind them, his horse slain mere yards away. The Lord is staring a challenge at the Demon King.
This is my land. You can see his mouth form the words, but canât hear him over the clashing of swords and the twanging of Marieâs bow. Did he lose his voice? His exhaustion drags at his face, just visible under his fury. Green power seeps from him and into the ground as he emphasizes his Lordâs claim. You wonât have it.
The Demon King smirks. His hand twitches and purple magic soars into the sky. It arcs over the orcsâ heads, ten feet, fifteen feet, ten feet, five feetâ
Ivan catches the bolt on his shield, a cry leaving his lips as the magic splashes around the edges and tears at his skin. You can smell burning flesh and ozone. Ivan falls to one knee and Marie snarls as she blocks an orcâs blow with the curve of her bow. She manages to kick the beast away, but her distraction costs her. This time Lord Brennan has to block the orc swinging a mace down upon their heads. His connection to the land wavers and the Demon Kingâs smirk widens into a smile.
Something in your chest cracks and you see gold.
Your destiny is like a flame on your shoulder. It drips down your arm and into your hand. Golden light is burning there and with a barely a thought, it takes the form of a spear. You hoist the spear over your shoulder and hurl it with your full strength at the ground between the orcs advancing on Marie, Ivan and Lord Brennan.
The ground shatters. The orcs are thrown back. Marie, already kneeling at Ivanâs side, jerks her gaze up to you. You see her mouth form your name.
The Demon King is as loud as he is in your dreams. âHERO!â
The word alone strikes fear in the orcs. Stupidly, a few look up at you and fail to block the next blows from the knights. One squeals and turns to the forest. You barely notice the knights chase after it.
âIsla?â
âDonâtââ
âGo back inside, his magic is too--!â
The Demon King hisses a spell. Itâs fast, not the slow and contemptuous arc of power heâd thrown at the lord. Without thinking, you swipe your arm. Itâs still drenched with the golden glow of your power and the air rings when the Demon Kingâs spell connects. You feel the blow vibrate through your bones. The magic crackles and your own power rises to meet it, filling your view with sun-bright light that washes over everything.
When the light clears, youâre still standing.
âImpossible,â the demon king says.
On instinct, you lift a hand above your head. Something presses against your palm and you grab it, drawing it down in front of you. A sword drenched in a golden haze follows. Heroâs sword. You point it at the demon king in a silent declaration. Your destiny is choking you, but your message is clear.
His lips curl in a snarl. âAttack!â
You leap down from the balcony as the demon kingâs army surges. An orc charges you the moment you land, his eyes filled with the demon kingâs command. He towers over you, but youâre strong enough to haul a half dozen fence posts on your own. You catch the club he swings at your head and launch him back in the same motion. He falls back a dozen steps and you follow him, slashing at his throat with your sword of light.
Youâre on to the next monster before his body hits the ground.
You are new to your power, but you arenât alone. Knights scream their second wind and fall on the monstersâ backs when their masterâs command stupidly makes them turn away. A corner of your mind shrinks at the smell of blood and worse, at the sight of bodies under your feet, at the sound of armor crunching under heavy blows, but your power blocks it out. You move through the battlefield with an overwhelming, single-minded purpose.
Demon King.
âDonât understandââ
Who is that? Your senses tell you itâs not an enemy. You duck when an orc swings a meaty fist at your head and then blink when someone severs its arm before you can.
âItâs okay, Isla,â someone says. âWeâre here.â
â--sheâs fourteenââ
âArgue about it later, protect her now.â
âRight.â
The Demon King isnât relaxed when you see him next. His lips are pulled back so far you can see all his teeth. Heâs commanding his monsters to stop you, to kill you, to put their bodies between you and him. One orc is bigger than the rest, a vibrant red instead of fleshy pink. It plants itself squarely in front of its master and raises a mace the length of your body.
Your power wonât let you falter, but your mind balks. Can you catch that? Block it? Those spikes are as long as your armâ
An arrow sprouts from the orcâs throat. It blinks stupidly and the purple haze clears from its eyes. Another arrow finds its mark in said eye and the beast steps back hesitantly as if unsure if its okay or not. The third arrow lets it know itâs not.
âKeep your sword tip up, Isla.â
âYouâre training her now?â
âOn your left, Marie!â
The Demon King must be cocky because he doesnât try to run until itâs too late. The orc falls and his eyes widen in surprise to see you still coming for him. Youâre close enough to see the color of them now, a red as deep and terrible as whatâs drenching your hand.
Purple magic crackles. Itâs not a spell â heâs too afraid for that â but the destructive power is unreal. The earth splinters to either side of you, causing your allies to falter for a moment. You deflect the bolt aimed for you and it explodes overhead like fireworks.
âNo,â the Demon King breathes. He stumbles back and tries to ward you off with hands drenched in power. âNo, I do not fall here! I am King! I am ultimate! I amââ
You throw your sword. You never really learned how to use one and this motion is more natural. For a moment, you see your Heroâs sword like your sharpened stick, sailing into the throat of a horned rabbit. Then you blink and itâs the Demon King with your sword through his meck. Blood bubbles at the corners of his mouth. One of his long-nailed hands comes up to try and grab the hilt. Youâve pierced him through.
The Demon King falls like his orcs. Confused and unsure of his own demise.
You come back to yourself the moment you feel his power die. Thereâs crashing through the woods as the remaining four orcs turn to flee. Absently, you mark their paths.
If the knights donât get them, you will.
The details of the battle filter back to you gradually, like the sound returning to a forest after a rockslide. The memories of each blow you dealt tremble up your arms and the smell of one orcâs fetid breath makes you suck in a breath. That of course drags new horrible smells into your lungs and you cough so hard you gag.
A warm hand pats your back. âThere, there,â Ivan says. He sounds tired. âThe first one is always rough. Vomiting is okay.â
Marie grabs your hand before you can rub your face. âDonât touch your eyes. Orc blood is corrosive.â
You twist, blinking tears out of your vision. You tremble as the memory of battle becomes fresher and fresher. You croak, âIâm an orphan, you know.â
Ivan looks taken aback. Then understanding washes over his face. âWeâre acting like your parents, arenât we? We were going to ask you after the party.â
The nausea temporarily subsides. âWhat?â
âSheâs in shock,â Marie scolds Ivan. She fishes a clean handkerchief out of her bodice and uses it to dab under your eyes. âWe want to adopt you, Isla. If youâll have us as parents?â
You stare at them. âIââ you clear your throat. âI just meant we donât actually know when my birthday is. Because Iâm an orphan. I might be fifteen after all.â
âOh.â Ivan opens his mouth. Closes it. âWell, do you be our daughter anyway?â
âMore than anything,â you say and then vomit right onto the demon kingâs corpse.
---------.
Things are both complicated and not after that.
The questions you thought were coming never get asked. Sarah isnât upset you hid your Destiny from her and neither are any of the kids. Theyâre just relieved youâre alive.
Hera buries her face in your stomach before dinner that night. The Bahrs have invited you all to stay over until the last of the orcs are caught. Hera smells like their bath oils when she says, âI held the door, Isla. Nobody got in.â
Thereâs a lump in your throat as you pet her damp hair. âYou did. You were very brave.â
âI helped,â Josiah says. Unlike Hera, he eyes your arm from a distance. Your mark is covered in a fresh cotton shirt, but itâs like he can see it anyway. Finally he collapses into you. âItâs not fair. Youâre our Hero. Now youâre going to have be everyoneâs.â
You lean down to press a kiss into his hair. âIâm too mean to be everyoneâs Hero. Iâll just be yours, okay?â
âGood,â Josiah says. Then, after a long moment. âThough you should be nicer to us now.â
âNo,â you say fondly.
The complicated part comes when the Bahrs enter the dining room after Sarah has gotten you all seated.
Ivanâs arm is in a sling, but he smiles widely when he sees the spread Josiah, Annie and Sarah have cooked up. He compliments them on their efforts, thanks them, and takes a seat at the head of the table.
Marie pauses by you before she takes her seat. She lingers by your chair until you turn to look at her. âIsla.â
You swallow. âMarie.â
Is it just you or is Marie as nervous as you are?
âWould youâŠsit by me?â she asks. Her eyes flick to the seat just to the right of her side of the table. You may not be a noble, but you know what that seat means.
Your voice wavers. Youâre suddenly very conscious of the kids looking at you, of the way Sarahâs pressed a hand to her mouth. In surprise? To hide her pleasure? âIfâif I can?â
âYes,â Marie says quickly. âYes, if you donât mind, I mean, if youâre able to be drawn awayââ
Lord Brennan throws open the dining room doors with an astonishing crash. He isnât dressed for company and his long sleeping robe is drenched with the water still dripping from his hair. âI am starving. Is thereââ He catches sight of the table and his mouth drops open in surprise. âYou were all about to have dinner? Without me?â
âYou were in a coma, my lord,â Ivan says.
âI was taking a nap,â Lord Brennan corrects. His golden eyes catalogue the way Marie is standing over you, the three empty seats at the end of the table opposite Ivan. Rather than claiming the empty head of the table seat, he strides over to Ivan. âUp, up you get.â
âThereâs another seat you can take!â Ivan complains. He guards his plate of food. âI just served myself.â
âGo sit with your wife and daughter,â Lord Brennan commands. He nearly sits on Ivan when the other man stands too slowly. He smiles charmingly at Sarah. âDirector. Fancy seeing you here.â
Sarah flushes up to her ears.
âDaughter?â Hera asks.
Your stomach turns over. Oh god. Itâs not fair that they asked you â you were too happy to think about it, but the other kids must be devastatedâ
But Hera doesnât look sad. Sheâs staring at you for an answer, her eyes open and accepting.
âY-yeah,â you say.
âHell yeah,â Josiah says. âIf the Bahrs adopt you that means I can read through their library right?â
Annie looks up at you. âAnd we can come visit?â
âOf course you all can,â Marie answers. Is her voice a little misty? âYou all can stay here as long as you like.â
âGo sit with them,â Hera says. She smiles and pushes at you. âGo on.â
Itâs the best meal youâve ever had.

Moshang AU where Airplane transmigrates into a demon NPC from one of the fanservice clans he created, rather than into Shang Qinghua.
So basically, there was a point in time where a lot of PIDW chapters were just Luo Binghe running around propelled by political plots and rebellions from the demon kingdoms, and most of that actually just ended up being Luo Binghe collecting wives with cute animal ears and tails and various abilities that Airplane used all of once and then completely forgot about. They covered the usual bases of the sexy cat girls, sexy fox girls, sexy bunny girls, sexy bird girls with wings, etc, before moving into more, erm, niche animal hybrid demon territory.
Which is all a roundabout way of explaining Cute Hamster Boy Shang Qinghua in his faithful-to-canon clan of Hamster Demons, whose primary skills include cute squeaking noises and digging abilities.
In the process of making his braindead written-in-a-panic-at-3-am "world building" on this front actually function in a real version of the setting, there has got to be a way for the otherwise-unremarkable fanservice demon tribes to actually survive the incredibly hostile environment which Airplane otherwise described, though. Like yeah sure when you're writing a book you can just say in one breath that the demon realms are incredibly brutal and cutthroat, and then in the next that this tribe of bunny girls with no visible skills at self-defense has existed here for thousands of years, but if you actually tried to set that up in some kind of a simulation the bunny girls wouldn't last one year, let alone one thousand.
In that case of Airplane's hamster tribe, their digging skills are so supernaturally prodigious that they are able to construct massive underground fortifications in otherwise hostile terrain. But that still doesn't solve all of their problems, because they still need to acquire food, and for that they mostly do have to go up to the surface. Some of their weakness is mitigated by sheer numbers -- they have a lot of kids to offset the high mortality rate. However, to further increase the survival rates, the hamster demons also try and make contracts with some of the local liege lords or ruling clans whenever they expand into a new territory. In exchange for protection, they send some of their extraneous family members out as servants, to either cement alliances through marriage (that high fertility is helpful and was indeed the crux of Wife #whatever's acquisition in canon) or to work as diggers or even high-level architects.
As the like, twelfth son of the Hamster Demon chieftain, this is Airplane's fate. On the one hand he's highly positioned enough to get an education, and his plot knowledge helps a lot. On the other hand, he's not high enough in the hierarchy to be kept around, so it's either go work for some other clan or else risk his neck doing missions on the hostile and deadly surface. Neither seems great, but Airplane would rather try his luck as a sycophant than a warrior.
Luckily (or unluckily, depending on his mood when he thinks about it) when Airplane reaches sixteen years of age, it's around the same time that the Hamster clan's tunnels have expanded towards the Northern Desert. Airplane ends up being part of the "hiii~ pleasedon'tkillus let's be friends~" tribute to Mobei Jun's father.
Mobei Jun's father tosses him to Mobei Jun, so Airplane dutifully latches onto him in order to avoid being eaten by any of the other retainers. Airplane has been educated in various subterranean building skills and is under the impression that he's been given to MBJ in order to build him his own palace or something?
Everyone else assumes that the Hamster demon is a concubine.
Mobei Jun also thinks that's what he's been given, but he's too busy bristling in teenage offense at being given a concubine by his father to actually consider taking Airplane to bed. So when Airplane starts doing other things for him, he just sort of bemusedly lets it happen.
Gradually it becomes apparent that Airplane himself isn't interested in being a concubine. No. Clearly, this Hamster is gunning for future empress of the Northern Desert! How else would one explain all the lengths he's going to not only to win Mobei Jun's favor, but to secure his position and ensure his future rule? The system also wants Airplane to ensure the Abyss plot arc happens in the future, too, which means Airplane helps Mobei Jun win and instigate conflicts against the righteous cultivation sects too.
Obviously, Airplane wants power. Mobei Jun knows that if he gets an heir off of Airplane that will be that, the wily minx will use any children to secure his position, and MBJ is not convinced he could control himself well enough to prevent that sort of eventually. Airplane is fiendishly attractive, and he clearly knows it, and Mobei Jun is not sure if he wants to accept what increasingly seems to be the inevitable. He won't be a ladder for someone else's ambitions! But... as long as Airplane remains loyal to him, he will consider it. Even if Airplane never harbors any true affection for him, and simply considers him a means to an end. If, by the time he ascends the Hamster has not betrayed him or tried to elevate himself by flipping over this uncle's side, or seduced any of his other relatives or any of the highly-placed lords all salivating to steal MBJ's would-be empress, then Mobei Jun will grant his wish and make him the second most powerful demon in the North.
Airplane, meanwhile, just wants a snack and a nap. Maybe if he builds a secure enough fortress and amasses enough of an intelligence network and hoards a few advantages for himself, and figures out how to stop pissing off MBJ, he'll survive long enough to retire. Somehow.
#moshang#svsss#mobei jun#shang qinghua#airplane shooting towards the sky#scum villain's self saving system#og shang qinghua doesn't factor in I don't think#airplane gets shipped north around when mbj would have run into hhp and rescues him instead

Gingerfucker - Eris x Rhysâs Sister!reader Masterlist
Banner by @milswrites | Note: these are in chronological order by content, not by posting date. This is an ongoing series and will be updated.
Summary: no one is more surprised than Eris Vanserra to find that he is capable of much more than just political ambition
Some art of the babies: (Nyx and Atlas) (All the gingersnaps) (Atlas and Leif) (Atlas) (the family)
Art by @dawneternal: Eris during the events of Cold was the steel of my axe to grind, portraits of the gingersnaps, art of Eris and Atlas
Gingerfucker week 2024 blurbs
Moodboard
Itâs just to satiate the bond - an agreement to have sex just to satiate a mating bond neither party wants is a great idea. Surely no one will get hurt, right?
One single thread of gold tied me to you* - Eris accepts the mating bond and is incredibly touched by the effort you put into cooking him the meal from scratch
Allâs well that ends well to end up with you - fears and doubts cause you and Eris to do your first irrational act together: a secret mating bond ceremony
I am ash from your fire - Surprising Eris one evening, youâve turned up in the dead of night to let him know that your brother had figured out your secret relationship, offering you an ultimatum.
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind - centuries of plotting and scheming come to a head when his mate unexpectedly arrives in Autumn and Eris is desperate to set his plans in motion, least she become a piece for Beron to use against him
Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons - Eris leaves his mate alone in the Forest House, telling her to trust no one but his mother. The two women are ill-equipped to provide frontline fighting, but surely they can help Eris in their own way. *companion piece to âCold was the steel of my axe to grindâ
Hell was the journey but it brought me Heaven - in the immediate aftermath of Beronâs death and the thrum of power in his veins, Erisâs mate forces him to, at the bare minimum, bathe
Secret exchanges - a few weeks after the aftermath of Rhysâs banishment, your mate, the new High Lord of the Autumn Court, has a secret meeting with someone from your family.
Blood moon in Autumn - fae cycles are no joke, but your mate is always there to provide you comfort in the best way possible: by being your personal heating pad
Have I found you, flightless bird? - a reflection of a life of secrets and expectations and how, despite it all, a flightless bird found home in an unlikely place
Ferocious beasts with soft bellies - Erisâs hounds know youâre pregnant before either of you do, driving the two of you wild with their newfound devotion to you.
Starfall in Autumn - based on the prompt for Starfall week âcharacters a and b realize they wonât make it to Starfall. They make the most of what they have to celebrateâ
Laborious anxieties - Eris is riddled with anxiety leading up to your labor, but what happens when some of his worst fears come to fruition?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed - your relationship with Rhysand had been icy at best, but your attempts to reconcile are quick to be shot down. A rash decision leads you to endangering your life - can Eris find you in time? Can he save your infant son?
Amber eyes, looking into mine - Eris finds something in his study that triggers him into a frozen state of panic. Who better suited to pulling Eris from his past than his future?
We started alone, in the end weâre okay - on a rare night alone, Eris reflects on his long life and the lonely nights that haunted his youth. And how heâs a long way from the person he was and the person he had to be.
Fireling - every fatherâs dream is to be there the day his son first uses his powers. Luckily for Eris, he gets just that.
How the kingdom lights shine just for me and you - Eris tells his sons a story, letting them know how a strong knight defeated an evil dragon and saved the kingdom.
Loving parents, harmless fun - Modern!Gingerfucker - slice of life where Eris takes his family on a roadtrip and is only slightly annoyed at his sonâs choice of car game
* = smut
