#Qi-Compatible

[chalkrevelations]

I. Just.

This entire national grading competition arc in the mid 20-somethings eps of Qi Hun/Hikaru No Go results in me repeatedly shaking my head at Yue Zhi and tsk'ing that "he's not going to fuck you" re: Yu Liang.

Yu Liang's Secondary Backup Shi Guang has already fucked off back to Korea, and he's certainly not going to fuck you when Actual Shi Guang is closing in on him, sweetie.

I'm sitting here watching that whole Shi Guang-Yue Zhi the-girls-are-fiiiighting scene before their final weiqi match, and I just love how supremely confident Shi Guang is, not even about his eventual win, but about how fixated Yu Liang is on him. There's not even a flicker of a doubt that Yu Liang might give a single fuck about anyone but him.

Soulmates.

Belkin MagSafe Charger, 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand, 2ND GEN

Gadgets and Home Essentials may earn a commission. You incur no extra cost when you buy through links on our site. I’m always searching for the best charging solutions for my Apple devices. That’s why I’m excited about the Belkin MagSafe Charger, 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand, 2ND GEN. It’s designed to change how I charge my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Plus, it keeps my desk tidy and…

Using Wireless Charger, you can charge your phone without plugging in any cables. But here’s the question: Does using wireless charging degrade your phone’s battery? Are you sure, such chargers are device friendly?

Demon Shen Jiu is such a fun idea though.

Especially if he himself doesn't know. Like imagine, Yue Qi finds this abandoned baby and the baby is REALLY OBVIOUSLY not human. But this also enables Shen Jiu to survive being abandoned at such a young age -- a human baby would die without adequate nutrition or care, but demons are a little more resilient. Baby Demon SJ has a way more forgiving digestive system and can move under his own power from a much earlier age. By the time he's a year old he's hunting his own rodents and small birds, and has to be stopped from biting and mauling anyone he doesn't like. Which is most people. Qi-ge develops amazing reflexes.

Why do the slavers tolerate a demon baby hanging around? Maybe it's really not all that uncommon. Demons come across the borderlands from time to time, and are as liable to abandon their kids or die or etc as anyone else. It's maybe an open secret among slavers that demon-blooded kids are a better investment, even, because they can survive for longer on less. The only downside is if they don't ever look human enough to pass as human, because that limits potential buyers, but that's only relevant when the slavers are trying to sell them. For the purposes of having a network of street kids stealing and grifting and spying and etc, it's fine. A lot of the slavers themselves started out as demon-blooded street kids with no other options.

But in SJ's case, he pretty quickly starts passing as human. Mostly because he's quite strong, and he's convinced that he's the same as his Qi-ge, so he makes himself the same. Makes his hands look the same and his teeth look the same and etc. It's largely subconscious, and once he starts doing it, it becomes automatic. SJ forgets that he's a demon in the way that most people don't retain their earliest childhood memories -- although he remembers that some of the slavers were demons.

Then of course there's the question of why didn't the Cang Qiong cultivators notice?

A few options. One is that whatever kind of demon SJ is, it's really good at mimicking humans. Another is that he's only part demon, and like Luo Binghe, fully capable of handling both kinds of cultivation. So once he starts learning spiritual cultivation, even from a heretic like Wu Yanzi, he doesn't seem different from any other recruit with a patchy education on the subject. Anything else odd about him could be easily attributed to his exposure to Wu Yanzi and his wicked practices.

Although full demon SJ is a fascinating idea. (Also, it could contribute to all those qi deviations -- he's trying to cultivate AND "fake" human cultivation at the same time, I doubt Qing Jing's techniques are totally compatible with everything going on there even without the psychological turmoil.) Like I'd imagine Airplane wrote that SJ was abandoned on the streets as a baby, and the system was like "hmm he probably wouldn't survive that?" and then in some nine billionth wife arc, Airplane also creates a variety of demon that can fully pass as human (for some identity conflict with a prospective wife), even to the point of fooling human cultivators and demon-detecting tools. So the system just ties these two disparate pieces of world-building together in order to patch a critical plothole (Airplane doesn't know anything about babies). Which has the side effect that Shang Qinghua doesn't even know that SJ became a demon!

And SJ himself doesn't know. The only person who knows is Yue Qi.

Obviously this wouldn't come up much in PIDW, but it could be pretty funny in the SVSSS timeline. YQY just sitting there through the whole Luo Binghe being a half-demon reveal, wondering if he should say something. Subsequently being the most absolutely chill about the whole demon reveal thing anyway. Like he's definitely not upset that Luo Binghe is a demon, or part demon, and the multiple people who try to make a point about it just run afoul of his impenetrable smile and get nowhere.

Then eventually Yue Qingyuan decides that he should probably tell Bingqiu that Shen Qingqiu is a demon. For like, safety purposes if nothing else. He's kept the secret so long also for safety purposes (even if someone put Shen Qingqiu under a truth compulsion he wouldn't be able to admit to being a demon, because he himself doesn't know!), and he's done tons of stuff to prevent anyone ever finding out (although Xiao Jiu is so talented that he didn't have to do much), but Luo Binghe is the demon emperor. That changes things. If Shen Qingqiu is going to be visiting the demon kingdoms regularly then there's a chance something could reveal the truth unexpectedly, and that would probably be worse.

So Yue Qingyuan sits down and has a very serious discussion with Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe about how Shen Qingqiu is actually a demon, was just the cutest little demon baby in fact, here he drew a picture from memory of what Xiao Jiu used to look like before he learned to look more human, and also how a lot of slave kids and slavers and people who fall through the cracks in society have demon ancestry, some more recent than others, and Shen Qingqiu always retained a certain discomfort around his own kind because of the adult slavers who sold him off, and etc etc.

SVSSS System Reveal Fic round up!

If you know one that hasn’t been recc’ed, then please put it in the comments/tags! I’ll add it to the post!

A Transmigrator and a Time Traveler Walk into the Bamboo House by VeryCharismaticDragon

Over a year after Shen Qingqiu's death, Luo Binghe consults his servant's servant, concurrently his disgraced martial uncle, for a way to bring the love of his life back. Shang Qinghua sends him in the direction of a certain time-traveling artifact, which supposedly brings one to the day they first met their soulmate.

Odd, though, that the artifact ends up missing the destination by just a few years…

A story in which post-Abyss Luo Binghe relives his disciple days, while juggling his secrets, traumas, and some unexpected revelations about the man he loves on top of that.

What is Seen by CaveteDracones

…is not [always] the real truth.

Truth-compelling artifacts in the hands of an enemy to one side, SYSTEM-mandated silence on the other, and Shen Qingqiu caught between the two. Is it too late to go back to the Water Prison? (NOTE: This one was recommended three times, and I have personally reread it multiple times. It’s one of my favorites and I really do want to read more fics in a similar vein lol)

open my lungs to let you in by ghostybreads

Shen Qingqiu had a secret. So, naturally, it was only a matter of time before he was hit by a truth serum wife plot.

//

“How are you?”

“Horny. Kind of want Binghe to rail me, I guess. But it’s manageable.”

Liu Qingge’s hand on his forehead froze, and he was close enough that Shen Qingqiu could hear his breathing stop. He stared back expressionlessly, the mortification distantly crawling up the back of his neck. Honest One-Horned–

The frustrated scream that he usually vented in his head, came out straight from mouth.

“aaAAAAAHHHH GODDAMNIT AIRPLANE–”

Futility in Practice by TGP

When Luo Binghe is fourteen years old, his shizun suffers a terrible qi deviation and fever that completely changes who he is.

and judgment is just like a cup that we share by Kieron_ODuibhir

The blob finished rotating into place in a way that wasn’t quite compatible with geometry as Shen Qingqiu understood it, and cleared a throat it didn’t seem to have.

“Greetings,” it said, somehow clearly addressing him in particular more than the room as a whole despite its total lack of features other than blueness and translucency. “I’m here on behalf of the Hyper-Celestial Peace and Order Enforcement Bureau. Crime scene secure, proceeding to interviews. Beginning with Subject One: You are Shen Qingqiu, formerly Shen Yuan, also known as Peerless Cucumber?”

First, do no harm by Terias

Shen Qingqiu has been acting especially erratic since awakening from his three day coma after a severe qi deviation.

Mu Qingfang investigates and discovers a great many things about his new shixiong. (NOTE: This one has Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu as the same soul, technically, but it still works I think!)

When a rogue foreign System sends out a subtle virus, some outsiders are shown chat messages between a certain two transmigrators and their Systems.

AirplaneBro: nah dude shen jiu would never lay a hand on his female disciples like that, hes gay

Liu Qingge tripped on thin air while Mu Qingfang choked on his tea as Shang Qinghua (their god? creator??) casually shattered their view of their original Shen Qingiu. The fake Shen Qingqiu at least, was sharing their shock.

CucumberBro: EXCUSE ME WHAT??

CucumberBro: The fuck he is?!?! He literally GOES TO BROTHELS! LIU QINGGE FOUND HIM IN BED WITH A WOMAN THAT ONE TIME?

AirplaneBro: aight bro buckle the fuck up cuz imma take u on a joyride all about shen jiu >:)

MDZS headcanon time! WWX’s guidao songs all have names, just like lan music!

[Agitation] stirring up residual or ambient yin qi for use, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

[Askance] thinking specific questions allow for spirits to come forward and give relevant information.

Hi! I saw that you're doing ask game asks again (and i do want to hear about a random wip so have a heart ❤️❤️) and that reminded me of the next ask game you did and the fic you teased. (It was something about LBH returning to QJP instead of HHP and watching SQQ grief) is that still being written? (I'm not up to date so I really have no idea what the current status is. It just sounded really interesting)

!!!! hi! yes, i'm still writing it, thank you for sending the heart about it 💕🥺 (also i'm so '!!!' that you remembered it?) the idea you've mentioned comes from this post by @fairsweetlonging (with an addition from @happypeachsludgeflower), so i'm really only playing with some of their ideas and putting them together in a fic format (and if new things happen, new things happen). i didn't know anybody paid attention to my tags so i was only poking at the fic from time to time, just for myself

so far, there are two bits that i especially love about this wip. i'm still at the point where binghe has just come to qing jing, found shen qingqiu at the sword mound, and brought him into the bamboo house. the way i'm approaching this idea is that binghe's come back to check on sqq not for revenge, but to take one last look at his home, he's still very conflicted there. i took it in this direction because a ficlet i had in my drafts (that i will also finish/polish up one day and probably post first) starts at the same point as this wip starts, but binghe is painfully aware that there's no 'home' waiting for him anymore and so doesn't return. the lack or drive for revenge might change during rewriting, i'll see where it takes me!

anyway, one of the bits is binghe feeling very bitter because he comes into the bamboo house early in the morning, hiding his presence, only to find shizun's bed empty and two (!) tea cups left on shizun's table 😅 uh oh.

and the second bit is here in this snippet that i enjoy rereading and poking at, it's binghe getting ready to transfer some qi to sqq after his near(?) deviation and having some bittersweet reflections:

Back then, he'd found himself thinking, so what that [Shen Qingqiu's and Liu Qingge's] qi had been compatible? Luo Binghe had wished oh so very hard that his energy had been just as in tune with his master's, if not more! More compatible! And he would have given Shizun all of it! Now he knew that Shizun had made the right choice in refusing his offers. Transferring all one's qi into the body of another person would harm both the giver and the recipient. It wouldn't have mattered if Binghe had been hurt, but if Shizun—when Binghe had just been trying to help— He’d have never forgiven himself for it.

there are more, but i feel like if i share more right now, my brain will get all 'okay, story's told, time to move on!'

send me a ❤️️ for a wip-related ramble

[lwjsbedtime]

I keep thinking about this awkward Dragonji situation where Foxxian baby traps himself, and it makes me laugh so here it is.

For the sake of my brain goblins, dragons are born from eggs in this AU and have a custom of laying them as a sort of courtship offer to compatible mates. HOWEVER, in practice this usually only happens after an engagement has been arranged between families (and if you really want to be proper, after the wedding ceremony).

Dragon families make a big fuss about new eggs, to the point where it's more expected to try for one on the wedding night, rather than, uh...the usual stuff. A newly wed dragon's room will be filled with the supplies to make a nice, warm nest, the air filled with soothing incense designed to relax a fertile dragon's muscles - everything conductive for laying! It's a very important, very private, very sacred part of draconic nature, and as such is treated with incomparable respect. It's seen as a rite of passage that marks the beginning of adulthood for those with the ability to brood.

Only those closest to the dragon may be present for the laying, and sometimes not even they will be allowed to participate, if the one nesting deems it too awkward for them to entertain guests.

So of course, Dragonji becomes livid when - on the third day of the Jiang disciples being in CR - Foxxian manages to fluster him so badly that he spontaneously lays an egg. Right. In. The. Middle. Of. A. Walkway.

No wooing, no bride price, not even an ounce of privacy or concern for his dignity. That...shameless little fox has him birthing his firstborn on the same path his uncle strolls along to digest his lunch!

At first, he thinks he can hide what's happened by squeezing his thighs together. He cannot. The egg ricochets down the leg of his pants, out onto the path, before it bounces across the grass, merrily as anything. He can see Foxxian out of the corner of his eye watching it as it arcs through the air.

It's the most mortifying moment of his life. He can feel a qi deviation coming on. This will literally be the end of him - physically and otherwise. The situation's only saving grace is that no one else saw him lay his egg on the side of the road like some trollop - only WWX.

Foxxian, blissfully unaware of the reproductive habits of dragons, thinks Dragonji has been sneaking food around to eat between classes. He takes this as a sign that LWJ is secretly a fellow Rule Breaker. Obviously, this makes them best friends.

Wwx: See Lan Zhan? I keep telling everyone this place doesn't offer enough food. How am I meant to sustain myself on vegetables? If we can't have meat, why not at least offer eggs? We're growing boys! We need the nutrients!

Lwj, meanwhile: Does he… Does he want to eat my baby?! 

LWJ will not stand for such disrespect from the fath- from the...annoying witness of this egg debacle. He stomps over to collect his egg, shooting a scathing glare at WWX before storming off in a huff. 

Wwx: 🤨 Did I say something? I wasn't going to steal the egg! It's yours! You eat it!

----

After a good while of sulking (wondering why WWX wants to eat their LWJ's child) LWJ drags himself to his uncle's quarters to notify him of what occurred. As much as he'd rather keep his shame to himself, he needs his elders' advice.

Only a small percentage of the dragon population is capable of laying eggs, and those who can tend to have very few come to term. The Lan have therefore made a point of ensuring each one is tested for viability, and treated with care. 

Of course, the laying of a new egg is usually cause for celebration, preceded by a long engagement and a wedding night. Occasionally an unmated dragon manages to brood by themselves, but they're soon betrothed in order to create a healthy environment for their egg's upbringing. It's all very structured and proper. LWJ knows that he will be seen as a disappointment for laying an egg so recklessly; that he will be expected to now wed - quickly.

LWJ doesn't want to get married. He selfishly hopes the egg isn't viable, so he can pretend this whole humiliating fiasco never happened.

It is.

Lan Qiren informs him in no uncertain terms that it must be fertilised - soon. Of course - as LWJ expected - for such a thing to occur outside of marriage would be unthinkable for a son of the main line. A child must have two parents to nurture their development, after all, even if neither of them particularly care for one another. It's everything Dragonji feared.

LQR delivers a list of potential husband candidates for his nephew. LWJ finds a reason to refuse each one. None of them are fit to raise his children. Certainly none could ever convince him to lay another egg for them. Least of all NMJ. Really, what was Uncle thinking?! He's one of xiongzhang's dearest friends! That would be like wedding a particularly opinionated cousin - legal, but personally repellent. And he'd have to tolerate NHS for the rest of his life!

He quickly strikes another name from the list. Best not to linger too long on his uncle's reasoning - if he gives the man any leeway, he'll soon find himself married to someone truly insipid, like Su Minshan.

Meanwhile, LQR calls his eldest nephew to his study to discuss Very Important Sect Business.

Lqr: Why is Wangji so picky? I thought he liked NMJ?

Lxc: …Uncle, I also like NMJ. It does not mean I'd like to marry NMJ. Those are…different feelings entirely. 

Lqr: 😡 You haven't laid any eggs willy-nilly, child. Your brother has. Surely he would prefer to raise his offspring with someone close to him; someone of similar values.

Lan Xichen hums in consideration.

Lxc: What about the person who caused him to lay it?

Lqr: The who? 🙈

Lxc: 😮‍💨 WWX, Uncle. The Jiang head disciple.

Lqr: The who? 🙉

Lxc: I've been told he's a mischief maker, and follows Wangji around like a lovesick babe?

Lqr: 🙊 The wh- What do you mean lovesick? If that brat even thinks about touching WJ's egg, I'll- 😡

As Lan Qiren continues his rant, WWX is in the midst of breaking into the Jingshi. He's noticed, of late, that LWJ is evading him (more than usual). He's also noticed the little pouch he's started carrying around his neck - one with an egg nestled in it.

From the distinctive speckle pattern, he's been able to discern it's the same egg every day. So, not a snack, despite the very snack-like sensations the sight of it stirs within his little fox belly. He thinks it might be Significant in some way, but he also doesn't particularly care - LWJ never pays attention to him anymore, and it's all that dumb egg's fault! 

WWX has decided the egg needs to go. He's going to eat it. 😡😡

After ascertaining no stray LWJs remain inside the cottage, he slides open the door, steps in, and begins to snoop.

It doesn't take long to uncover the egg, laying snuggled up amongst LWJ's blankets. His stomach boils hot with jealousy. That's his spot! If LWJ paid attention to him instead of the egg, he could be sleeping in that pile of blankets! Don't ask him why he'd want to do that - he doesn't know. 

Annoyed, WWX snaps the egg up between his clawed fingertips. He licks his lips. He can't help the way the stupid egg makes him drool - and it is a truly stupid egg! Not slightly pretty at all! (But WWX is forgiving. He'll eat any kind of egg. He is a fox after all.)

WWX channels a small spark of qi into the egg, hoping to boil it to perfection before gobbling it up in one go. 

The egg starts to crack. 

WWX quirks a brow. He wasn't expecting that at all. Did he underestimate his strength? Is he scrambling his eggy by mistake? He passes a smaller, tamer amount of energy into the egg.

The egg cracks some more.

WWX contemplates scarfing his snack down as-is, but something tells him not to. This strange feeling in his gut… He's never eaten a glowing egg before, but it looks like it might give him indigestion. Besides, he feels...oddly protective of it, considering how annoyed he is about its existence.

While WWX navigates his inner turmoil, the egg's shell shatters. A blinding light floods the room. WWX hisses in shock, dropping the egg's remains to the ground. 

A moment later, the remains move. Something rams into his boot.

He stares down at it.

A little noodle blinks up at him. It lets out a small, shrill chirp. Foxxian's eyes widen. 

Oh no. 

Oh no, the egg turned into a dragon! He almost ate a dragon! WWX feels ill. He retches a little and the noodle copies him, shrieking happily into the air.

Hastily, he picks the noodle up. If anyone hears a baby screaming, they'll come in and find him! Here! In LWJ's room, totally not attempting to eat one of the Lans' young!

WWX gently rocks the baby in his arms, hoping to soothe it.

Wwx: Hush little eggy. Babies are meant to be quiet, you know.

Eggy: 💬🗯️🗯️🗯️

WWX shushes the noodle again, holding it tightly. He was so sure he could gaslight the little dragon, too. Turns out noodle babies are smart - they know children exist to yell.

Now he understands why LWJ was so focused on it. He must have been babysitting for a relative, concerned they'd miss their eggy's Very LOUD birth. Then the eggy would drive the entirety of CR insane with their cries! It's all very much against the rules.

He sighs. Poor LWJ. WWX doesn't think he would handle this situation very well. He doesn't even like it when WWX talks slightly above normal volume. How on earth would he deal with a baby dragon? Especially when baby dragons apparently sound very much like screaming fox kits... Who knew?

WWX thinks for a moment, bouncing the newborn noodle in his arms. The best course of action, he decides, is to leave LWJ's home and pretend he knows nothing about the baby. At all. The egg was obviously due soon, anyway. As soon as someone hears the crying, they'll certainly come to collect the little screamer.

The noodle lets out a contented sigh, its eyes fluttering shut as WWX rocks it. Soon, a soft purring can be heard from its throat. WWX was not aware dragons could purr. Does LWJ purr? Can WWX make him purr?

He shakes his head to clear it. He simply cannot stay. If LWJ ever found out WWX tried to eat a dragon youngling out of spite, he'd never speak to him again.

He places the now-quiet noodle back on the bed, and turns to leave. As he walks away, he feels something constrict around his calf. WWX glances down to see the baby noodle has wrapped itself around his leg. It opens its little snout and lets out a cute hiss. WWX steadfastly refuses to melt. He needs to leave! Not coo over the thought of a whole batch of baby dragons slithering around in a group. 

Where would he even get a whole bunch of baby noodles from? Who would put him in charge of them? Silly Foxxian!

Gently, he coaxes the noodle off his leg. It latches onto his wrist. He pulls it off his wrist. It whines and slithers around the length of his index finger.

WWX's having a really bad time. Why are little noodles so hard to leave? He feels like crying. 😭

Suddenly, the door to the house slides open. WWX's heart rate picks up.

It's LWJ.

LWJ is looking at him with wide, shocked eyes. WWX has clearly lingered too long. He's been caught noodle-fingered!

Wwx: It's not what you think!

Lwj: It's not.

Lwj (internally): weiyingbabydaddyweiyingbabydaddyweiyingbabydaddyweiyin-

WWX holds up the finger with the noodle on it.

Wwx: I was not trying to eat this noodle!

Eggy: 🗯️🗯️🗯️

Lwj: ...

Lwj (internally): -gbabydaddy... Why does he keep trying to eat our children?!

Lwj: Why do you keep trying to eat our children?

Wwx: ...Our what?

Lwj: The dragon in your hands. Eggs only hatch when fertilised with their father's qi.

Wwx: 😳 ...Okay, that one's on me, but our what?

Lwj: WY, you caused me to lay that egg. It is our egg.

WWX looks at the noodle. He looks to LWJ. He looks back to the noodle. He recalls.

WWX stands inhumanly still, horrified.

Wwx (whispered): I tried to eat our child...

Eggy: 🗯️🗯️🗯️

He holds his little noodle close.

Wwx: No, no, Eggy. Father will protect you forever.

Eggy: 🗯️🗯️🗯️

(The noodle is getting a little impatient. It wants to go to its other parent, but WWX isn't carrying it, and it's so smol. It cannot reach its baba. 😭)

The noodle nips WWX on the finger. He flinches. It shrieks in his face, glowering.

WWX melts.

Wwx: 😻 Aw, just as grumpy as your mother. Just as pretty too! 💖

Lwj: ...

Lwj (internally): 😳🗯️🗯️🗯️🗯️🗯️🗯️🗯️🗯️🗯️

Lwj: ...We are not calling our child 'Eggy'.

WWX saunters close enough for the noodle to fling itself up on LWJ's chest. (At last! Egg Parent is soft and warm!) He grins.

Wwx: Why not? It's cute.

Lwj: ...I will fight you.

WWX nudges him playfully.

Wwx: Come on. You can name the next one~

LWJ's eyes widen.

Lwj: The next-?! Shameless!

WWX bursts into laughter.

Wwx: You're the one who gave birth to our child in public. Do you really have the face to call me that?

LWJ glowers at him, much like the noodle had, causing WWX to break into a greater fit of hysterics.

Lwj (muttered): See if I ever let you touch my eggs again...

Wwx: Huh?

Lwj: I said 🗯️🗯️🗯️

WWX is both blown away and intrigued by the interesting noises Lan er gongzi can make when he's not hellbent on being quiet...

He smiles slowly, confident he'll have time to investigate the matter on a much more intimate level later. After all, LWJ and he have an Eggy to raise! He's sure he can wear his little dragon down with his fox charms eventually.

A perfect future in sight, WWX scritches under Eggy's chin fondly.

Wwx: What a good boy. Daddy would never eat you.

Lwj: 😳😳

Lwj: ...Do not spoil him.

WWX grins. He reaches out to scritch under LWJ's chin, as well.

Wwx: LZ is also a good boy. ...Daddy promises to eat you vigorously, whenever you want. 😏

Lwj: 🥺😡Wei Ying!!!

----

LQR suffers immensely upon marrying that hooligan fox into his family.

He suffers significantly less when covered in babies.

----

Wangxian go on to hatch eleven siblings for Eggy (A-Yuan) in quick succession, making a neat dozen. It's the largest number of noodles any dragon has ever birthed in written history.

----

After the birth of their third child, LWJ publishes a thesis on the benefits of pre-fertilising eggs before they're laid, by integrating mammalian conception techniques into brooding.

His brother can't look him in the eye for at least a year after (about as long as it takes for the pre-fertilised egg to come out fully boiled). There are some things LXC truly...did not need to know about his brother's body (more specifically, how it reacts to the body of his BIL).

Much as with his uncle, the baby noodles ease his suffering.

----

A-Yuan's parents manage to embarrass him very much without permanently scarring him. He looks back on his childhood fondly.

He also decides to never lay a single egg in his entire life (nor have one laid for him). His parents accept this stance wholeheartedly. To dissuade LQR from pestering their baby boy, Wangxian get to work on creating another noodle.

----

The dragons go from a near-endangered species to populous over the course of a century, at which point Wangxian decide to take a break from baby making to travel the rest of the world.

Uncle Qiren is most upset about this sudden deviation from new babies for him. He cries into the mane of his youngest niece (who is just slightly too big to be a lapnoodle).

He gets over the disappointment eventually.

----

They all live happily, and live well.

----

BONUS:

Lan disciples upon seeing LWJ with an egg: Wow, who would have thought LWJ was such a loose slut?

Guest disciples upon seeing LWJ with an egg: ...Weird. Is it a cultivation thing?

WWX in the exact same situation: The egg. 😡 Has. 😡 MY. 😡 Attention. 🤬🤬 I wILl EaT iT!!!

----

Additional thought: LWJ wanted his mother to be there with him to witness the laying of his first egg, stroking his hair and speaking soft words into his ear. He got the fast food experience of birth instead.

----

I don't care what anyone says. This is my masterpiece.

I'm going to order some takeout now because I can't stop thinking about egg noodles. 🍜 (I don't know who needs to hear this, but you also deserve some noodles today. Go get them. Do it. As a treat.)

OUGH YES.

So these will be operating off the theory that qPhil is hcPhil with his memory fucked up by the Federation. I'm gonna aim for "pre island, this is how qPhil was" but we'll see what happens as I actually write these LOL

What if I call these Pre-Dilf Edition in the masterlist SKFJSKFJSKFHF

10/10 would read the hardcore deity set I did recently to go with these :D

He either had a flawless sleep schedule (early to bed early to rise ass mf) or no sleep schedule at all (spending 3+ nights hyperfocused on smth). It made for a very loopy Phil sometimes, which his murder of crows very much enjoyed

This man can fit so much joy and whimsy in him. Everything is awesome, everything is a breathtaking work of art and everything is decades of rich history to uncover. He loves life, he loves the passage of time, he loves teaching the murder about what he finds & restores

That's his main hobby besides being a survivalist, restoration and an informal form of archiving. He sketches the builds, takes notes on the deities, adds his own little touches to each place to make it a little prettier

He could fly for hours. Sometimes he'd fly aimlessly into late into the night, too immersed in sight-seeing and chatting with the murder

He had little altars in Flowerfall, Nether Void & Greater Spawn Islands for OO, BE, and Rose respectively. He'd leave little shiny things, trinkets that made him think of them, offerings like cooked fish or blaze rods or flowers in little offering bowls. Just as a nice, more direct way of giving them thanks for creating something so beautiful and allowing him to restore it to its former glory

He fucking loves swimming and fishing and hanging out at Endlantis, he'd just very aggressively avoid the cave that is EK's tomb. It was extremely haunted, he never got good vibes down there

He sometimes considers making his own remarkable build as a sort of "I was here, I too am a mark upon this history" but looks at his house and is like "mmmmbetter not" (he's an idiot, he could 100% build something cool, just probably not on the scale of the builds the gods have created. He'd probably create it for Goddess of Death, not even himself 💀)

Obligatory gapple addiction mention. It didn't start because of the murder, but he definitely used them as an excuse to further indulge once he started devoting eating one to the crows who'd been in the murder for a year. He never really had a reason to quit, or worry about the addiction, so he never experienced negative effects from it. Gapples aren't exactly harmful, just.. tinged with just enough magic to infect the brain. (He never experienced withdrawal misery on QI bc the Feds wiped his memory so his body had no idea it should be having a bitch fit =) )

Semi-related, he loved the days where he and the murder lacked the motivation and focus to do restoration things so they'd just fuck off in a random direction for ages and go on loot sprees. Nothing more exciting than hunting for more god apples :D

He started out liking fishing. The murder got too obsessed and it became the bane of his existence. But he loves the murder, so he does it anyway. Besides, he wouldn't trade chill talks with them for the world. :')

Btw he doesn't know this but it was equal parts the Ender King & the Feds ripping rifts between the universes that got him caught and taken to QI. EK didn't plan for that to happen, he just wanted to escape to a new reality to find a vessel to come back to power. Which is why once Phil was on the island, EK went "Fuck it, I'll use that asshole since he's not only compatible, but from the same plane of existence"

Mobs never scared him much (except Enderman) despite the fact that they were very dangerous and he's a survivalist. He was practically a mob whisperer, it's how he trapped trophy ones, made certain farms and why he was 99% fearless when farming charged creepers. QI has so many mobs he's never seen in his life that his chill instincts are suddenly like AAAWTFWTF

He never felt truly alone despite being the only humanoid. He felt like Rose was always with him, very rarely OO, and the murder ofc. He could understand them and he'd talk to them all day every day. Not only that, he had pets like Pog and Champ and there were quite a few times he'd humanize inanimate objects, which scientifically helps keep you sane in isolation such as survival. He always felt like he had Something to socialize with

That said, he IS still a bit weird socially on the island. Socializing with humans is way different than crows, other animals, gods, and objects.

Btw Ian is God of Chaos (a lesser god like Goddess of Death) and other mods like Birder, D3 & Wolfy are notably larger or perhaps a different species of corvid that hang out among the murder :D

Finally finished Heavenly Tyrant and cannot get it out of my head for the life of me, so here's a list of anime inspirations/correlations I noticed, pls feel free to point out any I missed or was wrong about, ⚠️SPOILERS⚠️ for all of Iron Widow and Heavenly Tyrant

Mechas in this universe "require" both male and female pilots, A la Darling in the Franxx, while I haven't watched this show, I know this one for sure bc Zhou themself has cited it multiple times as inspiration for the world and what kind of society would lead to such a weird rule regarding pilot compatibility

The mechs are created with the "invading" aliens bodies, just like Neon Genesis evangelion

This isn't a direct correlation, but the mechs resemblance to mythic creatures gives me heavy Tailed Beast vibes from Naruto, is it just bc the first mech we see is a Nine Tailed Fox? Who's to say...

Another one directly pointed out by Zhou themself, the whole Qi power system loosely, but specifically the Qi blasts used in battle are taken from Dragon Ball

This one could be the loosest but in Heavenly Tyrant, I was getting HUGE Attack On Titan vibes, specifically with how our main characters world view is flipped completely on its head. Eren finds out his island is not even close to the last of humanity, and in fact are trapped there on purpose to be exterminated. Zetian finds out that there are hundreds of other human inhabited planets, the hunduns are actually *native* to Orichea, not invaders, and her people are made to suffer in the war against Hunduns on purpose for the sake of profit. Not exactly the same, but for sure similar enough to draw my eye.

That's all I got! Once again pls lmk if you see anything I missed or got wrong!

what if mariko was instead transmigrated to svsss?

this is a question that i have to clarify: mariko as she is in tcba? or mariko as an si/oc who lands in sv instead, never goes to naruto verse? bc if the latter, she's no longer mariko at all, she's whoever she's reborn as, her story and growth are entirely different to the pt that i wouldn't call them the same character. and that's a whole other fic lol.

but mariko+eyeball shenanigans/"pocket dimension" and getting misplaced in svsss? hm. hmmmmmm. ok so let's assume that chakra and qi are compatible enough energetic systems to start, mariko could pass as a rogue cultivator but she doesn't have a sword. or rather, a cultivator w a tanto for a sword LMAO and some semi-scandalous dress that gets her mistaken for a demon esp w THOSE eyes. genjutsu it is! at least until she gets a wardrobe change.

the flora and fauna are the biggest threats, omg can you fucking imagine getting sex pollened??? legit a horror story. and mariko hates poisons/is bad w them. and what does she fucking eat if foraging is too risky? no money...

and who knows how much of svsss she even remembers, much less how long it takes her to put it together that that's where she is. but she wants to go back, and the only thing in-universe that's powerful enough for that is xin mo. her options are... limited, by that.

thank you!!

soo i've been reblogging all my games for visibility and some of them repeat emojis, so i'm just going to assume this ask is for the Sex & Kink Questions for Writers game because that's the most recent one that the queue spit out when you sent this!

💞 When you’re coming up with a romantic plot or subplot, how important is developing their sexual compatibility to you?

Pretty important, in most cases. Depending on the relationship, it can spring to mind immediately or it can be something I need to actively work on. Pride and Justice, for example, had their compatibility basically prepackaged with their romance. It just required me to flesh out the details and peel back the layers that already existed. Xinya and Yu-Qi required a bit more thought on my part, I had to come up with their dynamic with more intention.

Obviously if I start with the sex (i.e. most of the dynamics in Athendrolyn After Dark) then sexual compatibility is the whole plot, really, and I have to craft it pretty robustly. Most of the time, starting with the romance, it's like Xinya and Yu-Qi for me. The P&J boys are just horny on a whole different level.

🔞 normalized public sex au

cm doesn't realize when he wakes up, but a lot of things have changed in the 100 years he'd been gone.

in particular, public sex became a norm. cultivators and sects learned that dual cultivation was a powerful tool that would help them regain their lost strength after the war with the demonic cult.

and so dual cultivation became an open topic and practice for all—encouraged even!

this carried into future generations and so came chung myung's second life.

intially unbeknownst to him, his pure qi was a perfect complement to almost everyone. he was compatible with anyone.

he quickly learns about the changes in their world when he sees several disciples strip and stand outside of his room expectantly.....
