BALD

(I saved the front part for his Bangs but cutting all this off was nerve wracking)

[nibbelraz]

My King will you still love me if I was bald? 🥺

[gurggggleburgle]

In my professional opinion I would like to say that while Binghe is absolutely hot for his Shizun being older than him and that problematic forbidden spiced fruit Mobei-Jun has not and cannot process that Shang Qinghua is technically by all standards a dilf. Its just never going to occur to him. Like he's still under the impression that he's older in this relationship even when you don't account transmigration into this.

And Airplane has explained this to him. Pointed out the obvious. Has mentioned it a few times and like butter on a boiled egg it slides away. My good men he doesn't even understand what a daddy kink is and I don't think he ever will.

Scum Villain characters as things my mom has said:

Shen Jiu: “If you get another STD I’ll give you more the cry about!”

Shen Yuan: “Hold on, I gotta watch these k-pop thirst traps first”

Luo Binghe: “I’m receiving messages from Hitler in my brain”

Yue Qingyuan: “I like it when you hit me”

Mu Qingfang: *shaking knife* “I got your gender affirming care right here!”

Liu Mingyan: “Can you look like you’re a little boy at age 30? Boy do I have a genre for you”

Shang Qinghua: “I see a bright future and lots of penises in you future young man!”

Little Palace Mistress: “This is supposed to be my day where everyone’s eye are on me and not your freaking bald ass cancer head!”

Old Palace Master: “Age is just a number”

Liu Qingge: “I’ll take the autism swag any day”

Qi Qingqi: “Have you ever seen a penis? It’s disgusting.”

Wei Qingwei : “Screw power of attorney, I’ve got the power of deez nuts!”

Su Xiyan: “I love Weezer, I saw them in concert. They were really really good.”

Tianlang Jun: “~Cauuuse I’m a freaaaaaak~🎵” (to the tune of creep by Radiohead)

“It’s ’cause I’m a creep’, not freak”

“I am a freak”

[lilapplesheadcannons]

In the mood for stirring up shit, so I'll announce my controversial MXTX fandom takes:

1. Shang Qinghua has got the Pete Davidson/ line cook rizz! He also has oily T-zones, acne scars, and holes in his underwear.

2. Lan Qiren actually gave his nephews lectures on basic sex ed. Unfortunately, he was not aware of their orientation at that time, and the lecture went to waste.

3. Luo Binghe was made to be a pillow princess. He just fell in love with a pillow-er princess (I don't know how to express it, but you get the gist).

4. There's no fucking way Hua Cheng's handwriting is that bad. He just pretended to gain pity points from Xie Lian. He is the epitome of "Tee-hee, I am so bad at this "X"! You should just show me!" highschool girl around her crush nonsense!

5. Jiang Cheng would start to bald by 30.

November 6, 2024

Hi there, I'm Liz, and I hope everyone is being kind to themselves today. Anyway. Welcome to Wip Wednesday, have decided to post this here and in the community. Pick a file, and I'll write at least 3 sentences in it.

filenames:

transmigrated as the female lead's villain fiance: my actual nano project! Guy figures out he lives in a cnovel, and boy does he have issues with that.

mu qingfang's terrible romcom: Mu Qingfang has a thing for pathetic men and if anyone finds out, he’s going to die.

the therapy fic: Mobei Yi and Shang Houhua decide to go to couples’ counseling.

wip doc: my grand miscellany of wips, because I have a habit of writing everything in one file.

And now, some words under the cut:

Luo Binghe didn't treat him like a father, which was. Concerning.

Did he not know? Maybe he didn't.

Luo Binghe. Not Shang Binghe.

But then again, maybe there was nothing to know to begin with. There was a chance Shang Qinghua was wrong about the whole "I have a son" thing, and there was no reason to worry about his parenting skills or lack thereof at all.

That was the easy way out, wasn't it? Did he really believe that, or was he making excuses for the fact that his son never called him 'Dad'?

YESYESYEEEESSS!!! you get me!!! and YES mu qingfang is the BEST and i'd LOVE to hear more about wei qingwei!!! (cus i'm not very familiar with him yet so i love to know more!!). and it turning into a little bonding-gossip session with qi qingqi is sooo sweet!!

i feel yue qingyuan is definitely the "best" at wing care, being really gentle in an almost deferential way, even having all these little tools at his disposal (that all look new and unused and yet are quite old<3), and even though birds don't really need/use brushes, it feels heavenly to have him brush the itchy loose feathers (and if yue qingyuan does his hair as well, neither of them mentions it), and shen qingqiu is always all pretty and proper when he leaves

liu qingge doing it on the missions is PERFECT, esp when he doesn't know what to do and needs to be guided through it!!! he's definitely a little rougher than yue qingyuan, but we all know shen qingqiu likes that so he doesn't say anything<3 one time liu qingge pulled a new pin feather and it started bleeding badly, and it took weeks before he even dared to touch shen qingqiu's wings again. and the fighting for who gets to do it i love it so much. i can also imagine the first time on a mission, shen yuan is trying to signal he needs preeming by reaching for the difficult spots and sighing and having his wings spread in an obvious way, shaking them a little because it keeps attracting liu qingge's attention (but liu qingge doesn't dare assume a demon spirit wants a human to touch their wings, and especially not liu qingge because they used to hate each other, so shen yuan has to suck up and ask anyway🤭)

and now for the angst: i always like my shen yuan experiencing dread and anxiety about the endless abyss quest, stomach turning every time someone makes a comment about the upcoming conference, feeling sick when binghe turns a year older, when binghe expresses in his loyal little sheep way he admires his shizun so much and shizun is sooo good to him and he wants to stay on the peak forever! it's horrible to listen to, and sometimes shen yuan gets lost in his head, especially at night when the nightmares plague him and he tosses and turns until he's burning up and his wings feel too heavy and too restricting and they're itching so he starts pulling out feathers to try and make the feeling go away, always regretting it in the morning when he has to hide the "evidence" before binghe can come in with breakfast.

he has thich plumage so it isn't so noticible at first, but eventually bald spots start to form on the inside of his wing and it stresses him out even more because the excuse of moulting doesn't work when no new feathers are growing in, and though liu qingge, wei qingwei and shang qinghua and maybe qi qingqi might not know moulting isn't supposed to leave bald spots like that, yue qingyuan and mu qingfang definitely do.

cue a very embarrassing moment when mu qingfang comes for his monthly without a cure checkup and finds a bunch of loose feathers beneath the bed that don't look worn or damaged, and when he wants to have a look at shen qingqiu's lame wing (because for some reason, without a cure keeps affecting that part of him too), shen qingqiu keeps pulling it back and pressing it tight against his side as if to hide it, mumbling something about moulting season and having a thin face so if mu-shidi could please leave it...?; mu qingfang isn't stupid so he puts one and one together, but he knows he can't confront him now or it'll make him clam up, so he keeps a careful eye out until he sees with certainty that shen qingqiu is plucking feathers (maybe during long meetings shen qingqiu gets lost in his head again and pulls at feathers until they break off (compulsory hand holding, anyone?)? or when he gets visibly stressed his hand keeps going to his wing to pluck at feathers as a self soothing gesture).

it's so clearly a sign of stress, but they just can't figure out what is causing it; loneliness? too high of a workload? boredom? could it be a medical problem like allergies or wing disease, maybe? but shen qingqiu never shows any issues in those regards, seeking out plenty of socialization, he handles his work just fine and loves teaching, and if it was as simple as allergies or disease he could just go to mu qingfang for a cure. and it happens at such random times too, like deep at night, or when they're having a simple meeting (about the alliance conference), it doesn't make sense!

maybe in this au shen qingqiu discovers airplane's identity earlier in the story, and having someone to rant to helps (the other peak lords get jealous at the sudden preferential treatment, but shen qingqiu stops picking at his wings as much, so it's a win)(imagine how helpless shang qinghua feels watching shen yuan pull out feathers in front of him knowing he created both this behavioral pattern and the ending that is causing it)

and do pleeeeaaaase yap about all the other peak lords i NEED to hear!!

ahhh i'm glad you like it!! and you're SPOT ON with the pampering and carrying the other peak lords do<3 whether he's in his small bird form or his big human form with large wings, doesn't matter, he's getting picked up!! (i love liu qingge playing taxi chauffeur and realizing with horror that he likes holding shen qingqiu in his arms a little too much🤭)

so so so, i was just thinking about preening, if this is a canon compliant au, and shen yuan got dropped off in another's body, he probably has no idea how to take care of his bird features, let alone his wings, like how to align the feathers, removing molted ones, dust bathing to remove excess and stale lipids so his plumage stays fluffy, or taking care of pin feathers (new pin feathers have a blood supply flowing through it, if the pin is damaged, it can bleed pretty heavily!), so he just... doesn't. no more than clumsily washing them when he bathes, anyway. and then his wings start itching, and hurting, and the feathers are all askew, and he has all these tattered clumps and pins that hurt when he picks at it and what is he supposed to do...???

naturally, people notice when the prim proper scholar's peak lord, with the perfect hair and flawless skin, has two disheveled wings trailing after him. some of them are worried it might be some sign of self-neglect (also bc it's specifically his demon features that look uncared for), and of course when shen qingqiu coughs once so to speak, yue qingyuan shows up at his doorstep; and i was thinkingggg..... different peak lords taking turns coming to his bamboo house for some casual wing care and preening..... in some bird species preening each other strengthens the trust and bond between the two, for crows it's even a big aspect of social bonding! crows preen their young, their mates, and sick or injured birds, so it's only nature that a ill-feeling shen qingqiu relies on his companions to help him when he's incapable himself...

also because i can't stop imagining shen qingqiu sprawled out across liu qingge or yue qingyuan's lap in bliss while they very carefully align his feathers and tease out molted ones, maybe freeing some matured pin feathers, feeling akin to having his hair brushed and played with while they take care of hard to reach places (thinking about how allopreening birds in nature often have less ticks/healthier plumage bc other birds reach places they can't, but shen jiu probably wouldn't let anyone touch his wings so some parts of them were always a little... messy).

some birds (like parrots) might even overpreen when exposed to strong scents, so all the peak lords quickly learn not to put on too much or heavy perfume because it makes shen qingqiu rub and dig into his wings until feathers fall out

(and i haven't even mentioned the sheer angst potential of stress plucking, but ahh this ask is already so long!!!)

OOOOH MY GOD!!! That's such a wholesome idea. I can already imagine it - and it's always a fight of who gets to preen Shen Qingqiu's wings, to the point where it actually turns into a fight (thanks to Liu Qingge) and it's almost an all-out brawl until Mu Qingfang (the only reasonable peak lord jhebus) makes everyone draw lots to see who gets to do it (- and then cheats because everyone else is so hyped up from the brawl, and his dear shixiong simply cannot deal with such stress!!). It becomes a natural thing to come up with different ways of deciding (unless Shen Qingqiu asks one, then the others just have to choke on vinegar(kiiiidding sort of)), and the peak lord who got to do it last time is not allowed to participate in the next game because that's unfair! Spitballing about how different peak lords go about offering it at first, if I may!! I think that Qi Qingqi would be actually quite gentle about it - she's used to helping out the girls with their hair and other things (shark week 😔😔), so she knows how to go about being like, "hey, I know we don't always get along but I'm going to help you out with your wings, 'kay?" and he is immediately just like "jesus christ please save me from this torment pleasepleaseplease" - kidding, kidding, he'd be much more hesitant about it because he knows that his wings are delicate and he needs to place his trust in whoever's touching them. Qi Qingqi has been...hostile towards him (because of Shen Jiu, so he can't be too offended), and this could be a moment of weakness (- jesus, bestie boo, I'm making him sound like Shen Jiu) but...his wings hurt :[ At first it's awkward, but then Shen Qingqiu relaxes and it does NOT become a gossip session (it should and it does, you can take that from my cold dead hands). Of course, Yue Qingyuan is the first to offer at all, being all like "xiao-Jiu plleeeaaasseeee 🥺" and who is Shen Qingqiu to resist those puppy dog eyes? He seems to have a history with Shen Jiu so it wouldn't be suspicious of him to deign to allow Yue Qingyuan to help out. Of course, Shen Jiu used to let Yue Qingyuan preen his wings on the streets (if we're going that route), so he's skilled and immediately makes Shen Qingqiu feel comfortable as he feels the itchy feeling in his wings FINALLY disappear with every movement the other man makes. Of course, he should be analysing so he can learn to do it himself but...he's so comfy :( When Liu Qingge first does it, it's on a mission! GASP!! Yue Qingyuan sent them on a mission together because it was a matter of both brute force that needed some form of plan involved that wasn't just "grab smash kill" (and mayyybe he wanted his shidi to bond, who cares? Shen Qingqiu has been a lot less hostile recently, and he's going to take advantage). So, they're out on this mission, and it's a LOT fucking harder than they first thought, leaving them waylaid in the forests (stereotypical I know but screw you (/j)). Shen Yuan's (for brevity's sake) wings are slowly getting worse and he's so very uncomfortable but he can't reach the worse bits so he forces himself to abandon his pride for a second and begrudgingly ask Liu Qingge for help! Obviously, Liu Qingge has no clue what he's doing and has to be guided by Shen Yuan (Liu Qingge later claims to not at all be nervous, but his hands were shaking because he didn't mind this new Shen Qingqiu and didn't reaally want to hurt him). The next time Shen Yuan needs his wings preening, Liu Qingge (literally) kicks the door down to offer to do it. He may seem overly aggressive when he manhandles the peak lord, but he's really quite gentle. I do want to yap about the other peak lords, but this answer's really long already!!! If you want me to, please let me know, because I severely want to expose myself as a Mu Qingfang and Wei Qingwei fan and PLEASE tell me more about the angst potential pretty please, I'll be like Yue Qingyuan at your door with puppy dog eyes. I'm INVESTED NOW, GOD.

Are you still taking prompts? SVSSS with LQG as LBH's shizun lol

I think this one got away from me....

“You ruined him,” Shang Qinghua exclaims, aghast, the first time he sees Liu Qingge’s brand new, first and only disciple.

The Bai Zhan peak lord grunts, offended. “I’ve only had him for two months,” he objects. “I haven’t had time to ruin him.”

Two feet away from them, Shen Qingqiu pivots from where he has been, not holding a conversation with, but staring down an increasingly anxious Secr Leader Yue. He snaps open his fan and holds it before his face, raising an eyebrow at them. He’s been doing that a lot more than usual, recently, ever since the fever. Shang Qinghua has suspicions.

“Liu-shidi has been doing an exemplary job with his new disciple,” the lord of Qing Jing peak says, to the dismay of everyone around him.

Behind his back, two peak lords glumly hand over a handful of coins to a smug looking Qi Qingqi. Bets had been placed on how long the ‘amnesia’ Mu Qingfang had diagnosed Shen-shidi with would hold out before his cruel and acidic nature would once again come forth. Standing up for and complimenting the teaching skills of Liu Qingge was the absolute antithesis of that.

Shang Qinghua has so many suspicions.

“You’re just happy you don’t have that lunatic disciple tearing up your scholarly peak,” the peak lord of the brewery peak, who’s name Shang Qinghua continuously keeps forgetting despite knowing the man for nearly sixty years already.

Shen Qingqiu narrows a look at the man. His fan flutters. “Define ‘don’t’.”

Which is true! Despite having been chosen for Bai Zhan during the selection exams, thirteen year old Luo Binghe has been seen on Qing Jing peak far too often for it to be accidental. The boy just won’t stay away, and furthermore (in an odd twist of events that Shang Qinghua can’t make sense of) doggedly walks in the Qing Jing peak lord as often as circumstance will allow. It drives Shen Qingqiu visibly mad.

“Aren’t you glad,” Shang Qinghua begins, turning his face away as to avoid the suddenly simmering glare his fan-waving shixiong is pinning him with, “that you decided not to take him for your peak after all?”

“It’s not like I had a choice.” Shen Qingqiu sniffs, and then admits, “Truly, it must have been a warning from the gods. I thank them every day for stopping me from making that mistake.”

“Your qi deviation did hit you rather abruptly,” Mu Qingfang murmurs thoughtfully, standing shoulder to shoulder with a slightly richer Qi Qingqi. “There were barely any warning signs. Usually it takes a few days at least for the deviation to get that bad.”

“I’m counting it as divine intervention,” Shen Qingqiu says.

“He’s not that bad,” Liu Qingge tries. The rest of them turn to stare at him incredulously.

“Have you,” Shang Qinghua starts, voice high and stressed, “... have you seen the lumber count? The tree density of your peak has been bulldozed by thirty percent! In two months! Liu-shidi!”

Shen Qingqiu eyes him sharply, but steps back to allow Mu Qingfang to edge closer to him, supposedly in case another nervous breakdown is showing its face. C’mon, Mu-shidi! Shang Qinghua isn’t that delicate!

“What’s a bulldoze,” Liu Qingge asks flaty, and Shang Qinghua makes a small, desperate sound in his throat.

“If I have to file any more arboreal conservation reports in the next decade, I’m going to go to Bai Zhan peak and shave it clean of trees myself.” Shang Qinghua states.

Shen Qingqiu snorts. Actually snorts. The gathered peak lords stare at him in astonishment, and a few more coins exchange hands with a very pleased-looking Qi Qingqi.

“Bald Zhan peak,” the scholarly master mumbles under his breath, and Shang Qinghua abandons his nightmarish daydream of a towering stack of paperwork in order to break into wheezing laughter.

“This is too weird,” the brewery peak lord mutters, edging away from them all. “I’m going to go watch Liu-shixiong’s new disciple pulverize the ranks of his martial siblings.”

“I’ll go with you,” Yue Qingyuan quickly offers, and the two of them, joined by a few others, are fast to disappear.

[sillygoofyqueer]

THE ANGST IS EVERYTHING TO ME. GRIPPING IT IN MY TEETH AND SHAKING IT AROUND LIKE A FERAL ANIMALLL!! The idea that everyone is just really worried about Shen Qingqiu and his wings that slowly have more bald patches is sooo sweet yet sad. I can't stop thinking about it because there's not much that people can do to help him out and stop him stressing because they don't know what's going on! There's nothing he should be stressed about because he seems fine with everything! There is discussions about how on earth they can help out and make him feel better, leaving everyone feeling upset that they can't do much to help. Meanwhile, Shang Qinghua is sat there in the background, feeling guilty to all hell as he stares at the floor because it is kind of, accidentally, his fault that Shen Qingqiu is feeling this way. YAPPING ABOUT THE PEAK LORDS!!!!! TEEHEE. Right, so obviously Mu Qingfang can do about this in the medical professional way - "this isn't good for your wings, and the irritation and such could lead to bigger flare ups of without-a-cure". However, he wants to get to know his shixiong on a personal level! He wants to be able to bond and listen to Shen Qingqiu just like the rest of the peak lords, so he'll take the whole challenge and carefully check everything out, waiting in the wings (hahahaha, I'm hilarious) for Shen Qingqiu's wings to be in need of preening and oooh no, all of the other peak lords got into a big fight for completely unrelated reasons!! Guess Mu Qingfang will take time away from treating them to check up on Shen Qingqiu. Oh dear, his shixiong's wings look to be in need of preening, care for a cup of tea while he does it for him? He's a good shidi, of course he would like to hear about whatever "boring" paperwork is plaguing his poor shixiong. After just one visit to Qing Jing peak, the other peak lords choke on vinegar for a while because Mu Qingfang's gentle disposition and calming smile (NOT pitying or overly coddling (or so he thinks)) is all Shen Qingqiu wants to preen him. Shang Qinghua is too busy being the An Ding peak lord to offer to preen Shen Qingqiu's wings for the longest time, but he is eventually in the room collecting some sort of request or paperwork when Shen Qingqiu finally loses his patience and is just like "preen my wings." Shang Qinghua is undeniably confused, but Shen Qingqiu doesn't care - if the man wrote in wing preening, he should be able to do it, it was only fair. It's really, really awkward until Shang Qinghua starts yapping about where the plot of PIDW was supposed to go and he starts absolutely complaining about how awesome that would have been. They bond through that, and Shang Qinghua is still an overworked peak lord but he actually finds that he also chillaxes after chatting while preening, so it's a fair arrangement! Okay okay, I recently read a characterisation of Wei Qingwei that I cannot stop obsessing over, so I am going to make it everyone's problem. He's like that one dad who's super charming and he loves his kids. Think...charismatic pirate who always likes to tease but does know how to take things seriously!! So, when he first sees Shen Qingqiu with unpreened wings, he obviously goes "the great scholar, looking like he's just gotten out of bed?" and laughs until he gets close enough to pick Shen Qingqiu up (injured wing or not) and then casually carries him through Wan Jian peak (because of course he wouldn't go to Qing Jing peak unnecessarily, it's not his jam) until they get to his house, in which he plops down his shixiong and bribes him into comfort with tea and pastries, going about preening his wings like a father would go about doing his child's hair for the first time - enthusiastic and gentle, but not really knowing what he's doing until the child (Shen Qingqiu) guides him - like, you know when they try and explain to their dad how to braid, but neither of them really know how to do it because it's early on in Shen Qingqiu's transmigration.

I yapped too hard and too long...AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN. I like yapping with you!!! Tell me anything else you think about, I can't stop doing it myself.

ahhh i'm glad you like it!! and you're SPOT ON with the pampering and carrying the other peak lords do<3 whether he's in his small bird form or his big human form with large wings, doesn't matter, he's getting picked up!! (i love liu qingge playing taxi chauffeur and realizing with horror that he likes holding shen qingqiu in his arms a little too much🤭)

also because i can't stop imagining shen qingqiu sprawled out across liu qingge or yue qingyuan's lap in bliss while they very carefully align his feathers and tease out molted ones, maybe freeing some matured pin feathers, feeling akin to having his hair brushed and played with while they take care of hard to reach places (thinking about how allopreening birds in nature often have less ticks/healthier plumage bc other birds reach places they can't, but shen jiu probably wouldn't let anyone touch his wings so some parts of them were always a little... messy).

Qi Qingqi has been...hostile towards him (because of Shen Jiu, so he can't be too offended), and this could be a moment of weakness (- jesus, bestie boo, I'm making him sound like Shen Jiu) but...his wings hurt :[ At first it's awkward, but then Shen Qingqiu relaxes and it does NOT become a gossip session (it should and it does, you can take that from my cold dead hands). Of course, Yue Qingyuan is the first to offer at all, being all like "xiao-Jiu plleeeaaasseeee 🥺" and who is Shen Qingqiu to resist those puppy dog eyes? He seems to have a history with Shen Jiu so it wouldn't be suspicious of him to deign to allow Yue Qingyuan to help out. Of course, Shen Jiu used to let Yue Qingyuan preen his wings on the streets (if we're going that route), so he's skilled and immediately makes Shen Qingqiu feel comfortable as he feels the itchy feeling in his wings FINALLY disappear with every movement the other man makes. Of course, he should be analysing so he can learn to do it himself but...he's so comfy :( When Liu Qingge first does it, it's on a mission! GASP!! Yue Qingyuan sent them on a mission together because it was a matter of both brute force that needed some form of plan involved that wasn't just "grab smash kill" (and mayyybe he wanted his shidi to bond, who cares? Shen Qingqiu has been a lot less hostile recently, and he's going to take advantage). So, they're out on this mission, and it's a LOT fucking harder than they first thought, leaving them waylaid in the forests (stereotypical I know but screw you (/j)). Shen Yuan's (for brevity's sake) wings are slowly getting worse and he's so very uncomfortable but he can't reach the worse bits so he forces himself to abandon his pride for a second and begrudgingly ask Liu Qingge for help! Obviously, Liu Qingge has no clue what he's doing and has to be guided by Shen Yuan (Liu Qingge later claims to not at all be nervous, but his hands were shaking because he didn't mind this new Shen Qingqiu and didn't reaally want to hurt him). The next time Shen Yuan needs his wings preening, Liu Qingge (literally) kicks the door down to offer to do it. He may seem overly aggressive when he manhandles the peak lord, but he's really quite gentle. I do want to yap about the other peak lords, but this answer's really long already!!! If you want me to, please let me know, because I severely want to expose myself as a Mu Qingfang and Wei Qingwei fan and PLEASE tell me more about the angst potential pretty please, I'll be like Yue Qingyuan at your door with puppy dog eyes. I'm INVESTED NOW, GOD.
