#demonic cultivator shen yuan au

[lurkinginnernarrator]

tiny little miniscule snippet from my Shen twins demonic cultivator au

"Right as Liu Qingge was about to enquire, once again, if Shen Qingqiu actually knew where he was going, the man whirled around and with handsigns basically told Qi Qingqi and by proxy Liu Qingge to shut up."

[zebra-rigel]

part 2 of demonic cultivation teachers Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan (warnings are in the tags: they're nothing big, but i just wanted them to be there as an option) (This doesn't include lbh yet, though my boy will be part of the shen's minor sect. I think I'm gonna progress the story linearly and we'll get to him in due time, once everything else is fleshed out ) After some thinking, I've realized that sj and sy wouldn't really have the resources to take care of a newborn, so they leave Ning Yingying in the care of the brothel jiejies and visit every month to give them money. Shen Jiu plans to let the child grow up there, but in a rare act of defiance A-Yuan demands that he buy a house and that they raise her together. Jiu refuses to consider it at all, stating that Shen Yuan's plans lack foresight and logic. At least, until the rumors of some cursed ruins reach his ears.

The interesting thing about cursed ruins, is that if treated with the right combination of rituals they become optimal places to cultivate demonic energy. Naturally, it's land like this that demonic sects build on. Shen Jiu decides to scout the location and its potential for such use.

The twins travel to the village, but as they get closer and closer Shen Jiu's chest starts to tighten, sights and places stirring long-buried memories- it's at the last stretch of the journey, talking to an old woman who sets the story straight for them, that he fully realises they are headed to the burnt husk that is the qiu estate. Shen Yuan shares a few of his memories because of that unfortunate sharing of life-force. He stares at Shen Jiu and quickly turns them around. "We're leaving, right now!" he declares.

Leaving .. can he, really? Shen Jiu remembers being afraid of this place as a slave- he remembers longing without end to leave it. Resenting it.

Weren't the Qius a cultivator family? Hadn't he- almost- ended their clan? If so, what was the next logical step of his revenge ?

Desecrating their property. "No, Yuan," he says finally. He turns to the old lady. "We are cultivators and wish to take a look at those grounds. Is there anyone we may ask?"

"There isn't," she croaks. "The ruins have been all but lost to the forest around it. No one will stop you. I for one, do not think those lands can be cleansed, but I won't stop you from trying."

Shen Yuan waits until they have walked a good distance away. He follows behind Shen Jiu and tugs at his sleeve. "What do you want? What do you intend to do?" "Wait and see," he responds curtly.

The estate is both less and more than he imagined it would be. He remembers the massacre- killing all the men after the women and children had been ordered away by Qiu Jianluo. Not a single witness had been left but Haitang, and he would be happy to demonstrate his experience in murder to her if she was still around. He approaches the supporting pillar of what used to be Jianluo's bedroom. A burst of qi dislodges it from it precarious postion and it falls into the debri around it. His resentment rises- manifests in his qi and mixes with the resentment of those who died there. It is a powerful loop, two streams of water flowing into each other eroding the sand around it. He breathes and slips into meditation. Focuses on the resentment. Slightly, but surely, he feels it strengthening his qi.

Shen Jiu opens his eyes and cuts off the flow. Turns back to A-Yuan. "Well?" he asks. "Isn't it suitable for cultivation?" Shen Yuan stares at him, mouth agape. "Yes, but- don't tell me you're seriuously considering it? This is a great cursed ground, true, but it's also- also!!"

Shen Jiu recognizes that words to express human suffering elude the elegant plant spirit. It marks the difference in experience between them- that no matter how much he is taught and learns, he will never understand shen jiu for what he truly is. A monster. "It's also the place I grew up imprisoned in, you mean? That's what makes it an optimal cultivation area. My resentment is mine to control." Shen Yuan still looks unconvinced. The next thing he says makes Shen Yuan drop his fan on the ground and stare at him with disbelieving shining eyes. He is so easily distracted, Shen Jiu thinks distantly. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angst Anon and @weirdocat83 are giving me ideas!!!

First, two key points.

Point 1:

Assuming Heavenly Demons don’t do the House Targaryen thing, the fact that Tianlang jun was referred to as a ‘full blooded’ Heavenly Demon seems to indicate a ‘full blood’ Heavenly Demon and a member of demon nobility can produce ‘full blood’ Heavenly Demon offspring. It’s only when a Heavenly demon has children with very different demon race (like in Zhuzhi-lang’s case) or a non-demon race (like in Luo Binghe’s case) that the offspring are considered half-Heavenly Demon.

In the case of Heavenly Demon crows, presumably similar rules would apply. A ‘full blood’ Heavenly Demon crow plus a demon crow (or possibly any demon corvid) creates ‘full blood’ Heavenly Demon crow offspring. A Heavenly Demon crow plus a non-corvid demon, or any non-demon race, would produce a half-Heavenly Demon crow instead.

Point 2:

It turns out crows are known for being “socially monogamous but genetically promiscuous,” as the experts put it. One study found that about 18% of each clutch hasn’t been sired by their mother’s permanent partner.

With Heavenly Demon crows being prone to vanity and carelessness, it would make sense for this approximately 1 in 5 ratio to apply to their offspring as well, right?

Now, let us suppose that Shen Yuan had a Heavenly Demon crow parent who had a fling with Yao crow, rather than a demon crow. That would make little Shen Yuan only a half-Heavenly Demon crow, rather than a full one, so of course he’d hatch with less shiny feathers!

As Angst Anon suggested, his Heavenly Demon parent would not be impressed, ultimately resulting in him being left behind when they next moved territories.

That’s where @weirdocat83’s suggestion, that cultivation increases the amount of gold in a Heavenly Demon crow’s feathers, comes in.

While Shen Yuan was abandoned for not being shiny enough, it turns out he’s actually a very skilled cultivator! With his natural aptitude, his diligence, and his knowledge of where to find the most suitable secret techniques, he soon becomes far more golden than any of his full Heavenly Demon crow relatives!

His adoptive crow family is very proud of his achievements. ♥️

(That this gives him more parallels with Luo Binghe, and lets him do both demonic and spiritual cultivation, is an added bonus).

For once, I don't have much to add onto this, because I blabbered about my thoughts on adopted crowyuan with the angst anon. So, you all get this one without my silly ramblings!!! This is so so cool though.

SVSSS Social Media AU, Part One- Bowling Alley Date

Part One (YOU ARE HERE). Read it on Ao3 with drabbles!

Disclaimer: I've never used twitter (or X), so if this doesn't look right please tell me so I can fix it 🙏

Sorry about the quality, I'll try to update this if I figure out how to make it not look like a bag of crushed tortilla chips 😅

[rarepears]

Why not throw in Liu Qingge as sect leader Nie and Yue Qingyuan as Jiang Fengmian, in the Shen Yuan as Wen Rouhan and Luo Binghe as Lan Qiren?

1. Cuz it would be funny as hell if the romance rivalry was mistaken to be between Wen Rouhan and Sect leader nie

2. Jiang Fengmian is a pathetic "sorry without an explanation and im sorry i lack communication" loser, and so is Yue Qingyuan.

So the attack on Lotus Pier that should had killed the Jiang Sect Leader... in fact does kill the Jiang Sect Leader. Not that anyone really realizes because Yue Qingyuan transmigrated into the Jiang Fengmian's body...

It's pretty sad to think that Yue Qingyuan makes a far better father to Jiang Cheng.

But also Yue Qingyuan is having the time of his live vibing with what practically seems to be a happier and noble-raised version of Shen Jiu constantly looking to Yue Qingyuan for comfort and praise. Yue Qingyuan absolutely takes to Jiang Cheng like a duck to water. If Yue Qingyuan is pretending that Jiang Cheng is the adopted son he could be raising with Shen Jiu... well that's another story.

Since I do like the Nie and don't want to kill them off, why not have Liu Qingge as Xue Yang XD

Liu Qingge is in a pickle~ But he's got enough brains to get himself out of this mess once he gets enough rumors about Wen Ruohan's "romance" with the kidnapped Lan hostage which suspiciously sounds far too much like Luo Binghe kidnapping Shen Qingqiu('s corpse) to the demonic lands...

[hiemaldesirae]

okay so first of all. to understand any of what is happening with this au you must first understand that i am deranged .

alright now that thats covered: pidw!bingge getting yeeted into bunhes body meeting demonic cultivator sj and his transmigrated son who has read pidw so sy is constantly suspicious of lbg whos trying to win over his not so nice but not that cruel shizun is a very self indulgent and therefore canon part of this au.

(i am also undecided on whether or not i want the rest of cqms to also remember things from pidw. I will See)

[thesadisticsiren]

Shen Yuan is transmigration sillyputty. Observe.

AU where he transmigrates into a rogue cultivator? Love those. Demonic cultivator for some spice, secret cultivator, beast expert cultivator, and more!

Transmigrate into a no name desciple? It's good to expand on dynamics. Same age as the protagonist? His shidi? His shixong? Or is he among the Qing generation of disciples! Lots of options.

Into a pidw harem member? Why not? There's at least 300 of them, go nuts, make one up for kicks or pick a canonical name to play with! Canon's your oyster.

Into other existing characters? Of course, that just makes sense. Other peak lords, other cultivators, his students, whatever suits your fancy.

Into a random new npc somewhere in the world doing average stuff? We love the creativity. A young master, a scholar, sometimes a farmer.

Into a sword! Love it!! Xiu Ya, Xin Mo, or maybe he's a different artifact entirely!

Into a demon? Definitely, there's several. Noble demons, no name wife material demons, new never before seen kinds of demons.

Into a CAT!? WE GOT YOU. other animals too, but catzun is classic. Dragons are also up there.

Into a worm?!? We love him even as a worm.

Into a SYSTEM? IVE SEEN AT LEAST 2 OF THESE.

He's sillyputty. We throw him at transmigration concepts to see how he sticks.

[fairsweetlonging]

time travel au where liu qingge and shen qingqiu (yuan) end up accidentally traveling a decade back in time before luo binghe was amitted to qing jing peak and before shen qingqiu had his qi deviation, but after their generation has risen to peak lords.

which means, shen yuan realizes quickly, as they're accosted by said peak lords, that he will have to face shen jiu.

as they're being cleared for demonic energy and the likes, mu qingfang of course instantly detects the poison without a cure eating away at shen yuan's meridians. liu qingge pulls a copy of the treatment plan out of his sleeve (shen yuan blushes a bit, did liu qingge always keep that on hand?), and just like in the current timeline, they agree to keep it under wraps.

shen jiu tries various times to get a moment alone with shen yuan, but he never quite manages because liu qingge is there, who is also... nice?? to him?? for some reason?? shen jiu gets a bit flustered at the solemn politeness and skitters off.

it comes out pretty quickly that shen yuan has "memory loss", and thus can't remember anything that's currently taking place in this time. shen yuan expects scorn, hatred and disdain from shen jiu, expects to be grabbed and interrogated, to arouse suspicion.

but shen jiu looks....... sad???

being transported here threw shen yuan's qi off-balance (even liu qingge had to sit down, which means it's bad), and his cultivation is already so unstable, so when the peak lords are all squabbling and arguing and threatening and raising their voice, he can feel his body shut down. he sees yue qingyuan start to move towards him, which, knowing the future yue qingyuan, he really isn't up for right now—but before the sect leader can get to him someone else is at his back, transferring him qi, holding him up gently by his shoulders, then coaxing him up, leading him outside

shen yuan's been fed qi by every peak lord at least once. he doesn't recognize this one. that means it can only be one person.

he looks up. it's shen jiu.

and it's bizarre, getting fussed over by the scum villain, having gentle hands run along his back, his hair, that clear, soothing voice calming him down. and somehow shen jiu knows exactly what to do?? somehow it works perfectly on him?? it's almost as if shen jiu has known him his whole—

oh.

bodies, like homes, hold memories, even if the original occupants are no longer there. it's the milestone marks on the doorpost that chart a child's growth, blurry photographs faded by time, scuffed floors from well-walked paths, and tiny holes in the walls where pictures once hung.

shen jiu takes him to the bamboo house, pours him tea, and asks, calmly, what he remembers from their childhood.

it's not his childhood, so shen yuan doesn't actually remember anything, but the body he's in does. the memories it holds are emotional rather than visual; he remembers being alone, scared, and hungry. he remembers anger, pain. a dark room. loud voices. he remembers his heart skipping a beat when heavy boots stomp his way. the sound of a whip.

he doesn't have to lie. the memories aren't his own, and they're from long ago, which means shen jiu has them too. and, he supposes, this is his only chance to find out what really happened.

but shen jiu doesn't say anything about it. he just nods and stares, intensely. then he asks shen yuan if he remembers yue qingyuan. shen yuan says no, he doesn't. the conversation takes a very strange turn after that. shen yuan can't help but feel a little queasy when shen jiu asks him if yue qingyuan has taken advantage of his memory loss.

"has he come into your home? has he brought you gifts, sweets? does he invite you for tea? did you accept?"

he has. shen yuan doesn't know why that would be a problem, the sect leader has been nothing but kind and helpful and patient. and generous, too.

when he says yes shen jiu looks furious.

liu qingge (his one) comes to pick him up, and his time with shen jiu is cut short. somewhere he's glad, cuddling into liu qingge's back as he holds him while they fly. he feels a little bad for yue qingyuan, knowing he's probably caused a big fight, but it doesn't sit right with him. he wishes he knew what happened.

.

liu qingge, meanwhile, is having the time of his life fighting himself. it's good practice!

[everytimewetouch-dot-mp3]

svsss omegaverse au where only those with profound cultivation ability develop into alphas or omegas. this means both powerful spiritual cultivators and powerful demon lines

under luo binghe’s rule, any alpha or omega in the general populace is brought to bingge’s palace. omega women are added to the harem without question, tho there are a notable few alpha women there as well (shl and lmy).

sy transmigrates into a wandering omega cultivator exploring the world (the world building was the best part of that dumbfuck novel and now he gets to experience it firsthand!!!). his exploration quickly takes him from the few safe remaining human cities and into the wider world.

he’s chased for days by different demon groups until one finally catches him, because junshang’s been hell-bent on finding some particular male omega for the past few months. he’s put out a bounty and everything; whoever brings the right omega gets riches and their choice of one treasure from junshang’s vault.

everyone thinks he’s gonna kill this dude. they assume the omega wronged junshang somehow and he wants revenge. sy is scared absolutely shitless. these guys tie him up in immortal binding cables and beat him up a little bit. by the time they make it to the underground palace, sy looks fuckin rough

and surprisingly, lord luo is not pleased by this. so displeased, in fact, that he cuts the demons down right there in the middle of his reception hall? sy is 100% sure he’s gonna be next and he nearly passes out when bingge approaches. (part of him is screaming because!!!! luo binghe!!! in the flesh!!!!! with an air of power and deadly beauty and strength!!!! the protagonist!!!)

lbg studies sy’s face for a minute, then has servants take him away. he’s bathed (THOROUGHLY!! maybe TOO thoroughly!!! he can wash his own ass!! thank you!!) and styled, and with the cables removed he can finally heal his injuries from being captured.

the next time they meet, lbg seems weirdly angry. his hands are shaking and his face is red, and every time he makes eye contact with sy, he growls and looks sharply away. he’s definitely barely holding back from killing sy!! maybe it’s because sy left the human cities? maybe it’s because he was poking around somewhere off-limits?? sy has no idea what he did.

lbg leads him down down to the water prison, and again sy almost passes out. my mans definitely pukes into the water just from the smell alone. it’s…a gory scene. but what’s most unsettling about it isn’t the emptiness in sqq’s eyes or the desperate grunting that only becomes louder the closer lbg brings sy.

what’s most unsettling is how similar they look. they could be brothers, their family resemblance is powerful. same face shape, same nose, same cheekbones.

and sy gets it then. bingge is done playing with sqq; there’s nothing really left to do to him (though he’s still got his dick…sy was one of the loudest proponents of cutting it off for what he did to ning yingying!) so lbg must be looking for a replacement.

lbg studies them both for a long time, as if cataloguing all the similarities between their faces. the whole time, sy is shaking, trying not to fall over. eventually, lbg must be satisfied, because he looks sy up and down slowly before muttering. ‘you’ll do for now. we can see how you measure up.’

POORLY!!! shen yuan is determined to measure up extremely poorly to that old shizun of lbg’s!! to save his own skin, he’ll be nothing like that asshole!!

thus begins shen yuan’s plan to treat the emperor with such doting, kind respect that he’ll see nothing of sqq in him beyond his unfortunate face!! surely lord luo won’t want to kill someone so kind to him!!

(every measure of shen yuan’s kindness is overwhelming to lbg. after so long he’s found what that other him flaunted in his face. a close relative of his shizun’s, no doubt, (maybe a twin separated at birth?) who became that other binghe’s shizun in that timeline. he’s kind and gentle and so concerned with binghe’s wellbeing in a way…no one has since his mother, so so long ago. that one morning with the other shizun was so sweet, but this—having this omega here in his palace, fussing at him to eat more and dress more warmly when he goes to the north, smiling unrestrained, smelling so impossibly sweet—this is so much better than he could have imagined. luo bingge will convince this shen yuan to be his omega. not as a concubine, but as a proper wife. first wife, maybe. empress, even. whatever it takes to get him to say yes. whatever it takes to keep him.)

[l33n1s]

Disciple Shen Yuan AU but he joins QJ Peak right after Lou Binghe gets pushed into the Abyss. He does NOT know where in the plot he is until it's too late. He's already joined and he can't Just Leave. So he sits himself down and is like "ok new plan, learn as much as possible in the next 5 years and dip before Lou Binghe destroys the sect, got it? Got it."

So he cultivates as hard as he can, turns out he's like a cultivation prodigy. Super cool. He does cultivation things. He gets his spiritual sword. He gets ready to leave and the system won't let him.

The system gives him a mission called "Save Cang Qiong ‼️‼️". So he's freaking out, he thinks he's gonna have to fight Lou Binghe. He's planning his funeral (internally). He's hyping himself up to at least try his best.

Anyway Binghe shows up, gets wife-beamed with the strength of a nuclear missile. Doesn't destroy the sect.

Shen Yuan is very confused when the system pops up with a "Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Important things must be said three times! Congratulations on completing mission 'Save Cang Qiong ‼️‼️'!".

Liu Mingyan writes some bs probably entitled something like "Stuck Between My Shizun and My Demon Shixiong 🥺🥺"

[silentheiss]

AU where Shen Yuan transmigrates as a rogue cultivator one year after Luo Binghe’s been thrown into Abyss.

His transmigration experience isn’t as smooth as it could be — upon waking up he realizes that half of the forest is burned and that there’s a huge tear in the ground where the flames are coming from. By smell alone he’d be able to recognize the Abyss, despite being in this world for less than five minutes.

Before Shen Yuan can run for his life, though, he notices something. One bloody hand grasping the edge of the tear. He reaches out without thinking, heart in his throat, and pulls out half-delirious protagonist from hell itself.

As soon as Luo Binghe’s out, the tear closes neatly, and Shen Yuan’s now got an unconscious man on his lap. He should be terrified — who knows how Luo Binghe, future Demon Lord and mass murderer might react when he wakes up? Only, he doesn’t look like a murder, does he? He’s thin, pale, and his mouth is slightly open.

There’s blood in his hair and his clothes are all torn, and his claws are sharp and aura’s clearly demonic, but all that Shen Yuan can see is a kid. A kid who cannot be older than nineteen.

It’s hard to think about all the what-ifs once Luo Binghe’s brows furrow and he whines really, really quietly, as if he’s afraid to attract attention even in his sleep.

Shen Yuan sighs, stands up, lifts unconscious body as gently as he can, and starts towards the village. He rents a small shack of a house with the money he finds in his poach and spends three hours cleaning up and redressing Luo Binghe. This might get him killed after all, but he can’t leave him like that. There’re still bleeding wounds underneath all the gore.

Shen Yuan tends to them as well as he can manage.

Whatever happens when Luo Binghe wakes up, whatever canon divergence he accidentally caused, he’s not letting this kid suffer anymore.

[lurkinginnernarrator]

Shen twins or bros au where the Shens go through Qiu Manor and Wu Yanzi together but only Shen Jiu joins Cang Qiong with Yue Qingyuan. Cut to Cang Qiong facing a problem that needs the expertise of a demonic cultivator and Shen Jiu presents the most powerful and elusive demonic cultivator as his brother

...how is it that the demonic cultivator brother is nicer than the one dressed in pastels

[zebra-rigel]

Hi hi!! About your demon cultivator SJ and Plant Spirit SY teachers au:

I'd been wondering how Shen Jiu got into demon cultivator but then I realized that, wait, he DOES have an ass of a shizun, so maybe that's how. Which means whatever the canon SJ had got going on, he'd have much worse in this au. He'd be more evil, more direct in his cunningness, more of the badass villain that he is.

Okay now that led me into thinking about those I-can-fix-him posts but with plant spirit SY, and who's to say he hadn't made it worse instead? As in, SJ and SY do have to spend quality time (a lot of time, even) to open up and do his part in fixing SJ, plus they do kinda share the same memories (I think I remember one of your posts saying SY shares SJs memories) and life force and all, but BUT hear me out. SJ never had never met such a pure soul before, not with any malicious intents that humans reek of, and SY is such a precious gem how could he not attached? Sneakily inserting insecurity and anxiety+attachment issues here...

Maybe that's why SJ yeets LBH into the Abyss? Because the kid got too close to his kind of adopted brother? But that said, he saved Ming Gan and Ning YingYing among other kids. So this goes against my theories because I portrayed him as more unstable and an evil-ey person. (Close to Bingge, I guess?)

Okay so perhaps Shen Yuan did heal Shen Jiu and maybe LBH wouldn't be yeeted off a cliff out of jealousy. He's kinder here anyway.

First of all, thanks for the ask! I'm very excited to answer your questions :) sorry in advance cause I wrote it at different times so it's a bit long and wonky, (ᵕ—ᴗ—) so be prepared lol

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How Shen Jiu became a demonic cultivator

Shen Jiu didn't get into demonic cultivation as much as he stayed in it- it was a direct pipeline from Wu Yanzi's tutelage to becoming an established demonic cultivator himself. (I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but what I do know happened is that when they visited the Immortal Alliance Conference, Shen Jiu recognized Yue Qingyuan and fled.)

I think that canon Shen jiu would have killed himself before turning to demonic cultivation as a lifestyle, so in my au Wu Yanzi is different from canon. While he was he was just as much of an asshole and bastard, this one was at least a competent teacher. The way Shen Jiu travelled as a wandering cultivator is based on his lifestyle whicle travelling with Wu Yanzi. The man used to take him to demonic sects in an attempt to have him learn their cultivation techniques aslong with the various aspects of demonic cultivator culture, which is completely different from the lifestyles of immortals.

In my au demonic cultivation is something that CAN be done right but only if you start cultivating early and correctly. As an example: Ming Fan is going to become a perfectly healthy demonic cultivator as long as he follows his shizun's teachings and is brought up in the right environment. (cursed grounds with plenty of demonic qi)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which means whatever the canon SJ had got going on, he'd have much worse in this au. He'd be more evil, more direct in his cunningness, more of the badass villain that he is.

Is this SJ worse than canon SJ? Yes but also SY is there so it's toned down a bit. he's kinda projecting onto sy with his qi-ge xiao jiu issues. he'll get better over time, I swear, but I also wanted sy to be kind of an enabler initially. (for the angst. because he's a plant spirit and doesn't have the right context for sj's actions and how self-destructive they are)

Okay now that led me into thinking about those I-can-fix-him posts but with plant spirit SY, and who's to say he hadn't made it worse instead?

mwahaha Exactly! Shen Jiu really will protect A-Yuan any way he knows how.

SJ never had never met such a pure soul before, not with any malicious intents that humans reek of, and SY is such a precious gem how could he not attached? Sneakily inserting insecurity and anxiety+attachment issues here...

I SWEAR you picked this out of my head, that is exactly the dynamic they have going on asfksfsdagdf

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe that's why SJ yeets LBH into the Abyss? Because the kid got too close to his kind of adopted brother?

kind of YES? The comments on the sj's bad disciplinary methods poll reminded me of how utterly sj hates men(thx @kgne-k) and taking @meemawdeen's suggestion shen yuan now takes on all male disciples and shen jiu takes all the female disciples!

I now have a silly goofy idea where the disciples have a 'hidden rivalry' which is official in sj's eyes, except they also actually really vibe with each other <3

SJ sees it like bai zhan peak and qing jing peak but toned down(?) while to shen yuan it's like 'ah, my disciples must be permenantly in the awkward getting to know each other polite stage'

but my actual mental image is closer to like, 'all-boys boarding school within two blocks of an all-girls boarding school' (this is an extremely niche reference stemming from my preteen hyperfixation on ruskin bond and enid blyton books so feel free to ignore it)

SO ANYWAYS, because of this 'rivalry'+forced divide (enforced by sj, though sy has no idea) it takes sj a good three years to realize that the sweet personal disciple apparently attending to and being fawned over by shen yuan is NOT ning yingying as he had previously assumed but instead. his Fucking half-heavenly demon disciple who can't even get his seal to break. Cue Shizun re-introducing 'Throw him into the Endless-Abyss' into the list of 'Possible ways to get Luo Binghe's seal to Break (so we can finally Use his Heavenly Demon Blood)'.

So this goes against my theories because I portrayed him as more unstable and an evil-ey person. (Close to Bingge, I guess?)

It's interesting that you thought of him as close to Bingge cause I do too, but more like- a bing-meified Bingge? Does that make sense? Like he used to be totally down for a few rounds of murder and ritual sacrifice but now he has kids and a brother to look after so its off the table (◔_◔)

He's kinder here anyway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope I answered all your questions, please tell me if I missed anything! Thanks for reading if you made it this far <3

Crowyuan making a cameo in WWX’s donghua crow army. 😂

Listen, he took a wrong turn to try and find a certain artifact (was it important? Ehhhh. Was it shiny?....he wouldn't say NO exactly....) and got lost!! Luckily, he found a bunch of crows all flocking in the same direction, so he just follows them! Hold...hold on...is this a BIG PLOT MOMENT FROM ANOTHER BL?!??!?! WHAT'S GOING ON???

[sleepyssnail]

I was inspired by the insufferapoll (specifically Luo Binghe's round against Qi Rong) and have nurtured the brain worm that has become a rather silly social media au. It's part fanfiction and part images, and showcases the absolutely unhinged mind of Luo Binghe (and Shen Yuan)

So I'm humbly asking @alex-writes-whatever @unreliable-narratoe @shizunitis (you're stuck with me now hahaha!) and anyone else who wants to chime in for advice on user handles and display names for the MXTX characters I have decided to throw into this situation.

They include but are not limited to:

Luo Binghe himself

Ming Fan

Ning Yingying (just needs a display name)

Liu Mingyan

Gongyi Xiao

Zhuzhi Lang

Tianlang Jun (bonus points if there's a DILF joke)

Mobei Jun

Any of the Peak Lords

and to add some spice (because Luo Binghe is everywhere and no one can escape him) the mdzs juniors

Lan Sizhui

Lan Jingyi

Jin Ling

Ouyang Zizhen

I have stand-in names for a few of them, but would love some advice since...usernames are not my strongest skill.

[rarepears]

We've had madam lan/binghe x Qinghengjun/Shen yuan, zhuliu binghe and wen chao yuan, but what about wen ruohan and lan Qiren?

You bring up a great point!

Luo Binghe gets to live out his fantasies of being a righteous Qing Jing cultivator getting kidnapped by the bad boy (and equally hot) version of shizun.

Why yes, I'm saying that Luo Binghe is Lan Qiren. It's funnier that way. Plus Luo Binghe doesn't have to live being given suspicious looks by cultivators and being doubted the truthfulness of his promises all the time (as no doubt happens in SVSSS being a demon emperor and all).

Plus Wen Chen and Wen Xu get whipped into proper cultivators by their dad aka Shen Qingqiu. Shen Qingqiu would also make a far better emperor of the cultivation world - he's more hands on and good at paperwork/bureaucratic stuff. Luo Binghe gets to be the Lan consort who's been kidnapped by the wicked Wen and tied down every night for dastardly bed sports.

Luo Binghe gets a little too into roleplaying all of this, as you can imagine.

It's a good thing that Shen Yuan is used to indulging his husband's silly whims.
