#god i absolutely love SQH no one else is doing it like him

[nibbelraz]

I completely forgot about the second "Daddy Airplane" incident

[ghostclowning]

another day of zhushen agenda BUT it's ZZL being unreasonably hot when SQQ least expects him to. Like when he's talking to SQQ politely and calmly, then some demon tries to approach them and he gives them such a death glare that the poor thing perishes immediately regardless of its intentions. Then he turns back to SQQ and he's now absolutely normal. But SQQ isn't normal at all. He's never been hornier in his life. Gentle ZZL is cool but /srs ZZL???maybe even mad ZZL?? Fuck yes. Although perhaps he's feeling so safe thinking about such things only bc he knows for sure his husband won't ever intentionally hurt him. He really wants to hear ZZL call him a "bad boy" now though, whew.

And SQQ also likes to randomly touch ZZL muscles(if it doesn't distract him, of course...but sometimes even if it distracts him. After all, so far he never objected). Pure amazement. He wonders if ZZL could beat LQG if they had no swords(of course he wouldn't let these two fight, this sure would end up traumatic for both...but just for the sake of mental experiment? It's never wrong to imagine hot men in blood-). And he also thinks how he can do whatever with ZZL only bc ZZL chooses to allow him. Like "I braid his hair but he could easily braid my limbs! Sheesh!" But ZZL is just ready to tolerate any shit he does, even when he goes drinking with SQH(it never ends well)(ZZL gives him the /srs stare afterwards which SQQ a little bit enjoys ... secretly....).

[The truth is, he probably considers literally anything still better than standing lines for lewd fanfics]

Sometimes SQQ purposely tries to tease ZZL, but it often leads to an outcome he didn't expect, even if at first things go smoothly...He once tried to make his snake husband a little jealous, joke-flirting with soemone, but ZZL was just keeping silent, although he clearly was upset. Once they were left alone, he said he thought what he and master Shen had was just between them. SQQ was just heartbroken cuz his boy seemed so sad about it<3 He tries to reassure ZZL he was just fucking around but then ZZL pins him to the wall, grabs both his hands, immobilizing him with ease, his glance calm as ever but unusually stern.

"Master Shen has spoken enough today. But I see that I don't satisfy master Shen enough."

"Not at all, Xizhi-lang..."

"I have a name."

"...Ah? Sorry, Zhuzhi-lang...You really satisfy me! I was just being silly..."

"No need to pretend now. I understand," Zhuzhi-lang leans in and shuts him up with a kiss. Oh no. Practice shows that his 'understanding' of things is often different from normal... "If so, I'm afraid I have to fix my mistakes."

His firm tone makes SQQ feel things. God damn it, maybe he actually doesn't mind whatever is going to happen now. Although it wouldn't be so sweet if ZZL gave him a dose of blood parasites to control him. Yeah that would be less hot.

"I will make love to you all night. For every sound that you make, I will keep going."

SQQ had no idea how vocal he was in bed until now, and he cursed this trait of his now, because he also had no idea how long demons can go on. ZZL only let him go when he started literally begging for mercy. This really was enjoyable until SQQ got completely exhausted, and when he realized ZZL still stops when he asks properly, he thought that he certainly will do this again... sometime. When he's able to walk again, probably. Maybe.

SQQ also grew used to the snakes, even the demonic ones. When ZZL is not home, he talks to them instead. Keeps a little bowl of water for them even. Unexpectedly, him befriending the snakes actually helped to get them out of his bed... When ZZL saw how friendly he got with them, he gave him a strange look, but he hasn't found a single snake in his bed or in his clothes since. They still were everywhere else around the house, but, apparently, have learned that some things are not to be touched. They still touch master Shen himself though, but they, apparently, also were taught not to do so if master Shen minds...and this man once said he can't do anything about his snakes, huh?

And also SQQ collected a piece of snake skin ZZL shed. When ZZL found out, he was a little...repulsed. "Why would one collect something that came off their body? You don't collect fallen off hair..."

"But it's not hair! It's a piece of snake skin. It looked cool."

"...Should I start collecting master Shen's dead skin..."

"...uhm, alright, alright, you have a point. Please don't-"

"If master Shen likes such things, I could-"

"Please don't"

SQQ had no doubt ZZL could make all the snakes shed right in their house, and he clearly didn't need that. Did SQQ get rid of that one piece of snake skin though? Absolutely not.

Y'all an angst #moshang thought for this day of our lord, Sunday:

So, we all know that MBJ is Airplane's ideal man, right? He put every little trope he loved into him, carefully planned out every inch of his appearance, his likes, his dislikes, his quirks, his wants, his dreams No one in both worlds could know and love MBJ more than Airplane does.

So why wouldn't he have written a self insert that could stay with him?

I mean, yeah, Binghe is his power fantasy for sure. A way to get back at the world and be cool and awesome and loved!

But...

As he's planning out MBJ, wouldn't thoughts linger on having your ideal man love the real you?

So, Airplane created SQH, the truly faithful avatar of himself and placed him in PIDW

The same mild and upsetting backstory. The parents that didn't want him. The tragedy of working hard and being overlooked, yearning desperately for recognition, for care, for family and love...

And the resentment. The anger. The hate. The greedy voracious desire to survive. The need for revenge.

He keeps writing and writing this character until it all becomes too real, too fast.

Airplane rereads what he wrote and he hates SQH.

He hates this backstabbing rat if a man.

This weak excuse of a person.

He hates to see himself reflected so perfectly on the page, the neat summary of all his faults.

This horrible little cretin... Doesn't deserve his ideal man. Not his favorite. Not his MBJ

So, Airplane kills him.

Because that's what people like them deserve.

He makes sure MBJ is thorough.

People like them are like weeds. You had to rip everything out, by the root, until there was nothing left to cling to or else....

He looked around his hole of an apartment

Scum always found a way to stay alive.

That's why it's so easy to integrate into SQH'S life when he transmigrates.

The time period and the world are alien, but the life is still the same.

Unwanted.

Unloved.

Uncared for.

At least they gave him the benefit of an adult mind

SQH couldn't fathom reliving the hurt of trying to get a parents approval and failing again and again and again another life time around.

No.

This time his walls are there to protect his heart.

This time... This time... This time he will suffer but it'll be ok.

He's used to it by now.

Of course, he doesn't do things as SQH did. Being the author and almost thirty when he got to CQM had its perks.

He doesn't linger in disappointment when his parents don't care where he goes. He doesn't dwell on dismissals from his teachers. He's tough against bullying.

He knows how to survive all of these things.

What he doesn't know, however, is how to survive MBJ.

The first he sees the man of his dreams, something breaks inside SQH'S heart.

God.

He's so perfect.

So beautiful and strong and just the right amount of menacing. He's tall and fierce and even wounded, there's pride in every gesture, in every step.

It's love at first sight

It's a love that endured meeting the demon that would become his ideal man.

A love that endured falling out of love with that spoiled, violent, demanding little cretin.

A love that endured and became stronger as they became adults together, matured together.

A love everlasting.

But also a love unrequited.

Because Airplane wrote it this way.

How could someone made absolutely perfect like MBJ could ever love scum like Airplane?

So he doesn't say anything.

He turns a blind eye to what could be considered expressions of love for demons and keeps his head down.

He keeps his walls up. He builds himself a tower and shoves his foolish heart inside and throws away the key

Because he knows scum like him have to die.

It is the law of the world. He wrote it so.

But he desperately wants to live. He's finally, *finally*, getting a hang of living. Of why people like it.

He's got a bit of an odd family in the form of his kids in his peak

A job that's finally being recognized as important.

And the man of his dreams. Right there. Where Airplane can see him, touch him, make awful, snide observations and gossip with.

Be in his presence.

If MBJ were to find out the depths of his love...

He would be disgusted.

To be loved by one so low, so weak, so plain, so petty and lazy and greedy and bad. He was so... Bad.

His king would kill him.

Or worst.

Reject him.

And SQH wasn't strong enough for that.

So locked away those feelings would go.

Because scum deserved to die. But if you left them even a little bit of hope, they would dig their heels into the ground and cling to life.

SQH was scum. He'd been scum for two lifetimes now. And one day, his king was going to kill him.

So maybe if can pretend to be good for just a little while...

Maybe he can deserve some time with the love of his life. Just for a while longer.

#asdhj i have this open in two tags because i absolutely cannot hold this many thoughts in my head#Too long??? NO#i mean maybe now it is sorry#I LOVE SU XIYAN OK#COOL GHOST LADY YES#as for your moshang thoughts#<3<3<3#you know those fics where mbj thinks sqh is a god and is like 'yes of course he is it all makes sense now'?#i feel like his reaction would be similar but also really painful#god!sqh is just seeing the same person and getting the piece of the puzzle that you could sort of intuit#ghost!sqh is like... this person changed irrevocably and you didn't notice this person became SOMETHING ELSE and you didn't notice#this person could tell your body to turn itself inside out and he still cowers before you and acts like your servant and washes your feet#this person has power that marks him as MORE of an enemy to humans than you somehow#and every time it comes up he goes Wow look at the time I am SO hungry aren't you hungry dawang?#also re: demon's reaction imagine the whole demon realm trying to claim sqh now that hes 'one of them'#he's so confused#they keep offering him positions!#are those threats? demands? are they trying to conspire against MBJ?#ALSO wtf is sect leader giving other sects a big fuck you in a polite smile? for him??#yeah yqy defaults to sect harmony. his shifu taught him jack shit except Keep A Front so he keeps a front and rolls with it#also trying to replace sqh sounds like a nightmare#his disciples have been petitioning silently#'here is sect leader's clean laundry this disciple followed shifu's instructions precisely'#'oh qiong ding needs more supplies of course shifu always makes sure to process requisitions promptly'#oh god so many random thoughts sorry!!!

The idea of a sinkhole city is super fun! There could a decoy town up topside so no one would get suspicious over there being a shit load of people traveling to nowhere (and so the residents that require sunlight [ie. humans and probably a fair amount of demons] can get their fix). And underneath this little town, there's this extremely weird sprawl of caves, caverns and underground lakes/forests.

I don't know if I'll actually implement this but– SQH's an author in his own story, and he's as limited as he is empowered by the narrative. He can change things in the story, he can twist and cut away at his narrative, his characters, his own role, he can set the scene and tell his own characters how their stories will go and have it come true (he can make a new ending. a new beginning.) BUT– SQH's powers here applies to stories and their audiences. And his stories have to be true. The world he lives in is a story made real, and so he can't just say "the Old Palace Master leaves us the fuck alone, the end" because that isn't something the Old Palace Master would do. That wouldn't be true, it wouldn't make sense, and it wouldn't be convincing. SQH can tell his stories and he can make them anew, but they have to fit into the narrative or they're just ineffective lies. There has to be truth, there has to be belief. He has to come up with the circumstances or straight up make the person he's talking to believe him so much it comes true. And– there has to be someone or something to listen. which is where the sinkhole city comes in. I have this concept that when you put your time and care into something, it becomes you. Every day, you go around shedding pieces of yourself and the things you spent the most love and time on soak up the essence of you, until they are boldly yours. For example: the food our loved ones make most often always has something to them that we can never replicate. So in a world that is a story come true, where there is cultivation and demons and everyday miracles, ones qi can... sink into things or places. Mark them. And ghosts can take this a step further: or at least, a ghost like SQH can. My point: the sinkhole city works on folk/fairytale rules, bending the narrative around it like SQH can. If you make a convincing enough argument for why it should be possible, you can find shortcuts that take you to the other end of the city in two minutes. Belief is half the reason most of the paths exist, and therefore, not all the paths exist for the same people. Everything– trees, animals, lakes, inanimate objects, people– has a story to tell. No one ever runs out of ink. It's a strange place, for strange people.

On an "unrelated" note: An Ding never loses anything again. Stolen, yes, sometimes. But not lost. (It's attributed to the new organization systems. It's attributed to luck. It's neither.)

Also, I fucked up when talking about demon society's opinions on ghost!SQH. If SQH isn't even telling anyone in his entire sect, much less MBJ himself, then demon society isn't fucking finding out either. Besides, even if there was a point where MBJ knew, SQH would want to keep his ghost persona and his SQH, MBJ's servant persona separate. So I don't think demon society would figure out until MBJ became king AT LEAST, and by that point, SQH has definitely made up a new ghost identity to separate from his ghost calamity identity. So they'd be VERY confused on when SQH died and how, and the only thing they're getting from SQH and MBJ is that SQH won't be fading anytime soon.

Also yeah i love su xiyan my cold-hearted beloved :) i thought on it more and i have a couple ideas for her what her powers are based on: definitely a justice/retribution ghost, but the angle i could put on that could either be more focused on legal trials/an actual justice system and thus moral/criminal transparency, or sometime more in the hunting down abusers and idiots that keep getting away with heinous crimes direction. definitely the sort of ghost to hunt you down and drag you out of your house to force you to admit your deeds. Either way, I can see her gaining a following. If the righteous cultivators and gods won't answer you, you have to turn to other means.

DROOGPROXY YOU HAVE KILLED ME!!!! ALL OF THIS???

#god!sqh is just seeing the same person and getting the piece of the puzzle that you could sort of intuit#ghost!sqh is like... this person changed irrevocably and you didn't notice this person became SOMETHING ELSE and you didn't notice

YES!!! EXACTLY!!!! Figuring out that SQH is the man who wrote this world into being is the one secret that makes sense of EVERYTHING he is. You can't even call him a liar– the guilt, the knowledge, the sheer fucking bizarreness of this man– it all makes SENSE. It's like MBJ is trying to read SQH but SQH is printed in a fucking FOREIGN LANGAUGE!! and so MBJ goes and tries to learn the foreign language that is humans because SQH is his baseline for humanity and therefore he has NO fucking idea how much of a biased view he's getting. So MBJ starts learning and he thinks he's making progress but it doesn't matter! SQH is still like fucking hieroglyphics to him! There's like six different types of culture clash separating them and MBJ and the entire SVSSS world is only seeing one of them!! MBJ finding out that SQH is a god from another world and time who created the world has to be, fundamentally, a relief. It means MBJ isn't bad at understanding humans: he just picked the one fucking outlier. It must be a little like coming home: one of the two most difficult misunderstanding standing between them so suddenly cleared.

And then there's SQH being a ghost. SQH being a ghost explains nothing of his strangeness. It has none of the closure the first discovery offers and all the delicacy of a knife to the heart. All it does is open the doubts and hurts in MBJ further– why didn't he tell me? When did he die? Was it on a mission I sent him on? Was he afraid (when he died, when he came back, when he was changed and had to adjust alone)? Does he blame me and would he tell me if he did? Until the Airplane Extras, MBJ doesn't know that SQH is hurting and afraid of him. To MBJ, things are extremely clear: SQH is a revolutionary force in MBJ's live and represents safety (a home to heal and relax in, food and medicine) and unflinching loyalty, and to SQH MBJ represents safety (physical and political protection) even though he's infuriatingly shy about actually calling in favors/the life debt. But finding out about SQH's ghosthood rips MBJ's perception of their relationship apart. It doesn't create new faults, but instead reveals the ones already there that MBJ didn't know about. Because MBJ knows SQH likes to be self-sufficient and doesn't like coming to MBJ about his hurts... but he would come to MBJ about the serious things, right? Except: he won't. He won't. The most important person in MBJ's live will die and not tell him. He'll die, and he'll hide it, and he'll go through the growing pains of his newfangled body/powers alone. And when MBJ finds out SQH will fall apart in such a way that makes it clear that 1) he was never going to tell MBJ and 2) they have very different ideas on what's going on here with their relationship. For years, MBJ will ask about SQH's death instead of his powers– who did it? Was it fast? Did it hurt?– (because he cares), and SQH won't understand why: it doesn't matter if it hurt.

Honestly: MBJ won't be thinking about the SQH's new powers or the closing of their power inbalance at first. He's too busy grieving both SQH and what he thought he had with him. I mean, SQH looks exactly as he did while living and he's not yielding an inch of the power front– everything ghostly is locked down tight. MBJ doesn't give a shit how much more powerful SQH is. Once he's done losing his mind over SQH dying, he'll have another nervous breakdown on whether SQH will fade. It'll take a while before SQH lets down any walls. Ghosts come in a wide variety of forms and power-levels and for all MBJ knows, SQH might actually be weaker in death.

And the demon realm probably wouldn't claim SQH as one of theirs. Demons are definitely alive, and ghost or not, SQH was still originally a human and a cultivator. They might claim him as "one of us" in regards of getting fucked over by humans, but that's really it. Oh man though. There's definitely some smart people on MBJ's staff pre-reveal who are like 'SQH can do MATH!!! He's a logistical mastermind, the humanity isn't important! We have to find a way for us to keep him!!' and some other demons that want to poach him for their own kingdoms/households for sure, which massively weirds SQH out.

SKSALJEIWJEOKWSLKAoklKAOQOQK YQY HAD A STAREDOWN WITH THE PAPERWORK AND LOST!!!! I imagine because this au is very much a "let's make SQH give a shit about people and change things" au that YQY and SQH actually... are on goods terms by now??? So besides YQY losing the logistics man for his entire sect he'll also lose a friend(???). Complicated times for YQY incoming! Trust me, the Qing Generation will also have their own guilt/hurt feelings over this. qhqikjauqwhu2qjkqaasjkjkAMK yeah SQH has the loyalty of his entire peak too. If he's exiled or vanquished An Ding might riot.

no no!! your random thoughts are so good!!

I'm tired, so I'll stop here, but if you want I could talk about some of SQH's stories and also LBH's Very Weird Family and Upbringing (I haven't decided if he still goes to Qing Jing since the system isn't there to enforce it. Any other fun ideas?)

thinking about Shang Qinghua as a calamity again…

Don’t You Know (That I’m Yours) - Read and React

(I’ve wanted to do this for a while! I have no idea how to do this properly, but - here we go!)

Don’t You Know That I’m Yours By chaoticgoodlawyer @chaoticgoodlawyerwrites Read and React - Chapter 1

Here >> Chapter 2

His young husband had only managed to cure him of a hereto known uncurable poison that the foremost medial expert in their world had been puzzling over for more than a year in less than a day due to a heritage that absolutely no one else can learn about. No biggie.

Oh god, this was going to be awful.

 XD  XD  XD  This is going to be awesome  😁  😁  😁

Shen Qingqiu was doing his best to Not Think about the fact that his disciple almost definitely thought he was in love with him and Luo Binghe had stated outright that Shen Qingqiu’s older self had thankfully put him off propositioning him until he was older.

asdfasdf Definitely Not Thinking about it!!! About how his cute little disciple!!! Would have propose- cough, propositioned him! Except his older self had already realized that and stopped him! How much longer can he pretend his disciple never said anything?!?

...Way less long than he would have preferred XD

-

Shen Qingqiu flushed, “That’s definitely not appropriate dinner conversation!”

 What did he say??? Or rather - what didn’t he say, my goodness! ...Oh, but to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation XD

-

I just said that we were fated to be together and that’s why it worked…

 I mean – he’s not wrong XD

-

His last thought before sleep was something about being in trouble, but he slipped into darkness before it could fully register.

*chuckles* I’m in danger!!!

Yes. Yes you are. You have no idea how much trouble you’re in, Shen Qingqiu XD

---

SQQ: Is it too late to fake my death to avoid this meeting?

 Don’t!!! *Hides Moon and Sun Dew seeds from SQQ*

-

SQQ: and YQY doesn’t exist SQH: …bro he’s leading this meeting how’s that going to work? SQQ: don’t care. the man can choke

asdhfasdj I love sassy, snarky SQQ

…actually, as his sass spills out, I feel like he resembles SJ far more than he has before??? Only when he stops hiding himself so much, does he better resemble the actual SJ – that’s some irony for you!

-

[+10 B-points for pettiness!]

 …he could earn so many B Points from sheer pettiness

-

SQQ: Fine. We’re friends. SQH: Yessss

 Yes!!!!!!

-

SQQ: I’m going to try and act like Shen Jiu SQH: Oh shit! SQQ: Hold my flower. SQH: I got your flower, boo! Fuck ‘em up!

Perhaps they were, in fact, friends.

 :D I just. Loved this. So much!!!! <333333

-

[Host is not currently earning friendship points with the Protagonist because his relationship with the Protagonist is not platonic.]

What the fuck.

Yes it is?

[...]

 ……… It’s romantic and it’s cute as hell But it’s definitely not platonic And I love it. Give me all the cute, soft fluff!!! There little talks! The easy, casual intimacy!!! I just - asdhgfa;sldfjlsajdkf

-

Liu Qingge sighed. “I understand why you won’t say anything, but that’s because you explained it to me. They don’t know the stakes, what you’ve already done.

 This man - <3 I don’t ship them romantically, but I do love their interactions

-

He had just picked up his teacup, waiting for Yue Qingyuan to respond, when Peak Lord Wei said, in flippant fashion, “So you’re fucking him, too?”

Oh shit

-

The teacup shattered in one hand while his fan broke into splinters in another. With bloody fingers [...] Shen Qingqiu looked right at the man and hissed, “Excuse me?”

Seriously, excuse you?????????? WTF, man???? Also, ow

-

The other Peak Lord, uncaring of the dropped jaws around the room, huffed and said, “Oh, come on. Were we really not going to talk about the fact that you’ve been living with a disciple who apparently grew up to be your husband? For over a year? And now Bai Zhan is jumping to your defense? Your disciple moved out so you’ve moved on to an actual adult–“

 Oh no you didn’t–

-

Liu Qingge was across the room and had Cheng Luan at Peak Lord Wei’s throat.

 Thank you, Liu Qingge  *glares daggers at Peak Lord Wei*

-

“Very well, Shen-shixiong.” Mu Qingfang cleared his throat loudly and looked around the room. “Peak Lord Wei is gravely mistaken about Peak Lord Shen’s character. I say this not as Shen Qingqiu’s colleague but has his doctor.

 Go, Mu Qingfang!!!!

-

“First, there is a not insignificant possibility that, prior to Luo Binghe’s time traveling incident six days ago, Shen Qingqiu was a virgin.”

pfffffffff--- Is SQQ’s face going to be able to survive this???

-

Mu Qingfang said before continuing. “As Wei-shidi said, Shen Qingqiu prior to his qi deviation 19 months ago was known to visit brothels throughout the city. This shidi investigated his previous habits–“ Shen Qingqiu turned and stared at him because what– “and found that all those who remembered him only spoke of his kindness and his refusal to accept carnal services. It seems that Shen-shixiong went there for information gathering and, at times, to sleep, treating all those working there with the utmost respect.”

Good!!! Let Shen Jiu not be falsely accused!!!

-

Shen Qingqiu was not going to give that man credit considering he had damn near yelled the sentiment in his face only a few days ago in order to get it through his fool head.

 :/ Not impressed, YQY. But at least, thank you for doing the bare minimum.

-

Shen Qingqiu was back to staring at the far wall, hands still bloody and unable to hold a fan. Face bare, he felt heat begin to fill his cheeks and climb up his neck. 

assadf;lksj 😂 😂 😂

-

SQH: HOLY SHIT SQH: BRO?? WTF SQQ: kill me

 asdfasjdfhsljfhkhjhlkjhklh XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

-

SQQ: I hate this SQQ: Binghe was smart to think of something to tell MQF that he couldn’t question but ugh SQH: …I think he had other reasons but sure SQH: also did you tell MQF and did MQF just tell everyone that you’re in love with LBH? SQQ: …maybe SQQ: some could read it that way

 SHF:LDGHS:LJSGDHJAHF:LKJADFL:KDAJS MAYBE SOME COULD SEE IT THAT WAY DSKDJ:LSDFJ:LKJ  Shen Qingqiu!!!!!

-

“Are all the splinters gone?” Shen Qingqiu asked Mu Qingfang. The man nodded and Shen Qingqiu called on his not inconsiderable reserves of spiritual energy to close the numerous wounds in his hands. “Thank you, Mu-shidi, for your attention and words. Thanking Liu Qingge and Sect Leader Yue for their input as well. If Wei-shidi has something further to say to me about my friendship with Liu Qingge, he is welcome to take it up with either of us at another time. This one humbly requests we go back to the meeting.”

...damn

-

Oh, God. They hadn’t even started the announcements yet.

They haven’t even started the announcements yet 😂

and – the author notes – I love them so much

LBH: *Cooks dinner, holds his hand, does his hair, hugs him goodbye* SQQ: This is normal behavior! Binghe’s just being nice to me. SQH: Bruh. LBH: *tells MQF they’re romantic soulmates* SQQ: Clever boy! Binghe’s so smart to throw him off his tracks. SQH: BRUH.

Chapter 2 >>

[tossawary]

Because my brain does NOT stop even when I’m grounded, today my brain told me, “Hey, I figured out how to make a Hobbit Fusion AU work.” And I was like, “Great! We’re working, though.” And my brain was like, “I’ve figured out how to make it a Pre-Canon Canon Divergence AU for Moshang.”

And I was like, “...I’m listening.”

The Hobbit is another one of my Comfort Media and it got brought up when I was asking about that, but I was feeling kind of “eh” about mixing Tolkien mythology with SVSSS. I mean, the mental picture of Dwarf Mobei-Jun is extremely funny and Shang Qinghua would make a great hobbit! But that interpretation felt a little too direct for my AU tastes.

So, hm, now I have another potential Big Bang contender. My love for The Hobbit is very, VERY strong and looking at my current outline, I have to be like, “Yeah, this could be 50,000 words, no problem.”

It’s a very good outline!

-

After saving Mobei-Jun, Shang Qinghua bailed A.S.A.P. because he honestly thought Mobei-Jun was going to kill him. He psyched himself out of sticking around before Mobei-Jun woke up. Mobei-Jun didn’t get enough information to track Shang Qinghua down.

Shang Qinghua (who isn’t SQH because he isn’t the Peak Lord) decides that he can’t fucking take it anymore and bails from Cang Qiong Mountain Sect too. The System objects, but also falls into line when Airplane shrieks at it. Airplane is going to go become a humble merchant and inventor and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop him!

It turns out that Shang Qinghua’s presence or help was actually crucial to stop some Emperor of the Abyss from taking over the Ice Palace and the Northern Desert. Airplane is like, “Oh, yeah, I remember… offhandedly writing something about that happening in the past off-screen?” It was one of those things that he just threw in there because it sounded really cool, and it gave Mobei-Jun another reason to “owe” Shang Qinghua and not kill him immediately, but he never got to elaborate on it because he was too busy writing stallion novel bullshit.

So, borrowing the lore from my “Horns” one-shot, an extremely powerful Emperor of the Abyss escaped the Eternal Abyss. This is some devouring horror being from the depths of the abyss, which ate everything in its vicinity in the abyss itself and crawled into the Demon Realm to eat more things. The Emperor of the Abyss was attracted to Mobei-Jun’s father. They fought. Mobei-Jun’s father should have won, but didn’t, because he was too fucked up (thanks to his own hedonism or something) to fight properly. What an asshole.

Mobei-Jun’s father was killed and devoured by the Emperor of the Abyss, which has made it… exponentially powerful. It’s now… basically a calamity. The desolation that it leaves in its wake across the Northern Desert is unspeakable. Mobei-Jun and his family, their allied clans, and pretty much all demons in the Northern Desert have had to flee.

Mobei-Jun is currently essentially a “guest” of the Sha Clan. He’s homeless. He’s lost the power of his ancestors. He’s a “king” without a kingdom. It’s humiliating. He needs to kill the abyssal creature to retrieve: his title, his ancestors’ power, and his kingdom.

While working for other demon clans to support his family and people, Mobei-Jun crosses paths with Airplane. Airplane has become a relatively successful merchant and inventor, and he calls himself Shang Houhua. He lives a very comfortable life and does his best to ignore anything resembling the plot. He’s pretty successful at ignoring the plot.

Mobei-Jun is never in a good mood these days, but he’s especially pissed off to see that human who abandoned him all those years ago. Airplane tries to argue that Mobei-Jun told him to fuck off, but Mobei-Jun is too angry. Airplane makes lots of offers in an effort to get Mobei-Jun to spare his life, one of which ends up being a claim that he can help Mobei-Jun kill the Emperor of the Abyss and make him a king again. Mobei-Jun pauses, now even more pissed off than before, and Airplane just starts babbling desperately to save his own skin.

Mobei-Jun was already forming a company to take on a Quest for the Northern Desert - in the hopes of slaying the Emperor of the Abyss and retaking his homeland. Part of the issue has been that forming the company is difficult. Mobei-Jun wants people who are loyal to HIM and ONLY to him. He won’t owe anyone else anything or promise them pieces of his homeland.

(Airplane is like, “Bro, I don’t know if you can afford to be so picky, but okay.”)

So Mobei-Jun is like… “I still want to kill you, but fine, you can come on our quest and help us.”

So Airplane ends up on the Quest for the Northern Desert, led by his very angry future murderer the “king without a kingdom” Mobei-Jun, to fight the calamitous Emperor of the Abyss who killed Mobei-Jun’s father. Fuck.

Some details beyond this opening premise:

Airplane and Mobei-Jun fall in love over the course of the quest, obviously. They have their own hijinks like each chapter of The Hobbit (equivalents to the trolls, to Rivendell, to Goblintown, to Beorn, to Mirkwood, and to Laketown, etc.). 

Oh, damn, I just realized that making a pre-fall Tianlang-Jun and Zhuzhi-Lang the Beorn equivalents would be so fucking funny.

The Emperor of the Abyss is a horrifying Smaug equivalent. It can totally talk because Airplane having a conversation with a draconian horror sounds incredible. I would love to have Airplane outwit the Emperor of the Abyss in some fashion.

Mobei-Jun and Airplane somehow manage to successfully kill the Emperor of the Abyss together. Like, together. Probably using some plot device whipped up or some clever plan devised by Airplane on his feet. Mobei-Jun trusts Airplane at a crucial moment and it all works out. Airplane actually gets Mobei-Jun his kingdom back.

I’m tempted to just skip over the Ring and not having a Ring equivalent. BUT if I made this into a longfic instead of a one-shot, I would have a Ring equivalent (if it was a one-shot, I would ditch the Ring equivalent). I think I would make Xin Mo the One Ring equivalent. During the Goblintown equivalent event, Airplane falls either into the Eternal Abyss or into Bing-Ge’s dimension, where he proceeds to successfully take up Xin Mo because he knows the trick and portal himself out of the Eternal Abyss, or he proceeds to outwit Bing-Ge in some fashion and uses the Xin Mo sword to portal himself back to the right dimension.

So then Airplane is stuck with this super powerful sword that he doesn’t want to use again because he KNOWS that it will fuck him up. He KNOWS that it will FUCK HIM UP. So Airplane has to go through the rest of the quest ignoring the temptation of the Xin Mo sword that he is absolutely not supposed to have and can’t possibly let anyone else have.

(Oh, man, imagining the influence of Xin Mo giving Airplane extra horny thoughts about Mobei-Jun on the rest of the quest is very funny. Like, Airplane was already hot for Mobei-Jun, but now it’s worse and he might never have a normal thought ever again.)

Bagginshield Movie Hug when Airplane turns up again, for sure. Mobei-Jun thought he was dead. Mobei-Jun smiles and everything, until he remembers to frown again.

I’m feeling like I don’t want Airplane to use Xin Mo to help defeat the Emperor of the Abyss, but it makes sense if he does. Him not using it doesn’t make much sense. I do like the idea of Airplane dealing the killing blow and Mobei-Jun’s pride being hurt by Airplane being the one to kill it. I also like the idea of Mobei-Jun being a little smitten by Airplane just… loyally handing him his kingdom and restoring the power of his ancestors. I also really like the idea of Airplane just… not having some super powerful plot device up his sleeve on the quest.

Like, instead of Airplane’s Author God knowledge totally setting him up to deal with this thing no problem, Airplane had NO FUCKING PLAN when he set out with Mobei-Jun. He was talking completely out of his ass when he said he knew how to help Mobei-Jun. That this all worked out at all is almost completely due to luck and improvisation.

That feels MUCH more true to both Shang Qinghua and to Bilbo Baggins. Lucky lads of fast-talking, complaining, lying, not knowing what the fuck is really going on, thirsting after kings with tragic backstories, and somehow not dying despite winging it all the time.

Instead of goldsickness, Mobei-Jun is forced to deal with some side-effects of consuming the Emperor of the Abyss to regain the power of his ancestors. (Demon cannibalism rituals. Yeah.) He starts acting really scary and out-of-character and forceful, until Airplane loses his nerve and runs away. Maybe under the influence of the late Emperor of the Abyss, Mobei-Jun actually tries to kill him? I could see Mobei-Jun trying to kill Airplane for the Xin Mo sword which dealt the finishing blow on the Emperor of the Abyss.

(I need a better name for this thing. If I can’t come up with something that actually sounds good, I might just call it “The Calamity”, but that’s giving me BOTW vibes so I don’t like it. Maybe I’d call it “The Desolation” or something? Ehhhh, I don’t really like that either.)

I want to have a Battle of the Five Armies equivalent, if only so Tianlang-Jun and Zhuzhi-Lang can swoop in as benevolent helpers as the Beorn equivalents. Currently, I’m seeing three options. 1) The orc army equivalent are neighboring demon lords who want to strike while the new Mobei-Jun is getting established. 2) The orc army equivalent is Linguang-Jun trying to kill his nephew and take power at the last minute. 3) The orc army equivalent is Bing-Ge here with an army and he’s pissed off and wants his sword back.

On one hand, 1 and 2 would be SO MUCH EASIER to pull off. I could be really lazy about the whole thing. On the other hand, 3 would be much fresher (more surprising and links back to the Xin Mo element), more challenging and the idea of pre-fall Tianlang-Jun facing off with Bing-Ge delights me. Kick his ass, Tianlang-Jun!

(Su Xiyan gets involved? My brain says YES. Kick his ass, Su Xiyan!)

Also, I was sad about there being no Fili and Kili equivalents, because Mobei-Jun has no friends, and I’ll have to make up a company pretty much from scratch. (Sha Hualing is too young and Luo Binghe hasn’t been born yet.) BUT then I was like, “Where’s Linguang-Jun in all this?” And I would absolutely have Linguang-Jun be a part of Mobei-Jun’s Company. Instead of nephews, Mobei-Jun has a sketchy uncle who might be trying to kill him. Keeping Linguang-Jun out of it might be easier, but actually doing some character-building with him sounds fun and challenging, and I’d rather limit the number of OCs if possible.

Mobei-Jun manages to shake off the goldsickness equivalent somehow, probably through “the power of love” (and/or straight-up “dual cultivation” with Airplane?). Moshang makes up while Mobei-Jun is apparently mortally wounded from fighting Bing-Ge and Airplane thinks this is all his fault. But Mobei-Jun doesn’t die! It’s all good!  

It’d be pretty funny if there was a “Returning to the Shire” equivalent where Airplane leaves because he thinks Mobei-Jun hates him now and never wants to see him again. So then Mobei-Jun has to track his man down like, “Get back here and marry me. (Also I am so sorry for trying to kill you. Please forgive me. I hate myself so much for that.)”

And they all live happily ever after!

Holy shit, this wasn’t in Proud Immortal Demon Way.

[writing-frenzy]

Plz let Airplane be EVEN MORE Awesome - Fic Rec Part Duo

*Stares at all the notes my last post got* Nice to know we are all just as Thirsty for the good boi as Mobei-Jun is.

So Thus, I have decided to make another! (Smashes the post button) Since there was a lot, I just decided to make another post.

here we go kids, more of that good Airplane love... alongside that good quality Moshang because I am biased~ 

(Plz share if you find more!)

a cup of vinegar, a spoon of sugar by Shamelesscooper - “Your timing certainly is impeccable, my lord,” Wei Wuxian groans, rubbing his back. “What brings you here for the second time in as many nights…?” “I left my cloak,” Mobei-Jun says, shooting Wei-Wuxian a dirty look as the bird demon shrugs his robe back on.“You certainly did!” Shang Qinghua exclaims, crossing his arms quite crossly. “You can’t just leave your things everywhere, my king!” Mobei-Jun’s hard stare refocuses on Shang Qinghua, and he can’t help but shrink back, hurriedly rummaging around in his qiankun pouch for the offending garment. As soon as Shang Qinghua finds it, Mobei-Jun takes it from his hands and throws it over his shoulders, breathing in a deep sigh as if it relieved him to have it there again. If you miss it so much, why did you even leave it behind?! Shang Qinghua almost wants to say, but he is quite fond of his head, actually, and would rather Mobei-Jun not take it off his shoulders, thankyouverymuch. 

--Shang Qinghua is tasked with escorting the leader of the Yiling Carrion Tribe to Gusu, and it'd be fine if only Mobei-Jun would stop poking his (gorgeous, beautiful, drop-dead handsome) head in!

*Evil grin* here we have a delicious rare side of Jealous Mobei, Shang Qinghua doing something that most MDZS fans dream of doing once, and a side of shamelessness from our favorite ‘Lovebirds’ XD Not to mention how steamy it gets~

-

You Will Never Step Lightly In The Dark by Janusoverlord - Shang Qinghua wakes up in the aftermath of Tianlang-Jun's rampage on Cang Qiong Mountain and has to navigate the delicate political situation he now finds himself in. Luo Binghe is building a harem with Shen Qingqiu as his first, and honestly most terrifying, husband. Yet, Luo Binghe seems to be turning his eyes to Shang Qinghua as a possibility as well. Excuse you? What is this? He didn't sign up for this!

Okay, make sure you read the tags kiddies because uhhh, this has some themes to it. It is also part of a series as well, but I read it stand alone and it does good with how it explains things; as it is...

Let me just say, Luo Binghe does not know what he just got into; all mortals will bow to the might of our lord Airplane! I really did like this and I am tentatively on the fence about reading the rest of the series, because the writing is so damn good but we will see how my ship cravings twist.

-

With Ink and Sword by xnemone - Shang Qinghua is appropriately nervous when he passes the Imperial Exams only to be assigned not to the Emperor’s palace, but to the barren lands ruled by a lord known to be as ruthless as he is cold. Although his friend and confidant Shen Qingqiu gives him a sympathetic smile and a mountain of furs before he sets off, Shang Qinghua feels less than reassured.He expects ridicule, a harsh regime, even rejection. What he does not expect is for Mobei-Jun to take one look at him among all the scholars and servants of his palace, and proclaim him his.

Now, this is such a good story, I love it, is makes me feel happy and squishy inside with the good Moshang, and you know what? It has my new favorite thing in the world!

Shang Qinghua calls Cucumber bro out! AND IT IS GLORIOUS!!! (Seriously, why does this not happen more often?)

-

Good Vibrations by Feynite -  In Shang Qinghua’s defense, this whole trope was originally something he’d only ever written in for Sha Hualing, for precisely one scene.

In which I actually feel ashamed for forgetting such a treasure. Like, Feynite is a wonderful wordsmith, invoking so many thoughts and good shit with their words and characters, and by god do I end up just loving them even more then before.

This story passes the Vibe Check! (Luo Binghe also gets a Vibe Check~)

-

From Your Perspective by cozycitywitch - It was nothing more than a curse, probably, and surly the witch doctor could fix it? So what else was Shang Qinghua to do inside Mobei Jun's body until the end of the night? He couldn't be blamed for his curiosity! He was only a man! Or the one where Moshang switch bodies and Shang Qinghua can't help himself.

Now, this is a lovely, spicy lime where while there is no big action or technical awesomeness going on, it does have some wonderful images; Shang Qinghua’s hamster body with the aura of a king, him showing off being intimating which means Shang Qinghua can indeed be scary, it is something that could happen if he has the motivation for it.

Not to mention this is just a hot story all around~ (My kingdom’s for My King’s POV on this~)

-

ham hunt by jets_adjacent - There's a wolf at Shang Qinghua's heels and his only thought is: Northern mating rituals are a pain in the ass.

This is a really, really good A/B/O fic; it also shows just how tricky and sneaky our Shang Qinghua can be, as well as a mischievous side I just love seeing in our favorite Peak Lord. And let’s not forget the spicy goodness of this fic, which is really tasty~ (And can I get a shout out for consent and negotiated kinks!)

-

In which healthy relationship skills are forcibly brought into Proud Immortal Demon Way by two bros by Rafaela271412421 -  Look, if no one is going to give these people friends and healthy relationships then by GOD, I WILL do it myself! It's about two bros bringing healthy relationships into PIDW both intentionally and not. Gods and deities, accidental and not, will also be included. Also, it's in bullet point format, so you’ve been warned.

ahahahahaahhahahahaahaha! I love this fucking outline/bullet points presentation, it is something I always end up going back to and giggling like an idiot. The is really a healing piece, my crops have been watered, my face is clear, and Airplane and Cucumber Bros go completely feral~ I love it, I want to propose marriage~

-

trinkets for a king by jets_adjacent - Shang Qinghua gives many extraordinary gifts to his King. His King finally catches on. --aka: Mobei Jun has never been courted by a human before.

So, this is a wonderful subversion of the ‘Mobei-Jun courts/plans his wedding to Shang Qinghua all the while said man is unaware’. like, it is so cute and I love jelly Airplane; it gives me life. Also, one of the few we see Airplane taking full advantage of all his author knowledge and using it for the devious plans~

-

The Southern King and The North Star by Luuplup - A series of meetings between the Southern King and a cultivator. The happy moments, the romantic moments, the sad moments.  

Another really cute Role Reversal I find I greatly enjoy, with a very competent, beloved Lord Demon!Airplane :D it makes me happy when I read it, I end up wanting to hug something~ It seems like it will be a slow burn, what with our favorite moronsexuals, but oh is it delicious seeing the buildup~ 

-

under a wicked star by tagteamme - Caught unaware, Mobei Jun is kidnapped for leverage. On the eighth day, Mobei Jun is broken out of his trance by the sound of something being tossed into his pit. It’s a lot lighter than what they throw food down in. He realizes that today, he is not tied down.When he moves off the bed, he does not need the canopy post to support his weight as he stands up. The object on the floor glints in the firelight, and Mobei Jun crouches to pick it up. His face is immoving; slowly, he turns the An Ding peak lord crown in his hand, looking at the blood-soaked metal through the light.

SQH to the rescue! Alongside some good old fashioned angsty Moshang miscommunication but with Mobei-Jun’s POV this time, and some absolutely good steamy good times for all XD 

-

we seal our fate by ketolic (corrose) - All things considered, it really was sort of obvious. Hey! Anyone can be a genius in retrospect. Hindsight is 20/20! Besides, who can blame him! He'd never written about this facet of Mobei Jun's life before! Still...considering all the times he'd gotten his hands on Mobei Jun's sealskin, he's sort of shocked that it took him so long to figure it out.

:D This story makes me giggle uncontrollably, and still finds ways to unexpectedly stab me in the heart. I love it! Not to mention we get to see SQH be awesome! Sure, he flails around as he does it, but busts out the fighting moves and even fits a rescue in there! So good, so in character, I love every watery moment of this fic... good thing I’m so thirsty- (Is shot)

-----

But yeah! These are some more good stories I found, some a bit more- urrrr- thirstier then others~ you can find the first thing of Fic Recs Here! And Plz, share more awesome Airplane whenever you have a chance~

[touchmycoat]

e!you anon i rewatched the last ep to accurately tell you ^^; i hadn't watched it in over a year !! ok so they both forget at different times and remember, haru disappears before the final scene, kyung loses 2 haru lovewise, yeojoo ends up with namjoo, the story ends and we skip to a uni au. haru and dan oh keep on missing each other but eventually reunite oct 10 under the tree. it is a HE !! god ok liujiu is--well ok bingliushen isn't happening and yqy isn't ever going to communicate directly

p2 e!you anon so i was thinking of sj Despising that he's so toffee sweet w maiden lbh on stage while he vividly remembers past lives a la trumpet creeper with yqy and yqy being a character that doesn't remember, he stumbles across lqg and is like, piss off numbskull and lqg is ?? wtf and sj's like whatever you won't remember anyways--basically i want them to be wretched to each other but also have no one else to confide into. basically 'one good honest kiss' but electric boogaloo ykwim

YES the webtoon is nuts and ripped me a new hide with the angst. i can't remember if the webtoon has a HE or not because i think i blacked out for the rest of the story. i also want to point you towards 'the romance of the tiger and rose' which has a similar-ish premise. pls disregard the wet wig scene i blocked it from memory. han shuo is an absolute delight as a male lead.

p4 e!you i just think liujiu would be awful for them and that's exactly why i'm pinpoint keen on them !! lqg would be like ur faces are similar --> projection of feelings and sj would be like :/// i could do worse than u and yqy would avoid the a3 room !! omg im thinking of the lunch scene with haru and dan oh wait what if yqy finds an au version of haru. and sj sees him pityadopt another guy and is like so im Replaceable + ups his cattiness to yqy god they're so bad at communicating i love it
