prompt 4 for moshang with the mood "incensed" would be hilarous i imagine

Mythology - Foretold by the gods - moshang

So he might have, maybe, at some point -- some late at night or maybe very early point -- tried to figure out an OC for Mobei-jun to ship w fuck. Dude was so perfect, it was a shame his dump truck ass and sequoia thighs remained unembraced. (Also the whole "he's so mysterious and never opens up and unveils his deep thoughts and tender feelings except for me" fantasy but never mind all that.)

He'd gone exactly as far as 'Meeting: why tf would he notice anyone. Dashing rescue? Why does he need a rescue he's too cool and basically untrappable anyway, what are they rescuing him from socializing with his cousins lmao???' on his notes before giving up on making it realistic. The next scribble was 'cuz i said so ok next'.

There had been no 'next'. His battery had died and when he managed to get home and get his laptop plugged in it was time for another word vomit on the topic of Bing-ge's meat truncheon.

[Secret side-quest: Easter egg! 1/536 discovered. Keep going!][Category: "is it a headcanon if you didn't think it up with your upper head?" 1/413]

'System-bro, what the entire fuck!?!' Airplane screeched inside his heart of hearts; ass on the floor (bruising), clothes askew (from sleeping in them!!), and the most gorgeous, terrifying man he'd ever seen staring down at him from the bed they'd crashed into (Mobei-jun first, because unconscious, Airplane later, because idiot) the previous night.

Because he had expected being sneered at; being talked down to; being attacked on sight. Being haughtily ignored, after sufficient groveling at crotch level.

But his most perfect, most unattainable creation, that Himalayan peak made flesh, saying that --

The problem with Airplane was, he didn't trust people. He didn't trust them to share their feelings and decisions with him freely instead of leaving him reeling at yet another swerve of which he was merely collateral damage. He didn't trust them not to lie to themselves, or even know they were lying to themselves, so even if they did tell him what they thought or felt he assumed they were doing the polite 'the real reason is none of your business but telling you to fuck off is rude' thing at best.

So yes, his favorite game from childhood had been to pick someone in the crowd and tell himself stories about their life. This guy is a grandfather of seven and doesn't know the birthday of a single grandkid and his eldest son just pointed it out to him, but not even angrily which is worse because that's how low the bar he failed to clear was, that's why the fancy package and the gloomy expression. That girl just broke up -- she's so angry though -- he was fucking her sister. No wait, her nails are short, it was a girlfriend for sure; she fucked her brother, a double betrayal. It had evolved into telling himself stories about his classmates and his half-siblings and his parents, since they were never ever gonna bother to invite him to take a real glimpse inside, anyway.

He was fully aware that statistically speaking he was probably wrong a lot of the time, but 1. coming up with coherent narratives was satisfying enough to smother the jealousy and loneliness and 2. as far as he was concerned it was true until proved otherwise, which was never.

But a guy who gave him nothing to work with. That was a challenge. That was fascinating.

....

But a guy who greeted him by "You are to be my husband?" with a tone of dismay?!

What the fuck! What the fuck!! What the flying dick-flapping fuck!!!

He was so shocked, he forgot to kowtow.

"You uh. My king?" He hadn't made the guy so above it all that he landed straight back into a a naive ingenue, right? "Just sleeping on the same mattress doesn't -- people don't have to be married to share--"

The muggy air of the inn room went so cold so fast that condensation rolled cold drops down his back.

(The effect didn't last; there was a haze in the air, briefly, and then a suffocating breeze from outside ruined the surprise air-con.)

"You will not speak to me like an idiot child," Mobei-jun-to-be rumbled threateningly, and then ruined the cool by continuing in that wtf vein. "My husband will show respect to his wife or his wife shall reign as a widow."

Holy shit, now Mobei-jun was the wife???!?!??? What? What! Airplane was dead. Again. For good.

He stayed down there sitting on his ass, waiting for the world to make sense. It didn't happen. The man of his masochistic dreams had crossed his arms over his massive bara titties like a barricade and was now sulking up there like an offended wi-- no, he couldn't even think it.

"My -- my king? It's only, ah, your humble servant doesn't... recall... getting married...?"

Eyes as blue as the afterimage of a lightning strike speared him through, metaphorically.

"Not yet. But we must."

He let out a long sigh; and his face didn't twitch when he moved to aggravate his wound, but the way he stilled for a breath was telling. Shang not-yet-Qinghua winced in reflexive sympathy.

"There is a prophecy."

"... Ah?" A prophecy. About his king. That he hadn't put into the story. That he hadn't even scribbled into the margins or thought about. 'System?!'

[Yes, valued User?]

"There is a prophecy for each generation, and most of them don't matter," the ice demon using that shitty inn bed as his throne said with a bitter tone. "But the eleventh ruler of the Northern Desert will be heralded by his foretold spouse; that is how he is confirmed."

"Ohh," Airplane said intelligently and with characteristic eloquence.

"'You will know them by these things," his king quoted sourly, "first, they will heal you; second, share your bed; third, offer their hand, and service, and their soul."

'Their soul! Their soul!! I was offering my sneakiness and maybe my dick, ah?! System!!! Who told you to mess up my creation with made-up prophecies?!'

[The easter egg category: "is it a headcanon if you didn't think it up with your upper head?" belongs to the third rung of canon : Word of God.]

But he hadn't told anyone--

But he'd written it down, he remembered now. 'Cuz i said so.'

Oh god. Oh immortals ascended before him. Oh little ancestors in both and either worlds. Someone fix this for him. "My king. Haha. My king, that is -- so vague! So vague?! How can there not be a dozen candidates with criteria so -- so stupid? And if the prophecy is common knowledge then people knew them in advance?! How were you not sabotaged right and left--"

...Oh no. He was gorgeous when he smirked like this, slow and feline, satisfied. My king, so unfair.

"This prince has long since made it a point not to sleep where others may catch him." A delicate pause. "He has also made it a point to return misplaced agents to his most obstinate siblings's chambers at a time his elders may not miss them."

"--Oh. Disqualifying them for trying to disqualify you -- so smart, my king!" For a moment, he had gotten enthused. But then he remembered that they were discussing his sudden non-canon matrimony, and then he started poking it for plot holes. "But -- just anybody can share your bed."

"The language is old, and clear. The prophecy speaks of the only person to ever share this king's bed."

... Hhghhhk.

That stare. So hard. Offended. Those cheekbones. So cutting. That nose, regal; that hair.

"My king," Airplane said as he climbed up to his feet, eyes trained on the floor and his knees and the things spread on the table and anything else at all. "Have you ever thought that the 'sharing a bed' section was metaphorical?"

He met the demon's eyes then, incredulous and angry, buoyant with it. "You haven't even shown me your dick and you think I should be making recompense?! What the fuck! Passing out on the same shitty mattress doesn't mean getting deflowered! I didn't knock you up with a snowball ass egg, why the fuck should I--"

Oh, he was tall. Also wide. Especially wide. Flatten me daddy indeed.

Oh, he was angry.

"It is not. Metaphorical. Though if all you need is to see my body--"

His hand landed on his belt. Shang eventually-Qinghua stopped breathing, body hot and bubbling with too much emotion--

It read like one of his waifu plots, the Joan of Arc types, unconquerable holy virgins except via the pressure of greater good.

A vague scrying over some random-ass kingdom, a little prophecy and welp! Nothing to it, just gotta fuck it out for the marital bed and then never again. At least you getting lawfully reamed has saved Bumfucknowhereistan.

'System. Demerit if I say hell no?'

[The bonus Mobei-jun questline remains optional, and brings User no penalties on opt-out.]

'Great.'

Like hell he was jumping into marriage because he liked some guy's face and didn't want to be bothered by geriatric busybodies tittering over his lack of wedlock. Who was he, his mother?

"I'll pass. Sorry, my king, at least I'm ditching you long before the altar?"

And with a sweep of his hand, he dumped all his things off the table and into his qiankun pouch, and was jumping out the window and doing a sick flip trick on his trusty borrowed blade. Airplane over and out, bro!

Thanks for nothing. Now his spank bank was forever tainted.

Three days later he was still dealing with bursts of anger and anguish and other moronic emotions, which didn't help navigating his miraculous return to the sect ("I was so scared!" lost its impact if he broke a sneery judgmental Shixiong's ankle with a well-placed kick) or the medical peak's nosiness ("Who cares about the bruises, my biggest injury is my blue balls and broken heart, thanks!") or Shen not-quite-Quingqiu's scalpel eyes.

His king's eyes were prettier.

His king was never going to be his king. Optional quest line. Yeah. He vaguely wondered how the System planned to make him betray the sect, then, who for, and then decided it wasn't his problem. Fuck it. He was sure it could do blackout poetry with his notes and pull out some contrived justification that would amount for half as much incentive as Mobei-jun's everything.

His fierce determination, his fearlessness, his skill, his -- his body.

His body that was extremely too visible on Shang in-his-soul-Qinghua's disciple bed, shoulders draped in furs and bountiful meaty muscle on full frontal display.

"I will not," he growled low and quiet, "be discarded by my spouse."

"Hhg."

He had snow leopard rosettes on his flanks in dusky blue, secret patterns never appeared in any cover art Airplane had commissioned.

[Secret side-quest: Easter egg! 2/536 discovered. Keep going!]

... Oh god, it turned out Shang Qinghua was exactly as stupid as Bing-ge's most ice-cold chaste wives. Because 'lie back and think of England?' Yeah, he was going to think of England and that dick.

The strangest "Fusion AU" (alternate universe based on another book/movie/etc.) I have in my notes for SVSSS and Moshang is probably a Transformers AU. I just cannot resist space opera sci-fi worldbuilding and finding parallel themes in constructed worlds. (I swear it would be cool! Trust me, bro! It would be SO COOL, bro!)

It's on my to-do list for next year as a self-indulgent one shot. I am aware that the intersection of SVSSS fans and Transformers fans is... possibly not a large group of people, though I KNOW that some of you fellow nerds are out there, so I intend to write it in such a way that knowledge of either SVSSS or Transformers is not necessarily required to understand the story even if knowledge of both would enhance it.

Anyway, I keep cracking up at the mental image of authors using AUs as the cheese of getting a dog to eat a medical pill. The pill in this case is one or more the author's other interests, including things like Egyptian archaeology or facts about fish or the Silmarillion (I have seen all of these things), though there are definitely people who would happily gobble down the pill by itself (I have known actual dogs like this).

Don't mind me over here, slathering an introduction to Transformers lore in peanut butter! (Lying:) This will be totally unrelated to the peanut butter I may offer you later!

Five Love Languages of Danmei: Cooking Bracket

["Anti-Propaganda" that attacks other characters is NOT allowed. Please only give reasons to vote FOR a character/ship & be courteous in the notes.]

Moshang from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Characters: Mobei-jun and Shang Qinghua

Submission:

noodles! hand-pulled! he'll make them!!!

Part of Moshang’s “reconciliation” (if that’s the right word) after Shang Qinghua ran away (if THAT’s the right word) involves him asking for hand-pulled noodles - something he even admits is asking for a mile when given an inch. And Mobei-jun, who is fairly bad at communicating emotions in human-terms, does! It’s the ending of Shang Qinghua settling down to start writing again & one of the few moments that it’s relatively clear that Mobei-jun is showing affection (in human terms)

Liu Qi and Bai Chuan from The Right Way to Offer a Sacrifice to The River God

Submission:

Liu Qi x Bai Chuan is a "masterful cook x ultimate foodie" couple. Not only is Liu Qi an amazing cook, his cooking is actually what first draws Bai Chuan to him. To quote: "Not long later, Liu Qi served up two dishes of home-cooked food. Tomatoes and scrambled egg, vegetables stir-fried with smoked meat, and a large bowl of fish soup." And then, a few paragraphs later: "Liu Wi once again entered the kitchen and made two bowls of noodles, added in two eggs, and topped it with a few slices of cooked beef." And then: "Liu Qi rolled his eyes at Bai Chuan's antics and asked, 'What do you still want to eat? Want me to add in another dish of fried prawns?'" And so on. Bai Chuan, being the river god, brings in all the seafood they want for Li Qi to cook: "With a shake of his sleeves, a heap of seafood that could be found in the river came out from his sleeves, making pitter-patter sounds when they landed on the floor as they were still alive and jumping around energetically. Frantically, Liu Qi called out for him to stop so he could use a small basin to pick up the prawns. The remaining fish and crabs were stored in a bamboo basket for their next meal." Even better, they split the chores! Bai Chuan uses his river god-powers to act as a magical dishwasher after Liu Qi's done cooking. Peak domestic. What harmony.

The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter, vol 1-3, by Kazuki Irodori & Yatsuki Wakatsu

I thought I had taken more detailed notes on these books to be able to write up a proper book review! These are three volumes in an ongoing manga series which I think is based on a webnovel? but I might be wrong about that. Many things are confusing to me.

Anyway! I saw this recced as a fun transmigration story that had similar vibes to moshang from svsss, and I was like, sold.

The premise:

Our main character, Kondou, gets accidentally sucked from our world into another realm along with a teen girl who is the special chosen one with amazing powers who's the only one who can save the world. Kondou, who isn't supposed to be there, is meanwhile like: "Welp. Better find some way to keep myself busy if I'm here." And volunteers to join the palace accountancy department.

The love interest, Aresh, is a handsome but taciturn captain who takes it on himself to save Kondou from his own self-destructive tendencies.

The first volume felt to me like it was mostly set-up, and it had promise but I didn't really feel like I had a good handle on the characters or their relationships.

The second volume started getting into the good stuff! However this is where my notes oh so helpfully stop, and I read the these multiple months ago so I remember approximately nothing of substance, lol. The relationship vibes are cute, I enjoy that Kondou and the chosen one do still feel a sort of friendship connection with each other since they transmigrated together even though they're very different and end up in very different spheres in this world, iirc the plot/worldbuilding development started to go somewhere in book 3, etc.

I like it and I'll be interested to keep reading! assuming I remember to keep on top of it as it comes out, lol. Which like. it's me. no guarantees.

[MBJ befriend SQQ after asking for help]

Demons Befriends Peak Lords | Scum Villain Self-Saving System 13-07-2021

[#mobeijun and #shenqingqiu being friend (feat moshang)]

What if shang qinghua often uses modern china figures of speech, jokes, meme and references. And this just leaves Mobei-jun at a loss because he doesn’t understand what his husband is talking about. He sometimes even speaks a language he doesn’t understand nor believe exists here?!?

Yet, he notices that Shen Qingqiu /understand/. The man will either use the same weird way of speaking or reference, laugh at what sqq said despite it being so confusing to mbj or even just roll his eyes.

The northern king tried asking Luo Binghe, but it was of no real use, the man didn’t really know much himself. Apparently, sqq simply said it was things peak lords knew (though he felt like it was not true, the handful of times he saw another peak lord with them they look just as confused). So he ends up just approaching mbj (waiting for lbh to be away) so he can ask him.

sqq is very confused at first when mbj asks him to help him out, but then quickly understands what he wants once he is asked what [enter meme] means. The first time mbj asks sqq tries explaining as much as possible, he takes /notes/. sqq can barely believe it, being one to teach mbj, but there's something fun about it.

next time he meets with sqh the man tells him about mbj trying to use modern jokes and expressions, but not always the right way. and he is just confused.

sqq doesn't tell him he's been teaching his husband all of this.

then it somehow become a regular thing for mbj to come to his bamboo house, drinking some quality tea while going over all the new things about sqh that mbj was not able to understand. sqq basically becomes mbj official interpretation of sqh when the man decides to "break character" a bit or when he straight up doesn't speak Chinese.

I'd like to see it as them also become kind of friends over that, mbj coming for tea even when sqh didn't say anything confusing.

just imagine mbj and sqq sitting at the table, drinking some tea as they just talk about current events or what is the latest their husband did.

So, the poll is finally over — and it is time to reveal The Truth! (Well, eight truths and one lie, to be more precise.) Let’s get to it!

9th place: “having extremely bad sex was instrumental for saving the world” TRUE

We are starting with the least voted for option, that nevertheless bamboozled 208 people (3.3% of voters). Yup, sorry to everyone who thought a gay romance novel couldn’t possibly have bad sex. We console ourselves with the fact that it was bad for thematic, plot, and character reasons.

8th place: “straight harem novel protagonist experienced a gay awakening” TRUE

First, let me apologize to everyone for my apparently ambiguous grammar. It was meant as “the protagonist of a straight harem novel”, not “a straight protagonist of a harem novel”.

Anyway, this happened! In fact, you could say this happened twice!

You see, Scum Villain is a story of a transmigrator — a guy who died and woke up in another world. More specifically, in the world of a straight harem novel he read, in the body of a villain, Shen Qingqiu. At the time our transmigrator MC entered the world, though, the protagonist of said straight harem novel was still in his teens. So not yet a murderous antihero, and not yet a harem master, but an orphaned child who up to then had a very difficult life. And encountering a man who was kind to him, believed in him, and even protected him at the cost to himself… the protagonist of a straight harem novel fell hard.

Yup, “straight harem novel protagonist” actually refers to the male lead of Scum Villain, Luo Binghe. And, despite what 239 of our voters (3.8%) thought, he did have a gay awakening — this is basically the premise of the novel!

But wait, there’s more. In one of the extra chapters, the original version of Luo Binghe ends up in the world where our transmigrator has changed things, and accidentally swaps places with our Binghe. To the OG’s shock, the villain he tortured and killed over a hundred years ago is not only alive and kicking in this world, but is… nice to him? ?? ????? ??

…So, after a couple of days it takes Shen Qingqiu to figure out that it’s not his Binghe being moody because he got injured but a whole wrong guy, the OG straight harem novel protagonist is also not what he used to be. And beseeching this kind version of his villain to come with him.

So yeah. This happened twice.

7th place: “character who thinks ‘beat them up 3 times a day’ is flirting got his man” TRUE

Honestly, this was one of the most entertaining options to watch — both in how its placement in the poll changed, and the chaos it somehow wrought among actual Scum Villain fans in the notes.

Besties… I can’t believe you forgot Mobei-jun’s iconic “love advice”. I can’t believe you thought this was about Liu Qingge. (Also I’m pretty sure someone thought this was about Binghe and said they’ll fight me if I claim this option is true. They get a free pass however because I think being ready to rip throats for Binghe is about the sexiest quality a Scum Villain fan can have.)

Anyway — yeah, this happened. Mobei-jun and Shang Qinghua, a.k.a. MoShang, are a canon side couple.

Sorry to the 287 of our voters (4.6%) who were like ‘i hope the fuck not?!’. In Mobei-jun’s defense, he is a demon born and raised, and that’s a ~Demon Culture Thing~. Also, more than a few things happened between him saying that with his full chest and riding into the sunset with his love interest. (Well, the love interest was riding; Mobei was pulling the cart.) And he had an unfair advantage of being his love interest’s literal ideal man… but more on this later.

6th place: “character played hot potato with his own half-naked corpse” TRUE

This option has suddenly pulled ahead of its closest competitor at around 4500 votes, but for what? Despite what 295 of voters (4.7%) thought, this also happened in Scum Villain. Sometimes you (a transmigrator) set up a spare body for yourself because you think the protagonist is going to kill you. And then you die (not via getting murdered). And then you come back to life in a new body. And find out that the protagonist has apparently been keeping your old — dead — body in perfect condition for 5 years in hopes of reviving you. And then during a comedy-of-errors-esque sequence of events you end up catching your own dead body, the clothes on which have come undone. And you understandably freak out and toss it to someone else. as if it was a hot potato.

5th place: “3 different demons made one character drink their blood on 5 separate occasions” TRUE

So first, I guess, I need to explain what’s the deal with the demon blood. A particular subset of demons, called heavenly demons, have a unique ability to manipulate their blood, even when it’s outside their bodies. And, importantly, inside someone else’s. This can be used to track the person down, to hurt them, to heal them… (And for sex, actually, but somebody has neglected to mention this to our half-demon ML.)

Anyway, there are three heavenly demons around, and all had made Shen Qingqiu drink their blood once or twice. No, the blood doesn’t have an expiration date — but since he happened to change bodies a couple of times…

So, to the 319 people (5.1%) who thought the blood drinking was either too weird or too normal to be true: nope, our MC is the world champion in demon blood chugging.

4th place: “character's dad is a fan of a famous porn ballad starring his son and son-in-law” TRUE

Despite the fervent hopes of 5.6% of voters (351 of them!), this one is also true.

You see, the main couple’s unhinged behaviors have captivated certain creative minds, and so there’s a ballad about them. That is very popular. And very horny. In fact it’s deadass explicit RPF.

And it just so happens that Luo Binghe’s absentee demon father (in his defense, he was imprisoned under the mountain) (not to defend him too much though, once he comes back he’s a total jerk to his son), Tianlang-jun, is a huge aficionado of human culture. Books, plays, songs, you name it. And he has an especial fondness for raunchy romances. You know, exactly like a porny ballad that just so happens to be about his son and his son’s crush.

Which is how our MC ends up in a situation where his uh-it’s-complicated’s dad asks him “have you slept with my son?” and he’s like “what? no” and the dad just starts humming a song that’s about them fucking. His life is so difficult (schadenfreude).

✨✨✨

Whew, so far so good, right? We only have the top 3 left, and the false option hasn't come up yet! And yeah, I gotta say, for a book as wild as SVSSS, the fact that six options were correctly identified as more likely to have happened than the fake one is already big. Good job!

Though, I regret to tell you, that’s where our lucky streak ends. So, allow me to present…

3rd place: “a succubus fortune teller told MC at least 5 men are in love with him” FALSE

Wait, you might say, but haven’t you defended this option before? I have, but only from the accusation that the number in it is somehow false. Excuse you, I have counted the men several times to be sure!.. that the number adhered to the popular fanon.

The story behind this option is that I thought long and hard to come up with something wild enough to match the energy of the book. In the end, I used something that happened in canon as base, spiced it up with something from fanon readings, and mashed it together in a way that (I thought) would be obvious to any reader as blatantly false — but could still snag a few unsuspecting dash osmosis in-laws. What I learned was that the SVSSS fandom didn’t read the extras enough times.

Okay, so What Is The Truth!

The truth is: a succubus fortune teller made a divination about MC’s destined partner (not who was in love with him, but rather who he had a red string of fate with), and accurately described the ML to him… without once mentioning that he was a man. (Making her prediction virtually useless to Shen Qingqiu, who at the time ID'd firmly as a straight guy and didn’t even consider this possibility... and also thought that Luo Binghe was the most heterosexual man ever, in view of the oversized harem from the original work.)

So, as you can see, the entire second half of this option was just me bullshitting. If you are one of the 387 voters (6.2%) who caught this — kudos to you!

✨✨✨

This out of the way… time to crown the victors of our ‘he couldn’t Possibly have said that’ tournament.

Without further ado, I present to you: Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu, our unparalleled transmigrator duo!

✨✨✨

2nd place goes to Shen Qingqiu, our beloved main character, with the option “MC told ML that if he was his mom, he would never abort him” (TRUE)

I would love to say it makes sense in context. And, well, it makes some sense in context. But also there are reasons Shen Qingqiu won a “character we most want to study like a bug” tournament against everyone else from all three of the author’s novels a while back, and this line was one of them. (Not even the wildest thing on his resume, tbt, but my favorite weirdo moment of his wasn’t a good fit for the poll.)

Okay, so the context for this one. At a certain point in the story, the male lead, Luo Binghe, learned that his birth mother had apparently taken the poison that would kill her unborn child (him) — in exchange for her own freedom. He already had abandonment issues up to his ears, and this was yet another thing to chip at his already shaky mental state. Eventually, after A Few More Things piled up, he had a mental breakdown of, ah, potentially world-ending proportions — and that was what it took for Shen Qingqiu to realize how miserable Luo Binghe had been the whole time, and how deeply he was hurt by Shen Qingqiu’s own actions over the course of the novel. So Shen Qingqiu resolved to (finally) take steps to show Luo Binghe that he is loved and wanted. Among other things (yes this is where our least voted option happened too), he did his best to convince Luo Binghe that his birth mother actually wanted him — that she wasn’t trying to abort him, but only took that poison to escape, and must’ve drawn all of its effects into her own body to prevent it from harming her child.

It’s only that… our most special guy decided to start that statement with: “If *I* were her…”

Anyway, as many as 478 of our voters (7.6%) unfortunately didn't believe he could have possibly said that.

✨✨✨

And finally, the 1st place — continuously since as early as 900 votes! — goes to Shang Qinghua with, “character told his love interest to call him ‘daddy’. not for kinky reasons” (TRUE)

All hail the author-god!

Oh, yeah, to explain: Shang Qinghua, a.k.a. Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, is the second transmigrator — that our MC susses out at about 1/3rd of the story. When confronted, it turns out that he is not just another reader, but in fact the author, stuck in the world of his own novel.

For this reason, he sometimes refers to other characters as his ‘children’ — usually in his head or when talking to his fellow transmigrator.

But then at one point, when he is venting his frustration with a certain demon’s behavior (see 7th place option) to said demon… who also happens to be his most beloved ‘ideal man’ OC… he, among other things, snaps: “I’m your dad! Call me daddy!”

…Meaning, ofc, something like ‘I created you!’ So, yeah — not for kinky reasons. just for totally normal author-god reasons.

With this, Airplane-bro has swayed 543 voters (8.7%) from the right path! Put it on his list of crimes next to child endangerment.

✨✨✨

Soooo… this is it! This has been a blast. I loved seeing everyone’s responses! Especially non-readers trying to logic out the unlogicable. I love you guys. Read Scum Villain 🫶

okay so since nobody else jumped to make this, here we go

(there's a 'see results' option for those who did read svsss at the end of the poll btw!)

(also i ask humbly to reblog if this poll caught your fancy. because most of my followers are from danmei fandoms and likely have read svsss)

My Top Posts in 2022:

Another reason I love Tolkien is what he does with character death

When characters die (or are perceived as having died) the others characters grieve their loss

When Gandalf falls in Moria once the rest of the fellowship is safe in Lothlorien they take time to mourn and grieve and remember

When Boromir dies Aragon, Gimli, and Legolas stop to give him as good a funeral as they can before going after Pippin and Merry and even that's not the end of his effect on the narrative.

Denethor allows his grief to destroy him (and nearly allows it to kill his other son) Faramir fights with his grief and his guilt for not going to Rivendell instead

And Frodo, who was betrayed by Boromir, is heart broken to hear of his death

The story of the Eo family is one of a family touched deeply by grief and that's why Eowyn and Faramir bonding in the houses of healing is so important

Because they do heal, by sharing their individual grief and carrying that combined pain between them

Because when death happens in LOTR it is always with intent, with purpose, and it allows for mourning. And while grief can be destructive mostly it's not, because it's shared.

(and I know there are a lot more examples these are just the first that came to mind)

Too many times I have read fantasy novels that don't let characters support each other when a character dies. And often if a character dies it's sad in the moment and then the narrative just stops caring

Tolkien's work is a story about grief and healing from it. People are changed by grief but it doesn't have to be a bad thing, it's just something that happens and that love and mutual support can carry you through

"I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil."

This is why I love Tolkien

Hey people coming here from Twitter or tiktok?

Tagging your posts with unrelated trending tags doesn't "manipulate the algorithm" or whatever the fuck you do it for

It just clogs the tag with posts people don't care about and pisses them the fuck off

Tagging trending tags onto unrelated posts isn't something we do here and is actually against Tumblr etiquette

So for the love of Christ knock it the fuck off

We have a barely functioning search function. Don't fuck it up more

Me: so apparently Looney tunes Instagram declared that Bugs Bunny and Daffy are canonically a couple

Husband: *long long long pause as they process this*

Me: I mean it makes sense

Husband: well since they're both men I hope Bugs tops because ducks have corkscrew dicks

Me: oh bugs definitely tops

“Sorry,” Shang Qinghua says again. “I really didn’t mean it.”

Luo Binghe snorts. “It would be very concerning if you did mean to dump scalding hot coffee on a stranger.”

Shang Qinghua winces. “Sorry.”

“Luo Binghe,” Mobei Jun says.

Luo Binghe turns to Mobei Jun, grin wide and amused. “I can’t believe I am your emergency contact. Mobei, are we really at that level of friendship?”

“Shut up,” Mobei Jun grits out, “and deal with this properly.”

“Is this the way to talk to your emergency contact?” Luo Binghe murmurs.

“No, but this is how I talk to my lawyer, whose time he’s made it clear to me that I am paying for,” Mobei Jun says.

Luo Binghe’s smile widens, and he turns back to look at Shang Qinghua. “Let’s talk damages.”

Shang Qinghua gulps.

Luo Binghe is just about to start speaking, when the door opens, and Shen Yuan steps in.

“Airplane Bro!” he says. “Are you okay?”

Shang Qinghua nods. “I uh, may have...stretched the truth a little to get you here? I’m not hurt! But I kind of uh, accidentally burnt-”

“Shizun?”

Shen Yuan turns towards the voice, and does a double take. “Binghe?”

Shang Qinghua watches in amazement as Luo Binghe goes from menacing lawyer to bright-eyed puppy in less than two seconds.

“Shizun remembers me?” Luo Binghe asks, pleased.

Shang Qinghua accidentally meets Mobei Jun’s eyes. ‘Shizun?’ he mouths at Mobei Jun, because what in the fuck?

Mobei Jun lifts his uninjured shoulder in a shrug.

“What are you doing here, Binghe?” Shen Yuan asks, and then catches sight of Mobei Jun. “Ah. Here to negotiate a settlement out of court, counsel?” he asks wryly.

Luo Binghe shakes his head vehemently. “No!” he says. “Of course not! I didn’t know he was shizun’s friend!” He claps a hand down on Mobei Jun’s shoulder. “My friend here is usually clumsy,” he tells Shen Yuan. “This probably happens all the time. He’s also a little more sensitive to heat than anyone else, so the coffee probably wasn’t hot enough to cause serious damage. He’ll live!”

Shang Qinghua blinks at the one-eighty Luo Binghe has done. When he looks at Mobei Jun, Mobei Jun is frowning, but otherwise not saying anything else.

Shen Yuan nods. “We’ll take care of his medical bills, of course.”

“No need!” Luo Binghe blurts out. “Mobei has more money than he knows how to deal with!”

Shang Qinghua gapes.

Mobei Jun scowls.

Shen Yuan arches an eyebrow.

Luo Binghe just continues smiling sweetly at Shen Yuan. “Well, if shizun and his friend wish to make amends, how about buying us dinner one night?”

‘Dinner?’ Shang Qinghua mouths, incredulous.

‘He’s an idiot,’ Mobei Jun mouths back.

Shang Qinghua’s lips twitch.

“It’s only right that we take care of the medical bills, Binghe,” Shen Yuan insists. “I’ll go do that now.”

“But shizun-” Luo Binghe whines, trailing him out of the room.

“So,” Shang Qinghua says, after a beat.

“So,” Mobei Jun echoes.

“I really am sorry,” Shang Qinghua says, with as much sincerity as he can muster. “It really was my fault. I got distracted when I was walking, and then before I knew it...”

He doesn’t mention that it was Mobei Jun that he got distracted thinking about. It’s not 100% his fault! If the universe thinks that it can drop someone like Mobei Jun in front of Shang Qinghua in the line for coffee, and then have Shang Qinghua not think about him, it’s the universe’s fault for asking for too much from Shang Qinghua.

Mobei Jun nods. “Dinner,” he says, eventually.

“What?”

“You can buy me dinner tomorrow night,” Mobei Jun clarifies.

Oh!

Shang Qinghua stares. “To apologise?”

“In part,” Mobei Jun allows.

“And the other part?” Shang Qinghua asks.

“I would’ve dodged, but I was distracted too,” Mobei Jun admits. “I thought you were cute.”

Oh.

Shang Qinghua feels his face heat. “Okay then,” he says, a small smile curving over his lips, “it’s a date.”

(buy me a kofi!)

Come on guys, don't leave these in the tags, I miss them sometimes (says the one that likes to place all their thoughts in the tags..)

I imagine the courting would work sort of like demon courting, but also different in certain ways. From what I seem to recall (I can't tell if this is canon or fanon), demons kinda beat up their partners as proof that they, themself, are stronger and therefore can provide and protect. On the other hand, dragons go about trying to murder their person of interest to see if their potential mate has what it takes to provide for their young and uh, survive bonding events ☺️

So it's different intensity and intention, but would look quite similar on the outside. Ofc, that's not all it is. Dragons have hoards, and if they consider you in the highest regard, they may part with select belongings as gifts. But don't expect it to happen, and definitely not often, it really depends.

Also SY absolutely clocks onto what MBJ is doing immediately. Results in earlier revelations for Moshang. He's just very judgemental, looking at the Icy Lord™ persistently beating up this scrawny pathetic hamster of a man that clearly doesn't even want to fight back. Where's the appeal? Isn't that just bullying? Just add him to your hoard if you like him so much.

And on that note, family building isn't the only way to get a dragon's love and attention! This inspo came to me whilst replying to the comments, but there's no limits to a dragon's hoard! Which can totally include living beings, sentient or otherwise. That... May have caused issues in the past, in SY's old world, but that's a story for another day! One could totally become a hoard member (not that it happens often, what with dragons being mostly unknown and all, at least their types). And that's what I imagine YQY would be. He shows up with all those hoard-worthy gifts and looks like a kicked puppy, SQQ-Yuan can't help but be endeared.

What does it mean to be a hoard member, you ask? Well, guaranteed protection, for one. Maybe possessiveness and control for some dragons, it depends on the dragon. SY is on the more relaxed side of the spectrum, so YQY lucked out (or maybe not, that guy honestly might've preferred it, who knows). Anyways, main difference between being in a dragon's hoard vs family, is that they always ensure the wellbeing of their hoard. The sect leader looks more tired than usual? Dragged to bed or bullied into his nest to sleep. SY absolutely ignores any misunderstandings and cues ppl are getting from this, or the complicated past his host body shares with his hoard member. You know, like the smart dragon he is. YQY is absolutely overjoyed, but he also needs his Xiao Jiu to tone down a little- (when he called him Xiao Jiu, SQQ hissed and looked like he would bite his head off). It was a good thing he was the strongest cultivator of his generation, because God forbid he shows up with some sort of injury, SY might be out for blood.

(The Peak Lords are furiously testing for possession)

Went on a tangent there, but anyw, hoards! Instead of the typical gold and valuables, hoards generally consist of what dragons find precious and hyperfixate on. Truly fitting the ADHD peak, Yuan. Ofc, shinies and valuables make their way in there naturally, but they don't all consist of priceless goods or artifacts, once again it ranges from dragon to dragon.

I like to imagine that SY's hoard as SQQ consists of a whole assortment of fans and choice monster parts, some of those from LQG (ideal mate!!). Wld say rare plants as well, but despite fanon interpretations, canon SY doesn't actually seem to have much interest in the different plants and flowers used as plot devices. Also, if his hoard ever contained a plant that Qian Cao maybe really needed, that'll just cause quite a bit of conflict.

SY's hoard in his old world is absolutely still with him tho. How, you ask? Ever try to separate a dragon from its hoard? ☺️🔪 He would have truly done everything in his power to eviscerate the damn system, consequences be damned. System realised SQQ wouldn't be able to direct the story properly in that state either, so now he basically has the privilege of a neverending inventory for his hoard, with all his belongings from his old world included, under the condition that no inhabitants of his current world would be allowed to see it. I reckon this would give rise to funny shenanigans between the transmigrator duo. Also, funny scenarios like him pulling out neverending fans from his sleeves, that actually came from his inventory (Shen-shixiong why do you have so many fans in your sleeves?!), or even just those hilarious memes of people pulling huge or numerous objects out of a small space.

Oh, Shen Yuan absolutely does that, it was even written into one of my reblogs, but then I didn't know you had to press save as draft specifically and deleted the whole thing... With other things... Sighhh. Let me try to rmb what I wrote...

LQG, decidedly not on the same page: it's just what Bai Zhan does as training. Why should your disciples be trying to kill you?

SQQ ignores any further questions and decides that the children must just not have enough training! He's heard their wishes! Man he is so good at this parenting thing!

QJP now harbours a lifetime grudge against BZP. Shizun, they're the scholarly peak. Shizunnn! They've raised their skill level, but at what cost?

SQQ frequently sends his disciples out on monster hunts and such, as tests, for experience, to hone their skills... Etc. All perfectly normal for a Shizun to do, if it wasn't for the sheer level of difficulty of some of them. There absolutely have been interventions by Peak Lords, because, are you trying to get those disciples of yours killed, Shen-shixiong???

But... Once the disciples are actually questioned, none of them seem truly dissatisfied. Sure, their shizun sends them out on all manners of quests, generally forcing them to utilize all they have and push their limits in order to complete it (even dragon younglings cannot be called weak-), but no one is ever truly in danger of dying, even if there are injuries aplenty (but also someone better tell SY soon that human young can't regenerate their limbs-). Ofc, there have been instances where the disciples have almost died, but Shizun is always there at the sidelines, swooping in to rescue his ki- uh, the disciple in question, and then promptly mauling the creature responsible before he turns back to cluck and fuss over the disciple. Despite that, everyone still tries their darnest tho, for one, it's to make their Shizun proud, but also more importantly, despite the fussing and coddling immediately after, the disciple in question is always subjected to training from hell in the near future.

Also concerningly brought up to the Peak Lords' notice, SQQ seems to deeply lament about how none of his kids, even grown up as they are, have taken a shot at him (in a murderous way). Sure, it's cute how they stick to him so much and seem really attached, but he could've sworn he wasn't this attached to his parents, even as a hatchling? Was it because he was still a juvenile, and therefore didn't exert the same pressure as an adult, so the kids don't feel the same compulsion to attack him??

Regardless, peak lords try to subtly question SQQ to gauge his mental state. Could it be the grief of losing his favourite disciple causing all of this...? But, nope. An off-handed remark from SQQ-Y abt his fun experience of trying to murder his mom has them realizing that, oh, nevermind, SQQ just has a skewed perception of what normal is. How did they never notice this before???

Meanwhile YQY is just ??? When did this happen?

A few of them could catch on that something may not exactly be adding up. How is that thought in any way normal and persist for so long? I want this to end in a reveal eventually, someway or another, and writing all of this out is making me more and more tempted to just write a fic abt it.

What should I name this AU? Just dragon au? Lol. Unhinged dragon AU.

Here are the people that made the tags: @arsonisticscholar @howam-i-theparent

Just had a sudden thought of Dragon!Shen Yuan (or any creature really) AU, where it was like a normal rite of passage for parents to raise their young (protectively, they're not jerks, just uh, very unsafe for human children, or just humans in general...), then throw them into some sort of extreme trial to prove their strength, when they're deemed ready. Oh, and it was normal, expected, even, to take a go at your parents and try to murder them as a proof of superiority, or smt like that. Doesn't mean they don't love each other! Dragons just have a different way of showing care, that's all. What's a lil play fighting?

Anyw, main point is, SY transmigrates into SQQ with this mentality. Sees his cute little sheep. Falls in love instantly and adopts him. But oh! Oh, the protagonist is so weak, so malnourished! He's gonna nurture him and make sure he's well taken care of! Such a scrawny little sheep can't possibly survive anything! Oh? What's that? He has to push the scrawny baby into the abyss? Well! Makes sense, but that's years into the future, and he has time to make sure they grow up big and strong yet! Cue all the canonical pampering.

I'd imagine during LBH's disciple days, he receives a lot more comments about him going out into the world, and there's less matchmaking from Shizun, since SY believes that girls will flock naturally to him if he's strong enough, so there's also more emphasis on his training, as well as the training of other disciples on the peak. I'm not sure how he'll react to Bai Zhan disciples. Does he comment on their strength and set off the QJP disciples, causing an interpeak war? Does he still hold the same annoyance for them and property damage?

By the time the IAC rolls around, SQQ has already sent his not so little white sheep all over to gain experience, and deemed him ready for his 'coming of age' (close to human adulthood too, he'll do fineee). There is far less tears and hesitation. When the time comes and LBH's seal is broken, SQQ feels the increase in power and the last of his worry dissipates. He basically just looks at his kid, nods, and chucks him in. Dusts off his hands and pats himself on the back. One child down, however many more to go. Oh, they grow up so fast... (Was LBH freaking out during this? Oh well, must be the nerves, he knew the feeling well. But he's read the book and knows what's going to happen. His kid will be okay, and he'll naturally gain confidence after surviving in there!... No one ever said dragons were GOOD at feelings ...)

Of course, it takes some time to adjust to the absence, but there's less grieving and freaking out over his impending doom. Sure, he's judging the original work a little. Limbless and hanging, really? SY much prefers a clean death, thank you. (How he died in his previous life is up to interpretation). But that's besides the point, his favourite is off on his trial, and it's about time to test a few of his other kiddos too (single dad to, uh, how many?)

Shen Qingqiu gains reputation as a sadistic (?) teacher that puts his disciples through dangerous missions seemingly without care, but unlike in the past, he seems to love the kids and dotes on them off-missions, so no one's really sure what's going on with... That. (He's still waiting for one of them, any of them, to try and kill him? Where's the bonding?? Was he not doing enough???)

So when LBH returns, things go uh, differently. SQQ is just here, waiting in anticipation, appreciating how his kid's all grown up, and seeing the scheme to unfold. Safe to say, people are confused. (Him, especially. What do you mean, his kid isn't trying to kill him?? Really, where did he go so wrong in parenting? None of his kids want to bond with him the proper way!!)

(I imagine SY being a better fighter than in canon due to literal trial of fire as a dragonet, and I'm not sure if he would've gotten hit with without a cure at all during the invasion in consideration of this)

Elaboration time: SVSSS AU where Airplane Bro is given the choice between the role of Shang Qinghua and an “original role” (he’s not high-ranking enough, according to the System, to get a better role). Airplane Bro is of course like, “Shang Qinghua?! Fuck, no! That role sucks! I don’t want to die!”

So, he gets the “original role”, which means he just transmigrates in as himself, as an adult, and the System of course gives zero support. Airplane Bro gets to be like, “Oh, boy! I’m homeless in my own fantasy world! Fuck!”

Airplane Bro is a resourceful little bastard, so he manages to survive and create a living for himself. I like the idea of Airplane Bro actually managing to become a merchant and inventor. I also like the idea of Airplane Bro striking a deal with the An Ding Peak Lord, who takes a chance on this dirty man saying wild shit because why not, and becomes a sort of consultant / researcher for Cang Qiong Mountain Sect in exchange for 1) money, and 2) learning how to cultivate. It’s not exactly a stable living, but it’s interesting and it is a living!

Maybe Airplane Bro forms a connection with Original Shang Qinghua, because the System just dumped him in the vicinity of the Shang family, and Airplane Bro feels some “bro, I am SO GLAD that I am not you” guilt over the kid. It’s not like an Uncle-Nephew relationship, it’s more of a “Weirdo Friend Of Family and Long-Suffering Son Of Family With Great Ambitions” situation, but it compels Airplane Bro to be in the area when Original Shang Qinghua is an An Ding disciple and on a mission, and ends with Airplane Bro accidentally intercepting an injured Mobei-Jun before he can meet the An Ding disciples.

So, Airplane Bro meets Mobei-Jun when he is fifty-ish, probably forty-seven-ish at the youngest. He’s an “immortal” cultivator now thanks to desperate hard work and possibly some cheats, but it took a while and so he looks his age.

Mobei-Jun has been saved by this fifty-year-old man who is putting on the eccentric old man act a little too hard and treating him kind of like a misbehaving disciple (because Airplane Bro knows the ONLY control he has over this situation is what he can convince Mobei-Jun to give him), but the guy is also relentlessly kind to young, injured Mobei-Jun. He treats Mobei-Jun like he’s worth being taken care of and protected and spoiled.

Airplane Bro’s situation here is better than canon, so he lets Mobei-Jun stay until he’s all healed, then sees him off with some extra supplies and dubiously useful words of wisdom, like, “Wow, that was a weird encounter! At least I got to see my favorite character as a kid (Mobei-Jun is either a teenager or a very young adult, but to Airplane Bro that’s “kid”)! He’s such a brat! But so cute!”

Meanwhile, the entire time, Mobei-Jun has kind of been in a state of shock. Partly a “oh shit, this is AWAKENING something in me” shock, but Mobei-Jun isn’t self-aware enough to recognize that his father-figure issues just grew three times in size this day.

And of course Airplane Bro and Mobei-Jun keep running into each other somehow, and built a deeply strange almost-friendship built on weird favors of “chance” encounters. But since this is Moshang, it definitely takes 10-20 years before anything romantic happens, because Airplane Bro and Mobei-Jun are both dense as bricks. Does Mobei-Jun know why getting a head pat from this incredibly bizarre man does something to him? Absolutely not at first. Airplane Bro thinks, “Ah, shame I’m too old for him,” and shelves the concept for at least ten years, while everyone surrounding them is like, “I am Uncomfortable with the amount of DESPERATE LUST coming from that young ice demon.”

(Side note: You ever look at Canon Era Mobei-Jun and think to yourself, “Holy shit, that man is FORTY YEARS OLD at minimum. Sir, you are FORTY+, get your SHIT TOGETHER.”)

One way to keep their relationship going is to have the System summon another event to force Mobei-Jun into the whole spy shenanigans with Original Shang Qinghua, and Airplane Bro runs into Mobei-Jun again through his vague, almost “fairy godfather” relationship with Original Shang Qinghua, or through the fact that he likes to show up at Cang Qiong to get shitfaced with the An Ding Peak Lord, who thinks this guy is weird as fuck but strangely useful and incredibly entertaining, and still better company than the other peak lords.

I headcanon Original Shang Qinghua as being extremely ambitious and Mobei-Jun originally had some vague plans to conquer the Human Realm, but neither Mobei-Jun nor Original Shang Qinghua have any practical idea on how to achieve this or why this would be a good thing to have. Meanwhile Airplane Bro’s stance on these world domination plans is mostly just, “Okay, first of all, calm the fuck down, you’re both, like, twelve.”

I have no idea where exactly this would diverge from canon or how, but it probably would, because most of my fics end up being canon divergence in some way or another. The important thing here is that Airplane Bro really is Just Some Guy that Mobei-Jun is head-over-heels for, despite the fact that there’s a significant age difference between them (visible to everyone else now).

If Original Shang Qinghua ends up having a role in this fic, it is to hate Mobei-Jun’s guts for trying to steal HIS mysterious mentor/benefactor in his world domination plans, until he realizes that Mobei-Jun is hot for the guy, and then he’s like, “OH MY GOD. I’M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR REAL NOW.” If he reforms on becoming a traitor, his role is to be Deeply Unimpressed With Everything. Why does he have to witness this nonsense?

When Shen Yuan comes along and Binghe becomes A Problem, Original Shang Qinghua looks him dead in the eye and says, “You know your disciple wants to fuck you, right? God, I’m sick of this shit.”

I like the idea of Moshang at least getting their shit together before Bingqiu because of this scenario:

Sha Hualing looks at Mobei-Jun embarrassingly in lust and love with this totally average, middle-aged man who is a little eccentric but clearly deeply fond of him and prone to spoiling him, and says, “Gross.”

Then she looks beside her, where sits Demon Emperor Luo Binghe, still wretchedly single in the face of Shen Qingqiu’s (Shen Yuan’s) obliviousness, and the protagonist is seething with envy.

This continues my “Airplane Bro is an Old Man” and “Mobei-Jun desperately wants to be topped by Shang Qinghua (Airplane Bro)” agenda. Thank you for listening.
