Ohhh random gush post cuz I can’t seem to focus on my essay after reading the latest chapter which filled me with SO MUCH DELIGHT. I just gotta let these words out cuz they’ve been festering in my brain for a bit.

SVSSS and Moshang fans are probably familiar with this name, but for anybody who doesn’t know (cuz ley’s be honest I don’t have a lot of followers and this is probably gonna get buried under a bunch of other Tumblr posts), Tossawary is a pretty active SVSSS author. I love them so much. Like, they post on Tumblr pretty regularly, draws art, AND writes amazing fics. I feel like the SVSSS fandom struck a goldmine with them.*

More under the cut cuz this got a bit long? And there may be some spoilers to their fics. 

The thing I love the most is how they always seem to complete their fics? And this gives me SUCH a sense of security? Because I HATE feeling the pain of seeing a discontinued WIP so much, but with their stories I get to enjoy the joy/agony of waiting for new chapter updates without having to worry about whether or not it will actually finish.

(And this is no hate to authors who DO have unfinished WIPs, okay. Even if they’re unfinished, I’m honestly glad it was put out in the world for readers to enjoy. Please don’t see this post as a bash, because you’re great too.)

They also write one of my most favorite versions of Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun? (And Moshang in general.) Like, they perfectly capture the mess and hilarity of the ship, the REALLY BAD miscommunications and weird history together. They write meta posts and fic ideas about Mobei-jun’s family history and thought process, and how he would come to fall for a weird guy like Shang Qinghua. 

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! Because they also create lovely OC’s (Luo Jiahui and Peng Hongpeng, I’m staring directly at you). Like, they add to the stories perfectly, they’re properly fleshed out, and their relationships with Shang Qinghua are wonderful. 

The relationships--romantic or platonic--in general are great. THEY GOT ME TO LIKE A SHIP I WASN’T ORIGINALLY EVEN INTO (cough shang qinghua x yue qingyuan). They gave me a lovely familial dynamic between Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe!** THEY LET LBH’S MOM SURVIVE, AND HAD SVSSS!LBH MEET HER!***  

And as someone who’s a sucker for worldbuilding, Tossawary fleshes out the history and setting of the SVSSS/PIDW world beautifully. I have a thing about reading the day-to-day tasks and stories of life on Cang Qiong Mountain, and how the world works outside of that. Like, yes please, tell me more about what the Peak Lords talk about in their meetings. I actually do really want to know about the kind of requests/documents/dealings Shang Qinghua has to deal with.

Anyways some of my favorite fics:

Nothing to Me, Nothing to You-- A SVSSS and MDZS fusion featuring Cloud Recesses Shang Qinghua and Yue Qingyuan, and Wen!Mobei-jun. It features a lovely friendship between YQY and SQH, and Moshang slowly getting closer and acting like dumb teens. 

Stepping Up- Currently on chapter three, and inspired me to write this post in the first place. IT’S AN DING LBH GETTING (kinda) ADOPTED BY SQH! AND DISAPPROVING OF MBJ! Just watching his protective mode go on sqh is a delight, they deserve to be in cahoots. THEY DESERVE TO BOTH BE CARED FOR. 

the ability to remain sober and gracious- I’m a qijiu simp okay. Even if this fic isn’t romantic, I still love how the argument turned out. And how that argument even started hehe. 

Catch a Falling Star- It’s a Stardust/SVSSS fusion. SY is the star, and he’s going on a road trip with lqg and lbh. Need I say more? 

love to the ones i’ve never met- This fic’s synopsis BROKE MY BRAIN FOR A BIT. I WENT FERAL WHEN LJH AND SVSSS!LBH MET! WHEN LBH GOT TO SEE THE PINTWILF UNIVERSE! I’VE WANTED THIS SO FOR MUCH. HE DESERVES TO HAVE A FAMILY AND GET MOTHERED AGAIN. 

Anyways if you haven’t read their fics please do. Tossawary if you ever read this post just know your hard work is appreciated and very much loved. 

*Also not to say I don’t appreciate other svsss/moshang authors, because I DO. The fandom is full of amazing talented people, and I delight in all their creations. 

**I have very strong VERY SPECIFIC FEELINGS about LBH having close platonic relationships. That boy needs friends and family, he’s suffered enough in canon!  

***It was everything I ever wanted

re: peng hongpeng - god, JGY would have been SO much better off if he’d had a boss like SQH instead of NMJ in his formative years lmao

like ‘oh, you’re lying and being manipulative? Great, you have correctly absorbed my lessons, here, have a cookie.’

and he’d so clearly THRIVE as part of the ‘Bureaucracy and Paperwork’ peak, instead of being asked to assimilate into the ‘violence solves all problems’ sect! Give him a clipboard and a pat on the head! He deserves it!

Hey, you uh, you want to talk about which disciples are inspired by who? 🙏🙏🙏

They’re definitely not exact transplants, but sometimes I just need to borrow a MDZS character’s vibes, you know? 

An Ding Peak: 

- Peng Hongpeng (Spots) -> Jin Guangyao, if JGY had less family issues and less murderous ambition. PHP was like, “Oh, being well-behaved wasn’t working? Time to cling shamelessly to my shifu’s feet to advance myself. Oh, the things I have to do around here for some respect!” 

- Lin Wenjiao (Dumpling Thief) and Chen Xuan (Dumpling Thief’s Friend) -> Nie Huaisang, if NHS was more food-focused, and also if NHS had less family issues and less murderous ambition. And also if there were two of him. 

- I try to use OCs relatively sparingly, so those are the really recognizable ones from An Ding. The only other named ones are Wu Shufen (Sticky Fingers the Kleptomaniac) and Xue Yanxin (Rabbit Teeth), who would probably be A-Jing | A-Qing and Wen Ning respectively. 

Shang Qinghua surrounds himself with shameless liars and unrepentant thieves and budding conmen (+ one Wen Ning, a.k.a. the getaway driver, equivalent), and thinks they’re cute. Aw, baby’s first manipulation! 

Huan Hua Palace Not-Disciples: 

- Duan Tianyu (Eyebrows Extra Thick) -> Jin Zixuan, borrowing that “prone to arrogance and severe fuck-ups, but with a super sensitive heart of gold” energy. Desperate for a dad or uncle figure to teach him some street skills. 

- Yu Chaonan (Duan Tianyu’s Friend) -> Lan Jingyi, if LJY could be chill. So, a Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui combination? To balance out Duan Tianyu. 

Other OCs: 

- Luo Jiahui is her own character, though I did and do borrow various MXTX character vibes for her. She’s actually most based off Luo Binghe, since she is the one who raised him for the first part of his life, so I took White Sheep Luo Binghe, from the earnestness and devotion to the buried suspicions and occasional bouts of passive-aggressiveness. 

Luo Jiahui and Shang Qinghua have by now rubbed off on each other a little. Luo Jiahui is comfortably enough to scheme and openly manipulate a little more, and to boss people around (also like LBH). And Shang Qinghua is a little more nurturing and caring of the people he feels responsible for. 

- Luo Fanli is basically 50% the female version of Liu Qingge, with 25% Luo Jiahui and 25% Shang Qinghua, to make her own person. 

- Fu Qiang (Shen Qingqiu’s New Disciple) -> Wen Qing, if anyone in the MDZS cast. She hasn’t appeared much yet, so it’s too early to say for sure.

"5 random facts about an Oc that you haven’t shared before. Pass it on once done!"

Thought it would be fun to hear about your OCs since they are all so vibrant.

Thank you for the question! I like talking about them, but I think you guys know most of the information I have about my OCs, since I mostly just make up their information as I need it for the story. But I can definitely collect some facts about them here, as a lot of the info is scattered across various commentary posts, and I think there are some "making of" facts about them I haven't shared yet.

I tend to use my OCs across fics if I can, but the interpretations change depending on the needs of the fic, in the same way that the interpretations of the canon characters change according to the needs of the fic. (Example: In PINTWILF, Liu Qingge has living, loving parents. In my Stardust AU, Liu Qingge is an orphan and raised Mingyan while living at Cang Qiong.)

I think I'll just go through my list of OCs and see what facts (new and old) about them pop into my mind.

My worldbuilding document is grouped by affiliation, so I guess we're starting with Cang Qiong and Qiong Ding Peak.

I once said that a some of my OCs in PINTWILF are loosely based on MDZS or other MXTX characters. Link to that post: https://tossawary.tumblr.com/post/645024544477822976/.

Xing Bao (PINTWILF), Yue Qingyuan's sixth assistant and favorite disciple, a former victim of the House of Rejuvenation, and the one who accidentally called YQY "Dad", is actually based on Yue Qingyuan himself. A genial disciple who took on responsibility and went through great hardship at a young age. Yue Qingyuan is getting to "make up" for his past by doing better for A-Bao than his master did for him.

Likewise, Fu Qiang of Qing Jing (Shen Qingqiu's "assassin" in PINTWILF) is in some ways a young Shen Qingqiu, though she's intensely private and not quite as hot-tempered. She came out of the House of Rejuvenation wanting a bloody revenge and Shen Qingqiu has helped her get that.

They take inspiration from Qijiu, but are their own people, in part because Qijiu have helped them avoid terrible fates.

Chen Xuan of An Ding Peak, also known as "Dumpling Thief's Friend" (PINTWILF), is actually a legacy disciple. Her mother is an An Ding cultivator, older than Shang Qinghua but still vaguely of the same "generation", named Chen Riling.

Chen Riling appears in my MDZS AU "Nothing to Me, Nothing to You", though she's roughly the same age as Shang Qinghua in that fic. Shang Qinghua in NTMNTY doesn't know this, but Chen Riling is supposed to be the future Madam Shang. The original Shang Qinghua in that AU was a Jin Guangyao Evil Uncle type and there is a fleeting mention in Airplane Bro's original story of a Madam Shang who also met a terrible fate before/after SQH was murdered by MBJ, but the transmigrated Airplane Bro has no intention of getting married and has not realized that the future Madam Shang Qinghua already exists in this world. Chen Riling already has a crush on Shang Qinghua. He is never going to notice until she asks him directly whether or not she ever has a chance with him.

(He's going to turn her down. She will get married to someone else and have Chen Xuan in the NTMNTY universe, and also have insight into the disastrous Moshang romance as one of SQH's friends and feel like she dodged a fucking bullet.)

Peng Hongpeng (PINTWILF), also known as "Spots", has no parents in his life and has fortunately or unfortunately latched on to Shang Qinghua as a parental figure. He looks up to and cares for Shang Qinghua very much, but he does carry some resentment for the things Shang Qinghua has put him through without recognizing him as he would like to be recognized.

Lin Wenjiao (PINTWILF), also known as "Dumpling Thief", is probably most likely to be the next peak lord at this point. Shang Qinghua has the final say, but peak politics do matter somewhat, and Peng Hongpeng's current entanglements with Shang Qinghua and the Demon Realm have made him slightly less popular than Lin Wenjiao on An Ding Peak. Lin Wenjiao has taken advantage of his absences to the Demon Realm, which he knows, and they're still friends.

Shao Jing (PINTWILF), Mu Qingfang's disciple on Qian Cao Peak, will probably not end up with Mobei Zhao. Sorry, guys! She really didn't enjoy her stint in the Demon Realm. Nor her breakup with Peng Hongpeng, even if she's the one who dumped him. She doesn't dislike Mobei Zhao, though. She just needs some time.

Granny Sun (PINTWILF) is the widow of a Cang Qiong cultivator, her late wife. Part of the reason she's so standoffish towards Shang Qinghua is that she's bitter about cultivators going off and dying for "glory" and then leaving people behind.

Tea Shop Auntie (PINTWILF), who wanted Jiahui to marry one of her sons, has a sister who is a sex worker at one of the places that Shen Qingqiu visits for some damn privacy. Tea Shop Auntie's sister saw Shang Qinghua and Luo Jiahui in their early days in Sanjiao Town, and told Shen Qingqiu immediately the next time she saw him.

Master Gao (PINTWILF), former master of the House of Rejuvenation, who was murdered by Elder Lady Xia's attendants, was to be Madam Hu's (PINTWILF) first husband. They are the scum villains from two different plot lines that got combined because of accidental implications on Airplane Bro's part. Master Gao is the asshole rich guy who harassed the protagonist's mother. Madam Hu, mistress of the House of Rejuvenation, was to be the evil stepmother of a Cinderella-type wife character, "the widow of the richest man in town" who married the wife character's father and may or may not have offed her first husband. If not for Shang Qinghua's actions causing a number of different For Want of a Nail changes, Madam Hu would have eventually murdered Master Gao.

Shi Chun (PINTWILF) is the late mother of the Little Palace Mistress. She was Su Xiyan's shimei and the one who ratted out Su Xiyan's pregnancy to the Old Palace Master, already pregnant at the time with the Old Palace Master's daughter. She was very much the Palace Master's "consolation prize" for not getting Su Xiyan. Her time as Palace Mistress did not last very long.

Fan Yuchen (PINTWILF) is very like Liu Qingge in temperament. He shocked everyone at Tian Yi Overlook when he suddenly announced he was going to marry Ding Lanfen because she was pregnant with his child (Bai Jianming's child). Like, before that, no one who knew him would have believed that this guy fucked.

Ding Lanfen's daughter (PINTWILF), the secret niece of the current Xifeng-Jun, is a little like Zhuzhi-Lang in that she didn't get "the perfect mix of both worlds" like Binghe did. She has some tiger-like features that are a little hard to hide sometimes, including a tail.

Mobei Zhao (PINTWILF) | Mobei Didi (Babe in the Woods) is Mobei-Jun's younger brother. I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking half-brother, and I like to imagine the other half being some kind of water-type ice demon, like a selkie thing. Because I want to have Nanny Shang Qinghua forced to wrestle a slippery baby seal demon type thing into bathtime. In PINTWILF, Mobei Zhao does not know that he is Mobei-Jun's brother. Mobei-Jun gave him away and told everyone that he was dead in order to protect him from Linguang-Jun, and then never talked about it for the next twenty years or so.

Mobei-Jun's great-aunts are there because I was like, "WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?!" But also, like, "WHERE ARE ALL THE OLDER WOMEN IN FANTASY MEDIA?!" I didn't want to have to deal with Mobei-Jun's mother. Or potential wife character sisters. Also, I think it's funny if Meng Mo, the Elder Dream Demon, actually knows other older demons and there's a deeper history to the world.

Shuang Yun (PINTWILF), the wind demon always crashing into windows, Mobei Zhao's best friend, is very, very, very loosely inspired by Lan Xichen. Like, Xichen if he was stripped of all his responsibilities and a little bit drunk (Shuang Yun isn't drunk, though, he's just like that). Shuang Yun runs into windows because he's really, really, really fast. Wind demons transform into this... wind-like being when they run and it takes them a while to build up speed, but it also takes them a while to slow down, and Shuang Yun starts slowing down later than he maybe should because he doesn't see anything wrong with just slamming into a wall and then reforming.

There was another demon OC very loosely based on Nie Mingjue, but he didn't end up making it into PINTWILF.

Bai Jianming (PINTWILF and NTMNTY), known in PINTWILF as "that dead Western Prince" and known in the MDZS AU as "that asshole who got all his limbs broken by Mobei-Jun"), is probably the person who is going to attack the Cloud Recesses in the MDZS AU when the war finally gets going. I know I said that Shang Qinghua was kind of Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao, and Su She all at once in this AU, but overall, Shang Qinghua's character is actually positioned to be an evil Lan Qiren.

I would talk more about Xifeng-Jun and Elder Lady Xia, but those would probably include spoilers for an upcoming thing, so... you'll have to wait and see!

I think that's most of my prominent OCs? I know there are other OCs, but I don't think much information exists on any of them except what is already included in my fics. If I didn't cover an OC here, feel free to ask me about them at some point.

What Shang Qinghua missed happening in Chapter 28 of “pride is not the word I’m looking for” (spoilers):  

I mean, if you stack up all the evidence, IT MAKES SENSE. 

Remember when SQH had a breakdown when SQQ nearly died? You know how SQQ actually seems to tolerate Shang Qinghua?? SQQ and SQH are always giving each other weird looks??? SQH’s nephew (he’s not great at hiding it and barely tries among trusted folks) went to Qing Jing!!!

Lin Wenjiao: “...I thought he had better taste in men than that?” 

Chen Xuan: “Do you mean Shifu or Shen-Shibo?” 

Lin Wenjiao: “...Both???” 

Shen Yuan: “Is... is Peng-Shixiong alright? He’s not... breathing?” 

Lin Wenjiao: “Idk. Hongpeng! Hey, Hongpeng!” 

Peng Hongpeng: “...” 

Lin Wenjiao: “Congrats, Shidi, you broke Hongpeng.” 

Lin Wenjiao: “I’ve been trying to do that for years.” 

Congratulations, young disciples, you diagnosed your Shifu’s taste in men more or less correctly! You’re just missing the correct tall, scowling, icy, mean, beautiful man with abandonment and trust issues. 

Thank you to Shen Yuan for accidentally stabbing his transmigration mentor in the back here in an inadvertently kind of helpful way, I guess.

In my fic “pride is not the word I’m looking for”, Shang Qinghua doesn’t know this and no one plans on telling him, but the Qian Cao Peak disciple Shao Jing? She’s actually An Ding Peak disciple Peng Hongpeng’s girlfriend / friend with benefits. Spots is going to be very, VERY dumped later. He knows this. He has accepted this at this point. That’s fair. 

[tossawary]

Just a fun comment on editing PINTWILF: my main reaction to re-reading this story has been to say, “Awww, babies!” Obviously, Binghe is THE baby, but young Liu Mingyan and young Luo Jiahui are very baby, and even young Shang Qinghua and young Liu Qingge are kind of baby. Look at them trying! 

Also, slowly meeting all of the OCs is fun. Meeting young Peng Hongpeng and young Lin Wenjiao again was very fun. Same with young Duan Tianyu and Yu Chaonan. Shang Qinghua: “I’m not going to remember this person’s name because they’re not important and I don’t want to get attached!” Haha, yeah, that’s totally going to work, bro, you keep trying that. 

Then there’s a younger Mobei-Jun and... well... he tries. 

[tossawary]

SVSSS Character (+ OC) heights sketched out as I more or less personally imagine them in the AU of “pride is not the word I’m looking for” around the time period of Chapter 24. SQH is 173 cm (5′8″) and surrounded by cultivation giants (at least he has SY now, and Peng Hongpeng and Chen Xuan are still of loyal height, though Lin Wenjiao is taller).
