Some more about the 10 suns, because I think they're pretty neat. Today is mostly gonna be cool details that I didn't go into before.

So, I don't think I've mentioned where the suns hung out when they weren't doing their jobs, and that's a shame because it's pretty cool.

See, there's this massive tree called Fusang that grew in the Tang Valley. It's so big that it has an entire palace in it's branches. Talk about a fancy tree house, right? And, of course, it has immortality giving fruit like 80% of all other magic trees in ancient China (seriously, with all these immortality fruits, it's a wonder the 10 Kings of the Underworld have jobs anymore).

Anyway, they all lived in the tree, but how they took turns being in the sky varies by telling. Some stories have their mother Xihe carry them across in a chariot pulled by dragons, but sometimes they just climb the tree and sit at the top all day. One myth says that the suns were actually carried around by magic crows that Xihe blinded to keep them from taking her sons down to the mortal realm, so instead they decided to take the crows to the top of the tree and cause Problems. Whoops.

Last but not least, the last sun. See, all the myths with these guys mention that one stays in the sky, which makes sense because we kinda need at least one of them. They were only a problem because they all decided to party together. But it also makes sense that the last sun would be pretty nervous about coming out again after all 9 of his brothers either got sniped by Hou Yi or Shen I, or smashed with a mountain by Erlang Shen. That's when someone or something decided to have roosters crow at sunrise, to tell him to get his butt up there and do his job.

To understand how everyone feels about shen yuan you have to think of him as a beloved neighbourhood cat. Everyone loves him. If you can get him to sit next to you for a few minutes, you have the right to tell everyone around while they glare at you in jealousy. If he scratches someone, everyone will agree they must have done something wrong to deserve that, because our cat is so sweet and lovely. If you say you don't like him, everyone hates you because what sick fuck doesn't like cute cats?

So you can imagine when someone (binghe) takes the cat that should belong to everyone and decides its going to be HIS own now. The entire neighbourhood would be up in arms. Shen Yuan is EVERYONES cat and they demand he's let back out so they can occasionally get ten seconds to pet it.

But then something terrible happens: the cat decides it likes binghe and wants to stay inside his house. Even when everyone holds the door wide open and tries to lure him out with treats, he ignores it and jumps onto binghes lap. Everyone is devastated. Their cat CHOSE to be with the guy who stole him away from them.

There's nothing they can do other than randomly barge into the cats new home every now and then, pathetically hoping for a bit of his attention while annoying the cats new owner.

That's shen yuan.
