(what the. who threw a wife plot device in the middle of a peak lord meeting)

i thought about this bit at the end of the airplane extras the other day. bro why are you looking at your coworkers like that rn

[jobycewl]

Would you draw Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan sitting together discussing something academic, or maybe a trashy novel?

It might be a bit strange discussing a trashy novel when it’s a trashy novel that you’re from, but I think Shen Qingqiu manages his existentialism pretty well. Unlike Shen Yuan, who has a tendency not to handle things well…

TY for the request!

Shen Bros who aren't technically related at all but share the same mom (cause SJ was adopted against his will)

Their mom (is she another slave? Is she a servant of the Qiu's?) meets SJ when he's brought to the Qiu's and she's like "oh this poor child. Anyways adopted." So she helps clean him up and makes sure he eats all while SJ is hissing and biting and scratching.

Enter SY her other son who is a toddler. And he does Not like the way SJ talks to His Momma so he does what toddlers do and bites SJ every chance he gets. So now SJ has beef with a literal toddler.

Anyways mom dies, SJ loses it, the Qiu's burns down, he almost mercy kills SY before just taking him with him. So now 14/15 yr old SJ is raising his sorta not brother and he's definitely not good at it by any sort of modern standard.

He's harsh, super harsh, but also he's a traumatized kid raising another, significantly younger, traumatized kid in a shitty situation. Cause I doubt Wu Yanzi has patience for crying kids, or kids in general. So he's gotta somehow keep SY quiet and out of the way so Wu Yanzi doesn't, like, kill him.

So basically everything is the same but SJ has experienced human kindness (a little at least) AND is more stressed.

Sleepover with the Aunties!! Piece chosen by this poll :D

[ID: A Scum Villain Drawing. Plant! Shen Yuan in his early to mid-teens sits on a canopy bed with two of the courtesans from the Warm Red Pavilion, with another standing behind them pushing away one of the red curtains slightly as she enters the space. SY has a happy closed eye smile as he scratches his cheek with one hand. He has red eyeshadow under his eyes and red lipstick on. The front parts of his hair have been braided and he is wearing pale green sleeping robes. On the far left is a woman dressed in purple, wearing a sleeveless hanfu with a ribbon tied under her chest. She has straight across bangs with the sides tied into loops. Most of her hair hangs down with the top bit held in a bun by a purple hairpin. She leans on one arm as the other brings a hand up to her face as she looks at SY with a calm :3 face. Behind SY on the right is a woman dressed in primarily pink and red who is kneeling on the bed as she combs through SY's hair with a bright smile. Her brown hair is tied up into two buns and braids that look vaguely like butterflies. Behind her, and the one standing, is a woman dressed in blue with her hanfu falling off her shoulders and a slit showing her leg. Her hair is held up into a bun and a golden hairpin with blue ribbons. She looks down at the group with a soft smile. End ID]

I was thinking about the #qiu haitang shen yuan au (it lives rent free in my head rn) and sy’s probably even WORSE about assuming they’re sticking to canon and that it’s all inevitable than in svsss.

because he has, to his knowledge, done jack shit to change sj no matter what he did. He still went to brothels and beat his disciples and while sy probably understands more WHY it doesn’t at all mean he condones it. I expect he was even optimistic for a short while, thinking he’d changed things, only to have the whip scene happen, which probably crushed all those dreams.

so why would he think that anything else he did mattered? This WILL bite him in the ass later. (Esp Jinlan City)

on a lighter note, does liu mingyan still write rpf porn of them in this universe, or are they too straight for her tastes here?

Shen Yuan believes that the plot can be changed through random chance (for example, him being the one in the Lingxi Caves with Liu Qingge, instead of SJ); but after finding out that Shen Jiu was still a raging child abuser, he lost all hope/belief that anyone's character could change. Re: Jinlan, Shen Yuan ends up dead because he assumed that 1) Luo Binghe was responsible for the sowers and 2) that he set the whole thing up to frame and ultimately get revenge on Shen Jiu.

Luo Binghe was so heartbroken by this assumption that he qi deviated on the spot, which led to Shen Yuan self-destructing and dying to protect him (with no expectations of ever coming back to life, unlike in canon). The qi deviation was worse in this AU because Binghe honestly thought his Shizun still loved and believed in him, only to get hit with the revelation that she believed him to be responsible for the plague all along.

Liu Mingyan does write Bingyuan RPF, but only 1) during the last year or two before the Abyss arc and 2) after Shen Yuan is revived, not while he was dead. Shen Jiu's refusal to fight Luo Binghe for "Qiu Haitang's" remains caused a scandal that rocked the cultivation world, and "Qiu Haitang" gained a reputation as a woman who was horrifically mistreated by her husband in life and completely abandoned in death. Her story (in the public's eye) was heartbreaking from beginning to end; and under the circumstances, Liu Mingyan didn't have the heart to keep writing about her finding a happy ending with Luo Binghe.

Role swap Shizun LBH this, Role swap disciple SY that, No!

Role swap where young (teen) lbh just dies and ends up transmigrating into one of the kids SY tutors (I feeling he would) from his class

[dark-elf-writes]

“Shen Jiu. Shen jiu! Jiu-gege stop ignoring me!”

No matter how much time Shen Jiu spent with Wei Wuxian, he was never fully prepared for his incessant teasing and constant demands for attention. Part of him regretted ever giving a reaction the first time Wei Wuxian had called him gege — if a slight widening of his eyes and a lift of his brow truly counted as a reaction — but a larger part of him, the dark part of him that wanted to keep Wei Wuxian whining for his attention, thrilled every time he heard the name from those pouting lips. With how little he actually knew about Wei Wuxian, he wasn’t even entirely certain that he was the older of the two of them, but the other man seemed to find it so amusing that Shen Jiu supposed it didn’t truly matter either way.

Currently, Wei Wuxian was sprawled over the table of the room the two of them had booked (only ever one, and each one made into a veritable fortress that no one but the two do them could hope to enter with the talismans Wei Wuxian painstakingly placed in every corner and over each entrance. A haven safe enough for even Shen Jiu to fall asleep, pressed under the sprawl of Wei Wuxian’s limbs and the spicy scent of the tiger omega filling his senses) with his outer one hanging off of one shoulder and those laughing silver eyes looking up at him through criminally long lashes.

Beautiful.

And oblivious to the effect he had on everyone around him.

It was fortunate Shen Jiu had taken to the sword so easily, if only to protect Wei Wuxian from himself.

“Surely you can wait for me to finish the cultivation guide you assigned me to read, A-Xian.” The diminutive tumbled from his lips before he could stop it, easy and teasing in a way he would not have allowed with anyone else.

Something flashed in those silver eyes. Something dark and aching and full of a pain so all consuming Shen Jiu thought it would have shattered a lesser man entirely. Would have thought it would Shatter Wei Wuxian’s if he had not seen that same pain brushed away countless times since they had met.

But, sure enough, Wei Wuxian fluttered those lashes at him with another sweet pout, and the pain in those eyes was gone. “A-Ying.”

“Hm?”

Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes, then all of him so his back was against the table and his arms stretched above him, blocking the manual Shen Jiu had been reading. Shen Jiu recited the last paragraph in his head to beat back the flash of heat the sight inspired deep in his gut.

“I call you by your given name, Jiu-gege. It’s only fair that you call your A-Ying by his.”

This minx would be the death of him. Would drive him mad with glittering silver eyes full of mischief and a plush mouth pulled into a teasing pout.

Shen Jiu would allow him to.

“My A-Ying should learn to be patient,” He said, savoring the words on his tongue nearly as much as the sight of pink staining Wei Wuxian’s cheeks. Ever the one to jump on a weakness, Shen Jiu let his arms rest on either side of Wei Wuxian’s head, leaning down until he could feel the warmth of Wei Wuxian’s rapid breaths on his face. “Your Jiu-gege will play with you later, A-Ying.”

He pulled back at the odd choking sound Wei Wuxian made, letting the little terror scramble away with a weak excuse about ordering food for them both, and allowed a smug smile to pay at the corners of his mouth.

A-Ying might be the death of him, but at least the two for them would be going down together.

the way i got into svsss with no context at all, not exactly realizing that it was meant to be a gay story definitely influenced how i experienced the story i think.

[the-girl-with-too-many-ideas]

So i'm in the middle of playing the Silent Hill Remake, and it's the one and only Silent Hill game I've ever played. What I knew before was very minimal, so what I've gathered is that Silent Hill is a town that's basically aggressive therapy that takes the aggression extremely literal. Thinking about it that way, I had a thought.

What if the Ling Xi caves were more like Silent Hill. Psychological horrors and everything. It doesn't let you go until you've conquered your heart demons, and if you don't, then you Qi deviate and die.

I have not finished the game at this point, so if my interpretation is wrong, feel free to correct me.

[tinynerdycthulu]

fem!, modern moshang!!! sqh writes scum gong cheap shou novels in this au and constantly has to self-censor before the chinese government does <3 when she transmigrates into one of her novels she tries to seduce beibei because everyone knows there are only three types of female characters in BL: bitch, fujoshi, lesbian, and she'd probably get murdered by sj or lbg if she wrote rpf of them. now, you'd think that their relationship explicitly being NON-platonic would make them communicate but they're still moshang so...

oh and in this universe i think shen yuan's meimei should be the one who transmigrates bc i have this vague memory of her canonically reading hardcore bondage danmei (maybe it was a headcanon?) but i feel like she'd still have discerning taste...yk maybe she hooks up with minglingning

[rhiangalaxy]

We all know very well that it's SQQ with the harem not Bingmei 😭

[ID: A Scum Villain OC and Canon crossover doodle. On the left is SY!Shen Qingqiu looking down with a flustered expression as he waves his handfan as if trying to cool himself off as he says "I can't have feelings for Binghe! He's supposed to have a harem of wives!" On the right is the oc Liang Yingyue, with her arms crossed with an amused expression responding "I'm about to blow your mind" A caption pointing to her says "Knows damn well that LBH is not after any of his wives now" End ID]

[shararan]

On one hand, yes Shen Yuan being chronically ill pre-transmigration is fanon. On the other, I struggle NOT thinking of him as chronically ill anyway considering like... Without-A-Cure

[dark-elf-writes]

Shen Jiu hears what Wei Wuxian did to Wen Chao and has to resist the urge to jump his mate in public

But speaking of Wen Chao

Since wwx is still in his OG body, he still has the brand on his chest. Just something to think about

I’m realizing the only stipulations I put on Wei Wuxian’s body is that it was from before the fall of lotus pier and kind of around Shen Jiu’s age/a little younger than him physically

WHICH MEANS XUANWU OF SLAUGHTER INJURIES ARE ON THE FUCKING TABLE LETS GOOOOO

And Shen Jiu has been looking at that scar for years. At that sun branded into Wei Wuxian’s chest. At that brand that Wei Wuxian always laughed off and never gave a straight answer for how he received it other than the fact that he got it to spare someone else.

At that mark of ownership.

At that mark of domination.

He has traced around the edges of that brand with whisper-soft fingers countless times, silently promising that every bit of suffering his A-Ying was subjected to would be repaid a thousandfold. It didn’t matter how, but Shen Jiu would find a way to make sure his mate found justice.

And to learn his mate already had found that justice for that suffering and so much more? To find out that Wei Wuxian had destroyed the man who hurt him so thoroughly that nothing of him remained other than the horrific tales of his end?

It takes all of his self control to keep himself from dragging his A-Ying back to their nest to show him just how proud he was. To show him that the same monster that lurked under his skin also prowled beneath Shen Jiu’s own. To show him that no amount of darkness could taint his soul enough to change Shen Jiu’s feelings for him, particularly not when that darkness was the only way A-Ying survived long enough for the two of them to meet.

There would be time for that later.

In fact, he would ensure Yingying took over teaching the younger disciples the next morning… and afternoon to clear Wei Wuxian’s schedule.

[scumvsss]

Disciple Shen Yuan (during disciple Shen Jiu era) who accidentally became the Divination Peak's head disciple bc he worked so hard and used all his meta knowledge, just so he could make a video-based divination system that shows the future. The Peak Lords were all appropriately impressed and this seals Shen Yuan as the next Divination Peak Peak Lord. A lot of pre-canon problems get solved. It becomes a world-changing invention.

Shen Yuan made it just to watch the endings of all his favorite animes.

Just. The hilarity of Peak Lord Shen Yuan becoming this mysterious genius Seer, sought after by the entire cultivational world. And then he just locks himself inside, pretending to be "prophesizing" or something. He's a full blown NEET at this point. He completely misses Shen Jiu's entry to the sect bc he was too busy "dvining" the next episode of Frieren Beyond the Journey's End. The next time he comes out, its with some vague words of valuing time spent with your peers.

The Qing Generation Peak Lords immediately listens to him and are now doing constant meet ups as the equivalent of team bulding exercises. The Shen Qingqiu rumors get solved. Shen Jiu is appropriately wary of this seemingly all knowing Peak Lord whom everyone listens to. And yet he also considers. Someone who can see the future? Someone who can SPEAK of the future they see and CHANGE it? Oh? Someone who can see all possible threats? What do you mean he can also divine your past? Past as in blackmail material?

Shen Jiu, in a fit of genius proving his right to be called the sect strategist, decides he'll have to test tf outta Shen Yuan to see if he can trust him (and sj is also low key terrified and hateful bc here is someone who can ruin everything he's ever done and he will NOT just let it be tyvm) and so Shen Jiu just. Does some minor (extensive) background search. And tries ro get Shen Yuan to snap. Yeah, that's right. Just annoy the scary all-seeing dude.

Shen Yuan eventually gets super annoyed, his inner internet troll has been desperately struggling to get free for YEARS, and now here's a convenient target who totally deserves it. Shen-Shixiong you total prick, why do you keep digging up everything about Shen Yuan!

So. In a fit of similar genius spiked with way too much pettiness, Shen Yuan goes "You little prick, lets see how you like it when YOUR privacy gets invaded!" and promptly plays a random scene from Shen Jiu's future ala projector style while they were in a Peak Lord meeting.

Shen Yuan made sure its nothing distressing or embarassing, he's petty not cruel! Except he did this by just doing a routine surface level scan of the emotions involved, and it was on "happy." Shen Yuan, a fuerdai who never really knew about Shen Jiu's past, just assumed it'd be a basic scene of maybe having a good meal or talking to a friend or something. He did NOT realize how fucking rare "Happy" is for Shen Jiu.

The scene that plays is a marriage.

Two figures decked in regal red marriage robes are in a bow in front of each other. The unmistakeable Grand Hall of Cang Qiong swathed in tastefully luxurious decorations surrounds them. There are also a lot of other damning details.

Qing Jing Peak's logo is embroidered onto the billowing ribbons. Paired with Divination Peak's own logo.

The two figures stand.

Its Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan.

When future-Shen Jiu actually smiled at future-Shen Yuan (who looks disgustingly in love wtf) and started leaning in for a kiss, present-Shen Yuan violently slams the divining tool off.

The loud slam is followed with a damning silent moment. That, unfortunately, lasted only for an actual moment.

Someone clears their throat.

Its Qi Qingqi.

She has a shit eating grin on her face. Besides her, Wei Qingwei's expression is slowly starting to match. Around, the other peak lords are either too invested, or carefully avoiding looking at him and Shen Jiu.

Shen Yuan very, very carefully does not look Shen Jiu's way.

"So..." Qi Qingqi begins. "Interesting divination there, Shen-Da-Shixiong, Shen-Er-Shixiong." Her words practically drip with insinuation.

Oh God. Oh Fuck. Fuck no.

Side Notes:

Shen Yuan's eyes glow a beight system blue whenever he "divines the future"

Shen Yuan wears a fortune teller outfit, meaning he's typically covered head to toe, complete with a veil.

Shen Yuan CAN actually see the future and show it to other people, either ala projector style 2d view of his choosing. or a complete 3d (like a pensieve in hp)
