#yu qingyuan

[4esthetic-dissonance]

has anyone done an svsss au where shen jiu had a sun and dew mushroom body ready to go? I just have this image of him going back to Cang Qiong to spy on his own funeral, prove to himself that Yu Qingyuan and everyone had really resented him the whole time and instead finding Disney Princess Shen Yuan fluttering around being nice to Binghe. And I don't know whether its from a fic I've forgotten or not

[mafuyussweater]

Bring this here... mxtx chopped au (it's the amateur competition)

Judges: Shen Qingqiu, Shi Qingxuan, Mu Qing

Contestants: Xie Lian (his bf convinced him his cooking is the best), Lan Zhan, Wei Ying, and Luo Binghe

Host: Yu Qingyuan

....

Wei Ying keeps flirting with Lan Zhan by asking if he could get him something from the pantry for him and Lan Zhan without even thinking gets it for him. He gets so mad after too bc he is supposed to be in a competition. Why is he helping this guy?

Luo Binghe obviously does the best out of everyone and he can't help but flirt with the judges so the other contestants glare at him for it. During the break he is going on about how hot Shen Qingqiu is and no one is listening. Meanwhile Wei Ying keeps playing footsie with Lan Zhan

Xie Lian is depressed huddled in the corner bc he knows he is leaving first. He is honestly kinda scared for what his bf will do to the judges after he finds out haha

The judges are having a really hard time trying to decide to send Xie Lian home first because it tasted and looked awful or if they should send Wei Ying home because it burnt off their tastebuds and they aren't even sure if they could taste Lan Zhan's cooking (or if it was just bland-sorry lz it would've tasted better if he had gone first bc he likes subtlety)

Shen Qingqiu is the one who wants to send Wei Ying home since he is the babiest when it comes to spice but they decide on Xie Lian in the end 😔 the awful smell still lingered and that's what made them decide in the end

Au where Shen Jiu Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan transmigrate/reincarnate as Yu Ziyuan and Jiang Fengmian respectively?

That's murder in a bottle.

I don't just mean Shen Jiu murdering Yue Qi btw. Yue Qi would let Shen Jiu get away with murder and you KNOW Shen Jiu will murder Jin Guangshan like yesterday. So the whole canon is fucked the moment that Shen Jiu was forced to spend 5 mins with the perv and realized that he was going to have to regularly deal with this manipulative leech (aka at those regular conferences and more).

Now I can't say that Shen Jiu would be friends with the Wen clan but he can manage and understand them better than other sects. It's a sect full of either pompous spoiled rich brats (like his Qing Jing peak disciples) or talented street rats who clawed their way up from the streets into something powerful enough to get Wen Sect's attention and recruitment.

As for that whole "Yue Qi loves another woman" rumor, it actually stems from Wei Changze looking a lot like Shen Jiu's previous self, so Yue Qi kept Wei Changze close at hand until he met Yu Ziyuan (Shen Jiu). How can he say no to a mini Shen Jiu being around him now?

Shen Jiu is very much displeased with that because Wei Wuxian certainly doesn't act anything like him.

Guys go watch soulmate adventures they got Walmart qingge!!!

[nervousrunawaywitch]

I've been thinking, yes I do it some times it's suprising every time it happens, to me Shen Jiu/ Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan are Yu ZiYuan and Jiang Fengmian reincarnated.

I have proofs and arguments in the chaos of my mind but I'm too lazy to futher splain.

But mostly? Yu ZiYuan being herself, a bitchy bitter boss woman sometimes that tortures children because she can and has to many unresolved issues with herself and her man. Just like Shen Jiu.

And Jiang Fengmian is whipped and biased, standing always with his cancelled wife.

That's it, ladies and gentleman.

Yu Ziyuan x Madam Jin from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

Additional Propaganda Submission: Yu Ziyuan and Madam Jin were known to be extremely close, so much so they wanted their kids to get married. Yu Ziyuan ended up in fraught arranged marriage to Jiang Fengmian while Madam Jin's husband was always cheating on her. They definitely were doing something yuriful behind closed doors when their husbands weren't around

[navarice]

my dearest fellow mdzs stans, i really don't want to spoil anyone's fun but sometimes some things must be said. please do NOT mistake fanon characteristics for canon characteristics because by GOD is it frustrating to dissect a character when all anyone wants to do is blindly turn away from the very vivid and metastasizing flaws.

jiang cheng is an extremely complicated character, and that's why we love him. but by god, he is a jealous, self-victimizing asshole with a massive inferiority complex who likes to torture (probably) innocent look-a-likes of his (as far as he knew) dead adjacent family member. jesus christ this isn't some simple case of miscommunication (well it is but, you know no amount of communication will ever mend the giant chasm that developed between them. especially not with asians raised within the most classical case of asian parenting, i mean come on now) but a matter of deep and intense self-loathing developed since early childhood projecting violently outwards. let me be clear. he hates wei wuxian. he loathes him. he wants to kill him with his own hands again and again so some part of his convoluted sense of justice and superiority will be fulfilled. he's a classist, a bully, and abusive to everyone around him. ong at the end of mdzs, i was nearly crying tears of joy when jin guangyao flayed him flat on his ass bc that man needed to hear it. he needed to feel it. he needed to stop blaming others and blame himself.

and!! he's homophobic!! the entire cultivation world is, yes, but he's the only one we see give wei ying and lan zhan active shit for it!!

point is...his complexity makes him interesting. as a child, he was pretty alright tbh. he was understandably upset when three of his dogs got taken away and he saw his dad give a completely random kid such a gentle hug when jiang cheng never received one so far. he was a kid, and it was sad and helped the readers get a glimpse at the already dysfunctional family dynamics before wei ying came into the picture. as an adolescent/teen, yes he had a lot of unresolved rage and inferiority issues building up when he was constantly being compared to wei wuxian by his mother and not given enough reassurance from his father (once again, all present before wei ying...everyone just likes to dump the shit on him bc it's easier to point fingers at others than at yourself). perhaps he could have turned out differently if literally either of his parents stepped up and took accountability. however, after the burning of lotus pier? after the golden core transfer? after wei ying stuck around as his subordinate just as he promised, and protected jiang cheng like he promised, and defected just to save the yunmeng clan's reputation so jiang cheng doesn't have to put up with the other clan's shit, still continuing to keep his promise? after wei ying's death? idk abt y'all, but all bets are off bro.

mxtx makes it a point to make him so irredeemable. he's an exploration of what can go wrong if you let your traumas, self-hatred, and revenge fantasies blind you. he has the worst traits of his parents for a reason, directly contrasting with the other sibling, who is a perfect picture of eldest daughters born into a dysfunctional family. jiang yanli has the best traits of her parents (in terms of compassion and standing up for her family), but the family dynamics also made her the way she was. the responsible, the mediator, the occasional mother, stepping in where madam yu cannot.

there's just so much potential to hold him accountable buried under the pretense of misunderstandings and kinnie moments. he just had so many chances, more than any other character, to make a different choice. to actually look past his misgivings and unlearn the bad habits he used to protect himself as a child. i'm not saying he has to magically heal from all his traumas, but at the very least know not to be like his parents. but he wasn't written that way. because that is what happens when you give into your insecurities and generational trauma.

bottom line: jiang cheng is a fantastic archetype that needs to be explored in all his authenticity, including his moments of loyalty and cruelty.

[romanceyourdemons]

i see people act like the main point of liking fictional relationships is to witness or imagine their consummation (sexual or otherwise), but i love when consummation is an absolute impossibility. even when the characters fully understand how much each desires and needs the other, any move out this space of agonizing, unspoken, unacted-upon desire is such a fundamental betrayal of their identity that they are no more capable of it than of biting off their own hand, or grasping the glowing coil of a stove. no matter what, they will always just miss each other, and always be too late—they will not let themselves move until they’re safely sure of their tragic ending

[kukuandkookie]

I came across my SVSSS Xi Yang Yang AU again and I love the idea so much because it’s mashing two series I love together, but also it’s pretty…cringey. 😂

I know, I know; embrace the cringe and cringe culture is dead and all that… But it’s so random and I am still very much alive so can’t help it if I get embarrassed haha. I thought I’d share a “preview” of some of the designs anyway—at least before I can overthink it any further or regret it and delete it—but yeah!

SVSSS but as wolves and sheep. Specifically from Xi Yang Yang in the post-Mighty Little Defenders style. 🥺

I hope I can finally digitally finish all the designs I have someday so I can fully embrace and share the cringe with you all!

[ayingdidi]

I love to headcanon that Shen Jiu & Yue Qingyuan are the reincarnation of Madam Yu & Jiang Fenngmian, that they're reincarnated in this new life as a karmic retribution. In their first life Madam Yu liked to insult WWX for being the son of a servant, in this one she reincarnated as Shen Jiu who was a slave.

Also, Madam Yu abused WWX and JFM turned a blind eye to it, similar to how Shen Jiu abused LBH and YQY doing fuck all to stop it. Where WWX never acknowledged the abuse, and still respected them until the end, LBH on the other hand gave it back as good as he got. YQY was pierced with thousands of arrows for his inaction & enabling of SJ, and SJ's reputation was smeared to the hell and he died after experiencing inhumane torture at LBH's hand. It's so cathartic to imagine that they're the reincarnation of JFM and Madam Yu, bc that's exactly the kind of fate they deserved.

[chronomally]

Everyone's like "Wow, Yu Qinghuan is so lucky!" and it's like...is he? Objectively things have turned out well for him but he has not once wanted any of this shit to happen the only "lucky" thing to happen is meeting Huo Qu and even that depends on whether or not there have been any rumors or texts from Zhao Qingyuan

[tiredbitchposts]

Look, i know that Shen Yuan died a virgin and while he had no sexual experience he canonly kissed before getting with Luo Binghe, but do y'all know what would be hysterical in my opinion? If Shen Yuan had a gaggle of ex girlfriends he left behind when he died. Now, you may be wondering, what's so hysterical about that? Well, for one, it just tinkles me pink to think that the same guy who indirectly died from how angry a webnovel he dedicated a great amount of time commenting on made him actually got/could get bitches but decided that verbally abusing Airplane over his shit writting sounded more fun. I also think that knowing the system he'd at some point fall victim to some type of plant or curse that'd force him to name all of his ex lovers out loud unless he wished to die while the rest of the sect watches. Can y'all imagine Yue QingYuan, Luo Binghe, Liu Qingge and fucking Airplane's faces while he's there naming "Yu YaoYao, Mei Ling, Jiang Qin, Fei Liao" plus who else with a pained look on his face while trying to guess if middle school and internet relationships also count??? Plus, i just know he rationalized any lack of sexual thoughts he had towards his exes with "Well, i can't think sexually of a woman who's not my wife, that'd be disrespectful"

Introducing: The Which MXTX Character Was/Would Be Most Insufferable Online Tournament Bracket

Beginning the evening of August 23rd, 2024 (USA time), I’ll be running a tournament via tumblr polls to determine once and for all which Mo Xiang Tong Xiu web novel character was or would be most insufferable if given access to the internet.

FAQ:

Why this poll theme?

I thought it would be fun to run another big MXTX tournament bracket, since the bugpoll last year was a blast, and this was the funniest theme I could manage to think of.

Why isn't Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu in the bracket?

Given what we know about our dear Peerless Cucumber, I fear an SQQ sweep would be a foregone conclusion if I included him. Therefore, after the bracket finds a winner, I'll hold a bonus round and pit the winner against Shen Yuan to determine the true most internet-insufferable character.

What is wrong with you?

Yeah.

My goal is to hold one round per day every day for a week, but I'm contending with a full-time work schedule, so things may get slightly more stretched out than that. I'll also be splitting the first round into Round 1 Part 1 (the left side of the bracket) and Round 1 Part 2 (the right side of the bracket) to avoid spamming people's dashes with 32 separate polls in one day.

If you’d like to either search for or blacklist posts related to this event, all of mine will be tagged with “MXTX insufferapoll.”
