Summary:

When Luo Binghe does come back from the abyss, Shen Qingqiu realizes that his fantasies were nothing like reality.

reblog if you’re a sick fuck

[cosmic-starfall]

Hello!

This is the official blog for the 2025 TGCF fan event, “Yin Yu Appreciation Week!” The official date is July 6th-12th, and lasts 7 days. I will only host the event on Tumblr and will create a collection for AO3. You are welcome to post your own works on other platforms, but I am one person with a full-time job and can’t promise to run this event on Twitter too (also I have a personal gripe with Twitter anyway—don’t ask)

These are the tags I will suggest folks use for the event: #yinyuappreciation2025 and #yinyyuappreciationweek

We’ve gotten so repressed as a culture, at this rate nothing less than a whole new 1960s style “free your head” sexual revolution is going to help us.

Thinking once again about the parallels between Luo Binghe and Xie Lian.

-Princes

-Only children

-Fraught relationships with their dads

-Very distinctive cooking

-Mama's boys

-Fell in love with their no.1 ultimate fan

-Not good at friendships

-Extremely talented and hardworking

-Weird green cousin

-Complicated situationship with their swords

-Declared shredded by fandom

-Pissed off someone with considerable authority over their lives and destinies by unwittingly saying the exact wrong thing at the exact wrong time

-Drama queens

-Excellent combatants

-Just wanted to cultivate what the hell even happened

-The narrative's favorite guy (this is a bad thing)

Fandom stats: word count on AO3

significanceofmoths asked me if I’d analyzed how fandoms differ in terms of their word counts.  I haven’t broken it down by fandom, but I thought I’d do a quick summary of what I know about word count on AO3 in general (at least as of about a year ago).

When I did my initial survey of AO3 in May 2013, here’s what I found about word count:

Simplifying some of these categories:

about 36% of the fanworks on AO3 had <= 1000 words at that time (note that this includes most of the textless fanworks like fanart and podfics).  

about 45% had between 1K and 5K words

only about 18% of the fanworks have more than 5K words.

I also looked at single-chapter vs. multi-chapter fics around the same time. Please note: there are way more single chapter fanworks than multi-chapter – somewhere around 85% of fanworks are one chapter.  Comparing word count for these two different categories:

While it’s most common for single-chapter fic to have fewer than 1000 words, it’s actually most common for multi-chapter fic to have over 10K words.

That second analysis also shows that the longer the work, the more hits it tends to get.  But I haven’t yet dug deeper into this relationship (other than showing that length isn’t the only factor that matters – for instance, rating also affects hits and kudos).

So like, Qinghua has pretty open access to Mobei-Jun.

(Love that one post about sqh manhandling mbj and mbj just being all limp and obedient.)

But i was thinking, who else would Mbj trust as a taste tester? Im sure he has them, but thats still his fokd going through a lot of people's hands. So who else can he trust but the hamster? Also, SQH is always busy and forgets to eat. So win win, Sqh has to take a few bites of food and Mbj knows its safe to eat.

Years of this later, they're in like some important buisness style meeting. Qinghua is pacing around giving his report. There are demon lords all around. Mobei-Jun refuses to eat despite everyone else doing so. Qinghua is not thinking about anything except explaining the benefits of trade routes where you don't eat the traders. So as he walks by he casually steals a bite from MBJ's bowl. Then keeps walking. The nobels are HORRIFIED staring in shock while Mbj is pleased and immediately starts to eat.

Rotating an older river demon yqy picking up SJ and spending a year or two trying to get him ready to apply for CQMS.

SJ, of course, is paranoid that YQY is gonna eat him and then a little offended that that he isn’t even good enough to eat.

YQY is amused about how many demon-like qualities this kid has and thinks it’s endearing how much he hisses and spits without having any claws or teeth to back it up. SJ thinks it’s pathetic that yqy is so much of a failure of a demon that he can’t even find it in him to kill some half starved kid. He complains and curses, all while secretly pleased at finally having a full stomach and having a demon claw through his hair to put it in a neat braid every night.

SJ enters CQMS with an eclectic fighting style but a lot of practical experience with demons and a nearly useless amount of information about different river beds. As SJ starts to climb the steps he looks back one last time at YQY’s pleasantly smiling face and promises to become strong enough to be recognized by yqy as a proper threat some day.

YQY lingers around the city at the base of the mountain until the end of fall, occasionally seeing SJ when he descends the mountain to look for him. Eventually YQY has to idk hibernate or something and return to the river he used to live on, jokingly telling SJ that if they meet again, maybe he’ll be worth eating by then.

“As if I’d let you!”

When the last of the snow thaws, SJ waits at the base lf CQMS, disappointed when YQY doesn’t return.

In his third year at CQMS, a plain package is delivered to QJP, the characters for SJ carefully written by a clumsy hand. There is no letter inside, only a perfectly polished grey stone with a low thrum of demonic qi. When SJ prods at it with his own qi, a cooling sensation spreads from the top of his head to his the tip of his toes. It brings to mind the countless summer days SJ spent sun burned, complaining of the heat, while yqy sunned on a warm rock or sandy river bank. If he closes his eyes, he could almost picture YQY’s toothy grin right before biting into a raw fish.

Demons don’t experience time in the same way as humans, YQY’s gifts coming sporadically over several years. A knife made from some creature’s bone, a particularly strong rope, an ink stone with something that looks suspiciously like blood in the design’s crevices. A handful of trinkets that could be easily mistaken for garbage slowly accumulates in the qiankun pouch that SJ always carries on his person.

But still no sign of YQY.

Of course SJ looks for him.

He retraces their journey for to the sect, pouring over countless maps to stop at every river or stream. YQY had been already returning to his home when he found SJ, taking an extended detour to take him to a sect.

When thirteen years go by without a single gift or sight of the demon, SJ is reluctant to accept the possibility that his qi-ge might have met his fate at the end of some cultivator’s sword or in the jaws of another demon. The years have washed the details away, he had no way of knowing how strong YQY truly was, or the precise tilt of his lips when he smiled in the way to hide his teeth.

SJ thinks of his time with yqy often, to the point that when he sees a dirty boy digging a hole rubbing a stone tied to a string around his neck, he reacts immediately. The boy looks up at SJ confused, the flush on his cheeks slowly receding with the cooling effect of the stone. Curly hair tied back neatly into a tight braid. Well fed.

Good enough to eat, even.

“You there, what is your name?”

The boy bites his bottom lip, trying to discretely tuck his necklace into the collar of his tunic. Clumsily, he brings his fists up in greeting, looking up at SJ through curling lashes.

“This unworthy one is Luo Binghe, immortal master.”

An itch at the back of SQQ’s brain prompts him to ask, “Luo?”

“For the Luo River, sir.”
