Thinking about AU with Shen Yuan as Linguang Jun and when Luo Binghe arrives to take over North sees sliver fix Linguang and is like '...well I didn't think there was a anything left to awaken me but I stand corrected'

Luo Binghe constantly trying to woo Linguang who is completely oblivious.

Just Mobei Jun who keeps actually trying to kill Luo Binghe because 'stop trying to fuck my dad/uncle' it's like the always sunny meme 'did you fuck my dad Junshang?'

Bingge looking for kind shizun and stumbling upon this world like '....this works to'

Danny is a minor, so when someone tries to summon him, it auto-redirects to a parent. In unrelated news, batman hasnt taken off his suit in like three weeks because he started getting randomly summoned by people trying to reach the ghost king and he needs to protect his identity.

In the Middle of reading this I was gonna direct you to a post where Jack and Maddie get teleported instead because Danny is a minor but nah this is fucking hilarious.

Because like imagine the consequences of that.

People now think that Batman is the Ghost King.

How fucking terrified would the magic users of the JL be? How anyone who knows about ghosts would be? How any magic user period would be? People think this man is the literal demon of darkness and despair when he actually just can’t wait till his kid turns 18 so he doesn’t get teleported to bumfuck nowhere America for the nth time.

I adore all the AUs where Shen Yuan is a shixiong or about Binghe’s age but you know what the fandom is missing? Shidi Shen Yuan!

There are some stories where Shen Yuan is younger and Shen Jiu’s son, but I’m talking about a regular disciple Shen Yuan admitted to Qing Jing peak after Luo Binghe.

I just need tiny child Shen Yuan using the full force of his spite to feud with the strategist Peak Lord… only to actually win most of the time!

How could Shen Yuan possibly win against a paranoid sect strategist you might ask?

First, he could take full advantage of Shen Qingqiu’s complete disinterest in him, and his own disinterest in impressing Shen Qingqiu, to run rampant for quite a while before Shen Qingqiu catches on. He would seem to be just some stupid precocious child.

Second, I firmly believe Shen Yuan’s wifebeam, when directed at adults, could be an effective parentbeam. He could use all the little tidbits he has memorized about the other peak lords, the Qing Jing hall masters, the servants, and his fellow disciples, along with his genuine kindness and helpfulness (and a lack of Shen Qingqiu sabotage…at least to start with) to endear himself to a great many of them!

Third, he has the advantage of an adult’s brain in his child body, along with all sorts of knowledge nobody would reasonably suspect a child his age to have. Just because Shen Yuan has a giant blind spot regarding romantic intent and his importance to others, doesn’t mean he isn’t incredibly clever in many other ways, and fully capable of using the full force of that cleverness on Binghe’s behalf!

Fourth, Shen Qingqiu would have literally no clue what the kid was actually after. All that work just to make the life of Shen Qingqiu’s least favorite student a little bit better? Shen Qingqiu would never see it coming, and what is that if not the greatest weakness of all?

I just really want Shen Qingqiu, the man who starts feuds with children —including trying to murder one particular kid— to find out that his arch enemy is actually some other kid that he completely ignored. And the kid is winning via the secret tactics of “being nice” and “having no real ulterior motives (beyond the ‘being nice’ thing)”.

Also, Luo Binghe being protective of his little shidi who is somehow constantly getting himself in situations™. (It’s not Shen Yuan’s fault distraction is often his best ‘stop bullying Binghe’ technique).

No wonder LWJ immediately recognized WWX all UT took was one flirty line and LWJ was just "Ah yes my husband-not-husband WWX changed his face, at least he's mostly healthy now I can work with this."

I love how MXTX's first two books do not take long to show you what weirdos the main characters are. Shen Yuan was waiting his whole life to die and get transmigrated and judges other (fictional) characters for reacting to transmigration poorly. Wei Wuxian wakes up in the body of a deranged lunatic and he disguises himself by acting like a deranged lunatic and does not stop for the rest of the book

Xie Lian is a total weirdo too he's just better at hiding it

[insomniac-needs-a-fucking-nap]

On my list of top ten things I thought Shen Qingqiu would say: NOT THIS

Read the fic here!

[insomniac-needs-a-fucking-nap]

"Inappropriate Use May Result in Strange Side Effects" by @aceofdivinechlorophyll It's hysterical. After the last chapter, I can only assume Meng Mo has been building up a conspiracy board with all the weird info he's gathered about SQQ.

Add on

Danny: you are my future self, I know you as well as you know me!

Dan: Fuck off and accept your sister's point cause she's right the place we lived in was so unhealthy mentally, emotionally, and do I really have to mention physically?

Danny: I survived, point proven by your existance!

Dan:....

Dani:....

Dan, softly: Runt... do I really have to remind you that I went insane, and became a super villain that killed not just the old town but the justice league on top of the rest of the world and was actively working my way through the lantern corps. Not just the green ones, ALL OF THEM.

Danny, in a small voice befitting his 8 year old size and mental brain: ..... let me cope for a while longer.

Dan, even softer cause he knows danny better than the kid knows himself: Alright, but you will have to confront that fact someday or it will confront you. Remember how we first met?

Danny: yeah. Good thing we don't have actual bones or I think mine'd still be broken.

Dani: oh and then there's how we officially met!

Jason, to himself: wait aren't they twins?

Danny: why do all my selfves want to kill me on sight? I'm not suicidal!

Danny, Dani & Dan, who have the same humor: No, but you/I are/am already half dead!

Danny: The one downside to living with you two is that we all have the same humor.

If I may suggest something for a dcxdp prompt? Y'know the ideas where Dan and ellie get deaged so danny has to take care of them? That but Dan is the one taking care of danny and Dani. Add in Dan x Jason(no idea what their ship name is) Where the two kids are constantly brused and hurt in some way, and jason being upsetti spaghetti at these 2 8 year Olds constantly having and gaining bruises and other injuries so he stalks the kids home where he finds tired dad!Dan who opens the door for them sees the new injuries and the reopened ones and sighs heavily pointing further into the apartment and Jason hears the exchange:

Dan: you two do know the reason we can't afford anything nice is cause I spend so much restocking the med kit right?

Danny: that and the fact we're still illegal.

Dani: Still think it's bullshit that they got rid of the goons in white but not the actual laws.

Dan: yeah well with our way back home cut off, your crown going missing, and grams not answering any of my calls were stuck until something changes.

Dani: I mean there is that-

Dan: shit up, shut up, shut up. The revinant may be hot and may be making my old protecter instincts swoon, but no, we are not doing that.

Danny: coward.

Dan: dash, Kwan, Sam, Paulina, you have no room to speak twerp you just want someone who can and will manhandle you.

Danny: Like, you dont?

Dan: That's irrelevant

(I may have lost the point a little but like I crave more Dan x Jason either redeemed or still in their semi-mostly-villain eras)

I'm usually more Danny centric, but this Is really cute and I don't have anything to add to it ^^

Imagine you got bullied as a kid so to make up for that insecurity you became a super successful alpha male grindset influencer and then one day you got pushed into a portal and found yourself in an alternate universe where you're a malewife who married your old bully. That happened to Luo Bingge

[insomniac-needs-a-fucking-nap]

Shen Yuan is transmigration sillyputty. Observe.

AU where he transmigrates into a rogue cultivator? Love those. Demonic cultivator for some spice, secret cultivator, beast expert cultivator, and more!

Transmigrate into a no name desciple? It's good to expand on dynamics. Same age as the protagonist? His shidi? His shixong? Or is he among the Qing generation of disciples! Lots of options.

Into a pidw harem member? Why not? There's at least 300 of them, go nuts, make one up for kicks or pick a canonical name to play with! Canon's your oyster.

Into other existing characters? Of course, that just makes sense. Other peak lords, other cultivators, his students, whatever suits your fancy.

Into a random new npc somewhere in the world doing average stuff? We love the creativity. A young master, a scholar, sometimes a farmer.

Into a sword! Love it!! Xiu Ya, Xin Mo, or maybe he's a different artifact entirely!

Into a demon? Definitely, there's several. Noble demons, no name wife material demons, new never before seen kinds of demons.

Into a CAT!? WE GOT YOU. other animals too, but catzun is classic. Dragons are also up there.

Into a worm?!? We love him even as a worm.

Into a SYSTEM? IVE SEEN AT LEAST 2 OF THESE.

He's sillyputty. We throw him at transmigration concepts to see how he sticks.

I don't know in what context this could happen but SQQ and SQH playing Red Hands.

(That's that game, you know the one, where you put your hands out on your friend's hands and they try to slap you and once they succeed you swap? It has a million names)

The important part is that LBH and MBJ are there with them and at first have no idea what their humans are doing.

Does LBH maybe make a move to kill SQH when he first succeeds in slapping Shizun's hands? Maybe. But SQQ's hissed out, "Ssssssson of a bitch" stops him long enough for the humans to swap positions and for SQQ to start menacing.

Because I think a game of Red Hands between SQQ and SQH would be like, 90% psychological warfare and that it would get both their demon lords a little worked up.

"This is the scariest thing that's ever happened to me."

"Why so nervous Airplane? I haven't even.."

SQH flinches. SQQ's hands don't move.

"...Done anything to you yet."

"Yet."

"If you're so scared you could always surrender."

"And just let you hit me? No way-"

SQQ slaps his hands.

"Mmmmmmmotherfucker."

"Another round?"

"Oh absolutely you little shit."

I can’t believe I got this far into svsss and didn’t mention that the reveal of a second transmigrator happened when Shen Qingqiu, in order to sprint away from his own grief, looked another man in the face and said “Devil’s Sacrament” and not only was the other guy at the Devil’s Sacrament he was the the Devil himself.

More cumplanewar au thoughts (stealing the ship name idea from @thesadisticsiren):

-This throuple is like, two guys and their attack dog. At a glance it would seem like SQQ and SQH are the two guys and LQG is the attack dog, but it actually depends on the situation.

-SQQ is the attack dog for winning verbal arguments, and Shang Qinghua is unleashed when the best solution would be to just ruin some clan's big picture financial prospects for the next ten generations. Liu Qingge might stab you but the other two are more likely to make you wish someone had just stabbed you.

-Yue Qingyuan has mixed feelings about this whole situation, but standing on the outside and smiling sadly at this strange adult version of Xiao Jiu while he moves on with his life without him feeds his emotional masochism, so that's mostly what he goes with.

-Qi Qingqi did not know that men could have polycules. She thought this was mostly just something women did when they smartened up and realized that having sex with each other and locking their shitty husband out at night was a better way of coping with being in a harem than competing. Live and learn.

-Luo Binghe eventually joins Cang Qiong (despite numerous efforts to get him into some other sect) by climbing Bai Zhan Peak. SQQ and SQH start coming up with contingency plans for what to do if there's some sort of "kill his own shizun" mandate in effect and Liu Qingge bites it. This is useful stuff just in general, given that Liu Qingge is still just lousy with character death flags and also has literally made it his job to run headlong into dangerous situations.

-Shen Qingqiu still manages to die the most.

-Mu Qingfang doesn't know why these two specific martial brothers of his with like zero medical training keep coming to him with new miraculous methods for healing multiple amputations and heavy blood loss, but he is NOT complaining.

-Huan Hua Palace Master likes to make insinuating remarks about Cang Qiong's "famous fraternal love" between peak lords in a way that seems perfectly polite but also implies something seedy is going on. This doesn't work out well, mostly because it flies right over Liu Qingge's head, Shang Qinghua is just nodding along and feeding every scrap of HHP intel he gets to Mobei Jun, and Shen Qingqiu's roasting ability was forged in the fires of online comment sections, so pitting him against a tacky drama villain is like releasing a feral cat onto a small island that has only evolved flightless birds with no native predators.

-It actually does take them a while to start fucking. Mainly happens because of sex pollen the first time, of course, and then Shang Qinghua has to just be like "that was fun, let's do it again" so that Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu can yell at him about it until they calm down enough to agree.

-Liu Qingge keeps trying to get Officially Married, but Shang Qinghua doesn't want to do the paperwork (worries he's secretly the third wheel and they're going to want to get rid of him at some point), and Shen Qingqiu doesn't want to firm things up until after the plot has passed (thinks he might still get murdered and doesn't want to make things 'messy' if that happens).

-There is a persistent external impression that the shrewd & scheming SQQ and SQH have basically beguiled and bewildered Liu Qingge into their beds in order to exploit his potential and use his body. Shen Qingqiu tears this porn to shreds, Liu Qingge is reluctantly into it, and Shang Qinghua is just surprised to be cast as a top even though he's the shortest.

-Mobei Jun trying to figure out how to navigate human culture just well enough to get into the polycule but only to exclusively date Shang Qinghua is the lady with the math equations meme.

I originally created a site skin based on this aesthetic about 2.5 years ago, but it was frankly pretty broken in a lot of ways. As I was looking through my list of site skins, I remembered this one and decided to revive it and make it a little more usable.

If you like it or want to try it out, you can find the CSS code over here on github, along with instructions for how to copy/paste it into a skin for your own AO3 profile.

(as always when I attempt a site skin, if you find stuff that's broken, you can let me know and I'll try to un-break it)

its a pretty effective anti cheat system

[insomniac-needs-a-fucking-nap]

Oh fuck I forgot that applies to me when I don't just have the flu or covid or a stomach bug, but when I'm burnt out or have a migrane or anything that makes me feel horrible but not actively dying over

Kinda wild how most people generally recognize that the "too sick to go to school, too sick to watch tv/play games" mindset our parents had was bullshit but still impose essentially the exact same rules on disabled adults and scrutinize them for enjoying low-energy hobbies while being too fatigued or in pain to work a full time job (or any job at all)
