AROSPEC LINGYI WHO DECIDE TO GET QUEER PLATONICALLY MARRIED

big fan of arospec lingyi who are no strings attached friends w benefits who realize the other is also aro and when their families/elders/whoever push them to get married, they look at each other and end up being like "okay yeah sure we'll marry alright"

then BOOM

they get married, to each other, bc no one said WHO they should get married to

fooling the jianghu one qpr at a time

shang qinghua who becomes uncannily good friends with everyone he meets. everyone thinks it’s super bizarre because this guy is always so anxious and overworked, not to mention secretive as fuck, and yet he’s super close to all the peak lords and shares inside jokes w them all. he hangs out with each and every single one of them all the time and as it turns out he has a shit ton in common with them and they all think he’s funny as fuck. and it’s not only the peak lords but anyone else he meets too!!!! he even gets along w people like liu qingge and luo binghe!!!! people are absolutely stumped by this guy and think he has ulterior motives because no one is this charismatic and easy to get along with without even trying. there’s no way he actually has this much in common with everyone he meets

in reality shang qinghua is an author who transmigrated into his own novel and is super fucking stoked to be able to get to know all his characters on a personal level. he loves interacting w everyone and of course they’re all going to have something in common w him when he created them all and they all carry a part of him within themselves. he’s having the absolute time of his life playing with his ocs

🌀 everyone. please hear me out on sect leader jingyi.

this is actually inspired by a fic description i saw but have not read yet, so basically; post-canon jingyi who starts to doubt his position and purpose on the sect, but then the time finally comes were gusu lan starts noticing an absence of options for sect heir. although sizhui should be a good— if not perfect, choice, it's either 1) the elders are against a wen child taking over as SL + he's not a clan member by blood, or 2) sizhui doesn't wish to be anchored and become sect leader because he wants to explore the world outside cloud recesses.

automatically, hanguang-jun won't even be an option even though he has the rights as the sect leader's brother. but seriously who would think that hanguang-jun would even accept that role?

anyway.

so those are the hopefully reasonable excuses to make this AU work, and why sizhui will be unavailable for the position. and so, one night, a conflicted sizhui— and THOUGH there were two options, i already imagined that sizhui would be against taking the sect leader role from the start— opens up to jingyi about it and it gave jingyi an IDEA. full on ‘urethra! 😀☝️’ moment bro.

coming back to the ‘jingyi concerning his purpose on the sect’ and being lowkey insecure due to his UnLan–Lan™ reputation; jingyi had the most unbelievable thought.

‘i could be a sect leader for fun or something— i can volunteer on sizhui’s behalf. if i were to miraculously be accepted as sect heir/leader, sizhui could be free of responsibility and it could ease his burden. he won't be anchored to gusu lan. convincing the others to let him go and live like a rogue cultivator will be difficult, but hanguang-jun and zewu-jun can vouch for him. it won't be just for him, it would also be for me.’

and that’s where jingyi started PLOTTING. aaaannnddd i have no more other detailed thoughts about that.

i've been thinking about this for awhile now because i am such a sucker for jingyi and the jingyi-centered fics in ao3 are not enough and i need more thousands of them.

this is so serious to me guys i just found the concept BEAUTIFUL and although my heart wishes to write a fic about it, i’m too damn lazy and i don’t have the time and motivation for it 💔 i guess i'd just keep the epic scenes i made up in my mind for myself for now 🤸‍♀️

okay so remember when i said that i no more detailed thoughts after that? i lied. i have more. specifically during jingyi’s leadership. and maybe, MAYBE, this could be heavily ooc due to my bias and appreciation for jingyi. you are free to listen to more of my rants and thoughts about this!

(a hint of zhuiyi? platonic, romantic? up to you hehe.) anyway, i pictured that jingyi was in that phase wherein he’s experiencing an existential crisis when he became sect leader. although he probably shouldn't have taken such a vital role when he's still trying to figure things out, he couldn't resist and WANTED to do something for sizhui. sizhui had been such a responsible person for so long, and jingyi knows it's slowly taking a toll on him. as childhood friends, he had helped jingyi so much, and he wanted to pay him back by giving sizhui a choice, freedom.

yeah, jingyi's still such a mess and yet to set his own goals. and yet, he volunteered anyway. (and is such an act not already a motion worth of a sect leader?)

SO. i do not have a clear blueprint for the plot yet, and i'm struggling to write down my thoughts because there is so many! however, take note that:

jingyi does NOT half-ass work that he knows will have significant impact. ↓

even though first-time-leader jingyi has no experience or formal sect heir training, jingyi doesn't slack off to things that really matter.

he hates political/conference meetings though.

jingyi made sure he led with his heart and sense of justice and righteousness. with his wei-qianbei's stories about the jianghu and more detailed explainations about the reality of the sects and sect politics, jingyi is more open-minded and wishes to LEAD instead of control the people.

jingyi heard stories about his wei-qianbei's life in the streets and investigated deeper regarding the life of the strays and the beggars. safe to say that jingyi had established multiple orphanages along with a few certain sect leaders (ahem, jin ling and zizhen).

those orphanages gives chance for those who stayed and lived under it to discover and hone skills, which can be used to find jobs and works to provide opportunities. (safe to say that people—especially children— who grew under this orphanages are heavily grateful to jingyi)

jingyi is that type of sect leader who personally checks issues within his territory, no matter how major or minor— whenever he has time. it helps to form connections, improve reputation, and acquiring information personally. (it more than improves his reputation, everyone adores him. imagine xichen, but more genuine, sorry lan zhongzhu.)

have i mentioned that he developed polearm arts and voice cultivation along the way? maybe not, the roots of my polearm jingyi was during a fateful day when i thought about how hot and sexy raiden ei fought that one guy from the commission during her story quest and imagining jingyi perform it. that was it. it was the start of me thinking thoughts about jingyi using a long ranged weapon. and about the voice cultivation, ooh boy. i thought we all agreed jingyi would definitely be a voice cultivator? and i hc jingyi has a good singing voice so.

and. here's the last one. probably. how can i explain this clearly? basically, jingyi used a different method to implement and teach the sect's history and rules to the sect, in a way that he taught them to respect the rules, but not be heavily reliant for one's moral codes. he saw how the previous teachings affected hanguang-jun, he saw how the previous teachings affected zewu-jun. errrm, something something like, ‘acknowledging and respecting the ancestors' will and legacy, but do not let it be the main thing that will cause your doom’ OR WHATEVER. think about that time when cangse took revenge on qiren because he had prioritized following the rules that almost cost jiang fengmian and wei changze's life. jingyi could use an example like this, how sometimes there would be moments where you are forced to let go and break the rules, or when the time would come where not even the rules could help you with your choices. ↓

he modified the curriculum, handpicks and inspected the teachers' skills and capabilities; making sure they are all focused into developing and assisting the students' improvement. made sure they used effective teaching methods that won't bore them out yada yada. he personally thinks that there's nothing .. bad about their current methods. but there are areas for improvement. this will be good, for the students, and the sect.

ANYWAY. that is much about it?

i was looking for possible given names for jingyi and stumbled upon the name “shujin” and i had a silly idea.

i think it'd be funny if jingyi had a given name that sounded like or had “jin” on it so him and jin ling could tease tf out of each other by calling their names who sounded like “lan” and “jin”.

JL: “you can never beat me in archery, lan shujin.”

LJY: “maybe not, but you can't beat me in combat either, jin rulan.”

extra points if they ended up getting so used to calling each other that, it came to a point that hearing each other calling them other names weird + then hearing other people call them that is even WEIRDER. (the intimacy of calling each other by names others do not refer you)

personally if jingyi really were to have shujin as his given name, i can imagine that he grew up hating it because POSSIBLY people like to point out how his name doesn't suit him at all.

Lan Jingyi going up to talk to Jin Ling (who's standing there white-faced, robes sprayed with JGY's blood, still reeling from the traumatic events of this Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Night) before realizing that, right, his recently-found-out-to-be-evil uncle has just died horrifically, it's not the best time to bother him maybe — and thus turning to Lan Sizhui (who's getting blasted with the repressed memories of his politically-compromising true heritage and very tragic childhood, something that LJY is not privy to because he's just holding WWX's new flute and staring unblinking at it), so subsequently he goes, "You know what. I'm gonna go see if Zizhen is still around."

[solar-problem]

Oh cumplane, you make me laugh

[solar-problem]

thinking thinking of sect leader Lan Jingyi and sect leader Jin Rulan being awfully close, but forcing themselves to be indifferent in public just so they don't get compared to their predecessors (no one's buying it)

If you think about it

The junior quartet is insane

You have the last heir of a tyrannical sect that was exterminated due to its own leader's hubris and insanity whose uncle is a first of his kind conscious fierce corpse and whose dads are arguably the most powerful and also most embarrasingly in love people ever

A 15 year old rich ass brat with more uncles than any other relatives and just as many complexes and issues who suddenly has to be the wuxia version of a president before he ever got to see a titty

The son of a catty old sect leader who hung around cause he liked the vibes of the group

And Jingyi

Also I don't believe that Shang Qinghua avoids going to Mu Qingfang

He will have to be dragged if he is actually dying because he's certain if he ignores it long enough it will go away

But if he has a tummy ache from eating too many melon seeds he's on his Shidi's doorstep with big forlorn eyes that suggest that he is the littlest, saddest, orphan who newly escaped from the evil orphan factory. How could Shidi turn away such a sad little big eyed Shixiong? Suffering as he is with the horror of an ouchy tummy

SQH x TLJ

SQH goes to save LBH from the river and deliver him to TLJ, but TLJ immediately gets fascinated by this little man who broke him out of the seal. Although he believed SQH when he was told the truth of SXY betrayal, he also needed an excuse to keep this guy nearby.

TLJ: I'll take responsibility for getting you pregnant

SQH: W-wait? Huh! No, no, no. Are you listening? I said this child is between you and-

TLJ: *clearly pretending not to be listening* It must have been really hard for you to go through a pregnancy alone. Next time, I will take care of you.

SQH: Next time? I'm a guy! I have never been pregnant...

TLJ: *bullshitting his way through* Heavenly Demon are special...

SQH:*trying to remember if he made Heavenly Demons capable of that* Really?

That's how SQH got baby trapped with a baby that he technically created.

Peak Lord meeting

Yue Qing yuan: How about we switch our current piping system to lead pipes- they're much more malleable and sealed. It'd be a great investment.

Shang Qinghua, who barely passed science but does remember some stuff: Hmmm how about we don't.

Out on a mission

Qi Qingqi: And when did he begin to take a turn for the worse

Tearful wife: around the time his doctor prescribed him medicine for his illness

Shang Qinghua, squinting at the label on the bottle: does that say arsenic

Shang Qinghua, sidling up to Mu Qingfang: hey how attached are you to the use of mercury as a treatment for constipation.
