#bro SQH is trying so hard

[incognito-lionbeast]

Shang Qinghua would be a huge Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao stan. send tweet

[phoenixcatch7]

We could make Sqq a transformer in his past life. Like optimus prime sorta transformer. Cybertronian.

He'd be the only surviving seeker (winged guy) on the autobots side (I don't know all the canons but I don't think they have, like, any). Pretty young when the war started - unfathomably ancient for humans, the kiddie of the group to them.

And he arrives on earth. Discovers the Internet. Immediately gets hooked on critiquing stupid Web novels in every language, which being a sentient machine he can do at great speed without forgetting anything. Decides to read the final chapter during a battle because he's so close to the end and airplane had better pull SOMETHING good. Is so infuriated (distracted) by the ending he messes up and immediately gets killed by some low level decepticon. After FIVE MILLION years of war he gets offed by some loser over a stupid human story that wasn't even very good. He dies SO furious.

And then he gets reborn a human.

He is, as the kids say, big mad.

How by Primus do they do anything??

crossover idea: scumbag system vs. anastasia

SQQ successfully completed his 'suicide', LBH is devastated and clutching his corpse, SQQ makes his 'escape' into the growing mushroom body... except SQH made a liiiitle mistake:

SQQ's new body didn't take 5 years to grow, no no. It only took like a month. But, maybe due to the rush, maybe due to the fertiliser, maybe because SQQ blew up his own golden core right before his 'death'...

SQQ lost his memories during the soul transfer.

So now Shen Yuan, a freshly deceased 20-something with no System found himself in the world of his most (loved)hated novel as some random NPC. After all, not like he could recognize his new face (face being a mix of SY and SQQ), neither does he have a not-so-friendly eldritch abomination / System in his head to tell him who he is. And upon first waking, he has crawled out of soil like some knock-off zombie with no personal belongings so no hints there either.

Shen Yuan assumes he's some random rogue cultivator and starts to make a life for himself.

Meanwhile...

Luo Binghe is slowly going crazy, losing himself to his mourning, as his underlings get more and more frantic because Sad Binghe has a tendency to spread his 'sadness' around and makes the demons bloody feel his displeasure, when Sha Hualing gets a wonderful, bright idea:

If her boss misses his Shizun so much, why don't they try to find a replacement for him? One that looks just like the dearly departed old man. Oops, that didn't work. But that's ok, let's find someone who looks and acts like the Lord of Qing Jing Peak.

Discount SQQ: "Binghe, it's me! Shen Qingqiu!"

Sha Hualing & Mobei-Jun: "..."

And then?

Then they stumble across unsuspecting SY who wandered into the demonic planes in search of fun(dangerous) critters whose sketch and description he can add to his growing bestiary.

And man, this guy might not look exactly like Shen Qingqiu, but he acts like him. So much that even even they start to sort of believe it might be his weird reincarnation or something. Even the family name is the same!

They have to bring this guy to Emperor Luo. Maybe this guy won't get killed on spot and their boss will freaking chill for a minute.

Cue Shang Qinghua nervously biting his nails in the background and wondering why his Bro doesn't recognize him, or anyone else.

Luo Binghe, after exchanging three sentences with 'discount sqq', doesn't quite believe it's his (amnesiac) Shizun, but decides to keep him around anyway as he rides hard on nostalgia train. He can always use this guy as a teething toy and body pillow as he waits for a hint on how to get to the Holy Mausoleum to resurrect his real Shizun.

And Shen Yuan? Wonders what sort of fresh hell this is and whether he fell into some weird PIDW fanfic instead of the original because why is the blackened protagonist hugging the scum villain's corpse and why tf is he gay??

Afternoon Delight by nuttinonice

It's hard for Wei Wuxian to catch his husband in a bad mood, but when he does, it's his mission to cheer him up again.

As Spring Will Surely Come by silver_sun

Now in their forth year of marriage Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are settled into their life together in the Cloud Recesses, looking forward to a quiet, cozy winter together in the Jingshi. A night hunt at a haunted water mill, old injuries and family illness make it a very difficult winter instead.

This Night Will Pass by Taer01

A night terror that felt all too real, picking at the scab wounds of Lan Wangji's heart in a horrifying way.

Wei Wuxian reassures his husband he is still there.

Does anyone even read work titles? idk what to call this by Nighttdust

"Why did I marry you?" he asks and Wei Wuxian laughs awkwardly and touches his neck and his heart beats fast, fast, fast and his throat dries up and-

"Lan Zhan, what do you mean?"

"Why did I marry you?" Lan Zhan repeats and he sounds so honest, so confused and it breaks Wei Wuxians heart. Again and again and again. Breaks and shatters and comes together again and shatters and again, again, again.

or. After 6 years of marriage Lan Wangji falls out of love with Wei Wuxian

my bones into your bones by butterflylungs

He would pour every bit of his own energy into Lan Zhan’s body if it meant saving him, but that’s the thing: he doesn’t know if it will save him. Still, Wei Wuxian will drain himself dry for the chance, even if it would be very inconvenient if he died before making sure Lan Zhan will be okay.

What was supposed to be a regular night hunt leaves Lan Wangji mysteriously ill and Wei Wuxian scrambling to save his life.

a sort of bonding experience by airplanelanding (TheCourtSorcerer)

“You’re wrong about many things, I need more than that,” he said flippantly.

Shang Qinghua took on a vaguely offended expression and his mouth opened, as if to retort, before he slowly shut it again after a moment of thought. Shen Qingqiu smirked behind his book.

"Ignoring that,” Shang Qinghua finally opted to say, clearing his throat.

Luo Binghe gets himself and his husband in a bit of a predicament when Shen Qingqiu wakes to find him a cat one morning. Luckily, Shang Qinghua is always available for Shen Qingqiu to force help out of when something goes wrong.

Shen Qingqiu loves to travel with his sticky husband. The world of Proud Immortals Demon Way was full of wonders and monsters, and unfortunately, the rest of the Original Luo Binghe's many wives.

Luo Binghe pays these women no mind, especially with Shen Qingqiu by his side, but with one, his eyes begin to linger, and Shen Qingqiu takes matters into his own hands.

Shen Qingqiu will seduce his husband, and teach him a lesson.

5 Ways to make your Shizun pay attention to you! (Do not try at home, it doesn't work) by Shireyaki

Too bad he didn't know it yet.

(Shizun would say no.)

Hush darling, it's you that I love. by Ramune7655

SQQ's body gets de-aged on a monster hunt, to his distress. To save face, he leaves town with Binghe for a while, and of course, where there is not a sharp, elegant, and imposing adult SQQ beside Binghe, he will inevitably be swarmed with women.... Not a problem. Binghe is loyal, and he has no interest in others anyway. SQQ doesn't mind. That's right; he doesn't care at all....

(When Binghe's jealousy and insecurity accidentally caused SQQ's jealousy)

In Sickness and in Health by TheCaptinofSirius

In which Shen Yuan gets sick. He begins to worry that The System has somehow dragged his illness into this world. Binghe helps put his mind at ease.

Post canon, Luo Binghe plans the perfect date: delicious food, beautiful scenery, and a rare Abyssal monster.

Little did he know that The System was also planning a celebration.

Can Shen Qingqiu avert disaster?

a separate homeward way by Miss_TeaDDK

"Luo Binghe has a dream that takes him to a black, shallow lake. Just as he starts to think he's alone, different versions of his husband start rising from the water and staring at him one by one, each body showing a different cause of death. As he hears these bodies calling for him, he starts having more and more trouble trying to return to the waking world."

When Shen Qingqiu is caught offhandedly expressing a longing for his unknown past, Luo Binghe fears that perhaps his Husband still does not consider him part of the home and future he himself has always dreamt of.

Husband to the Rescue by SheiraScar

Shen Qingqiu was assigned to an emergency mission to Haian city, a city with no cultivator and a huge trauma of demons. However, his-demon-lord-husband insisted on coming along. Ever so weak to his tears, Shen Qingqiu finally agreed. When things took unexpected turn and Luo Binghe was in danger, would Shen Qingqiu come to rescue him?

Lessons in possession by some_hag

But in the night time...

Oh, in the night time his face changes completely. His warmth turns into smoldering hot flames and sweet words are dripping with sin, he’s beautiful and blasphemous in a way that makes Shen Qingqiu’s face burn. (Shen Qingqiu tries not to think about it too often, but it’s just so much, too much, one does not simply push away vivid whole-body memories like that.)

Breaking The System by justkillthetitan

Luo Binghe wants to find his beloved Shizun.

lavender honey by forestsongs

"Binghe was so good to him, he thought. As caring and attentive as always, putting up with Shen Qingqiu’s fussy moods. Sometimes, Shen Qingqiu felt almost bad. Most of the time, it was Binghe touching him first, Binghe using his honeyed words to coax him into bed, Binghe taking place between his opened legs. What did he even get out of it?

It was unfair!"

or; Shen Qingqiu tries to be a good husband.

I can't say no when you look at me like this by Speechless_since_1998

“Shizun, no,” Binghe sighed wearily, while Shen Qingqiu held a demonic beast large enough to crush a child's head with its paw.

“But look at it, Binghe. It's a puppy!” he told him, showing him that horror in black fur and red eyes, which wagged its tail happily.

It must be said that, if he too were an animal, he would be more than happy to be in Shizun's arms. But that wasn't the point.

The demon said, “That is a hell tiger. It's not a puppy."

(In which Shen Qingqiu has a little too much fascination with monsters and the like and Luo Binghe can't resist her husband's puppy eyes.)

Can't Sleep Without Your Warmth Next To Me by HiyoriTomioka

For a while now, Shen Qingqiu had been wondering whether Luo Binghe would have fallen in love with him if he still looked like Shen Yuan, like his original body.

i will wait for you by toaster_mommy

It was just a normal morning.

The night before went the same as usual, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian holding each other as they drifted to sleep. Nothing out of the ordinary.

They braided each other's hair before going to sleep, hopefully to eliminate wasted time in the morning spent brushing each other's hair.

Nothing new, nothing different. Just a normal day. That’s why Hua Cheng spent the majority of his morning watching his husband sleep.

He watched his beloved’s chest rise and fall. He caressed Xie Lian’s pretty face as he slept, thankful his husband was a heavy sleeper when they laid next to one another.

He was so entranced by his husband's beauty he didn’t even notice the absence of a certain piece of cloth over his non-existent eye.

Or

Hua Cheng isn’t as sure of himself as he looks, and truly is just a coward that hides behind an eyepatch.

But his Gege is there to prove him wrong.

Why Worry When You Love Me? by Edward_The_Vampire

Xie Lian thinks about how lang waited so long for him and his devotion starts to feel unworthy. A new god ascends and is upset he is no longer pure and “princely” which makes him feel useless and unworthy of ruling the heavens as well. He forgets the day and ends up having a mental breakdown where Hua Cheng comforts him.

Watch the two lovers as they navigate their forbidden romance, and a war that threatens to sever them apart.

Unfold My Desire by nuttinonice

When a new god ascends, he's shocked to find that the pure and virginal Dianxia he once worshipped is now the very much sexually active husband of a demonic ghost king. Xie Lian deals with the fall out of being shamed for the sexual confidence he's worked so hard to build.

Alternatively, Xie Lian struggles to kickstart his slut era.

transfer my tragedy by nobirdstofly

Hua Cheng has had centuries to worship him, to show his devotion, but to see it reflected in Xie Lian’s eyes is staggering. Like this, Xie Lian is a barely leashed guard dog. A beast that smiles up at Hua Cheng with all the love in the three realms and blood in his teeth.

Xie Lian will do anything to protect Hua Cheng, and Hua Cheng can't help but be into that.

like sailors swimming in the sound of it, dashed to pieces by namelessflower

"Don't ever leave me again," Xie Lian whispers against Hua Cheng's lips, fists clenched in Hua Cheng's robe, voice quivering.

“I will never leave you,” Hua Cheng answers fiercely, with the ardent devotion of a lover, the unyielding conviction of a believer. “I will never, ever leave your side again, Dianxia, I swear it. Believe me.”

After Xie Lian has a nightmare about losing Hua Cheng for good, Hua Cheng holds him until he is able to fall asleep again.

Can’t Be Alone by Gigglemite

Hua Cheng has a bad morning. Xie Lian is more than willing to spend all day in bed cuddling his husband until he feels like he can get up.

nobody else but me by nikkiRA (Added in Later)

Often, if people were to stare, it would be at Hua Cheng (Xie Lian couldn't blame anyone for it—he understood). But today, perhaps amplified by the high quality clothes he was wearing, Xie Lian's beauty was shining through for everyone to see. And everyone did see; whether Xie Lian had noticed or not, people were staring.

Hua Cheng had certainly noticed.

come back to me by miska_kuura. (Added in Later)

When Hua Cheng catches a cold, Xie Lian is naturally worried and determined to take care of his husband. This time, however, it turns out some fever dreams can end up being a nightmare for both of them.

Poison and Flame by DAY_DREAM

Buried feelings are brought to light when Mu Qing gets injured by a mysterious creature. Can love find its way through a vicious curse? Will it get burned by a flame of awakening desire?

Make Me Forget Myself by Gigglemite

“Tell me,” Feng Xin urged, the worry in his gut only building in intensity the longer he stares at such an emotionally raw Mu Qing. “Tell me what you need.”

Mu Qing’s eyes only opened wider at those words, more tears welling up. He couldn’t speak, he could barely even move from the position he had lodged himself into before going stock still.

“Mu Qing,” Feng Xin had to forcefully swallow down the words that almost spilled off the tip of his tongue. Saying, ‘I would give you anything you ask for’, probably would not go over too well in this situation. “What happened?”

“Am I unloveable?”

Do you guys know those modern bingyuan au's where shen yuan sees modern lbh and just stalks him because he looks identical to his blobo luo binghe from PIDW?

Sooo imagine a cumplane au where shen yuan see Airplane in a convention running to do some odd job there and sy is just dumbfounded how almost identical that random is to luo binghe (at least how he imagines him)

Now that random ofc has alot of diferences to how lbh is mostly depicted, first of all the random is fully human so no demon features, the guy instead of being tall and lean with some muscle he is a shorty (he is not short he is 172/5'8 he is avarege) that is kinda chubby and his hair is not abyss black but a shitty dyed brown hair and him being a normal human he has very prominent eye bags and some acne scars but besides those diferences he was basicly identical to how lbh was depicted in his fanarts even having some of his headcannons that ware extremely unpopular on the fandom! (Frackles) he wasn't as scary as the beloved cruel demon emperor but he had hit all the boxes to be the perfect luo binghe in his white lotus era! And like any normal pidw fan he just really wanted to protect and take care of him

And like any normal person he really tried to find him but it was really hard to stalk someone when you didn't even got the name of the person, frustrated he decided to do the next best thing and just decided to take care of airplane, it's the best next thing right?

Airplane after getting the weirdest and shadiest dm from one of his haters, perless cucumber, to be his roommate and in exchange he would have to write "actually good chapters" and since if he died he wouldn't have to pay any bills, he accepted this offer

After they decided to meet at a random Café shen yuan has a closet gay crises over airplane being the white lotus binghe clone and airplane has a gay crises over his biggest hater being almost his type (especially cucumber-bro being a tsundere and airplane being a big masochist) and then they settle being weird roommates together!

This au would basicly be shen yuan trying to be a good bro and being a bunch of red flags but luckily for him Airplane bro favorite color since he is lbh og source and the au is a comedy so it's okay to be creepy lol

Also footnote, airplanes name in this fic wouldn’t be shang qinghua (because I enjoy the idea of sqh being very diferent then irl Airplane in appearance and name) his name would be

洛冬快 Aka: Luo DongKuai because I wanted to mix shang qinghua's name logic with Luo binghe's lol (with 冬 dong meaning winter, and 快 kuai meaning speed, this is what my limited Chinese could come up with lol)

Also other footnote because I noticed a weird trend of country's with low fertility rates just decide to just put babies in brazilian woman and because I am brazilian, Airplane bro is part brazilian by his mom's side! I just think it's neat!

[thestormthatrises]

Y'all, you ever just get assaulted by the idea of how devasting it would be for the rest of the world if SQH actually took care of himself, three meals a day and 8 hours of sleep sorta deal? How minds would be blown?

Because like, I have this headcanon that every peak lord has a different kind of beauty, yeah? Like SQQ has this very cold, ethereal beauty. And LQG has this very sharp, intimidating beauty. YQY has this very warm, confident beauty, beautiful big bro beauty. WQW has this rugged and debonair sort of beauty and so on and so forth.

And SQH, underneath all of the stress and sleepless nights, is the most adorable, endearing, cute person in the world. He's that cute that makes people go feral, like honest to God cute aggression.

So can you guys imagine like, let's say that SQH has a minor but very acute qi deviation because of how hard he works, yeah? It's not SJ level but enough for MQF to put his foot down and whisk his shixiong away to his peak and very politely forcing him to be taken care of So SQH can't do anything but rest, eat well, take some sun for that good vitamin d for his depression and chill.

(MQF has some close calls with SQH, of course. Some disciples that need their Shizun back. Some demons that don't understand they can't just teleport in and Try to steal his shixiong away. But because MQF has had plenty of training with SQQ and LBH, he perseveres)

Queue a couple of weeks later and SQH is getting some weird ass looks and doesn't understand why! Is there something on his face? He looks at his reflection more often His cheeks are rounder and pinkish but they look clean enough. Was it because he put on weight? His clothes aren't hanging off of him anymore... But MQF said it was a good thing.

Was it his hair? He thought it looked good. With nothing to do for all those weeks, he had thought That he had managed the bird's nest he had been saddled with. MQF and his head disciple had said it looked nice... Were they lying?

Look as he might, he can't find stuff that's too wrong with his face. So why are people staring at him like that?

....

And not just staring. They're acting weird too!

Like! Like! He went to talk to LQG about his peak going over the budget and the man looked like he would kill him. And then! When he finally managed to get his shidi to agree in keeping the costs down, he smiled, thankfully And LQG punched the table between them, breaking it in half! Like WTF, bro!

He thought they were cool now, after SQQ married Bīnghé!

Guess he was wrong...

Speaking of his son! He was weird too!

SQH'S body had decided to betray him after so many years. Just because he had shown weakness.

He couldn't go three hours without food anymore. Real food too! His adored melon seeds did nothing for the growling beast in his stomach.

Such a traitor! Didn't his body know he had a job to do? Aiya!

So imagine his embarrassment! His shame! When waiting for a weird acting Cucumber bro, his stomach growled noisely near LBH! WTF!

SQH looked down, apologetic, cheeks red with shame, and askes to be forgiven by Junshang.

The look LBH gave him was so deadly that he thought his days were numbered. But when Airplane thought LBH was going to give him the final strike, he merely got up and left his Shishu to wait alone.

Normal right?!

But then! When he was talking to SQQ, who was a lot More bitchy than usual, LBH brought snacks for his beloved. Usual, right?! NO!

For the first time in his life, LBH placed some of the plates in front of SQH! And two cups for the same pot of tea! Bīnghé usually made two pots of tea for them, one with the really good stuff for SQQ and one so and so for SQH!

And people might think he was insane! I mean, maybe the table was small, right? He had to place the snacks for Shizun near the other peak lord because there was no room but NO! There was so much room!

And to top it all off, after. While of just drinking tea, LBH asked why wasn't he eating??? WTF!!

He looked helplessly to SQQ but the traitor just arched a brow at him. Was this some sort of game? Was the food poison??

"Eat, shidi"

SQH had lived a... Life, right?

It wasn't the best life but it had been a life. Who knew it would end like this?

SQH ate the food. It was delicious. The soft exterior of the bun melted in his mouth giving way to the savory meat inside. It was the best food he ever had. It was heaven.

Ok.

He could die for this.

But as he happily ate, he must've done something! Because SQQ struck his head with the guard of his fan, waking him up from his bliss.

"What was that for?" He asked, heartbroken.

But Cucumber didn't answer. He merely grumbled about his stupid face and to just eat and shut up.

Weird, right??

And then he had been getting these-- things! They looked like gifts from his martial siblings but-- but that did not make any sense! They never, ever given him anything but work.

And at first he thought they were normal, yeah? He thought, for example, when WQW had given him a Very beautiful and blessed dagger that he wanted more of the ore that made it and told him he would see what he could do. When he managed to find the budget for it and purchase the ore,his shixiong had the nerve to ask him why he bought it!

SQH showed him the dagger and WQW had the gall to laugh at him and told him to keep it. Like it was a gift or something??

WTF??

But worst of all! Worst than all this weird crazy nonsense, was his king!

If MBJ had been needy, demanding, and spoiled before, it was nothing compared to now.

Now, MBJ demanded his full attention when they talked, looking him dead in the eye like he was trying to pick out a lie. Or when they sat, he pulled SQH to his lap like he was going to run away. Or get made when those weird not-gifts started to pile up in his house.

He had the sneaking suspicion that his king broke some of them too.

Aiya!

And because SQH'S body was a traitor now, not only did it need food like all of the time, it needed sleep too! He was now falling asleep on his king's lap all the time. So rude!

He tried to get MQF to deal with this weirdness but his shidi only said that it was normal.

And then patted his head! Like... Like--like he was a kitten or something!

WTF?!

[hayateart]

I am working on the last part of my Moshang fancomic. Nice, right? I was supposed to start working on an original idea after but:

What if Shang Qinghua really wants to continue writing. He loved it after all. He still does. But he is too afraid that whatever he writes next will become real too and he will destroy peoples' lives again.

When SQH dies by accident he is reborn as same character again, except as an adult this time and in the original timeline of PIDW, soon before his character is killed. He realises there is no Cucumber-bro there, Bing-ge is the unforgiving black lotus he wrote the first time and his king is only one misstep away from killing him. SQH realises he is royally screwed by his own narrative and it might be too late to try and save himself now. Is there even a point? Maybe he should let history run its course. After all, he wrote and and he can only blame himself for that.

Shang Qinghua takes the option to go home before he and Mobei make up, and is replaced by the original goods. Mobei does not understand why SQH changed so much when he finds him. He is hurt and confused and blames himself. Only Shen Qingqiu knows the truth but he cannot reveal it to comfort Mobei in any way.

Mobei dies. Shang Qinghua could not prevent it, but he can fix it, right? Shen Qingqiu came back to life, one way or another like three times. Of course Qinghua can bring his king back! But the obvious ways don't work, and Qinghua tries the sketchy ones. Ones he knows are not safe. He does not care what his bro thinks. He will bring his king back one way or another even if it means damning himself and the entire world. LBH and SQQ need to stop him, and it's hard to do so when the one you want to outsmart is the author himself.

Guys, why is it all angst?

I really wanted to move on to an original story. I have 6 solid ideas, and at least 3 of them have complete plots and twists already planned out. Why won't fandom life let me go?

[tcfactory]

imagine the horror sy would feel when he gets to see the aftermath of sqh meeting mbj. he was nervous and jumpy before, now hes terrified. theres bruises and breaks and black eyes that he desperately tries to play off as being clumsy. sj is paranoid and scared and yq is broken and traumatised. he gets to see the first flinch from "a-lou". he gets to see the flinch and sweat when someone asks to see yq's sword. they're all so scared. and he was content to just watch.

(Continuation from here)

The situation with Shang Qinghua is even worse once all of this crashes and burns, because it starts when Sang Qinghua is still a disciple and Shen Yuan is a peak lord. He's around for that, he could have prevented it from happening, but he didn't. He was really harsh on 'villainous, 0 IQ canon fodder', so when he sees that his An Ding shidi's new head disciple is a nervous wreck clearly hiding bruises and injuries, he simply thinks

"Oh, so that's the sect traitor. Must be really shit at both of his jobs to get beat up even by Mobei-jun, hah! No wonder he will be killed eventually. Serves you right, sucker."

and moves on with his day. Because why should he care about this shitty little backstabbing NPC? He treats this experience like one of those studio tours, where you can walk through all the set pieces and look at all the costumes laid out all nice before they start filming a show. Nothing here matters, the Plot will come and he has nothing to do with it (was Shen Qingqiu's shizun even named in PIDW? He doesn't remember, so probably not.), so why should he step in and change things? What if he messes with the set pieces (like chases Mobei-jun off) and it changes things. Like Mobei-jun never sets off the attack against the Immortal Alliance Conference and Luo Binghe never gets unsealed? No, better not meddle.

That, of course, comes back to haunt him when he realizes that all of these people around him are actually people. The detachment coming from his cultivation, age and the System's framing of the world as 'expanding on lore' really made him forget that he's not the only person in this setting. In the case of Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu he was ignorant, but in the case of Shang Qinghua he willingly looked away.

Shen Yuan ascends and as god of secrets he suddenly has extremely detailed insight into what all these people are trying to keep the most hidden about themselves - their fear, their pain, their shitty horrible backstories WTF Airplane-bro - and at that point he can't pretend anymore that they are all just the equivalent of papier-mâché trees.

And it really seems to be fear that makes this abusive cycle go around. Mobei-jun is afraid that his family will kill him (as they are actively trying to do) and Shang Qinghua is too good to be true, so he hits him. Shang Qinghua is terrified that Mobei-jun is going to hit him too hard in one of his fits and he never wakes up again. Fear, fear, fear everywhere.

Except for Luo Binghe. Luo Binghe, even as a child, is not afraid of the abuse or his shitty shizun. He's confused, disappointed, unhappy, but all of that is going to distill into hatred and resentment - and that's when Shen Yuan knows that he has to do something, he has to step in, because none of his scared beasts stand a chance against the thing festering behind Luo Binghe's angelic little face. He's the Protagonist and he's going to revisit every slight upon them a thousandfold.

Shen Yuan, who now has an intimate understanding of their emotional states and motivations (despite very much not wanting any of that, System, he just wanted to watch the Plot from somewhere safe!) doesn't want that. He doesn't want more pain and he doesn't want Luo Binghe to succumb to the hate and madness that's already starting to take root in him. He deserves better.

They all deserve better. And if he was too self-absorbed and stupid to prevent it, then all is left to do is try and salvage what he can.

Lucky for him, there's a lot of wiggle room in 'ascended master has foreseen a horrible calamity and descended to try and prevent it' so he has a lot of rope to work with, but it's going to be a difficult thing to set things right.

He has to stay as Shen Qingqiu too, no, System, he's not arguing about that, do something so Shen Jiu can't come back to his position right away (initiating: teen devil Jiu scenario - he's going to be fifteen and those not in the know will fully think Shen Qingqiu just separated into his good and his horrible attributes during his deviation, but his shitty self is somehow younger) and he has to do a good job of being a caring Shizun this time around. He has to be the one who steps in and stops the abuse.

All the while the people he's trying to protect the most are looking at him with fear and suspicion, because he sure as hell wasn't a reliable, trustworthy adult before, so trying to do it now when it looks like he has essentially stolen Shen Qingqiu's body during a qi-deviation so he could insert himself into the situation easier is... not a good look. At all.

He would have lived the rest of his life happier if he never had to see Shen Jiu break down crying because after how hard he worked and fought for his position and cultivation, his fucking deadbeat shizun descended and stole it all from him for the sake of convenience. His body is the same state it was when he first joined the sect and he doesn't care about Shen Yuan's awkward suggestions about plants and whatever to fix his wonky foundation, he will have to do all his breakthroughs and everything all over again and it's just too much. Part of the meltdown is definitely the body, with its teenage hormones and the mood-destabilizing effects of demonic cultivation still in his system, but he's not wrong. Shen Yuan has jumped into this, once again, without considering how any of the other people in the scenario feel and he destroyed whatever minuscule amount of trust Shen Jiu had in him.

Keep up the good work, host! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

[modern day #cumplane roleplaying PIDW]

okay, but what if Airplane enjoyed doing rp about his own novel? usually staring mobei-jun. It's annoying when people say he's ooc (he created the damn character!!).

Then he meets this person who plays platonic luo binghe only. and damn! he is pretty good at it, pretty in character, better than all the other people who tried doing so and couldn't grasp the essence of who lbh was supposed to be.

And so they roleplay in a totally platonic setting, just two bros demons going around the place making quests.

sometimes they nearly enter ooc territory but never quite, it's got to a point where the rp is simply too good to really care if the other one is a bit ooc sometimes.

It's all fun and thing until the to rp slowly turn less sfw.

involuntarily, they turn that rp into a BL, which is not necessarily something Shen Yuan wanted but hey, it is better than his binghe getting another wife. Plus it's totally not gay if the one attracted is /the character/ and not him. him getting hard in more steamy moments is not him not being straight 😤 it's him emulating what lbh would feel like.

although sometimes it is hard to say whether the way his roleplay partner is writing is really meant for lbh or for him (but he assumes it's just his imagination, they are two straight bro enjoying some rp).

I imagine airplane figuring out this cool roleplayer is actually his biggest critic by following sides conversation they have, especially when new chapters drop and sy leak some of his opinions.

there is a confrontation no long before they died, where they truly reveal who they are.

not imagine when they are living in a PIDW that is totally different from before, just hanging out with their husband only for Shang Qinghua to quote one of their replies. His memory may be bad after so long in here, but he still remembers.

it has Shen Qingqiu laughing as he quotes back a replied, often since they were inside jokes from the rp.

This leaves them sometimes laughing uncontrollably, sqq trying to hide against sqh with his fan trying to hide himself, leaving their husbands extremely confused.

maybe cumplane can start doing rp again, or try to rope their husbands into it too

!!! i think its interesting that u read sqq as autistic!! i identify with him very much, [tho in the last 7 or 8 years ive managed to overcome my internalized homophobia (mostly?)] and i usually can easily point at a character i identify with and go "ah, you have adhd!" but (i should rlly reread the novel) i dont recall doing that for sy/sqq very much if at all during the story. just wondering why u hc him more as autistic than adhd (or maybe hes both idk?)

Hi!

I think my main reasons for headcanoning him as autistic is it is repeatedly stated that he obsessed with monsters to the point that he basically a walking talking monster manual which feels like a special interest to me and despite being able to mask pretty well when playing the part of Shen Qingqiu he really cannot read social situations at all and never understands what anyone else is thinking or feeling

He mostly gets by and endears himself to others by virtue of

being nicer than the original goods

frantically bullshitting (largely by relying on how he thinks he should act as SQQ)

So yeah he just comes across as very autistic to me.

Interestingly enough I hc think SQH as adhd and autistic because always moving and always talking and because he used to write like stupid amount of words a day and when we see him interact with anyone other then Cucumber Bro or Mobei he's very much holding himself back and trying to coast socially by being inoffensively pleasent but instead earns disgust and mistrust because people see him as weird....which I admit is also me projecting my autism at SQH hard

Anyway hope that answers the question :)

[chaoticgoodlawyerwrites]

I've held off due to the general strike but now here's the tumblr preview for the final chapter of HSY! (Yes, last chapter because I thought this concluded the story better than what I had originally planned.) This chapter is under 7k words, so the next update will be the full chapter.

---------

Don’t get him wrong; he was happy to be married and that Binghe was happy and in love with him and… he really wanted to sleep. 

He had rallied for their wedding night, anxious over his own appearance and wanting Binghe for himself in any case. But the night was certainly abbreviated by his own limitations. While Luo Binghe did his best to pamper and care for him, nothing he could have done would help Shen Qingqiu. 

And thus he did his best to hide it from him. 

While he missed his husbands, Shen Qingqiu slept like a rock the night before in Shang Qinghua’s preparation chambers, not even aware of Bingdi attempting to talk to him if he had tried. Somehow, the exhaustion was decreased but still there as Shen Qingqiu carefully painted Mobei-Jun’s huadian on Shang Qinghua’s forehead in wedding red, though he had charmed this particular blend to turn to blue with spiritual energy. 

“Bro, you good?” Shang Qinghua asked, tone subdued.

“Yes, why do you ask?”

“Well, you’re quiet. And you haven’t even attempted to insult me in like twenty-four hours. I’m kinda worried about you?”

Shen Qingqiu paused in his careful work and looked at his friend. Shang Qinghua was chewing at his lip (thankfully only the inner part because if he had stained his teeth red so help him…!!!) and wringing his hands. His friend really was concerned when Shen Qingqiu was the last thing Shang Qinghua should be thinking about.

He sighed and cut his eyes to the side of the room where an imperial guard was standing sentry. “I’ve had a tiring few days,” he said.

SQQ: bro I’m 2 months pregnant. I’m tired and trying not to act like it.

SQH: ooooohhhhh my bad

SQQ: don’t worry about it

“If you say so,” Shang Qinghua said aloud. “Do you think everything is well out there?”

“I do. I also think it doesn’t matter if there’s a hiccup because Mobei-Jun is marrying you no matter what today. You’ve both waited long enough.”

“Haha, yeah. I guess we have.” Shang Qinghua looked off to the side and that made Shen Qingqiu hesitate in returning to their preparations.

They were running out of time for this, but they would wait for the bride. Not sure how long, in Mobei-Jun’s case, but everyone else would sit tight.

“You okay?”

“Yes! I’m very happy! Just…” Shang Qinghua sighed. “You know, before? I never thought I would get married and now I’m. I’m lucky my King loves me so.”

“Are you worried he’s going to change his mind with the Original?” Shen Qingqiu asked in English, getting to the point.

“No, but I worry that he should, you know?” Shang Qinghua responded. “He’s been hurt, so hurt, but understanding. We’ve been talking as much as he can stand, really. I’m doing my best to reassure him, but the reality won’t ever not be the truth. I’m marrying another version of him and it’s not like my arm is being twisted, is it? I just think he deserves better, but he chooses me and I’m so grateful that he does.”

“I get it,” Shen Qingqiu reassured him, because fuck, how could he not. “But guilt is useless and you both made your choices. Don’t let your guilt get in the way of your happiness, especially not when it compromises his happiness as well.”

Shang Qinghua narrowed his eyes at him. “And where was this attitude, oh, a year ago?”

Shen Qingqiu sighed, “Mu-shidi works hard. Once I was able to be completely honest with him, that was pretty much the first thing he told me. I’m working on believing that myself, but just because it’s difficult doesn’t make it true.”

His friend stared for a minute then gave a long, low whistle. “I know he doesn’t get paid like elsewhere, but give that man a raise.”

“He does deserve a sabbatical.”

“Not like he’ll take it for like. A while.” Shang Qinghua flicked his eyes down to Shen Qingqiu’s stomach and back up. Shen Qingqiu had no response but to sigh and finish touching up the makeup. “Hey, do you think he takes couples?” 

“I think he would need to start prescribing himself if he did,” Shen Qingqiu said dryly and Shang Qinghua couldn’t help laughing. “Don’t move, dumbass.”

“Gods, can you imagine? He has his hands full with you. I think a peek into your husband’s mind would have the man running away screaming.”

“He’s not an actual psychologist, you know,” Shen Qingqiu said, not denying the idea. It was a miracle that either Luo Binghe was functional and relatively sane. “I was kinda taken on by necessity.”

“Necessity, he says. Bro, we’re remembering things differently.”

“Whatever. Stop deflecting and stay still so I can put this veil on you.”

[dokidreaming]

SQQ for the character thing! Hope your day gets better ;;;

🥺❤ thank you I hope so too fhfhjd I get to talk about sqq now which is great tho ☺

• favorite thing about them

He's funny as hell. He's just SO funny I love reading sv because of him, like he'll have something horrific happen to him and then a few pages later he'll fall over laughing because Six Balls. he has the range, he has the power, sv would be so miserable and sad if we had any other perspective but since we have sqq we instead get a story that's funny haha on the outside crispy edges and is filled with a nice gooey centre of messed-upedness

• least favorite thing about them

That thing he does when he represses really hard and dissociates, using very bad coping mechanisms that hurt the people around him, like during the Abyss scene 🥴 BUT that said- all of his communication issues aren't necessarily fixed by the end of the novel but he's trying his best so I'll give him the props for that.

• favorite line

This is so hard 🥲

The always classic "This master will accompany you" line is a very big contender, but another part that always sticks in my head is less a line and more of his petty mean boy attitude when Binghe orders him not to take another step in the dream realm and sqq immediately turns and walks 10 steps away. God I love him

• brOTP

The only characters he bros around with are lqg and sqh, so one of them. Sqh is great because he gets to be sqq's chew toy and lqg is great because he gets to be the uptight emergency contact who gets asked if he's ever "cultivated" with someone else right to his face

• OTP

Bingqiu. That's a given (BUT pair him with basically any man in the novel and I'll give u a thumbs up)

• nOTP

I don't really think I have one 🤔 the only characters I can't really see with him would be like NYY (or any of the PIDW wives tbh) but I've never seen that content anyways?

• random headcanon

he definitely had his first kiss with a guy, I subscribe to the sick SY agenda, and I think he's probably got adhd

also an idea I wish I was explored more (less a hc an just a Fun Idea) I think trans sqq. trans masc specifically but any queer~ identities happening is good

• unpopular opinion

I'm sure it's possible to have unpopular opinions about him... I think this is general consensus now but apparently it wasn't always so I'll say it here: sqq is absolutely just as obsessed with binghe as binghe is with him. That's why they're soulmates <3

• song i associate with them

I am terrible at associating music with characters fhdjsj so instead I will simply post a song I like

• favorite picture of them

I'll choose from canon content because if I had to pick from fanart i would never be able to decide - it's a tie between the wedding art

AND that part in the donghua when he says "shidi~" (this counts I promise)

[hey-hamlet]

SVSSS AU Idea: The System’s hand of fate.

so, when a mysterious figure rocks up to you as you lay dying and offers you an alternative? you take it, not totally convinced they are even real. if you are one shen yuan, this will prove to be the worse choice you have ever made in your short life.

shen yuan dies aged 21 of a sudden onset aortic disection due to pre-existing EDS. he codes blue suddenly durring his hospital stay and they never get him back. he leaves behind his family, fellow students, and a small subsection of the internet that is much quieter now he's gone

his role is deciptively simple: hes a hand of the system - a hand of fate. if the plot diviates, hes sent in to the world to patch it up. sadly, worlds tend to deviate towards happiness, or at least contentment. a world of consant suffering goes against the trends of the universe. so shen yuan is sent in again and again to direct the plots back towards disaster

why? why doesn't he just give up?

the system is holding his whole world hostage

every mistake, someone from his home world simply stops existing, wiped from all records and history, picked randomly from his social circle.  the only people he's ever lost, he keeps close to his chest. 2 people he only knew by username. one barrista who knew his order at his favourite cafe.

his little sister.

when their hand of fate stops caring, burns out of their empathy and stop caring about the threat, the system gets a new worker and starts again. thats why shen yuan is so effective, he can't stop caring on pain of death. so they can just keep using him

our plot twist is that the system isnt actually killing anyone. they lie, they dont actually have that sort of power. If they did they wouldnt need to send someone in to fix plot diversions.

yeah its designed by someone who just enjoys seeing people suffer. also people are a lot better at fixing plot lines than AI because they have a better understanding of human emotion and the nuances of story telling

anyway, for our poor mans happy ending - he gets sent to PIDW

the plot had deviated badly - the main villain for the first act is dead, and shen yuan had such a perfect record they just cast him into the role

because the system isn't human, it never noticed that shen yuan's only failures were due to his kindness, and that throwing him into the role of a scum villain for his favourite character was literally never going to work. Hes tried to fight against the system before, but its only ever gotten his little sister ‘killed’, so he didnt try twice.

introducing: a boy in a book written so predictably his plot armour and protaganist halo are literally blinding: LUO BINGHE

baby works out his new shizun is a whole ass new person quickly, because not only is shizun now kind but pretending to be stern, hes also just. worn down. in a way thats difficult to explain.

like hes seen 1000 lifetimes and been happy in none of them

then the dream demon shows up and is like "ok kid i know you love ur master and thats fair enough but like. there is an extra-dimentional parasite attached to his soul"

and binghe is like I FUCKING KNEW IT so he trains very hard! so he can become strong enough to kick its ass!

and then his shizun pushes him into the abyss

and hes heart broken, not because he was pushed, but because his shizun tried so hard not to. his shizun tried to take a lethal blow, tried not do go along with the plot. but then something forced his hand and sent binghe tumbling. even though the system wasn't observing this world, they threw in an override if the plot deviation threaterned to go above 70% - an AI following the plot takes over and corrects the mistake

and when xin mo shows up hes like "oh. i can finally die - i hope it makes binghe happy"

and then he wakes up 5 years later and SQH is like "Oh hey i planted you a body incase binghe tried to kill you bc were transmigrator bros" and he just has a whole ass break down

he thought he was free!!!

and he cant even be that mad at SQH, the man was trying to save his life

anyway SQH is like 

"so! binghe has been like. obsessed with ur body. and its behind some really weird arrays"

"what sort of arrays?"

"protection against spirits from other dimensions? it was weird and it looked custom made"

"oh."

to wrap it up: shen yuan wants to get his body back so he can rip it into little pieces so nothing can revive him and then die, lbh lets SY 'trick him' into thinking hes a rouge cultivator trying to pay his respects even though hes like "ITS SHIZUN HES BACK" and then the mausoleum rips his soul away and hes like "please just let me DIE" and TLJ is like "Oh hey! someone wrote -" "god please can you kill me and shatter my soul i cant do this any more" "... would you like to have a chat. talk your emotions out. my nephew can make snacks."

TLJ is like "damn that's rough I'm literally half a body rn but I think while I'm literally that way you're spiritually that way"

SY: I'm supposed to be dismembered if you could start on that that'd be great

TLJ: I don't have hands

plot gets resolved by SY telling TLJ that the system was controlling the plot of the whole world, driving it towards problems for the 'sake of the story', expecting to be killed but wanting someone to know whats been going on other than him

TLJ is like ",,, huh. someone. decided it all should go like this." "yeah your wife died saving her child and trying to reach you to warn you of the ambush" "So. Someone. Decided. It. Should. Be. This. Way."

 and then TLJ crushes the whole concept of a system with xin mo

and LBH is like " look i kinda hate that you were originally going to murder my (future husband) shizun, but you murdered the thing he was both most afraid of and most angry at, so i guess i can call you my dad. maybe. on a good day."

TLJ is like "SON : D"

twitter fill prompts (7)

Moshang + meet cute + handholding

MBJ walks through the crowd, annoyed. The venue is awfully full of people and their body heat. He hates it, even more now that he ks dressed as a secondary character from the PIDW videogame. The wig makes his head itchy, and wearing a green hoodie over his costume makes him sweat.

He doesn't even like green but the vendor had nothing else his size.

Huffing, with strands of his long dark haired wig falling over his shoulders, he pushes through the crowd.

"There you are!", a hand, warm and small in comparison, suddenly grabs his wrist, "I've been looking for you, bro! Why did you let me alone back there? Aah, I hate taking so many photos, I wanted to buy merch!", a guy, cute and small, pouts his lips, frowning. "Come, you owe me some coffee! And I want photos at Huan Hua's entrance!", he's suddenly holding hands with this stranger, being pulled from the crowd and to the gates of the venue.

He should pull away, and in any other situation, he surely would do it. But... he's cute. In a long haired wig and dressed as the traitor villain that betrayed his own character, chattering about what he bought and what he wanted to buy after getting coffee and something to eat... He's clearly mistaking him for a friend, and MBJ can't help but worry about him.

Is he blind or stupid?

"Giving me the cold shoulder again, bro? Sheesh, sorry I was late, I know you wanted to see that show, but you know how hard is to put on my contacts! I hate touching my eyes", he shivers, pulling him closer as they walk outside the venue.

MBJ says nothing, surprised as this guy's talking, at him pointing at buildings and parks along the way, creating stories about the people that might have lived in there. It's mesmerizing and he finds himself captivated by his rants.

The more he sees him, the more he wants to stay next to him, at least for a little while longer.

"Let's get something to eat first, all right? I'm starving and you owe me!", they get inside a coffee shop, small, intimate. The barista lifts an eyebrow but says nothing as the cute cosplayer next to him starts reciting their orders. MBJ really hopes it isn't for a boyfriend. Though calling him 'bro' should be enough to lift that suspicion. "Iced coffee and a chocolate muffin for Shang Qinghua and Blackberry Iced tea and uhm.. banana muffin for Shen Yuan", he orders, stepping back so MBJ can pay. He says nothing and easily pays for their orders, trying to guess which order is meant for the guy currently sitting on a table by the window, fixing his wig.

"Here's the order," MBJ takes the tray and walks over their table, unsure of which he's meant to eat. He hopes it's the chocolate one.

"Ah, thank you, thank you, uhm, I thought you'd be bitching about coming so far just for our coffees, but you've been really nice today, bro."

MBJ barely hums, noticing the way, SQH or SY's gaze falters, how he winces a little. Ah, he must need glasses then.

"Fine, don't talk to me! I can talk for the both of us and there's nothing you can do about it," he smiles, radiant under the setting sun. If he keeps smiling like this, MBJ has no trouble listening for an entire day. "Let's eat!", and it's then confirmed that this guy's name is Shang Qinghua. With his iced coffee (bitter) and chocolate muffin (sweet), leaving him with tea and banana muffin. The muffin is fine, but he doesn't like the tea. It's not sweet or creamy.

"Odd, I thought you were still obsessed over that tea... mhm want to share my coffee?", he offers, smile plastered on his face. The more MBJ sees him, the more intrigued he becomes. Cute. And dangerously blind and naive.

No, he doesn't want to drink that coffee. Absolutely not.

But he nods and leans in, tasting the bitter flavour in his mouth.

He listens to SQH, eating his muffin, stealing a few pieces of SQH's when he's not looking (well, when he turns around), and sharing that bitter coffee. It's nice. Nicer than any meal he's ever gone to.

__

"Come on, let's take some photos at Huan Hua! They'll light up the gardens in like... uhm, well, soon! Come on, come on!", for someone who clearly can't see a thing, not even the clock on his phone, SQH knows his way like the palm of his hand. MBJ follows, interlocking his fingers with SQH's, enjoying their joined hands. He should tell him the truth soon, before he sees the photos next morning and realizes his mistake with fright.

He should, but it's nice to walk beside him, holding his hand. "Ah! Right on time! Come, come! We need a bunch of photos of our scum villains!", he laughs, running up to an archway full of peonies. He hates Huan Hua since he got lost there when he was six, but walkimg around with SQH turns the place into a mythical land. Beautiful as the guy he can't let go.

"Ok, I have my stick somewhere here...", he starts rummaging through his bag. Make up, ribbons, a couple of manhuas... it's a mess inside that bag, and yet he seems to carry everything he needs. Including his glasses.

MBJ freezes as SQH's hand brushes the case. He should come clean and stop this from going further, he knows. But...he doesn't want to. So he takes the stick and hits SQH's shoulder (lightly).

"Ah! There it is, haha. Come, let's take some photos!"

He ends up plastered against SQH, hugging him when it's clear they both can't fit in the shot. SQH huffs, annoyed.

"Bro, how come we barely fit? Since when are you so muscled?", he asks, pouting, trying to decipher what went wrong.

He should tell him.

Instead, he leans over a railing and sits SQH on his lap. "Take the photo", he says.

And SQH freezes.

It was a mistake.

SQH looks at him, grey lenses giving way to a warmer and darker eye color.

"Who are you?", he asks, free hand rummaging again through his bag. MBJ sighs, finding the glasses first, slowly  carefully, sliding them over SQH's nose. Even more cute.

"Mobei Jun", he says, trying his best not to look like a creep.

And SQH blushes.

"Ah... no wonder you felt different, hehe... ah..." embarrassed and cute. "I'm sorry I mistook you for my friend! But you should've said something! Why didn't you?", and yet he remains on his lap, blushing hard.

"I guess I liked you", he smirks.

And the blushing intensifies.

"What kind of answer is that?", he looks away, comfortable.

"The truth," he takes SQH's phone, "Sorry I didn't tell you."

"You don't seem sorry to me!"

"Mn. I'm not. Neither are you," he states, lookong at him.

SQH scoffs, but doesn't deny it

"Let's take your photos. We'll get dinner afterwards".

"Uhm.. fine. But you pay!", he smiles, leaning on him and looking at the camera. "Oh, you're Ice King? Huh, is this like a ship photo then?", SQH points at his own costume, Spymaster. A non-official ship in the PIDW game.

"It is. Take the photo."

"Ok, my king!",  if MBJ likes the nickname, SQH doesn't need to know it yet. Maybe later, maybe after a few proper dates.

When the camera flashes, he kisses SQH's cheek.

All Prompts

cucumberplane headcanon #2

shang qinghua edition :

shang qinghua is a hard kpop stan. he accidentally saw SNSD i got a boy on tv. it left an impression. but THEN he saw exo growl, he willingly jumped into the kpop void

so what if he broke his bones when trying to learn growl dance

eventually he got better at dancing, but somehow he ended up being a master at girl group dance

the fact that shang qinghua could do ryujin iconic shoulder dance in wannabe made shen qingqiu respected him

this is a secret from cucumber bro, but shang qinghua once perform Gashina in front of mobei jun. he couldn't leave the bed for a week.

obviously sqh enjoy being mauled (read : very rough explicit sex with an ice popsicle courtesy of mbj) so he perform miniskirt by aoa (completed with the fuckin miniskirt, sqh was crazy and horny). he didn't even get halfway before mbj transport them to the bedroom, this time he was in bed for 2 weeks. no matter how judgemental cucumber bro's stare got, it was worth it

sqh once danced solo (by jeannie) to annoy sqq. lbh almost strangled him bc he thought sqh was seducing his precious shizun with a scandalous dance. sqh bullshit his way and said he was teaching sqq a sexy dance to 'surprise' lbh. sqh almost died the second time courtesy of sqq's fan

the next time sqh visited, sqq couldn't even get up from the bed (who knows a little kpop dance in ancient china could get someone mauled by a demon king? sqh definitely knew but he's not telling)

somehow someway, when sqh offer to teach sqq some dance moves, he agreed. (when asked why, sqq would just blush)

(newsflash : turns out they both enjoy kinky rough sex)

sqh is an exo-l and his bias is d.o

he liked all girl group equally bc their dance were interesting

when there is fire he would shout "FIYAHHHHHHHHHHH" (sqq slap him with his fan, "aren't you an exo fan?! why do you shout bts song?!" "but broooo it's iconic, that's why")

he also sings pretty savage (by blackpink) just to annoy sqq, his favorite lines is "if you mad stay mad we not alike, S A V A G E KEEP IT PRETTY PRETTY SAVAGE" "SHUDDUP AIRPLANE")

"sarangul hetaaa uriga manaa" this time sqq joins in bc once upon a time love scenario ruled the world. their duets is legendary in qing jing peak, even tho no one can understand what they are singing about.

whenever sqq critiques sqh's novel, he went "NOT SHY NOT ME"

believe it or not he memorize song lyrics and dance move and practices it religiously, even when he was just a disciple

he requested an empty room with one wall of just mirror. mbj was confused but for his dear qinghua ofc he will do it. mbj favourite time is now watching sqh practices dance moves, he tried very hard to not drag sqh to their bedroom every time the dance got a little sexy. he succeed most of the time bc sqh was Very Serious in his dancing business

but mbj almost got a heart attack the first time sqh show up in the dance room with black legging
