An idea I will need to flesh out more for a daemon AU:
Whatever injury someone suffers will leave a mark on their daemon too. Scars, tattoos, slave brands, you know, all kinds of things will appear on the hide of the daemon. With high enough cultivation it is possible to hide these marks on someone's body, but only the highest level cultivators can make them disappear from their daemon.
Shen Qingqiu is not nearly high enough in his cultivation to heal his daemon. So he hides it instead - people know that his daemon is a wolf, but it hardly ever appears in anybody's sight, capable of wandering at seemingly endless distances of its human.
Shen Yuan transmigrates from a world that didn't have daemons and the System isn't quite cruel enough to split his soul in half like that, so he gets placed in the body of a senior cultivator who has suffered grievous trauma and a severe qi deviation after he lost his daemon in a night hunt. Shen Yuan remembers this plot point in passing, a nameless Qing Jing hallmaster who had to leave the mountain because he never recovered. He eventually died seeking shelter in Huan Hua Palace, but only after confiding in the Old Palace Master that it was Shen Qingqiu who killed his daemon out of jealousy.
Shen Yuan has all the excuse to be a little weird and people are really worried about his well-being, but all that worrying gets stifling really fast, so he takes to wandering the bamboo forest to get a bit of peace and quiet. When he meets the scarred, silent wolf in the forest "oh that must be a daemon" is not his first or even his fifth thought. The beast is matted and skittish enough that after some thinking he concludes that is must be a neglected spiritual beast. Perhaps one that was left to roam the forest alone after his master died. He can't tell what kind of wolf beast it is though - he really wants to get close enough to puzzle out what the coat pattern is supposed to be under all those scars - so he keeps trying to follow and befriend the wolf.
He thinks it's going great. He got close enough to bemoan not having anything on hand to give the wolf a good brushing once! But then he is called to the bamboo house one evening and he thinks this is it, I'm going to be sent packing today.
Shen Qingqiu doesn't send him away. He gestures instead at the very familiar giant wolf sleeping on an old mattress and the grooming equipment laid out on a nearby table. "He said you wanted to brush him. No need to be shy now, shidi."

I think Twin Peaks and Gravity Falls fans should start romanticising Washington state and the Pacific Northwest as a whole like weebs did with Japan.
I say “romanticising”. I couldn’t think of any other word for it.

i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. that laura screams and kills Judy, that laura screams and she can ascend to the white lodge, where she belongs and will always belong. that she is happy, and safe, and will never have to scream again.
i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. that coop finds his way home, back to Harry, the two are synonymous. that they go for coffee and go fishing and can sit in the quiet of the lake , even only for a few months. that coop won’t mourn harry when he dies, but rather thank whomever he believes in that he got that time with harry.
i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. that audrey wakes from a dissociative episode and returns to twin peaks. that coop can tell her that the man she trusted, the only man, didn’t take advantage of her. that she can trust people. that her dad is a better person now.
i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. and even if you don’t, it’s a nice thought, isn’t it?
