"It would be my pleasure to give you a proper tour and introduce you to everyone."

Here is my full illustration for @svsssbigbang for the fanfiction Night at Cang Qiong Museum by @adventure-waffles! An incredible Night at the Museum x Scum Villain AU! Don't hesitate to also check out the other two artists incredible pieces for this fanfiction: dustmeadowx and qiye!

And since I know that tumblr tends to destroy the quality of my illustrations, here are some close-ups under the cut:

Shoutout to Shen Yuan the only man who actually read porn for the plot

[readingandbooking]

Shen Yuan is very special to me bc he’s the type of person who would say “they would NOT fucking say that” to the person who is in fact, in the process of saying that. Binghe is out here trying to confess his love and Shen Yuan is slamming his hands into his ears and yelling ooc.

[deikshen]

Shen Yuan was a beta all his life so then, now, being the omega Shen Qingqiu who can no longer suppress his secondary gender by Without-a-cure, needs to learn to be an Omega.

The information in the books is damn unclear and it would not be right to go ask for help from disciples or brothels, so he just... Well, he knows that Shang Qinghua is a spy for the demons, and he knows that Mobei Jun is an Omega for his meta knowledge. So he decides to go and threaten Shang Qinghua's ass with exposing him with the other Peak Lords for treason unless he allows him to have private meetings with Mobei Jun.

(At some point, they both reveal themselves as transmigrants? Yes. But not at the beginning for more drama lol Shang Qinghua racking his brains over what the hell Shen Qingqiu the scum villain and HIS KING will talk about in private- )

So, in private meetings with Mobei Jun, Shen Qingqiu humiliates himself with a half-truth: he tells him that I had never experienced anything like omega (after all, the entire CQMS thinks Shen Qingqiu is a beta), and now with Without-a-cure he has stopped taking his suppressants because the damage they were doing to his health, so right now he doesn't know how to do omega basic things like nest, purr, scent, pack behavior...

Mobei Jun agrees to teach him all those omega things; in exchange, Shen Qingqiu will give him more information and those things that Shang Qinghua doesn't have access to, since Shen Qingqiu is, well, Peak Lord of the second most important peak. They make a half-hearted and reluctant agreement, but they are on the same page.

And Mobei Jun teaches him. He teaches him how to fix a nest and the different ways he can use it. How apply blankets properly for softness, or comfort, or space, depends on what suits him. Teaches him to scent with the necessary amount of pheromones on people, objects, pack gifts, puppy gifts- It is a different level for each situation, and it is very necessary that it be respected, because otherwise it could give the wrong message!!

It also teaches purring, different growls, the type of reactions these sounds would have in Alphas or other Omegas. Also what kind of fabrics or robes are more comfortable to wear closer to the heat, what herbs to avoid, what kinds of things might not help him, what types of foods to stock up on for those occasions.

There is a lot of monosyllabic talk, a lot of directions and teachings, and Mobei Jun is not really the type to talk a lot, but neither is Shen Qingqiu, so unless necessary, they won't say much that is not so very important. They drink tea (iced) and they always end their secret meetings by scenting their wrists. It's a habit. Mobei Jun's omega scent is clear like ginger-mint and somewhat spicy, but it doesn't smell demonic itself, then it can go unnoticed.

The change in Shen Qingqiu's Omega behavior is noticeable, not only among the now very spoiled puppy disciples, but among the Peak Lords. Mu Qingfang is glad that Shen Qingqiu is finally accepting being part of the pack, scenting them, giving them scented gifts for their own common spaces. Alphas and betas do not necessarily nest, but in their homes they often have things with the aromas of their packs, giving shape to their home.

There is only one notable difference. Mobei Jun, of course, has taught his omega knowledge biased by his demonic family teaching. So, Shen Qingqiu finds himself... biting.

He bites his disciples' cheeks, he bites their little hands when he comes to scent them. It is easier to give them little bites, so they will only laugh or blush.

He bites Liu Qingge's cheek, one day the Alpha gets really close to him sniffing the clear scent of Mobei Jun on him, asking who is. In defense of Shen Qingqiu, he became nervous!!! And Liu Qingge stepped away as if he had been set on fire, walking away like a penguin.

Randomly bites Mu Qingfang's hands when he is checking him out by Without-a-cure, little bites on his fingers, on his knuckles. Mu Qingfang blushes, steps back, and quickly notes down the reactions. Pff. As if it wasn't normal for Omegas to bite and lick their packs!! Now they will tell that Omegas should not court their Alphas by proving they can kill them in a fight only to decide not to! Of course Binghe's harem didn't work like that, but those were female Omegas! He was a male Omega, that would make the difference, wouldn't it?

So, just, Shen Qingqiu is there, gifting his packs with things with his scent, purring when some Alpha around him is stressed, biting hands, wrists, cheeks. He shamelessly sits close to anyone and drenches them with his scent. He's much more tactile with everyone. He makes comfortable public-nesting spaces in gardens where he invites his youngest disciples (and Binghe, because how could he deprive Binghe of those experiences?! The poor boy is always hungry for affection, hugs, pats and bites more than any other disciple) to snuggle with him while purring and playing some music, just as Mobei Jun had explained that Omegas did with their pups so they could relax after long days-

(The other Peak Lords don't know if Shen Qingqiu has gone mad or is trying to court them all. They also don't want to risk asking and ruining whatever's going on.)

(Amidst all this, and instinctively, both Mobei Jun and Shen Qingqiu begin to see and feel like a pack. They give each other scented blankets, their scents are in their respective nests. There are new jewels among Shen Qingqiu's hair accessories, and new necklaces hanging over Mobei Jun's open necklines. They are a pack. Family of some strange and accidentally acquired kind. Even Shen Qingqiu relaxes in Mobei Jun's nest once while waiting for him due to an urgency among the rebellious demons - which almost causes Shang Qinghua to almost have a qi deviation when he sees him, comfortable in his king's nest just reading.)

(At some point, Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu reveal themselves to be transmigrants- and Shang Qinghua is laughing his fucking shit off, because now he has the explanation of everything, and he's definitely not going to tell him that the normal omega mode of demons is the omega-courtship-family mode of humans. Nope. He'll let Cucumber-bro figure it out for himself.)

How to make your company and team learn better

The secrets of building a learning organization Imagine a company that can constantly improve itself by learning from its own experience and feedback. Kaizen, or continuous improvement, is the key to a learning company. This vision can be achieved by any company, no matter how far along they are in adopting Lean, a management philosophy that focuses on eliminating waste and increasing…

[red-garden]

Realistically in a Liushen scenario, both of their faces are too thin to ever ask for sex. LQG assumes SY would tell him if he wanted anything to happen in plain words, and he’s content to wait for however long that takes. SY’s solution to this is poising himself over and over with fuck or die plants because he’s insane.

mingling memeing for today 🥰

[jade-len]

please help i just had a dream where svsss was a dating sim. so, of course i tried pursuing shen qingqiu, but it ultimately backfired because suddenly he realized that he was in a dating visual novel?? and since i put myself as a guy, he just refused to show up to special in game events to avoid me interacting with him???

and obviously i was like "wtf why isn't he here?" when he didn't show up. then at some point i explored the area, and the screen suddenly zoomed in to show sqq talking to sqh (supposedly telling him all about the little situation). next thing i know, both of them are slowly turning their head to stare at the screen in pure and utter terror

also in some part of the dream, i think i did some liu qingge events or something and as his affection levels rose, he would continuously jump scare me by popping up out of nowhere and go, "its not like i like you or anything!!" while covered in blood and holding out a demonic beast head as if it were a box of treats

anyways, totally random question guys haha if i made an svsss visual novel dating sim would you guys play it. no reason in particular at all.

[kamoteqeater]

Imagine the whiplash that sqq must have had when he woke up as a xianxia character with 3 feet of hair. Most of sy's design in the modern world have him with regular short hair and suddenly he has to deal with a 3 hour haircare routine alongside the actual plot.

Sqq about to throw lbh into the abyss but his hair gets in his eyes and blinds him, causing him to trip and both of them fall in thr abyss

Meanwhile sqh figures out how to put his hair in a bun and is living his life normally

[thesadisticsiren]

This came to me in a dream last night and it feels very fitting considering.

AU in which Shen Yuan transmigrates into PIDW, post abyss, as a regular unnamed npc. Could be either human or a demon. The important thing is he has minimal cultivation, just enough qi to know he has it. His health has not been blessed by its benefits; he's still blind as a bat without his glasses. And he doesn't have his glasses now. Fuck!

His system was NO fucking help, dropping him off with a cheery Good Luck User! ╰(￣ω￣ｏ) and immediately vanishing, the piece of shit.

So if he wants glasses, he needs money, probably. Glasses in this time are probably expensive, right? so he needs work. But what can he do when he can't see? all he has is his himself, the clothes on his back, and an extensive knowledge of the world he's been dropped into. And the lives of it's major players, to a degree.

(He'd know more if airplane hadn't skimped on the lore for more papapa. He isn't going to pretend he isn't bitter.)

But while contemplating what to do, he's run into by a girl who wasn't looking where she was going. After calming down her apologies with a head-pat and reassurances, he learns her name. And he remembers her! This is one of Bingge's future wives! He remembers that she's upset about her father being ill and not being able to afford the medicine he needs. In PIDW, she ends up marrying Binghe in exchange for his help finding the rare herb needed to cure him.

Shen Yuan remembers where that is too! And this poor dear is so upset, of course he tells her everything he knows about it. He'll even go there with her, it wasn't dangerous, only hard to find. Between his knowledge and her working eyes, they could do this!

She's so grateful for his help, she insist on giving him the money she'd been saving for this very thing. Shen Yuan barely did anything! If anything, he accidentally snatched an easy wife out of Binghe's hands! Oops! But this worked out so well, and theres so many chapters of PIDW that he can remember that it might be worth continuing to help the characters out of their troubles. It's less work for Binghe! He's just being helpful!

SO! He starts working as a seer and prophet, telling important figures that come to see him about the futures he foresees for them based on context clues and what he can remember from the book. For those he can't remember, he still remembers so much world building from the book that he offers advice without revealing what he did or didn't see. His approval rates rise rapidly with the accurate predictions and useful information.

The money he's offered for his service is more than enough to afford glasses, fortunately, but at this point people are expecting a blind prophet. So he saves his new wondrous glasses for reading horrible novels instead. he starts wearing a veil when he works, to keep his identity mysterious too. People like that kind of thing from their prophets, he thinks.

People just like to talk about how bewitching the seer is, with their gorgeous eyes. They're blunt but kind about the things they see, for the most part. Sometimes they'll smack you gently with the stick they use to see the floor when they walk, and several demons be having fantasties about it.

At first, he's merely working out of an old abandoned shack, but before long, he's got a small staff and a much nicer house. People, demons and humans alike, travel from all over the combined realms to hear from him. Both are welcome, he insists.

So you KNOW Bingge is gonna hear about this rising star of a seer who can read the future like a novel that's still being written before his eyes, and knows so much about the world that he could not feasibly have ever experienced. He's GOTTA check this guy out.

Maybe he can even help Bingge find that other Kind Shizun he'd been keeping an eye out for.

what if i wrote a “shen yuan transmigrates into a wife” oneshot but the whole premise is based on the song “gone, i’m gone” from hadestown and its overall theme is wanderlust and freedom and it starts out as Shen Yuan settling into life in the palace and trying to avoid harem drama and thinking he can just live with his head down for the rest of his new life, only to be hit with a sudden intense yearning to explore his new world the likes he’s never felt before. What if he was sickly in his last life. What if he spent his entire last life indoors. Trapped between four walls. What if love is not a gilded cage. What if he begins clawing at the walls of his enclosure, desperate to escape because he wants to live, god please let him live. He can’t do this again. What if he spent months preparing for his escape and in that same breath getting the attention of some of the other wives around him because he has changed and it makes them wary. what if he got binghe’s attention as he is wont to do. What if he left. What if Shen Yuan was born with a bottomless pit in his stomach and a gaping maw in his chest. What if he was starving. What if he was starving for the world around him. What if i wrote that. What then

cumplane past relationships

okay but why is cumplane knowing each other in their past lives so cute, like genuinely? maybe its the usual case of "cucumber finds out that airplane is struggling to afford rent and food and so offers financial support so he can get his story back on track" or maybe its one of those "they don't even know the other's online pen and they're acting as completely normally non-NEET friends" or even "they've been friends from the start and cucumber rags on airplane's writing but reads it anyway before he posts just so he can be the first to comment his criticism" or some shit. I dunno.

like if Fanon (I think it's Fanon) of sqh using cucumber bro's comments as a model for his creation of mobei-jun and falling in love with that or sqq falling in love with binghe because he's a more beefed-up reflection of sqh, LIKE HELLO?

I sometimes imagine a world in which they knew each other a little better and were just on the precipice of something more and then. died. and then sqh grows up in this world and mobei-jun reminds him so strongly of a-yuan and... then his villain becomes weird??? wtf?? and more like his old crush from his old world???? and then somehow they meet each other BEFORE lbh goes into the abyss

and theres this whole developing story where they figure it out and pick right back where they left off after a bit of awkwardness, and finally manage to get over that hill from their past life and the peak lords are like "what" because this hsit just got weirder

[dark-lord-ivy]

"You kept it," Binghe says, with what passes as his own voice. It's deep, and it makes Shen Yuan feel a little shaky. There must be some kind of an otherworldly quality to it.

"I, well, yes, of course."

It shouldn't be an "of course"! He'd found it on a dead creature! But it is a fine fan, free of blood and organ bits, well crafted out of quality materials.

Finally time to post my piece for the @svsssbigbang!! Done for Pulling The Fog Off The Glass by @rymyanna. My fellow artist @kingofthemonkel also did an incredible piece for this fic, please check it out as well!

A few closeups below:

[disgracefulthings]

PIDW, after Shen Qingqiu is sent to the Water Prison

Yue Qingyuan: Lord Luo, how is Shen Qingqiu? I hope Huan Hua Palace is treating him fairly

Luo Binghe: He is fine, though he has lost a lot of weight recently

Yue Qingyuan: You're starving him?!

Luo Binghe: Of course not. I make sure he has 3 full meals a day

Yue Qingyuan: ...then how did he lose weight?

Luo Binghe, holding out a box containing Shen Qingqiu's limbs: Before we go into that, I have a gift for you!

Tbh the only thing preventing canon Liushen is that LQG never went ape shit and started biting people. SY would have gone into heat right there
