Here me out Shang Qinghua….rickrolls Transmigrator Hua Cheng. It’s like a crossover and Hua Cheng is with Gege, chilling then out of nowhere Hua Cheng hears the familiar tune of… “You know the rules and so do, I~”

LMAO. He totally would.

"Come here San-Di, Er-Ge and myself have some wisdom to share with you." "Sure why not, wait why is Er-Ge playing on the guqing, wait... WAIT. YOU MOTHERF--"

Another day:

"You gotta cherish your Xie Lian, you know." "Never give up on him." "Never gonna let him down." Both together, "Never gonna say a lie and hurt him." "I should've killed you both the day I found you at the edge of the ghost city."

SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT TRANSMIGRATOR! Hua Cheng

If he ever met Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua would he be like “damn you guys got transmigrated into that novel? Sucks to suck. Anyways back to watching over XL”

I honestly want to see his adventures of being a Transmigrator. You said he was a gamer pre-Transmigrator was he like the type of gamer what type was he? I can strangely picture him as a type of Technoblade-like guy, but I’m curious.

Also how do Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua feel about Hua Cheng? Do they make like a secret transmigration club?

hehehe I'm glad it inspires you! (I often think about this au, this is my self-indulgent classic isekai story)

To answer your question, Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan are actually a big part of this AU! In the story I imagined for it, Hua Cheng meets them around the 300 years mark, so a bit after he loses track of Xie Lian. Since he's so happy to meet other transmigrators, and Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan are much older than him, he calls them respectively Da-Ge and Er-Ge. Which means that in returns the other two calls him San-Di (giving him his future nickname of San Lang, see what I did there?) They have both been transmigrated into PIDW as per SVSSS story, however, ATTP (or TGCF) happen in the same univers a few thousand years after. And Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan...

Well you know what forced immortality has made of Xie Lian.

They start of as reassuring figures for Hua Cheng but slowly evolves into something more sinister as he learns about how the system ordained one by one the deaths of the SVSSS characters to make place for ATTP, until only the transmigrators were left. And it all implodes when he discovers that the reason he ended up transmigrated into Hong-er is because Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua tampered with the system. They basically forced his transmigration to create a gateway between the real world and the fictional one.

"You... raised me into a weapon?!" "Oh please that's giving you to much credit. You're like a USB cable, useless on its own, but god damn aren't you glad you found one?" sighs Shang Qinghua. "I'm so sorry San-Di... But you understand don't you...? If you don't..." Shen Qingqiu moves uncomfortably close, placing a firm hand on his shoulder Hua Cheng's can't seem to shake off. "We'll just have start over again until it works." "What do you want from me?" And Shang Qinghua laughs, "What your character was meant to do." He plants his knife into the wooden table. "Die at the right moment for us to finally unplug that fucking system."

So I guess that answers your first and third question: Hua Cheng do cares about them but also they act like a chain around his neck and direct him the way they need him to in order to execute their plan to destroy the system. (Ah my favorite trope: Toxic Found Family or The Family You Shouldn't Have Found) Fun fact, one of the reasons Hua Cheng gives all his spritual energy to Xie Lian at the end of TGCF isn't just to free him but to induce his death as the other tranmigrator demanded and create the gateway they need to access the system in this AU. (Also while Hua Cheng is UV003 there's also a UV000 in this AU)

In other fun fact, Shen Yuan is the one who taught him to how to use E-ming as a floating scimitar during fights!

As for what type of gamer Hua Cheng was IRL, well I'm a fake gamer so I'm not the best at this, but he plays basically everything as long as it's not too boring and doesn't involve interacting too much with other peoples (a true introvert). I think he would particularly like horror games or simply games with a lot of lore, or at least open-world that you can explore like BoW. However, he doesn't come from a rich background so he couldn't exactly buy as many video games as he'd like. His main speciality because of that is actually arcade games (he was very good at those dancing games). But really what he likes are game with beautiful aesthetics and complex lore that could fill a big artbooks of 300 pages.

Thank you for your interest in this AU! When my computer isn't dying anymore from my workload, maybe I'll do some sketches of it.

Your almost tgcf comics got me to actually read tgcf because they are beautiful and wonderful and awesome but I really thought mu qing was a girl for some reason so i was just running back and forth trying to check your tags and the book at the same time and freaking out. really great job really enriches the reading experience <3

That's great! It's the whole point of this comic! :D And that's a pretty funny assumption tbf tho he is very pretty so I totally understand. thank you so much! <3

[tempo-takoyaki]

i cant believe i missed the news of your zine!! i love ur tgcf art and will absolutely purchase if u do a rerun

Haha don't worry, life's a bit messy right now so I keep delaying the rerelease of the fanzine, but once that's done, the pdf will be available for free for download on my ko-fi! (and for viewing on pixiv) thank you so much for your support <3

[tempo-takoyaki]

I originally found you because of your Transmigrator Hua Cheng AU which I love and want more of pls? Then I was searching for something on this hellsite and saw you like Danganronpa 🥰. THEN later I looked up and saw you like Twisted Wonderland and Now I'm 😆😆😆😆

Omg Jerry they found my past fandoms lock the doors /jk

I'm joking it's fun to see other people sharing the same interests! ❤️ I really like DR and TWST, I think I've always been sort of attracted to things that give the vibes of "I'm cringe but I'm free" haha.

As for the Hua Cheng transmigrator AU, it's so self-indulgent that it sorts of goes everywhere and nowhere at once so I don't share much of it, but really my askbox is open if you guys have any questions about it because I love it. I have other HC involving AUs too but too little time to actually develop and talk about them lately 😭

[tempo-takoyaki]

Dawg why are the fanzines such high quality?? 😭😭 I feel like I’ve robbed you - not to mention the prints on fancy-ass cardboard. The WASHI TAPE. Did you make anything off these???

Izjzjdbd I'm glad you find them good quality! I really wanted it to look like something I would buy myself! (For the washi tape though, it's not made by me! The two washi tapes I used for packaging are from mikoratte and auroramaeno!)

As for profit, I can't give actual numbers for now (still calculating everything) but I've made some. Not much due to the circumstances, but some!

[tempo-takoyaki]

It's maid day! *maid-fication beam*

[tempo-takoyaki]

Hi!

I received the fanzine and the prints I ordered with it like 2 weeks ago and I completely forgot to tell you how delighted I was with the quality of everything!

Also I might've read the fanzine in public and got a nice chat where I could info dump about tgcf!

Anyways I love it, and I'm glad I ordered from you! <3

aaaah thank you so much i'm happy you like it! ^^ And it's so nice you were able to talk to someone about tgcf thanks to it, it's an honor <3

[tempo-takoyaki]

Jsjsbee thank you so much for buying my fanzine! 🙏♥️ I hope you'll enjoy the bonus content!

A lovely fanzine arrived today!!!!! Tysm @tempo-takoyaki for doing a print version of your hilarious retelling of tgcf ✨ I'm super excited to read it again and to see the extras in the zine :D!! I adore the prints and sticker that came with it as well 💕

All packages have been sent! 🎉 You should all have been sent a tracking number through email so remember to check your inbox as well as your spams. If you haven't, or if you have some issue with your package you can dm me or email me at any time!

Good news, I've started to pack the fanzines! I packed all orders for EU and they should be sent this Monday. As for the International orders, I still need to take care of some paperworks, but they should start being sent between this Friday and Monday of next week! (I gotta leave home for a bit that's why the whole thing is delayed)

Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delay!

Right in time before the end of mermay, here is my third prompt for SVSSSAction and donated by lxchelthegodess on twitter! As you may know I absolutely adore mermaids, so I definitely had to give my all for the Bingqiu Little Mermaid AU. One day too, Luo Binghe shall be part of prince Shen Qingqiu's world...

[tempo-takoyaki]

Hi! I ordered one of your fanzines and some stickers, and when I placed the order I selected tracked letter shipping. I live in the US and I thought you said you had sent all the us orders, but I haven’t received any tracking info yet. Did I misread you?or should I not be expecting a tracking number? I’m not trying to rush anything I’m just curious as to what I should expect/ when

Thanks so much I’m reallly excited to get your work!

Hi! No worries, it's simply because I haven't sent the tracking numbers yet. (That, or the post office still hasn't taken into account your order yet, there's a few in this situation). So no worries, you should get your tracking number and your order soon enough! (and if you want more details you can email or dm me at any time)

[tempo-takoyaki]

I can't believe I missed this. Finally, Kale and Salad are reunited. May they forever be happy.

In honor of my "gege am i ugly" post getting over 10k notes, here's a "san lang am i ugly" version of it. Featuring: how I'm picturing Hua Cheng 90% of the time.

[tempo-takoyaki]

Heyy, I don't really have a question but I wanted to talk about your almost tgcf fanzine. I was gonna post about it when I got mine but I feel extremely anxious about stuff like that so I decided to do this instead bcs anonymity lmao??

ANYWAYS I love it A LOT. Everything I got, the sticker, the art, evrrything is beautiful and it made my day to receive the package!! I was absolutely surprised by the quality of the zine as well!

I've loved ur art for a while now (I've been following since ur first almost tgcf post) and I'm so glad I get to have smth physical from u :))

Aaaah thank you so much!! This is super heartwarming, I'm so happy you're happy with your zine and my art! I'll keep doing my best thank you again!

[tempo-takoyaki]

Okay so, if you're outside of the EU, you may have noticed that I haven't sent your packages yet. That's due to bad managment on my part (I didn't think it would take me THIS long just to fill in paperwork) and also because I got incredibly sick. For now, I've finished prepping packages meant to be sent to US, and will start prepping those meant for the rest of the world ASAP.

As always, the shop re-opening is post poned until then, if you're in France in November, I'll try to be at Y/con with some copies.

Thank you so much for your patience and your support.

Hello Tempo! I really love your art and your Almost TGCF had me rofl-ing!

I hope everything goes well with your shop!

Out of curiosity, what program and brushes do you use? It kind of reminds me of Photoshop but I'm not too sure

I hope you have a good day!

Thank you so much and sorry for the late answer!! 🙏❤️ As for which program I use, I use CSP and mainly uses the default brushes! (I've downloaded a few shortcuts brushes but no textured ones yet)

If you're curious here are the setting for the main one I use (I can't seem to be able to screenshot it so here's a photo) :

For my sketches it's the exact same setting excepts that I lowered the opacity with the pen pressure. You can achieve those results by tweaking the parameters on the G-pen's brush size and opacity!

I personally don't like it when things are too complicated when drawing, so I keep the brushes I use at a minimal.

I hope you have a wonderful day as well! ✨
