And another Moshang moment, probably the most iconic.

I love this moment because SQH fucking caught his brick house of a boyfriend, mid-air. He's always played out as this book keeping coward, who doesn't fight or do cool stuff but when his bf is in trouble he just acts (see every time mbj is in trouble...which is a lot tbh).

You can't convince me MBJ wasn't internally screaming like a fangirl while outwardly looking shocked or still with a deadpan expression because he isn't quite sure how to react to this typical damsel in distress trope.

Also:

I do love that cumplane always looks out for each other even if they (cucumber-bro mostly) pretend they don't care about each other.

[wyyvoren]

So like, Qinghua has pretty open access to Mobei-Jun.

(Love that one post about sqh manhandling mbj and mbj just being all limp and obedient.)

But i was thinking, who else would Mbj trust as a taste tester? Im sure he has them, but thats still his fokd going through a lot of people's hands. So who else can he trust but the hamster? Also, SQH is always busy and forgets to eat. So win win, Sqh has to take a few bites of food and Mbj knows its safe to eat.

Years of this later, they're in like some important buisness style meeting. Qinghua is pacing around giving his report. There are demon lords all around. Mobei-Jun refuses to eat despite everyone else doing so. Qinghua is not thinking about anything except explaining the benefits of trade routes where you don't eat the traders. So as he walks by he casually steals a bite from MBJ's bowl. Then keeps walking. The nobels are HORRIFIED staring in shock while Mbj is pleased and immediately starts to eat.

Imagine your sister writes fanfiction of your crush being fucked by his student, but not you who is fighting everyday to get his corpse back for the past five years.

That is real and happened to my bro Liu qingge

Tbh the idea of Shen Yuan's da-ge transmigrating into Mobei-jun specifically is so fun to me.

Note, after finishing typing this post: I accidentally made it Shen Yuan angst again

Maybe I'll think about how it plays out later, but he and Airplane figure out each other's transmigrator identities very early.

Airplane realizes that there's a 3rd user in listed the System that wasn't there before (Airplane, crying to himself because he hasn't even met the second user), and that Mobei-jun is acting weird.

He's still cold (ha) and bossy, but also very...? Corporate? Has the air of a scary businessman from the modern day? When dealing with official business, at least. Not to mention, anachronistic ways speech and mannerisms appeared more frequently than the usual for PIDW characters.

They both connect the dots eventually.

Soon after the transmigrator relization, they have a little chat. "You read PIDW?" is what Airplane decides to ask eventually. Shen da-ge smiles thoughtfully. "Ah, no. My younger brother did. He always ranted about it, constantly!" He chuckles at the memory. "Even so, he kept reading it, day in and out. I will never understand why, but he felt very passionately about it. He had merch of it all over his room! I was so surprised." "Hah! That reminds me of one of my readers! He would leave a scathing review under every single one of the chapters, but paid early access for every new release." (After some more chatter...) "Hey, did you happen to know your brother's Zhongdian ID? I want to know if I recognize him from the comments." "It's quite immature," Shen da-ge prefaces, tiredly sighing but clearly endeared by his brother's antics, "it's Peerless Cucumber. A dick joke."

After this (After Airplane comes to 50 different realizations about Peerless Cucumber and oh my fuckin god, his oldest brother?! Who is a rich businessman?!!?!?!), Airplane and Shen da-ge do their best to improve their fates.

Da-ge already agreed to not purposefully killing Airplane, and Airplane agreed to focus on mitigating the death toll of disciples during the Immortal Alliance Conference.

Airplane is also in a constant state of being embarassed and yelling at himself in his head because he has to explain the plot to a non-reader.

(And also explain the monsters and the weird sex plants — which he doesn't even remember most of!!! He could REALLY use Peerless Cucumber right now!)

"It's a what?" Da-ge deadpans. "Uhm... Tentacle plant that disolves clothes but not skin or hair..." "..." "Look, the horny readers loved it, and it paid my bills. Don't you know the game, Mr. Businessman?" "I think I'd rather have discussion when there's a porn plant and an acid river in our immediate vicinity."

Ah, there's a thought I had. One that sparked this idea in the first place.

So, the thing about Da-ge... He knows almost absolutely nothing about his youngest brother's love-hate novel, and is only aware that he's in Proud Immortal Demon Way because:

The System

Shen Yuan had, like, plushies of the demon trio (MBJ, SHL, and of course, LBH) next to his bed in his appartment.

Thankfully, he wasn't just the transmigration equivalent a baby seaturtle left to fend for itself on the shore. He wasn't unfamiliar with xianxia or wuxia, much like he made Shen Yuan believe for too long.

(Oh, how completely, utterly foolish of him to keep putting up that 'I don't have fun, I'm all business' mask around the sibling who's been isolating the most. Who only grew further and further away as the years passed. Shen da-ge doesn't know if it would've helped that much, but it would've been something that *connected* them.)

(It's too late to change that now, right? Shen Yuan died, alone in his apartment. And considering that he's here, he supposes he himself died too. Pity that he couldn't reunite with his brother in this weird afterlife.)

Da-ge gets some missing glimpses Shen Yuan's interests and behaviors, how he acted online vs. how he presented himself in real life. One day, Shen da-ge tells Airplane, "Despite my brother's harshness, I do want to say that, you did give him joy. I thank you for that." In turn, Peerlesss Cucumber is humanized to Airplane through Da-ge's stories. A picture of the person behind the screen of a reader he could never forget.

Anyways, the image of Shen Qingqiu crying into Mobei-jun's arms is not something Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky would have ever thought about, but neither did meeting Peerless Cucumber's older brother.

Sorry Liu Qingge, Shen Jiu took control of the body for a sec

[wyyvoren]

If you're gonna make shen brothers it's imperative you make shen jiu so delusional about shen yuan it's crazy. He needs to be saying shit like "my sweet innocent brother who has no idea he seduces people and is constantly being taken advantage of" while everyone else goes "oh yeah I know shen yuan. He told me to kill myself online, then spent 4 hours riding me"

Some liushen for the requests? :}

always thinking about https://archiveofourown.org/works/38717058/chapters/96803820 when thinking about liushen

[wyyvoren]

Shen Yuan transmigrates into a powerful ice demon and just goes "Oh neat! Cool clothes and I don't have to worry about dying!" And kicks his feet up to chill. He doesn't recognize his name, so he assumes he's just some terribly irrelevant mob character who happens to be rich and strong and is just glad to run around PIDW without any consequences. He manages to gather that he's some widower with a young son, so he immediately assumes he's in the clear from potentially being an enemy of Binghe's. His son is so quiet, and demons aren't great with giving names, so he doesn't even know what to call the boy at first. It feels odd to ask him what his name is. He just does his best with raising him in a way that he can only hope isn't too noticeably different than the way the original goods did it.

His son is still very quiet, but as he grows, he and Shen Yuan become closer. The little prince is such a sweet boy! He makes Shen Yuan little arts and crafts and leaves them on his desk to find. Anything from flower crowns to vaguely menacing knicknacs made of the bones of small animals. He'd be more scared if his son didn't seem so expectant of praise for the work. A few of them definitely resembled cursed idols, but who was he to judge his little demon son? There aren't any child rearing manuals, but from his own PIDW knowledge, this seemed developmentally on-track for demon kids.

But apparently the original goods wasn't rich and strong without consequence, because he's hounded with political matters before long. They're flooding his office with letters, hounding him for meetings, begging him to manage affairs in his territory. He's coming into contact with all these other powerful demons and has to pretend he's even slightly aware of what they're talking about.

During one of these meetings, some guy mentions the heavenly emperor, and Shen Yuan's like, "oh??? Binghe's here??? Already???" And he's furiously reworking his timeline, but the other demons are like, "who tf is Binghe. We're talking about Tianlang-Jun" and internally he's like, "who tf is Tianlang-Jun". Some poking around later, and he realizes he's REALLY far off from Binghes rise. Man's not even born yet. Honestly it makes him relax even more. He uses the time to get to know Tianlang-Jun a bit, just because he's so curious about Binghe's father! A full true Heavenly Demon! Not as cool as Binghe, who has both heavenly demonic and human cultivation abilities, but still cool! He's also just curious about the kind of man his blorbo's father was.

For some reason, Tianlang-Jun already has a son??? Upon closer inspection, a nephew? The conclusion, of course, is that something must've happened to both of them for them to not even be mentioned in the book. Deeply unfortunate, but not Shen Yuan's problem. Or that's what he would say, but Tianlang-Jun is seemingly very fond of him now. Something about being fellow single dads? He keeps bringing Zhuzhi-Lang around and foisting him onto Shen Yuan for a "play date" with Shen Yuan's son. Zhuzhi-Lang is a good boy, and very quiet, but he's also visibly older than Shen Yuan's son. Like, by a lot. But Shen Yuan is no expert on demonic aging rates, so maybe half snake demons just... look like grown adults? At this point, it's more like Zhuzhi-Lang is babysitting Shen Yuan's son while Tianlang-Jun fucks off somewhere without him. How irresponsible! But Shen Yuan accepts the free labor.

Years pass, his son grows- he also ends up with ice powers, as well as a spatial ability, though if Shen Yuan is correct, that power is likely from a demon tribe slightly south from their territory. It sounds familiar, but there are tons of reused abilities in PIDW. Nothing odd here! Eventually his son starts taking on jobs that Shen Yuan never asked him to do, in an effort to prove himself to Shen Yuan and also help him out. So at some point he takes it upon himself to go to take something from some cultivators.

It's not until his son comes back with a sniveling Shang Qinghua in tow that Shen Yuan realizes he must be very, VERY off the mark on who his character is.

Linguang-Jun was not, in fact, supposed to raise the future Mobei-Jun to be a dutiful son (nephew) who lacked abandonment issues and had a habit of leaving offerings on his uncle's desk like a cat, but since he neither knew who Linguang-Jun was nor the fact that Mobei-Jun was supposed to get dropped in the human world to be hunted for sport as a child, this was exactly the kind of Mobei-Jun that he had. Shang Qinghua, aka the hack author of this goddamn novel, has the audacity to complain to Shen Yuan about how he raised Mobei-Jun too well. When Shang Qinghua groveled and wailed and begged for mercy, Mobei-Jun brought him to his uncle! Because he "had the final say" in whether or not Shang Qinghua could swear fealty to him! What the fuck!

Mobei-Jun accepts Shang Qinghua's fealty at his uncle's behest, and Shen Yuan uses this attachment as a way to keep track of the timeline, including when Su Xiyan will fall pregnant with Tianlang-Jun's baby. In the meantime, Shen Yuan uses his own friendship with Tianlang-Jun as a way to mark his progress as well. He's met her a few times since Tianlang-Jun keeps dropping Zhuzhi-Lang off so they can run off on their little dates, but it's too odd to ask either of them if he's gotten her pregnant yet, so Shen Yuan tries instead to drop hints to nudge Tianlang-Jun in the right direction.

Talking about the joys of fatherhood, how adorable babies are, how unfortunate it is that some species, like humans, have very short windows of their lives in which they can have kids, and can even miscarry... Tianlang-Jun seems to get it- or maybe he's giving the man too much credit, because suddenly Tianlang-Jun is offering Zhuzhi-Lang as a surrogate with the insistence that "as a half-snake, he's guaranteed to give you litters! Even with a few dud eggs, he'll definitely give you a nice batch!" And "the gestational periods are short too, so you can always try again! As a heavenly demon, he's also very hardy! Your kids will be healthy for sure!" Shen Yuan has to firmly and kindly decline, though that seems to oddly disappoint Zhuzhi-Lang, who has been standing off to the side the entire time. Good sir, stand up for yourself! You don't need to do everything your uncle says! Filial piety only goes so far!

Anyway it's not long after that Su Xiyan actually gets pregnant. He expects canon to unfold from there, based on Shang Qinghua's unused old notes- Tianlang-Jun getting put under the mountain, Su Xiyan getting captured and dying after giving birth, Zhuzhi-Lang getting stuck in snake form and trying to free his uncle- all very sad and very necessary for Binghe's rise to power. Except for some reason Su Xiyan is now at Linguang-Jun's doorstep?! With Mobei-Jun?! Son, why do you look so proud of yourself?!

Apparently Mobei-Jun, who continued to pick fights with human cultivators, habitually came across Su Xiyan and her martial siblings. Su Xiyan, recognizing him, always let him off lightly out of consideration for Linguang-Jun. She warned him that as long as none of his attacks were fatal, she would let him go: but that if he killed any of her martial siblings, he would either die at her hands or suffer in the Huan Hua water prison. In return, Mobei-Jun, who was basically a semi-regular figure at the sect now, noticed immediately that she had gone missing when he showed up at the sect one day and it was another older cultivator that crossed blades with him, instead of her. Fast forward, and he's busting her out of captivity, and dragging her to Shen Yuan after she tells him that Tianlang-Jun is in danger. Shen Yuan is gobsmacked. The Old Palace Master hasn't even called on the other sects yet! Su Xiyan was in captivity for less than a day! What the hell, Mobei-Jun?!

But he cannot scold his dear nephew, who is looking at him so expectantly for praise. Instead, he calls on Tianlang-Jun and Zhuzhi-Lang to let them know about Su Xiyan's whereabouts, and then calls on Airplane. This damn hack author deserves the burden of this dilemma too!

Really, it's too late to turn back now, so after shaking Airplane's shoulders aggressively enough, the man finally agrees to pull some strings at his sect. The Old Palace Master's request for aid is turned down, Tianlang-Jun and Su Xiyan are alive, and it's not long before the Old Palace Master unfortunately qi deviates while attempting to cultivate in seclusion. Su Xiyan gives birth safely to a baby boy, and the human and demonic realms are in an uproar when Tianlang-Jun announces their marriage, but there's really very little they can do about it.

On the bright side, the two realms never merge. Unfortunately, Tianlang-Jun and Su Xiyan getting together seemed to have started a bit of a trend, and now Mobei-Jun was asking Linguang-Jun for permission to court Shang Qinghua??? And other cultivators that he met at the wedding have been extending offers and invitations to Linguang-Jun???

Shen Yuan would like to retreat back to the northern mountains and never come back.

I overuse ellipsis so much it's because of my pensive nature...

[wyyvoren]

I mentioned it briefly a couple days ago but actually im obsessed with Luo Binghe's little list of favorite places to be kissed.

"Forehead, fingers, lips, everywhere." (vol.4, ch.31)

Like, capping it with "everywhere" is perfect because of course.

But then we start hitting other characterization here, namely that "lips" is third on the list. That Luo Binghe doesn't pick the type of kiss that's associated with romance, or passion, as his first or even second choice. Nope! Apparently our boy likes nonsexual gestures of intimacy more!

And as I said before "forehead" being his top pick (இ﹏இ` ) He likes to be kissed on the demon mark most. He likes the small, chaste assurance more than anything else, more than anything only lovers would do. Gib him kissies SQQ! Do it!

And then we get to fingers which is even more insane because okay. Forehead is very understandable. Lips are also very understandable. But like, fingers?! Because. you know. Shen Qingqiu's obfuscating ass have not mentioned this to us ever like at all. When were you kissing Binghe's hands so much huh?? that he developed such a liking for it that he mentions it before 'lips'? At most I think wedding extra mentions SQQ sucking on Binghe's fingers but. is it that? because we all know SQQ would absolutely not fucking mention if he was just casually kissing Binghe's hands. Damn his unreliable narrator ways.

Anyway yeah obsessed with the implications here help

Two very different shen sibling dynamics that i both enjoy equally and some other svsss drawings

[wyyvoren]

Two months after Shen Jiu joins the sect he's finally forced to go get a full medical exam. It's remarkably tolerable- but they keep asking if he has any siblings and don't seem to be taking 'no' for an answer. Finally he's like "if I do I've never met them!" And fuck if the healers don't bring in an older boy with Shen Jiu's exact same face.

Chen Xuan is an inner disciple specializing in spiritual veins. He's from a middle class merchant family, but admits he doesn't look much like either of his parents.

Eventually they take a magical DNA test and yep, they are brothers.

Both of them are like, "this doesn't really change anything, I don't know you."

But they meet for tea frequently, and eventually after they become genuine friends Chen Xuan coaxes Shen Jiu to let him work on his spiritual veins. (Shen Jiu might start going to hide in his brother's room when he can't sleep but they never talk about that.)

Life goes on and not much is different until one year disciple selection gets Real Weird. Shen Qingqiu is just trying to snipe a promising kid from Liu Qingge - but then Ming Fan is like, "Shizun that other little boy bit me when I tried to separate them"

That other little boy, is of course Shen Yuan, who has his same face again. SQQ hadn't noticed him at first, he kept his head down. He's mentally cursing his slut-dad when Yue Qingyuan steps in and scoops up both boys despite his protests. (He noticed the mini Shen immediately)

Chen Xuan tells him later they do indeed have a new didi, just one thank the gods. If SQQ was related to both those little brats he'd kill someone.

He doesn't see either boy often but Shen Yuan has it out for him for some reason. He'll feel eyes on him and turn and there's that little street rat, glaring at him.

Again life goes on, once the boy's a little more settled he's invited to the brotherly tea meet ups. He and Shen Qingqiu reluctantly become fond of each other. (Chen Xuan's plan worked perfectly.)

Until Shen Yuan comes back from his first night hunt and crashes tea with a little baby girl. (Also Binghe comes too.)

SQQ rightfully asks why SY stole a baby and SY informs then that 1) the demon they killed had her in a sack so she was free not stolen and 2) "It's Meimei."

The two older men have sudden violent flashbacks to their past lives as Shen Yuan's Da-ge and Er-ge. Shen Yuan, of course has always remembered. After they recover from the shock they do another magical DNA test. The baby is definitely Meimei.

[wyyvoren]

Shen yuan is finally back from his outing! Baba Jiu was so worried but o-oh! What's that a-yuan brought home with him?? ^_^ ♡ oh no! What will Baba Jiu do?
