Epic and scum villain are currently my favorite fandoms (not counting tgcf) so I wanted to make this list. Also please give me any epic x svsss fics or art, I'd greatly appreciate it (I've already read the suffering fic)!!!
Just a man: This was actually what inspired this list and the idea for an animation won't leave my head. This is Shen Qingqiu during the abyss scene. This is him trying to rationalize pushing Luo Binghe. The whole first half of the song is him saying how he couldn’t possibly do it. You'd replace "Deep down I'd trade the world to see my son and wife" with "Deep down I'd trade almost anything to save you from this fate" (yes ik it doesn't sound good or rhyme but I'm terrible at anything music based or poem based). The silent beat between "I'm just a man" and the "but when dose a comet become a meteor" is the system reminded him of how many points he'll lose (and maybe how many he has), so he get that final push to turn his sword onto Luo Binghe.
Luck runs out: OK, this one is not even close to cannon but I'd love if this happened even if it's slightly occ. Also this isn't nearly as long as just a man bc that one actually has been haunting my brain like Christmas in October. I can see this is moment between Shen Qingqiu escaping the water prison and self destructing where somehow Shen Qingqiu runs into Shang Qinghua. I think that it would be more likely to happen if they were a bit closer and if Shang Qinghua wasn't fully sure that the mushroom bodies would be ok. I think it could sort of be Shang Qinghua trying to get Shen Qingqiu to flee the city (this gets shut down either by Shen Qingqiu telling him about the blood mites or Luo Binghe almost having qi deviation)
Wouldn't you like: Doing time jumps because I'm going in Epic order. This is literally just some sort of knowledge person rewarding Luo Binghe for helping them. So they tell him about Xin Mo and how all of his enemies (or monsters), that will kill him if he doesn't become stronger, will be easily defeated with Xin Mo
There are other ways: A woman who was supposed to be a wife trying to get out of a lost fight. Of course Luo Binghe doesn't care so instead she gives him information about a prophet that can help him escape in exchange for mercy.
No longer you: I would talk about this but there are already at least three animations on YouTube on this, they're both so good. [animation 1] [animation 2] [animation 3]
Monster: Luo Binghe finally "snapping" or coming to terms with his blackening (in the abyss)
Suffering: Sirens that were either a wife plot or wives themselves originally, probably both. Luo Binghe trying to get info out of a siren that looks like his beloved shizun, thats it. There is also a really cool animation of this on YouTube. [Animation]
Legendary: this on is only being added because the same creator at the suffering did one if legendary and it opened my eyes. It's pretty much white lotus Binghe talking about wanting to be great then cutting to black lotus (during the five years) wishing for his shizun back. [Animation]
Little wolf: Kind of a stretch but Meng Mo training a young Luo Binghe. This would not be a real fight but old fights that Luo Binghe lost and is reliving in his dreams to see what he did wrong. The only problem would be hurting the mind by hurting someone in a dream. Alternatively: Shen Qingqiu silently cheering on Luo Binghe during his "fight" with Ming Fan. Quick thought would just be the leaves being shot
Not sorry for loving you: I already made a post about this and as you can see by the dwindling lengths of these descriptions, I'm getting really lazy (plus it's late) so just read the post please. [Post]
I can't help but wonder: This just feels like something post cannon where BingQiu finally talk about everything. Luo Binghe probably says something about how he's a monster and has done terrible things and Shen Qingqiu is practically offended that Luo Binghe would suggest that Shen Qingqiu wouldn't love him because of that
This post was too ambitious for one sitting, especially this late but I did it. I might add more when my thoughts are more coherent and I'm not just throwing the pink slab of meat in my skull into the post
Tgcf Fic I wish existed/promt???
!Spoiler warning!
So, pretty much, somehow, someway, after the events of cannon (minus the year that Xie Lian waited) Hualian kick the bucket, don't ask me to explain why. Its ideally after they win the fight against Jun Wu.
Obviously thing one (Feng Xin) and Thing two (Mu Qing) are distraught but years go by and the pain dulls. Oddly enough people do pray to hualian statues, usually asking for love, despite it being known that they are gone. Well, no big deal, mortals are weird.
Anyway, one day Mu Qing gets a few prayers about some ghost in a small town. Usually Feng Xin would be with him but the man likes to keep himself busy during this time (the anniversary). By the time he gets there some local cultivator had already worked things out. Peacefully too, hoe odd. So Mu Qing decides to investigate, perhaps someone destined to ascend.
He some how finds himself at a temple to Hualian, yay... though, there is the cultivator he was looking for. It's a young woman (probably a good thing Feng Xin didn't go) in peach colored robes. She didn't look anything special, her tanned skin indicated that she probably helped out in the fields. She has kind eyes.
What was she doing at that temple though? Praying for love? Maybe not praying but love was definitely a cause. Their was another young woman (oh God, another one) who tended to the shrine. She was probably about a year younger then the cultivator. She wore dark pink robes, almost red and her hair was on a lopsided ponytail.
Anyone could tell by the way they looked at each other... and... wait, Mu Qing recognized the cultivator's smile and the foxish smirk from the other
Oh
Mu Qing thought that gods did reincarnate. That's what everyone knew... but...
His Highness... Her Highness? Looked happy andsodidthatannoyinglittlebratturmedsupreme
Maybe it was best to let them have their peace...
Mu Qing returned back to heaven, something in his chest feeling lighter
My personal favorite hc of mine is that sqq has a hard time falling asleep without lbh (he stresses about his husband's well-being/Binghe’s anxiety has rubbed off on him). This leads him to sometimes fall asleep in odd places.
Imagine Binghe finishes up what ever work he had to do earlier than expected and decides to surprise Shen Qingqiu. He shows up at Qing Jing Peak, exciting to see his husband.
He can't find him. Why? Sqq fell asleep against a tree while on a walk. Now, of course, like any reasonable person, Binghe freaks out.
So, eventually Sqq come back to an overturned peak and his husband looking like this:
Lost motivation to finish this but here you go
I think it's pretty clear that I can only draw women but I tried 🧍♂️
I want to draw Shen Yuan in high heels, stockings and a black mini skirt. But alas, I don't have the artistic abilities to do so
So this is kind of a dnd x svsss au but not really The title is supposed to be a spin on dungeon crawlers but instead it just sounds like a nightmare fuel spider
So, after pushing his little sheep into the endless abyss, Shen Qingqiu starts really regretting his choice. Sure, Binghe should survive... but what if Shen Qingqiu’s plot changes somehow messed him up?! Maybe since it's a bitter betrayal that came out no where instead of one long coming, Binghe won't have the right motivation to get out???
So, the system, seeeing it's host despair so much, decides to use the last bit of its power to grant the protagonist a Shizun shaped guide... though the abyss has closed so it can't just chuck Shen Qingqiu in, and besides, a human wouldn't do good in the abyss
Shen Qingqiu is suddenly no longer at the closed abyss but rather in some kind character creator... wait, he gets to create his own vessel? He's so excited! Oh, but here's the catch, since the system is away from the protagonist he has a very short count down. We'll, he can't go into the abyss as some bald demon, so he picks the choice "Chose last requirement model,"
Part of him thinks it'll just make him so demon version of the original goods... instead it pulls a character out from... from a dnd campaign he did back in high-school. The only reason why he remembers it is because they got mess around with homebrew for their races and roles (you can probably tell I've never played dnd).
Ok, well that not to bad... wait, what's this about deleting his am memories because they'd make the plot too easy????
~~~~~~
Shen Yuan... he think that's his name, he's not sure how knows though... wakes up, not really remembering anything, on a hot stone floor... oh, wait, thats the ground. He picks up his staff and creates a small light spell... wait, he didn't remember learning that... how did he do that???
Well, it seems he remembers any knowledge he gained but not anything personal to him... Is that crying???
Shen Yuan walks over to a small human size dent (he knows he's not human but it's still in his vocabulary... perhaps he hangs out around humans?) in the ground. It's a kid (really, he's like 17-19 but he's still young...) crying, the kid is not human... Part of him thinks that anything in the endless abyss (is that where he is?) is dangerous, bit most of him want to give the kid a hug and pat his curls...
I need more Shen family fics
Not Shen twins, or SY being SJ's son, none of that (though I still love those au's). I need fics about Shen Yuan's family from his past life
I absolutely love fics that do that
Especially when they portray Shen Yuan and his siblings (and how they effected him, even as SQQ)
Did Shen Yuan learn to braid hair for his little sister? Did one of his older brothers teach him how to do a good poker face? Did they all hang out? How did they fight? How did they bond? What were core memories that they share? Did their parents have a favorite? Who was Shen Yuan closest to?
How did they each react to his death?
Do they miss him?
Role swap Shizun LBH this, Role swap disciple SY that, No!
Role swap where young (teen) lbh just dies and ends up transmigrating into one of the kids SY tutors (I feeling he would) from his class
I need need need post cannon fics talking about Shen Qingqiu having some form of body dysmorphia
The reasons for it being post cannon is one, he gets to actually work through some of his thoughts instead of just surviving the plot. Two, he actually knows more about Shen Jiu and starts to think of him more as a person then just some terrible villain
I want to be in a state of not thinking the face he wears is his but also having for so long that his old one wouldn't be something he recognized
I just need a scene were Luo Binghe comes home one day and Shen Qingqiu is just sitting on the floor, zoned all the way out, and the mirror (that was in that specific room) shattered
Obviously Shen Qingqiu can't explain what's wrong because how could he and on some level Luo Binghe knows that he won't get a proper answer but just
I feel like this could have already been said because it just seems so obvious but I haven't found any post like this.
What if Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu just swapped.
We know that Shen Jiu had a terrible qi deviation that lead to him essentially dying. This is what aloud Shen Yuan's soul to replace him. Though couldn't that technically mean that the same could have happened for Shen Jiu but with Shen Yuan's body.
Just a thought.
So lbh definitely talked to sqq's corpse during those five years. Maybe he told his dead shizun about his day or his worries (both politically and in the dead shizun flavors). Though I think my favorite would be just talking about his feelings, especially since he never got to do that before everything happened (and honestly that could have saved a lot of time)
Cut to post cannon and Luo Binghe still has this habit, just instead of Shen Qingqiu being dead he's just sleeping. So some (most if not all) mornings when Luo Binghe wakes up before Shen Qingqiu he'll just sort of talk about things. It's usually a lot less emotionally charged since, well, sqq is actually alive, but still. I also imagine if there's ever stuff he doesn't want to burden sqq with knowing, he'll just end up telling it to him when he's asleep. Adding this with the headcannon that it took Bingqiu a long time to actually say 'I love you', I think that Luo Binghe would tell sleeping sqq that he loves him
Look, SY wife-beaming everyone is amazing and all but how about him just Mom-beaming everyone. I don't mean both, I mean just becoming a mother figure to random people/people he barely knows, no romantic feelings (at least in most cases).
He probably feels like it isn't much but I can definitely see him comforting his fellow sect members/peak lords and it actually sticks with them. I especially imagine it for (platonic) cumplane, EX:
Sqh: it's my fault... everyone's suffering is all my fault. How can I even face anyone... I'm a terrible person
Sqq: Tolkien is scum
Sqh: What?! No, what are you talking about it? How is that even relevant???
Sqq: Shakespeare too
Sqh: I- I mean I guess I could believe that- wait! No, answer my questions! What are you talking about?
Sqq: Really most authors are
Sqh: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?
Sqq: Well according to your logic
Sqh: I didn't say any of that
Sqq: You're blaming yourself just for writing tragedy
Sqh: Yeah, but mines real
Sqq: Who's to say any other authors works aren't real?
Sqh: I... I mean I guess but-
Sqq: You were just writing, you weren't meaning to hurt anyone. This never was supposed to be real. Its not something you have the weight in to prosecute yourself. You just wrote fiction and if that's so wrong then everyone who ever wrote any form of tragedy are terrible scum. That's not something you get to be the judge of.
Sqh: bro...
And then sqq just freaking leaves to go do something
Any pronouns | artist/writer I do crappy little drawings of my ideas or text posts I like >:)
