Hua Cheng: I got a tattoo of dianxia's name

Lan Zhan: I branded my chest with the Wen symbol

Luo Binghe: oh you guys gave yourselves those marks? L. *shows off chest scar* SHIZUN gave me this 😏

Hua cheng and Lan zhan clenching their fists: lucky bastard..

Shang Qinghua: Here's some advice

Shen Qingqiu : I didn't ask for any

Shang Qinghua: Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who talks to me

Mu Qing: Xie Lian, my old arch enemy.

Fen Xin: ... I thought I was your arch enemy?

Mu Qing: I have a life outside of you, Feng Xin.

I want someone to look at me the way Hua Cheng looks at Xie Lian.

lan wangji is the funniest bitch ever and we don't talk about it enough

Sailor Moon Skylines

modern au where college dropout sqh DMs a D&D game on twitch that's popular bc he's known to be a terribly chaotic DM

he has his homebrew world that is actually very, very detailed, but since he comes up with his best ideas in the moment, he tends to forget or retcon a lot of stuff. it frustrates players and viewers alike.

but he's also incrediblly good at bringing characters to life, integrating backgrounds, playing npcs that viewers fall in love with, and the world he built is so vast - people often ask for him to write an adventure/setting/world instead of DMing, but twitch is his source of income, so he can't do that

then his party has a falling out; some players disrespect the boundaries of others, sqh's suggestion to use consent sheets, taboos and cards to signify if someone is not feeling up to something is smashed down by half the party who think it's "woke bullshit ruining D&D". At the end of that session, all players decide to quit and sqh is sitting there like "Well, there goes my campaign, guess that's it. maybe I'll rewatch all our videos and painstakingly write that book for money"

enter shen yuan, rules lawyer and note-taker extraordinaire and loyal watcher and hater of the campaign. he's upset that now he'll never get to know the ending of the story, so many npcs still had their motives and backgrounds unexplored! the waste!

so he contacts sqh, offering to be a player for him under specific conditions such as sqh has to get better at consistency, no more retconning, and the other players have to be respectful towards each other, safety tools must be used from day one, etc. sqh decides to take it.

so they start looking for more players - locally, this time, bc the last campaign was played online due to distances. this time, they wanna play at a table. sqh doesn't have many irl friends, but he does have Liu Mingyan, who is always stuck being the DM but would really like to actually be a player for once. lmy brings her girlfriend shl along.

When he finds out that his crush has this hobby and is looking for other players, Luo Binghe becomes a D&D expert overnight.

then sqh's former college roommate mbj, who has been heart broken since sqh dropped out and moved off campus before he managed to seduce him, finds out and jumps at the chance to see him again irl at least once a week

their session zero is not livestreamed; they just sit down at the big table sy bought specifically for this. and things go so well? their group vibe is chaotic but good, they agree on the most important things, and the sitting at the table brings a new level of immersion that sqh has been craving for so long.

in the end, they all settle on their characters. they do not pick up where the last campaign left off - rather, they start from a different aspect of it that doesn't require a story reset.

The game goes so well. It's fun, it's immesive, it's exciting. with sy's note-taking skills, the plot goes much more smoothly. sqh gets excited about DMing again - he actually gets into crafting physical things like notes, a quest board, things like that.

sy, who always claimed that romance had no place in D&D, it's meant for just adventure, eventually very shyly begins a little romance in-game with one of sqh's npcs. lbh and mbj despair a little over it. eventually, sqh outs that npc as a traitor who has been sabotaging the party all along, and sy and his character are both heartbroken.

mbj makes a point of trying to romance pretty much every single npc from then on. his half-orc paladin always just rips off flowers somewhere and offers them to the respective npc. viewers constantly despair over him bc mbj just isn't good at roleplaying and they feel like he hasn't understood what a paladin is supposed to be like, his character lacks the emotional complexity, blabla, he should have played a half orc - but then in a q&a mbj says that he wanted to play a character who is completely devoted to the creator god, who has been sleeping for milennia.

sqh does not get the hint.

that q&a session does remind mbj of his character's motives though, he stops trying to romance every single npc and instead seeks contact and guidance from his god.

feeling cheeky, sqh puts an npc at the paladin's side - a scaredy-cat bard who is actually the creator god's human form after the god had his powers sealed milennia ago for creating something that coud kill the others gods. Since then, he has been wandering the earth in a weak human form while the gods claimed he has been sleeping.

the scene in which that is revealed leads to the first and only on-screen kiss where mbj, overcome with his own and his character's feelings (for once), grabs sqh by the face and kisses him. the chat is freaking out. sqh is in a daze while sy and lmy rip into mbj for violating their consent rules until sqh finally goes it's fine, it was just an in-character spur of the moment thing, he doesn't mind!! please don't do it again but it's okay!! let's just continue the story!!!

mbj, once again despairing bc he finally kissed his crush but his crush thought it was just an in character thing

they have another long talk about consent and boundaries in the group. afterwards mbj wants to talk to sqh alone to explain, sqh just goes on this rant that it's fine, mbj was too in character, he understands that it doesn't mean anything about them and that he regrets it and it was a mistake and mbj, fed up with sqh's lack of understanding, just goes "yes, it was in character, but only because i made that character because i want to kiss you"

and then they make out on the gaming table, the end

I still can’t believe that Wei Wuxian shared that book with Lan Wangji and he didn’t even look at it himself 🙄

Now Part 2

Xie Lian

You were banished for the stupidest reason. Even your worst enemies agree that your banishment was unjust.

My favorite trope for SVSSS fics is when SQH lacks self-confidence/worth and, let’s be honest, has depression. It feels like it adds so much more depth to this character.

When writers have it so that we know he created this world but has such little regard for himself. Where he’s written to see himself as a disloyal coward—sure, he spied on the sect and yeah, he’d run from a fight—but he forgets that he almost died for Mobei-Jun. That he helped Shen Yuan with his plant body. That he gave LBH that terrible yet effective advice. I like reading that SQH is reliable when to really counts. (And he’s also a total badass but that’s a different post.)

I love fics that pick up on that. Like, seriously, give me that angst.

The few fics I’ve read that really focus on this are:

Wednesdays are for Kareoke

by: Talthecap

Modern AU. Rated M.

Summary: Shang Qinghua raised a hand to reach out to his friend, a question on his lips. Then he stopped short.

That was an I.V. line.

An I.V. line hooked up to his hand. What in the? Shang Qinghua felt the cotton in his head expand even more as he took in the fact that he was lying propped up in what was clearly a hospital bed, in a hospital room, with hospital equipment hooked up to him. How much did he have to drink last night?

OR

Shang Qinghua wakes up after a suicide attempt he doesn't remember.

Husbands (Imaginary)

by: diamondbruise

Modern AU. Rated T.

Summary: Shang Qinghua tries to divorce Mobei Jun. It goes as well as you'd expect.

so you’ve had a bad day

by: tagteamme

Canon. Rated E.

Summary: Shang Qinghua is not stupid.

It does not take a genius to know what it means when you ask a servant where your lord has left to and they readily supply the name of an exclusive brothel in between the two realms. Especially when it's after your utterly disastrous first time together.

So he goes away for a bit to clear his head. And promptly gets kidnapped

As always: I’m open to recs!
