I Headcanon That Su She Was From An Aristocratic Family And Was A Black Sheep Due To His Disability,

I headcanon that Su She was from an aristocratic family and was a black sheep due to his disability, basically having the least unfortunate past of the Villainous Quartet because he seems to be the most “well adjusted”.

But then that got me thinking what if he had the most FUCKED UP background.

Xue Yang: Wait what?

Su Minshan: Huh? Oh yeah, I was born as a slave in a clan of cannibals at a different country. I was supposed to be eaten one day to please a death god that would consume my soul into its stomach that held a hellish realm where I would absorb every sin and misfortune of my killers, so they could remain pure. But then war ravaged the country, but nothing really changed because the famine made everyone else cannibals, but only some of them made a cult out of it. I just didn’t get eaten because I was one of the victims of the plague. I survived somehow, and was chosen by a random cult to become a sacrifice for a god of food. They threw me into the ocean from the top of a cliff. And that’s how I arrived in Jiangsu where an old lady took me in because she didn’t have grandchildren. After I buried her, the Lan sect was scouting for servants, and since I had experience being a slave, I passed with flying colors.

Mo Xuanyu: Wait, doesn’t that mean that the cannibal clan you were tending to were aristocrats?

Su Minshan: How else would they afford to farm humans?

Jin Guangyao: As disturbing as all of this is, I have to ask, how did you become a Lan disciple?

Su Minshan: By accident. I was mistaken for a student because I was cleaning really good one day, and It would be wrong to correct my superiors so that’s how I became a disciple. 

Jin Guangyao: ....

Mo Xuanyu: .....

Xue Yang: ....How fuckin’ dare you.

I watched Record of Ragnarok Season 2, and Jack the Ripper turned out to be Meng Yao if his mother didn’t love him back.

Made this Masterpiece🤩😍.

Sadly I can't post it on tiktok because of the resolution.

She (涉)/She (蛇)

So someone on twitter years ago tried to make a dig at Su She for have the given name She (涉 -  wade) as being similar to She (蛇 - snake) because the Twins of Jade were considered to be dragons and snakes were considered to be their inferior counterpart. Even though both characters have different sounds and characters, so they’re nothing alike except for how its spelled in English and that’s even a stretch.

But then now it’s making me go down a rabbit hole because you can pack so much symbolism into Su She that it isn’t even funny. I’m trying to give this man a backstory, and just his name alone is making me go from having him be a basic son of a noble to him becoming a complete foreigner from a completely different country in the Far East of Russia.

Like you have to understand that yes She can mean snake which is inferior to dragons, but dragons are actually made of nine parts from nine different animals. “Dragons were described visually as a composite of parts from nine animals: the horns of a deer, head of a camel, eyes of the devil, neck of a snake, abdomen of a large cockle, scales of a carp, claws of an eagle, paws of a tiger and ears of an ox.”

And you know what the NECK IS IN CHAKRA LANGUAGE. The neck is basically a throat and a nape, and the throat is the blue sound chakra. Blue and sound basically relates to the Lan sect, and as Avatar has taught us, it deals with truth and is blocked by lies. 

And I’m like, what does Su She have to lie about. I mean there was the whole Hundred Hole situation which is a lie of omission technically, but then again, we don’t actually know what happened in the background, and it wasn’t like the Jins were advertising it to look for the one responsible (Also totally think that Jin Zixun was the one who tried to curse Su She but it backfired on him, and he blamed the Yiling Patriarch out of denial. It just didn’t make sense for a new founding Sect leader to literally risk his life over being bullied when he had real responsibilities and not out of nowhere. This is literally after a war, so Su She had to be too busy trying to build a sect. Compared to Zixun who had no responsibilities and an actual superiority/inferiority complex.)

And that’s how Far East Russia got into the conversation because I joked about him having the worst backstory, but now I’m like what if the entirety of Su She was a lie. He’s not a Lan disciple or even a native in the Jianghu. He’s a straight up foreigner from a mystical land of snow who survived a genocide, a war, and its aftermath before being fostered into the Lan sect as a secret refugee since he’s still being hunted down for genocide.

And because he’s a target, so much of who he actually is down to an ethnic biological level has to be hidden away. He literally can’t afford to be unique or to stand out, so he becomes invisible in a whole different world. 

But yeah, that’s the gist of how I’m trying to shape Su She. 

I mean for everyone else, their backgrounds are:

Meng Yao - Born of a brothel worker and Jin Guangshan. His mother was formerly a daughter of a scholar in the North Western countries, but after an uprising, she was human trafficked and sold at Yunping. Hence why she knew how to act like a noble lady with ease, and why Meng Yao has “distinct pupils” and other light features (not from his father, dammit donghua). His mother was tricked by Jin Guangshan into thinking he would buy her freedom because she was wistful for the life she had before. Yet came to accept her fate after she no longer sees him for two years. Falls in love with Sisi who raises Meng Yao with her. Meng Yao helps around the brothel and does odd jobs throughout Yunping to raise money, learn new skills, or earn materials. Accidentally helps a member of the underworld who promises to buy his mothers’ freedom after they achieve their ambitions. However, the stairs incident happens, Sisi is murdered by a jealous wife, Meng Shi has a stroke from the news and becomes a vegetable before they can fulfill their promise. So instead the underworld member provides Meng Yao with other needs which give Meng Yao the experience and intellect to become the formidable natural strategist he’s come to be known for during the war. Finds Xue Yang around the time, and Meng Shi dies a few years later, Meng Yao goes to Koi Tower out of guilt and grief, and then spends the rest of the years living in another city in Lanling with Xue Yang. Meets Jin Zixuan and his dog and become close brothers secretly.  

(My main idea with Meng Yao is that despite his background, he actually had a lot of opportunities and access to greater things because of his high emotional intelligence and visionary ideas. However, bound by familial love to his mothers, Zixuan and his other brothers, he takes on the responsibility of taking on riskier positions for the sake of their survival. Achieving the impossible everyday despite the obstacles yet burdened with the immense consequences of his loved ones’ choices and actions.)

Xue Yang - Is actually from the Wen royal family from his mother’s side, but because of a dispute/misunderstanding between Wen Ruohan and his father, his whole family and his father’s clan was killed off. Xue Yang was able to survive because his mother had him hidden in the kitchen oven, and was left wandering southward as an orphan. Tragic losing pinky story happens, and he further travels East until he meets Meng Yao who takes care of him until the war happens. Ends up joining the underworld through Meng Yao’s contacts where he’s trained to be specializing in cruel and unusual interrogation and assassination, but is played off as simply a delinquent on the surface.

(With Xue Yang, the main word is “simple”, hence why he has the shortest background summary. Out of everyone in the Villainous Quartet, Xue Yang is the one to not overthink things, sees things just as they clearly are, and is able to differentiate the lies from the truth. He’s the one Jin Guangyao trusts the most to pick who he should befriend because despite his social etiquette and high emotional intelligence, Meng Yao is actually highly untrustworthy of others for that reason. Xue Yang and Su Minshan being the only exceptions. Mo Xuanyu met Xue Yang first so he’s a special case. Furthermore, I made Xue Yang a Wen because it just seems right.)

Mo Xuanyu - Born from a concubine’s teenage daughter and Jin Guangshan. Had a relatively good life for the first four years of his childhood when Jin Guangshan would visit his mother, but after Meng Yao’s stairs incident, Jin Guangshan abandoned them. Xuanyu’s mother and him were then abused by their relatives, which drove his mother to develop a mental illness where she ends up abusing Xuanyu, too. His social growth is stunted, but he remains intelligent and creative by spending all his time buried in books. Most of them about horror and taboos, so he doesn’t feel alone in his situation. Almost ten years later, he’s found by Xue Yang (the reason varies depending on the story, but main storyline is to find a Jin heir after Jin Zixuan’s death and turn them into an ally), and this leads to meeting Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao, and being designated for an important role. Xuanyu holds no resentment for Meng Yao’s indirect cause of his abuse, and instead finds solace in his brother’s kindness. No incestuous feelings sprouted, but Xuanyu’s odd intimate behavior is due to the lack of love from home (e.g. kissing Jin Guangyao square on the lips because he was told that it was something you do with someone you love, not realizing the person meant love “romantically” and not “platonically”). Jin Guangyao would’ve made sure Xuanyu wouldn’t display it in public for the sake of their reputations, especially considering his marriage, but there may have been a situation where a misunderstanding had led to an incestuous accusation, and Xuanyu played the (disturbingly convincing) insane person to protect Jin Guangyao’s reputation. Also, he doesn’t spend all his time in the shed. He has puppets that he keeps in a hidden storage to take his place, and created the mask to hide the imperfections.

(Now for Mo Xuanyu, he’s definitely the baby of the group, being 10 whole years younger than Meng Yao. My constant idea for him is that he’s the oddest and darkest among the four (the Goth basically) where he surpasses Wei Wuxian in demonic cultivation with ease because he truly embraces the romanticism of death and darkness. When she’s more socially adjusted, she realizes she’s transgendered, and after accepting and transitioning, she becomes more vibrant and feminine (Perky Goth), and her and Xue Yang are more in sync like twins when she is. In the main storyline sadly, Xuanyu doesn’t come to this realization because he has to be the Xuanyu that society is familiar with for Jin Guangyao’s sake so he never digs deeper into what will make him feel identified.)

For Su Minshan, I want him to be the most unordinary person because he seems like such an ordinary person. With the other three Villainous members, they are misunderstood by their intentions, but people are not completely off the mark. But with Su Minshan, he’s misunderstood ENTIRELY, which is why I’m in a rabbit hole. 🐇🕳🐍🐉

Meet the sword Spirit trio⚔️🗡

(A fanfic is soon to come btw.)

Hensheng

Jgys soft sword.

She's like Jiangzai and Nanping's spiritual sister.

◇◇

Hensheng is very cute, sweet and friendly. But she becomes harsh when someone insults her wielder.

She's really clingy towards jgy, and loves to hug his waist and wrist.

In addition, she has a crush on Shuoyue and Liebing.

Other than them, she's fond of her wielder. She won't call it a crush because she believes that the word *crush* is too lowly for the attraction she has towards him.

When Hensheng is with jgy, she feels like she has a purpose, and doesn't have to hate life (like her wielder) again.

Jiangzai.

Xy's sword

He basically acts like xue yang but more chaotic.

Jiangzai loves provoking Nanping. Well not only Nanping, but anyone he wants to harass.

Jiangzai is a fun loving spirit, who never wants to stay in one place.

He says that he hasn't tried candy before because xue yang eats most of it.

Jiangzai is like xue yang's younger brother he never had.

(He's secretly dating Shuanghua)

Not to mention that Jiangzai us hotttt.

Nanping

Su she's sword.

Nanping is very loyal and protective, and values others.

He loves his master, as well as his master's master.

Nanping is always supportive towards his spiritual sis, Hensheng, whereas he tries not to qi deviate whenever Jiangzai opens his mouth.

Other than that, deep down, he cares about Jiangzai, and would protect him if he's in any trouble.

Like his wielder, he doesn't like the Lans and their weapons. Even though his beloved sis has a crush on them.

Nanping is literally the opposite of Jiangzai's chaotic personality.

⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
