the new stuff has arrived!!!!

[Reversed AU] The Four Great Calamities/supremes. Special thanks you to t_aera on AO3 For the names/titles of each ghost king/supreme!

shoutout to mei nianqing for accepting jun wu's war crimes and atrocities but despising mu qing for being a peasant. not even this dude's priorities are straight wow

I have a feeling that when the short tgcf film or tgcf s3 drop and its xianle trio arc that people are simp after mei nianqing SO BAD

my guess is that Feng Xin and Mu Qing seeing the State Preceptor at jun wu’s palace was like the equivalent of seeing your middle school or high school teacher in the wild while grocery shopping or something

Bro is playing Go Fish with paper dolls while being held hostage

I know that now is not the time for this, but everyone in this series is absolutely gorgeous. Like I’m learning about the horrors of the fall of the Wuyong Kingdom, but am being met with some of the most beautiful faces I’ve ever seen.

Imagine your handwriting skills getting dragged by your husband’s teacher.

Now is NOT tue time for kissing you guys. Your friends are like actively dying and you are in the middle of a battle.

So like he just stopped? He admitted defeat so easily after his ex husband said bro you lost, like pack it up and let’s go.

this but with Jun Wu and Mei Nianqing

i’m sorry

I think it so would be funny if someone drew the tgcf characters as the different people in the Alexander and the horrible terrible no good very bad day movie poster

Some memes cause I’m moving in and my pinterest is blessing me with text posts

Breaking News: Local man kins 17 year old boy so much he becomes evil

I'm not getting to writing out the story for this WIP this year or probably the next (too much other stuff going on) so I want to put this out there somehow.

My mental nickname for it is 'TGCF Vertical Reversal AU'.

Instead of the more 'traditional roleswaps' (God/Calamity) it switches the places of Xianle and Wuyong on the timeline.

Jun Wu, thrice ascended as a martial god, god of disasters and misfortune, god of broken things. Generally way more hissy and spiteful than Xie Lian in canon. Also not very good at hiding the fact that he is constantly five seconds away from losing it.

Mei Nianqing the ~mysterious~ ghost king, infamous for his cartomancy, knowledge of the future and ability to manipulate dreams and fate.

The three unnamed vassals as gods who ascended after breaking up with Jun Wu.

Xie Lian as the Heavenly Emperor, as kind as he is strong, and oh so fucking tired. Constantly trying to parent all the other gods. also he gets to have pet tigers because I said so.

Hua Cheng as the gambling-addict State Preceptor of Wuyong. Responsible for Jun Wu's first encounter with the possibility of death. Currently trying to avert Xie Lian's rube goldberg suicide attempt.

Fengqing as powerful weather spirits in the territory of Mount Taicang. Mu Qing, a snow spirit known as Greed and Feng Xin, a wind spirit known as Ignorance (Hua Cheng is Anger). The names are referring to the three sources of mental suffering, as counter to the sources of physical suffering- Birth, Death, Sickness and Old Age (MNQ + the three mountain spirits). Hua Cheng is the old man shouting at clouds.

Mount Taicang and Mount Tonglu also switch narrative roles.

Mount Tonglu as a spiritually significant place for the kingdom of Wuyong, and also the place where the royal tomb is- 'in the fire we were born, to the fire we return'.

Mount Taicang as the ghost king trial location, though it isn't a volcano- think more Shinsenkyo from Hell's Paradise, a forested mountain overgrown with flowers, swarming with deadly insects and strange beasts- vaguely inspired by the wording of 'Body in Abyss, Heart in Paradise', a place of overwhelming beauty seemingly designed to harm you in every possible way.

The actual plot of this is less 'Xie Lian trying to force Jun Wu to become his successor by putting him through the Horrors and revealing Heaven's corruption' and more 'Xie Lian trying to ensure there is someone reliable in place to take over when he finally gets to kill himself, and cleaning house as a side benefit'.

But here's the thing. The deal with Mount Taicang is that it's the place where Xie Lian has imprisoned all of the Worst Things Ever, and the wards will fail if he dies. His power is the only thing keeping the Heavens afloat and a dozen other things functioning. The world is falling apart at the seams and is being held together with Xie Lian's lifeforce as duct tape.

Xie Lian is so, so tired.

And well, it isn't like anyone would really care if he died.

Care about the real him.

So, he plans to pass on the duties of maintaining the functional state of the world and finally find his rest.

Then his favorite child comes in and starts trying to beat some self-worth and appreciation for life into him.

Then everyone else shows up, including his old friends and the one who his heart betrayed him for.

And in the end, one person is enough.

I am 100% down to talk about this stuff if anyone shows any interest!
