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
Desperately in need a fic where Shen Yuan wakes up back in his old body/world to find that PIDW has changed. Like, everything that happened to him and that he changed, altered the web novel. Even better if it's a family member that tells him about it.
SY's sister: I finally read that web novel that you were ranting about
Fresh out of the hospital SY: Huh?
SY's sister: Yeah, Proud Immortal Demon Way
SY: Oh... what did you think? It's terrible right?
SY's sister: I actually liked it, not too found of the teacher student dynamic but it works. Though I'm surprised you would read a BL...
SY realizing that his life got turned into a public book: what?
SY's sister: I did think that the whole "papapa to save the world" trope at the end was ridiculous though
SY realizing that his first time was written down and open for public viewing:
Edit: I was going to write a fiction about this but ao3 took way too long to approve my account. Anyway, I don't have motivation anymore :/
Shen Yuan trying to convince himself he's still straight (Shang Qinghua is not impressed)
Someone said something similar thing on another post but Bingmei probably has a better foundation. Considering that he got a much better and healthier childhood/training. He didn't have to learn everything himself.
Also, (as someone mentioned in the tags) he's probably more mentally there
Bingmei isn't less powerful, dangerous or ale to intimidate than Bingge is, he just retained his ability to see people as people and be genuinely kind and loving.
Just because he shows vulnerability to SQQ, the man he loves and trusts, doesn't mean he isn't just as able to be ruthless, violent, and cut-throat cunning when he needs to be.
IMO Binghe of SV being able to be more of a whole person, not having to pretend to be invulnerable and adhere to toxic masculine values all the time, while still being just as strong and capable and as Bingge (and healthier and happier too) is the point.
Bingge is the more "pathetic" of the two.
This might be incoherent and not make any sense because I'm just trying to get this down. For now all I have right now is just Xie Lain and not any other tgcf cast but I'll deal with that later.
Sometime during the end of Xie Lian's 2nd banishment he ends up in the ocean. Originally the plan was just to help some fisherman in exchange for food but a storm hit (just his luck) and he got thrown overboard. Next thing he knows he's waking up on the shore of an unfamiliar land
Logically this makes no sense and considering the world building differences in gods and monsters (ghosts too ig) that tgcf and epic are two separate worlds that Xie Lian just so happens to cross over.
Now for convenience I'm just going to say that Telemachus finds him when returning from some diplomatic mission (not the one from hold them down, we're not that far). Now while I do want XL and Athena to meet, Athena hasn't met telemachus yet. So, Telemachus (somehow) recognizes that Xie Lian is some kind of swordsman (even though he stopped using a sword after what happened in Yong-An, just role with it) and asks Xie Lian if he will train him in exchange for a place to stay. Xie Lian reluctantly agrees because, well, it's been a while since he had a decent meal
Cut to a little bit later (little wolf), Telemachus can hold his own a bit better then in cannon but Athena still steps in and along with quick thought and the bit of training from xl, Telemachus holds his own for a lot longer... though of course some other suitors step in because why would they ever fight fair. So, in steps Xie Lian and they actually win the scuffle (we'll say it wasn't a big group of suitors).
I don't think XL has been there long enough to already get into a fight and I think he knows that if he does try and fight them that it will end pretty bloody
Athena talk to both Telemachus and XL, intrigued by this mysterious fighter who looks to be younger then the prince yet masterfully skilled. I think Athena and Xie Lian would 100% get along, feeling rather similar in the failed teacher aspect. I do also believe that they would exchange information about each others worlds and Athena would convince XL that he should pick up a sword again (I like swords and I like Xie Lian, sue me)
Somewhere down the line XL is able to convince some suitors to become guards instead. They're faith in Antinous bruised after seeing him get beat up by the prince and some random teenager. Perhaps XL even convinces them that Penelope won't ever love them.
Hold them down and Odysseus still happen except they're a lot less because one, Ody has allies and two, less suitors
You might be wondering how XL gets back to his own world. Well, after OdyPen is reunited and safe (no more naughty suitors), Xie Lian’s work is done, he's not exactly needed, which becomes the catalyst first his third ascension (Don't worry about the logistics of Xie Lian ascending to his worlds heaven while in another world.)
For now that's all I got, perhaps more things happen that cause other tgcf cast members to end up in Epic, perhaps the story just goes on as it is without anymore mention of it outside of how it affected xl (and hence affected cannon)
I totally love the idea of this greatly affecting cannon somehow bur it not even coming up until well into post cannon
Hua Cheng trying to get out of calligraphy practice (xl isn't letting him flirt his way out but he knows how much his husband loves talking about swords): The craftsmanship of Gege's sword is very unique, would he perhaps te me where it's from?
Xie Lian: Oh, a goddess from another world gifted it to me
Hua Cheng:
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...
BinggeYuan is just Veronica and JD from Heathers to me
I headcanon that sometimes certain things will trigger very vivid flashbacks to Shen Qingqiu's (Shen Yuan's) past world.
One second he's navigating an unusually dense crowd of people during some kind of festival; the next second hes walking in a big city (we'll say Shanghai just bc) with all the lights and the people
He descending the stairs in a stone tower (probably some investigation about people in a nearby village going missing) and the next thing he knows he's in the stairwell in his apartment because the elevator broke
He splashes water on his face one morning and for a second he's back in his apartment's bathroom. His vision blury because he doesn't have his glasses, not just because he has water in his eyes
One day he's getting lectured about without a cure by Mu Qingfang, he blinks and his martial brother is suddenly a modern doctor (yes I head cannon sy as having a clinical illness like most of the fandom)
He's pouring over documents and paperwork with Binghe and suddenly he's studying for exams (or doing hw) with his college roommate
I think a lot about this
Post cannon SQQ thinking that either the demon court has just gotten used to him or have become more tolerant towards humans (either by exposure or LBQ's blood)
In reality, after seeing Consort Shen avoid many different kidnapping (or really any wife plot) attempts that he is the same type of human that Mobei Jun's human is. Both "humans" have ridiculous amounts of knowledge that they shouldn't have. They already clocked it from the northern advisor years ago. They talk strongly around each other and have form of platonic flirting (insulting each other).
They have seen/interacted with other humans, and they don't act like that. So, while they have gotten a bit more tolerant about humans, they don't think of either as humans.
I imagine that Shen Yuan probably took care of his younger sister alot. Mostly because it's most likely that he was home the most and his parents + older brothers were most likely busy a lot.
Its to my belief that he was silently thanking his parents for that post transmigration because he knows more "feminine" things because of her (that are the norm in his new setting). I just imagine him braiding Luo Binghe's hair and remembering that he learned to braid because his sister liked to wear her hair in one. Shen Yuan picking out color coordinated outfits because his sister would always rant about it when she needed someone to take her shopping (she wasn't aloud on her own and sy was available). I also feel like he would be totally understandable if any of his female decibels asked to sit out because of cramps (unlike some male teachers)
Idk I just feel like SY would be close to his sister and that would give him a few advantages
