It is what it is but like. Can it be something else
Some Shen Yuan Toddler AU:
What if Shen Yuan suddenly poofed into existence as a toddler in PIDW after he died?
Like, no system (because I don’t see how that would help or whatever…).
He just suddenly fell into the middle of an important Cang Qiong Peak Lord Meeting and stopped the arguing with his sudden appearance.
Everyone just freezes at the sight of some toddler sitting in the middle of their table looking dazed and confused. Everyone’s minds are going in different directions:
LQG: Demon baby!! Must kill!!
SQH: SYSTEMM!!!! THIS DIDNT HAPPEN IN MY NOVELLL!!! DONT TAKE MY POINTSSS!! THIS WASNT MY FAULTTTT!!!
SQQ: Where did this… thing… come from???
Then after the initial shock, MQF checks for injuries and demonic qi, WQW’s sword also being used to check for anything they can’t detect.
Then after all of the testing they just settle on the story the kid told them. (Which was mainly bullshitting so he doesn’t get killed.) it basically summarizes to a demon attacking his village and the demon hitting him with magic and him appearing here the next minute. (He tells them his parents died so that they don’t try and return him to some nonexistent parents)
And I imagine after that all of the peak lords slowly become more and more attached to their chronically ill mystery toddler and now all of the disciples are witnessing the Peak Lords act like divorcees who are still fighting a custody battle.
Also, I think that Shen Yuan appears a couple years before Binghe does. So when Shen yuan meets a cute little bun waiting to join Cang Qiong a few years later, he tells his guardians about him. Which makes them go into protective mode immediately.
I believe in the end there are 3 most likely candidates for Shen Yuan’s custody:
YQY: He is the sect leader….
SQH: He and the kid found out they are from the same hometown! Plus, they can speak the same language and can communicate easily!
MQF: Our poor baby has a chronic illness!! He needs to be under constant surveillance!
SQQ is close 4th, but he just isn’t that great with kids.
(The way I would kill for a fic of this, but I’m too lazy… actually… I might… idk, don’t hold me to it.)
I feel like i need to say this where i can be judged for it so i can be sure i understand, because no one ever mentions it when they tell you to ‘be the bigger person’, but Being the bigger person isn’t about being more mature than whoever you’re arguing with, its about not letting yourself turn into the type of person you wouldn’t want to spend time with or hang out around. Don’t be the type of person you’d only befriend begrudgingly. Don’t ever stop trying to be the type of person you’d want to talk with.
This only occurred to me last reread but, oh well.
In the beginning of BSD the mafia do the shootout in the agency and everyone is fine, obviously, Yosano is there. Guess who isn't?
Dazai.
He is always in random places, randomizing his pattern of movement. The cafe, the dorms, the agency, the city, the graveyard, bars. It always seemed as just simple laziness, which yeah checks out, but Dazai is the only ADA member who would actually be killed in a shootout like that. And since we are told the mafia have been to known to cause such scuffles for ADA in the past, it only makes sense for the one ADA member who cannot be magically healed to move around and never be in the office when everyone else is or too often in general.
I've never seen this mentioned anywhere, it is definitely not a new take, but what do you think?
AHHHHH SEITCH DRAWINGS CHALLANGE W @thegreattowncrier
for danmei doodle requests, how about bingge using shen yuan as a chew toy? 👀
SY pretends he hates the marks (but we all know he loves it lmao) Thanks for the rq!! :D
[ID: A Scum Villain Doodle. Shen Yuan dressed in a hanfu that is slipping down his shoulders sits in Luo Bingge's lap, looking away from him with a very flushed and flustered nervous expression. His neck and shoulders are covered in hickeys and bite marks. Gnawing on his shoulder is LBG looking up at SY with a sultry look as his arms wrap around his waist. End ID]
