lady_ganeshThank you for creating for me! As you'll see in my other letters, I try to be very careful to pick canons where I'll be equally thrilled to get something, so if I say more about one canon than another it's just because I was particularly rambly about it that day. I am going to be putting prompts below the cut today (I swear!) but they are very much just starting points, ignore them at will.
Art treats are welcome! I love them but I'm very bad at prompting for them.
Under the Cut: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, The Untamed, Weiss Kreuz
The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Sha Hualing & Mobei-jun and Luo Binghe; Mobei-jun/Shang Qinghua; Sha Hualing/Liu Mingyan.
I fell in love with this canon in 2025. A man falls into someone else's shitty webnovel and has to fix the plot holes and try for a happy ending. Everyone's an absolute maniac. No one can communicate. It's aces.
I just really like Sha Hualing, especially as I was re-reading, and I'd love to see her getting into some shenanigans with her weird gay pals or the #1 RPF writer in the cultivation world. She's smart and sexy and not above cheating to get what she wants, and Liu Mingyan is more honorable and outwardly respectable and also...the #1 RPF writer. What are they up to while the rest of the plot is lumbering along? (I also read a post-canon fic where she was trying to build up her own harem since clearly Luo Binghe and Mobei-jun weren't up to the task and I find that a delightful idea.)
I have a lot of questions about Liu Mingyan too! How does she see her hobby/vocation, is she more of a gun for hire like Airplane? What makes her fall in love when she doesn't have a revenge wife plot guiding her choices?
I also love Mobei-jun and his abandonment issues and his gruff exterior and, like Airplane, I'm not immune to how big and buff and awesome he is. His relationship with SQH is such a mess and also so? weirdly? romantic? They're both survivors against near-impossible odds and can also be so very, very, clueless, especially about each other.
And Luo Binghe is both the overpowered protagonist who gets what he wants in the end and also a sad scared little guy who just wants to be loved. I'm always eager for non-Shen Yuan takes on him.
I just think they're all neat!
I'm happy to have more of the extended cast show up if the plot leads you there. They're all so ridiculous and fun.
I am pretty neutral about most of the information from the new extras; the one thing I don't like is the idea that the world isn't entirely Airplane's sloppy and demented creation. (I do like Mobei-jun coming through the computer screen and Airplane having to talk him down, though.)
Prompts! Behind the scenes nonsense in the demon world. Do rules change for demon-cultivator relationships after LBH/SQQ get together/married? Do our demon friends want them to? What was the cleanup like after all the events of canon, or the extremely awkward diplomacy? What happens the first time Mobei-jun tries to cook noodles?
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. (Dubcon, especially sex pollen and the like is fine, it is Scum Villain after all.)
The Untamed
Jiang Cheng & Nie Huaisang, Jiang Cheng/Nie Huaisang, Jiang Cheng/Nie Mingjue
::taps the side of canon:: You can fit so much trauma in this baby. (I do have to concede that, while it's not as comedic as Scum Villain, it can also be very funny, and I very much enjoy that.)
Nie Mingjue is inflexible but caring, he believes in justice, he had to grow up way too soon; Nie Huaisang just wanted to paint and faff around, but then his brother went and died on him and revenge became a much bigger priority. But even with the additional information about them in Fatal Journey, we don't know a lot about what their day-to-day relationship was like before things started getting bad, how frustrated NMJ was with his brother the first two times he didn't pass at Cloud Recesses...you get the idea.
And then there's Jiang Cheng, who we mostly see having some of the worst fucking days of his life. Seriously, there's a handful of times pre-flashback where someone around him isn't getting punished or killed. No wonder he's always on his last nerve. He loves his family to the point of self-sacrifice but doesn't want anyone to know about it.
So there's kind of a lot of room to play with all three of these characters.
I've talked before about how much I like NHS and JC together, the way they push against each other, the way that relationship can go light or dark both during and post-canon (you can see my previous entries here, my opinion hasn't changed), both platonically and not-so-platonically. With NMJ, I like the idea of Jiang Cheng having someone older who actually approves of him. The bit where NMJ tells both WWX and JC that he's heard they've done well at Cloud Recesses and they both light up...that's the stuff. Jiang Cheng could use a gruff older guy to approve of him. I think it would be nice.
If you want both JC/NMJ and JC/NHS I am very much down with that, but I don't want NHS and NMJ to be jealous. They can be weird about each other but not that way.
Prompts! NMJ and JC working together during Sunshot: what their brother and not-brother don't know won't hurt them. (Does NHS know anyway? Who can say.) The Jiang and Nie sects working together in the uncertain time post-Sunshot/after WWX's death. NHS and JC trying to figure out a path forward post-canon. Problems that may only be solved through dual cultivation, perhaps.
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. No explicit sexual content with the characters pre-Cloud Recesses (or that age if you go AU). Please do not kill NMJ in the course of a story (it's okay if he's dead in a future or canon-set fic).
Weiss Kreuz
Omi/Yohji, Omi/Nagi
Oh, this fucking show. It's so bad, it's so fun. Every member of Weiss makes, just, terrible choices. And then there are Yohji and Omi, who are probably most and least culpable when the story ends (Yohji is the oldest, Omi was baby when he started killing). So I love the idea of already well on the road to hell Yohji thinking that they're both halfway there, so why not take what he wants, if what he wants is this pretty-faced borderline jailbait who very much wants him back? So yeah, that's it, that's the appeal.
I've talked about Omi and Nagi so much that I have a fucking ship manifesto for them (which I just realized I'll need to move over here, huh). I blab about them a lot in the Trick or Treat request that's adjacent to this one. I never get tired of them, I love fresh takes.
Prompts! For Nagi and Mamoru: However the fuck they started working together between Kapitel and Gluehen. How do they handle the 2020s? Do they end up in a comfortable position of power or is it the same shit over and over? I will never say no to sex with telekinetic powers.
For Omi and Yohji: Casefic. Yohji saying too much one night when he stumbles home drunk. Omi getting drunk and saying too much. Post-canon, Yohji getting his memories back, or Mamoru stumbling over a Yohji who doesn't remember him. Or thinks he looks just a little bit familiar...
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse (it is okay if you have a non-explicit reference to something bad happening to one of the characters in their past ubut I do not want it to be a focus). No explicit sexual content with the characters under their canon ages in Gluehen (so ~17 for Nagi).
