STOP LETTING AI ROB YOU OF YOUR PATIENCE

STOP LETTING AI ROB YOU OF YOUR CREATIVITY

STOP LETTING AI ROB YOU OF YOUR FLUENCY

STOP LETTING AI ROB YOU OF EVERYTHING THAT MADE YOU COOL AND INTERESTING AND MADE LIFE WORTH LIVING

Xue Yang. The novel doesn't state that he's dead and as two demonic cultivators living in and around Golden Carp Tower, the possibility that they met is nonzero.

Jin Guangshan isn't above using his children as tools, so he could have made Mo Xuanyu follow an unorthodox path in private. Mo Xuanyu was also often secluded from the reat of the sect and thus could have successfully been cultivating the demonic path without anyone knowing.

Does Xue Yang have a reason to interact with him? Maybe, but it is possible.

Does Xue Yang have and overarching longing for connection that is vital to his character? Yeah.

Is Mo Xuanyu a near perfect candidate for a source of connection in this context? YEAH.

So I either have

A. a really long time to continue being attached to them like a parental figure before transitioning to, 'yeah, we could be friends territory,' and by then I'll be healthy enough to let go of them in an emotionally stable way.

OR

Let's fix that :)

What if Mu Qing had chromesthesia? (A kind of synesthesia where sounds tigger color or vision)

What if to him, Xie Lian sounded bright gold? In every word he said, Mu Qing could see how he had been spoiled and buried in finery from the day he was born. Even after his banishment, his voice kept it's shine, painting itself across the plaza where they'd busk for meager amounts of food. When they met again, eight-hundred years later, he wasn't gold anymore, he was just a soft yellow. But it was oppressive all the same, just waiting to glisten in the sun once more.

What if to him, Feng Xin sounded orange? Mu Qing never particularly liked orange, though there was never anything wrong with the color itself. It was always too bright on somebody like Feng Xin. Too bright for somebody content to spend their life painting their voice a duller shade, just to remain close to somebody they treasured so dearly. Only after their ascensions, independent of any master, did the color truly suit him.

I ALSO want to write an au where SY is blind so maybe I could combine them... not sure who will steal MQF's precious baby brother from him tho. My heart says either SJ or YQY because they're ny fave disaster men to write about. Hmmm I bet I could even do both?? MY suddenly finds himself as the hinge in the most unstable 3 way of all time.

MY, crushed between YQY and SJ's chests: how did this happen

MQF, after catching LQG being a little to rough with his baby brother for his liking: Oh dear, how sad, Liu-shidi won't be allowed to go adventuring alone for a few weeks. Such a shame, he'll have to stay in the sect and do his... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE BRINGING MY BROTHER WITH YOU?!

LQG with MY on his shoulders, probably both covered in blood: he asked nicely

Like last year, we'll have one where The Wheel selects random former contestants to compete, and one where YQY's former direct competitors will compete.
