I think SVSSS would be so much funnier if Shen Yuan can hear soundtracks. just.
He walks in a room and hear the ambient music suddenly turning ominous, immediately grabs Liu Qingge and turns around while thinking "Nope, nu-uh, not this way! Go back that way— WHERE DID THE DOOR GO?"
Just talking with Luo Binghe and maybe looking at him a little to long when he suddenly hears romantic music and being so confused because where even is Luo Binghe's future wive(s)? Why is there romantic music??
In a mystery mission and trying to find out who the suspect of [x] crime is only to hear subtle liet motifs pertaining to one character throughout the day so he only needs to bullshit evidence, but then he overthinks it and go "wait, if I were in a movie this obvious use of telling lief motif could just be a red herring and they might not be the perpetrator..."
Shen Yuan having a quick reaction time only because he can hear battle music or strange sudden tense silences even before something happens because obviously that means a jumpscare is coming
Talking to Yue Qingyuan and having those sad nostalgic dead wife music suddenly playing LMFAOOO
Grieving music after he pushed down Luo Binghe into the abyss and he's still in denial about being sad because of course he is
that's it, that's all I can think about. Evan Buckley with his long ass legs and fine physique, dressed in white tights and ballet shoes, gracefully and solemnly dipping a ballerina during a seat-packed performance like as shown. I dunno bro, I have no clue how ballet even works but damn, what an image. imagine him dipping Eddie like that.
Svsss but it’s a Road to El Dorado style AU where cumplane accidentally convinces everyone that they’re gods because they Know Things™️ and have to tread the fine line between being killed/imprisoned for tricking the sect and being thrown back to the modern world by the system for revealing too much

"Cucumber-bro!" Shang Qinghua whispered fiercely, pounding on the door. "Bro, open up!"
He smiled nervously at an An Ding disciple peering at him from behind a stack of scrolls. Upon seeing the disciple's eyes widen, he quickly blanked his face, though he continued to sweat nervously.
Right, he wasn't allowed to do anything but stare menacingly or smirk right now, while in this body.
Finally, the door opened a crack and a hand reached out to grab him by the robes, pulling him inside. Shang Qinghua quickly smoothed out his now-crumpled green robes and looked up, coming face to face with... himself.
"Shang Qinghua. What the fuck did you do?" Shen Qingqiu asked, hazel eyes flashing.
"That won't help you," A voice said from behind him, thin and lilting.
Shen Yuan nearly screamed in frustration and threw down the talismans he had been trying to activate with the drops of qi he had left. He had known that it wouldn't work, especially when the characters on them were barely even legible anymore, but he couldn't help but try. His blood had smeared them when he had collapsed onto the ground earlier, exhausted of everything he had and then some.
He had managed to crawl to a copse of trees and sat up against a tree trunk to figure something out, but it was futile.
"You're scared."
Shen Yuan shook his head desperately as if to rid his head of the voice that seemed to pierce his ears, tears spilling down his cheeks, before nodding just as furiously. "Of course I'm scared! I'm terrified. Don't you know how your story ends?"
"I do know. This one has lived it, again and again," The ghost of Shen Jiu said, tilting his head, face eerily blank. He didn't blink. He never did. "This one was due to relive it, for as long as it takes. That is, until you took my place. But it doesn't matter anymore."
"It doesn't matter anymore? You would say that," Shen Yuan said. He was beginning to feel a numbness overtake him, and thumped his head against the tree trunk behind him to try to snap back to himself. He couldn't float away now. Shen Jiu wouldn't be able to take over for him. It was too close to the finale. "You're already dead! And I'm still here. So what do you fucking know? "
"Not much, I admit." Shen Jiu floated closer, reaching out to him. "But I know that you can no longer run. And I was right, wasn't I?"
"What are you even talking about?" Shen Yuan picked up the sounds of movement in the far distance. It sounded like the footsteps of a person. Of multiple people. They were looking for him. And he had left an entire trail of blood, leading right to him.
"I told you, in the beginning, to make sure you knew what you were doing. And I told you that even if you hide"—an icy hand sunk into his chest—"it doesn't go away."
SQQ: "Fuck, I think I got hit with some sex pollen--"
SQH: "My clothes are off and I'm coming over to your place."
I was just imagining this absolutely ridiculous scenario but:
thinking of buck and Eddie time travelling back to the first day they met, like maybe a few seconds right as they lock eyes when Bobby is introducing them. so enough time to comprehend what's going on but like,,, they can't do anything about it
and Buck cuts Bobby off and goes "Eddie!!!" and Eddie's like "Buck???" and they kind of just run towards each other and crash into a hug, just squeezing like crazy and laughing.
And Buck's like holding Eddie's face in his hands and turning his head every which way like "Omg you look so young and cute" and Eddie's just laughing like "you're one to talk, you literally look like a baby" while tangling his fingers in buck's hair because it's no longer as curly as it was later because of how buck styled it and he never got to touch it before at this point
and there's a cough behind them and they let go of each other, but they're still kind of wrapped around each other and the entire crew is just staring at them like "what the fuck"
and buck is a fucking troll and gives this shit eating grin and goes "let me introduce you to Eddie Diaz, my absolute best friend and the father of the child of my heart" and he's not joking but he jsut wanted to see people's faces
before his eyes kinda go wide and he turns back to Eddie like, "wait, do you think chris remembers me?" since apparently they've gone back in time???? no one else in the room seems like they did, so did anyone else??? what if chris looks at him like a stranger after he's been co-parenting him for years?
Eddie just shrugs, unbothered, and goes, "I have no clue but even if he doesn't, I'm sure he'll love you just as much as the first time you met. you're his buck" and buck visibly takes psychic damage and nearly crumbles because he loves his little family
anyways, throughout this entire thing, everyone is just not sure what to think, because? apparently buck knows this new guy, and they've never heard of him before? and they're all over each other and they seem to have been raising a kid together at some point? what's even going on?
every time Buck or Eddie opens their mouth for the rest of the shift, it's just more lore drop. people are tryna put pieces together on how they met or what their relationship is. they deny that they ever dated when asked but Eddie, from where he's laying on buck's lap goes, "but we do get that a lot, don't we?" and buck's nodding like there's nothing strange going on
shift ends with buck automatically following Eddie to his car and when someone calls out to ask where he's going, he shouts back "we're gonna go pick up our kid!!" and then they get in the car and drive away, leaving Buck's jeep in the parking lot
A pole dancing bunny for whoever who wants it.
Here's a quick au idea that just came to me today:
In a modern au where Merlin is still waiting on Arthur, historians recently discovered a whole batch of legal documents from Arthur's reign. These documents detail many changes he made to the laws of Camelot, including the repeal of the magic ban (which the historians assumed was just a halt on witch hunts).
However, one thing that the historians note as strange were the large number of laws that only applied to the king's personal manservant, who was never mentioned by name in the documents. These laws range from oddly specific, such as 'the king's manservant shall not accompany knights to the tavern', to downright bizarre decrees that make no sense, like 'the king's manservant is hereby forbidden from pointing out stew in the king's hair.'
The historians' first guess was that perhaps King Arthur was going a bit mad in his later years, but they didn't find any other ludicrous laws besides the ones pertaining to his manservant, which then led the historians to question the identity of this manservant and his relationship to the king.
All of this culminates in a historical exhibit showcasing the documents and postulating on this mysterious manservant of king Arthur. Many scholars flock to the exhibit, eager to examine the documents and debate their meaning and impact within a historical context.
Which then leads to a very tired Dr. Merlin Emrys, a medieval history professor, being dragged by his colleagues to see the exhibit and having to stifle is laughter as these world-renowned scholars tear their hair out trying to understand what was essentially a prank war between him and Arthur.
