Anakin finds out that Mace and Qui-Gon used to be a Thing and immediately begins trying to get them back together. He ropes Obi-Wan into it, and Yoda, because “Who would know Master Mace better than his old master? Speaking of which, let’s get Master Jinn’s old master too!” And thus, Dooku doesn’t fall, because he’s too busy matchmaking
Dooku’s going to SWEAR he wants no part of this ridiculousness at first, because he is a Serious Jedi and also he lowkey hates Anakin so he’s not inclined to help him with anything, but we all know no Jedi worth his salt can resist the lure of Drama. Also he hates to admit it, but Qui-Gon and Mace did make a not…terrible couple once upon a time. If you care about that sort of nonsense. Which he definitely Does Not, oh no, not him. He totally doesn’t even read the group texts where Anakin updates everyone on how their latest ploy to get Mace and Qui-Gon sent to the outer rim or locked in a storage closet together worked out. (He absolutely does.)
I feel like Yoda finds all of this hilarious. Obi-Wan finds it all kind of embarrassing, but A) Anakin is Very Invested, because of course he is (a tragic love story! just like his soaps! THEY HAVE TO GET BACK TOGETHER THEY JUST HAVE TO OBI-WAN WE NEED TO SHOW THEM THAT TRUE LOVE IS REAL), and so Obi-Wan will participate to make Anakin happy because he is hopeless, and B) I have to believe at least some part of Obi-Wan is going to enjoy driving Qui-Gon and Mace insane during this process.
YQY getting hit with truth serum so he has to confess The Secret to SJ is definitely a thing, because jesus fucking christ ANYTHING to make that man talk, but I think the potential for an even larger audience is fantastic.
A scenario like SQQ's trial. Things are dug up. Other things are implied or even fabricated. YQY is on trial. He's presented with some kind of truth serum. He refuses to take it until it's clarified that it won't compel him to speak, just prevent him from lying. He takes it.
They were lying. It absolutely does compel him to answer any questions asked of him. And the results are completely unhinged.
The Xuan Su thing doesn't even come up. It doesn't need to. In an attempt to paint him as scheming and ambitious, he's asked why he became sect leader.
"So I can give Xiao Jiu whatever he wants."
The assembled crowd: ?????
Is this Xiao Jiu a....mistreess? A son? What the hell. Questioning continues, and Yue Qingyuan's insanity is put on full display.
"What if 'Xiao Jiu' wanted to be the sect leader?"
"I would make him the sect leader."
"Surely the other peak lords of Cang Qiong would object. What would you do, then?"
"Whatever I had to."
Whatever they were originally asking about gets seriously derailed as they realize that this guy, arguably the most powerful cultivator in the world, is singularly obsessed with a person he calls 'Xiao Jiu.' Why did he seek power? Xiao Jiu. What is his ultimate goal? Xiao Jiu.
It's also starting to seem like maybe Xiao Jiu isn't exactly a willing participant.
"What does Xiao Jiu ask you for?"
"To leave him alone."
Okay. So his attentions are unwanted. Yikes.
Further questioning reveals that this mysterious person seems to hate Yue Qingyuan, but is regularly subject to his attentions anyway.
The one question he won't answer is 'who is Xiao Jiu.' He's bleeding from the mouth and eyes, but he just shakes his head or says, "He told me not to call him that."
In the audience, no one noticed Shen Qingqiu's total bluescreen, because honestly? All of the peak lords are feeling pretty lost for words right now.
I dunno, I just think it's specifically interesting to a) have a public reveal that this man is a lunatic, and b) have SQQ find out the depths of YQY's devotion without being able to get the answer he wants most.
This would drive SJ absolutely insane. On the one hand he’s happy that YQY isn’t spilling every little detail of their past for these vultures to pick through, on the other hands where the fuck is this coming from??? What sense do these answers make in the mouth of the man who abandoned him? If it was anyone else saying these things he’d be wildly uncomfortable, but this is just confusing (if he were to really sit with his feelings, he might realize that any immediate sense of revolution was swept away by a long-dormant sense of possessiveness). He intends to grab YQY and shake him as soon as YQY stops giving the OPM grounds to charge him with stalking or harassment or something, and YQY will just give him guilty eyes because he things SJ is mad about every he said on the stand 😔. Actually scratch that for qijiu’s benefit the potion should still be in effect, so the moment they’re behind doors SJ can furiously ask why, if YQY doesn’t despise him, he saw fit to abandon him back then and every day since their reunion. YQY can try to hold himself back from speaking to the point of coughing up blood again, which only enrages SJ further, and eventually YQY is forced to speak his explanation through his rough and bloodied throat. SJ is have every single emotion today and has a 50/50 chance of learning what YQY’s blood tastes like (for normal kissing reasons. Normaler than usual).
On a different note, I felt palatable anxiety reading the first part of the ask because I thought you were going to say that YQY confessed about Xuan Su in public, his greatest weakness and a questionable/unnatural feat of cultivation that he could well be criticized for. I legit think that if that happened SJ would consider killing everyone else in the room to stop the secret from getting out— he doesn’t have time to process all the complicated emotions from what YQY just told him, he only knows that’s it’s intolerable for YQY to be this vulnerable in front of people SJ distrusts or despises.

ok as amazing as Twilight of Apprentice was how funny would it have been if Ahsoka was just beyond done with Anakin’s bullshit™ and just screamed “FUCK OFF SKYGUY” everytime she saw Vader
“The man you knew as Anakin Skywalker is de-”
“Cut the shit, Anakin, I know it’s you. You just flew in standing on top of your TIE fighter and there’s only one fucker in the galaxy who’s that extra”
Clark: [Walks into Wayne manor with his family] Hello everyone! Merry chr-
Bruce: [marching to and fro like a drill sergeant in front of Tim, Steph and Jason, looking furious]
Clark: -istmas?
Bruce: [menacing] which one of you did it?
Tim, Steph and Jason: [looking bored] ...
Bruce: I know it was one of you. Which. One.
Jason: You 'know' it was one of us? That sounds a little presumptuous.
Steph: Yeah. I came here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now.
Bruce: Of course it was one of you three!
Jason: [gasps] Oh my god. Bias.
Tim: This is sexist.
Bruce: what?
Steph: We're being victimized. [flips her hair] I feel unsafe.
Bruce: [stops in front of Tim] Tim. You're the sensible one. Who was it?
Tim: [dramatically] You accuse us of wrongdoing yet you lack even the slightest hint of evidence. For shame.
Jason: Shoddy detective work is what it is.
Steph: What would Gordon say?
Jason: You know. It really breaks my heart that you would just ASSUME that one of us did it. Really shows who you trust, huh, batman? God forbid you'd interrogate DICK.
Bruce: assu- ASSUME? In this family there are THREE people who would EVER even THINK to tie someone up, cover them in glitter and put them on top of the christmas tree. [points viciously at the slightly worse-for-wear pinetree] AND IT'S YOU
Steph: [studying her nails] sounds like sexism to me
Tim: [arms crossed] circumstantial at best
Jason: [grinning] got any FACTS to corroborate that accusation B?
Bruce: I-
Damian: [from the doorway; his clothes, hair and skin covered in glitter] It was Todd and Brown. Though I do not doubt that Drake assisted in planning it.
Tim, Steph and Jason: ...
Jason: OBJECTION
Clark: ...
Kon: [trying to stifle his laughter]
Lois: [to Clark] We're not having any more children. Two is enough.
