Shen Qingqiu gets hit by a rare wife plot.

And it actually is a rare one because Airplane didn't even write this one down! He toyed with the idea before ultimately dismissing it as being too controversial for the tastes of his readers, and adapting only a few of the same elements for a subsequent chapter of PIDW.

But apparently the System can pull inspiration even from the author's thoughts, especially when there's nothing to contradict the concept and even a few threads of it still to be found in the original, and somehow Shen Qingqiu runs afoul of this previously-unwritten plot bunny.

The core concept was a cuck scenario, of all things. One of the Luo Binghe's wives gets afflicted by a poison that can only be cured by dual cultivation, but specifically can't be cured by by dual cultivation with anyone who has mastery over demonic qi. Something something conflicting energies, something bullshit something. Peerless Cucumber would have ripped the chapter to shreds if it had actually made it to publication, not just for the insult of implying that Luo Binghe should let one of his wives sleep with someone else, but also because why would Luo Binghe -- able to use both kinds of cultivation -- somehow not be able to keep his demonic energies from influencing the situation just in this one case?

Well it turns out that in his specific case it's because sex gets him too worked up to keep things strictly separate, and the degree of control required to treat the affliction whilst dual cultivating is extensive enough that even a little slip-up would be fatal.

Of course, in the actual chapter of PIDW, this same plot device was altered and used to create a harem orgy where Luo Binghe oversaw several of his wives "treating" one another's "afflictions", but Shen Qingqiu just had to go and get a fatal of dose of the more severe version (he didn't realize the risk, because again, this version didn't even make it into the novel).

Anyway, of course this ends up with Shen Qingqiu trying to figure out another way to cheat death, while Luo Binghe goes through the five stages of grief before accepting that he's just going to have to let someone else fuck his husband. This leads to an argument because of course Shen Qingqiu's not going to cheat on Luo Binghe, and he's especially not going to force one of his martial siblings to sleep with him, come on now, and Luo Binghe trying not to cry tears of blood while bringing himself to explain that a fair few of Shen Qingqiu's sect siblings would be happy volunteers for this task.

Shen Qingqiu's just like, well of course you think that, for some bizarre reason you think everyone wants to sleep with me. Bias is what it is. Really it's flattering Binghe but obviously every other person we know is straight, that's just statistics, and everyone in the entire cultivation world knows that Qi Qingqi would sooner chew glass than have sex with a man!

Luo Binghe, weeping now: Shizun please. This is serious. I need you speak words that make sense in the order you're saying them.

They argue, they reach an impasse, the clock is ticking. So Luo Binghe reluctantly turns to the most reliable source of information (outside of himself) on Manipulating Shen Qingqiu to Do Things That Are in His Own Best Interests -- Shang Qinghua.

At first Shang Qinghua is like, well I'm flattered Junshang but I don't think I could shoulder the baggage of fucking Cucumber-bro for you. But then Luo Binghe is like no I need someone who is way hotter and more capable than you, if Shizun is going to fuck someone else at my behest they're going to be TOP TIER so that when I fuck him better afterwards he's really impressed with me. Liu Qingge, obviously.

Not Yue Qingyuan, Shang Qinghua asks? (He'd take the insult a little more personally but honestly he's just relieved that he's not being asked to navigate this social minefield.)

No, Luo Binghe says. He's not 100% sure he could beat Yue Qingyuan in a fight even to this day, which in his mind also translates to not being 100% sure he could do sex better than him either, so Yue Qingyuan is an emergency last resort. He's way more likely to cry on Shizun too and Shen Qingqiu is into that shit, it's too risky.

Alright, says Shang Qinghua, and he thinks about it, and then he comes up with the beautifully simple solution:

Luo Binghe has to fuck Liu Qingge first.

Because of course the crux of the issue is that even with permission, Shen Qingqiu doesn't want to cheat on Luo Binghe. But in the twisted annals of his mind, Luo Binghe himself is still entitled to a harem, even if Luo Binghe is also happily monogamous in this life. So if he shacks up with Liu Qingge first then Liu Qingge essentially joins Luo Binghe's harem, at which point if Shen Qingqiu sleeps with him it's not an affair, it's the gay version of those fanservice-y 3P scenes that the wives in PIDW did. Shang Qinghua translates the concept as best as he can to Luo Binghe, who -- though slightly dubious -- must accept that so far Shang Qinghua's wisdom hasn't steered him wrong with regards to his shizun's eccentricities.

Luo Binghe's mission: seduce Liu Qingge, or at least convince him to have sex, or possibly to lie and (convincingly!) tell Shen Qingqiu that they had sex. That last one is the longest shot so he's probably going to have to just fuck him (Luo Binghe still underestimates how willing his husband is to believe that just about anyone would have sex with him).

Shang Qinghua's mission: convince Shen Qingqiu that he owes his husband steamy threeway gay sex or something so that this plan he pulled out of his ass doesn't backfire and get him killed.

AU where Charles has assumed Edwin knew Charles was queer this entire time and was just being Edwardian about it, and somehow this impression managed to last up until Port Townsend, and this assumption was based entirely on:

Charles: What - how - how did you not - ? I have an earring in the gay ear!

Crystal: That’s not the gay ear, Charles. That hasn’t been a thing for decades and still even I know that left is right and right is wrong. Which is, um, the homophobic way to say it, but…

Charles: No, it’s definitely the left ear.

Niko: I didn’t know they had a gay ear in England.

Edwin: They definitely didn’t in the nineteen-tens. I was initially concerned you might be a pirate.

Crystal: Although I am kinda surprised you didn’t figure it out based on how he sits. Or doesn’t sit.

Charles and Edwin: What?

Niko: *nods sagely*

What if the red string of fate was tied around your neck like a collar and the person on the other end was horrified to be holding it like a leash?

No but if, instead of this scene being Azirphale realizing his love for Crowley, it was him realizing Crowley loves him back Aziraphale's seen Crowley swoop in to rescue him tons of times throughout history. And he has known Crowley to "tempt" him several times, just as a pretext to spend time together. But this, saving his books outright with no other ulterior motive other than just to make Aziraphale happy, well obviously he would react like that when he finds out.

I really like how they soft launched Aelswith. Like, when we saw her in the first few episodes, she was very quiet and 'dutiful'. She tended to Alfred and was very kept to herself. I did NOT expect the strong willed, 'take no shit' personality that came from her after. I will always love her. And her voice??

       PRIOR TO BEING CURSED BY THE SIX EYES, the Gojo Clan was renowned for handling the dead. They have been for centuries practitioners of mourning or so they are called. They’re an oddity considering they are hailed to be ‘one man clan’ yet, there are different factions && stations that oversee the ruling of everyday life. Gojo Itsuki sired the Six Eyes of the modern era, he is a renowned physician && hermit while being one of few sons born into the clan, male children are exceptionally rare. Thus, the majority of the household remain to be women, one noticeable attribute is that they often wear white robes && white veils, hiding their identities from each other but recognize one another from their eyes. Their previous work of handling the departed was to assure the lingering of curses disappeared && were cleansed from the body, they also handled the cremation, a knowledge of anatomy, medicine, and mourning practices are handled by the Gojo Clan.

    In archives, many speculate this is what granted them the attention of such a prominent curse; to handle the sorrow, tragedy, with utmost grace && never desiring showed piety / humility. Contrary to belief, there are children! Satoru is known to have many cousins but they do not bear his blessing thus, he is alone. They do not know of him on a personal level only that of an acclaimed deity, members of the Gojo Clan who clad pale blue robes are his own personal attendants, a high ranking prized honor. His role as the head of the Clan grants him the responsibility of handling the political landscapes although it is said he is not well adjusted to cunning wit, thus, he tends to use brute force && his status to obtain his desires.

     Their notoriety is only recent, it came into effect during the Heian Era where the Heritor renowned for their poise && might took force hence the namesake; the New Dawn. Whereas the first Heritor was viewed in a more somber way && somewhat scorned for their odd blessing but foresaw the cycle of eternity, they are the Deathless. The current Incarnation is known as the Beloved Child, he was waited upon for over four hundred years, while more naive, innocent, idealistic than his predecessors, there is still that air of an eldritch being to him that refuses to end - everlasting, ever powerful, ever knowing.

which of my guys do yall like actually want to see

barty to regulus in the bellareg au

“lets just run away together”

“I want to get married”

“but why?”

“because I love her”

“you will be bored of it all in two years and we will be interesting forever”

“just because my dreams are different than yours doesn’t mean they’re unimportant” :/

FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT

unfortunately regulus is entirely and completely whipped and happy being bella’s from the moment she lets him touch her for the first time. seventeen and nervous and shivering and trying to be good for his hot older cousin who’ll be his wife, be his. he’s on cloud nine, drunk on her. barty, in canon, can never truly be his. neither can sirius. bella is his blood, soon bonded to him by marriage, something sirius can never offer him, and she’ll never be able to leave. she’s carving out space for him, giving him someone to belong to, and that’s all he’s ever wanted. to belong to someone. to have something of his own, the way sirius always did and could, but he was never privy to, being the spare, not breaking the cycle by being sorted into a different house, instead always being secondary, an afterthought. and now he’s heir, and everything that belonged to sirius, including bella, now belongs to him, which outweighs whatever romantic notions barty tries to feed him, or anyone else for that matter, even sirius potentially trying to ’save’ regulus from his engagement. all he wants is stability and tradition and success and his, now, birth-right. it’s a bit out of spite, but he’s also been lusting after his cousin since it was decided she would marry sirius, and now she’s his. and yeah, bella shapes and molds him into the shape she wants him in, he’s malleable, just seventeen years old, and she has ambitions, and he wants to be her very good boy, her obedient husband-wife, until he’s nothing but hers. romantic ideals and his boyhood crush on barty will never outweigh blood and family and a pureblood marriage rooted in unyielding loyalty and duty rather than romance. bella wont ever leave him because of duty, because of their blood, and he’ll always belong to her

I actually can't believe how many people used to (or even still) hate Misa Amane. Her only crime was that the boy she loved happened to be Light fucking Yagami
