Peak Lord meeting

Yue Qingyuan: How about we switch our current piping system to lead pipes- they're much more malleable and sealed. It'd be a great investment.

Shang Qinghua, who barely passed science but does remember some stuff: Hmmm how about we don't.

Out on a mission

Qi Qingqi: And when did he begin to take a turn for the worse

Tearful wife: around the time his doctor prescribed him medicine for his illness

Shang Qinghua, squinting at the label on the bottle: does that say arsenic

Shang Qinghua, sidling up to Mu Qingfang: hey how attached are you to the use of mercury as a treatment for constipation.

An Ding Disciple, who found Mobei-Jun in her Shifu's Leisure House: What do you mean you guys aren't married? We've got like fifty bets riding on your sex life - Why haven't you married him???

Mobei-Jun, head in hands, surrounded by mind maps and charts with red string: IM TRYING-

Cultivator NPC: “You’re only here because Yue Qingyuan pities you.” Shen Qingqiu: “And you’re here because the Heavens needed an example of mediocrity.” Everyone else: silently absorbing the secondhand humiliation Qi Qingqi: “Should I... defend him?” Mu Qingfang: “From what? Facts?”

There are a lot of plausible ways that things could go if Shen Yuan met Shen Jiu when they're both grown adults, but for my money the funniest is if they just immediately start trying to maim each other.

Shen Yuan is wondering if there's some sort of mandate of the "if you meet your double you have to kill him" style in effect, but no. It's just that he's still way more pissed off about the child abuse against Binghe than he realizes, while Shen Jiu's reaction to seeing anyone who reminds him of himself is to try and destroy them. There's not a lot of thinking or finesse involved, so they basically go from zero to "rolling in the dirt trying to claw each other's eyes out" with no warning.

Two very different shen sibling dynamics that i both enjoy equally and some other svsss drawings

[fixation-hyper-station]

I just love how immediately these two cooperate and understand each other.

Liu Qingge doesn't know (yet) that this is a different person, but he easily understands what Shen Qingqiu's plan is and what he needs at a glance and does it.

Shen Qingqiu doesn't have any real knowledge of Liu Qingge, nothing aside from "he was strong enough to be the War God", but he perfectly accounts for what he will do and adapts to his arrival.

Then there's this moment, when Shen Qingqiu collapses. Liu Qingge doesn't hesitate to help and Shen Qingqiu doesn't hesitate to accept.

They are just so perfectly in-sync from the get-go.

And I honestly think that is why Liu Qingge becomes suspicious. Not just Shen Qingqiu's behavior, not just his lack of rage at his powerlessness and his increased willingness to unhesitatingly throw himself into the fire to save some one, but this easy cooperation.

He and the OG Shen Qingqiu had a years long feud, a rivalry and disharmony between them full of resentment and mistrust.

Of course feeling so trustful and having such trust from Shen Qingqiu made him think it was another person.

Liu Qingge acknowledges that the possession detections all came back false, but I don't remember/think he ever let that suspicion go. He might be the only person in the story that just accepted Shen Qingqiu was another person playing the role and took him as the literal new person he was.

Luo Binghe and the other disciples accepted the qi deviation excuse and/or recontextualized the past to fit the new Shen Qingqiu - basically retconning him from abusive to simply strict and his intentions from malicious and cruel to imparting a hard lesson in a harsh way so it would get through.

Yue Qingyuan and the other peak lords accepted the qi deviation excuse and the resulting "memory loss" as a trigger to a personality shift and were simply happy about it.

Liu Qingge on the other hand, seems to have understood this was a different Shen Qingqiu in the same way Shen Yuan accepted himself as Shen Qingqiu. The other one is gone, this one is here and he is Shen Qingqiu, but this one is the one that's kind and saved me.

Just look at the way he's looking at Shen Qingqiu while Yue Qingyuan and Mu Qingfan are going about feeling sorry for themselves for not curing him:

Tell me that is not a man seeing with total clarity that the person before him is not the Shen Qingqiu he knows, cataloguing the lack of malice in them and realizing whatever happened it probably wasn't this person's fault and the OG Shen Qingqiu is gone forever and deciding to accept it and move forward.

This is why I love to ship them. They both walk into their new relationship on pretty much even ground.

They've both saved each other, they both don't know what the future will bring for themselves and the other, and they both honestly get to know each other.

Cumplane where Airplane, in a fit of either bravery or insanity or positive or negative self-esteem (he's not totally sure) decides to cosplay as Luo Binghe and post the pictures online.

Of course, he doesn't do it as "Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky", he knows he has some questionable fans and doesn't really want to hand them a picture of his face. So he posts the images under one of the pseudonyms he uses for lurking around the comment section and social media tags. It's just a handful of images of him looking like the protagonist in his head, attempting to strike cool poses in a wig and some period clothes (he rented both).

The reception is... mixed. Airplane does not have abs, after all, nor a flawless complexion or much skill with makeup. He is fat, freckled, and awkward. The PIDW readership is not known for being particularly supportive either. In fact they're mostly a crab bucket of negativity and masculine posturing, so he gets a lot of mean-spirited commentary.

It's fine. Nothing he hadn't expected. Really solidifies for him that posting was a fit of madness, actually! What did he even expect? He's bracing himself for the worst when he sees that Peerless Cucumber, notorious hate-reader and defender of Luo Binghe's honor, has commented. Ah, shit. He's probably going to rip into Airplane for daring to sully his precious Binghe's reputation by dressing up like that, isn't he?

The comment is long, too. Fuck. Airplane's not sure if his self-esteem can take a comprehensive beating from the champion hater himself, but he's too curious not to look.

Shen Yuan, in the meanwhile, is just pleased that there has FINALLY been a Luo Binghe cosplayer who looks the part. Of course Luo Binghe wouldn't have exaggerated muscles, those are just a product of dehydration. Binghe spent most of his disciple years running around chopping wood and hauling laundry, and then later doing whatever he could to pack on the calories in order to make it through the Abyss. A hefty workman's build would only make sense for him, anything else would be nonsense. Airplane also described Luo Binghe as having a beautiful face, which Shen Yuan won't blame most cosplayers for not being able to just make happen, but a beautiful face doesn't mean "covered in so much makeup it looks like an anime character"! When would Luo Binghe have the time or inclination to put on makeup? A natural beauty with some inevitable blemishes would make more sense and be much more appealing, and this "Airplane Crashing to the Ground" (funny play on the author's name, Shen Yuan approves) has very pretty features! Everyone hating on this cosplay is just an idiot, the only actual problem is that his wig is poorly fitted.

So in true Peerless Cucumber fashion, he lays this all out.

This gets him embroiled in arguments with several other fans, who even accuse him of actually being the guy in the photos, claiming that there's no other reason why he would defend them. Shen Yuan doesn't care if people think that's him, because that's still the best Luo Binghe cosplay he's ever seen, but he doesn't want them doubting the sincerity of his arguments. So, he decides that the only reasonable thing to do is dress himself up in cosplay as well and then post the actual photos of himself.

While he'd like to dress up as one of Luo Binghe's allies like Mobei Jun, or maybe someone cool like Yue Qingyuan, he is too pedantic to think he could pull that off. Those guys are all strong warrior types, and Shen Yuan is a scrawny pale rich kid who looks like he'd probably lose a fight with a wet paper towel. The only characters he could plausibly pull off would be some of the more consumptive members of Binghe's harem and maybe, maybe, one of the weaker villains like Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Yuan is NOT posting pictures of himself crossplaying to the central nexus of toxic masculinity itself, so... Shen Qingqiu it is!

Poor Airplane has to go sit and stare at a while for a while. Peerless Cucumber likes his cosplay. Peerless Cucumber, ardent defender of Shang Qinghua's sellout crappy main character mary-sue, thinks Airplane is good-looking enough to cosplay as him. And said so. Repeatedly. And then posted borderline thirst-trap villain cosplay of himself, inadvertently revealing in the process that he is hot.

What the. What. What?!

Anyway, Shen Yuan suggests that they attend the next convention both cosplaying together because Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky is supposed to be doing a meet & greet at that one, and wouldn't it be fun to go as a pair? And Airplane agrees before his brain catches up and he realizes that might present a problem.
