Scenario where cumplane become friends before the Abyss, and Luo Binghe determines that actually, Shang Qinghua is potentially his biggest romantic rival.

Not because Shang Qinghua is particularly seductive, and not even because of their friendship, but because Shang Qinghua actually seems to be fluent in Shen Qingqiu's weird and at times contradictory signals.

Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan can yearn and pine all they want, but they can't even convey romantic interest in a format Shen Qingqiu can or will recognize, so at the end of the day they're making all of these overtures and Shen Qingqiu is just like oh what nice friends :) about it. There's way less risk of him ever accepting their suits when he can't recognize them as such, and when neither of the other guys even realize he can't recognize them as such!

But Shang Qinghua...

Shang Qinghua knows that Shen Qingqiu is unaware, too. And he knows how to make him aware. He knows how to parse Shen Qingqiu's odd double-speak and mixed signals maybe even better than Luo Binghe himself. Plus he can anticipate what things Shen Qingqiu is liable to react strangely or inconsistently towards, when again, even Binghe struggles to do that sometimes!

If Shang Qinghua ever made a move on Shen Qingqiu, he would be able to convey his intentions clearly. And before Binghe has the social standing to actually present himself as a viable alternative, he wouldn't even be able to argue against the match! It would be totally dependent on whether or not Shen Qingqiu was interested, and Luo Binghe cannot say with confidence that he actually wouldn't be? Shang Qinghua may be the weakest and least dashing of the peak lords, but he's not bad looking. He even has certain traits which Luo Binghe himself shares, traits Binghe's deliberately tried to emphasize because he knows Shizun responds to them, like being pathetic, and clingy, and clumsy, and having big eyes and curls in his hair and doing important work that helps make Shen Qingqiu's life more comfortable...!

Luo Binghe starts spying on Shang Qinghua. He is going to get dirt on him, and he is going to blackmail him into swearing that he will never ever attempt to court Shen Qingqiu! At least not until after Binghe has reached his majority and can fairly compete with him for his master's affections!

Of course, this is how Luo Binghe discovers that Shang Qinghua is a spy for Mobei Jun, and is plotting to assist in an attack on the Immortal Alliance Conference.

A revelation which accidentally creates such an untenable situation that the plot shifts irrevocably. All Shen Qingqiu knows about it is that out of nowhere the System has offered to remove the Endless Abyss mandatory plot point but only if Shen Qingqiu agrees to purchase something it's calling The Espionage Path...?

That really is ominous, man. / from percy

Ask Meme: It’s a Dirty Job -- @titanswar

“Good, it’s supposed to be,” Nico says, for once not trying to be spooky or dramatic, and just because he means it. Mouth slants to the side in a small grimace as he watches the ground ahead of them.

Back in ancient times, when someone wanted to curse someone else, they would write a message on a clay tablet and bury it in the ground. Sometimes they thought Hades might be the one to see it and do something about the curse, or sometimes they just thought being underground was punishment enough. With the dead as restless as they were, this particular field suddenly strikes him as... off. “Watch your step.”

Neuvillette's body language in my mind ranges from curious feline, to Long Cryptid that lingers just outside the door when you're falling asleep

I'm seeing the picture of Maybe Adult Mallory in the dress, and the potential: like it's her getting ready for her birthday party, or a debutante ball, or some political function she's going to.

OR daddy's birthday

The podcast is clearly leaning toward the cozy end of things and in-universe Leo is avoiding nastier cases but still, so many of these ghosts are peaceful <3 and content <3. If I were clinging to this mortal plane it would be for the express purpose of being a hater. I would torment the Missouri state legislature until they begged the ghost cops to get rid of me. Where is the episode where Leo takes their recording device to Parliament
