Somehow the address of "Shen Qingqiu, The bamboo cottage, Qing Jing Peak, Cang Qiong Mountain Province, China" ends up on the PR list of a bunch of companies. The brand workers automatically package up the PR boxes, tape the shipping labels on, and don't check to see who it's actually going to...
The system - the one that added said address to the PR mailing list - ensures that Shen Jiu delivers the influencer kit.
Shen Jiu is very confused by the sudden onset of all these packages of cosmetics and what appears to be... skincare?

thinking about... how oscar piastri wears almost only hoodies, sports jerseys t shirts, and polos to the track. and that he likes a good yachting investment banker bro sweater in his off time but will not be caught dead wearing one to the track. his hesitation whenever asked about his favourite movies or tv shows or music, and giving the blandest answers possible to not open any further routes of inquiry into his personal life or beliefs. just. quite fascinated by his. self-awareness. choices. the fact that he self-described as calculated since as far back as f2. his whole thing.
(btw i drafted this in like july and nicole piastri saying on red flags that oscar conceals himself pretty deliberately because year one was "not at all actually what he's like irl" just adds credence to my conspiracy theory tbh)

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.
They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.
They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.
Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.
On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

Looking at some party banter and losing my mind at the bloodweave ones in particular
Gale caught yapping again and only catches himself when Astarion makes that pained look of "I wasn't making a joke"
And now here Astarion is actually making a joke just to call Gale out on being a nerd that's oh so easy to shove inside a locker.
The nosy wizard is going to get us killed!! (The more delusional take is that he's worried instead akdhfkdjd)
I wouldn't describe Kethric's throne as comfortable...
Aaaaaand there it is. Love that they have the conversation continue.
I like this one. It feels like Gale's silly and overly eager nerdiness actually serves as a grounding point for Astarion. Unnerved? Just wait for the wizard to say some nonsense trivia for a soft reset of one's mind.
I like to imagine Astarion throwing his arm over Gale's shoulder as he says this. They've grown attached to each other's company, and just as Gale's given Astarion a taste for books, Astarion has given Gale a zest for life he might have lost entirely if not for the concern of the orb going off.
I think it's really something that this is a conversation with Gale. If not for Gale's relationship with Mystra, I feel like he'd have the same atheistic approach towards them as Astarion. After all, Gale only saw Mystra's protection of herself as hiding away secrets from mortals.
Just why is he so concerned with Gale's love life?!?!? I get that Astarion's a gossip, but I always found his interest here so strange.
Interesting how he holds off on asking this until Act 3, and it's only if you're romancing Gale. Like is he trying to divide the two of you further by making Gale speak positively of Mystra? Why? Mission accomplished in its own way, but still, very strange.
I'm assuming this is Gale showing concern for the player character but also a bit of a reveal from Gale himself that he prefers his romances slow and paasionate. I like to think he's hoping things go well anyway, in spite of his preferences.
...And here's the proof for that hc, right here. He really does wish the best for Astarion, because if anyone's known heartbreak, it's Gale. Crazy how Astarion, so used to just using Gale as an emotional reset button by constantly ribbing him, instead returns the sincerity in kind. I think it speaks so much to their relationship with each other that, in spite of their early animosity, both of them recognize how much friendlier the atmosphere between them has grown. Add to this the shrinking amount of distance between their tents, and you can really see the point at which they stop being frenemies and instead consider each other true friends. A rarity for them both.
Gale is being 100% genuine here btw. I don't think he forgot about the orb, I think he's just delusionally of the belief that he can change how it tastes if he gives it willingly.
My headcanon is that orb-free Gale in postgame keeps the offer on deck anyway. He just wants to help! And yet, if it does happen, it will never not feel like the two of them are cheating on Tav together 💔
Lol. Just wait until you're in those shackles, Gale...

Me: *reads SQQ gets PR makeup kits*
Me: …
Me: wait until he starts doing his hair
Also me: ‘tis obviously witchcraft, that or the witch can shapeshift.
Liu Qingge barges into Shen Qingqiu's bamboo house to challenge him to a fight as per usual except he runs into Shen Qingqiu wearing a fluffy bathrobe with rabbit hear head up holding his hair back, his forehead covered in some sort of neon green... mud?? Two crescent moon shaped bandages(?) under his eyes, a black strip over the nose, and unnaturally red puffy lips-
Liu Qingge: MU QINGFANG, SHEN QINGQIU IS HAVING A DEVIATION AND IS DOING WEIRD THINGSSSSSSS
Shen Qingqiu using his mud mask, undereye peels, blackhead nose strip, and lip plumper gloss in a mini spa day session: ...
