As much as I love Airplane manages to fix things between Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu during the well mission fix its, they tend to skip over the potentially hilarious ripple effects.
Consider:
Shang Qinghua manages to tell Liu Qingge that Shen Qingqiu wasn't trying to kill him before the misunderstanding can get worse and then babbles a bunch of other stuff about how everyone's misjudging SQQ and he's not a young master, etc.
-> Relations between all the peak lords get way way better
-> SQQ does not try to steal Luo Binghe from LQG at the entrance test
-> Airplane gets a frantic and enraged message from the System two minutes before the whole entrance test is over telling him Luo Binghe's not going to make it into CQMS
-> Frantic SQH arrives to find Qiong Dong disciples trying and failing to remove a frantic little lotus who refuses to stop digging because "someone will see, someone will take me, I have nowhere to go!"
-> SQH loudly announces he will take the kid because An Ding always needs the numbers
-> A bunch of the other stragglers (inspired by Binghe's refusal to leave) take this to mean them too and well SQH can't exactly back out of this or he'll loose Binghe.
-> An Ding disciples already collected enough new kids to fill the existing leisure houses so it's sleepover at Shizun's until the new ones are built
-> Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu glaring daggers at Shang Qinghua at the next peak lord meeting for "stealing" LQG's presumed new disiciple. Exhausted expressions from Yue Qingyuan for adding a dozen or so kids over capacity without warning
-> SQH gets back to his house after the meeting to discover no one told the new kids An Ding is for cowards yet: there's a bemused Mobei-Jun sitting in the centre of a children circle getting his hair braided by two little kiddos while he tames Binghe's mess.
-> Secret Demon Husband Defence Squad has now formed
-> System must now rethink everything about the plot
what the hell is going on in this country?!
i said bloody brillant to my mother earlier because i was thinking of cunk on earth and she looked at me like i killed her dog
New Part: 10 Lethal Injury Ideas
If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas:
1. Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.
2. Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.
3. Concussions
This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.
I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.
4. Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.
5. Road Rash
Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.
6. Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.
7. Deep Laceration
A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.
This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.
8. Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.
If you want to explore writing burns, read here.
9. Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.
10. Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

Is Mobei-Jun part of this as well? And if so, does he have THREE ridiculous embarrassing dads????
Tianlang Jun and Shang Qinghua somehow ended up co parenting Luo Binghe. Now Bingbun has not one but TWO ridiculous embarrassing dads (+1 Uncle Zhuzhi).
this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it
buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell
leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist
put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.
when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!
plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.
if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge
if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.
its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.
It's actually kind of hilarious to contemplate the prospect that the genre shift in SV means that Luo Binghe's harem go the queer route as well and start largely pairing off into lesbian ships with one another.
Mostly because of the sheer scale of Bingge's harem, and the fact that a lot of it was comprised of the members of politically influential families.
Can you imagine the freak-outs that various lords and kings are probably having over the fact that their daughters keep eloping with one another? The practical ones are probably going to be like, well, a political alliance is an alliance, welcome to the family Random Demon Princess! But a lot of them are probably going to be pissed that their bloodline's liable to die out, and that the perfectly suitable match (read: asshole cannon fodder Bingge did away with in PIDW) they arranged for their daughter got interrupted by some lady cultivator kidnapping her from her wedding instead. Imagining several prominent nobles in various realms furrowing their brows together and just being like, is it something in the water? Did some plant do this? Is it like it a cultural ripple effect, the Demon King is gay so now all the youngsters are too?
My dump of thing where I put all of my aus, crack, headcanons, and random things that I will forget.
