tw royal whump, abuse of power, past torture, implied future torture, bullying for zero reason, drowning
Whumpee had been working for hours. The Hall was enormous; the floor seemed to stretch into infinity whenever they looked up. So they just stopped looking, working square inch by square inch, never daring to check how much more work they had left.
Their knees were aching, bones pressed against an unforgivingly hard surface, skin catching on every little bump. Their arms and back were burning with the exertion, but they continued scrubbing, rewetting and wringing out the cloth again and again.
Just a little more, surely. They had to be close to done by now.
They didn’t stop working when they heard footsteps. People inside the palace would come and go all the time, it wasn’t any of their business — except this set of footsteps seemed to grow nearer still, way beyond the threshold of the Hall.
Whumpee didn’t look up. They scrubbed even more diligently, keeping their head low and their movements as silent as possible. It didn’t matter. By the time those expensive boots entered their field of vision, they already knew who it was. There was only one person who never left them alone even while working.
Her Majesty’s second son was as much of a brat as one could get, even within the royal family; with all the power and none of the responsibility, plenty of free time, and an unexplainable sadistic streak, he was the subject of many of Whumpee’s recurring nightmares. They didn’t understand what they’d done to warrant being the prince’s favourite chewtoy, and they were starting to suspect there wasn’t a reason, aside from simple misfortune.
“Busy?”
Whumpee put down the cloth, still keeping their eyes fixed on the floor. What were they supposed to say? Yes, they were, but that could come off rude. If they said no, however… well, that was a clear lie. “I’m happy to assist in whatever Your Highness may need,” they said in the end, hoping it was good enough.
“Look at me.” Whumpee swallowed and looked up, meeting the prince’s icy cold eyes. If there ever was a picture of pure malice, it must’ve been based off of him. “Do you think you’re doing a good job here, servant?”
“I’m doing the best job I can possibly–”
“Look at the water.” The prince suddenly grabbed them by the hair, making them yelp as they were dragged over to the bucket. “It’s filthy. You should’ve brought fresh water long ago, that’s not going to clean anything.”
“Y-yes, Your Highness. I apologise. I’ll bring–” They were cut off when the prince let go, shoving them down towards the admittedly quite dirty water. They caught themself before they could’ve fallen, their face just inches away from being submerged. “I’ll bring–”
He stepped on the back of their head, pushing them down as far as their body would allow. They didn’t have a chance to take a deep breath beforehand, and they certainly wouldn’t get one now. Their terrified whines and whimpers escaped them in large bubbles of precious oxygen, but the prince showed no sign of wanting to let them up.
They couldn’t breathe. They couldn’t breathe. They couldn’t–
The pressure suddenly disappeared and Whumpee yanked their head out of the bucket, getting water everywhere as they coughed and sputtered. Their lungs were burning with all the inhaled musky water, their throat scratchy and in pain from the abuse.
“Oh, by the way,” the prince began casually while they were still wheezing, “Mother sent me to check on the state of the Hall, since the event is about to start soon. I’m sure she will be very disappointed when I tell her–”
“I’ll be quicker,” Whumpee choked out, every word bringing more agony. “Please, Your Highness, I–”
The prince didn’t hesitate to kick them in the ribs with those expensive boots, and through the pain, Whumpee wondered how severely they’d be punished if their useless body were to make a scratch in the leather. “Do not interrupt me,” he hissed. “You can’t do your damn job or show respect? Have you already forgotten the last lashing?”
They couldn’t answer. It all hurt so much, they were too scared, they hated it all–
“That’s quite alright, I suppose. When I tell Mother about the servant who caused the delay, I’ll simply offer to handle the punishment arrangements myself. It’ll be a nice refresher — since the water doesn’t seem to have been enough.”

I agree that "in Germany your boss legally has to provide you with work while you're at your job" is a bit funny considering the German stereotype. But I am really annoyed at people who act like this is some horrible hypercapitalist thing on that post about pushing people out of their jobs by just not giving them anything to do. When really it's very basic worker protection (within the context of German emplyment law.) Because under most circumstances you can't just be fired from your job. Your employer has to provide a reason for firing you if they want to get rid of you. You also have a right to specifially the work you were hired to do.
So your boss having to give you appropriate work makes illegal any of the following:
a) Making you clean toilets instead of (or in addition to) the clearly defined office job you agreed to do
b) Not giving you work and then firing you for not doing your work
c) Waiting for you to crack under the intense boredom of having to stay on one place with absolutely nothing to do for eight hours a day while your coworkers are roped into it to shun you (or hate you because for some reason you're the only one who doesn't have to do any work) until you quit "voluntarily"
or d) waiting for you to crack under the aformentioned pressure until you do what the people in the notes said they'd do, like watching movies or doing a second job instead which is something you then can be reprimanded and fired for

Qatar 2004: a back-of-the-grid penalty, an "unbelievable" start, a lot of overtakes and a crash
Time stamps
News & explanation of penalty
0:00 - news of penalty, "... Rossi's team who took it upon themselves last night, and Biaggi's team as well, to go out there and clean that spot on the grid and there was a complaint from the Repsol Honda team..."
1:23 - press room chaos, "... when I went down between the 125s and the 250s, when nothing had been quite confirmed, there was a lot of very excited Italians around with bits of papers in hand and accusations..."
2:08 - Gibernau's opportunity, "Looking at the championship, this is a huge race for Sete Gibernau. He knows that he's starting from the front row of the grid; he knows that Valentino Rossi starts from the back row of the grid."
2:25 - race predictions, "[Rossi] has struggled hasn't he, this weekend, we've seen him go off track quite a few times as well."
On the grid
2:40 - Rossi on the grid, "Just wonder what his mood is. Will he look and smile? No, he won't. He is seething."
3:38 - Gibernau's reprieve, "He's got to win this race."
3:54 - Gibernau's form, "... so one thing Gibernau can't complain about this season is his luck..."
4:14 - Rossi preparing, "When he's really concentrating you don't know what's going to happen."
Start of race
4:21 - warm-up lap, "[When we usually] ride with Valentino Rossi, he's riding to the front of the grid, in pole position or on that front row. Now we're going to see the grid all in front of him."
4:45 - race start, "Valentino Rossi has made up - whoa - around ten positions into the first corner, maybe even more."
5:24 - overtaking Hayden, "He's already back into that eighth position that he would have been on on the grid if it weren't for that penalty."
5:55 - Rossi's starts at Yamaha, "He's been making some good starts this year, actually, has Rossi on the Yamaha, but never quite as good as that."
6:09 - overtaking Bayliss and Capirossi, "Rossi surely has now moved up into seventh place."
His progress
6:54 - stuck in the pack, "He's having to work very very hard to get past the likes of Colin Edwards and Alex Barros and Ruben Xaus."
7:08 - overtaking Barros, "... and Rossi and Barros have touched! And Rossi stays on board and raises his hand to Barros, Barros runs it wide and Rossi knows there that he's the guilty party for that one."
7:36 - replay of Barros overtake, "He's apologised to Barros but the upshot is that he's got past him."
7:53 - Nakano's engine fails, "Of course all that does is move Valentino Rossi further up the pack." [...] "... it's helped Gibernau and Checa in front because while all that happened with Nakano blowing smoke everywhere, everyone else behind him has had to slow down."
8:12 - Barros falling back, "Barros is actually now down in 17th place, so I'm not sure if he was hit by Valentino Rossi and perhaps he's damaged one of his brakes or his clutch lever or maybe even part of his body."
The crash
8:42 - Rossi crashes, "His hands are on his head [...] He runs wide onto the grass, onto the astroturf, loses control of his Yamaha..."
9:41 - the championship standings, "Fourteen points, what a lifeline for Sete Gibernau."
The full race is available here.
In 2004, Valentino Rossi came into Qatar with a 39-point lead in the championship over Sete Gibernau. Including Qatar, there were still four races to go, and Gibernau's excellent early season form had tailed off. Gibernau had made the podium in all of the first six races (including 2 wins), but in the six subsequent races had only scored two podiums (1 win) and had DNF'd twice. The title seemed like it would be Rossi's once again - his first on a Yamaha.
This was the first time MotoGP visited Qatar and the conditions were brutal: then still a daytime race, it was very hot, with all the riders struggling on the slippery sand-covered track. Rossi had gone off the track repeatedly in the sessions leading up to the race, qualifying only in eighth. The concern was that the dusty track would lead to poor starts, so Rossi's team used a scooter during the night to lay down rubber on his grid slot. The next morning, there was outrage - and Honda filed a complaint against Rossi. (It is a little unclear whether the main instigators were Respol Honda, who were supposedly officially behind the request, or Gibernau's Honda Gresini team, whose team boss Fausto Gresini allegedly took the complaint to race direction.) The physical evidence along with a blurry photo reportedly taken from the press room was enough to sway race direction. A six second penalty was applied to Rossi's qualifying time, leaving him to start at the back of the grid. Yamaha filed a counter-protest against Camel Honda rider Max Biaggi, whose team had swept sand off the grid slot, and he was given the same penalty.
The penalty infuriated Rossi and he blamed Gibernau and his Honda Gresini team directly for what had happened. He considered it a dirty game from Honda given that riders typically got away with tampering with grid slots (usually in the context of wet races where towels would be used). It is unknown to what extent, if at all, Gibernau was directly involved in the complaint - he denied it after the race, publicly saying he thought Rossi "didn't deserve" the penalty. Here is what Rossi reportedly said in the immediate aftermath of the penalty (from Stuart Barker's 2020 biography):
“I’ve been looking for an excuse not to talk to Sete. Today he gave me one.” “Sete was the one who was behind all this,” he said. “He has acted like a child. It is like a knife has been pushed into my back.”
In any case, Rossi made an excellent start from the back of the grid, getting up to ninth by Turn 1 and making up two more positions in the first lap. He continued working his way through the field, including by overtaking Alex Barros:
Tumblr media
Rossi had made it up to fourth and was sitting behind Colin Edwards when he ran wide onto the grass and crashed on only lap 5 out of 22. He walked away head in hands at his mistake and had badly injured his little finger - though not enough to be an issue for the rest of his season. As he put it in press before the next race in Sepang: “I have a hole in the finger, but I don’t think it’s a big problem for ride this weekend”. Gibernau won the race, making it a Gresini 1-2 alongside teammate Edwards. Rossi's championship lead had been whittled down to a mere 14 points with three rounds to go.
Rossi was still furious at Gibernau, reportedly calling his team "bastards" on live television, and, of course, vowing that Gibernau would never win another race again. For the rest of the season, he took matters into his own hands to ensure his promise would be kept. He won the remaining three races - including with two risky last lap passes on Gibernau in Australia, when a second place would have been enough to clinch the title.
Here he is in his autobiography (published in 2005) on the benefits and perils of riding angry:
At the 2003 Australian Grand Prix I was very fast, I was ahead, I was leaving Capirossi way behind. We were still in the first part of the race when I was made aware that I was now second. I was still in the lead, but I was in second place [initially in seventh] because I had been given a ten-second penalty for ignoring the yellow caution flags. Yes, the silly caution flags which the stewards, for reasons known only to them, insist on putting in invisible places, where nobody can see them. The same thing had cost me a win at Donington a few months earlier. "Enough!" I told myself. And, from there, I went on a tear. Without realising it, I started going even faster. I gained back nearly a second per lap, and, by the end, I was once again in first place. I had made up the ten seconds and there was still time to increase my lead. It's not as if I had been biding my time before the penalty that day. I wasn't planning on saving myself for the end. No, I was going as hard as I could. It's just that, afterwards, I went even harder, crazy as it sounds. I turned my rage into pure speed. Most riders can't do that. For them, rage just raises the level of tension and increases their chances of making crucial mistakes. I'm like that too - some of the time. Qatar in 2004 is a good example of that. I remember, I was absolutely furious because Honda had filed a complaint and I was forced to start from the last row. In just a few laps, I had come back up the field into fourth place. I should have calmed myself down and waited for the right moment. Instead, I fell. Looking back on it, that was a moment of uncontrollable folly. Normally it doesn't work that way. Normally I can control it. Or, at least, my brain can. And I'm thankful for that, or else I'd really be in trouble!

there's a lot of reasons to hate the way ad-based levels are now the standard starting level for streaming, but beyond just sheer blind hatred for it, it's also fucking annoying because they don't even have the diversity of actual tv ads. at least when you had regular tv channels you got like. usually a decent variety of tv ads coming your way and some local ads thrown in. with streaming services it's literally the same five fucking ads. i've seen the same ad for the same movie 40+ times because it plays at every single ad break. all this is doing is making me so homicidally irritated you're basically guaranteeing i'm never going to go to macy's or watch this stupid fucking horror movie about a pool. they're forcing us to watch ads and then they're making the ad-watching experience - already bad - even fucking worse.

i just remembered how much I hate amons corny pathetic little backstory, i know they were rushing but they may has well left it ambiguous. (Not that any backstory would have made him into a better villain, but it could have explained more)
seething hatred in tags 👇 sorry i didn’t realize that the disappointment turned into anger like that

Okay, so I came across a post today in which somebody said they had lost the enjoyment of creating Good Omens content because they were harassed over it. And I am PISSED
The fuck is wrong with some people?!
I'm sorry, but I just will never understand the point of taking something that somebody you probably don't even know has made with love and care; with the sole purpose of sharing what they love and make others smile or shed a tear, something that they're proud of - as they should be - and tear it to shreds.
Why?!?!
Fandom is supposed to be about expressing yourself. Be it through art, or stories, or poetry, or animations, or memes, or smut, or crafts. Whatever it is you like to do. It's supposed to be about sharing things inspired by what you love with others who love the same thing. It's supposed to be about a community of people who support each other, NOT WHO TRY TO SHOOT EACH OTHER DOWN!!
It sickens me. SICKENS ME. To see people being robbed of the joy of creating and sharing and being themselves just for the sake of it because of a group of idiots who don't have anything better to do with their fucking lives than to go around telling everyone how incompetent they are, and how shit everything they do is.
And in the particular case of Good Omens; has the very thing that brought us all together not taught us anything about unconditional acceptance, respect and even love no matter who you are?! Come on!
If an angel can love and respect a demon, then it shouldn't be so complicated for a human being to respect another. Should it?!
Creating is beautiful. Sharing is supposed to be beautiful. Fandom is supposed to be a safe space. A space to share, and express yourself without being afraid of judgment. BECAUSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY, FFS! ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE BLOODY POINT OF FANDOM?!
If you don't like the fanfic, then don't read it! If you don't like the fanart, then don't look at it! You don't even have to acknowledge it, okay? And if the mere existence of that person or their art bothers you, tough shit! Because they exist, and their art does too, and that IS NOT going to change for your convenience! You have NO FUCKING RIGHT to tell them they should stop doing and sharing things that make them happy. Are they hurting you? NO! Are they doing anything against you? NO!
SO FUCK OFF AND LET THEM BE WHO THEY ARE IN PEACE!
You don't like it, and that's fine, but it's no reason to harass the creator! Go read something else, or check out a different fanart style or, I don't know, take up fishing!
My point is that, for many people, fandom is the one place where they can be themselves, because there is something stopping them from that IRL. Is it really that hard to just give them that??
I know it isn't for me, and I will never for the life of me understand why it is for some people.
I'm very sorry for the language. I might have got a little carried away, but as a person who has gone through the typical shit a short, under-developed, nerdy girl usually goes through in highschool, bullies just trigger me and I can't sit and watch, I need to say something. Nobody should have to go through things like this, and it makes me sad that they do.
For anyone going through Hell because of this (in fandom or IRL), you need to remember that although there will always be bullies, wherever you go; there'll also always be people who are willing to help and to listen and to be there for you. It gets better, I promise. ❤️

this made me think of the few people who bullied me growing up and found a way to apologize later. one of them messaged me out of the blue one day in like 7th(?) grade and told me he was sorry and we talked until he had to go eat dinner and by then i realized i had fully forgiven him. the next one apologized after not seeing each other for a few years. he was mostly one of the ones that stood behind the others like "yeah what they said!" he even told me why i got bullied -- the classic "you were tall and weird and loud and we all thought you were annoying. it was dumb. childish. you know how it is." (i did not know how it is but i forgave him for the effort lol). and another one apologized even though i never considered him among the people that bullied me. we teased each other and chased each other on the playground in elementary school but that was about it. when he apologized i told him as much but forgave him for anything he might remember that i didnt.
then there was the one who "apologized" by turning it into a confession. when i indulged him to get him to shut the hell up, he pulled out the ol "LMAO I CANT BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR IT NO ONE WOULD EVER LOVE YOU" so i blocked him on all the social media platforms i could find him on.
although, i think if he reached out tomorrow and apologized genuinely, i might be able to forgive him. at the same time. he was the one who almost fucked up my entire life. more than once. so it would have to be a damn good apology.
Life really does align in weird ways.
My bully from 5th grade who snapped my glasses in front of his friends just found me on social media a few weeks ago.
He wrote me a long apology saying how he was now a father to a 3 year old little girl and was taking her to get her first pair of little glasses in the next few days—and it brought back what he did. He said couldn’t ever handle the idea of someone doing that to her.
My first instinct was to tell him to get lost, but I realized I was getting what I always prayed for. I just wanted the people who were mean to me to eventually understand it—even if it took a personal experience to relate to and 14 years to open their eyes.
A piece of me healed in that moment as I gave him glasses advice for his daughter because I was the same age when I got my first pair.
Kids are really ruthless, but it takes a healed adult to reach out to apologize. And there is always time to change; it’s never too late.

Why is it that I’m always the most dysphoric when my sensory issues are the worst I had to force myself to take off my binder and I can’t put on a sweater because I’ll overheat immediately and god I want to kill my uncle
#funny how the 14 yr old boy my mom thinks will end up in a racist discord group is the one who misgenders me the least#yes I’m talking about my brother (aka my mom’s son…)#and no he definitely won’t be racist??#idk where she gets that idea the middle/grade school we both attended was diverse and very anti racist#seriously why the fuck does she think her own child is going to turn out to be some asshole bully when there is ZERO reason to think so#like yeah he threatens us with nerf guns and hits random objects but he also has adhd and is hyperactive and oh. wait#that’s pretty fucking far from racism!#he’s a little shit but he’s my brother and it pisses me the fuck pff that my mom seems genuinely worried he’ll turn out like that#also for any who didn’t see my earlier post#my uncle was misgendering me and saying slurs hence the desire to kill#also making incest jokes! didn’t mention that but he was also talking about that#at the very least he was against it. I just don’t want to hear anything even a little related to incest at my fucking grandmas house#I feel bad because I love my grandma and had a great time this week my uncle just has a special talent for making me want to disappear of#the face of the earth. and he lives with her#I must have jinxed it at some point because this week was going so well#I thought we could put our differences aside and maybe get along#but I guess the added prescence of his sibling#my mom and other uncle#prevented that!#uh rant over#going to keep watching anime and hopefully calm down

and underneath the "I'm allowed to find people annoying" is "I'm allowed to be rude and tell people they're annoying to their face instead of just blocking them."
underneath the "cringe culture is dead" memephrase is an implicit "no one is ever allowed to find me annoying"

Went to an event with my mom today with open table seating and we planned on sitting together, set our bags down at a table and everything. Just as the buffet was finished being set up she came up to me to tell me she had accepted an invitation to another table that was full and I was on my own for seating.
Then she asked if I was upset and I was like "...yeah?" She shrugged and said "oh, oh well" and walked off. Like. Bitch?
She later walked up to me again to ask again if I was upset at her leaving me to fend for myself and when I was still upset she didn't apologize and just said something like "oh well, it's done."

I have this one very specific headcanon that Simon is naturally left-handed.
From the moment his little infant consciousness kicked in and he realized he could grab things and bring them to his tiny slobbery mouth, Simon was instinctively reaching with his left hand. But as he got older, for some reason or another, he lost his left-handedness. Well, “lost” is the nicer way of putting it; the truth was he rejected it.
Maybe it was because he was being bullied at school or, hell, maybe he was being harassed by his own father because of it. Whatever the reason, when he was still a boy, Simon forced himself to use his right hand until it became second nature to him.
So now fast forward 30-odd years to where Simon is now a grown adult. He’s got a good job, a nice house, a loving partner…
And, wouldn’t you know it, he’s got a kid who’s left-handed.
Well, let me tell you, the moment Simon realized his kid seemed to favor their left hand over their right, he literally started to weep. But he didn’t cry out of sadness or frustration. Though, it wasn’t out of sheer happiness either.
To be honest, Simon wasn’t exactly sure what he was feeling at that moment. Pride? Envy? Catharsis after experiencing a lifetime of people being cruel over the most trivial of reasons?
Either way, you can bet your ass Simon immediately bought his kiddo any and every left-handed-specific gadget that was out there. Left-handed scissors, left-handed notebooks, left-handed can openers.
Why does a toddler need a can opener? Who cares! The point is that Simon knows just how hard it is to be a leftie in a rightie’s world. So if he can do something to make his kid’s life a little easier – to make the world a more forgiving place than the one he grew up in – he will do that with zero hesitation.

Shinso: *is an edgy outcast with a purple color scheme and a nice voice*
Danny, who may or may not have a type: *catches feels*
Tumblr media
I have decided that Danny has the Lichtenberg figure, one because I love that concept and two chronic pain buddies!?
Deku then interrogates him on his ‘quirk’ and Danny ends up realizing he really knows nothing about what his powers are and stuff and the two work together to figure it out
#like LISTEN oh my god they'd be such a good couple bc -#first of all Danny's believes zero quirkist bs. being scared of soemones power when Danny has fought Fright Knight Spectra Pariah etc??#Dannys utterly inphased by Shinso's outcast aura bc /Dannys an outcast too/ - he's been bullied for YEARS. called a loser. beat up by humans#so when Danny comes to MHA and is suddenly super popular and likeable bc he has cool powers and can show off his 'Phantom' personality?#he doesn't even register he's popular now and isnt the arrogant asshole like shinso thought he'd be#not to mention they have the same sense of humor & style (Danny doesn't crush on Sam for a few months and NOT like alt styles okay)#so while it would take Danny being persistently nice w/ Mido's help to get through Shinso's walls. but once Shinso lets him the slightest -#- bit in Danny is speedrunning friendship & bonding with Shinso over vague details of their awful home lives the way all queer kids do.#UA kids are shocked such an obviously top 10 future hero like Danny would hang out with the creepy kid & even more when Shinso lets him stay#they would be so cute and cool and also intimidate EVEYONE when they're finally in a practical heroics class together and Danny shows some -#of the creepiness that he's been hiding too?? Phantom is so bright helpful happy funny that they forget he chose a ghost theme for a reason#(Shinso and Mido - potentially Shouto and Tokoyami too - def help Danny feel more comfortable with his quirk that could be 'villainous' if -#Danny didn't work so hard to look and act unthreatening likeable and humane to make Amity Parkers trust him more)#PLUS THE ANGST - mid relationship climax where smth happens to Danny and Shinso suggests he uses/NEEDS to use his quirk on Danny and it -#- brings his Freakshow trauma back to the surface. Danny doenst hate/immediately become scared of Shinso. but he does flinch when he hears -#- him use his quirk. his smile seems a bit tense when he has to play defense rather than frontline attack for once & sees Shinso in action.#theyd fight (shinso feeling like Danny finally had had enough of him/realized he was evil) and it's all very sad and emotional#until dnany finally decides to hell with being secretive about his impossible to explain backstory and gives Shinso all the details of the -#- Freakshow incident (being forced to do crimes and attack his friends. believing he was actually a ghost) and Shinso is horrified that such#an incident occurred & he'd never known abt it. THEN Shinso's like wait you had all thsi trauma and still befriended me? dated me? LIKED me?#and is blown away at how his bf is so self sacrificing forgiving and tolerant while Danny is surorsied Shinso doenst hate him for his -#- reaction to his quirk. anyways someone take this & right a fic or smth LMAO#🎣 cmere writers take this outline and use it for a mha x dp fic you know you want to~

Shen Yuan who glitches in his transmigration, but the original Shen Qingqiu still dies of a qi deviation.
So the System still needs someone with narrative relevance to throw Luo Binghe into the Abyss. In a fit of desperation, it contrives circumstances after Shen Qingqiu's death to move Luo Binghe to An Ding Peak (not that difficult), and then the System makes Shang Qinghua be Luo Binghe's new scum master who casts him down.
Airplane's thrilled, really. Cultivators aren't supposed to get ulcers but damned if he doesn't come close to one anyway. Between Shen Qingqiu and then just a while later Liu Qingge both dying from qi deviations, and Shang Qinghua looking like a stiff breeze could take him out any day now, poor Mu Qingfang is also just about at his wits' end.
But it's not all bad news! On An Ding Peak, Luo Binghe actually finds himself surrounded by the kinds of people who are accustomed to being bullied by the rest of the sect. So they're pretty sympathetic to him, and it's easier for someone with basic laboring skills to advance on that peak too. His chores don't decrease too much, but he actually gets rewarded for doing them well, and no one tries to kick him out of the dorms or anything. Shang Qinghua doesn't either go out of his way to bully or praise Luo Binghe, correctly reasoning that his best shot at not getting a gruesome death is to just be a more forgettable bad guy than an abusive dirtbag or a heart-wrenching betrayal. He doesn't sabotage Luo Binghe's cultivation (no point, and it would just farm resentment later) but he also doesn't go out of his way to help him improve (not gonna arm his inevitable maybe-probably-murderer with better weapons!), so Luo Binghe's situation sees an overall improvement but not the zero-to-hero treatment he'd have got with Shen Yuan either.
When Shang Qinghua shoves Luo Binghe into the Abyss (he just full on picks him up and tosses him like a sack of beans, better to rip it off quick like a bandage), LBH is upset, but he's not especially surprised or dismayed about Shang Qinghua's part in it. Later on he'll be kind of confused, because he just assumed that of course the righteous sect cultivator would abhor the demon, but it turns out Shang Qinghua has been working for a demon since before Luo Binghe even came to the sect? But then it still kind of makes sense because a Heavenly Demon would definitely pose a risk to Mobei Jun and to Mobei Jun's rule. Shang Qinghua, he supposes, is just really loyal to his specific demon.
Luo Binghe's subsequent revenge quest is also somewhat mitigated by the Abyss actually not being that bad.
The Abyss is not actually that bad thanks to the glitched out Shen Yuan having been camping there for several years now.
So when Shen Yuan's transmigration failed it failed because he "woke up" during the process, realized where the System intended to put him, was like no way in goddamn hell am I being that guy about it, and actually kind of won the ensuing tug-of-war. The System couldn't put him in Shen Qingqiu but Shen Yuan didn't want to go back to his dead body either, so he ended up stuck in the nearest available space for lost interdimensional beings. Which was the Endless Abyss.
Luckily Shen Yuan's quasi-transmigrated imparted an equivalent cultivation level as Shen Jiu's to him, and the glitch made him able to sense and manipulate certain extra-dimensional energies, so he manifested as this weird godlike being able to manipulate and control aspects of the Abyss. So he set about transforming Airplane's Torment Nexus into a viable ecosystem (the current version would not be anything approaching sustainable were it not for divine/narrative intervention, and is constantly on the verge of destabilizing into unlivable ruin that would only be fit for some particularly hardy microorganisms).
It's still like, a monster land full of demonic creatures and terrifying phenomenon, but with Shen Yuan's assistance it becomes something more like a demonic wildlife reserve than a dimensional horror plane. Though it is still a dimensional horror plane, and Shen Yuan is its chief dimensional horror. He treats it sort of like those dungeon building or wildlife park sims, figuring out how to keep everything in balance while still preserving all the interesting parts. A lot of the extreme survival issues of the Abyss are more of a result of it being environmentally unstable than a result of its actual denizens, and once he smooths out a lot of the messy dimensional edges and creates stable vents for the fluctuating energy run-off, the demonic inhabits start behaving less like horror movie monsters and more like animals. They're still wild and dangerous and prone to killing one another, but also more cautious, and able to access enough stable resources that they can even start to be picky about what they pursue.
Turns out that a lot of creatures in the Abyss actually don't like fighting and dying and being brutally injured on a regular basis, even if they can heal from it!
Shen Yuan has even discovered that some like chin scritches (he's not terribly worried about habituating them to people, given how rarely any people actually access the Abyss, but also because he's not really all that people-ish himself these days).
This means that one of Luo Binghe's first encounters with the horrible creatures of the Abyss, is in fact a pack of wolf-like monsters thoroughly avoiding an actual fight with him. In fact most of the denizens of the Abyss just avoid him. They can smell the Heavenly Demon energy rolling off of him, and given the current abundance of alternatives to dealing with that, virtually none of the monsters actually choose to challenge him. There are still a few that will go after anything that's bleeding, but that problem stops once Luo Binghe's physiology heals his wounds, which takes like... a couple hours, max.
Despite the stories he's heard, Luo Binghe is relieved to find that the Abyss is not quite so terrible as all that. Normal survival skills suffice for seeing him through much of it. He's able to hunt for food, scavenge for tools, and even finds potable water fairly easily. After a few weeks, he also comes across a ruin which seems to be inhabited.
The being inhabiting it is plainly a god, although he demurs and refutes such assertions whenever Binghe is too frank. He's a strange being, at turns looking like some queer approximation of a human, at other times blinking and winking in and out of existence, in patterns of strange lights and oddly geometrical fire. But he's surprisingly not hostile, letting Binghe rest in his residence, and even directing him towards points of interest. Accompanying him, too, though he seems to think that Binghe doesn't notice the odd almost spiderweb-like patterns that appear on things which he's influencing. The god calls himself The Peerless One, or at least that's what Luo Binghe infers from some writings on the ruin. The Peerless One offers instruction, seemingly without thinking about it, and gets flustered at being addressed by title, so Binghe also begins to refer to him as Shizun after a while.
