The unassailable truth of Shen Qingqiu (Yuan version) is that binghe is his most important person. He loves binghe so much he literally destroyed fate to insert himself into his life (snapping shen qingqiu's and Yue qingyuan's red string), on top of the rest of it. Which! Makes being an inherent multishipper/polyashipper so HARD. Because yes! He has two hands. And may even consent to one of them not holding his husband's hand. And! He is the king of mental gymnastics so he would in fact find himself in another emotionally committed relationship without internalizing it as a relationship that may infringe on the emotional boundaries of his and binghe's marriage (and binghe may be alternatively too twice-bitten shy to bring that up or overly possessive so that shen qingqiu can ignore his complaints without serious talking it out skills they both sincerely lack) but he would definitely drop any and every thing for binghe at a moment's notice without SERIOUS plot contrivance

There's a reason most sqq-is-getting-with-someone-else scenarios happens while binghe is still 14 or paying tuition for his abyss schooling (unless it's 3some time in which case the bingqiu of it all is usually already established)!! The glaring lack of binghe in fics desperately trying to not be about binghe is so funny

Anyways mostly I think this is hilarious in context of cumplane shipping because shen yuan is also crazy about airplane shooting towards the sky, like for proper lack of binghe (and the pidw world shen yuan fucking loves*) shen yuan would absolutely fixate on airplane the way he fixates in lbh BUT the MOMENT binghe becomes real in an actualized tangible way, shen yuan would unfortunately drop airplane like a hot potato (with lots of mental gymnastics)

like completely unintentionally and rationalizing it as helping airplane's best bit of writing the whole time, he'd fall face first into binghe whatever form he took leaving airplane to be like: [puppy dog eyes] bro!

I think this is mostly funny in this context because airplane can also be shallow and emotionally constipated so there's a way that whole mess could be funny instead of tragic. Like, for as much of shen yuan's/shen qingqiu's entire personality is based on airplane's actions and Luo binghe in specific, airplane doesn't have the same emotional attachment to cucumber! Airplane has his weird emotional obsession with his own work! So like, he would be, at least partially, completely flattered and vindictive that shen yuan immedietly obsessed over his suddenly incarnated self insert edgy oc.

But like, ANY OTHER shade of this dynamic is so wholly tragic. The second most popular form of shen yuan/qingqiu is in a relationship with someone else and it is Not a 3some is Binghe is The Antagonist to some terrifying degree in order to keep them separate. Like there's no form of au in which binghe exists as a platonic friend because they're whole Thing is being Obsessed with each other

Uh anyways, to get around the inherent emotional see-saw of this dynamic, I definitely subscribe to the Shen Yuan is in Romo for ALL of pidw, fixating on binghe yes because he is the pure distillation of PIDW originally, but post transmigration when he is immersed in the PIDW world, and learns to let himself grow as a person, that world begins to revolve around him. Oh that Asterix from earlier goes here.

The reason so many people in svsss fixate on sqq beyond the bl tropes or whatever is simply because airplane wrote pidw for his fans and cucumber is his biggest one, so of course when shen yuan transmigrates in and starts inserting himself into things the world bends over backwards to fall in love with him.

Like. Airplane's system hates him and he doesn't connect to any of the characters I think because even though he loves the story it is too close to himself. It's a reflection of who he is: someone desperate and wanting to do good/create but being crushed under a system he can't fight. It's the one self indulgent thing he writes into his story that he keeps even after "selling out" that lets him grow (mobei jun).

I dont know where I'm going with this . Uh. SVSSS harem ending when I guess.
