i like to think there’s a universe where after klance have their first kiss, keith says, “that was… pretty cool.” and then he dies on the spot, just sinks into the earth, horrified at himself.

That Cucumber Qingqiu only caught him because he knew the plot already and he only knew he's a transmigrator because of one slip up

Shang Qinghua canonically presents a very smooth and believable and charming front in that confrontation scene until he's caught out and then his real personality comes out

I know I make jokes about him as much as anyone but as much as he presents as a coward in battle with his sect mates we only see him really interact with them out of battle when he got caught

The few time in the extras when it's before are:

1. When he's trying to cover up what happened with Mobei and is allowed play up being distressed so he's not acting "normally"

2. On a mission with Liu Qingge and OG Shen Qingqiu who are two busy hating each other to really interact with him

3. The meeting to talk about how sus Cucumber Qingqiu is acting where he is treated with out suspicion and generally as an equal. I got no impression that he was generally disliked

The squirrelly nervous man who is cynical and a weirdo (affectionate) we see most of the time with Shen Qingqiu is not the Shang Qinghua the sect sees most of the time. It's Shang Qinghua relaxing and being his normal self without pretenses.

The other Shang Qinghua we see is the one who is in constant "mark me down as scared and horny" because he's near Mobei Jun

Shang Qinghua among his fellow peak lords before being exposed is decently respected (if not in battle) and not suspected at all
