#yea.

shen yuan is just like. some guy.

binghe is a famous actor who starred in the adaptation of sy’s “least favorite” book series (PIDW lol) binghe is LITERALLY his blorbo.

i can only imagine that, for the purposes of love square, sy and binghe HAVE met in their civilian forms. maybe at a signing? and then they just Keep Running Into Eachother.

binghe does instantly feel drawn to sy but hes a loyal cat and sy is NOT HIS SHIZUN so he doesnt care abt him. and then they. keep meeting. and sy. is not his shizun…right??? right guys??? (he starts to suspect him after the second time they meet as civilians but things just keep happening that make him dismiss the thought.)

crimson cat fell in love with lady beetle pretty much instantly. hes was nice to him one (1) time and cc was like. yep thats my wife.

i think lady beetle and crimson cat would have gotten their miraculous AROUND the same time, with lady beetle having gotten it slightly before. when they meet lb keeps making jokes abt teaching cc how to use it and calling him his disciple. cc obviously starts calling him shizun. it becomes a whole thing.

shen yuan still has crazy comphet and is like wow all the ladies must love binghe/crimson cat! he is soooo cool and talented and funny! wow he must get all the girls! hes so handsome!!

ALSO. i know tianlang-jun having the butterfly miraculous would like make sense for the show storyline but consider how fucking funny it would be if sqh was hawkmoth. mobei jun would have the peacock.
