Summary
Scattered through this movie are a couple of Latin words that play a surprisingly large role in its central conflict. What does HUNTR/X mean? What's the secret message at the beginning of "Your Idol"? Will my fellow Christians completely flip out in this comment section? Let's see!

After my second read-through of The Tomb of Dragons, I found myself rotating this little man in my head like a Rubik's cube. Some of which might be interesting or useful to somebody else, I hope.

Summary
Gideon does not come off as a severely abused and neglected child, and I think there's a reason for that.
Here's my theory: Gideon is Gideon in part because her mother has been haunting her for years.

Summary
What Wen Ning knows is: He is never going back to the group home for as long as he lives. He'll do whatever it takes.
The very first thing his sister asks, when she hears his voice, is, "Oh my god, A-Ning, where are you?"
"I'm safe," he says. "I'm with a friend. But I don't want you to find me."
(Wen Ning is a teenage runaway from a group home. Wei Wuxian is the older goth who gives him a place to stay.)

Summary
Nile learned fencing and longsword and hand-to-hand fighting long before she ever met Andy's small army. But learning with them is a new form of difficult. Not because they've got thousands of years more experience, but because this time the practice doesn't stop when somebody gets hurt.
So she has to learn about war and how you balance it out with peace. Figure out how they do it and who she wants to be. And decide which weapons suit her best.

Clothes of the Ming Dynasty: A TSOMD Reference by skepwith
Fandoms: 成化十四年 | The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (TV)
28 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
Breakdowns of what everyone’s wearing, from Tang Fan’s formal robes and Sui Zhou’s uniforms to Ming dynasty underwear and, yes, the “Mama Cui” outfit. Includes Dong’er, Wang Zhi and Ding Rong, Dr. Pei, Tang Yu, the Emperor, the Noble Consort, and many, many hats. This is by no means definitive or exhaustive, but it’ll give you something to describe in your fic beyond “a buncha robes.”*
*Which I have done. Sorry, Lan Zhan.
