Can I ask about your headcanon about Wu Xie's orientation/sexuality? Or at least what it seems like for you when you've read the books? I've seen pan and demi and ace. What's your take?
youtube
I've added timestamps there:
2:52 - Wu Xie not being interested in girls in the books 6:15 - Wu Xie describing people vs Wu Xie describing Xiaoge 12:10 - Wu Xie seeing Xiaoge as a romantic partner 15:23 - about A Ning
there were many asks, so I tried to add everything with quotes and arguments and everything <3

The Cloths of Christ: Holy Relics or Fakes?
Eli Kittim
Don’t be naive. Fakes, forgeries, and frauds are much more prevalent than you might think. Just as the “post-2002” Dead Sea Scrolls are fake, so are many Christian relics. For instance, take the “Titulus Crucis,” a piece of wood. Christian tradition claims that the relic contains a portion of the True Cross. Scientists, however, consider it to be a medieval forgery:
In 2002, the University of Arizona
conducted radiocarbon dating tests on the
artifact, and it was shown to have been
made between 980 and 1146 AD. The
carbon dating results were published in the
peer-reviewed journal Radiocarbon.
— Wiki
The same holds true for many other relics. Yet despite these setbacks, Christian archaeologists continue to make sensational claims that they have found the burning bush, the tomb of Jesus, the house of Peter, the Veil of Veronica (which btw is never mentioned in the canonical Gospels), and the like. They’re doing a great disservice to Christianity by promoting sensationalism and fake news. By advertizing hoaxes, fakes, and forgeries, they’re setting up Christianity to be mocked and ridiculed, and ultimately rejected. Once people realize that these relics are nothing more than fakes, frauds, and forgeries, they would want nothing to do with Christianity. In other words, the veracity of the Christian message is at stake. They’re setting people up to apostatize and deconstruct their faith. This is actually an attack on——not a support of——the Christian faith!
Pious Frauds
The Sudarium of Oviedo cloth——which is believed to be the post-mortem cloth that was wrapped around Jesus’ head, as mentioned in John 20:6–7——has been dated to around 700 AD by radiocarbon dating:
It’s a hoax!
The Manoppello Image of Jesus Christ’s face on a cloth is also a fake:
Most researchers state that, despite fringe
claims of divine origins, the face on the veil
at Manoppello clearly conforms in
appearance to the characteristics of an
artificially-made image and that stylistically
it is similar to images dating to the late
Middle Ages or early Renaissance.
— Wiki
The Shroud of Turin is also a 13th to 14th century hoax:
In 1988, radiocarbon dating by three
different laboratories established that the
shroud's linen material was produced
between the years 1260 and 1390 (to a
95% confidence level). Defenders of the
authenticity of the shroud have questioned
those results, usually on the basis that the
samples tested might have been
contaminated or taken from a medieval
repair to the original fabric. Such fringe
hypotheses have been refuted by carbon-
dating experts and others based on
evidence from the shroud itself, including
the medieval repair hypothesis, the bio-
contamination hypothesis and the carbon
monoxide hypothesis.
— Wiki
However, there was a recent research study on the Shroud of Turin (April 2022) by Dr. Liberato De Caro’s team which used the new “Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering” or WAXS method to determine the age of the shroud. They claim that they found a match with a piece of fabric from c. AD 55-74 from the siege of Masada in Israel. However, it is as yet unknown whether or not the findings are accurate. As far as I know, they have not been independently confirmed or multiply-attested by other laboratories. Dr. De Caro himself noted that his work was simply “evaluated and peer-reviewed by three other independent experts,” including the editor of the journal “Heritage,” which published his findings. But that doesn’t mean that the results were correct, multiply attested, or independently confirmed. It just means that a couple of editors thought that the experiment was worthy of publication. In fact, Dr. Liberato De Caro himself expressed the need for further research, especially “blind” tests to “avoid any possible bias in the data analysis by the authors of the research.” Bottom line, this new study has not yet conclusively refuted the 1988 radiocarbon dating findings by three different laboratories which established that the shroud is a medieval hoax.
As early as 1390, about 35 years after the
Shroud first emerged in France, Pierre
d'Arcis, the Catholic bishop in Troyes, wrote
to Pope Clement VII that the shroud was ‘a
clever sleight of hand’ by someone ‘falsely
declaring this was the actual shroud in
which Jesus was enfolded in the tomb to
attract the multitude so that money might
cunningly be wrung from them.’
— NBC News
The Roman Catholic Church considers the
Shroud to be an icon, not a holy relic.
— NBC News
Now, a new study using modern forensic
techniques suggests the bloodstains on the
shroud are completely unrealistic,
supporting arguments that it is a fake.
— Livescience
‘If you look at the bloodstains as a whole,
just as you would when working at a crime
scene, you realize they contradict each
other,’ Borrini said. ‘That points to the
artificial origin of these stains.’
— Livescience
Enough already with the hoaxes and the
fake news❗️

Hi! I'm 5 eps in to Reunion: SOTP And I watch the Tomb of Sea last year. Can you help clarify a couple of characters? I had originally thought Xiao Ge and Black Glasses were the same person but obviously not. Black Glasses ran around saving Wu Xie's butt in ToS like XG is doing but XG wasn't in ToS? And what about the teens? and the base at the end? (ok that's just me with other random plot questions which are just bugging me.... Can you help?
Ok, I’m not an expert, but I do have a lot of screen caps of these guys so I’ll do my best...
Xiao Ge, real(ish) name Zhang Qiling, is this guy in Tomb of the Sea: 
Tumblr media
He’s not in a lot of it, but he is in there. 
Every series has different actors, except sometimes one actor will repeat, which makes things confusing. 
Wang Pangzi in Tomb of the Sea is the same actor as Wang Pangzi in Reunion (aka Reboot). 
Zhang Qiling in Tomb of the Sea is the same actor as Zhang Qiling in Ultimate Note. 
Zhang Rishan’s been the same actor in 3 different DMBJ things.His character is related to Zhang Qiling, distantly - they’re not siblings or direct cousins or anything like that, but they have similar tattoos and longevity.
(Those aren’t the only repeats; just the ones that immediately come to mind)
Most of the stories focus on “The Iron Triangle” which is 
1. Wu Xie, who is usually played by someone cute with floppy hair, 
2. Wang Pangzi, who is usually some variety of “fat” but that can just mean “not as skinny as the other two” 
3. Zhang Qiling/Xiao Ge who often, but not always, wears a hoodie.  He looks younger than the other guys but he’s actually an immortal. He has the most nicknames of anyone in the shows, I think:  His actual name is Zhang Qiling. They mostly call him Xiao Ge which means “little older brother” or “younger older brother” (i.e. if you have 2 older brothers, you might call the younger one Xiao Ge and the older one just Ge). They sometimes call him Men You Ping, which means something like “quiet oil bottle” but gets subtitled “Pokerface” or “Mute” in English. This is why the ship name for Xiao Ge x Wu Xie is “PingXIe.” And they call him Qilin (Kylin according to English subs) which is the magical creature he’s got tattoo’d on him. 
There are a lot of friends and frenemies outside the group who show up in different things. Black Glasses is one of those. He is usually the only one they show wearing sunglasses. He is fairly chatty and he likes money a lot.
The teens in Tomb of the Sea are only in that story.
One extra confusing thing in going from Tomb of the Sea to Reunion/Reboot is that Liu Chang plays bad guy Wang Can in Tomb of the Sea...
Tumblr media
and then plays a totally different person, Liu Sang, in Reunion/Reboot.  
Tumblr media
Just think of it like a long-running theater production and it makes it a little easier to get used to the actors shuffling around.

Must-Have Packs To Get The Most Out Of The Sims 4 – AcrossTheFader.BIZ
In the event you have been hooked by the Sims 4 base recreation and are prepared to reinforce your playthrough, there are a slew of DLCs that provide a richer expertise. After its rough preliminary debut, Sims 4 has since stepped up with free updates and content that appease longtime fans. Nevertheless, buying all of the packs would easily value you over $500, and with seven enlargement packs, seven recreation packs, and 14 stuff packs, you could be at a loss of where to begin. For many who are overwhelmed by the prospect of which DLC to decide on, we’ve compiled an inventory of our favourite packs. Although we are nonetheless bemoaning the absence of fashionable Sims 3 staples like Supernatural and University, there isn’t any shortage of inspired gameplay in the Sims 4.
Enlargement Packs
Enlargement packs supply probably the most options and are the costliest, costing $39.99.
Island Dwelling
This current release has already proven to be a strong entry. Together with mermaids, this pack has plenty of new gameplay, especially in relation to new features and traits in create-a-sim. “Child of the Islands” and “Child of the Ocean” both introduce some unique new ways to interact inside the island of Sulani. Connecting with the culture and tending to the island is rewarding. Gamers can actually see the influence their sims make on the island with cleaner beaches, greener timber, and even more flowers.
Creating a mermaid is loads of enjoyable, since you possibly can achieve some lovely designs in your mythical creature. Though their talents are surface degree (the Vampires pack, as compared, has mild RPG mechanics that can help you study new magical expertise), the aesthetics alone are well worth the worth of admission since each mermaid seems to be awesome when swimming round and befriending dolphins. You may also enchant individuals together with your siren’s name, whether your intent is matchmaking or mayhem.
When you love constructing in the Sims, then this pack is a must have. The world of Sulani is fascinating, with seaside venues and expansive ocean waters. It’s a joy to construct a home that permits your sims to get up in the morning and dive right into the sea from their patio.
Get Well-known
Within the Sims 4, you’ll be able to attain success by climbing a career-path ladder to the highest, however different sims gained’t care about your renowned accomplishments… till you add the Get Famous enlargement pack.
When your sims achieve a milestone like touchdown a lead position within the hottest pirate film, writing their next great novel, or catching an enormous fish, your sims construct their fame degree. Different sims will need to take their picture and get their autograph. Having different sims gawk and have a fan freak-out over your sim is amusing and gratifying; it looks like a reward for all of the arduous work you set towards their superstar status.
The capability to go to movie units, that are full of props like pirate ships and saloons, can also be plenty of enjoyable. You possibly can put your sim by means of the hair and makeup departments and make them perform for the cameras. Your success will depend on how a lot you’ve honed your appearing talent, your rapport with the rest of the crew, and judgement calls on whether to take dangers when performing. Depending on how the director reacts, the performance could possibly be a flop or a complete success. Both means, both are amusing to observe.
Seasons
Seasons ought to be on everybody’s must-have record. Not only does it convey welcome variations to the weather because of changing seasons, however it adds a great deal of new clothing and building gadgets so your sims can correctly put together for snow days or the sweltering heat. Two new clothing sections can be found for summer time and winter put on, and there are plenty of new additions in build mode, similar to a thermostat to manage indoor local weather and stockings to hold in your hearth. All this helps accommodate for the weather and holidays.
You will get right into a festive temper regardless of the event, receiving presents from Father Winter (who truly visits your home on Christmas Eve – you’ll be able to even befriend him), sending out love notes on Love Day, or creating an official vacation of your personal. You possibly can assign timeframes and actions for sims to get into the holiday spirit. Treat Yo’Self Day and Purge Day are private favorites of mine because who doesn’t need to spoil their sims or dedicate a day to duking it out with their noisy neighbors? You possibly can dedicate the day for gift-giving rituals and even encourage sims to interact in a full-on brawl for holidays. It’s as much as you.
Though this enlargement doesn’t add another world, the wealth of latest gameplay makes up for that. Until you experience an sudden blizzard or warmth wave, outside experiences are fun. Without the pack it can be robust to seek out a lot to do in your backyard. With Seasons, sims could make snow angels, rake leaves, dance in puddles, and even freeze to demise when you’re not careful.
Cats And Canine
No create-a-sim family feels complete and not using a little pupper or kitten. The creature creation on your pets is expansive and gives so many alternatives to make your pet as artistic and unique as attainable, from mixing breeds or adorning them with neon inexperienced fur. My most cherished design is a robotic-looking kitten to go together with my alien sim.
Along with the brand new world of Brindleton Bay, there’s additionally the veterinarian career path, so your sim can work to assist remedy beloved pets in addition to perform surgical procedure. The pets go right into a machine where your sim vets “operate” on pets from the surface by wanting in by way of an x-ray monitor. Make sure you climb up the brand new veterinary talent tree so the little ones don’t come out of the machine as crops or decked out in a clown go well with.
The pets aren’t just added for aesthetic value, both. Unfortunately, you aren’t capable of control pets like you possibly can in The Sims three, however there are nonetheless loads of interactions. You possibly can practice your pets to study new tips and navigate by means of obstacles, or your critters could be lazy and simply take pleasure in cuddling together with your sim on the couch. The means to offer your pets traits makes them really feel extra sensible they usually may even develop fears. Pets nonetheless have wants, and the “what’s wrong?” interaction may give you a heads up on what your little buddy craves.
Recreation Packs
Recreation packs supply a modest quantity of content and sometimes come priced at $19.99.
Jungle Journey
Two of The Sims 4’s recreation packs supply a vacation destination in your sims, however the one that basically stands out is Jungle Adventure. There are so many extra adventurous and worldly options for clothing and construct mode. You possibly can simply make your sim into a Nathan Drake or Lara Croft sort and set them up in a Central/South American-themed residence.
Exploring tombs is spooky and thrilling. Not solely are you able to stumble upon skeletons, but you danger having your sims cursed and reworked into skeletons as properly. Relying on if the transformation is a curse or blessing, you’ll both get stuck in skeleton type or have the ability to change again everytime you need. It will either make you need to snicker or punch a gap by way of your monitor. There isn’t any in-between.
Scavenging for artifacts will ultimately culminate in the formation of an entire relic. Assembling a relic might be fulfilling, especially with the shock curses or blessings they generate, like the curse of the private raincloud, the blessing of the skeleton assistant, and even one thing as brutal because the marked for demise relic, where your sim can burst into flames and die.
Interacting with the locals won’t solely work in your favor to seek out cures for illnesses or curses, but you can too purchase unique gadgets to assist in your trek via the jungle and survive random hazards comparable to lightning-bug assaults. There are also interactions that spotlight native traditions. You possibly can ask the locals about their tradition, dance with them in Selvadoradian fashion, and study songs to convey back house with you.
Vampires
It’s never a uninteresting moment when mythical creatures are concerned. In contrast to the Mermaids in Island Dwelling, Vampires have a talent tree, which provides rather a lot to the gameplay. As your sims grow to be more adept in vampire lore, they degree up and unlock more powerful talents, reminiscent of teleportation with bat and mist varieties. Positive, you possibly can already teleport with cheats, but vampires get to do it in fashion.
Choosing your vampire sim’s perks and skills is riveting. You start off as a weak vampire with primary powers, comparable to detecting different sims’ personalities. As you develop stronger, you possibly can degree up their preventing expertise to allow them to vanquish other vampires, max out appeal in order that they’re irresistible to other sims, or even develop into masters of hallucination to allow them to feed off of the sims of their selection without the awkward social consequences.
The new world of Forgotten Hollow comes with the Vampires recreation pack, and it might be small, but the darkish theme and design is perfect for the brooding creatures. You’ll be able to create a vampiric mansion and transfer in right next to Vladislaus Straud, who resembles Dracula. Don’t be fooled by his outward look; he appears previous, however he’s truly a younger grownup. He’s also single, so don’t be shy if you want to put the strikes on him.
Parenthood
Parenthood is one other key addition to the Sims 4, particularly for players that need to give attention to constructing a family. Whereas this can be a must-have pack, we want that this was included in the base recreation, considering the large enhancements it brings to one of many core gameplay pillars of The Sims. The base recreation consists of a huge family tree aspiration, but Parenthood expands on this concept so it includes extra than just having your sims pump out babies.
Toddlers not often get any new content or gameplay additions, so the extra clothes and substantial interactions that come with Parenthood are greater than welcome. The interplay inside households consists of giving recommendation, praising, and disciplining your youngsters. This is partaking, as a result of the extra you interact with them, the extra their personalities start to shift to mirror the communication. Together with growing your parental expertise, you’ll be able to affect your youngsters’s actions and talk about how they should behave as they transfer ahead into adulthood.
Parenting expertise can develop for anybody that interacts with toddlers, youngsters, and teenagers. With this new bonding gameplay, relationships feel far more meaningful. I have a household where a young lady takes care of her little sister, and as a result of meager finances, they should reside with two of her pals. When it gets irritating to cope with her little sister, her pals step in and assist. Emergent stories like these evoke emotions for players even during mundane activities like gathering everyone to the lounge flooring for a faculty venture.
Strangerville
This recreation pack announcement raised plenty of eyebrows. Story targeted parts in the Sims are likely to put individuals off, however this pack truly pulled it off and still provided loads of different things to do, as well as an in depth world that doesn’t prohibit your expertise.
The point of the sims is to be whoever you need to be, and this one opens up an entire new desert world with a dedicated story and army profession path, which allows you to turn out to be a undercover agent. The army branch matches in completely with sims who’re making an attempt to determine what’s happening in Strangerville, but you can too play by means of the story without it. Though you can’t go to work together with your army sim, you possibly can have them “work from home” when you have the City Dwelling enlargement pack. This lets you be extra concerned in their career both by means of coaching or investigating individuals around city.
So as to comply with the story, it’s a must to select the Strangerville Thriller aspiration. The narrative introduces parts we haven’t seen before in The Sims which might be bonkers and a ton of fun because of mild RPG mechanics and building a resistance to battle off an evil menace. With whispers of a authorities conspiracy and all your neighbors in Strangerville going nuts, the thriller of the town becomes increasingly more alluring. Although it’s brief, you accrue loads of rewards akin to cupcakes and fan mail whenever you complete the narrative. The furnishings (corresponding to weeds growing in a tub or mysterious machinery) additionally presents plenty of weird build ideas, supplying you with the right options for making a secret laboratory on your sim. The new laptops are a strong addition as properly.
Stuff Packs
Stuff packs are small add-ons that often solely value $9.99.
Movie Hangout
Bohemian Stuff or Psychedelic Hippie Stuff might have been a more applicable identify for this pack, contemplating how colorful and artsy the furnishings is. The new clothes and build-mode gadgets are satisfying additions that we will’t think about enjoying with out.
New wall decorations, couches, coffee tables, and ceiling lights convey so much vibrancy to your builds. They will easily turn into favorites when designing a home and infusing it with character. There’s even an enormous tree draped with lanterns that may be a lovely addition to any backyard.
Backyard
In the event you’re on the lookout for more outside-focused gameplay, then Yard stuff is a best choice. Not only does it supply rural ambiance with objects like wind chimes and fowl feeders, but choices like lawn waterslides allow enjoyable neighborhood get togethers. You’ll be able to throw barbeque parties while everybody falls flat on their face making an attempt to slip across.
This can be a great pack to spruce up both your front or backyard with extra lively features. These things pack can simply complement Seasons as properly for the summer time months, comparable to having your sim drink lemonade whereas family and friends play on the slide.
Romantic Garden
When you take pleasure in landscaping, then this pack will put you over the moon because it helps make your yard look beautiful. Romantic Backyard Stuff is particularly helpful when designing an outside wedding ceremony.
One other fascinating addition is the wishing nicely, which isn’t your common yard function. You’ll be able to ship your sims on a wishing marathon to see if any wishes come true, but typically they get the precise opposite of what they want. Romance, happiness, wealth, long life, youthful vigor, good grades, a promotion, a toddler, or a selected talent all have numerous outcomes. The extra you bribe the properly, the more doubtless you’ll get what you asked for. Additionally, in case you have hassle protecting your sims alive, the properly proves useful in bringing them back to life.
Cool Kitchen
Because the identify implies, this pack is great for sims who need more variety when building and decorating their kitchens. The new knife rack, cabinets, and spice racks for construct mode deliver a homey aesthetic and a contact of realism. However the ice cream is where this pack will get really enjoyable.
There are 30 flavors, with toppings of your selection, that have varying results on your sims. Relying on your sims’ traits, they’ll have a favourite. Childish sims love sprinkles and whipped cream, commitment-issue sims love peppermint sticks and nuts, and gloomy sims don’t like all.
Ice cream doesn’t just make your sims comfortable, nevertheless. This is The Sims, in any case, and even consuming ice-cream can have dire penalties as some flavors may cause a ghost to visit, make your sims drop extra pounds, or even breathe hearth that can set different sims aflame. Think about that being written on your tombstone.
There’s still lots to return with the Sims 4. Choosing from all of the content packs out there isn’t straightforward. Hopefully this record helped you out find the perfect packs to make a well-rounded Sims 4 experience.
Sims 4 has grown immensely from its predecessors, watch our let’s play of Sims 2: Castaway to see for yourself.
