    Stephen Chow's name is written 周星馳, he likes to be called 星仔 as his nickname because it makes him feel young, but because of his status within the industry, he is called 星爷, which is a term of elevation and respect. However, if you translate 星爷 into English, the first thing that comes up is Star Lord.

    Maybe it's because anti-orgy is politically correct back in the day, considering sexual gathering of three or more is still illegal and punishable by imprisonment today, but since wuxia genre started, "harem-type" stories have always been around, and have been popular online, but IRL, only "pairing-type" stories are allowed to gain fame, and made into shows, like Jin Yong's, etc., but harem has always been around

    Reading these entertainment stories, I had no idea who "Big Sunglasses" (大墨镜) is, until someone explained it was Wong Kar-wai (王家卫), and he had some controversies which caused him to be censored here, which isn't uncommon, I mean, even Fan Bingbing is censored, but usually it's because authors don't want to use real name, because, you know, then again, Fan was fined 800MM for tax evasion lmao

    It never made sense that Dexter could build up such a massive laboratory without outside funding, and also without heavy industry, or precise instruments, or exotic matter, or eldritch knowledge... just from a then-median income, seemingly average American household, not even as an adult, in less than a decade, without personal income or knowledgeable mentor, while still being disrupted and misunderstood

    It never made sense that the sun wukong inspired pokemon is, for some reason, fire type, instead of rock type... the fighting type can remain, considering the buddhist title at the end of the journey, but the only aspect of sun wukong that is fire is his eyes, but there's no pokemon move that is basically eye beams or whatever

    They have "Time Stop" in Pathfinder just be this lame ass "you move super fast, as if you took another turn (used 12 seconds as if they were 6 seconds), but time never actually stopped"
    then they have "Time Stop" in DND be this "you have jumped outside of the realm of time, such that you affect nothing, but have gained more time as if time stopped"

    The choice of describing it as speeding up you rather than slowing down the entire world is basically to avoid giving odd connotations of a 9th-level (in 3.5/PF) being more wide-ranging in effect than many epic spells (affecting the entire world is on par with shit like Karsus' Avatar). Also avoids weird shit like someone "immune" to Time Stop seeing everything stop any time anyone in the world uses Time Stop.

    If you think about it, some of the martial arts in ranma can actually fit in a lot of wuxia stories too, alas, no ranma wuxia crossovers

    A lot of the "同时穿越" stories of the last year have been the type of "nerf the MC, don't share power, etc." type, but this year, a lot of them have become "not only share power, but also jump through hoops of logic, etc." like this one where the MC gains 北冥神功, which can absorb people's internal energy, but uses it to "absorb the power of heaven and earth", and then absorb zombies in RE1

    there's a female genre version of the apocalypse story, there's always revenge involved, the MC always moves out and leaves remote control controlled cameras behind, gets bank grade doors, stores supplies, etc.

    That's all expected, but for some reason the MC also buys cat litter box sand almost all the time, "in case of water stops pumping" as if that's enough to make human feces is not smell
    d.fish
    It's just this one story where there's an apocalypse (starts with zombies, then cold weather -100c, etc.) which is pretty nice, and MC starts with seducing a JK cosplay zombie with big boobies, there's like 239 chapters, but got cut off, idk, didn't update anymore, though later chapters about nation research etc. kinda lame and gay

    lmao some readers fed it into deepseek to keep reading tho

    Deja vu is when someone needs to interrogate you so they use sharingan illusion on you, and then afterwards makes you forget about the interrogation, but you feel like you experienced this before

    China is a place where if you stick out, you will die. This is why there is a commonly used tactic here called "killing with praise", as fame might not lead to actual death in most parts of the world, but here, if you're raised too high up, it will offend certain people, and alert certain people, and you will investigated, and cut down.

    It usually indicates underlying problems, such as rot in the fixture substrate or widening cracks, which makes hammering the fastener back down completely useless. 🙃

    During the Sui-Tang era, the general named Yuwen Huaji was being assassinated by a woman because he did horrible things to her parents, clan, and family, but she failed and got captured, and General Yuwen had his soldiers line up to rape her one by one. Months later, she was rescued by her husband and somehow they got back together or something.

    Where are the NTR doujins of this?

    Like, a lot of old works are tainted by the then politics of the day, but a lot of it has been forgotten; for example, Jin Yong's more popular works tend to paint taoists as sinful or inherently wrong, while depicting buddhists as truly good or forgivably flawed, and then making the manchu seem like good people, partly fueled by the manchu nobility descendants' wealth in the entertainment industry back then

    Romance of the Three Kingdoms treats Cao Cao as the villain, Liu Bei as the hero, Sun Quan as a schemer, Lu Bu as an arrogant fool, so on and so forth, but the few bits of recorded history and spoken lore say otherwise; Cao Cao was at first a loser and then as loyal as he could be with power, Lu Bu was a scholar, Liu Bei was a boisterous warlord, Sun Quan was a schemer...
