Brings in an unwilling student named Li Cu in on one of his adventures despite having no apparent connection to the boy. Li Cu and Wu Xie both deny any relation, but even the Wu family suspects Li Cu may be Wu Xie’s illegitimate child due to an uncanny resemblance Li Cu bears to young Wu Xie.

Nothing he does ever goes right XD

Constantly trying to steal from tombs. CONSTANTLY tripping traps. CONSTANTLY being caught by Wu Xie.

Extremely loyal to Wu Xie and Xiao Ge // Zhang Qiling.

Is often partnered with Xiao Ge // Zhang Qiling if the Iron Triangle separates on a mission (mainly because he got himself into something and Xiao Ge had to rescue him).

Tomb robber under the employ of Hendry Cox ( AKA Qiu De Kao).

Hired to work against Wu San Xing and Wu Xie, typically working with ulterior motives.

While Wu San Xing is flighty and mysterious, Pan Zi remains by Wu Xie’s side on his behalf. Is often left behind by Wu San Xing to keep an eye on Wu Xie and protect him.

As unquestionably loyal as Pan Zi is to Wu San Xing, he’s just as loyal to Wu Xie. Though if Wu Xie asks him to go against an order from Wu San Xing, he will resist.

Wu Xie’s right hand, who manages Wu Xie’s store for him while he goes on adventures (and arranges said adventures).

Wu Xie never remembers to pay him, so he’s constantly trying to get money out of his boss.

FIERCELY loyal, it is impossible to drive a wedge between Wang Meng and Wu Xie.

Only 4 living people have ever seen him without sunglasses: Xie Yu Chen, Wu Xie, Ya Nv, and Xiao Ge // Zhang Qiling.

Superior at all forms of combat.

Took on Wu Xie and later the teen Su Wan as his students.

A broke-ass bitch, he carries around his own credit card reader and tries to nickel and dime everyone for anything.

Addicted to fried rice with pork and green pepper. When Xie Yu Chen lost a bet to him, the Xie family erected a food stall that serves only that- and he gets to eat for free.

Chen Pi A Si

(Eventual) Leader of the Chen family, one of the Middle Clans of the Mystic Nine (along with the Wu and Hei families)

One of the original Mystic Nine heads, though often at odds with the rest.

A-Ning considers him as a father-figure to her, and he refers to her as his most precious asset.

An enemy of the Mystic Nine families.

Willing to compromise only if he sees a benefit to himself in it. 

A collector of Chinese antiquities, he is a natural opponent to Wu Xie, who believes cultural historical relics should belong to their country of origin rather than foreign collectors.

Agust D2 new sic video reminds e of the story of the man in the iron mask. A great movie.

Think about the au.

That yoongi had no idea who he was, just some orphan. But people come to him and tell him that his twin is a king who’s abusing his power. Yoongi then joins a mission to replace the king with him.

Just a thought.

When you can’t concentrate on the storyline because you keep getting distracted by all the GORGEOUS and detailed costumes in 陈情令

Reblog if you have a lot of gay ships

Reblog if you actually ship those ships for their chemistry, plot lines, and development and for more than just the gay

Reblog if it’s a little bit about the gay too……

Could someone draw Neil Josten in this T-shirt please? Or Andrew? Or any of the Foxes?

Because this is so him and I bet Allison or Andrew brought this top for him for fun.

My favorite thing about hobbits is how no other race has any idea how they work so they can just… bullshit their way through literally anything? Bilbo turns invisible and the dwarves just go “Yeah sounds about right, Gandalf did say they’re very sneaky” and don’t guess about the Ring. Frodo gets stabbed by a troll spear and survives unharmed and Aragorn goes “Oh right, hobbits are supposed to be resilient, that checks out. Very impressive!” and nobody thinks to ask if he’s got perhaps some kind of armor. I need to know what the line is. How weird does a hobbit need to get before they get called out??

Hey do you know what upsets me?

That Bodhi Rook is an underrated character in the star wars franchise. Like all the other Rouge One Crew gets additional content, like Cassian gets his own tv show. But the man who made it all possible? The dude who all we know is that he’s 25, Jedhan, was a cargo pilot, grew up with his mother and took up gambling while in the Empire. And though that’s at least better than some, compared to what the rest of his team gets its just sad.

And aside from the franchise barely recognizing him I feel like the fandom doesn’t either. Like for fanfics and fan art it’s a literal effort to find anything where Bodhi is the main focus and not a secondary character. My man doesn’t deserve that. I personally have like a small coin pouch full of ao3 fics on Bodhi but compared to the amount of Cassian, Jyn, Baze, and Chirrut fanfics it doesn’t seem to matter.

Maybe it’s because he doesn’t have a “key” relationship in the movie like Jyn/Cassian or Baze/Chirrut, but to me that makes him even more interesting. The outlier, the pilot, the only one of the Rouge One crew who dies alone, doing whatever he can to help. The one who unintentionally(but helpfully) got the rebellion’s attention on the death star files. Who got one of the most horrifying scenes in the movie(in my opinion) with the bor gullet, and kept on moving.

Bodhi Rook is amazing and I wish more people can see that.
