Everybody was immortal, but there was nothing to cherish in life. You got a timer of how long you were alive: mine read 152 years. Underneath it, it read, "How will you escape this fruitless, miserable life?"

How to Kill Sun Wukong

Have you ever wondered what it would take to kill Sun Wukong? My new article describes a ritual borrowed from Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen yanyi, 封神演義, c. 1620) that would certainly kill our hero. It involves a secret, spiritual assault from a distance. That way, the villain doesn't have to worry about getting smashed into hamburger or ripped to shreds by an angry monkey immortal.

The ritual steals an immortal's spirit, tethers it to a straw effigy, and then kills the target by shooting the effigy in the eyes and heart with arrows.

You own an immortal cat. He's one of the oldest immortals there is. He's outlasted everyone whose owned him. He's seen ancient Egypt, seen the rise and fall of Rome, seen civilizations grow and fall. He's probably the only immortal this old to still feel like a normal part of the world. He's not like any other immortal there is, because to him the world hasn't changed that much, as long as there are still people who give him pets, and people who give him food. And a thousand years from now, he'll still be meowing at someone's door, while any immortal half his age is barely recognizable as their old self.

Anyone else on the planet or this timeline wondering what or who they need to sell, to get more old guard comic stories or the freaking movie sequel?

I can appreciate Booker was drunk longer, Quynh/Noriko was trapped longer, Joe and Nicky have loved longer and Andromache has lived longer but for this mere mortal this wait is something else.

【God of the Moon in Chinese Mythology-太阴星君/Tàiyīn xīng jūn】

Yesterday(9/29) was the Mid-Autumn Festival/中秋节(Zhōngqiū jié). I believe many people have heard the story about the Goddess of the Moon-Chang'e/嫦娥.

But there is another god of the moon in Chinese mythology that not many people know - 【太阴星君/Tàiyīn xīng jūn】

Folks often think that the 太阴星君/Tàiyīn xīng jūn is Chang'e/嫦娥, but scholars usually think that she is not or that she is Chang Xi/常羲, the wife of Emperor Jun/帝俊.

Changxi (Chinese: 常羲) or Changyi (Chinese: 常儀) is a Chinese lunar goddess worshiped in the traditional Chinese pantheon. Known from ancient times, the earliest historical information on Changxi can be traced back to the Classic of Mountains and Seas (山海经). She is the wife of Di Jun(Emperor Jun/帝俊) and the mother of twelve moons.

The earliest known mention of Changxi is made in the mythic text The Canon of the Mountains and Seas, romanised as Shan-hai Ching. A single line in it reads: "The Di Jun married Changxi, who gave birth to twelve Moons

The God of the Eastern Sky Di Jun had three wives, including Changxi, who was regarded as his first wife and Xihe(羲和)'s western counterpart; while Xihe(羲和) gave birth to the ten suns, Changxi bore twelve unique moon daughters that would complete a full journey across the heavens every day. She bathed her children in a water pool. Described as an "important early goddess", her significance amongst the deities gradually waned and she was eventually "demoted to a minor position"

Together, Xihe(羲和) and Changxi (常羲)are a representation of yin yang(阴阳). Xihe and her ten suns, and Changxi and her twelve moons represent the Chinese solar and lunar calendars respectively. Changxi is often confused with fellow lunar goddess Chang'e.

I was immortal and had a really intense dance fight in a middle school. It was supposed to be a real fight, but neither of us wanted to draw the wrong kind of attention. We ended up being recruited to a gymnastics team.
