that in the Chinese version of Disney’s Mulan, the fake name she gives is “Ping”, but her family name “Fa” in English is “Hua” in Chinese, therefore her full name is “Hua Ping”, which is literally “Flower Vase”, and that’s why Shang is so bewildered because it’s a silly name.
but OP how could you not tell them the best part
“hua ping”/flower vase is chinese slang for “camp gay”

Mulan, introducing her soldiersona: Hello yes it is me, a twink
There’s actually a simple explanation for why the class is being so mean to Marinette in the newest trailer despite nigh universally adoring her for the past two seasons.
No, seriously, that’s the only explanation.
The writers of this show don’t care about continuity, character, or consistency. Character relationship development can and will be reset at the drop of the hat to create cheap teen drama.
Best friends will turn on each other with no provocation, previous character development will be undone to create more ~tension~ and the plot as we know it will never advance because, frankly, it’s easier to keep churning out these amateur fanfiction plots than it is to create meaningful character driven stories.
Why did Adrien go back to being a salty brat despite gracefully accepting Ladybug’s rejection earlier?
Why does the whole class side with Lila over Marinette despite knowing the latter for only a handful of days?
Why does Chloe ping pong between redemption and increased selfishness depending on the weather/day of the week?
Seriously, if you want good character driven stories involving these characters, Ao3 has a wealth of them. Which is a good thing, because the showrunners have made it clear that they are only interested in creating cheap one-off plots that have no overarching meaning in the scheme of things.
Two confessions, one screw up and Marinette leaving the country was all it took for Adrien to figure out she was secretly Ladybug all along. Not that he could do much about it now. One year and multiple reveals later, Adrien, Alya, Nino, Nathaniel and Chloé have got this superhero best friends thing down. That is until Ladybug returns to Paris and they have to decide just how they are going to tell her the truth about what they know. The problem? Her identity is one secret that Marinette refuses to let go.
I asked @seasonofthegeek if I could write a Chlonath spinoff of her Adrienette stripper AU and she gave me permission. This is just one of many projects I told people I would do but still haven’t finished. I’ve only got maybe 2 pages on it and I haven’t even touched it in at least a year.
12 dates is a Christmas fic I started 2 years ago based on a Chlonath idea by @gigiree.
Basically Chloe is invited to Marinette and Adrien’s wedding, and decides to crash it and take Adrien back. Through magical shenanigans, she relives Christmas Eve over and over until she eventually stops being a bitchgets her head out of her ass learns her lesson and falls in love with Nathanael.
It’s on my list of fics to finish soon, because it’s been two Christmases since I started it and it’s still not finished.
Ugh, why can’t I just telepathically transcribe my fic into my computer?
