    Summary

    The idea behind “And That's Why We Don't Joke About Necromancy” is straightforward: the cameras follow a group of Chinese American cultivators as they prepare for an upcoming cultivation conference hosted in San Francisco. Each episode focuses on a different sect, and we get a rare back-stage glimpse into the inner workings of some of the most powerful and mysterious groups in the cultivation world.

     

    But that summary doesn't do the documentary justice. The filmmakers use the framing of the cultivation conference to expose petty jealousy, family tension, and genuine tragedy, counterbalanced with some hilarious moments (not all of them intentional) and even a hint of romance.

    Summary

    Being an art student is hard enough without finding classical paintings that suggest that you've had a soulmate in multiple timelines, but Wei Wuxian guesses that this is just how his luck runs.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan thankfully cuts him off right there, his ears flushing a deeper shade of red. “No balloons. I have a work function I must attend and I need a plus one. My brother will be attending and I would like to make it very clear to him that I am not interested in being set-up with my female coworkers.”

    “So you’re looking for someone to make it really obvious that you’re gay? Scare them off with how super-queer they are?” Wei Ying’s tone is light, but he can’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment., He’d gotten his hopes up too quickly — what did he think? That a guy like this would want a relationship with him? He mentally runs through his Grindr pics and cringes internally. He was picked because of his weird gay undercut and crop top and embarrasing tattoos. You don’t go looking for relationships on Grindr, Wei Ying reminds himself irritably.

    Summary

    The Lan Sect was known for their poise, their intellect, their elegance and refinement, their perfect self-control, their thousands of rules. What they were not known for, was what that self-control was meant to hold back.

    It was known that the Lan loved but once, it was not known how strongly the Lan loved.

    When a love confession in the middle of battle is turned into a politicly expedient arranged marriage, it became Lan Xichen's duty to keep that secret contained, and ensure his brother did not dishonor his intended before the wedding. Lan Xichen has handled battle, hardship, loss, and war. He is sure that he, too, can handle keeping Wangji out of Wei Wuxian's robes for a matter of months.

    Mostly sure, anyway.

    Summary

    Each one of the four major sects had their own rich, ancient traditions. None were, perhaps, quite as strange as the Jiang sect of Yunmeng.
    The Jiang prided strength and passion in both their men and women, and this pride had brought forth the strangest of all marriage customs, unique to the Jiang of Yunmeng and relatively unknown save for those old enough to be interested in such traditions.
    No one had ever expected that Lan Wangji, of the Gusu Lan, would ever have needed to be taught about this peculiar custom of the Jiang. An oversight that would become both lamented and celebrated in equal measure.
