So far as I can tell, in the series Cursed, the Spanish version decided to call the Fey los Inefables.
Now, it is easy enough to understand why they did not simply go with the English word "Fey," since it is easily confused with the Spanish word fe, meaning faith. However, I cannot understand the...
The Widow comes to the dying and sucks their souls out, or something along those lines. But does she merely sense their death and come to usher their souls on to the afterlife, or does she cause it?
On the one hand, she certainly confronts Morgana in order to try to stop her from interfering, whi...
When Morgana is in the Cailleach's lair, the latter puts a spider in her body. However, what she gains by doing this is not clear.
On the one hand, we see Morgana chanting monotonously at the party in Episode 7, or thereabouts, while the spider crawls out of her eye socket, which is definitely a ...
Ok, so famously, in Endgame Captain America fights an earlier (and comically patriotic) version of himself:
Number of Caps: 2
It was also discovered that when he went back in time to live with Peggy Carter, it was entirely possible that 'old-Cap' was alive in that...
According to this post, we know of 3 recent Shadow Wars. One 10,000 years ago, the second 1,000 years ago and the last in the 2260s. The Shadows and the Vorlons are far older than these recent conflicts. Wikipedia says that both races have been in conflict for at least a million years.
How long h...
From the novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
Immediately a thick coppery green chain appeared out of thin air, extending from the depths of the water into Dumbledore’s clenched hand. Dumbledore tapped the chain, which began to slide through his fist like a snake, coiling itself on the...

Challenges
Topic Challenges run on some various sites across the network, for example on Literature, and are a good way to bring in traffic, certainly to low traffic tags. They are featured in the side bar in an "Upcoming Events" section and help promote certain things.

I recall reading a book in the 5th grade about a boy, a girl and a dog that end up traveling through space with an odd lizard-like alien. The kids found a piece of metal (a disk) and nailed it to their play "space ship" they have built. The alien is sort a master of disguise but he does it rath...
I am trying to remember the name of a book of short stories. It was a very thin paperback, with only 4 or 5 stories, and the cover was predominantly black. I don’t remember if it had any image on it. It was probably published in the 1970s, or possibly the early 80s.
The story I remember best was ...
This TV show is old, as I remember it, probably 90's or before. The only thing I can remember is that it involves a man that could become a child... like shape shift. I think they had two actors, one for his 'boy' and one for his 'man' form. That's like all I can remember...
In Upgrade (2018), Eron visits Grey, who lost hands:
Eron: You're someone who liked to get things done with their hands. Now you can't. I'm sorry, was that inappropriate? I'm not around enough people to know the difference.
What does "difference" refer to?
When I was younger I read this book about superheroes. Its protagonist gained super speed during a childhood baseball game and knocked over the seating stand. It was called it was kind of in a similar vain to the film Zoom.
In the prior years, I recall SE running a series of assorted contests (per topic, overall site participation) with prizes on the line.
Then this stopped completely.
Is there an "official" statement from SE on this? (e.g., was there a business decision that such contests were not useful/helpful ...
Orcs are commonly depicted as being green skinned, tusked, pointy eared humanoids. and while the green skin part was made by games like Warcraft, i not so sure about the tusks or pointy ears. was there any canonical reference in any of Tolkien's work to orcs having pointy ears or tusks?
How did Juggernaut still have his helmet while he was in prison? When he escapes, he has his helmet on. I can’t believe they would have just let him keep it on while there, or would bring it with them during the transport. Was there any explanation of how/why he still had it?
Is there an in-universe reason why when Leia died she wasn't given a traditional Jedi funeral (cremation)?
Simply put: Did Cap ever go to college?
In any continuity, did Cap or Steve get a formal degree?
