Q: Why did Li Luo's hair turn white?

AdamantWhen "Li Luo" put on Ka Suo's ring, her hair turned white, like that of an immortal of the Ice Clan (also, um, her name changes to Li Jing? Maybe?). Her eyes, though, stay dark brown, and do not change to the blue more characteristic of the Ice Clan. It didn't seem to come as a surprise to anyone...

SQB

A good option would be editing the message in TREU (within 2 minutes) to have it point to the message here, since it's in both rooms anyway.
 
That... would require a lot more development work.

Q: In Harry Potter, are House Elves being used as nurses?

DaisyBy "nurse" I am wondering if, for example, Narcissa was the one who was taking care of Draco when he was a baby, or was Dobby the one who changed his diaper and fed him at night? I can't imagine them trusting the house elves with their heirs, but also purebloods look like the kind of people to ha...

Robert ColumbiaOne of the things that has always bothered me about The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is how allows himself to be taken to the psychiatric hospital by Dr. Willett, several of his medical colleagues, and Charles's father.

Q: Why people think the Marauders were pranksters?

Q: Is Rumpelstiltskin partly based on the witch from the original Shrek! book?

Alex DownsOK, so I got this idea from the YouTuber The Theorizer, when he explains how Shrek 4 relates to his theory about Dama Fortuna and he says this is what he thinks. Also, Rumpel is a mixture of the past 3 villains, he has magical powers to help others “alter their fate,” like Dama Fortuna.
