MDL's 2024 Challenge FAQ and Discussion

ColourMePurple:
Thanks for confirming the festival Prompt.
I was looking into Mei Lin 's name's meaning and there are multiple translations.So Mei can be translated to Rose.
https://www.behindthename.com/name/meilin/submitted
Another website gives the translation of MeiLin as beautiful rose or plum blossom among others. Plum blossom is said to be resilient so it would make sense if her character was named after it.

I will keep watching and hopefully we find a strong case for her name's meaning.

I want it to explain her name soon ;) but the possibility of it meaning ‘plum blossom’ is quite high, since we have what seems to be plum trees on the cover and in the opening of the drama. I’m looking forward to the confirmation, then the flour leaf clover will be complete, and we’ll be happy because this leaf flower is the hardest to fulfill.

Oh My Gosh! We have our Four Leaf Clover!

By the way, this show can also be used normally in a block as well as a Leap Flower, right?

Hello everyone,

Little question regarding the spot the insect on plants (prompt 23), butterflies and others stuff from prompt 24 (spot supporting characters). ==> Does it need to be "moving"/"alive" ?

- For example for the butterflies: I have seen a TV show that features a gigantic butterfly (kind of a statue / art piece) as central component of one of the performance/song ==> Does it count ? (Or is it better to stick to moving / alive butterflies : like in The Sound of Magic, there are a lot of flying butterflies everywhere, but those are kind of magically created. I assume that it counts ?)

-Other example that comes to mind: if you saw on a painting, an art mural, or clothes : painted flowers, embroidery with insects...Can you use this on a prompt where you are asked to spot it ? Or not ?

It is just some overthinking on my side but would appreciate your thoughts on this :D Thanks !!!

I think "non-alive" butterflies/insects (whether in a painting or an embroidery etc) should count as the prompt doesn't mention anything about them being alive or real. I vaguely remember someone asking if the animated butterflies in a drama's intro/ending song counted and the answer was 'yes'. So, these too should count. However, the "insect on a plant" prompt probably needs both the insect and the plant to be alive and real. I hope someone else can confirm.
