I love this site, and it's advice and linked resources in the FAQ article are incredibly useful. If you're learning Chinese (or learning languages in general with a focus on reading) I'd recommend a read through of this page:
Heavenly Path FAQ and Reading Tools page
I also love the reading excerpt examples they give. I've read parts of all the novels they use examples of on their FAQ, and it was really cool to see the explanations line up so much with what I've both practiced with and plan to eventually read more of.

wild rosemary [bahulʹnyk]
⠀⠀⠀//: wild rosemary is a poisonous plant of the Far East and some regions of Siberia. its leaves and branches (and especially flowers, pollen and seeds) emit a sharp, specific intoxicating smell. in the old days, rural tavern-keepers often insisted wild rosemary in moonshine in order to stupefy the client and extract more money from him.
⠀⠀⠀Somewhere it was believed that with its help you can send madness, cause an evil spirit, somewhere it was considered one of the most effective love potions. in Carpathian legends, it is depicted as a strong love spell. in the Far East there is an ancient belief, remotely similar to the legend of the fern, that the wild rosemary is a magical bush that can talk, knows all the secrets, including where the treasures are buried.
⠀⠀⠀In the symbolic language of plants, rosemary flowers symbolize courage and disregard for death. for centuries it was believed that rosemary strengthens memory and clarity of mind, improves mood, protects against evil influences from outside and evil thoughts inside.
⠀⠀⠀Blooming, it paints all the hills in a bright, unnatural color - as if the dawn had spread over the mountains and glades.

Frankly Sir, the whole procedure was a joke. For all their power they’re just a bunch of undisciplined runts. The leader was the only one halfway decent at lying to my face and he broke upon seeing the Key.
Were you able to gather any further information in regards to the Key’s whereabouts?
None yet. However, it’s obvious that these mutants were involved somehow…
…Do you suspect they had a hand in acquiring the Key for the enemy?
I… can’t say for certain yet. However, I doubt any sort of intentional collaboration occurred.
And what of their origin?
Obviously falsified. But to what degree I can’t say. The DNA samples however have been far more enlightening.
How so?
They’re different from other mutants, human or animal. They’re completely free of the usual abnormalities. It’s almost as if… they were designed to be what they are. Instead of just some freak accident.
…Your final assessment, then? Given the information you’ve gathered it appears they should be immobilized and transported for further testing.
With all due respect, Sir, I wouldn’t dare hand them over to the labs. I’m not about to let those coats dissect the only edge we now have against the Krang. Frankly I don’t care if they’re turtles or humans or even more aliens. They’re the best chance we have at winning this war. Given the state of things I feel they will side with our cause.
…Then, so long as they prove useful, I shall defer to you, Agent Bishop. Keep in mind that it is EPF‘s job not only to protect the people of Earth from threats such as the Krang but from those within our own walls. It will be your job to keep them under constant surveillance. And should they step out of line in the slightest…
I understand, Sir.

I wasn't going to post this, but I have been receiving a number of questions in regards to the interview / interrogation. While I don't think this scene is necessary reading material, it does shed some light on what to expect for the Holiday Special and the boys' place within the Central Park Colony. I have way too much stuff in my head that will never see the light of day, so here, have a snippet.
NOTE: also... I may have realized that I accidentally put the wrong colony name in the interview comic >_< It should be the CENTRAL PARK COLONY that's interviewing them, NOT the LIBERTY COLONY (which is the better, less racist one that they create years later). 5,000 likes and reblogs later and it has now been corrected, oops. Ehehe I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

You guys gotta accept that your favorite character doesn’t always share your politics ok sometimes your favorite guy is a weird libertarian. Jason Todd is pro murder but he’s not pro death penalty because he doesn’t trust institutions and he’s anti authoritarian. He doesn’t vote but he will threaten a local corrupt politician with a car bomb. He thinks you should probably buy a gun. His politics are somewhat incoherent which makes him an average American man

[a candle]
when a candle flares up, does she know what awaits her? when wax is poured into a candle, is it afraid of disappearing? when bees bring wax to their hives - do they know what awaits it? do they weep, mourning in advance for their creation?
Is the smoke afraid before flying through the air and disappearing forever?

AU where Marinette came from China (like in the old movie storyboards) except she doesn't know a word of french, so the principal pairs her with Adrien because he knows Mandarin Chinese

Jason: ok Tim, any more crazy shit you’ve neglected to mention doing?
Tim: I already told you no
Jason: yeah and then you told me the biggest 3 what the fucks yet. So, got anything to top invading a country?
Tim: There was the time my friends and I tried to topple an entire planetary government and reinstate the old monarch? But we didn’t get very far before someone else came to conquer the planet and we had to play baseball for the sake of 2 planets.
Jason: …Tim how was that less illegal than the invasion
