    That's another story, I want to make a dropdown, but that's not the problem, my problem is that this isn't selecting the thing that I want it to select.

      There's a markdown list in the sidebar in a blockquote to be exact, I want to select all the list items other than the first when I hover on the first item

        That's not what I want though. I want to select all the list items in a particular blockquote other than the first item when I hover over the first item. My question is about why the selector I made up is not working.

          I do want to select the first child to detect if its hovered over or not.
          In theory, it should work like this

          .titlebox blockquote:first-child
          

          Selects the first blockquote in titlebox class

          ul li:first-child:hover
          

          Selects the first li in ul in the first blockquote and detects when it enters a hover state,

          .titlebox blockquote:first-child ul li:not(first-child)
          

          Selects everything in the ul in the first blockquote that is not the first child
