2/22 is cat day! Do you have any kitty Omi headcanons?

Apologies for the late reply! I have 3, actually. 😀

1. I think 😺 Omi enjoyed being groomed by the warriors, though to save his pride he pretended to be affronted by it. Because it's freely given care and affection. Something he doesn't get a lot of in the temple.

2. I think 😺 Omi probably went to sleep better alone, but whenever he woke up, he'd either have some of the warriors surrounding him while being asleep, or he'd be with Chase. I think waking up with comrades around him was probably something he missed upon going back to the xiaolin temple.

3. I think 😺 Omi almost certainly ended up eating meat at least once as a cat. I base this on the fact that cats are obligate carnivores, and while he wasn't with Chase for very long, he was young enough I think he would have given in to his new form's needs.

Happy New Years! 🎉

Whether it's your analysis posts on tumblr or your fics on AO3, I hope I get to enjoy your writings this year as well!

I apologize for taking so long to answer this. Thank you so much! This comment hit me in the brain just right apparently, because I now have 30 chapters to upload very soon. Have a marvelous day!

So, this double question is very adult, therefore I am not gonna post it, just paraphrase it.

What are your views on Omi and Chase being a romantic couple? What do you think about people saying Omi is an adult in the show?

I personally don't see it, I have come across a few stories that were very well written. I have a friend who likes it.

It's not my cup of tea. Just like Chack isn't. This show doesn't inspire me to think up romantic ships.* If you want to talk to me about your romantic ships I'm happy to listen. I adore hearing other people's ideas.

*Wuya and Dashi is a rare exception and I blame the exceptionally talented writers in this fandom.

Yes. Omi was alive for 110 years as I recall. He did not physically age, nor did he mentally age. He was, quite literally, frozen in time.

I don't understand the arguments against that, and I don't care to get into arguments about fictional characters unless it's all in good fun.

Look. This is fiction. People sex swap the characters, age up, age down, switch loyalties, put them in zombie apocalypses, turn them into animals, make them into baristas, basically if you can think of a 'what if', chances are it's been written, thought of or drawn already.

The characters are drawings with voices behind them. They're not real, they are fake. They’re certainly not worth trying to hurt actual people over.

And yeah. That's all that comes to mind for me on these subjects.

Do you think, Omi and Chase might be related? (I don’t consider Chronicles canon).

Sorry this took me so long, life called and life be the priority.

I don't consider Chronicles canon either.

Also, I think if they were related, Chase would know pretty quickly, and I think he'd tell Omi in a suitably dramatic fashion, one which also conveniently painted the monks as the real villains.

But outside of that scenario, I don't think they're related. Their bond is a choice. I do think they love each other and that they are family, just not biologically.

Do you think Omi and Chase would celebrate any holidays together?

Sorry this took me so long! Life called and well. Life takes priority over fun.

I could honestly see them celebrating any holiday Omi gets curious about together.

Would there be a tradition for celebrating certain holidays between them? I wouldn't be surprised if that was also the case, but I think that'd come later.

The holidays I think would eventually become a tradition are Chinese New Years, Christmas, and Halloween. I would not put Valentines Day out of the running either because they both like sweets and sweets given by someone who cares about you always taste better.

Hey there. Sorry for bringing up an old post of yours since I was scrolling through tumblr on Chase & Omi mentor/protege relationship stuff. I saw your ask replies on favorite scene of Chase and Omi way back, and I could think for me at least why Chase has something personal against Raimundo. During Saving Omi, Raimundo's breakdown in his fight with Heylin!Omi, crying in both desperation and plea for the other to snap out. This short moment was that pivotal moment in making Heylin!Omi hesitating in dealing the finishing blow to Raimundo. And also, Raimundo rashly yet boldly charged towards Chase when the latter insisted Omi would remain here with him, declaring Omi would come home with them... Somehow seems to angered Chase enough to go into his draconic form to bite him off in half. So, there's still a bit of strong animosity hatred between them for what I've seen.

Hey there! My sincere apologies for taking so long! Life called and life takes priority.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Chase had animosity for Raimundo in particular.

In my own opinion, Raimundo isn't a particularly honorable person. That's not to say he has no honor, of course. I have no doubt he'd die to save his loved ones, and he'd die for what's right if that was the only option left.

But beyond that? I think Rai is a deeply flawed young man, just as all the other Xioalin Dragons are, it's part of what makes them interesting. But his flaws lean him more towards morally grey areas. I think it comes naturally for him to put his own interests first, then his loved ones and then what's right.

Him fighting against those instincts is an interesting character plot.

But I think his flaws are what make him both uninteresting and infuriating to Chase.

Raimundo has talent, he's willing to put in the work, he's underhanded and sneaky and a liar and a hypocrite. And he is consistently favored over Omi.

Omi has his own flaws which I won't get into for this post, but he's also a genuinely honorable person. He has a strong work ethic, he is talented and works hard to level his raw talent into unparalleled skill. His loyalty is unquestionable, unlike Raimundo.

And it extends to Raimundo. Even as Raimundo is favored over Omi, unfairly so. (I include the other monks in this as well, because they're all given more priority by Fung than Omi is.)

Omi is neglected and overlooked and passed over by the very people who raised him. Who should care for him more than anything. They put Rai in the spotlight, consistently downplaying Omi and lifting up Rai.

And yet, it's Rai who makes Omi hesitate. It's Rai Omi looks up to the most even as they're rivals. It's Rai that Omi gives his loyalty to, even when not following Rai might actually be better for Omi.

I think that there is a dynamic between Rai and Omi that Chase probably finds very bitter to witness.

So yeah no, I would agree. I think Chase would blatantly be pleased with Raimundo's death, and maybe he even hates Rai as well.

If you give them a tragic backstory, give them a reason to move on.

Focus on the characters, yes a good plot is important but without well written characters it's liable to fall flat.

Write what you want to read.

Experiment. Have fun. Draw goofy things and picture which one of your characters would have drawn that.

Write with a partner. While it has its downsides, when you find a good writing partner it can really add a whole new dimension to your writing and be really fun as well.

When writer's block hits, focus on other things rather than getting frustrated with yourself or the story.

Exercise. It's one of the best times to come up with stuff for your story. And the ideas usually flow.

I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.

One of my favorite things is how gentle Chase's smile look when he's smiling at Omi sometimes. It's so rare and such a contrast. Sometimes he even has that soft smile at Omi while he's plotting something evil, like during Judging Omi.

I just wanted to say that you write that aspect of Chase really, really well in your fanfics!

The fact that they genuinely care about each other is such a good part of their relationship, and I'm so glad that it comes through in my writing!

😊 Thank you!

I liked the contrast of Chase knocking Omi out but making sure to catch and hold him gently in your fic! Reminds me of how Chase reached out to take Omi's hand and pull him back to his feet after their spar in The Evil Within.

Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, that was a good scene in XS. 😆

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded,

And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,

Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.

If you like mashed potatoes, put in the tags 1.) whether you prefer it mashed with the skin and 2.) what brand/restaurant/person makes the best.

If you have small holes in your clothing, those bits of thread can be used to close them. You might need to use more than one bit of thread, of course. But that way there's no waste.

does anyone have any ideas on what to do with the little shreds of embroidery thread snips you have left over from a project when you need to rethread your needle? Like the 3-4 inch bits that are too long to justify throwing away but too short to be usable. I would love a project I can use for these because if feels wrong to throw them away.

maybe this is "grandchild of people who were raised poor during the depression and now hoard everything they receive" behavior but I refuse to apologize for what I"m going to brand as sUsTaInAbIlItY
