Here's some little christmas gifts for some amazing mutuals that have made this year a whole lot more bearable with their amazing content and their amazing interactions and just being amazing in general :']

Long post ahead so divider here to spare your scrolling. (I am also probably gonna get a bit sappy so if that makes you cringe: you've been warned lol)

@lilbitofmac Thank you for being my introduction to the fandom here on tumblr :'''D I really think I wouldn't have stuck around if it weren't for your initial warmth and encouragement. Your Tony remains my fave Tony I go feral over your art orz I may or may not have the clingy ironstrange drawing as a phone wallpaper-

Hope next year is kinder on you man! I know we don't really talk outside of tags/replies, but if you ever need smthn I can help with my inbox is always there.

@strxngetimes I'm just tagging this one blog because I don't want to spam all your other blogs lmao. Thank you for sharing your interpretations of the characters with us, not only the rps with other muses but also the headcanons and brainrot. It's always such a pleasure both to see you on the timeline writing with other muses and on the inbox with the disaster man.

I specially like how you include his Cloak in the mix and give it a personality- I absolutely adore the Cloak :'') So here's it being all clingy to the disaster man. Hope to see more of you having fun with all ur muses in the coming year :D

@starkkawajiri Pretty art!! Hilarious and heart wrenching character interactions!!! I love your designs and lore building so much. Fanboying over the same disaster man and making him suffer always brings a smile to my face. I've wanted to draw your Strange for a while now, so this was also the perfect excuse, I love him so much you have no idea-

Can't wait to see more of your amazing designs and lore stuff for this AU! (and anything else you create next year :])

@nekojetto I think your Strange is the purest Strange there is and the fact that it's based off Supreme makes that so much more impressive. Your animatics are simply breath taking, and whenever I go back to check your concepts and sketches for character interactions I always get a smile on my face :D

I'm sorry I haven't gotten to the collab just yet :'') Plz know I still have it in mind, haven't forgotten about it and am still just as excited to finally get to it as I was the first day!

@infiniteeight8 Your words make me cry and laugh so much all the time :'') You write the disaster men so beautifully both in serious, fluffy, angsty and funny situations. Reading ur stuff keeps the creative juices flowing!

I remember you liked the vampire Stephen prompt you were sent, so here's some of that, even if it's more halloween-y than christmas-y.

#mac I wasn't entirely sure on how to draw you but I saw u using Liam Hemsworth and Jensen Ackles so I went with them for refs #hope that's alright :'] #Archer I wanted to draw more of ur muses but time got the best of me :''') plz know I adore how you write all of them #you really make their characters justice hhhh

LMK S4 THEORIES

A/N: Okay, so below are my thoughts about Wukong’s past, his mountain imprisonment, how the Brotherhood was defeated, and how Macaque was “killed.” Just some headcanons, theories, and character introspection!

Initial theory in the first paragraph is credited to @/nixthefanartist!

When the Brotherhood had originally gone to fight the Jade Emperor, they had lost and Wukong surrendered along with Azure Lion, Yellow Tusk, Peng, and Macaque. However, Sun Wukong was given an ultimatum, and that was to surrender, or have his friends die. He actually might have won against the Jade Emperor but that would’ve been at the cost of the other four’s lives. So, he surrendered in the end. The Brotherhood goes back to Flower Fruit Mountain (FFM) where Macaque and Wukong have a talk that escalates into a big argument, fueled by their loss against the celestials. (Or maybe, their friendship becomes strained over a longer period of time, which eventually accumulates into a huge fight/argument).

In a fit of frustration, Wukong leaves, traveling back to the celestial realm where he has the bet with Buddha over his claim of wanting to replace the Jade Emperor (“If you can jump from my palm, you, or whoever you want, can become the Jade Emperor in his stead” - Buddha). However, Wukong loses again because Buddha is able to hold the universe in the palm of his hand, and as punishment, he is not let off so easily, spending 500 years of imprisonment under the mountain.

During this long period of time, Azure, Peng, and Yellow Tusk built that mountain ridge city, deciding that they didn’t need Wukong’s help, seeing that he had seemingly abandoned ship. DBK had left to try and conquer some smaller lands in the meantime, desiring more power (this was the reason why he wasn’t at the city, the reason why he wasn’t sealed within the scroll). On and off during these centuries, Macaque also tried to take care of Flower Fruit Mountain in the King’s absence, looking after the various monkeys.

Macaque thinks Wukong abandoned him and the sworn brothers but really, Wukong was trapped under that mountain for 500 years after losing the bet to Buddha. And after that time period was up, he was freed by Guanyin and Tang Sanzang, going on the JTTW to make up for his crimes against heaven. This was basically his only choice in the matter, plus the fillet practically forced Wukong to follow the orders of Tripitaka, like a dog on a leash. But over time, Wukong became fond of the pilgrims despite it all during the 14 years of the JTTW.

All the same, Wukong had thought Macaque and his sworn brothers had abandoned him because the Great Sage had tried calling out for help, thinking that at least Macaque would be able to hear him with his six ears. But no help came and he eventually gave up as decades turned into centuries. Though, he didn’t know that the reason Macaque couldn’t hear him was because of a magical spell surrounding the mountain, blocking out his calls from underneath. It was only when Guanyin and Tang crossed the threshold upon the mountain, that his calls were finally heard.

All in all, they both thought the other abandoned them but really, it was miscommunication and tragic events being orchestrated in the background.

The Brotherhood eventually learns that Wukong had sided with the heavenly realm, for reasons unknown to them. So, all they had known at the moment was that the Great Sage had abandoned them for centuries only to appear one day as heaven’s lapdog basically. Not sure on what to think about this, Macaque leaves to FFM to clear his head and to sort out his feelings. However, in his absence, the mountain ridge city is destroyed by the JTTW group. And as punishment ordered by the Heavenly Court, the celestial officials had originally wanted the three demons dead but Wukong instead gave the idea of sealing them inside the scroll as an act of mercy.

Before Azure Lion was taken away, he shared some final words with Wukong, words that the monkey did not like the sound of, knowing that Azure would not give up so easily on his quest to dethrone the Jade Emperor, even if it meant showing no mercy to his old friend. Azure Lion believes that defeating the Jade Emperor would be best for everyone, and he wouldn’t let anyone get in his way for “justice” by the time he’s free from the scroll. This is the reason Wukong is wary of Azure during S4. Plus, the hurt of Wukong’s betrayal probably fueled Azure’s last words to him as well.

To be noted, Macaque wasn’t with the three other demons when the JTTW group destroyed the city; he was at Flower Fruit Mountain but even from there, his six ears caught wind of the encounter so he rushed over there only to see the celestial guards holding the three demons in magical restraints. And then he finally saw Wukong and he was about to go over there and demand to know where he’s been until he’s stopped in his tracks upon seeing the golden fillet around the simian’s forehead. At that sight, the darker monkey manages to slip away in the shadows. The three other demons are transported to the underworld, sealed within the scrolls of memories.

And from there, Macaque eventually tracked down the pilgrim group, attacking Tripitaka and the others, believing that they were forcing Wukong to do their work for them, believing that they were the reason why Wukong had abandoned and betrayed the Brotherhood. However, by this time, Sun Wukong had already grown fond of his allies, and he was still wearing the golden fillet, so the Great Sage protected Tang Sanzang from Macaque, giving the dark haired monkey that scar on his eye. Having to continue on with the journey, Wukong left him with a heavy heart, his emotions in disarray upon seeing his old friend after centuries of no contact. Plus, the last time they had talked involved an argument, which didn’t help either.

From this battle, Macaque was simply knocked out. However, by the time he came to, the Lady Bone Demon had found him, having witnessed his defeat. She thought she could use the darker monkey in her plans, believing that she could utilize their broken friendship against them. So, in order to drive them further apart from each other, she had disguised herself as Wukong to make it seem like the simian was just finishing the job and killed Macaque, which he was tragically awake to experience. Then, she resurrected him later on and tried to make him work for her which he subsequently refused, escaping even though it had seemed like he owed her for “saving” his life and that “Wukong” had killed him. Because even Macaque could sense something was wrong with her, even if she had seemingly saved his life. Then, LBD was sealed away in the tomb by Tripitaka, having been caught by the pilgrims after she tried attacking them by disguising herself once more, which Wukong detected and called her out on.

Seeing that Macaque has abandoned her, even after she gives him new life, LBD forces him to help her later on during the events of S3. It’s the reason why she says that she’s capable of erasing the very memory of him because she basically already altered the very memories of his death.

After Wukong finished his 14 years during the JTTW, he finally encountered DBK later on, the bull demon rampaging on several villages. There were two reasons why he was attacking them: one to gain power and to cause destruction and two to expel his anger and frustration upon learning that his sworn brothers were sealed within the memory scroll when he was gone. This is that famous scene at the start of LMK S1 where Wukong defeats DBK, trapping him under a mountain for 500 years, leaving his staff on top of the mountain.

There were probably even more conflicting emotions stirring within Wukong upon seeing DBK again. It wasn’t such a heroic tale as described by Tang, but one of pain, and regret. Wukong was still angry at the Bull demon for not answering his pleas for help when he was trapped for 500 years, so he sealed DBK under a mountain, as a taste of his own medicine. This was, of course, also to prevent the demon bull from further laying siege to the villages. However, Wukong still felt regret for his actions, for sealing almost all of his old friends away, from driving away his closest companion (Macaque), so he left Ruyi Bang on the mountain, believing that he did not deserve such a powerful artifact anymore, not after all the mistakes he had made in the past. And he left, disappearing to Flower Fruit Mountain in isolation as his own form of self punishment.

Re: the beginning / prologue bit of Banishers, I was thinking about it this morning, but the Nightmare shapeshifting to impersonate Antea and singing "three blind mice" to taunt Charles, Antea, and especially Red-- the three Banishers who are trying (and failing) to figure out what her deal is-- is Very Good.

Also I've watched a few playthroughs now and I feel like so many people don't hesitate outside the meeting house like I did, so they miss the Nightmare outright singing "Run, Red, run... Run, Red, run..."

#red mac raith running headlong into the obvious trap. i love him. #but also i have QUESTIONS about his automatic assumption that antea has gone to the meeting house without him #the game never seems to acknowledge that antea maybe is arrogant enough to have done so. or at least done something similar enough #that red doesn't even second guess his assumption #pair that with antea's ghost later leaving him behind to go ahead of him to siridean's island #these two people are messy. i love them #i want to study them!!!!! #banishers ghosts of new eden #banishers ghosts of new eden spoilers #mostly for my tags #i feel like prologue stuff is fair game #red mac raith #boy do i wish you'd checked new eden town first before heading to the meeting house. but then we'd have a different game. #antea duarte #kate plays banishers ghosts of new eden #i can't remember my video games tag #mostly i'm just musing and talking aloud

Mac DeMarco - One More Love Song

Another turn, another shift One last kiss from her lips Another dream you're putting down After all this time, it turns out all you found Is one more love out to break your heart Set it up Just to watch it fall apart Another try, another go Never thought you'd feel this low Another dream put to bed After all this time, it turns out all you had Is one more love out to break your heart Set it up Just to watch it fall apart Is one more love out to break your heart Set it up Just to watch it fall apart

Ramblings...

I stayed home sick because, as far as I can tell, I got so stressed and fatigued that last night I couldn't keep any food or drink down and my body was so tensed that I was in pain (the worst headache included).

Anyway, I was supposed to work today, but I didn't, and to sort of try to make me feel better once my body was no longer feeling awful.... I went out shopping (mostly to get gifts for friends who are hosting me in a month).

And while shopping, I went to a vintage/consignment shop and found the cutest lighthouse!

Then, when I got home, the streamer I was watching on Twitch raided a streamer who was promoting a project related to Brighid. And it felt a strong reminder that She exists, She is doing Work, and I can always pray to Her for assistance too.

Also worth mentioning is that, before the stress destroyed my body, there was an omen I saw that, on reflection, feels like a warning. Essentially, a statue my husband made (because the body shape reminded him of me) exploded... and I thought it was an omen, but I didn't know what. Didn't realize it would signify my body would probably also fall apart.

I don't have much reason for pointing all this out necessarily. I guess it's just-- I have been sorta swirling lost and aimless and dealing with a lot of anxiety/depression ... but things like this remind me that the world is magical, spiritual, and sacred even if I am unable to notice.

Yeah. Just rambling. I have a lot of thoughts recently and one of them is on my own spirituality and religious practices.
