What the Legos Want
MK: "I just- I don't want to let my friends down, you know? It's like, I want to help out in the store, do arts and crafts with Sandy, and party with M-m-m-Mei! Mei! But it's to hard, I'm just one guy!"
(1x02 Duplicatnation)
-
MK: "Okay! I did bad, I just- I really wanted that peach, and I guess I got carried away."
(1x06 The Great Wall Race)
-
Sun Wukong: "Take in everything! Choose what you want to do, and then do it! That is focus."

(1x09 Macaque)
-
MK: "It's like- I want to be strong, and I'm trying to be! But it- it's like Monkey King isn't giving me a chance! *sigh* What if- what if he knows he made a mistake—chose wrong, chose the wrong successor?"
(2x07 Shadow Play)
-
Sandy: "Hurting others isn't a measure of one's strength—took me a really long time to realize that. As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me."
(2x08 To Catch a Leaf)
-
Sun Wukong: "You want me to leave it, and I want me to take it! Eh, it's toughy."
Ne Zha: "What!? Don't do this!
Sun Wukong: "I'm sorry—it's the only way!"
(3x01 On The Run)
-
MK: “Why are you helping her—Lady Bone Demon—like, look, I get that you’re a bad guy, but you know that she wants to destroy everything, right?”
-
Sandy: "I don't want to fight, but I can't let you hurt my friends!"
(3x04 The Winning Side)
-
Sun Wukong: "What? You got what you wanted didn't you? Not gonna gloat? Monologue a little before scurrying off to your master? Go on! The Lady Bone Demon is waiting."
Macaque: "I couldn't care less about what the Lady Bone Demon wants!"
(3x09 The King, the Prince, and the Shadow)
-
Mei: "I can't! I don't want to hurt you—any of you! I'm sorry."
-
Mei: "No! Stay back! I- I don't want to hurt you!"
(3x10 The Samadhi Fire)
-
The Mayor: "All my lady ever desired was a world no longer plagued by pain—until the Monkey King and his companions got in the way. Fate however has gifted her a second chance!"
(3x13 Time to be Warriors) (Desired, wanted, same thing.)
-
Lady Bone Demon: "Save your hero speech child—I've existed long enough to know when it's over.
MK: "You still think that the universe really wants anything, from any of us?"
Lady Bone Demon: "Don't you?"
(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)
-
Macaque: "Still the same Wukong, doing whatever he wants with no regard for others!"
(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)
-
Sun Wukong: "It's actually amazing how quickly you're mastering your powers—when I was your age-"
MK: "-You were fighting the celestial armies and generally swinging your big ol' tail around to get what you wanted?"
Sun Wukong: "Well I was going to say making regrettable life choices but yeah, thanks for laying out. I'm embarrassed to admit it but—you might have actually already done more for this world that I ever have!"
(4x01 Familiar Tales)
-
Mei: “What’s the point of having power if you won’t use it? Don’t you have people you want to protect?”
(4x05 Court of the Yellow Robed Demon)

Sandy: “But you were too WEAK to be who you truly are! I am a monster! That’s what the world wants me to be, so that’s what I’m gonna give ‘em!”
(4x06 Show Me the Monster)
-
Curse MK: "Hey no no no- I get it man. You want to get back to our monster of the week adventures, get back to our simple missions with Mei, mastering all of Monkey King's powers and delivering noodles for pigsy. Right?"
MK: "Yeah...yeah actually that's exactly what I wanna-"
Curse MK: "But we can't! Not after all we've seen! All we know and all we don't? *sigh* Right friend?"
(4x07 Pitiful Creatures)
-
Azure Lion: "No no—this isn't what I wanted! All you had to do was wait, after this was all over I was going to release Sun Wukong, help him see reason! That is now impossible—not after what you've done!"
-
MK: “No matter what I do, it’s going to lead to pain. It’s like the Lady Bone Demon said—it doesn’t matter if I want to help people or not! Everything I do just- it just makes things worse!”
(4x08 The Brotherhood)
-
Macaque: "Point is, it’s time to start making your own choices—something I wish I would have learned a lot sooner than I did. You don’t want to fight Azure because people might get hurt, you don’t want to not fight him because people might get hurt–so do something else! Only you get to decide who you are kiddo.”
(4x10 The Jade Emperor)
-
Sun Wukong: "Ah, don't be like that! Eat some fruit, soak up the sun—that's why I've been training so hard!"
Macaque: "What, so you can be the strongest?"
Sun Wukong: "Nooo! Well, maybe a little bit—but that's not the point! It's so we don't have to worry about anything or anyone ever again! Just living a lazy life, sitting in the sun, eatin' fruit, and doing whatever we want!"
-
Sun Wukong: "I just wanted to protect the people I cared about—to be strong enough. I lost sight of why I was doing any of it."
-
Macaque: "You did it for yourself! You've become this like, obsessive demon! I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea, but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone, he just does whatever he wants!"
(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)
-
MK: "That's what you were pretending to be right? To be my friend? To care about me? When really you were just using me to get what you wanted! To turn me against my own mentor! Put your hand in the monkey cage, and expect to get bit son!"
(4x13 Rip and Tear)
-
Sun Wukong: "Azure just stop, okay? You've won—you're going to destroy us just like you wanted! Us an the entire universe."
Azure Lion: "Huh? No. This is not what I wanted! I can still fix this, it's- it's the whole reason I'm here at all!"
Sun Wukong: "Wait, how are you here!?"
Azure Lion: "What? What kind of a question is that you know exactly how I'm-"
Sun Wukong: "-No! Here and now! I put you in the underworld myself. How'd you get out, how'd you get the scroll? I know for sure you didn't steal it—you couldn't have! Azure, who gave you that scroll? Because whoever it was they must have known this would happen, wanted this to happen! And they used you to do it."
Azure Lion: "I just wanted to make the world a better place!"
MK: "You still can—you're the only one who can."

Everyone’s talking about “Meant to Be Yours” (Angel & Valentino) or a version of “Friends On The Other Side” (Overlord Husk & Alastor) etc
But is no one really talking about this song when Angel starts to fall heavily for Husk and wants to “come out” as Anthony but his insecurities get the better of him
Lyrics:
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when he sees me
Wants to again

lies of attrition update
summary
The trust between Ladybug and Chat Noir is stretched to breaking point when a new butterfly holder emerges in the wake of Monarque's defeat. Chat Noir doesn't know who to trust until Chrysalis confronts him with a truth Ladybug had tried to bury: Monarque made the Wish—and she wants Chat Noir’s help to undo it.
excerpt
When she landed on the rooftop, she found herself alone.
The sun hadn’t fully set, but it was far below her now. The sky was cast in the somber blue haze of dwindling daylight; light as quiet as the lonely roof and just as unsettling.
The moon was faint and not yet full, but looking up, she could see it was intact, and took comfort in its polished edges.
She let her gaze fall from the sky down into her palm, where her yo-yo still glowed with Chat Noir’s coordinates. He was there, somewhere in Montparnasse, but the echo of her footsteps on the rooftop remained unanswered. Something almost forgotten stirred in the depths of her stomach, and the taste of ash filled her mouth.
Something’s wrong.
She stood silent in the twilight fog, listening for danger and praying for a glimpse of her partner.
When she finally spotted him, though, a shadow at the edge of the world with his back facing her, she only prayed harder.
“Chat Noir?” she called out like an invocation.
He turned, but the evening was already too dim to make out his features. “Hello, Ladybug.”
She couldn’t read his expression, but his voice was flat in a way it had never been, and it should never be.
Something was wrong. She was sure of it now, but the moon was still whole and hearts were still unbroken.
chapter 9 of my and @ladyofthenoodle's collab is up!
