#Like teehee that would be so cool

[imminent-danger-came]

So, this parallel, right.

That parallel and the 4x11 shadowpeach fight as a whole:

Macaque: "No that's YOU! You're the one always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortality—you're the one who wouldn't quit while were were ahead! Not the great sage, he's got to drag EVERYONE else into his mess!" Sun Wukong: "You're not in this mess, you're still free! Everything I did was for us!" Macaque: "You did it for yourself! You've become like this, 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! You put yourself here, not me."

(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)

-

A large part of Wukong's motivation to keep getting more power was the freedom of it—the more power you have the easier it is to do whatever you want. It's easier to ignore everyone else and focus solely on yourself. It's also easier to ensure yourself and your loved one's are protected and have the ability to do what they want.

So, a punishment where the great Monkey King is imprisoned and trapped for hundreds of years? It's effective and tragic and fitting. Wukong wanted to have the freedom to protect the people he cared about, and in trying to reach for the power to do that, he completely had his freedom removed. He went from the mountain, to then the circlet, and then all of a sudden he had morals and was bound to those.

And then I think about his end of s3 choice to go face the Lady Bone Demon alone. Once again Wukong was trying to protect his loved ones (not to mention the whole reason he went after the Samadhi fire to begin with was to have the power, the freedom to stop LBD (which in itself is another case of SWK believing he needed to be stronger for such freedom)), but he also wanted to make sure MK and himself both had agency. He didn't want MK to have to fight LBD, and he didn't want LBD to end the world.

This is exactly the sentiment he tells Macaque in the 4x11 flashback:

Sun Wukong: "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!"

But where does it all lead him?

To possession, imprisonment. Once again Wukong no longer had the freedom to do what he wanted (which is to protect the people he cares about). Once again in his attempts to help his loved one's, he only hurt them.

This can be applied to his relationship with Macaque, to MK in s2, hell, even Wukong trying to get the map in the first place left him powerless, which then led to him and the gang being imprisoned in 3x02. It's a familiar pattern, one we see with antagonist and protagonist alike.

MK in s2 trained to become more powerful, which in the end only strengthened LBD and forced him and his friends on the run. Mei in 3x12 protects MK by letting herself get captured and placed into LBD's crystal. Mei in 4x05 goes to protect MK, breaking her sword and leaving her vulnerable to being captured by Kui Mulang ("How am I supposed to protect everyone without my sword?"). DBK reached for more power and then became possessed by LBD, hurting his wife and son. Azure reached for the Jade Emperor's power and bound himself to that role, jeopardizing Peng and Yellowtusk in the process.

It's a cycle of reaching for power, endangering others, and then being imprisoned.

So anyways, here's why MK is going to lose control (his agency) next season and hurt his friends with his own- *get's shot*

#*cough cough* shut up this isn't similar to Callum and Viren from tdp at all. #Ignore everything I said about the reach for power to have freedom and that leading to consequences. Shhhhhhh #anyways GOSH HMMM THE CHARACTER ARCS YAY #I LOVE WHEN THEMATICALLY RELEVANT THINGS HAPPEN TO CHARACTERS #Like. It's not just ''Wukong got possessed'' it's how Wukong getting possessed plays into his character and the show as a whole #Which is why lmk is so good #A league above the rest #Ignore that this is also the exact same thing that happens to Callum with possession. Shhhhh. #But y'all get my point #So anyways in reaching for power and having the agency to protect those you care about #And continuing Mei and SWK parallels #I think it would be neat if Mei accepted the Samadhi fire again to protect her friends for whatever reason #It'd also be neat if she did it specifically to fight MK/get him back #Like teehee that would be so cool #Am I saying MK next season might very well parallel possessed Wukong? yes that's exactly what I'm saying. #lmk SWK #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk analysis #you know what executive decision tag #hero mei warrior mk

puppy you are insane for wanting to put ice cubes in your milk!!!!! unacceptable!!!!! it melts and then thins the milk and then it mels some more and then you;re not longer drinking milk it;s just milk flavoured water!!!!!! /lh

i bet you use water to make your hot chocolate (also highly unacceptable) (booooo)

-brainrotbot

i was witness to @crow-cap slapping hot sauce on an orange for "character immersion" purposes so i think i have reason to believe putting ice in milk wouldnt be out of the question /j

#but youre right i do use water to make hot chocolate sometimes. like boiling water and then the packet :teehee: #ice cubes in a dairy drink is a strange experience because ive had iced coffee and i could never get myself to like it. so i think #iced milk would make me explode LOL #yet i have no problem drinking coffee frappes and milkshakes. just milk and crushed ice and nothing else would be very strange #but if you try it i dont think ill really stop you. ill just be like cool!!! why though!!! #ive always had this peeve about letting a drink sit for so long that the water separates from it? it bothers me but idk why #like if i mix juice and water together but i let it sit for so long you can see a thin layer of water at the top. it bothers meee!!!!! #its like that science experiment with the different liquid densities. dish soap water and oil stacked on a glass #its pretty cool but i have like this urge to nab a spoon and mix it vigorously #ask #answered #yapping #guest #crow-cap #puppysona

Kaiba with his big fat Possum named Princess

#listen #something is funny about everybody assuming his pet named Princess is just a cat #makes sense #but they’re a billion dollar family from Japan so a ‘cool’ and ‘unique’ pet would be something like a possum #Joey is like “’Kaiba ur insane why is there a big fat rat runnin around ur house’ #anyways we love Princess #YuGiOh #ygo #Seto kaiba #Kaiba seto #Yugi mutou #Rivalshipping #teehee #the Kaiba family also has a family pet peacock #but mokuba likes Henry more than Kaiba so the peacock is mostly his #personal #drawing #doodle #sketch #art

once read a thing where a character referred to pyro as firebug and after a moment or two trying to figure out how to draw the guys head i just figured. try to make the guy at least Vaguely bug-like if i can.

#pyro tf2 #team fortress 2 pyro #tf2 fanart #tf2 fan art #pyro my guy #theyve been my fave since i was a kid #the others are All so cool too though smh #pyro changes pronouns every time they respawn trust me #maybe their gender too idk #/hj #im like ohhhgh ohhhhgh what pronouns. what gender should i give them. who knows #maybe i'll never decide #who knows #lets just have fun though teehee #i think pyro would lean against teammates a lot. for the sake of it #the flamethrower is a bit of a comfort item too. even when not being used. they feel nice just holding it.

Ok I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this before but I saw some of your older posts talking about your headcanons regarding Helia’s Dynamic with Miele as well as Flora’s dynamic with Saladin and they were just so wholesome! I’m just a sucker for wholesome (future) in-law dynamics. So anyway, it made me wonder if you had any thoughts or headcanons on Helia’s dynamic/relationship with Flora’s parents, Rhodos and Alyssa. Its already a crime that we don’t get to see Flora’s family that much in canon (not to mention her parents don’t get introduced until season 6/7 of all things). Its an even bigger crime that we get practically zero interactions between Helia and Flora’s parents in canon (from what I remember). Like at least between him and Miele, we get a little something in the comics, but NOTHING with Rhodos and Alyssa! So yeah, I’d like to hear your thoughts

AHHHHHHHHHH OBSESSED

i have mentioned this before (teehee)! but it's not suuuper fleshed out so i'm taking advantage of your ask to talk about helia more ajdgkdag

you're so right it's an Absolute Crime that we didn't get to see her parents till the later seasons (and we don't even know if they're what rainbow/iginio originally intended her parents to be like either), but i actually really like her parents! rhodos being So Goofy and making a bunch of puns?? AMAZING also fully obsessed with both flora and her mother having strangling vines that grab everyone like we really see where flora gets it from aldhgjlg

anyway, with how friendly they both are, i think they would fully adore helia! especially since flora probably talks about him a lot or at the very least doesn't hide that she's in a relationship, i think they would end up knowing a lot more about him than he realizes ajhdgl i definitely don't think it would take till s7 for them to properly meet though! i can see flora officially introducing him near the end of s3 or sometime in s5 (considering the earth gap year)!

but Anyway, headcanons!!

rhodos and alyssa are absolutely devasted that helia has next to zero knowledge about plants and plant care, so rhodos takes it upon himself to teach helia every single time he visits

rhodos is also very excited to say every single pun/joke about plants he knows since he figures helia hasn't heard them yet (helia: takes one step outside - rhodos: well, I can't WHEAT to see you again ;;;;))

in ep6 it shows them taking care of the magiwolves and since i also hc that helia has some good medical knowledge, i like to think that he'd be able to impress them with that! i can see them comparing notes and maybe even asking for help with other animals!

in the comics, they mention that flora and helia played together when they were kids and i hc that it was actually alyssa who remembered him and told them!

rhodos is way too friendly and cheerfully tells helia that he can call him dad if he wants to. helia's too nervous to tell him he thinks that's weird as hell ajdgl

helia still calls them mr. rhodos and mrs. alyssa decades after meeting them aladhg

i mentioned in the miele post that she would eventually ask to know when he's going on missions, and i think after a couple years (probably around s7 time), rhodos and alyssa would also ask for that information. timmy helps him make a little timetable that he can just fill out and they can access whenever

i think i mentioned it in the first post but they absolutely try to subtly drop hints that they're okay with florelia getting married aldghl (they're not subtle At All but they're trying okay alhdgl)

helia would definitely be a little awkward and nervous around them at first, even more so after experiencing how nice they are to him. i can see him feeling like he doesn't deserve it or like he needs to earn their respect. that would last for a couple of years but eventually he would have a moment where it just kind of clicks that they literally don't care what he does as long as he treats flora with respect and love.

after that, he would randomly get a lot more comfortable with them and they get excited because they think it means florelia are getting married or something ajdhgl

#rhodos says what in carnation unironically actually #its literally canon flora told me #ajhdglhdag #but yeah overall they would love him #especially after seeing how happy he makes flora and how much miele likes him too #its a SHAME we dont have canon information on his immediate family #like saladin is cool and all but please where are his parents i need to know #unfort in true helia brain fashion i think his parents suck ass #and flora and her famil would hate them #(still be cordial but definitely hate them) #teehee #ajdhgladgh #i mean tbf i Can see him with a good family too but childhood trauma is just so much juicier ajhdgl #answered #mine.headcanons #THANK YOU for sending this!! do you have any thoughts about his relationship with them!! #or with miele! i love the big brother vibes he has with her :') its so sweet :') #im so glad that he has a good relationship with miele at least #considering so many wi.nx couples have bad or really awkward relationships with their in laws #its nice to see florelia being happy in florelia land at least ajkdhg

the doom posting that comes around whenever a cash shop outfit comes out is deeply obnoxious at this point ngl

#yes there is something to be said about the cash shop model and how a lot of cool outfits are there #and the lack of more fantasy inspired outfits when there has been so much more modern outfits in game lately #and I have been guilty of being upset about this #but man. man people screaming and yelling about how 14 is going down the toilet because of this I’m just like. shut up #go look at the WoW cash shop and tell me how 14 is going into the same trap #you know the special mounts for doing all the EXs in an expansion? #yeah wow would put that in cash shop and be like teehee to have the full set give us 18 dollars #there are much worse and far grubbier systems out there to get your money from you #I dunno man the way people spit vitriol about thjs is like did SE like. kill your mother or something #Owen talks #edit: at the end of the day SE is a company and they are going to try and make more money off of you than just you sub #choosing to engage in that or not is your choice #idk maybe I just have a very short patience with people like this #I just come here whine for two seconds block the people screaming and be on my way

It's such a missed opportunity that the set design for great comet didn't include a massive fuckoff portrait of Andrey looming over every scene

#s #natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812 #he's already such a constant presence in the show with characters thinking about him and worrying and guessing his reactions to things #not to mention the opera scene with him #adding to that visually by having his judgemental stare always visible would be so cool... #and they could dim the lights on him or otherwise cover him up in scenes like the ball or charming where natasha gets carried away #or maybe keep him as visible as ever to ubderline the tension there #and besides it'd be a cool nod to petrushka teehee <- my nijinsky bias showing

i think if the real world a la weed city aang would tell all his friends that the airbenders embraced letting go of all earthly virtues and valued free-spiritedness and being able to express your emotions honestly by swearing in such precise and creative ways that it would stop everyone for a second or two the first time it happens. like he could silence a room. like i know people have discussed who deserves to be able to say fuck and toph and zuko are definitely contenders but imagine meeting not only a monk but a 12 year old boy and him blowing the kid who spent 3 years on a navy vessel + a rebellious tween who competed against in underground mma rings + a 15 year old boy who acts exactly like a 15 year old boy acts COMPLETELY out of the water it would be so fucking funny. i also think katara would be a runner up for both least shellshocked by it and most likely to call zuko a cunt at the drop of a hat. and anyone who disagrees has never been or known a 14 year old weird little girl who has to grow up too fast and be "mature" before...

#🐾 #i also do truly believe the airbenders would swear anyway #i also think toph would swear in the way someone who grew up the way she did in such a constricted and Proper environment #in that she would just do it all the time bc she thinks it's cool but also in ways that don't make sense bc she has no idea how to actually #do it. and i also think she'd feel self conscious about BEING self conscious about swearing and overcompensate esp bc it's something from #her upbringing that she wants to reject. like she isn't a Fancy Noble Lady #TEEHEE. zuko would be the same way but i don't think he's ever actually thought of himself as noble or knew how to Fit or respected their #values or whatever. propriety. how a Prince Should Act. bc he never was afforded the chance to actually act like one #so there's nothing to really reject in a way. plus he's always been like. openly brash and loud and again. navy ship

did say to my coworker at work something about how if i got injured at work in a way that left a gnarly and epic scar it would look so cool and she said in a very "well duh" kind of way "oh you WOULD say it would be cool" which is the funniest thing anyone's ever said about me

#its true. i would think getting injured with a boxcutter would be cool and a little badass. she got me #she also once said i give off vegan energy and when i asked what the fuck she meant by that #she said 'caring people just--its just giving vegan you know' which made me laugh so hard i started wheezing #i do like the other people in my department a lot. i dont get to see them or talk to them that often these days #but theyre all cool women and i really enjoy their company #and. you know. not running a solo department all the time teehee i hate running a solo department oh so very much <///////3
