MONKIE KID SEASON 4 TRAILER SPOILERS BUT
OOOOOOO IS QI XIAOTIAN GETTING AN EVIL CLONE?! IS HE FIGHTING AN EVIL SUN WUKONG (AGAIN?!) I GUESS WE’LL SEE!:
Tumblr media
Kinda wondering if this means we’ll FINALLY get some answers to why lego show Sun Wukong is in all honestly a massive mess & failure compared to his og classic counterpart. Like this giant blob of tar (memories that have been tainted by trauma maybe?) kind of seems to be composed of the og pilgrims (at least you can see the shapes of Ao Lie & Tang Sanzang & probably Sun Wukong:
Tumblr media
Also haha nice reference to pre-journey Sun Wukong having tons of friends & loving his booze:
Tumblr media
Most intriguing is these shots of what I’m guessing is the former besties of the Monkey King’s sworn brotherhood (EDIT THANKS TO @ar-blackshaw​  pointing out that these are actually the Three Demon Kings of Lion Camel Ridge (the Azure Lion King appeared earlier) b/c I’m guessing they didn’t have the budget for all six of the og classic sworn brothers) going against heaven & who I can only assume to be the Jade Emperor:
Tumblr media
So yeah! Multiple points where it could be really cool, but could also be really disappointing depending on what they do with it! For god’s sake lego show don’t mess this up.

rambling bout the mandarin dub of s3 special (part 2)
Tumblr media
before i do skedaddle onto more mandarin, i do actually wanna say- grollow has said a few times that they find Porty's sudden appearance very random which i do kinda agree with, but it also makes me think a tad. my three thoughts as to why He poked his head out are so far this: 1. shameless fanservice, as Porty is prolly the most liked Xiaotian clone 2. the crew needed a hype man more than anything to go thru their plan, so Xiaotian summoned Porty cuz das basically all that the clone does, did while he stayed and literally self-destructed the moment danger showed up instead of helpin 3. as per ar-blackshaw's and sketching-shark's theory convo, Porty has been alikened to Six Ear in the theory that Six is a clone of Sun Wukong's. Six is on the team now! Why not bring in the new generation of version of him in as well, yanno! sounds like a fun lore poke for the fandom ✨
Tumblr media
Him Mouth... BUT ALSO he doesn't say "C'MOOOON" in the mandarin one which means he just Makes Noises n those are always fuckin PEAK up in this bitch, shit's fuckin hilarious
Tumblr media
someone else pointed this out on twitter before i did a "try to understand now" rewatch actually, but SWK here calls Xiaotian "my little hero" which like fuck my heart, i guess
Tumblr media
there's this tiny little quick inhale n exhale from Six Ear here and it fuckin Kills me
Tumblr media
still not over Six Ear pullin THAT shit outta him chest n still not over Sun Wukong just BLASTIN that shit outta his hand like that, everytime i hear the fuckin sound effect of him shootin the energy i just go "Jaysus Fuck" like its so strong compared to Six Ear's wimpy ass weak sauce bullshit of a shadow emo energy stream it takes me out without fail, that thing could be aliken to a damb Spaceship Take Off
Tumblr media
two things: 1. instead of "monkey" she only calls Xiaotian "little hero", for those wondering 2. her mandarin "no. it's pain/suffering." actually sounds so Tired and Pained- the no especially makes me think that at this point she's as far as struggling to get any words out
Tumblr media
THIS MANS SAYS SHIIIIIIFU SO FUCKIN SMUGLY N BITCHY IM GON BITE HIS MINERAL ASS GO OFF KING
Tumblr media
so mandarin Six Ear is known especially to me to have a VERY steady voice. he's incredibly calm almost thru fuckin Everything, including this special. his voice never rises up- it's almost as if he was stuck in a suave manipulative threat mode constantly
Except This One Fucking Time.
THIS interaction is what BREAKS his calm demeanor after ALL the seasons- he did NOT go squeaky in his debut episode (not countin the trainin sesh cuz that was more like choked up/running out of breath), he did NOT go squeaky upon recounting the events that build him up into what he is, he did NOT go squeaky over bein abducted by the not-mayor, basically enslaved by the White Bone Spirit and later on INFUSED with the bone demon's powers, no.
what fuckin breaks him is bein compared to the one person he was presumably created from. (very tempted to say sib culture wins here)
Tumblr media
i was quite a tad worried at first that the mandarin dub would end up not giving SWK the emotional weak moments because the voice acting when he breaks out of WBS's control n thanks Xiaotian did not have the same shaky hit to it like the og english version had
i was... pleasantly surprised at the same time as distraught over how small and... Weak and lost THE Great Sage sounds when he gives his apology to his kid, though
he is So genuinely sorry. it hurts him that he hurt his little hero
after Xiaotian makes his joke with the noodles, he sounds close to tears. first he panics over being misunderstood, he stumbles thru his words and then he curls up, voice stretched out in a way that makes me think of my own before i cry. and then his words fade out in a raspy sigh
Tumblr media
and it is still Weak and Raspy and charmingly Imperfect in the last sentences we hear from Sun Wukong

So uhh…there’s this thing going around that Macaque wasn’t killed by Wukong
Tumblr media
@ar-blackshaw your Python Demon theory might be more possible than you think-
What if Macaque used it too much that the Python Demon wasn’t too happy about him exploiting his powers so they dragged him down to the Underworld themselves

So me and @ar-blackshaw had the for a scene
So basically macaque asked sun wukong how did he manage to participate in a movie if he has stage fright, wukong tells him that he actually paid a demon to do that for him and macaque decided to get dramatic for shits and giggles

So, why don't you like the idea of Jinmay being human? (Theoretically, she doesn't necessarily have to be human, she could be another humanoid species, so is your problem with her bring human specifically, or being in any way organic?) Also, would your problem be that if she was human in any way she might be able to use the power primate, and thus be overpowered? Or that she could be much older than she appears? (Sorry for the long ask)
Tumblr media
Alright. Alrightyyyyy right right. 
This entire explanation can be summed up as “I’m autistic so I connect with non-human characters better”
But I’ll go a little deeper for clarity’s sake. It IS about specifically being human.
I’d be fine with having her be organic, or able to use the power primate, anything that isn’t human. 
Jinmay is treated like a person throughout her entire existence (by the protags) and they all respect her as much as any human, despite being fundamentally different from humans. Her non-humaness goes a lot deeper for her than she initially thought, and after some training and learning, she’s been able to manage these things to be used effectively.
If you make her human, you take away a good chunk of that. A large component that I like about her is the sheer horror she probably felt when Sakko opened her chest only to see gears and wires. She thought she was human, but she’s not. All this stuff she thought was normal wasn’t normal. SHE’S DIFFERENT.
She could go to school and blend in with everyone there perfectly, make friends... and she would still think like a robot. 
Which honestly is a good substitute for autism. I know the “robot character is autism rep” thing isn’t a good trope but that’s why Jinmay is great, because she’s still treated with as much respect as everyone else. Also she’s cute and cares about her friends.
If you were to make her like “a human brain put in a robot body” or “cyborg” or literally anything that meant she was made into the robot she is, it wouldn’t feel genuine. It wouldn’t be who she is, it would be something that happened to her. She’d be a human with extra bits added on.
If you give her the opportunity to BECOME human, then you’re giving her a cure for her character. Thinking that a robot isn’t something great to be.
I want a character that has always been a little different form everyone else, and when she finds out why she’s different, she finds out the full extent of who she could be. To find others like her.  This kinda story can be made with anything not the norm, but it’s most fun when it’s with a non-human thing. 
This kinda logic is also why I don’t really see Antauri as a robot. He’s not, he’s a monkey. There isn't even an argument about his sentience. If he eventually embraces his status as “undead robot” he’ll be amazing and way too powerful but that’s a completely different story arc.
Also, if you make Jinmay human she’s just boring.

What do you think of the rescue rangers being integrated into DuckTales? (I for one love the rescue rangers)
I will be completely level with y’all:Modern Ducktales was my first experience with Disney Afternoon. I grew up without fancy cable and mostly watched anime on VHS or relatively low-cost channels like Sailor Moon and Pokemon. Ali has been showing me Darkwing Duck and we’re slowly planning to work through other series but I have absolutely no clue about any of this stuff and have never watched Rescue Rangers in my LIFE, so I sadly have no opinion. :’D

Worldbuilding with Yokai, Original Yokai
@ar-blackshaw​ asked: 
I have a w.i.p. set in a future where Earth was supernaturally ripped apart and different landmasses went different places. The main setting is what once was Japan. I’m not Japanese, so I’ll have to do lots of research. The plot takes place in the future, so cultures have evolved, but I plan on keeping as true to the culture as possible (also, I definitely do have Japanese characters). My problem is that a main focus is yokai, and I am unsure about whether it is acceptable to use yokai. 
If it’s fine, is creating my own original yokai acceptable? And, I was thinking of having churches turn into yokai (a church eats someone). What about altering yokai to not be mythologically accurate? Having yokai characters? Yokai being oppressed/exploited? I can, if needed, redact the Yokai and cultural elements and replace them with something else (eg. Vairlee which would be objects that become animate after a certain amount of time – I do know there are yokai other than Tsukumogami) 
Forgive the bluntness of this reply. We have received many, many asks.
I appreciate your awareness that you will need to do more research on yokai. Please ensure that such research includes the historical and cultural origins of yokai. 
A Japanese webcomic artist who often includes yokai in their work recommends Book of Yōkai and Pandemonium and Parade by Michael Dylan Foster and Japandemonium Illustrated by Toriyama Sekien.
No. Please do not make your own yokai or alter existing yokai. In popular Japanese media, the content creators who do this are Japanese people who have the necessary cultural competency to decide which details are worth preserving and which aren’t. You are not in that position. 
No, I don’t recommend showing yokai being oppressed or exploited unless exploring themes of oppression is a key part of your story’s narrative.
My biggest issue is I do not understand why Japan needs to be the setting for this story. Surely, a similar story could be done with supernatural creatures from a culture and setting with which you are more familiar. Based on the details you have provided, it is not clear to me how this story benefits from a Japanese setting or the use of yokai. 
This is a personal opinion, but I think diversity in fiction is less about writing in diverse settings for the mere sake of diversity. Rather, as a writer, I use diversity to explore narratives that can’t be effectively told without diversity. I’m not saying you shouldn’t write this story, but I would need more details to determine what advice would be meaningful.
- Marika.

There is a million and one other things I should be doing but instead I couldn’t stop thinking about  @monkeymindscream and @ar-blackshaw posts about the similarities in Valeena’s and Jinmay’s design. And, well, after my calendar drawing I had ‘Jinmay = Chi’ still on my mind which of course lead to ‘then Valeena = Freya’.
So of course I had to take another Chobits art piece and stick SRMTHG! characters in it. Just flats for now, may finish shading it later if I have the time.

I didnt think a following for this fanbase existed! I thought I'd be one of the few who was excited about it getting released to Disney+. Thanks for the blog, now I can indulge!!
Ahhh thank you for the kind words!
We have a small but dedicated fandom for SRMTHFG here on tumblr! We’ve been screaming about the Disney+ release for weeks and we’re SO SO HYPED about it. We’re all doing our part to get the show a lot of views and see if that means anything exciting for us in the future!
If you’re looking for other SRMTHFG blogs, I could recommend some of my friends!
@projectaffectivity​ for excellent meta and analysis and some fantastic fan comics and edits!
@theblacksunking makes super high quality fan comics and produces content faster than any human being should be able to. Their original work is amazing as well!
@formlessmonkeys is one of the funniest people I’ve ever seen, their monkey art is CUTE and they are currently doing a review/in depth video series on the show!

@sweetcircuits​ you tagged me in this... literally ages ago and I’m sorry it took me this long!! I get kind of nervous interacting with people hahaaaa
7 PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER. 
rules:  fill this up and then tag 7 people you’d like to know better!
one / ( alias / name ):  I’m Erika! 
two / ( date of birth ):  January 27th
three / ( zodiac sign ): Aquarius
four / ( height ): 5′2″
five / ( hobbies ): Mostly drawing hahaaaa, I would say writing but I mostly sit at a blank document and stew about plots rather than actually write
six / ( favorite color ):  Blue! More specifically light or pastel blues
seven / ( favorite books ):  I... don’t read as often as I should hahaaaaa.
eight / ( last song listened to ): About Love by Marina  
nine / ( last film or show watched ): Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
ten / ( story behind url ): Not a big story, my older sister had a tumblr account under the url “hey-(HerName)” so I kinda just copied her. Over ten years later she’s been off tumblr for years now and I’m still here lmao
eleven / ( inspiration for muse / talk about an oc ): I have my SRMTHFG OC Maki! He’s part of a whole 7,000+ clan of hyper intelligent ring-tailed lemurs, drifting in a bio dome on a station through space. Maki is a very literal-minded, incredibly dedicated, and loyal warrior who is desperate for some kind of ultimate purpose. My plan for this is a story in which Mandarin escapes from where he’s been imprisoned and quite literally crashes into Maki’s colony. From then on Mandarin uses Maki’s friendship in order to usurp power over this “army” from the ground up.
I also have an OC whose backstory I still have to work out the finer details for, but her name is Sachiko and she is a Japanese Macaque. here’s her picture:
Tumblr media
TAGGED BY: @sweetcircuits​ again, sorry for the hold up!
TAGGING: I’m... kinda nervous about the idea of tagging other people... I suppose @neopuff​ @ar-blackshaw​ @chaos-in-a-jar​ @anna-mator​ @purfectprincessgirl​ You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to!!

Do you know any other LMK artists that don't ship sh@dowp3ach and views the two as either brothers or former friends (like how the show canonically portrays them)?
At this point, it's kind of getting annoying that the vast majority ships them, the other day my friends and I got harassed by a die hard shipper lecturing us on how we shouldn't ship them with female characters (or female oc's) because of some lie they're trying to put about them being canonically gay and in love.
oh damn it has gotten to That kinda point?? das impressively horrid ! welcome to the sufferers club, i am offerin u bread in sympathy-based solidarity ✊😔
uhhh.... the ONLY artists i can recall as of now is @/aceiinspacee and afaik from my insider knowledge @/journeytomonkiekid's Mac isn't actually supposed to be romantically affiliated with SWK (but yanno, Vix's comic ain't bout them but it's Something to consume without havin to worry bout the shdwpch presence) @/fre-dream might be worth a mention ? they don't really draw stuff with the monkeys, rather focusing on their OCs but i'm like solid 95% sure they don't necessarily pair up the two anymore i recommend checkin out @/forgettin-my-legos just cuz they don't ship the thing n even tho they aint really active rn i have a soft spot for 'em n they make me smile when they pop up in my notifs
other peeps i'd recommend would be @/sun-wukongs-peaches (not an artist n he ain't in the LMK fandom anymore exactly cuz of the shdwpch bullshit, but he Used to be so if u scroll down enough u might find some leads to shdwpch-free stuff) n then ofc @/sketching-shark (main blog, but they offer some really fun insights, they post drawings from time to time [i'd more credit them to jt/tw itself over LMK tho] n just like s-wks-peaches they reblog strictly non-romantic stuff so if u r willin to dig u might find smth) and @/ar-blackshaw is also not on the hog ship train

do you have any theories about Rumble and Savage? How do you think they could appear on the show?
Like but I would love to hear your theories/ideas on Rumble and savagehear your theories/ideas on Rumble and savage
I'd like to hear your theories/ideas on Rumble and Savage.
Tumblr media
asdgearfwd WELL @maidenofthecloud I know these guys were only invented to sell toys and That's It, but honestly before realizing the discrepancies between the lego sets and the show itself I had been looking forward to seeing Rumble and Savage in Monkie Kid! I was excited for Macaque to fully embrace the og classic Six-Eared Macaque role and be a terrifying villain, and getting some henchmonkeys/minions/horrible little skull sons seemed to potentially be part of that. Rumble and Savage could have been a neat callback to JTTW itself too, as there LEMH used the monkeys of Mt. Huaguoshan as his personal tools to achieve his aims, and what better way to signal this descent into villainy in legoland than to show Macaque being willing to bring other yao into existence specifically to be the means to his ends? I also imagined these skull simians to potentially be a signal that not only were we going to get to see more monkey yaoguai (maybe even some members of the Mt. Huaguoshan troop), but that LEMH would later down the line get to grow outside of his violent obsession with Sun Wukong. Having some more monkey yaoguai who were tied to him but then maybe started to grow some agency and resentments of their own seemed to signal that LEMH would have to deal with the consequences of his own misdeeds instead of always getting to blame everything on Sun Wukong, and the potential character growth for both him and the skull simians seemed like a cool thing to explore. Plus @ar-blackshaw came up with this really cool theory that Rumble and Savage were potentially tied to the Red Python Demon, which got me excited that we would get to see that giant snake at some point. Oh well! As is I like the idea that you came up with the other day, so that's what happens in the version of Monkie Kid that eixsts in my mind haha.
