Episode 4 spoilers ahead-- some quick anatomy illustrations I made!
Sorry the body isn’t terribly detailed, but here’s his basic anatomy in his Coolguy form! In his mid-form he’s much closer to normal tall human height, perfect for, say, resting your head on his chest UwU

So, what are your thoughts on the "omg what if MK breaks the staff" of the MK vs SWK predictions?
So, admittedly I have never thought about this or heard of this. But now that the idea's been presented to me...
I kinda love it.
Post s3 I was expecting the staff to have a little bit more of a negative connotation moving forward (since MK tends to use it as a crutch/feels he needs it in seasons 1-3). In 4x08 we get MK saying "It's always my fault! Ever since I picked up Monkey King's staff I-" echoing Tangs words in 3x13 "MK, from the moment you picked up the Monkey King's staff, their stories became our stories. It's our responsibility to write the final chapter, no matter the outcome." and LBD's words in 3x14 "You're right MK. If you had never found that staff none of this would have been possible. A delivery boy to the end."
But, other than that—even despite the fact MK had assumed his powers came from the staff and he felt "incomplete without it"—in s4 MK returns to using the staff like normal.
Now, in s4 we also see Wukong using the staff more than we ever had before. In 4x07 he grabs the staff to attack the curse, and in the s4 special MK both gifts back Monkey King the staff (a moment I will never get over) and MK/SWK trade off using the staff against Azure. Whereas Wukong had given the staff to MK in AHIB, it seems now they have a sort of dual ownership over it. Which, I'm super excited to see how that plays out moving forward—but I also wonder if they're saving MK's eventual departure from the staff for later. One thing that I always notice watching s4 is the fact that while MK's in Monkey Form, he never uses the staff to attack. He only uses himself as a weapon ("You don't use a weapon, you are a weapon!" anyone?) so I think it's definitely going a "MK is going to no longer need/use the staff" direction.
And now, if the writers were to force this to happen by having MK break it during his fight with Wukong...that would be super interesting. I would quite possibly lose my whole entire shit, and I don't have many of those to spare.

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.
i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

[fic: wicked love] Peter, have you thought about college yet? Like, where will you go and how it might affect your relationship with Tony? Have you talked about it with him at all?
Ugh, yeah, I already got my acceptance letter from MIT before we really knew what was going on with my coughing. Dad still wants me to go, and-- I get it, it's MIT, but it sucks that we're going to have to be long-distance? I'm kind of worried about it. …I'm really worried about it. I'll miss him a lot, and I just-- things are so complicated, it seems like we should take some time to get sort of settled before making a change like that, right?
I told him I could always do a year at Columbia and then transfer to MIT so we had more time before I leave, and he asked if I'd even be considering that if I was with anyone else, and… he's right that I really wouldn't? So he said he doesn't want to hold me back and-- it's just so messy!
I'm afraid… I'm afraid he's going to talk himself out of it while I'm gone, and if that's what he really wants then that's fine, but if it's just, y'know-- him being hard on himself and deciding he can't be good for me all on his own without talking to me, then that's-- ugh. I don't know. He said he wouldn't just spring something on me like that, and that helps, but-- it was just so awful when he was in California before and I don't want it to feel like that again.
We'll… we'll just have to talk about it, I guess. Um, I hope that answers your question.

Reading reviews of Frankenstein (shelley) and to be honest I think the reason modern people find it so un-scary is because of how much people hype it up as the "world's first horror/scifi". "World's first" does not equal "scariest" and the hype of the time can be exaggerated (The Exorcist effect) and even then the threshold for horror is raised over time. so like, while it might be funny to us today that someone would find it scary, the tone of lit. at the time was def different than it is today

Morty was really nice.
The second he gets his microphone back, he creates a starring role for Luigi on the spot (as a mix of inspiration and appreciation for Luigi's star potential? Man's got a good eye)
And y'know, I think if Weegee hadn't been scared out of his mind, facing down real, actual fire, and been given actual direction/a better idea of what was going on, I think he'd be ecstatic to be in a monster movie as a monster
Dream come true right buddy?
I hope Morty gives him a copy of that movie. (Also really really nice I don't have to capture him for E. Gadd)
Polterkitty on the other hand...
Such a cool as heck ghost, in both forms, but man. Is it kicking my butt. I've managed one tail so far but oof. This. Is gonna take me awhile...
