Also another random thought Macaque says “everybody wants to be the hero of their own story.” But MK is different. He says he relates to the warrior in Macaques story and is convinced he will be the villain of his own story if that’s how “evil monkey demon thing” can be interpreted. This means something but idk what rn

MK is different in certain aspects, and he may not view himself as the hero, but he very much wants to be the hero of his own story. He wants to help people, and he wants to use his position of power for good and to protect his friends.

Now, that sounds simple, but lmk has muddied those basic motivations.

Wanting to help people is great, but what if helping those people is at the detriment of others? What if it risks the entire world?

Using your power for good is super cool. But what defines good? What defines bad? What if you can't tell who is the hero and who is the villain? The "good guy" or "bad guy"?

Protecting your friends? Awesome! But what if you go too far getting the power you need to protect them? What if you only push them away in your constant reach for something more?

The thing about being good, or at least trying to be good, is that it's hard. It's a lot harder to figure out the right thing to do and then do it than it is to just not care. And I think that's what Curse MK was really pushing at, that's why he was telling MK to embrace a path of chaos—because, well, if all paths lead to pain, why care? Just do whatever you want with no regard for anyone else! That's much easier, right? Just give in! Embrace your Destiny!

But that life is also empty. It's self-destructive in it's own way.

However, attempting to be the Hero? That can also eat you up from the inside out. Trying to do what you think is "right" is what lead the Lady Bone Demon and Azure Lion to their own destruction. It's pulling MK into his own downward spiral.

And that's why I think the path of the Warrior is so important! It's a third option outside of the "hero" and "villain" binary. It's someone who still cares, but not someone who is going to destroy themself for the sake of a better world.

#yes I DID sneak in a bit of stuff from my hero and warrior meta at the end there! Thanks for noticing! #I love monkeys #I think I really hit the nail on the head here actually #I'm no english major but I have critical analysis skillzzz to pay the billzzzz #asks #lmk #lmk MK #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk analysis #Remember when it was cute and funny that MK was the Monkie Kid and SWK was the Monkey King #Simpler times

we need to bring back muse diaries. I feel like I need to share a daily monologue of these lil bastards running around in my head and every terrible thought they’ve caused.

#again I don’t write my stories #these characters do dumb shit and I write the incident report #like all my AUs interacting all at once #and if you don’t know what a muse diary is #you too damn young to be on this blog #cherry chats 🍒 #it was cringe #but damnit were we free #simpler times
