genuinely struggling to feel any excitement about the jo gigs i’m attending thanks to the insane fans who choose to queue even since midnight at the day of the gig

something invokes the carnal rage in me when a grown man rages like a two-year old over a video game

Being an aromatic romantic is fucking weird. Yeah I would love to fall in love. Too bad I never feel that kind of attraction 🤷‍♂️

you know when something happens and you're like "eh that's annoying but not a big deal" and then hours later your brain pops back in like "hey! surprise!! i'm actually super upset about this!"

This is in reference to your most recent post, but I honestly get so confused when people who watch LMK haven't read or at least done research on the source material(JTTW) because I feel like it dampens their experience of appreciating the characters. 

JTTW, which is what LMK is referenced from, is rich with tradition, meaning, and culture. Not understanding JTTW gives you a very one dimensional approach to all the characters but especially Wukong since he is currently one of the only original JTTW figures from the main cast. And in misunderstanding Wukong’s source material means that people really don’t understand shadowpeach like they should. 

Even if we were to only go from the context of the show, shadowpeach started out super toxic. LMAO! These guys were at each other’s throat constantly and were not amicable at all. The appeal is the fact that it is alluded to/shown that these two used to have a very close relationship but something happened to separate them. That’s where the intrigue begins, that’s what gets the gears turning in the viewer’s head. Something happened to make them this way and we want to know! In JTTW canon, Wukong did kill Macaque and it was actively against Buddha’s requests not to. Bro did not care, lol.  I think it is also important to realize that LMK and JTTW are still different BUT it’s honestly quite foolish, in my opinion, to completely disregard the book it is based on. And there’s nothing wrong with fans taking canon things from JTTW and applying it to LMK. Especially if it’s their own fanfiction or interpretation(like your fic). It has been a common theory that Wukong killed Macaque(pretty much since the show started), especially given a lot of the evidence we have been presented with. Disregarding one of the writer’s statements, it’s completely reasonable to make the connection between JTTW and LMK that Wukong did kill Macaque. Especially considering we are shown in the third season a flashback that they did have a violent brawl before his supposed death and subsequent resurrection. 

Shadowpeach IS inherently toxic, especially before there’s any character growth between them, and I personally feel like it’s okay to acknowledge that and embrace it. I understand people tend to gravitate away from any forms of toxicity because, yeah, it feels weird saying you like a ship of two people who hate each other. But that’s the fun thing about enemies to lovers! And shadowpeach has so much more depth to it because it can be interpreted in so many different ways. I wholeheartedly believe that their versatility and depth as a ship is largely the reason why they are one of the biggest ships in the fandom. And their depth comes from the fact that they are inherently flawed characters.  

This need to uphold Sun Wukong on a pedestal he does not deserve ultimately ruins the thing that makes them special. And that's how undeniably human he is. Someone wouldn’t know that just from watching LMK, especially since the show either glosses over the darker parts of JTTW or alters them entirely. Stripping Wukong specifically of the overflowing amount of wonderful source material he has completely dumbs down the beauty of his character. I think playing around with the idea that he did kill Macaque(in regards to LMK canon) doesn’t really change where they come from very much. Idk if anyone else has noticed, but the season 4 special is obviously still not the full picture. That little fight in the mountain is 100% not what makes them hate each other so much. That much animosity for an altercation like that?? It doesn’t make any sense. We still don’t have the full picture, and people are basing their attitude towards each in seasons 1-3 on insufficient evidence. 

Anyway, sorry lol. Seeing people not appreciate shadowpeach for the mess it is makes me so unbelievably disappointed and frustrated(especially if they know nothing about JTTW) and the internet is a great place to bounce off opinions. I promise this isn’t directed towards anyone in particular and it doesn’t come out of anger, I just think there is a common misunderstanding of shadowpeach’s complex foundation and I refuse to stand for it. /lh /nm

Okay, my weird rant is over, haha. I completely understand your irritation with comments like that, though, and I am so sorry you have to deal with them. 

Damn, I don't really have anything to add to this. I think you said it all. I can pack it up and go home LMFAO Can this be my new pinned post

Oh, I will say one thing. The fandom is def afraid or in denial that shadowpeach, in any iteration, is toxic. In order for it not to be, they'd have to be grossly out of character, and then guess what friends? That's not shadowpeach!

But a lot of people do that and are content with that. Which, okay, but stay off my porch LMFAO

why does my roommate feel the need to turn the air conditioning all the way off sometimes and then just not tell me so i think i have a fever but no it's just 78f/26c in the fucking apartment

i'm bringing it up at work tomorrow, but whichever higher up decided "oh to save time let's pre-pack these goods and store them like that!", when we need to completely unpack them to label them for the specific job and make sure the right stuff is in there - stupid. let's devote 6 hours of work time to something and then do it again for no reason.

i am seriously hoping that i can leverage whatever smart guy reputation and respect i have into making these people listen to the complaints their long time workers have had forever. this place is run so fucking stupidly i stg

at the same time: long time workers, you've been telling me there's no documentation for months - but it's all in a binder u ignore, c'mon man. like the documentation isn't GOOD. but there's something there we don't need to fly blind. would be nice to get actually trained tho that's true

Having no car in the UK is whack. I want to see so much but I am tied by the local super expensive and inconvenient railway system.

Wanna go see Tintagel, the shadow or the legendary Camelot? That'd be a lil more than an hour by car and 6 fucking hours via public transport (!)

Why not see the mysterious Stonehenge instead? Hmm, maybe because it's a 2 hours car ride but twice as long by train with 4 changes.

Yearning for the romantic atmosphere of the picturesque Lake District? Yearn for something closer cause that'd be around 100 pounds per a relaxing one-way train journey with 6 changes, and that's with a railcard.

trying to compartmentalize the newest round of bullshit in my life. why is it so much harder this time than it usually is, ugh.

[plexippusangel]

Logically I know that the reason why people find me so easy to disregard is because I am really shitty at advocating for myself and I haven't been flexing that skill out of fear of being found to be inconvenient, I'm not just inherently easy to ignore, but. It still hurts.

The weird thing is that I have the skills to advocate for myself! I am literally just choosing not to use them bc I've calculated the costs and I really don't think I can afford to be a source of additional friction right now. I'm not gonna call myself a stupid, passive baby because that's not the actual situation.

I relate to this so much it HURTS!
