*Opens drawer, revealing a comically long line of various LMK bookmarks organized into neat little folders*

The Heart Behind the Lie by Nekohime19

Shadowpeach

[Directly following Embrace Your Destiny] A mixed plotline that begins with Wukong recovering from LBD’s possession, and transforms into a pseudo-necromancy scheme.

✨Peach Blossom Jade by Six_Eared_Gremlin

Shadowpeach, Spicynoodles

[Post-Emperor’s Wrath] Best described as “Season 5 If the Writer’s Had Balls”. A fun original arc with new antagonists and a few OC’s added for worldbuilding. I worry for all of the characters. The explicit lack of content warnings haunts me.

Nesting Regrets by Marinara_Trench

Shadowpeach

[Post-Emperor’s Wrath] Wuh-oh! MK activated another cursed artifact and now Macaque is all funky. Whatever could fix this? Only the power of overcoming trauma!

✨A Garden Across our Collarbone by PittedPeaches

Spicynoodles, Freenoodles

[Post-Embrace Your Destiny] Soulmate AU that may or may not be a metaphor for internalized homophobia. Not much to add because of its sheer iconography.

✨Surprise Adoption by SupremeDramaOverlord

Shadowpeach

[Alternate Timeline] A standard “Brotherhood succeeded their siege over heaven” AU where two Monkies learn how to raise a severely traumatized child. They are terrible at it.

The Monkey and the Bull Demon by Midnight_Dream_Tides

Spicynoodles

[Timeline Unknown] Hurt/comfort fic with a handful of creative liberties on demon magic.

✨A Bone to Pick by SmilesThroughFandoms

Shadowpeach, Chimera

[Post-Embrace Your Destiny] What’s a gang of hero’s to do when a mystery girl washes up on shore and starts spewing nonsense? Ensue whacky hijinks, of course! A surprisingly charming OC-centred story.

Shadows on the Mountain by sillymonkey

Shadowpeach

[Timeline Unknown] A transmasc Macaque deals with the pains of being AFAB during a special time for monkeys on FFM. Instead of going where you’d think it does, the author reflects on their own experiences with dysphoria.

✨Couch Crasher by PittedPeaches

Mixtape

[Post-Emperor’s Wrath] Porty separated from MK months ago, and has been living his new life as a homeless DJ. It makes sense that he would do anything to have a couch… it’s just a coincidence that this one is in Red Son’s secret underground apartment.

Shit, this is NOT what I was Expecting by J3llyyfishDust

Shadowpeach, Freenoodles

[Post-Emperor’s Wrath] MK’s still overcoming the trauma of finding out he’s not actually human. This cool stone he found on FFM isn’t doing much better. Weird, why does it almost feel like it’s alive?

Sunbreak by LadyGreenFrisbee

Shadowpeach

[Pre-canon] A newly resurrected Macaque discovers an infant monkey that looks weirdly a lot like him. Shouldnt matter too much; he’s trying to escape his contract with LBD… taking the kid shouldn’t hurt too much though, right?

Prank Gone Wrong by dragzo

Spicynoodles

[Post-Emperor’s Wrath] MK’s doing his very best to admit his feelings to Red Son, and the best plan he has is to do it during a special speech he’s giving at a Gala. Mei, being the mischief incarnate she is, has a silly idea up her sleeve. A satisfying retrospective on coming out as aroace.

Second Chances by Zephyra_loves_fandoms

Shadowpeach, Freenoodles, Chimera

[Post-Embrace Your Destiny] Okay, fine! Macaque will help train MK. But he’s not happy about it. However, through this new way Wukong has contact with him, maybe he can actually get that closer on their relationship that he needs. A fun interpretation of pastdowpeach and Macaque’s backstory.

✨Of Blood and Bones by EmerialynCodeVenice

Shadowpeach, Spicynoodles

[Alternate Timeline] Another “Brotherhood overthrows heaven” AU, except LBD has a lot more strings to pull. With the wielder of the Samadhi Fire and Harbinger of Chaos answering her every beck and call, how could she not achieve her destiny?

✨In for a Penny, in for a Pound by PeaceOfArt

Shadowpeach, Dragonfruit, Freenoodles

[Alternate Timeline] Macaque is an infamous thief who has yet to find an item he can’t steal. This reputation is challenged when LBD recruits him to steal the Emperor’s most prized possession: a monkie. A fun royalty AU that’s too soft for the climaxe’s own good.

Squashed Apricots by sunplum

Shadowpeach

[Pre-Canon/Rewrite] The monkies finally got their crap together and worked their shit out. The sturdiness of their new relationship is challenged by a newborn arriving on their doorstep… Wukong makes it worse by feeding said newborn his hair.

✨Monkies Deserve Better by Artemis Moore

Shadowpeach, Spicynoodles

[Post-Embrace Your Destiny] Have you ever wished that the LMK writers weren’t restricted by writing for a Chinese kid’s show? Have you ever wanted the canon to reflect an in-depth understanding of the mythos? Have you ever yearned to see your favourite characters go through absolute hell for 800k words? This spiritual Season 4 (5, 6, 7, and 8) is perfect for you. This series is so good there was a point it occupied more of my brain than the show itself. The writer is the spouse of Six_Eared_Gremlin, so if you like their writing, you’ll also probably like this!

These are all incredible fics in their own right, but a ✨ next to it means I’ve screamed over at least one update.

Ships in italics take place in the background

I'm sooooo bored I miss lmk :(

"If I hadn't believed in that stupid hope someone gave me..."

Jack & Joker (2024)

c. euripides, anne carson

[l0v3lylune]

wild life session 4 is so funny because grian and scar’s dynamic has just turned into divorced murder husbands who used to plot murders together but now plot murders AGAINST each other i love it so much

[turtleblogatlast]

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

[ironinkpen]

The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer

Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.

Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.

I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.

THE JETSET LIFE IS GONNA KILL YOU, ERIC CARTER!

my laptop charger uhhhhhh. met its end in a very permanent, very fire hazardy kind of way last week. while waiting for a replacement I decided to try and get some work done at the library and was asking around for some urban fantasy (extra points for a mystery plot of some kind) recommendations to check out while I was there

the eric carter series was mentioned a couple of times, AND had the added bonus of having a necromancer for a main character. I love necromancers. someday I'm gonna play one in a game instead of immediately defaulting to vampires.

this is terrifying

Dan reciting "My humps" on February 15, 2018 and February 16, 2024.

February 15, 2018 is the "press the button" video. the same game was recently played in a video they uploaded on January 24, 2024. February 16, 2024 is the WikiHow video. their first WikiHow video was uploaded on January 31, 2018.

dnp's universe is fucked up. we're literally reliving 2018.

People don't realise it, but Alfred is actually a lot more soft-hearted and forgiving than his twin. Matthew's more personable, for sure, but he's cutthroat AND he holds grudges.

Baby Alfred chose Arthur because he saw Arthur was sad. He chose to comfort a stranger over FOOD, which we know Alfred loves. He barely hesitated.

I like to think Matthew watched Francis be sad about losing to Arthur for two weeks before finally deciding, well, his food DOES look good...

When someone wrongs Alfred he's pretty okay with either ignoring it or forgiving it; Matthew is taking notes and treating it like it's a personal insult and he is NOT letting it go. (When Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, Matthew had Canada declaring war before America even did - man does NOT fuck around about defending his baby brother when he needs to).

Alfred doesn't get a free pass, either. If Matthew does something hurtful or annoying, Alfred barely flinches and just moves on. He forgives and forgets easily. Mattie is HOLDING A GRUDGE and bringing it up for the next twenty five years. Sometimes, he goes too far in retaliating, and then Alfred is crying and Matthew loses the high ground and feels guilty. But after Alfred's done crying he's quick to forgive, so Matthew's not really learning any lessons on restraint.

When you wrong him and you're NOT his brother... well, philosophically, is it really murder if you know they'll come back to life?

truly love how slowly but surely every companion is turned into a spineless doormat so as not to offend the fragile egos of the lowest common denominator of their playerbase or inconvenience them ever so slightly 💀

So basically this is what happened in the first 4 PJO episodes right?

[twinstxrs]

thinking about kageyama’s “it’s the setter’s job to break the wall in front of the spiker” in reference to how kenma sponsoring hinata while he’s in brazil and onwards is effectively doing that on a financial level. once a setter always a setter.

the s2 episode 8 of Hannibal Lector I'm watching right now is beyond me. the ending-literal chills. first time Hannibal alluded to admiting to the things he did to Will, while holding his head (the same way he held him when Will came to him in a state of feverish nothing-and-too-much-of-everything burger with Gideon huh?) while also. OK. it's not me imagining it right Hannibal is looking at him with hearts in his eyes and a hypothetical boner purely because Will is so broken he was ready to shoot a man ne never even directly talked to (the man was covered in horse blood) (yes. if you haven't watched Hannibal. it's hypothetically normal but also thus feels fucking different)

I think im starting to understand the homierotism of it all finally. shame I haven't watched these series earlier

THE SCANNER SERIES: THE EARLY YEARS [Official NBC Press Release including 35mm slides for Mr. Rhodes - dated: November 6, 1996]

[mania-sama]

You and Rosa (we're all three mutually fans of King-Highway) tboth keep bringing up All for the Game, I feel like I should like, ACTUALLY read it.

I have a tab open on my phone but I keep procrastinating 🙃

All for the Game is... wow. How do I even describe it?

When people talk about this book series, they will often say that it's bad and they would never recommend it to other people, but that it stole their hearts and souls. I understand where they're coming from, but I don't necessarily agree with them. The book series itself does have pitfalls and horrific narrative choices, but I wouldn't say it's overall bad or even mediocre. It's good. It wouldn't have such a rabid fanbase if it was... bad. It reads somewhat like fanfic, and given the triggering material inside, it wouldn't be so bad to treat it like fanfic.

If you already have the tab open to read it, then I'm sure you have already been warned about the triggers in the book series. This is mainly why people refuse to recommend AFTG to others. It's a lot. Every. single. page. you get punched in the face with a new horrific scene or thought or backstory. It's honestly astounding and a huge part of what makes it so enjoyable. There is NEVER a dull moment. ALL of the characters are traumatized. And yes, it does get worse before it gets better.

The best part of the book series is that the main character, Neil, does not know when to shut the fuck up. He shoots off at the mouth against his better judgment at every given opportunity, and it's glorious every single time. He's the real seller of the series, which is good since he's the main character. When you finish, you'll come away with Neil "I have a bit of an attitude problem" Josten nestled into your heart like a fatal case of tapeworm. He never gives you a second to stop and think; he's always moving, always running, and always dragging the reader along for the ride.

This is all to say: read it. It's so fun and enjoyable and hilarious. It was written in 2013 by a teenager as a fruitful passion project and it shows, but I'd argue that's what makes it good and unique. It's entirely, one-hundred percent it's own. And it's so, so entertaining.

Also, canonically LGBTQ+. The gays win this one!
