#Look the way MK get's covered in bone stuff in 2x10 is the same way Mei get's covered in 3x12 like

hello hi could you talk about MK? like literally anything about him you want, thoughts you haven't said yet or things you've been saying over and over again?

I have the perfect rant lined up for this actually!

So: MK existing outside of the jttw story.

There are several scenes where MK feels...very disconnected from the rest of the gang. Like, in 3x09 when everyone else is reflecting on how familiar the samadhi fire sealing grounds feels, MK doesn't recognize anything. In the scroll, we meet everyone's ancestors/past life except MK's (which they lampshade in 4x05), but we do run into the curse. Even in 4x02, MK isn't a constellation in the stars like every other main character is.

Now, the scroll of memory, as far as I am aware (and after tying to look into it) is not something that exists in jttw. Like MK, it exists outside of the jttw story.

Azure Lion: "That and a great many other tales I'm sure. Everything that has ever happened, every deed, ever word has been recorded in the scroll of memory." (4x02 New Adventures)

Back in August, an anon pointed out the swirl and star that turns up in multiple places, as seen in this post.

"The first star is above/outside of "everything that has ever happened" (aka what is recorded on the scroll of memory), and the second star with Wukong is only seen because reality is breaking apart (aka we start to see what is 'outside of everything')."

So I just want do draw the connection between MK and the scroll who both exist outside of journey to the west, and this star that exists outside of reality.

(Post with MK & Underworld Connections, I realize that may seem out of left field if you haven't seen this before lol)

Which, the fact that both MK and the scroll are lmk originals makes me even more certain they are related!
