#Oblivion series

[vegalocity]

Oblivion au question:

If they do put Li Jing in the parent mindset, and make Nezha a ‘kid’ again, that still leaves the question of Nezha’s mother and Li Jing’s wife. Lady Yin.

I never really got a clear answer to where the hell she is, or if she’s even alive?? So would Mk instead give Li Jing a new partner to give Nezha another parent/mother figure?

Like say, a certain lion?

(Yes I am a Li Jing/Azure Lion shipper)

I mean idk where Lady Yin would be in a purported bad end where Xiaotian somehow grabs the entire Li family (and i mean we're not even accounting for His brothers here like Nezha's the THIRD prince he's got older brothers, Jinzha and Muzha deserve to be in the story too if we're plotting out how the whole family gets got haha)

I will say though, Lady Yin would probably just be given the PIF treatment, allowed to just be Oblivion'd enough to not fight off and then just let her live in peace somewhere, she's always been doing her best bless her

But as for Azure he's actually already accounted for Sorry to say, if Xiaotian gets hold of Wukong he has it planned that he and Azure are gonna 'get back together' because Azure had had the wrong impression on his relationship with Wukong and had presumed they were sweethearts, so he had relayed that to Xiaotian whom thus said 'i ship it'

he has it planned that Azure would eventually 'get back' with Wukong. And our current plan with things where they are- Wukong currently set free from mind control and left on the mountain hidden away with Macaque, the Generals and Marshals, Sanzang, and Lady Ishtar of Sumer (there's some American Gods Mythology blending at this point) is, to Xiaotian, lost to lies, and will probably need his brain broken in a more 'wife'-like way like Red Son currently has and Azure should be prepared to take care of him

sorry rarepair enjoyer (whom i respect greatly like thats some deep cut shipping there, i very much respect it) Xiaotian ships Lionpeach

OC tagging game!

@vegalocity tagged me in this for our Lost Princess from the Sequel to the LMK Tyrant Prince AU

Da Rules (Copy and pate 'em!)

You and hopefully one of your OCs have been tagged! Your job is to make a post about them, and it can be whatever you want! Talk about general information, their backstory, their design inspiration, post some sketches or older art, write up a few fun facts, as long as it's something!

When you're done, be sure to pass it along by tagging at least one other person and their OC (you can tag as many people as you want though!) Tag backs are allowed and encouraged.

When you tag someone, try to specify an OC, even if you don't know who they are yet (i.e. "You should do that OC with the butterfly wings you posted the other day!" or "Do the OC you drew most recently!")

Participation is not required, but even if you don't want to, it'd be great to pass the tag along to someone else!

So without further ado, meet 真君 aka Zhenjun the Lost Princess of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Now the first thing you may be asking is, but Rob, is she's meant to be a monkey, why does she have wings? That is because in the LOOOOONG drawn out ending of the Tyrant Prince AU that leads to this Sequel one Tang Sanzang ends up throwing his staff into the Jade Emperor's face, taking off on his own to strike a deal with Aphrodite before ending up in Babylon where he ends up getting adopted/becoming the champion of Queen Ishtar.

So... not exactly a a Buddha anymore, and considering this all happened because he had multiple millennia of repressed emotions regarding one very specific Monkey, it was only a matter of time before things came out and the fact that said Monkey also had millennia worth of pining to work through came out and idiots 1 and 2 finally got together.

But then you might ask, so why is she the 'Lost' Princess?

Good readers do you think these two traumatized idiots (one of which is far more traumatized than the other, having the successor you thought of as a son forcibly rip your mind apart and try to effectively make you a slave will do that to a guy) are in a place to raise a child? Especially a surprise child that came about because they are sappily in love all the time around a Goddess of Fertility (and her husband, who is also a fertility god)?

Absolutely not.

So Lady Ishtar tried to put of allowing this very nice rock to hatch into a baby, and succeeded for like, centuries. But even she had limited so off to the city to find a nice human couple struggling with conception to pass off this lovely "normal" human baby too.

(Incidentally, Zhenjun is like, the most emotionally stable out of ALL of the various on-and-off residents of FFM, because of, you know, lack of trauma and an emotionally stable upbringing)

Of course there wouldn't be a story if she stayed lost, but before that, you should meet some of her... interesting friends.

By which I mean I'm no good at tags so I'm throwing this back at @vegalocity to do our Spider BFF. (or one of the others, and only if you want)

"Till death and beyond"

!! Slight spoilers !!

Seeing how the last season of 97 ended I'm really exited for feral wolverine. And how Storm and Morph will handle him, wherever they all are.

One thing is clear though. Wolverine never gave up on Morph and they are definitely not giving up on him either!

I have wanted to try making a Comic cover for a while now and finally here it is!

oh deffo especially since Oblivion Red has a tendency to Attach to whatever MK is around him at the time prisoner MK would probably want to stay FAR away from him. docile and happy to be commanded sure, but like also SUPER affectionate and PHYSICAL about it bc that's how he was trained to be. Prisoner MK would be giving him a WIDE berth

Here’s an ask for the battle nexus.

How would Prisoner MK react to/interact with Oblivion Red Son?

Probably first finding out about him through one of the other MK’s, or even as a warning from Victim Red(through his Mei of course).

Or, for dramatic purposes, finds him by accident, sitting patiently at a bench on his own in the middle of the nexus.

He goes to leave at first, until he hears “hey there hot stuff~” and sees Yandere MK trying to drag him along to who knows where, and goes “okay, this is happening” and intervenes. He tells Oblivion Red to look ahead and not say anything until his own MK comes, or until the battle nexus closes. To which Oblivion Red, of course, complies to his wishes. He feels a bit unsettled by how… compliant this Red Son is? Empty? He tries to ignore it and go about his business. Though he informs Victim Red of this event.

It happens three more times. Three more times he tries to follow the disturbed Monkie Kid, and Prisoner MK has to intervene. At this point he starts looking for Oblivion Red’s MK. Only to find out from Yin and Jin that there isn’t anyone else from his dimension registered in the battle nexus. He talks to the other MK’s and Red’s about him and they all say they try avoiding him because of how off he seems. He comes to an agreement to step in if need be, but will leave it to the Red’s to take care of him.

I did get some asks about Oblivion Red in the Battle Nexus previously, and @vegalocity responded with a freakin great response about it, which you should definitely check out!

As for Prisoner MK interacting with Oblivion Red, I don’t see him doing much when it comes to helping or interfering with any of the Reds, even to help save them from Yandere MK. He would tell someone if he saw something he knew needed to be stopped, but he’s got a lot of trauma about Red Son in particular, so he’s not going to interact with them at all if he can help it, with few exceptions.

I dunno about mk brainblasting Li Jing into being a mindless “helper.“ yes, Li Jing isnt gikd, but the main reason he did that to the spiders was cuz they fought against him PERSOANLLY. (Also cuz spiders are ick yo him so y’know- bias.)

I feel like he would make Li Jing aware of being the “perfect parent”, and Li Jing seeing just how much… happier Nezha is while under. It could turn into another situation where he may go physically lucid, but ultimately decide to stay for Nezha. This proving that people can be “redeemed” through the oblivion in MK’s mind.

This could even feed into MK’s mindset, assuring him again and again that yes, this is what’s best.

Okay so- here's the thing-

Me and @unseelie-robynx aren't being all that purist on the show's canon, we feel like if the actual myths and stories tell a more interesting narrative we'll go with that

and one of those was the conflict between Li Jing and Nezha- in the actual stories there was a lot more hostility on either end than just 'distant dad and son trying to prove himself' there was mutual murder attempts in the MULTIPLE, you know?

and sometimes we don't agree with a direction the show takes, and find a more interesting story to alter it for us as we see fit, So our idea for how the Li Jing and Nezha situation goes is much more 'guys they literally tried to kill eachother multiple times before nezha was twelve Li Jing becoming the pagoda bearer and Nezha being TOLD to put away his vengance quest isn't gonna make things GOOD between them' (I mean i would absolutely say trying multiple times to kill your infant age child counts as making a toxic environment, right?)

We do that a few times, Tang Sanzang is a separate person entirely from Tang bc we thought that Tang not being a reincarnation and in fact just being Some Dude both made more sense on a worldbuilding level (its practically a joke in the discord server we first cooked this up in that Tang being a reincarnation of someone that shouldn't be reincarnating anymore is mythologically incoherent and it pisses both of us off to think about) and makes Tang's arc stronger anyway.

But for the way we specifically have settled on how we preferred their relationship it would make more sense for Xiaotian to have an axe to grind against His Buddy Nezha's shitty dad

especially since we have it with other characters, such as Shuyin (an oc we accidentally got too attached to and is now Xiaojiao's main love interest) whom he decided 'nah your parents suck we're gonna rehome you and do something humiliating to them so they can 'repent' they'll be happier you'll be happier i promise it'll all be better like this'

And by the time He'd have either Nezha or Li Jing in his claws on a more permanent basis he'd have gone FULL god complex and took on a more Azure-like 'nah the celestial court sucks' view he'd feel a lot more fine with fucking with people's full lives.

What’s Iron Fan’s relationship with Macaque like in the Tyrant Prince au? Because we know Wukong just wants to make Iron Fan forget about Red Son but I’m curious on how her relationship is like with Macaque because they have also been living under Wukong’s roof for some time.

So this relationship is interesting actually. Because there are two very distinct versions of it.

There's the version where PIF has had her memories of Red Son scrubbed out, and then lost her husband and she's had already been in a feedback loop of heartbreak and pain from Red Son being lost and losing DBK almost actually made things *better* because she at least had a reason to feel like her heart had been carved out. She was taken to FFM to live with SWK, as a way to heal and get over what happened (and because SWK felt so guilty, but DBK was almost gone with grief and rage at that point and it needed to happen). But that version of her is... quiet. She doesn't speak at all except to some of the baby monkeys, and the grief all but permeates off of her at all times.

That means, for her and Macaque, it's a sort of quiet companionship. I kind of went with the headcanon (And @vegalocity didn't stop me) that Princess Iron Fan and Macaque were closer than him and DBK, more of the fandom interpretation that she was kind of an (older?) sister to Macaque, where as DBK was more SWK's sworn brother instead. Subtly, but that would be the basis for that relationship.

So Macaque tries his best to help, but unlike SWK who expects PIF to eventually start to get better, (and side note, SWK doesn't expect PIF to forget about Red Son, he's actually been trying to get them to 'reconnect' because he assumes she disowned her son and that that's what all the 'I don't have any children' stuff she's said is about. Not that she's had her memory scrubbed and honestly belives she doesn't have any children), Macaque knows better, and knows that PIF had her memories gutted and so she can't 'get better'.

He worries about her, and he sometimes fears she might try to 'rejoin' DBK more permanently (which, MACAQUE knows that DBK is alive and in the rebellion, but he can't say anything, so it becomes extra stressful, as if it wasn't already) and he tries his best to take care of her and help her be at least a little ok, but the whole thing is a bit of a mass of pain.

But THEN our Tyrant Prince gets it into his head that maybe his perfect Wife who now has a*perfect baby sister to dote on (in the form of Shuyin, the cultist girl that Xiaojiao picks up that Vegalocity talks about a bit in THIS POST), deserves a perfect mama as well.

So this 'Mama', is sweet and simpering, overly doting on her 'babies', always knew that Red was an airheaded idiot (who was 'cursed' with a temper that needed to be cut out) and that both of her children had been given to her by a 'god' and that someday they were both meant to be owned by gods and to be given back to them.

In short, her personality is *yanked in the opposite direction, and while some of the real Princess Iron Fan comes out, she's now fully on board with Xiaotain and his plans, because she's been brainwashed to see him as a god, and to obey him without question.

Which means Macaque has lost yet another person that he cares about to Xiaotian's machination, and his home on FFM is even less safe. Because while SWK is only somewhat brainwashed and Macaque has to be carful to 'follow the script' around him, PIF is now completely brainwashed, and Xiaotian actually makes use of her to get Macaque out of the way for several important things. (Such as forcing SWK to tell him where some old stolen fruits are hidden away)

So Macauqe's new relationship with her is essentially one of heartbreak and distrust. Because he's lost his bond-sister, and not only that he now has to be so careful around her. Because she can use the winds and potentially learn things he doesn't want anyone to know with them, and so he doesn't get even a moment's reprieve anymore.

Which leads to bitterness.

Obviously, Macaque knows it's not PIF's fault, and that she's not willingly serving the Tyrant Prince, but the fact is she is and that's hard.

In the new dynamic, Macaque is bitter and on edge and heartbroken and guilty that he couldn't do more, but there really wasn't anything he could have done, because he hadn't realized what was happening or that Xiaotian had plans for PIF before it was too late.

Which, of course, is another thing he blames himself for

The target audience for the Knuckles show isn't Sonic fans. It's made specifically for people who write and read fanfiction about the Wachowski family doing mundane shit like going to the zoo.

A lil Morph drawing before I go to bed. Really liked the shading :)

it's a little fucked up sometimes when i think about the fact that the two biggest female writers in BL also have the most hate in interfandom
