#also go dancing king go!

[lotusloong]

Nothing and no one save Sun Wukong himself could convince me the Monkey King doesn't love dancing. Especially Netflix Monkey King, but any of them I could see acting like this.

Any kind of party with lively music you bet your ass he's on the floor shaking it like no ones business. When he's young and living with his monkey's on Mount Huaguo you could argue it wasn't dancing so much as...throwing yourself around in a wild manner, laughing and giggling the whole time, Wukong among them, very drunk.

Then when he entered the world of man he learned what "proper" dancing was. Specific steps to follow to make a specific pattern, with or without a partner. Some were more eye catching and fun looking to him than others, but one thing for certain was that the Monkey King wanted to learn everything.

On his way across two continents, looking for his first immortal to teach him the secrets of immortality, he would stop and ask the people he saw to teach him the steps, and he would practice while crossing the seas and climbing the mountain ranges.

Even trapped under the weight of Five Elements Mountain he would hum songs to distract himself, tapping his fingers and moving what parts of himself he could to mimic the dances he remembered so fondly.

When he's finally free, he spends nights with his fellow disciples, showing them the fascinating (if a little out of style) dances he learned. Imagine his surprise when Bajie mumbles how he remembers one from his days in the Celestial Realm, probably very out of practice after so many centuries. Wukong shocks him by getting close to his face, practically demanding the pig yaoguai show him the steps he remembers. Wujing recalls a far off memory from when he was little, a dance his parents used to perform that Wukong all but drags him to his feet to recreate. Tang Sanzang laughs at their fun, saying he had never spent much time learning the art. Wukong is understandably appalled by this, begging his Master to stand and dance with him just once, he promises it'll be fun! The monk can't refuse such a happy grin.

And it's now, with your hand in his, arm around your waist, that he thanks the universe for giving him so many opportunities to learn. Your own dancing skill level doesn't matter, he's an amazing lead, taking you around and around the campfire as his fellow disciples and Master clap and laugh to the music one of Wukong's clones is playing. You're smiling and giggling as you go, the fire dancing across your features in a hypnotizing way the Monkey King will commit to memory.

"Your hand in mine, and-" He hums softly, his voice warm and breathy where he whispers it in your ear, unheard by the others of your group. "I could never choose to love another..." He pulls away, meeting your gaze with his golden one, smile soft and secretive. He's trusting you to not make a big deal of his feelings, to keep your hand in his and spin around and around for the rest of the night until you can't move another muscle.

So you do so, pulling him closer even as Bajie gives a loud "WHOOP!" from behind you, resting your head on his chest and following him into another pattern of steps.

And if you whisper those same words back to him later in the dark of the night...well, the only witness would be the full moon, it's heavenly glow blessing your first kiss.

"rhaenys could have ended the war by dracarysing all the greens right there" yes because a distant relation to the throne deciding to barbecue an anointed and publicly positively hailed king and his entire family who is well loved within the city and in multiple other parts of the country for the sake of the succession of a far-away princess no one was ever on board with who hasn't been seen by the populace in literal years, her psycho husband, her three obvious bastards, and two toddlers from the psycho husband would go over super well with westeros and especially in king's landing where scores of the still-cheering population were killed for no reason by that same dragon who would do the barbecuing, because when targaryens act unilaterally without thinking of how the people would react there's never any problem, which is why the storming of the dragonpit and robert's rebellion were actually just collective delusions dreamed up by readers who hate rhaenyra and not key parts of the story and house targaryen's history that directly contributed to their demise and are intrinsic to the plot

truly team black stans are made up of only the most genius and media literate amongst us

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind. And this is one: I'm going to tell it.

I do think all of the adults had some part to play in creating the Dance but if I had to break it down to who had the most power to prevent it it would be Jaehaerys up to and including the Great Council, Viserys up until the moment Aegon is born and Otto from then on.

Needs to be studied how fans of this game take any benign criticism as a personal attack if you say a cover flopped or a costume is bad they act like you’ve killed their entire family in front of them

Oh god, these are so random actually! But I'd say that I'm pretty happy with them, even though randomizing "Master of the house" out of all Les mis songs and aaaaaall the versions of them is... well... I don't even like this song that much.

I am however happy that "Tonight I Feel Like Kafka" found its way onto the list as it is one of my favourite songs ever!

Aannnnddd we also have a competitor from Poland - Lordofon!!
