#and it would be great

Sooooo…. How do you think the camel ridge trio would work out in Demon King Red? 👀👀👀

This is a really interesting idea, because the presence of Demon King Red would definitely change a lot about how those three interact with everyone else.. I did make this post about it previously, but I have some further ideas about them now too.

If they don't play much of a role in the events, and we assume that all of them are not trapped in the memory scroll in this version of things, then they certainly could just be background characters who send him supplies and later show up at DKR's wedding. However, if they were to have a larger role, and if we assume that Peng and Elephant are still trapped in the memory scroll, then things get more interesting. In that case, Azure would probably take the place of Macaque.

First of all, Azure Lion would probably show up to meet a freshly coronated Demon King Red. He would have received word that the Demon Bull family's heir is asking old allies for help and came immediately. Obviously he first offers his deepest condolences for the loss of the Demon Bull King, you know they were sworn brothers, and to learn that he was murdered at the hands of Sun Wukong. You know, he always hoped that Sun Wukong would come around and see the error of his ways and perhaps they could all be friendly again, but seeing what he's done this time... well, he can't be left t ohis own devices anymore, he's ruining too many lives. And he can't be killed, so obviously he needs to be controlled.

He manages to win over Red with sweet words of how he completely understands how he feels over the loss of MK. He shares his own story and uses it to relate to his own pain and says that he knows they can both get what they want. All they have to do is work together.

Now, he convinces DKR that instead of revealing himself and this beautiful court he's built up to the rest of the world (and MK), instead what Azure will do is set a trap using the memory scrolls. All they need to do is release that curse when MK and Sun Wukong are together, and then Azure will handle the rest. Once MK and all his little friends are trapped in the scroll and the curse within it defeated, Azure can pull MK out, but leave behind Sun Wukong and all his little friends.

The whole plot of season 4 plays out pretty precisely from there, and only diverges after MK is freed from the scroll. He does not emerge back in Camel Ridge like he does in canon. Nope. Instead, he finds himself in a gold and red throne room and the fire demon who captured and tortured him for six months, the one he thought he had mercifully seen the last of, is there waiting for him. And Azure just hands him right over.

Obviously MK is devastated by this betrayal and extremely confused and hurt (and maybe even glitching into monkey form at this point if we want to keep that fun bit of canon).. Azure does feel a twinge of guilt at seeing how scared MK looks as he's being embraced by Demon King Red, but he only offers excuses and no help. He's sure that MK will grow to love Red again, just as he has hopes that Wukong will once again return his affection once his grand plan is complete.

With Peng and Elephant now free as well, Azure goes to complete that mission. This time he's also aided by the army that Red has promised him for returning his darling MK to him, so that combined with the now tamed curse of the memory scroll, it's an even easier fight up in Heaven to take down the Jade Emperor.

Honestly, everything seems to be going very well for DKR and Azure in this version of things... but there's just one problem.

Azure took somebody's place in this AU. So what's Macaque up to?

Well... he's also got his eye on Sun Wukong and is looking to win him over. Seeing him trapped in that scroll by Azure (his bitter rival for Wukong's affection) is kind of inconvenient.. Although, with the little successor getting kidnapped by the Demon Bull's brat, there may be an opportunity here. Azure is definitely underestimating how angry Wukong will be once he lets him out of that scroll... if Macaque can get to the kid and free him, then surely Wukong will be grateful.

It's so easy to snatch him away. All he has to do is open a up a teeny little shadow portal under MK the second Red stops hugging him and the kid falls right into his lap.

Now he just needs to explain that he's Monkey King's old friend (no NOT like Azure, kid, that guy sucks) and offer to help him save the Monkey King.

If there is a second season maybe Palermo/The Professor will appear

Anon from your lips fingers to Pina, Alvaro Morte and Rodrigo de la Serna's ears. I would love nothing else, not even going to lie.

If it gets renewed, everyone is available and willing AND Pina makes a fantastic heist show like he did with the first season(s) of LCdP it would be amazing.

okay but imagine being a top who is going to be topped for the first time by Angela and it turns out your louder than she is during sex

A while ago I spent some time trying to think if there was an animal theme/motif I could lean into for Cathala. I momentarily settled on salmon, because:

-She's from Darkshore, which I hc/write to be very similar to the Pacific northwest, where salmon have historically been and continue to be vital to native lifeways

-Her family fished for a living and so did she

-Themes of leaving home and eventually returning forever changed (then leaving again, then returning again-)

-Who associates characters with salmon lol no one does that. But it fit fairly well and it felt like it could've been kind of fun to see how I could make that work.

But, ah, with Tarinne's extremely obvious bear motif... it kinda fell apart 💀

I feel like there is a way it could work, if I leaned more into the less literal and the more poetic. Cycles and depending on each other etc etc. But on the surface I feel it would still be very strange to say "oh yeah here's my blorbos they're so so deeply in love you guys it's insane. their animal motifs are x and y which is also an extremely well-established predator/prey relationship in the popular consciousness. just ignore that part of it please that's not the point-"

There isn't really a point to this post I just remembered that thought I had and wanted to put it out there because I do think there's something there........... might just manifest in an entirely different character though but who knows. For now Cathala has no animal motif and it might stay that way. I've sort of just gone the obvious route and leaned into the whole lightning thing. Thunder storms are just as destructive as they are beautiful and rejuvenating, and so on and so forth.

It's 11 PM and I felt like talking themes and motifs ig

Since you guys liked Marcille as Kermit that much, it seems fitting to thank you for my 12k milestone with MORE Kercille. And this time, Miss Falin is also here.

Thank you so much again everybody! MWAH 💗

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity

Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.

But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works

In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far
