Aw shit they put the horrors of late stage capitalism into my Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 😔

(Mostly) Based on the mouthwashing dev QnA about each character’s favorite Pokémon. Couldn’t get the idea of throwing them into PMD out of my head.

Typical job at the Poke Express Guild:

Some more bonus drawings below

Jimmy secretly wishes he was a mega rayquaza but he’s just a poser who’s obsessed with pikachu’s popularity and position as the mascot. So. A mimikyu.

Daisuke is a zorua because it’s the closest to weregarurumon and I think it matches his vibes. Just a guy who causes a little bit o mischief here n there :)

I did make Daisukes weregarurumon wishes come true (No mega rayquaza for jim)

I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with the background so I threw them into the dungeon. WOE upon ye

EDIT I FORGOT THIS ONE

[bloos-bloo]

Welcome to the circus but make it make SENSE

TOYBOX AU!!! ITS REAL!! >:D

What is the ToyBox AU? ToyBox is a circus AU that’s HEAVILY inspired by Digital Circus, Circus Monster, and Hypno’s lullaby! I highly suggest looking into those things if you’re not aware of them-

THIS IS YOUR WARNING BTW- THERE ARE MENTIONS OF ABUSE AND TORTURE

---

The circus is held in the lands of the Old Faith every few years, it used to be a yearly event. But after the new ownership- the circus suffered greatly. There are less guests every year- it's constantly losing money, there's hardly any performers. So, how is this issue fixed?

Easy. :)

Starting off with the Ring Master! The Jester! Silly little guy! Dirty kidnapper

Emery’s the beloved Jester in the circus. She makes sure everything’s in order before the next show. She’s been doing this for a very long time, seeing many guests come in and out… but what caught her attention was a certain black cat.

She had to have him- he always smiled and laughed at her performance- she needed him.

PATHETIC WET CAT IN QUESTION-

Narinder was a regular at the circus- (regular meaning biyearly-) It was his favorite past time to do with his siblings. But- what was creepy was the way the jester would stare at him…

Narinder doesn’t remember how he was recruited, but he’s always near Emery.. why? He can’t even tell you- something about it makes it hard to think of for long periods of time

Leshy’a such a little guy in this AU!

(Emery was scared of how tall he was- so why not take that away! Seeing him small was so funny!) His hands act like his eyes, cause- nobody knows where his eyes are. Not even him- Plus the snake-like creatures are very smart, they keep him out of trouble.

It’s hard to see during routine since his only way of vision is blurry He tries to ignore the way Emery stares at him when he gets too close to Narinder... Why does Narinder look so scared anyway? Is there something going on? Where is the exit? Oh- his act is up next.

Heket was hard to deal with. She’s loud- she has muscle- and she looked like she was going to kill Emery-

It was easy to make her stand down though, just a few quick words and string! Nothing too crazy. Heket usually keeps her distance from Emery, but with her getting closer to Narinder and always sticking with Leshy. She had to protect him in some way or another and keep Shamura preoccupied…

Emery made her a greeter so she wouldn't interact with her siblings (and have the guest ignore her pleas)

Noel’s Lament looking ass-

Kallamar was the hardest to convert- still is the same. They’re always crying about something, leaving him with a ton of conflicted emotions. She’s an acrobat and silk aerialist, but with her constantly covered in needles- it makes her job a bit harder.

Emery hates Kal- for some reason, they never share a conversation or a moment alone. She’s always avoided him- was he aware…? He must be. He cries about his old life every night...

Emery did have to pin his ears back after he overheard a lot of stuff though…

LITTLE BABYYYY- WAHHHH-

Shamura’s mind is very much broken in this AU- except it was Emery fault. They knew too much! She had to!

..Right?

Anyways- Shamura is very aware of what’s going on. They can see through Emery just a bit- but it’s hard to do anything when she takes their key, or even beat them. The cracks on their face represent each beating- Emery hates Shamura, but they can’t do anything about them besides make it harder for them to live around the grounds-

ANYWAYS- a very basic rundown of ToyBox! :D I have a few other doodles planned for this AU- and I’m so excited to actually write it- YIPPEEEE. There's nothing sinister going on here!! :D Happy fun time little AU!!

[vonlipvig]

I started playing Not For Broadcast, a game that manages to both be a worrying dystopia where human rights can and will be violated, AND a wonderful utopia where the rich actually face consequences… As someone from the UK I feel I am looking at both a brighter and darker future for my country and I don’t know how I feel about that! It is also (as someone who grew up during the era) very nostalgic. These adverts, this title sequence, I feel as if I have seen these before… a small me is dispassionately watching this shitty bullying play at school… at home she turns on top of the pops to see this exact music video… I had to go on the IMDB page for some of these actors to work out where I’ve seen them before.

I have just got up to the first day of lockdown, in what I am pretty sure is an unconscious electric shock dream. I’m enjoying myself a lot so far though my god it’s stressful having a job and a family to support. I think my wife is leaving me and taking our daughter with her, WHICH IS A BIT MUCH CONSIDERING I PLAYED HOOKIE FROM WORK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP! And I’m SORRY you didn’t get to go on holiday daughter but we’re in CRUSHING DEBT! I TREAT OUR SON WITH COMPASSION BECAUSE HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO ASKED ME TO DO SOMETHING I CAN ACTUALLY GIVE! I’M NOT RISKING OUR NECKS FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR BROTHERS TRUST FUND! AND I CAN’T MAGIC US UP MONEY BECAUSE I��M TERRIBLE AT MY JOB!!! I’M TRYING VERY HARD FAMILY!!! *sob*

Anyway I’m having fun, and getting to know the characters! I think Jeremy is my favourite at the moment. I can appreciate a character desperately struggling for both command and a sense of dignity on a sinking ship. If you look to your right you’ll see Megan has constructed herself a lifeboat and is doing just fine. She’s definitely going to be eating your lunch in a few years Jeremy… ah well!

YIPPEEEE WE GOT ANOTHER ONE, FOLKS! 📺

i will reserve most of my plot-specific comments for obvious reasons, but yeah, i do really love the angle they took with advance being a pretty popular progressive party (like, i would have voted for them, i'm fairly sure most of us would have voted for them). it definitely makes what's going to happen a lot more interesting and less black and white...

OOH the lockdown, one of my fave broadcasts, no doubt! it was, as you can guess, very much a product of the 2020 lockdown and the inability of getting together to film, and to me one of the best examples of art that used the situation to their advantage, i'm really so fond of it ♡ and also YEAH IT'S INSANE. i can't wait for you to discover all the insane secrets and possibilities within it...

again, shutting the fuck up regarding all your family choices here, but 👀 very amused, very amused, keep going!

and yeah, jeremy is such an amazing character. my fave's megan, but everyone in this game is so stellar, it's just fantastic.

[ladybrainrot]

oh! anything! the culture, food, fun stories and legends, the language, anything!

(and maybe how you see the hws character?)

okay okay okay i love talking about wales. so my headcanons for him are: - is he is 100% the eldest of all the UK bros - also i don't know what the fuck hima was thinking giving him blonde hair. that man has brown hair i DONT CARE - when ever england says anything out of pocket wales points at him and shouts "SAIS" (it literally means "English" but we use it in a derogatory way towards ignorant English people lmao) - he gets so BEYOND pissed when people refer to england and the United Kingdom or Britain - watches the rugby religiously with new zeland - big welsh independence supporter and has a Cofiwch Dryweryn key chain.

thats enough headcanons for now so let me give you a little history lesson about the term "Cofiwch Dryweryn". it translates to "remember tryweryn" which was a valley in north wales that was purposefully flooded by the English government in order to make a dam for English water consumption. This valley contained a town, people had to evacuate and that town, it is now completely underwater. there have been so many drowned villages because of the English government's lack of concern for the welsh people. although we do have our own government we don't get a lot of say and our welsh laws have to go through the English parliament first.

and wales himself is just filled to the brim with rage but he's chill with it you know

YIPPEEEE

anyway sorry for the long sorry and grammar mistakes. i love talking about wales hehehehhe THANK YOU ANON

[catinfroghat]

Okay to me I think there's 2 options for Kate Middleton and I don't think they're necessarily mutually exclusive:

1. She had surgery with complications and isn't deemed ready for photos or public appearances yet (This is the official story and tbh it's plausible other than a few weird details)

2. Her marriage with William is on the rocks and the royal family are strategising how to handle it. Evidence = missing wedding ring on only photo of her, William has been known to have a mistress who is one of Kate's friends, most damning evidence to me is there have been a lot of positive articles about his alleged mistress in the press recently and it wouldn't be surprising if these were royal PR to prepare for an official announcement.

I think the stress from being slowly shifted out of the family and being cheated on could have made Kate's health conditions worse? For example a mental health condition like anorexia which has been speculated before. Or if she has ended up with a stoma bag from colon surgery that could be considered too taboo for the royal family to allow her to be seen with it (Which shouldn't be the case and is really sad I've known people sacrifice their health to avoid having a stoma bag just because they're afraid of people judging them the stigma is awful).

Anyway I think the 2nd option is the most fun because they will not survive another Diana situation can you imagine how much goodwill they will lose from the people who still respect them... The family will be less popular than ever yippeeee!!!

Starting (Over?)

First off, Yippeeee.. Here's the First Post!!

It's 2024 and like the previous years, a lot of what I initially planned for myself did not push through. I started the year with a bunch of goals and stuff that I thought I was gonna be able to get up and going and start making progress with throughout the year, but..

Life happens. About around late February or March, I could already feel my mental health start to decline again little by little; the most notable sign for me is usually the intense time blindness and when the days start melting together and I can't tell how much time has passed anymore. Another thing would be the intense bedrot, where if I wasn't working or doing something around the house, I would just spend all my free time in bed or asleep. I didn't even want to do things like draw or play games anymore. It got worse by April where it hit the hardest and I had a bad relapse that took some time to recover from.

Then around the last week of April, I decided: I'm Tired. I'm tired of being stuck in bed feeling sad and miserable. I'm tired of being stuck where I am because of my fear of doing things because I'm already thinking of the many ways it could fail and go south.

So, what did I do? I took the first few steps out of my comfort zone: I started building a new me; making a new persona and actually write down things that I wanted to do and planned them out. I was trying to envision and dream about things I was looking forward to doing again. I made new accounts, I looked for software alternatives that were easily accessible for me and my current setup and I did a lot of research for things I didn't know how to do yet.

And now voila! ✨

Here's one of the few things I decided to finally do: Create a blog where I could document and talk about things that I learn on this (sort of) new journey or just yap about.

I'm not new to social media or the internet, I've been through those things for years at this point, but the thing that'll be new(ish?) for me is to actually document and post about things. See, I have a tendency to save or make stuff, but I never really share them with anyone but myself and a few close friends. I did it a while back around pandemic but then I felt too pressured to continue so I deleted a bunch of things from a lot of my socials.

No more of that. ❌

I was always thinking "eh, this isn't really worth posting anyway.." so I never posted anything. My IRL accounts are pretty much empty except for shared content from other people, never my own.

So, here's to starting over and trying again. ✨

I have a vague idea of the things I want to happen, and I'm doing my best right now planning everything out despite all the roadblocks!

I'm both really excited and really nervous but I'll do my best to have fun on this journey. ❣️

YIPPEEEE SCOUT HEADCANONS!

first actual post that isnt an introduction yippeeee! anyways im just going to dump all my scout headcanons here

(also lemme know if you want more hcs for the other mercs, ive got plenty)

(unless specified, these are all red scout)

bisexual, transmasc he/they

scout has one of spy's dead ringers, invis watches, and disguise kits. spy, somehow, still has no idea.

scout always wears bandages or gloves to hide scars on his arms

(red) scout used to hang out with blu team when he was little because his ma was part of blu. after she got injured and had to leave, he asked if he could be put on a waiting list to continue her work. he eventually got moved to red.

blu scout and red scout are brothers (probably canon ngl)

scout was mistaken for amab when he was born. when he was a bit older he tried living as a girl but just didn't feel right, so he continued going by his old name (jeremy) and as a man.

he still wears a binder and forgets to take it off. a lot.

scout knows how to do fancy makeup, and sometimes does the other merc's makeup either for fun or when they go hang out or something.

scout walks silent subconsciously and accidentally sneaks up on his team a lot.

scout is the guy that's really confident when flirting, but if he likes the person in question he stutters and fumbles over his words a lot. he's a nervous wreck.

adhd and autism, mostly adhd! need i say more come on its basically canon

he'll never admit it outloud, but he sees all of his team as family. one big, dysfunctional, yet loving family.

ms. pauling and scout are childhood friends. they lost contact after pauling had to move away, so they were overjoyed when they got to meet eachother again!

(more of a spy and scout hc but) spy's hair used to be brown like scout's when he was younger and went black as he aged. scout is going through the same thing; he has black streaks in his hair.

goth scout goth scout goth scout goth scout goth scout goth scout goth scout goth scout goth scou

demo and scout are best friends! the entire team agrees that they should NEVER be left in a room together unsupervised under any circumstances, they *will* blow something up.

infodumps to medic alot, like medic will be working on something and have scout sitting there infodumping. hes great background noise /lh

scout and sniper quietly chill together alot. they just sit there, on their phones, enjoying eachothers company. its very sweet actually

ok yeah.. thas it... feel free to adopt any of these idm <3

AAAAAAA AAAAAAA AAAAAAA

Watching Deadpool and Wolverine making me fall in love with Logan again. I will always fall in love with Logan because his story gets me every time. Also Hugh Jackman is a great actor. Also I love him.

Okay. ok ok ok. So, I'm glad I watched every X-men movie (aside from Logan) before this, and I'm glad I watched it with my movie buff dad. I got all the extra context required.

Oh my god. I will get on with it. I went into this movie as blind as you can while seeing some fanart and reading the movie description.

Final warning before I get into it for real. There shall be spoilers but in a really messy way because this is all stream of thought writing.

The timeline mixing at the beginning was confusing. I disliked midlife crisis Deadpool. I prefer the choreographed fights compared to the CGI-heavy ones (which there seemed to be more of in this movie), but I love Logan so I can't be mad. Speaking of which, DEAR GOD UUGHHHH. Seeing the variants wasn't too big of a deal for me. I LOVE rock-bottom Logan. I LOVED seeing his arc. I am a SUCKER for it. He's different from the previous Logan because he's a guilt-ridden depressed and more of an ass for that, but dear god I love the character I love the arc and I love him. I did not care for him being shirtless. The fights and banter between him and Deadpool were really fun though! OUGHHGHHGHGHGHG!!!! I didn't care for Peter. I think Cassandra was a boring antagonist, too "I'm chaotic and childish and evil" for my taste. I've seen that archetype done in a more interesting way, plus she kept reminding me of the Ancient One / old Sorcerer Supreme. Laura and Blade and Gambit and everyone else were so fucking cool, though I was a bit hesitant towards the Gambit actor. I wish the subtitles actually captured his fucking dialogue. Seeing Toad and Mephisto was fun. I like "power of two" saving the world scene. Very friendship is magic of them. I hope the Paradox fucker loses his name and his job because such a cool name should not have been wasted on him. I was so fucking excited for Logan pulling on the mask!!!!!! SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!! I wish his beard was more accurate though, since the mask covers his beard in other iterations. I didn't care about him going topless, though it was obviously a joke in the way they did it. Put a damn shirt on. AND WHEN HE DID AT THE END!!! Dogpool was cute also. Anyways THE ENDING!!! YIPPEEE!!!! EVERYONE HAPPY AND AT PEACE AND YAYAYAYAYAY!!! DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE MADE A CANON EVENT AND SAVED THE TIMELINE AND LOGAN FOUND A NEW HOME AND EVERYONE ELSE DID TOO AND THE RELATIONSHIP WAS SAVED AND YIPPEEEE YIPPEEEE YIPPEEE!!!! Also I love that the Captain America actor got to play something else again. I've only known him as Cap and I bet he had a lot of fun playing something else again for a change. Then again, I don't know what else he's in. I don't even know the actor's name.

YIPPEE YIPPEE I WAS IRL KICKING MY FEET AND GIGGLING FOR MINUTES AFTER THE MOVIE ENDED IN JOY!!!! (mostly because Logan being happy after finding a new found family and being domestic brings me so much fucking joy).

Okay I'm done. This was disorganized and might not make any sense but who cares. Initial thoughts yahooo!!! I am going to go to bed kicking my feet and giggling about Logan again. Goodnight. :3

Artsy's 19th Birthday

YIPPEEEE

Hi hi hellooo

It's been a year of adulthood for me. My review so far: less school stress would've been fine. 3☆

☆☆☆

Anyway, I had a lot of fun today! Hung out with my friends a lot, and enjoyed some delicious meals. I'm so glad today's a weekend, so I didn’t have to endure school.

I'm grateful for my growth this year. I've grown more confident and productive I'd say. Maybe it's just baby-steps, but it was something. I'm also grateful for the new friends I've made, offline and online. So far, I am thriving as an adult :D

(Still scared of college tho but I'll be fine)

☆☆☆

Now for the Birthday tradition. It happened last year and we're continuing it today.

That's right folks, it is:

Artsy's 19 Birthday Spankings

Happy Birthday to me, let me take on the worst >:]

[menaceoffandoms]

Okee okee okee SO

Initial thoughts, since I've literally just finished watching:

The animation change is jarring but it looks a lot better in motion, I still really miss flying bark tho

The story seems a bit rushed and it falls a little short because of it I feel. This is the first time we've not had a special and it definitely would have made the pacing better, but it's still really good dispite that!

Now to the SPOILER stuff yippeeee

Episode one is perfect. It's great seeing how MK is still effected by all the trauma he experienced and how his attempts to not think about things that scare him aren't working anymore. I love seeing how far he's come in his training with Wukong, I love that Macaque is around and trying to help, I love that Pigsy is there to take care of MK at the end. It's all a wonderful start and having all our Monkies sent to Diyu at the end is a great way to set up the next part of the plot.

I think episode two is a lot weaker, I don't think the 10 Kings have any reason to blame Wukong, Macaque or MK for what happend with Azure, but I'm blaming all that on Snake guy. Also, I'm gonna keep calling him snake guy cause I don't remember his name. I'm sorry.

Anyway, I think snake guy could have been built up here more and Nezha's dad isn't a great antagonist, there's just not a lot there, but Wukong getting leashed and the jail break scene are very fun I do enjoy. Having Macaque sacrifice himself here is also great, but I wish he got more screen time.

The whole stuff with Nuwa is cool and we're used to different legends being thrown at us in one way or another, but it all felt a little fast? Plus with the amount of stones it really makes it feel rushed. You can tell things are going fast when the characters have to explain to each other what's happen when the viewer already kinda knows, and that's exactly what happens in the next episode.

Ngl kinda forgot about episode three for a min there... Wukong telling MK to find his own way ties in great with the theme of the season, reinforces what Macaque taught him, and overall is pretty fun. Having us see the ending of the season in episode three is interesting, I kinda wish MK had been the only one to see it tho, Wukong knowing doesn't do much.

I love having a Sandy and MK episode, the kid needs so much therapy, but I also would have rather MK figure his shit out with Sandy's and then get the next stone, rather than being forced to by the stones guardian. Fuck it, imagine if the meditation made him lose control of his monkie form and attack Sandy? Have the two fight whilst MK dose a battle of the mind. But anyway, what we did get was good, I do like the conversation he has with himself a lot. Poor Sandy tho.

The dragon fruit episode! It's cute and I always love seeing Red Son, he also needs more screen time, but I don't really get what he's doing? Or why... I am happy they addressed the fire tho! I kinda assumed after the Master said she had "once welded" the fire that it ment they'd sealed it in the rings again between seasons, but apparently not? Red is trying to remake the fire cause he doesn't understand where it went, meanwhile Mei's learned to fully control the fire to the point she can't even tell its there anymore... feels a bit cheap if I'm honest.

I do love Mei's insecurity here, seeing all her friends get this crazy power where in the start she was by far the strongest is quite a lot. Never getting a star from the Master obviously effected her a lot, but I'm pretty sure she would have gotten one if he saw her contribution to MKs plan. I thought that was the whole point of that scene tbh.

I relise Tang and Pigsy are also up to stuff, Pigsy being worried about MK is sweet and Tang supporting him is cute but it doesn't add much really? Both groups figure out where to go next so it's kinda redundant, especially when we don't see what Wukong is up to at all.

Also, Mei still having the fire makes all her insecurities a bit redundant cause now it's like... she's had the fire a full season and didn't relise she was using it. She could end the world at any moment and she's just okay with that now and never struggles... I'm sorry but girly needs more development right this second.

I know a good bit of JTTW but nothing about Nuwa or her myths, or the stones and that. I saw one theory video about them after the trailer was leaked so take some of this with a grain of salt. I don't know why the tiger and dragon guardians are together, their might be a mythology reason but I don't know it, and it makes their stones feel anticlimactic and rushed. Especially when most of the episode is spent in a market being chased by guards. I mean, I'm happy they didn't drop that plot point but again, its all very rushed.

I also don't know a lot about Li jing (I think that's Nezha's dad's name idk ahh) other than he had a pagoda. Keeping the Jade emporers power inside your demon prison is either really smart or really really dumb. What's dumber is MK and the gang letting themselves be sucked into it. Like, just make it so they can't escape and have MK stop trying first.

The pagoda is kinda weak, I almost wish they all started separated and then got caught by the 100 eyed demon trying to get to the top, make one of the inmates say that theirs an exist up there that no one's ever managed to reach idk. Anyway, I love Macaque saving Wukong and I've MK being forced through his memories buttttt he's getting two battles of the mind in one season and its just the same thing being hammered home again and again.

MK also gets a lot of powers this season, stuff even Wukong seems surprised about, and it feels very unearned. Maybe it's just the rushedness of it but idk, but he effortlessly breaks through the seal holding the Jade emporers power and it just dosnt sit right. With MKs whole doing things himself arc I'd have love it if Wukong and Macaque stepped up to help him.

Also, the Jade emporers power is just gone now? He was like, a guardian of the last stone and that's where his power came from I think, and the world needs all its guardians or it'll fall apart, but no one can replace a guardian so... is his power just the stone or did MK take it, cause that's what it looked like for a hot second. I don't think that's what they were going for tho.

Li jing's turn around is way too quick, honestly he did so little he's really forgettable, and Snake guys introduction is lackluster. Again, he should have been built up more somehow. His explanation of what was going on was weak and didn't really mean much, that story he told is one I've heard before and whilst it's a great metaphor it's also very confusing. I'd have rather he just say he was a being of chaos like MK from outside the world.

I love how he woke MK up earlier so he could live and make bonds and have a choice, it's something he was never ment to have and it's exactly why snake guy wanted him to have it. No matter what MK choose he'd win, getting to return to chaos either way, but even still MK feels like he has no choice.

MK would do anything for his friends, he would never let them die, so that's why he has no choice. Not because Nuwa planed his destiny, but because he wouldn't even dream of letting those he love die.

Macaque powers flaring up and his interactions with snake guy are another reason they both needed more screen time and build up. Something is going on with Macaque and I wanna know what, I bet its going to be important next seasons, but I guess we just have to wait huh.

I love how Macaque refuses to let MK sacrifice himself. The moment he relises his shadows can over power the chaos he dose everything he can to break the others free and save the kid. He's really come a long way and even if he won't admit it, he cares about everyone.

You know what he should admit tho? THAT HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT MK AND WUKONG THIS WHOLE TIME! They are far too similar to eachother. They both tried to sacrifice themselves to save the people they care about and honestly, I wouldn't have been that mad if Wukong successed. Really glad he didn't tho.

Instead, MK uses the circlet on Wukong and it is heartbreaking. He Sacrifices himself whilst everyone else yells at snake guy, and honestly it's not even his fault. He's giving MK more freedom than Nuwa intended, he's just a bit of a prick. He better come back tho, Matthew Mercer did amazing as his voice. My god.

Anyway, I like MKs conversation with Nuwa, his defiance against her attitude and how he takes the stones back. I'm not sure if I saw it right but did the purple stone blow up as he fell? I thought it did but I kinda lost count with everything else happening.

Moving on, everyone gathers round to enjoy the end of the world and snake guy had to butt in, but it makes MK relise that the power of friendship still exists. The stones are shattered and split between every creature on the planet. The stones are too powerful for one person to hold but every single perons in existence? Not that hard anymore.

We send snake guy back to chaos, head back home to see how everyone is magic now, cry about how MK almost fucking killed himself and celebrate another avoided apocalypse YIPPEE! Oh and then we see the chaos in the staff and now Macaque has it too... not foreboding at all nope.

Overall it just seems very rushed and underdeveloped, but the humers still great and the characters care about eachother so much! Please don't hate me but I think it's pretty mid, give it a 40 min special for the last 2 episodes and lengthen some of the other plot points and it'd be perfect, but I guess things are just weird cause their transitioning.

With pressure from Lego and the writting team leanring to work with a new animation studio, not to mention that studio having to learn the LMK art style and live up to the standards of the previous seasons, its not an easy thing to balance.

I almost wish this season was another calm before the storm, you know? Focus it on MK leanring his monkie form instead, have everything fall apart in the last episode and him relise they have to collect the stones. End it on that and save the rest for season 6.

I've got a very narrative focused brain which is why I've got all these ideas of what I would have done, but I'm not a writer and what I think doesn't really mean much. Giving how amazing the past seasons have been tho I wanna say this one was just a blip on the radar.

That's not to say its not good! This is a kids cartoon and we're already getting a lot more than I expected when I first started watching the show, which was literally last month I won't lie, but it's definitely not as good as season 4 to me. Nothing beats Pitiful creatures or the Emperor rath. But still I'm super excited to see where they go from here!

I've got some theories. Chaos is obviously leaking into the world somehow, or maybe Snake guy did something when he sent MK back? Either way somethings up with the staff and somethings up with Macaque.

Giving how little we know about why Wukong killed Macaque, and the little we did see from that flash back, I think most people have guessed Macaque wasn't in control of himself. With snake guy asking where Macaque got his powers from and how confused that makes him, there's probably more going on than mets the eye.

Snake guy also mentions "he" is winning. Mayhaps theirs a God of chaos or something, an opposite to Nuwa that we don't know about yet, that is now on its way to cause problems. Maybe it's a forth mystic monkie, given that there's supposed to he 4 of them as mentioned in JTTW, but we only ever met two of them in that story I think. I feel like a fourth has to show up at somepoint, but I don't really care if they do or not. My bets on a God or something.

Whatever that something is, I think Macaque is tied to it, just like MK was tied to Nuwa. It would make sense with the weird stuff happening with his powers. But honestly, if that's the case then it begs the question where the fuck did Wukong come from? He almost ended the cycle thousands of years early by fighting the Jade emperor, he too is a harbinger of chaos...

Wukong made himself that, tho. He started with a lot of power sure but he went out of his way to learn a lot of it too... If MK was made for a purpose by Nuwa and I'm right about Macaque being linked to this mystery chaos entity, then what's up with Wukong?

My best bet for season 6 is were gonna find out what happend between Macaque and Wukong finally, and that Macaque will be our main villan. Or, at the very least a puppet for whoever snake guy was talking about. Wukong and MK and everyone will have to find a way to save Macaque from this new power, and they'll succeed but not before "he" returns.

I also feel like this new season is perfect for a sorta soft reset. Magic is now a lot more common in the world, now being accessible to any mortal, and I'd like to see that explored more. I don't think we'll be going back to the episodic structure we've had before, and I don't mind that, but a new balance needs to be made. Either way I'm excited for more Macaque cause he's probably my favourite character tehe
