i feel like i'm one of the few in this fandom who headcanons that wukong is good at cooking. so, in constellations, he's good at cooking

there was a lot of food gathering and stuff in jttw so i just wanted to incorporate what that would look like over like. 2,800 years and i think wukong would like it. especially with magic because he can make things pretty. and yeah he's lazy and transforms food from his hair but that food always looks baller bc he knows how it should look.

like he can cook. he's just tired. he's old. leave him alone.

EXCEPT for when he's cooking for his pookie 😊💕 then he will bring out ALL the bells and whistles.

macaque can also cook. but not to the extent of wukong. he was dead for too long, and isn't familiar enough with the various appliances yet. Of course that will change with time, but for now, Macaque can make basic meals. Cooking isn't especially a special interest of his, and he often forgets to eat, so...

Bit of a Cosmo dump. I also tried my hand at making an ancient oc :)

"Jesus Christ," Evan muttered to himself. "Okay, who broke the lamp? Be honest, you five."

Kay Rosier-Crouch stood, eyes wide, beside her cousins Luna and Ascella and a broken lamp. Estrella and Cherie Potter-Black stood guiltily behind Kay as though the twins were attempting to hide.

"Honesty is the best policy," Lily tried when no one spoke up. "We won't be mad if you're honest."

"Oh, okay," Cherie said, looking relieved. "All the time?"

"All the time," James agreed, looking at his daughter.

"Uncle Barty taught me the word fuck because I asked him to," Ascella blurted from the corner.

Absolute, dead silence rung throughout the room. Evan knew Pandora had the most pissed off expression and really, really did not want to look.

"Aunt Andromeda is my favorite," Estrella said.

"Last year I snuck onto the Hogwarts Express to see Bianca and lied to you about it, and her dads knew."

Regulus looked like he was trying not to immediately Apparate to his brother's house in a fit of fury at Cherie's words.

"We use your Netflix account," Luna told Evan. "You should really change your password, you know."

"I don't even care who broke the lamp anymore," Pandora said. "I just need a drink."

Regulus stood up, sweeping Cherie into his arms. "Yeah, I'm going with you."

☆Stray of Lyra☆ In Ike's world it is said that one of the 88 constellations sometimes takes a liking to someone, and wishes to feed them one of their stars when in need of help. If this offer is taken, they'll be filled with an undying hunger forever and transform into a beast under moonlight, always craving another star.

Dazai's Star Gazing Card in Mayoi

🧵I love astrology stuff so seeing Dazai's Star Gazing card is interesting! He's the only one talking about stars as directional guides, stories & anecdotes

Btw he's a Gemini!

"It's said that's a constellation of twin brothers" Now I'm imaging Teen Twin Dark Star Gazing

I fell down the rabbit hole and learned quite a bit about the Greek Lore of the Star, Castor and Pollux, the twins (of dif fathers… blame Zeus)

A major theme of this star is the power of brotherly love, duality of life, of mortality and immortality forever intertwined.

Anyway, TL;DR I made Dazai's Star Gazing Card about SKK because I will literally wither and die if I dont make everything about them

Big shout-out to the ocs and lore that depicts physical/appearance changes due to high concentration and uses of magic btw that shit is so cool. Whether your wizard's hair turns blue or straight up grows an extra arm due to the excessive amount of powerful magic they use everyday I eat that shit up. Bonus points if it's a rare/newly discovered condition or if your wizard is just straight up unrecognizable from arc 1 to arc 4. Bonus bonus points if the wizard gains a disability from it and has to learn to adapt to their new condition

So! I was thinking about Rumble and Savage and how to incorporate them into Constellations. And, with the magic system, they'd basically be Macaque's clones created for a specific purpose involving [REDACTED]! He makes Rumble and Savage to monitor [REDACTED], so they have specific jobs they need to do.

He makes them by basically making a modified clone of himself, meaning that they are not direct duplicate clones, but more customized. They are still made from a piece of his spirit, but their abilities were handpicked. They only know how to do what's necessary for the job Macaque has given them.

However! Since they contain a piece of Macaque's spirit, the second they see Wukong, they will cling to him and never want to leave him (because Macaque doesn't want to be separated from Wukong, and so that feeling exists in his spirit. Just like how in Constellations chapter 2, none of Wukong's clones wanted to dig through trash for a lantern piece).

Now, this causes problems, because Rumble and Savage would rather hang out with Wukong all day instead of doing the important and specific job that Macaque has given them. Seeing this problem, Wukong creates his own modified clones to keep Rumble and Savage happy.

So! Cirrus and Stratus (names from clouds, Wukong's favorite) are created. Cirrus has lighter orange fur, and Stratus has darker fur. They are little Wukong clones! Sweet babies. And as soon as they're created, they make a beeline for Rumble and Savage.

Cirrus is paired with Rumble and Stratus is paired with Savage.

However!! Now, Rumble and Savage are kinda sorta doing the job they were made to do...kinda. Now they're making goo-goo eyes at their respective Wukong clone. Too busy flirting to do their jobs, smfh 🙄

The clones can only speak monkey language! Other languages weren't one of the abilities Wukong and Macaque gave them. So they do behave like cubs, but they do not see themselves as cubs of Wukong and Macaque because of their connection via spirit. Wukong sees them as cubs, though. Because he's a silly.

And all the while, Macaque is annoyed that his and Wukong's spirits carry that much love that even the smallest amount in a clone is enough to not want to be separated from the other. Stupid...feelings ruining his plans ONCE AGAIN

You Eat Fire Flowers

So a little know fact about the Fire Flower power-up is you don't gain the powers by touching them like in the Movieverse or Supershowverse, but by eating them.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door establishes this in an interview at the Glitz Pit. "...You shoot fire if you eat a flower? ...That's insane! No one's gonna believe that!" And in Mario Party 9, the Fire Flower Constellation's description further confirms this fact. "A Though it makes a surprisingly tasty snack, it's spicy enough to cause any who eat it to breath fire."

I just wanted to voice yet another Neuvillette thought I had.

So, we don't know 100% if he's the Hydro Dragon, but all the evidence is pointing in that direction. And Genshin does have a distinction between dragons and the Dragon Sovereigns of each element (there only being seven Sovereigns with many vishaps (lesser dragons) all over). However, Enkonomiya lore states that the Hydro Dragon will be reborn as a human because the Hydro Vishaps are too impure/corrupted:

This implies that the human Dragon of Water is also one of the new Sovereigns presently being born.

Okay awesome so Neuvillette is one of the cool, powerful dragons probably maybe. We already kinda knew that. Why am I thinking about it?

Apep is one of few remaining Sovereigns from thousands of years ago. Just to remind you of what she looks like:

She's big. Like. Ah. She's way in the background and our crew is way in the foreground in that image. That means she is absolutely huge and we can't see all of her.

Which yes not every dragon is as huge as her. We have a few skeletons that are the size of islands but Zhongli and Dvalin are significantly smaller. Dvalin is still pretty big but whatever - he's actually specified to be small because he's so young at, uh, 2000 ish years old.

But there are two things I wanna point out. Firstly, this is what Neuvillette's constellation looks like:

Big serpent thing just like Apep. Also similar to Zhongli's dragon form yup.

But my second thing is that Neuvillette is a Hydro Dragon, so water. All of the largest creatures on Earth are sea creatures. You know, blue whale being the biggest.

This creates a couple of opportunities. Perhaps Neuvillette, despite being born in "human form" as the lore states, might be able to transform into his dragon form. But in doing so he'd probably destroy the entirety of Fontaine city. I'm not even sure if the sea/lake of Fontaine is deep enough for him to transform.

On the other hand, if he can't transform into a proper dragon, can you imagine what the other really old peeps would think? Like they met the former Sovereign Hydro Dragon who was, you know, large enough to encompass a country a couple times over. They sense the energy of the new Hydro Dragon and it's just this teeny tiny human. No wonder his name is Neuvillette.

(there's also the possibility that he does have a dragon form, but that he's too young to be all that large (like Dvalin). In this case I would like to imagine Neuvillette has no real bearing on how much he will grow and Zhongli has been quietly hinting that he should enjoy the shallow waters while he can (Neuvillette thinks he's talking about the global warming/Fontaine prophecy)).

And now I'm thinking about Knockout after the events of the tfp epilogue

I'm thinking about what things must be like for someone who defected after the war but before the Great Unification that happens somewhere between rid15 and RBA

General thoughts about what it must be like to rebuild a world from what we saw in the tfp epilogue into what we saw in rid15 (which was just a few years, right? They accomplished all that in just a few years.)

this is a Very Small Detail and a bit of a spoiler for rid15 S4ish but when the Cybertronian council at the time bans a fuck ton of bots from Cybertron (mostly autobots), Knockout is one of them. Meaning, there was a time period where he either was shortly off world or was kicked off of Cybertron because he was now associated with Team Prime.

That, while he was a decepticon for ALL of the war, now he might as well be an autobot.

You know... Thoughts.
