Why... Why does Megapolis have so many demons?

Plot convenience probably, but this is something I've been thinking about :')))) has anyone actually asked this question before? I have no idea! But here's my take on it:

The thing is, when you really think about it, there are a lot of notable demons in the city of LMK. Like of course, you have Demon Bull King, who was trapped inside the mountain Megapolis is built on and around for 500 years.

But then you have Lady Bone Demon, who was trapped in a tomb, buried under the same mountain DBK was trapped in. And when you realise that the Demon Bull Family's lair was built in the very place the staff used to be, Wukong's staff is pretty close to where LBD had been laid to rest.

Which, is already strange enough as it is. Because Wukong should have known (or maybe he forgot) that LBD was within the vicinity before popping out a nearby mountain and squishing DBK with it. It's actually weird to think, somewhere during that battle between Wukong and DBK, LBD was just... There, chilling in her tomb. She probably didn't appreciate the noise and her new neighbour.

Actually, I have an idea now: Somebody needs to make a (crack) fic where LBD and DBK are like cranky roommates while trapped inside the mountain. Has anyone done this yet? Any takers? No? Do I have to do it myself?

Anyways, the Spider Queen is here too. And so is her ruined kingdom (which is proof that she actually has a connection to the land Megapolis is built on, and so she's not just some wayward demon like a certain pair of gold and silver demons). Again, within the vicinity, very close to the mountain. But I'm willing to bet that Wukong defeated her and destroyed her underground kingdom before he imprisoned DBK. He probably thought the Spider Queen would have moved away after being defeated. Or maybe she actually did move away, but then came back? Either way, her kingdom remained in ruins.

And then you have Jin and Yin. Who are, themselves. And even though we've seen them in other places like the Lantern City, and the place that festive town in season 5 (so cool that the show actually brought in Jin and Yin's roles and designs as DJs from the 5th Anniversary Lego set), but it's clear that their base of operations is Megapolis (maybe because they just want to fight MK?).

And I can't believe I almost forgot, but Macaque is here too. Honestly I'm willing to assume he only came to Megapolis because of MK and, probably taking great interest in how the kid uses Wukong's golden staff. But the dude has a dojo. He- he owns a property. Or maybe I'm jumping to conclusions! Maybe the guy just broke into an abandoned dojo (or one that was actually technically still owned by someone) and claimed it as his own.

And then you have these guys. Whoever they are:

And then ALL OF THESE GUYS (Jin and Yin are there but we aren't talking about them):

I might have missed some demons that live in Megapolis, since this is all that I remember. But you guys get the point, right?

So sure. Plot convenience. All of them can be explained by plot convenience. MK can't be running around outside the city until Season 3, because his adventures needed to be focused within Megapolis. Sure, Spider Queen needs demons to power up her mech and so therefore there needs to be some random demons that get caught in her webs. Sure.

But I really do wonder if there could be at least some sort of logical explanation for it. Because there is no way all the other cities in China have this many demons and this many problems (unless, all of the trouble making demons just ended up in Megapolis and, the rest of the world's demons are just really chill and, don't try to take over populations).

So, well. I think about Wukong's staff. The one that trapped DBK.

Maybe... Within the 500 years the staff had stayed there, it had practically become some sort of power beacon that herded in demons? It's a powerful staff, and maybe normal mortals might not be able to feel it, but demons probably could. It's not like any of the demons know why they decided to come (or return) to Megapolis (or the quaint village it once was), but they were drawn to it anyway. Obviously this isn't the best explanation, but it would be cool if, the golden staff caused the series of events within LMK to unfold in more ways than one.

Idk guys, what do you think :DDD???

Just curious, will you ever draw megop?

I can see why its the most popular ship, if I had just gotten into transformers now I think I would have been a big fan, there’s so much good fan content for them and I can’t deny their relationship is pretty gay, but my mind is consumed with other robot thoughts ya know? Sides, you guys don’t need me, there’s plenty of talented megop artists out there haha!

I have drawn a stupid joke with them once before, maybe I'll redraw that but more better??

[princeszoboszlai]

what was the turning point of dom becoming your fav?

Anon, this answer is actually so hard you don't even know 😭

So I gotta start this off by saying Roberto Firmino was my first really big Liverpool fav. You could throw Daniel Sturridge in the mix, but I started following Liverpool in the 14/15 season, so you never really saw him tbh (Sidenote: A DECADE of Liverpool?? With Brendan Rodgers????? I deserve financial compensation)

So what I loved about Bobby was just straight up his energy, his flair (do you remember those no look goals??) and the absolute love and respect he had for Liverpool. He made Liverpool seem like THE club, even when he became the best False 9 around, he would always say he'd do it for Liverpool only. I still watch old matches where he was the star of the show because I miss the absolute magic he'd have and how he laid it all out on the pitch. LFCTV coming in clutch with the 10 year archive.

So when he left?? I literally didn't know what to do with myself. Obviously, it was still Liverpool forever, but the squad looked a little less familiar. And according to some, Szoboszlai was supposed to be something of a Firmino replacement. I wasnt fucking having it though, I'll be so real lmao I was so big on Firmino being irreplaceable and how we should have kept him as a squad player (I STILL think this, sign Bobby back!!). I wasn't Dominik's WORST critic, but I wasn't as enthusiastic about him as I am now. I'd be okay if he had a good match, but confused on why we'll keep him when he was doing similar stuff to Minamino in Szobo's first season, and Minamino is now long gone. (#JusticeforMinamino)

So I'll be real, I don't know what switched in my head. I think it was probably the Carabao Cup ironically, from last year, when he ran down even while injured to celebrate. It felt like Dominik loved the club just as much as I did, if not more. Or how he's genuinely just running more than ever before and showing just what we missed when it came to a hardworking midfield. Or the fact that we have a great 8 again!! (No offense to Kieta fans, pls) Him being handsome doesn't hurt in the SLIGHTEST, but I love a guy that could be a Liverpool captain in the future and if not, a good shout for a hardworking, impactful legend.

as i get closer to finishing this playthrough, i once again find myself locked in the dilemma of "the trick solas ending is sick as hell and very in character for lydia" vs. "i can't do any other ending for solas besides the mythal one bc i feel so bad for him and I wanna see my inky" 🫠

[voxmilia]

I just wanna say I really disliked how heated everyone got last night because even though everyone's feelings are valid, things started to get vitriolic and I never ever condone harassing the cast and crew

And I'm so happy today everyone seems to have taken a deep breath and decided to spread love and positivity instead

I kiss you all, it's all love now

[badlydrawndedkidz]

hello there! it's me, Tortilla, known mostly as Mod by the people who have been following this blog for a While!

if you've ever scrolled for a bit here, you've probably Seen that I've tried a few times to get back into posting more often and failed comically as i grappled with the dreaded Mental Eel Nesses and Executive Dysfunction, among other things. especially since ask blogs aren't as popular as they were back in the day when i made this blog (2015! turned 9 years last aug 15th! that's an entire child. jin owes me a lot of child support,)

(before anyone gets scared, no I'm not deleting anything lol gimme a sec to word this thought)

okay so like. cutting straight to the point not gonna get sentimental right now I'll save that for later: i want to keep this blog active REALLY bad, but as much as I'd like to, for multiple reasons i cannot draw as much as i did back in the day, which is like... the main thing i usually post here. so I've been pondering for the past year or so What to Do about it

my one idea is to turn this into a general kgpr blog and reblog other people's art and official stuff and the alike here, instead of keeping it Just My Stuff

but the thing is, if i DO that i would want to change my url, because reblogging art to a place that's named "badly drawn--" whatever is. i Don't Want That y'know? it's disrespectful lol

the thing is that that's soooo many links that would Break. among other things. (+ i have nooo clue what id change the name to but that's a different issue)

so like, my question here is,

[wonder-worker]

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

i'm back on tumblr (again)

[lieutenantselnia]

I realised once again how bad I am at recognising faces ...

I started watching Charité (a German historical series about the Charité hospital in Berlin) and straight up did not notice that Justus von Dohnányi plays one of the main characters🤦 I don't often keep up with specific actors, but I really like many of his works (there are some films that I discovered only because they were listed in his filmography), and thought I would've probably grown accustomed to his face by now. To be fair in Charité he looks decently different since he has a beard and darker hair than usual (many characters that he played before that I know of were blond, which is also his natural colour I think). Still I wonder how long it would've taken me to realise it was him if I didn't have the show's Wikipedia page open on the side😅

[mischiefstirred]

so, i suppose it's time for me to address the elephant in the room: why i mentioned ritual sacrifice as a part of the triggers that'll be on this account (i know it's a trigger most probably don't see often BUT JSJSJ i promise that there's a reason behind this being included in this account, of course!). and that is because i wanted to express this one idea that, as zora neale hurston once said, 'half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. real gods require blood.' + this basically means that, while 'lesser gods' might require simple sacrifices, there's this idea among those who worship the gods in resgalis's pantheon that true gods demand more significant offerings to be bestowed to them when being prayed to to have their prayers answered.

and this, of course, includes resgalis because they are known as the god of change as well as boundaries; which means that if you are entering a transitory period within your life, then i came up with this headcanon that worshippers of ressa would want to try to 'appease' them in order to be given the best outcome possible when they come out on the other side. + they will also offer resgalis these UHHH... kind of unsavory offerings in hopes that the god will bring 'good' change to their life and that whatever they're wanting to change will happen. so, it's a sort of wish fulfillment ritual in a way since resgalis is known to preside over a rather large domain of people's lives (change). and that means being in good favor with them is very advantageous to some of the people in the religion that's associated with them.

so, yeah. i'm not saying that ritual sacrifice is right and i'm also certainly not saying that i agree with it as the mun, but this is something that i wanted to integrate within her character to introduce an element of extremeness to the religion / their worship overall; because the gods in their pantheon are viewed more as forces of nature than anything else. and i hope that makes sense, but if it doesn't, then just let me know y'all and i'll try to give you all a more detailed explanation of this.

I wanna post about my J/J/K OC one day but… I wonder if she’d be a little controversial since her relationship/dynamic is pretty (purposefully) toxic lol

[mercymaker]

looking at my gif ideas list and feeling absolutely nothing has to be one of the most crushing feelings as a creator

[jebiknights]

Forever crazy to me when people write characters who have canonically (or semi-canonically in Legends) struggled with the Dark side brush Anakin off as a lost cause. Obviously in order to return to the Light you have to want to, I do get that and the characters are likely going to know that, too. But it's just so disingenuous to me when people have these characters be unforgiving and skeptical, ignoring that character's past and experiences. I'm not sure if it's just a lack of knowledge of the characters in question or if they just like using characters as Anti-Anakin/Vader mouthpieces but it really takes me out of a story.

The future is such a wonderful thing to look forward to
