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???

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
#ngl i literally had to get high bc i was stuck in such bad thought loops#some of the deaths took me aback but discourse /always/ fucks with me#fandom culture tends to be very black and white and im too autistic to deal in that#it makes me question if im a good person ™️ if i have differing opinions#which!! is my own baggage to deal with but regardless#this fandom has generally been so lovely and fun and positive and kind#so im glad to see the trend returning after last night#fhjy#fantasy high#d20#christina.txt

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,
#...ngl i could swear i had more to say in this post but i forgot so uh. jazz hands#mod post#ive been going back and forth on this for a While lol..drafting posts and deleting them and rewording#life's been rough but kp's been there for me always and recently ive been back in the pit again#(managed to drag some of my friends in! they're having fun)#and ive been doing a doodle or two here and there but they're not in the badly drawn™ style#and after nearly a decade i STILL dont know if im allowed to post my normal style art here#(yes i know it's my blog i can do whatever. my brain works in mysterious ways. not even my therapist knows how it works)#if i do repurpose this id definitely go back and make the organization system better too lol which may take a bit#since there's like. over 2k posts or smth here? last i checked anyway#maybe more#might be over 3k but id rather lowball it#anyways im rambling uhhhhh#feel free to give more options/ideas if what i said doesnt feel Quite like the solution ig?#i just know ive been getting new followers still even when i havent been posting and it makes me feel bad like OH NO.... I HAVENT POSTED....

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?
#yes Elizabeth was without a doubt considered too low-born to be queen#no she was not a commoner and nobody actually called her that during her life (so I'm not sure why people are claiming that they did?)#Elizabeth's social status was not a problem in itself; it was a problem in the context of queenship and marrying into royalty#Context is important in this and for literally everything else when it comes to analyzing history. Any discussion is worthless without it.#obviously pop culture-esque articles claiming that she was 'a commoner who captured the king's heart' are wrong; she wasn't#But emphasizing that ACTUALLY she was part of the gentry with a well-born mother and just leaving it at that as some sort of “GOTCHA!”#is equally if not more irresponsible and entirely irrelevant to discussions of the actual time period we're studying.#Elizabeth *was* considered unworthy and unacceptable as queen precisely because of her lower social status#her father and brother had literally been derided as social-climbers by Salisbury Warwick and Edward himself just a few years earlier#the Woodvilles' marriage prospects clearly reflected their status (and 'place') in society: EW herself had first married a knight and all#siblings married within the gentry to people of a similar status. compare that to the prestigious marriages arranged after EW became queen#Elizabeth having a lower social status was not 'created' by propaganda against her; it fueled and shaped propaganda against her#that's a huge huge difference; it's irresponsible and silly to conflate the two as I've seen a recent tumblr post cavalierly do#like I said she was considered too low-born to be queen long before any of the propaganda Warwick Clarence or Richard put out against her#and the fact that Elizabeth was targeted on the basis of her social status was in itself novel and unprecedented#no queen before her was ever targeted in such a manner; Clearly Elizabeth was considered notably 'different' in that regard#(and was quite literally framed as the enemy and destroyer of 'the old royal blood of this realm' and all its actual 'inheritors' like..)#ngl this sort of discussion always leaves a bad taste in my mouth#because it's not like England and France (et all) are at war or consider each other mortal enemies in the 21st century#both are in fact western european imperialistic nations who've been nothing but a blight to the rest of the world including my own country#yet academic historians clearly have no problem contextualizing the xenophobia that medieval foreign queens faced as products of their time#and sympathizing with them accordingly (Eleanor of Provence; Joan of Navarre; Margaret of Anjou; etc)(at least by their own historians)#Nor were foreign queens the “worst” targets of xenophobia: that was their attendants or in times of war commoners or soldiers#who actually had to bear the brunt of English aggression#queens were ultimately protected and guaranteed at least a veneer of dignity and respect because of their royal status#yet once again historians and people have no problem contextualizing and understanding their difficulties regardless of all this#so what is the problem with contextualizing the classism *Elizabeth* faced and understanding *her* difficulties?#why is the prejudice against her constantly diminished & downplayed? (Ive never even seen any historian directly refer to it as 'classism')#after all it was *Elizabeth* who was more vulnerable than any queen before her due to her lack of powerful foreign or national support#and Elizabeth who faced a form of propaganda distinctly unprecedented for queens. it SHOULD be emphasized more.

oh boy i can smell the time skip ending from 500 miles away
#time skip endings aren't always bad but#shudders. demon slayer ending#that is the main reason why i have not yet read and completed demon slayer#watch it be a marriage and badly done time skip ending and i'll just be sitting on my bed#staring at my phone#somehow irate and also empty at the same time#idk how i feel about ochako's arc conclusion#i feel like it could've been executed better but i'm not like angry at it either#at the very least thank fuck it wasn't a confession scene#maybe this conclusion could be considered mediocre but you know what would be worse? that.#bnha spoilers#mha spoilers#bnha leaks#mha leaks#also im ngl idgaf about that old lady#to be clear i would massively prefer a marriage time skip ending over a confession in this chapter but also at the same time#fuck marriage endings outside of romance manga

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
#also doesn’t help that I’m super behind on the series#I remember being near the start of the current arc(?)#but ngl my mind and heart have always been stuck in the hidden inventory arc 😭😭#but yea my oc… well let’s just say I think she’s real fun ✨#(and if you know anything about me you know that’s bad news ✨)#butter rambles#I also got a K/N/Y one who’s story I really like..#and my M/D/Z/S one who’s lowkey one of my favourite ocs…#so many ocs… so little time…#just know my jjk one would probably need to come with a few content warnings lol

im sure ive alrwady said this but veilgaurd called me a bottom in evedy language, most strongly elvhen tho. i cannot stop thinking about elgar'nans lil spiel to the venatori saying 'all you must do is love me, and kneel' like bruh......if rook wasnt so spiteful they probably would have...just to see where he was going with that....
#im afraid of a lot as i get to the end of the game but technical things like the skill tree and subclasses aside#i dont get why people are so unhappy with it#maybe im biased cause i always play an elf but i fucking LOVE learning about elvhen history and how we shaped thedas#and then it all went to shit and our gods hated us and used tevinter to make the world worse#i highly doubt this is the last da game the series is too popular and adding that we can be trans now is a massive improvement#even if i think the lighthouse should have been more like skyhold and let us talk to companions more#and craft the armor ourselves#and ngl i think the lighthouse should have been more of a refuge for those that survived the gods attacks#like anyone from arlathen/dmeta or hossberg#idk im really only bad about the skill tree and subclasses and lack of bards tbh#but truely......the lucanis almost kiss???? everything about being a mourn watcher??? my SHATHANN CALLING ME A TWINK#this game called me a slur#and just the fucking appearance of my lil rook....he looked so blissed when under elgar'nans trance#bellara and neve were so done with my shit there 😭#i do want to play a dwarf really badly next time#or qunari because the games have built a really interesting cuture for them but never really went strongly into it other than like#the arishok and the antaam? but now they mention the devouring storm and thats probably a fuckass big dragon#but now i need to know more#im not done but veilguard very much isnt the conclusion#but my god i cant stop thinking about how vulnerable my rook actually is like from the personality ive given him from myself#if the gods or like anaris found him before varric did.....this would be a very different story and there would be a lot of tears and#begging for a shot at redemption and care#oh god wed disappoint vorgoth......might as well just kill myself if that ever happened#i just love that my rook has become more senstive as ive played and more hurt when he was already not doing so hot for personal reasons#he still has a smart mouth but he wants to cry like 9/10 times he has to make decisions#companions stop asking me to shape their lives challenges#ngl rook would absolutely stsrt bawling his eyes out over manfred begging emmerichs forgivness for wanting manfred back#i just imagine tears coming down his face as he tells emmerich manfred was a hero and he deserves another chance to keep learning so that#next time he does soemthing heroic...hes prepared and wont 'die' by doing it#cause my lil guy knows hes not smart enough to bring manfred back himself

looking at my gif ideas list and feeling absolutely nothing has to be one of the most crushing feelings as a creator
#life#ngl i've been feeling my drive to make gifs slowly declining but would always brush it away as 'having a bad day'#and just push myself to make things because those are MY blorbos?? and if i don't make anything then no one will#but i fear i'm slowly approaching the end of things#like i downloaded the hug mod and looked at it and looked at it and looked at it#and felt absolutely nothing#mel from like 5 months ago would be STOKED af about it rushing to find the prettiest location the cutest outfits etc.#and now i'm just.. yea#funny enough i was inspired to write quite a bit today so holding on to that creatively#not to be all gloom and doom though fingers crossed it's just exhaustion and heat doing a number on me#but i just felt like finally voicing what's been going on in my noggin#will go sit in the garden today and plant some flowers and see how i feel about things after that

it’s official; i’ll be working 5:30-9:30pm instead of 6:30-9:30pm thursday-monday due to the fact that we have 6 momma dogs and 37 puppies between them all in addition to the 4 dogs i have to walk (6 right now because we have two dogs boarding with us unfortunately) which means that i should have time to clean everything thoroughly and it also means that i will be making about $680 instead of $578 each biweekly paycheck which isn’t a lot but it is significantly more than $0 per week and this job suits my schedule so so so much better than literally every single other job i have had and also i get paid for getting some puppy therapy
#⟡ — kayleigh’s yapping#it’s only until we have less puppies of course but then again i honestly might just ask if i can work 5:30-9:30pm from now on 🤷🏼♀️#the extra hour makes a huge difference because it takes ~30min to walk all 6 dogs currently#so i should be done walking dogs by 6pm and then i have until 9pm to clean everything before i have to walk dogs again#ngl i will probably still have to stay 10-15 minutes late but that’s totally fine i am used to it by now lmao#when summer comes around it’ll be nice to have that extra hour to walk the dogs for longer#but right now the weather is usually shit and it is usually cold af so i only walk them until they go potty#they all get woods walks during the day so it ain’t a big deal that i don’t walk them for a super long time#ANYWAYS i am going to attempt to go tf back to sleep asap until 3:45ish and i am so so so glad that i have two days off after tonight#i just have to go pickup a big curbside grocery order tomorrow afternoon#(i always feel bad for getting 50+ items but i get so overstimulated if i go in and shop myself 😭)#(and i mean. it’s their job. i worked curbside pickup at a different store for a bit and it was infinitely preferable to working registers)#unfortunately i have been putting off groceries because i couldn’t get them last week due to their slots being full due to the holiday#so i have to make up for that by ordering a lot at once ughhh

Finally got a tekken 3 copy with its manual and wanted to compare the story synopsis of the final product with the demo i got a few months ago. Save to say that the quality difference is substantial.
I’m still confused on what they wanted to accomplish by the early concept of ogre not only killing jun but also kazuya. I’d write it off as an error but it appears in multiple sources so it makes me wonder if the early version of the story would have had kazuya living peacefully with jun after tekken 2? It seems so far fetched especially with them establishing that heihachi reigns as head of the mishima zaibatsu.
#tekken#shoomi.txt#should prob put this in the side blog buuut i’ve been neglecting this blog for months now#not over “jun kazuya” how do you even make that mistake#im unsure whether the demo was released before or along with the full product but im assuming before just for the story misconceptions#ngl the thought of kazuya leaving it all behind to leave with jun always sorta… rubbed me the wrong way#not that im not all for happy kazjun#(okay maybe if they work hard for it)#but kazuya abandoning his quest to murder heihachi seems so…. un-kazuya#at least to me#he’s a character that’s built off vengeance for the wrongs he has been dealt so idk#just me being particular anout kaz i guess#happy for jun tho she deserves to have a full family. for however long it lasts#hmmm but thinking of the implication of the reveal in t8 about her in such an au#it’s been a while since i got into the tekken headspace haha#also sorry for the bad captures i scanned these on my phone

sometimes ignorance isn't the worst thing
#i was about to sleep when i came across the pgc campus rape case reel which ofc yeah that's my feed and now i have to sit with the fact that#not only they did not get justice but many students were brutally beaten up and shot at while protesting ++ they denied everything because#there were suspicions of the ceo of institute being involved#i say the world is a scary for women always has been and won't change overnight but us south asian countries really excel in oppressing our#women girls specially young girls it was bangladesh first then the moumita case here in bengal (not like there weren't other disgusting and#horrifying rape cases & aren't still going on) but the brutality of these just keeps on upping each other#why did i have look into it now it sounds so selfish but atleast being ignorant is better than feeling all this helplessness & dread#i wish i had the 'oh i don't look at news' kind of attitude sometimes ngl because jesus it's just bad after worse after worse#but then i won't be able to live with myself i never had that dumb naive attitude towards world i grew up hearing about nirbhaya#i was terrified of men & our government & all the powerful people who get away with everything since i remember being able to walk to school#i was supposed to be sleeping rn sigh#tw rape

Glass Onion really was just me yelling about how stupid Miles is the entire time and then feeling the satisfaction when the other characters realized it too
