mo going to the fish store with he tian is maybe also a metaphor for how his life had changed and how he is not alone anymore i saw a tiktok showing like parallels from his first time there and his second time there first time he had just lost his job he felt hopeless, he had an argument with he tian he was alone he didn’t know about jian yis worry he seemed to be reaching his breaking point similarly to his feelings he gets one free small unhealthy fish out of it similar to how he is broken and alone this is unlike his second time there after jian yi pretty much sacrifices himself for him when he now know he has people that care for him that are willing to stand by him he and he tian have made up and have clarified where they stand to each other of not through words then definitely through actions and unlike the first time he leaves the shop with 3 fish not alone anymore

[sergle]

man, you know, nobody asked me, but I have such conflicting opinions on some of the fat falin art, where on one hand: it's always nice to see A Fat Body in fanart anywhere + it's being done in positive ways, for funsies and on the other hand, there is something so familiar about how you are automatically The Fat One if you are a woman simply standing next to a more petite woman, bc I've had a 0% hitrate in seeing people change Marcille's body type and keep Falin's, or change both of them. it's just Falin

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

Okay it’s been like a week i think that’s a decent amount of recovery time, I think i’ve about worked through it, I think i’ve pieced myself together at least a LITTLE

SO, lets get this show back on the road, maybe i’ll get more than one episode in this time WE’LL SEE

WHATISUPEVERYBODY WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER KNOX REACTS POST WITH A LOT CAPS LOCK AND A LOT OF KEYSMASHES, ITS GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE AGAIN, LETS GET STARTED

Spoilers for Monkie Kid season 5 episode 2 ahead

MMMMMMMMM OKAY SOOOO THIS ONE’S CALLED COLLAR THE KIIING.GOSH. WONDER WHAT TAHT COULD BE ABOUT. [looks at trailer] [looks at camera]

okay, listen, i got mixed feelings about using the circlet again, I mean, I dunno what it is, might be something pretty different, but the OG circlet was kinda like… as much as i like use it for angsty purposes, it was a big part of Sun Wukong’s journey. Bro had very little self-control, was quick to violence, you could say—what’s the word…. —allegorically??-wise it was kind of something to give him a reason to hold back. After he no longer needs that, he’s completed his journey, that circlet, disappears. Because he has that self control now, he’s ascended to buddahood or however you say it. (To my understanding at least.) So whipping it out as a way to snipe the OP character—I dunno man. I feel like something different could’ve been done. Especially since, to my knowledge, that kind of… will-bending thing is reserved for Guanyin to give out, rather than, some random guy. Like you can’t just dish those out willy nilly. Who gave him that? Bro we haven’t even started the episode save me hG;LKAJWEF I just think maybe they don’t know what to do with a character as OP as Sun Wukong sometimes, they do everything they can to snipe him, so he can’t do anything, and it makes him feel pretty useless. But like?? They seem to have no problem with Mk because bro as some pretty world-shattering looking powers at this point, and they ain’t sniped him yet, aside from his crippling anxiety and terror and all that.

… I dunno. We thinking. I PROMISED NOT TO TRY AND FILTER MY THOUGHTS SO Y’ALL ARE GETTING THE WILD UNFILTERED GARBAGE IN MY HEAD AT YOUR REQUEST SO GODSPEED HGL;KSDAFJAOWEF

Also, about the last ep, before I press play. I still think, Pigsy was off. Voice acting and writing. Like, is it character development to slowly erase a characters personality aside from how they care about another character? I don’t know! You tell me! I’m only one episode in! This’ll probably changed i don’t want to look like too much of an idiot so we’re going to get started! LEGOOO

The theme song still hurts me. They just.. REALLY like their tilted angles. Like SO much. Like… i just need to watch this with my head tilted to the side. It’s really bad. Listen, I’m all for a tilted angle here and there for some impact, but almost every new piece of that rigged/puppet animation in the theme song is all tilted in the same direction. It’s tripping me up, and I honestly don’t really like looking at it. GUYYYYSSSSS I’M TRYING HERE I’M REALLY TRYING |;A;/

OOOO HELLO VOICE ACTOR

BRO HAS A NICE VOICE. WHO IS THIS? I DON’T KNOW ANYONES NAMES HAHA

Okay, I will say, I do have one positive thing to say about this new animation and that is that they like, the backgrounds are still pretty decent. Like, they’re definitely missing the flair Flying Bark had, but they aren’t too far off. I will say tho, okay, I forgot to put a disclaimer I’ll add that later, but for now we’ll say a little something here. I realized after watching the first episode of this season, that the reason I fell in love with Monkie Kid, is because I fell in love with Flying Bark and their energy and their love for what they create. Even if this new studio pours they souls into this new season, I don’t think i can ever care about it the way i cared about the first four, because the reason I fell in love with it, is no longer here, the soul of it has changed, even if the writers stay the same. Like, we’ve had the writers change a bit once before, but the soul of the show stayed the same cause Flying Bark stayed the same. Now, that’s not the cause but ONCE AGAIN THOUGH, IT IS TOO EARLY TO REALLY TELL, this is just my thoughts right at this moment. Bro i haven’t even reacted to the episode i’m just uNLOADING NONSENSE I’M SO SORRYIGNS;DLFKAMWEF

MOVING ON GENTS SKIP AHEAD SKIP AHEAD

Y’know good call, it is pretty funny that these three monkeys always seem to be in the middle of trouble. Not to bring up HP but like, it does remind me of a scene I remember distantly watching with the whole “why is it always you three?” Little funny

OKay

OKAY

INAHLES.

Another tilted angle, hi buddy, has anyone counted these? We should count, just for comedic purposes—

I do think like… I’m so sorry, I’m so used to hearing what I want to hear while watching these, so when they’re falling, and I see Mk, I expected to hear him like, yelling but we only get that once he like… hits the ground. I do like the landing noises. Woof i’m hyper analyzing all this sound design now that i know the sound design people changed or whatever. Wowza. We in unfamiliar territory booooiiiis.

YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES ME SAD?? YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES ME SAD— wow i’m 47 seconds in and i’ve paused like forty seven timeslKMGOAWEF— ITS THAT I’LL NEVER SEE MONKEY KING’S REAL HYPED UP BITS IN FLYING BARK’S ANIMATION. I’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT HE CAN REALLY DO WHEN HE’S NOT HOLDING BACK WAILS. LIKE THAT SMOKE BEGON MOVEMENT? This is hard guys, i am such a visual person, I am strugglingggggg HG;LKAJFWEF I WANNA LIKE IT, I REALLY DO, I’M STRUGGLING

Okay yeah reaction right uuhhhh undersworld kings!! ten of em right? HEYYY GUYYSSSSS HOW’SA GOING, I CANT’ BELEIVE WE GET THE TAKEN TO COURT EPISODE, JUST IN THE UNDERWORLD INSTEAD OF IN THE CELESTIAL REALM RIP GKS;LJAFAMWEF

helpHELPGN;LSKDFA;OWEFIM HELP?? KAY KAY HOL UP

CACKLES

CAKCKLES SO LOUDLY

So

So either

writing error

or

listen, how did Mk know he was in bed… unless he was awake… when Pigsy carried him… upstairs… I’M JUST SAYING FOLKS, I’M JUST SAYING, HOW DID HE KNOW? HE SUPPOISEDLY FELL ASLEEP MID-NOODLE-EATING, HE DOESN’T KNOW HE’S IN BED, COULD HE HEAR THAT WHOLE ILY SON BIT?

If I close my eyes this aint’ so bad— CRIES WAILS I’M FINE

Anyway, point is, i’m saying Mk was in fact awake during all that. He just decided to pretend to be sleeping so Pigsy would carry him or something CACKLES

ONLY STRIKE WHEN YOU’RE ASLEEP—HELPGMLKASFMSDF Y’know I still think SWK in fact drunk himself to an early death still, silly little head canon, rather than falling asleep bro just was like alright folks i’m an alcoholic wdym you can’t take me down there i’m alive— whew its hot, there is a HEATWAVE HERE, AND smoke so we fine we fine AHEM ANYWAYS

SO

SO WHAT I’M HEARING

IS MK’S SLEEP-DEPRIVATION, KEPT THESE GUYS FROM CALLING

HAHAHAHA

Also wow, Macaque talks like he wouldn’t be deathly afraid of these guys. Isn’t this the same dude that was willing to turn on humanity for the Lady Bone Demon if it meant not dying again???? ??? ??? But he’s gonna get huffy with the underworld kings????? Bro

Swk is a fashionista real Cool robes so true

Okay cool monkeys are

in court

WHEEZEKLMGOAIEWFM

OH

OH

OH OH

KAY

LISTEN

I HEARD SOMEBODY

DRAGGING THEIR SSS’S

HELLO

I HEARD THAT

I KNOW HWAT YOU ARE

I KNOW WHAT THIS

THAT MY FRIEND IS SOMEBODY

THE VIBE IS DIFFERENT

ARE YOU ARE SCROLL STEALLING FELLA IS THE QUESTION

I might be out to lunch on this I’m just thinking about that medusa haired bird snake lion turtle creature thing and I’m thinking one of these guys, is that guy. Jusssssayin

Anyway wow I gotta go back and process words now

Okay

Cycle

….Right

Cool

Cccccycle

Yeah

squints

That aint’ sus at aaall

hmmm Harbrrriingggerrrr

Also wait yeah, speaking of the pillars of the universe or whatever HA I NEED TO WATCH THESE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ONCE AGAIN STARTED TO REBLOG MY POSTS WITH SPOILERS IN THE TAGS, I SAW A CONFIRMATION ABOUT PILLARS OF THE UNVIERSE SO IG I WAS RIGHT ON THAT

THEORY TIME BEFORE WE CONTINUE LETS GO

MK DESTROYS THE PILLARS OF THE UNIVERSE BABYYYYY

UM

OOOO OR HE’S MEANT TO

HAHA

Could you imagine

Y’know my bros and I had a theory about Mk being made as like, a way to take down monkey king, the entire universe is just the next step of that theory ig haha MOVING ONNNN BBYYYY

Okay

OKay i laughed a little

i still think some of the dialogue sounds awkward, i don’t know what it is. Um Sean still giving his best performance here tho thanks bro we love and appreciate you. I did laugh because it is funny they re-summoned him. I do find it interesting that no one seems afraid of Sun Wukong. Like…. they make all these references to stuff he’s done, but no one really respects him, or vies him as an actual threat? I mean well, clearly they do if they gonna slap a circlet on him. But its like… bro ripped his way out of here last time, and y’all are gonna??? Not be nervous?? I dunno. Monkie Kid really likes to take sun wukongs backstory and kinda… giiiiive a lot of his motivation to other people so he’s just… acting for others rather than for himself, if that makes sense??? Like with Azure, they had Monkey King being manipulated into attacking heaven, rather than his pride getting a kick and him wanting respect and all that and y’know prideful hours. Among other things. Like I get this is a kids show but man he feels watered down at some points, he really is just a silly goofy guy in this version, who everyone thinks is out to get them, but they don’t fear or respect him. …its weird. I dunno. Its a weird way to do it, Iv’e been thinking about that for a while, but its really apparent to me right now, perhaps because i’m not distracted by GOD TIER animation. Who knows.

Y’all i am having TOO MANY THOUGHTS

Moving on I got a backlog of nonsense this is just dump for all my thoughts godspeed to anyone who doesn’t hate my guts and my takes by the end of this LOL

We love swk looking smug about every crime he’s ever committed. I do like that they let him keep that at least. So he did that on his own yayyyy

Similar crime huh? Funky

Scroll of memory was stolen

-_- y’know at least they got one thing very right from jttw, absolutely BOGUS accusations from the celestials against monkey king 24/7

SOMEBODY GET MK OUT OF HEREMGS;ONWAIOEFM

Its a dream so he get the suit

Monke y c o p c o u rt ro o om a d d i t i o n i cannot you guysGN;LKAWEFM;AFE

Macaque’s face when mk asks fort the charges is comical yeah

Swk looks about ready to go back to dreaming about peaches

Sniffs

“yOuR aCtiOnS” shut your mouth king guy clearly you’ve never stepped foot outside in your fancy pants robe go touch grass

“we should leave” YEAH GERAT IDEAKLMGOIFAWEF

okay so this is the part where they slap the circlet on then cause they gotta stop swk from bodying his way out

sighs

SIGHS

well on the bright side, monkey king angst real ig

I’m Stil having a \REALLY hard time looking at this new style my brain is dying, ITS NOT CAUSE ITS BAD ITS JUST CAUSE ITS NOT THE KIND OF STUFF I LIKE, ITS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I LIKE EXCEPT I CAN’T BLOCK THE TAG ON TUMBLR BECAUSE THIS IS THE SHOW NOW [face in hands bro] So happy for everyone who’s totally unphased by this change but mAN this feels so different to me feels like coming home and someone moved into your house and replaced all your furniture and yeah its the same house but its not—

K

face in hands bro

YEAH CUASE THE MONKEY KING IS JUST GOING TO STAND THEIR LISTENING TO THIS GUY INSTEAD OF MAKING A DOOR WHEN HE SAYS HE’S GOING TO, LIKE

Y’know what i liked about flying bark? THE FACT THEY DIDN’T DO THISKLGMAOSI;FMAEW I’m so sorry guys I got gourmet animation and now i’ve got regular food it just is not the same and I am struggling to adjust because i miss flying bark. I didn’t have points where iw as like wow, they really just stand there and listen to this instead of taking action, but this is all standing and listening and no taking action which i guess could save on animation budget but BOY do i suffer for it I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENSSSSSS

I may be overlydramtic about this, its okay just hit me with a bunch of pool noodles guys i’m fine—

Y’know with the amount of time these take me to watch i really am probably only gonna be able to do like one a day n;LKGMASF

So

I pressed play

“We have brought a power even greater than yours”

and then i was so deadpan because i was like here we go circlet time (sidetone, the colours i don’t like something about them, I don’t like it, its off, its not pretty) and then Nezha pops out and i literally went

“WHAT?”

HELP?? WHAT??

“HAHHAH THIS is your big scary?”

sniffs

Okay fr the dialogue is off

its very off

whats going on guys

whats happening

is this cause the writers are being rushed?

bro i dunno

I might be losing my mind

oh heyyyy it’s Nezha’s daaaaad

Also what.

Tell me WHY (aint’ nothing but a mistake—) Nezha is here, when he kNOWS these guys were not responcible and DID IN FACT HELP SAVE ?? STUFF?? HE WAS THERE??????? I’m questioning… some decisions…..

nEZHY GH;LASKFJASDF

Okay

THE WAY I LAUGHED

Li jing I don’t actually know how to spell his name

IS NOT THAT POWERFUL

BRO??

JTTW

??? HAVE YOU READ IT??

MONKEY KING KICKED HIS BUTT??

HE WENT CRYING??? TO THE JADE EMPORER???

my hand is over my face

I cannot

why

tell me why (ain’t nothing but a mistake—) monkey king seems nervous

like

the pagoda thing is that what its called? the building that was used to snatch and hold people prisoner i remember a version of a jttw show has them snatch all his monkeys in it and use it to blackmail him into surrendering, i can see what that thing might be a problem but LI JING???

Sneezes

I laughed

again

they made

him the

I’m fine we’re just gonna move on

Well—

Okay well actually he can be replaced. that’s his…. whole thing. He… he gets replaced… eventually… and the cycle goes on. That….Am i remembering that wrong? Y’all i might just be out of date with my lore memory here i

sniffs

I don’t like him

go away Li Jing—

Oooooooooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii need to get over the animation. It is NOT like i have mad skills its HARD to do, i need to just get over it, but monkey king pointed and that finger is so pointy what happened i’m so

its fine

I’m fine

They’re so severe

OBJECTION

WE’RE GUITLY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

Ohhhhhhhh so they went

.

you can’t see my face rn but i sure a making one

so they went, he’s boss man now… so he can… do that….

sniffs

I dunno man

circlet was form of like… not to say that pain is a good… thing to do, but like… its the only language that monkey king knew how to speak when he was trapped under the mountain and at the beginning of the journey. “this is wrong” “HA SO?” “okay well, if you do this you feel pain” “okaywaitwaitwait—“ like… it was a form of mercy (hence Guanyin) because otherwise, he would’ve gotten thrown under the mountain cause he hadn’t “chilled out enough.” So… I dunno. Like wildly misused by triptiaka but i doubt Guanyin gave this one to Li Jing because its not about bettering its about collaring and leashing. I dunno duuuuuuude. Angst is spicy but like…. I’m having a TIME here HGLK;SADFJASFD

Once again

You’re telling me

MACAQUE

would realize whats happening

before monkey king

you think

monkey king

wouldn’t know IMMEDEATLY

what that guy is talking about

AND DIP

INSTANTLY

to get away from that

like

.

not like bro was tied down he really is just standing there waiting for that thing to be slapped on

This is something

it sure something

I WANNA ENJOY THE CHARACTER MOMENTS BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS GETTING TO ME I NEED TO LIKE WATCH IT AGAIN IN ORDER TO APPRECIATE WHATS HAPPENING OR SOMETHING RAA It’s fine, its fine, I’ll probably process around episode five and be fine and move on. i hope. probably

ALSO WAHT YOU CAN JUST?? SLAP THAT ON FROM A DISTANCE?? MONKEY KING HAD TO PUT THAT ON HIMSELF IN JTTW—

I need to let jttw go a bit if i’m gonna make it through this season;LKGMAW;EF THIS IS SEASON 4 ALL OVER AGAIN WITH SOME OF THISGLKS;DF

Okay, maybe i am stalling a little bit because i know there’s going to be screaming and that is gonna be WILD

well there might not be we’ll see

“aww macaque was running up to stop it—“ yeah i love that we get only macaque reacting and not the guy who’s literally gonna be experiencing intense pain, and we see NONE of his horror we see macaque instead.

….

as a monkey king fan this upsets me— NG;KLAWMEF;A

LISTEN I’M GLAD MACAQUE FANS ARE EATING

I AM STARVING

it’s fine, if i saw monkey king making horrified expressions i’d probably just start missing flying bark its FIIINE

WE’RE ONLY THREE MINUTES IN SAVE ME I’M CRYING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES TAKE ME AWAY FROM HEEEEEREEEEE

LISTEN I WILL TRY AND BE MORE POSITIVE MAYBE AFTER THE INITAL REACTIONS AND ONCE I’VE PROCESSED MAYBE

WOUGH

okay time for screaming probably

.

you know what i’m gonna try

i’m gonna try watching with my eyes closed

and see if that makes a difference for how i feel about this

just for like a few seconds

just gonna try

beaST WATCH YOUR MOUTH LI JINGOHHHHH WOW YEAH SCREAMING WOW

wwwwoah

Sean went wild there okay hey man wow i can see why he was being all wow this seasons wild guys wow

sniffs

cool beans

me two years ago would be FEASTIN on this angst

maybe i’ll be feasting again once this all converts to flying bark png hGLK;ASJDF

watching again with visuals

. . . . i don’t wanna sound mean. like fr. they worked really hard, they have a totally unrealistic set of deadlines to meet when making this show cause lego is STUPID but like… i liked it better with my eyes closed. Like, seeing the visuals, I aint’ feeling it. IT DOESN’T FIIIIIIIT THE EXPRESSIONS DONT’ FIT THE SOUNNNNDDDSSSSSSSS RAAAAAAAAAAAHGHDFLKJSDFJJF FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

Listen I appreciated Flying Bark SO MUCH while it was animating Rise and Monkie kid. I gushed about them to anyone who would listen, i made an ENTIRE YOUTUBE CHANNEL JUST SO I COULD POST AMVS ABOUT THEIR ANIMATION, I APPRECIATED THEM TO HECK AND BACK. And i STILL feel like i should have cherished them more while i had em because this is just…. like every other kids show that you see when you slap on the tv on a treehouse channel or something actually i’ve seen ones i like more u h hhhh like again, i’m not saying its bAD, i’m just saying i don’t like it. Not my vibe

Y’know i feel a little bad cause i know i’ma be disappointing some of y’all by not like… being like OHHH DANNG BRO WAHT WHAT WHAT?? CIRCLET WHAT?? MONKEY?AUGHAUGHAA?? cause like that’s what i should be doing?? THATS HOW I SHOULD BE REACTING??? This change is like effecting me more than i expected ig dang

Alright sorry guys, half of this “reaction” is just me working through my stages of grief WHEEZEKLMG;LAKSDFMASDF

MOVING ON

alright mk monkey up and get em outta here

Also why not just circlet all of them to be safe? like realistically—

au where— nah i’m kidding

OH YEA MONKEY UP KID sniffs

SNIFFS

SCREAMS

i’m fine

holding hands and being reassuring despite being in immense pain to comfort Mk? HA

I’M FINE

I gotta say though, I don’t feel Mk’s panic…. I’M SO SORRY FOR THIS BUT COULD YOU IMAGINE??? IF FLYING BARK HAD DONE THIS???? WE SAW THE LADY BONE DEMON EPS THIS WOULD HAVE LIKE DESTROYED ME

<— having a moment

WE’RE FINE

OKAY

continue

I do appreciate, Monkey King’s absolute dedication to Mk, it’s interesting. I think the dynamic is interesting. Mk is just…. incredibly dedicated to monkey king, and monkey king is INCREDIBLY dedicated back. Only seems to care about how Mk’s doing. He just wants to make sure he’s okay. And that’s great. It actually works a lot better on Monkey king than it does on Pigsy. Like it feels like everyone is VERY suddenly touchy and like… the mentor father figures are hugs and gentle touches and carrying upstairs, and i dunno its throwing me off a little. With PIgsy specifically. Lost his gruffness i miss that part of him a lot. I miss pigsy guys. Fr tho i do think it fits the monkey a bit better, even if howwww…. long the touches are is new and feels p sudden

[scratches neck] dunno. we got mixed emotions here today folks!

Mk calming down immediately

OH SO NOW HE SAYS SOME—

-_-

y’know i don’t know if i like this.

bro came in looking like he knew exactly what was gonna happen, says absolutely nothing. And then gasps BELATEDLY after the circlet is on—its just… the pacing is all over the place, the characters reactions are delayed its yanking me out of the… like i CANT’ GET INVESTED WHEN ITS SO JARRING?? like bro they—HUIH????

its fine

whatever, gotta let us know Nezha ain’t the bad guy or whatever i get it

only four minutes in monkie kid gods save me

okay i laughed out loud

THEY JUST SLAPPED THEM IN A BOX

AHAHAHAHAHA

THERE’S CHAINS HANGING

AND THEY DONT’ EVEN USE EM

ouughhfffff i can’t look at that for too long it is OOOOFF

oooooooOOUGGGH THIS IS A CHOICE

tighter???

rubs face

HUH????

I ain’t feeling it foooolks

bro should be having a panic attack i’ma be reaaaal, like, play dumb, lighten the mood, we know he does thiisss BUT “i really really didn’t want to wear one of these again” feels like bro is just wearing an uncomfortable “i’m stupid” hat

OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO I GET ALL THE PUNISHEMNT AND YOU GET TO MOPENGLKASMFAOWEFM

Hey how did i predict this conversation but more emotional? y’all should go check out the comic pebs made of that THIS WHY PEOPLE KEPT REBLOGGING THAT WHILE TAGGING IT AS SEASON 5 SPOILERS OH MY GODSGN;MLASFAWNGF;OIAWMEFSAFE

I’m blessed by Apollo y’all i’m blessed

suitably distracted now

okay this is a weird arguement now

no kay it

I’ve had to re-listen to this exchange like four times to understand it mAYBE IM JUST SLOW NOW?? Macaque and Wukong’s arguments are really……….. interestingly worded??? i dunno, i’m having a hard time processing them n all that

love how mk just goes right back to trying to get it off and wukong doesn’t even react G;LKAMWEF

GOES AT IT WITH THE STAFFG;ASLKDFMAWEF

oh hey wassup nezha

Mk appreciates Nezha thinks he’s so cool, get ready to be disappointed in the dude— /j/j/j

TENSE IN HERELGKMSFOAIWEFM

It’s not that tense, also why is it tense?

Y’all should have heard the sound i just made while making strangling motions with my hands

MK FEELS OFF WHY ISNT’ HE LIKE… MK-ING Y’KNOW WHAT I MEAN?? he feels like he’s just avoiding rather than… IS IT WEIRD I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THE PERSONALITIES ARE MISSING?? WHATS GOING ON??? Its’ the same writers whats going on DO I REALLY NEED EXPRESSIONS TO UNDERSTAND AND CONNECT TO CHARACTERS THAT BADLY??

Save me y’all

Oohhhhhhhh

Y’know

girl bringing mic closer to face meme thing yeah that was me looking at the bits of hair getting swept out nice move mr the king ily

I do love Nezha dropping by i think its great

Monkey King making fun of him as always we love to see it, Nezha reacting and totally missing whats going on again, we love to see it, bro keeps getting beaten by monkey kings hair BG;LKAMWEF HAHAHA

DEMOTED LOSERRRRR

okay

okay i made a little OOAWWWWWWWW sound that’s actually super cute bUT ALSO WDYM YOU’VE LISTENED TO MONKEY KING EXPLAIN THINGS BEFORE AND ITW AS FINE—

Kay listen, I do appreciate the family bits in this, but it also feels like they’re forgetting about a lot of development that has happened, so they can go LOOK HOW MUCH OF MK’S DADS PIGSY AND TANG ARE ISN’T IT CUTE? and i’m like… brother…. brooooooo my duuuuuuuude it is but can you do that without… blehOKAY ANYWAY

MOVING ON BEFORE WE GO ON ANOTHER TANGENT I’VEB EEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME ALREADYGNASLKFMSDFM

tellin us about the pillar explaining it, appreciate that thanks, hhhhhhhhoooold up so like… someone’s trying to destroy the pillarrrr…. and they need…. mk? to do it? maybe? I dunno man we just spitballing here

SEAN SOUNDS SO DIFFERENT HELPGMKL;DAMFASDF

huh

that’s funny

while they’re explaining the story or whatever there’s a mortal that has me’s haircut but with a bun

.

haha

i’m sure that’s just me

and not indicative of any mk being a being who has existed before around the same time that something was broken haha NOOOOO

yeah yeah i know this story mended the pillar cool stuff

WHHHHAOOOOh what why does he sound like that? WHY IS HIS VOICE SUDDENLY SO HIGH MACAQUE????? MAC?? Is this the sound design again? I am so thrown by so many things right now save meee

Sure is suspicious

Nezha never has any idea whats going on when Mk or wukong are in the room

Macaque is used to shenanigans by now he grew up with the great sage

Mk being chaos incarnate and not just ADHD sure is funny

is this an allegory for neaurodivergency— /j/j/j/j

oop another tilted angle hey its almost been three minutes!!!

….y’know how i always used to just get this ray of sunshine from mk like just, absolute positivity and goodness? I ain’t getting that no more the vibes are LOST

and a pain crown on’s head THAT’S NOT BEST FRIEND STUFFKMSLDF

AHAHAH HE GOT EM

HE GOT HIM

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’M A CLONEGLKMSAF;OAWEMF YESSSSSS

CACKLES

AHAHA DOUBLE TAPPED DOUBLEELKMG;OIFMAWE

DOUBEL GOT

GOTTEM TWICE

what did that remind me ofOH THOR AND LOKI

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

hey that’s fun

The way Nezha has watched these guys fight tooth and nail to save the world and still wants to slap em back in jail is hilarious to me

Also this feels like a fake out villain season now

like PSYCH YOU THOUGHT NEZHA’S DAD WAS THE BIG BAD?

WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YOU ITS NOT HIM

just because of that bit Mk said n all that making me squint

ALSO THAT DUDE THAT WAS DRAGGING HIS SSS’S I’M TELLING YOU ITS THAT GUY WE ALREDY KNOW ONE OF THE UNDERWORLD KINGS IS SKETCHY

Jailbreak kid hours

Okay i will say i loved Nezha’s VA yelling Wukong its a great vibe he’s doing amazing

Y’know i just can’t sometimes with these celestials

i love monkey king laughing joyously while spears are being thrown at him i think that’s very wukong

oh hey they did a team up move that looked like what Lupin keeps describing in the battle team up moments with them all the time stares

this guy thinks he’s the main characterKLMG;AWEF

CACKLES

I SUPPORT ALL OF MONKEY KINGS CRIMES

HE SHOVES THEM BOTH OFF THE SIDE OF HEAVEN

OKAY SANDY SOUNDS WRONG TOO

HE SOUNDS WRONG TOO GUYS IT CAN’T JUST BE ME

Sorry Sandy nothings’ built to last around these monkeys

Macaques scarf over his face i think its funny how fast we went from actual threat macaque to introvert hiding in a scarf macaquehG;LAKJWER

Okay a little bit of snappy pigsy there but ONCE AGAIN HE SOUNDS WRONG, okay so the like… yeah probably the sound design or something they’re missing something in their voices i dunno what it is but its driving me nuts it feels like they changed all the voice actors but Sean’s sometimes

….Y’know it really feels like they’re just trying to force discord between monkey king and macaque with no reason and with like… no actual emotional argument buildup?? its just yeah monkey king gets mad at him this fast and macaque mouths of constantly. this from the guy who followed them around for the samadhi fire like, I dunno man

“what if we really are chaos”

that was far too specific a line to not mean anything down the line what now are they gonna snatch chaos and hit people with it ?

SNORTS

Okay i’ma be honest y’all so far it feels like macaque is the main character of the season because we keep getting shots of his reactions to things happening and like nobody elses this feels like the macaque show rather than the monkie kid crew show

Pigsy finds out his son has become a criminal ;LKGMAW;OEFIMF

TIME TO FIX oh dont’ do me like tat bro don’t show me glimpses of something akin to flying bark pls

oh whats up pagoda

LIKE THERE???? WE DONT’ GET TO SEE THE REST OF HTE CREWS REACTION TO THE CIRCLET???????

where’s the soul guys there was a reason i could never really pick a favourite in the show its cause they were all so beautiful in every moment whats going on—

-_-

AMC's Interview with the Vampire is already perfect, but even more perfect when you do not give a fuck about whatever anne rice actually wrote

[shiraishi--kanade]

This is the first and the last time I engage in shipping discourse but as an An Shiraishi enjoyer I feel like I must put my foot down on this one. If you genuinely think Ena&An is an incest/incest-coded ship, what is Wrong With You.

It's one thing if you get grossed out by it, getting grossed out by things is your god given right & harms nobody & not shipping something is never an issue. But you cannot in good faith go and make this argument for EnaAn in the way you can for Touya, because they are not that and if you do not provide extensive context for your claim you are also spreading mildly malicious misinfo.

"An sees Ena as her older sister!" is, as far as canon is concerned, a statement completely out of the left field. What An does is make one (or two, I forgot if she does it in Mizuki2 but that literally doesn't matter for the purposes of this conversation) statement about how "she'd wish Ena could be her older sister" in response to Ena doing anything caring and nice to An. She does that because she's an only child with a wildly romanticised view on sibling relationship that she tends to apply to everyone, and because her familiarly with Ena comes first and foremost from knowing her as "Akito's older sister", which is the archetype An sees her before anything else, not because she actually sees Ena as family.

Notably, this narrative is largely absent from Resonant Town event story, where An sees Ena as Ena and only brings up her being an older sister when it actually matters for the conversation. She is completely capable (and does so) of viewing Ena as her own person and she does not see her as her own sister in any way or shape. She just expresses a daydream scenario in which she is, which means literally nothing considering how these two interact or what impression of each other they have.

I hope at least people who hold that position are doing that on purpose and getting giggles out of people believing them, otherwise I'm losing hope in media literacy existing entirely.

[thekidsarentalright]

"Really fitting for Pete Wentz to be the one to get on my ass about ego, huh? Can't handle your own ego and insecurity so you just project it on the rest of us?" Patrick had shot back, voice raw and exasperated, so beyond done and exhausted with this conversation after having it a million times, which remained almost more painful for Pete to hear than the words themselves, just as it had felt all those years ago. When these types of arguments were in their infancy, there was so much passion and rage, but that had crumbled now to pure bitterness.

------------------------

Or, a long-buried moment resurfaces, forcing Pete to question whether moving forward actually means progressing or regressing.

yes! he's going to potentially make a (very brief) appearance in the second part and have a starring role in the third part, which will be a dabihawks fic :)

[unhinged-nymph]

Thoughts on Will It Chaser?

Let's just take in the following transcript:

R: “Just follow my lead.” L: “You’ve never done it.” R: “I don’t think it’s that difficult of a concept.” L: “Ok.” R: “You know what I’m sayin?” L: “Dink it and…” R: “Wait, hold on, put it in your other hand. That’s why you got two hands, man.”

Now what exactly are we talking about here….? 🤭

Shout out to every time Link tucked in his shirt or adjusted his pants and Rhett stared SO aggressively.

Thoughts on the Tequila Worm Story:

The way link looks at him during it…. my heart can barely handle it

“And I was so mad at you because that was a betrayal of our covenant with each other” I’m sorry your WHAT NOW? That is such a dramatic thing to say my dude, likeeee… and then Link immediately putting his hand on rhett’s shoulder and squeezing 🥺️

I also still don’t really get why they were so always worried about drinking? Specifically Rhett? Why are there several stories of Rhett getting mad at Link for trying alcohol? But they had no problem attempting to make and then drink strawberry wine together? What’s the deal there 🤔 hmmmm...

“We’re completing the circle tonight” mhm ok

Overall I really liked this segment and I actually can't believe they hadn't done it already? And the boys were giggly per usual and the vibes were pretty dang good.

I also want to make a note here that Link’s vibes throughout the entire night were immaculate and he seemed so happy and full of love and it was SO cute!! 🥺️

[kyluxtrashpit]

Okay I know no one cares but now that gundam witch is finished I figured out what it is that bugged me about it

As a shounen mecha anime with some wlw flavour, it’s quite good. It delivers on virtually everything you’d expect from the genre with some twists to make it fun. Enough gut-punch emotional moments to keep you on your toes but almost everyone still ends up alive and happy in the end. A level below FMA I’d say in terms of ‘how much is this gonna fuck me up’ lmao

As specifically a mainline gundam anime though, it will disappoint if you’re expecting a gundam-typical experience. Which I was, and that’s probably why I found it frustrating at times. There’s tidbits of really great world-building and character potential in the background that I was aching to see explored more (as well as some stuff I’m still like. Wait how does that work??? Why no explain) and it was all just passed over to be resolved in a rather convenient and easy way at the end. It was fundamentally very different and while different isn’t inherently bad, it can lead to expectations vs reality mismatches that lead to confusion and/or disappointment, which it did for me

And that’s fine, it’s fine. The show itself isn’t bad, it just didn’t live up to what I was expecting it to be. Which is maybe a me problem, but also like. It’s in a franchise that has certain expectations that come with it. How weird would it be to watch a Star Trek series where space travel and cultural exchange is a background thing that you only hear about but don’t see much of? It’d be fucking weird lmao. I think it could be done, but it would lead to the exact reaction I had to this: what the hell, get to the thing I came here for skskdks

Anyway I’ve resolved my conflict with it and made my peace. Maybe in a while I’ll rewatch it with this new frame of mind and see if I like it more without the weight of expectations on it. Though also pour one out for the people I saw in the comments saying “this was my first gundam series and omg my emotions have been obliterated, I’m gonna watch some others now” lmfao cause

[faggotgamzee]

orv classpects these classpects are written and approached from the perspective of what their roles are in the narrative/story and if they have achieved their character arcs rather than embodying their personalities !! major spoilers for the novel ahead !!

my choices also prioritize making sure they fit thematically against each other, in the same way they do in the story but I honestly didn't have to try hard just from how will written orv is and how it is very similarly approached to homestuck when it comes to certain building blocks/beats in writing a story so as such I ended up with the characters that were written as narrative foils to each other fitting very well for their exact opposite classpects unintentionally I gave yjh maid of time and I gave hsy prince of space which are exact opposite classpects to each other fitting their foil like status in the story and or how jung heewon and lee hyunsung are complimentary characters so as such they get blood and heart (sword and shield) and knight and page this wasn't my direct intention when I came into writing this but I am happy with my choices because of it haha

kim dokja - mage of hope

hope is an aspect of choices, options and possibilities as well as belief, dokja's entire story arc is guided by his hope and belief for the characters he's read in the story, and he has been kept alive solely on the hopes tied to said characters, he didnt hope for something better for himself, but something better for the story and once he is given the option to enter the story he has been a source of hope for everyone around him. he continuedly gives multiple characters hope for a better ending, hope to survive etc

and tying into this the way he gives out that hope is through his thorough understanding of the source material 'ways of survival' mage is an active understanding class one that FULLY knows the aspect and exploits the systems its given with that knowledge, mages so far in the comic tend to have self destructive tendencies/rotten ability to use their aspect for themselves, with meulin a mage of heart one who understands people's selves and hearts , thoroughly being manipulated and puppeted unable to understand or see her own sense of self and sollux captor a mage of doom not being able to circumnavigate his own continues doom even though he could see it coming from a mile away, their thematic journey is to learn to help themselves as such I think a mage of hope is a perfect classpect for someone who continuedly gives people hope through killing himself repeatedly lmao, he lacks hope for himself but that doesn't mean he cant give it to everyone else

yjh - maid of time / maid of doom

the reason I started writing this post if because I was listening to temporal shenanigan's and I was struck by how similar YJH is to aradia's story the reason I am hesitating between doom and time is because I like the imagery of YJH being a doom player as an almost foil to dokja's hope (note the opposite of hope classpect wise in homestuck isnt doom, but rage, doom's opposite is life, however, doom is rather similar to rage and I'd consider them analogous not the same but work within similar enough frames) , doom is about systems and restraints, being stuck within the bounds of a "code" a "game" and I think it also works very well for yjh, someone who is literally doomed by the narrative stuck in between the texts, but a lot of doom player's in the story end their story, well, doomed? and while their story continues the only way to circumnavigate their doom is to be outside of the bounds of the story (think SP). I think it'd be interesting if the two different yjh's the one dokja grew up with was doomed (SP) and the one in orv is dictated by time, but a part of me also slightly feels like that cheapens yjh's overall story since both yjh's do struggle immensely with both doom and time but it would fix my hesitation lmao imagine dokja's hope powers did something to give yjh a new chance/a new chance for their session speaking of, a LOT of yjh's story is dictated by time (this concept alone I could write essays about in how its portrayed in the story in multiple forms pocket watch aside) , time involves and symbolizes death, constant movement. it is uncertainty and inevitability. it is one of the core aspects required in every session for its success its opposite aspect is space which I think hsy fully embodies and it makes me happier to have him as a direct foil to hsy more than an almost foil to dokja because that is how he is written in the story maid class is a passive creation class and I know at first glance it doesnt sound like yjh but a maid's thematic story is to grow past being subservient to their aspect and take a hold of it. Aradia starts off the story as a ghost, and then a robot, puppeted by the whims of the dead and then every so often equius, till she goes batshit and takes control of her own narrative, she becomes time itself (a pun on made of time) and thats why the song I linked you can hear the singer become more "alive" the more time passes she is no longer untethered from time by the end of her journey and in much the same way we can see the maid journey reflected in yjh's self actualization, he starts off as a puppet of the oldest dream, a puppet to the star system/story, but most importantly, a puppet to time, he is forced to chase an ending he cant see and even though he can "choose" to regress that is never an actual choice because it will simply happen whether he wants it to or not, dokja gives him hope and helps with this versions self actualization, dont regress, dont give in to time and to take control of it just this once sp reaches the self actualization of a maid of doom (and time tbh), someone who deletes himself from the story, he is no longer a slave to the text he has reached the end of it and is choosing his own story hidden amongst the doomed in the forest

hsy - prince of space

space is the other aspect most important for the success of a session, its an aspect of creation, beginnings, creativity and while I feel like there might be some disagreement due to her fractured sense of self being very similar to a certain prince of heart, dirk wouldnt fracture himself into completely different people/characters and while his fractures can grow to become different people ie hal, their core origin is that they are him, whereas in hsy's case she is capable of creating completely new different people (yjh) and while they do share similarities, they are different from the start. I personally think space is a perfect aspect for a writer. the prince class is an active destruction class, the way destruction classes work is that they invoke the opposite of their class, because they are destroying it so if the opposite of space is time, she would be invoking yjh's aspect which I think is poetic, and space is all about beginnings but a prince of space would be all about endings which is a large theme for her in ORV at first I wanted to give her the knight class (an active exploitation class that deals with having to come to terms with their insecurity) because of the fractured sense of self and the perceived insecurity of hiding behind masks of various versions of herself that she creates, but I think prince can also touch upon those things in a much more precise manner than simply saying she is insecure in her aspect because hsy isnt insecure in her writing she is very confident in it but she is insecure about WOS (calls it shitty bad writing etc), she is using her writing to destroy herself and the world she created , hsy of the 1863'rd round specifically does this very clearly, to achieve an ending, its not a good ending but an ending nonetheless of a writer who is tired of her story and her main character she is self destructively hiding herself away using her aspect/abilities rather than overcompensating for them the way a knight does a prince's thematic journey is to uh, not destroy themselves while they try to get to where they are going so I think ill give her A plus for effort? I mean she is alive by the end of the story so she succeeded! she continuedly destroys herself for the story culminating in her biggest act of destruction, writing WOS for dokja and then just disappearing into herself by destroying her own ending and becoming her own beginning

yoo sangah - seer of void / rage

in much the same vain as yjh I cant decide on an aspect for yoo sangah because I think both of these are very prominent in her story and I think it can go either or, sadly I don't have the same cop out with yjh so I'll just explain my reasoning for both void deals with secrets, nothingness, the hidden and obscured while rage is a direct foil to hope so it deals with restrictions, limitations and while it can be mistaken for also dealing with negative feelings, it is more about what those negative feelings invoke than directly the negative feelings itself, so for example, angry people tend to tunnel vision, which is a limitation which is rage's domain yoo sangah's story beats weave both rage and void very well, for rage for example is dictated with limitations, being controlled, having to bend to peoples wills and or being cornered into "one option" "one way" ie: her parents wanting her to get married, becoming a vessel to all of olympus for power, to kill or not to kill, morality. this is mostly prominent in the first half of the story but also secrets and the unknown being a major part of her story too in the second half ie: her story's culmination has her becoming a vessel of samsara (which deals with huge themes of nothingness/void and transcending it, something from nothing and nothing from something), she breaks through the fourth wall and has literal access to all the information and secrets of the world which also symbolizes her as one of the characters most prominently "outside of the story" even if she has been playing within its bounds this entire time, when she enters the fourth wall she isn't bound by the story anymore and is generally a "mysterious" character much like dokja she keeps her cards close to her chest and constantly has a mask on she understands others but no one ever understands her (well some close exceptions I expect that we aren't shown but this is just from my memory in the story) she admires dokja specifically because he felt "unlimited" to her from the start, when she was mad and put hot sauce in her bosses coffee (or was it salt instead of sugar, something like that) and dokja didnt snitch her in as she expected she saw that there are people living outside the bounds of the system of society which intersected morality which she valued and used it against her continuedly, dokja didnt care, dokja wasnt playing the game of "life" dokja just wanted to read, thats all he valued, and to yoo sangah who wants to live a life she is happy with, found that notion appealing because dokja was doing it seemingly to her with minimal effort while she was playing a game trapped in an ivory tower of her own creation, she wants freedom from the system but isnt satisfied unless she is playing it well (her also being a very good gamer plays into this too) her being a rage player would work great as a foil to dokja because thats what she is in the story, someone like dokja, a reader and she was participating in her own story and limiting herself while dokja was completely checked out of his own story/life till ORV and thats why she is continuedly commenting on how different he is after the fall

this also plays into her being a seer very prominently, seers are a passive understanding class (analogous to mage) a seers journey is to learn to stop participating in the game, and instead start directing it, they are not pieces on the chessboard no matter how competent they think they will be at it, they collect information and direct how its used by others

that's why yoo sangah's self actualization in the story is to take herself out of it and start directing it using the fourth wall that's when she grows most comfortable into herself and stops suffering in dissatisfaction

I want to lean towards seer of rage, for the symmetry of it to dokja but seer of void works just as well and still maintains half that symmetry with her being a seer and plays well with the space aspect of hsy

Jung heewon - knight of heart

Heart is the very core of your soul, who you are and your internal emotional desires, compassion etc jung heewons story is dictated by morality, right and wrong, and how she specifically feels about the injustices around she has a strong sense of self which aids her in her story however she is very insecure and hides it well knights are an active exploitation class, they are one of the most powerful classes in the game they know how to wield and exploit their aspect to its fullest potential which mirrors her power level in the story, however they are mostly doing so because they lack it and or are afraid of losing it a knights journey as I mentioned above is to stop being insecure in their aspect and overcompensating for it, jung heewons story starts off immediately as someone who has failed and died and wasnt in the original, lacking a presence or self in the story, she is able to thrive due to being given and shown compassion by dokja, however she is still insecure in her ability to maintain that connection and it shows prominently every time dokja kills himself her arc culminates in her stopping relying on others for right and wrong and instead be confident in herself and her judgements

honorable mention of knights often being compared to tools because of how useful they are just like she is compared to a good sword a lot in the story

lee hyunsung - page of blood

Blood deals with interpersonal connections, being grounded, loyalty lee hyunsung's story beats all deal with connections he is one of the most grounded characters in the story, he cares about the story because its not a story, its his world and he will protect the people in his world.

page is the passive version of knight and exploitation class, (like how seer is the passive version of mage) they also are insecure in their lack of aspect and overcompensate badly for it, lee hyunsung holds on to being the perfect soldier and shield when his entire story is about letting go of that past and to think for himself, lee hyungsung lets his connections with others guide him and control him and thats why he is continuedly exploited by dokja and yjh page is also notorious for taking a long time to "reach its culmination" dokja exploits this and tries to speed it up and we get to see him reaching his full potential going from someone who is "passive" and the ultimate shield for his friends to a sword who knows who he is truly loyal a position akin to jung heewon's

[madebysimblr]

where would you recommend starting from in your legacy?

HI!! There's a few places I think that would be good to start, but it really depends on how much reading you want to do!

From the VERY Beginning Pros: You know all the lore, and I genuinely thing it's interesting to see where I started vs. where I am now. If you do start from here and read all the way through you get a medal!! Cons: It started 7 years ago and there's a LOT to read.

From the Start of Gen 3 - Xavier Pros: This is my first favorite era of the legacy, I really adore Xavier's story and the inter-cutting between a few other sims. Not as much to catch up on. Cons: Unless you read the tail end of Gen 2 you will be a little confused about some of the circumstances. (So really starting from Gen 2.3 might be wiser lol)

**From Gen 3.4 - Starting to Focus on Sorella** This is probably where I would suggest someone start if they specifically are interested in what I've been posting recently! Sorella is my current heir, and I think it's good to know her backstory. We are gonna be spending a lot of time with her. :)

Any of those would be pretty decent starting points IMO! Also, if you think you're missing out on context for certain characters- everyone sorta important I do tag by name. So you could also just look thru their tag if you want extra info :D Happy reading!!!!
