the episode went as follows: it is from a later season where Sheldon is engaged to a woman named Amy. she is clearly supposed to be seen as the frumpy geek girl who's matching Sheldon's nerd energy but in fact just looks like a normal woman who doesn't have TV face but I digress. the episode is about their bachelor/ette parties. for Amy's she's saying to the other girls "now I don't want anything CRAZY" so they throw her a quiet quilting bee with tea and sobriety and eventually she's like... AUGH! I WANTED TO GET DRAGGED TO THE CLUB!! and they say "but you love quilting and you hate clubs!" and she's like yeah but I wanted to TRY IT!! and they say OKAY and go to a club and she wakes up hungover looking like hell no memories and they say yeah you river danced on the bar and ground on firefighter themed strippers and she says Oh my god. (It is later revealed that in fact she took 2 shots and passed out at 9pm but she doesn't know this)
Sheldon's "bachelor party" is a roadtrip to visit a temporality scientist of some sort who he idolized. the boys come along because this scientist is kind of a crackpot who lives alone in a cabin in the mountains. Sheldon and the guy are getting along really well but he at one point mentions he has a wife but she lives in Munich and the extent of their relationship is most years they send each other a birthday card and an update on their research and when he leaves the room at one point Sheldon is kind of quietly like... I want to go home.
last scene is Sheldon and Amy lying in bed together and he says "would you still love me if it turns out I'm not the single-minded, science-obsessed recluse who puts his work above everything and everybody else that you fell in love with" and she says "would you still love me if I were a river dancing wild woman" and I have been thinking about this. ever since. Would you still love me if my love for you changed me. I am better because of you and that change makes me uncertain can I still be certain of you. If we change together will you still love me then. The cold open of this episode is one of the boys saying "if Bruce Banner rents a car would the Hulk be covered by his car insurance" and another boy says "you really need a girlfriend" and this is presented as funny
My gym keeps putting on The Big Bang Theory on the TVs for inscrutable reasons (can't imagine why anyone would want to watch The Big Bang Theory while they lift) (all the stairs machines are pointed at the same three TVs so I can't really get away but also they have it on multiple other TVs too) (I asked them to change it from SVU when I first started there because good god I don't want to watch a prolonged and painful csa story while I lift either and they put it on Nat Geo briefly and then changed it to The Big Bang Theory and if I ask them to change it they do but by the next time I'm there it's back on The Big Bang Theory) which means I did recently watch a full episode of The Big Bang Theory that was so shockingly good I'm still thinking about it
#.txt#legend of drizzt symptom where the diamond in the rough fascinates me far more than the kay jewelers#also because it was at the gym I didn't have to hear the laugh tracks which I think improved my experience exponentially#also I do still know the whole theme song.#0.1k#mistakes

They will sing songs of our legacy, weave tales of the blood we spilled and the hearts we stole. We have carved our names in history, my dove, using the lives of the guilty. And once you are appointed, you too will be marked in legend.
DEMO TBA | CHARACTER POSTS
Genre: dark, crime, romance, gangs
Setting: fictional world of Hera, ancient times
You are the Dove, the heir to one of the most powerful crime families in your country. The grip your family--your father--has on their side of the land is tight, and now that you've reached adulthood it's time for you to be fully absorbed into the machinations of gang warfare. That means opium, mercenaries, assassinations. In this ancient world, blood moves people just as much as money does.
But your family is not the only family with a steel-like grip on Hera. The Dimas family have been your rivals for centuries, a blood feud fueling the anger on both sides. You both fight for territories, for money, terrorize innocent civilians and throw them in a fight they never asked to be part of. Eventually it must end...and eventually it will come down to you and the Viper, the rival heir.
But when murders and kidnappings crop up on both sides of families, the blood feud grows larger. Because there is an even bigger threat coming, and a blood war may be the only way to get out of it.
Viper & Dove is a dark romantic interactive fiction that follows two crime families in a blood feud taking place in ancient times. It is rated 18+ for violence, explicit themes, possible sexual content, and gore.
Customize your heir from name, appearance, gender identity, pronouns, demeanor and more. Customize their approach to their position and how they feel about their family and their responsibilities.
Choose a weapon of choice like a sword, throwing knives, and more.
Choose what kind of heir you want to be, and how far you're willing to go to protect your title from your endless siblings...who are various shades of bloodthirsty.
Indulge in romances that go from a doomed Romeo & Juliet narrative to a bully arranged-marriage romance to a bodyguard romance.
more features to come.
Talon/Thea 'The Viper' Dimas (m/f) : the eldest and heir to your rival family, neither of you can live while the other one breathes. Everyone is waiting with baited breath for the day you two come face to face for a fight to the death to finally bring an end to a century long rivalry...in blood. The day seems to be inching closer, and you wonder if you're prepared.
You are forbidden to see them. Forbidden to speak to them. Romancing them grants a punishment in blood.
Romance: enemies to lovers, forbidden lovers, heirs to rival families, Romeo & Juliet-esque
Alastair (m): your father's advisor, his second-hand man. He is serious, distant, and treats you with neutrality, mostly because of who you are. He oversees everything your father does and your father trusts him with his life. Romancing you would mean certain death for him.
Romance: forbidden romance
Shadow (real name unknown) (m/f): the family's head assassin and lapdog for your father, indebted to him like a prisoner. They have killed many, and their deaths pile up in a way that keeps them quiet and isolated. They do not speak, least of all to you, and you rarely see them underneath their assassins garb.
Romance: forbidden romance
Kalis Dimas (f): the twin of your rival. Even though she is a Dimas, you feel she has no interest in the blood feud. She is too kind, too pure. If anyone were to find you speaking to her--especially her very protective twin--the results could be detrimental to you both.
Romance: forbidden romance
Oren/Odessa (m/f): your betrothed. They are mean, rude, and a bully, and yet you are expected to wed them. After all these years of them bullying you, tormenting you, how could it possibly change?
Romance: bully romance, arranged marriage
Kai/ Kara: (m/f): your childhood best friend. Your guard. The one meant to protect you. They were once an orphan, then found and employed by your father to keep you safe. They take their duty seriously, lest they get thrown out again.
Romance: bodyguard romance, forbidden
Raven/Rome: (m/f) your personal maid/butler, hailing from the servant family that has served yours for generations. They don't look you in the eye and don't dare speak. Some might find their overt politeness endearing.
This is my first interactive-fiction story and I hope you like it. Reblogs are always appreciated, thank you! :)

Female Duckverse Characters - Six (Eight) Fanarts - Ducktales - Duckverse characters - Duckvember - Prestigious, Placid, Mechanical, Psychedelic, Otherwordly, Tenacious and Obscure Ducks (plus parrot and human goddess) - My style
I haven’t drawn a table with Duckverse/Donald Duck universe/Ducktales characters in a long time, and I’ve been in debt to female characters, so I drew a separate table with my favorite female characters from Duckverse and drew it the way I like it. Since I don’t have the means to scan it, I did a table of six or eight characters in my own way. If you want to see previous drawings with these Ducktales/Duckverse tables, check out my drawings from last year:
And I also did something related to the Duckvember themes (Prestigious, Placid, Mechanical, Psychedelic, Otherwordly, Tenacious and Obscure Ducks), which I think these characters fit into. I drew Daisy Duck (from Ducktales 2017 in her awesome dress), Della Duck (also from Ducktales 2017 as a pilot, plus she has ponytail hair because I prefer her that way, otherwise I prefer the comic version of her, although of course the DT17 version is not bad either, otherwise Donald's sister and mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie), Morgana Macawber (from OG Darkwing Duck, a witch from Transylvania and Darkwing Duck's girlfriend), Dickie Duck (Paperetta Yè-Yè, a teenage duck from Italian comics (Topolino) created by Romano Scarpa, although she also appears in Brazilian comics), Rosinha Maria Vaz (Rosita, Rosinha or Maria certainly refers to the Brazilian parrot lady and José Carioca's girlfriend), Xandra (the goddess of adventure from The Legend of The Three Caballeros series, one of my favorite human characters in the Duckverse, and I haven't drew her in a long time), Kay K (Arianne Konnery or Arianna Adelaide who works for The Agency and is a partner of Double Duck (Donald Duck), and was once his girlfriend from the Double Duck comics) and Lyla Lay (a reporter for Channel 00, an agent for the Time Police and comes from the 23rd century to fight The Organization and is often a partner of Duck Avenger (Paperinik-Donald Duck), of course she is a female duck android created by Leonard Vertighel from the PKNA (Paperinix New Adventures) comics) in my own style.
Unfortunately, I made some mistakes while drawing (especially Rosinha's left hand) where my drawing almost fell apart, but I managed to put it together. I hope you like this selection and these female characters. Yes, I drew them in my own style. I hope you like this. If you like this, just like and reblog this! And please don’t copy my ideas and my style of these characters without my permission. Thank you!
And this is intended for @darkwingsnark, as part of Duckvember (or rather Duckmber).

Hi so got any ninjago x reader recs? Ever since reading Wisps, it has affected my brain chemistry and now i crave for more ninjago x reader content but im picky when finding fics, so got any recommendations?
Hello there! I had fun sorting out my bookmarks and history so recommending fics might be a thing in the future?
Just to note, I am not sure how to really curate your taste so most of these are what I essentially enjoyed reading and been a fan of so forgive me if some (or all 😭 no hard feelings though) aren't your thing.
Let's see...
Honestly Wisps is the *best* so far in my opinion! I don't know if this is pure coincidental but I am also hunting for some ninjago fics to feel emotions again lmao! And I tried my best in remembering what I've read or interested in so hope these are all ok for you!
+ Second best in my opinion is the 'Infinity Series' by Joos according to their quotev because at ao3 it's orphaned [ao3; quotev book 1 & book 2 ]
Unfortunately, the author has stopped updating this fic but going back at it was really enjoyable like in the Wisps. The summary according to the first installment 'Infinite Serenity';
"[Name] has died and became reincarnated in a childhood TV show of hers. She is raised as the adopted daughter of Sensei Wu, training as the Master of Infinity. Once the plot of the show really gets going, a being resurfaces from her. They claim to have revived her and can help her unlock the memories from her previous life. Now, [Name] must rely on this being to help protect Ninjago, and discovers how her past connects with her present." TW: Suicide, self harm, child abuse, some gore and swearing (please pay attention to the tags)
Please please heed the trigger warning, I don't remember much from the content but I definitely recall the author tackling those tags in a respectful way. The love interests are Kai, Nya, Jay, Cole, Morro and platonic with Master Wu and her cousin Lloyd Garmadon. Again, second best recommended fic in my opinion.
+ Next one, this is not one series but user Circus4APsycho8 (they have ao3 and tumblr) in my opinion have the best x reader one-shots from the fandom! My all-time favorite work of theirs is 'Secret Someone' [Highschool AU! Lloyd Garmadon x reader]- this one is really sweet ❣️
Here's these links for their ao3 works and their tumblr ninjago masterlist. All simple yet sweet, I love their writing style.
+ The next one is purely Lloyd Garmadon x Female Reader titled 'Butterfly Effect' by samsea at ao3. I think they're still updating and I am a big fan of hero x civilian pairings and just they're cute and in love.
Summary: "If it was up to Y/n L/n, she would read the summer away, lost in history books and adventure novels, finding excitement in their written words. Meeting Lloyd Garmadon changed her plans. Suddenly, Y/n is living a life she'd only read about; summer romances and cotton candy dates. Perhaps this was a new normal she could get used to. But she's been fated - prophesied - to be with the Green Ninja. And where there's a green ninja, trouble usually follows." Warnings: "The butterfly effect has mature themes such as gore, violence, toxic friendships, sexual themes (no smut) and cussing. the butterfly effect is not intended for younger viewers. Trigger warnings will be placed on chapters as they are needed. if you have any questions or issues please contact me."
Again, heed the warnings but the writing and atmosphere overall is really sweet and for some reason all cuddly and sunny. IDK but maybe I am always soft for Lloyd lmao.
+ If you're up to reading only x reader head cannons then I recommend user mouschiwrites here in tumblr. Their requests are closed now but the head cannons they made are cute and entertaining, like I can definitely see this character doing that y'know. Here's their ninjago masterlist
+ Here's some honorable mentions, I believe they deserve some love too!
In the Shadow (Various love interests) by RoseRain at Quotev
Legend of the Lightspirit (Various love interests) by softie at Quotev
Actually, while finishing my school projects I'm also checking out from another user snazzilystoopid's ninjago recommendation. So far, I am enjoying their second recommended which is 'Element of Wishes' by yourfavoritecloud at quotev BUT this one is an Character x OC one so if it's not up to your alley they have few recommendations. Honestly, I am up to anything as long as it entertained my monkey brain.
Sorry for the long post! Hope these works are okay for your taste but the closest fic that gives off the same vibes as Wisps is the Infinite series. And these are all by my own opinions and the fics I remembered catching my eye. I am very much open to other recommendations or shout-outs.
Side note, there's not much Ninjago fics out there that I might let my monkey brain loose and create one myself LOOOL.
Again, thank you for asking ( I feel honored for being asked by this, I'm a fanfic nerd 🤓)

Questions for Wish Granted
Will Magnifico have a villain theme? (Like the Prowler theme from Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse and Kai’s Theme from Kung Fu Panda 3?)
Does Star have other relatives? (Like Grandparents, Cousins, Aunts or uncles?)
If you're going to rewrite the song called “Knowing What i Know Now” would you replace the beginning lyrics “Magnifico is not the man he claims to be” with “The King and Queen are not the gods they claim to be”?
Will there be any monsters to release from Magnifico’s Book?
Does the Seven Teens have families
If Star’s parents and siblings appears in here, who will voice them?
Hey there! Sorry for the late response, but I'm more than happy to answer your questions!
I have been considering giving him one, but I don't quite know what kind if theme he should have. If I find one that fits, then I'll use it.
He does! However, they've all gone separate ways. The one he does remember is his cousin Missy. (referencing that one concept art about Star turning into a T-Rex and wanting to find dinosaurs) She wanted to go to Earth to and meet the dinosaurs, but he's not sure if she made it since he hasn't seen her in years. (referring to the above picture)
That's a great idea! It sounds a lot stronger, and it cleverly references "Our Message to the People" where they want to be worshipped as such. Thanks so much for the idea!
No monsters from the book, but there are a couple references to Chernabog, Bill Cipher and The Horned King. They mostly use the book to create the ultimate spell in which they use their wedding rings to absorb the dark magic. Together they're going to use it to overpower Star. Magnifico gets more greedy later though and combining the dark magic with people's wishes turns him into a monster.
Yes, they all have families! Though they vary in size. For example, Gabo has only a mother but no siblings, Dahlia has parents grandparents and cousins, and Dario has lots of siblings.
They don't appear in the regular story, but I do give then some bonus scenes later. Star's mother is voiced by Anne Hathaway and Star's father is voiced by Chris Pine. (If you get this reference, you're a legend) His siblings, I'm not sure yet.
Thanks so much, @portalmaster18! 👍
Here's some new lore, guys!

Are there more stories about what demons Erlang has faced? Or more stories about him or where his character is included? I'm aware of Journey to the West, fsyy, the story with his mother and Lotus Lantern, but I was wondering if there were other stories where his character appears.
There are a lot of stories with him but they are more like legends than like narrative tales so to speak. Xiyouji, FSYY, and Lotus Lantern are novels and plays that allow full narratives that Erlang Shen features in but none really show the full extent of his character as he is more of a feature character than ever the protagonist.
Erlang's control of water is Erlang Shen's first and greatest achievement was water control and water control and made him a famous water god. With Erlang God's water control as the core, it radiates into legends such as killing dragons and slaying dragons.
Carrying mountains to catch the sun was from the Kaixi Period of the Song Dynasty, the "Inscription of the Induction of King Zhaohui Lingxian" describes the Erlang Shen as "the majesty of disturbing the mountain to take advantage of the sun, and the bravery of crossing the sea to capture the dragon.
The legend of Erlang Shen leading his divine soldiers and generals to search the mountains and succumb to demons can be found in the volume "Searching the Mountains", also known as the "Erlang Shen Searching the Mountains".
In the Five Dynasties, there is a legend about Erlang capturing an evil dragon. "Shu Shu": "The New Year's Banquet in June, "Guankou Divine Team" by Jiaofang Haiyu. The image of the two dragons fighting, the sky and the earth were dark for a moment, and there was heavy rain and hail. The Qing Dynasty's "Sichuan General Chronicle" locks the dragon: " It is said that Erlang locked the evil dragon in it. When frost falls and water falls, you may sometimes see it locked in the clouds."
In the Song Dynasty, there were a lot of themes of Erlang killing dragons. The Erlang who spent money usually rode an eagle and followed the dog. The entourage held a bow and stood a three-pointed two-edged sword beside him to subdue the dragon or the dragon transformed into a human body.
In the early days, Erlang Shen's divinity mainly came from Li Bing, who controlled floods. Guankou Erlang Shen controlled wind and rain, and Li Erlang's main deeds were also to capture dragons and control floods.
The "Stele Record of the Divine Blessing King" written by Zhou Hu of the Southern Song Dynasty (1170-1231) records that in 1206 AD, that is, the second year of Kaixi, Erlang Shen helped him fight against the Jin Dynasty and achieved a major turning point. Therefore, Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty named Erlang Shen "Saint Martyr Zhaohui to protect the country".
As the belief in Erlang Shen spread widely, the priesthood of Erlang Shen also expanded as he was seen as a protector of the country's spirit. The "Nangong County Chronicle" of the Republic of China quoted Lu Zhongfu from Jin Zhangzong as saying: "In the autumn of the fifth year of Zhenglong (1160), the giant locusts covered the sky and ate all the acres. There were reports of hunger everywhere, the price of grain soared, and county people rushed to pray at the temple of Erlang Shen. The locusts dispersed and did not stay in the area. Fortunately, they were harmless at this time."
Erlang Shen is not only a god with vast supernatural powers and remarkable spiritual responses, but he was also regarded as the god of drama in the Ming Dynasty and was worshiped by Liyuan.
The Cuju industry also respects Erlang as the god of the industry and follows his character of playing games in the world.
Erlang God was revered as the "Lord of Sichuan" and became the god who protected the people of Sichuan from living and working in peace and contentment.
Song Zhang Tangying's " Sichuan Prayer " records: "(Qiande) in the second year of August, (Wang) Yan patrolled the north, and Prime Minister Wang Kai judged the guards of the six armies. The banners and flags were inexhaustible for hundreds of miles. Yan's military uniforms, Wearing golden armor, a beaded hat, and brocade sleeves, he holds a bow and carries an arrow. The people look at him and say he is like a 'guan-kou god'." Erlang Shen is equipped with a hound, an eagle, and a slingshot. It is a standard image of the hunting god, capable of restraining birds, beasts, mountain spirits, and wild monsters.
Because Erlang Shen carried a slingshot, he was attached to the function of delivering children by later generations. Because the slingshot is homophonic with "birth", it means birth. Almost every Erlang temple has people seeking children, which is the basic priesthood of Erlang Shen.
Tianqi was built in southern Fujian during the Chongzhen period of the Fengshan Ancestral Temple in the Ming Dynasty, the belief in Erlang Shen has formed a water god worship with strong local characteristics of southern Fujian in southern Fujian. There are now three statues in the Fengshan Ancestral Temple, which are called "Ambassador", "Second Ambassador" and "Third Ambassador", and "Ambassador" is the Erlang Shen in people's minds
I'm taking this all from his page so if you want a more detailed explanation I would suggest looking it into yourself because there is SO MUCH information about Erlang Shen being such a well-known figure and hero of legend that no way I can fit it all in one post but I hope this gives people an idea just how grand Erlang Shen's legend is and just how rich in both history and lore he is!

no bc you’re SO right that kai is WAY weaker as a villain than tai lung or shen (shen especially, bc imo he’s the best villain of the trilogy) and i’d love to hear your thoughts on why <3
100% agree shen is my FAVORITE villain of the trilogy and possibly one of my favorite villains of all time. and tai lung is an incredibly close second! however, i really didn't care for kai.
the biggest thing about kai for me is that, as a villain, he is way weaker than the other two because he is extremely lacking in a personal connection to po, and also much weaker when considering how his character reflects the themes and narrative of the movie as a whole.
tai lung, as a villain, worked so well because he was obsessed with the concept of being the dragon warrior, and the supposed "power" that would come with that. the lesson of kfp1, though, was that there WAS no real magical power given by the scroll - there is no secret ingredient! it's just you! it was never about the scroll; it was about choosing to be good and do good for the sake of being good, not because you wanted power for it. tai lung couldn't accept this, which is why he made a fantastic villain for this one, thematically. (and ALSO a fantastic foil to po, who is so humble and doesn't NEED power, he's just passionate about kung fu and wants to have a good time with his friends.)
lord shen as a villain who reflects the themes of the story, though, takes this to the absolute HIGHEST level. the entire story of kfp2 pivots around po's struggle to reconcile his origins with who he is now, and both of those things are directly related to shen - he leads the massacre that ends up getting po sent away, which sets him on the journey to BECOME the dragon warrior, and po's destiny was always going to be to defeat him. both then and now, the course of po's life is being shaped by shen. shen is also a fantastic foil to po in the same way that tai lung was - shen cannot let go of the past, he clings to his anger and his fear; while po is able to accept what happened, accept that it is part of who he is but not what defines him, and is able to find healing and peace.
kai, by comparison........ has almost nothing to do with po. kai actually has NO personal connection to po! his evil scheme is related to the pandas, but absolutely nothing to do with po, specifically. tai lung had no shared past with po the way lord shen did, but he still had personal and specific reasons to hate po because po was getting the title and role that he so desperately wanted. but kai's only beef is with oogway! he didn't even seem to know that po existed until oogway says "it was never my destiny to stop you - i have set another on that path." and kai just says "then i will find him, and take his chi as well." his motives are also much weaker than the other two's - who both wanted power, yes, but tai lung was also deeply desperate to make shifu proud, to live up to the legend that he had been raised to believe he would become, and part of this was shifu's fault! that's extremely interesting and tragic!! and shen was motivated by fear - fear of his prophecized defeat, of the inescapability of his fate - and by grief over his (perceived) inability to make his parents proud, or get them to love him. kai, by contrast, was..... mad that oogway wasn't okay with letting him become a magical chi-stealing warlord??
kai also doesn't tie in with the themes or po's arc in this movie. in terms of other characters, po's arc in this one revolves way more around his fathers - trying to handle his new responsibilities of being the teacher to the five, trying to figure out how to balance the two different identities he has as the son of these two different fathers, but the only connection he has to kai is that he needs to be a master of chi to defeat him, which he can only learn how to be from the pandas, which incidentally happen to be his family. (and the fact that at the end, everyone is doing chi makes it seem like him being a panda or not might not have even been that relevant to begin with!) and kai's defeat is also sort of weak - he's defeated by the "too much power" trope, but nothing else in this story was about being power-hungry or the dangers of it. it wasn't something any of the pandas struggled with, hunger for power was NEVER a part of po's journey, and at least in kfp1 tai lung's desire for the dragon scroll was about more than just power (he wanted to make shifu proud), but also, because the entire theme of that story was that you didn't NEED power to be the dragon warrior. kfp3's narrative isn't ABOUT power; it's about identity and culture and balancing different aspects of your life to find your truest self. kai's character has nothing to say about ANY of this, he doesn't struggle with or care about any of these things - he is JUST power-hungry.
he also lacks that character foil aspect the other two had. the ability to take chi is never even presented as an option to po. what MIGHT have been interesting would have been if the only way to defeat kai was to take HIS chi - something a master of it would be able to do! - and po was forced into the dilemma of having to choose between risking going down the same path as kai for the sake of protecting his loved ones, or the risk of endangering them even more by refusing to. if the conflict had been about the good vs evil uses of chi powers, then that would have made kai a foil to po as well. but as it is now, kai has nothing to do with po, personally.
basically what it boils down to is that kai, as a villain, is serviceable, but when held up in contrast to the previous two, it becomes very obvious how much weaker he is narratively. his motivations are much shallower than the others', his connection to po is tangential at best, and as an antagonist, he doesn't have anything to say about the themes or messaging of the story OR the protagonist's arc.
#i said 'this one is gonna be a way shorter rant' and then promptly made myself eat those fucking words#WHY IS THIS SO LONGGGG FHGHSHFHSGHSDSGH#well. kung fu panda rant be upon ye#i had no idea how many thoughts i had about this until i started writing fhjfdgfdjgk#mine#long post#kung fu panda#kung fu panda 3#kfp#kfp3#kfp 3#rory rambles about movies#analysis

EXO "Obsession" theory part 1
Lucky One Theory | the Cube
• Let's first dive into the main theme before exploring other details. Obsession makes us wonder whether X-EXO are evil clones. On the contrary Baek mentioned something similar in their behind the scenes video (pls click on individual screencaps to read):
The boys are involved in this good v. evil fight as we know. Now that we have the theme of alter egos confirmed I wanted to mention there is a song on the album called Jekyll (지킬) the idea is borrowed from R. L. Stevenson's book and makes it easy to connect the dots. The lyrics of the song make it clear about the main plot of this era so we move on...
• Chen plays a game of chess with his evil counterpart. At the end there are certain pieces that remain - knight, knight, 4 pawns idk how this is valid since if a king is in checkmate the game ends conventionally.
I believe Chen and his counterpart are the knights. Now knights + pawns = 6 members in comeback. This might mean that Chen is in control and knows things which the other 5 don't since they are just "pawns" for the time being. He is also the only good guy remaining or smth out of these 6 and others might have been corrupted or defeated??!
I believe Chën won.
There are multiple footages of their chess board too: it might mean each of their actions is being watched by the RF. But I'm still not sure why they have the screens in their room (since Chen has the power of Thunder which could roughly go with electricity?). Is Chen keeping an eye on Chën?
• Moving on.. Chanyeøl is the one in center when the song begins. He is also the only member with eye-catching continuous patterns on his outfit. Something about Chanyeol seems a little off. I have started thinking of reasons for his behavior and vulnerability which I'll surely discuss another time :)
Clearly they emphasize how Chanyeøl is the leader of X-EXO or smth, like the most destructive force. In the mv all of X-EXO (except Sehůn) glow red but we see that only Chanyeol (special emphasis on red eyes) looks like that. This makes me think he is consumed by his evil ego:
Chanyeol and his X-EXO counterpart engage in a physical battle using fire:
At one point Chanyeøl is engulfed by fire as they fight and later we see Chanyeol radiating flames. He is also seen on the red side of the ground, encircled by the fire - hence it is clear he loses the fight. More explained about the fate of doubles in part 2
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR!! 😀
• Kai is a biker and his scenes with Kāi reminds us of bullfighting. In the first gif below, we see how Kai tries to dodge his matador counterpart:
There are negative versions of Kai and his evil counterpart (maybe they fight in two different worlds since we know Kai teleports like in MAMA). I'm unsure who wins the fight since both appear with subdued expressions in inverted colors.
I'll also mention that in the performance video of EXO AND X-EXO, Kāi and Kai interact:
• In this picture we see there are 12 rooms → for the original 12 "legends". Only 6 members took part in this comeback so the other rooms are empty (Luhan Tao and 🥴 belong to the rooms below but were trapped in the maze). Notice how Kai is in the center of the OT9 rooms — he is the key to something. From Japanese, Kai translates to Recovery in English: it could mean protection and restoration of the tree of life to its prosperous state since "tree of life and the heart slowly grew dry" in MAMA intro. This is something very important to revert to as we unravel their clues to the story.
•We see exo playing video games/reading comics in some teaser photos of other releases, the vcr from their EXplOration Dot (Day 1, Seoul) and even Power mv and merch reflects this vibe - which makes sense that the battle at such a physical level is fictitious (and being endured mentally). These might be dreams the boys have after the RF drugged them or possibly influenced them in some way.
Another thing is that the drugs induced by the RF (Lucky One) might have smth to do with the creation of alter egos. The boys try to fight the evil versions of themselves but they were created so that RF takes control over the good Exo who foil their plans and to exploit their powers.
_oh well that's all for now, I will create a part 2 to incorporate it all. Have a nice day!!⭐

Given the whole beheading thing, I get why Gawain & the Green Knight isn't something that most people turn to at Christmas (like they do with the Nutcracker). But the Arthurian legend overall seems totally primed for it. Christmas/New Year messaging, kind of a messiah figure, plus Jesus-y themes overall (and the legends were getting some love in Victorian times when we're getting Scrooge, etc). But it doesn't break through. Curious if you know of any Arthuriana that plays up the Christmas ties?
Hello there!
The Yuletide seasonal festivities are absolutely mentioned in a number of texts, albeit less so than in Sir Gawain and The Green Knight. In the Vulgate, specifically The Story of Merlin, Arthur pulls the sword from the stone at a Christmas Eve joust.
By this same token, the movie adaptation The Sword in the Stone (1963) shows this exact joust taking place in the winter. So that's more accurate than pretty much all the other adaptations of that scene.
Christmas is an auspicious time throughout the Vulgate. In Lancelot Part III, Galehaut even thought to have himself crowned king at Christmas when all of Arthur's court could bear witness.
He changed his mind about stealing the throne for heterosexual reasons.
In Perlesvaus, an indication of Arthur's decline as a great king is that he stops holding court at Christmas. (Copying the quote here because the scan of this page is rough.)
For ten years was King Arthur in such a position, with no king on earth so highly esteemed as he, until a weakness suddenly beset his resolve and he began to lose his former passion for great deeds. He would not hold court at Christmas, nor at Easter, nor at Pentecost. The knights of the Round Table, seeing his prowess decline, began to leave and shun his court. Of 370 knights he had had in his household, he now had no more than twenty-five at the most.
And then on the opposite end of the spectrum from that, the German story The Crown by Heinrich von dem Türlin opens with a Christmas Festival to show how awesome Arthur is.
Arthur literally sends Kay to Spain to fetch stallions to give away as party favors to the guests. What's that John Steinbeck quote? "Kay must be mean so the king can be generous." Yeah, exactly.
So Christmas is in virtually every [long] Arthurian text, at least a little bit. There's nothing I can suggest as intensely Christmas-themed as SGATGK with the constant color symbolism and whatnot, but you can literally crack open almost any [long] Arthurian text and search "Christmas" to find something. Exceptions include King Artus, obviously, as in that version, the cast is Jewish!
I hope that gives you some ideas of where to look for more Christmas Arthuriana. Happy Holidays!

Saw your character opinion thing..
Opinion on Venoct or Hovernyan from ykw?
OOOH I WILL GIVE MY OPINIONS ON BOTH!
First off, Venoct. Y'know it's kinda funny talking about it but he was one of the first fictional crushes I had as a kid. Guess I just really liked dark, broody, mysterious characters at the time. Says a lot about me lmao. My opinion of him is mostly based on the first and second games as I have not caught up on the anime and haven't played YKW3 (curse you, Eshop closing). My opinion of him is he's overall an extremely chill guy who does his job of protecting Springdale great as seen by how he's the one who helped the player out of Terror Time in YKW1. He's super badass and his design is beautiful. I have some things planned with him for my Kirby Yo-Kai Watch AU uehehehe~
Now for Hovernyan. I love him, I love him so much. His heroic, sassy personality is enough to make anyone admire him as a character and his witty comebacks make me wheeze every time, especially the "I said 'legend has it,' not 'Hovernyan has it'" line. His character throughout the game is amazing and it shows how much he truly cares for Nathaniel/Kenny and his other Yo-Kai friends. He's a very kindhearted hero and will do anything, including sacrificing himself, to keep his friends safe. He encapsulates the main theme of the Yo-Kai Watch franchise as a whole, make friends and they'll support you through thick and thin. Unlike Venoct, I do know a lot about him from the anime, and well, my opinion of him still stands. Though, I would like to talk about how well his fight scenes make him look even more heroic than he already is. The humor in the first and second movies with him is incredible, I MEAN HE FUCKIN YEETS JIBANYAN INTO WHISPER IN THE SECOND MOVIE. Overall, I love Hovernyan so much as a character, he's probably one of my top favorite Yo-Kai of all in the franchise. And also like Venoct, I have plans for him as well in my Kirby Yo-Kai Watch AU mwehehehe
#I AM SO HAPPY TO GET A YKW ASK THANK YOU ANON#ask#ask game#anon ask#asks#yokai#yokai watch#yo kai watch#kirby yo kai watch au#venoct#hovernyan
