#six eggs

[i-drop-art-in-your-asks]

Do you guys know that riddle going around about the eggs??

Well if not, it goes something like this:

"I have SIX EGGS. I cracked TWO, I fried TWO, and I ate TWO... How many eggs are there left?"

Now, I hope everyone is paying attention because I have developed a visual example of this word problem.

It starts with a half-dozen of eggs, in their carton...

Take two (as indicated by the circled portion of the carton) and crack them into a frying pan...

Now, you can't fry an egg with the shell ON and your pan already has some in it, right? So, you would fry the eggs you cracked earlier.

Why would you try to eat a whole, raw egg, let alone two? What do you think you are, a snake? You JUST fried two perfectly good eggs and you think you should go anaconda on the ones left in the fridge? Eat the fried eggs! You wouldn't bake cookies and then turn around and spoon raw flour into your mouth, would you?

Now, look back at the carton... How many eggs are NOT circled?? That's the answer.

I was so frustrated trying to explain this to my "stepdad???" that I had to draw the problem out to ensure that I'm not going insane....

He has yet to see it but I'm going to find someplace where he has no choice but to see it.

Can Killie have half an egg for this finished sock?maybe just the yolk? I did only plan to finish the first one this month. The second one will take a few more months.

That’s legitimately one of the most beautiful socks I’ve ever seen, and I have seen a lot of socks!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to look at this. That definitely counts, even if I’m bad at counting.

How about ghost monkey au with slow boiled stone egg au and penumbra au sprinkled in. I wonder how Macaque would react to finding his mate holding two baby monkies, Rumble and Savage?

Ohhh baby monkeys!!

Macaque probably would start crying if he found Wukong cradling his remaining shadows - the last signs of his chi on earth. The twin girls (+their weaker concept-art little brother Thunder) are natural shadow wielders.

And one was "born" (if you consider collapsing into a baby from a shadow-clone overloaded with chi, a birth) with his all-hearing ears, leading to an unexpected side-effect....

Rumble: (*tumbles out of a shadow, toddle-runs toward her parent!*) Wukong, holding Savage: "Oh? My little earthquake, what's the matter?" Rumble: (*impatient/excited hopping! Starts manipulating the shadows on the wall into a more distinct shape*) Wukong, curious: "You learned how to make a new shape? That's wonderful! It looks like-" (*goes quiet as he realises*) "-like..." (*the shadow Rumble projects is the silhouette of Macaque - a sad by happy expression shown in the light of his face*) Wukong, realising: "Oh... my love..." (*Wukong approaches the shadow, careful not to break his daughter's concentration. He places his open hand on the wall where Macaque's own would be.*) Wukong, wistfully: "I should have known, she inherited your ears... I hope you've only said good things about me." Macaque's silhouette: (*leans towards his mate as if trying to touch foreheads. gives a cheeky grin at Wukong's words.*)

After that day, Wukong is far more vigilant for signs of Macaque's presence. He doesn't want their daughter to be the only one paying attention, after all!

After LBD's release, and Macaque gaining part of her corporeal form back, the other two babies formally meet their Baba! But they are confused and sad why he can't hug them. :(

As for a Stone Egg?

That would certainly make Wukong only ever more determined to get his mate's body back! One way or another, Macaque will hold their baby!

I can’t stop thinking about Xaden.

At one point, he didn’t trust his ability to walk away from Violet. He knows she’ll come looking for him, despite the note telling her not to.

The streaks around his eyes are her lightning. He wielded to save the people Violet loves—caressed her with shadows in those final moments of the Storm.

He is her home, yet she will be the death of him.

You sat up in bed, tiredly turning your head, only to be met by this sight.

"...Morning, Master. Did you sleep well?"

Oh no. He's smiling. The world is about to end. 👀

Macaque is just there cuz I felt like wanting to doodle his cat design in color for once- He looks so floofy and huggable tho-
