#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.

I got a question, or rather a what if. What if in any of your stone egg AUs, Wukong had a cryptic pregnancy? A cryptic pregnancy is basically when someone may go several months or the entire pregnancy without knowing they're pregnant. Like what if Wukong didn’t know he was having an egg until he was legit giving birth. I know with his Golden eyes and Macaque’s ears, that would practically impossible but still what if?

Just asking and a little curious.

Considering I just learned that in the show concept art; Macaque had a third mini shadow clone...

+ this anon ask:

Wukong happily tending to Macaque's left-behind shadows on FFM in the centuries after their breakup, only to notice that they're all missing; ala "lmk penumbra au".

He's sad that this part of his lost mate, only to wonder why his stomach has been feeling weird lately...

(*Wukong chilling in his hut prior to the LMK pilot*) Wukong, turns on gold vision: "...why is there three swirling masses of life energy/dao in my lower stomach?" Wukong, thinking: "Hmm... eh. Probably nothing." (*continues eating peach chips*) Guanyin, narrating: "It was, in fact, Something."

Wukong: (*wide-eyed and exhausted. Holding three!! baby monkeys*) Wukong, breathless: "What. The. Diyu?" Three Shadow Cubs: (*loud chirpy sounds!*) :V! Guanyin, in midwife scrubs: "Yeah. Glad I noticed just in time." Wukong: "What in Buddha's name was that!?" Guanyin: "Seems that by donating your dao to preserve your mate's shadows, they formed their own souls. However they needed bodies..." Wukong: "But wait, if Macaque's shadows disappeared some time ago then- how long where you three cooking!?" Three Shadow Cubs: (*no thoughts, only babey*) (‘◇’)? Wukong, realising: "I need a successor."

MK sees his idol in "tired single-parent of three newborns"-mode and instantly understands why the Monkey King needs someone to take up the Staff.

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. 👀

My new desktop background now btw fhgnfhgnhfg

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-

Benjaminus Decapitus - gladiator!Ben AU request

(since I’m currently playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey I couldn’t resist turning this into a gladiator/assassin!Ben thing)

Egg anon back at it again

Absolutely love the interpretation you got for R&S

Something about Savage being described as a Feral husk is so funny to me

You know that one image of the person rearing their kids with baby leashes? That’s the vibe I get/pos

EGG ANON that's it that's your name now-

Well you definitely make the idea of Savage being a husk of sorts a lot less morbid than I imagined it!

This is pretty accurate, too, though

see everyone worried and fretted and panicked and yet quesadilla island looked at pepito and went

AU idea: Wukong goes into labor with the stone egg WHILE he's fighting Macaque

Not sure which fight you mean honestly, but I assume you meant the "OG" fight back during the Journey days.

I imagine this all occurs likely in a version of the Jttw Stone Egged au where Macaque joins the gang after he found out.

Wukong and Macaque are fighting neck and neck when Macaque finally stops to listen to Wukong's shouts;

Wukong, in tears: "Macaque please! Don't make me do this! I'm with-" Macaque: "What's that weird noise??" Wukong: "Huh?" Macaque: "It sorta sounds like a... bag of water? With a heartbeat inside of- OHHHH!" Macaque: (*points at Wukong's pants*) Wukong: (*looks down and sees that his water has broken*) Both monkeys: (*start screaming!*)

Macaque drops his glamour immediately to tend to his mate.

Macaque: "I have so many questions! Who, why, and how long?!" Wukong, has Macaque's hand in a death-grip: "You, Mountain, 500 years." Macaque, mental gears turning: "Huh!?! How did- ohhh wait... self-spawning. If I had kept coming and fed you peaches you wouldn't have-" Wukong: "Yeah!" Macaque: "And since I wa- Am your mate the kid would be-" Wukong: "YEAH." Macaque, trying to lighten the mood: "Do I get visitation rights?" Wukong, voice deepening: "DON'T PUSH IT, BUD!"

Eventually the Pilgrims and Guanyin catch up (the Bodhisattva heard that water break from across the sea), and see the Six Eared Macaque has completely dropped his Monkey King glamour and is trying his best to keep the real Sun Wukong's breathing steady.

Guanyin quickly gets to work; bringing Wukong to somewhere nice and warm and dry to have the baby. They suggest that the reappearance of the other parent (i.e Macaque) caused the Egg to prematurely decide to make itself known.

Bonus if this is the first time certain Pilgrims (besides a wise dragon-dragon) heard of such a thing XD

Ao Lie, excited: "It's already happening!? Congratulations!!" Wukong: "Thanks Lie, but I'd prefer to get the kid out before you all start thanking me." Zhu Bajie, oblivious: "Wait what kid!? They heck is everyone talking about?!" Tripitaka: (*hyperventilating into his hat like it's a paper bag*) Sha Wujing: "I suppose well wishes are in order! Did Brother Wukong drink from the same river and choose to decline the cure?" Wukong: "No, it's HIS fault." (*jabs thumb at Macaque*) Macaque: (*blushing, waves nervously at his mate's Pilgrim brothers*) Ao Lie, breaking the tension: "So this is your Equal in Strength you've been telling us about!" Macaque, slight smugness: "That's what you've been calling me?" Wukong, gritting teeth from pain: "Not now Mihou..."

Macaque stays at Wukong's side the whole time, even as his instincts are going nuts, snarling at the Pilgrims if they dare approach. And even when his hand was definitely broken by Wukong's grip during a really bad contraction.

The rest of the Pilgrims meditate and pray for Wukong and the baby's health. Ao Lie makes a point of chilling in his dragon form to scare off any passing creatures or people - dragons don't like being disturbed when they're laying an egg, and he imagines its the same for Stone Monkeys.

After a lot of pushing and encouragement, a tiny egg makes itself known, cracking open shortly thereafter.

What lies within?

A chirpy, chubby-faced baby monkey with glowing (Macaque starts crying then) ears and dark fur - the little thing's cries sounding indignant as if they'd been awakened from a long sleep. Guanyin makes a point to gather the citrine and amethyst-imbedded shell of the newborn for the parents to keep.

Wukong and Macaque can't even remember what they were fighting about earlier - all that matters is the clinging baby on Wukong's chest. Little thing is a bit smaller than expected due to their premature birth, but they're healthy and hungry.

The rest of the Pilgrims are allowed in after everything is cleaned up and Macaque's hand has been bandaged.

First thing out of anyone's mouth is;

Zhu Bajie: "I thought monkeys had litters?" Wukong, growling: "Don't jinx me."

So yeah, now the Journey has a newborn baby and it's dad along for the ride.

i’d be so mad if i was ford. i finally get out of my multidimensional nightmare and return to my home and my family only to get smacked in the face with 30 years of inflation. it would be my last straw.

So my husband got sick last week from another coworker coming in while she was contagious, and as a result he missed a couple days of work. Because of that his paycheck this week was a few hundred less than what he usually gets, and since rent was due it basically took his entire check.

We don't have enough left to get us food and drinks to last the next two weeks and, of course, our roommates can't help with that and, in fact, have actively been making it more difficult to keep ourselves fed because they keep sneaking when we either aren't home or are asleep and eating our food without asking.

We haven't confronted them on this because neither of them handle being called out on bullshit well and tend to take even minor things that aren't of an accusatory nature at all as a Personal Attack for some reason. And we don't have, like, proper proof aside from our word against theirs that they've been taking our food and in general it just is not worth the headache and anxiety it would cause to bring it up.

We have a contingency plan to keep future groceries that don't have to be refrigerated in our room where they can't get to things, but, right now we can't even get ourselves anything because we are flat broke. So.

Opening Emergency Commissions for $5 headshot icons, and $15 full body single character deals. As long as you have a decent ref I can draw for pretty much any fandom, though I will admit that heavily robotic characters are not my strong suit. Some examples of my art can be found under my blog tag #nocturnal emissions!

If you don't need/want a commission but still feel like helping out, my PayPal is at whimsicalcupcake91@gmail.com, and reblogs of this post are much appreciated to get the word out!

And for anyone curious about how much we'd need to both get groceries and still ensure my husband has a way to get to work on the days he can't get a ride with coworkers, it'd likely be around 3-4 hundred to get by.
