Continuing with last LMK post we are now analyzing Episode 2!
You now have a spoiler warning, go watch the season before you read this. It’s worth it, trust me on this.
- Episode 2 -
Hi welcome to court.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b49584d81a6fe39e1bb21bfe85902e12/a80acf5a6892ed68-8d/s540x810/7d2d30ac5a4d0bb4720ee741126b7fe7e36876e0.jpg)
No I am not kidding we open up with this frame as everyone is in court! Normal monkey stuff! Right?
So yeah we see everyone in court for crimes (mainly Wukong and then MK being wrapped up into this and then Macaque is just there)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6582bc0a8b7267f82c863db82fab95/a80acf5a6892ed68-8b/s540x810/ab2ad012bd65205e64db6591be074d7e250310a0.jpg)
And then we can see the ten kings of Yama, the ones running this court session. Y’know, the guys who were tricked by Wukong into letting him scribble his name out of the book of death?
Yeah those guys.
So as we get more cool shots of the ten kings, we learn that due to the scroll being taken something something and in guys own words “the pillar of heaven has been irreparably damaged” which, okay, but what does Macaque or MK have to do with this? There’s probably something I’m not picking up on, but my point stands. MK I can see why they’re blaming him, although I do not think he is to blame. All he did was open the scroll out of curiosity, so sure he did that, but then what about Macaque? Why is he here? what did he do again?
Also I won’t include the screenshot because of the image limit, but the fact that MK just says “OBJECTION” when talking to Li Jing is amazing to me.
Also last thing before we move on, NEZHA!! Sorry I have very specific favorite characters, all of them being either angry, traumatized, characters I relate to, or all three, and somehow this list includes Nezha and Red Child. So I thrive off of more Nezha content.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6d15c0ea9ae1e0a906a194297a002532/a80acf5a6892ed68-3f/s540x810/363c06ca2ba0e844565477086fa0e5a4c7008c77.jpg)
Well dang Li Jing didn’t really like you at the start but now you do this? Wooowwww
Okay I knew it was a matter of time till the headpiece was at least mentioned in LMK, probably, but that sucks for Wukong.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b4bdcc81353a35e01e9078330021b2d1/a80acf5a6892ed68-87/s540x810/b00dac6523503078e6fc039548c2b47ff1f853bb.jpg)
Okay so now our trio is stuck in heavenly prison or something and we get a funny scene of MK trying to take the headpiece off of Wukong and Wukong just accepting his fate, kinda.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e37415d1c0d78b07d74f131e77ee8b0b/a80acf5a6892ed68-ec/s540x810/5b1323efb535a0b5c8498695382a83ed26599c14.jpg)
So we get more Nezha as things are explained, specifically the pillar of heaven. Long story short, it’s what holds back chaos, and allows the world to not go boom.
Also Wukong with Tang’s glasses is everything to me I swear—
Like just—
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/89774bded369d3284ec2025b180d98ea/a80acf5a6892ed68-99/s540x810/3ac98a282211c1d06e46c54338e7298f50aa740d.jpg)
This is amazing to me.
So, the pillar is being destroyed, and we learn that to repair it, we must find these five colorful stones and well save the universe with them. (i’m trying to not say anything) And for whatever reason throughout the season we don’t see anyone but the Monkie Kids looking for the stones??
Anyway, suddenly the captured people are un-captured by Wukong magic and we get an amazing chase scene. We have Macaque commenting on how every time Wukong goes to heaven he makes a scene and with the power of sword Wukong freaking hurls everyone off the side of the walkway and teleport back to the mortal plane.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/25eb60da53e889586ec5a3bafde13b55/a80acf5a6892ed68-37/s540x810/c65115f37fa2a20c514baa5fd0444b53cb929dde.jpg)
Sandy is talking about his new car before SWORD and his poor truck gets impaled and crushed. Now the monkeys are here, now the cracks from last season are here, now heavens here. Also Tang has spoken! Finally!
Migraine headband is used on Wukong after everyone tries to escape and Macaque freaking teleports Wukong and MK, saying “go save the world”, into the new TEA, and does a self sacrifice for the time being.
Cool. I honestly remember this episode being more entertaining, but that might also have been me just happy that Nezha is back. Good episode 2!
Also: these things I do with motivation, and halfway though this I lost motivation, so don’t expect a new one for a good minute.
1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

This is a special genre of f1 picture(to ME.)
#ive talked a lot about helmets lately oops#i guess i just rly have an obsession with how they're an extension of the driver#and a representation of them and their only sense of personality and individuality when theyre all geared up#so theres something to me about the separation of helmet from driver like in these pics#of course theres pics of the helmet on its own for model kinda pics(like all the pics i used for my past project posts)#but this is its own genre. helmet doing its own thing. helmet away from the vicinity of its owner#helmet being protected from the elements. it has its own carrying bag. it gets an umbrella. etc etc#the first pic made me on the lookout for pics w a similar vibe. IDK WHY BUT IM RLY OBSESSED WITH IT#having a severe helmet fucker era </3 i look at these and i feel very weird about them 😭#not included cause its a differnt genre but also thinking abt pics where someone other than the driver themselves is holding their helmet#theres something weirdly intimate to me about it. its too reminiscent of that one painting of the germanic warrior holding the roman helmet#<- DO YOU GET WHAT IM IMPLYING HERE.#anyways. i digress. helmet being taken care of and protected is cute to me#its such an extension of the driver so its kinda funny ig that they get their own photoshoots#also yeah these are all nando helmets bcs i couldn't find pics from other drivers that i thought had the same vibe#and i think its interesting how these correlate with whom the photographer is and the level of popularity of the driver#like are you popular enough that someone will see your helmet apart from you and think its important enough for a pic?#and its so interesting comparing pics from the same time from different teams#bcs you can see how different the motivations of the different photographers are based on what the pics are like#well blah blah blah helmet kink blah blah blah#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#helmet

what is going on w my brain
#huge tag rant coming but dw about it#basically. if anyone here has known me on the internet for long enough yous will have gathered that i badly struggle w motivation and#fulfilling goals that i set for myself even if it's for smth i enjoy eg languages#it happens so often but especially over summer where my brain just goes Nope#“i have all this free time to do the thing I've been planning for weeks and i've been so excited about planning but now we have the time i#will be numb and sad and scroll“#i also have huge problems focusing unless every factor is perfectly balanced and even then it's still 50/50#i do have a bad attention span from being chronically online but even if you put me in a blank room w my task i'd be distracted by thoughts#external deadlines are some of the only things that can kick me into gear and i've been fine at uni so far#but i'm scared i'll have another a levels situation where my mental health was so awful i missed every essay deadline for french for 2 years#sometimes by up to a month#the only reason i got away w it is because i had a breakdown in front of my teacher and he was like “yeah take care of yourself the essays#are not that deep just get them in first thing after half term ig“#like that was v kind of him but if i ever have a situation that bad again i will genuinely fail uni cus you can't get away w that#where was i going w this (<- is aware of the irony)#right yeah this week i've experienced the epic highs and lows#highs of really enjoying my downtime and putting active effort into my hobbies instead of my downtime being “scrolling but i don't hate it”#but lows of realising how much time i 'wasted' in my teen years feeling sad and scrolling when i could have been developing skills and#having fun#and yeah i'm having a high rn and genuinely enjoying life but it's making me realise that my default state of being is just 😐#like even when i'm at uni where my mental health is so much better than at home when it's just me home alone or in my room i'm just 😐#not really having fun just existing v passively mindlessly scrolling waiting for the day to be over so i can see my friends in the morning#like not every day has to be amazing but surely there's more to life than just 😐 in 99% of your downtime#like i've struggled for years on how to answer “what do you do in your free time” cus i had to search for answers#i read and go on walks. which is true. but they were always things i did as phone breaks during weekends and not something i actively did#because i liked them#and because of past mental health issues reading and sports based hobbies have become tainted for me#i'm working on it but yeah#huge tldr. i'm finally starting to accept that i probably have a combo of undiagnosed mental illness and neurodivergence#because if it's taken me this long to realise how much it truly impacts my enjoyment of life then surely that's smth

i read the hunger games books multiple times over as a kid, and i didnt like katniss' ending at first, bc my hyperlexic ass could read the words long before i could REALLY Comprehend the concepts, but as soon as i got a firm understanding of aromanticism and trauma and and etcetc... i like it a lot now
#^bro had the most subtleeeee learning delay !!!!#it kind of disturbs me because like. i just. didnt have a teacher that really helped me UNDERSTAND stuff like themes? i was shy#and i was REALLY good at guessing on questions like theme and mood based on what the teacher said#but i didnt. GET them i usually got half points or missed those questions or wasnt detailed enough#same thing with character motivation#unless i was intimately familiar with the story#and even then stuff like hs and su and mp100... it took multiple times over and also participation in fan discussion to Get what was happen#idk what happened or why it clicked#it was like. slowly thru junior year and into senior i had 2 great teachers in a row#the texts we read were interesting and were about things i could identify as giving a shit about from a fairly surface level#i dont know what made it click..#which is what makes me think its hyperlexia#it was really like an epiphany? or a set of epiphanies#but i could read a LOT of words really fucking fast#i was reading on my own when i was 4#which apparently isnt normal#and they said i read at a 7th grade level when i was in 3rd grade#and by the time i was in 7th grade i was reading at a college level#which! at my school was pretty much just based on knowing vocab!!!!#and damn did i know vocab. i just couldnt.. see.. the bigger picture....... Um. *gulps in missed autism diagnosis*#just connected that thats a manifestation of focusing on the details..#but yeah its weird#i was always pretty sure i didnt have any major developmental delays#just trouble communicating and socializing etcetc sensory issues whatever#im p sure i hit all my milestones on time or early as a bebe#except that... also i was (am...) a wanderer. i got the cops called on me by my family cause i wandered to a neighbors house (there were#kids a little older than me there and i had an older neighbor friend from another house so i thought it was chill. plus they had video game#and i lived w old people so i didnt get any games until i was 7 (dsi))#im pretty sure they wouldnt have called the cops if it was a white family -_- they would refer to them as Them Patels -_-#but regardless i was pulling the irish goodbye before i shouldve LOL

hobbs and joiner, who are @four-white-trees' ocs! these sure are some guys...
less clothed version under the cut (because i didn't go to all the effort of making all these layers to not show em)
#jichanart#jichan'shandslipped#cw nudity#Incitatus crew#the deepest solace#<- just gonna steal your tags for them#less clothed version because i did NOT draw all that body hair by hand just to cover it all up. EVERYBODY LOOK#anyways the motivator for this one was finding out their heights. because i desperately needed a visual for that#thank you height comparison website#so yeah it should be to scale because i drew directly over the height reference#and the reference helped me with proportions! so i struggled less with full body than i normally do#now i can play dress up with them with this as a base. very pleased with myself#this file has so many variants rn you have no idea. and i still gotta put them in even more outfits#anyhow i hope this helps anybody reading four-white-trees' sunday six posts visualise them#COORDINATED POSTING RIGHT AT YOU

I think it’s silly that they removed archon shards from the Kahl ship effectively partially killing the replayability value of the game mode just so they could usher people over to the Entrati Labs mode for (I'm assuming) better play time metrics over there.
.
#guessing you meant to type shop here instead of ship based on context clues#oh 100% yeah removing archon shards from kahl garrison shop was a weird move#I suspect you’re right about metrics but it was still a strange choice when the game model has been so sternly about player choice#and it’s like it’s only 1 archon shards a week? what’s the harm in keeping it in his shop?#nettacells were already out at the time of this update so it wouldn’t have been players having too many shards#netracells*#gotta be honest removing the shard didn’t make me play entrati labs but it did however give me less motivation to play kahl weekly missions#how to kill a game mode? remove rewards that add replayability value#it was absolutely a way to promote the new game mode at the time but it still feels weird and kinda bad#like did they not have enough faith in the entrati labs mode on launch? is that why they nerfed that part of player choice?#did they think the game mode with parvos freaking granum in the labs wouldn’t have had enough going for it on its own? digital extremes#does some strange stuff sometimes#mod rose#warframe confession#warframe

For context i have a comic about if Isaac Morgan lived on my blog js incase anyone is severely confused-
I want to warn everyone who likes my comic right now because it's dawned on me that I have a crippling fear of disappointing People and this may trigger it 😭
Spoiler warning if you care lmao
So obviously i get notifs every time someone likes my comic and I've noticed quite a few people who consistently keep up with it (I LOVE YOUS TO BITS BTW OMG <333) but i want to say that the longer the comics goes on it'll be less and less part of the story. It never REALLY disrupts the events of rdr2. But theres a point in the story where nearly every character is an oc. And again, it's still linked to the events of rdr2 but it's kinda in a way meant to be an entirely different story derived from the events of rdr2.
The only other canon characters that isaac gets to meet the rest of the story is Arthur Morgan (not really) Colm Odriscoll, Keiran Duffy and Charles smith
Apart from that theres mentions of all the other gang members but Isaac basically has his own story. I almost want it to be a plot point that his Arthur didn't make Isaac who he is. Isaac made Isaac who he is yk? He's not the same as Arthur, he doesn't have the same abilities, he doesn't have the same background, he doesn't have the same upbringing and he doesn't have the same life.
But yeah I'm really sorry if thats disappointing. I LUV YALL ANYWAY FOR KEEPING UP :))
#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#artists on tumblr#fanfic#isaac morgan#comics#i need to tell yall or ill cry#Charles comes alot later on#like after the epilogue#oh yeah#the second half of the story is based after the rdr2 epilogue#the skinners and the murfree brood get involved#isaac is not Arthur#teehee#i LOVE everyone who keeps up with it consistently yall literally give me the motivation to go on js so yk.#I would've stopped by now if no one liked it.#Charles smith#colm o'driscoll#arthur morgan#keiran duffy#go check out my comic to make me happy#pls

ml headcanon that when lila told adrien she’d been saved by ladybug she wasn’t lying
like no she’s not ladybug’s best friend but ladybug did actually save her during an akuma attack once like maybe there was a bus that was about to slam into her or she was in a crumbling building and ladybug rescued her
and she has actual proof of it happening as well a selfie or it was recorded by a civilian and put on the ladyblog/the news
but she can’t show adrien the proof because ladybug didn’t save lila. she saved cerise.
and it’s so annoying and frustrating for her because she gets called out on lying but it’s the one thing she told the truth about but nobody believes her because she wasn’t wearing a wig when ladybug last saw her
#miraculous ladybug#lila rossi#ml s5 spoilers#<- just in case somebody doesn’t know about cerise yet#like. she bases her lies on facts whenever she can like she got a fox necklace made in her debut episode#and she researched prince ali’s schedule before the hero’s day video call and worded her sentences so that she didn’t contradict the fact h#was out of the country and she had sabrina spy on marinette so that they would only steal things she needed to create a motive#so she based her ‘ladybug is my bff’ lie on her actual experience getting saved by ladybug. and too little too late she realises oh. yeah.#lila and cerise are separate people and i can’t use cerise’s things for lila.#‘but wouldn’t marinette recognise lila from saving cerise?’ of course not haven’t you been watching the show nobody recognises anybody

god okay actually i might take a small break from “give all the best to you” fic because it’s starting to burn me out, not sure for how long but hopefully it’ll pass
sorry guys !!!
#zishu speaks#i might also need a bit of time to plan out the next few bits#i need to do some research on weddings and other stuff#sorry to everyone who reads it !!#the last chapter sort of left on a cliffhanger (but i’m sure you can kind of guess who the new characters are based on the tags)#it’s getting harder to write my creative juice is running out#not everyone who reads the fic will see this i think#but i also don’t want to update the fic just to say this because i don’t like those kinds of author notes </3#creativity and motivation is so dead in me it’s unreal#fr feeling that ‘let’s shake this poet out of the beast’#i don’t actually know if that’s what the lyric means but i definitely feel like i have to fight for my life trying to write something#ahh i’m rambling BUT yeah#again sorrys to anyone looking forward to the next chapters :(#gonna try not to let this rot#fingers crossed !!#ava

I don't know how I'd ever convey this in art but. Thinking very deeply about how in boy king au, a very crucial part of characterization is that Seb is a wolf in sheep(or lamb more specifically)'s clothing and Fernando is a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Seb is very unassuming, very delicate, seemingly very vulnerable and malleable. But, deep down, he can be very ruthless. It's in the the way he hesitantly declares war, with a spark in his eye and a suppressed smirk. In the way he challenges someone to a card game or a horse race, proclaiming that he's not great, but winning every round and prancing around the room and mentioning it ad infinitum. The way he's able to instantly turn the tide in a debate in one fell swoop. By showing all his cards constantly and letting himself be vulnerable, he's making himself invulnerable. No one would ever consider him to be able to make big moves, so he wins every single time, because no one even thinks to expect it from him.
Fernando on the other hand, is constantly committed to having a looming presence and harsh reputation, but deep down, he's soft. He knows what happens to people when they're vulnerable, and he's not going to let himself be taken advantage of. The way he keeps a brave face when being informed of the marriage proposal, but goes back to his room and cries. The way he proclaims that he was always going to be the rightful ruler of Spain, but confides to Flavio that he never thought there was any real chance of it ever happening. The way he takes himself so seriously in public, but inside feels so giddy whenever he can make someone laugh. Everything to him always feels unstable and ready to crumble at any moment, and he's not willing to contribute to that by letting himself relax.
I think thats why it's very difficult for them to get along at first, because they have completely different approaches to how they carry themselves and make their way through life. Seb is confused at Fernando because he feels that he's very bland and overly serious at first, but truthfully he's not really seeing the actual Fernando. And Fernando finds Seb to be naive and easily taken advantage of, but that's because he's never seen Seb at his most cruel. Seb really loves when he eventually gets to see Fernando being vulnerable, and Fernando really admires and respects Seb when he sees him being serious. I think it just takes a while for them to show the other their full and complete selves, even the parts they can sometimes be ashamed of. There's this very compelling dichotomy in Seb laying out all his cards, but still being very difficult to read, and Fernando keeping his cards to his chest, but his intentions often being easily seen through.
#meanwhile everyone else: what is this weird fucked up mating ritual they are participating in#though i think its very interesting how their motivations differ#seb wants to lull people into a false sense of security(and also really just likes to be his complete unadulterated self)#and fernando is guarding himself because he doesn't want to get hurt#and i think seb convinces Fernando that its okay to be openly soft and yourself :) not eveyrone is out to get you#and fernando teaches seb hey maybe dont invite this obvious assassin to your chambers?????#i think seb also has insecurites but Fernando's are just more easy to explain bcs hes in a much more difficult situation#at the end of the day both of them are putting on facades in some way#(i think seb likes to be himself but also does feel really hurt when people dont think he has the capacity or ability to rule effectively)#(he likes to be kind and playful and doesnt want to obscure that part of himself. but hes aware it can hurt his image unfortunately)#also lol the way i characterize fernando is very historically accurate btw#bcs the spanish court tradition was basically to be above it all and be a lofty unobtainable figure if that makes sense#yknow having just this insane level of confidence and infallible image of yourself as the ruler#the guy seb is based on really bought into that idea but i dont think it really suits seb so yeah#seb I think is very much a unique figure that others have a lot of trouble reading him and his intentions. which is great!#AAAAAHHH MAN FELT REALLY GOOD TO WRITE ALL THAT OUT !!!!!!!!!#i love writing their characterization so fucking much you dont understand#its nice to put it in words like this bcs yknow i dont rly enjoy actual writing. but this i enjoy greatly#hope this is compelling to more than just me hahaha#boy king au#catie.rambling.txt#vettonso
