#that might actually have played a slight role in how feral I get about protecting my cat 🐈‍���

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

love how hua cheng is just like "I support xie lian rights and xie lian wrongs, except he can never do anything wrong ever even when he kills a bunch of people. Go off king" and Xie Lian is like “This is my beautiful husband, he has committed war crimes, but haven’t we all?”

And their relationship is somehow healthier than anything I've ever been in.

[strange-lace]

My first thing to do knowing hyperfixating on LEGO Monkie Kid is making a role swap AU because of course, though I was also inspired by @cassidyisnowdrawing ‘s Yellow Light Verse (that I really hope it doesn’t look like I’m copying you, I did my best to make them different from each other)!

So in this role swap, while everyone’s roles in the story are swapped (Mei’s the Monkie Kid, Red is her partner in crime, and MK serves DBK and PIF) their backstories haven’t changed, if that makes sense. Now while I keep their personalities similar to canon, they’re going to still have some differences due to their different circumstances.

Mei:

Mei would be a lot more insecure and eager to prove herself, both as Sun Wukong’s successor and her worth as a person since while I’m having backstories for the characters stay the same, I could see Mei and MK both being worse off self-esteem wise without having each other around growing up. 

She’d still just as bubbly, excitable, protective, and phone savvy as Canon!Mei, if not more so on the protective aspect. Tends to go absolutely apeshit the most when someone threatens Green, Pigsy, Tang, Sandy and eventually includes MK and her own mentor, Sun Wukong, under this umbrella.

Case in point: when she sees Sun Wukong and Macaque fight. Through sheer protective anger and hurt about being betrayed allows her to lift the staff and decimate Macaque.

Sun Wukong would get attached a lot quicker to his successor in this AU because Mei just has that energy which activates Parental Instincts he didn’t even know he had.

Does noodle deliveries for Pigsy but has also makes vlogs of what it’s like working at Pigsy’s Noodles. She says it’s to better advertise the shop, but really she just likes making memories that she can look back on and show others. Starts doing it while also being the Monkie Kid and training with Wukong.

Was genuinely scared/intimidated by Demon Kid upon first meeting him but was quick to find that while he’s got the dramatics of being a villain down, he fails at the aspect of actually partaking in villainous behavior. After that, they’re quick to transition from enemies to frenemies to just being friends.

Makes no effort to hide her wanting to be friends with Demon Kid and finds his quiet bewilderment at her friendship adorable but also kind of sad. 

A troublemaker despite her innocent face, which definitely makes Sun Wukong proud to see her causing chaos and get away with it. That, alongside her kind nature, are the reasons he chose her as his successor.

Creates tech for the team alongside Green, though their differing styles of inventing can cause complications or make the inventions backfire on them both, though she takes these more in stride compared to Green.

The undefeated queen in DDR and Monkey Mecha despite Green’s multiple attempts to dethrone her.

Mei: Hey, hey DBK look at me. DBK: [turns towards Mei] Mei: [ready to kick his ass] B I T C H!

A slight bit better at focus and following Wukong’s lessons compared to Canon!MK but still tends to get ahead of herself in wanting to learn flashier techniques before even getting the basics down.

Likes to wage psychological warfare on her enemies. By that I mean, she essentially likes pulling Bugs Bunny level antics to frustrate them to do stupid stuff in combat out of anger, allowing her to fuck them up with a smile on her face.

Green (AKA Red Son)

The most changed personality wise due to different circumstances in this AU, a lot more calm and composed to counteract Mei’s hyperactive demeanor and less prone to losing his temper. Though he’s still pretty uptight.

Is still the son of DBK and PIF but he had ran away some time after DBK had been imprisoned. Makes an effort to make sure he’s not recognized by anyone, dying his hair and wearing makeup. Still wears Canon!Red Son’s shades but they’re larger and he still dresses like a rich bitch because he has standards. He refuses to wear the color red for unknown reasons to Mei and the others, at least until they find out about his family.

Just as protective of Mei as she is of him, to the point he had some objections to her being chosen as Sun Wukong’s successor but eventually let it go once he saw how important it was to her. Begrudgingly chose to fight alongside her, thinking he might as well and avoid her getting herself killed. His way of showing he cares can appear condescending but Mei has known him long enough to know he really doesn’t see her incapable of taking care of herself.

Works alongside Mei to use their combined tech knowledge to combating the threat of DBK and his demon forces. However, his inventions can also have a tendency to backfire or not work as intended, much to his frustration.

Enjoys racing on his motorbike, participating in races across the city and often winning in 1st place. He is most definitely a cocky little bastard about his skill in racing, one the few things about himself that he puts a lot of pride in.

Had a complicated relationship with Demon Kid at first. At first, he resented the other for essentially being his parents attempt to “replace” him after he ran away and led himself to believe that he was much more appreciated by his parents for his control of his flames and magic power. However, that illusion is soon shattered once he sees how Demon Kid gets when they foil his plans since he’s familiar with that look of worry and resigned accepted that he’d have to go back to DBK and PIF with another failure on his back. Tries to show empathy after that without revealing his true identity, which only causes confusion for Mei and Demon Kid on how he’s so familiar with DBK, PIF, and demon culture as a whole.

The exhausted voice of reason among the team alongside Pigsy.

Often challenges Mei to video game championships which devolve to them play fighting once Mei inevitably beats him at everything.

Has his own façade of confidence but often fears not being strong enough to keep his found family safe but is too proud to admit until someone gets injured and he starts fearing for the worst.

Sun Wukong enjoys messing with him due to his uptight nature, especially at the Monkey King’s impishness.

Goes completely feral in combat once he gets the Dragon Sword. Even before that, he was willing to run over Demon Kid’s demon puppets with his bike to give Mei a hand.

Demon Kid (AKA MK)

A kid who’s a lot like Megamind: he lives for the dramatics and presentation of being a villain but fails at actually acting villainous when it comes down to it. Does his best to appear serious, intimidating, and someone not to mess with but that façade slips very often when it comes to things like being complimented or when someone mentions the Monkey King and he turns out to be a complete dork.

Not the son of DBK and PIF, but rather a low level demon that PIF had chose to be help her free DBK after Red Son had disappeared and she was left alone. Mainly because Demon Kid had no one else either and she saw potential with his strong magic, though it was rather out of control when they met. PIF had decided alongside DBK that they’d keep him around as an assistant/minion of sorts once he had helped her free DBK.

Since he doesn’t have Canon!Red Son’s prowess with technology, I considered instead that he’s skilled with magic and his own fire powers, using them a lot more in combat or during his schemes against Mei’s team. Still a major contributor to DBK’s army, but instead of the mechanical Bull Clones, perhaps Demon Kid instead supplies his king with sentient demon puppets given life through his magic. The armor can run the same, except with a magical angle instead of technology.

I have this idea that he’s actually able to pull out Sun Wukong’s staff on his own, much to his surprise. He’s quick to try and say it was due to a spell when PIF questions this. He’s left both amazed and terrified at the mere possibility of him being worthy to wield the staff of Sun Wukong himself.

His first meeting with Mei plays out similar to the show’s canon, though instead he intended on teleporting Mei away with a spell under the guise of “eliminating” her for DBK. Even while chasing her through the city, he was going to simply take the staff and scare her enough to never cross the Demon Bull King again. He tries to convince himself it’s to allow fear of DBK to be spread by leaving her alive but really, he just could never bring himself to kill or seriously harm someone.

Though like Canon!Red Son, he’s prone to losing his temper with others before immediately apologizing afterwards out of reflex. Also tends to teleport away from situations when he’s embarrassed himself, often saying he’s only allowing Mei and Green to win this time but next time will be different.

Spoiler alert: It rarely ever is.

DBK and PIF are often frustrated with Demon Kid because they know he has potential to bring Sun Wukong’s successor and her team to their knees with his powers and knowledge of magical spells but he fails to fulfill this because of his own inability to be cruel. They’re both like that episode of Spongebob where Plankton tries to teach him to be assertive/aggressive except they’re both Plankton and Demon Kid is Spongebob.

Quickly becomes attached to Mei and Green since they’re genuinely nice to him and while he insists that it’s because they’re his “personal archenemies”, he most definitely sees them as his friends and is constantly coming up with flashier schemes to impress/amuse them as well as get feedback from them. Was actually really lonely before meeting them, having to use his demon puppets for company. His attachment to Mei and Green can quickly evolve to possessiveness when he thinks someone is trying to take them away, whether they be other enemies that decide to fight them or a friend who is simply spending noticeable amount of time with them.

In the case of someone else trying to kill them, Demon Kid would be quick to shut that down and make that person immediately regret it since, in his words, he’s the only one allowed to destroy the two. This is one of the few situations where he gets completely serious and doesn’t bother with the theatrics.

Does his best to make himself look scary such as shoes to make him appear taller, jagged face paint, and perhaps sharp eyeliner to imitate PIF since he sees everyone fears her.

Matchup for @hashirass

I'm 20 years old, 1,68m, ENFP, female, bissexual (with a *slight* preference for men), scorpio with asc in capricorn and moon in sagittarius. I'm have very short and curly hair, pale skin, green eyes and a slim body. Both my ears and right eyebrow are pierced and I have a huge japanese tattoo on my back. I love books, video games, music, sports and greek mythology, very nerdy when you got to know me lol Hmmm i think i'm very independent and ambitious, i won't drop my dreams in any circumstances. I'm really open to talk about anything, preferring to solve my problems with someone without a scandal. In general a people person, very easy going, laid back and a bit chaotic when i'm pumped up. I love to tease the hell out of my dear ones, although I'm very respectful with people's limits and delicate subjects. I can't tolerate any kind of prejudice and will snap with someone who's being a jerk without second thoughts. Also, sometimes i need my own space to figure out what i'm doing with my life lol. Ooooh and i love affection, not the gross clingy type but please gimme some cuddles? Some kisses, and hugs, too! And AHDUWHHSHAHF well, i'm a bit naughty sometimes. I like to explore my kinks and i don't consider sex as a taboo. Totally open to try new things.

So happy to do a matchup for you, love! Hope you enjoy who I’ve picked for you. 💖

Your match is...

Koala (Scorpio, ESFJ)

Appearance wise, you two look absolutely adorable together! Two short-haired beauties with beautiful back tattoos that you both adore on each other. Your style next to her cutesy steam-punk style makes you two look so so cute when side by side. 

As for personality, she absolutely adores your nerdy habits and hobbies. Koala can be considered a bit nerdy herself, so you two find a lot of things in common. But she is more than excited to be introduced to some of your favorite things. Some have become her own favorites and she enjoys that you two can gush over stuff that makes you happy. Even if it’s something she doesn’t care for, she still supports your infatuations and could listen to you gush all day long. Having a nerdy girlfriend is cute and she loves to brag about you. Since you’re so interested in various topics, you’re a well-rounded person and can make any conversation exciting with your random knowledge. Koala is deeply attracted to your intelligence as it’s one of the sexiest things about you to her. 

Koala is pretty independent herself, so she also appreciates that you two don’t have to constantly be around each other. You can both go off and do your own thing with no complaints that you two don’t spend enough time together. This is especially helpful as Koala has to be away from you quite a lot due to missions and meetings. Knowing you’re not upset with her for being gone for weeks, maybe months at a time, really eases her mind while she is away. That doesn’t mean you two don’t miss each other of course! When she returns home, she makes sure to bring you a new book or a record every time, or some other kind of trinket that reminds her of you while she was away. 

Your openness and determination to fix problems is truly beneficial in your relationship. Koala is much happier in life now, but that doesn’t mean her past demons don’t come back to haunt her every now and then. She has some trust issues that will resurface occasionally and when she has bad days, they are really bad. Thankfully, she has you. You give her a love that she’s never experienced before, a kind of deep, unconditional love that makes the bad days better. She would never do anything to jeopardize that, but remember to be gentle with her. She can shut down at times, but don’t take this as her shutting you out. You can understand as you like to have space in order to figure things out when life gets overwhelming, so there really shouldn’t be any misunderstandings in your relationship. 

Another thing she loves about your relationship is that you two truly radiate as a couple when around others. The both of you are very outgoing, kindhearted people that know how to have a good time. Koala is a bit more relaxed, but she’s used to chaotic nature thanks to Sabo. So, when you’re having a grand ole time, she much prefers to sit back and watch you with the biggest smile on her face. 

She might get pouty and puff out her cheeks about your teasing, but you both know she really loves it. She actually gets concerned when you go a whole day without teasing her! Through time, she’s really learned how to dish it right back, so when you two are in your teasing mood, you both come off as very flirtatious with one another. Which is pretty cute, especially after years of being with each other. 

Your dislike for prejudices and the desire to protect those who are being mistreated is arguably what she most loves about you. You two share the same ideals, and she’s even offered you a chance to join the Revolutionary Army because of your drive to fight for justice. Aside from the Revolutionary Army, you two get involved with your community in any way you can, giving help to those in need! You two feel happiest when working together to help others. 

Oh, Koala is an absolute sucker for your affections. She’s a bit touch starved, but also still a bit jumpy when it comes to people touching her without warning. You have to overcome this imbalance, but once you do, Koala is definitely down for some cuddles. She’s never over the top with it, unless you are wanting Koala bear cuddles, but just sitting beside you and laying her head on your shoulder, her legs in your lap, or even holding your hand is enough to make her so full of love for you! She’s also very much a giver when it comes to cuddles; playing with your hair, massaging you, and just running her fingers along your skin until you fall asleep in her arms! Forehead kisses are her favorite type of kisses, both giving and receiving. There’s something so innocent about them, but they're also a symbol of the immense love and respect between the two of you. Tender is a good word to describe your physical affections!

As for sexy times, Koala is an open book. Anything you’re wanting to try, she’s willing to try at least once. Nothing is taboo to her and she’s never shy in any kind of discussions on sex. She has a fair share of kinks herself (light bdsm, role play, just to name a couple) that she’d love to introduce you to if you have yet to try them. The two of you have a wonderful sex life because you recognize that communication is most important in making things pleasurable for both parties! You two always know how to have fun with each other, whether you’re having a super kinky night or the most vanilla love-making in the world. What makes it incredible is that it’s you two taking the time to love each other physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 

Other potential suitors:

Sabo (Pisces, ENTP) - I don’t find it coincidental that Sabo and Koala have similar tastes. You’re quite similar to Koala, so it was kind of inevitable for you and Sabo to get along as he has a good relationship with her. But, in some ways, you’re also quite similar to Sabo. There are enough similarities and differences in your relationship to keep things exciting! You two are both full of energy when together and always know how to enjoy each other’s company. He’s definitely just as independent, a free spirit, but ever since forming a relationship with you, he finds himself more grounded and wanting to be around you more. One of the best people to go to for cuddles, because he’s so warm! And he won’t say no to holding you in his arms. That feral energy of his definitely comes out in the bedroom, and if you add yours in, damn is the sex gonna be wild. Also, just wanna add - if you’re into polyamory, I could totally see Koala x you x Sabo as a thing. 

Bonney (Virgo, ESTP) - Ah, the chaotic energy that spills forth when you two are together. Truly a force to reckoned with, and your life with Bonney is never short of exciting. The pirate is balls to the wall with nearly everything she does, and that includes loving you. She’s very passionate about you and it shows in every aspect of your relationship. Even if she is a little tsundere at times...thinks your nerdiness is adorable and can definitely take some teasing from you. But you better expect to receive some back! Can surprisingly be clingy when she gets in certain moods? But she never tries to overwhelm you. Gets a little blushy when you lay your head in her lap. One of the kinkiest bitches out there so you might want to prepare yourself. She feeds off of your naughtiness and will wear you out every single time. Better work on your stamina.

Law (Libra, ISTJ) - When I think of nerdy, I can’t help but think of Law. I mean come on, he’s a total nerd himself. And he needs an extroverted, nerdy girlfriend. Thankfully, there’s you! You two have a lot of similar interests and therefore, Law could never be bored with you. You’re much more outgoing than he is, but instead of contradicting each other, it actually brings a good balance into your lives. Law is a grade A tease, both in and out of the bedroom, so to have someone to challenge and tease him back? Well, I’ll just say he really likes that about you and that really *ahem* adds some spice to your relationship. He’s a little shy with showing affection at first, but damn is he a great kisser. And you receive lots of them, behind closed doors of course.

mutant apocalypse headcanons

paola winding up with raph and donnie

ok so i’m gonna do a slight au of my verse for cassandra where paola ends up with donnie and raph instead of ending up with cassandra.

paola likes to pretend she’s salty that robo-donnie’s so much taller than she is, but she’s really not. more than anything, she feels bad for donnie for being trapped in a robot body.

and paola does minimal repairs to herself- any spare parts are saved for donnie. this means paola’s arms are prone to falling off, and she might glitch in the middle of her sentences. raph knows that she’s not using any new parts, but paola has sworn him to secrecy. i can imagine donnie’s figured it out, but just…doesn’t say anything. 

loss of cassandra’s ship

cassandra’s ship is incredibly dear to her and was her home for over two decades, was the birthplace of her best friend, and connects her to her lost planet more than anything else. With losing her ship, even if she’s able to repurpose the pieces of it, is a devastating blow to a woman who has lost her husband, her sons, her other adopted children, and her best friend. and, with the loss of her ship, is now essentially stranded on earth.

turtle mutants

despite maximus having killed off most turtle mutants, cassandra was able to save three, and keeps them hidden from the rest of the world for fear that word would get back to maximus. their names are cosimo, jean, and paolo, and cassandra loves them very much.

how cassandra is able to care for the mutants she takes in

it took cassandra over six months to completely repurpose her ship into the mobile fortress. and when i say mobile fortress..i do mean mobile fortress. her ship was designed to comfortably fit crews of 50+ grown capellans, so the mobile fortress is h u g e.

now, the only town near paola’s cabin is an itty bitty town, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say they all either died or became feral mutants. cassandra essentially looted the entire town and stocked up her fortress. she usually scavenged the shit out of wherever she goes- and that works, but she’s well aware that it’s not sustainable.

she starts a garden in the mobile fortress, and has the kids help her take care of it. i was wondering about what they’d do for meat considering most if not all animals were mutated and i’m going with : not everyone became sentient. some just got huge and that’s it.

it’s not like cassandra said “fuck you” to all the adults- she did take in confused and disorientated adults ( i mean everyone was confused and disoriented but You Know What I Mean). so long as they helped, they were welcome. but cassandra’s main priority is these kids.

ANYWAY. MY POINT BEING: at first, cassandra had the mutants that knew how to hunt, either from human life or from being a predator animal, hunt for meat for the rest of the group. and cassandra also has these adults help take care of the kids- the LAST thing cassandra wants is kids having to raise other kids. she wants to give them some semblance of a childhood.

in summary!

cassandra stocked up on food early on and continues to scavenge wherever possible

she started a rather large garden in the fortress

she has the adults that can hunt do so to get meat for the group

yeah basically it’s like a tribe of a mishmash of mutants

mutant kids growing up and cassandra’s role as ‘goddess’

as the kids grow up, they are given the option to leave, of course, but few want to, mostly because..you know, it’s the apocalypse. so over the years, the children that have grown up have built their own vehicles and basically created this…fleet that goes everywhere with the mobile fortress.

as for what they do when attacked…well, the fortress certainly isn’t defenseless, and neither are the, uh, mini-fortresses that travel with it. in fact, most people know to just fuck off and not bother cassandra’s tribe…which is in part also due to the myth and mystery surrounding her.

cassandra reveals to very, very few people that she’s an alien, and…doesn’t discourage people thinking she’s some sort of mother goddess.

the main belief is that cassandra was created as a result of the m-bomb, and ascended to become a fire wielding, clairvoyant mother goddess. only a select few are privy to cassandra’s actual life story.

some tribes do worship cassandra, which…is extremely uncomfortable for her. she can’t stand it. but it’s far safer and better for her children if she plays this part out. she ESPECIALLY plays up the goddess aspect in an au where there’s a fragment of atlas left inside her, since she will live for centuries and whatnot.

one unfortunate side effect is that parents will sometimes leave their children in the desert at night if they can’t take care of them, completely believing that the goddess will come take them into her care.

not long after this started, cassandra visited the tribes doing this and said that they could only do this on certain dates- that, powerful as she was, she could not be everywhere at once. now, on those dates, cassandra and a small number of her inner circle go out with her to find these children.

short list of the mutants cassandra’s taken in

patches, a mutated kitten and a former pet. the first mutant cassandra takes in. patches is mutated to be roughly 8 years old and grows up to be cassandra’s right hand woman.

peaches, a parakeet who joins her on the way out of new york city. she’s roughly 15 after mutation and wears an aviator’s cap she found

cosimo, paolo, and jean, a trio of turtle mutants who were left in the desert for cassandra to take into her care, because the tribe knew maximus was coming. cassandra does admittedly favor these three, and names them after renaissance artists. 

paolo is partially named after paola though.

jean is also partially named after joan of arc  (jeanne d’arc)

cassandra picked cosimo because it looks like cosmos

patches

patches, an orange tabby kitten, didn’t know what to do when her human family was mutated. but she did remember the parents of her owner, a little boy named francis, talking about what francis should do in an emergency. so, patches searched for days for a human adult when she finally stumbled on a tall, blonde haired woman who was frantically searching through the rubble.

patches stopped the human, and asked her, if she would, please come help her family. they were all strange looking now, and wouldn’t move no matter what she did. the human looked distraught- and for a moment, patches was certain that she was going to say no. but the human came with her anyway, all the way back to their tiny apartment.

when the woman, who eventually revealed that her name was cassandra, saw patches’s family, she immediately looked sad. patches didn’t understand it at first- didn’t understand what “dead” meant, didn’t understand why her family wouldn’t wake up.

cassandra was so patient with her, even when patches began to understand and started sobbing into her shirt. when patches had calmed down, cassandra offered to take care of patches from now on, if she wanted. the kitten had nowhere else to go, knew no one else…of course she said yes.

over days, then months, then years, patches grew to be a strong, competent young woman, who never forget her first human family, but swore to protect her mishmashed mutant one.

the night of the goddess’ children

the night where tribes will leave the children for cassandra to take into her care is formally called the night of the goddess’ children.

cassandra, having been abandoned and given the -ndra suffix on capella herself, wants these children to feel loved and accepted from the moment they board the mobile fortress. that’s why they have something akin to a birthday party awaiting the new children when they come back. no one outside cassandra’s tribe knows about it, so it’s a surprise party, and it’s always a lot of fun

the m bomb

cassandra honest to god thought that the m-bomb was gonna be no big deal. they’d been through so much, so many world ending threats and come out on top almost every time. she was blinded by her confidence in her boys, and when the bomb did drop? it was like the ground gave way underneath her. for a long time, she wondered when she was going to wake up from this nightmare. when splinter was going to shake her awake and reveal everything - splinter’s death, the m-bomb, her boys going missing- it was all a bad dream. a possible future, yes, but one she could work around.

sometimes she’ll still get that feeling of it all being a dream.

hellion

hellion only adopts like 7 kids but she has an army of like 70 extremely dangerous mutants who tried to kill her and joined her after she beat the shit out of them. they protect the wasteland as best they can, frequently going up against maximus kong’s underlings. her army loves how nuts she is, doing shit like taking on huge armies all at once and by herself, challenging maximus kong in front of his rig, with no escape plan, and in general throwing herself into ultra dangerous situations.
