#theatre clone mk

[quitealotofsodapop]

So I can just imagine the rest of the Noodle Gang deciding to take MK out to a shadow play (with permission from Wukong cuz he was still grounded) because he's been pretty bummed out lately because of his Dad missing and the stress Wukong's been dealing with tbe revelation that Macaque is likely doing something very, very stupid dangerous and chose to keep it secret. And them MK fonds the lamp

Prev.

Aww. Wukong still wants his kiddo to have fun, just not the kind where he goes running off into danger. So theatre is allowed.

I'm giggling at the idea of the famous "The Hero and the Warrior" story being told... poorly by Jin and Yin, since Mac isn't there to direct. They 100% forget their lines, but they get the story across fine with the instructions Macaque left them. The Lantern spits out images that looks a bit like cartoon drawings.

Think the Holophonor from Futurama;

Jin: "And they lived 'appily ever after!" Yin: "'Cept of course until the Warrior went out for cigs and didn't come back." Jin: "Such is romance." The Noodle Gang: (*confused applause?*)

MK ofc slips away (pretending to get snacks) to get to the Shadow Lantern and check if Macaque left any messages recorded within via a shadow clone or something.

Luckily Macaque did. Well in a way...

Specifically, he left a few plays "re-recorded" inside the Lantern for the twins to use in their own productions. Lots of fairytales and stuff.

But one story thats unfamiliar to MK is one Macaque's shade introduces as "The White Bone Spirit"...

The other various outfits of Morro in Noodle Shop Ghost. Took me ages to finish this, but I’m happy with how it turned out!!

More info on the specific outfit details under the cut!

Sleepwear

- This outfit is Morro’s pajamas from the start of the series to current.

- The moons are both to represent y’know, nighttime, but also as a way of foreshadowing the Macaque connection in the later seasons.

- Morro let’s their hair down when they sleep

- The shirt text says “Great Sage Equal to Heaven” I think I hope I’m not fluent in other languages so I really pray that I got that correct. The shirt references Morro’s love of JTTW, and the character of Wukong within the book

- Morro uses face masks when he sleeps. Hey, if they have to have skin again, they wanna take care of it. Ish.

Work Uniform

- The outfit changes between seasons since Morro gets new looks, but the constants of it are the jacket and the gloves.

- Morro swaps out the hand wraps because he feels more sanitary wearing gloves. And because I feel like it would make people unsure about him handling food.

- Occasionally Morro will throw on other pants? But idk I wasn’t sure what to go with so I just did their final design clothing.

“Take Responsibility” episode

- Finally have a name for that fan episode I mentioned where Morro has a crisis!! Takes place in season 1. Thank you @randomcrapstories !!!!

- The only thing that’s different about the outfit here is the addition of the jacket, which I still haven’t decided if I want it to be a gift from MK and Mei, or Morro just straight up stole it. Still, it shows us the base design for the jacket as it appears later in the series!!

Theatre Outfit

- During the in-between point of season 3 and 4, Morro actually starts helping out Macaque with his theatre! Morro’s a stagehand; they do a lot of the special effects and such.

- This outfit is mainly just me putting Morro in cool looking clothes hehe

- It’s identical to Mac’s outfit in most ways! I changed the shoes tho, and the colors. And the patterns on the robe and sleeves are different too!

- Eyeliner because it’s fancy

Shadow Travel

- I’ve mentioned before how Morro is learning shadow magic from Macaque; the basics that Morro knows are kinda just like. Being able to hide inside of shadows, manipulating them on walls and stuff, and also those shadow portals.

- Macaque has a shadow form, and so does Morro. But this isn’t a clone form or anything, that will be its own design. This is just for like…idk. Shrouded in shadows and whatnot.

- I highlighted the two most important features of Morro in this au: the eyelashes and the scar. The scar is its own important thing; the eyelashes are just a style choice on my end.

Season 3 Lantern City Outfit

- This outfit is for that episode in season 3 with the third ring!!

- The jacket makes an appearance once again! Except now Morro has personalized it much more. Patches and pins and stuff.

- The gloves Morro has on were made by Sandy; Sandy didn’t want Morro to get cold lol.

- And ofc Morro’s markings on full display since they weren’t able to cover them in season 3

Uhhh I think that’s everything. I’m gonna do another one of these for Morro’s scrapped/bonus designs at some point too. So look forward to that!

[papirouge]

I used to be extremely skeptical of cloning that I thought hardly achievable realistically bc it meant people were cloned from birth? But if that so, what would happen of their clone for all this time? Wouldn't they be socially inept if not dangerous, if they had spent their whole life hidden once realizing they're just a copy of an already existing person who got picked over us for some time à la "Us"?) until I I realized how many celebs have known double. Programming à la MK ultra shoving into their psyche all the memories and personality traits of the celebrity would be pretty easy (there's no wonder many celebrities family and close circles are 'handlers' who know them extremely well). It then becomes more credible - especially if you consider that MK ultra can do much more than what it's said of it.

I remember this story of a woman who had tried to break through theatre play who said that throughout her career she met people she initially knew (when they were younger), who, after meeting them again a few years later, had something physically off with their physical appearance (change of ear shape or smile) and even their behavior (for example she knew someone who was left handed that, when she met them years again, was right handed).

She said she never made it really big bc she always refused to sell out, but those who did ended up being fucked up (in every sense possible) despite achieving a higher lever of the ladder at some point.

The PR around Keanu is pretty impressive. He's one of those celebrities that can't be remotely criticized without facing a horde of NPC coming at his defense. There's the same phenomenon with Zendaya. I once said she was a Weinstein girl/protégé à some point, and people came from nowhere to drag me....we were on a JAPANESE news website. Meanwhile, every single person I know IRL says how stale and boring she looks & acts but on the internet that's the opposite dynamic. That's very suspicious... 🤔

As for Biden, everyone knows that Barack Obama is the one in control right now. I wouldn't be surprised Biden is already dead abd that he's just a manipulated flesh puppet. I know it might sound crazy but I'm from Africa and there's a known phenomenon of sorcerers bringing back to life people they cursed while they were still living, and then digging out their body (after they got buried) to "reanimate" them and then using them as slaves who are neither dead or alive and will serve them without any capacity to know rest (spiritually or physically)....

I think that some of these stories about Keanu Reeves are made up as an elaborate PR to make him look good.

[rottedsoulx]

So update on that au I was thinking of making!

I’m making it!

4Clones AU where the clones persist after being made, the more often they are called out the stronger and more independent they become. (Or if they’re made with strong enough intent that they gain their own sentience and personalities that makes them stronger by default)

More info under the cut!

Ppl who saw my last post conceptualizing this au probably noticed there’s an “Evil” clone. That’s actually Theatre Kid MK! (Nicknamed Theo) I’ll explain him later haha

Noodle: (delivery MK, orange) Noodle is the most mature of the group, being the first clone to be made. He’s a responsible older brother for everyone else. He looks out for their mental and physical well-being, often making food for the others (who easily fixate on their work and forget to eat). He still has his powers, but making himself bigger/smaller comes naturally. He carries the braincell.

Artie: (artist clone, purple) Artie is a tired bitch who needs sleep. He’s considered to be twins with Theo (despite being made first) due to their similar interests and personalities. He’s very driven and focused on his craft, and will not hesitate to destroy anyone who gets in his way. His one track mind usually leads to extreme burnout, which is why he appears tired all the time. He eventually gets adopted by Sandy bc I said so!

Theo: (theatre clone, blue) Theo is an actor, and was made by me for the purpose of this au lol. Much like Artie, he is very focused on what he wants to achieve. For Theo, this mostly meant meeting Macaque and being taught a thing or two about acting. Turns out, Macaque was willing to teach him more than just acting and ended up using his own powers to make Theo VERY durable. So durable that he could persist after a major injury if the need be. This eventually leads into some other stuff I might write about later but are hinted at in the doodles-?

Porty: (porty mk, pink) Porty is porty! Made with the purpose of “having fun” Porty manages to achieve this in the most gremliny way possible. He’s considered the youngest due to his immature personality, he is also slightly shorter than the other clones. He’s focused more on himself most of the time and often forgets about others’ feelings. If he does notice someone is down he does his best to cheer them back up, and struggles with his own feelings of inadequacy when it doesn’t work. He eats music (and whatever Noodle feeds him) and has no friends, despite claiming to have an absurd amount.

I also drew them all as monkies at the mention of them on the discord I was talking about them on heeheehoohoo

Theatre LMK au (note: since my spellcheck keeps fucking me over, we'll be using MK and Mei instead of their actual names for this post):

Ok, so this is a three-part show, done like that one fucking 18 hour opera in the sense that you have to go see all the parts to get the full story.

It's also not unlike Come From Away in terms of how many cast and crew members there are and everyone playing multiple roles.

Each season is one show, with a brief transition screen (the animation shown at the end of the episode) flying in from segment to segment. The entire stage rotates, with a total of three relatively constant sets and one space that's used for whatever special thing is needed. The constants are the noodle shop, Monkey King's lair, and a generic forest area.

DBK is actually three different people all moving the suit around and one of them shouting all the lines (the other two are usually the guys who play Silver and Gold because they're on the least).

PIF's hair is a wig that she built herself. She also does WBD's makeup.

The possession moments are actually a really complicated transition sequence done one of two ways if it's onscreen. There's either a convincing body double and a well-timed fall-to-swap (onstage person falls, 'possessed' falls w/them, og rolls off as the 'possessed' one rises) with the original actor for that character now wearing special contact lenses, or creating a smokescreen and focusing attention away from that character for the five seconds they need to put the contacts in. It's part of why when Monkey King is possessed, there's a cut to MK's reaction.

The falling trick is also used for Macaque's appearances and disappearances. It's combined with trapdoors in the stage and hidden swinging/rotating panels in the sets.

Lots of little gadgets that shoot out fake fire. Red Son is responsible for their creation and testing.

Related to that, his actual hair looks a lot like the character hair, but he wears a wig that has fake fire tech built in that allows it look like live flame with the flick of a button (usually hidden in his sleeves and handed off to PIF when that's not an option).

All of the demon characters have on a MASSIVE amount of body paint and complex makeup to make the horns and glowing eyes look 'natural'.

A lot of the comedy moments are improvised and change from show to show.

Holographic effects are used for the clones. Clones that interact with real objects are done via a similar-looking actor hiding in a hologram that's modded to work with their body instead of being pre-programmed in it's moments.

The light and soundboard have the ability to insert light and sound effects on the fly for improvised comedy bits.

WBD is actually played by three different people: The girl, her twin, and a woman who looks like the girls if they were older. They swap out off-screen or when the lights briefly go dim before revealing the creepy glow.

Scorpion Queen and Spider Queen are played by the same woman, in an almost identical costume. The body stays the same with the limbs being switched out. Silver and Gold (much like with DBK) control the body's motions so she can use her arms and say the lines without needing to worry about moving the bulky costume.

Macaque is a certified stage combat instructor, qualified for both weapons and bare-hand combat. He teaches MK and Sun how to fight with a staff and has the entire cast go through basic warmup exercises every day.

Tang is the group historian/researcher. He works with Sandy to make the sets more accurate and leaves notes for the costumers.

Mei and Red Son are the primary tech-geeks in the group and built a majority of the transforming mechs and cars out of scrap and old vehicles.

The purple demon that corrals Silver and Gold is the stage manager. She only has 3 appearances in the entire show because she's calling cues and herding everyone to where they need to be the rest of the time. The lever she pulls in season 3 is just about the only scripted bit that calls for special effects that she doesn't call and is triggered by her pulling the lever from one side to the other.

There are about seven extras in total, all of whom are constantly donning new wigs and accessories to look like different people. Whichever one of the WBD girls isn't currently onstage/about to go on helps with hair clips and checking for any quick-change mistakes. All of the other background people are just well-painted set-pieces and actors for named characters that aren't appearing in this episode or the next one.

Red Son not appearing in Season 2 and most of Season 3 was because of the larger amount of robots it was necessary to operate. He's controlling all of the little spiders and creating the creepy flickering lights during Macaque's mini-shows.

The shadow effect for Macaque is one of the most complicated things they work with. From hidden doors and panels, to brief blackouts, to wire harnesses that have to be disguised on the spot, the appearances and disappearances of a certain monkey are pure evil.

Nezha is the assistant stage manager. He was only persuaded to appear in the 3rd show when it was promised that he wouldn't have to be onstage for long. He's almost always standing in for straight-man characters whenever someone needs to practice lines and their partner isn't available.

The crew is surprisingly chill with each other. Unlike Phantom's orchestra, they mostly get along.

Pigsy is a great cook both on and offstage. He's in charge of catering and makes sure to set aside some extra snacks for younger actors and anyone doing an especially complex scene.

The jokes about Wukong having stage fright are based off of an actual conversation he and MK had during their very first tech week.

[the-queer-fox]

R says:

[quitealotofsodapop]

Vixen, via Astral Projection: Wukong, my darling! You look as lovely as ever, Nǚxù!

Wukong, already knowing somethings up: *sigh* What did he do?

Vixen: I saw little Xiaotian sneaking around my theatre, do I want to know why?

Wukong: He's supposed to be there to watch the play, nothing more. He's grounded!

Vixen: Oh? Whatever for?

Wukong: You know that "Monkie Kid" that's been running around with my staff?

Vixen, having a light bulb moment: Ah, I'd thought his magic felt familiar. I take it hw was doing this without your permission.

Wukong: Or my knowledge!

Vixen: It's to be expected, he is your son. Anyways, I have a feeling you'll like what he found.

+some Anons with a similar vibe;

prev.

Aww.

The Vixen is an adoring mother-in-law and grandmother, almost suffocatingly so. And in raising two rascals like the Gold & Silver twins; she has a sixth sense for when kits are doing something without their parents' permission. Wukong knows that when she calls in unannounced that one of his cubs is causing chaos.

I feel like Jin & Yin were just doing simple fairytales for kids, stuff that was easy enough for them to create with their limited magic ability, but when they realised that MK and his new friends were in the crowd, they decided to have a crack at their big bro's fave story. They thought it would be a cool gesture to show the "new pilgrims" the story of how the Monkey King & his Warrior got together, since it's not very well known outside monkey demon circles. And ofc they don't do it so good since they didn't rehearse and have no idea have to properly control the Lantern's projections.

So cut to MK during the intermission (it was booked as a double-feature), sneaking around backstage to grab the lantern from his uncles, only to see the "pre-recordings" that Macaque left to aid the twins in their plays. Including an ominous, fable-like, retelling of some entity called "The White Bone Spirit" that the Monkey King and his comrades had to seal away after the Journey had completed.

After MK finds the Lantern, he's confronted by Zǔmǔ Vixen wondering what he's doing. MK splutters and conjures up a lie that he wanted to see if the Lantern "liked" him more so he could show his friends "The Hero & The Warrior" as he remembers it. The Vixen isn't convinced that was the only reason, but she recognises that her grandkid is severely missing his dad and is searching; not only for clues on where he's gone, but for his baba's stories.

Wukong arrives at the theatre looking furious with his eldest for sneaking around, the cubs still clinging to him as they haven't their baba around to take care of them. The Noodle Gang greet the angry Monkey KIng inside the stands.

Sandy: "Hi Mr Monkey King!" Pigsy: "What are you doing out and about? Told ya' I'd text if anything happened." Wukong: "I'm just checking in to make sure MK knows he's still grounded. Why isn't he with you guys?" Mei: "MK said he needed to grab something before the next story started." Wukong: "I swear, if he's rummaging through his dad's props for whatever reason-" Jin, on-stage: "Ladies and gents! We'd like to inform you that due to popular demand, the director of the next play has been swapped." Yin: "We're on break." Jin: "So please welcome to the stage; Qi Xiaotian!"

The Vixen suddenly pushes MK onto the stage - gesturing him to restart the story her twins butchered.

The Noodle Gang and Wukong sit confusedly as MK takes the stage. As MK lifts the Lantern the shadows form into two monkey demons standing side-by-side... the narration provided by a shadow clone of the Six Eared Macaque, carefully "pre-recorded" inside the Lantern in case his cubs needed an emergency bedtime story from their baba.

MK hasn't as a polished control over the Lantern as his father, but his own memories of the tale combined with how he sees his parents form the images in the shadows.

Wukong watches silently. It's as if his eldest cub and his mate were trying to tell the tale together.

Instead of the "bad" ending as in canon, the tale has an epilogue where the Hero and the Warrior find A Little Piece of Heaven. The two former-friends journey together to ensure that the Little Heaven stays safe from all the enemies they made on Earth and in the other Realms. As their journey progresses, the Hero and the Warrior began to heal the wounds they had caused one another, and the Little Heaven grew bigger. Until one day, they confessed that they were still in love and wanted to stay as "their" Hero and Warrior alone. The Little Heaven, fed by the Hero and the Warrior's love and the things they'd experienced together, formed into a baby. The Hero and the Warrior returned to their original home, deciding that they did not need to be the strongest or the most renowned to be happy - they only needed to be Together with their Little Heaven.

The applause in the room is quieted only by the snores of the four monkey cubs.

MK runs up to the stand, apologising for going against his grounding rules, only for Wukong to pull his eldest into a soft hug.

Wukong, teary-eyed: "Oh bud... I don't think I care about that right now. I haven't heard your baba tell that tale in so long I... I started to wonder if the Warrior ever regretted staying home with the Hero." MK, tears forming: "I... so did I, mama. Guess I really needed to hear that story again too. Wukong & MK: (*share a super-sappy hug*) The Noodle Gang: (*awws quietly as each has a baby monkey sleeping on them*) Mei, whispering: "You did SO GOOD monkey man!" (*thumbs up*) Tang: "Miles better than the last telling." Yin, accidentally via microphone: "Yeah, we made a right bollocks of it!" Jin: "Ssshhh!" Yin, takes mouth away from mic: "Oh, sorry." Noodle Gang + monkeys: (*quiet snickering as the cubs grumble in their sleep*)

The Vixen smiles at her kit's little family. She hopes he comes home soon and can finally tell the story with his eldest for real.

The Bone Demon's Thrall claps from the other side of the audience. His Lady will be delighted to know that the Shadow Lantern is here...
