#we gotta look out for Talon tho xD

[writerfae]

I am sorry for blowing up your notifications with asks! Last one for today, I swear!

What would happen if characters from early on in the story (so Aiden already met Talon and the others, but hasn't found Henry yet) met their future selves?

I mean, imagine early Talon being insulted, that he ended up with Aiden, and him and future Talon getting into fights over Aiden's honor.

Meanwhile, the Aidens are gossiping about him ending up with the hot guy

Early Talon: How dare you!

Future Talon: Listen! You don't get it! He's an idiot!

Aidens: Hey!

But what about the others?

Do you think Aiden would feel bad because we call him an idot a lot? If so, I'm sorry, I love you!!!

Noo don’t apologize, I love getting asks from you! It’s always fun!

Talon insulting Aiden and Future Talon getting all offended on his behalf would be so funny tbh. Also I think he’d look at his past self and be like “was I really like that™️?”

Also I think it would be funny if Talon would be the only one of the four who’s really surprised to hear that he ends up with Aiden. Maya and Halea are just like yep, makes sense

As for the girls meeting their future selves, I think Halea would bomb future Halea with questions about her future. She’s be mostly interested in what has become of her career as a guard xD

Future Halea would be just as hyped. She tells her past self how she has a pretty high rank now and past Halea would be like hell yeah. They’d probably end up in some stupid competition, knowing Halea…

Maya is more hesitant to interact with her future self, though she’s curious she’s also worried about what her future looks like. Future Maya understands that of course, so she just tells her “it will all turn out well in the end, just you wait. And stay strong, I know they *points at the other three* are a handful but they’ll grow softer with age”

Since we all know knowing your future is a bad idea they shouldn’t tell so much probably. But who knows maybe their younger versions won’t remember it anymore after their future selves left.

At least it would be better than that cause I honest to god believe early story Talon couldn’t cope with this knowledge xD he could never look at Aiden without blushing and we can’t let that happen, lest the boy looses his indifferent facade, right?

I think Aiden would forgive us calling him an idiot, because we mean it in an affectionate way. I think through Talon he knows by now that we don’t actually mean it and it’s more like a term of endearment, haha.

And wowwwie. Because Azure isn't just like that with Wukong, but DBK too! Y'all need to learn how to be whumpy losers like Mackie over there and know when to give up /j it'll save you the pain. You're down bad for your original image of Wukong, but in all the wrong ways. You never really knew him. Azure would be great on call out and discourse twitter with the hot shots he thinks he's throwing about the whole situation with Princess Iron Fan and DBK deciding he doesn't want to rule the world now, just wants to be a family man. "Just another beast serving the will of the Monkey King." fr, even Mackie wasn't this obsessed when he was bothering MK with his ~ you're just like the hero~ helps that he changes his mind later and was less seething about it to begin with. Azure is like. "Wukong ruined my life." / srs, kind of hatred and is all "woe is us for what has become of our sworn brother." Speaking of people being obsessed with others. Why is Peng always talking about Macaque lmaooo. "That coward has tucked himself away where even I can't sniff him out." What makes you think he'd want to join? Probably heard you were looking. But Yeah, he's hanging out on FFM in some little cave area above where Wukong lives I think??? Was that place in the pilots, or was it the secret place we saw Wukong eating peaches that one episode?" Are they roommates with Mackie living rent free up there??? I gotta knoww pffff. But yo "sniff" y'know, Peng's VA suggested they might have a hate-crush on Mackie which is HILARIOUS. like, they only remember the one from before so that little fluffball??? that's the one you want???? what appeals to you, the fact past!Mackie is someone you can step on with those boots er talons? Ooh we just reached the sweet scene of MK and the baby monkey ugh I wuv them, and I see Mackie's cave has a nice view of the sun there ha-! and the lanterns I told you about!! sweet, those lanterns were also present during the Brotherhood dinner, 100% had to have been Mackie's design choice. its his trademark pretty much. There is logically no way Wukong just decided to leave them hanging in some random cave here too hence = bud totally lives here. We caught him sleeping here with baby monkey later XD awww. also his FACE when MK and friends drop in, he is SO proud of MK but will not say it. Also interesting eh? Monkie Gang share the opposite qualities of the Pilgrims. the ones they had to learn. the things that led to enlightenment. now they need to adopt the thing their ancestors had to let go of. but they also reject the destiny of being and doing things like their ancestors. this is part of the one thing that makes me ok with show! Tripitaka bc they're making the story more of the classic hero team journey personal growth thing by having Tripitaka learn THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP. we will see if I change my mind seeing the context of "Monkey! No violence!" Zhu Bajie becoming a "deeply caring and protective creature" cracks me up. He didn't achieve enlightenment and caused Wukong problems every step of the way when the Monk believed him every time. Like there's def some deeper representation and allegorical stuff there, but it escapes me atm. "The heart you have in abundance." was also pretty funny tho, bc Tripitaka represents the heart where Wukong is the mind. And Zhu and him were so often on the same page mmm. wonder if its on purpose.

I kinda wondered about Peng's obsession with Macaron too. It's possibly they have a lil bit of a crush on Mackie, but it's also possible that it's jealousy.

Oh, it's totally on purpose there.
