[tnbc-thoughtsandheadcanons]

After reading Zero's Journey (loved it) I had a random thought in my mind. Is it possible for a holiday town resident to integrate into another holiday? Would the resident even survive living in a different holiday? I've barely seen any theories about this, so I would love to hear some thoughts about it!

I actually made a post thinking about this exact same thing in regards to Mr. Myzer! Truth be told, I thought this would've been a prominent / big thing in Zero's Journey, since they hinted to it - I was a little disappointed that Myzer's arc didn't lead him to Halloween Town, and how that would've affected the holiday/towns/citizens. We could've gotten a HUGE insight to potential exchanges between the holiday towns!

It makes me wonder if it's possible for Residents to move into a different holiday/town, since they have a purpose to fulfill for the humans with where they are. As I mentioned in the post, an Elf in Halloween Town would be a strange thing - but if Myzer's menacing shadows/past are anything to go by, is it possible for different creatures to integrate into another holiday? So long as they serve the humans, would it be alright? That they all come to the same goal? Or does each holiday prohibit their inhabitants from living in another world, since it would cause another catastrophe like Jack Skellington's takeover of Christmas? Is it magically, or set by fate, to be *impossible*? 🤔

Long Live the Pumpkin Queen *lightly* delves into the Holiday leaders working together, but I would love to know more, if they have certain rules or codes of conduct when it comes to this sort of thing. I like to think they'd share their holidays with each other, teach them about it and maybe even celebrate together! I'm sure that, inevitably, the question would come - could someone from one holiday, simply choose to live in a different town? LLTPQ mentions the leaders/residents *visiting* the other worlds/towns, but I'd love to know what the limits are to that.

One of TNBC's takeaways is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. Jack Skellington *couldn't* take charge of Christmas, he belongs to Halloween, and thus had to find his inspiration elsewhere. Maybe there's a limitation that each soul is destined to a holiday and cannot mix/move elsewhere. It's a sad thought, but just one of the theories, if the movie is anything to go by..!

Zongzheng Huai'en and The Scorpion King

if I had to think of another character to sort of... compare Zongzheng Huai'en to, from another show I've watched...it occurred to me that he's a little bit like Xie Wang / the Scorpion King from Word of Honor (I can't speak to how he is in the book yet).

In both cases, a "not father" raises and grooms them from a young age to be a ruthless killer and work for them. There are certainly different factors in the Xie Wang / Zhao Jing relationship than with Huai'en and his "not dad." Zhao Jing plays at being kind sometimes in a manipulative way whereas ZZ Yuzhan is just openly evil and cruel all the time. And there are, other differences...

But in both cases, there is a REASON why the characters are ruthless killing machines and don't seem to have a concept for human relationships and love + care in like.... a typical way. That's just all they've known and been taught for most of/their whole life.

For Xie Wang, Zhao Jing is the person he loves, and when he is betrayed by him, he can't let him go - so ultimately he poisons him so he can never speak again, disabling him in such a way so that ZJ will always be under his control. To him, if the person he loves disappoints him, controlling that person is the only option. Not letting them go. Because he's been controlled for most of his life.

For Huai'en, he was controlled his ENTIRE life and basically shown NO tenderness + love even in a manipulative way, so he is, in some ways, even more extreme about it when someone finally shows him any love at all - Xiaobao. And due to this and his upbringing he doesn't really understand the uh, differences in certain actions - like (apparently) cheating on someone at a brothel vs. murdering and imprisoning people.

When Xiaobao disappoints Huai'en, he acts in a similar way to Xie Wang, taking actions that are supposed to get Xiaobao under his control, so he can't do the bad thing again. Like "I'll make it impossible for you to hurt me again, and it means I'll still have you, and no one else will."

The major difference here is that Xiaobao is, you know, not a horrible manipulative groomer like Zhao Jing. His love for Huai'en is genuine. I've had the thought, what if someone else showed The Scorpion King love, for real, not to manipulate him -- would he have turned out differently? (you can draw parallels w/ him and Wen Kexing on that note, too).

And that's the thing in MYATB - Huai'en actually has the opportunity to learn a love that isn't controlling, and to learn about why human relationships are valued for more than just having power over someone. He's already seen that if he tries to control someone he actually loves, it can go really really badly, and he already has regrets.

Zhao Jing didn't have such regrets with controlling Xie Wang bc he never actually cared about him, and the same with Zongzheng Yuzhan -- he won't regret treating Huai'en as he did because he sees him as an object.

Half-formed DT thoughts (spoilers)

I think it’s interesting that a lot of characters in Dawntrail are pretty decent with good intentions but still hurt others. I think we’re in a fandom understanding stage rn where everyone is trying to point fingers at specific characters like Well Cahciua and Erenville don’t understand each other which means one or the other is Bad but all it really means is that they don’t understand each other. And the tragedy comes from them not having the time or words to do that. Because that can happen even when you strive to understand one another…

same with like, I don’t believe that Gulool Ja Ja was offscreen abusing Zoraal Ja for some reason to make him Like That when all the evidence we see is that he’s a good father, but what we do see is that Zoraal Ja was resistant to communicating his feelings and Gulool Ja Ja didn’t realize he needed to reach out. So that festered despite GJJ still loving him as a misguided son and ZJ seeing his father as the ideal he has to meet. Obviously Zoraal Ja has done other stuff that makes him A Bad Guy but it’s not as cut and dry as fandom character processing and moral categorization always tries to be lol

Sphene is in a similar thing where she’s a foil to Wuk Lamat bc they ultimately have the same motivations. If Wuk Lamat had been through the same situations she could’ve come to the same mistakes and all that, and no matter what happens somebody’s home and way of life gets destroyed. It’s the WoL and Hades “the victor will determine and doom the villain” situation again imo. Sphene and the Cross Dimensional Trolley Problem

Why does Brother Wen have such a strange expression on his face? What does he have in common with Gao Chong? WOH, episode 8. WKX and ZZS come to the Yueyang sect headquarters. One of the sect's disciples asks them to wait outside. Both men look around. Soon ZJ and SS come outside. ZJ greets ZZS and WKX by name. WKX responds politely to the greeting and ZZS stands there saying nothing. The SS immediately goes on the attack, saying that they were looking for them earlier, but they showed up on their own. WKX asks if the SS was looking for him and he replies that he feels honored. SS tells him to stop pretending and explains that no one expected what happened at Sanbai Manor. He accuses WKX and ZZS of leaving without a word. WKX apologizes and says that when he saw what was happening, he thought they were unwelcome there, so they decided to leave. He adds that they left a note before leaving and asks for an explanation why the SS blames them. SS says it's a good excuse. He points out that the day they left, Sanbai Manor was robbed. He asks how he explains it. WKX replies that he will not comment on it, and then turns to ZJ and asks if he blames him for the theft. ZJ says it's a misunderstanding and explains to SS that they are the benefactors of the Five Lakes Alliance and how he can suspect them. At this point, GC appears and ZJ introduces him to both men, saying that WKX brought ZCL to Sanbai Manor. GC looks closely at ZZS and WKX, and after a moment of silence, asks WKX if they know each other. WKX who was also looking at GC carefully replies that GC is a famous person so he knows him and is honored that GC knows WKX, finally asks if GC knows who WKX is. GC apologizes and says he doesn't know WKX. He adds that since he knew ZZS, he thanks him and ZZS for their help. ZZS looks at WKX and wonders why WKX has such a strange expression on his face and what he has in common with GC. This is the first meeting of ZZS and WKX with GC. ZZS just wants to know if ZCL feels good in his new home, so he thinks it is reasonable to enter the premises of the GC sect headquarters. He doesn't know WKX's true motives. WKX, on the other hand, coldly and calculatedly wants to meet each of the living brothers of the Five Lakes Alliance. Even though he hides his true feelings towards them well, he cannot hide them from ZZS. ZZS does not yet know the reason for WKX's reluctance towards the five brothers. Moreover, in this scene ZZS is a silent observer, years of practice and service at the court of Prince Jin have taught him how to get to know the area without anyone noticing. This skill and observation will come in handy when ZZS appears stealthily at the Manor to meet with ZCL. ZZH here is such a calm contrast to the eloquent and polite GJ. ZZS in the performance of ZZH seems to be a silent boor who cannot behave himself. Nothing could be further from the truth, neither ZJ nor SS noticed that ZZS looked different. Besides, ZZH as ZZS looks great in these outfits, as does GJ as WKX.

do you specify byakuya's mother's name as anastazja with a zj to differentiate her from the canonical anastasia togami (the mother of the weather triplets, asa/hiru/yoru togami) from the side novels?

It's mostly that Anastazja is the Polish spelling of the name, and I headcanon his mother as being from Poland. I also headcanon her maiden name as being Polanski, which is what Togami used as part of his disguise in the novel. These are all headcanons of course!!

The name means resurrection and Togami at the end of the competition becomes The Togami, so to speak. He goes from being out of the competition ('dead' as he refers to the exiled siblings) to being the only one 'alive'. He resurrects, in a way.

yes i like to put too much thought into things most people won't realise sdfdsfds

ZJ talking about the mighty respect-worthy sword immortal, praising his techniques and execution, calling him undoubtedly the strongest warrior amongst them Xie'er: I thought he'd be taller

Hey y'all Sorry I've been gone for a while. I was much busier this month than I thought I was as half of it was spent house sitting for my parents.

Unfortunately it's not over yet so there won't be a comic this week either because of it, but I promise things will get back to it after this month is over.

Thank y'all for your patience -- ZJ

Also here's that final panel without the text, thought it looked nice :)

Thanks for the patience! Comics are gonna take a while to finish, sorry!

Watching the 2004 punisher movie with dad now..... why is john travolta the villain

[shjiyemis]

This is a sad thought, but what would happen if someone found Gamzee and ZJ? Would they take ZJ away or something worse?

Actually have a few concepts for that!

-Gamzee getting badly hurt and ZJ screaming and crying and their telepathy screams into the minds of ppl nearby, forcing ppl to become either curious or panicked and going towards.

-Gamzee getting sick and unresponsive from malnutrition and generally unhealthy and ZJ finding them and getting help.

-Someone sees ZJ get snatched into the forest and panics and tries to get him. They catch up and find ZJ with Gamzee, obviously happy comfortable.

-Gamzee coming out in attack mode when they find that ZJ is in danger before grabbing him and running.

----------

None of these situations is ZJ taken away because Gamzee is obviously a caring and good guardian, and ZJ is greatly taken care of and loves Gamzee very much. It obviously would damage ZJ way more to be taken away then to stay with Gamzee.

Though I'm can't guarantee ppl won't be SUS of Gamzee tho.

I'd imagine Gamzee would work themselves into interaction much more after.

[yuanzhous]

My turn! Jiuxiao or Wen Kexing!

yeah, like you don't know I'm gonna do both

stealing your color coding bc it's cool, we'll use this for wkx and this for jiuxiao

a song that reminds me of them

When You Break by Bear's Den

none pls suggest me jiuxiao songs

what they smell like

expensive perfume and saltwater

plum flowers, obviously

an otp

wenzhou, hanwenzhou

jiuxiao × jing'an, I guess? also my jiuxiao × jing'an x su qingluan crackship bc its funny and this himbo deserves two bad bitches

a notp

wkx x zj? I don't know if anyone ships that, but I would hate it for sure

yunxu is either a notp or a sure-tp depending on the vibes, I've not seen jiuxiao shipped with many other ppl

favorite platonic/familial relationships

WKX AND GX THEY ARE SIBLINGS SHE'S HIS DAUGHTER THEY ARE EVERYTHING

I'm a sucker for jixuao and hy friendship, as you know, but I'd also love to see him be a gege to gx and cl

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with

I tend to take most hcs about wkx's upbringing in the gv with a dose of skepticism, like sure, maybe, but what does that mean and how would it actually impact his character? but that's not focused on any particular hc

ig I hate the interpretation that his attraction to zzs was insta-love, like no he thought that guy was sus and got attached to him along the way

that he's completely stupid and unaware of what's happening around him? I like my jiuxiao fairly sweet and kind and somewhat oblivious to the darker sides of life, but still with a lot of emotional intelligence and awareness of the shit that's going on that he actively has to supress

the position they sleep in

curled in on his side, facing the wall

sprawled out like a starfish, snores lightly

a crossover au i’d love to see them in

cql bc give me wkx with the other wens

...I can't think of any, actually

(edit: actually he'd be super funny to throw into blood of youth, I feel like, although I've only seen like three episodes. I feel like he would delight in that genre)

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn

ep 31 gvm wkx is where it's at

how many outfits does he have? the one in the sad jiangs flashback scene
