An exploration about Dashi and Wuya's past together and individually, with a few ideas in mind: How did the two meet and cause rivalry with each other? How did Wuya become the feared Heylin Witch? Was Dashi responsible for it somehow? How complex was their relationship together before their final battle?
It'd be even more interesting to dive into the side Dashi that we never got to see before, like maybe see the serious side of him before he became the laid-back grandmaster we know and love
if a new Xiaolin showdown season were to be created, what plotlines and/or character arcs would you like to see?

Neither Chase nor Omi thought of destiny as something that could be fought traditionally… until they met each other and decided that destiny is something they’d fight to shape with their own hands. Both each other’s and their own.
They’re stubborn and prideful, have so much faith in their abilities and believe all their own hype, but somehow they’re still very fatalistic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You poor, naïve fool. You’ll never become a dragon.
Chase accepted it when Hannibal told him his destiny was on the Heylin side, unless he intended to languish in obscurity on the Xiaolin side. He’s not especially enthusiastic about it, at first, but after thinking it over, he makes the decision to throw away everything he believes in to go down that path.
If the choices set out for him are obscurity or evil, he’ll make his choice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s only one path for you now.
When Omi saw through the Crystal that his destiny was to destroy the world, Omi was so unquestioningly certain that he couldn’t stop himself from going down that path that the only viable option he saw was “taking the long walk”.
They were both ready and willing to throw away their dreams. Fate had something else in store for them. They could only rise to meet it or run from it. There were no third options they could carve for themselves.
“Sometimes our destiny is determined by events that are out of our control.”
Tumblr media
Omi was paralyzed with fear even when his friends did bring him back. 
In a bout of learned helplessness, he refused to break his ice prison. He’d rather die than let his destiny be kickstarted. And he wasn’t convinced to not be suicidal or fatalist by the end of the episode, he just realized the vision that had convinced him happened to be faked. He still held the belief that if there’s a chance he may be evil, he should sooner die.
Tumblr media
And Chase throws away everything to meet his Destiny and join Hannibal. 
He commits atrocities until he acquires a taste for a them, pushes himself through the difficult transition until he wholeheartedly enjoys being evil. Now, he actively wants to watch the world he used to protect, burn.
Tumblr media
But after Omi meets Chase, Omi learns the complexity and the spunk to push back against that internal doomerism. 
When Wuya and Jack and Vlad were telling Omi his destiny was joining the Heylin side, Omi took “the long walk.” 
When Chase repeatedly tells Omi that his destiny joining the Heylin side, and even succeeds in tricking him over to it, which directly causes the end of the world, Omi still banters back, “No, you’ll be joining me on the Xiaolin side together.”
And Chase starts the whole plan under the idea of this binary, either Omi joins him or Chase needs to kill him before Omi is strong enough to destroy Chase. The former keeps not happening, but it gets to the point where Chase just refuses to consider the latter.
Chase and Omi make each other remember their pride.
Because they are prideful, and who is anyone else to give them these limited, lackluster options?
“Either I’m wrong or destiny itself is wrong. And I’m not wrong. Even if I am, I’ll bend time and space itself until I’ve force the world to acknowledge that I’m right. I’m the greatest warrior this world has ever known, and I kowtow to nothing I don’t respect. Not even fate.”

A facepalm to his own face in annoyance

A backhand to a ghost's face for quiet

Roughly grabbing someone by the face to chuck them at a dinosaur

Gently papping a little one on the face to wake him up

Omi gets easily distracted while driving and Kimiko experiences terrible road rage, so neither of them are allowed behind the wheel anymore
Clay is technically the best driver on the team, and he's even forklift certified and used to driving things like tractors. He doesn't like the feel of most motorized vehicles though, and vastly prefers the feel of riding something alive like a horse or a dragon. Plus, Clay drives responsibly and slowly, in a way that Kimiko and Rai have compared to how an old lady would drive, and in a way that's not really suited for chases
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And thus, the monk's usual designated driver is Raimundo by default
...That is, whenever it's not Dojo, the licensed pilot

Finally starting this Chase-centric chapter and I think it's going great (has only mustered up 385 words in the last hour)
Here's a sneak peek to it:

I think the evil in you is stronger than you know.
Tumblr media
Perhaps I have been right about you all along. The good in you may be stronger than you know.
This little conversation encapsulates what good foils Chase and Omi make for each other.
Chase, to Omi: "I think you're trying so, so hard to be better than you truly are. Because you want to prove to yourself that you really are meant to be good, the greatest good, and all your lonely efforts and isolation and everything in your life that's led you here hasn't been a waste."
Omi, back to Chase: "Well, I think you're trying so, so hard to be worse than you truly are. Because you want to prove to yourself that you really are meant to be evil, the evilest evil, and all the choices you made and everything you sacrificed to get this far hasn't been a waste."
And the kicker is they're both absolutely correct.
They both want to see themselves as this perfect pinnacle of good and this perfect pinnacle of evil. And they're both just more grey than they want to let themselves accept. Which chafes up against the fact that they both see so much of themselves in each other.
And despite their self-confidence, they respect each other's opinions.
So the only person who shakes their belief that they truly are the pinnacle of everything they say they are, is each other.
