lol i'm seriously considering giving camp keshet a complete overhaul AGAIN... like y'know how it used to be universally bird-themed? and then i scrapped that when i made the theme flight generally speaking, thereby making each character's theme individual to their personal interests? and now i want to make it universally butterfly-themed???? like goodness gracious i need to stop

Procrastination doodles of sabo for the king sabo au :)

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

So like one thing I'm afraid of is for when the musical comes out and we (hopefully) get new fans, is fanon!Johnny. Like Johnny often infantilized in fanon which is annoying as fuck and I despise it, but a trend I see with these type of characters like that is that all of the sudden the fandom will be like 'omg why is this character being to woobified' which is good, but then they'll take it to the next extreme. Like in the ST, Will Byers is the sweet and sensitive character (he's also canonically gay) but in order not to fall into the 'feminine gay' stereotype, a lot of the fandom would make him hypermasculine (emphasis on him being muscular and broad, make him more sarcastic and done with everyone's bullshit, making him over-competent) which completely changes his character. Like seriously there's got to be some nuance here. Some middle ground maybe?

This may be a reach but

Both MK and Mei having something inside them that could be world-destroying, god-killing, and being afraid of it (with a bonus of Wukong hiding it from them both but idk if u think swk knew of the monkey form beforehand)

Bonus with Mei and MK having someone that can/has helped with training and mastering their abilities (Redson & Wukong respectively)

Oh boy, do I think SWK knew about MK's origins!

I've been a believer in this since post-s3, with there being plenty of evidence throughout the first 3 seasons to support it. Cause like, imma be honest, the show doesn't make sense if Wukong didn't know. I think by this point we can assume that choosing and training MK to be his "successor" was a cover story—Wukong LITERALLY couldn't have picked anyone else. I never really bought the whole "Monkey King gave you his powers!" explanation, especially when one of the first things he says to MK in AHIB is "Listen kid: You fought demons, and you didn't die, and you made it here! Not just anyone can lift my staff, but you did." And even MK had a different thought, thinking his powers came from the staff until 3x03. How would Wukong have even "given" MK his powers, like logistically anyways. There was just a lot that didn't line up! And then s4 came along, and implied "Yeah MK was born from the stone, and Wukong was there" and I was like, oh yeah that makes total sense.

And I'm also a believer in the Samadhi Fire Mei, Jade Emperor Azure, and Monkey MK trifecta of having uncontrollable, world-ending power (which they must also act as a "container" for). And you know, had the person losing control of the Jade Emperor's powers in 4x14 been one of MK's close friends, he would have been able to save them, I have no doubt. He already did so with Mei in 3x10—Mei wasn't even supposed to be able to withstand the samadhi fire. But she did (Yellowtusk "But he is my brother! I owe him my life!" parallel for the win, "No! Mei is my best friend!", YOU GET ME?). And it's like, in 3x10 MK standing by his friend was a good thing but in 4x13 Yellowtusk standing by his friend was bad. In s3 the gang trying to get the Samadhi Fire was "good" (even though they didn't really use it to defeat LBD by the end lol), and Azure trying to get the Jade Emperor's power was "bad". You see how the lines are blurring here. At the start of Monkey Kid, it's all monster of the week and "we have to stop the bad guys!". Now by this point it's "[blank] isn't necessarily a bad guy..." and "Every choice has consequences for someone", even the "good" ones. Is anyone hearing me.

And then don't even get me STARTED on "I can't be! I'm just MK!" "The Monkie Kid?". Because, I'll have you know Subodhi names Wukong in Journey to the West. I just read that chapter. And then in 4x06 he labels, or names, MK as the "Monkie Kid". And this "reason" just FEELS like it's going to involve a great amount of power, something that is...uncontrollable, even. And this time, this time when MK looses control, Mei is going to be the one to get through to him, aka Samadhi Fire Part 3. Like

tbh it's kind'a sad that wizards in rpg-style media are all 1 flavor. how did a class with such cool, wild possibilities consistently get boiled down to "character with underhanded ulterior motives that's on the brink of going mad with power" with only slight variations in execution. that's so boring. let me play my conjuration mailman that wants to learn teleportation to more efficiently do their job and not accidentally blow up the world and i'll show you how it's done

My brain: "It's okay Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa playing a tiny little flute can't hurt you"

Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa playing a tiny little flute:

i wish steven universe went more into the watermelon stevens (said no one ever, but hear me out!) i wish they went more into how steven made a whole society and abandoned them, just like the diamonds do, just like rose did. and how it demonstrates that having such immense powers very easily leads to a disregard for life.

The constant repetition of Yorozu's "love" speech to Sukuna makes me wonder. Is this actually referring to Gojo and how he is schooling Sukuna accidentally about what love can do to a person?

Despite all the sociopath allegations (fuck the guy that popularize that stupid take), Gojo knows love and he is capable of love.

Why is he fighting so hard right now? Is it really to win a dick measuring contest with Sukuna? NO!

Gojo is already comfortable with his own skin (Going back to this point later). He knows he is The Strongest. He even stated it so at the beginning of the fight. Sukuna is the challenger. The King of Curses is the one who is trying to win a dick measuring contest here.

Gojo has nothing to prove but he has everything to lose because he loves his kids. He is very bad at showing it at times because he is an overgrown adult gremlin. Yet, everything he does, it is always towards a future where the youth would not experience the same hell as he did. He doesn't want another Geto and Amanai.

It is because of the love Gojo has for his students that he is still alive and kicking despite all odds. He makes the impossible possible because he refuses to let the kids down - to pass on his burden to them again like in Shibuya. It is not his Limitless or Six Eyes that is making him The Ultimate Strongest right now. It's love.

However, love not only brings strength. It also brought solitude to Gojo's life.

Let's clarify something first. Loneliness is different from solitude. The former is negative because it was born from isolation and punishment. The latter is positive because it grants rejuvenation and freedom.

Loneliness makes you hate everything about the world and even feel shame about yourself because you were left alone. Solitude makes you appreciate the world more because you are comfortable with your true self so nothing can ever bring you down.

Unlike what most of us think, Gojo does not exude loneliness - it's actually solitude. He is absolutely extremely at ease with himself (as stated earlier). He owns all the bad parts and good parts of himself which makes him deadly adaptable to anything the world throws at him. Shit happens but Gojo will keep moving forward.

Geto once asked "Are you the strongest because you are Gojo Satoru or are you Gojo Satoru because you are the strongest?" I guess, we can answer that now.

Gojo Satoru is the strongest because he is full of love. He loves the people around him (source of his ultimate strength) and he loves himself (solitude-fueled creativity and adaptability).

op im gonna be completely honest I thought you left off tim on purpose. like I thought /that/ was the joke LOL

Oh that definitely was the joke don't worry I was just also planning on asking people what makes the best Robin as well gotta multitask

On hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have made that suicide joke in front of my GP.

see now i cant stop thinking about a manga or a show about pro sports. real sports already has enough drama as it is. now imagine ur a writer and u can toy with all of this and making everything go to ur plan to tell a perfect story. i'd go fucking feral.

i am guessing it would be tough to make because while u can always make up some random high school, most pro sports leagues r already fully established and u cant really just drop a new fake team into that. you'd probably have to craft a whole NEW fake sports league and itd have to be on the national scale.... but hey if fucking queens gambit can do it for chess, somebody should take the hit and do it for another sport

the boy meets world writers creating the most heartbreaking narrative about growing up queer and closeted in 90's you've ever seen (it is entirely through subtext and poorly aged, sorta problematic jokes)

Charles renewing his contract with Ferrari was never really a secret. That man lives and breaths Red™️ his whole life and they’re probably never gonna let him go. The only downside of this is Ferrari’s inconsistency for them to perform well, in both strategy and technicality, compared to Red bull and, somewhat, Mercedes.

I’m just praying that they don’t screw up big time for Charles🫤

Wait so you love Lando but hate Carlos? but you post Carlando? girl how do you justify that

"wait so you love lando but hate carlos" <- absolutely correct anon, you got it!!

"girl how do you justify that" <- easily: i do what i want here on tumblr dot com.

hope this clears it up for you anon ❤️
