What are your in depth thoughts about MK’s and Sun Wukong’s vs MK’s and Macaque’s relationships? Because lemme tell you I’ve got so many it’s essay worthy

i saved you for last <3 but i honestly don't know if i can talk about this coherently T^T

short answer: they are on different levels in 2 ways, MK's comfortability and in how they grow

long answer: *inhales*

so you see, there are many levels that are set between the two relationships. and by levels i mean power dynamics, casualness, formalities, respect, and idolization :)

MK and Sun Wukong

with MK and Sun Wukong their relationship began very formal. MK was simply Wukong's student (with a wish to one day be close friends with his mentor/idol), but then by around 1x09, there becomes this shift in their dynamic. in this episode, we do get insight into how far Wukong actually cares for MK because for about most of s1, the monkey keeps his distance while putting up a laid back attitude. but after MK admits to his desire of being "good enough, like [Wukong]," you will notice that Sun Wukong, slowly starts to pull down his walls for MK. he even invites MK to stay over with him for New Years (2x00), despite knowing that it was more likely for MK to leave and celebrate with his friends. (WHICH MK EVEN SAYS BECAUSE BY THIS POINT MK COMES TO REALIZE THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP MIGHT NEVER BREACH INTO THE FRIENDSHIP HE ROMANTICIZED IN HIS HEAD. THUS SHOWING HOW THE TWO ARE DOING A REVERSE IN THEIR DYNAMIC AND- *gets dragged away to calm down*)

as i was saying.

in s2, Wukong ends up leaving to investigate a way to stop LBD before things blow over (which succeeds and fails bc it did, in fact, blow over). he didn't do it because he believed that it would hurt MK. personally, my assumption is that Sun Wukong didn't really see himself as that great of a mentor and that MK had been able to quickly pick up on new moves and techniques without much help from him, and with that thought, he believed that by leaving MK nothing but scrolls and a goal, MK would still be capable of mastering the new skills (which he did, thereby reinforcing that idea). but unfortunately, our beloved monkey king forgot that while MK is a very capable individual of incredible power, he's not confident in himself. he's simply "just loud" about himself and his prowess (which, if you noticed, MK grew even more quieter about this in seasons 2 & 3....fascinating).

so now there's this manufactured push to bring back their previous formality because Wukong is not completely ready to tell MK the truth despite how much he cares and trusts him (because, and this is my opinion, Wukong really wants to ensure that MK is not too involved in something as dangerous as LBD because she can get into your head and she can make matters worse for everybody). said manufactured push confuses MK because they had come so far from 1x01 and the distance they had before. sure, it's not as close as s3 and s4, but it definitely felt like they were at the cusp of something. this leaves MK sort of in his own limbo on where he stands with the Monkey King, and even if he sought advice about this with his friends, none of them have met the guy yet and can only make opinions based on their assumptions of what they feel like is going on (*cough, cough* Pigsy *cough, cough*).

and even after s2, in s3 Wukong is exhausted, a lot of his power depleted, and has to try and mingle civilly with MK's friends on a mission he originally planned to do alone (a suicidal mission to obtain the Samadhi Fire, if i might add). his reasoning for refusing at the beginning is because they are mortals, which MK misinterprets to mean that Wukong does not think MK can handle this mission and wants to prove himself.

omg their relationship is so complicated and messy T^T i love it

anyway, MK's and Sun Wukong's relationship is a push and pull between both people wanting to uphold and prove their worth to the other (Wukong lying to keep MK ignorant of a danger the monkey plans to eradicate in secret VS MK pushing himself into becoming powerful in order to prove himself as someone swk sees as worthy to trust). also, their dynamic is literally a platonic slow burn that slowly brings them closer and closer with s4 beginning with them (swk mostly lol) trying to be more honest and upfront about their thoughts and feelings. and s4 ending with the two actually fighting for each other and protecting each other and fighting WITH each other and T^T it's so beautiful. but also because their dynamic is a slow burn, that provides ample time to seed in doubt and insecurities and wanting to bottle up your issues to keep the peace and-

ugh T^T them <3

(side note: the actual timeline of this show is a tad confusing to me. how long was s1? a month, a couple months, a week? how long was s2? how long is the gap between seasons???? idk and i've tried to find something feasible to work with but i'm mostly just taking an "academic" estimation)

but now onto Macky and MK's relationship!

Mackenzie and MK

this one despite how rocky it looks is not a slow burn dynamic. it's got a fun roller coaster of levels because it goes "secret mentor/student" to "enemies" to "frenemies?" to "morally dubious but is actually a softie" to "potential mentor 2.0???" and i love it.

so, MK and Macky's dynamic begins in 1x09 (the blessed episode) since that's Mackackle's introduction to the show and MK begins to train under him in secret because MK is frustrated with swk's teaching methods. through the brief montage of MK's training, i can't help but notice the words and phrasing Macky uses:

Mackarell: [sounding disappointed] Not bad...[chuckles] [in a mocking tone] don't get me wrong, but I was expecting a little more with someone of your power. MK: [is defensive] H-hey, I've got more- I can give way more than that! [sighs] I can do better. Macaroni: [bemused] Kay, maybe show me next time.

ok, honestly, i just wanna talk about this. because if you heard it without seeing Marconi's face and how they animated him, you could side-step the the fake disappointment and mocking tone. what he's saying on the surface, isn't anything malicious or cruel. he is acting like a mentor and it appears like he is trying to encourage MK so he can stop hesitating. but that's not what Mac's really doing.

he is acting disappointed in MK because MK has a need to prove himself. the scene before MK meets Macaque, he is with Wukong and is frustrated by how slow his training is. he knows he can do some pretty powerful moves if his mentor allowed him to, if only he can prove to him that he can level up from the "baby stuff", if only he could have someone see that potential and train him in something more his "style." how convenient that right after he vents his frustrations MK encounters exactly what he wants, but oh no, they're disappointed in his strength and prowess, he has to prove that wrong, he CAN prove that wrong.

see where i'm going? MK fell for Macky's web, hook-line-and-sinker because it was tailor made for him. BUT! this mentor/student dynamic does not last very long. and that's mostly because it never a long term relationship in the slightest. Macky always planned to use MK's powers for his own, so now the two are slotted into the enemies level. they were never on equal ground like MK thought, or even on a similar mentor/student level MK has with Wukong. Macaquack absolutely abused that dynamic for his own gain and MK lost his trust for it.

MK cannot trust Macky, why should he? in s2, MK and Macky's relationship is mostly antagonistic because Mk cannot trust Mac and Mac enjoys tormenting the guy by hanging his insecurities over him. they are not on equal ground. Mac only sees MK as some mortal child who is in over his head and thinks he can be a Wukong 2.0 while MK sees Mac as someone who betrayed his trust, tried to kill him and his mentor and it is very personal.

but then there's this interesting choice made by lmk. Mac warns MK of an upcoming danger. why does he do it? he had just proven that he is an enemy! but also, he ends up freeing MK's friends on the basis that it "wasn't fun anymore". why take pity (should we even call it pity) on MK enough to tell him that "big things are coming"?

why choose to give MK some (very vague) advice about what's to come? what caused Macky to decide to offer this information?

well, 1st it is clearly the writers' way of showing that there is more than meets the eye with Macky. this is a little indicator for the audience about "hey! keep an eye on him! he's more complex than you think! he's more than a stock villain!" 2nd, this is the very first push into Mac's more amiable relationship with MK.

in s3, Macky is under LBD's command and has to follow her orders or else she might send him back to the Diyu either by ripping his soul from his body, or encasing him in ice/bone. he is only on her side to survive. he doesn't even plan to stay. instead, it really looks like Mac wants to escape from her hold (which he eventually plans out after learning about the gang's mission to find the Rings of Samadhi).

when it comes to MK, Mac is very antagonistic. @shadowpeachyuri made a really great analysis on Macky's antagonistic behavior in s3. especially in 3x04 where he taunts and mocks MK for his self worth and powers, but he's also stalling from his own mission in retrieving MK for LBD. most of s3 is him stalling and picking fights with people rather than do his own job. not to mention, that he purposefully separated MK and Wukong believing it would be easier to retrieve them. but why all the stalling and hesitation? because he's upset with his circumstances, and wants to take out on everyone? yeah, that's definitely part of it.

still in s3 Mac is not trying to befriend MK, he's not trying to help him either, but he also isn't truly trying to catch him. his main objective is getting out of dodge, escaping and finding somewhere that is far from here. yet, he can't help but challenge MK into using his powers, offer some (very biased and skewed) advice on who the guy should trust. and it's not until "Embrace Your Destiny" when his on-again and off-again mood finally gets to MK because he saved MK, he brought MK to Mei and he gave them the Not-Mayor guy for information.

just...this whole exchange T^T

Mackardy: Look, I brought you the Lady Bone Demon's lapdog, but I'm not up for being a hero, kid.

here lies, Macky trying to tell MK that he is not on his side. he has been constantly antagonistic and while LBD is also his enemy, he was planning to just give MK and his gang enough help for them to plan out how to defeat her.

MK: We don't need you to beat him. We just need you to keep him busy. As long as he's [Monkey King] under her control the Mech's vulnerable. We can do this! You can do this.

enter MK, looking at Macky with such optimism and arguing back at Macky with the guy's own logic. it won't be a battle to try and defeat Wukong, Macky just has to "keep him busy". Stall, like he's been doing for all of s3. and he sprinkles in a bit more optimism and encouragement to sweeten the deal.

Macaroon: Nice speech, kid but it's not gonna- MK: [frustrated growl] STOP! You keep playing at being this bad guy, acting like you're just in it for you! But I know deep, deep down: you're not that guy. Help us. Make it right. Macadoodle: I'm not a hero, bud MK: Then be a warrior!

personally, i feel like this is the moment where the two's new dynamic begins. also, Macky and MK's relationship feels a but more on equal footing. neither of them hold a pedestal or an image of who they are. MK is able to figure out that a lot of Macky's outward appearance is just that, an appearance. and Macky is able to see that MK isn't some Wukong 2.0 he imagined up in his head in s1. MK is the Monkey King's successor but he is also his own person who will and has made different decisions than Wukong.

after s3, their dynamic is very similar to mentor/student in 4x10, but not in the same way as in 1x09. Macky isn't trying to be manipulative or play with double meanings, he's actually trying to help and figured a video game rpg would be the best bet since MK likes video games. MK is able to snap back at Macky and isn't afraid of showing the monkey his worries and fears (something he's struggling to with Wukong and vice versa) because Macky has seen that side of him already.

idk it's fascinating. i feel like i'm repeating myself a lot, but my main takeaway is that MK and Wukong have a slow burn friendship that began with formalities and over the seasons, they gradually grew closer and more comfortable with admitting that they care about each other (mostly Wukong needed this help but it's ok). and MK and Macky's relationship though began as enemies, grew into 2 characters who view each other as equals by the end and respect ach other loads.

there be my thoughts *jazz hands*

#lego monkie kid #lmk #lmk mk #lmk sun wukong #lmk six eared macaque #lmk qi xiaotian #lmk meta #lmk analysis #lmk sunburst duo #lmk soysauce duo #sunburst duo #soysauce duo #bestie i am so sorry it took me this long to finish your answer T^T #i was saving it for last just so i could take my time with it but may have forgotten that my actual time to write all of this was limited #anyway #this was a lot of fun to discuss #you are absolutely free to tell me your thoughts!#i wanna know your essay worthy thoughts profa ;-;#also i single out pigsy at some point here but it's mostly bc besides all of swk's enemies he's the biggest critic of swk who's close to MK #his reasons for being upset at the guy are beCAUSE he unintentionally hurt MK and essentially neglected the guy in his eyes #however: he is an extremely harsh and biased critic not even bothering to hear the other side bc of his distrustful nature & protectiveness #once pigsy somes to a conclusion you will need to provide some solid evidence to back up your argument WHICH WUKONG ALMOST NEVER DOES #the grind for meta is real but so is my commitment to the bit :3 #you will never find me spelling mackadoo's name right unless it's for fic #also i think i my macky analysis might be a tad off bc i kept repeating myself so sorry about that T^T #jfc this took me 3 days ;A;#enjoyed every bit of it #asks

Do you ever think about the way the 118 all remember and pay tribute to the people they've lost in life in different ways and feel a need to lie down for a bit

#911 fox #owl on my own posting #evan buckley #eddie diaz #bobby nash #chimney han #hen wilson #and I don't mean the victims they've lost on the job #but the people they've privatly lost #because I think about bobby lighting candles at service for his wife and his kids #or buck writing to his brother (mostly because he's projecting his own insecurities onto him and it becomes an outlet)#eddie starring into the air late at night thinking of old stories about his squad #or standing and talking to shannons grave when he's at his wits end with chris #hen sitting down and going trough her fathers old things imagining the man he must've become #howard han #henrietta wilson #buck wanting to go on a trip to visit his brothers grave and apologize for not being able to save him #evan buck buckely #chim celebrating Kevins death each year with the Lees at their place having a more formal gijesa at their place #while having just food and stories for his mother since they don't strice me as the traditional types #including albert later into it and telling him all the stories about her #maybe now that his relationship with his father is getting better he'll visit korea for it even

Y’all are being subjected to my Sims 2 tests, so there

The other set of Vargases came over for a visit and Scriabin picked up Shmee and started talking to Scriabin through him. Very normal, very usual

I downloaded some circle-glasses recolours and hghghh they look so good! Closer every day to his final details! Getting ever closer!

Edgar too! I made him a custom hair with a lighter undercut - I’m mostly happy with it, probably could’ve shifted it a shade closer to his skintone but the texturing was weird no matter what :P And his stripey shirt! I wish Body Shop didn’t have that hands-on-hips pose lol, it looks so much better in-game, but that’s all the better :)

I got some new clothes for Todd as well! As soon as I saw this ‘fit I was like “Oh that’s 100% Todd there he is.” Scriadad hug ♥ So cute

Foot-dancing together stopp it’s so cute!!

The way he looks at them stoppp <3 <3 They kept doing this right up til they left for home haha, Todd’s giggles are the cutest

Used SimPE to save him to the Body Shop, I now have infinite copies of The Boyyyy ♪

Moved him in with his “parents” as just shadow people basically, they’re not gonna matter in a bit as long as I remember how to get the Social Worker/Adoption process to work properly. Get her Todd!!

Wanna play? :D

Menacing :(

Look, Todd, your new dads are here! Initially I wasn’t sure who I wanted to adopt him, got lots of options; the first passes, the married couple with their own Todd, Johnny?? He definitely doesn’t have the facilities for a child lol But these are the ones that showed up on their own, so the married Vargases are the winners!

Scriabin cares more about him than his actual parents ;; A stranger off the street shows him more care! Not that it’s a high watermark

Look at him being a good dad!

Weh, he just wants friends ;; Poor baby

Best timeline, thank you

While we wait for CPS, let’s get some other interactions in! Nny is mean so he tended to prank the other two with a nose flick - mostly Edgar lol ♪ Now kiss

“Oh please don’t break all my bones~ :3” I love Todd looking up at them haha <3

Pffft, I think he was talking about the other Scriabin and just how attractive he is. Classic Scriabin. Alternatively, also funny to imagine him bragging himself up about how he’s just so handsome that Edgar can’t help but love him hahaha ♪

Allow me to tickle you with my KNIFE! >:D

Get a load of this guy lol

He ended up passing out at one point - I forgot which motives make CPS show up >.> - and completely 0%’d his comfort, but for some reason stargazing increased it?? It’s the same ground wh

Is two not enough to satisfy your butterfly bloodlust child?? He ended up with three, I had him release them before he was picked up by the Social Worker - success!

He rolled a new Want as soon as Todd was taken away - “Wants to see Ghost of Todd” Woah, dark! :0

And here he is on the married Vargases’ lot!! Success!! I did it right!! Heck yeah! :D Unfortunately they were uh, indisposed at the time. Good job guys pft

Goes right for Shmee, he really is Todd <3

#The Sims 2 #My queue is too backlogged on main! And I /have/ been working on a lot of Vargas-specific Sims 2 retextures so it's fine lol #These are still tests - as said up top lol - so these events are ''non canon'' to what will eventually be my actual Vargas family #The beats will be similar tho! It's mostly just a lot of tweaking at this point to get everything just where I want before the domino falls #Edgar Nny and Todd are all so close to done - Scriabin still needs a bit more work lol of course he's the problem member ♪#It'll be worth it tho! >:3c Handsome lad <3 #Did find out some interesting things with the Social Worker/Adoption process :0 Most importantly that adoption basically wipes everything #Wipes memories and family relations and changes the last name! So I'll have to go in with SimPE to change his name back once I'm there #I love SimPE haha ♪ I mean it's just an extension of how much I love TS2 but I just ughsjkhagf it's a good program!#It's extremely powerful and easy to get lost in if you don't know where to look but it's also incredibly user-friendly if you do know #Like - it's as easy as ''Open this sub-menu. Click this button. Rename this. You're all done'' it's just jdsflf Sims 2 my beloved <3 <3 #I decided to cheat down the Casils' relationship with Todd before everything else - thus why his father is menacing him for the prank #I've seen Sims with not high enough friendship to not take a water balloon as a fun invitation but not between a parent and child!#It's subtle but the parent being mad and the kid cowering :( It's sadly appropriate for Todd #I stuck the Casils in a box to wait things out and they ended up glitching frozen in bed - they're effectively dead by Motive but can't move #So they can't die /or/ live - feels fitting #If you'd like to recreate CPS taking your child away without straight up torturing them! - Hunger. You just need hunger lol #Alternately you can also have them miss class if you'd prefer to feed them - both will result in being taken away after long enough #If I return to this save it's gonna be confusing since both Todds are identical and have the same names lol #I do have a bunch of new clothes! Second shopping trip :D #There's something oddly fitting for the Vargases to adopt twin/clones lol - fun shenaniganary until the Final Version comes to pass #Although now that I think of it I Could also give them a toddler!Todd hmmmmmm #It's an idea :)

i honestly don't think anyone will care but I keep brainrotting over the idea of a pjo/rainworld au

I've turned the Seven into funky slimy cats dealing w concepts far beyond their comprehensions lmao

#my brainrots have mutated more than 5p's structure send help 💀#i present you: slugcat au where the gods are iterators #(names + abilities pending)#the big 3 kids are purposed organisms and the rest “natural” slugcats #Frank (The Juggernaut) is the chief of the clan and has to deal with these random ahh weirdos (the 3) rocking up #he's honeslty like Gourmand with less cooking skills and more endurance lmao- just a muscle powerhouse fit into a slimy rodent body #Jason (The Turbine)'s retired from being a Messenger and has no clue what to do with his life now (he becomes a scholar later on)#he's a centipede/wing hybrid and can electrocute anything he grabs given enough pips + can double jump (to handle Pipeyard lol pray for him #Percy (The Navigator) wonders off to explore since his creator didn't really HAVE plans for him other than occasional missions #he's honestly just colour swapped Rivulet with less spear skills (but can aim and throw them really well under water)#Hazel (The Martyr/Apostate) pulling a power move and refusing to die lol #she escaped the void & probably does everything to keep herself bound to the cycle in fear of getting dragged back #she doesn't have anything really special that i can think of other than actually dealing damage with debris and being able to wall climb #Annabeth (The Weaver) as lookout for ancient research and really good at building ladders/utilising the landscape. the most basic scug tbh #she can also take spears off of walls p easily and probably has a grapple worm friend #Piper (The Mimic/Paradigm? names r hard) being able to copy plant toxins/abilities. does most damage up close & is mostly a herbivore #like eating sporepuffs for a smokescreen. cherrybombs to scare off/stun into unconsciousness. lilypucks/slime mold to glow and etc #Leo (The Artillerist) as a scrawny little guy with explosives. fast but physically weak. he has to rely on his int and makes the clans tool #basically Arti/Monk mix without double jump but able to reassemble Iterator parts (jesus i had to Work to not accidentally copy her design)#Festus is a lizard!! he's probably a stupidly big Yellow and is our beloved. he got saved by Artillerist and followed him ever since :)#alternatively: an au where Leo just ends up in rw and insults 5p (who is confused on how an ancient survived and why he's Like That)#pjo #rain world

One shot idea,, maybe?

Dipper stumbling in on Bill's really evil and nefarious work personality and seeing him switch to seeing his mortal. (Also any demons around being confused and uncomfy)

I think that would be funny

Honestly I've thought about writing something like this several times, I've just never fit it in between all the other stuff I'm doing!

But I do love the idea of Bill cackling - nah, laughing maniacally - in front of a group of minions. Perhaps perusing a map showing the absolute devastation he's about to wreak, or on a interplanar zoom call with some hapless 'heroes' he's made a deal to destroy -

Then in walks Dipper, like. In pyjama pants. Drinking out of a mug that says 'Second Best Husband' (Bill claimed the #1 mug) and just. Raises an eyebrow.

Cue Bill breaking off to coo over him greet him with a big smile, and absolutely trying to coax him into a kiss.

(I think it's important to add that Dipper during all of this knows Bill's up to some nasty shit - but it's going on in the Mindscape, and they did settle on a moral 'live and let live' situation. Best just to not ask any questions.)

Dipper originally came in to ask Bill about something mundane - but now Bill's smug scheming is on hold for like, a full three minutes, as everyone present is forced to watch the equivalent of a supervillain bickering with his favorite cute young being, with extra visible embarrassment/disgust from the demonic minions. (Optional confusion/disgust from the Hero Team if the zoom call scenario is in play)

Then Dipper lets Bill know he's gonna go, and Bill insinuates that it'll be very easy to finish up his work super quick and they can meet back up later - and there's an overly long kiss which is incredibly awkward for everyone to watch.

And as Dipper leaves, Bill then sits back in his throne and clears his throat. "Okay, where was I?" Snap of the fingers. "Right!"

The scene resumes where it started - maniacal laughter and all.

#So that's the gist of how I would write it #An outline instead of a oneshot because the dialogue in this latest thing I'm working on is taking all my energy #Big cartoon supervillain breaking the mood of the scene for comedic effect energy #Cause they have a beautiful spouse they have to admire for a minute before going back to gloating over their eventual triumph #Which I mean is exactly is the scene in question #I feel like there's something I could reference that does this exact same thing #But said reference escapes me #I totally know this has been done before but that doesn't mean it's less amusing to me #Dipper probably very rarely gets contacted by someone like #'Please call your husband off'#Word has spread through the grapevine about how bad Bill has it #Dipper mostly hangs up the metaphorical call because he doesn't wanna get involved #He doesn't dictate what Bill does in his free time any more than Bill does with him #If there's a more amusing way to get Bill's plans done that also happens to be moral it sometimes works #Bill had to admit that was not only funnier but way less effort!! Good idea kid!!#Not the perfect solution but better #Good Job Dipper #You sure do know your husband well #You've saved more lives than you know

ur tags on that kenjaku post… oh my god you saw that too? i was truly horrified

YEAH… I saw that shit, I hate stsg so much lmfaooo. It’s so obvious that they want Getou to be the “girl,” so badly. He’s getting the treatment of every dark haired best friend in a popular shounen 🚶🏾‍♀️. He’s too good of a character for this!

#I don’t really hate it fr but I’ve never been too crazy over it at all like the I don’t feel too strongly for it but I like some of the art #that I come across and all that and I’d prob draw it myself one of these days but the fans make me want to turn the other way most of the #time #they just hit getou with the girl beam and it’s unfortunately become like another case of fans acting like fanon is canon when regarding the #ship and the mischaracterizations of getou’s character has been insane #I feel like.. what’s the point of liking a ship if you don’t like the characters at all because this is how I feel whenever I see most stsg #fan content if I’m being real #they even draw him shorter on purpose just because they want him to be that girl it’s so stupid to me sorry #and he’s always being abused in fan content and now im even thinking about that one doujin where he was being assaulted by kenjaku and #forced to bare his children only for Kenny to kill the kids immediately after birth…? and then Gojo somehow saved him and at that point #getou had become obsessed with sex and it ended with gojo committing a murder sui #man what the fuck ever #I will save getou he’s so cool and doesn’t deserve THIS #and if you’ve noticed anything about them ship wise then like #I hope I’m not the only one who’s found it odd how most stsg is always weird and fucked up vs gego being mostly lighthearted??? I have no #clue as to why but!!!#maybe it’s because most stsg again. still treat getou like the girl vs in gego well I’ve noticed that they’re usually the same as canon???#(outside of the genderbent content but you get it) it’s just something that I’ve noticed #sasukeless #tkf replies #um #getou get behind me-

I…

So I grew up watching The Simpsons. And maybe I shouldn’t have, but hey, it was the 90s and parent-sanctioned family time to watch a show that was definitely inappropriate for little-little kids.

Anyways.

I knew Phil Hartman, voice of Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz died in 1998, when I was seven. I knew he died and was sad about it. I missed his characters.

MOTHERFUCKER I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD—30-FUCKING-2 TO BE EXACT—WHEN I FOUND OUT, FROM A YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL, THAT HE WAS MURDERED. IN HIS SLEEP. BY AN EX-PARTNER.

WHAT THE FUCK

#I assumed he was old and just passed away. maybe he was sick. how do you explain to a 7yo that a voice actor was MURDERED #and idk the state of the show nowadays but esp in its earlier seasons it was definitely meant to push boundaries and yeah #I don’t think I should’ve been to it before the age of 8 to 10 #at minimum. but also. SO much just flew over my head. and we know now I. autistic and my parents are autistic #and do you know how many echolalia swims we all have from that show? 😂😅#*stims goddamn you autocorrect. every day the apple company curses my tags. I miss having an actual keyboard god damn it #apple talks #to the tune of spam #my parents weren’t naive enough to think all animation is for kids like there were plenty of shows I hasn’t allowed to watch as a kid #but idk man. for some reason the Simpsons and the critic were a-okay #but king of the hill wasn’t?? honestly I think it had more to do with whether or not my dad in particular liked a show than whether or not #it was deemed ‘appropriate for children’#my mom tried to ban me from watching sailor moon bc she said it was just ‘little girls jumping around in short skirts being saved by the boy #like hi mom I’m gay. and also watched it in secret for several years. she never found out. I told her long after bc I thought it was #hilarious. mostly she was just mad bc my grandpa was supposed to be watching me lmao

Somehow I never thought about the Barbie mug shot meme for Tales but I figure the wanted posters are a close enough thing

#hmmm what if ludger and julius got arrested in the bad ending though #i have actually thought about this but mostly as a creeped out outsider pov thing #like you catch two mass murderers. one who assassinated two heads of state and a bunch of other people including kids #and hes like. a lot more upset over being arrested because hes separated from his brother (who seems to be dying from. something.#that sure as fuck isnt normal but none of the rieze maxians can explain. nor are they particularly inclined to help the other guy whos also #accused of anti RM terrorism. i think poor ludger would lose his mind knowing julius could become a catalyst at any moment and he wouldnt be #there for it. because that really was the entire thing. ludger doesnt expect to be able to save julius from that death #but he knows he can save julius from any earlier deaths #anyway in my head this unfolded as ludger losing his ability to transform into chromatus #and so he gets caught off guard and overwhelmed by cops and soldiers #and then it turns out bisley completed the trial after all and the chromatus abilities have been removed #julius is actually. not dying anymore but maybe his face just stays that way #anyway i didnt think too hard on this one bc its depressing #unless bisley decides to be really nice #but i am still delighted by the outsider pov aspect #i would like ludger to seem absolutely out of his mind obsessed with julius #people are trying to ask him why he killed everyone and he just says it was to protect julius :)#v #x2

Twewy native Pre week 2 neku and kh1 Riku would be the most toxic friend group ever

I had to specify neku as twewy native because in dream drop josh straight up said they all died and that's why they got sent to traverse town. But given his lines it's clear he's at least past peak asshole neku.

Thoughts?

OH YEAH VERY TRUE. but actually I don't even think they'd be friends, if that makes sense. Riku needs someone kind who looks up to him (like Sora and Kairi), and Neku pre-twewy... isn't that. Neku on the other hands needs people he can relate to and who share his worldviews (ex: how he got along with Joshua in week 2 and was able to have many interesting discussions with him despite, yknow, thinking Joshua murdered him). So it wouldn't actually work if there was only the two of them: Riku doesn't share Neku's values of shutting himself from people because he's scared of getting hurt & hurting them. And Neku only looks up to CAT.

#léa replies #it's interesting to think about tho. if somehow they were hanging out... it would honestly not be very good. for anyone.#now you got me thinking about how Riku's low self-esteem can be a parallel to Beat and Shiki but each have a different way to deal with it #Riku's low self-esteem becomes jealousy when he sees someone else hang out with Sora (he puts the blame on others)#a reaction that appears to be similar to Beat who's angry at for example kariya when Rhyme dies #but it's actually just a facade. and he's mostly angry at himself for his incompetence #and Shiki on the other hand gets jealous of Eri but turns that against herself to the point that she tries to erase her own self #so she can reach Eri's supposed perfection #so we have a broad range of reactions to low sefl-esteem #and while Riku's is obviously the most harmful for others (increased by the fact that Maleficient and Ansem SOD took advantage of it)#i don't want to call him toxic for that. he's just a lost kid who doesn't know how to handle change. just like Kairi is.#and that's why they drift apart with Sora trying to chase both of them because he's the only one who is able to handle change.#his issues lie elsewhere.#anyway i could swear i was going somewhere with this but i had dinner in between so i forgor...#maybe something about how yeah Neku was toxic pre-twewy but i don't think Riku was before it all went downhill in kh1 #it's really Maleficient and Ansem's manipulation who made him go the extra mile and hurt others when he only wanted to save Kairi #and yeah i guess making the words fall and trying to kill Sora is pretty toxic at this point lmao #thanks for the ask!#twewy spoilers #twewy #kingdom hearts

Personal New Headcanon: Parental Backstory of Jason Todd/Events Before Death in the Family

(This is my take on Death in the Family and the days leading up to Jason’s Death)

(WARNING DARK THEMES AHEAD)

Sheila Haywood was born and raised in Gotham. She hated Gotham and everything in it. And wanted nothing more than to get out of the city and make something for herself. She decides to become a doctor (not a very good one) to earn heaps of money. Sheila as an inexperienced pre-med student decides to charge women for under the table abortions. Selling her services on the black market. (She charges almost $1000 dollars per abortion. Yet a lot of her patients have complications often leaving the girls with infection and almost sterilized)

After a successful day, Sheila goes to a bar where she meets Willis Todd. They have a one night stand in the back alley of the bar that results in Sheila getting pregnant. Sheila is horrified and upset; never wanting the burden of children. Hates the idea of being pregnant having this kid ruin her life. Willis who is actually married and is having a rough patch with his wife due to not being able to have children decides to pay Sheila to have the baby and give the child to him. Willis is at this time a small time drug dealer who has access to a decent amount of cash. Sheila liking the prospect of the large sum of money agrees.

Giving birth to Jason, Sheila does another abortion procedure on a teenage girl that results in the girl dying. Taking the money that Willis gave her for their son, Sheila leaves Gotham to flee the investigation of the teenage girls death. Leaving Jason with Willis and Catherine.

Years later

Willis Todd went to prison after being one of Two-FAces small time goons. It is implied that Two-Face kills him. Catherine Todd was a drug addict who was also diagnosed with cancer. She dies from drug overdose and that leaves Jason in the system that he will run away from and live on the streets. Until he is taken in by Batman and becomes Robin.

Jason is going through a rough time with Bruce after the incident with Felipe Gonzales.

Yes, Felipe Garzonas was a rapist who always got a way from his crimes due to his father’s power. No, Jason did not push him off the balcony. No, Jason did not attempt save the man either. Jason is a street kid who believes in street justice. And that does not involve saving rapists who would get away with their crimes over and over again. (It is also implied that Jason may have past personal experience with being sexually assaulted or worse.) Yet this is not a concept that Bruce will ever understand.

Barbara Gordon, at this time Batgirl, hears about Jason potentially killing Felipe and eventually tells Dick. They both discuss how dangerous Jason is.

Dick has previously stated that he has accepted that Jason is the new Robin. He does not think Jason deserves the title anymore because of how dangerous he is. Dick is furious that Jason may have killed as Robin and tells Bruce that Jason never should have been Robin or killed while wearing his name. Bruce states that there is no proof that Jason has killed Garzonas but even he seems unsure. Dick tells Bruce that he is Batman and the Bruce already knows the truth. Dick says that he is leaving to go on a space mission with Titans. Jason has heard the whole conversation.

Meanwhile Batman meets Gordon on the Bat-Signal roof and tells him that the Joker has escaped. This time it seems a bunch of his goons dressed up as Arkham employees and let him out. For the time being it seems that the Joker is lying low.

Jason thinking that he is going to be kicked out and now knowing that no matter how many times he tells everyone that he didn’t kill Garzonas they will never believe him. It’s around this time that Jason finds out that Catherine Todd wasn’t his biological mother. It is stated clearly that his mother is Sheila Haywood.

Sheila Haywood finds out that Jason Todd is adopted by Billionaire Bruce Wayne and decides to meet Jason.

While it seems like Jason went looking for his mother, it was actually Sheila that told people where Jason could find her and that she was his real mother. Jason finds Sheila and the two of them bond over a couple of meetings. He is excited to have a mother that he can go to especially now that things are getting worse with Bruce. Jason keeps finding his real mother from Bruce and continues to meet her secretly.

Finally Sheila approaches Jason about how she needs money to pay off loan sharks. Jason is reluctant to give her money. Then she shows up bruised claiming to be beat up by the loan sharks. Jason offers to go after the loan sharks but Sheila doesn’t fess up any names. Sheila underestimates Jason saying that he was just a kid. Then Jason decides to show Sheila that he is actually Robin. Shocked at the knowledge Sheila asks who Batman is but Jason doesn’t tell. And Sheila doesn’t tell him about the loan shark. Yet this incident triggers Jason deeply, reminding him of Catherine, so he takes some of the interest from the trust fund that Bruce set up and gives the money to Sheila.

Sheila is thankful to Jason and eventually leaves with the money to open a clinic in Ethiopia.

Things start to get worst for Bruce and Jason resulting in Jason being benched as Robin after a discussion between Bruce and Alfred claiming that he is too reckless and violent. Bruce is still looking for the Joker but keeps on coming up empty.

Jason decides to run away to find his mother so he could live with her instead. When he calls Sheila she invites him to Ethiopia where she is living temporarily with her company.

When he arrives at the clinic he finds Joker with his mother. He overhears everything from the plan to steal medical supplies and redistribute in Gotham but instead using laughing gas to infect the citizens of Gotham.

Jason decides to dress up as Robin and take down the Joker. But he is caught off guard by one of his goons who knew that he was coming.

In Gotham Bruce doesn’t know that Jason has run away yet. He is out investigating the missing Joker trying to find any leads. Then he gets reports that there is a suspicious box in Jokers old cell. Batman arrives to investigate and finds a dead bird in the a box, a robin to be specific. On the bird there is a note saying, “Missing a stray bird Batty?”

That’s when Batman finds out that Jason has run away.

When Jason opens his eyes again he realizes that he is tied up in a warehouse. There in the warehouse he sees the Joker and the rest of his gang. And then he sees his mother sitting on a crate smoking, completely calm.

Confused, Jason asks what is going on.

Then Joker laughs and explains his plan. It had pissed him off that he could never capture the second Robin. That no matter what he tried the little Robin had stayed out of his path. When he was creating a plan that would drive all of Gotham and Batman slowly insane. He planned on getting medicine and filling it all up on Joker Gas that would eventually make its way to hospitals and whole groups of people in Gotham.

That was when he met Sheila Haywood. Sheila was embezzling money and medical supplies from the organization she works for. He forced Sheila to control her operation or he would turn her over the police. Sheila in turn offered to give the Joker money to leave her alone and let her go free.

Sheila explains then that she was only using Jason to get money from him so that she could buy her way out of Jokers scheme. After the last meeting she confessed she had purposefully gotten beat up by Jokers goons so that it would look like loan sharks got to her. Then she found out that Jason was Robin, so she decided to keep the money and hand over Jason instead.

Sheila shrugs clearly not caring about Jason’s life.

Joker starts laughing and beating up Jason with the crowbar. He tells Jason that he almost decided to forgo the whole medicine plan so that he could finally get his hands on little bitty Robin. That it was already obvious that Robin and Batman were having problems and this would just be the nail in the coffin. And how delicious would it be when Batman finally finds his broken Robin.

The whole time Sheila is in the warehouse smoking while Joker beats Robin until he is almost dead. The henchmen are filling the medicine with Joker Gas.

After hours and hours and hours Joker finally stops. Stating that it was time to leave if they didn’t want Batman to catch them. He sets the timer on the bomb. Sheila is about to leave too with the trucks full of medicine.

That’s when Joker ties up Sheila to a post. Stating to Robin who looks to be dead, “A little gift for you.” He leaves Sheila in the warehouse as she screams after him.

Jason gets up after Joker leaves and unties Sheila telling her to leave. He tries to deactivate the bomb but is unable to get the strength to do it since he is bleeding from his head so much. Even as Sheila looks for a way out since the door is locked.

As the timer ticked on it was obvious neither one of them were getting out alive. In his final seconds Jason Todd did two things he threw himself over his mother blocking her from the brunt of the blast. And right before he died he whispered, “I’m sorry, Bruce.”

After the Blast

Batman stopped the trucks of medicine from boarding to Gotham. But as he was doing this the warehouse explodes in the distance.

The Joker laughs on taunting Batman about his now dead Robin. Batman in fury knocks out the Joker with a single punch and ties him up for the authorities to take him in.

Batman arrives at the warehouse and desperately starts moving through the rubble.

That’s when he find Jason dead and desperately covering his still-breathing mother from the blast.

Bruce clutches the dead broken body of Jason Todd.

#this has gotten away from me yes.#didn't think it would be this long #had this story in my head for a while #Sheila Haywood Just as bad as the Joker #In my mind Sheila survives and Bruce let's her go because Jason's final act was saving his mother #Bruce never knows the full extent of Sheila's involvement in Jason's death #It is too painful for even Batman to look into and he just lost his son #Sheila lives with the guilt of Jason's sacrifice forever #Sheila is the true villain of this story and always will be #Yet Jason was a neglected kid who was never trusted #At this time there isn't really a concept of BatFamily #There were a lot of influences right until Jason's death #I mostly wanted to share my interpretation of Sheila's involvement #DC comics #dc #Jason Todd #robin ii #robin!jason #batman #bruce wayne #death in the family #dick grayson #nightwing #Sheila Haywood #willis todd #catherine todd #alfred pennyworth #batfam #universe building headcanon
