LMK S4 SPOILERS AND THEORIES
--
Okay, so yall know how LMK changes things from JTTW. Spider Queen doesn't exist in jttw, but she's based on the spider demons. Red Son is younger and was a baby during the journey in lmk, whereas hes grown in jttw. And, of course, Macaque actually plays a major role in Wukong's backstory, while in jttw he was barely focused on at all.
SO. With that in mind
I was looking through the JTTW Wikipedia page and was looking at the antagonists, and found this:
Why is this important, you ask?
THIS
We all assume at this point that the women with the clay is Nuwa, the goddess that created the first humans from clay, so these clay sculptures mean something. We saw that she made the monkey one, which is connected to MK somehow.
But why is the Bear the one that falls? Maybe I'm crazy, but I have stared at this for so long. It has to mean something, right? So, connect that with the Black Wind Demon, the fact that his true form is that of a bear, and that Flying Bark changes a lot of things between JTTW and LMK, I feel like this is connected.
That, or I'm losing my mind.

Short little thing I typed up
“What is this?”
Yan turned over the small, see-through bag in his hands, brow furrowed as he looked at the contents.
“It’s a gift,” Houji said. “For Valentine’s Day.”
Yan looked up at him. “Isn’t that a western thing?”
“We have in Japan too.”
“Hm.” He opened the bag and pulled out a piece of chocolate. He glanced back over at Houji, eyes narrowed. “I can’t eat this.”
“It’s traditional.” Houji smiled. Yan muttered something under his breath, then sighed and put the chocolate back.
“Thank you,” he said begrudgingly.
“You have to pay me back next month.”
“Or I could kill you right here and now,” he said. Houji chuckled.
“Oh, could you?”
In response, he brought a hand up to Houji’s head and ruffled his hair. Houji narrowed his eyes.
“You are terrible,” he said, running his fingers through his hair, trying to brush the loose strands back into place.
“I’d have to be” — Yan smiled — “to put up with you.”
Houji paused for a moment. Finally, he pressed a kiss to Yan’s cheek.
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” he said. Yan turned away and closed his eyes.
“Happy Valentine’s Day.”

“Charlie left so suddenly without saying goodbye, he must have been pissed off!”
Haven’t you ever been at a party or social event especially for work and the “I must be home right now or I will die” instinct hits so you just leave? The ol’ Irish Goodbye? The Nurodivergent Shuffle? My social battery is completely drained so I’m yeeting myself immediately?

I'm curious what you meant in your tags under that likes/reblogs ratio post - about creators insping their friends not the og idea? Is it bad to insp a post that was inspired by someone else? (Feel free to rant of course.)
for me, an insp should be to give credit to the person who came up with the idea you are using. for example if you are using a layout someone else came up with, you use an insp to give the credit back to them. what seems to be happening in giffing circles is that someone will use another creators layout and insp them, but then people credit that instead of the original. it creates this strange treasure trail of insps to actually find the gifmaker who came up with the idea. i personally just find it really frustrating cos i'm like 'wow! who came up with such a creative concept i wanna check out their stuff!' and then i have to go through like 20 blogs to find the usually smaller creator whose idea actually isn't directly credited to them. this isn't to say you can't insp the post you saw that made you think of using the idea in the first place - i totally understand that the og post may not be the one that crossed your blog! but if that post has an insp to another and you can see it's the same layout/concept, you should also credit them, it's super simple to include two links. it just feels like people trying to get out of giving credit where it's due? and again just adds to this feeling that creators don't always support other creators here.

Okay so I finally watched the first episode but I gotta say…I’m a little disappointed?
Like, the chemistry between the characters and the intrigue of the opening from the games just didn’t translate through for me. There were some great lines/shots/transitions they got rid of or changed that I don’t understand why they didn’t include (e.g. “you should start helping out with the mortgage then”, solider noting that Sarah is a little girl and showing more hesitance, the news report transition between past and present).
It was nice getting a bit more backstory on some stuff but yeah, I don’t know. So far I think the game’s opening was a lot stronger.
