Really unpopular opinion that arose after rewatching season 3 and 4 of LMK, but it annoys me to no end that Macaque barely did anything to improve (hasn't even apologized to MK lol) and basically got no consequences for his actions and yet he still got his redemption served to him on a silver platter.

Not to mention how much the fandom sugarcoats what he did, but I can't really blame them because the show is kinda doing it by itself considering the other characters' reactions. Like, you mean to tell me that Mei, of all people, would gladly fight side by side with Macaque?

Actually, why is the entire group so… casual around him as if they didn't watch the mf beat the shit out of MK right in front of them?

Highlight to Mei and Pigsy cause they are the first ones to call out Wukong about his mistakes, and them doing that while also giving Macaque a pass after everything he did to them makes no sense.

And it annoys me even more because there were villains/antagonists who could have easily had a redemption arc but got killed off instead.

Also the same thing happened with the Demon Bull Family: They hurt and tried to kill MK and many lives were at risk because of them, but guess what? No consequences lmao they're all besties now.

So I've been thinking about the "monkey-mind horse-will" philosophy and the way it perfectly applies to MK and Mei all day today SO I NEED TO GET IT OUT OF MY SYSTEM.

So I feel like it's extremely common knowledge that Wukong is an allegory for the mind in jttw and this allegory is still somewhat present in lmk, especially in aspects of MK's character. The whole concept of the fluid, ever changing thoughts in his mind. The whole "I try not to think about it", "I play dumb to lighten the mood". Him saying "There's nothing MINDless about me" in the season 4 finale. THE WHOLE THING WITH SMARTIE KID/BIG BRAIN BOY? These are just some examples off the top of my head there's definitely so much I've missed. But yes, MK has this as a very noticible motif of thoughts and mind rooted in his character.

Mei representing the will- or as I like to put it - the heart is less apparent, but hear me out. The whole "she acts before she thinks". The whole "she puts her family and friends first", and the "she's a protector" vibe of her character. She puts her HEART first. The contrast between this and MK is admittedly slight but still visible.

Monkies and horses have had other connections in eastern history too, I'm sure most jttw fans are familiar with keeping monkies in horse stables to wear off illnesses (Wukong's role as Bimawen is a reference to that :D), but besides the duo can also represent great success and fortune and have ties in the Chinese zodiac. So I feel chosing Mei specifically to be MK's bestie was done on purpose.

ARGH I don't know just the concept of MK and Mei being the "Brain and Heart" IS JUST TOO GOOD. The fact it isn't the regular route of "he's smart, she's sensitive" but a lot more subtle and nuanced is just taking over my brain. I love the whole "MK and Mei will become the Hero and the Warrior" theory but imagine that the finale message is that they are equal and there is no point in overshadowing one another (I like both versions of the theory, I'm fine with both Hero MK-Warrior Mei and Hero Mei-Warrior MK) because "mind and will" are both equally important. Like? How they're both capable of greatness and need each other's support. LIKE??

AAAA I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING FOR

#the henry stickmin collection #thsc #honkai impact #bronya zaychik #kiana kaslana #raiden mei #do i tag. the thsc trio for this. i mean they are here as bald as they can be #i guess.#charles calvin #henry stickmin #ellie rose #a-u edit stuff #note that i edited them based on their poses/expressions this does NOT mean bronya = charles or mei = ellie cuz #characters flip around a lot in my edits there is no set standard except for maybe like one lr two characters and even then.#ok anyway i mainly edited this with the honkai trio cuz. they dont interact enough in the story.#like its funny when you think about it but like they separate in the early chapters and only reunite completely in the final arc of part 1.#and i wish there was more. just like how i wish the tt dynamic was more fleshed out #theyre nice and all. just. nothing for me to chew on #ok rant over #i actually am currently redrawing the end cards in the same vein as honkai cgs i jist needed to get this out of my system #i was also highly considering leaving kiana bald. jsut like her great-grandpa^44 kevin.

I WANNA STRANGLE THE LMK FANDOM SO BAD ISTG

WHY IS EVERYONE ASSUMING THE WORST OF MK? THE LITERAL GOOD BOI MC? THE ONE WHO WANTS TO PROTECT HIS FRIENDS? THE ONE WHO WAS TERRIFIED OF BEING A HARBINGER? WHO STILL *IS* TERRIFIED OF BEING A HARBINGER?

"MK MIGHT DIE" "MEI MIGHT KILL MK" "MK IS GONNA GO FERAL AND HARM HIS FRIENDS" "MK THIS" "MK THAT"

I AM THIS CLOSE TO STEALING ALL YOUR KNEECAPS

HOW ABOUT THIS, HOW ABOUT THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST A TAD BIT OF FAITH IN, YOU KNOW, THE LITERAL PROTAGONIST WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROUTING FOR??

IDC ABOUT "BWUT, BWUT AWNGST-" BC LIKE- IT'S BEEN WAAAY TOO MUCH. I'M NOT SAYING HE WON'T GO FERAL HE MOST LIKELY WILL BUT AT LEAST HAVE SOME FAITH IN HIS FRIENDS, HIS FAMILY, HIS MENTOR, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HIMSELF THAT HE'LL GET BACK UP.

I WANT WHOLESOME FERAL MONKEY HEADCANONS, I WANNA SEE MORE PPL ASSUME THE GOOD IN MK INSTEAD OF THE BAD AND ACTUALLY STAY ACCURATE TO HIS CHARACTER AND APPRECIATE SAID CHARACTER, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK??

I think what some people need to realize is that behind all that tough guy stuff and that “im better than you” act that Dr Ratio puts on, he’s actually a good guy.

he just wants people to realize that they have the potential (although his means of doing so are…questionable) like if I was surrounded by people who are not even in the slightest smart, i’d be pretty pissed too

like least when he was a dick to us in the event, he had a reason. We were the last ones to see Herta, which is why he thought it was us that took the puppet.

but Ruan Mei….she just straight up drugs us and expects us to like her??? like tf???? ALEAST Dr Ratio has an OUNCE of humanity in him. like he actually cares

but ruan mei is more worried how her beast that almost KILLED trailblazer didn't last long. she LITERALLY just brushes it off and goes on with her crazy experiments.

apparently Ruan Mei and Dr Ratio are supposed to be opposite of each other, which is why behind her kindness, theres a cold heart that doesn't care. but with ratio its a good heart hiding behind a cold exterior.

the reason why im calling her cold is because not only does she brush off the needs of the very things that SHE created, (she also basically calls then failures??) she also just ignores that we almost died because of something SHE created.

she also hides her experiments from the literal space station founder and owner, herta. also if she didnt trust us, why send us on errands for her, or make us her “assistant”??? she couldve just asked someone else

sorry for the rant again x-x

lmk season 5 (or doesnt have to be season 5) theories? or just thoughts that might be true such type stuff?

lmk s5 will include mayor

here's why i think so

so before we begin let's just keep in mind that most of us have heard that s5's villians are most likely the ten kings of the underworld who are also known as the grim reapers of their world, okay? keep this noted...

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT MAYOR

OKAY SO WE HAVE MAYOR. i always hear people say that he should have a redemption arc in s5 but honestly thats not in character with mayor tbh I, personally, IMAGINE THAT HE'LL BECOME PHYSCO over LBD's death, not simply giving up but actually becoming ever so determined to bring back lady bone demon to help her accomplish her "destiny". How tho?

he'll kill macaque. :D

okay so we know how macaque was brought back to life with LBD's power? I imagine that macaque has like "LBD life essence", and mayor will be wanting "LBD life essence" to bring back Lady Bone Demon.

NOW HERE COMES THE PART WHERE I TIE IN THESE BABIES

so the ten kings of the underworld are tasked to keep in control those who die, yes?

i would LIKE to imagine that Mayor comes to contact these guys, telling them that Macaque is still illegally alive due to LBD, and how Mayor will help them get Macaque to put him to death like he shouldve been.

(with ofc, mayor's real intentions just using the ten kings to help him get closer to macaque because surely mayor couldn't simply approach and take macaque's "'lbd life energy" without the LMK main characters interupting him.)

SO YES.

that's my S5 plot theory that indeed includes mayor. :D

okay, random note to end on, TOXICINSANITY MAKES NO SENSE, i still dig it a bit tho so uhm like imagine mayor meeting dead syntax while he's in the realm of the ten kings?? (since techniclly that would just be hell)

NOW I HAVE ANOTHER S5 THEORY THO

this'll be a smaller rant, okay but imagine them all becoming famous due to saving the world and also just HAVING POWERS NOW

LETS START WITH EVERYONE'S NEW LIVES, beggining with pigsy

so i imagine pigsy, and how maybe his shop would become more famous now? and due to that he suddenly has less time with MK and Tang, maybe he becomes more self-indulgent and maybe even selfish here?

FOR TANG, okay so tang, finally feeling important and famous for once, feels almost entitled to keep people cheering for him, forcing himself to help anyone he can, just like MK can. he finds himself becoming tuckered out, wondering if feeling important is really what he wanted.

(for my freenoodles homies, i can imagine that tang never really wanted to be famous but wanted to be loved, by PIGSY SPECIFICALLY OFC, but pigsy being busy cant spend time with tang, so on and so forth)

MK MEANWHILE, is trying his best to not be in the spotlight and tries to live a more secluded life, especially with his monkey form being just around the corner??

FOR MEI, i'de like to think that while she enjoys the fame, she can't help but feel split about MK not liking the attention, but man, she sometimes just cant help but spend a little self-indulgent time to just show off to everyone and be praised.

idk what else i can talk about SOBS IM SORRY NO WUKONG CONTENT FOR TODAY BUT LIKE???

ive ranted fr long enough, good evening, morning, and afternoon, everyone.

#lmk syntax #lmk mayor #lmk LBD #lmk lady bone demon #lmk theories #lego monkie kid theory #lmk rant #lmk toxicinsanity #monkie kid #lego monkie kid #lmk #lmk season 5 #lmk macaque #lmk tang #lmk pigsy #lmk mk #lmk mei #freenoodles

Mei mei is well written

⚠️this post will discuss things like manipulation and exploitation ⚠️

A good character ≠ A morally good person or a good guy

Mei mei is a character that acts as a foil to many characters like choso, nanami, Gojo and even toji. However, even with all of that mei mei still ends up feeling like her own character and is unique enough to not just be regarded as a foil to other characters.

Nanami and mei mei

Nanami and mei mei are very obviously character foils in my opinion. The share a lot of differences and are basically anthesis.

Mei mei doesn't have a problem with exploiting children (her brother ui ui) she she can use them to gain money or survive whereas nanami is known to be the protector of children and his famous line " being a child isn't a sin" says it all. As soon as mei mei escaped kenjakus grasps she was out of shibuya not even taking a second to worry about her examinee itadori yuji and basically leaving him to fend for himself wherever he was at the time whereas nanami even after being heavily injured by jogo's attack had megumi's wellbeing (his examinee) on the forefront of his mind. Mei mei wasn't going to risk her life for anyone not even her own brother as seen in the most recent chapter if it weren't for Miguel, UI UI would of died for certain whereas nanami died protecting the children. Due to mei Mei's selfishness and her own ambitions she easily achieved her dreams and was able to go to Malaysia during the downfall of everyone in shibuya whereas nanami could only dream of going to shibuya and ended up also dying for his own desires to make sure everyone is ok. Nanami could of easily walked to shoko and seek medical attention yet he chose not to. There's also one for their biggest contrasts chapter 236 the famous south and north conversation where mei mei says, "if you want to change go north but if you want to stick to your roots then travel south" nanami states that he didn't hesitate and picked south which is seen in his character as nanami could never really abandon the past whereas mei mei has been implied to go north and that can be seen through her own character and how she continuously moves and sticks with the flow of a situation.

However, you would think that we would get at least one scene where we see Gojo and nanami (the supposed protectors of children) criticise mei mei on how she treats and exploits UI UI but we don't

Mei Mei and choso

They are mainly contrasted when it comes to the idea of family.

A huge aspect of choso's character is his love for family. Choso deeply values all of his siblings and his mother but completely despises kenjaku (as he should!) This is contrasted to mei mei who has been stated to exploit and only use her family for money. Choso only hates one member of his family noritoshi Kamo aka kenjaku whereas mei mei only values one family member and that's UI UI. Choso will do anything for his siblings whether that is to kill for them or to he heavily protect them in the battlefield whereas mei mei wouldn't even protect her brother from sukuna and if it weren't for Miguel coming in UI UI would be dead. Choso wouldn't force anything upon yuji and tired to assist him the best he could whereas mei mei literally made UI UI take a binding vow that states that he can't use his CT without her permission. Mei mei and choso are directly foiled to eachother in chapter 133 where choso is seen to be continually freaking out over the discovery that itadori yuji is his sibling and that he almost killed him whereas mei mei was manipulating and basically grooming UI UI so he would stay a loyal pawn to her.

Mei and choso are basically the saying :

A curse that acts more human than a human that acts like a curse

Mei mei and toji

Their whole contrast mainly centers around their standing in Jujutsu society and the modern capitalist society.

The biggest difference between mei mei and toji is that toji failed in gambling and hoarding money whereas mei mei succeeded.

Both mei mei and toji used their family members as a way to gain money. Toji was going to sell megumi to the zenins clan (even if it was somehow for megumi's own good he was still gonna do it) but changed his mind right before dying whereas mei mei still exploits her brother and only views him as important when he can benefit her. They both gamble and hussle a lot of money however, toji fails at gambling and ends up running himself to the ground by trying to gain money over and over again whereas mei mei succeeds and is able to naturally exploit any situation to where she comes out on the winning side of gaining money. Both mei mei and toji seem to only care for one of their family members (megumi and UI UI). Mei mei manages to exploit the Jujutsu system and easily gain money from it whereas the system despises toji and made his life unbearable. Toji literally died because of his hatred to both the pinnacle of Jujutsu society (Gojo) and to his desire of money whereas mei mei didn't.

I also find mei Mei's character to be fascinating her cursed technique is basically black crow manipulation. In Japan black crows are seen as a symbol of good luck, fortune and gratitude which is similar to mei mei. There's also the hair design for MEI MEI. It looks like a curtain of some sort almost her hiding her identity and making her seem two faced but that honestly contradicts with the way she acts considering that she is very open about her lobe for money and how she uses her brother to get it.

In conclusion, I personally like mei mei but I just hate how gege doesn't outright use her character to critique anything and just has her there.

Protecting MK with a costlmk

#I will take my SWK and Mei parallel crumbs thank you #Like. Getting attacked by the curse and throwing yourself in front of MK (to which there are consequences) and then getting separated #Using your power to protect the people you care about indeed #So they both do it for MK but MK does it for Wukong in 4x13 #And then what's the consequence? Going into Monkey Form #AND THEN. And then #If EAMK proves true and MK had a fucked up past life #We can then apply Azure's speech to MK: ''After all MK has put you through...''#Let me have this.#My ''MK killed the pilgrims'' agenda continues #Damn originally I was going to go on a ''protecting MK at a cost'' rant for why the exchange theme will ruin our lives #But I really got side tracked there #Anyways: MK's one life against the world #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk parallels #lmk SWK #lmk Mei #lmk theme: exchange #opening my third eye tonight

Just saw a video calling ruan mei evil and most of the comments agreeing. I hate people applying a black and white view to characters, especially when it seems to almost always happen to women. "She's like a female dottore!" No she literally isn't. Her hope is to one day become an aeon yes but she doesn't have any harmful intent. She's not experimenting on humans and causing suffering, at most she's just unable to love her creations back. Plus dottore never got as much hate as ruan mei. She is a morally grey woman who has a great curiosity about life and creation which has become an obsession. She's gentle but terrifying in the way she's mostly indifferent to her research once completed, but she understands this about herself and feels guilty about it. She doesn't express her emotions in an obvious way but she feels deeply. Like hell, she named herself after her parents' surnames.

UGH i don't even know what I'm trying to say at this point but god i wish people would allow for nuance when it comes to women

#anyway this is just a little rant dont take it too seriously #also like ive noticed women characters who have a role as a creator but don't act motherly are hated more #like sorry that ruan mei isn't mom coded for you and is instead obsessed with the act of creation. god forbid women do anything #honkai star rail #ruan mei #nanjya.txt

Mei drives me insane she needs to get into pottery. Anything. ANYTHING that doesn’t have to do with some kind of legacy and/or Kiana.

Do something for yourself for ONCE in your life

She has Protagonist’s Tragic Girlfriend’s syndrome so bad and I am going to bite someone

#i saw a tweet that made me mad #this is the abridged and polite version of the resulting rant #honkai impact #hi3 #raiden mei #it’s not about whether she’s a top that’s a silly fucking argument to have #it’s about whether she’s got a spine and I distinctly recall her more or less beating up her own gf with it #like hello. did we play the same game. the balls of steel when she marched to her own death daring it to kill her. anyone #her number two solution to things is stabbing them including herself
