╾ Assorted Box of Headcanons
like a box of chocolates!
for L (strawberry chunk white chocolate swirl), Light (orange tang dark cocoa drink), Misa (chocolate mint icecream parfait) and Matsuda (chocolate mousse + full milk cream) I have moved to my main @lawlietscaramels please follow there for new content!
 ★━━─・‥…━━━☆
L: strawberry chunk white chocolate swirl
I think L's actually very prone to getting freaked out by jumpscares and unexpected loud noises. For this reason he hates horror movies and thunder. If he happens to experience a fright like this, he'll either go very very still and start trembling, OR he will jump ten feet in the air, drop whatever he's holding, and curse loudly.
I don't think L swears much outside of that, actually.
if you wear glasses he'll just put his hands on your face at any given moment to push them up your nose because the lenses aren't even in front of your eyes any more and what is wrong with you.
he would not kiss you if you have recently eaten something that does not contain heart-attack levels of caffeine and sugar.
yeah he's actually pretty germophobic.. at the same time man will straight up forget to have a shower/shave/brush his teeth.
well actually for that last one he just eats peppermint candy and calls it a day.
When L's handcuffed to Light, they sleep in the same bed. Well, usually L's still working, but he actually does a lot of things in Light's side of the bed. Like eat his food. especially crunchy crumbly food. petty ass.
if you can manage to sit on his lap while he's in his 40% frog pose you can stay there.
you will be used as a stress ball.
feed him sweets. he'll melt once he's distracted from work enough to realise your fingers are pressing the candies into his mouth
what lovely hands you have perhaps you should put them in his mouth
L loves the rain but I think he would prefer experiencing it in a small garden rather than a rooftop. or just in a driveway. the rooftops are just too high. he can see everything and it makes him feel small at a time he wants to feel at one with the whole world.
I'm seriously debating over whether he can square dance you drunk or if he has three left feet because it's one extreme or the other
his wardrobe looks like Homer Simpson's.
sigh. I kind of feel like L is often too busy to shave and usually has some degree of stubble. if you don't like it help him shave please he'll die kiss you
L probably has a lot of burner phones but no matter how you contact him, even in person, you're only allowed to call him L or Lawliet when you are completely completely definitely alone and you'll usually have to whisper. whisper in his ear and lick his neck he will literally shiver
anyway the point I was ACTUALLY going to make is call him lollipop (sweets. and sounds like Lawli-pop)
likes to just stare at you. no emotion in those pretty bottomless grey eyes of his but his internal monologue has suddenly switched to describe everything he likes about you.
big sucker for kisses. no time. :(
Light: orange tang dark cocoa drink
Okay but Light, when he isn't Kira, would actually be the sweetest boyfriend alive. Now yes I know he's portrayed as bored and apathetic but if he fell in love he would fall HARD!! to the centre of the earth!!! in his confession he might even propose getting married and raising 10 kids!!
honestly this kid shuts himself off from other people as much as L does, the only difference is that he's easier to get to. be his friend. ask about him.
sigh he'd buy you flowers.
he's got such a goofy laugh he sounds like a baby hyena or something.
Light is the kind of guy who would have the weirdest dreams. like "my entire class from high school went to a water park and I uncovered a cult that was plotting to kill me and sacrifice me to the teacher and-" if you let him explain in detail it's going on for hours.
every time L eats his food on Light's side of the bed, Light cuts his nails on L's side of the bed. petty ass #2
he would not like an "orange tang dark cocoa drink."
I feel like the best way to meet Light would be through the school's debate team. I started thinking about this when watching the musical (it wasn't a debate team but it WAS a debate)
omg if you managed to BEAT him?
who is this. he must know immediately. and also you were wrong back there- you hang out in the library? why hello there
his favourite food as a child was dinosaur nuggies. he thought they were made from dinosaur meat.
he still loves dino nuggies
okay as for when Light IS Kira. some of this is for if you have a relationship beforehand, some if you meet after.
you're actually one of the few people, along with Sayu and to some degree his parents, who he REALLY doesn't want to tell in case you hate him. but at the same time would you like to be the first angel of the new world?????
so he tries to figure out what you think of Kira. God or the Devil?
please love him. please don't hate him.
and let's be honest even if you don't think much of yourself you'd be much better help than Misa, who cut her life in half anyway.
I think Light's the kind of guy who, if he did perchance meet you as a detective on the Task Force would condition you to like him with a neat little psychological trick we like to call POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT.
you get something you like every time you see him and soon enough you get excited to see him!
at the same time he's constantly making you question whether Kira SHOULD be caught, all Inception style.
you'll love him. or you'll die. jk! (he's not)
Misa: chocolate mint icecream parfait
when she was little she wore rainbow clothes. real 180 when it turned to black black black.
loooves the beach.
sand! sun! swimming! bikini modelling! seashells! surfboards! sexy men with no shirts on! LIGHT WITH NO SHIRT ON!!!!
Misa has a really large collection of earrings of all types. kittens, the solar system, swords.
If you're friends with her she'll eventually pull you along to a modelling gig. No matter how much you protest, it will eventually happen. You'll just be there. Just pray Misa didn't forget to check the schedule and today is lingerie day.
she has 4000 photos on her phone, 3500 of which are selfies and 1750 of which have you in them.
her favourite Pokémon is Stufful!
Misa loves making origami and had a couple hundred paper cranes hanging from the roof of her bedroom when she lived with her parents.
This girl's FAVOURITE thing to do is hold hands. She would never let go if possible. Paint her fingernails and do her makeup, she'd be utterly devoted to you forever and ever. She'll do the same for you if you want.
Has a great singing voice!
Loves flowers. she reminds me of sunflowers in particular. give her bouquets. she'll put them everywhere and watch them slowly die with a smile.
Out of all food "types" I think Misa would like pastries and bakery food the most.
Her favourite letter used to be "L" but then she met L and it immediately became "H". "L" is now number 26 on the list.
Misa has the biggest collection of unused stickers and stamps to ever exist. She thinks they're really pretty.
if you're dating her or even someone else, DOUBLE DATES. anywhere and everywhere. parks. movies. restaurants. she will show up in your bedroom at night.
dressed up as the grim reaper for the past 5 Halloweens straight. only ate candy in pink wrapping.
she's a little like a cat in that she's prone to just knock coffee over paperwork or press her hands all over your keyboard. but, like a cat, she's too adorable to be angry at.
pick her up. spin her around. kiss her.
Matsuda: chocolate mousse + full milk cream
got really excited when Misa started talking about Pokémon but realised she just liked them because they're cute.. sob! he just wants someone to play Pokémon Go! with him!!!!
a very good chef. more actual meals than pastries etc though.
ughhhh his chicken parmigiana tastes like HEAVEN. the salad on the side is LIQUID GOLD.
just a silly little man who takes four tries to tie his tie properly every morning.
he can walk on his hands *bites lip sexily and accidentally breaks the skin, gets an infection and goes to hospital*
sigh he's so pathetic I love him
but goddamn. you guys remember that episode Matsuda overheard the Yotsuba meeting?? When he got his colour like L and Light AND HIS EXPRESSION???
sometimes he has unintentional moments like that, so serious and cool.
If you were dating him during the Kira case he'd ask L to help him erase every single record of your name to protect you. if L didn't agree the first time he'd make sweets with you to give to him. Matsuda is as cunning as anyone when he needs to be, though he hates doing it and can usually get along with puppy eyes.
"you really don't have to do that" when you tell him you love him or kiss him or just smile at him. he's too nice for his own good.
please coach him out of people pleasing.
I think he'd be really into camping actually!! can you imagine him in a silly little hat sitting around a campfire and toasting s'mores and damper?
His ENTIRE face lights up when he sees you. He thinks he's slick about hiding his crush from you but he really isn't.
he would just die if you had time to cuddle and watch a movie together one night. little kissies and calling him cute and really in general not watching the movie, just cuddling
He'd be the best friend EVER. super supportive and funny and generally just great. he'd make you soup if you got sick. he would hold your hair out of your face when you threw up. and then he would probably have to throw up too.
sorry that got a little gross dhbdbd
uhh Matsuda only drives Mazdas. he thinks it's funny (the name of the car came from the surname Matsuda). I think he'd like blue cars.
he likes to decorate the Task Force for the holidays to bring cheer and raise morale. he's the one reason nobody's gone insane yet (except Light but that couldn't be helped)

Freeeeeeeeeenooodles where!!!
✦ They bundle up together while they watch movies, they often end up falling asleep leaning against each other like this.
✦ Tang is REALLY BAD at dealing with horror, Pigsy's just okay with it. Whenever they watch a horror movie Tang tends to clutch onto Pigsy for dear life and buries his face in Pigsy's shoulder or neck whenever a jumpscare comes up. Pigsy has been scared more times by Tang screaming directly in his ear than he has by any of the movies they've watched. Married/Established relationship freenoodles: Pigsy tends to move Tang from his side to his lap so as to make him feel safer. They end up hugging the entire time, Tang occasionally falls asleep there if he's comfortable enough.
✦ Tang gets REALLY excited about a story he's rereading again or something new he's found and he immediately bolts to pigsy to frantically tell him everything. He also rants to Pigsy whenever he's trying to investigate how certain contradicting legends and story points fit together in the hopes that saying it out loud helps him make sense of it. Even if he doesn't understand and remember everything Tang says, Pigsy tends to listen to these findings and tangents anyway just because he likes to hear Tang talk.
✦ Though he does earnestly love hearing Tang's voice, sometimes (due to sensory overload probably) Pigsy just needs quiet. Tang has an unfortunate habit of not really noticing his surroundings and failing to pick up social ques when he's really deep in a lecture he's passionate about. Whenever Pigsy needs some silence for a while and Tang doesn't notice Pigsy grabs his face, gives him a kiss, taps his lips twice with a finger as a silent "no more talking" gesture, and then slides him over a free bowl of noodles before going back to work. This never fails to fluster the crap out of Tang for a few moments, Pigsy finds his reaction cute. Pigsy takes note of whatever story Tang was talking about at the moment and asks him to continue it at a different time when he can handle more noise.
✦ They're both susceptible to flirting but in different ways. Tang is a fairly good smooth talker and tends to get a flustered reaction out of Pigsy via excessive attention and compliments. Pigsy on the other hand starts addressing Tang by various different pet names in a loving tone of voice and Tang melts.
✦ With the exception of when there's a situation where one of them needs extra comfort from the other, there really isn't any big or little spoon. They're always cuddled together but its more so like a tangled pressed together mess than anything else.
✦ Pigsy snores at a volume equivalent to a truck horn but Tang sleeps like a rock so it evens out. Tang drools a river in his sleep and Pigsy has just gradually gotten used to it over the years.
✦ In college they tended to crash at each others' dorms for study sessions. Whenever Pigsy was trying out a new recipe Tang was THE resident taste tester!! Unless he was busy and Sandy or a classmate could take his place Tang was always there and more than happy to try out Pigsy's food. Pigsy frequently had to drag Tang away from schoolwork to make him take needed breaks. Sandy and Pigsy were the ones who used to break stuff and get in trouble when they were young, Tang just enjoyed watching it all go down. Both of them were more than willing to throw hands to protect Tang if need be.
✦ Unmarried freenoodles: baby mk learned somehow through books or Mei that parents were usually married. He was devastated when he found out that his two dad's were, in fact, not married and tried several times to try and make a wedding for them to the best of his 5-8 year old abilities. Baby mk also made them hold hands because that's what parents do according to baby logic, it was a necessity really.
✦ Forehead kisses. LOTS of forehead kisses. As a hello, goodbye, subtle display of affection, etc. Many many forehead kisses.
✦ Tang's ankle injury is legitimate and Pigsy has had to carry Tang around on rare occasion because of it. Pigsy likes to do so by literally sweeping him off his feet and carrying him bridal style, resulting in a momentarily surprised and flustered Tang.
Freenoodles :3

Seadall, localization, food, EABS culture, and discussion of Eating Disorder. Trigger Warning.
tl;dr: Seadall is pandering to an East Asian Beauty Standard, technically does not have eating disorder, but is bordering on Disordered Eating, and both the writers and localizers know it.
Tumblr media
Our first official male dancer of FE has a bit of a obsession over controlling his diet to a concerning degree. But is it actually an Eating Disorder? No, I don't think so. From my pov, this has everything to do with his job, a Dancer and the dreaded East Asian Beauty Standard (EABS).
EABS idealizes the fair skinned (asian colorism rAAAAGH), the lean and thin. Any level of fats or flaps are no good and is considered undesirable, or worse, a sign of one's gluttonous and even slothful character. IRL, that sentiment has become less pervasive, less judgemental and less awful than 10 years ago, but it's still around. Hell, it's in our Fire Emblems! Average out the body shapes of all dancers or even characters in FE and you'll see what I mean.
(are you in hell yet.)
This EABS is especially prevalent in 1 genre of media that comes pouring out of Japan and Korea... The Pop Idol scene. In Japan, the idol industry can be traced back to the 1960s, and though it has propped up the EABS, this standard's roots goes FURTHER back to even pre-colonialism era, to China and the Tang Dynasty where willowy female bodies were ideal. (That's 618-907AD.)
And when I say EABS, I will include the surrounding countries outside of Japan too. Similarities in culture and all that. Hence East Asian. (Don't be mistaken though. South East and South Asia also has to deal with this shit.)
But hey. I'm still talking about female EABS, right? Where does Seadall fall into this?
Uhhhh. Jumpscare. Surprise K-pop.
(ps i dont know k-pop as well so idk who these ppl are im sorry waaaaug)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dancers and the Idol Industry
It's easier to see on the female side, but uh, that specific body shape is often achieved through extreme dieting. The body fat % is so low that the dancer's lower ribcage can be seen. Before shooting the dance or a performance, these idol's agencies will notify them to slim down to a certain goal, like say drop 2kg (4.4 lbs) or 4kg (8.8 lbs) in x time, and this is typical. Guys here are no exception.
Weight is manufactured. Looks to some extent (plastic... surgery....). The clothes too, are intentionally picked. Exposing the belly is common since it's the quickest indicator of skinniness.
But hey, I actually lied about the dieting part. It's not really dieting as it's actually straight up starvation, tbh. To lose that weight, the dancers/idols will often eat as little as some protein shake, a few fruits and maybe potato for fiber. Yes, it's as hellish as it sounds, and no, these people are unable to fully function with a calorie intake like this. Source for this claim will be in a video at the bottom of the post by youtuber chaebin n out, titled "How K-POP Destroys Your Body". So.
W̵͓͍̏͝e̴͉̾ḽ̷͈͐ĉ̶̠̝͋ö̶̤́m̷̲̒ê̶̬ ̶̧̅ṭ̷̘͑͑ö̵͇́ ̸̛͖̑h̵̳̿͝ė̶͕͉l̵̜͖̇͗ḻ̶̑!̴̪͊̉
Ok, but that's K-pop. What about J-pop?
Japan, where FE rolls out from, have J-pop, which is slightly different. J-pop idols also suffer from EABS but afaik it's not as extreme. Many contemporary J-pop idol groups like Atarashii Gakko!(left) and Babymetal(right) also Do Not make thinness a major selling point with their costuming. This is usually done through hiding the midriff, where belly fat most easily forms. (EABS is still in effect though, don't be mistaken! There could be just as extreme cases out there I'm not aware of ;_;)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So it seems like people kind of agree that obsessing about weight and developing body image issue is messed up.
Hopefully now I've established what is going on irl for Seadall's influences, and what is considered normal or extreme. Relatively anyway. (I hate EABS so much hhggr)
Let's detour to...
Food! Staples! What's normal?
An average meal in Japan consists of a variety of veggies, tofu and a serving of protein, which results in lower fat intake. Also, RICE is a major staple in these meals, so assuming the writers are approaching it with the best intentions, and how Engage's normal might appear to native Japanese audiences, JP Seadall's worry only seems to be on oily food intake and is not overly concerning to me.
In fact, here is an example of a staple set meal (teishoku) I ate over there last December. Yum yum:
Tumblr media
Overall a very lean meal. So it's likely Seadall eats something similar-ish and not just greens.
Another important point is that in (East) Asia/Japan, oily food is seen as unhealthy and contributes greatly to cholesterol. This aversion to oily food is driven somewhat by EABS and... Health. I also promise most people are actually chill about this. ...Most people! Meat is yummy! Gyukaku and Ikinari Steak is popular and popping! That's why Seadall likes it after all.
So this is where Seadall's writing starts to contrast. For the most part in the EN version, he only worries about meat. In JP, it's technically oily food, which meat falls under, and he's worried about putting on weight.
Why the extreme worry tho...?
The logic for why all these matters so much to him is this: if a dancer is surrounded by other dancers who are reinforcing this EABS (mirroring the standards of the real world), then their only choice to stay relevant and keep their job is to commit to the same dietary choice and uphold the same EABS, or even have a EABS outperforming the standard.
Because a Dancer's job, or rather, Seadall's job is to pander to people's ideals of beauty. Hence his supports where hair and skin and food becomes a topic.
If he fails the standard, according to the J-pop and K-pop industry, he kind of fails at his job. Is it fair? Fuck no, but no matter what opinion we may think of the standard as outsiders, it remains that there is a LOT of social conditioning and manufacturing going on leading to... all of that. I scream too. I scream a lot, internally.
So what does Seadall look like to someone in this East Asian sphere...?
To the writers credit, they do push for Seadall to indulge more food that makes him happy for at least his mental well-being through the other characters.
This also happens to fall in line with Engage's low key theme of cherishing the moment.
With all I've explained, Seadall might come across as warning to those who over-worry about oily food consumption and trying to pander to an EABS to... chill the fuck out. That it's ok to just go eat some delicious yakiniku if you want to! Go off! If a female character who is concerned with this comes across as too vain, then let's have a guy do it and hope the point lands for the (potentially female) players.
And with all these missing context, it's very easy for one who isn't clued into this sphere assume that Seadall has some eating disorder or that the writers are advocating it. I don't think that's happening here at all. The localizers likely are aware of this missing context and have toned it down several levels for EN release. Wise move, tbh.
(progressiveness can be relative btw. something to keep in mind @_@)
So, is Seadall coming close to some kind of Disordered Eating? Possible. From what I see I think the writers are trying to push Seadall away from it, and trying to stop it from becoming a full blown Eating Disorder. Personally, again, I don't think he has an Eating Disorder.
However! Your Mileage May Vary. I only hope for my opinion and understanding to help inform others, not override it. What's normal for me isn't for everyone, and vice versa, but it's important to remember where Fire Emblem originates from.
And here's the last thing I promised: the video essay if you really want to dive into it:
youtube
And that's about it.
Hope this was interesting! Thanks for reading. 😄
EDIT: the Chinese net sphere is the exception to all of this, EABS is especially bad there

today i was making my friend watch the lmk pilot, and got Jumpscared, bc i forget every time that there's a moment where red son goes "so you want to be heroes, huh? let me show you what happens to heroes" and my brain immediately went "????! C!TECHNO REFERENCE????????"
(luckily the friend was also familiar with dsmp so we were able to laugh together bc we had the same thought) (red son Would be a ctechno fan tbh) (he and mk wouldve been parasocial online enemies who got involved in c!bedrock discourse around the doomsday era methinks)
oh absolutely. (mei would champion cniki methinks. i also feel like mk would really vibe with ctubbo.)
i can just imagine the three of them bickering over lore together.
[they take a dsmp character uquiz]
[i think mei would get techno ngl or tommy, mk would probably get tubbo or tommy, red son gets jack manifold bc he pressed a wrong answer and didn't notice and promptly cracks the phone in half.]
tang has a strong taste of his own medicine listening to mk infodump cclingy and sbi lore and now can eloquently describe and debate over the entire history of l'manburg.

Hello there and welcome to my first time rambling about my thoughts on Monkie Kid's Season 4 Special. Now if you haven't seen the special then please scoll away. Or don't, I can't stop you.
After hearing the news of MK S4S dubbed, I hopped in and watched it. It was tempting to resist because the Special had already released in Chinese but it was worth the watch. So it's time to show my random thoughts of the special down below.
Again, SPOILERS FOR THE SPECIAL!
{Are you still here? Oh good, I can start rambling~}
{Oh snap, the sky is falling apart. Not good, Azure…}
{Poor Nezha, being the one who's injured the most. I hope we get a relaxing episode of him in the future again. But dang, how Tang and Sandy fixes the scoll is the most dumbest but relatable thing they did together.}
{"Can't believe I'm sticking out for Wukong, again." I can, Macaque.}
{LEGO!}
{IT'S THE MONKEY KING BOYS! HE CHATTERS!}
{Awe! The monkey babies loves Macaque~}
{OH MY GOD THAT OUTFIT! I can't decide if I should cringe in agony or laugh in joy when seeing Wukong trying to communicate with humans!}
{THEY FOUND THE THIRD BABY MONKEY IMMEDIATELY.}
{OH! More backstory!}
{Oh…more backstory…Well, honestly I didn't expect to see Macaque to be able to interact with Wukong.}
{Geez, that whole argument is an intense mess. It's like a lot of their feelings that were build up from before had brought out the worst of what's intended. Wukong seems like he expected a chance of escape and Macaque wanted to console the guy. But of course, of the situation at hand, neither of them get what they wanted from each other.}
{Also, THE FOURTH MONKEY! THEY'RE ALL OKAY!}
{OH! THE OTHER PILGRIMS! It's great to see them again! Although, only for a small moment…}
{We all want to know about them too, MK. But not everything has to be explained. Sometimes the past is sensitive to talk about. Like everything else around him, they're not MK.}
{Man, you look exhausted there, Wukong. Like mentally exhausted.}
{THAT WHOLE MOMENT IS BEAUTIFUL. MK saying words to motivate Wukong and Macaque being there to affirm them. Two people that are important to him just as much to them.}
{THE BROTHERHOOD!}
{Awe, Azure. To see him suffering because of what he has seen has taken him in the deep end. I will agree that the Celestials are powerful but careless beings that only act when they think are needed, but now that we see the Jade Emperor and how much of an impact he has maintaining the world is very prominent. I don't know how complicated he was able to deal with that but seeing how Azure isn't doing it well, it shows.}
{Pfft, monkey class. Of course, they have to be in Wukong's house, but I want to see how they led up to that scene.}
{HA I LOVE WUKONG AND NEZHA'S BANTERS! ALSO, FRICKEN CRAYONS!}
{MACAQUE JUMPSCARE! Anyways, the planning they have for each of the Camel Ridge crew sounds plausible. A bit more explanation on how to deal with them would be nice to know.}
{NEZHA I LOVE YOU BUT PLEASE STOP GETTING HURT!}
{Cool, a training sequence~}
{MK'S TURN TO DRAW! Huh, I should've just kept watching on their planning.}
{LOVE MK'S LITTLE DOODLES! Also, they're getting into details, but I'm guessing there's still more to work out on.}
{Okay, it's sweet that Yellowtusk is worried about Azure's stability and interesting to hear how confident Peng believes in Azure's powers, but for them to fight in a place that reminds me the time they once dine happily together makes me concerned for them all. Of course, Azure comes in.}
{MONKEYS IN ARMOR! SO CUTE!}
{PIGSY AND HIS LITTLE MONKEY BUDDY! AWWWEE!}
{Ooh. A glimpse of Wukong trying to console MK about his origin's powers. It going good until the plot progress itself...}
{WOW THAT'S A COOL SHOT OF THE TRIO!}
{MACAQUE VS PENG! MEI'S THERE TOO!}
{PIGSY, TANG, AND SANDY AGAINST YELLOWTUSK! But it's more therapeutic than a fight.}
{AND NOW WUKONG WITH MK FIGHTING AZURE!}
{Cute, MK hugging Wukong to never let him go again. ONLY TO BE PUT THEM INTO MORE TROUBLE.}
{Inky! And with the images of PIF, DBK, LBD, and Nezha(?) too~}
{"Well, one monkey and one unconfirm, but yeah I'd be embarrass for sure." Oh boy, the writers knows what they're teasing with on that line.}
{Oh dang, that's cool! Wukong holding his staff like a bazooka to expand it and Azure holding it off like a champ. THEN MK WOOSHED UP TO TAKE A STEP FURTHER ON THE STAFF!}
{MONKEY BUDDIES DOING THEIR BEHALF! THEY'RE SO CUTE!}
{AND THERE'S MONKEY MECH!}
{PORTY MK! With Wukong's cardboard!?}
{"I hate monkeys." Azure is such a joker.}
{OH! A flashback to Mei's plans!}
{HAHA! I love how witty Mei explains the stuff. It shows how she's improving from the last time they struggle against with LBD's battle.}
{NO THE MONKEY BABIES! NO MK!}
{Awe, Azure. He's so conflicted when he feels up against Wukong and MK. Especially on Wukong because of how high he used to respect Wukong's words back then until it crumbles after being sealed for over hundreds of years with no one to help him.}
{……Monkey MK.}
{The size and power comparison between Azure and MK during their fights are fun.}
{Azure? Lion baby? You're breaking.}
{Oof, MK giving him the "reasons you suck" speech. Also, MK'S MONKEY MONSTER!? THIS SHOW IS WILD.}
{Ugh, poor Azure. The universe is breaking…}
{A Peng insult. Of course, Peng doesn't want to let that slide, but OH MAN THE SMOKE MONSTER AND MEI'S DRAGON LOOKS SO COOL! I wonder if we would get to see Peng again.}
{Oooh~ Positivity is rubbing off on Yellowtusk. It's sweet to see him returning the weapons to Pigsy, Tang, and Sandy. AND THEY GET TO WEAR THEIR OUTFITS!}
{And the hero team is back. Only to see Azure struggling to keep everything together.}
{"How are you here?" And that's one way how the series foreshadows Seasons 5.}
{Seeing Azure realizing his mistakes really pulls my heartstrings. The guys wants to see everything going well in his own way. He knew his risks but it seems like he didn't think it through. A person blinded by his past has brought him more pain than he ever thought. Just…let me hug the cat please.}
{Azure disintegrating…rest in peace.}
{Oh sweet, Nezha is here. Where was he? Neverminded that, at least he's able to maintain the Emperor's powers. For now…}
{Man, those chains around the world are sooo ominous. It's sweet to see that everyone are doing their best to bring it all together.}
{DADSY! TANGY! SANDY BABY! MEI BUDDY! I love how they check on MK first after fighting the most difficult part of their plan!}
{Nezha being a trooper to deal the other half of the situation. Releasing the beings in the scroll, jailing Yellowtusk, containing the Emperor power, and more…I feel bad for the guy…}
{"So long as we leave the world in better shape than we found it, then it's all good, right?" I wish it is, MK.}
{THE BEACH!}
{It's so cute that they include DBK and his family. Like, they missed the majority of this season but THEY'RE HERE!}
{MK putting on sunscreen is fun, even his chat with Wukong is rather light-hearted.}
{Ah, the part that everyone determines is for fanservice: Shadowpeach in DBZ's outfits.}
{An interesting way to end when this will just remind all the Monkie Kid Fans that the perpetrator is out there.}
{And there he is.}
OVERALL!
{The Special did a great job hyping the ending of the season. I was happy to see Wukong's and Macaque's backstory more, understanding the Brotherhood's concerns for each other, and the heroes trying to clean up the mess as much as they can. This balance well with the intense moments and their fighting scenes. But as much as I love most parts of the episode's, there's some that are off to me. I found some of odd choice of voice recording in the show, like Past Macaque's rejecting Past Wukong's help on his scarf and the intensity of MK's voice when he went Monkey Mode. Of course, there's also some parts that ends in plot holes, like where the heck is Peng going!? Is Monkey MK a good thing or a bad thing!? And who freed Azure Lion!? There's those and my bias on seeing much of the Special on a first impression but I still hope to watch more of that being explained. I might watch it again just to see anything else I might've not caught on. In the end, the Season 4's Special feels deserved and I hope we get a time to watch Season 5.
What do you guys think of this season's Special? Do you enjoy it or was there something you hate about? I would be happy to hear your thoughts and share more about mine as we wait for the next chapter of MK's life.
I'm now off to dream~}

Which chapters do I need to read to learn about Tang Bo? Cuz everything I know so far is that the surface level facts about him.
I'm writing a fic and I've try to read the novel a couple time but I'm yet to find a decent translation (is so hard to engage, not just because of the clumsy writing those translations provide, but also because of the "Hawaiian dinosaur" jumpscaring me out of the website.)

Unknown Collection spoilers under the cut!
These are just my thoughts!
I really actually liked Unknown Collection!…except for the ending.
I really loved Sachiko and the mc. I wish the mc wasn’t the player and instead an actual playable character (that would of been cool) but eh, oh well.
And Sachiko’s backstory! Wahhhhh 😭
I wish Yamato was in it more. Tang Xuan too. What I’m not biased at all what are you taking about 🫢
I was also overjoyed to see Xuan Pin. I’m happy to see my girl again.
And the Hilda jumpscare 😭 I did not expect her to make an appearance, even if she was just in Tevor’s picture roll.
Overall, the pacing was kinda wacky to me, but I liked it. Until the end. When Gaius of all people turned out to be evil. Like HUH? I wish a new character would of been evil instead. Like imagine this cool new Esper, who could of been super close to Raven and them, but then turns out to backstab everyone. Gaius really isn’t that guy.
The ending when Sachiko died(?) made me tear up tho. Her and the mc’s relationship was really sweet to me, she and the mc were really the highlight of the whole thing. Their friendship means everything to me 🥹

Fun fact: Look at Wukong's little blue boy scout cape in the flashback :) yeah it's blue, some unexpected red/blue duo coding with Macky there. AND the one he has in the future is red. In fact, one might even say it's the exact same one Macky was wearing. Gee, wonder what happened there. Also the him!! the white horse dragon Ao Lie who is unexpectedly really derpy and OWO UWU for someone we thought was going to be a grumpy old man at first XD I was just going "haha very Macaque of you Mei" when she was saying "you're nothing!" @/herself kind of in relation to other people also being if so and so expectation isn't met. Y'know *jazz hands towards The Winning Side again* we do say Mei and MK are just ShadowPeach but healthier. but the hero and the warrior- were like...the sea and sky...? And then she did the "ugh this guy" facepalm and I had to pause bc lmao??? Macky does that too......my sincerest apologies to hero!Mei truthers, which could still be very valid and sure was at the start + MK having a bit of Macky's fighting style someone said once, they do swap and share traits a lot but I get the sneaaaaaky feeling we're in for a ShadowPeach 2.0 sometimes. Tang finding Mo is so cute and silly, and Macky is so stressed and tense you can hear it in his voice...hehe, what are all those options btw and did they have anything to do with Point B aka your possible death....whatdya do Mac? If option "Wukong is a traitor" isn't what you subscribe to. Then perhaps its "Wukong is an unwilling participant" cue the theory that Macky attacked Tripitaka and gang bc well, he did it in JTTW anyways but we're expecting the reasons to be different. But there's an extra layer to why he would, almost like *gets dragged off stage* anyways. Tang's face when he realizes which part of the story the magic river water is XD and then we flash to, I think Chang'e floating to the moon? Nezha's fight against that one dragon oh no so they're keeping that plot line, I mean of course they are. Nezha's story is so dark tho, its def implied they're keeping the whole thing I think. Not and LBD jumpscare...I thought that was Princess Iron Fan on my first watch whoops. but hello??? She was part of the Celestial Realm at first??? HMMMMM. well that definitely doesn't make things all the more suspicious. It's kind of funny how much they talk about Monkey King being MK's dad bc the writers are fully aware of what the fandom might think, or was thinking before anyways, but they confirmed it on twitter that's not the case. I just checked ep 6 and its got a nice fun cliffhanger for you to chew on. build up expectations and ideas.
Hmmm... interesting 👀

The Stars Claim Them Playlist (will be updated over time)
So yesterday, me and a few others over on the Stars Claim Them discord made a playlist for the series. I would post the playlist itself, but it's got my full name on it so no.
That being said, the playlist so far!
Tales To Be Told -- The Mechanisms, because you can't not put TTBT on a TSCT playlist
Dreams pt. II -- Sara Skinner, Lost Sky, it just has TSCT vibes and you'll understand once you listen
How Far We've Come -- Matchbox Twenty, Walls chapter one energy
Did I Say That Out Loud? -- Barenaked Ladies, just. Marius vibes. That is all (thanks to Stargazer for this one!)
Welly Boots -- The Amazing Devil, Lyf and Brenn or Tim and Danny
Fourth of July -- Sufjan Stevens, to quote Dr. Apples (Void fan 8.9) on the discord (@mmmackandcheese here) "for that violinspector angsts"
The Cult of Dionysus -- The Orion Experience, once again suggests by Dr. Apples. You can't tell me it doesn't have mechs vibes
Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In! -- Will Wood and the Tapeworms, it just has vibes. Don't ask me to explain it
Your Stupid Face -- Kaden MacKay, THE ship song, fits violinspector perfectly
Stranded Lullaby -- Miracle Musical, once again just vibes.
Dream Sweet in Sea Major -- Miracle Musical, see above
Uh Oh -- Junior Doctor, MARIUS SONG
It's Called: Freefall -- Paris Paloma, it fits
Blood and Whiskey -- The Mechanisms, anyone who's been keeping up with TSCT knows my opinions on this song
vs The Heat Death of the Universe! -- The Narcissist Cookbook, suggested by @nick-nack-nyx "this song specifically gives me Lyf vibes" Bonus points for: Being in 3/4 time and the phrase "smile for the camera flash blinding" which always gets the Bifrost thoughts going
Stray Italian Greyhound -- Vienna Tang, iykyk
Red Signal -- The Mechanisms, is it really a TSCT playlist without eldritch chanting jumpscare?
