season 4 special spoilers
"oh yeah because normally you just RUSH to my rescue"
It goes without saying that this seems harsh and it is. On first glance, it seems like wukong is undermining everything Macaque has done for him but I don't think that's what wukong meant by it. I think he was referring to the fallout of the war against Heaven.
Let me explain. Wukong was the only one captured by heaven meaning the others including Macaque would have retreated without him leaving him at the mercy of heaven. We know they don't partially care about 'mortal' life (yes wukong is very immortal I mean from the mortal plain aka not a god). and keep in mind that wukong doesn't know he is imvisable from his perspective his closest friends, family even, just left him for dead. Something that he is terrified of to the point of paranoia (which is understandable, I would be too if I was kidnapped in my sleep and taken to the underworld).
Sure he may hope they come back for him but if he does that just makes it even sadder because well they don't. and it's not like they didn't have any time to either. for one, I really doubt that wukong was taken off the battlefield and straight to execution. I'm sure would have been a few heavenly days in a prison cell even if just to give them time to set up the execution but like also there is no way I don't see heaven torturing him for either information or just daring to fight against them. plenty of time to stage a rescue. even if he was taken straight to the execution bloke it still would have taken a few minutes if not more to get there. since each heavenly day is a mortal year that would probably translate to weeks. so there is no way that the Brotherhood didn't have time at least try and save wukong. Macaque specifically could have probably done it even without the support of the rest of the brotherhood. he can just shadow portal either wukong out or himself in to free wukong. we see that Macaque can do this in season 4 so we know he can portal there he just doesn't.
Even if there was a spell preventing shadow portal-ing on the holding cell the brazier of 8 trigrams would not have this security feature since it normally wasn't used for executions. This means that it theoretically should have been easy for Macaque to get Wukong especially given that Wukong was in there for 49 mortal years and especially especially since wukong was probably calling for him or at least screaming. which Macaque could probably hear given his abilities (which are proven to exist in the show). Furthermore, the brazer was probably left unguarded after a few days or so it should have been a piece of cake.
Then there is havoc in heaven. which would have been the biggest slap in the face for Wukong because none of the Brotherhood would really need to do anything but show up. Wukong almost defeated Heaven single-handedly. The only thing that the brotherhood would need to do is stop Wukong from making the bet with Buddha and they would have won and completed their goal. They were so close but no none of the brotherhood came to support Wukong in the battle. it's not like no one knew of battle as demons repetitively bring it up in jttw. and again there would have been time. Most battles last hours if not a full day which means there would have been months for the Brotherhood to prepare and join but they didn't. Even if it wasn't well known what was happening at the time Macaque with his good ears should have been able to tell. I know that Azure, Yellow Tusk, Peng, and DBK probably wouldn't want to go fight heaven to defend Wukong but Wukong wouldn't have needed them. even if it was just Macaque. If he had shown up before the bet they would have won.
This would be very upsetting. traumatizing even because he was abandoned and left for dead. terrifying because he thought he was going to die. Frustrating because he was right there. Sure there could be a valid reason why Macaque didn't help Wukong but we don't know it, Wukong probably doesn't know it. From Wukong's perspective, Macaque just left him to be tortured and killed only to return once he lost everything to give him one 'whole peach' as an apology while saying "You know I'd help if I could" despite there being multiple times that he could have helped. Which triggered the line of Macaque not 'rushing' to his aid. After the facts are laid out from Wukong's perspective you can kinda see where Wukong is coming from and why would lash out so badly. The reasons why Macaque's got the wrong approach are better explained in the post if you're interested.
I like to finish by saying I'm in no way saying that what happened was completely Macaque's fault nor I am saying that Wukong had the right to treat him so harshly. all I'm saying is that it is understandable for Wukong to act like this given what he went through, his words are not completely unfounded, Macaque and Wukong both shoulder the blame for this, and Wukong needs therapy yesterday. chop chop people/j

Currently obsessed with the idea that the boys go to Time for love advice, since "he's married so he knows this stuff right?"
I mean they couldn't recognize a wedding ring??? And neither did he???
And time was saying this in his youth I mean cmon
Twilight: So ancestor. What would you do if like. Malon left to another world and never came back
Time: ... bro Malon called me fairy boy and then we were married like what
Hyrule: So uhh old man. How does one. Meet a girl.
Time: By speaking to her I guess? Or not, Malon did the talking for me
Hyrule: riiiiight...
Wild *no tact*: Hey so like... what if your redheaded wife who's name started with M died.
Time: what?!?!
Wild, undeterred: but like before she proposed.
Time: ...
Wild: and you don't remember if you would have said yes. What's your advice for dealing with that?
Time: ... vent to a fairy?
Warriors: hey old man
Time: no no no not this one asking me please
Warriors: how do I get women to stop coming after me. So I can ya know. Choose without war trying to force me into relationships
Time: I can safely say I've never had that problem captain
Wars: of course not *smirks*
Wars: ok but seriously how do I make them go away
Time: ... wear a wedding ring so they think you're taken, I've got a shiny extra
Time: no no why- they won't stop, I don't know how to do love!
Time: ok well at least I have legend. That kid would never ask for advice, I'll sit by him.
Legend: so old man.
Time, looking forward to a normal conversation: yeah?
Legend: hypothetically, what would you do if you found out Malon didn't exist.
Legend: And her whole world didn't, but it did, and now it doesn't
Time: ...Excuse me for a minute.
Time, writing a letter as fast as he can: MALON HOW DO I GIVE LOVE ADVICE THEY THINK IM WISE
Malon: lol
Happy Valentine's Day guys, have a headcanon :P
The boys go to Time for love advice and Time spouts whatever wise-sounding bs he can, before shoving them all on Malon for therapy when they visit the ranch

special operatives
(silly interaction beneath read more)
[ID: Digital Art in color of Trigun Maximum, characters included are Wolfwood, Elendira, and Legato in a casual meeting situation. The piece consists of orangey yellow lighting and purple shadows. Wolfwood sits on the left side, facing Elendira who’s on the right. He’s seated on a plain wooden chair with one knee up and he’s holding the strap to his Punisher in his left hand while his right sits against his thigh, He has an irritated expression as he speaks to Elendira. Elendira is sitting in a fancier seat, her right arm rests against Wolfwood’s propped up knee, her left hand holds her suitcase. She’s sitting cross legged with an amused expression. Legato can be seen in the back at the center of the image in his mobile body case, one of his eyes shown to be glaring at Wolfwood. End ID]
[ID: Sketch, uncolored comic. Elendira says to Wolfwood, “I’m not telling you to dedicate yourself to him, but just accept the situation at hand. We could get along better if we were on the same page.” Wolfwood responds, “Don’t peg me me for an optimist. I’m not dumb. But, I’m also not going to just live in resignation. Plus, I don’t have any interest in getting along with ya.” Elendira coos, “Aw, you sure? I have a wonderful shoulder to cry on when the weak people you’re trying to protect eventually dies in the coming months. Though, I guess it’s fine. Someone like you might just die before then anyway...” She snickers in her hand while Wolfwood is speechless and just glares. Legato is faintly drawn in the back, glaring at Wolfwood, muttering “worthless” repetitively. End ID]

Prompt 296
Through a series of miscommunication, the League is now under the impression that Batman, strange cryptid that he is, may or may not have given birth to the other vigilantes running around in Gotham. This was not helped by Bruce referring to all of his children, no matter how big they get, as his babies. Nor was it helped by Red Robin, in the middle of a narcolepsy-fueled imminent crash, mentioned how he had no mother.
It also doesn’t help that no one is aware that they are in fact completely normal people, and not aspects of Gotham itself brought to life. Though really that’s on the bats themselves, because at this point they should at least count as undead.

the good thing is we don’t have to defend kevin day online ever again partly because he’s lovely when he’s not under life-ending threats and partly because jean moreau is doing it already with a fervor that borders on insanity

superman: birthright is really good for a lot of reasons, but i have to say my favorite part of the entire thing is ma kent's ufo conspiracy board. or like that offhand mention pa drops that clark and ma did something in roswell. in my heart there's an annual kent family trip to the ufo festival in roswell every summer. kon, clark, kara, chris, and jon all need matching "i believe" t-shirts. ma takes so many photos. lois goes off on someone who still thinks the actual roswell alien thing hasn't been debunked. theres a group of aliens just standing there getting "i think aliens are real" merch. they are the funniest family on the planet

Irondad fic ideas #148
You know those homework assignments where you have to interview someone in your family and then write an essay about their responses? Fic where Peter's class is told to interview their dad / a father figure in their life.
Peter decides to interview Tony. But, he doesn't want his class to accuse him of lying, and he definitely doesn't want Tony to know what the assignment is about.
So for Tony, Peter makes it seem like the assignment is just to interview anyone. Then, he carefully chooses questions to ask that are domestic and personal enough to avoid any mention of superheroes, celebrities, or so on. The few details that do slip through he just leaves out of his final essay.
For the class problem, Peter solves it by referring to Tony in the essay exclusively as "dad"
Unfortunately for Peter, the teacher then announces a part 2 to the assignment. Right after collecting the essays, the teacher says they will now need to bring the people they interviewed to school for their presentations
Peter has pretty much decided to not even mention it to Tony and just say his dad is busy. But then Flash has to open his big mouth.
He accuses Peter of just making his assignment up, loudly reminding the class that he's an orphan. Peter clarifies that this father figure thing is a new development, but now the teacher looks suspicious
Peter is going to have to ask Tony to come to his school. And he's going to have to explain why the class will be full of kids and their fathers

the thing about eliot spencer as a character, right. the thing about him.
(and as always your mileage may vary on my analyses so if we disagree that's cool actually)
is that he is in fact a somewhat emotionally constipated idiot who is occasionally sensitive about his perceived masculinity and gets defensive about emotional intimacy around other men (largely hardison, who's much more comfortable expressing affection and embracing a softer kind of masculinity), but eliot displays enough emotional awareness and sensitivity and respect for women etc etc that anyone who's been subjected to that era of television will put on rose-tinted glasses without even looking twice.
(and he is, don't get me wrong, incredibly emotionally aware for a professionally punchy guy with enough trauma to sink the titanic. it still startles me to see.)
on top of which we have the layers and the accessories and the excellent hair with the secret braids and the way he barely has an ego and he's good with kids and protective of his team without taking it too far, and some of us never stood a fucking chance.
