Our 78 year old Italian neighbour Josie might not remember my name, and may never get my pronouns right, but the thing is: We Are Besties and I am totally obsessed with her. She blasts disco music 24 hours a day. She chain smokes. She is so obsessed with Vegemite that she cut a holiday visiting family back home short because she was seized by Cravings. She took her first ever selfie with me. She flirts with my fiancé. Once I had to rescue her from her finding a lizard in her toaster. She drinks her first coffee of the day at like 4 am. Recently she told me “if anyone tries to take you away from me… I will kill them” with total seriousness and I fully reciprocate it. She is a constant source of chaos in our lives. I would do anything for her and I love her with all my heart

i would be the absolute worst puppet history guest because in at least half these videos, about 1/3 of the way through, i say to myself, “wait i know this story” as well as some detail that ends up being a question within the next ten minutes. I’m not sure if shane or ryan would kill me first but i’d end up haunting watcher studios before the end song

In JttW, changing ones name is quite common and usually accompanied by a big changes in their life (mostly for Buddhist reasons). And LMK seems to acknowledge this since they have used both the pre-Journey Zhu Ganglie as well as his later Zhu Bajie names when talking about the Pig Pilgrim.
And with this line of thought: there is no way that Iron Fan is is PIF's birth name.
Not only is it way too on the nose (unless PIF chose/was given her fan because of her name), she also has gone through a huge change in her life: abandoning her life as a Celestial Maiden and marrying DBK.
Which means... There is a huge opportunity for the show (or fanfic) writers to give her a double identity.
And part of me kinda hopes, if canon, that identity will be Yang Chan; the sister of Erlang Shen.
I mean think about it.
As Celestial, she was shown to have an equal standing with nephew and (kinda) grandson of the Jade Emperor. This makes it very likely that PIF is also related to the Jade Emperor in one way or another.
If she is Yang Chan, her mother would be Yunhua (Yaoji?); a goddess whose job by some sources was to "limit the gods' mortal urges such as love, greed, and ambition". Is it just me, or aren't those also major traits of Iron Fan as a character?
You could argue that DBK getting imprisoned under a mountain is loosely inspired by The Magic Lotus Lantern, the main story Erlang's sister is known for (forbidden marriage, parent getting imprisoned under a mountain by their brother, the son getting a weapon linked to Sun Wukong is a key item at freeing the said parent.)
IronBull family has been part of every single season so far. And when the time to choose the next Jade Emperor comes, it would be so easy for the writers to use PIF (who is still Celestial enough for Azure to refer her as such) as an excuse to get them involved in the progress. Double so if it actually turns out that PIF (and Red Son) has a claim for the throne.
The mere idea of Erlang and PIF as siblings is absolutely hilarios

Cole: Guess who just found out the difference between wax paper and parchment paper the hard way?
Jay: Wait, what’s the difference?
Cole: One you can use in the oven safely, and the other one you can also use in the oven… if the thing you are trying to make happens to be fire.

Me: There’s not enough Aegon fics
Me: if I want something then I have to write it myself. I will single-handedly fill the Aegon fic tag with content.
Me: *stares at my screen for two hours producing only one paragraph before getting distracted by a noise and forgetting what I was doing*
Also me: *starts two new wips because my memory is so bad I forgot about the first*
