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

My abstract portrait pfp, depicting a citizen of Los Diablos.
Name redacted. Gender redacted. Species redacted.
Telepath. Cuckoo. Secretly both.
A forceful, terrifying known killer; introduced and acknowledged only as a citizen. Everyone will be forced to admit it. No one will claim they are not again. This is the power of having no name.
[A bright orange barcode, shattered like a window and spray painted with custom Sidestep blue, overlaid onto the same grey faces of a citizen. That unreadable, incorporeal, abyssal multi-face could almost look blue.]

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🧍🏻did i do it right
The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open. Coyote wheeled his suitcase in and pushed the button for the sixth floor. Hangman grabbed Bob by the back of his shirt before he could enter, said “Nope,” and walked in, hoisted Coyote up off the floor, his hands hooked under Coyote’s thighs, slammed him against the wall and kissed him before the doors even slid shut again.
Coyote was laughing into his mouth and kissing him back all at once, desperate and sloppy and happy, and Hangman couldn’t get enough of him. He felt electrified, wanting only to kiss more, to touch more, to crawl into Coyote’s skin if he could. “That wasn’t,” Coyote eventually managed between kisses, once the door had closed and the elevator started rising, “very nice.”
“Yeah? Want me to stop so I can go back down and apologize?”
The hand Coyote had in his hair tightened. “Fuck no.”
“Thought not,” Hangman said, and kissed his neck, biting and sucking at his pulse point. Coyote moaned; his grip on Hangman’s hair was so tight it was nearly painful, but Hangman relished the ache. He was here. “Fuck, Javy, you drive me so fucking crazy.” I missed you so fucking much.
“Feeling’s mutual, baby.”
The doors slid open with a pleasant ding. Hangman reluctantly set Coyote down, but kept his hand in Coyote’s free one, pulling him and his suitcase down the hall with him until they came to a stop in front of Hangman’s room. Hangman dug his wallet out of his pocket and fished out his room card, sliding it into the slot. The room was about ten degrees cooler than the hall, but the goosebumps that blossomed up and down Hangman’s arms had nothing to do with that and everything to do with the way Coyote was smirking at him.
“So this is a casa do Jake, huh?”
“I don’t speak French,” Hangman informed him, then immediately wanted to facepalm. “Spanish. Portuguese! I don’t speak Portuguese, shut the fuck up, Machado—”
Coyote burst out laughing. “French?”
“Shut up,” Hangman said, but he was laughing now too. He shed his jacket and boxed Coyote up against the table, unbuttoning Coyote’s shirt as fast as he could. “You know, I didn’t even care,” he punctuated the word with a searing kiss, rolling his hips forward, “about sex at all before we got together. So if anything,” another long kiss, another roll of his hips, and Coyote’s shirt fell to the floor, “this is all on you.”
“You want a letter of apology?”
“Mmhmm. Five paragraphs.” It was hard to keep the conversation going while Coyote pushed him toward the bed, watching Coyote pull his undershirt over his head, but Hangman managed. “Cursive. On good stationary.”
“Noted.” Coyote gave a solemn nod. “Alternatively, I could fuck you.”
“…That works too.” (swimmin’ in the floods (dancing on the clouds below), tg2 fix it fic 4)

wrote out and immediately scrapped some fanfic dialogue, in which Ciel tells Sebastian that he wouldn’t mind being a demon since it seems like demons don’t need to rely on anyone else to survive, because it was giving me s2 war flashbacks
