I wanna add that sun isn't what Wukong's surname means so he has a moment of "... that's not what my name means." while Macaque is internally strangling younger him for taking the opportunity for a freaking pun.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ANON 😂😂😂😂

Wukong, very confused still and probably a little concerned: Mac….you do know my surname doesn’t actually mean the sun….right?

Macaque, doing everything in his power not to run away from this conversation: obviously :)

#meanwhile MK is trying to piece together why Mackerel is getting flustered and Mei & Tang just sit back w/ popcorn enraptured #thank you for fueling this even more anon i love you 💕 #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk sun wukong #lmk macaque #lmk six eared macaque #shadowpeach #mac ‘n cheese sure is wishing he could go back in time and stop his past decision fun pun be damned #swk is now left considering if macaroni thought his surname was always literal like his own (six ears) this is so funny to me help #macaque who’s definitely read the entirety of JTTW can’t even come clean bc he never thought this would reach swk 😂 #this is canon to me now #asks #anonymous #anons my beloved 😘

Cursing & other wild things said/done in the Kingdom Hearts 1 manga that weren't in the game.

#it's just wild to me that these characters said some of this stuff #I'm over here reading everything in the character voices & then they start swearing 😂 #I said in my other post I'd make a cursing compilation so here it is lol #kingdom hearts characters are so much fun in the manga #I know 'hell' isn't technically a curse word but in the west it's often considered one & there's no way they'd let them say that in kh1 #back in like 2007 or whatever lmao #please go read the final mix manga; it's such a gem! #donald leaving a lasting impression on sora & teaching him curse words on accident lmao love that #again this could all be a translator error but i find it absolutely hilarious if they curse in manga canon #I feel like Riku will drop an f bomb before Sora does; place your bets! lol I'll be making cursing compilations for the other kh manga too #kingdom hearts #mine #op

ellebeesknees replied to your post "choose violence ask game except its just me complaining about fic tropes..."

☕☕☕.

ooooh three bitchy opinions 👀 okay so, not really a trope but:

authors who are snide towards canon

this one is kinda hard for me to describe, but you know those fics that have a line that Makes A Statement about something in canon and the tone of it is just bitchy? or just any sort of vibe where the author clearly thinks they're Much Better than the actual show writer? sighs.

we've all had that phase in fandom where we hate read/watch something and then bitch about it online but my god am i glad to be over that bullshit. if you don't like it here, you don't have to be here! there's nothing making you stay! I've noticed the trend that if the author's a snide cunt about canon, they're inevitably going to be a snide cunt about some canon thing i do like, and i don't need that in my life. you can disagree with/change canon choices in a way that doesn't automatically put down anyone who does like what canon did, and you can't do that if you're going to be smug and superior about what you do or what you don't like. canon is a sandbox and if you're not here to have fun, please go to a different sandbox where you will have fun, it'll be much nicer for everyone.

spite fic

similarly: i have negative patience for spite fic. what's the fucking point of spite fic? if you only participate in spaces you don't like, you're never going to find the stuff you like or convince anyone in those spaces to change their minds, you're just going to piss everyone off as you trample on their toes. i'm a little steamed thinking about this because of the debacle of people trying to start fights in tags, but overall its just so childish and exhausting. again: why are you here if you aren't having fun!!

like i said above, there's a way to...hmm, dance? with stuff you don't like that still comes from a place of love. like, personally! i do not like Macau & Chay friendship! which is a different post, but fandom largely likes to smash the two of them together for some reason and i Don't Get It. so i avoid that tag, but i wrote interior design with the sort of playfully-antagonistic dynamic i would love to see more of between them. but like, my point was "hey, has anyone considered how funny this would be" and never at any point "the other way people write them is WRONG." because it isn't wrong, it's just not my cup of tea. i'm rambling, but tl;dr- anything tagged with "spite fic" or is spite fic in vibes has me rolling my eyes and scrolling by, no thanks.

fix-it fic

okay so like. i don't automatically click out of anything with this tag, but i'm very leery towards it. my joy in fandom is exploring all the "what-ifs" of canon and canon-divergence is such a fun playground, but i've gotten...really, really frustrated with the fix-it fic tag over the past few years. a lot of fix-its revolve around "what if x choice never happened" scenarios and very often the answer to that is "this significantly more boring y result happened instead" and meh. generally, i find it more interesting to work with things that happened in canon than to just banish them, so anything starting with the premise of just erasing something is a hard sell for me.

for example! after kinnporsche ep4 dropped and the spurt of ~fix-it~ fic that dropped so that either kp didnt fuck or it was fully consensual or whatever. it just...missed the entire point of why it was narratively important, or stripped Porsche of the agency he did have during that scene, or missed the point of how Kinn can't ignore the power imbalance between them. i'm not going to ramble more on the meta about it here, but it felt like a bunch of people clutching their pearls and more anxious about making some fictional guys ~unproblematic~ instead of digging into the story the writers were trying to tell. plus, KinnPorsche as a ship minus the power imbalance or the tension of their circumstances is a much more boring story to me, so my inclination is to just scroll by anything wanting to avoid it.

another example of fix-it fic i hated was after good omens s2 came out, a bunch of people rushed to write ~fix-it fic~ where Aziraphale didn't go to heaven or it turned out ~he was drugged all along~ or anything that didn't have Aziraphale and Crowley splitting at the end. even a lot of the literal story metas dropping at the time were theories on how Aziraphale wasn't actually leaving Crowley or he was literally being brainwashed/drugged into it somehow, and it was just like. hmm. the s2 end was the natural build-up of the story (all???? of s2 was them miscommunicating or trying to find their new purposes in the world???) (also: in all trilogies, the 2nd story ends on a cliffhanger, that's How You Write Trilogies) and like. blah, idk, i get how the natural instinct is to want some comfort food after the bombshell, but the good omens tag (on AO3 and even tumblr in many ways) was impossible for me post s2 because i was really excited about their divorce and all the ways to dig into that split, but everywhere i turned was about turning the wheel back to erase it. bleh.

anyways, overall, nothing wrong with fix-it fic, but it's usually easier to just assume anything with that tag is not a story i'm interested in reading.

...reading back and the tl;dr of this post is that i find it more fulfilling to play in a sandbox i like and take all canon choices in good faith to work with lol

[ send a ☕, get a bitchy* fic opinion ]

*personal opinion, I'm not going to be mean

#this wound up being a lot more about vibes than specific tropes oops #but yeah #canon can absolutely make dumbass decisions but i still think you find more interesting stories if you consider the implications or ways to #work with it versus outright banishing it #i care more about the story canon's trying to tell than the story fandom wants it to tell #.........okay now im officially veering into salt territory lol SHUSHING NOW 😂 #i still dont know how to tag these uhh #tea asks #???

Rita found it easier to befriend Pokémon than other kids their age. Even before they started their journey, they already had a few asking to go with them. They just haven't exactly warmed up to some that constantly followed them around Gokkan.

That, they'd have to blame on the stories the village elder always told the kids.

#because spoopy season #I figured if Chikyuu was a region in the Pokeverse #Gokkan would be up in the snowy mountains and have a ton of ghost types roaming around #I'm surprised I've never seen anyone give Rita a Chandelure yet given the torches in Gokkan #Rowlet is bc if Rita had to have a Starter and Decidueye is Grass/Ghost and is also an archer so it fits #Snover bc yeti Snom bc ice moth and it's just a cute lil guy #I think if Rita would be great as an Ice/Ghost Trainer tho. Too bad they're canonically afraid of ghosts and dark places #ironic because Gokkan is dark af and most likely prone to blackouts considering its climate😂 #kingohger #king ohger #ohsama sentai kingohger #rita kaniska #rita kanisuka #kingoh doodles #pokemon #rowlet #snover #snom #gastly #lampent #dreepy

always be ready to humble yourself. saw a post of a ship I personally dislike & thought “ugh they don’t even interact outside of a few combat scenes just why” & instantly had to remind myself what I ship & calm down

#Hshshshdhs #like rose girly. girl. bestie. that criticism will not hold up in court #we all gotta remember this stuff is subjective #for the record the ship I don’t like that I saw was azula x Aang (bleck. to me personally ) #but considering my favorite azula ships are katara Jet or Zuko. I do need to humble myself 😂 #Zuko is definitely the most canon compliant & yet still the most controversial ship I have for azula #but u know I have my reasons for all my ships lmao #I’m sure azulaangs have their reasons #we’re just all being silly #making our blorbos kiss like Barbie’s at a deranged slumber party etc lol #the POINT is always remember it’s never that serious 😜

My list of muse kids would be pretty boring because it’s basically just the ship kids I have with Kirei

#The only other ship kids I had were with the other friend I talked about the other day #(which is a shame because I /popped off/ with one of their names but it’s good also because it’s so specific to their circumstances too #so it can’t really be reused) #past that any other canon kids uhhhh just T.hanatos Imani and Arata #oh! Soon-hee’s dead son ☹️ #Minglian if you want to consider their sibling/parental dynamic as one 😂 #:outofcash #ahh I love ship kids

just why did i agree to rewrite bh6

#‘⠀i am satisfied with my care ( ooc ) #i just can't be content with things lmao #i have to keep telling myself that it will be all worth it in the end #but it's so hard making sure everything is well-aligned and that All of the characters are well-rounded in the process #for those that don't know: i consider the bh6 movie as one big au that went wrong. i have an entirely different canon for this blog! #i can't give up and i won't but goddamn i signed myself up for a marathon 😂

oh no big deal I just got picked up by a mouse's Bigby's Hand and launched directly into my girlfriend

#dnd #dragonborn #mousefolk #changeling #this is why i play dnd 😂😂😂😂 #whenever my dm doesnt negate something the players decide i consider it canon #which means monty had a conversation with another character just laying on top of a stuck Aubrey

A small, and not unpleasant, side-effect to how easy it is for me to imagine the Padawan!Anakin flashback to instead be a vision of an idyllic future where Anakin has not fallen and he and Obi-Wan had stayed together as Jedi, is that I crack myself up with how the solution to the entire “falling to the dark side” mess was apparently keeping Anakin a Padawan well into his 40s 😂

#kenobi series spoilers #kenobi series #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #poor guy has it hard okay #(…well significantly easier and better and happier than he has it in canon actually) #still stuck at the kids table all this years later #no wonder he’s a bit disappointed at Obi-Wan still not considering him ready for a knight gig #IT CHECKS OUT THOUGH is all I’m saying 😂

Fun realization of the day: when you realize you've unconsciously based your mental image of a character's movements on the Beast

#animated one ofc #but yeah there was a theater showing i went to & im watching him and having that #'/oh/' moment 😂 #and now im considering the merits of playing up the associations bc they have always been there & like #beauty is a moral imperative re: The Order vs this character becoming more beastly as the story goes on #which is a good thing #anyway something something congrats on being canonically trans and still somehow also intensely trans allegorical #the untitled oc project

Thinking about how all BAT members are related in some way to the theme of death

#jyushi and hitoya for obvious reasons #kuko can see ghosts #I can't believe that's a thing huh #idk how canon kr would consider it though since it was a drama track from the manga 🤔 #cause before that I worried if kr would also add a dead someone to Kuko's life (cough cough mother maybe cough cough) #but since we have that drama track idk anymore lol #if I end up being right about him being adopted istg #anyway this is taking longer than I expected lol it was just shower thoughts 😂 #ramblings #not art

I just feel like RAMBLING rn - I have a hero character who is also a serial killer and he only gets away with it because he exclusively targets villains, since he learned from a young age that in order to get away with murder, it was best to be a hero who targeted villains 😂 (”learned from a young age” subject to change, tl;dr is he figured out that if he WANTED to get away with murder, it was best to be a hero that targeted villains).

BTW I highly doubt this is something the HPSC would ACTUALLY let slide, but it’s a lil unnerving how it essentially makes sense AND sounds like something that is entirely plausible based on how little hero society actually cares about the lives of villains when you look at it surface level.

#Air's antics #he's in STIL but not introduced yet #Scary guy with a lightning based quirk #expl-ding heads is his specialty #😂😂😂 #I also say surface level because literally up until recently #NO ONE in hero society considered that villains also might need help #or deserved help #or deserved to be saved #which is ALSO exactly why Abiteth cannot exist in the canon #Because she firmly believes that villains deserve to be helped #and that they deserve to be saved
