#doing it traditionally just doesn't do it for me 😔
Note
ur rlly making me want to watch the original mandarin lmk bc from what u and others have said it seems like the og and the english dub are basically different shows?? which honestly i mean. like. why am i surprised lmao the english dub of pokemon turned onigiri into Jelly Donuts djvvhdj english dubs of anything traditionally speaking are uhh,, not always accurate </3 i'm surprised that u find mk (well, qi xioatian jhfhf sorry i've actually never even heard that name said out loud rip) boring tbh like i'm wondering how different his characterization is in the og?? bc i personally find english dub mk/qi xiaotian very Endearing and funny and i like that he's his Own Person and not a reincarnation like the others (not that they aren't their own ppl but) idk it's like,, he's the Chosen One (overdone trope but. he literally is) not bc of any connection or relation to monkey king but just bc he's a Good Guy?? idk if that makes sense and again that's probably all just Opinion but yeah i need to watch the original bc i didn't even know wukong had a Signature Laugh and now i need to hear it
also i just need to know....are pigsy and tang (sorry i know u don't like the 'pigsy' translation but in my mind lmk Pigsy and Zhu Bajie are like. two totally different people and personalities i can't use them interchangeably yet) as fruity in the mandarin version or is that an english dub thing omg bc regardless of language it IS canon that they share clothes 👀
Oh in the Cantonese dub of LMK, the way SWK chose QXT was funny as hell. I haven't caught up with LMK past season 1 and a bit of 2 but from what I saw of the Mandarin ver, there wasn't much said about why QXT was chosen? But in the Canto dub (which I consider less canon than the Mandarin ver since it'd produced separately and is kinda low quality 😭), Sun Wukong literally saw Qi Xiaotian spying on Red Boy and Iron Fan Princess and was like "Hm. You'll do." AND I'M NOT PARAPHRASING FGDJKSSDK Dude was literally just in the right place at the right time lmao
And idk I think it's just my personal biases winning out against QXT since I built up such An Idea for him in my mind at the very beginning of the show 😔 I think it's cool when the protagonist is Just Some Guy but for some reason Qi Xiaotian doesn't really appeal to me all that much. His name is so fucking good though. Equal to Little Heaven is a god-tier name.
The Mandarin name for the character you're talking about is Head Chef Zhu (and his Zhu 朱 is a different Zhu 猪 than Zhu Bajie) so yeah not interchangeable, and I think the English dub lost the separation between the two because of their dumb localization choices (more on that here). ...............and they what 👁️___👁️ they did not have any sort of vibe from the Mandarin eps I saw

rose quartz— what’s your love language (romantic or platonic)?
Words of affirmation! Affirm me pls xxxxx
watermelon— have you ever had to reject anyone romantically? how did it go?
Yes. A few times. Most recently a friend of mine told me they liked me when I was piss drunk and we'd come back from a party and I didn't handle it terribly well, but the next day she realised she didn't really like me so it didn't matter too much
fuchsia— describe your personality in three words!
Trying My Best 😔
rose— do you believe in soulmates? why or why not?
Not if you mean it in the literal sense of two people being destined for each other by the stars or whatever. I believe sometimes people connect so easily and comfortably and permanently that it FEELS like fate but it's all a big beautiful coincidence really
coral— what’s something you’re passionate about?
The value of art beyond what is traditionally intellectual or valued
carnation— how important are “looks” to you in a relationship?
I mean...I wouldn't want to date someone I wasn't attracted to. That being said, most of the people I've liked have very different appearances, but similar personality traits that draw me to them, so I would say personality is more important than looks to me.
blossom— would you get a tattoo? if so, what would it be of?
No - I don't think I could ever commit to something enough to have it ingrained on my skin forever
salmon— would you prefer a partner who is an introvert or an extrovert? why?
I don't really mind - I think in theory extrovert, so they could do all the social things I'm anxious about, but then my gf is an introvert and it tends to just mean I do those things without thinking anyway. And has the advantage that she doesn't expect us to go out all the time.
