And I wanted to write, how can we trust a patriarchal society to diagnose or treat us? next to where I had written, almond butter, two tablespoons. I wanted to write it all out.

One stupid little pet peeve I have with the show is Shane saying he's on a macrobiotic diet, just because that diet specifically makes no sense for a hockey player to be on. And I know that disordered eating doesn't always make sense, but I feel like it's way more in character for Shane to pick a diet that is more tailored to his goals, which would probably be to cut fat and gain muscle (putting aside that most hockey players would not be cutting fat, because I could easily believe that Shane still wants to do that). But the boy still needs protein! Wtf! Like fics always have him eating plain chicken, which like yeah, exactly, he would do that. But a macrobiotic diet wouldn't even allow him to have chicken.

(My truest most beautiful desire is to witness Shane off-season clean bulking, which he crucially hates almost as much if not more than his in-season diet)

yeah I think a true macrobiotic diet is vegan isn’t it? so it’s clearly modified already. idk I guess the intense focus on “clean” eating makes narrative sense for shane, who is like if I can just control and purify my body maybe I can control and purify my soul of feelings or desires! but yeah I agree I think RR could’ve chosen a diet better aligned with his goals.

I do feel like the anorexia-ish way RR sometimes writes him, which I have seen expanded in fic, just doesn’t feel like it would be possible for a pro athlete at his level. what would make more sense to me is for him to be extremely obsessive about calculating his macros or whatever… just getting extremely fixated on his meal ~stats~ and timing when he eats down to the minute and weighing ingredients out on his little counter scale so he can record his nutritional intake with extreme precision and basically like stripping any pleasure or joy out of food. food is only fuel and has to be obsessively and suspiciously monitored, never enjoyed. so idk in a way I could actually see him enjoying the clean bulking part of offseason training because it’s so stats-focused? like it would really turn eating into a purely goal-oriented endeavor and he could track every gain so closely.

I WANNA SEE YOUR GLISTEN HEADCANON AND INFO :3

Hi, thank you for your ask!! Finally got around on making it, hope you like it! :)

Apparently complaining about the portrayal of Shane's disordered eating in canon isn't productive, so I'm writing this instead

Idk seeing Possesed Wukong think about the idea of Wukong STILL in his possesed stage even when Lady Bone Demon is gone. So MK trying his best to help Wukong.

Wukong just basicly a doll that just follow everything MK said because dispite being mindless Wukong still can feel connection with MK...

usually i do requests in order, but i love this idea so much that you have successfully jumped the queue. also you get an entire doodle page about this. no one in this image is having a good time

more thoughts about whatever au this would be cuz this ask has been plaguing me since it was sent:

the s3 finale still happens exactly the same as in canon, but a little piece of LBD sorta got... snagged on her way out. so a little bit after the ending of s3, Wukong gets re-possessed

because Wukong isnt under as much control as before, there are very small things hes able to do. he can cry when hes upset about something (this would probably become a common way for him to communicate distress), he mostly follows MK because the trust he has for him is strong enough that it pushes past the possession, if he pushes himself he can do small actions on his own without prompting, but theyre physically exhausting for him to do, etc

he cant really do a lot without prompting -- MK has to command him to do most things. since the person who holds the power over the possession is gone, the next person who would be able to control Wukong would be the person able to get through to him. of course, that person is MK. hes not really happy about this arrangement.

Wukong throws up most food given to him, except for peaches specifically from FFM (of course) and peach chips. being commanded to eat is basically the same thing as force feeding, and he. does not have good memories surrounding that! trauma responses, gotta love em

like in canon, Wukong is still conscious in there, and is still watching helplessly as his body moves on its own. but at the very least he has enough control to stay with MK, so thats comforting enough for him to not be freaking the fuck out about it

he gets all shaky around Macaque because the last time he was possessed he hurt him really bad. and also for all the other reasons he would be distressed around Macaque.

Macaque is so upset by this, actually, that he fucks off to go find a cure for this... post-possession sickness. and he drags Tang along with him! corporate mandated inkypages team bonding ^_^

i probably have more to add about this at a later date, and honestly i might make more doodles about it. but for now. enjoy the knowledge that you have completely driven me to insanity with this idea, Bow Anon
