Clone theory
Ok! So this idea was HEAVILY influenced by this post, which is kind outdated BUT THE POINTS ARE FASCINATING!!! So! What caught my attention and how does it still apply? Well for starters, I fully agree with their thoughts on Porty MK; he sounds like a child's view on adulthood.
(From the original post btw-)
They say that Porty's behavior sounds like he grew up with a strict, drill sergeant parent. ... Well, as much as I love Pigsy, I can see him being a strict parent, but that could just be because in the show we see him as both MK's dad AND boss. Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if when Pigsy got mad he'd often limit MK on things, not blowing up at him and not hurting MK but restricting MK. Idk how to describe it. One quote they say, well part of it, fits Pigsy in my opinion, "I am in charge and you will do what I say." Which tell me what you want but Pigsy is definitely a parent who'd say "You can't do it because I told you so! My word is law in this house." I doubt he ever meant anything mean but definitely did not help when MK felt unfair and maybe as a kid got this warped view on adults.
Let's be real, lil MK had moments where he hated Pigsy, that's just how it is with kids and parents, you love them and you hate them sometimes. But I think Pigsy was loving enough to make sure MK knew he cares for him.
Now onto Artist, my boy! Now I do agree with the post on multiple parts of Artist, him conforming and wanting praise and to be perfect, I do have my own thoughts on him. I feel the most like Artist and it's not just because I lose my crap if a hand doesn't look right (but that does help lol) but because I feel that anger and even self hatred if things don't work.
My interpretation of Artist is that, it's possible Pigsy's love of noodles often had a side effect of outbursts when growing up. You dare touch the bowl Pigsy needed and cover it with something, possibly a loud scolding of not touching Pigsy's kitchen. Maybe as a tot MK wanted to help but Pigsy was always working at this time and no one would want toddler noodles served in their bowl, and I can see Pigsy, being stressed, telling that to MK.
That feeling of being unable to help hurts, I'm sure we've all been there. Also that attitude of cooking might've made an impression on MK, Pigsy's noodles need to be perfect. Now while MK's not always a perfectionist at everything, Artist probably is, and OG is also, like any artist, somewhat perfectionistic as we see in season 3 episode 8, Benched.
Like bro- you did not have to do that to Tang-
So coupled with being an artist, having a dad who's a perfectionist with food, leads to possibly an unhinged drive to be better. Oh nearly forgot the praise part! Growing up my mom praised me well, and my dad? He did, sometimes, but I didn't feel the pride. So based on my own experience it's possible MK seeked Pigsy out a lot but he was always busy and he might've went to Tang and Tang might've gotten him the praise he wanted but still didn't add up to what he wanted from Pigsy. So that led to MK wanting to perfect the craft of art, one way or another. Now after years of doing art, his perfectionism died down and also Pigsy I think has gotten better at shown is pride as the two of them grew up. The perfectionism doesn't go away forever, you live with it and you adjust to it. Something MK learned, but Artist hasn't.
Earlier I mentioned self-hatred, which might have something to do with the pain splatters lowkey looking like a replacement for blood.
Sometimes if something is not going to plan, instead of placing it on the time, the craft, or something else, I place that anger onto myself. "I can't draw good." "I'm shit at art." "I need to be better!" "I will to better! And if I don't I can't draw good, and if I can't draw good then I fail at the one thing I like." ... Spiraled a bit but you can see how it can go from "Ugh! This hand isn't working" to "I am failing myself" which, I can see Artist MK having that but a bit worse because that is literally why he was made, to draw, to help Sandy paint. If he fails at being good at that then he fails at his ENTIRE purpose for existing.
Anyways, that's my thoughts for Artist lol- Clearly he's my favorite lol
Now Delivery. Reading it over again, I feel like we have a similar thought but different paths to get there.
I feel like with Pigsy's growing order pile, Delivery messed up (think like focus episode) then panicked. I see the clones as slightly based on MK's friends, with Porty as Mei, Artist as Pigsy, and Delivery as Tang. Why Tang? Well who do we see eat the most? Tang. Who's nervous and would 100% stress eat noodles? Tang. I feel like they did Delivery dirty but oh well. So I feel like it's a representation of MK's need to help the shop but he has one meltdown and he gets too stressed. Which explains the focus episode, and the fact it's not ADHD focus (because Wukong's advice is NOT compatible with ADHD), but anxiety and panicking focus. "Take in everything then focus on what you want to do", and the moment MK was surrounded by vines is a great visual to what it's like to nearly not be able to breath and have an attack (either panic or anxiety attack I can't recall). Overall, this clone could show the other side of Artist, the need to be perfect and the anxiety/expectations of being perfect. Artist is like the drive, and Delivery is the emotions that go with it.
Also on top of possible undiagnosed ADHD for MK, the reason why Delivery fights against Pigsy is to get regulated again so he can calm down enough to do his job again. I know I fight back to have my own time and way of calming down and I would fight anyone who'd try to take that away from me.
Overall, I do agree with the bit at the end here.
And it has been shown time and time again, MK values his friends, his family. In the past it was to hold on and never let go, and when they fly off he breaks down. Now, he's at a point where he feels like he needs to push them away, a full 180 turn.
To me it's accurate to how mental health fucks you over. I've been there, I've felt what MK has and so this could be projection but I feel like it has some weight. I had a dark time where I used to make friends with ease and cling to them, but one mistake and one bad person made me turn around and struggle to cling like I did. Now I feel like I either cling or I accidentally push people away. Which isn't a good feeling, because, like MK, I value my friends. I haven't gotten to the point MK did (seek death), but still. When you seek that, those people tend to sell things they once treasured, and I'm sure that can apply to pushing people away, specifically the people you value the most and have the most memories.
ANYWAYS THAT IS AN ANALYSIS FOR ANOTHER TIME- BYE BYE!
Hope ya'll enjoyed my analysis ramblings!
Lmao hey-
Did I ever mention that Bone Demon, AND the Scroll of Memory are gonna be season 2's big bads?
Feel like I've forgotten abt that till now.
Chat did you also know that in the Legendary Au; You have to Sign your Name on the scroll in order to enter it?
And that the Scroll keeps track of History; Not memories.
Meaning if you go inside?
You can see what you Dont Remember. Even if- say..
You were just a Baby?
