Greatt she went to my aunts house again. If she comes home drunk I'm gonna be pissed.
She really irritates me with this stuff. She literally promised that she would stop drinking and now she goes over there almost every day. And she acts like she hangs out with us all of the time, like she's earned it, but she really doesn't. I thought maybe her being with James would have her doing this stuff less, but I guess not. I hate her going over to my aunts house because all they do is enable her addiction (alcohol, weed, vapes).
I might text her about it but I already know that'll just put her in a bad mood.
Let’s be honest. We all knew they wouldn’t get out right? I thought that and was kind of just sitting there waiting for how they were gonna fail lol?
And then I lost all sympathy for Caine
So lemme get this straight molar boy. You realized that your players hate your adventurers and instead of taking their advice and feelings into account. You let your apparently large ego take control and create a ChatGPT story where they get all they wanted and you thought that would help them like you???? Man I just wanna slap him. Maybe give him braces or something.
Now about Jax. I feel bad for him don’t get me wrong. But a part of me will always be thinking that he deserves it. I guess that’s the point right? He became lonely and near the brink of insanity because in the end he chose this? A part of me wonders if his original goal was to get trapped in the circus. Maybe in the real world there’s a legend that if you put on the headset in that abandoned building you never leave? Idk just thought about that?
Also I found it kind of funny that Caines laugh sounded a lot like Spamton this episode. Like of course he’s imitating a scammer the most this episode lol
Anywho I did like this episode a lot! Really cool visuals and the music was wonderful! Can’t wait for the next one where they grab the guns from episode 6 and shoot Caine down!
I see people trying everything to make it seem like Wukong is a lot worse then he is. I understand you like Macaque, I do too! But the entire point of their relationship is that they’re both in the wrong. The difference is, Wukong got, well, character development. It just feels super annoying to discredit Wukongs hard work in JTTW because of things he did prior.
I’m not saying Wukong is some saint, or an amazing person even while the story is taking place, but he is NOT as bad as some of the people in the LMK fandom make him out to be. I assume it’s because Macaque is the goth shy boy (/hj? /lh), but Macaque literally comes out just to manipulate MK and steal his powers. He’s making the exact same mistakes Wukong did, fighting for power so that he can protect himself. Get stronger. Etc.
Season 4 Special Spoilers:
I don’t think Wukong was ignorant in saying that Macaque doesn’t come to help him. I mean, he got beaten by the Jade Emperor and presumably everyone just left him there and ran off. I’d be pretty mad too. Of course, Macaque was hesitant to begin with, and that’s fair. But he was already there, he could’ve tried. But Macaque has a habit of shying away from fights, only really fighting others to settle a score (S1 E9) or if he has to (LBD arc - both working for and against her, but the S1 E9 relates here, too.) I’m not saying this as an insult, more of an observation. He’s not a coward by any means, a coward would be Peng, who leaves mid-battle in fear of being hurt or losing. Macaque finishes his fights (still knowing when it’s reasonable to retreat), but more often then not prefers to prevent them in the first place. (WHICH IS WHY THE DIVORCE SCENE HITS SO HARD, you know he’s been bottling that up ;v;)
ANYWAY back on topic. I definitely think everything Wukong said there was true. I don’t think he was trying to lie or manipulate Macaque by saying “everything I did was for us”. This is further confirmed when we see him later, tired and completely defeated.
He has nothing to hide here. He’s at his lowest point, stuck in a mountain, tensions high from being abandoned by his sworn brothers, being abandoned by people he held dear. Macaque was trying to be nice, but if I were stuck in a mountain and offered food from someone who left me in such a vulnerable state? I probably wouldn’t take the it either. ALSO. We still have NOT seen these things from Wukongs perspective! Every single time something is revealed from his past, it’s narrated by Tang, Azure, Macaque, etc. Wukong has never (from my memory) spoken about his trials first-hand. This is why I love the guy so much!! What’s going on in his head? How does he feel about these things?
These are such complex characters who have been through so much, so it really bothers me when people look at Sun Wukong and decide to demonise him because of the past which, not only has he moved on from, but we have never even seen his side of the story on. Why did he kill Macaque? Did he kill Macaque? (I’ve seen theories he didn’t, we don’t know rn tho)
Wukong went through a lot of pain to change. Wukong is haunted by his past and in genuine distress over it. You can’t tell me this isn’t a man filled with deep remorse for his actions.
He’s not perfect, but he’s a hell of a lot better. It just really frustrates me that people disregard and discredit the work he put in to get to this point.
THATS IT THATS THE POST
This is really disorganised I’m sorry, I just keep seeing people act like Wukong is the scum of the earth and I honestly just do not get it.
Please don’t send asks about this post, just reblog or comment.
I don’t want to deal with passive aggressive (or just straight up aggressive) people.
As a final note: No, Wukong is not perfect. He’s still a deeply flawed character even with his development. No, Macaque isn’t the scum of the earth. They both have their own problems and they both fucked up. They both did something wrong. That’s the point.
I think I’m making my MC a bit too panickey.... like.... there’s just No Questioning if she likes Dalia, which is by design, but at the same time?? Is it too much??? In your face??? Idk, but we sure will see fellas 🤪
I want to kill myself the same way people in LA say 'we should hang out,' – flirting with the idea without intention.
But Ideation holds strong, my body aches, my ribs displaced with awful heat and weight.
She'll carry the weight of the world including me. But I'm living with a broken heart, all trans blues, only a burden– only a child in adult's clothes.
Wish it was clear, but my brain is muddy water. And the road to government disability is far longer than the I5.
It's a waiting game. Waiting to transition or choose not to, or die. Wishing it was something I didn't have to think about.
