PLEASE tell me you guys see the vision

Besides Macaque and Wukong, what other ethnicity HCs did you also have in mind for the other characters from Monkie Kid?

okay so

mk - filipino + chinese

mei - black + chinese + japanese (I know black isn't an ethnicity, but I haven't decided which other country I want her to be from but I know I want her to be blasian)

red son - chinese + indian (fave hc) (for obvious reasons)

ngl that's all I got. the others are just chinese to me by default

gotta be honest I think a REAL juicy dynamic is when someone has a True Love and a Soulmate and they are two different people

[nat-20s]

see this person is the love of my life I would follow them anywhere every day is brighter for having them in it. and THIS bastard shares a soul with me we'll find each other in every universe and understand each other in ways no other living being could. neither of us are particularly thrilled about this

fuck the teenager stereotypes. if adults had to sleep outside of their natural sleep rhythms and deprive themselves of sleep every night and get infantilised yet piled with so much pressure to do well in school and get a job and go to university and a million and one other things all at once and get borderline bullied and laughed at by adults (including teachers) and have their parents constantly hound them about homework and school and housework and have no freedom and no money to exercise what little independence we have and needing our parents' permission for everything important and being treated like an adult when it suits the adults around us and constantly being stereotyped when there is an EPIDEMIC of mental illness among us, you'd be moody and lazy and angry too

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

[tired-lamb]

as an indian, I'd also like to add another pressing issue: the recent OSM system for boards.

for those who don't know, schools in india have students take these major exams in class 10 and class 12 called 'boards' which act as a final exam. boards are nation-wide, and every single student of class 10 and 12 is required to give them, and they're given the same paper, depending on which board your school is under.

now, just this year, class 12 students under the CBSE board had their papers checked by a new system called the on-screen marking (OSM) system. as the name suggests, the papers are scanned and the teachers check the papers of all these students through the scans. the problem? the scans were shitty. some students reported that the scans of papers under their name weren't theirs, but someone else's paper. students reported that their scans were blurry, pages were missing, and some didn't even have a scan. not just that, but the officials incharge of all this refused to explain how things like this happened! heck, even the teachers checking the papers complained about this.

this is the exam students give before entering college. this is the exam that could potentially get them a seat in a college. these are the marks that their future depends upon. and this is how it's going away — by unprofessionalism.

now, as a person from manipur, i'd like to truly emphasise how shitty it was, and still is.

the manipur conflict began in 2023 and still has not been resolved. those displaced families? still displaced. villages, schools and churches have been burnt down and the government did not care for it. mass shootings, killing of people, rape and so much more happened that if I listed all of it here it would be too long. I am lucky enough that my hometown was left unscathed but so many of my manipuri friends had to watch as their villages burnt down and their ancestral homes got wiped away. the conflict was between tribals and non-tribals, and tribals have had the bear the brunt of it. the state of manipur is now divided, and tribals can't even pass through the non-tribal regions because they fear and know that they could be killed.

what's worse is that the only airport of manipur is located in a non-tribal region— leaving us tribals to have to find other ways to just be able to visit home and family. those in northern manipur go from nagaland, while those in the south go from mizoram. the roads to manipur from both those states are not the safest, and in the beginning of the conflict we had to hear so many people dying on the way because of the unsafe roads. think of that— we couldn't even go home without risking our lives.

thank you op for allowing us to add on. please support and help us indians in these times— may justice be served in our country.

Not only that, even the younger classes and teachers are suffering when they made it compulsory to choose at least two native languages in grade 9th which means its mandatory for them to choose Sanskrit.

There is nothing wrong with wanting promoting your own language, but what about the students who opted for French and German in middle school? You cannot expect them to choose Sanskrit in grade 9th with absolutely no base or knowledge on the subject. Not to mention, French and German teachers could lose jobs over this, their livelihood.

This is not as major as the previous two points, but this reflects on the current state of the Indian Education system, which is absolute shit.

Also as someone from Uttar Pradesh, I hope the Manipur conflict gets resolved soon and those who suffered find peace. This also goes for the students who suffered from the NEET scam.

May the the students who died and their families find peace.

(This has been like what, second or third time the NEET paper got leaked? this needs to stop)

[loveridden1999]

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates, covered their faces & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

Hi if you've seen anything about the Indian student protests most of the on the ground reporting is by an independent news organization called PeekTV. They've been facing significant censorship on Instagram, their reporters/co-founders got tear gassed during the protests and they've been subject to many many threats from the incumbent government and their followers. If you're someone who has the means maybe consider donating something to them so they can keep running one of the only media platforms with a spine in this country.

delhi police lathi-charged the protesters with batons and tear gas. five metro stations were shut down to stop people from even reaching the site. mobile internet was cut in parts of central delhi. the stage at jantar mantar was dismantled. sonam wangchuk's wife, gitanjali angmo, was pushed around in the crowd. people on the ground are reporting that doctors who had set up first aid on site were beaten. eyewitnesses say children, minors, were caught in the violence. people are also reporting that stone-filled trucks appeared near the protest site in the middle of the night, before cameras arrived — the kind of "evidence" that gets used to reframe a peaceful protest as a riot. the government is calling it provocation. the protesters are calling it a setup.

the congress president mallikarjun kharge said in parliament: "students have been beaten. the government is attempting to stifle dissent." samajwadi party mp dimple yadav said "today will be remembered as a black day for democracy." even some of the police who carried out the orders apparently looked ashamed. that's how wrong this was.

and through all of it the prime minister has not held a single open press conference in over a decade in power. not one.

what you can do right now:

if you are not going to the protests — and most of us can't — please send an email. right now. it takes two minutes.

[email protected]

[email protected]

demand the resignation of education minister dharmendra pradhan. you don't have to write anything long. "i am writing to demand the resignation of dharmendra pradhan over the NEET paper leak and the violence against peaceful protesters on july 20, 2026" is enough.

if you want to support the people on the ground: volunteers at the protest site need supplies. you can send things through blinkit to the jantar mantar / kerala house area, or get in contact with someone there and coordinate directly. the local gurudwara has been housing and feeding many of the protesters — donations there go directly to people who need it. you can also donate to

sachkhandfoundation4073@icici

who are feeding the students and helping them directly at the protest.

[fuckthisshit-ugh]

tw // state violence, death

students were beaten to death at a peaceful protest in delhi.

let that sit for a second.

they weren't throwing anything. they weren't rioting. they were sitting in the scorching july heat asking for one thing, accountability for a leaked exam that destroyed lakhs of futures. and the government sent in police with batons.

minors were beaten. children. women. civilians.

sonam wangchuk is on day 24 of a hunger strike. our government forcefully detained him in front of everyone.

we are not okay. india is not okay.

racism against indians is at an all time high globally. we get mocked for how we live. britain spent 200 years extracting wealth from india. our own government spent the last decade doing the same thing, we are mocked for the poverty that was built for us by the people who now look down on us for it.

our media won't cover any of this. it was bought. the ruling party owns the narrative and anyone who challenges it gets raided, jailed, or beaten.

they declared themselves gods (literally they did, their faces edited over gods). they are using violence against children to prove it.

i am asking international media to look at india right now.

I am lucky enough that my hometown was left unscathed but so many of my manipuri friends had to watch as their villages burnt down and their ancestral homes got wiped away. the conflict was between tribals and non-tribals, and tribals have had the bear the brunt of it. the state of manipur is now divided, and tribals can't even pass through the non-tribal regions because they fear and know that they could be killed.

what's worse is that the only airport of manipur is located in a non-tribal region— leaving us tribals to have to find other ways to just be able to visit home and family. those in northern manipur go from nagaland, while those in the south go from mizoram. the roads to manipur from both those states are not the safest, and in the beginning of the conflict we had to hear so many people dying on the way because of the unsafe roads. think of that— we couldn't even go home without risking our lives.

thank you op for allowing us to add on. please support and help us indians in these times— may justice be served in our country.
