I SAW YOUR REQUESTS BEING REOPENED! First Of All, How Are You? Second Of All, If It Isnt Taken. Ill Be

I SAW YOUR REQUESTS BEING REOPENED! First of all, how are you? Second of all, if it isn’t taken. I’ll be going by as 🎲 Anon. 🤭 Otherwise, reading your other works as really made me comforted and gain motivation. I’m truly inspired by your writing. Otherwise, may I request Headcanons or Scenarios of the following characters: Red Son, Mayor, Syntax and Macaque for confessing to their crush?

First of all, I'm well! Thank you for asking!

Second of all, no specific anons are taken other than snake anon, so I dub thee dice anon!

Third, I'm so glad my writing has inspired you!! Pop off!!!

Enjoy ☺️ I may or may not have cried and swooned while I wrote these

Redson, Mayor, Syntax, and Macaque Confession Headcanons!

Redson - it’s so elaborate and dramatic. They most definitely take you out for a meal first, then after that, they drive you to a special place—probably where you two met or something—and they show you this whole setup with flowers, candles, the whole shebang in order to make it all perfect. It’s like straight out of an anime. They tell you that the past few months are some of the best months of their life. That you’ve really been so kind to them, that you’re one of the only people they can truly tolerate for long periods of time and they appreciate you…and would you like to date them?

Mayor - not as elaborate as Redson, but still very romantic. He’s old fashioned in and out, so he probably takes you to dinner and then to the park so you two can see the sunset. Then he’ll take one of your hands and say he wants to tell you something. That he knows he’s not super perfect or anything, but he’s really happy when he’s with you, and he feels genuinely alive when he’s with you. The man’s a zombie, but he’s doing his best for everyone and his city. But he wants to be with you. Do you want to be with him, too?

Syntax - he’s pretty limited in how he would do it. He thinks he’s really only got one chance, since hey, he’s not exactly the perfect boyfriend material. I could see him doing a video and sending it to you so that way he doesn’t have to say anything face to face, since he’s pretty emotionally reserved. He admits to you that he’s really book smart, he can do calculations in his sleep, but love isn’t something he’s well-versed in. And yet, he’s 100% sure it’s what he’s feeling when he’s around you. Give him a call if you…wanna go out, or something…(awkward spider noises)

Macaque - drama king, coming through. This man waits for the perfect chance, and to him, it’s: going out in the rain with you, dancing, getting up to your usual playful banter, and then stopping to catch your breaths. He probably brushes your hair out of your face. Then he tells you that he’s not that much of a people person, that he trusts so slowly these days that he doesn’t feel like he can keep good relationships with a lot of people. But you…you’re so endlessly patient and kind with him. He understands if you don't feel the same, but would you like to give him a chance? Just this once?

mmm... monkey... In honor of my previous version getting 2000 notes, here's a new one with even more Wukongs.

Benched(a mini nonsensical rant that no one asked for!)

Y'know, I was thinking about this earlier and I figured this is the best place to say anything.

One of my favorite episodes of LMK is Benched, and here's why:

The creators of the show had a real opportunity for this episode to be a one on one confrontation between Macaque and Wukong. No, their fight in s1 doesn't count--MK was present for that. However, Benched doesn't allow this to happen a second time: they choose to let Tang have a moment.

I think Tang being the one to talk with Macaque inside the lantern was an excellent choice. There's something to be said about how Macaque talks to Tang specifically as opposed to the others. He chooses to compliment him(in his own way), saying how smart he is and then offering up some advice.

"don't take it personally, Tang. Your buddy Wukong values people by how useful they are to him. Take it from me, as an expert on what happens when you get too close to the king...Look out for number one, because if you don't, no one will."

I find this interesting. When Macaque tells the story of the hero and the warrior in "Shadow Play" he mentions over and over the betrayal of being left behind that the warrior felt. The letdown of feeling like the warrior was on equal grounds with the hero, but then everything had to change because of power, and he is projecting this idea right onto Tang.

But Tang IS smart, he IS wise, even if he seems more like a side character, he does HAVE STRENGTH. He sees through what Macaque is trying to tell him.

Macaque is "alone". He, at this point, has no real allies, no one to save him. LBD doesn't count because she ONLY sees him as disposable.

Tang, on the other hand, knows that even if he "[doesn't] bring [anything] to the table" he is not alone. He, especially in the drawing he has from MK, is surrounded by people who love and care about him. People who would save him, and people he has saved himself(see how he shields Mei from the ice when Macaque shows up to begin the ritual). It is a two way street and he knows this.

In that moment inside the lantern, Tang very well could have chosen to believe Macaque and betray MK and Co. But he didn't because he isn't pessimistic like Macaque is. He FINDS that power he needs to get the ring and get out. Powers of friendship, sure, but also it could be how MK needs the confidence to get his powers--Tang needs reassurance(even from himself) in order to find his own strengths. Multiple times throughout the show, he follows his gut and most of the time he's correct(Spider Queen in s1, following the Golden Cicada in s3) so of course he would be confident in himself and his relationships and use that power.

I just find their interaction along with Tang's character interesting.

And for writers as well!! Tell us what you thought!!!! I love seeing reactions!!!! :D

If you’re new to tumblr and want to help encourage artists, then use the tags as a commentary section.

One of the things I disliked about twitter was the mass “consumption“ of art with little to no feedback, and while not everyone was complacent and still replied to art tweets, I see it happening on tumblr too where people reblog with no tags at all, not even the name of the media itself. How do you even organize or find anything on your blog like that? People transferring their engagement habits from twitter onto tumblr is pretty damaging, because Likes do nothing to help spread creations. Only reblogs.

I assure you, rambling in the tags is a good way to brighten creators’ moods. I enjoy reading stuff and it makes me happy when people tell me what they like about my art or how they feel about the things I draw.

There’s no character limit either, so really, go nuts.

just a reminder though that REQUESTS ARE STILL CLOSED UNTIL I CLEAR THEM ALL OUT. I don't wanna seem mean but I might start deleting stuff if you send it in during the closed period so I don't mix it up with legit prompts from the open period.

You are very much welcome to talk to me and ask me things about the show, about my writing,, and about myself if you feel so inclined. Just no requests please and thank you ☺️

This part is unrelated: I'm going to cap my inbox off at 7 because then I can spread the work out evenly over a week if I need to

Hey everyone! It's been a hot second. I've been a little all over the place for the past few days(travelling to see family and friends) but now that I'm home for good I'm hoping to clear out my drafts and inbox over the next two or three days!

See you all soon!
