playing WOW’s Mists of Pandaria has really gotten me in the mood to draw some stuff for my fan-made Xiaolin Showdown sequel working title ‘Xiaolin Reloaded’
you’re playing a dangerous game, my friend.
Omi doing the right thing even though he doesn't want to. It's simultaneously adorable and incredibly relatable.
Omi: We must protect the weak. Even if it’s… JACK SPICER.
monks: <facepalm>
is there even a caption in existence that can make this more relatable
Ever think about the fact that Omi's probably the only person who's ever told Jack Spicer that he sincerely believed in him and openly expressed that he wanted him around?
He almost definitely was!
Omi's pretty unique in complimenting Jack without any qualifiers and doing things like petting him or trying hug him.
And Jack gets so openly flustered for a second after the Showdown confirms that Omi was always sincere in believing him and reaching out to him, he really had no idea how to react.
He definitely seems like he's not used to things like that.
He and Omi seem a little similar in that they self-aggrandize but don't get much affection or recognition from those around them. Which is probably why Omi was able to outright psychoanalyze Jack in a way Omi hasn't done with anyone else in the show (except sort of Chase? But Omi and Chase are constantly, mutually trying to psychoanalyze each other, and they both wear those similarities proudly on their sleeves). Omi's just built up his self-confidence and self-love in the absence of getting any from anyone else for long much better than Jack seems to have managed so far.
Raimundo Pedrosa you have owned my heart for 17 entire years
Hey there. Sorry for bringing up an old post of yours since I was scrolling through tumblr on Chase & Omi mentor/protege relationship stuff. I saw your ask replies on favorite scene of Chase and Omi way back, and I could think for me at least why Chase has something personal against Raimundo. During Saving Omi, Raimundo's breakdown in his fight with Heylin!Omi, crying in both desperation and plea for the other to snap out. This short moment was that pivotal moment in making Heylin!Omi hesitating in dealing the finishing blow to Raimundo. And also, Raimundo rashly yet boldly charged towards Chase when the latter insisted Omi would remain here with him, declaring Omi would come home with them... Somehow seems to angered Chase enough to go into his draconic form to bite him off in half. So, there's still a bit of strong animosity hatred between them for what I've seen.
Hey there! My sincere apologies for taking so long! Life called and life takes priority.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Chase had animosity for Raimundo in particular.
In my own opinion, Raimundo isn't a particularly honorable person. That's not to say he has no honor, of course. I have no doubt he'd die to save his loved ones, and he'd die for what's right if that was the only option left.
But beyond that? I think Rai is a deeply flawed young man, just as all the other Xioalin Dragons are, it's part of what makes them interesting. But his flaws lean him more towards morally grey areas. I think it comes naturally for him to put his own interests first, then his loved ones and then what's right.
Him fighting against those instincts is an interesting character plot.
But I think his flaws are what make him both uninteresting and infuriating to Chase.
Raimundo has talent, he's willing to put in the work, he's underhanded and sneaky and a liar and a hypocrite. And he is consistently favored over Omi.
Omi has his own flaws which I won't get into for this post, but he's also a genuinely honorable person. He has a strong work ethic, he is talented and works hard to level his raw talent into unparalleled skill. His loyalty is unquestionable, unlike Raimundo.
And it extends to Raimundo. Even as Raimundo is favored over Omi, unfairly so. (I include the other monks in this as well, because they're all given more priority by Fung than Omi is.)
Omi is neglected and overlooked and passed over by the very people who raised him. Who should care for him more than anything. They put Rai in the spotlight, consistently downplaying Omi and lifting up Rai.
And yet, it's Rai who makes Omi hesitate. It's Rai Omi looks up to the most even as they're rivals. It's Rai that Omi gives his loyalty to, even when not following Rai might actually be better for Omi.
I think that there is a dynamic between Rai and Omi that Chase probably finds very bitter to witness.
So yeah no, I would agree. I think Chase would blatantly be pleased with Raimundo's death, and maybe he even hates Rai as well.
“Okay I’m try doing experimental art and more meaningful fanart” *farts out a meme* … close enough
So I just finished xiaolin showdown: I wanna talk about it. Spoilers.
I really liked the show! I knew I would thanks to childhood memories of it but I think it holds up alright even today! Imma break it down in what I Did like and what I Didn't like (I think Imma make a different post talking about the Wu). This is longer than I thought it would be. I'm sorry.
What I liked
The Wu themselves, love me magic shit even if they get repetitive at times(fr there are like 4 that just give the power to fly).
I fucking love Jack Spicer and Clay Bailey. They are my boys do you hear me! Love how Jack just won't quit and how Clay is just so painfully Texas. My bois
Love the magic in general! How all die of the main characters get to master their element and get special weapons and gear to help. Wish there was more time to flush all of it out tho ,but hey what can you do(other than post head canons).
Dojo Kanojo Cho
Just his name is fucking amazing, and I did like some of his jokes
And his powers were cool! I wish we could have seen the limits of his shapeshifting powers.
I did like wuya and wish we could have seen her do more witchy things.
Chase Young was also very cool.
I also like panda bubba's design and I kinda wish there was more of him. I wanna do things to him DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
I already said this BUT I just love how all of them got individual weapons that I don't think were Shen Gong Wu? I think.
Master fung and dojo... Had a very odd relationship. I'm 90% sure they were at least fucking by how dojo acted when he went to a different temple and after that it was just very. Weird.nit Bad weird but still.
Wish we could have seen more of their families. kimono's dad was fucking adorable. I want to fuck her dad
Also Love le mime!!! I also wanna fuck him, I am not taking. criticism at this time
I also liked Jermaine and wish he could have been able to join fully or show up more.
Over all love this show.
What I didn't like
How they treated Jack. Idk man I just thought it was weird how the heros tournamented him so much? Like ya he's a ass but like, y'all are the heros why are you acting borderline worse than him???
I also kinda wish he could have officially joined the xiaolin side, I feel like they alluded to him switching multiple times but then he never does and I think that was a waste.
LET JACK BE THE DRAGON OF METAL.
LET JACK MAKE THEM AN AWESOME DEFENSE SYSTEM.
LET JACK DO A FAKE OUT WHERE HE PRETENDED TO GO BAD AND THEN FUCK THE BADDIES UP WITH SABOTAGE.
Idk dude he deserved betted
Also didn't like how he started out at Least semi competent but then just became a pathetic joke? And not even fuc pathetic. He's not a wet dog he's just pathetic.
I wish we could have seen Raimundo's family if not just a sibling or his parents, just something.
Fuck Clay's dad. Not in a hot way. I hate him.
Omi had such an ego. Like dude, please stop.
I really wish we could have seen more of Fung and Omi's relationship. I kinda wish it was more father and son rather than teacher and student since it seems like Omi lived there his entire life.
I also wish we saw more of Fung being badass. I feel there was a lack of that.
I'll say it again, there are a bunch of shen gong wu that kinda just repeat? And some Wu that don't seem like they should be categorize as Wu? Idk I'll make a different post about it bc there a lot to say.
Le mime was cool and I want to know more about him.
I want to know more about almost everyone honestly.
Give Me Their Backstories. Please
This is all I can think of ATM. I'll add more later probably.
Thank you if you made it down here. Let me know what's your fav and least fav about xs.
it’s either clay or raimundo tbh

I had an itch to scratch
Twitter / Patreon/ Instagram
The teaser poster for my fic is here! I hope you have fun finding the details I put in.
Original introduction post on @xiaolin-revival
And new info:
"Despite their latest triumph against evil and finally getting a leader elected, things are uncertain as ever for the Xiaolin Dragons.
Despite the time paradox self-repairing, Omi's meddling in the timelines still had consequences in the form of everyone gaining bits and pieces of timelines that never were or could be. The question is, how do these pieces fit together in this timeline, and whose downfall will it be?
The Dragon of Wood may be the key, but to what? With all the things evil hides in darkness, it is unclear.
Jack Spicer is having second thoughts about his goals after seeing the timelines he did. Now the question remains, where does he belong in the conflict, and is leaving in this crucial moment just what one side needs to win?"
lego showdown?...
HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY, XIAOLIN!!!
Did a whole piece and a doodle to celebrate!! This show means so much to me, so I want to go all out for it!!
Here is an alternate version of the doodle I did, I'm not really fond of it 💀 I wanted to include as much as many characters as I could but, I was rushing 😭 Hope you all like it tho :')
Yes, I know how you feel I think that writing is easier than drawing
It is true that I am not a good art, but I am still learning to draw
I didn't give up True, the drawing was not like the picture I imagined in my head But that didn't stop me
I keep training Until I became excellent at drawing
Maybe you Almost like me.
You know like: Speed things up You want me to be better now So you can show everyone your drawing ideas But every time you draw.
You are not satisfied with your drawing
I feel like I need a drawing teacher Or someone who helped me learn how to draw
so I watch YouTube videos about drawing and art.
Here are two good books
It may help you a lot
Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One
Life-Changing Magic : A Journal Spark Joy Every Day
I read these two books and they were great and helped me a lot
I hope my advice helped you
Hope you have a good week

“its easier to get good at writing than it is drawing”
“anyone can write something readable, but it takes TRUE talent to draw something good”
Over here, you can see our four kid spies with four young xiaolin warriors from Western animation. This was done on Moldiv; I don’t own these images.
