Mentioned in a Post a while back about a Jttw/LMK AU I had regarding the "Yellow Robed Demon" Arc when Tripitaka got turned into a tiger.

Book Summary;

Tripitaka manages to escape his capture (for once) and passes on a message to the King of Baoxiang from his daughter, Baihuaxiu, explaining that she was kidnapped and made the forced bride of a demon (ironically making it a magical version of what befell Tripitaka's mother when he was a baby).

Kui Mulang rolls in with a human glamour and goes: "Nu-Uh! I'm but a humble human hunter. THIS guy is a tiger demon who attacked a girl some time ago. I save her and we've been living a simple life for the last 13 years!" (Lie)

So the dude pulls an Uno-Reverse and transforms Tripitaka into a tiger (or in some versions, glamours him into one). The King and his subjects believe this 100% since Tripitaka and the Pilgrims don't look so great without Wukong there to act as PR (he was exiled at the time for the White Bone Spirit incident).

Tripitaka is apparently aching-beautiful no matter his form though;

Wukong even feels kinda bad for his Master, since the transformation is so good that he can't even see through it with Gold Vision. Also imagine a sad giant kitty, that would bum anyone out.

Of course things are resolved by the end of the arc; the gang reunite with their monkey, Ao Lie gets his own badass chapter, the Princess is saved, Bajie kills the couple's two half-demon wolf children, the Yellow Robed Demon is revealed to be Revatī - the Wood Wolf of Legs after Wukong catches the demon commenting on his performance during the Havoc (Wukong has a few Columbo moments in the book like this), and Tripitaka is transformed back into his squishy monk self.

Bonus - Tripitaka as a tiger from a book illustration + the 1999 cartoon.

The book illustration + description suggests he's a rare Pseudo-melanistic "Black Tiger" seen in India, possibly an Indo-Chinese Tiger, or a South China Tiger with a darker back.

So here's where the timeline shifts...

The Wood Wolf of Legs ain't happy to be dragged away from (what he believed to be mutual) his true love on earth + his two kids, so he curses the Tang Monk to not only retain part of the glamour he imposed upon him, but to transform him fully into a carnivorous feline demon. Also as an extra "F-k you!" to the Jade Court he and his past love fled from, since the Queen Mother is a celestial tigress herself.

The Pilgrims freak out, obviously.

Guanyin is called up and is like;

Guanyin: "Well, you did unjustly punish and exile your best bodyguard because you didn't trust his judgement, seeing him only as a murderous beast... so *your* punishment is to deal with the rest of your Journey as one of the very same creatures you see as mindlessly bloodthirsty." Tripitaka, now cursed to stay a catboy: "Dang it." (≽^╥⩊╥^≼)

He still gets to wear the robes and walk upright -think Master Tigress from Kung Fu Panda but as a wimpy, twink-shaped, monk.

Tripitaka aint' having fun. He's a life-long vegetarian who's suddenly an apex hypercarnivore. He tries his best for the longest time to stay on the veggies (and durian weirdly enough since tigers like those), but eventually he will need to chow down on some bleeding protein.

And his team literally consists of the main diet of a tiger...

Wukong, a monkey: "Master isn't looking too good." Zhu Bajie, a pig: "I don't like the way he's been looking at us. I burnt my finger making the campfire and he looked ready to pounce!" Sha Wujing, a fish: "I'm not surprised. Cats are of few beasts that absolutely require meat protein to survive." Ao Lie, currently a horse: "If he goes feral, I vote we sacrifice the pig first." Wujing & Wukong: "Agreed." Zhu Bajie: "HEY!!" (₍•̀ ⚇•́ ₎) Tripitaka, meditating hard: "Perhaps if I eat a watermelon, it would sustain my desire for flesh?"

What worse?

Tripitaka is still considered smoking hot. Now by demon standards too!

The Trio of Lion Camel Ridge prepare to attack the Pilgrims when;

Azure Lion: (*sees that the Great Monk is actually a beautiful tiger.*) Azure Lion, lowering his sword: "Guys, do not mess this up for me." Peng & Yellow Tusk: (*annoyed groans!*)

there was a stunning lack of mk and tang content in the show. unacceptable

Oh, he can put on a good show when pushed, but for some reason he never seems to want to put in the effort. In any case, we'll find him in the spot with the biggest crowd."

I think I've worked out (part of the reason) why there's been such a huge uptick in folks who don't reblog things on here.

This post has like 14k notes right now, and the tags and comments and reblogs are FULL of people who didn't know about fast-reblog, and -- you guys have been slow-reblogging this whole time!?!??!?!?

Manhandling

You know those moments when a character is treated with excessive force but not necessarily with the sole purpose of bringing pain?

Allow me to expand on that:

Shoving the whumpee against the wall with the whumpee’s back to the wall, their arms pinned above their head by a single hand

Shoving the whumpee against the wall with the whumpee’s face and chest against the wall, a hand painfully pulled behind their back (bonus if their nose starts bleeding because of the impact)

Gripping their chin and lifting it to make them look up at the whumper

Grabbing a handful of their hair and forcing their head up to make them look up at the whumper

Grabbing a handful of their hair to drag them somewhere (preferably to a torture room)

Forcing them to kneel by a kick to the knees and a well twisted arm behind their back, maybe even pushing their head down

Throwing them to the floor face up and holding their arms to the sides of their body. The whumper using the weight of their body to keep the whumpee’s legs on the ground

Throwing them to the floor face down with the whumper’s boot pressing on their back, forcing the air out of their lungs

Grabbing them and pulling them close to keep them from running away, putting a hand over their mouth so they can’t scream for help

Making them face the whumper when they’re close, having to breathe in their scent and see their smug victorious smile

Dragging them with hands under their arms, not letting them stand up long enough to kick themselves away

Dragging them by the legs, pulling harder when they grip furniture and door frames to keep themselves from being taken to inevitable doom

Or just picking them up and carrying them bridal style when they’re too delirious/drugged up/weak to fight back

Would TSC recognize Victim from the Animation vs Youtube video?

()Did Chosen get upgraded? Like before he could breathe fire, sure, but hhis pac-man mouth was open. Here, it looks like it comes from his eyes, or nose or something.

Also, like, with Dark - when the bracelet was activated, there are 2 red dots approximately where his eyes would be. It’s just kind of a thought, is all. 

I’m also pretty sure Chosen never uses his lasers, which seems kinda strange. 

I noticed this. Does this mean anything? It doesn’t happen with the other text. Am I thinking too much?

(Try listening to it without looking. It’s like, peaceful, but then explosion lol)

Thigns I noticed

- A bit of a recap at the beginning

-Chosen is definitely running from something/ most likely the rocket group, although that isn’t confirmed it’s pretty likely. 

- We can’t see what the name of the figure is in the beginning/ it’s probably chosen but I thought that was kinda interesting? Like there’s probably enough space to show the name but it wasn’t.

-The first new clip we see is Chosen running away. You would think he’d be able to at least fight back. We also see a geyser-thing erupt.

-TSC grabs a pen and tries to slash at Alan’s cursor. Is this an attack? Teasing? More of a how-dare-you? Is this particularly important?

-Also, he draws outside the canvas. The line extends out. 

-Chosen summons a lot of fire over the lake(tm). It seems the majority of the fight takes place there.

-Person/not a stick-figure, looking more similar to AIM, holding a gun. Dunno what type it is, ithough.

-Why is TSC there in the first place? Visiting Chosen? If so, everyone’s just incredibly unlucky - unless the rocket league planned it.

-There’s another stick figure. It seems different from the drawn ones, because you can’t see through the head/it’s just whitespace. Said figure is trying to shoot TSC. Would the bullet just go through the head? Like how much of the Basketball short was real? Anyways the other stick figure has sunglasses, with a blue magnifying glass over the left eye. Do they even have eyes? They can obviously see, but like real, can-use-for-retinal-scan type pupils?

-Chosen goes back to Alan’s PC. Do the names on either side count for anything? I don’t think so. Just thought it was interesting.

-The teaser is in shorts mode. I can’t use the . and , for looking at individual frames. Maybe Alan thought no one would notice?

-Did the Dark Lord actually die he’s not there

Anyways what are your thinks

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

First AvA idea, hope its worth it

Ever heard of DSMP?

Probably, yes. 

There’s a lot of ideas centered around them, different AUs and what-ifs, and I saw one the other day and had a Thought.

In lore, when Wilbur died, he came back as Ghostbur. After a series of incidents that I’m too lazy to articulate, Wilbur was revived, and was also possibly insane but that’s not the point. 

This idea is from Gumi Yumi’s Villain Bench Trio idea, where they essentially put Ghostbur back inside Wilbur, to “keep an eye on him,” and Wilbur probably isn’t having a good time. 

There was another post (Idk who it is) (nevermind i found it) by Tulip (https://tulipsempai.tumblr.com/ [which is their sideblog]) called “Second Chance,” where Dark was almost dead but struck a deal with Victim to not be dead. 

This is basically that, but neither Dark nor Victim wants this. (1. Tbh, I’m not sure if it should be Dark or someone else like Chosen, but the whole insanity thing is pretty on par. Not exactly, but close. 2. In Gumi Yumi’s AU, I’m pretty sure Ghostbur doesn’t understand the weight of what’s basically possession on Wil. So there’s that. This whole thing depends on how you see Victim, tbh. Maybe he wouldn't've cared because he was stuck in the deletion void for so long.)

If Dark is Wilbur, I would kind of imagine Chosen to take on a Tommy role. Tommy didn’t know Wil’s plan of blowing up, but most definitely would’ve stopped him if he knew. Chosen DID know and tried to stop Dark, even if it weren’t for personal reasons. Alan as Redza? Father figure more of in the sense that he made Dark, and creators are probably seen as gods to most stick figures anyway. 

Two things is first, if Chosen were to propose this plan, Victim and he would’ve had to be made at the same time, making them twinsies. Would Chosen work with Noogai to get his sibling back? Also, does Chosen care less about Dark than he does Vic, or does he think he’s doing the genuine right thing? Second, would TSC agree to this? He probably wouldn’t Wonder how that plays out.

I don’t know how the Fighting Sticks would react to this. On one hand, Dark killed them to death, so why should they care. On the other, this is entirely unethical. I feel as though they would be split amongst themselves.

That’s basically all. 

Oh btw what name should they (Dark and Victim) have?  

true

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts
