So I started reading the new "Journey to the West" translation for reference and this bit almost killed me:
Nezha's baby face belied his powers as a warrior; he was extraordinary agile - able to fly, leap and transform at will - and was armed, moreover, with six magic weapons.
"Who's this dumpling?" Monkey asked. "What business do you have with me?"
"Monstrous monkey!" shouted Nezha. "How dare you not recognize me? For I am Prince Nezha, third son of Heavenly King Li. I am here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to capture you."
This made Monkey laugh a good deal. "Does your mother know you're out, little princeykins? How many baby teeth have you lost already? I'll spare you this time for the sake of your adorable chubby cheeks."
I mean no wonder he's so pissed all the time; this also perfectly explains his relationship with Wukong.
Every Lloyd ship is so unhinged it's crazy when you think about it.
I mean, there's this psycho princess who's secretly the leader of a biker gang and also a cult who wants to resurrect his departed father and conquer the city.
A girl who can turn into a giant three-tailed wolf and is on a revenge quest to assassinate the evil emperor who turned her tribe to ice.
The prince of an underwater civilization who had to battle his evil octopus brother for the throne.
An anthropomorphic tiger man who's also the leader of a cult trying to resurrect an ancient evil after his home land had been compromised.
And then there's frickin Brad at the flower shop
Like you can't make this stuff up ðŸ˜
Does anyone know how many times Zane actually "died"? I counted 5, but I feel like there's way more
Plus that one season 1 fake out, but I don't think that counts
Jay: If I had a face like yours, I'd put it on a wall and throw a brick at it.
Cole: If I had a face like YOURS, I'd put it on a brick and throw a wall at it.
What do you think Dojo did after Dashi's passing? With the whole original trio gone and the Shen Gong Wu all presumably hidden and dormant, did Dojo just take up permanent residence at the temple he's still at today and spend a few centuries mourning alone there? Or did Dojo go stay with the Northern Cho-Cho he said he descends from for a while?
I like to think Dojo stayed at the temple to watch over Dashi’s students, the first or one of the first generations of Dragons in training. Even though there were no Shen Gong Wu for them to retrieve, he probably had to fly them from place to place to fight the forces of evil, save villages, and stuff like that. He also had to guard the Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu as stated in the first episode.
But he must have tracked down his dragon relatives and visited them at some point. I mean fifteen thousand years is a long time. However, his closest family is the Xiaolin Monks and his home is the temple. The saddest part is imagining how many generations of Xiaolin Dragons he had watched grow only to have to say goodbye.
Okay, big MLP nerd here, to everyone saying 28 Pranks Later was disproportionate and how their prank traumatized Rainbow Dash, her first prank literally sent Fluttershy into hyperventilation.
And sayings they should have sat her down and have a meaningful conversation, like that's not the first thing they did after the opening credits.
Dash's "harmless" pranks involved intoxicating an old man, breaking a guy's tooth with a brick and potentially killing Big Mac.
And while I admit this one made me laugh, it's still property damage and definitely no way treating your future wife.
While I'm aware not every episode was perfect or every problem had the best solution they could have thought of, there's almost always a process. They usually analyse the situation, then try a bunch of crazy ideas to rule out the bad ones, retrace their steps and if the solution wasn't there all along they come up with a new plan which can be a combination of some of the old ideas or something entirely unexpected.
And while I like RD, sometimes she does actually need to be taught the hard way. She wouldn't listen to reason and people were starting to get hurt. Plus, they sort of had to earn her respect with their prank in order to get her to stop. That's just how Rainbow Dash is. A smaller prank probably wouldn't have gotten her attention and she would have only felt more challenged. They had to best her at her own game.
You might not agree with me, but from what I've seen, and I've been here for a long time, there's usually a logic in MLP.
is it just me or did this happen a lot
(this doesn't have anything to do with punkitt but this doodle style is inspired by her horsecomix so @punkitt-is-here hi)
Okay but why does this actually work so well?

So the topic of a Beauty and the Beast AU came up…
Dashi: We need a plan to beat them.
Chase: Okay, listen up. First, we fill their shoes with wet cat food.
Dashi:
Guan: Wait, is this why my sandals feel extra slippery?
Chase: Judge me all you want. I get results.
