#i guess the concept is still understandable...iguess

[heart-freak]

its late and i am tired..but i feel like talking. okay. being aromantic and asexual is quite odd. th' concept itself is not very out of ordinary, but... the people do insist i can still date. still kiss. still fuck. have a qpr. ist dont want to do any of those things, ever, altho i agree..i coudl. if i wanted.but i dont. however, i dont wish to come off as cold... some may think the fact i dont want to be more than friends, even in a queer platonic way, makes me that way (god, even to aplatonic and afamiliar individuals. or loveless aros. or aroallos. however, im none of those things) but i think i am a very loving person. i love so much.i love my friends always. i say that, i do reciprocate things such as "i love you" , when said to me..usually. saying i love things is something i do often...well,mostly about things...but people too! many "i love my friends," posts. or thoughts. many many "i love my friends" thoughts. sometime i feel as if im not doing good for the people who are allosexual.. or asexuals who are into certain stuff. that existence is okay, tho i am sex repulsed and asexual,so ist dont enjoy it.. but i guess thats the clear dvidier there. i dont hate sex (or romance for that matter) but i just..mm.. disconnect from it. okay. have fun,dont bring me into it. you understand (i hope) and i say you can be like me..and still be such a loving person. or you can allosexual and alloromantic. or alloaro or alloace... ih not disgusting or abusive(i cant fahtom why individuals think these identites are abusive. can everyone earnestly say they wanted a serious relationship with everyone theyve found sexually appealing . or wanted to be in bed with everyone they had a crush on..seriously..) you can be dating someone only half the time..the other half you are a qpr...you know, a milion combinations, i feel, maybe you get the idea by now. also, i wish people would stop treating thes elike mental illness... can you believe it? i don't want a romantic partner...so im mentally ill? i dont want to have sex so i need mental help? do you hear your self. if you truly believe so, that it is mental illness, must you be rude about it? what does this achieve? you are just huritng someone. and..some people are that way because of trauma...so iguess you could say it about that, but, again, meaness doesnt help... besides, must we really fret over someone not wanting to fuck or be in a relationship>? ist not that deep,i think. we will all live through it. individuals like me do not hate people who have sex or smooch and call each other pet names... i certianly dont.. being rejected by an aro person is really not that different from being rejected form a person who's not into you, is it? the aroperosn is also nto into you..do you see what i mean? well. this is a rant now. i think ivbe written enough. goodnight

I wanna talk about S3 so bad, let me ramble about this, Wukong's and MK clothes during this season

‼️Season 3 | Specials spoilers ahead‼️

BC THERE'S SO MUCH DETAIL AND I THINK SOMETHING THEY DID IS INTENTIONALLY A PARALLEL OR SMTHING, but ok, first of all, let me get my things. UhHH, also, this is a very long and messy post so, yeah,

____

Ok, first of all I want to point that in LMK, at least, the clothes and that stuff is important to the series, because they represent what each person means, in addition to aesthetic aspects and to determine personalities and other things.

But there's one set of clothes that I think it was to tell and portray something very important that happened in season 3.

We all know the set of clothes that Wukong wears from the first season, which consists of his red scarf, what appears to be a wooden chestplate and other things, something that is very characteristic of him are his colors, specifically being yellow, red and a type of aquamarine and we all know what happened in the first episode of S3, we know that Wukong was incapacitated, powerless and his clothes were LITERALLY torn apart because of the shield protection being destroyed, and that's why they bring us this a little later

This

After his clothes are literally destroyed he has no choice but to wear his old clothes, the same ones he has worn in his youth, this is when we realize something.

This slight change was more or less intentional, even more so knowing that from the third season everything went downhill. The third season was a huge development process for several characters, especially MK.

Without the staff, without his powers, and with nothing to defend himself and his friends with, MK tries every possible way to follow Wukong's footsteps, literally all of his steps, being unconscious that it is not a good idea to do, at least not in the full literal sense, his way of showing that he still can and is still capable of being useful is to follow the example of Wukong, who despite being incapacitated by getting the samadhi map he still fights.

We see how he literally copies Wukong's jokes and way of acting, which in his own words is to be "impulsive and launch without thinking twice", which takes most of the time to put at risk his life and that of others, as shown in the first episode of S3, throwing himself into the fight against Macaque without considering that he no longer has power and that because he didn't think through his actions, he could have severely hurt his friends who were on the ship.

But after that, the really important thing comes, the first episode was just the beginning, once the adventure starts we see how both MK and Wukong change places in a metaphorical way

In the second episode we see this transition being clearer, seeing how MK now has the colors of Wukong and I don't know if I'm the only one but the first time I saw it, I thought it was funny and strange when they put that magical and significant transition for just a change of clothes but I think that looking more closely, everything was intentional.

And once THIS happens, we realize that from here, MK is being tested.

MK is being tested to prove that he can be the best possible version of himself through his mentor, and without his mentor. The clothes are a metaphor that despite the fact that Wukong does not do anything relevant during the first 8 episodes of the season is still an important part for MK, to remind him of where he came from and who he is successor to.

MK, despite admiring his mentor, he is much better in several aspects than Wukong himself, being more mature, more aware and all this comes to light in S3 once you look closely.

And if you realize, from this change everything makes sense, the colors and the meaning were changed now.

Which leads us to this special quote.

"Sometimes, to find what we've lost we need to begin where we started, look our inner selves"

MK changed to the colors that his mentor has, but now Wukong is the one with the clothes that he once had in his youth.

Throughout the season we see Wukong being more childish than normal, even making jokes in life or death situations, although in the first and second seasons he is aware of everything and even clever in a few situations, in the third season it seems that he does random things until he comes up with a specific plan, without first thinking through what could happen.

In amnesia rules we see in more detail how young Wukong was, the one who was in JTTW, this Wukong seems to have very little awareness about his surroundings and is dedicated to doing acts totally without consideration, the greatest act is when he asks the dwarf where the demon that had Tang was, he literally stays a whole night doing what? listening to the stories they told him, if Tang had no way to defend himself and the scorpion demoness had captured him to eat him, Tang would probably be dead.

Reckless and immature, Wukong doesn't seem to care too much what happens to other people but that's not entirely true.

Wukong understands what a family is, he understands what it is to have friends and people who care about you and your safety, but as they say, time is cause, time is consequence.

Imagine that you are an immortal, who has already lost all his allies and all his friends over time, and has been left alone, 500 years do not fly by and we really do not know how long he has been alone.

But we know that it is enough time not to be able to finish maturing and learn to communicate your needs and problems.

He said that he didn't even plan to live long enough to train someone and even in this episode he says it explicitly, he is aware that he could not teach but nevertheless he tries, in his best possible way.

The metaphor here is that MK matured in the aspects that Wukong could not and Wukong tried to recognize the problems of his past that still tormented him, genuinely recognize that he must learn to speak and above all also listen to others.

They both matured in some way, but Wukong's change was even slower than MK's because he was the one who caused the problems in episode 9 and 10 and it was until the specials when he realized that he should not do any of this alone and without first communicating with others

During the specials, we see a major change as well, how MK is wearing Pigsy's jacket, which could symbolize a meaning like what his family and friends means to him

"As long as I have my friends by my side, this world is perfect"

And that brings us to the last change of clothes MK had.

The old and original jacket, the one that has accompanied him and the symbol of what MK has always been, the successor, the hero, the warrior, the friend, the son, the assistant, everything that is Monkie Kid, not Monkey King, Monkie Kid.

Everything that being MK symbolizes can be established by that little symbol and everything that it represents for him and others to be Monkie Kid, a separate version of what Wukong is or could be.

That's why the change of clothes was so important for this season and it was somewhat intentional.
