Do you guys think wukong talks with the pilgrims origami like they're here with him

I think he would talk about his day and mk and the others maybe complain about macaque and even cry and vent to them about how much he miss them

whatever they are, they're forever. recommended listening: 'your liver is my drum machine, my clavicle your e chord'

[macbethisms]

there's something to be said about how zhu sees both ouyang and ma xiuying as alternative bodies for herself. ouyang as her missing hand, her dog on a leash, who can enact violence for her in a way she personally can't; ma xiuying as someone who can feel emotions for her so she doesn't have to, especially things like compassion that zhu thinks will weigh her down, and then later becoming the body that conceives zhu's heir. ouyang gets all the parts of masculinity zhu doesn't like and ma xiuying gets all the parts of femininity zhu doesn't like. how she outsources these gendered things onto other people who she also views as part of her....

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

Did you kill him?

YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CLIP!!

[imethirdperson]

"I can fix him" "I can make him worse" I can embody the ultimate authoritarian masculinity that he craves to simultaneously surpass and submit to, in order to reflect the contradictions of both our selves in an endless funhouse mirror of enmeshment to justify our continued struggle for meaning inside the rotting corpse of patriarchy

OH DANG. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie confronting the Jade Emperor for the sake of the common people...

Pigsy + Heart & Family

Pigsy: "Those punks with their flash-frozen microwave junk! Convenience can never replace a traditional, home cooked family recipe!" [...]

Pigsy: "Ah, you two don't get it! I've poured my heart into this place! From the pots, to the utensils! Even my grandmother's antique windows!"

(2x04 Sweet N' Sour)

-

Pigsy: "I was gonna put it back! I- I just, you know, you're such an inspiration, and, and when I saw your book, I guess, well you know I guess, I just wanted to leave you with a parting gift. In exchange for the ring!" [. . .]

Chang'e: "Tonight, we have a very special guest, who is sharing with us a noodle recipe that is very close to his heart."

(3x07 Cooking with Chang'e)

-

Pigsy: "Oh Tang! I'm so sorry I was about to cook you! Badly, oh so badly."

(4x04 Pig Napped!)

-

Pigsy: "Ohoho no no no no no, don't go comparing me to that demon. My names just plain ol' Pigsy." [...]

Mei: "I thought Monkey King was your dad!" MK: "He's not my dad! Pigsy's my dad!" Pigsy: "Uh, kid? I'm not exactly your uh..."

(4x05 The Yellow Robbed Demon)

-

Pigsy: "No. No! Just cause we look a certain way, cause our monster ancestors were—well, monsters—none of that matters! I won't let his legacy define mine, and neither should you!"

(4x06 Show Me the Monster)

-

Pigsy: "Doesn't that moron know that we're his family?"

(4x08 The Brotherhood)

-

Pigsy: "Look, if you're here to teach me some magic tricks or whatever, you can just forget about it alright." Subodhi: "Zhu Bajie was a stubborn one too!" Pigsy: "Oh! So you think we're the same just cause we're pigs huh, bet you think I'm just a disgusting little monster too."

Subodhi: "Zhu Bajie had his vices, however, like all the companions, he grew up. He struggled the most, but he worked hard! Not unlike yourself. Although he didn't start out this way, in time, he became a deeply caring and protective creature, and a powerful ally—one of the best in fact. The heart you have in abundance, the power, why you've barely scratched the surface of your potential! And that's saying something."

(4x09 Roast of the Monkie Kids)

Pigsy: "We missed ya, son."
