Maybe chase just doesn't like bean, but bean really hates chase.(／_＼)

This is 红豆圆子桂花粥 It is very suitable for drinking this in winter....

sh-sh-showdown!!!

[aspureasamelody]

the fuck kinda dungeon is this

Wuya was forced into a custom Jack-branded cheerleader uniform (with shoes??? how), and has her wrists and ankles bound in chains to keep her suspended over a pool of lava

Hannibal is on display in a custom, too-small humiliation cage labeled "Musical Fruit", and it looks like he's gained weight as if force-fed

Chase is suspended by his hands and feet in this huge metal blood-stained contraption, undergoing water drip torture and being painted with... something. (Those aren't even his own underpants, Chase wears custom spiked briefs, he was forced into those too)

....despite the geneva convention violentions going on in here, all three of them seem remarkable to be holding up okay, mentally. They look more annoyed than anything. Even had the wherewithal to smile when Omi reappeared. Guess it takes much more than this to break an ancient evil immortal's spirit.

口喧しい

A little present for @wei-smiler! I really like her interpretation of Hannibal!

[reachablefire]

I had a thought

[helipackjack]

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?"

Jack, be an obedient boy

Enjoy some cute dragons for Lunar New Year! 🐉🎆 (this was mostly an excuse to draw the idea I had for Lao Mang Lone soup Omi)

And uh…enjoy an angsty story to go with the drawing??? I’m sorry

Under the cut (and also posted here on Ao3)

“What have you done?”

“Come now, what’s with that face?” Hannibal laughed. In his disgusting tendril a child-sized lizard squirmed and thrashed, trying to claw the vine from where it was wrapped tightly around the creature's neck. Chase couldn’t take his eyes off the scene, his own skin rippling in response. “And here I thought I was doing you a favor! Wuya told me all about that convoluted little plan of yours to get this bean sprout on the Heylin side but, well, take it from someone with experience in this kind of thing. Lao Mang Lone really is the easiest way to go.”

“You- I-“ Chase stuttered, for once not knowing what to say. What to do. The tiny lizard snarled, its claws scraping uselessly against the vine, its tail thrashing in agitation. The frills around its head flaring in anger. The thin skin there was torn and bleeding from where the child had clawed himself. Where Omi had clawed himself.

“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue.” Hannibal mocked, his disgusting laugh echoing around Chase’s atrium. “Or, I guess in this case, lizard? Kid’s pretty cute isn’t he?” He added, lifting Omi fully off the ground, his snarls getting cut off as he choked and only thrashed more. Something that was bound to only hurt the child if not break his neck. Chase made an aborted movement forward to help but hesitated as he saw the tendril tighten threateningly. “Vicious to boot. Should have seen the way he tore through that little temple of his when he ate the soup. Almost as impressive as you! For such a small size, the kid really packs a punch!”

How had Hannibal managed to do this? What had he done to trick Omi into drinking the Lao Mang Lone soup? Had he even known what he was doing? Had he agreed to this? Chase couldn’t imagine a world where Omi drank the soup willingly -a memory flashed into his mind. a glass and iron cage. The scent of Lao Mang Lone in the air. Someone had to drink it if they wanted to escape- No. No. Omi wouldn’t have. Not here. Not now. Not like this.

“This is some sick joke.” Chase snarled, managing to wipe the shocked and distraught surprise from his face. His gaze turned to Hannibal’s disgustingly smug one, Chase finally able to pull his eyes away from the little dragon. “This isn’t real.” It couldn’t be real. This was something else. Hannibal had the Moby Morpher. It had to be a trick. “I don’t know what you are trying to pull-“

“Well now!” Hannibal cut him off, bringing his other tendril to his chest in a fake act of offense. “Is that any way to respond to a gift?! If you don’t want him, well, I could always use another pet.”

Chase felt panic shoot through him at those words, remembering his own time under Hannibal. Being trapped in this early, feral, state of the Lao Mang Lone. Being at the mercy of this disgusting bean. A single claw out of place leading to punishments thousands of times worse than the offense.

Chase clenched his jaw. Trick or not, he couldn’t leave Omi to that fate. Chase knew he had already shown his hand in this. Had shown it ages ago to Wuya when he had been too stupidly secure in the idea that he had managed to lock Hannibal away for good. And now, here he was, back again and having worked Chase into a corner with only one way forward.

“A gift implies he is being given to me for free,” Chase acknowledged, his hand’s fisted tight at his sides, trembling with held-back rage. “But I know you, Hannibal. What is the price of this so-called gift.”

He watched as Hannibal’s decrepit smile grew, showing off his broken and rotting teeth. “Well, now that you mention it, I suppose there are a few things I want…”

[some bonus additional context for the art: I imagine this image is a few months after Omi was transformed and in that time Chase ‘visited’ the temple to make sure that what Hannibal told him was true (it was) and stole the reversing mirror from Spicer to make sure Omi wasn’t just transformed via the Moby Morpher and had something done to his mind (the reversing mirror changed nothing) and then proceeded to check everything to make sure that there was no other possible explanation for this and finally, after he could no longer deny that Omi had truly taken the Lao Mang Lone Soup, he gave Omi more of it to help him start to work towards regaining himself and the above is the outcome. A moment of clarity from his little one. Omi’s still not all there. still has no idea who he is or what he is, but for a second he is no longer feral or hungry and Chase gets this small moment before it eventually slips away.]

Please can we talk about this power to animate statues that Wuya apparently has

Snippet from me trying to redesign The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean, which is my number one on the list of "episodes that I want to make way way better"

The biggest difference being that Hannibal is a shapeshifter naturally (moby morpher irrelevant), and much more quietly spooky.

Why is Chase Young alive in the timeline where Jack won?

Why didn't Chase Young die in the timeline Jack came out on top? He doesn't seem to be able to drink his soup... Does he really need it to remain immortal? Did Jack force him to drink it everyday?

Did Chase really need to drink that soup everyday to keep the deal? If he had already sold his soul the first time he drank the soup, then why keep drinking it? Does he need to constantly keep drinking the Lao Mang Lone soup even if he already has no soul? What would happen if he stops drinking it? Would th deal be off? Would he get old and die? Would he not?

This opens the space to speculate that maybe the reason Chase keeps drinking the soup is because of an inability to keep himself from drinking it, and keeps craving more. The soup also must help him from not deviating his mind from the pursue of evil, and keeps him on check- We can see when good!Chase drank the soup, he immediately started attacking the children without any other reason other than for the sake of evil, when a moment ago he would have never done that.

Chase himself told Omi evil isn't something that came naturally to him, he said it's an "acquired taste". It's very possible, as @grasshopperdoingdogpaddle mentioned once in one of their posts (I would link the post but using Tumblr on mobile is already hard enough, but I may edit this to add the link later), that the Soup™ played a big role on keeping Chase on the side of evil when he was with Hannibal.

So, in the timeline where Chase is tortured, he may not have had access to his soup, but it wouldn't affect him on his ability to keep himself from ageing.

And although he may not have the soup to keep himself from distancing from the side of evil in the Jack timeline, we have to consider:

He has been drinking the evil-no-good soup for like a millennia from now, it wouldn't make sense for him to just change his ways. He is probably still very influenced by that thing.

He is trapped on the same place where Hannibal and Wuya are. Although we haven't seen them interact with eachother that time, I think it's safe to assume they do not really get along.

Chase is constantly tortured by Jack, being called a coward and tortured with cold water on his head. Prob doesn't help at all. I think he also has short hair now. Yup. No good.

And most importantly, Omi is not there. The one person Chase cares for more than anything, and is the closest he got to another being as equals in like a thousand years or so, disappeared one day without trace. The single person who avoided the contempt of the beast Chase turned into, and made the other side of him appear at times. We can even argue, considering how pleased Chase was when Omi finally came, he might not have been as evil as before, but without Omi there, he wouldn't really change his perception of things, and keep being evil.

My point is: Kids, don't drink soup.
