‘I hope that Macaque kills you.’
name one hero who is happy. // @scumbag-the-hedgehog
out of all the words that could be strewn together to form a sentence, that... wasn't exactly a combination the great sage expected to hear. well, he supposed he shouldn't surprised, it was obvious that the hedgehog would have his bias -- and who could blame him ? after all, there were a lot of people. certainly someone had to be on macaque's side.
but still, wukong found himself laughing at the statement. because... what point would that make now ? even if the other wanted to, there was no way that he could be killed by macaque. he was, literally, unkillable. that was wukong's whole thing.
but still, it made the monkey wonder... what would it be like if the tables were turned on that day ? he certainly wouldn't be standing here. he certainly wouldn't have praises sung or stories told... wukong would just be another jokester who reaped what he sowed. he'd be nothing but a cautionary tale. and everything he worked for would have been for nothing... but perhaps his brothers would still be living, keeping their promises.
and macaque would be safe.
he hated reflecting on these things.
❝ that would be something, wouldn't it ? ❞ he says through an exhale, tone amused. ❝ he would certainly jump at the chance if he could, i'm sure. ❞

just saw someone on tiktok discussing whether or not a character "deserved a redemption arc" and i am losing my mind. we as a society have lost sight of what a redemption arc IS. it doesn't mean a character is rewarded by the narrative. it doesn't mean the other characters forgive them. it only refers to a character acknowledging their mistakes and choosing to better themselves, which any person can do, no matter how terrible. of course there's no shortage of badly executed redemption arcs, and a character who willfully committed countless atrocities having a change of heart after a single conversation about the power of friendship is simply poor writing and unrealistic. not every character who CAN change WILL. but there is zero value in debating whether a character "deserved" to be redeemed. no one in fiction or reality needs to be "worthy" of making better choices. there is no fixed point where a person is "too evil" and therefore forbidden from doing anything differently. it's always worth it to change, and implying otherwise is both a genuinely harmful ideology and bad literary analysis
