Lego Monkie Kid, Mekakucity Actors AU, Who Would Be Who

Bc I've had this AU plaguing my mind for AGES, and I need to get it out and for it to plague other peoples' minds. Not a Huge Deep Dive, but just a list of who in LMK would be in the role of what Mekaku character. All of these choices are based off vibes, what makes most sense, and what hurts me the most emotionally.

MK, as Kano Shuuya:

Mei, as Tsubomi Kido:

Red Son, as Kousuke Seto(bc making trafficlight trio the og 3 Mekakushi Dan members aligned too perfectly):

Six-Eared Macaque, as Shintaro Kisaragi(bc making Mac a self-loathing, loser hikki-NEET shut-in is funny /affectionate):

Sun Wukong, as Ayano Tateyama(If you know Mekakucity Actors/KagePro in general, you're gonna wanna hit me with bricks for this one lol):

Host Girl/Baihe, as Marry Kozakura(Once again, you're gonna want to hit me with bricks for this one lmao):

Lady Bone Demon, as Azami-sama:

Tang, as Kenjirou Tateyama:

Pigsy, as Ayaka Tateyama(Third time you're gonna want to hit me with bricks):

Golden Peng, as Takane Enomoto/Ene:

Azure Lion, as Haruka Kokonose/Konoha(Just go with it, trust me on this):

Aaaaand, I have no clue who to have be in the role of Hibiya and Hiyori in this AU. I could possibly have Nezha be Hibiya, but GOD do i fucking hate the Western side of the fandom's insistence on saying Nezha is eternally 11/12, when that's absolutely wrong. If anyone who's into both LMK and KagePro has any ideas of who could be Hibiya and Hiyori, by all means give me suggestions.

Do you, or anyone actually, know where/when the '-bowl' sufix started being used in Fandom? Because I can't find any kind of origin, and surprisingly Fanlore doesn't have a article about it (as far as I checked maybe I didn't search well?). I just found and know that it's used for kinda old and relatively new fandoms, thanks to a two-year-old Reddit post.

For anyone who doesn't get/know about the '-bowl' sufix: is basically an All × One thing. For example, if you encounter 'Dekubowl' this means that Deku, the character, is shipped with everyone or that at least everyone else have a crush with Deku.

I can only think of the 'Super Bowl' (just as one comment in that Reddit post suggest) for its origin, but when we talk about Fandom culture we never know. It could have originated from anything no-related to the Super Bowl, LOL.

--

Ooh, interesting. I've never heard of this in my life, and I have no idea what a -bowl suffix is supposed to mean, even if I guess it has to do with the super bowl.

It's not surprising Fanlore doesn't have this if it's coming from BNHA or somewhere similar. Fanlore is fantastic on the history of Western "Media Fandom", zines, K/S, etc. It's much weaker in areas that OTW early adopters haven't spent as much time in.

You should write the -bowl article yourself!

--

I went into AO3's tag search and looked for 'bowl'. I found 1311 tags, 90 of them canonicals.

I'm seeing a ton of references to the Super Bowl, dust bowl AUs, pet play with pet food bowls, Dream in the fishbowl, unending uses like "I'm crying into my bowl of cereal as I write this", "bowl of honey nut feelios", "bowl of pornflakes", "me shaking the food bowl of sbi wilbur-centric angst: come get y'all's juice", etc., and plenty of references to YOI katusdon bowls. Lots of fandoms and episodes have 'bowl' in their titles.

Zeroing in on more related things, I'm seeing BNHA over and over and not much else...

EXCEPT!

Fruit bowls!

I see scattered references to "let's add him into that whole fruit bowl" and "the whole fruit bowl is here" and so on. Some of them are crack fic where everyone is a banana, but a lot of them seem to be a metaphor for "everything together".

Okay, I just spent far too much time trying to categorize tags. Out of the 'bowl' ones, about a third appear to be this kind of sense (counting by number of tags, not number of works).

Game of Thrones has a bunch, but they refer (as far as I know) to which characters will hypothetically kill each other and emerge victorious, not to group shipping.

Some tags I found, like 'edelbowl' sounded more like a group ship than an X/everyone. I also found a scattering of tags that were like 'all of them in a bowl together', which is probably related.

But mainly, what I found is that this is from BNHA and it's recent.

The other fandoms where I found it were:

Demon Slayer, Dr. STONE, Naruto, South Park, Fire Emblem, Genshin, HP, Lego Ninjago, My Next Life as a Villainess, She-Ra, Teen Wolf, Tower of God, VLD, A3! (Video Game), Assassination Classroom, Avatar, Batman, Black Clover - Tabata Yuki, Bleach, Blue Lock (Manga), BTS, Bungou Stray Dogs , Dangan Ronpa, Danny Phantom, Detective Conan, Dragon Age, Durarara!!, Fate/Grand Order, How to Train Your Dragon, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Kaiju No. 8 (Manga), LEGO Monkie Kid, Osomatsu-san, Ouran High School Host Club, Percy Jackson, SK8 the Infinity, Soul Eater, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, Tokyo Revengers, Virtual Streamer Animated Characters, Warcraft, Xenoblade Chronicles 2

That's giving me a very distinctive picture of a fan who's probably in their 20s or 30s, mostly like anime and some video games, and is not the type that edits Fanlore.

There's nothing actually old here: it's recent anime and stuff that is still a megafandom, like Naruto.

I'm seeing a scattering of 'dekubowl' from 2017 and then other character tags taking off in like 2019. This is definitely a recent trend in terminology, at least on AO3.

I'm kind of surprised that no one is coming up with time paradox/ alternate universe theories for LMK season 4 like for example: how Mei inherit the samadhi fire when Ao Lie died before they meet Red Boy

Hmmm well anon this isn't relevant to the lego show or the western side of the internet but I did hear that one of the most popular aus in the Chinese Xiyouji fandom was something like a one million monkey kings version where like all of the most popular Sun Wukongs from big budget works hang out together. That's kind of the closest thing I know about in terms of alternate universe theories for Journey to the West & related media. Into the Monkeyverse.

As for Monkie Kid, I'm pretty sure Ao Lie was there when the pilgrims worked to contain Red Boy & the Samadhi fire was broken up into the rings (and of course Sun Wukong ruined everything yet again by goofing off during that whole process which resulted in a 4th ring that got into Ao Lie etc.). I guess you can say if anything the legoverse is the alternate universe where the monkey king does basically nothing except fumble through one L after another hhhhhhhh.....

BEHOLD! Me rambling about an idea I had for a while. Originally was a self indulgent idea for a lego game but thought it be too big. So... an AU, I guess?

Long post so the idea will be under the Keep reading line.

With how long I had this idea, I’m surprised I didn’t write it down sooner.

The concept of this is a mixture of Lego Dimension, Lego Bricktales and Lego Brawls… in terms of plot with the first two. Lego Brawls is just added because of the franchises it has.

The two main protagonists of this game are both Custom Characters, who I will call CC1 and CC2. You can customise their appearance, combat style, personality (CC2’s anyway, not sure about CC1) and their job that they coincidentally had a day off at the same time. The relationship between CC1 and CC2 are that they are best friends since childhood that have a fun/chaotic sibling vibe between them. Oh, and they like the same type of music.

 Now for the plot!

CC1’s grandpa is a scientist and an inventor who may or may not pull some strings to get CC1 and CC2 their day off from work and on the same day. He invites them to his home and asks them if they would like to go explore other Lego worlds out there through this portal he finished making this morning. The two friends agree and go on their adventure.

They go to worlds like Ninjago, Monkie Kid, Hidden Side and more (like Pirates, Nexo Knights and Western).

 Note: This list came from me looking at the list in Lego Brawls, aside from Nexo Knights

The two protagonists are also sent to a city or world where different parts are dedicated to certain theme, like the harbour south of the city is a lego pirate theme. This is also the protagonists’ new home and a place where they can invite new inhabitants to live in this world (AKA; ocs galore). You can also invite canon characters too because why not. You will also have big projects that everyone would put their studs and materials in; projects like a jazz club, a few dojos, a tavern and a huge bathhouse or hotspring.

 The villain? Not exactly sure.

 Things that the CCs can do in their new home: cook, learning how to cook, read in the library, training, relax in the bathhouse/ hotspring, sing at karaoke, eat at a diner or restaurant, and dance during the various festivals held there. That’s all I can think of for now… and drive.

Day/ night cycle and well as seasons. Home World looks very pretty during Christmas and impressively scary during Halloween.

 Actually, I think the two are dropped off in the Home World first as this “assignment” will take a very, very long time and they do need a place to stay.

 That’s all I have on this idea and I feel like making a fanfic out of this.
