According to your opinion, what do you think would be SWK's best written romance or what would they be as for the adaptations? You know, not only does the romance appear and that's it, but does it develop or at least seem good to you?

Not to say there are bad romances, but I just wanted to ask.

Honestly, it depends on what you think is romantic.

There is a reason that the Chinese Odyssey is such a cult classic and it's not because they get together at the end, but rather because it explores the idea of self-expression and restricted freedom in the view of romance. Sun Wukong cannot exist unless Joker becomes him, and Joker cannot become Sun Wukong if he falls in love. He had the chance to love and he lost it, being forced to change who he is, knowing what he could have had. Chinese Odyssey became so popular because it explores what it means to sacrifice your own individuality and conform to societal expectations while still having slapstick humor.

And I won't lie and say that has also changed my view of romance with Wukong in that I do not think there can be a Retelling of Wukong where he gets with an SO. There can be great Reimangings or Alternative Universes (and there are) but if someone wants a faithful adaption of the story there can be additions such as adding a romantic subplot but in no circumstances can they end up together. And that could still be a good romantic story.

The quality of romance does not have to depend on a happy ending but one that relates to people and touches their hearts. I think the key to any romance is that connection to the audience, showing a level of genuine yearning and the struggle with that yearning that anyone can relate to when it comes to connecting to another person, romance or not.

Personally, I haven't seen a romance story done it better showing that desire for connection like Chinese Odessey since...

But I would say a close runner-up is the 1996 Journey to the West subplot within the show. As I think as far as relating to a character this is one that I found personally touched by.

In the 1996 Journey to the West is also not a one-to-one with the book as it follows more like a drama than an adventure story with deep character elements but still a wonderful adventure. This probably has the best tv live-action versions of the characters with just how in-depth they go with each character and we actively see them have their individual character arcs as they go from quarreling journeymates to a close-knit found family.

On one of these adventures they meet the Spider Sisters, but not all evil as one of the Sisters, Shishi, is trying to find her lost love from her past life. The gang helps her and Wukong RELUCTANTLY helps as well though he is distrustful of demons and sees no point in trying to find lost love. Shishi's sister, Enen, tags along as well and defends her sister's desire to find her lost love when to her, love is the most important thing in the world. But to Wukong he believes that learning Buddhism and teaching is what is most important. The more Enen and Wukong work together the more Enen falls in love with Wukong's compassion, heroism, and diligence, seeing him as someone to be admired and someone she wishes to impress as well.

The reason I adore this love story is that it is one-sided completely and I think that the narration does such a fantastic job of showing how much Wukong loves Enen has a friend and someone he cares about deeply but he just doesn't have romantic feelings for. I thought that the build-up of their relationship was fascinating in that Wukong comes to terms with seeing Enen as a good friend and someone who has changed his worldview that not all demons are after power, some are just living their lives, and just that knowing her platonically has made him a more compassionate person. But that is the issue in that Wukong's love for Enen is purely platonic and how he even refuses to compromise on his morals and lie to her that he feels the same when he loves her only as a friend.

Enen falls for Wukong because he is her friend and someone that she admires as well. She tries to become more like him by giving up meat and eating fruit and even trying to study Buddhism with him. She didn't do these acts because SHE wanted to, but rather so she could be closer to Wukong. But in the end (Enen loses her cultivation from a demon and asks Wukong to at least say 'I love you' before she turns back into her original form) she isn't able to make Wukong feel the same THOUGH NO FAULT OF HER OWN.

In my personal experience, I have felt this many times, when friends try to admit their feelings, and that soul-crushing burden of having to let them down gently. When you care about someone and are willing to support them or fight for them but the one thing you can't do is reciprocate their feelings. Wukong in this series is being hounded by both Bajie and Wujing to at least pretend for Enen's sake (she does uncultivated and returns to spider form but isn't dead) and when Wukong tells her that he does care for her but not in that way he is seen as the bad guy.

Enen did nothing wrong in falling for Wukong, but she wasn't able to accept that he just couldn't feel the same. And Wukong did nothing wrong in not feeling the same as he cares for his friend greatly but he cannot lie to himself or her how he feels because he respects her too much to lie. Bajie and Wujing both call him heartless but moreso that they feel so bad for Enen but Wukong is the one that has to carry the burden of her feelings for the rest of his life.

Some people might not see this as a love story at all but I think this is a type of love story that is very common and that people on both the receiving and the giving end can relate to. That dejection from rejection and opening your heart and thinking maybe if you change, or something is wrong with you, or that you are not good enough. That horrible feeling of guilt for things out of your control and not being able to give someone you deeply care about what they want and then feeling more guilt that there is something wrong with you for not feeling the same. I thought that the show has an advantage over movies as it gives the characters time and room to grow and change around each other. Wukong becomes more sympathetic to demons and even has a deeper understanding of the importance of love just by knowing Enen before she "died" and rather because she lived (and still lives) he still cares about her and wants her to live the best life she can.

Even in her spider form, even when she wouldn't be able to understand him, Wukong refuses to lie to her about his feelings but expresses that he wants her to live a good life, one that leads her to enlightenment and back to her human form. He cares so much about her but just not in the way that she wants. I think there is something very well done in how the show shows that it wasn't either of their faults and that while they can love one another you can't change people. People can only change if they want to change, and you can't force people to feel the same. There are different forms of love and each is important, and just because someone feels a different kind of love doesn't make it any less real.

To me, a love story is about connection and how the audience can feel themselves in the characters. Love can be scary and you're more often going to face rejection than anything but that doesn't mean it is anyone's fault. Sometimes people just don't feel the same, as much as they do care about you, and learning to accept that and let go is a part of growing up. As such I think that my favorite would be the 1996 subplot as I feel that is it both emotional and that it also still follows the Xiyouji format. Especially love Wukong going to the Red String of Fate guy (Yue Lao) and rewriting people's tragic love stories so they can live happily ever after!

I think that maybe I enjoyed this the most as I feel like it still captured Wukong's character wonderfully as someone who might not feel romantic feelings (following the book) but also someone who learns compassion and what it means to love another person. He knew what it was like for someone to love him and that is not something to be taken lightly. People being vulnerable and expressing their desire can be scary and something to be even admired but can still unavoidable cause pain. It wasn't his fault that he didn't like Enen back but he wanted her and even others to find that kind of love. He wants people to feel free to find comfort in connecting with another person even if it isn't himself.

That is to say, there aren't other romances that I did enjoy that are reciprocated love as well! Funny enough the ones that I really enjoy are all Japanese or based on the Saiyuki series.

Alakazam the Great (1960) 西遊記

Monkey Magic (1998) モンキーマジック

The New Legends of Monkey (2018) 新猴王传奇

I think the common factor of these is that Wukong in all these forms becomes a better person just by knowing their SO and take it upon themselves to become a better person, rather than the SO taking it upon themselves trying to 'fix' Wukong, I feel like that is an issue with a lot more modern romances of Wukong in that they are far too rushed, if Wukong does start off as a jerk then there is no real reason the SO should fall for him, and then Wukong doesn't stop being a jerk until the end when there is no proper resolution. It feels all very rushed and very forced.

I think that I enjoyed these versions mostly because they had the advantage of keeping the SO alive and they play on the trope of "changing for your loved ones" rather than "getting character development because of SO's death." We see Wukong in 1960 slowly relearn what it means to be humble and grateful to his SO Rinrin with her undying (literally) devotion and how this dedication leads to him wanting to be a better person deserving to be by her side. Monkey Magic 1998 is a surprising one but one that I found charming nonetheless as Goku is a hotheaded and impulsive person but everything he does is for his friends one being Fenya. They never confirmed their relationship but she is the only one who never treats Goku differently after he becomes the king and even when he demands her to call him as such she never lets him forget his humble roots which by the end he learns to return to. The last New Legends 2018 is also surprising as I really didn't enjoy the plot of this show and found the pacing painful, but that Monkey and Tripitaka's relationship was something that had a lot of potential. From Monkey's arrogant attitude and Tripitaka's deception of her true identity, I thought that the show handled them slowly but surely coming to trust and rely on each other. I feel like the show could do a lot more with their character development but I doubt we are getting a third season.

I will say a guilty pleasure of mine is Monkey King 2014 just cause it is more of an innocent childhood crush kind of feeling than anything else. I'm sad that she still dies but I feel like out of the Wukong romances I have seen (please note I haven't seen them all) I can see why the SO would fall for Wukong as he was nothing but sweet and kind to her and that I was sad to see her go.

I actually curious what kind of being Sun Wukong is. Is he kinda in similar category as Japanese Yokai. I know Japanese Yokai are different entirely but what do you think?

The novel is clear that he is a unique being, one who is “not classified in the ten categories of life, nor contained in the names between Heaven and Earth” (based on Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 3, p. 115). He is one of four spiritual primates and the lone member of his own magic species, the "Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom" (Lingming shihou, 靈明石猴) (based on Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 3, p. 115).

But heaven does consider him a form of monster during his rebellion. He is commonly referred to as a "demon monkey" (yaohou, 妖猴) (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 154, for example).

Religiously speaking, though, I have previously suggested that Sun Wukong is a "Wrathful Destroyer of Obstacles," a neologism for a powerful Buddhist guardian deity from Esoteric Buddhism.

social media preference (dev patel)

Anwar Kharral (Skins UK): Anwar is the only one on this list active on TikTok. He's not an uncomfortable teen anymore - he's being cringe on main and setting trends. I bet he's got 90K followers at least! He uses Threads and Instagram to back up his TikTok, not much else.

Sonny Kapoor (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 1&2): For the benefit of the hotel, Sonny is active on Reels to promote the corporate 'brand'. He likes the chance to be creative, and the 'Board' likes the chance to show off the handsome CEO.

Neal Sampat (Newsroom): Neal is an OG Tumblr user, who joined the site as early as 2008. As demonstrated on the show, Neal is adept at using Twitter to cross-reference and fact-check various sources, I do think he'd be a prolific shitposter on a side account, rivaling our king @dril.

Deon Wilson (Chappie 2015): Deon is self-explanatory. he likes to support the indie social media sites that sprung up in the wake of the Fall of Twitter. He's a fan of SpaceHey because he went to Computer Camp with the engineer who started it (it's based out of Germany), which he's always wanted to visit!

Sheru “Saroo” Bierley (Lion 2016): I find it harder to deny with each passing day that Saroo Brierly isn't an Instagram thot. Look at @brockohurn on IG and tell me that they don't have the same respectful bro energy. I think Saroo likes the chance to use all the photos in his camera roll, and I think the MILFs of Instagram are grateful for the content.

Jay Menha (The Wedding Guest, 2019): The closest Jay gets to social media is the Polaroids he likes to stick up on the wall of your shared room. Sometimes, if he's having a bad time, he likes to sit in his beanbag and look at the wall. He only gets a ghost Facebook account to keep up with relatives- nothing ever is posted, ever.

David Copperfield (The Personal History of David Copperfield, 2020): I think David would do numbers on Medium.com because he can write self-prompted think-pieces that no one ever asked about, AND get paid for them! He's writing analyses of "Jeyton vs Brucas vs Leyton: One Tree Hill", and he's actually making money. It would be magic to him!

Joshua Madika (Modern Love, 2019): Joshua's social media is all on Tinder. He's perfected his profile, and he likes talking to people. It's all genuine and zero malice. Who wants to be alone with their thoughts?

Sir Gawain (The Green Knight, 2021): I once read a post about Edward Cullen texting that read, "just saw a snail . . . effervescent," and I think that's as close as Gawain should get to the internet. It's just like shitposting, but it's all for you.

Dr. ZZ Chatterjee (The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, 2023): ZZ keeps his drama on Facebook. He's definitely showing up in comments to defend someone's mutual friend from accusations of bias when she broke up with her tiny boyfriend because she was having neck problems*. With a doctor on her side, she didn't have to post X-rays of her neck! ZZ will be beefing!

The Kid (Monkey Man, 2024): "Ted, the movie hasn't even come out yet! How can you say The Kid is a Pinterest girlie?" It's all pretty pictures with an indefinite scroll. I also bet he's a big fan of putting things in categories (see also: skittles). We'll see who's right.

*true story circa 2018 on my Facebook page.

Marvel has tapped “Star Trek: Picard” executive producer Terry Matalas to resurrect Vision, the synthezoid played by Paul Bettany, for a new, untitled Disney+ series set for 2026, Variety has learned exclusively. Bettany will return to the role and Matalas will serve as showrunner.

After Vision died at the hands of Thanos in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” he returned twice over in 2021’s “WandaVision,” first as a spectral creation by his beloved, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), through magic powered by grief; then as a rebuilt, nuts-and-bolts android with a ghost white appearance and zero memory of his past life. When the two Visions battled in the “WandaVision” finale, Wanda’s Vision restored the ghost Vision’s memories, then Wanda allowed her Vision to fade from existence. The new show will take place after those events, as ghost Vision presumably explores his new purpose in life.

Marvel brought in Matalas after his work running Season 3 of “Star Trek: Picard” — which brought back the cast of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” to widespread acclaim, garnering Matalas a WGA award nomination for the 2023 series finale — greatly impressed the top brass at the studio. (Marvel chief Kevin Feige, an avowed Trekkie, even recently appeared with Matalas on a two-hour episode of the “Star Trek” podcast “Inglorious Treksperts.

An earlier version of a Vision series had been in development with “WandaVision” creator Jac Schaeffer, but Schaeffer’s attention turned to running a separate “WandaVision” spinoff, “Agatha All Along” with Kathryn Hahn, that is set to premiere in September.

With Matalas coming on board, this will be Marvel’s first new live-action series pickup in almost two years, representing a significant shift in how the company produces television for Disney+. Originally, Marvel adopted a features model, hiring head writers to create predetermined (and, often, already announced) shows, but assigning most leadership responsibilities to the directors and creative executives. Marvel’s head of streaming, television and animation Brad Winderbaum recently told Variety that, starting in 2022, the company began to shift to a more “traditional approach” to TV, with a lengthier development period and a return to hiring writer-producers to oversee the entire production as showrunners. The company is also rebranding its live-action TV output to Marvel Television and reducing the number of shows it makes to roughly two per year, down from as many as four.

Before “Picard,” Matalas was the creator and showrunner for the Syfy series “12 Monkeys” for Universal Cable Productions, which ran for four seasons. He also was the executive producer and showrunner of Season 4 of the CBS reboot of “MacGyver” and he’s written for “Nightflyers,” “Nikita,” “Terra Nova,” and “Star Trek: Enterprise.” He’s also restored multiple “Back to the Future” DeLoreans, which have appeared on “Jay Leno’s Garage,” Super Bowl commercials and the Academy Awards.

Matalas is represented by CAA and Anonymous Content

The Winter Book - Tove Jansson

Book 1/105 in the Currently Reading challenge

I started reading this in 2018. My friend’s daughter told me that was the year she was born, as she sat next to me in the pub reading her own book.

Two jobs ago. A different house. Never heard of COVID and wouldn’t for some time. I hadn’t met the friend whose daughter was born in 2018, who I think of as a long-term friend. My workload was far less intimidating and the cost of living (and the cost of fun) far, far lower so even though my salary must have doubled in that time, I can afford to do less and am often too tired to do it. Back then, most of my reading happened on trains going to see friends or do fun things every weekend. Now, when I visit my parents, I get my Dad to drop me off for a slow train for the reading with train-snacks and train-wine time.

K and I did live in London. I remember the last book I read before we moved to London actually. Instrumental by James Rhodes. I remember this because it was the one and only book I read that year.

The Winter Book is a collection of short stories about winter in Scandinavia - not, I think, collected by the author. I don’t know how autobiographical it is, but it’s often told through a child’s eyes, so the stories have a magical, unreliable narrator. They’re living a cosy, harsh, exciting life. A life of art and beauty and storytelling - stories about storytelling are abundant.

Art and landscape feed her imagination until there’s a palimpsest imaginary world overlaying the shared one. Not a particularly friendly one. Maybe all children have one.

I can’t read Swedish or Finnish, but as far as I can tell, it’s a cracking translation. Her experiences seem strange to me. They have a monkey and nightly spontaneous parties. But who am I to say that all parents didn’t behave like that in Finland 100 years ago? Whether they did or not, everyone seems happy.

I didn’t think there was any great mystery about why I put it down. I often don’t read short story books all in one go. I didn’t this time (I read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries alongside, which I hadn’t known was set in Iceland and was a very interesting juxtaposition). It is an intense book and it seemed to take me much longer to read than most books three times its size. I don’t even remember where I put it down and I’m not sure which bits I was reading or re-reading. What I do know, because I knew my younger self very well, is that I would have been absolutely swept away by it and I feel sorry for her that she got distracted by the new Rivers of London book or whatever because she missed out.

Besides samadhi fire, is it mentioned what other weaknesses Wukong has?

He has been seen to be nearly the perfect fighter but in the face of certain magical items, he has been weakened. And in other, he has been completely overwhelmed.

When it comes to feats that have left him so hurt he was incapacitated it has been done by other different demons.

Yellow Wind Demon - Samadhi Wind has left him blind

Scorpion Demon - her venom left Wukong sick for some time

Honorary mentions! They didn't hurt Wukong but they did stop him without the use of magical items.

Immortal Zhenyuan - able to trap Wukong and party in his sleeves, unable to harm him

Silver Horn Demon King - putting THREE heavenly mountains on top of him to trap him (More information about this feat here by JTTWR https://journeytothewestresearch.com/2018/08/05/1521/)

Hundred Eyed Demon Lord - flashing lights blinding Wukong momentarily

Buddha - Traped him under the Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years

These are the most notable instances that was hurt or that he was left unable to move.

Now there are some magical items that have similar effects as well but these are items that can affect anyone in the same manner and should be noted that they are powerful no matter the wielder.

The Diamond Snare / Golden Jade Ring - used by Laozi to trap Wukong and used by Single Horned Rhino King to steal his staff

The Purple Gold Red Gourd - used by Silver Horn to trap Wukong (escaped through tricking the brothers)

Flask of Yin and Yang Essence - Used by Golden Winged Peng (escaped by using Gaunyin's golden hairs)

Banana Leaf Fan - used by Princess Iron Fan to blow Wukong away, had to use a pill to stay in place

Golden Cymbals - used by Yellow Brow Demon to trap Wukong and needed the aid of constellations to get him to escape

I may be missing a thing or two but honestly, I think that I got them all at least. Wukong isn't easy to stop and there are a LOT of items that were created just for the sake to at least slow him down. But most of these feats either show Wukong's resistance or to show his intelligence in getting out of traps. I do enjoy that a lot of these items show how one has to use cunning and reasoning to get out of, really highlighting Wukong's titles as the Mind Monkey.

[steinwayandhissons]

something im obsessed with about miles’ music (and especially change the show) is the sheer number of references to other songs he makes, including his own - these are the ones i could catch, some may be quite dubiously linked/coincidental but i love discovering all the lyric parallels, please let me know if there are any that ive missed

tell me what you’re feeling (cts 2022)

silverscreen (cdg 2018)

(also science fiction 2018 - arctic monkeys that was released in the same year as coup de grace - i discovered the parallel recently and went insane)

My brown eyed girl, you my brown eyed girl

la five four (b side 2018)

I was out of control, I was here for the roll

out of control (dfwya 2013)

But we'll rock as we roll, rev the engines and go, let's get out of control

la five four (b side 2018)

With your fingertips calling on the back of my spine

rearrange (cott 2011)

Magic from your fingers tingles down my spine

this is most likely not a reference but i like the parallels

the wonder (omb 2023)

Seeping on my wishing list, momentary bliss

momentary bliss - gorillaz (2020)

We could do so much better than this, mausoleum faces and momentary bliss

and of course telling the future

hot n cold - katy perry (2008)

special mention to telepathy (not necessarily a song referenced) (cott 2011)

i love the reference to the little flames <3

Original Description:

A redesign of my Team Wind. At the time I was happy with their design. It was good and more or less what I had in mind at the time. But time went on and I…became a little unhappy with their design. Maybe it was the colors or just my imagination, but either way, I wasn’t happy with their designs anymore. So I went back to the drawing board and remade them!

And I am definitely happy with these versions! They feel much more lively then their old ones did and feel more Sonicesque (at least to me).

Also, no longer just standing around, I wanted them to do something…jumping may not be the most inspired pose, but hey I was listening to Super Sentai opening themes and jumping pose was perfect for me. .........................................................................................................................
