I think Kaz’s backstory is so fascinatingly darkly comedic, because any single thing that happened to him could be The Tragic Backstory for literally anyone else.
Mother not in the picture? Already the basis of Jesper and Nina’s trauma.
Father got cut in half with a plow while working the farm that made them money, and left him and his brother orphaned? Holy shit that took a hard left.
Brother and him having to sell their childhood home and move to the big city, only to have to stay in a hotel while his older brother works his tail end off to try and find a job so they can eat? Fuck, alright. Lotta resentment for the system building right there.
SCAMMED BY A GROWN MAN OUT OF THEIR “PIDDLING FORTUNE” AND LEFT TO ROT? HOLY HELL I’D BE ANGRY ALL THE TIME
Then, while out on the STREETS that the Bastard Scammer left them on, with no money and no food and no schooling and no shelter, a plague breaks out. On an island.
Then he gets the plague for days, then his big brother gets it.
THEN his big brother FUCKING DIES while HE gets better!
THEN he and his brother’s CORPSE get dropped on a PILE of corpses in the middle of the harbor.
then, of course, the main show, where he has to use his brother’s body to FLOAT back to land, where he is still homeless and still broke.
THEN BC IT STILL GETS WORSE, once he finally has his life semi-together and he’s working his way up, he does a dumb move on top of a building after robbing a fucking bank btw, and is permanently disabled for his efforts, and constantly in pain.

one of the funniest things about show!wesper is that at first, Wylan is this poor, dirty kid from the barrel, but Jesper doesn't care because he loves him. then Jesper eventually finds out that his boyfriend is actually stupid rich and he accidentally found a sugar daddy

I don't like when people view macaque as weak or helpless like he isn't one of few people that can stand their ground against wukong
but most people picture his fight with wukong in the past it's him being helpless against wukong and wukong killing him with cold blood witch is out of character for both of them in jttw macaque and wukong fought on equal footing
and even without wukong powers macaque still have his unique powers and strengths and he's a talented fighter as much as wukong he's not weak or helpless against him

The sun's light can burn.(LMK)
You admire the sun's light
but
You flew too close to the sun.
Oh, little moth why do you fly so close.
Don't you know?
I'm no one.
Do you view me as the sun?
Do I shine so bright you want to be by that light?
Oh, little moth you have so much passion.
Oh, little moth why do you fly so close.
Don't you know?
To never fly so close.
The sun rose.
You are flying so near.
Don't you see so clearly?
You flew too close to the sun.
Now you are stunned.
You are falling with tethered wings.
With so many feelings.
Now strings are pulling you away from the light.
You are no longer in flight!
Oh, little moth where did you go?
Where everywhere is snow?
No this isn't any glow.
Did the wind blow you away?
Are you now astray?
The darkness is better you say?
You rather stay.
All I say is okay.
(Also if you ever want to use this moth Mac design. Go ahead! Just credit so I can see your awesome art :3)
Oh boy you have no idea how long this idea was just a sketch. With college, markets, and so much family stuff. I just whoop! So happy it done because honestly thinking of making it a print when I release my monkie kid key-chains I got planned for the new year.
This piece honestly is my favorite. I tried to get it before the end of 2023 but finished it on the 2nd. Just the fact I haven't seen many moth Macaque and the idea just taking over my mind.
