currently thinking about the mortality of the lmk gang
Wukong is immortal, he'll eventually outlive all his friends, again. even if they reincarnate, it won't be the same. the world keeps moving, but he's the one constant. is this what he wanted when he sought out immortality?
Macaque has a long lifespan. he might end up gaining immortality with Wukong too, but that just means he'll outlive the others too. he's died once and is scared of it. but he has to watch his friends fall to it one by one.
MK doesn't know what'll happen to him. is he immortal like the other monkeys? is he more mortal? does he even age? at what rate? does he even want to be immortal?
Pigsy, Sandy and Mei might have a longer lifespan, what with the dragon/monster heritage, but they're still mortal. they still age. Pigsy and Sandy are older than the others. sandy's accepted it. pigsy doesn't want to leave his son behind. mei doesn't want to leave her brother behind.
Tang is fully human. he may have inherited the great monk's powers, but he is still fully human, flesh and bone. he's older than MK and Mei, too. he's the only one that has a confirmed lifespan. they all know it'll happen eventually.

I just need to say that as an outside observer who hasn't watched the show but has gone down the buddie rabbit hole more than once as the show has aired.. the scene that always sticks with me at the end of the day is the one where Eddie gets shot. don't get me wrong, there's lots of good stuff about them but that's some elevated gripping emotional angst. The silence as the shot hits. The blood splatter. Them reaching for each other. Even without the investment of having seen the show it's just an unbeatable peak heartwrenching moment. It feels unreal.

I feel like I can never do hobbies by halves lmao. I've been learning how to make whiskey drinks lately and I'm over here like "what if I got one of those really smoky scotches and made myself an old fashioned with thistle honey and exorcism bitters. what if I used the honey to salt the rim with a smoked sea salt. what if I called it the fulton. what if I designed other drinks for my other favorite characters, too, and--"

Man, I know particle accelerators are a relatively common thing to exist, but I still can't get over the fact that they're so fuckin sci-fi in both concept and appearance, and that I've looked at one up close
I don't pretend to understand shit about high end science, but it does fascinate me. Back in highschool on our way back from doing multi-day community service work in bumfuck nowhere Minnesota, we stopped by an out of service mine that partially served as a tour site on how mines used to function, and on much lower levels served as particle acceleration/dark matter testing.
I truly can't describe the emotional journey experienced over the several hours of of getting into an 18th century vibe rickety ass iron elevator with an open front, and descending over two thousand feet beneath the earth past countless yawning maws of vacant mine shafts, having a tour largely in the dark explaining the grueling experience and mortality rate of working the mines, then descending further and walking into a cavern sporting the largest pieces of technology I've ever seen that look like some shit straight out of Star Trek, getting a spiel about dark matter, and then after having my mind blown at 17, traveling back up the terrifying elevator to emerge into a fucking gift shop

this is a very very simplistic way of looking at it but there is something to be said about thinking about character writing the same way you'd treat an argumentative essay
show don't tell is a tired trope of a statement that I don't think everyone understands, and writing a middle school essay where you have to form an argument and defend it I think gets down to the bones of why it works. You're trying to communicate that a character is a certain way, you back that up with their behavior. State, demonstrate, reiterate. Granted, you can also skip stating entirely, state something at the end, sometimes minor things don't need to have this treatment at all/sometimes little guy just Does Shit— like all writing advice there is a great deal of nuance to it— but if you're really struggling with saying things about your characters and not being able to back it up with their dialogue, thought processes, and behavior then I think it's a reasonable framework to use.
