#sifu discussion

[cutielatias]

There's something funny and sad about the man going back to the old woman's shop at the end, as if he wanted to say a last goodbye to her and also trying to make her not be worried about him by creating a scenario where his grandfather appears, making it seem that he's fine and that he's now moving with his grandpa and that's why he will no longer appear (i have the impression that after doing all the killing, the man would dissappear a little, not that i think that would happen the whole "killing cycle" bullshit, but probably some gangsters will want to find and mess with him now, so he need to be lowkey).

Is kinda melancholic that the man comes back in the front of the old lady's stall, even though the club is on the left, as if he purposefully took a different route to seem like he was another person and not the young man that was there once.

[celibibratty]

Ngl, would be kinda cool to imagine an idea of lis2 sifu AU, okay, lets think, the main characters I not even need to say who will be, do I?, this yang, his our main characters big brother...sooo It all points to sean(but its kinda weird taking in consideration we also have a "sean" in the game, tho sean doesn't look like neither of them, tho "I tired of this shit"(this a dialogue of this sean(sifu)) is a very sean(lis2 sean) thing to say😒, and the older version of this yang doesn't combine with the older version of sean(that could be him from bb I guess?), It doesn't need to be coherent to the original characters, lets pretend sean being this yang so It makes more sense with Daniel.

the vengeance, like, Daniel would be avenging who? Because in the logic of the game, the main characters are avenging their father's death, so Daniel would be avenging...Esteban?😒(spongebob hawaiian cocktail playing in background), sorry!! I just don't like esteban(I respect him as sean and daniel's father, but I don't care about him), I mean this one kind makes sense, the problem is that I DON'T LIKE ESTEBAN💦(and the visual gets me too, our main characters father is an old man, I mean esteban is an old man too, but our main characters father looks like a grandpa and Esteban looks like "a daddy😩👌"or dilf(I don't like much this word), tho playing the opening again ngl I found the old man kinda good looking, he's an old man of respect, I prefer the old man than Esteban😒)

this fajar, this one is easy, for me super combine to be the gangster/short dude that got fucked up both in bb and lw(cuz I feel this dude have a tension with daniel, the same way our main characters have a tension with this fajar because he is the one that killed them, so they have this fear, but also this hate/rage towards him), actually all the three First bosses could be portrayed by the gang members If you want, the short dude would be this fajar, the big bald dude this sean and the girl could be this kuroki, this one makes sense cuz those are characters I could Cleary see daniel messing with, its just funny cuz they are very random

okay, but if you want some important characters, this fajar for me super combines this dude, this sean unfortunaly idk, this kuroki if you want It could be lyla😒, one of the things that make lyla combine with this kuroki for me, its that both of them combine with the word "bitch", I feeling kinda bad to associate this kuroki with this word 😅but it kinda combines with her, but ofc way more to lyla, ugh, I don't like this girl)

the old lady I mean this jinfeng, tsc, its very obvious who combine to be, lisbeth!, even the way our main characters kill this jinfeng is exactly alike the way Daniel kills lisbeth and I never notice that, I mean I founded similar when I saw it, but its more similar than I thought(i always thought that our main characters killed this jinfeng by choking her, but playing again and again now I see that they actually break/crack her neck, thats what kills her, which exactly what daniel's do when he kills lisbeth, and both deaths/scenes are kinda creppy, our main characters is a cool creppy, daniel's to me its a bad creppy(I have a trauma with this scene/episode 4 in general💦), but I will accept for the sake of coherence😓

(jokes asides, what makes lyla have something in common with this kuroki is that both have some sadness/mental problem(like depression!? idk what this kuroki have, but she has/had something and lisbeth and this jinfeng are both very gredy old ladies)

[discordiansamba]

Shun hears the first rumor in the Caldera marketplace.

The kids who are discussing it are hunched over, talking in hushed whispers. They don't even notice him creeping over to hear them better. Supposedly, they say, there's someone trying to start an underground fighting ring in Cranefish Town. That's nothing new- there's underground fighting rings all over the place.

This one's different though. This one lets any bender fight.

...yeah. He kind of wants in on that.

He lies to Iroh and makes an excuse to visit Cranefish Town- and immediately sets to work ferreting out this underground fighting ring. It's not hard to find it, and it's even less hard to join. The place is packed with earthbenders and firebenders- although there's less waterbenders, they're still there.

Shun has the time of his life.

He suddenly understands why Sifu Toph's eyes have a sparkle in them when she talks about her time in Earth Rumble. He decides he'll be definitely coming back whenever he can get the chance. He makes some friends while he's there, and eventually decides to make a team with them, since that's a thing that's happening now. It consists of himself, a firebender girl named Rie, and a waterbender boy named Nanuk.

(He tries to hide his identity from them. It's apparently a pretty big deal. It does not work. Druk gives it away.

It goes... fine, actually.)

Sifu Toph finds out about it. She wants all the details- and forces her way into become the team's manager. They have no say over the matter. His friends are kind of starstruck to be in the presence of the Toph Beifong, but at least she promises him that she'll cover for him with everyone else if he ever wants to bring his new friends to the Caldera.

He will not be doing that. They will never leave him alone.

They find out anyways. Their enthusiasm somehow doesn't drive his new friends away. Uncle definitely has a few things to say to him when he finds out about the whole 'underground fighting ring' thing. Everyone else just nods to themselves like. Yeah. That makes sense- to which even Iroh has to privately agree.

(or, Shun helps give rise to the sport of pro-bending.)

[ultimateshixiongfuckertournament]

The ethics of shizunfucking is not up for debate. These are fictional characters, not real people.

No character-bashing allowed. Keep discussions civil.

[flameohotwife]

I headcanon that Aang sometimes calls Katara "Sifu Katara" during sex which is how their sparring ends leading to the other kind of sparring (sometimes it's their code for when Aang wants to spend some alone time with Katara away from other people, plus it makes Katara super horny and Aang knows it). Also, I wonder if they had sex on Appa's saddle while they're high up in the air with him because they flew away on the sky bison for privacy reasons.

oooooh, I think he would definitely do this, especially if she's teaching him something new or they're trying something they've never done before. I like the idea of it being code, too. Some friends and I once discussed that Aang might say something about how much he reeeaaalllyyyy wants a fruit pie right then or some other sort of food code for that, but I like the idea of using her title, too. Likewise, even though he doesn't normally like being called "Avatar Aang" ("please, call me Aang"), he would get a certain kind of feeling from Katara calling him Avatar (especially since she probably says it in a teasing voice). I've definitely put the latter in multiple smut fics, hahaha. Both of them are super in tune to each other and like to press each other's buttons when they can get away with it (and sometimes when they shouldn't 😝)

As for the other, I don't think they would ever get it on in Appa's saddle, just out of respect for Aang's animal guide and oldest friend. Appa almost certainly helped them make more than one sneaky getaway for the reasons you stated, but they would probably wait until they landed to do more than just make out or feel each other up. There are always forests in which to build earth tents, or caves to wall themselves off in.

Anyway, thanks for sending your kataang thoughts(/thots), anon!

Games that are about the "zone"

Games that are about the "zone" Been playing a lot of Sifu lately, and I realized I didn't care about the beating the game as much as I did the state of mind I get into when I play it. It's almost meditative and has been very therapeutic for me. Any other games like this that come to mind? Fromsoft games are like this a lot of times, especially Sekiro, but there's still a lot of exploration and (often vague) storytelling going on. Sifu has a story, but it's more of a vehicle for the gameplay, which is not an issue, just different. I feel like it allows me to get into that flow state easier than a lot of games. As I've gotten older, I've steered away from action games in favor of slower paced RPGs and strategy games. I'm realizing I'd like to shake it up with some games that focus more heavily on mastery of skill based combat. Any recommendations or discussions are welcome!

Amazon's latest Secret Level trailer includes Sifu, Mega Man, Spelunky, and a nightmarish Pac-Man

Plus, Arnie and Keanu confirmed. Image credit: Amazon Much of the pre-launch discussion around Amazon’s upcoming video game anthology show Secret Level has been occupied with fact it’ll feature Concord, despite the shooter’s abrupt end; but there’s plenty more to it than that, and Prime Video has now highlighted some of the other games – many radically reimagined – that’ll feature when the show…

[cutielatias]

Putting it here to be registered, I TOLD! It's possible to do this wude without having to do vengeance first, you can already spare the villains in your first playthrough.

Last year I had a bit of small discussion related to that😅, because has a video related to how to do this ending, and in the comments someone said that it was only possible to do this wude ending by doing the vengeance ending first, but no, I said no, because I played the game and I tried to spare first and I managed to do this wude on my first play, in other words, you don't need to do vengeance before to unlock this wude, but the person kept insisting saying that" this site said this and that☝️" but, dude, i bought the game i played the game and tried to spare first and it work, the person only conviced himself when i said that i saw a lot of foreign players saying the same thing (but i don't even know if the person saw my answer);Well now that i had the opportunity to play the game from a new account i tried to do that again, and it work! and now i taking a photo to proof (you can see that the wude clothing is unlocked but not the vengeance one); you can spare without killing before.

[cutielatias]

my likes and dislikes(it will look very similar to yours haha😅, but i gonna write anyway!)

Likes ✅

•i liked the old lady (taking away the swearing part) i like her, she's cute, it's sweet to imagine the idea that our main character be friend a grannie😆 or that has a old woman that cares and worry about them, it's a cute idea to imagine into the game.

•i really liked the kid design, i really really hate our characters kid self on the game, because just don't look like them(especially the woman💢, but even this man), it's weird, i can't seem them on that kid and i also hate that the kid doesn't seem to look chinese/asian for me, idk for me looks too americanize somehow and also...kinda attractive? eugh, it's weird to say like that, but for me the kid self look too "appealing", and i don't like it! but this version, it looks so cute(and normal), and looks like this man.I will adhere this design and imagine into her😤.

•i like the bracelet being from our father, it makes so much sense(how i didn't imagine this before), is sad and cute, is sweet to imagine that our character wear this bracelet cuz it was from their father.

•the fighting/gore, i bet everybody is already praise all of this🙄😅, but it does really well done, so~ deserves the praise, i like the glass bridge scene, it was very brutal🩸... i like it.

•vengeance win!! finally, i really don't like this whole wude/"forgiving" thing. (now this man finally prove his worthy!)

•i liked the ending, i also liked that has nothing on the end that is related to our character becoming a master or something when old(of course not, the eps are very short and this is not the ep premise but still), nowadays i don't like this thing of our character become a sifu like their father, (but it was kinda hard to disassociate this idea on the man, but now, i can kinda see him not becoming a master when older too) i like way more the idea of our character being an old that just rambling around and that nobody knows much about.

Dislikes❌

•the swearings, it was a little too much, and makes the scenes weird, it's odd to see a young man and a grandma being so foul-mouthed on a conversation😅,its feels off (and i also don't feel that our character combine to use that type of language),but idk, i just think this ruined the scenes a little; the scenes looks so much better when you take off the swearings(i feel that the guys put a lot curses to scare off people from thinking that is a teen/kid episode); and i feel that our character curse kinda takes away their badassness(if that make sense), i feel when a character is too foul-mouthed its makes them goofy or unserious; doesn't combine with our character, our characters are gentleman, they don't combine to swear on talk.

•the characterization of the main character young, i...didn't like the way that this man sound when he's young, too much "kenji sato" vibes and i personally don't like that, it makes him sound too playboy...and i don't feel that he's like that(at the least on the game), he sound too playboy,i feel that he's more mature, gentle and mystery actually, funny, that when he gets old(30 till 60) i feel that he seems more similar to what i said, he sound more sweet when he's old(for some reason i always have the feeling that people don't seem to get this man/knows exactly what type of vibe he has when he's young,that can be the reason why i feel that people don't seem to focus/ be much interested on the man when he's on his twenties, i always see people playing/referring to him when he's older(30 or more)but never him young, even though his 20 version is our first impression of him cuz is the version that we mostly play/see during the game; people don't know exactly how this man is when he's young, but it's funny, cuz i feel that he has a way, and is just like him old…but young, he seems tough, mystery,badass, but also…kind?[idk i feel that he seems kind]); probably he's like that cuz of the association that when young we are immature and when he gets more older he start to become more decent and discipline... But i feel that he's already decent

Well, taking away those two things, i liked the ep, i will give a 8,0 too! it was exactly what i thought, it was pretty simple and short, but not bad, it was cool. Poor man, but he will need a salt bath after watching this ep to make me dissociate him with this ken sato vibes; no,for real😑, i really need and will play the game to disassociate him with this playboy energy(its a shame when he's old he seems cool, but i didn't like he young,too playboy).

I watched sifu episode, it was...interesting, like it a bit, I'll give a 8,0, only 8,0 cuz i found a little off the dialogues(I don't imagine our main characters swearing!, idk, it's just weird seeing a sweet lookin old woman and this man swearing that much in a normal conversation)

our main characters don't swear, our main characters are gentleman

YEAH, we were right, it was the father's bracelet, funny, that the episode don't makes you notice that, but yeah, it was

I like that, cuz i know this bracelet has a buddhist and supertitious meaning, and personally i don't see our main characters being a religious and supertitious person, with that makes sense why they use It, it's not because they believe it's because it was from their father,......., cute💧🌸

And me thinking our main characters couldn't be more like daniel (wear a bracelet from a dead loved one)

I-will-adopt-this-kid version!!!!❤️❤️, it's so cuteeee, look like daniel, it's so cute, glad they changed, I want her like that!!!!, at least look like an asian kid now💢

The ending was cute, I feel the old lady recognized him afterward, he asked her if it was worth it in doubt of his own choice(this man being a weakling😒), she grab his hand tighly and respond it, like, "totally", interesting that the old woman caress the hand that has the bracelet as if It's a way of saying "you did for your father and for you, for your peace, don't regret doing something that you wished for so long"

Likes:

•the old woman(I liked the old woman is an interesting thing to imagine in the game, like, it has this old lady in the town that feeds the main characters sometimes, that would make sense how they survived for so long as a child, is just...cute imagine it has one little soul that care about them, and it's an oldie(like their father), a crazy, cute and funny old woman, I like the old woman, found her cute

•the bracelet being something from the father(loved that, i'll totally embrace in the game)

•the new kid version(it just so cute❤️, now i can imagine in peace the main characters as a kid with their father without getting discomforted with that horrible, innaccurate, sexy looking kid version that they put it in the game💢, I love pretty kid characters, but not like that)

•psychopath/gore(loved the psycho vibe, this man kills hard, if you think this man is violent in here, mine woman would be worse than HIM!!!!and I love her for It💕, liked that the gore is a gore that doesn't make me discomforted, it's kinda cool and easy to look at)

•the glass place scene(that segment was very....cool🩸)

•VENGEANCE ENDING/ACCOMPLISHED!! (uhuuu🎇🎆, fuck this yang and his crew, and this lame wude🖕🖕)

Dislikes:

•the swearing (sorry, I can't, it was too much, i don't see them swearing, and this include this man, mine woman wouldn't swear, y'know why mine woman wouldn't swear?,......., because she is emo!🤣, she would be quiet, ha-ha, just kidding, I hate when people call daniel emo, no way call her that too)

•this man young version characterization (too playboy/jerk young Man vibe too me, I don't see him like that, i think he is more manly, mature, gentle and mysterious in the game even as a Young man, right now i'll Go play the game to dissociate, the thing was cool and all, but i don't see this man much...like that,.....,and not even want to, i already despise him a bit in the game🤣, this version just will make me despise him more🤣)

Our handsome lotus-demon boy!

We discussed in dm's how Nezha definitely had obvious demonic traits as a child, and when he was revived; he developed lotus flower features.

The hair-cutting was an amazing idea, since we realised that Li Jing and most of the Celestial Realm likely follow Confuscian values. When the Pagoda King exiles Nezha from heaven as punishment for defying him; he cuts Nezha's hair as a mark that he's literally "cut off" from the family.

So in the TMKATI au, when Wukong finds Nezha; he sees a scared pre-teen demon who's just gone through a tramatic separation from his blood family.

Free son.

And since Nezha is finally being raised as a child, and no longer as a soldier or weapon, he begins to age naturally for the first time in centuries. He grows into a handsome, mechanics-obsessed demon.

As for Chenxiang... his role in the story has changed a little bit. But he still reunites with his sifu in the end.

Ty @crazysaru99 so much fkr this wonderful fanart <3

Nezha in his true form for the au ''The monkey king and the infant''

Little Nezha when he was banished and his true glamour was revealed to a child, @quitealotofsodapop we are talking about how in ancient China families banished their children by cutting their hair, that is why he has it short and has kept it that way to be shitty with his sperm donor (Li Jing)

Adult Nezhawe accidentally turned him into Yunxiang dsahvbask Here Nezha wears makeup as something he inherited from raising monkeys once he became an adult, being a way of saying that he left the celestials behind; another stronger proof is that Nez has a phoenix feather on his wrist; in my headcanon Wukong usually identifies his disciples or children in this way (MK with his bandana and Chenxiang with her hair ribbon)
