#the Blue King

[im-nearly-30]

Have you seen the Asian guy in the Blue Suit and Gold shoes running really fast?

If you're like me you're almost 30 and before you go to bed you lie awake for about 30 to 45 minutes in bed scrolling instagram watching re-uploaded tiktok videos.

I can't remember the first time I came across the 'Vintage King' videos but it was before they even introduced the 'Red Prince' (his brother).

These videos were wild and I would scream anytime I found a new one immediately sharing it with my one friend (and he is actually 30).

If you haven't had the great fortune of stumbling across any of these videos it usually goes like this:

A young man going his way through his life is met with an unfair and unjust situation. He turns tail and bolts, tears streaming down his face.

The pain and hurt is too much and he must change, he must TRANSITION!

As he sprints across the road with magnificent speed a bright flash signals his change, just in time with the beat drop. He is no longer the crying and sad boy, he now a MAN wearing a bright royal blue suit and golden vintage shoes. He swiftly passes the camera and looks back with a smugness as we get a view of the full buttocks on display.

You get the gist of it. Usually all of the videos follow the same format of Cheng having some sort of difficulty and then running away crying and then returning stronger than ever wearing a blue suit, gold shoes and pillow tucked into his pants.

Pi has now been added to the saga as the Red Prince as his main antagonist and the Blue King is too overpowered to be taking on normals anymore.

I'm honestly fascinated and a little obsessed with this strange series, it feels like a fever dream. Anytime I run across one I head straight to the comments because I know I've found my people. The people who speak English and are glimpsing into the "Wild Wild East" of foreign-made videos for social media.

For months my one friend (who is actually 30) and I would talk about these strange videos. We would have brief respite from time to time as our algorithms were inundated with various trends - like the Long nose dog who will do it for me, or Chestnuts roasting on an open Fye - but we would always return to the normal daily dose of "The Cheng & Pi Vintage Brothers".

Usually I would be okay with just that but lately I've been thinking about even when I'm not on instagram. I would be in my morning Teams meetinfs thinking about the man in the blue suit running so fast in these golden shoes. What is he running from? What is he running to? Is he a good guy? Or is he a bad guy?

Spurred by these nonsensical questions I fired up the old Google Chrome and just started looking for "running chinese man in blue suit" and I did manage to come across a lead -

mr.chen_handsome

The Ultimate Vintage King himself (self pro-claimed No.1 handsome boy).

Where does he fit into this? I don't know but he does have the OG cast (Blue & Red) on his actual TikTok.

I must continue my research and find out more, I must know who the Blue King and the Red Prince are!

Much Love,

You're almost 30 year old friend.

One Piece has really made me appreciate how fucking good and necessary a wide age range is for an ensemble cast.

If it was a crew of 10 teenagers we’d have run out of ways to switch up character dynamics a long time ago. Things would feel same-y and far less charming than what we have now, which is a crew consisting of five way-too-ambitious dudes in their late teens and early twenties, a fifteen year old who everyone treats like a baby cause he still has a spark in his eyes, two criminals in their early-to-mid 30s who despite being more mature still let the teens do whatever they want for their own joy and entertainment, a dude in his mid-40s who doesn’t realize that quitting his current job to go on a world tour with a 19 year old he just met ABSOLUTELY counts as a midlife crisis, and an old man so old he DIED. I love you Strawhat Pirates.

Siblings Behavior

It's shenanigans time guys

So have this DpxDc idea.

So, the Justice League and the Light (OR villains in general) have two newish members, they've both been around for about a year and they're from the same plane of existence (a place called the Infinite Realms according to those who dabble in the occult)

And the two seem to have some serious beef with each other.

Wisp and Wrath are basicly feral cats hissing and hekles raised when they spot the other and their fights normally ends in draws. They're evenly matched and sometimes the two even fight to the point they are out of steam and just fist fight.

Needless to say everyone believes they totally hate each other and might one day kill (or end?) One of them.

So everything gets turned upside down when suddenly both factions of heros and villains are suddenly summoned to the Infinite Realms.

In a throne room.

In front of the Infinite King (or most commonly known as the Ghost King)

A King who looks very, very much like Wisp and Wrath (like yeah the two do sometimes look alike, like when they grin with sharp teeth and their hair color, but one has blue skin and red eyes for crying out loud!)

He's staring at them, glowing green eyes that seemed to just... know.

"Welcome to the Infinite Realms. I am King Phantom." His voice echoing in the throne room and seemed to rattle them deeply, like a sudden chill in the early morning.

"I have summoned you all here for a single reason." He continued to say "Tell me..."

Here he paused, closed his eyes before leaning back on the chair then he smiled big and cheerfully asked.

"How are my kids doing in your world? Dan and Ellie aren't causing too much chaos in their wake are they? They tend to go a tiny bit overboard sometimes but what siblings don't when they rough house you know. Tell me everything."

It’s been months since he’s settled into life at Wayne Manor. It’s hilarious that they don’t think he knows about their obvious nightlife (and that’s coming from someone whose hero name was just their last name spelled differently) but they don’t know anything about his own past as a vigilante. To be fair, a dimensionally displaced Ghost King wasn’t really on the board for reasonable guesses. Danny Fenton blinked innocently at Duke, blue eyes watery and oh-so-trusting of his adopted older brother when Duke claimed that his bruising came from getting caught in Ivy’s attack on the busses today.

(“Oh my god he’s so trusting and pure what the hell?” He heard Steph whisper to Dick, who nodded emphatically.)

“Oh man, you should get some rest. You guys are seriously unlucky, you know? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Danny asked Duke, his core trilling as he allowed himself to fuss over a member of his ‘fraid.

“Nah, man. I’m good. I think I’ll take a nap and sleep it off.”

“Okay. Oh, here!” Danny fumbled for his bag, grabbing his prescribed pain meds- for his chronic pain, but they don’t actually do anything for him since his ectoplasm burns away most of it- and handed it to Duke. “Take one, and only one. Those bruises look nasty.”

And then Danny gave him the puppy dog eyes and Duke folded, because Danny knew that he wasn’t supposed to hand his meds out but these situations were kind of the reason he claimed chronic pain to being with (even if it was true and his hands shook with aftershocks).

“Thanks, Danny. I feel like death warmed over.”

Danny laughed, the opportunity to mess with the family sparking in his head. “Yeah, I’ve died before. Wouldn’t recommend it.”

With that, Danny threw Duke an easy going smile and walked towards his room, bag on his back.

From his peripherals, Danny watched Jason drop his bowl of snacks, Dick’s pale face, and the concerned and shocked look of everyone else. Except Damian, who just kind of scowled thoughtfully. Tim looked like he was going to rip Danny apart like an interesting puzzle, Cass sat up straight (and he made sure every micro expression he caught on others stayed unconcerned on his own body), and Duke froze.

He snickered- well out of regular earshot- as whispers and whispered shouts rung out after he left the room.

He can’t wait to drop the “I know you’re vigilantes” bomb on them. It’ll be hilarious.

Okay so I just HAD to comment after seeing this fuckery;

If you don’t know, Trump made a comment how if he gets back in office, he’ll be Dictator for a Day:

And when you couple that with his comments of wanting to rip up the constitution:

And the fact he’s buddy buddy with fucking DICTATORS:

And STOLE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE:

How the FUCK can these people claim they’re “True ‘Muricans’” yet support a fucking TRAITOR?! Not even joking, Trump is a fucking TRAITOR and we should ALL prevent him from coming into the White House because he is a THREAT to America’s security.

Sorry for the rant I just had to say this because these dumbasses do NOT know what is in store for a dictatorship.

Basically your life will no LONGER be your own and EVERYTHING you do will be in the hands of the government. EVERYTHING from internet usage to the clothes you wear.

Let’s prevent all of this by voting blue. 🙏

moments before getting arrested

[my4ththerapist]

Raven cycle books are so fucking ugly it’s embarrassing but that is part of the reading experience

[blueseysyogurt]

this fucking sucks I’m going to [remembers suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] sacrifice myself to a sentient forest and become its hand and eyes

[plutonicbees]

sarchengsey road trip is permeating my brain at all times. btw.

[nothatsmi]

I don't know what I miss more, having free time to draw or these fellas

The raven cycle!!!!

Oh I love these guys. Everything about these books, I want to draw them soooo much more (I probably will)!!

Guys I'm back-

It has been a nightmare lately this is the only thing I managed to draw in weeks? Finals and uni stuff that's taking all of my time and energy, slowly turning me into a cafeinated slug (worst part is caffeine doesn't even have an effect on me? I only drink coffee for the TASTE can you imagine). Anyway the rush won't be over until end of January but hopefully I'll be able to ignore the stress and draw anyway :)
