Wukong: Alright. Just Have To Keep My Sworn-brother-who-i-just-sealed-under-a-mountain's Kid From Dying

I love kids shows, their plots are oftentimes very interesting and well thought out, more so than many shows meant for adults, but they can still stay lighthearted in the beggining, or some even manage to balance the serious plot and lightheartedness in later seasons too, but one thing I also like about them is that they are never sexual.

I am asexual, and cartoons and kids shows are sort of safe spaces for me where relationships can be lovey-dovey and just loving each other so much they explode and are not reduced down to just sex, and that is not the only thing keeping it together.

A lot of times I feel like in society and as consequence in media sex is placed higher than romance, and every cute loving comment just has to be followed by a sexual one, and I feel uncomfortable with that.

Media should have parts that are good for everyone. I myself love romance in media(im also cupioromantic), but there are a lot of arospec people who don't share that opinion. There should be more media where neither sex nor romance is present, but it still has everything media that does have those things does.

Or, hell, give us media where only romance or only the lack of it is present in non platonic relationships within the characters.

Give us representation, give us a wide variety of options, give us safe to watch comfortable shows.

Even in some fandoms of kids shows(I won't name them and it's not necessarily this one), the sex obsessiveness that makes me feel so bad is present.

So, out of spite I decided to make EVERYONE asexual, starting with my special interest: Lego Monkie Kid.

That's right.

From now on NO ONE is safe.

Red Son? Already headcanoned him as asexual but now he also gets to be sex repulsed. (and extremely in love with Mk but thats not relevant)

Mei? Ever since I got introduced to the concept I have been a full on aroace Mei truther. Fuck yeah girl, us aroace people rock

Mk? Also ace(and obviously madly in love with Red Son but that's also not relevant)

Sandy? Only thing he want to DO is help his friends, have tea and take care of his cats

Mo? What did you expect? He's literally a cat

Tang and Pigsy? Married ace couple who adopted Mk

The DBPs? Don't care that they have a kid. From now on the story is that they really wanted to have a kid but didn't want to do the do for it. They either made Red Son with magic(would check out with the whole Samadhi Fire situation if he was made from magic) or they're somewhere else on the acespec

Swk? Nu-uh.

Macaque? Nope.

No sex in this household bitches.

Spider Queen and her fellow spiders? They are literally purple and green, need I say more?

LBD? Too busy 'fulfilling her destiny' to have sexual attraction(plus occupied the body of a child)

Camel Ridge Trio? *laughs*

And so on and so forth. All of them acespec. ALL

Let me tell you my problem with the Samadhi Fire.

So we're given a toddler who understandably throws tantrums and is emotional a lot.

Much like any other toddler.

But this really fucking strong fire is thrown into the mix.

Instead of trying to find ways to teach him how to be calm and control his fire better, they try to control him(as said by PIF, even their combined might could not control him) eventually they decide that they should take it away from him

Now remember what Red Son told Mei in the final battle? That she doesn't wield the fire, she IS the fire

Probably talking from experience.

So basically, they locked parts of this kid into rings.

Also the amazing parenting of DBK makes an appearance: he kept one of the rings.

Since he got a mountain on top of him he wasn't around that much, but he didn't know that would happen, so he fully intended to keep a part of his son on his person at all times, as a constant reminder to the kid that yeah that was ripped from him.

And he didn't even get it back???

I love Mei and i fully support her girbossing around, but it would have been such an amazing move towards Red Son's inevitable redemption arc if he was the one to use the Samadhi Fire in the final battle.

(His whole significance in JTTW was because of the Samadhi Fire, so it feels to me like this way of dealing with it was just an excuse to hint toward dragonfruit(which i feel is forced, but i explained that a bit more in another post))

(For some reason, I feel strongly for characters who got things taken from them, or got replaced, or any combination of the two)

(Dunno why)

When planning my Golden Flames AU of course i had to think about rewriting episodes, and I thought, hey, I can write Red into s2, and I still haven't decided how that particular thing is gonna be handled, if I'll even do it in the first place but that got me thinking.

What the hell is going on with Red Son's backstory in canon?

Like the whole samadhi fire situation is different than in jttw, but in dumpling destruction, the Red Boy storyline was, like, canon, so what the actual hell is up with that? Did all the Red Boy things happen after the fire was sealed and swk got beat up by someone much much weaker than before without the samadhi fire, which was the reason for Red Boy's success in jttw, or did he get his shit handed to him by a baby?

(Also the added fucked upness of all the punishments he received, which is something I'm already pretty loud about in the first place, I will never shut up about how wrong it was(actually made a post on it too, but it irrelevant now) and also another question about canon regarding Red's time with guanyin)

And yeah, it was Dumpling Destruction that started me on this.

It would have been really difficult to try and figure things out for this au given this confusion, because if all the Red Boy stuff happened after the sealing then it wouldn't have happened here, therefore the vase wouldn't be available, but if it happened when Red was a baby then it makes it really funny that swk got beat up by a baby, helped seal world ending fire that the kid used to beat him up inside the baby, then protested against killing him, sealed the kid's dad and went on to raise the baby

So because of that, dumpling destruction does not exist in the au regardless of whether ill rewrite the rest of s2 or not.

Is it just me, or is waiting in the wings from the tangled series totally a Red Son song?

Mei definitely has Red Son in her contacts either as 'Red Boi' (or some kind of other rendition of that) or as 'moo' both options with an ungodly amount of emojis, and his contact picture is one of those mooshroom cows from minecraft(cause red, and cow, get it?), but with angry eyebrows drawn on it(or a chicken with angry eyebrows drawn on it, or basically anything with angry eyebrows drawn on it)

Wukong @the DBPs:

Red Boy:*vibrating out of his skin because he got to meet Nezha*

Nezha:*mentally creating a list of things Wukong really needs to teach the kid(stranger danger is high on the list, because it was pure luck that he only met nice people)*

I would like to share this specific doodle

Learning French made my brain melt so here a horrible joke:

What was sealed away on a Saturday?

The samedi fire

(Badum tsss)

The owl house s4 actually got canceled because the show gets darker with every season and the poster would basically be pitch black
