A Fiery Lovestory(Red Son x Mk part 2)

( go check out part 1 if you haven't already totally just didn't upload part 1 before i really should be working on my other story but i love this ship so yea also Pif stands for Princess Iron Fan aka Dbks' wife)

(with Macaque) Macaque managed to slip away into the shadows with Red Son and brought him to the castle before resting him the bed, "Stay here kid I'll go get things to fix you up" Macaque said before disappearing, Red Son felt like absolute dog shit, his father left him there like he always done hell he almost died he couldn't trust anyone except Macaque, you see well Macaque has always been there for him he helped him by managing to get him away from his parents he didn't see Macaque as family more just as a friend. Red Son brought his knees to his chest before hugging himself and sobbing quietly.

Macaque came back and saw Red Son, "You poor thing..."Macaque said out feeling empathetic. He gently brought Red Son closer before carefully taking off his jacket and putting his glasses on the bedside table. The shadow demon let out a sharp sigh as he stared at his friends' wounds. "Red, bud can you take off your shirt for me? Need ta see your wounds better" Macaque asked which the prince obeyed taking off his shirt letting out a small whimper due to how much his body hurt. Macaque handed him an ice back to put on his bruise as he began gently disinfecting his wounds. Red Son hissed in pain as he felt the alcohol disinfect hit his wounds, "Sorry sorry..."Macaque instantly said. This took about 10 minutes, "Hey why don't you go have a shower then I'll put the bandages on and I'll go make you some food to eat once you're done" Macaque said before getting up to give Red Son some privacy.

The prince turned on the shower letting it adjust to the perfect temperature before stripping the rest of his clothing and untying his hair. He then carefully went in their letting out a small pained whimper which turned to relief as the warm water poured over his body comforting him, the prince reached toward the shampoo and picked it up, he then lathered his hair with it the room filled up as the smell of vanilla and raspberry filled his senses his tail flicked splashing a little water to the side. Red Son then put conditioner in his hair which was the same scent. He then scrubbed his skin with a lavender body soap. He was still being careful but he eventually finished and turned off the water, wrapping a towel around himself. Red Son went in his room then put his boxers on then sweatpants he didn't put his shirt on yet, Macaque needed to put the bandages on.

"Macaque! You can come in" Red Son said out he knew he would be heard Macaque came in with two bowls of noodles, "There we go, you look better already" Macaque said out happily before handing Red Son his bowl, "Made it extra spicy just the way you like it" the monkey demon said before grabbing bandages. Red Son smiled at him and thanked him. "Well the good thing is I managed to get you out place but now Wukong and his friends know we're friends" Macaque said, "I highly doubt they think we're friends that probably think there's something in it for you" Red replied as he began eating.

Macaque finished bandaging him up and started eating his noodles, "Red Son!!Come here right now" DBK shouted. Macaque stared at Red Son worriedly, "You sure you wanna go to them?" He asked which Red Son nodded too before finishing up eating putting on his shirt and going down, "He really needs to stop leaving me here" Macaque told himself.

"F-Father you wanted to see me?" Red Son said out nervously as he fixed himself up, "Your idiocy made us embarrass ourselves in front of the brats" Pif said out in a bitter tone, "B-but I did what I was told too I kept them busy" The fiery prince stuttered out nervously earning a scoff from his mother, "Doesn't even know what he did wrong" she said. His father stared down at him angrily, "You imbecile! if you haven't had made a massive fire this never would've happen!!!!" DBK scolded his son, "O-oh! I'm s-sorry it won't happen again I promise" Red Son instantly apologised, " It better not...you bring shame to the family name" His mother said mumbling the last part. "Now hurry along my useless son and go build some more machines because that's all you're good for and even those aren't good" Pif said out , "Y-yes mother..." Red Son replied sadly before walking away.

Red Son began working hard hammering and soldering things together. He stared at a piece of metal before pressing his face against it, "Why do I still tolerate them..."He whispered to himself. He continued to stare at the metal before attempting to solder it to another piece. Suddenly a huge flame appeared and Red Son backed away instantly stopping the fire, "W-well that wasn't meant to happen..." Red Son said.

Red Son got up before teleporting away into the city he lifted a hoodie over his head before continuing to walk around, it was the afternoon it's been 2 hours since the battle finished and well he was exhausted but he didn't want to spend time in that hellhole, suddenly out of nowhere it began raining cause no story is complete without some rain. "Ah great just what I fucking needed!! Just the cherry on top to this day!" He hissed. Red Son tried to teleport but couldn't due to it extinguishing his flame he let out a sigh before he began kicking rocks as he walked, "Stupid family, stupid dragon horse girl, stupid Monkey king, stupid noodle boy and the rest of his friends,...stupid noodle boy and his stupid handsome face" Red Son realised what he said and blush spread across his face. "What am I on about he isn't handsome!!But he is...that peasant must've done something to me!!" Red Son hissed.

He continued walking before bumping into a familiar face. I wonder who it could be???

(also his tail is like a demon tail it has a little spade shape at the tip)

A Fiery Lovestory(Red Son x Mk)(part 1)

(hell i know very well i shouldn't be making a whole new story but im obsessed with this ship and can't stop thinking about it, sooo here's a spicynoodles fanfic also this is lego Monkie Kid not ninjago before anyone gets confused and Macaque and Red Son are friends and his parents are shit this is for the sake of the story i don't hate Pif and DBK Red son did not become a hero and doesn't know he created the Samadhi fire and yes Macaque does call Red Son kid even though he's over 500 and Mk is 19 and yes they did defeat LBD but dont know Red Son created the fire except Wukong and the others who was there when extracting the fire )

"C'mon kid why don't you just leave them they're shit to you either way" Macaque said to his fiery friend who was sitting on his bed, "and make myself seem like the laughing stock to those peasants? Fuck no" Red Son replied Macaque let out a sigh before sitting next to him, "listen kid...I know a thing or two about being around shitty crowds and sometimes it doesn't matter how much you embarrass yourself it's better to just leave" the monkey demon said, Red Son stared up at him, "That's not it, I just need to prove my worth to my parents, I'm barely worth being known as the son of the Great DBK if I can't prove myself and that's what i'm going to so" Red Son replied, blind to the consequences of his actions, he stood up and left leaving Macaque, "Poor kid..." he whispered to himself before slipping away into the shadows most likely following him.

(With Mk and his friends)"Mk when you're done with your deliveries we should go to the arcade" Mei said out joyfully staring at her friend, "Oooo can i come???" Wukong asked curiously, Mk stared at his mentor, "Sure! But you're gonna need to hide that tail" Mk replied as he continued packing orders in the truck which Wukong gave him a thumbs up. "Hurry up Mk! We don't got forever you better get all these orders otherwise you're fired!!!"Pigsy shouted from inside even though this was like the thousandth time he said he would've fired Mk. "Ok ok, see ya"Mk said packing this last order in and jumping into the van and driving off.

Mk put some music on and continued to drive around giving people their orders, "Today's surprisingly peaceful, no spiders, no bone demons, no DBK- ohHHH Shit!!" Mk shouted as the truck was suddenly lifted into the air by..... you guessed it DBK, "Ah shit i jinxed it...."Mk said before grabbing his staff and holding it closely. Suddenly the door to the van was opened by DBK. "Hand over the staff i've given enough chances and this is your last warning"DBK said angrily, Mk stared up at him, "Haha...nooo...?" Mk said out awkwardly. DBK let out a growl before throwing the van into a building. "whoaAAA-"Mk said before jumping out and transforming into a bird and flying away. "Honestly i love how worked up you get when you try to steal the staff from me"He laughed out teasing DBK, suddenly he roared and a blue beam emitted from his mouth due to his short temper.

(meanwhile with Wukong and the others) Red Son appeared at the front of the store, "Come out here and fight me you peasants!!!" Red Son shouted out angrily he waited for his father to appear and had to keep these idiots busy while he delt with Noodle Boy. The group came out of the noodle shop. "Oh would you look at that, DBK sent you to deal with us "Wukong teased, "Yea Red Boy!" Mei added causing Red Son to growl, "For the last time it's Red Son!!"The prince exclaimed as his hair lit on fire due to his outburst "Mei ,Sandy, Pigsy and Tang you all go and help anyone you can find" Wukong said Mei stared at him with a bit of doubt not realising the others left but when she was about to go, "Uh Uh uh~ You're not going anywhere" Red Son said out in a sing songy voice as he surrounded the three of them with a ring of fire stopping Mei from leaving. "Alright then !We can both beat you in our sleep "Mei laughed out.

(With Mk)"Honestly i've seen toddlers more aggressive than you and hell they probably could've been able to beat me which means you are weak!"Mk teased sending DBK into another rage fit at this point Mk was just playing with him at this point, he heard a whoosh and saw fire in the sky, "oh no...my friends..."Mk whispered realising that the fire was right in front of Pigsys' noodle shop. Mk suddenly had a mood switch and took this seriously and he began beating DBK easily eventually he had to retreat with the help of his wife. The moment he left he sped towards his friends.

(With Wukong and Mei) Mei had Red Son on the ground with her sword at his neck, "You might as well give up now your not gonna win against me and i doubt you could last 5minutes if Monkey King was actually trying"Mei said. Red Son stared at her before using his free hand to burn heat up the swords handle. "Oh shit!Hot hot hot!!!' Mei said before throwing her sword to the side and clutching her right hand and Wukong coming over to her, "I'll have you know that i'm no idiot and I don't fall for simple tricks such as that" Red Son hissed before standing up. Suddenly the fire surrounding them was put out and Mk swooped down. "Mei you okay?"He asked his best friend as he kept eye contact with Red Son. "Y-yea! just a lil burnt on the hands that's all"She responded. "It's kinda ironic how your father always leaves you here when he retreats"Mk said earning a growl from Red Son. Mk jumped at Red Son grabbing him by the throat and pushing him against the ground, Wukong went up to Mk, "DBK was here?"the mentor asked which Mk responded with a nod, keeping his eyes on Red Son, the poor prince was beaten up badly he had a brusie on his cheek, his nose was bleeding he was covered in cuts and his clothes were ripped and he ooked like he was gonna pass out. "Listen Red Son, we'll make an offer you try changing your ways or your father or you could refuse and it could all end right now"Mk said out annoyingly.

"I'm afraid to tell you but your offer is declined"a familiar voice said suddenly Macaque jumped out of Red Sons' shadow punching Mk away. "Macaque!?" Wukong hissed before catching Mk before he could hit something. "You good kid?"Macaque asked helping Red Son get up, Red son simply nodded, "I'd love to stay here and take this dance with you Wukong but i've got someone to help"Macaque said noticing how beat up his friend looked, before retreating back into the shadows with Red Son.

Tang, Sandy and Pigsy came back, "W-we helped everyone we could find"Tang said, 'Did everything go alright here?"Pigsy asked earning a nod from Mei, Wukong and Mk were both confused as to when Macaque wad affiliated with Red Son, "MK you alright?"Pigsy asked, earning a nod from Mk, "Well... we should go inside and you guys can tell us what happened"Sandy said as everyone agreed before going inside.

The group went inside and Pigsy made some noodle for everyone saying it was on the house. Tang applied some aloe vera cream to Meis' hand as her hand was slightly burned. Mei began explaining what happened while Mk and Wukong were sitting there confused and annoyed. "So you're telling us that fucking Macaque is friends with the demon bull prince!"Pigsy said out annoyingly Mei nodded being stuffing her mouth with noodles, "Pigsy language"Tang said. Mk got up before going up to his apartment he changed and lied down on his bed before drifting off to sleep. who knows what other adventures await......

(Well that's part 1 hope you enjoy and god damn is this long also Mk is bisexual while Red Son is gay and the noodle shop is right below Mks' apartment which has two bedrooms so basically they're both connected please excuse and spelling mistakes i wrote this in 20minutes)

(EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: The samadhi fire Mei holds isn't as strong as the original and basically is just a much downgraded version of the original remember this)

Hi! If you're still looking to write something on this blog, I want to request an X reader fic. I have so many request ideas but right now I'll request this one for tonight. I wanna know how Macaque would react and would treat the reader if they had shadow magic/umbrakinesis like him (but uses it in a way that's similar to Raven and Pitch Black from ROTG)

Macaque x Gn!Umbrakinesis!Reader

Pronouns Used: None, no gendered terms either.

Format Used: Bullet point

I'm not sure what version of Raven you mean, but I'm only familiar with the Titans series version of her. So, if that's okay, I'll combine both hers and Pitch Black's.

Hi! If You're Still Looking To Write Something On This Blog, I Want To Request An X Reader Fic. I Have

I honestly think that Macaque would be confused at first with what type of abilities you have. If you're on MK and the team's side his only focus is finding a way to weaken them. If you aren't he'd be interested to see if you'd be able to defeat Monkey King, wanting you on his side.

When he notices your abilities are shadow related and not illusions or creature summoning, his interest would be fully peaked. Now actively trying to get you on his side.

After a while of this pushing he realises that you don't have full control of your powers, they have a mind of their own represented through the creatures you made. The creatures in question resemble normal animals, the main difference being the black dust-looking substance they were made from.

If you told him about the voices you experience, a sort of force that made you lose control when you expressed too much emotion, Macaque would wonder if this was a curse, something you trained and lost control over, or if this was what you dealt with from birth.

The animals were typically friendly and under your control, but whenever in training when he pushed you a little too far, the creatures you created as an escape became something you wanted to escape from. Violent and trying to kill everything in it's path.

He's tried his best to put up the comforting mentor act when they become too much, to help you overcome this. But whatever those things are made from, whatever the other you is made from inside of that mirror, you can't separate from it.

Macaque seems to be a calming prescene to the things you made, he suspected it was the shadow powers he held and the fact he was a demon. This idea only grows after you tell him of your origins, being the child of not only A demon but THE demon.

Macaque would usually make shadow clones to watch over your creations, making sure they weren't causing any unnecessary harm that would ruin his plans. And just because it's a pain to clean everything up.

Honestly, Macaque would grow to enjoy the fact another person has some type of shadow magic like him, it creates a sense of relatability. Even if he is using you at first.

Your powers would come into play when he attempted to sympathise with you, trying to paint a narrative that his abilities worked like yours. They were their own being and used him. And it probably worked, Macaque's sob story becoming a method of making you feel more passionate during training. If you felt bad for him, you'd be more willing to 'help' him overcome his goals to 'improve' his control over the shadow.

No matter your age, given the fact you're a human, you'll always be younger than him. If you're a child or teenager, he won't go too far with his training, he may be a demon but he's not a monster.

Due to the fact you seem to genuinely be afraid and have episodes because of your powers, after a while of the manipulation and lies, Macaque begins to feel guilt. He begins to care for you.

Macaque views the strange voices you hear, the ones that control you and force you do bad things, the monsters in the mirrors, the dark shadow of yourself that appears every time you get angry, as the voices he hears. He doesn't have some strange shadow creature from the underworld inside of him, but it can feel that way sometimes.

His fake sympathy turns to real sympathy, and depending on how you treat him, Macaque would genuinely form a connection, you might to. If you do, he'd convince you to make both of your attempts to take revenge on Monkey King as a full time 'job' of sorts.

You both become a mentor and apprentice type deal, he helps you calm down and have a control over your emotions, and in return, you're the friend he lost so long ago.

Macaque trains with you really often, but the second he feels you straining too hard or he senses discomfort, he stops. Both not wanting you to lose control and not wanting you to dislike him. It's the first time in years he's felt somebody understands him, losing you would mean losing everything.

Overall, I imagine it'd be a hot mess at first, but with conversations and time, it could be a great platonic or romantic relationship!

Lego Star Wars fans: "You know what would be cool? A new set. For instance, a big Invisible Hand set, or a separatist command ship set, or a cool new Clone Wars set."

Lego: "Hah, fuck you. We're gonna remake the X-Wing again, and you're gonna like it."

As a fan of Lego, and as a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender, how the FUCK did I not know that Lego had a brief ATLA theme??? And why did it have such a short run time??? And why does Lego not make sets from any mainstream anime (e.g. One Piece, or Naruto, or AoT, or MHA, or even BSD)???

Okay, that last one is just me wishing. But still, there was a Lego ATLA!!!

I’ve begun my new Christmas tradition of building the cool Lego set that my wife got me. This year it was “The Mighty Bowser” set. I finished the stand Bowser goes on and I’ll finish Bowser tomorrow. My wife is the best. We usually celebrate Christmas with just the two of us a week before actual Christmas because we have, like, three Christmas’ to go to. Her extended family, my immediate family and her immediate family. Should be a fun time.

due to ninjago invading my dreams and telling me that Garmadon was raised by Serpentine and got the silly accent it got mine wheels and cogs turning so au where after being bit by the great devourer, FSM abandons Garmadon, who is then raised by the Serpentine. Wu was very against this and they sneak out to still hang out together occasionally. Despite this they end up on opposite sides of the serpentine wars and idk after that

Fan Theory: Like Ogres and Onions, the Matoran Universe has Layers

This theory has been rattling around in my head for some time, I might make a Knowledge Tower video about it someday, but I’m not certain if its a good fit, given its more of a theory than anything where I actually do some science in it. Maybe you all can let me know if this is a good video idea in the notes?

Anyway, the crux of this theory is something to try to explain how all of this:

Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers

Actually fits into the body of the GSR.

This is a long post, so I’ll put the rest under the cut.

We already know from Greg quotes that the MU map isn’t really to scale, its more to show the rough position of the islands rather than their actual relative size compared to one another, hence why Odina is so large, and why Voya Nui seems to take up most of the southern continent despite being described as being relatively small in story.

But even using this as a guide for placement only, it still doesn’t really gel with the actual layout of the Great Spirit Robot, with everything in the torso area having to be squished up into the upper torso given the empty space in the abdomen.

Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers

This is further compounded by this image, which places the giant vortex in the endless ocean that leads to the great waterfall in the middle of the chest of the GSR, once again placing both the southern continent and Karda Nui squarely in the upper torso:

Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers

I’ve seen more than a few fan maps of the MU that try to address this problem, but all the ones that I have seen have never quite been satisfying to me, they make the southern continent especially far too small than what the storyline suggests it should be in order to get everything to fit.

But my solution, which I don’t think I’ve seen elsewhere before, came to me when I remembered that Karda Nui was in a dome that was underneath the southern continent - it was on a separate layer. And, well, Karda Nui can be on a separate layer, why not other sections of the MU as well?

That thought let me to making these maps of how I think the MU could possibly be laid out:

Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers
Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers
Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers
Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers
Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers
Fan Theory: Like Ogres And Onions, The Matoran Universe Has Layers

As you can see, from this layered approach, not only can you fit everything in nicely, but you can also keep the continents large without having to compromise to make them fit in. It even allows for additional domes that could house some of the other locations / smaller islands that are mentioned in the story that are not included in the official map. I did also play around with the size of each island compared to the offical map, given Greg already confirmed that the sizes on it were not accurate and so I could maximise the liveable land area of the MU.

I also used the fact that Greg has confirmed that ways to get into Karda Nui are via portals (with the canon one known being near the southern continent and also being where Destral moved itself to during the Karda Nui arc) to get around the issues not only of travel between layers, but also of travel between the head, torso and limbs without having to mess around with relative positions of those places moving when the robot moves its joints. The way I figure it, if the portal took up the entire sea gate tunnel width, then it could be entirely possible that the inhabitants weren’t aware they were going through a portal at all, it could just look like a regular tunnel to them, leading to the MU map from the inhabitants perspective I included here too.

I’ve tried to include as many canon compliant details into these maps as I could (e.g. connections between the torso and arms at multiple points to explain the routes taken by the Federation of Fear, room in Artakha and Xia’s domes for the islands they used to share them with before they were destroyed, the position of the pit being based both on proximity to Daxia but also on the placement of Mahri Nui in the Faber concept art above etc.), but I may have missed some details, so do let me know if you spot any.

I could also potentially use these maps in the future to work out things like total land area of the MU for the Faber and Farshtey sizes given I can determine the area a pixel represents in each, so these could be quite useful to Knowledge Tower videos in the future, but first I’d like to get some peer review on the core ideas from the wider fandom here on Tumblr.

What do you think of the maps and the idea behind them?
