I'm Going To Admit, I've Never Read Any Of The Books

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)

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:

I struggled a lot after writing the Two Princes bc I still wanted to write something, but every time I opened an empty document I realized that the thing I wanted to write was the story I've already written.

I wasn't entirely happy with the way it turned out in the end. It felt a bit rushed, and I still think there are some things that could be made better.

I also want to write even more about those two, but I don't have enough ideas to make an entire fic about it.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who read my story, even though probably none of you will see this.

Your comments kudos and whatnot are basically my life fuel.

Wanted to make a meme with this about the Golden Flames AU, but it wasn't much of a choice

I'll make one anyway:

Wukong: I am a living legend, I don't need anyone (not anymore)

Red Boy: *exists*

S4 special spoilers kinda

HELP NOT MK MAKING A RED SON

If daddy issues make you a people pleaser and mommy issues make you, like, a sociopath

What the hell does that make him?
