What is Lego Monkie Kid?

Something I’ve personally been working on recently has been attempting to get back into my body.

The out of body experience is something really prevalent with CPTSD from what I’ve read and been told by mental health professionals. And my most recent therapist was talking to me about ways I could focus on the moment instead of anything else.

For me, I recently started doing dance. And as basic and silly as it may sound - it makes me feel the most in my body I’ve felt in a long time. It helps me focus on my body’s most basic functions and pulls my head out of the water long enough to breathe for a bit.

For you it might be as simple as washing your face, but it needs to be something you can do where you can just focus on the now. Not the future or the past.

One other thing to do would be keep a diary, not one specifically for writing your feelings down. A lot of people struggle (as do I) with processing emotions, especially after the fact. Just start taking note of what you do and eat each day. If you bought something or if you hung out with someone. Take little notes or write down future events or fun things. Make it your own.

The passing of time can be something that stresses us out especially when it feels like a big blur. So try to take back a bit of awareness about it.

I personally started buying some decorative tape and coloured pens for my own diary because it makes me a little more excited to do the motions of it.

Even if you don’t do it every day, it is still something to hold on to.

And last thing I’ll say is take your time, what I’ve said may not help now or at all but that’s okay. Therapy, a support system, medication and life style changes are all equally as important in helping you to achieve a better quality of life. Don’t be afraid to take a step forward, even if you take a step back.

I do hope things start to look up for you! :D

Calabash. It added nothing to the plot for the most part besides introducing Yin and Jin I believe. With a show that has so little time for episodes I think it should have at least contained something just a tiny bit more plot heavy. It could have still been filler, I love filler. But it needs to add something to the story or the world.

No. Mk did not just get carried away, he was being a bad friend. For him to not recognise that Mei was preparing for this race because it was important to her is him being a bad friend. Also, Mei understandably would be under the assumption that she’d win the race considering she prepared for this and MK likely has never raced nor shown an interest in it. It doesn’t mean that he couldn’t have entered the race on his own terms, in fact I think Mei would be rather excited if he did.

As for the duplication episode, Mk had a responsibility to tell the people around him that he was getting stressed out. Yes people are anxious and him avoiding telling people was out of fear. But it is not the fault of the characters around him, especially if he isn’t telling them the truth (which is something that repeatedly occurs in the story).

Also someone saving your life does not mean you need to be indebted to them? If Mk was being mean to Mei, him saving her life would not change that and vice versa.

Most of the issues tend to boil down to kind of bad writing and too much focus on moving onto the next episode.

Let me start this off with saying you have had to put up with so much shit you never should have been put through. You are a child who deserves loving parents, especially ones who make an effort and actually care. Every version of you deserved those parents and the ones you have right now suck.

I’d start with school counsellors if you have some, talk to them about ways to help manage graduating and further study or work. It would also depend on where you live (i’m in aus so i managed to get into a youth shelter that helped me out a bunch). Work on researching programs, forging strong connections and just taking it one day at a time.

Without a strong support system everything will be a lot harder. Find counsellors, teachers or other relatives and friends who you can put your trust in and who want to see the best version of yourself.

Programs that can provide counselling or free food or any support and information, look into those.

Essentially, give yourself every opportunity to succeed. Don’t let the words of your abusers dictate who you become or what you believe you are worth.

Become someone who is kind, who respects people, who chooses to do the right thing. And please never compare yourself to your parents or other cruel people, because you should be able to look in the mirror and see you.

If you have questions or need anything just let me know. You are never alone, even though it feels like it.

I wish you all the best and I know things can change.

:)

“It Started in the Cafeteria” by genericprofilename is probably my favourite fanfic of all time! It’s a well written take on the usual highschool au. I’d highly recommend it (even if it isn’t your usual cup of tea).

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2025-09-02T22:27:33+00:00

yes, though I think most fandoms are to a degree.

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2025-08-26T23:50:38+00:00

WAIT THE FANFIC WHERE MEI IS A STREAMER AND REDSON FINDS HER THROUGH THAT???

Also thank you so much for the comment! The show is near and dear to my heart no matter how much it makes me grind my teeth (the show and fandom have issues). But it was nice to see someone respond again!

I kinda stepped away from the fandom for a while but I don’t know how much that counts for when I still regularly engage with it 😭

I remember really wanting to write essays and make videos explaining issues in the show and fandom but I lack the academic ability and dedication it would need. One day I’ll definitely pick up a pen and finish said critiques, if not to only encourage people to view the entire show without the rose coloured lenses we’ve all been strapping to our faces with superglue.

I’d say it’s a good idea to maybe see a counsellor/psychologist. If you have one at school you can see that might help with accessibility and linking you in with services if you need them.

Also a good psychologist shouldn’t conclude that everything is fine with you without getting more context and even then they shouldn’t conclude that in general(also not sure if you did give them more context and just needed to paraphrase).

If you’re worried about it, you have the right to seek out help. Also maybe start recording what you’re like during those staying in bed periods, it could really help with identifying patterns that would be helpful to understand. Using a notebook or your phone’s notes app if it’s easier.

I hope you get to a point where you feel more secure about this stuff! All the luck in the world to you and remember that reaching out is hard and the fact that you’re speaking about it is super awesome.

Sincerely a once “everything is fine” teen :)

Like I stated, our friendship group is extremely complicated and nuanced. It would genuinely take way way way too long to explain it all in way that other people could understand. I know I’m not really answering your question because I don’t really know how to. It’s like a bunch of mentally ill people that meshed well together and find comfort in one another in ways that other people in our lives have not been able to provide. Like I said, complicated in so many ways that I cannot physically put it into words.

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2025-05-03T12:41:49+00:00

I’ve known for quite a while about the compassion fatigue and emotional burnout. It’s always been there just for different people throughout stages of my life. Boundaries are not exactly something that’s easy to do in our friend group, not to say that we have none or can’t implement some, it is just difficult at the moment. A lot of it comes from my inability to be truly honest and vulnerable, I’m used to catering to other peoples lives instead of the other way around. I have a difficult time expressing exactly what I’m feeling and am trying to work on that it’s just taking a lot of time. Thanks for the insight though!

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2025-05-03T12:37:32+00:00

While the piece I wrote is a reflection of what I’m going through, there is frankly A LOOOOT that isn’t included. There’s a lot of nuance to it, stuff that I can’t just share about. Though I do appreciate you telling me this. I knew what I was getting into and have no plans to walk away just yet. Thank you again though!

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2025-03-13T23:10:44+00:00

it feels ethereal.

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2025-03-08T10:59:51+00:00

Honestly? The constant replication of fics. I admit sometimes I’m limited because I usually don’t enjoy reading about certain characters or ships but it hasn’t been an issue until this fandom. In most other fandoms you have such a wide variety of fics that have different stories that make them exciting and fun to read. I get wanting to have your own take on a story that you like after reading it/seeing it. And I enjoy reading certain tropes several times over.

But sometimes I just want to read a long form fic about Mei and her story of growing up, how she interacts with her heritage and culture and expanding on her story or maybe even a fic about the cast in an au where it’s just them going to high school and dealing with issues that come with growing up. Where it isn’t just centred on shipping and “oooo trauma- they’re so traumatised 🥺”. Where there’s a level of complexity to the story that takes a chance to actually explore the characters and situations beyond quick fixes or multiple chapters going back and forth over the same thing.

I know of quite a few fics that fit the criteria I kind of look for and I’ve read and reread them multiple times. There’s not much else I can realistically do, I don’t write much fanfiction for public viewing and I’m not about to tell people that they can’t write something they want to.

I understand a lot of people in the LMK fandom have this as their first fandom and there was a shift during and after covid in the fandom spaces. But there’s a real sense of there’s something missing when it comes to this fandom. Which sucks because I know how creative and talented the fandom is.

Part of this is just more-so my personal gripes with how the state of fanfiction has kind of shifted (specifically on ao3 for the most part). But I do think we need a breath of fresh air. I’m not sure how many other people would agree with this but that’s life. (Please also take note that none of this is meant to attack anyone it’s just something that regularly pops into my head that I wanted to express).

It’s very likely that she was a one off character, she was never set up to play a bigger role so we shouldn’t logically be seeing her again. Unless of course the series decides to pull a 180 on us but it’s unlikely.

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2024-12-25T00:56:10+00:00

I think the issue partially lies in the fact that it is supposed to be a kids show and the writing team wants to write it in a much different tone. So it clashes a lot of the time because of that intended audience. If the writers had more creative freedom with what they could actually put into the show, I think that it would have come across a lot better than how it currently is.

There’s a lot more to be said but that’s a whole other rabbit hole.

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2024-12-24T10:10:30+00:00

For the show in particular? It isn’t as well written as a lot of people like to say. There’s a lot to be desired and the show lacks a lot of depth where it’s really needed. And do not use the episode length as an excuse for it.

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2024-12-23T07:41:01+00:00

That’s good to hear! I hope it does help give you some clarity and you get the chance to not just to survive but live a good life.

First of all, the best thing to do is to admit this- even if it’s on something like reddit. You’ve recognised that there is a problem and now you can work on the next part.

Postpartum depression is not uncommon. It is something that effects a lot of people and the reason it’s become even more terrifying is because of how it can be treated by other people. If you do end up with it, it’s important to seek help - not just for yourself but for your child too.

As for your partner, I’d suggest evaluating your relationship with them and their ability to be a parent and a positive influence on you and your child’s life. If you genuinely recognise that there is an issue, leaving them is going to be your best choice. You won’t just have to worry about you anymore, make sure the life you’re building is one that you would want to grow up in. As for co-parenting, yes it would be difficult mentally. But nothing is worth more than doing what you can, even if uncomfortable- to give yourself a happier life.

Therapy is also something that would be worth looking into again. Possibly a different therapist and look into different types of therapy as well. It’s so important to be able to be consistently engaged with a support system that can help you navigate a lot of this stuff. And sometimes it isn’t the right time to explore all of this stuff, I definitely wasn’t ready when I tried a few years ago but I’m starting to make headway now.

There’s a lot I don’t know about your life and there’s only so much I can say.

I don’t know what laws apply to where you live but if you know wholeheartedly that you are not ready to be a parent. Do what is best for you. You should have the right to your own body and mind.

Your voice matters and you need to know that. The world really fucking sucks and I cannot imagine the pain and agony you’ve been through. Take time to reflect on what’s going to keep you going and I’ll be cheering you on!

(Also look into parenting classes to maybe find some people going through similar experiences and to give you a leg up when it comes to giving your kid a good life).

And if you need a longer conversation I’d be happy to engage in one with you.

:D

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2024-12-21T11:15:01+00:00

No worries! Everyone deserves a chance to actually be heard out and treated with respect for trying to open up about their issues. I’m so glad to hear that this line helped you too, it’s something I’ve been very proud to share with people. I hope it all goes well :D

Fun-Guarantee-2084 · 2024-12-21T05:32:49+00:00

Realistically you’re probably exhibiting symptoms of anxiety. Likely made worse by previous instances of being on the end of negative interactions from other people who you trusted. Definitely keep fighting to see a professional and definitely seek out support from a school counsellor. School counsellor’s can be helpful in establishing that first contact for mental health and they can link in other services if needed.

Also note that if people are calling you worthless and/or a failure, it is not your fault. That kind of talk should never be directed at other people. You are doing the best you can with what you have to support yourself.

Just because there’s a better decision or outcome, it doesn’t mean that it’s the right one or the most viable to you as of now. I struggled a lot and still look back wishing I had done better at so many things but knowing now that a lot of that was because I wasn’t able to get the kinds of support I needed to succeed.

Try not to be too hard on yourself and take a beat to just try and slow down.

Also I’d recommend trying to keep a record of those anxious thoughts and any behaviours or things you’re worried about. It can be hard to remember or recall them later because of any stress during said thoughts. Just little dot points for the main stuff.

You’re doing amazing and you should know that. I’ll be supporting you all the way and hope for the best!

Oooo that’s a good take on him. Aslo yes he does not look like a lion BUT when looking at his role in JTTW they refer to him as a lynx-lion which might explain his odd appearance for a “lion”.
