✨Cobbler Ahmet just wants to fix shoes✨

But his wife wants those sweet, sweet bath reservations, so it looks like he's going to go be the Chief Astrologer to the Sultan. The only problem(s)? He doesn't like astrology, doesn't know how to do it, and starts out by selling his astrology by the side of the highway.

That's actually the second story, because this week there are two stories of two Ahmets following dreams. On the first is junkman Ahmet, who has the same wonderful dream every night...except when it stops being wonderful, and starts getting real, he learns that sometimes following your dreams can be painful. And also weird.

😈 The Creature: Wapaloosie

If you find you're always misplacing your gloves, they might be actively crawling away from you...because they're made from the fur of a Wapaloosie, a half squirrel, half dachshund, half caterpillar.

✏️Osmo is a pretty solid sketch artist✏️

He’s not drawing a criminal, though. He’s drawing his sister, whose only crime is stealing the prince’s heart. And also maybe trying to escape the prison of the sea king, but that comes later.

😈 The Creature: The Jurua

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh. Hope you’re wearing the right creeper.

Is his boss the devil? Literally...well, no. Is the devil that Goria meets in a bar actually better than his boss? 100% yes.

😈 The Creature: Jack-in-Irons

A creature who made it a bad thing to walk around threatening people with a spiky club and wearing human heads. Thanks, Jack.

Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes.

But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them?

😈 The Creature: Intulo

An evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die. But only if he has to die, eventually. He does? Ok, then bye, world.

Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least. But, have you thought that she might not like you putting her in a box and deciding what she is before you even get to know her? It's something you might want to think about. Definitely because you shouldn't be prejudiced. Also because if she's really a sorceress do you really want to make her mad?

😈 The Creature: Ipupiara

A hairy, smelly merman who's just trying to keep up with the trends.

Even if you're not trying to meet the love of your life or, like the characters in today's story, actively trying to avoid meeting the love of your life because you really don't want to marry, you still might end up falling for someone anyway. And then maybe dying of a broken heart because that's apparently actually a thing.

😈 The Creature: Ebu Gogo

They will take your stuff and your children...and then ask the children how to cook themselves because no one wants to eat raw children, not even hairy monsters with (maybe) dog teeth.
