After working on it off-and-on for upwards of 6 years, this little project has finally drawn to a close.

I started compiling backgrounds from Xiaolin Showdown back in early 2016. At first, it was just a one-off post featuring a few scenes I thought were pretty; it then proceeded to become a (somewhat) serious attempt to document the show’s unique and enduringly delightful art style. I don’t think I ever really comprehended that I’d get through the whole series one day.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy going through these backgrounds as much as I enjoyed collecting and editing them.

To browse through all the background posts at once, check out my tag #a thousand mile journey! You can also check out this directory here to quickly search by episode or recurring location.

“Tunak Tunak Tun” (Punjabi: ਤੁਣਕ ਤੁਣਕ ਤੁਣ) or “Tunak”, is a bhangra/pop love song by Indian artist Daler Mehndi released in 1998. At the time, critics complained that Mehndi’s music was only popular due to his videos that featured beautiful women dancing. Mehndi’s response was to create a video that featured only himself.

also gosh the lyrics to this are actually really sweet & great i never realised

not to sound bitter or anything but a lot of y'all don't even pause to consider nonbinary genders when a character shows any indication of being Not Cis. like ohhhh they did xyz thing that indicated disinterest in their assigned gender, therefore they must be The Other Binary Gender And Nothing Else. attacking you with a rake btw

If you ever find yourself thinking "oh, I can't write this Cool But Impractical thing into my story, it's just not realistic", here are a few perfectly realistic reasons why people and even whole cultures would rather do something in an impractical way rather than the sensible one:

  1. weird flex
  2. religious reasons
  3. religious weird flex (someone decided that they are So Religious that they consider the practical method Sinful, and people got competitive about it)
  4. tax reasons (some ruler put a tax on doing something the sensible way and people started doing the impractical alternative as a legal loophole)
  5. someone wildly powerful and popular preferred doing it that way, and everyone adapted to it in order to look cool
  6. someone wildly unpopular suggested doing the practical thing, and everyone went out of their way to avoid doing that in order to not look uncool
  7. it just genuinely never occurred to them that there is a better alternative, and their current method has been honed to perfection/adapted to the infrastructure so deeply that at this point altering it wouldn't be sensible
#secret bonus number 8: it was a prank on tourists that got out of hand
