Ooooohh❤️❤️❤️ Lovesick Monkey King and Maquace are adorable!! Can we have MK, RedSon and Nezha affected by a love potion too?? Pretty please🙏🙏

well since ya asked so nicely

✰ LOVESICK (Part 2) ✰

Fandom; LEGO Monkie Kid Character List; MK, Red Son, Nezha Genre(s); big helping of Fluff for ya Pronouns; None used for Reader TW/CW; None

A/N; you can read lovesick for macaque and wukong here if ya like + i dont think nezha can get any kinda sick but its ok :smile:

🌷

-I think Nezha would realize what’s going on and try to fight the effects for a bit, but inevitably he’s done for -And once they are completely under the effects, they’re like a mix of Wukong’s clingyness and Macaque’s nonstop flirting -Ik I say this a lot, but ohu boy -Nezha isn’t usually super touchy, but once you come around/he sees you he is all over you. Craves their partner’s touch even more, loves feeling you close to him, holding your hands or face -Put your arms around his waist they will internally lose it -They’ll gently take your hand and kiss it n call you prince/princess -He’s oddly poetic with his words sometimes when he flirts with you, expect a bit of flowery language -Suddenly very forward but also easy to fluster so keep that in mind -Smoother tone, speaks a bit softer -Again, expect flowers -A little more protective, kinda looms behind you. If you two happened to be in public with them disguised, they wouldn’t give anyone you talk to a dirty look per-say, but there’s definitely this aura. Not inherently scary, but enough to make someone slightly more careful with what they say to you -He seems to smile more with you too, no matter what you’re doing. They’re enthralled by how you manage to be stunning with every little movement -If he could still partially think clearly and didn’t know they were under some kind of influence, he’d think they were definitely sick. Except they don’t get sick.. so after that he’s lost -I’m not gonna say the title. -Alternate scenario; they’re like half under the effects bc Nezha is just less affected by things like this. And they say and do all these things but occasionally after there’ll be like a moment where they partially snap out of it and just; “That was so- Gods, I’m sorry for that, I- I mean it’s not like it isn’t true! It’s just.. bolder than how I would’ve.. Sorry-” ‘n get a little flustered over what he said to you -Their thoughts are flooded with you and it’s not that they hate it, it’s just overwhelming, all these loving emotions suddenly amplified by like 20 -”When does this wear off...”

🔥

-Someone’s getting a bit possessive -Will always try to keep you close to them, they want you to themselves -And it’s not really harmful,, they wouldn’t dare hurt you and they’re not gonna capture you or anything. If you do wanna leave they’ll eventually let you! They just really want you with them,, -Not as physically clingy as some of the others, in fact, you touching him at all especially if it’s a loving touch like holding his hands, arm, face or kissing him anywhere will set his hair aflame -And if you weren’t already together, they would try to deny at least some of what he’s feeling towards you and how their face gets so red when you merely lean on them, but inevitably they’ll break as well -Obsessed with you, everything you do, your reactions to him. They’re suddenly even more aware of every little detail that makes you you and he’s simply falling faster -Tries to impress you with his magic or one of his newer creations and if you say you like it he’s beyond happy. I can just see the floating hearts my guy -Will get you anything you ask for. Want this specific item? Say no more! Craving a certain food? I mean, in his words he’s practically a professional cook so don’t even worry about it -Also might ask you to marry them, y’know as one does. A few times throughout the day when you’re just doing anything. Lovesick, bro. -Roll credits -And later would actually approach you with a ring and everything and ask you to marry them,, like, right then. -And if you say it’s probably too early for that he’ll get a bit upset, but they’ll ask if you’ll marry them one day at least because they are absolutely in love with you and if ya say yes they’ll still give you the ring and promise to get you an even better one when you do get married!

💫

-Basically, like father like son -Also annoyingly sweet and cheesy with all the pet names he can think of, except he’ll actually use your name sometimes -Distracted by you while doing anything. The most wholesome thoughts from this man he just really wants a bunch of kisses from you and for you to tell he’s pretty because he’ll certainly be telling you that all day! -Stares at you lovingly if you’re farther from him, heart eyes and all -Pages full of doodles of you in his sketchbook with little hearts around -If you aren’t together quite yet he will definitely be embarrassed of and hiding those from anyone after this wears off -Also gets flustered with even little touches you give him and he’s tryna play it off but... no -Praises you for just normal things you do. You could just be wiping down a counter and he’d be like; “Wow, you’re uh- Really good at cleaning! Heh-” -Attempts to flirt, half fails but it’s cute -Either he trips somehow and you catch him and the way you look at him has his heart doing flips or he’s distracted by your beautiful face when he tries to- -Will ramble about you if he’s with others even if you’re around and he’ll say the sweetest things about you but he’s been going on for several minutes -Subtly but no so subtly tries to keep you to himself for the day. He doesn’t really wanna force you to stay with him but- -”Oh haha sorry! Me and [Name] are- gonna go doing something right now! Together! Us, together! Going to- somewhere! Yep, haha- uh, my bad but we gotta go, kay byeee!” -Wants to spend as much time near you as possible, he loves looking at your face and he definitely will say that getting lost in your eyes line or something what’d I tell ya -Give him kisses all over his face he will absolutely melt and be a flustered giggling mess it’s what he’s wanted all day -Might purposefully let you win in Monkey Mech which he would never do otherwise so it got you a little more concerned,, orrr he’d try to play his best but the way you look so confident and determined and excited while trying to beat him has him distracted again ( Fin ~ ✰ )

MK ends up supervised at all times when he's pregnant specifically after he nearly burned down Pigsy's due to pregnancy brain, usually by Red Son and/or Mei but occasionally by the others. They let his siblings babysitsupervise him one time and the older adults came back to them all asleep in a cuddle pile on the couch with MK in the center, Mei's phone still on and playing the OSP 'History Hijinks' playlist because dorky mortals do be dorky sometimes

MK also absolutely has Wukong's "Gold Vision lets me see the baby(s)" thing and would just lovingly watch his kids as they developed via Gold Vision, drawing what he sees for Red and the others (except Wukong cuz he can ofc also see the developing grandkids). Red has all of the drawings compiled into a photo album, along with ultrasounds and so many pictures of just pregnant MK. He loves his husband very very much

Awwwww!!!! I havent much to add because these are so cute!

Wukong and Macaque are protective ofc, but they've been through the pregnant monkey motions before, so they give MK almost-complete freedom whenever he's with them. DBK and PIF in contast have an army of Bull Clones at the ready to attend MK's every need and ensure the safe arrival of their future grand-heirs.

Pigsy would def be the most insistent that MK take parental leave from work - both out of concern (thats his adoptive son and grandpiglets there), and out of fear for his poor restaurant. Tang thinks he's over-reacting a bit, but carrys MK's food to him irregardless. Sandy ofc is the most trusted expert when it comes to breathing exercises, teas, and aromatherapy.

Mei is chiller about letting MK do stuff for himself around the house, but wisely doesn't let him cook something unsupervised. Nezha and Chenxiang are chill in their own ways too, but they worry when MK carries anything heavier than a book. Bai He and the Eclipse Twins are determined to make sure MK stays off his feet until the spicynoodles baby(s) arrive. They would be mega-proud and bossy about it too since; "I'm their uncle/auntie!", and MK adores his little siblings too much to argue with them. Sibling cuddle piles/nests are a common occurance.

With Red, atleast MK can convince her to let him walk to the corner store for snacks. Red does insist that MK take a Bull Clone to carry any heavy weights tho (bonus: safety precaution).

MK using his Gold Vision to "peak in" at the developing baby(s) is such an adorable idea. He probably does it first on accident and is speechless. Wukong tells him how he did the same thing when Macaque was pregnant with MK (+when Shadowpeach had Rumble & Savage), and that its super cool to watch the little guy(s) grow. MK would def sketch up what he sees in there and pins it next to the corresponding ultrasound for comparision.

I feel like thats how they found out there was twins...

Ultrasound Technician: "Ok, looks like you've got a big healthy baby demon in there!" MK, turns on Gold-Vision: "Huh, but whats this blobby bit of energy here? Normally I see only one." Ultrasound technician: *moves sensor to the spot* "Oh!! Make that two healthy babies! That one must have been hiding behind its twin." MK: :D!! Red Son: *faints with joy*

Red Son def has an endless wallet/photo album of their growing family. Their almost as bad as their dad - Mr "Canonically brags about the exact time of his kid's birth to anyone who'd listen" DBK. Red Son got the timestamps ready for their own bragging.

LMK mandarin dub (and how characters address eachother) ; an old and. mostly unfinished project I was working on a bit ago. only got mk & mei, alongside past swk & macaque

mk (qi xiaotian) calls mei (long xiaojiao) her full name, and she does the same inversely. I did not find any notable exceptions, but to be honest I did not look very hard. if anyone is interested in seeing how they call eachother in specific episodes or whatever ; send me an ask and I'm open to looking. but I don't feel like combing every single episode to try and find them aimlessly.

my full notes on past macaque (liu'er mihou) and monkey king (sun wukong) via the flashbacks in the season four special. notably, I've yet to go through the flashback in season four episode two yet. I can only talk about part one of the special.

peach tree segment :

- Sun Wukong greats Liu'er Mihou (swk and lmh will be used as shortenings henceforth.) with his full name. followed quickly by Xiongdi/兄弟. literally composed of the characters for Elder Brother and Younger Brother - used as 'bro,' sort of. it's a way men call close friends/comrades. notably doesn't denote that one or the other is older or younger.*

* age and respect is like. a really big deal in chinese culture. really really big. I'm assuming everyone in the brotherhood refers to eachother as XiongDi to denote that they see themselves as on equal standing. though don't quote me (I'm not an expert; I did most of this post in. january. and stuff like this can get confusing when it comes to immortals)

- lmh greets swk as 'Hou Wang Bixia'/猴王陛下 - [pronoun] majesty, the monkey king. the pronoun in question is between his majesty, your majesty, my majesty. pretty sure this is translated as 'my king' in the english dub, so I'm leaning towards my majesty. the way swk reacts ('come on, don't be like that! eat some fruit, enjoy the sunshine!') as well as how he delivers it can make it very safe to assume this is not a sincere term of address on lmh's half.

mountain segment :

-lmh greets swk as xiongdi. when swk replies, swk calls lmh his full name.

-when lmh rants at swk for his inability to consider others, he calls him Sun Dasheng/孫大聖 - great sage sun. intended to highlight his arrogance within context. also, with consideration, I personally believe to put an emotional distance. (pretty sure he says 'great sage wukong' sarcastically within the dub, or something of the ilk, which is rather close to it's like. tonal goal. though it is missing the fact lmh calls swk by his last name, a rare occurance in mandarin. from observation I think it's usually only to show. really high respect? don't quote me though.) it's a variant shortening of his full title, Qitian Dasheng (great sage equal to heaven.)

* notably, lmh does not call swk a demon/variant of demon at any point, which is contrary to the english dub. shortly before calling swk sun dasheng, he says exactly - "你已经着了魔" ; which can be translated as 'you are possessed,' but I'd say it's closer to other translations like you're obsessed/you're obsessive.

I'm, ironically, struggling to find the mandarin dub of season four (I remember having literally the exact opposite problem around this time last year but you know. life goes that way sometimes.) when I do find it, though, I'll be quick to note it down ; though I don't think they directly address eachother in that. so.

mostly this was a pet project for. me. I realized it was actually really hard to find people who noted this stuff down and I was like. hey you know what. why not. though due to extenuating circumstances I ended up too busy to finish it ; I still thought what I already had was pretty interesting. though I don't really go into as much detail as I could have, as I was assuming I'd be noting a lot more character dynamics in this post than I did

#being so serious when I say I looked everywhere for season four. just me bilibili and douyin against the world #douyin was not helpful. I'm apparently very bad at looking things up in a language I don't speak. happens to the best of us #all I got was misc clips about lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk season 4 special #lmk #lego monkie kid season 4 special #lmk mandarin dub #lmk mandarin #lmk meta #lego monkie kid meta #I. guess ??#i think.#saying stuff #I've had this one in the drafts since january #monkie kid #monkie kid meta #still iffy on the meta tag.

in your different AU‘s, will some characters have drastically different personalities?

I’m not sure if it’s necessarily “drastic” but there are definitely differences in their personalities.

I’ll write if there are any~

Taken

MK is very- untrusting, is the best way to put it. He trusts those he loves, but doesn’t trust a stranger at face value. He 100% believes everyone is lying until proven otherwise. He doesn’t trust anyone to keep their word- and infact is more on guard when someone “swears to do something/promises things”

While he is a very kind soul, he doesn’t often cry. Not to say his can’t be moved by emotions, but things don’t affect him at that deep of a level anymore. Even good things.

His abilities only really match to Wukong’s except his ability to dream of the future. This ability came from Macaque.

He’s far more similar to Nezha in how he dresses and fights. As well as his sense of honor. Things like cheating and breaking vows/promises is very upsetting to him.

Hesitant to cause any real injury to anyone.

The Day the World Eclipsed

MK : extremely trusting and loving- probably naively so. Grew up being able to trust everything around him, thus is far more susceptible to manipulation.

He has no reason to distrust anyone or feel concern they might be lying.

His fighting style takes off more of both Macaque and Wukong, as his powers take after both as well.

More playful fighting, not willing to cause any actual harm.

He’s the perfect little mix of both his parents. Bubbly and sweet, yet easily able to switch to a more conniving little trickster at the drop of a hat.

The Tragedy of Six (this is the Au with the biggest difference)

MK: while his playful nature and attitude towards his friends are the same as all the other MK’s, it is with enemies that MK might show the greatest change.

Far more quick to violent tendencies. Can cause harm, and isn’t against doing so if needed.

Very curious of the world, but grew up being told it is corrupt and beneath him, so sometimes that mindset shows in how he interacts with others.

He is very protective of his family- almost boarder-lining on possessive.

His fighting style does have a lot of Nezha’s influence, but it is Erlang that he learned the most from.

Red Son: while Red Son is the same in all my Au’s, this is where his personality differs. He’s far more cautious in this Au.

Feeling both responsible as the oldest, he also has a large sense of fear since he has had the Samahdi fire since birth.

He is calmer. Not to say his anger management issues are gone, but he works twice as hard to keep them under control.

He struggles with abandonment issues. Always assuming everyone is going to leave him- and for good reason. It’s just a matter of time, in his mind

Mei: in this Au, her general bubbly spirit and happy go lucky attitude is the same.

She is prone to more illegal shenanigans, impatient as she tends to be, yet she meditations far more frequently.

And influence from Nezha, you’d be surprise how often you find her meditating without someone prompting her to do so.

She’s claimed the other children and Nezha as her family, and she is not keen to share. And similar to Emerald, she often quietly wonders of her own heritage.

Worried that she isn’t enough as a “Dragon” since she doesn’t fully understand what it means to be one.

She really really doesn’t get along with Xiaoxiao~ (the siblings that are always fighting)

———

And that is all I can really think that is drastically different for the characters of each au. Most everyone’s personalities are the same except for the differences here :3

Dunno if someone has asked this before. But Wukong and Macaque are the same person, and they are seen like this, but why Macaque dies if they were the same? Wukong is immortal so, if they had the same powers, knowledge and stuff, Macaque had also the immortal thing, right? But why he dies? Or how is this?

A good question anon! So from what I know the short answer is that in the True and False Monkey King arc, this is really more about the Monkey King metaphorically killing the monstrous side of his own nature as part of his journey to Enlightenment. It pays to remember, after all, that besides SWK being the "monkey of the mind," LEMH had managed to finagle himself into a position where he could be both a yaoguai warlord AND a religious pilgrim, i.e. he was potentially living out all the lives SWK wanted but couldn't have, but only achieved that by well being a selfish monster that treated others as tools or obstacles (and sometimes snacks) in his path towards personal glory. In this manner, and even though it's explicitly said that the six-eared macaque is a different species than the intelligent stone monkey (which SWK apparently drove to extinction by killing his doppelganger lmao), LEMH is very much acting as SWK's evil clone/almost Jungian "shadow self"/ the other side of the Buddhist two hearts/minds metaphor that the Monkey King must overcome in order to cultivate a true Buddhist nature in himself.

That's my little ramble, but the scholar Hongmei Sun has answered this question far better than I ever could. As such, here's her words on the subject of how Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque act as doubles & what's behind the death of LEMH at the hands of SWK:

"In the case of the second ‘exile,’ the episode of the ‘double-mind monkey’ (erxin yuan), a fake Wukong commits a series of monstrous crimes in his name. While one ‘mind monkey’ is staking with the Bodhisattva, the other ‘mind monkey’ goes to strike the master Tripitaka unconscious, takes his travel documents, returns to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and sets up another pilgrim band, ready for his own journey to the West. The resemblance of the two ‘mind monkeys’ deceives everyone except the Buddha, who sees through the fake Wukong and recognizes him as a six-eared macaque (liuer mihou). The use of a double of Wukong enables the narrative to literally grant the monkey the facility to be self-contradictory, with one Monkey being a pious follower of Tripitaka, and the other a monster who is even capable of beating his master. At the culmination of this episode, Sun Wukong uses his rod to kill the six-eared macaque despite the fact that the macaque had already been captured by Buddha’s golden almsbowl—a constraining weapon—and submitted to Buddha’s control, which seems out of character for the ‘good’ Monkey. One feasible explanation would be that it is an action of eliminating the monster in him, indicating that he is getting closer to achieving Buddhahood at this point in the journey. However, this explanation does not negate another one: that he kills the six-eared macaque because the latter has copied him too closely, the best demon among the ones that Monkey has conquered. By killing his rival who resembles himself, he plays the norm of self-contradiction to an extreme...”

“At that very moment the actual smallness of the monkey’s bloated self is demonstrated in the shadow of the Buddha’s fingers, the overblown ‘mind monkey’ is reduced to finite proportions, and his rehabilitative imprisonment under Five Phases Mountain begins. The lesson demonstrates to him that, however far the ‘cloud-somersault’ can reach, it would also represent his own unbreakable boundary. The Buddha’s fingers serve as an index, revealing to the monkey that what beats him is how own self. Later this indexing role of Buddha’s hand is taken over by the Five Phases Mountain, and after that the headband. Whenever Tripitaka recites the spell, Monkey is reminded of his own limits and the impossibility of breaking them, even with his rod. In the case of the six-eared macaque, one can reach an opposite explanation as to why Wukong chooses to kill him: to free himself. Just as in the submission of Wukong, Buddha beats the six-eared macaque at his forte. Although the fake Wukong is strong in taking forms of others and had succeeded in confusing everyone else, the Buddha is able to exactly identify this monkey’s original form: someone belonging to none of the ten categories in the universe, neither the five immortals (wu xian) nor the five creatures (wu chong). There are four kinds of monkeys who ‘are not classified in the ten species, nor are the contained in the names between Heaven and Earth,’ among which was the first, ‘the intelligent stone monkey (lingming shihou), who knows transformations, recognizes the seasons, discerns the advantages of earth, and is able to alter the course of planets and stars,’ and the fourth, ‘the six-eared macaque, who has a sensitive ear, discernment of fundamental principles, knowledge of past and future, and comprehension of all things.’ This recognition announces the six-eared macaque’s failure as one who has been trying to use his disguise to erase the boundary of his self while taking up the identity of Wukong. It also announces once again the failure of Wukong, who although not belonging to any of the ten species between heaven and earth, still falls into one of the in-between types that the Buddha names: the intelligent stone monkey, indeed a peer of the six-eared macaque. Therefore by killing the six-eared macaque, Wukong not only kills a monster who has tried to cross proper borders, but he also kills a self whose boundary has just been pinned down. This action of self-annihilation is in this sense an effort in defiance of any classification.”

#anon answered #xiyouji #journey to the west #jttw #sun wukong #six eared macaque #hongmei sun #transforming monkey #I guess if you wanted to be really literal & make them completely separate characters #then SWK could bonk LEMH to death on account of LEMH not eating as many immortality-granting treats as SWK #but I believe that this stands as one of literature's oldest examples of the 'evil clone' trope #especially with LEMH's whole attempt to murder-replace SWK #so it's really more about what version of SWK/what version of the self would become the “true” one

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)

ShuiZhu ( main lmk oc )

水珠 ( water pearl )

she/her // bisexual

names / nickname:

ao Shui / shui zhu

{ water girl / titan mermaid / goddess of the ocean / sea witch / fan girl2.0 / the pearl keeper }

backstory:

Ao guang found a giant clam with her inside and then raised her as his daughter since no one else wanted to accept her though some other dragons didnt like her at all except the dragon attendant she got used to her.

once almost injured one of her dragon brothers Ao jiao and almost killed her in a act of revenge luckily Ao guang broke the fight. Ao bing the attendant and Nezha are the only ones she got along well with

secretly went up to the surface multiple times and became best friends with Nezha when she saw him playing alone. they became jianzi duos and explored the ocean for treasures together .Ao guang knew yet he didnt want to make her struggle making friends so he gave her a bladed fan that can change its size for safety.

as Shui grew more attached to the oceans beauty and powerful nature she somehow gained water powers because of it. she may have destroyed a few buildings but it wasnt severe but she once made a whirlpool killing many fishermen on accident and they wanted to execute her though Ao guang was angered shui cannot help but plead for him to spare the humans

the large village the fishermen lived ended up getting invaded by demons.when they found shui they invited her to be "apart" of they're family which she declined and continued causing havoc amongst the village..the humans may hate her but she wants to save them so she gave her limbs and life to the demons and the only thing left is her head the pool of water her body evaporated into and her blood with her head in Ao guangs arms

then Ao guang had asked the jade emperor to bring her back from the dead and he agreed but it would take 200 years to reborn her new body and erase the trauma she experienced but her happy moments.

then when she grew up her aquatic esque ears started to get more bigger with small scales on her back and the heavens decided to give her the role of the goddess of the sea and fish ( or just any sea creature ) but ao guang didnt want her to go in fear of loosing his own child again but shui promised that every year she would visit for 4 days.then she made a pearl balancing both land and sea from disasters making peace ( wukong tried to steal it when the brotherhood still existed )but though she ascended to divinity she must learn how on how to control her powers so guan yin offered shui to be her student or sometimes when guan yin is busy and Nezha has free time he can help her learn even though water isnt his element despite the fact they had been separated for so long they're bond still stands strong yet it took almost 100 years for them to develop into adults

when shui returned to the mortal realm the first thing she does is to tend the graves of the fishermen she had killed on accident from guilt and then visit Ao guang

( most of the time she visits Nezha hangs out with him and helps him with keeping the map safe growing water lilies and often meditate together )

ship name: Lotuswave

despite Ao jia being extremely mean to her when she was a child they actually dont mean it in fact they were just strict they try there best to be good brothers after her death

powers:

water clones ( her water clones are similar to macaque but much faster than his. the clones cant evaporate but rather when something tries to attack it the attacks go through her clones

liquidkinesis ( most of the time she uses water to attack or make random shapes in a brutal way she can do the same with blood and maybe explode it in someones body but rarely does that )

bladed fan ( her fans were given by Ao guang for protection and to block attacks. her fans can shapeshift into a bigger size but cant get smaller. she can also make tsunamis with it by making it bigger and swinging it in the most aggressive way possible )

shapeshift ( she cant shapeshift into anything but only has two forms her full fish form is made from heavenly water and often swims with other fish groups and the second one has the appearance of a water mermaid. her fish form is smaller than the second one and the second is bigger than Nezhas monster form it even grants her mind reading capabilities

often dreams of becoming a dragon someday or having another form that is a dragon and not a fish so she would feel like shes apart of the dragon family

her water hair cannot get evaporated but can change the temperature based on her emotions for example her hair can actually boil when shes mad but it doesnt hurt her or the person touching it.its just hot

Tommy in LMK crossover ideas

Ahem... Below the cut, you'll find yourself faced with eight different concepts for Tommyinnit in the universe of Lego Monkie Kid. Most of which I'd like to write something for in the future, but honestly, who knows if I'll actually get around to it. If any of these happen to be up your alley, feel free to take as much or as little inspiration from them as you'd like.

1 - Amnesiac c!Tommy: c!Tommy wakes up in a city (Megapolis) with no memories aside from the innate knowledge that his name is Tommy. Lives in a cardboard box he named L’Boxberg for no apparent reason until he befriends Bai He, who, upon figuring out that he’s homeless, drags him to Macaque’s place and doesn’t accept criticism. Tommy occasionally gets fucked up by things triggering his memories from dsmp. Sometimes they’re positive memories, but mostly they’re just traumatic and upsetting.

2 - Fae!Macaque and village child TommyInnit: Tommy, MK, Mei, and possibly Bai He are all children in a rural village on the outskirts of a forest. Whenever there’s no one else around to snitch, MK tells Tommy and Mei (and Bai He, depending on if she’s there or not) about the Fae who’s been teaching him magic (Monkey King). This is great, except it fills Tommy’s head with all the wrong kinds of ideas and he decides to venture out into the forest to meet the Monkey King for himself. Spoiler alert, the fae he encounters is not Monkey King (Tommy’s persistence earns him a fae older brother/father figure out of Macaque anyway).

3 - Ghost!Macaque and Tommy: Tommy moves out into a shitty cheap flat all on his own, only to discover it’s already occupied by a pessimistic ghost named Macaque. Also, he doesn’t believe in ghosts.

4 - Vigilante Tommy, Villain Macaque: SBI is family, all of them, excluding Tommy (who’s too young) are heroes. When a villain called Macaque hurts Wilbur badly enough to put him in a coma, Tommy becomes a vigilante for the sole purpose of getting revenge by putting Macaque behind bars.

5 - Raccoonification Station: In a classic case of ‘wrong place, wrong time’ Tommy gets hit by a mystic artifact Jin and Yin were messing with that turns him into a Raccoon. Now stuck as a raccoon with no idea of how to change back and no way of asking for help, Tommy befriends the first person who feeds him- presumably Bai He, but could hypothetically work as someone else- who eventually realizes that- one, there shouldn’t be any raccoons in China, and two, this raccoon does not act like a raccoon. And then brings him to Macaque (or Wukong, depending on who it is) to see if there’s any mystic shenanigans going on.

6 - Tommy and MK roommates AU: Everything is the same, except Tommy is MK’s roommate. Ongoing joke of one of them hitting the other with “We need to have a serious discussion” and then that ‘discussion’ being things like “MK, you have to stop facing your Monkey King toy in my direction. He stares at me all day long and I am beginning to fear for my life.” (Until of course Tommy gets sick of watching MK’s mental health collapse and has a genuinely serious discussion with his roomie) 7 - Sorry!Tommy in LMK: After being buried alive by the people he thought were his friends, Tommy digs his way back to the surface with a new fear of tight spaces. Except now Tommy finds himself on a mountainous island in the middle of an ocean (Flower Fruit Mountain). He befriends a local troop of monkeys and Wukong is entirely unaware of the random human living on his mountain until he overhears some monkeys chatting about the weird boy who came from the earth.

8 - Noodle Thief AU: Tommy’s part human, part raccoon demon, and a literal child, who lives in the bushes of a local park. One day he smells something particularly tasty and follows the scent to an unguarded vehicle with several containers of noodles. This starts a cycle that will take several years off of Pigsy’s lifespan in which Tommy makes a habit of stealing noodles whenever MK’s not looking. Post season 4 special.

These are all fairly slimmed down to the bare bones premises, so if you'd like more elaboration or plot details for any of these ideas, let me know. (I also have a written scene for both the Ghostcaque AU and the Vigilante & Villain AU if anyone wants to see either of those)

Kill the crown: SWK head-canons!

Just let it be known, these can be subject to change as I continue on with the story itself!

Bro is the definition of a cat. He knows he’s not supposed to do something or else Tripitaka is gonna punish him, but the moment that monk’s back is turned— all bets are off.

He doesn’t sleep during the journey unless he’s done a perimeter check five times, and knows no one is gonna try and hurt his brothers or master. After the whole stolen cassock incident, he’s a lil paranoid.

Only he can call Pigsy an idiot. Well— most of the time. Sometimes others get a pass, other times they get the monkey glare.

Wukong’s resting face isn’t quite bitch face, but more of angry/ worried face. At least when alone in the group. With strangers it’s either a closed mouth smile or just a simple resting face. Getting into trouble? He’s full on trying not to smile and laugh.

This is pretty canon but— he cannot sit still. Even on his cloud, he’s jittery. Whether he’s tapping his fingers, shaking his foot, even his tail swaying! He cannot sit still without actively losing his marbles. His personal go-to is rocking on his heels when he’s standing, and sitting is shaking his foot.

He can and will bite. Usually his bites won’t draw blood- usually. Everyone in the group has been bitten. Tripitaka, Pigsy, Sandy, even the horse. They’ve all been monkey bit.

Wukong does not regret biting them, even if he got migraine spelled.

He still calls Red boy ( or Red son as I like to call him thanks to lmk ) his nephew, just to piss off the demon.

He is grandpa Sun to all his monkeys back home, except one.

That one is his mom, Ming.

He loves his mom, she’s in charge when he’s not around.

Ming is a normal monkey, not a demon or anything special. She’s just a normal monkey that adopted a fully grown monkey from stone after he shot lasers outta his eyes. And then proceeded to act like a baby who was lost.

Wukong is slightly bigger than a normal monkey, but uses transformation to make himself around 4ft tall.

His real height would most likely be 2-3 ft without looking up macaque heights.

He takes offense to being called a demon. He prefers the term celestial primate or just “ monkey”.

It takes awhile but he does warm up to Tripitaka and co… and eventually the monkey gang to when that happens.

His ability to lie is unpredictable: sometimes you can’t tell, other times he’s giggling like a child.

With the monkey gang long after his ✨journey to the west✨, he isn’t nearly as murder happy as before.

Unfortunately he still has a temper. But he has ways to calm himself down.

Luhan ( the six eared macaque, coming soon ) makes it very difficult to calm down.

Heng and Yue ( also coming soon) have to hold Wukong back from killing Luhan again.

That’s all for now!

I’ll work on more intros soon and hopefully get this story up and running!

drop a bitterbomb about lmk or the fandom, just go ham. i am here for that mk rant

Hmmm I don't think I have a complaint about lmk itself! (Except maybe the fat clone joke, but I have my man Pigsy so it evens out for me). I really love this show with my whole heart, and though I can be bitter about some things (toh, shera, recently nimona) I do try to give things the benefit of the doubt if I can tell there's real heart and thought behind something. And lmk? So much thought goes into this show, you can feel how talented these writers are!

As for the fandom. *Ahem* *Gets on top of my soap box.* This is a lot of power you've given me.

Like I said in my tags, MK is so often relegated to the role of "therapist" it's shocking. I think a lot of folk view MK and Steven (from Steven Universe) as the same character, and while there's fun similarities, MK is very different from Steven. Steven is definitely the group therapist and ends up having to be the most emotionally mature of all the crystal gems, struggling to keep everyone above water. MK on the other hand has to rely an incredible amount on everyone around him, rarely being the one to actually give comfort himself. MK just also isn't really a character with a "I can fix them" mentality. He's not going out of his way to redeem anyone, except the person in front of him who he thinks can help save his friends/the universe.

Maybe this is a bold take, but I view MK as someone who would choose his friends over the world (he also literally does so in 4x02). He is not a selfless world-first kind of hero, which makes his guilt over getting the world in trouble all the more delightful to watch.

So, it's always surprising to me when I see MK being the one to comfort other characters (namely Red Son and Macaque), when Mei is LITERALLY right there. Our hopepunk shonen protag girly. She's the one to usually do the comforting (along with the rest of the gang), but I think in general a lot of people sleep on Mei.

Which brings me to my second rant: another thing that's kind of disappointing/annoying about the fandom is how pretty much Sun Wukong and Macaque are the only two characters, with MK as a third to promote some kind of interaction between the other two. Sometimes I play a game with myself of seeing how far I can scroll the lmk tag before I see a post about only Sandy.

Which, lmk has such a wonderful cast of characters, it's kind of sad seeing fan content only about Wukong and Macaque—now don't get me wrong, I also love those monkeys, but there's also a lot more characters to explore! Mei is one of my favorite characters, and I think Tang has one of my favorite arcs in the show (3x08 is such a good episode. I am also a big fan of 4x03).

And, god. For all the fan content about Wukong and Macaque those two definitely get the brunt of the blorbofication.

In canon? They're very flawed and fucked up immortals who have hurt themselves and others. But in the fandom? UWU Precious sad boys who blush. It's kind of maddening. Originally I had a lot of people mad at me in my notes for thinking sweet boy Sun Wukong knew MK was a monkey the whole time/involved in MK's creation. Like. I legitimately can not believe there was discourse on twitter about Wukong being a "deadbeat dad". Have you seen this man. Hello. He's an asshole, but he's our asshole, and he tries.

#People were also mad at my ''SWK and MK are gonna fight next season'' prediction. And I'm like come on man #One: You can still love someone who has hurt you. We all hurt each other. That's life #Two: MK has not ever gotten to express the ways Wukong has hurt him in the show. And that's gonna come out at some point #Though I think my blog has found it's way to folk who are a lot more chill #And some who are on this SWK V MK pain train with me #Which is based #anyways that's enough complaining from me #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk rant #asks #imp's a little feisty

(hey @light-imperfected—careful. you'll leave cracks for the shadows to crawl in.)

There's a stranger in Gabriel's room and he's petting Curry.

It's evening. The angel's had a vaguely annoying day at work. Some churchgoer had lingered to argue with the suit of armor about his belief in their twin gods. He had not wanted to talk about it. So now, without thinking, he draws a sword and demands, "who are you?"

The stranger looks up.

For a moment Gabriel thinks, Monkey King?, and heat (embarrassingly) floods his face, but that's not right. Gabriel hadn't heard of any other weird talking monkeys on the island. This guy has a very strong resemblance, though, if Monkey King had abruptly swerved into having an emo stage.

"The name's Macaque, angel."

This last word drenched in sarcastic venom, nothing like the way Monkey King says it. Gabriel does not want to deal with this right now. "Get out."

Macaque laughs. "Yeah, I'll be out of your"—his mouth quirks—"metaphorical hair in a moment."

"Do not break into my house just to mock me, monkey." He's tired. Curry untangles herself from Macaque and comes to greet him, so Gabriel sheathes his sword with a sigh, shakes his head, and picks her up, touching the jut of his helmet to the top of her head. He decides, with some effort, that he doesn't want to clean blood off his floor today. "It's a quick way to get yourself killed. Especially among those of us who aren't native here."

Been there, done that, Macaque doesn't quip, oblivious to Gabriel's own familiarity with dying. Ignoring the warning, he stands. (Same height as Monkey King, Gabriel thinks.) "I hear you've captured Sun Wukong's heart."

…is that Monkey King? It's not hard to make the connection. Gabriel hadn't thought to poke further, fully prepared to believe that he was just called that. In retrospect, it does sound like a title rather than a proper name.

"You're the right guy, yeah? Sometimes he goes by Monkey King?" Macaque tilts his head at Gabriel's silence. "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven? Y'know, the monkey demon freak? Depends on what language you speak."

"He's not a d—" Well, the thought's crossed his mind before, but Gabriel's never met a demon as—mmm. Mhm. Yeah, he's not finishing that sentence. Also, equal to heaven? Half of him thinks it's funny that Monkey King would commit light blasphemy (seems pretty in character, honestly). The other half is a bit horrified.

Macaque raises his eyebrows. Damn, Wukong hadn't told him anything at all. Not unlike him, but still, you'd think.

"We aren't dating," Gabriel finishes instead, blushing more furiously.

"I see how often you come around, angel," Macaque says, scowling. 天啊，this guy's such a mess. "Thing is, Wukong's taken. You may be a celestial, but you're new to whatever's going on here. Stay out of it."

"What're you going to do? Make me?" His face doesn't show emotion, but his voice betrays his annoyance.

The shadows shift very slightly, uncannily. Curry squirms out of his arms to leap under the bed. Macaque grins, blind eye pale and gleaming.

"You may have been here for longer than me," he says. "But I don't choose fights I can't win."

Gabriel scoffs. "We'll see about that."

"What, and then I'll be just another monster for you to cut down?—If that's the case, get away from Monkey King. He doesn't need another celestial to mess with him." With us, he almost says. Himself, Wukong, Flower Fruit Mountain, MK, Mei, their various allies. Macaque wishes Wukong would stop fraternizing with people like this, although the politics of the celestial are (he's assuming) much different here—it's still uncanny how he can be so buddy-buddy with people who'd put them in god prison (again!!) the moment they stepped out of line.

"Why would you be anything but, demon? You're the one who broke in here."

And of course Gabriel's no exception—someone else determined to write the same stories over and over. Can't escape it even here. Macaque scoffs. "We've known each other forever. I know him better than anyone." He lets the silence hang for a beat before continuing,

"Don't get too cozy with him, Gabriel. You don't know what he's like—not even a fraction of what he's done. He won't love you. And even if he does it'll only get you hurt."

Something between jealousy and bitterness in his voice. What did he even mean to Wukong if he could be replaced by the weirdest loser of an angel Macaque's ever met? He likes to imagine Wukong's got better taste than that.

Gabriel puts his hands on his hips. "It's none of your business what happens between us, and I'll consort with whoever I please. Now get out of my house."

Macaque sighs. A portal opens below his feet, and he falls into the darkness, vanishing.

Gabriel exhales sharply, unclipping his swords from his belt and flopping onto the bed. He opens his phone to text Monkey King (Wukong?) before hesitating and closing it again. How do you tell someone that their ex (?) showed up uninvited to tell you how much they suck? Curry jumps up to demand more attention, and Gabriel acquiesces.

"Next time you're supposed to bite the strangers who break into the house," he chides her gently. Curry, who doesn't care, purrs. He scritches her head and tries not to think about what the macaque told him. About how he doesn't know Monkey King (the Great Sage?) at all, really. Is he supposed to care? Does Monkey King want that? He doesn't seem really forthcoming about any of it. Can he ask? Angels weren't made for this kind of thing. How could he imagine he could— do it?

It takes a while for Gabriel to notice that the origami monkey he'd kept on his desk (from that whole dessert shop fiasco) is gone. Across the city, Macaque thinks about crushing it, hesitates, tucks it into a shadowy corner of a shelf. And maybe he can imagine it was for him.

#light-imperfected #<- who the fuck is this #drabble #closed #for anyone eagerly awaiting the horrible love triangle i've set up for myself: tadaa #sorry im posting this on macaque's blog but it starts gabe pov lol

(Hope you're feeling better! Sending positive vibes to you!)

I've been thinking about Sandy...

We all love the big blue river man, but...I feel like he shouldn't already be the loveable giant we know and love when Shadowpeach get to Pigsy's just after the 'conception'.

Dunno, I think it would be, like, a disservice? Is that the word I want, something like that, to Sandy and his path of becoming a better person, right?

Like, Pigsy didn't know about the change when AHIB was going on, so it had to happen after they last saw each other.

Maybe it just happened sooner in TMKATI, but what if!

What if, Sandy comes to the noodle shop and wants to talk, and maybe the subject of the 'young couple with a baby on the way' comes up and he gets the tea on the situation from what Freenoodles understand - both from observation and the vague description, giving them the vibe of 'hiding from bad people (that might be family)' (or something).

As he learned, he meets the 'youngsters' and gets to know them.

But maybe one day, he was already at an 89 and something pushes him to a 90 and hello, temper.

But before something bad can happen, Sandy looks and sees 'Wu' standing in front of 'Mihou' in a defensive stance, eyes vary.

Maybe that's the moment? That he realizes he needs to - and importantly wants to - be better. To be a support system for these two 'kids' that do need help.

Also, interesting thought: somebody said that it looked like Macaque and Sandy are opposites, that Macaque started out as a more quiet voice of reason and is now, well, very much not. While Sandy started out violent and became a peaceful voice of reason.

That is interesting and I do love me some moon/ocean symbolism, so a friendship would be cool.

They could also be yoga buddies (because yoga does help with flexibility during a pregnancy, if I believe the internet), so common activity!

Y'know?

OOOoof. Yes.

Sandy at the start of the TMKATI au is not exactly the soft himbo we know and love from the main series just yet.

Pigsy and him had a falling out some time ago, but Pigsy decides to call Sandy up for "protection" after Macaque gets freaked out by a Bad Encounter during New Years. Said encounter was a certain bone-demon thrall delivering a threat, but to those on the outside looked like some kind of trouble, legal or otherwise. Best to have your strongest guy around if something pops off, you know?

So now Sandy is in the loop with the noodle shop gang about "the kids with a kid on the way". They all assume that Shadowpeach are in a situation of hiding from Underworld authorities, angry family members, or something more sinister. Sandy is like "Hell yeah brother. I'll punch a few demons if they come near the shop!"

Which would be fine except; 1: Wukong 100% recognises Sandy from somewhere. 2: Sandy is trying his best to ignore any recognition from his past. 3: Macaque also recognises Sandy + likes to rile him up.

Which nearly leads to a fishman vs monkey fight one night. A punch is thrown, a far-too-familar human catches his fist.

Sandy leaves the restaurant in a hurry, apologizing tearfully under his breath. He returns some days later, admits that he wants to work on his temper and that he needs external help for his emotional issues.

He asks if any of the gang are willing to forgive him; they all do, though Macaque takes some extra time to reconsider. Mac does eventually come around when he witnesses Sandy managing to calm himself down mid-conversation. A friendship blooms from there.

I love the thought of Sandy convincing Mac to be his yoga buddy once the monkey starts complaining about aches and pains later on in the Egg's development. Its all very awkward at first, but it ends up becoming their weekly "thing" they do together. Both (including Wukong sometimes) are new to modern mental wellness stuff, and it's a lot easier to get into healthier habits with a buddy at your side. Mac probably accidentally calls Sandy his older brother a few times.

Even when Macaque briefly abandons the noodle shop to hide/flee from a certain threat/his and Wukong's relationship issues, Sandy is the only one Mac trusts with his location. Sandy similarly is a tough nut to crack when Wukong is zipping around for answers ("He seemed really hurt. I ain't telling you until you both have cooled off.").

Needless to say, Sandy is the least-shocked to learn that Wukong is willing to do something Very Stupid to get back into his dear Mihou's good books.

Macaque, answers phone at PIF's place: "Hey." Sandy: "Wu's going into the Underworld." Macaque, delayed reaction: "Oh good... WHAT?!" Sandy: "Yeah, he told me to tell you; He's sorry, and that he's gonna make it up to you in the ways he only knows how. Whatever that means." Macaque, stunned: "...Did he say exactly what he was going to do?" Sandy: "He told me to not tell you or else you'd try and stop him." Macaque, getting worked-up: "Damn straight I will!" Sandy: "Hey, hey, remember what we've been practising in breathwork. Pause and forget the situation for a moment, and just breath in deep. Deep breaths." Macaque, a little calmer: "...Ok, I'm feeling a little better. But I'm still really concerned what the hell Wu is planning on doing. If you know where he is, make sure he doesn't try doing anything stupid." Sandy: "Will do! Tell your sister I said hi!" Macaque: "Thanks Sandy." (*call ends*) Sandy, turns to Pigsy and Tang: "Yeah he's ok. Best we follow Wu and make sure he isn't serious about that Bone Demon stuff." Pigsy: "I swear on Guanyin, those monkeys are going to make me age ten years by the end of this."

Sandy earns his title of "Best Uncle" in the au for a reason.

(Do not look at the background it was rushed. Other than that, enjoy the quick drawing of Stephanie and Cass) If Cass’s outfit looks odd it’s because its not a cannon suit. In this au she modeled it after Macaque. (I wanted an excuse to give her a red cape) Thinking of calling this au MonkeyBat (I know im bad at naming things) unsure tho

Also, here’s the link to the LMK specific headcannons. Enjoy:

· Cass is 17 when she first went back to the dimension she was born in

· At this point I wanna say we’re close to the end of season 2 of Lmk so she’s started her training with Macaque

· She learns the basics first- how to summon her staff, shadow travel and she’s working on making shadow clones

· When Batman finds her, it doesn’t take long to tell she has powers, so he assumes she’s a meta

· Cass likes to go back and forth between dimensions

· She disappears randomly to go back home before showing back up at the manor for random periods of time

· No one knows where she goes off to. Trackers don’t work (she always finds them) and not even Batman or Superman can find her

· When asked where she was she either shrugs or says home she will not elaborate

· At first the family was suspicious but as time went on and it became clear she wasn’t doing anything malicious they kinda dropped it and it became usual

· Tim is still trying to figure out where she goes

· Bruce is too but not like Tim is

· At first, she didn’t care to much for her birth dimension and that doesn’t really change much except for the batfam

· She came back because she likes the family. She likes helping them out at night and hanging out with them

· She still refuses to let Bruce adopt her though and tells him he’s like an uncle to her.

· She drops hints that she has a family and but never drops names or locations

· At first the family think she might be talking about Lady Shiva and David Cain, but it doesn’t take long for it to become clear they aren’t who she’s talking about

· The search continues

· The batfam know that Cass can shadow travel, inhuman strength, her durability and that she has a strange shadow staff (that seems to come out of nowhere) but that’s about as much as they know on her powers

· It takes about 2 years for the batfamily to figure out she’s technically from this dimension but it’s not her “home” dimension

· She doesn’t tell them because she sees no harm in keeping it to herself. Besides it’s kinda funny watching them try to figure it out. She also wants to see how long these “world’s best” detectives take to figure it out. It’s not like she’s not dropping subtle hints.

· Stephanie is the first to find out about everything. Duke is second.

· They’re both smug about it once the entire family knows.

· They are also the first two that Cass brought home to meet everyone

· Before everyone else knows, Steph and Duke like messing with the rest of the family by making their own hints/references to Cass’s family

· It frustrates the others more than ever

· The three are having a great time

· As she gets more of her powers, she doesn’t really use them while around the batfam

· She just doesn’t see much reason to. She does however use them to fuck with some of the rouges if she’s on her own

· No one believes them when they say she turned into a slightly demonic shadow being

· Well no one but Tim

· Tim will figure her secrets out. Cass finds it entertaining.

· Cass and Duke get along great.

· Dukes just glad there’s someone else with powers around

· The first time Constantine met her, he showed up, looked at her, turned around, and noped right out of there. He doesn’t explain anything and refuses to be near Cass unless he has to

· Cass finds it hilarious and will sometimes sneak up and scare the man

· When confronted or asked if she knows why Constantine acts like that around her, she just shrugs.

· It’s not her fault he’s scared of the sheer demonic presence she give off

· With the exception of Constantine, she does try to avoid the league and other magic users. To many people who could possible out her by her presence alone and she enjoys being a mystery

A Spiral into Darkness

Macaque loves Sun Wukong more than anything in the world, and doesn't take it well when he just leaves for heaven the first chance he gets.

Ao3 Link

The Sun and the Moon– one brilliant, outstanding, garnering much attention and praise, the other a mere reflection only regarded by a careful few in the night.

Macaque liked that metaphor. He and Wukong had something unique– something special. They were different from the other monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain and while Macaque wasn’t exactly as old as his king, they still bonded over their differences. Plus, unlike a few of the other monkeys Sun Wukong seemed to like his ears, and especially liked picking out the fleas and bugs in his fur where others wouldn’t.

They fought demons together, trained together, saved monkeys together– though the Monkey King had never said it, Macaque often liked to think of himself as the secondary Monkey King, a figure just as great and powerful and equal.

He thought Wukong believed this too– especially with how often Macaque stayed in his pagoda and how Wukong always greeted him with cheerfulness and a cool rock he found sometimes too. It also helped that Macaque always knew how Wukong talked about him because of his many ears.

Praise, adoration, lust, and admiration of power.

Macaque was the king’s strongest warrior, his equal and opposite.

The Moon to his Sun.

“You know, you really would think they’d keep the underworld locked up a lot tighter,” Wukong boasted, picking something out of his teeth as he and Macaque walked back to Flower Fruit Mountain.

“As if there’s anything that could ever hold the two of us back, my liege,” Macaque teased with his tail. “Though I will say, you were subdued pretty easily– kind of shameful, isn’t it?”

Wukong rolled his eyes and flicked away Macaque’s tail. “It's your fault, I was resting waiting for you to return with the peaches, and yet you were gone and I was swept away. Shameful really, for a warrior so great to abandon his duty like that.”

“Oh I see– it’s my fault the ever venerable and great Sun Wukong decided he needed a little nap? I mean, I know you tend to laze about, but really– to allow you to be dragged to the underworld, tsk tsk,” Macaque shook his head. “You’d be so hopeless without me, bi bi.”

Wukong laughed. “Does that mean I can finally call attention to when I caught you snoring away when the Python Demon was wreaking havoc?”

“That was entirely your fault for keeping me awake for five whole nights, Sun Wukong, and you know this,” Macaque gave him a smirk.

“I am your king too, Macaque, and therefore never at fault,” Wukong caught sight of a flea on Macaque’s fur and plucked it out.

“Right, I almost forgot,” Macaque tsk-ed. “Careful peaches, if your head gets any bigger it won’t fit through the door.”

“Because you’re one to talk about pride,” Wukong sounded a little more annoyed than Macaque expected at that.

“Let’s just get home,” He resisted grumbling about it only a little. Wukong sighed, summoned his cloud, and the two of them flew off back to Flower Fruit Mountain at a much faster pace than just walking.

Macaque listened as they soared over mountains and volcanoes, heard some birds call and once they got close enough some chirps from monkeys.

It was something Macaque never really did and wasn’t fond of initiating, though sometimes Wukong would do it and he’d respond, but it wasn’t something he clung to. In general he didn’t cling to a lot of things except grooming and laying together and a lot of teasing.

Macaque nearly fell off the cloud when it came to a sudden jerk.

“Hey Peaches, watch the cargo,” He snapped, but Wukong silenced him by pulling out his staff.

“Someone’s here…” He said, not looking back, investigating the mountain, before separating the falls with his staff.

Wukong was correct, someone was there– a tall, old looking man with a beard that practically reached the floor and dressed in gold and white robes detailed with stars from the heavens. Macaque growled as he pulled out his own staff.

“Ah, Sun Wukong, you’re finally back. My name is Taibai Jinxing, I come from heaven to make you a proposition,” said the man. Wukong lowered his staff and hopped off the cloud while Macaque stayed in his defensive position.

“Gold Star of Venus, huh? Yeah I think I’ve heard of you– what’s the position?” Wukong put his staff all the way back in his ear.

Macaque scoffed to himself, “He isn’t actually thinking about taking this guy’s offer, right?”

Still, he watched carefully.

“That is for the Jade Emperor to decide, as he invited you to come and live there himself,” Taibai Jinxing gestured to the heavens.

The almighty monkey king laughed. “Took him long enough! Would’ve thought shooting laser beams through his house was enough, but if it takes breaking out of the underworld, then so be it.”

“Oh it was hardly just that, Sun Wukong. Come along, we can discuss all things with His Imperial Highness,” The deity began to levitate.

“Oh please, as if Wukong would leave this mountain paradise just to join a bunch of stuffy bureaucrats,” Macaque laughed to himself and shook his head before he noticed Wukong had already summoned his cloud once more.

“Wait, Wukong, you can’t just leave m– us-! What about the kingdom? The monkeys?” He tugged on his king’s sleeve.

Wukong looked at Macaque with an expression Macaque couldn’t read.

“Ah, surely you’re a bold enough warrior to care for them all. Also, I didn’t cross out just my name so maybe you can enlist the immortal monkeys to help you fight or something,” He swatted away his hand. “And besides, I know you already like to call yourself ‘king’. Perhaps this will be a chance to prove yourself to me, no?”

Macaque took a shaky step back.

“Fine,” He said, looking sharply into Wukong’s soft golden eyes.

“Knew you could do it,” Wukong patted his shoulder before turning to the heavenly figure. “Alright let’s go Taibai Jinxing.”

And then they were off.

And Macaque was alone in the pagoda.

Wukong didn’t even appear to look back.

And as Macaque listened, he didn’t so much as mutter his name…

Well then.

Macaque took an annoyed breath, running his fingers through his fur as he thought to himself.

Wukong was impulsive and distractible– surely he’d return within a week no doubt. This was just a vacation, a distraction from what really mattered and Wukong would be back soon enough. Besides, if Macaque did this right perhaps he too would be the official Monkey King and could finally force the inhabitants of the mountain to give him the respect he deserved.

Yes, yes– this wasn’t a betrayal, it was a short time away, a break, no different from when he’d go and hunt humans or prey on smaller demons.

This was a test, and Macaque was going to pass.

The Sun and Moon were equals in the celestial sphere.

.o0o.

Macaque ruled over Flower Fruit Mountain with an iron fist. Everyone was supposed to train from dawn till dusk all week days and on weekends they were to gather food for the upcoming week.

Unfortunately, the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain didn’t like that much, and basically started protesting en masse, and so Macaque said “fine we’ll see how much you like being kingless” and went and stayed in Wukong’s pagoda.

Nobody came to him.

Nobody groomed him.

Nobody shared their food with him.

Nope.

Instead, they all stayed downhill swinging on their peach trees and chirping the whole day long without a care in the world for how loud it could ring in all six of Macaque’s ears.

Not that he cared.

Not that it made him sometimes want to listen to the heavens, to see if Wukong was thinking of him as much as he thought of him–

Which wasn’t at all.

Macaque was supposed to prove himself– what was he doing moping like this.

When he called the Monkeys back up the mountain, a lot of them hesitated but he ordered with a reminder that it was Wukong himself who placed him here so a defiance of him was a defiance of Wukong, and so they eventually climbed on up.

He told them all he was going to be taking a leave to go and study the tao and other arts for himself, to work to better protect the rest of them.

And he did, using Wukong’s name and former alliances with demon kings to learn the art of shapeshifting, of invulnerability, and something he somewhat created on his own but started to perfect was the art of shadowplay.

It was an evolution of a light technique he learned while kind of sort of studying the tao, where he focused more on draining light than creating it, slowly able to melt whole bodies and objects through what he called shadow doors.

It did have one side effect though, turning his fur slowly dark and darker. Macaque didn’t care much about it, glamouring whenever he bothered returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, but even if he forgot no one brought it up when they brought him his peaches.

Sometimes he thought about hiding in the shadows in heaven– just to see what Wukong was up to. Macaque had apparently missed a day where he had gone back down and somehow managed to snag the title Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

As if that asshole needed more of an ego.

He wished he could’ve fought the Mighty Spirit God or Prince Nezha– these days he really felt like bashing in some heavenly skulls.

But no, apparently he had gone back and according to the other monkeys he hadn’t even said a word about Macaque or their arrangement where he was now their king.

Not that he cared. Wukong had better things, clearly.

And Macaque did too.

Like eating people, bashing in skulls and listening to the sounds of an empty pagoda as he was reminded over and over his body didn’t need sleep and didn’t like it without the soft touch of his Sun.

The Sun and The Moon– when one sets, another rises. Clearly the Sun has set into the Heavens and now it is the Moon’s turn to shine and earn the worship of others, and now that Macaque had much more power surely it would end much better than the previous time.

.o0o.

The monkeys certainly listened to him more this time, to the point where it felt like maybe if you squinted they could sort of count as an army. The immortal ones were useful as Wukong had mentioned before he disappeared, so that was good.

But again, Macaque couldn’t be bothered to just stay on the mountain, and so after about 15 years or so, he continued to venture out and test out his new powers of mirroring and disappearing, especially on nearby villages. He left the immortals in charge telling them to train the others and that the Great Sage’s pagoda was off limits under penalty of his and Wukong’s wrath (a lie, but he didn’t want them sniffing around there).

He ventured far and wide for many years then, picking fights with mountain gods and no-name demons until suddenly it seemed like earth was just… out of gods.

It was the strangest thing– every deity for miles and miles and miles and miles was just– gone. Hell– even a good amount of demons were in hiding now too. Macaque was thankfully able to bang on the door of none other than the Bull Demon King and he begrudgingly took him in for answers out of respect for their mutual friend.

“So– why exactly is everyone getting the hell out of dodge right now? Doesn’t make sense– I’ve been getting really good at my mirroring– I wanted to test it out on the whole eastern mountain range,” Macaque bemoaned as he removed his scarf and gave it to one of the king’s servants.

“I believe our mutual friend, the Great Sage, has been causing quite a stir in heaven, from what I’ve heard from my– sources… I hear he’s fighting a whole heavenly army right about now” He said, snapping and ordering a servant to bring them tea.

That only made Macaque more angry. When the tea came he stirred his spoon, staring at his ever changing reflection with disgust. “You know, Wukong makes it sound so easy to just break in and out of heavenly places.”

The Bull Demon King laughed. “He has truly become a formidable foe. I’ve heard now that he has become immortal at least five times now.”

“What?! That’s– that’s insanity,” Macaque slammed his arms on the table, garnering a huff of warning from his host.

“You do know we are talking about Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, no?” He said, picking up his tea cup and taking a sip despite it still bubbling in his cup.

Macaque huffed and crossed his arms.

“Wukong, do you think you’ll ever teach me what Sobodhi taught you?”

“What, the transformations? You have a method all your own for that, no Subhodi needed.”

“No, I mean immortality, so zyu. I want to live forever like you will.”

Wukong sat up and started to groom Macaque. “I don’t know. It’s nice to know I’ll always be able to protect myself and that no demon or celestial being can really cause me harm, but I don’t know why you’d need it, you are already practically indestructible.”

“But I want to live as long as you do, bi bi. I want to be able to fight by your side until the universe itself burns out and it will be just the two of us in the darkness.”

Wukong laughed a little. “There would be more than just the two of us, Macaque. Plenty of celestial beings and demons are immortal, but I suppose I see your point. I don’t think I’ll ever be as good a teacher as Subhodi but perhaps the next time I find a way to immortality I will share it with you.”

Macaque smiled. “Thank you, peaches.”

“I suppose we are,” He muttered.

The Bull Demon King sighed. “I would offer to spar with you, Friend Macaque, but I have business of my own to attend to– as I’m pretty sure you do too on account of Wukong supposedly leaving you in charge of his domain. In fact, you should probably be there helping him fight the heavenly armies before it’s too late and he’s destroyed them all and made himself the new Emperor of Heaven,” The enormous bull laughed at that last joke.

Macaque thought about it before nodding. “I suppose you are right, Bull Demon King. The tea was–” he glanced at his full, bubbling and steaming cup– “lovely, but I must be off to go defend Flower Fruit Mountain. Until we meet again,” He winked before standing and allowing himself to fall backward into a shadow that brought him a few miles from Flower Fruit Mountain.

He decided to let himself fly the rest of the way, imagining how bloody and intense the scene would be– Wukong against hundreds of thousands– perhaps millions of heavenly soldiers with the help of the monkeys he himself helped train (about 46 years ago). It made his cloud rush further and further until he was there and–

Nothing.

Sure there was plenty of celestial blood on the ground, and a few wounded monkeys gathering themselves, but there were no gods, no warriors, no emperors beheaded, and no Sun Wukong.

He landed on the blood stained grass, feeling it under his bare feet, and sat and listened to voices nearby.

“--That battle against the 36 thunder deities was nothing like it was with Erlang and his dog.”

“I heard his majesty fought Budha and won!”

“I bet he’s up in heaven right now making a throne next to– if not on top of the Jade Emperor’s throne.”

“Did you see his eyes? They’re redder than a ruby!”

“Who could focus on his eyes when Budha himself was here?!”

“I hope he’ll come back soon, I want to hear more tales of heaven.”

Hmph.

So Wukong fought with heaven not just once but twice in his absence and not once sent for him.

How wonderful and gracious his precious Sun Wukong was.

No matter, he would just go to the pagoda and ask him about it himself.

He quickly fell into a shadow once more and appeared right outside his and Wukong’s home– which surprisingly actually seemed untouched.

“Peaches, you home?” He called out.

No response.

“Man, and here I thought The Great Sage Equal to Heaven didn’t need to rest after battles, no he’s too strong, even when he was just Shi Hou,” He grinned, examining each room as he passed, slowly becoming more and more confused the more they continuously proved themself to be empty.

“Wukong?” Macaque was getting nervous. He gripped iron rails with a death grip and summoned his staff too for extra measure (though he didn’t know what exactly he planned to do with it).

Each room felt more empty than the next, as it was just as he had left it decades ago, minus shards of glass and bits of evidence of the great heavenly battle. When he got to their bedroom it too was empty, and that was when Macaque fully realized he had gone without telling him once again.

Great.

Just great.

Peachy, even.

Forgotten again, but what did Macaque care? He never needed that asshole, and neither did anyone else on this goddamn mountain.

He gathered his things from their shared room in a hurry, packing it all into a brown sac he tied sloppily before heading out, surprised to be greeted by a crowd of monkeys outside.

“Macaque! Where have you been?!”

“What happened to your fur?”

“Wait, that’s Liu Er Mihou?”

“He has six ears doesn’t he?”

“You missed two battles with heaven-!”

“Monkey King was really mad you took his place but left–”

“We can’t find him! Do you know where he is?”

Too many words were being thrown at his face to care about, so Macaque just shrugged up his sack again and walked through the crowd, ignoring the fact they started to follow with their persistent questions, glamoring his ears away.

“Where are you going?”

“Are you going to find him?”

“Yeah! Are you gonna find him?”

“I’m not going to find Wukong!” Macaque snapped, turning to face the startled crowd. “I’m leaving and don’t expect me to come back.”

A few of the elder and immortal monkeys rolled their eyes while the younger looked at him in confusion.

“W-well who will look for our King?” one brave monkey spoke up.

“I don’t care, and honestly neither should any of you,” He spat, causing some of them to gasp. “Wukong clearly doesn’t give a shit– he didn’t need to fight here and yet he used many of you as collateral damage in his foolish attempts to claim glory for himself. He likely has just run off again to abandon the real workers, the true warriors of this mountain. If you have any self respect left, leave this mountain or at least abandon hope in Sun Wukong because he won’t be back for a very, very long time and even if he does, he sure won’t be thankful.”

Silence spread over the crowd as everyone exchanged glances, questioning his honesty. Macaque stood his ground with a smirk.

“Well, I know I won’t leave. Wukong has always protected us, and he’s a far better leader than you’ve ever been! All you’ve done is run off and when you return you demand all of us to be at your beck and call! Frankly, I’m glad to be rid of you,” A particularly tall monkey– ah yes, one of the immortals– said. Macaque rolled his eyes.

“Don’t come looking for me when another fifty years pass and your precious king is nowhere to be found,” He waved, summoning a shadow door.

“Don’t worry, we won’t.”

Macaque huffed and fell through.

The King was the Sun and the Warrior the Moon; one rose, another fell, neither needed. The sun could shine on its own after all, he didn’t need anyone else or any other goddamned stars– he was selfish and an egomaniac. The Moon was fine on it’s own, it didn’t need the sun, so what if it didn’t shine without it– the moon would be there anyways.

.o0o.

He didn’t know where exactly he was when he left the shadow realm– he didn’t really have a place in mind. He had no idea where Wukong was and therefore was unsure of where he could avoid him. He pondered crashing at a demon king’s place, but something told Macaque he needed to find his own place.

He decided to just kind of fuck around for awhile, transforming in to various animals, fighting and killing and eatting a villager here and there or a weary traveller, all sorts of things.

Time passed in a great illusion. He stopped keeping track of the passing days and weeks, eventual months and days and years– something he knew happened to immortals and the “cannot die unless killed” group eventually but when he noticed it it struck him as odd– especially because it meant he now had no idea how mad he should precisely be at Wukong for not looking for him.

He caught glimpses of signs of change when he would wander in the once small village now a bustling civilization that wasn’t too far from Flower Fruit Mountain Macaque often returned to for no real reason. He’d return every once in a while and it turned from a few small homes to places with plazas and bathhouses and elaborate gardens and festivals he’d never heard of before.

That meant centuries were passing.

Well good. It meant he was keeping up without Wukong– he was coping greatly. He had mastered his art of shapeshifting, puppetry and all other shadow tricks. It had turned all his fur to a pitch black now, but he didn’t miss the old pale colors– he blended in much better now and was able to kill much more efficiently.

Yes, Macaque had truly become a thing of terror.

HIs shapeshifting, puppetry and manipulation skills had proved most advantageous when it came to his hunt. He was able to strike and kill and draw blood with such swiftness he knew even Wukong didn’t have.

He now had a name– a reputation– a bedtime story you told children and legends of his mimicry and his sharp fangs and his powerful hearing. He even saw some of the art made of him– bloody eyes and teeth half clouded in shadow, the other half in the appearance of another villager.

This suited him just fine.

To be feared was better than to be loved anyways.

People feared the night and the moon and shadows with it. They worshiped and gossiped about the Sun and his whereabouts, about how he personally fought with almost every single deity in the celestial sphere and must either be the new emperor or demolished entirely, or perhaps is somewhere else being punished for his many crimes.

The Moon didn’t care for what the Sun did anyway– it was better if they were gone anyway, regardless of the light it still pulled the tide and released wolves and could do plenty in its own right.

.o0o.

Over five hundred years passed.

Macaque did make a place of his own, a place far out west– a pagoda of darkness, of shadows and whispers and of insanity for those unprepared to go within. A hall of mirrors, a theater for shadow puppets, and plenty of space for those foolish enough to go inside to wander before they realize they’re trapped with the legendary six eared Macaque, and nobody survived that.

However, while out and about getting some nice fresh air, Macaque heard a voice like nails on a chalkboard.

Sun Wukong.

Burning hatred consumed his soul as he pondered just leaping down upon him and tearing him to shreds, when he noticed he was with a group, and a rather odd one at that.

A tall, burly ocean demon towered over most of the group, his skin a greenish-blue like of the ponds and rivers by flower fruit mountain. There was a very angry pig demon, wielding a rake and looking pretty pissed at– yes, there was Wukong. He was wearing strange clothes with a curious circlet on his head. There was also a rather mighty looking white horse with some old monk– wait a minute…

Macaque squinted and used shadows to get a little closer to the bickering group to see what was up and– holy fucking shit– it was the reincarnation of Golden Cicada with–

Why the fuck was he with Wukong??? Then again, it seemed like it wasn’t lasting, as everyone was pretty pissed at him. The monk recited a sutra, which caused Wukong to wither and cry out in agony.

Now that brought a smile to Macaque’s face.

“Gah–! After all this time?! Master, I-i have been nothing but loyal a-and we have been through so much now– Why are you still doing this?!” Wukong cried out.

Wukong a slave? Now that was something Macaque needed to see.

“Loyal?! You’ve abandoned our master and mission about fifty times so far! Master, let’s banish Wukong again. We are so close, we don’t need his flimsy morals to bring an end to the pilgrimage now,” The pig man spoke.

“Flimsy?! Master, surely you know I only do what I can to protect you and this mission, please don’t do this again– we are so close, after all.”

“Wukong…” The monk took a deep breath. “You killed a mortal– a human. You knew from the very beginning such things wouldn’t be allowed, it goes against everything this pilgrimage stands for.”

“Master, spare Brother Wukong, it was the heat of the moment– a relapse, even. They were bandits and they were attempting to kill us, after all.” The big one spoke next.

Brother? Psh, Sun Wukong was brothers to no one.

“You cannot destroy an entire village like that though, Sun Wukong, you know this. There is to be trial, a fair judgment– you cannot dictate whatever you desire just because you’re powerful enough to never face the consequences,” The monk clutched his staff tightly.

The sutra’s effects must’ve worn off as Wukong stood.

“Then I suppose you’re going to give me the consequences again, despite the tightening spell being plenty painful already?”

The monk glanced at his other disciples. The tall one stood his ground to defend Wukong, but the pig man still seemed huffy.

“I am just saying Friar Sand, if it were either of us we would certainly be banished already,” The pig man muttered under his breath but of course Macaque heard it perfectly.

“I… I’m sorry, Sun Wukong, but… but we are almost at the scripture and I… I will not sacrifice any of my morals now.”

“Master, I am begging for you to consider otherwise, please!”

Wukong was now on his knees willingly.

“Oh Sun Wukong, what a husk you’ve become,” Macaque smiled to himself.

“I am sorry, Pilgrim Sun, but as the Great Tang Monk and the leader of this journey I am banishing you from this group once again.”

Wukong stood slowly.

“So be it then.”

It was then Macaque got a glimpse of those red eyes he had only heard about in rumor– and they were certainly mighty and fierce. Perhaps that’s why the monk doesn’t seem to trust him.

Wukong summoned his familiar golden cloud, tears in his eyes.

“For your own sake, I hope you come to your senses soon, or that you will remain safe for the rest of the journey.” He said bitterly before looking at the tall one.

“Thank you for always fighting for me, Friar Sand, I will never forget your kindness.” He said, before immediately flying away.

The remaining group members stood around for a while, before heading more westward and that was when Macaque started to form a plan.

It was time for the Moon to rise again.

.o0o.

Macaque stalked the pilgrims from the shadows, waiting for an opportune moment to strike. Thankfully, the Great Tang Monk was hungry, and asked his pilgrims to go for food while he stayed by the campfire. Of course they obeyed (the idiots) and that was when Macaque got behind him, summoned his staff, and gave him a proper whack on the head, knocking him clean out.

He pondered eating the monk for a moment, but he cared more about his revenge against Wukong than he did about immortality now. He then summoned a great sack and stole all of their supplies, save for the ones that Sand and Pig guy had.

He made sure in particular to snatch the travel receipt so their journey would certainly fail– whatever it was. He made sure to make it clear that it was all the work of Sun Wukong, going so far as to transform into him to leave the perfect tracks behind, before he leapt into the shadows and disappeared to Flower Fruit Mountain.

… The place had a much weirder vibe than he recalled, but it had been over five hundred years, so who really knows. He went to a very public spot to wait for one or both of the Pilgrim’s arrivals. He ordered all monkeys away with a harsh snap that made all of them instantly abandon him, though he noticed looks of judgement and curiosity from the same goddamned immortal ones that were still fucking here for some goddamn reason.

He waited alone for many days, before the tall pilgrim– Sandy or something– arrived.

“Brother Monkey! There you are, I’ve been searching far and wide with many, many questions– why would you take our things? I know you are upset, as am I, but you said you wished us safety on our journey and it’s– well, it’s all rather confusing.”

“Confusing?” Macaque chuckled. “What’s confusing? I don’t care about you three– er, four if I’m counting the horse.”

“If you are counting the horse–? Brother Monkey, what has gotten into you, I beg for you to answer truthfully,” The demon seemed genuinely heartbroken.

“I don’t care, Friar Sand. All you people have done is toss me aside and you know what? I have decided that I am powerful enough to finish this all on my own anyways– you all can just crawl back into whatever hellhole you crawled out from. I will claim the glory for myself.”

The taller demon shook his head. “Brother, you know as well as I Buddha will not just hand you the scripture, they must be given to the chosen seeker– our master.”

“Oh please, I’m well aware, and in fact, already have a plan,” Macaque grinned, creating perfect clones of all other members of the group, except much quieter.

“Brother, I cannot allow you to do this,” Friar Sand summoned a trident.

Macaque laughed.

“I’d like to see you try,” he grinned, falling backward into a shadow while the clones attacked the blue demon.

Macaque watched from high above in a tree as the pilgrim fought and struggled, but by some miracle he managed to destroy the clone of himself.

“Wukong! Come out here and face me!” He shouted, pushing back an attack from the clone of the monk.

“See, I would buddy, but… I really don’t give a shit,” Macaque shadow traveled behind him, disappearing as fast as he had come though so the pilgrim couldn’t land a hit.

“Gah– I see you’ve truly fallen back onto your path of darkness then. Well– I-i–” The pilgrim’s face lit up at a thought, which made Macaque angry, but he quickly forgot that when he retreated entirely.

After that, he decided a take a stroll through the peach gardens still in the form of the Monkey King, eating the heavenly* fruits with a certain fondness.

*a metaphorical heavenly taste, of course

However, in no less than a couple hours he heard someone arriving at the mountain– someone familiar–

Wukong.

Macaque instantly shadow traveled closeby. “Friar Sand, I see you’ve returned and– who is this imposter you are with?!”

“An imposter? HA! Anyone could see that disguise of yours any day– whoever you are,” Wukong glared at him, summoning his staff.

“I hope you’ve prayed to even a sliver as skilled as I am,” Macaque grinned, summoning his own.

“Bah!” Wukong instantly went in for the attack.

The battle was great and climatic– mountains were destroyed, towns torn apart as Macaque purposefully tried to direct him into them, but Wukong forced him higher and higher into the clouds. They exchanged very little conversation, as Macaque just tried to enjoy seeing the Great Sun Wukong, Stone Monkey King with a heart of similar rock bleed.

Wukong punched and whacked him with his staff, and Macaque did similarly, slightly impressed but then overwhelmingly proud and cocky of his perfected mimicry– not a single person could tell who was who.

“Wukong! Guanyin– remember!”

Macaque and Wukong nodded, much to Wukong’s annoyance, as now both of them focused on dragging the other even more upward until eventually they were at the bodhisattva’s island.

“Ah, Sha Wujing, Sun Wukong and Sun Wu–…kong…” Guanyin stared at the identical monkeys in disbelief.

Macaque gasped. “I cannot believe– there is no creature on earth who could mimic so excellently as to blind a bodhisattva before! My lady, please, I beg of you to strike down the false Wukong, he seeks to cause you and the pilgrimage harm,” he got onto his knees.

“No-! Guanyin, it is he who is the fake! I have been at your side for many hours– many earth days, I beg of you to understand I would never steal the pilgrim’s things, it is unlike me!”

“Guanyin, do not listen to him. We do not know how well his mimicry skills work– for all we know he summoned a hair clone to do all that work for him while he was distracting you!” Macaque swore.

“My dear Sun Wukong, I do hope you’ll forgive me for what I’m about to test,” Guanyin took a deep breath before reciting the tightening spell, causing Wukong and Macaque (in fake, of course) to fall over and cry in agony. Guanyin immediately stopped at both of their responses.

“That’s– That’s impossible! There’s only one fillet, right my lady?” Friar Sand asked.

“That is correct, and only one sutra…” Quanyin looked genuinely disturbed as Macaque and Wukong gained their composure.

“You dastardly fiend, if we were not in such sacred grounds I would tear you limb from limb,” Wukong growled.

“I feel very much the same,” Macaque growled back.

“Wukong, Friar Sand– take the imposter to the celestial realm, perhaps those who know Wukong from the many battles in heaven will know him by his technique,” She ordered the three of them.

“Gladly, my lady,” Macaque grinned, excited to show off his skill once more, grabbing Wukong’s arm who pushed away to try and grab his before Sandy grabbed both of them and separated them onto different arms before bowing to Guanyin and heading to the celestial realm.

Once at the gates, the blue demon tried to seek a way in, but both Wukong and Macaque didn’t have the patience, figuring the best way to get an audience was to simply break in, and there they would perhaps be able to tell the imposter.

The pair fought all the way to the Jade emperor’s throne, where Wukong and the sand guy explained the situation, with Macaque budding in to interrupt his sentences. The Jade emperor grew nervous at the mention of Guanyin not being able to tell them apart, and asked the armies of heaven if her theory proved true, but none of them knew if one or the other was the imposter.

The emperor ordered for a mirror of truth to be brought to the room, but alas, Macaque was so powerful it fooled even that.

Now that made Wukong furious (totally as well as Macaque because he was totally the true Wukong).

Wukong leapt at Macaque, instantly punching him through the jade palace, all the way through the celestial sphere and back down to earth. Macaque laughed and fought back just as vigorously.

“Heaven, don’t you see how consumed with rage this one is? Surely I’ve become more than this– I’ve learned many a great thing on the pilgrimage and this imposter surely has learned nothing,” He glared, a light flashing in his eyes to Wukong.

The flash made Wukong hesitate a moment, and that was when Macaque took his chance and used his staff to send Wukong crashing down to the earth, crashing in a gigantic crater.

“Pilgrim Sun– what is going on– where is Friar Sand– what the– why are there two? Why are you fighting?! Stay back!” The great Tang monk pointed his staff at the two of them as Macaque floated down gently.

“Master,” Macaque went on his knees. “I have returned to you to apologize, for this false Wukong here has taken your supplies and halted the journey, something I never once desired to happen,” he then summoned the sack of their things and placed it humbly before the monk.

“Don’t– don’t listen, Master,” Monkey struggled to get up, coughing from the dust and debris. “He is the liar– he knows nothing of what he speaks about,” he held his side and walked over.

“Woah– there’s two of them now?!” The pig pilgrim joined the conversation. “That can’t be good.”

“Yes, apparently,” The monk sighed, before getting an idea, reciting the tightening sutra just as Guanyin had, causing very similar results, causing an embarrassingly fast halt.

“I apologize, Pilgrim Sun, I-i thought that would work…”

“You always do,” Wukong muttered, standing up. Macaque just scoffed.

After that, none other than Guanyin showed up again.

“Apologies for my lateness, but I have a suggestion– how about we go to the underworld and check the ledgers of the dead– perhaps they will be able to find the imposter’s name in their books,” She suggested.

Upon agreeing, Wukong and Macaque fought their way down to the underworld, where Quanyin and the other pilgrims explained the situation.

They searched far and wide across all ledgers, but Macaque’s name wasn’t in any of them.

Hm… Well that was interesting, he supposed.

“Well then– if neither the Tang Monk nor the armies of heaven nor Guanyin nor the Jade Emperor are able to tell the false Wukong from the truth then I suppose our only remaining choice is Buddha himself.

Uh oh.

“An excellent idea,” he grinned at Wukong for assurances.

Quickly, the pilgrims and Guanyin headed westward with great pace, arriving in what felt like mere seconds.

“Man– why’d we have do all that walking if we could’ve just done this the whole time,” The pigman grumbled upon their arrival, receiving a look from the Tang Monk.

Upon their entrance, Macaque could practically feel the Buddha’s eyes scorching into his soul, but he kept his composure.

After all, he had already fooled countless gods, what was one enlightened bozo to the rulers of the heavens and underworld?!

“Guanyin, my dear friend, it is good to see you, as well as you Sun Wukong.” The Buddha smiled kindly at Wukong.

Fuck.

“Oh Enlightened One, it is an honor to be in your presence,” The monk and his disciples, as well as Guanyin bowed, though Macaque didn’t until Wukong started to as well.

“Ah, Tang Sanzang, I’ve been expecting you. However, we must deal with this fake Sun Wukong first.”

“O-of course, your enlightened-ness,” The monk bowed even more.

“Bodhisattva, do you know of the Four Spiritual Primates?” Buddha asked Guanyin.

“I do. There is the stone monkey Sun Wukong, the Red Red-Buttocked Baboon, The Bare-Armed Gibbon, and lastly the Six Eared Macaque,” She recalled.

Fuck.

“You remember quite correctly, Guanyin. These four are often referred to as the Four Monkeys of Havoc, and it is not hard to see why based on our very own Wukong, is it not?” Buddha teased Wukong, who blushed a little.

“The Stone Monkey has powers over form and shape, he recognizes the seasons, discerns the advantages of earth, and is able to alter the course of planets and stars. The Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey has knowledge of yin and yang, understands the affairs of humans, is adept in its daily life and is able to avoid death and lengthen its life as they so please. Tongbi Gibbon can seize the Sun and Moon, shorten a thousand mountains, distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars. And the Six Eared Macaque?”

Buddha looked right at him.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck–

“The Six Eared Macaque can hear for thousands of miles, discernment of fundamental principles, knowledge of past and future, and a comprehension of all things. On top of that though, he has gone and gained further abilities, able to melt into shadows and create perfect copies of those he witnesses and knows all about.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the pair.

“Our imposter is none other than the macaque, and he will attempt to flee very, very soon,” He gestured towards Macaque.

And his disguise was instantly gone.

Fuck.

“Macaque,” Wukong growled, slowly going into a fighting stance.

Macaque started to panic– he could feel everyone closing in around him, and so slipped through a shadow, far, far away, but Wukong managed to somehow follow him through it, and when they appeared on the other side in a forest, Wukong immediately began attacking with even more power and fury that before.

“Haha-! Look who’s finally not holding back after all,” Macaque tried to keep his composure as he ran for dear life.

“I’m not playing any more games, Macaque. You abandoned your post, you abandoned your family, and then you attacked the pilgrims– for that you will pay with your life,” Wukong picked up a tree and threw it at Macaque, who narrowly avoided it by transforming into a snake and back into his regular form again.

“Oh you’re one to talk of abandonment Wukong-! You didn’t even hesitate to go to heaven when you were offered– you thought nothing of the monkeys until I said something,” Macaque growled, shadow traveling right behind him attempting a quick attack, but Wukong sensed it and blocked.

“I returned three times, Macaque, and you were gone every time. I gave you a task– to prove yourself worthy of something I knew you always wanted and yet you failed me repeatedly!” Wukong shouted, kicking him down, but Macaque just went through a shadow door again and went high in a tree.

“You are not innocent in this, Wukong. You abandoned me for my own pursuits so I sought companionship and power elsewhere, can you really blame me?” He snarled.

Wukong zipped up the tree with inhumane speed. “I returned and you left the mountain in a state of collapse and ruin. Thousands died when they were supposed to be under your care, Macaque. You said you would care so I did not worry, but you failed me,” he spat quietly.

Macaque attempted to strike him with his staff but was blocked. “Wukong, I loved you more than anything else in the world and yet you left for a place you hated and immediately began to destroy! How low you must have thought of me–!” Macaque kicked him, but Wukong turned into a bird and flew to a higher branch before jumping down with his staff for a head strike Macaque barely blocked in time.

“Macaque, we were not meant to be– especially not as we were. I have grown over the past five hundred years– I have found a new family. I had thought perhaps you too would change as you cared for Flower Fruit Mountain but the years have only made you bitter, immature and cruel,” The stone Monkey said calmly as Macaque stepped back to breathe.

“You cannot say that you don’t love me Wukong. You swore you’d always– this is no different from a sparring match of our past-!”

“Macaque, we fought constantly. Everything was a competition– you always wanted to prove you were better than me and attempted to take my place,” Wukong sighed. “We were not meant to be– all we do is hurt one another.”

“All I wanted was to be your equal, peaches– to sit by your side as we burned the whole world down together–!” Macaque growled as he went back into the fight.

“The world is too good to be destroyed– I see that now Macaque–! And perhaps if you were not so stuck in the past you could see that too,” Wukong huffed, pulling some hairs and summoning an army of clones, which Macaque matched with his own.

“If I am stuck in the past it is because you left me there–! I am the monster of your own creation! I am your darkness, your wickedness you wished so hard to forget, but I’m still here! And I will always be here, waiting and itching you on until you finally learn to stop fucking hiding!!!” Macaque shouted, unsure of which was the right Wukong now.

“I apologize for leaving, Macaque, but this bitterness is something you are choosing. It has been over five hundred years– there are many others who could have filled my void, Macaque, and yet you chose hatred and wickedness instead,” The true Wukong evaporated a Macaque clone before glaring at him.

“I didn’t want anyone else–! I wanted you!” Macaque’s voice cracked at that.

Wukong sighed.

“I was foolish when I was young, Macaque. I did abandon everyone, and you should not want a person who did something like that to you,” Wukong said, stopping the clone army and stepping towards Macaque.

Macaque stopped him too, though he didn’t realize it.

“B-but you swore–”

“And I lied about a thousand things. Macaque, you must recognize this is not healthy for either of us. You must move on or pay for your crimes,” The King summoned his staff. “I have a new purpose now– a new family, as I said.”

“Some family– a monk who doesn’t hesitate to torture you with migraines because that Pig guy eggs him on,” Macaque scoffed.

“I’ve broken many rules, Macaque. I’ve a reputation of chaos and it doesn't help when shapeshifters like you make me look worse than I’ve already been,” Wukong glared.

“I don’t have time for further argument, Macaque. Will you choose moving on, or punishment?” He pointed his staff.

Macaque glared. “You can’t.”

“You’re right, I can’t,” Wukong sighed, before smirking and pointing behind. “But he can.”

Macaque barely had any time before he realized he had been talking to a clone and the real Wukong hurled his staff and—

Right through the chest, Macaque was impaled.

And he was in the underworld, locked tightly in chains.

The Sun had risen again, after banishing the Moon.

.o0o.

Time in the afterlife wasn’t something anybody bothered to keep track of, so Macaque couldn’t tell if he’d been dead for an hour or centuries, but when he started hearing whispers in a far off corner of his prison, he wondered if it was possible for the dead to go insane.

The whisper didn’t stop though, it kept nagging his name and attempting to grow louder and louder.

“Look lady– could you can it?? We’re dead, no chit chatting will change that,” He said, crossing his arms, his chains clinging.

The whisper laughed.

“Liu Er Mihou… I am no mere ‘lady’-- I am someone very, very powerful,” She chuckled. “I am the Lady Bone Demon, and I’ve come to make you a proposition.”

Suddenly the woman appeared in his cell– with long and flowing black hair and a dress of pure white. She would’ve looked like any other spirit, if it weren’t for a skeletal structure’s faint glow under her skin.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?” He rolled his eyes– he was fed up with demons and spirits or whatever the fuck.

“I want to bring you back to the mortal realm and free you of your chains,” She smiled almost too sweetly. All six of Macaque’s ears perked up.

“I’m… listening…” he said.

She laughed.

“You and I both know how wretched the world is– we could start over with you and Sun Wukong reunited and ruling planets and stars together as you always wanted as we reshape earth to become what we deem it should be,” She said, getting closer.

The name of his ex caused a chill down his spine.

“I guess you’re right, but how exactly are you supposed to free me if you’re also down here?” Macaque asked.

The lady patted his head. “I am not entirely dead as you are. I am merely trapped, unable to fully wake until somebody– you will set me free and help me achieve equilibrium.”

“So… to be clear… you only have powers over life and death down here?” Macaque asked.

“Yes, I am unable to reach my full potential without a host and without being freed, though my manipulation can grow if you follow my instruction,” She explained.

“Then you won’t be able to catch me if I run,” Macaque grinned.

“That sounds like a deal, Lady Bone Demon– you have my word, I will help you escape your curse if you bring me back to life,” he offered his chained hand.

“Then it is agreed,” The Lady Bone Demon smiled, her hand lighting with a blue flame that was disturbingly cold to the touch– to the point it felt like frostbite more than of flames, but as soon as that was done, Macaque blinked and he was…

Back.

He was…

Alive.

He reached into his pocket and found a little communication thingy, no doubt courtesy of the demoness.

It lit up with instruction, and he noticed a key in the ground with a pattern unlike anything he’d ever seen.

He tossed the communicator to the ground and headed east.

He didn’t care for her– he wanted revenge on that bastard who left and killed him.

No matter what it would take, he was going to get back on him, to make him feel an inkling of pain and sorrow he caused him.

He didn’t know if any of his stupid family was alive, but if they were then those would be his target.

He was going to destroy Wukong’s family one by one by one until it was him all alone and then Macaque would make him pay more than he ever had before.

The Sun could not stay up forever, and it looked like an Eclipse was on the horizon.

I've been meaning to ask about the Sleeping Sun AU! Mostly I was wondering if you could describe the different ways specific characters would hibernate. Like, do they have set routines they have gotten accustomed to over the centuries or is it possible someone could just go "eh this is fine" and then just start hibernating whenever and need people to cart them away before they get hurt because they chose the worst place to do so?

This is such a good question!!

Okay so like I mentioned before, there’s a couple of hibernation instincts that overarch above all magic users/demons.

That being the urge to eat a big warm meal, collect soft things and put them into the safe spot you’ve chosen, take care of those around you (especially if they’re younger), and gather shiny trinkets aka important stuff into a pile nearby the safe spot for safekeeping.

And you’ll notice I keep mentioning ‘safe spots’ when talking abt hibernation. A boiled down version is a place where a person/group designate as the place they go to sleep. Before hibernating there, it’s usual to put up a huge amount of protection spells and pillows in it beforehand yada yada

most people feel the urge to hibernate in their safe spots and it feels wrong to not do so. But shit happens. glances at the IKEA incident.

some peoples hibernation is off and sometimes you’re on the run and just have to do it anyways. It sucks but hey, it works.

OKAY ONTO MY FAVORITE BIT!!

What each character is like just before hibernation!

MK ,when faced with hibernation instincts, gets a tad snappy. (“A tad” that’s a lie he turns into a grumpy monster)

All of MK’s sass and annoyance all come boiling up before he hibernates

Macaque says one off thing and MK looks him dead in the eyes and flips him off.

Macaque is appalled.

MK’s also the type to quietly come up to you with glowing eyes, drape himself over you and fully fall into hibernation on your shoulder.

Wukong

HAHAHA

oof

Because of not hibernating for hundreds of years but getting the sleep debt sort of fixed, Wukong has what I call “sleepies.”

Sleepies are what Wukong experiences right before he hibernates due to the previous neglect. (He also does so monthly.)

Wukong gets clumsy, clingy, and borderline territorial. He’s not exactly in his right mind when he gets sleepie, which leads to shenanigans.

Mei

SUN. PUDDLES.

Mei’s dragon instincts start poking around during this time and she naturally wants to find a comfortable amount of warmth to sleep near

One time they found her nearby the sage spot sleeping in a sun puddle.

Pigsy

The man cooks like there’s no tomorrow. Like I said before, a warm meal is one of the instincts you wish to fulfill. And when I tell you that everybody in the house knows Pigsy needs to hibernate before he does.

They have to force him to go sleep some of the time.

Tang

Tang started needing to hibernate after he began using magic more frequently. He had no idea what was happening at first until MK complained about how off he felt just before hibernating. Everything clicked after that.

Tang is usually chill and hibernates with Pigsy every chance he gets.

Sandy

Cat cuddles, pillow fort and tea. he knows how to take care of himself.

Macaque

Okay, so It’s very common for demons to have a slight shift in personality before sleeping and it’s no different with Macaque.

Except that he hates his shift with a burning passion.

You see, before hibernation, Macaque gets skittish. And very much so.

He can’t help it, so he usually hides out somewhere where he can’t be found and waits for the gang to go to sleep normally so he can sneak into the kitchen and get stuff for his hibernation.

Macaque jumps at everything during this time.

He usually slips away to his safe spot no problem during these moment…but most of this AU takes place on a ship. So it’s kind of a no go.

Unlike Wukong’s (who laughs about it with them) nobody ever makes fun of Macaque’s sleepies. It’s too personal to him, too genuine of an insecurity to ever joke about.

Also! Bonus content! Macaque has an IKEA bear that he has with him usually when he hibernates. It helps with the skittishness when he can wrap himself around something soft and bury his face into it until he falls asleep.

(Her name is Night Knight and he loves her a lot.)
