#He kinda reminds me of Monkey King here

[quitealotofsodapop]

Nezha and Ao Bing (Nezha 2019) meet Yunxiang and F***boi (Nezha Reborn).

Nezha thinks his reincarnation is pretty cool, and while Yunxiang doesn't hate the kid, he has a moment of "Oh. So that's why people hated me."

The dragon boys, on the other hand....

(ノ｀Д´)/ ヽ( `皿´ )ﾉ

Little gremlin 2019!Nezha is just asking a million questions cus;

2019!Nezha: "Your armor looks kinda dorky- whoa! There's vents for your flames!? And you have a metal horse-carriage-thing that goes so fast you could die if it stops wrong!? I changed my mind - future me is so cool!!" Yunxiang: "Um... thanks?? Sweet buddha no wonder the gods had their hands full with this kid."

(meanwhile with the dragons)

Reborn!Ao Bing: "Disgusting. How we ever lost to that demon is beyond me." 2019!Ao Bing: "...that demon is my best and only friend." Reborn!Ao Bing: "Wow... past me must be a real loser to have a monkfish-shaped 3 year old as his only friend." Both Dragons: *loud cat-fight noises ensue*

2019!Ao Bing was raised by a big cat demon after all. He also wouldn't take kindly to Reborn!Ao Bing's treatment of the kitten (im still sad about that wtf) in the New Gods film.

For the extended Wukongverse too...

Nezha: "Why is your Monkey King old and gray?" Yunxiang: "What does the Monkey King look like to you?" Nezha: "Tall and ginger. And with a horse's face!" Dasheng, from the next room with the other SWKs: "HEY! I heard that!"

The different Ao Guangs are also fighting cus

2019!Ao Guang: "You had the control over nearly a kingdom, and yet that wasn't enough!? My people cannot even leave the seafloor due to the burden Heaven placed upon us!" NewGods!Ao Guang: "Skill issue." (another cat-fight breaks out) 2023!Dragon King, watching the fight: "I am totally not associating with those guys. Both have terrible aesthetics" LMK!Ao Guang and 2000sCartoon!Ao Guang: *wondering if they're the only normal dragons here*

Theres a def arguement over the different parents of the Nezhas who's the better father.

Yunxiang's dad kinda wins? Even though his kid is just a reincarnation. He's a little harsh, but he raised two sons on a mechanic's salary alone, and tended to one while he was in hospital. Kinda reminds me of Red Foreman.

When He Smiles.

This felt rushed... and it's short. I might edit it at some point, but no promises. Hope you enjoy!

___________________________________________________________

“Remind me why I’m here again?” you were tired and not in the mood, but…

“I missed you!” he grinned. 

You could never say no to this sunshine. That damned smile was your weakness and he knew it. He knew damn well that you could never say no to that smile and those eyes. The smile that makes the sun sweat and melts your heart into a puddle at your feet.  

“Right…” you sighed, but couldn't deny him. 

When he smiles, it's like the world finally makes sense and shit. Or maybe you're just desperately in love with him, who am I to say? We’ll leave it as that, only because it was true. Wukong was your everything, so it wasn't your fault that your boyfriend was a cheeky and adorable Monkey King. How could anyone not love him?

“Whatcha got there, (Y/n)?” his voice snapped you out of your thoughts, and you held up the doggie bag that you got for him.

“Oh, I got you some noodles from Pigsy’s,” you said and offered the bag to him, which he took with a childish glee you thought was absolutely adorable.

“Thanks! How’d you know I was starving?” he asked as he took out the bowls and immediately started scarfing down noodles. “You got some kinda boyfriend-sensing powers I should know about?” he teased with his mouth full. 

“Stop talking while you're eating, you'll choke,” you folded your arms and gave him a stern look. “You're also spitting on me and everything.”

“Oh, sorry,” he said and turned to walk back to the couch he was playing video games on. “Come sit with me.”

“I shouldn't,” you tried to decline. 

“Nonsense!” his tail wrapped around your torso. “C'mere,” he said as he picked you up and dragged you over to his side using his tail. All you could process was his tail around you, the connection with you and the floor being no more, then being plopped onto the couch beside him. 

“Wukong-” 

“Yeah?” he looked at you with a gentle smile. You felt that one in the pit of your stomach and felt your face turn red. 

How is he the most cutest thing ever?! No… why does he have to be the cutest thing ever?

“(Y/n)?” he tilted his head as he slurped his noodles. “Do you want some noodles?” he asked as he offered the bowl to you. 

“I ate before I came, it's all yours,”

“Sure you don't want any?”

“I'm sure,” 

His smile has made him get out of so much trouble with you. He was just such a cheeky little pest, you loved him so much, maybe even more than he loves you. Your heart always did skips when you see that smile, especially the one where it’s all teeth and his tail would sway behind him. 

“Suit yourself,” he shrugged, then continued to eat. 

“So what’s the real reason you asked me to come over?”

“Can't I call my girlfriend over to hang out?” he looked at you and that look in his eyes felt like gravity, it was the only thing keeping you grounded.

“Yeah, but-”

“Is something wrong?” he asked, wanting to get to the bottom of your strange behaviour. How on Earth could you tell him to his face that after all this time, his smile makes you breathless?

“Guess I just ate too much, is all,” you waved it off. 

“Oh,” he nodded, too focused on his food to go in-depth, mostly because he knew for sure that it wasn't anything life-threatening. The cheeky little monkey who had your heart didn't know the true power he had… or did he?

[kiwi413]

Heyyy so I have a itty bitty request for you if you don't mind! I was wondering if you could write something for a reader who's getting courted by the monkeys but just so happens to be MK's mom? 👀🕶️🤏

I absolutely love the way you write them and hope to see you around more often!

-💗

A/N: certainly, thank you for the kind words! I kinda got carried away with the length (also sorry I took so long)

Characters: Sun Wukong, Macaque, MK + female!Reader

Wukong

You didn't get along at first

You really didn't like this whole putting the world on the shoulders of your kid

however, after careful consideration, lots of stern talks with the great sage and puppy dog eyes (from both MK and his mentor) you decided to let MK keep training under the Monkey King

Your conversations with Wukong revolved around MK's progress and safety for a while

until one day it developed into more, such as his adventures from back in the day, where you worked, what happened between you and MK's dad, etc

as you got to know each other more and more, soon budding feelings began to rear their heads

When he realized this Wukong had conflicting feelings, to say the least

on one hand, you're a very nice person (not to mention attractive) and a perfect mom to MK

on the other hand, he's been alone for centuries, and he's a bit rusty

cue emotionally repressed monkey panic

after he's done having his moment, he pulls himself together and decides that he's gonna do this right.

So! he starts asking MK about you a whole lot more often

things like what sort of flowers you like, your favorite fruit your favorite color, if you talk about him at all

he thinks he's being subtle

he's not

thankfully, MK can be a bit oblivious

it only takes seeing the great sage in your kitchen one evening, looking at you a lovesick look while you laugh at something he said for MK to finally piece it together

MK.exe has stopped working

he feels weird about it at first but ultimately gives his approval to Wukong and becomes his wingman

Sometimes a family is you, your turned superhuman son, and your thousands of years old celestial monkey husband

Macaque

(before I begin, I simply have to mention that this reminds me of that one TikTok audio "come here you little jerk taste the back of my palm /but you ain't my daddy/ Nah but I'm doing yo mom")

this start is a 100 times rockier than Wukong's

You really don't like him for actively harming your son both mentally and physically

he's not very keen on you either, your mere presence alone makes it harder for him to manipulate MK

After the LBD incident, he tries to make up with you, for MK's sake

you're very hesitant, that is he apologizes for what he's done with the most genuine look you've ever seen on him.

reluctantly you give him a chance and find that he's actually a decent guy when he's not trying to kill your loved ones

you find his humor and sarcasm charming, and love it when he tells you stories with shadow puppets

he starts hanging around more often under the pretext that he's only doing it to please MK, but we all know that's not the only reason

he realized he had feelings for you when he was telling you a story and he glanced at you for a second only to see you with your attention focused solely on him with a soft smile on your pretty face

his heart skipped a beat and words got stuck in his throat

he quickly excused himself and teleported away, leaving you very confused

he rethinks his entire existence (aka emotionally repressed monkey panic 2, now with more edge!)

mentally adds up the pros and cons of getting attached™

you've been good to him thus far and he really likes MK so

congrats now you have a clingy emo monkey after you

he becomes way more physical and teases you way more often

has to hold back purrs and restrain himself from positively combusting when you return his affections

he may be smooth when he dishes them out but he can't handle being on the receiving end of things

MK doesn't catch on until he wins you over, and he finds out in the worst way possible

walking in on you two being affectionate with one another

he's a bit mentally scarred but he'll be fine, eventually

way more hesitant than he'd be with Wukong, but he comes around after you talk to him and he sees how happy Macaque makes you

he does tell the shadow demon that if he hurts you he better watch his back though

Macaque says he'd never dream to, but he gets the idea

Overall? all three of you can get used to this new family dynamic you've got going for yourselves

[itsabouttimex2]

Amazing job at writing the new part as always! It flows nicely and you can easily tell how familiar Macaque & MC without making him OOC. Honestly i admire your grasp at these characters and ability of doing something as complex as interactive series. I'm kinda curious how do you plan things and how far ahead but only if you want to share it ofc.

Going back to the actually piece- it actually made me look up the meanings of flowers despite the original thought of it only being because of the color association. Two first flowers have pretty easy and basic meaning. I can see why the edgy (/affectionate) mentor wouldn't want them near his home.

Freesia - friendship trust innocence

yellow roses - friendship, joy and similar stuff

The one choosen by Macaque are a little more interesting.

Tansies - immortality, resistance, "I declare against you", sometimes used in medicine

black dahlias - (warning of) betrayal, sadness, (not specified black ones: dignity, good luck, elegance)

I'm guessing the tansies are about him being bitter about the Wukong and their more practical use. Black dahlias could be about Monkey King but also some kind of foreshadowing depending on our choice. Or I'm reading into it too much.

Hopefully I'm not overthinking it or completely missing the point (and if i am, I'm really,really sorry). Just wanted to share it in case other readers didn't look it up + i know some people like to see their work analysed but if i'm going to far please let me know! Have a good day/night! :]

(Sorry for any mistakes and feel free to delete the ask)

Oh my god, thank you so much! That’s such a sweet thing to say! (Please never stop analyzing my work I put a lot of effort into it💜💜)

🌻🌻I’ll start with flowers: you are right on the money here. Freesia especially are bright and colorful blooms, coming in many different gorgeous colors. Yellow roses are just the same, bright and cheery and so similar to the sun.

And, given that freesia come in orange and yellow… it’s possible the potted plants were a living reminder of Sun Wukong that Macaque finally got sick of and ripped apart. Or he just took advantage of someone else shredding the innocent flowers and took something that Y/N worked hard on and changed it to his liking instead. (Written to be ambiguous as to which scenario occurred.)

Notably, the new flowers not only match his own personal feelings, but even his color scheme! Yellow, then red and black. Twice over do these flowers symbolize him, something he took and changed to make more suitable to his tastes and feelings.

But he’s not the one who takes care of them- no, it’s Y/N who is dedicated to seeing them grow.

His student tending and nurturing the flowers that represent Macaque, while Macaque destroys/allows the destruction of the flowers that represent his student. Huh. Funny.

Okay flower rant done.🌻🌻

Macaque is such an interesting character to write, given that there’s a spike of cruelty barbing out from almost every action he takes. I think a lot of people have forgotten that the man hasn’t had a redemption arc in canon- he displays zero regret for, say… manipulating and trying to kill MK. Or leveling the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Or assaulting Tang, a strict non-combatant. Or holding Mei’s life hostage.

He doesn’t feel bad for doing any of these. If he does, he’s keeping tight-lipped about it. No apologies. No direct atonement.

And even on the extremely rare circumstance that he’s being “kind”, like deciding to stop torturing MK in Shadowplay, it comes across as almost “I’m bored with you, you aren’t fun anymore.”

He’s not a good guy. So even with Y/N, who he genuinely does care for, there’s this level of manipulation.

Like, he calls Y/N adorable, which sounds nice… but there’s almost a level of victim-blaming to it. No matter how roundabout his words, Macaque basically says to his own student: “If you looked different, people wouldn’t bother you, so let me change the way you look.”

And they trust him enough to agree.

Or letting them cook in fear outside his door when he’s clearly near enough to open it, but dropping the act when they start to break down.

He’s such an interesting character to write ugh I love it.

I had a lot of the routes planned pretty far out, actually, and I’ll give a few examples of what was planned:

Spider Demon Y/N was sort of naive and excitable, but was going to mature/sour after realizing that their beloved queen was, in fact, the bad guy. They were going to have to come to terms with her necessary defeat and their own part in betraying her, as well as living on after you’ve cut ties to your family. Then, readers were going to be able to pick one other henchman to convince to join the heroes.

Dragon Y/N was going to have to both gain Ao Guang’s (their father) approval to live on the surface, and decide how they felt about MK possessing the Ruyi Jingu Bang. They fought using two strings of beaded pearls, utilizing them as whips and grappling hooks to maneuver around the battle field. Also, they hated Macaque. Genuinely throwing hands on sight if they saw that edgy rat.

Heir/Proxy Y/N was going to be a pretty miserable and clingy person, having spent most of their life alone on account of both the LBD and Mayor’s influence. Overcoming their fears and anxieties of being unlovable was going to be a massive part of the journey, learning to love themself and be loved in turn. They were going to have to learn to master the powers forcibly implanted into their body, trying to prevent themself from being sacrificed for power to aid LBD’s onwards path to ‘destiny’.

Ne Zha’s Y/N was going to be cute and polite, very excited to explore the mortal realm outside the grasp of their overprotective mentor/brother. They were also going to have to deal with the first two lotus princes (also overprotective) and Ao Bing, who served as a dear friend.

Sun Wukong’s Y/N was going to be his estranged child who was bitter over ML inheriting the staff instead of them. They were going to despise him for never training them, having to find masters and teachers elsewhere all across the world. In turn, he was desperately trying to make amends and reestablish a strong bond with his cherished progeny, hoping to reconnect eventually.

Also Mei was going to call Y/N “Broth-Face”.

sneek peek at the fic for theweirdhybrids wukongverse

@theweirdhybrid has given me permission to write a fic for their wonderful au where five different Wukong's end up in lmk. here is a sneak peek of said fic!! (hope you like it btw hybrid)

When Wukong awoke the next morning surrounded by many of his little monkeys in a cuddle pile he almost missed the sensations, opting instead to try and catch some more sleep before Mk would come and they would talk a lot of things out. However, in those moments when the sleep he was enjoying so much evaded him that the sensation of power really hit him causing his eyes to shoot open. Panicked he went straight for the relic room where the source of so much power was coming from. 

For a moment Wukong thought it was the relic, that it had somehow activated and now the inhabitants of the mountain would be in trouble. But when the monkey king actually saw what was causing such a spike his train of thought stopped completely, body frozen in place, and mouth agape with something akin to shock and horror painted on his face. Honestly, Wukong had to slap himself just to see if he was still dreaming because on the floor of his relic room were nine figures, five of which were monkeys… 

The first one his eyes scanned over was small, 4’ if that, brown fur covered him, and instantly he noticed that the same clothing that he was given by Guianyin and his master at the beginning of his journey were on him, the yellow tunic, blue tippet, tiger skin wrap that was around his waist, blue pants, and worst of all the fillet around his head. Seeing that thing practically made him sick to his stomach. 

The second was just as short, fur a much lighter almost yellowish colour, he seemed to have on a more armour-oriented garb with the phoenix plums on his head, red-yellow shoulder and thigh guards, an orange tunic, brown pangs, black boots and a green tippet. His appearance greatly reminded him of when he had just received his new wardrobe from the dragon kings after getting his staff. 

The third was tall, like really tall, his fur was a dark reddish-brown and he also wore journey clothing but much fancier, he had on a red kuapao that ended just before his knees it had gold trim and jade green shoulder embroidery, keeping the kuapao closed was the tiger skin wrap and a piece of black fabric tied as a sort of guodu belt, he had a black tunic, black pants and red wrappings around his shins as well as a fillet of his own. Again it made him sick, the memories trying to claw their way up from the depths of his head. 

The fourth one looked Lanky, with long arms, shortish legs, and red fur, honestly his proportions kinda through wukong for a loop. His clothing was ragged at best with a yellow tunic untucked and ripped at the bottom and sleeves, a grey sash keeping it shut, light blue pants, and leather shin guards. The chains around his wrists didn’t escape Wukongs eyes or the bags under his eyes. 

The fifth and final one looked the wildest out of them all, he was likely as tall as the third if not taller, with wild white fur on his head which kinda reminded wukong of a main, and the rest of the fur on his body was a light brown. Though it was kinda hard to see under his hot pink fitted suit, brown dress shoes, bangles, chains, and mask. Honestly, Wukong was kinda doubting this one was even a monkey until he sturred slightly (scaring the shit out of him) and his mask fell from his face revealing it slightly. 

Looking the five over both with and without the golden eyes Wukong was faced with an impossible situation… they were all him. Well definitely different versions of him if it wasn’t apartment by clothing (why would any version of him wear pink??), fur colour, and size. Trying not to have a crisis he turned his attention to the other four bodies in the room. 

One was definitely Liuer Minhuo, from the silver-white fur to the bloody SIX EARS! It was plain as day to see that this one was Mac. it unnerved him slightly, made his heart race and mind cloud with guilt some but he shoved those feelings off as he examined the child next to the lanky him. 

Instantly he could see that the kid was mortal and not that old so he made sure to check for injuries without waking the boy and when he made sure that he had none then Wukong allowed himself to take in his appearance. He had a shaved head, dull, dirty clothing, and seemed to be grasping for lanky him… Wukong moved him closer and watched as the kid curled into the lanky him sighing comfortably and the monkey visibly relaxed as soon as the child felt on him. 

Knowing the boy was taken care of Wukong turned to the young man in red. He could distinctly feel the presence of Nezha on him, he had spiky black hair, a dark red leather jacket, black jeans, brown shin-high boots, and he could even make out the sky ribbon around his arm underneath the jacket sleeve. Clearly, this was a version of Nezha from another world who came with a version of him. That would be interesting… 

Finally, there was the-

“Monkey!!” 

“HOLY FUC-” 

Appearing right in front of his face was the last one, it seemed to be some kind of spirit with immense power. It took the form of what almost seemed to be a peach (yes like the fruit) kinda humanoid being. It had a leaf cape and was actually really cute with its high-pitched voice and wide brown eyes.

Raising his hands he let the little one land on them, “you gave me a real good scare there!” that caused them to laugh at him, once they were calmed down again Wukong asked them; “what's your name?” 

Surprisingly they gave him an answer, “Fruity!” 

(this is a part of chapter one! please feel free to comment and interact! )

[spotsupstuff]

with the mandarin dub of s3 special out (gods bless it made me so happy) i just kinda wanna ramble for a bit about moments that stuck with me the most (part 1 cuz fuck u tumblr for the image limit)

ABSOLUTELY in love with the vibes in these two lines- i don't know if it's just the effect of the language Itself or mandarin Six Ear's specific voice acting, but these lines remind me SO much of my dad when he used to give martial art lessons. granted, his teaching were kind of based from korea so i had "Hajime!" instead of the chinese equivalent, but literally Six Ear's vibes in these instances are exactly the same

which, considering his history as Qi Xiaotian's "teacher" is a detail that REALLY nicely scratches my brain hemispheres, it just makes me so giddy lsjdgklsagmlkds

fact! fairly sure Six Ear called Qi Xiaotian only by his first name in This episode for the first time ever while Xiaotian was actually present. the VERY first time was in s3e9 when Six had SWK n Nezha pinned with the ice powers as he realized that the rings are with the kid, i think, but, yanno, Xiaotian wasn't exactly present so -shrugs- didn't really have the Effect

WBS saying "King" here has been replaced so it would actually work with the word structure of Xiaotian's catchphrase. first comes his hero name- "Little hero Wukong-" and then the "comes". WBS supplied this cute tiny thing to the phrase: 送死

WBS HAD BEEN SCARIN ME SHITLESS THE ENTIRE DUB BUT FOR SOME FUCKIN REASON THE "U" IN THE "MIHOU" IS VERY SILENT IN HERE SO IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SHE JUST SAID "MIHO" N ITS SO FUCKIN CUTE I DONT KNO WHAT TO FEEL THERES SO MANY CONFLICTING EMOTIONS WITHIN ME

i don't know if Six is bein fucking cheeky or its supposed to be a pun, but 猴精 kinda means "mischievous person" in its nature but LITERALLY translated its "monkey spirit" (in this context i guess it'd be nicely translated as "monkey spirited") which i just -stares intently at his entire physique- Fuck You Too, Sir

the fucking way Xiaotian fucking yells "Dali ge" has been making me tear up each time i fuckin heard it i adore this little man so fuckin much its unreal AND THEN HE HAS THE GALL TO SAY 搞定他 LIKE A LIL BOSSY BITCH I JUST........ YOU FUCKIN HUMAN BAG OF DUMBASSERY WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS I LOVE YOU

there is no ma"quack" in mandarin, but instead theres a 六耳先生 which i'm p sure is Mr. Six Ear n idk it makes me smile, Sha Dali is so respectful :) (literal translation of 先生 would be kinda like "born first/prior")

My Mans Sounds Like A Grandpa Why Are All The Monkeys Grandpa-ing So Hard also like fuck Six Ear's theme, man, it makes me wanna pick up a guqin so much

Shadowpeach Mood Playlist

I love music and listen to a lot of it. I also love Lego Monkie Kid and have too many thoughts about it which led me to making some character mood playlists. I felt pretty good about them and thought it would be fun to share them with y’all :)

This is my “Shadowpeach” Playlist, but it’s really a mixture of Wukong songs, Macaque songs and shadowpeach songs. Thoughts below the cut. My method of choosing songs for mood playlists is kinda eclectic, but I hope you enjoy it! I’ll keep this updated too when I add new stuff.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ec2fguqHzuOLC3fKnFfQ2?si=d87c1f58ec97429d

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJm3vtrpKnf4cw92i0kygdZkubx5DuTqY

Wukong

King Bitch - Well, Wukong is a king and I think he can also be kind of a bitch especially when he’s at peak hubris.

ごめんね… - Just the vibes on this one tbh. The track is titled “I’m sorry…” and I vividly picture the immediate aftermath of when Wukong took Macaque’s eye (and/or killed him depending on how y’all read that scene). Also the Kamen Rider Blade soundtrack goes so unbelievably hard I had to share it.

Lost in the Clouds - The Monkey King with his head lost in the clouds…

.

Close to the Heavens - …And his shadow watches from below.

Macaque

Gonna preface these next few with how funny I think it is that most of my emo nu metal/alt rock shit fits Macaque really well.

A Place for My Head - Literally THIS:

“I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night

Shining with the light from the sun

And sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming

The moon's gonna owe it one”

But for real this is just macaque after they have their last (?) big fight while Wukong is trapped under the mountain, he’s done.

Get Out Alive - Coward Macaque anthem babey. This feels very s3 Macaque to me, but I can see Brotherhood Macaque fitting as well. (“He” as the teasing Peng and “She” as the teasing LBD, despite him not being able to run away in either of those situations)

Gave It All Away - Some of Macaque’s general feelings while Wukong is out there trying to become the strongest. I also think it fits the situation of the Brotherhood going to fight the jade emperor when Macaque just wanted things to return back to what they were (him and Wukong on Flower Fruit Mountain, just the two of them, forever).

Enemy - Macaque to Wukong when he returns from the dead. Bonus: mentions the shadows babey.

Cast No Shadow - Shadow boy Macaque time babey. Bonus moon mention.

uoY mA I - They are alike in almost every way so…

Don’t Forget - A more hopeful Macaque trying to cheer up a trapped Wukong.

黒点 - Hard to pin down my thoughts on this one, but I think the visuals from Houseki no Kuni when the luanrians start to appear from the black spots reminds me of Macaque and his shadows. He is looming.

シンシャ - Macaque reminds me of Cinnabar from Houseki no Kuni with all the moon imagery and the fact that both of them are loners, but have a deep connection to a very “bright” personality. It’s a beautiful track and I thought it fit him as well.

光よ - Real “Macaque swimming in the cold, cold afterlife” vibes.

Tek It -More Macaque being fucking done with Wukong’s shit. Bonus moon mention.

.

Shadowpeach

Man on the Moon - Sappy shadowpeach time babey

Chasing the Torrents - Song slaps and they need an epic battle theme so here it is.

Lonesome Mood - Wukong left this monkey in a Lonesome Mood™

The Day Before - We love a post break-up cry song.

Icarus - Kinda superficial but the line where Macaque says he got too close to the sun replays in my mind and I love this song so here it is

Last Regrets - I think we all know these two have many regrets, especially regarding each other.

ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? - This feels more Wukong to me, feeling apologetic, but I can see Macaque having these thoughts too.

[themetallicnemesis]

for the ask thing, whichever version of sun wukong you enjoy most

Hmmm to be completly honest im not sure which is the version i enjoy the most, like most wukongs to me are all different brands of a pretty cool guy so it's a bit hard to choose 🤔, so i think i'm just gonna answer for the Lego Wukong and the Jttw Wukong because those are the two i post about and think about the most:

Jttw Sun Wukong:

-How i feel about this character: He's a very complex character, and i like him a lot. Like, i'm bad at putting it exactly into words but even during moments of the story where he's doing wrong, he's still incredibly easy to sympathize with because you can kinda just see where he's coming from you know? He's a guy with a lot of layers that can't really be described as just a "Silly funny monkey" or "impulsive violent fiend" or anything of the sort, because the thing about trying to fit Swk into any kind of labels is that it's pretty much a fruitless task and i love that about him lol. I'm bad with words but yeah all that just makes him feel so real to me, and it's neat to see how different adaptations focus on certain aspects of his personality and each end up feeling a bit different from eachother as a result!

-All the people i ship romantically with this character: I love the Swk/Bull King/Princess Iron Fan dynamic and it's usually the ship i think about the most when it comes to him. And even though i usually see the pilgrims mostly in a platonic light, i also like Zhu Bajie/Swk cause they do have a hell of a fun dynamic. Guess Erlang can also fit in here.

-My non-romantic OTP for this character: Ao Lie. Because they kept calling him Little Dragon when he first appeared on the book i ended up with the image of him in my mind as a very young adult when compared to the other pilgrims. I can see him and Wukong having a very baby sibling and oldest sibling dynamic, and Wukong absolutly plays favorites when it comes to the pilgrims. The favorite is the horse

-My unpopular opnion about this character: Hmmm not really sure if i have one?

-One thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: Kinda wish there were more moments where Tang Sanzang was like, you know more decent to him? Just wish they had more nice moments with eachother, because like if Sanzang was a person that actually bonded with him and had his own nice moments as well maybe it would make me more invested on the moments Wukong has to protect him. You know, making it feel as the story goes on that he's starting to protect him less because it's his duty and more because that's a person he genuily has come to care about.

Okay so now the lego man

Lego Wukong:

-How i feel about this character: I feel like both canon and fanon lately has been way too harsh to him and i just want him to have nice things. I deal with that by mostly ignoring the majority of the fandom and just enjoying it with my friends 👍. He's a funny lego man who's going through way more horrors than he should be going through at every single second of his existence. Im holding him gently in my hands and giving him a break

-All the people i ship romantically with this character: I dont think he's a very romance focused guy but i like Swk/Tang/Chef Zhu, they're cute together and Xiaotian can get as many dads as he wants. I also see him and Princess Iron Fan + DBK as exes

-My non-romantic OTP for this character: Xiaojiao. I like thinking that post season 3, after he makes an genuine effort to connect more with Xiaotian's friends, the two of them can actually be really great friends. Just getting to know and spend some time with his great niece :] i can see her introducing him to all sorts of different sleepover games. I also think that even though she and Ao Lie have their differences she still reminds him a lot of him

-My unpopular opnion about this character: Everyone including canon is being too harsh on him, like just have this man have nice things for once. Everyone complains about how he "never tells anyone anything" but how do you expect him to tell anything when hes constantly whisked away by the plot?? Guy only had a single episode on S4 before being whisked away, guy only had 10 fucking minutes of screentime do you really think 10 minutes is enough to tell everyone about all his enemies and traumas??? My second unpopular opnion is Sh#dowp#ach is the bane of my existence.

-One thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: Let him actually be friends with the rest of the gang, let him have some screentime hanging out with them!! I think the show would have really benefited from going back to the monster of the week format from season 1 to that, like imagine just having some casual fun episodes but this time Wukong is shown on the noodle shop too!! Guy doesn't even need to be a main focus of the episode even just simple stuff like getting shown some baby monkey videos by Xiaojiao, or talking with Tang about how different parts of the journey actually were like, just you know stuff that makes him feel like part of the gang :].

(Another thing that i fucking wish is my self-fufilling au about Ao Lie actually being still alive all this time but had gotten himself stuck in the scroll, and now that he's out and both of them know the other is not fucking dead now, they can just reunite and be friends again. Does my au have a lot of plot holes? Yes it does, but just let the monkey have this one single win. He deserves to have one of his friends still alive fgdkbdnsbd)

Death Battle: Alternate Ending

*Just watched today’s Death Battle! I really liked it. I wasn’t too surprised at the outcome, but this is mainly just a fun little thing for me.*

-

*Tripitaka and his disciples wait in a clearing for Wukong to come back*

Pigsy: Ugh, that freakin’ monkey’s taking forever! Can’t he jump around the world or something?

Sandy: Patience, Pigsy. I’m just thankful for a chance to catch my breath.

Dragon-Horse: Whinny. (Maybe he found whatever monster wants to kidnap Tripitaka this week and decided to be proactive for a change)

Pigsy: Yeah, you tell him, horsie!

*The Dragon-Horse rolls his eyes*

Sandy: Hey! Here he comes! And... who’s that with him? Is that a lion?

Pigsy: No- no, I think that guy is wearing a lion!

*Wukong and Herakles enter the clearing*

Wukong: Greetings, nerds! Meet my new pal Herakles!

Herakles: Greeting, honored friends.

*Tripitaka rises from his meditations and joins them*

Tripitaka: Ah, greetings, mighty warrior. Who might you be, and how did you come across our Monkey friend?

Wukong: Ah, it was awesome!

Herakles: Indeed! You see, I came across your monkey here atop a mighty mountain...

-

~ Flashback ~

-

Herakles: Ho there, ape. I require that divine fruit in your hands.

Wukong: Heh, sorry Hulk Hogan. I got it first, and my Master needs its strength for our quest.

Herakles, his interest caught: Quest? What manner of quest?

Wukong: Eh, get some fancy scrolls from the Buddah, achieve enlightenment, yadda yadda.

Herakles: And what is your stake in this journey, Ape.

Wukong: Ehheh, I kinda... sorta... beat up Heaven and Hell, ate all their shit... and, you know, tried to dethrone the Jade Emperor. Guess you could call this Community Service.

Herakles: Ah, a Quest for Redemption. I know that struggle well, monkey.

Wukong: Cool! *jumps off his cloud* Say, you look pretty strong! You wanna have a spar?

Herakles: A marvelous idea! However, I warn you, I will not go easy on you. For I am Herakles! The God of Strength and Perseverance!

Wukong: Sweet! Cause I’m Sun Wukong, the Monkey King and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

-

Tripitaka: And so you fought?

Herkales: Indeed! This monkey was a mighty foe!

Wukong: Heh, don’t sell yourself too short, Herk. You really pushed me hard!

Sandy: So that was that Earthquake we felt earlier.

Pigsy: *crapping his pants now that there seems to be someone else as strong as Wukong out there*

Wukong: Yup! Herk punched me right into Hell... literally!

-

~ Flashback 2: Electric Boogaloo ~

-

*Hades enters his throne room, seeing Wukong lying on the ground and a hole in the ceiling, leading all the way to the living world*

Hades: Well... that’s a new one. Raining monkeys.

*Wukong gets up, a little dazed but none the worse for ware*

Wukong: Damn, that one really made my bell ring. *he looks up at Hades* Hey, you got a Water Bottle or something?

Hades: All our water either kills you, gives you amnesia, or is blood.

Wukong: Eh, gimme some of the blood.

*Herk lands through the hole he created*

Herakles: Oh, hello Uncle Hades.

Hades: Hello Herakles. Are you here to play with Cerberus again? He’s missed you.

*distant sound of a Three-Headed good boy barking*

Herakles: Not today Uncle, this OP monkey and I are having a match.

Wukong: Sun Wukong’s the name, Bullshit magic is the game.

Hades: Wait, you mean the same Sun Wukong who beat up my Easter Colleagues and erased his name from the ledgers of death?!

Herakles: You managed that? Incredible! Almost as incredible as that time I wrestled Death itself into submission.

Hades: Ugh, don’t remind me. Thanatos still scream whenever I try to wat WWE.

Wukong: *whistles in appreciation* Dang! That’s impressive. Now, where were we?

Herakles: I was winning a fight against a mouthy monkey!

Wukong: Winning, you must have a worse attention span than me. Cause if I remember right *uppercuts Herk so hard he makes another hole to the Living World* I was winning. *somersaults after him*

Hades: Well... I guess the place needed a skylight.

-

Sandy: Impressive! But, who won?

Herakles: We’re getting there, giant.

Wukong: See, It turns out, I socked Herk so hard we ended up in Heaven!

Herakles: Heaven the place. Not Heaven as in the arms of my loving wife, Hebe.

~

~Flashback 3: This time It’s personal~

-

*The Jade Emperor is minding his own business when Herakles blasts up through his floor and slams against the ceiling*

Jade Emperor: Fucking Hell- AGAIN WITH THIS SHIT?!

Herakles: *falls from the ceiling and lands on his feet* Well met, mighty King. Did a monkey with a staff fly in after me.

J.E: Shit, I knew Wukong was behind this somehow.

*Wukong land in the throne room*

Wukong: Howdy, Jadey old Buddy! I see you've met Herakles.

J.E: Herakles... the same Herakles who held up the sky and vanquished an army of Divine Giants.

Herakles: Ah! Then words of my heroics have spread even here!

Wukong: Dude, you held up the sky? That’s so cool! I did that too!

Herakles: You’re an impressive monkey. Now, shall we resume?

Jade: Try not to kill him, Buddha forbid you make me happy.

Wukong: Aw, he’s such a kidder.

*Herakles sucker punches Wukong and sends him flying. With a merry laugh Herakles leaps after him*

*A servant enter and sees a sulky Jade Emperor amidst the carnage*

Servant: Wukong?

J.E: Wukong. And apparently he has an equally OP friend now.

Servant: I’ll prepare the Heavenly Booze.

-

Pigsy: Hah! Nice.

Sandy, eating some magically manifested popcorn: So who won?

Tripitaka: And how did we not notice this?!

Wukong: Well, you see, we fought all over the place! High, low, left and right. I threw my Clone Army at him but Herk just smacked ‘em all around.

Herakles: I shot him with the Hydra Venom arrows, but it didn’t even kill him. It slowed him down, but didn’t stop him completely.

Wukong: Still hurts like crap.

Herakles: Sorry.

Wukong: Anyway, eventually we just K.O.’d each other.

-

~Flashback 4: The Pre-Side-Sequel~

-

*Wukong and Herakles both come to, naked and in a hot spring*

Herakles: Huh, not the first time I’ve woken up without my pants in a hot spring.

Wukong: True that. But, uh, I recognize this place. This is-

???: My home.

*the two look up to see the Merciful Bodhisattva Guanyin standing over them, a stern expression on her face. Moksha stands nearby with a shit eating grin*

Wukong: Guanyin! I, uh, I didn’t-

Guanyin: Peace, Sun Wukong. I see you’ve met Herakles. I was hoping you two would get along as well as you have.

Herakles: Huh, but... wait... you’re the one who sent me to find that Divine Truth in the first place!

Wukong: Eh? Hey, what’s the big idea!

Guanyin: Sun Wukong, I’d like you to meet your newest traveling companion and playmate.

-

Tripitaka: Truly?

Herakles: Indeed! It seems Guanyin wants me as a witness to your great quest. And to help hold Wukong’s leash.

Wukong, muttering: Playmate, she says. I don’t need no stinkin’ playmate.

Sandy: Well, I for one welcome our newest brave adventurer!

Pigsy: And I welcome anyone who can kick Wukong’s butt!

Wukong: Horse, if you will.

*The Dragon-Horse kicks Pigsy in the head*

Wukong: Thank you.

Tripitaka: Well, I welcome you on our travel, Herakles.

Herakles: Indeed. Now, let us begin again, on our:

Wukong and Herakles: JOURNEY TO THE WEST!

Cult AU Snippet

So this is a snippet from my Curse AU (breakdown can be found HERE) placed somewhere midway through Xiaotian’s backslid into his cult upbringing, where he still doesn’t believe that what the cult wants is good, but he doesn’t not believe that either. This snippet is about the gang finally starting to learn what’s actually going on with the cult, (courtesy of a certain pair of demon brothers), beyond just the basic ‘there’s a creepy demon worshiping cult that wants to maybe destroy the celestial realm but also maybe destroy Yama / we know they think there’s some king that supposed to do all of this and-slash make things quote-unquote ‘better’ by taking over’.

It is under read more because long, please enjoy.

(No real warnings apply I don’t think, beyond mentioning a cult)

Xiaotia- MK was twitching. He was trying really hard not to be, but he was. He’d had to shove his hand behind his back, to hide the fact they were shaking, and it was taking more self control than Xaio- MK knew he had to keep from just throwing the demon twins out of Pigsy’s shop altogether.

Because that would be suspicious. In like, the worst ways.

So instead, he was stuck, listening to the twins spill information they had NO BUSINESS KNOWING and he was going to have to tell Shifu about- no. No he wasn’t involved with them anymore. He was MK, was the Monkey Kid, and he didn’t know anything about anything Yin and Jin might be babbling on about. He didn’t.

And man did the two of them have a lot of things to go on about. It was like they’d never had a good meal in their lives with how savagely they were tearing apart the noodles Pigsy had given them, and while their manners were atrocious and Xiaotian ignored the suspiciously familiar voice in the back of his mind that was wrinkling its nose as said behavior they were appreciative, and dumping out a lot of information between bites.

“So like, I really don’t see how you don’t know this-“ Jin said around a mouthful of noodles.

“-like *really* don’t see how you didn’t know.” Yin added around his own.

“I mean, honestly-“

“-considerin’ the subject matter-“

“-the fact that you don’t-“

“-almost seems like-“

“-could be an oversight on their part. But then again-“

“-might be a reason, you know? Don’t want you findin’ out before the ‘end game’ or whatever. Although-“

“-how that would work-“

“-considerin’ how said ‘end game’ is supposed to go-“

“-kinda goes back to that oversight on their part thing, ya know?”

At least Xiaoti- MK, wasn’t the only one getting annoyed. He could see Xiaojiao’s eyebrow starting to twitch, and honestly the fact that Red Son hadn’t flipped his top yet was a minor miracle. Maybe, if he was lucky, one of them would get fed up first and throw the twins out preferably before they spilled anything that was actually important or made sense without preexisting context that the others didn’t have, so that MK didn’t have to be the one to break character and do it.

But of course, Xiaotian was never lucky.

But… was that true? He’d been lucky that Shifu found him, had taken him in and raised him and given him a home and the truth but- NO. Because… because it wasn’t… it was a c-… was a… that. His friends all said so, MONKEY KING, said so. So it… it was and he was right to try and get away but then Shifu reminded him that Monkey King couldn’t really… that he… Xiaojiao’s sword came down in a streak of lighting, halting right above Pigsy’s counter (which was good because he would have killed her, resurrected her, and then killed her again if she’d actually broken it). It was enough to both snap MK out of his thoughts, and shut the twins right up, and the both swallowed HARD before turning in jerky unison to stare at the glaring (and glowing) girl.

“So since Pigsy was kind enough to convince me to not chop you into little pieces despite you trying to break in and steal his stuff, why don’t you get to the POINT, m’kay?” Xiaojiao hummed out, tone entirely too cheery for the murderous expression on her face.

The demon twins both swallowed in unison, turning to look at each other and doing that silent ‘twin communication’ thing with their eyes before turning to the group and moving in eerie synch to point… at Monkey King.

Shit.

(He should have taken the opportunity to throw them both out the door when he had the chance)

There was a bit of confusion as everyone looked between the pointing demon brothers and Monkey King and back again, which was only compounded when Monkey King himself raised a confused finger, pointing at his chest as if to confirm ‘Me?’, while still looking just as lost as everyone else about what was going on and what Yin and Jin were talking about. And this was bad, this was really bad Monkey King couldn’t know. It’s not like he didn’t know but THEY couldn’t know that he knew and they were watching (because they always were) and if Monkey King ‘found out’ they would know that he knew and probably do something even worse than what they already had and!

 “Yah um, we’re going to need a bit more than that, actually.” Mr. Tang’s voice cut in his voice was so similar but so wrong and even after all these years Xiaot- MK had still never fully gotten used to it, gotten over the way the similarity felt so wrong.

MK knew he needed to do… something, but he didn’t know what and the more he panicked the less chance he had to do anything, just like now because the twins were speaking again and-

 “Well it’s obvious, aint it Yin?”

“Totally obvious Jin.”

“I mean, It’s not like they even tried that hard, what with the name and all.”

“Nope, didn’t try hard at ALL Jin.”

“Great King-“

“-Great Sage-“

“-Equaling Heaven-“

“Uniting Heaven and Earth?”

“Use the same kanji and everythin’-“

“-really aren’t trying all that hard to disguise it.”

“Plus I mean, with all their ’natural order was disrupted’-“

“-’the new age where the heavens are PROPERLY overthrown’ and all that-“

“-makes it hard not to reference what they’re takin’ ‘bout, you know?”

“Not that WE want anything to do with any of that.”

“Oh absolutely not. We done saw what it was like the first time-“

“-and if they’re planning on any sorta carnage like the last time, Whoooooh boy.”

“Nope”

“Nu-uh.”

“Not happenin’.”

“No offense-“

“Mr. Great Sage-“

“-but you was terrifyin’ back than-“

“-not that you aint now-“

“-oh no, you’re still plenty terrifyin’ now-“

“but like, you get it, yah? There’s like-“

“-levels of terifyin’ and you used to be on a whole different one.”

“And not that the Celestials are all that great-“

“- I mean we definitely jumped ship soon as we got a good chance-“

“But like if that’s the kinda thing these guys are seein’ as the ‘ideal’-“

“-that just gonna be like, slaughter for most people.”

“You understand?”

 There was silence around the room for a few long moments as everyone sort of… digested what the twins had said. Everyone but him. Finally though, Xiaojiao broke the silence.

“Wait. So you’re saying that the creepy doomsday demon cult, and their whole ‘evil demon king to destroy the three realms’ and all of that, that they’re talking about Monkey King?”

The disbelief and incredulability in her voice was blatant, but not in a way that she disbelieved the twins, oh no. That would be to easy and nothing in Xiaoti- MK’s life could ever be EASY. Instead it was disbelief at the quote unquote ‘stupidity’ of this ‘cult’.

And a part of him rankled at that tone. What did she know after all? Nothing. Nothing true, anyways, nothing important. She didn’t understand, had never been shown how things would be better, why they would be better. She only knew the painful reality they were stuck with, and the layers upon layers upon layers of masks that Sun Wukong was compelled by enchantment and self-preservation to wear. She’d never learned the truth of who the Great Sage truly was. (But Xiaotian had. And he’d learned it sitting in the lap and by the side of one who had managed to catch glimpses of the truth for himself)

“So, um, gonna have to actually agree with the twins on this one.” Monkey King pipped in rubbing at the back of his neck. “Never thought I’d say that one.” He added in a softer tone before continuing. “Just, I feel like if I’m supposed to be like… important, to this cult, they probably should have like, you know, told me, or something. I mean, I’m not really sure how I’m supposed to be this ‘Great King’ of theirs if I, you know, don’t know I’m supposed to be doin’ the job and all that.”

It was clear that Monkey King was trying to be funny, to play the whole thing off. To distract the celestial realm, to not let his watchers know that he already knew.

But it was also clear that it… wasn’t working. All that well.

This whole thing was making Monkey King anxious, and it showed.

And Monkey King being anxious was making him anxious, because what terrible thing was going to happen to his mentor (slash kinda father figure but he was really trying not to think too hard about that right now) because of this? What ‘punishment’ would the celestials come up with simply for the crime of other people knowing the truth and wanting to see justice done?

Not that, that he thought it was justice, or anything. Because he… he didn’t. But he also knew that what the celestials did certainly wasn’t justice, and Monkey King didn’t deserve any of what they would probably end up doing to him because of this.

“So wait,” MK finally found his voice to cut in. “Do you guys like actually know that it’s Monkey King, or do you just think that it’s Monkey King based off stuff you’ve heard?” (Please let it be the latter, please let it be the latter)

“Oh no, it aint speculation-“ Yin quickly pipped up to defend his honor, or something.

“Not at all!” Jin agreed.

“What do you take us for?”

“Charlatans?”

“You think we’d just go ‘round,”

“Givin’ out fake information like that?”

The twins were giving their own incredulous looks, while everyone else in the room suddenly had something else to look at.

“Well we aint!” Jin declared, evidently incensed by the unspoken accusations.

“We most certainly aint!” Yin agreed right on cue.

“We’ll have you know that we got his bona fide information the hard way!”

“That’s right! And it was a real mess of a situation believe you us!”

“Why when that Monk came in I thought for sure we was-“

 CrAsH

 MK had never been more grateful for a demon attack on the city in his life.

[quitealotofsodapop]

[The ones who manage to unearth their version of Luzhen clutch the newborn Stone Monkey tight, sobbing at the joy of finding another of their kind.]

That’s those that do have them. Their universes aren’t identical, so there is likely some that don’t have a Luzhen because their moms mate did perish in the flood: like, say, TMKATI-verse.

Mostly because I was looking through the old posts and one way for Luzhen to be born was somebody locking Peach into the furnace, but not turning it on and that counting to start the process. Obvs different rules now, but variety, you know?

That and the rest of the SWKs can quickly learn why Stone Eggs are a last resort kind of deal, with Peach nearly croaking during birth. Like, ‘Damn, there is a way for us to die, even with all these immortalities’, you know?

Also: [Cherry, holding his little bro up like Simba: PEEEEEBBBBBLLLEEEE!!!!!!!]

If none of the modern kids do the Circle of Life, I will be disappointed.

Recall that back then also were going by the thought of Nuwa having a hand in SWKs creation? Well, thought here: she’s responsible for Reborn-Luzhens creation. Don’t know, just had the idea of a small undefined soul causing some havoc near Nuwa – because it wants a family, it was promised a family, why won’t it be getting its family anymore – reminding her of the Havoc and she ends up making a little clay monkey for the soul to inhabit.

Kinda like TMKATI, just less pregnancy and more clay.

Then she drops the little troublemaker off at Smokey’s, “He really wanted to be born” she shrugs and peace’s out.

Smokey, who was doing his best to suppress his grief at the apparent fact that his dad had died in his world, just now has waterfall levels of water coming out of his eyes. His little brother harassed a god to ensure his own birth! Truly, they are related.

[The knowledge that he might be considered divine royalty under Celestial Law would be a bit much for him right now.]

Honest question: what do the rest of the SWKs think about that? Like, that has to knock the wind out them, for sure.

referencing the Wukongverse learning about Stone Matriarch au + our older post about Nuwa and Houtu making Luzhen on accident + Furnace - Fire = Stone Egg.

I should really do an updated TMKATI timeline post once my exams are over. Currently I'm thinking of altering it so that the twin boys of the Nodelets - Jidu and Luohou - are the ones created from one of the parents getting trapped in the Furance without the fire, likely from LBD stealing the Furance/capturing one of them. I'm thinking Luzhen (like possibly Canon!MK) would be created by Nuwa since TMKATI!MK got found by the Shadowpeach parents as a "broken" egg and they accidentally became his parents.

The Stone Matriarch au likely doesn't apply to many of the other universes since it is in of itself an Au. If any of the SWKs find an egg at the bottom of FFM/Mount Huaguo, it's like a million to one chance.

The one that does is super hyped/sad though. Not sure which.

-

I love the idea of Reborn!/Smokey's Luzhen getting created because Nuwa encountered a little chaotic soul wanting to be born + realising that she shoudl probably give him to someone with a similar origins.

And let's just say; what if... Reborn!Luzhen's soul was created as a reincarnation?

The Reincarnation of a *certain* Primordial Demon who has just died? And may need to be raised in tandem with it's Qi Energy counterpart in order to grow into a (mostly) balanced monkey?

>:3

-

As for the method in which: (Stone Monkey + Furnace) - Samadhi Fire (or they waiting too long) = Egg?

Most likely candidate would be Netflix!SWK/Cherry.

Because he's the exception of Monkey Kings who haven't been "furanced" yet.

I'm just imagining the next Wukongverse he pulls up looking SUPER rough.

Starfruit: "Wow, you look like Hell." Cherry, covered in burn scars: "Don't remind me. Ran into some jerks who stole a bunch of alchemy supplies from the immortals." Sugar: "Calabash?" Cherry: "No thanks I'm not hungry. Well anyway this guy working for Heaven thinks I'm too dangerous to be walking around, and he tosses me into this big pot. I run out of air and somebody turns the heat on! For like a month!" All the SWKs who Know: *winces of sympathy* Ace, jokingly nostalgic: "Ah the Trigram Furnace. Usually happens before the Buddha's hand though." Cherry: "Yeah don't remind me. Luckily my new friends got me out and woke me up." Dawn, suddenly pauses: "Wait. Woke you up?" Cherry: "Yeah I sorta passed out just before the worst of the fire started." Dawn, gettign concerned: "And were you asleep for that whole time?" Cherry, getting nervous: "Yeah??" Dawn: (*shares a look with the other monkeys. A bunch nod their heads with nervous expressions*) Cherry: "Why, what's the problem? Did you guys not fall asleep?!" Smokey: "How could we? The flames of Samadhi nearly turned me to ash. Only way me or any of us survived it is because the Wind corner has a higher pressure." Cherry: "There was corners in there?" Dasheng: "You didn't train in alchemy under Subuhti as we did. The Trigram Furnace is made up of eight corners according to the major celestial elements, with each corner having the properties of that element. The Wind element feeds but also suffocates fire, so even True Fire weakens there." Cherry: "Oh. I think I survived cus I just went into a dissociative state and became a statue." Dawn, now convinced: "YOU PETRIFIED!?" Cherry, getting scared: "NOW I AM!?"

Cue the monkeys who know about how Stone Eggs are formed dragging Cherry to see Guanyin. The bodhisattva explains that; yes, Cherry is carrying a mini-him all wrapped in a stone casing, all because the lack of air in the Furnace caused his body to believe that it was time to bud off into a new monkey. Cherry faints. Joyfully.

Cherry, rambling excitedly: "A mini-king! No! A Prince! NO! A PEBBLE! And he'll be *just* like me!" Dawn, stressing: "Aren't you worried that it could kill you!?" Cherry, brushing him off: "Pff! I'm immortal. Can't die. If I was really worried - I'd just grab a few more pills or peaches." Dawn: (*grabs Cherry by the collar of his armor and pulls him closer. eyes glowing red*) Dawn: "I have over twenty times the amount of immortality you have, and I almost f*cking died. The only reason I'm here today is because Guanyin, the goddess of safe birth, was at my side. And because my Macaque would have dragged me back from Diyu if I had. So. Be. Worried." Cherry, nods fearfully: "Y-yes sir."

But the young Monkey King is still super jazzed about his upcoming mini-him. Even if he's now looking up other ways him can become immortal so that he can meet his little pebble and give him the hugs he himself was denied as a baby.

-

Lastly this part might need to be it's own post due to the amount of thoughts I has.

[The knowledge that he might be considered divine royalty under Celestial Law would be a bit much for him right now.] Honest question: what do the rest of the SWKs think about that? Like, that has to knock the wind out them, for sure.

______________________________________

It didn't take long for you to realize exactly what was going on with your lover. He stared at you from across the room, but he didn't move from his spot. You were aware of the look very well thanks to past experiences, and you were enjoying it. It's not that you liked making him jealous, but… 

Okay, yes, you did enjoy seeing him jealous. The way his nose flared up, how his tail would thrash, and his eyes zeroed in on the men flirting with you was simply too adorable! The fact that a guy like Sun Wukong, the famous Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, could be jealous of someone flirting with someone like you made you feel… loved. You bit your lip as your gaze fell on Wukong, each time your heart would skip a beat and have you blushing and looking away in an attempt to hide it. 

The others beside you found amusement in the two of your behaviour, but they remained neutral. Wukong looked at the men in the room, and the only thing that kept the monkey calm was your smile. What made him smile to himself was the fact that he made you smile like that, it made the night more bearable. 

“My fairest lady,” yet another kissed your hand.

You held it to your heart and watched as the male tried to romance you. You watched as he left and wiped the back of your hand on the guard beside you, which made him struggle to hide a proud smirk, though Wukong's was on full display.

That's my girl.

“I grow tired of this…” you sighed softly to the male next to you. 

“Unfortunately for the both of us, the night is still young,” his words made you sigh softly, he just had to remind you. 

“Why did you have to remind me of that?” you wanted to slouch but couldn't as you kept your head high.  

“If it were up to me, I'd slice the hands off everyone that touched you,”

“I'm pretty sure you're not the only one,” you both shot a glance at the Monkey King before looking at each other in amusement. 

“We could say he was possessed,” the guard mused. 

“My father would have you both beheaded for madness,” you chuckled softly. 

“That last one smelled of weak ale,”

“Don't remind me,” you sighed through your nose before you sat down and leaned against your right hand. “What was my father thinking? Why am I even here?”

“Because your sister is unwell,”

Yeah, ‘unwell’. What rubbish.

“Curse the twin,” you grumbled. 

“(Y/n),” he chuckled. 

“As if she'd do the same for me,” you huffed. “She's probably snagging that guard of hers. Sick, my arse. More like sick of this shit.”

“Indeed,” he sighed softly. 

“The sooner this is over, the sooner I can leave,”

“The Monkey King shares that thought,”

“Naturally,” you glanced at the guard, “would you want to spend all night watching your woman be kissed and serenaded by assholes only seeking fame and glory?”

“Fair enough,” he chuckled, his gaze on the guests. “I assume the feeling is neutral? Women tend to be swarming him like flies.”

“Sweet things do tend to attract pests,” you looked at the crowd boredly. 

“Only you can call a man like that something sweet,” 

“Hmmm,” you smiled and toyed with the ring around your neck, only to frown when it wasn't there. “Right, I had to put it down…”

“I weep for you,”

“Oh, shove off,” you grumbled. 

“Lady (Y/n),”

“Yes?” They both froze and looked at the male. “Wait, how did you-”

“Your secret is safe with me,” he offered his hand. “If you allow me a dance.”

You were hesitant but sighed before you stood and took his hand. He smirked a bit, but didn't notice her guard shift uncomfortably or his and her glance to the Monkey as he frowned. You followed his gaze and internally screamed. If you thought Wukong was brimming with jealousy before and looks could kill, words can't describe the Monkey King at that moment.

“A slow one, bard,” the male requested. 

“Oh boy,” you heard him mumble before he bowed and started to sing.

He brought you close to his chest as he danced with you, all eyes on you, since you were very hard to get all night. 

“You must be wondering how I figured it out?” He mused and whispered into your ear. “You're much more attractive than your sister,” he stated. “Not to mention more curvy, the corset may hide it well, but I can tell.”

“Aren't you clever,” you said in annoyance. 

You were sure that no one would be able to tell you weren't your sister. If this male could tell, how many other guests could tell that you weren't her? You cursed your sister, betting that she was with some male rather than doing what she was supposed to be as the future Queen. What nonsense.

“May I have this dance?” a familiar voice broke you from your thoughts, and a bright smile appeared on your features when you saw the Monkey King.

“I’d love to,” you took his open hand and allowed him to guide you to the dance floor. Feeling his hands on you felt like the missing piece that you were missing, the thing that you needed most.

“I want to lay my head on your shoulder so bad right now,” you sighed softly. 

“Hm,” was his response, but oh did he want that too. 

You knew if you made any indication that you liked him, they’d make him and your sister get married. There was no way you were going to let your Great Sage Equal to Heaven be paired with your sister, she’s taken too much from you already. 

“I'm surprised that you're dancing with me in front of all these people,” you mused as you looked up at him.

“Eh, you looked as bored as I was,” he tried to play it off cool, which made you struggle not to smile at him.

“Oh, don't be like that, Wukong,” she mused. “You're trying so hard not to smile, is that why you won't look me in the eyes?”

“Hm,” was all you got as replies. 

“You really are adorable,”

“Why did you-”

“You know why, don't think I don't know your ear had filtered everything to listen to me,”

“Clever princess,” he mumbled in that voice that simply made you melt. 

“Obviously, you don't love me for my looks,” your words made him look at you instantly. 

“Of course I do,” he said. “I love every inch of you,”

“If you say so,” you said before the song stopped. “I will see you after,”

“As you wish, your majesty,” he bowed slightly. 

“Funny,” you smiled and pulled away hesitantly. You walked back to your pedestal and let out a deep sigh. 

“Who knew the Monkey knew how to dance,”

“Oh, hush,” she grumbled. “When I give you the cue, guide him to my Chambers,”

“Of course, my lady,” he smirked a bit. 

“Wipe that look off your face before I punch you,”

“Terribly sorry,” he chuckled, but his smirk remained. 

There was quite some time that passed before you saw an opening. When the time came, you acted without hesitation.

“Dobre,”

“At once,” he bowed. 

“Don't make it obvious,” she said. 

The guard walked with a mug of ale and made his way to the monkey, unnoticed by anyone. He stood at the monkey's side, and they watched the princess mingle with guests with a strained smile. 

“She acts the part of Princess (S/n) quite well,” he commented. 

“Hm,”

“Treat her well, Great Sage,” he glanced at Wukong, “she deserves the world.”

“I know,” he said and finished his drink. 

“Follow me,” Dobre said as he finished his drink in one go and set it down on the nearest table. 

“Okay,” with one more glance at his princess, Wukong followed the guard out of the ballroom and down the halls, where his straight posture immediately relaxed as he let out an annoyed groan. 

“Damn stuck-up royals,” he rolled his shoulders, “to hell with them all,”

“Hm,” he eyed the male before he stared ahead. 

“I envy you, Monkey King, I really do,” he glanced at him, “Getting to travel with (Y/n) must have its own pleasures,”

“You could say that,” he smirked a bit before he frowned at a thought. “Who's that man that got her to dance?”

“Ugh, Lord Heseltine of Inglewood,” he huffed, “real asshole that one. Thinks he's untouchable and all-powerful.”

“Didn't seem all that powerful to me,” Wukong grumbled under his breath. He was far better than that man by 10000%. 

“She'll be up soon,” he said as he opened the door for him. “Room's soundproof,” Wukong looked at the guard as he smirked and winked. “You two behave yourselves.”

“Dobre,” the voice behind him made him jump. 

“That was quick,” he mumbled. 

“I have my ways,” you grinned. 

“He's waiting,”

“Thanks, Dobra,”

“Of course…” He nodded and ruffled her hair with a lopsided smile, “I'm glad you're finally happy, princess,”

“I am,” you smiled.

“Go on, I have rounds to make,” he motioned you inside before he left her in the hall. 

“Wukong?” you called as you walked into the room and closed the door behind you. You watched him on the bed, just starting to remove his armour. 

“Here I thought I had time to change,”

“Where's the fun in that?” she bit her lip and eyed him.

[sketching-shark]

What do you think of Lego monkey kid so far?

Also I really love how, in season 1-3, they built up lady bone demon as the final villain/antagonist and conveyed her motives as the mastermind and manipulator of the series, especially her power hungry nature and obsession for a perfect world, she kinda reminds me of white diamond and especially the kind controlling/possssion part of her character. I also loved the final fight between her and wukong and when she made him get possessed by evil spirits from the mayor, gave me legit chills.

SIDE RANT: I also hate how they butchered wukong especially since he’s my favourite character even in journey to the west, besides xiaojiao/Mei and lady bone demon. They kinda made him a colossal incompetent goofy idiot instead of adding any complexity to him and how the plot makes him look bad and most of the characters blame him for everything happening in lmk, especially macaque and azure.

I also despise what happened with macaque’s character since in season 1 as he’s shown to be a complete psychopath since he manipulated xiaotian/mk in order to steel wukongs power. Then we get a glimpse of his backstory in the shadow play of the hero and the warrior. It goes like this:

“The Hero and the Warrior were like Sun and Moon. Their light, a protective glow, shining upon the world. Together, there was nothing that could stop the two of them. Either in the Celestial Realms or on Earth. As time went on, the Hero attained power beyond comprehension. As the Hero’s light grew, so too did his shadow. And soon, the Warrior was cast in that shadow. In the darkness, the Warrior was forgotten by the Hero.”

The whole play shows that the two monkeys had history together as they were once been on good terms so they may have like brothers, as they were both inseparable by the celestial realms or earth. But however, “As time went on, the Hero attained power beyond comprehension.

As the Hero’s light grew, so too did his shadow”, so as time went wukong become stronger than macaque as he learnt the 72 transformations and became a much skilled fighter, so macaque’s jealousy grew as he was already weaker than him as the two were like “sun and moon”.

“And soon, the Warrior was cast in that shadow. In the darkness, the Warrior was forgotten by the Hero.” Something made the two monkeys get into a brutal clash as the show hints that one of macaques eyes are damaged by wukong from said clash.

The problem is that the show doesn’t further elaborate on what made the two monkeys hate each other. It would have been nice if there were more flashbacks about their relationship before they became enemies, instead of just trying to make wukong look bad and try to make macaque look as pitiful and pathetic as possible for the sake of blaming wukong for everything like most of the characters do.

It would have been nice if the creators made their relationship similar to vi and powder from arcane it probably would make sense and showed a flashback of the war between heaven and wukong and the other monkeys, including the burning of huaguoshan by erlang, it would give a much better reason of the conflict/resentment between wukong and macaque.

But I’m not where they are trying to get at here. But I’ve kinda given up on the series as the plot is kinda all over the place with the latest season with azure, the other sworn brothers of wukong, including the ink demons.

Yeaugh this pretty much covers a lot of my own thoughts about Monkie Kid. It had a really fun & silly & goofy beginning but definitely has shifted in a lot of ways to being the "and here's yet another way in which MK gets horrifically traumatized specifically because of his relation to Sun Wukong & in which Sun Wukong himself continues to run for the worst friend, leader, and teacher of the ever award" lol. But yeah looking across all the iterations of the Monkey King it is kind of morbidly funny just how awful lego show Sun Wukong has become. Like you KNOW you've beefed it when you're making og classic "was a literal warlord & feels no remorse over smashing people into meat patties" Sun Wukong look pretty good by comparison lmao.

#anon answered #monkey critical #comparison here being that no matter how violent he got #og classic sun wukong didn't do anything even close to having a big hand in almost destroying all of reality #I know flying bark always shys away from this at the last possible second #but lego show sun wukong really seems to be a case study in the reality #that at the end of the day it really doesn't matter how much you love people if all your actions just result in them getting hurt #:(

Oneshot

Pairing: Mk and SWK platonic.

Summary: MK has been overworking himself to the extreme and doesn’t know how to take a break with the fate of the world on his shoulders. Wukong takes some notice and they talk about the pressure.

Warnings: A bit angsty, maybe ooc for MK but like, angst— he’d be super scared to fail. It’s kinda rough for my first one but It’s just something to tide me over until I start getting requests.

Words: About 1.5k!

MK bit down the urge to scream as his back collided with the ground, effectively knocking the wind out of his lungs and sending him spiralling backwards. After tumbling against the ground for a brief moment before he slid to a stop on his stomach, he pondered why he was doing this again. Worn fingers grappled at the earth by his head, trying to shake off his miserable defeat and get up, but the coarse texture of the mountainside only served to give him no leeway, but instead a few scrapes and the fleeting feeling that even the mountain was laughing at him.

Again, he tried to get up, muscles tense and aching after the extensive and lengthy training that seemed more like the great sage just wanted to vent his anger on his poor, blissfully unaware student. He was innocent here, so why was the training so rough for no reason? MK cast aside the thought with a slight shake of his head, gently propping himself up on his elbows as he glanced at where he’d made impact with the ground earlier, grimacing at the sight of his own imprint having disturbed the rocky surface. Did Wukong really have to exert that much force against him? It was obvious who the winner would be, even if it was just a training session— one MK struggled to even organise with the great sage’s busy schedule. His arms shook at the effort it took to hold himself up, gritting his teeth at the nausea that grew only more prominent, from what was only a gentle reminder that he needed rest to a great force trying to get his mortal body the kind of care that it needs to function. For a moment, the world spun in front of his eyes, distorting like a carnival mirror. The sudden vertigo wasn’t appreciated however as MK had to shut his eyes and regain his breath, lungs convulsing. With every passing moment his mouth felt dry, and no matter how he tried to salivate the sensation he was going to throw up if he received just one more punch to the gut was still lingering, sitting low in his stomach, lying in wait for the perfect opportunity. He wasn’t sure he could vomit at this point, he doesn’t remember the last time he ate, so it would likely be a combination of saliva and stomach acids if he were to but it isn’t something that’s the most pleasant to imagine so he left it alone.

“Come on kid! Where’d all that vigour from this morning go?” The monkey king's encouragement soured as he thought of it like negative feedback, clenching his teeth together from his spot on the floor until his molars ground together. Usually, MK was super enthusiastic about these training sessions, always one to be super positive no matter how hurt he got and take it as another experience and another lesson on how to better improve. But this MK was tired, sleep-deprived even, having fully overworked himself to the extent of this shell of his former personality who was only trying to get the things on his to-do list done so he could rest for once. This MK also had the fate of the world resting on his shoulders and it's not the most stress-relieving activity to try and be good enough to stop the end.

He’d realised that he hadn’t moved at all, gathering his strength to try and sit up from the ground, despite the protest of his muscles as they objected against the action. After struggling to reposition himself sitting upright, it seemed his mentor had finally noticed something was off with his successor, sauntering over to the heaving MK.

“You alright ‘bud? You seem pretty out of it.” He’d stoop down to survey his apprentice, the slightest hint of concern lacing his voice, he did worry for the kid, but his ego could make it difficult to show.

“You kicked me in the face, I’m doing so good.” MK deadpanned, lifting his gaze to meet Wukongs humourly, mouth twitching at the idea his facade wasn’t being the most convincing right now. But he shrugged it off, hoping that the simian would just write off his behaviour just this once. Wukong however was not as amused by him avoiding his gaze, lifting an eyebrow in necessary suspicion.

“Yeah okay, we’ll end it here. You’re pretty roughed up today.” He’d comment, eyeing MK’s clothes. To be fair it did look like he’d been dragged against a dirt road, plus he just appeared flat out exhausted. It was only out of consideration that Sun Wukong let him off, scrutinising the importance and necessity of MK improving though he couldn’t always do something like this, it genuinely seemed like the kid needed a break. At the mention of the session being over, said successor seemed to just deflate exponentially, falling back onto his back with a sigh and a half hearted, ‘thank the heavens above’, which Wukong definitely scoffed at.

The monkey brought his hands together, lightly pushing his tail against the other's forehead. “Now would you be so kind as to explain what’s up with you? Your movements were sloppy if not effortless and— woah, that’s a sharp look. Hit a nerve? Come on, MK, you know I only want to teach you.” He raised his hands defensively at the glare he received, now quite curious as to what was bothering the boy to this extent in order to cause such uncharacteristic hostility.

MK brought a hand to comb through his hair, “Sorry, sorry. I’m just stressed, I think. Though it’s pretty normal for me now as the Monkie Kid, I just,” He paused to consider his words, unsure of how to phrase it. It was difficult to interpret his thoughts when he was just so wound up and didn’t really know what to do. He sent a look back over to Wukong who only reassuringly motioned with his hands to continue. “It’s a lot sometimes, it isn’t always easy to handle. Sorry I gave you an attitude about it, I’ve missed out on a bit of sleep but I didn’t want to worry anyone.” MK admitted guiltily, raising his hand to scratch at the back of his neck. Even if he hadn’t mentioned it they were all likely to notice eventually, he just hadn’t been willing to entertain that idea. The monkey king sighed gently, placing a comforting hand on his shoulders.

“Look, kid. I’m not the greatest at this whole reassuring thing. Never really been my whole shtick, solo flyer troublemaker on the rise.” He clears his throat at the irrelevant piece he’d added. “But you’re a good kid, and you’re doing great, much better than I could’ve hoped for. It’s good to have worries but just, don’t let it get to your head. It’ll get all mangled up in your little MK head and stuff like this’ll happen. You’ve got us don’t you? Me and your little gang of misfits. They’ve got your back, so show your appreciation by not balling it all up and put your MK smile back on! We missed ‘ya buddy!”

MK gave the monkey king an appreciative gaze, behind all the fronts he put up the guy really did seem to care, he just went about it in his own way. “Thanks, Wukong. I really needed that.” He smiled gently. Wukong just waved it off, grinning smugly as he achieved reinforcing MK’s fortitude. Despite the reassurance however, the deep pit in MK’s stomach refused to leave, feeling as though it was congesting his intestines, it was either that or he was just really, really hungry.

“Here’s a suggestion— why don’t we go grab something from Pigsy? Kicking your ass really took it out of me, I’m starving.”

“Sounds good! Then I’m passing out, into another dimension I’m so tired.” MK joined Wukong in his laughter, feeling a bit better about the whole thing. And besides, it’s nice knowing he really does care, even if it isn’t always apparent.

[wlwizard101]

hi i have so many thoughts about polaris + arc 3 as a whole so im just going to rant about them. spoilers for polaris and mirage under the cut. also monsquista in pirate101. also a little bit of emperyea. just a smidge.

polaris is probably my favorite world simply because of its writing and it does something kingsile and honestly a lot of media in general fails to do: how to write a good revolution.

first of all, the revolution has good motives and the writers want us to percieve as good. the penguins (proletariat. yes im doing a semi marxist analysist for a kids game dont @ me) are uprising against the polar bears (the borgeious class). the penguins struggles are seen as real. they do not simply want a return to the status quo or to 'bring back the king that was good' (looking at you mirage) - no, they want change.

and that is so refreshing! in pirate101, that goddamn ape (i literally hate him so much) does a revolution and. simply becomes king. thats it. the revolution itself is started by princesses and disgraced generals, not the people. which is not inherently bad writing, however this is portrayed as good. is the material conditions of the monkeys at all changed? nope! there's just a different king on the throne. its closer to a coup than anything. (i do enjoy the implications of the pirate doing much, much grimier things that the wizard due to them being well, a pirate, but i never thought it was handled all that well).

but back to polaris. there is changed, goddamnit! after overthrowing the monarchy, celebration happens in the central area of polaris. in a paralell to azteca, where everytime you go there you are reminded that everyone here is going to die soon holy shit, in polaris, you are reminded you fucking won. you did it. and this is especially refreshing considering it is based off of the french revolution, one that pop culture always tends to demean. but kingsile (though having napoliguen in pirate101 does have some implications) shows a different view point to the french revolution, one with much more empathy to the peasant class.

and this is where mirage kinda fell flat in comparison. i was half expecting ozy to turn out to be a twist villian, due to the writing competency of the previous world, but nope. hes just the rightful king guys! and now we have to defend against xerxes. who is evil because. uh. yeah. trust us guys!!! (his boss fight was also really underwhelming tbh. middle siblings always get the short end of the stick).

over all, arc 3 differs from the other arcs in that it is not about saving the status quo. in arc 1, you defended the world from malistairs gried. in arc 2, you defended the world from morganthes god complex. but in arc 3? we are shown grandmother raven to be a control freak, who'd rather let the spiral be destroyed than let her ex husband live, and we have grandfather spider, who is destroying the spiral to put everything back to the way it was. in some regards, yes, we are defending the status quo - but i would argue raven is infact that status quo. the gods as they are, under ravens plan, would stay the same. the spiral would soon be destroyed anyways because of the heat death of the universe, why try and change? let it be. we're here to change that! what it going to happen in emperyea i do not know, as i only just got to part 2, but im incredibly excited for it, even if the refrences are a little grating. no spoilers please <3

#wizard101 #wizard 101 #w101 #plum plays 101 #i probably didn't articulate myself well but heres my thoughts. #polaris is also just. really fun. #its has great pacing. the final battle is SO good #and mellori. mellori mellori we are introduced to her!!! #however i dont really like bat sorry guys #ive never liked batman so everything about him just. makes me cringe. #polaris has mostly original characters which it why its really #really strong! #kingsile CAN right really good characters instead of just references to pop culture #anyways.
