Y'ALL. LOOK WHAT MY FRIEND GOT ME!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I'm gonna be honest with ya'll I did NOT think that she would actually listen to me ramble about LMK AAAHHHHHHH- 😭😭😭💖💖💖
She gave this to me at school before class started in an envelope and vaguely said that there were two pieces of polaroid photos inside. Keep in mind that before she gave this to me, she messaged me first saying that she commissioned a photo of me from three years ago and I mistook it as two copies of the exact same photo because when I opened it, my picture was at the front and the other picture was very much clinging to the back of it and I thought nothing of it because I thought it was the same pic (because again I didn't think that she would actually acknowledge I love LMK 😭) . I found that out later at my house that no, it was not a copy of the exact same pic of the other because when I separated it from the other photo, I froze and screamed because gurl??? What??? I literally thought I was hallucinating 😭😭😭 because I just woke up from a short nap after coming home from school. And then I messaged her and thanked her from the bottom of my heart because this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done to me HSHSHSHHSHSHSHS
I shall forever cherish this U.U.

The historical Zhu Bajie
My friend Irwen Wong of the Journey to the West Library blog wrote a lovely article about a historical monk named Zhu Bajie (朱八戒) that the pig-spirit Zhu Bajie (豬八戒) is likely based on.

reading jttw is so funny because everyone is so genuinely AFRAID of wukong and that fact never truly sunk in for me while watching lmk and other second hand retellings of the book on yt. most of the time his mere presence is enough to get literal gods and deities doing backflips tryna get him out of their face LMAO

i think it's cute how (to my knowledge) zbj is the only one of the pilgrims who has a spinoff story where swk erases his name from the death ledgers :> i think it pairs well with the semi-common post-canon narrative of zbj going to live on huaguo shan. it's like he's really part of the family now ❤️ (story is 十八罗汉斗悟空:孙悟空两情猪八戒)
I've never heard of this story before but WUKONG starting shit just cause the Arhots were getting more attention PLEASE!
He just drags Bajie with him XD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love they immediately go to get Wujing to come help but hate that it was all a trap because this imagine is so cute of the three of them just hanging out.
Tumblr media
THEY ARE SO SWEET TOGETHER! I love stories where after the journey they are still such close friends/family. Drop of a hat would just join each other to beat up some guys no questions asked. But boooo this guy turns out to be the Arhat after their butts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But still a lot of great moments of Bajie and Wukong fighting together! Do love that they still continue the trend that Wukong has trouble fighting under water and him asking Bajie for that help makes a lot of sense with him used to be the Marshall of the Heavenly Reeds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But still Bajie isn't nearly as immune to elements nor has the same stamina as Wukong does, making him tire out quickly and being more prone to magical attacks.
Tumblr media
八戒想了想,道:“我倒是想起早年学过一门八面玲珑功,此功虚头巴脑,对敌全然无用,但今天正用得上,他无影无相,我只求滴水不漏,或许可以破他这路拳。”
说罢他强打精神,分出七个分身,“推窗望月,蛟龙出水,猛虎下山,回首掏……”招式纷繁复杂,虽然没有半分实力,却十分好看。
悟空笑道:“倒也不负这名,果然八面玲珑,世人皆喜这套,纵使无半分力气,却可立于不败之地也。”
Wukong! Is that a genuine compliment?! I never thought I would see the day! I bet that his moves were beautiful!
Tumblr media
This is my first time seeing Bajie with his own clones so that is pretty neat to witness in another story.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm SCREAMING at this page please! Look at Wukong! He has no regrets!
Tumblr media
<3
此刻他以闪电瓶轰击,有制高点优势,已立于不败之地。悟空不怕闪电,但八戒这边就苦了,趴下找路逃命,裤子被炸得稀烂,如芒刺在股,无力再战。
八戒趴在地上,听雷声渐渐小了,仰起头一看,一座巨型金塔正凌空劈来,悟空眼疾手快一把把八戒推开,这才没被罩入塔内。
Tumblr media
Wukong is such a homie, he knows that Bajie doesn't have the same immunities as him and even pushes him out of the way when he is prone.
Tumblr media
八戒虽然惧怕罗汉法宝,但他就盯住过江罗汉,俩人正是对手,拳来耙去,直斗得愁云惨雾,日头偏西。
But also good on Bajie for not backing down either! He is clearly scared and feels outmatched but he refuses to back down. Love that about him, always a coward but he ain't a doormat.
体高罗汉见过江罗汉无法取胜,就拿闪电瓶对准八戒,一连串闪电直刺过来,八戒吓得一哆嗦,压低云头,躲到了流沙河中,找到一片荷叶,把鼻子埋了进去。
这边悟空不再需要顾忌八戒,金箍棒变大变粗,将方寸山棍法解数全部丢出来,形成一张紧密的棍网。虽然被围在核心,他还是哈哈大笑:“任你们罗汉花招再多,谁也进不了俺的棍网!”
Also that even when Bajie does go to hide in the river Wukong sees this as more advantageous than anything as he can finally go all out. He was holding back cause Bajie was in his line of fire but now he is out of friendly-fire range he can do maximum damage without worry!
Tumblr media
悟空战退了四罗汉,再来寻八戒,发现八戒已不在荷花池,连连高叫无人回应。
不知八戒吉凶如何?请看下回分解。
Is Bajie okay? I can't tell in the end if he was passed out or he scampered off completely.... I hope he is okay...
But still this was a great story! Thank you so much for recommending me this I had such a great read! I love seeing stories where the pilgrims still get together and get into trouble at times! Especially when it is still very in character and so much fun!
If someone can tell if Bajie okay thought :'-) please I have to know!

*while waiting outside the principal’s office* Wukong: What are you in for? Sanzang: Oh, they just want to know if it’s cool if I miss my classes tomorrow to run sound and lights for a presentation in the auditorium. What about you? Wukong: I stabbed a guy with a screwdriver. Sanzang: Sanzang: Sanzang: We live very different lives. Wukong: Yes we do.
Thus begins a wonderful friendship.

Welcome to The Journey to the West (西游记) Daily!
You are about to beging a reading journey to get the hidden Buddhist texts accompanied by the monk Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie and Bai Long Ma.
To beging this journey you must subscribe to the newsletter, which you will find at https://journeytothewestdaily.substack.com/. You wil receive your first email this week, welcoming you and sharing information about what's to come and what I will include in the emails.
However, beforehand I want to tell you already that you won't receive a daily email, despite the name of the newsletter. The chapters are dense and full of references to folklore or religion references that you might be unfamiliar with, so you will receive an email every 2 or 3 days maximum.
If this is the first time that you hear about this newsletter and you don't know what Journey to the West is...
The classical Chinese novel Journey to the West is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the "Western Regions" (Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sūtras (sacred texts) and returned after many trials and much suffering. Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk, whose name in the novel is Tang Sanzang, and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as the monk's steed, a white horse. The group of pilgrims journey towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation.
The novel is perfect for the epistolary format, since it's is divided in different and disconnected adventures, so you don't have to always remember what happened in the previous chapter to read the next!
We'll be reading Anthony C. Yu's translation since it is the first unabridged version that we have available in English. It is about 100 chapters long.
As I said, you will receive a first email as soon as you subscribe and an introductory email in a few days. Please, share this post so more people can read along. Use the hashtag #jttwdaily if you want to comment your impressions. I'll share the most important dates soon.
May the Buddha help you in your endeavours.
