#Tripitaka (New Legends of Monkey)

[quitealotofsodapop]

Oh my gods, all the Wukongs see Hero!Liuer and go "Master? Tiny Master? TINY TRIPITAKA!"

Liuer has no idea what's going on but he is delighted. Especially when he meets the big MKs.

Hero!Liuer wanders into a multi-dimensional SWK/Monkey King meeting and the room just zeros in on him.

LMK!SWK: "Oh my buddha, it's a mini-Tang!!!" <3

Reborn!SWK: "Is he Master Sanzang as a child? He has the soul mark of the Cicada."

NewGods!SWK: "He's got chubby cheeks ripe for pinching, thats what he's got!"

NetflixSWK: *incomprehensible baby talk*

2000sCartoon!SWK: "Eh!? Another Master Tripitaka? But this one's so small!" •^•

Meihouwang!SWK & LEM: "I dunno who Tripitaka is, but this one looks fun!" "Why is your name Six Eared?"

Smash!SWK: "Whoa! Trips got shrunk!" :O!

HeroIsBack!SWK is proudly showing off his tudi/adoptive son to all who wishes to see.

Liuer is def mothered/fathered by all the older SWKs. He's so small! And excited to be here with all the different Monkey Kings! Netflix!SWK and Smash!SWK treat him more like a little brother, the latter calling him "squirt" unironically. Liuer is really confused around 2000sCartoon!SWK because the brunette monkey keeps treating him like he's a wisened monk.

Meihouwang treat Liuer like a new playmate, taking him on their explorations around the different Flower Fruit Mountains. He's declared an "honorary Flower Fruit monkey!" and they try drawing face markings onto him.

Liuer meets MK; who immediately offers to show Liuer his Monkey King biography - Liuer accepts immediately and is blown away by the artwork and the things Monkey King has done "in the future"! MK and Mei unofficially deem Liuer their Little Bro. They talk for so long about their worlds & legends that MK forgets to mention that he inherited SWK's powers.

Then Liuer meets other *hims*?! Who are (mostly) all Great Monks and sages?! :O!

This happy little monk boy is in heaven.

The other Tripitakas adore Liuer; seeing him as a younger, more heroic version of themselves.

LMK Tang endears himself to Liuer with his storytelling and fatherly attitude - but Liuer is the sorta kid to loudly call out adults "doing things wrong". Example; "Mr Tang, monks aren't supposed to eat meat.", "Mr Tang, the Buddha hears all your swears.", "Mr Tang, you have to pay for your food." etc... so Tang tries to adjust his behaviour to set a good example. Nevermind that he isn't a buddhist monk - but he aint telling them that. XD

2000sCartoon!Tripitaka: "Brother Tang, it is improper for a monk to consume alcohol..."

LMK!Tang: *about to continue drinking anyway*

Liuer: "Mr Tang, sifu Fa says baijiu makes it harder for Buddha to hear us..."

LMK!Tang, mock surprise: "Eh?! I didn't know that. Thank you for warning me mini-sage!" *pours drink back into bottle*

Liuer: :D!

Other Tripitakas: "Oh, he's good at this." "I can barely get Bajie to stop stealing food..."

The reaction from the Macaques are... lukewarm at best like with the other monks. The ones who dont have beef with Tripitaka just see him as a cute kid, while the ones who've tried making monk kebabs feel really awkward around Liuer. He also sets off the older Mac's parental instincts, so he gets son-coded immediately.

He's their perfect little monk boy, and they'll kill anyone who poses a threat to his childhood wonder.

The New Legends of Monkey (2018) 新猴王传奇

Director: Gérard Johnstone / Craig Owen / Peter Andkidis Screenwriter: Craig Owen / Jacqueline Peach / Christiaan Van Vuuren Starring: Chai Henson / Lucian Buchanan / Josh Thomson / Emily Cockrell / Josh McKenzie / Jordan Mooney / Jared Blakiston / Fasitua Amosa / Michelle Hong / Jim Cawthorn / Samson Chan-Boon Genre: Fantasy / Action / Comedy / Adventure Country/Region of Production: Australia / New Zealand Language: English Date: 2018-01-28 (Australia) Number of seasons: 2 Number of episodes: 20 Single episode length: 25 minutes Also known as: Legend of the Monkey King / Journey to the West / 新美猴王传奇 / 猴王传奇 / 西方西游记 IMDb: tt6807662 Type: Reimanging

Summary:

The Monkey King was imprisoned under a mountain 500 years ago by his enemies in Heaven. Five hundred years later, the Earthly realm is overrun, and its humans oppressed, by demons. The gods and immortals are in hiding or oppressed by demons as well. A scholar secretly concocts a plan to bring together a few warriors and a monk, named Tripitaka, to undertake a quest to resurrect the Monkey King and find the Heavenly scrolls that were stolen by Monkey 500 years ago and hidden away secretly on earth. Anyone who finds the scrolls would gain unlimited power. However, the night the group is about to start on their quest, a demon attacks the scholar's home and kills everyone inside except for the scholar's adopted daughter, taking the golden crown necessary to revive the Monkey King. In his last moments, the scholar entrusts his daughter with the quest. She takes on the identity of Tripitaka and ventures out into the world, narrowly escaping death herself.

In a town she gives charity to a monk and ends up forced to work for a tavern owner, thus gaining a job and a room to sleep in. When the same demon that killed her adoptive father shows up, she secretly steals the magical crown and makes a run for it. When demons begin searching the town for her and the magic crown, she is disguised as a monk by the same monk she helped and successfully makes her way out of the city. In an opening along the side of a mountain, she finds the stony visage of the Monkey King's face, and puts the crown on his head. Finally, the Monkey King is free but he soon discovers that the crown is repressing most of his godly abilities. The pair return to the town and join up with Pigsy and Sandy, who are also gods, and the four of them begin their quest of finding the lost scrolls and gaining enough power to overthrow all the demons.

I know that Netflix cancelled The New Legends of Monkey without cancelling it, but it still hurts to see Tripitaka in a new show.

Yay early morning fic thoughts because I can’t sleep for fuck.

So I watched some new legends of monkey (on Netflix) before trying to sleep and before that I watched some kicking it.

Now my mind is stuck in a fic thing because usually when I think of fic ideas it’s almost always crossovers.

So kickin it crossover ideas with new legends of monkey:

Jack is somehow monkey’s child that got sent to a world without demons. I mean it still has supernatural stuff but the sheer majority of it that exists pretty much shields his godliness cause he’s a full god. Jacks always has some kind of jewelry on so it’s jewelry that hides his abilities from him so he spends the majority of his life as a normal human before realizing it. (Or he is aware and the jewelry is to hide himself from sensors, or they are his god weapons in disguise)

The other idea is where it’s mostly the same but kickin it stuff happens in nlom world time period instead. Jack is monkey’s son but distances himself from him, thinking he really did kill the master. And is just trying to hide himself from the demons that run the world now with the supposedly human friends he has now in a monastery.

The last one jack was raised by the scholar with Tripitaka and is very similar to monkey in certain ways. Very human it seems but possible supernatural? Idk yet that’s all I got

Yea Monkey and jack are so similar it’s funny when you think about it. But yea that’s what I got.

[journeytothewestresearch]

I've heard that Wukong has a heart of gold (literally), as well as iron lungs, and a metal spine from being in Lao Tzu's furnace and eating molten Copper from Guan Yin and was wondering if this is true.

Monkey states that in ch. 34:

When old Monkey caused great disturbance in the Celestial Palace five hundred years ago and was refined for forty-nine days in the eight trigram brazier of Laozi, the process in fact gave me a heart strong as gold and viscera hardy as silver, a bronze head and an iron back, fiery eyes and diamond pupils (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 2, p. 131).

The legend of his adamantine body predates the 1592 JTTW. For instance, Sun claims the following in the early-Ming zaju play:

I plundered Laozi’s gold Pill of Immortality, and have endured so many alchemical transformations that my muscles are brass, my bones iron, my eyes fire, my pupils gold, my asshole lead and my prick is pewter (Ning, 1986, p. 142). 

Another example comes from the 13th-century JTTW. He is referred to as the the “Bronze-Headed, Iron-Browed King of the Eighty-Four Thousand Monkeys of the Purple Cloud Grotto on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits” (Wivell, 1994, p. 1182). And the story ends with the Tang Emperor Taizong enfeoffing him as the “Great Sage Steel Muscles and Iron Bones” (Wivell, 1994, p. 1207).

What would the swk's think of our boy tang?

LMK: Complicated. Since LMK!SWK had such a student-teacher (maybe even fatherly) dynamic with his Tripitaka, it feels weird to be sitting down and chilling with someone wearing his face but none of his graces. Wukong sees Tang as a friend, and a darn good one too! It's just that... he gets wistful thinking about his old mentor...

HeroIsBack: "Liuer!?" Instantly assumes from the hair and outdated robes that Tang is an older version of Liuer, and panics thinking he missed out on seeing him grow up. After his Liuer wanders in and confirms Tang isn't him, HeroIsBack!SWK breathes a sigh of relief. Ultimately thinks Tang is lazy, but is a good person to banter with over noodles.

Reborn: "...whomst?" He knows for a fact that his Sanzang is alive and well, and that Tang lacks his master's mole + baldness, so to see someone with the Golden Cicada's soul just sitting there in this new world is a bit jarring. Thinks Tang is a lazy coward. But one who's getting better at it.

NewGods: Is really quiet. Sits down next to Tang without breaking eye contact, like he's trying to figure something out. Once Tang breaks the tension by introducing himself, NewGods!SWK takes on the vibe of an old man who thought he recognised an old friend. NewGods likes Tang's sense of humor (and in noodles), but is clearly a little sad when the scholar talks about the Monkey King's adventures and companions.

Netflix: "When did grow your hair out??" He just met his Tripitaka, so he's just getting to know him. He likes Tang though! He loves hearing the stories about himself, and he loves how chill Tang is about Netflix!SWK's more anxious habits. He hopes his Tripitaka is as cool as him...

2000sCartoon: "Hi! You smell like my Master! But you are not him! Prepare to be vanquished!" :3 Assumes by gut reaction that Tang is an imposter demon and tries whacking him with his staff. LMK!SWK has to pull him off to explain. Afterwards he treats Tang like his "back-up master" and gets confused when he gets conflicting intructions from the two of them.

Smash: "What the fck. I was only gone for like a few days!" I hc that his Tripitaka is a younger guy (Smash Legends do be having fantasy cyberpunk vibes), so the first time Smash!SWK sees Tang, he's thinking his Tripitaka (or "Trips" as he calls him) has aged rapidly. Afterwards tho, he treats Tang like a boring history teacher. Yawning and making paper airplanes mid-backstory intro and all.

Edit; forgot Meihouwang

Meihouwang SWK & LEM: They have no idea who the Great Monk is, but they really like Mr Tang! He tells all these cool stories about monkey heroes and friendship, and he lets them flip through his books! He'd be loved as a storyteller back on the mountain.

New Legends of Monkey squad meeting Lego Monkie Kid squad

(After the initial shocks of the physical differences between them, of course.)

The two Pigsies would probably bond well over their shared love of cooking and also having to babysit the rest of the group half the time.

The Sandies would get along too--I mean, anyone can get along with LMK Sandy. He'd make her tea and listen to whatever strange things came into her head.

Tripitaka would probably be a bit thrown by Tang at first--they're the most different of all the pairs, even more than the two Sandies. But they could likely end up getting along.

Monkey and Wukong would get into an ultimate sass-off lasting the entire duration of their knowing each other. Monkey laughs at the fact that Wukong called his Tripitaka "Master" and Wukong is like "How many items of immortality did you manage to get again?" This goes on for a while.

Mei is hella salty that this other group doesn't even know who Ao Lie is.

MK is just kinda hyped. He's curious about this other Monkey King but quickly decides he prefers his own. Then he just spends time with Mei so she doesn't feel left out.

What are your thoughts on the New Legends of Monkey on Netflix? How bad is it?

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA okay calming down. So it's been awhile since I watched any of that neflix show but from what I remember in my opinion it committed some of the cardinal sins of bad JTTW adaptations such as A) Forcing a romance (and between a genderswapped "Tripitaka" & the Monkey King no less) B) Erasing a lot of the moral complexities and ambiguities inherent in the og classic C)Largely replacing the more ambiguous moral characters of humans and yaoguai with the pure good & pure evil characterizations you find in western ideas about God and demons D) Turning the Monkey King into a muscle-head who didn't know how to read and E) Deleting all the pilgrims' yaoguai-ness so they look like just guys. And that's what I remember off the top of my head. So my conclusion: pretty darn bad!

[real-sun-wukong-fan01]

hellohellohellohello. please elaborate on your swap au. i really liked it and would like to a role reversal (i suppose?) about it i’m just weak to those role reversal and swap aus.

Of course!

It's an AU which the concept was not original by me, i just made my own version of it.

in this Swap AU, the new hero and legend is the Monkei Kid! Or MK for short.

i already talked about the jttw crew, but let's talk about them again.

Tripitaka, takes the role of Mr. Tang, but he isn't a freeloaders or a schooler, he is a teacher and he is legally sun wukong adoptive father. Along with Zhu bajie, Sha wujing and ao lie.

Zhu bajie, who takes the role of Pigsy, does not run a noodle shop! he is actually unemployed.

And then we have Sha wujing. The one who has the role of sandy.

he actually works as a cook, dosen't run anything, but he works as a cook.

Then MK student, Sun Wukong.

Who is a gamer developer with also a medical degree with him.

we have other roles, such as Ao lie, who takes Mei role, but he's pretty much the little rich kid who watches the chaos from afar.

The six eared macaque, who takes the role of that one kid who's trying to steal sun wukong appearance and fame, he's seen often trying to copy him. (Exactly in the book.)

[Sun Wukong and the six eared macaque are human!]

Then nezha, also a human, not an immortal.

He's more of that one kid, who is friend to sun wukong, but often fights with him for random stuff.

the Monkey kid? he's an immortal who looks like a child. That's where his name comes from!

Always described as this serious and collected hero, who imprisoned red son under the mountain those years ago.

But by wukong description? Just a clingy dude.

Sure, it's fun training and he likes the man, but whenever he doesn't come to work after a few days the guy always cries and gets clingy. Talks about "him leaving" or something. Got some bad attachment issues or whatever

..he was just trying to work on his game..

the roles for the jttw crew are taken by Tang,Pigsy, Mei and Sandy, can't say much for them. They died.

But now Ao lie is the new samadhi fire fourth ring!

Chang'e is not an immortal, she works in a famous shop nezha and bajie often hang out with.

..bajie always tries to flirt with her.

DBK and PIF are two friends of sun wukong who started drifting off. That while PIF never liked sun wukong, DBK recently started drifting off for personal reasons between the two.

Then we have the lady bone demon, which is one of those mean girls who often picks a fight with sun wukong, and the mayor who's actually a kid pretending to be LBD bodyguard.

Sun Wukong became MK successor because wukong took the staff when he was bickering with DBK. None of the two wanted to free red son, they did it accidentally.

there isn't much for the other roles as many characters are from the book himself and i couldn't just let them be the same, they are part of jttw and sun wukong, not MK.

so the roles such as LBD, PIF, DBK and the new mayor are free currently, feel free to fill them!

Zhàoliàngdēng/Lighting Lanterns and Its Divergence From Canon

hi, in this post i'm just talking about L2's differences when compared to the source material, Journey To The West!

1.) Aging

In JTTW, it's stated that 1 day in Heaven is equal to 1 year on earth. I always like the idea of celestial aging working differently from mortal aging, and Wukong is an immortal monkey, so he gets to deal with my bullshit.

Using @journeytothewestresearch's When Was The Monkey King Born?, I was able to create an approximate age for JTTW!Wukong!! It's as follows:

342 years old when Wukong crosses his name out of the Book of Life and Death. 100+ years as Great Sage. 10+ years as Bimawen. 49 years in the Trigram Furnace. 617-649 years under Five Phases Mountain. 27 years to go to and from India. ------------------------------------- 1,145 mortal years total, at least.

Now if I apply my celestial vs earthly aging here (and do 1,145/365), I get 3, which makes Wukong a celestial toddler lol. And that's not what I'm going for.

So then I went through a long journey of adjusting time differences and arrived here:

342 years old when Wukong crosses his name out of the Book of Life and Death. 90 years as Bimawen. 161 years as Great Sage. 49 years in the Trigram Furnace. 645 years under Five Phases Mountain. -------------------------------------------- 1,287 earthly years total.

Note: the 27-year journey is removed since I'm looking for his age at the beginning of the AU.

So, yeah. Rather than 1 day in Heaven being equal to 1 year on Earth, 5 days in Heaven are equal to 1 year on Earth. Here's the rest of the conversions bc mental illness (/hj). Big thanks to one of my Discord besties who did like all the math <3

1 Earthly Year = 5 Celestial Days 1 Earthly Month = 10 Celestial Hours 1 Earthly Week = 2.5 Celestial Hours 1 Earthly Day = 21.5 Celestial Minutes 1 Earthly Hour = 54 Celestial Seconds 1 Earthly Minute = 893 Celestial Milliseconds 1 Earthly Second = 15 Celestial Milliseconds

ANYWAY. With all that, I can do (1,131 E.Y x 5 C.D)/365 = 17.6301 C.Y, making Wukong about 17 1/2! So Wukong isn't a Grandpa Sun in the AU, as he's meant to be closer to the other MC's (Xiàhǎi) age... for reasons.

Note 2: there may be mistakes here because math is not my strongsuit... feel free to lmk lol.

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

2.) Plot/Characters

L2 doesn't quite follow JTTW; it's a bit more like Monkey King: Hero Is Back (2015) where a wandering child inadvertently frees Wukong and drags him into a heroic mess. This means there's no 27 year journey to and from India (at least I think lol), and arcs in JTTW may not be included or moved around (I'm in the process of reading the book, so I'm hoping to have subplots related to certain arcs or enemies!)

It also means Tripitaka, Bai Longma/Ao Lie, Bajie, and Wujing aren't going to appear as they do in JTTW—or at least I think. Xiàhǎi may fill Tripitaka's role (considering the plot isn't related to the scriptures), but as for the other three... I don't know yet! Maybe they'll come in different forms, or maybe I'll just do my own take on the three.

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

3.) The Circlet/Fillet/Crown

The metal band that goes by many names! So there's several methods to Wukong getting stuck with the circlet—being tricked into wearing it (book JTTW), wearing it as some sort of punishment (I think this is the case in Monkey King: Hero Is Back?), or putting it on himself out of curiosity (The New Legends of Monkey).

For my purposes it'll probably be a punishment thing because I am a sucker for arcs like the one in Hero Is Back... HOWEVER I think I'll still have it function like it does in the book with a command.

SO thanks to @/journeytothewestresearch and this article, the "Tightening Spell" (also called "Migrane Spell", "Tight-Fillet Spell/Sutra", or "Old Saying Sutra") is formally the Mantra of Akshobhya! Since it's long, I imagine the circlet responds immediately and lasts until the mantra is over.

But that's just the theory for now!

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Hopefully more to come, I'm currently working on designing Wukong + Xiàhǎi and will hopefully be able to show them off soon :)

Great days and good nights!
