LISTEN--I just find the concept of Erlang getting an unspoken crush on Wukong after their death battle SO FUNNY

[ID: An illustration of the Yang siblings in their childhood and in the present. The Yang siblings are running happily to the left in their childhood, arm in arm and laughing. Yang Jiao, dressed in red, holds a stick. Yang Jian, dressed in maroon, grabs onto Yang Jiao's arm, himself holding a slingshot. Dressed in yellow, Yang Chan is similarly holding onto Yang Jian's arm, with a wooden sword in her free hand and another tied to her belt. In the present, Yang Jian and Yang Chan are uncolored, dressed as gods and both looking off to the right side forlornly. They stand at roughly the same position as their childhood selves, so that there is a noticeable empty spot at where Yang Jiao should have been. End ID]

I've seen people mention that Sun Wukong got married or at least, one of the versions mentions that. It makes me wonder how it works because if we assume that Wukong was a monk's student, then why is there a version where he gets married? I also wanted to know a little more about that version you mentioned that Erlang was married

You might be talked about the Zaju play version which was an earlier version of the Sun Wukong we know today.

That version of Wukong is a vicious, perverted, stupid, cowardly version of Wukong that was actually formed to be the comedic relief (similar to how Bajie is considered the clown in Xiyouji) of the play and to be considered a clown to be laughed at rather than the intelligent, strong, and cunny Wukong we get in the Wu Cheng'en's version. In the Zaju version Wukong kidnapped himself a wife before he became a monk, Princess of the Golden Cauldron country, against her will I might add, and kept her as a trophy in his cave. He also makes several passes at other women like Princess Iron Fan and the Queen of Women's Kingdom in the play, and even Sanzang suggesting that the monk wants him for his "thin waist."

Needless to say, this version is vastly different than the one that was created nearly 200 years after the play when Wu Cheng'en made Wukong to be more of a mischievous rascal rather than a full blown clown to be mocked by the audience. There have been no modern interpretations of this Sun Wukong as the Wu Cheng'en version is considered the 'canon' Wukong. The reason that Zaju at least make someone sense is that he got married before he was a Monk.

There are some media that does have Wukong with a wife but those are by different authors after Wukong completes his journey. Journey to the West Supplement has it that he married Princess Iron Fan in a dream. Journey to the South suggests that maybe Wukong marries as he has direct kids (assumed biological) but never mentions he has a wife actually. And of course some more modern media has that he has children without or without a wife being mentioned. Depends on what you are watching. And the best I can tell you is that those authors simply are asking that their audience give a little 'suspicion of disbelief' that I have talked about before for the sake of having the narrative flow. NO, it does NOT make sense and it CAN'T really work logically but rather than focusing on that, that plot point is largely ignored to continue the narrative. Such as Wukong just having kids and not mentioning a wife or simply never acknowledging how that doesn't make sense. I talked about that a bit when discussing Wukong's failed romances in media before as there are a lot of movies and shows where Wukong does have a SO but they are usually met with a death fate for the sake of continuity. So there are many versions where he does get married, even if none of them make continuity sense.

And yeah! Lotus Lantern Prequal 2009 was the one where Erlang Shen got married and divorced! It was made after the Lotus Lantern TV show 2005 which was such a hit it made this spinoff. I'll put a link for you if you want to see it! But it pretty much just follows Erlang Shen and his sister Sanseng Mu and how their lives led up to the Lotus Lantern 2005 show.

Erlang Shen: Wukong, this is my Family. Everyone, this is my Wukong.

Erlang Shen:

Erlang Shen: wait—

Sun Wukong: no, he's right, i am his Wukong

Sansheng Mu: YES! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! *dances around them like a very happy little girl*

Liu Yanchang: *doesn't understand gay stuff but will accept it, if it means his brother-in-law will leave them alone* Congrats.

Chenxiang & Nezha: About fucking time.

Jade Emperor: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I saw your post about Wukong and Sansung Ma being.... a THING? in like a Lotus Lantern movie?? Can I ask which movie that is wild

WAEGRFEFDF okay so I think this film isn't even out yet and I was only aware of that plot point because of @antidotefortheawkward...I really don't know anything about the film beyond the cursed romance (and the overall fear that this is going to be some sort of dogshit "forbidden romance" excuse to get Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen fighting all while Sansheng Mu serves primarily as reason for said fight rather than as a character with agency), but he might have more info about the title and release date! And yeah I am just an amateur JTTW associated media connoisseur at best but from what I've seen when it comes to retellings of Xiyouji the Monkey King now has THE most abysmal record in terms of A) Being routinely shoved into romance plots and B) The romance plots are absolute ass (X_X)

#anon answered #sun wukong #monkey king #sansheng mu #one can hope and pray in spite of everything that they might do something interesting with the scenario #but past experience means i don't have my hopes up like at all chief #i've now made fun of this trend repeatedly #but it is kind of wild just how many jttw retellings consistently follow the pattern of: #sun wukong gets freed->acts like an asshole towards his love interest->love interest dies->he gets Sad #so as per usual shout out to my monkey girl rin rin #the only sun wukong love interest to make it to the end of the retelling happily & without dying

Yang siblings moment

[ID: Sketches of Erlang Shen and Sansheng Mu in casual wear. The sketches are uncolored except for their lineart, purple for Erlang Shen and yellow for Sansheng Mu. In the first sketch, Sansheng Mu is hugging Erlang Shen and saying, "Having a twin when you're trans is great. You always have a 'before and after' to compare." Erlang Shen looks grumpy while Sansheng Mu looks smug. In the second, the two are drawn more chibi-style from the shoulders up. Sansheng Mu is squinting at Erlang Shen saying, "And boy am I glad I transitioned." Erlang Shen rolls his eyes in response and says, "Literally both of us look like Mom." End ID]

Here are some theories that I have about lego Erlang shen

First theory: Erlang shen is sun wukong's sworn brother, but not only that Erlang shen is SWK's first sworn brother. I knew him long before he was sun wukong much more than any of the other sword brothers.

His sister sansheng mu was also very good friends with SWK

Are there any images of Erlang's younger sister? I've been trying to find one but I'm not sure if it's her.

I think there are a few!

Here is a few! I can't say when these were made exactly but I think they are really based of the Opera Lotus Lantern and how she is portrayed in those. If not I would suggest just trying in 三圣母 to get the best results on your own!

Erlang Shen: Great Sage is attractive, I'll give him that.

Sanshengmu:

Erlang Shen: Disgustingly so, of course.

Sansheng Mu: ... Just admit you have the hots for him.

Erlang Shen: Excuse you???

Sansheng Mu: Hey, it's okay! I support you!
