She hunted on my man 'till I spider

Edit: I added his non-coat version under cut bc maybe you guys deserve it after all

They all know Hunts....

The spider queen and the other spider demons have Wukong trapped in their web~

I was thinking back to Revenge of the Spider Queen and how Wukong would interact with Spider Queen and, if I'm being honest, he was kind of misogynistic. At least, at first glance. Examples are the way he'd constantly refuse to call her by her title and the fact he put emphasis on the fact he was king while she was queen.

But then I thought of it by another perspective.

What if... when he called her Princess and such, he wasn't mocking her gender, but her abilities as a monarch? When he'd first met her in JTTW, she'd been living in a shack. Her 'kingdom' was an old, rundown shack. Her current kingdom was a sewer with only three actual subjects of her own. If that isn't a sign of a poor ruler, I don't know what is.

Monkey King, he drinks his Respect Women juice. He grew up in a troop of primarily matriarchal monkeys who eventually chose him as their first king after he proved himself to them. But you can bet he took one look at that musty, half torn down abandoned shack the Spider Queen was living in on that journey and decided that he couldn't possibly respect THIS woman. Not with how hungry and small her kingdom was. And he still can't respect her thousands of years later. Humans and Demons now have the ability to live side by side, and he'd been MIA the past several centuries. Is she seriously so incompetent that she couldn't get housing for herself!?

Yeah, that "Well, I'm the King"-line always felt really weird to me. Something like "Not my Queen" or "And do you know what happens to Queens who can't rule? They step down!" would have worked a lot better. Maybe a translation issue?

Heck, even a line about how monkeys typically eat spiders would have worked a little better.

I do hc that the Spider Queen and her six sisters were royalty at some point, but when their Kingdom fell, Spider Queen (the eldest) simply refused to acknowledge that there was no kingdom left for her to govern.

The Pilgrims come across the sisters living in a shack in the middle of the woods like the fairies in Sleeping Beauty. Spider Queen introduces herself as such to the gang and Wukong just busts out laughing like;

Wukong: "Lol, no. I have like over a thousand living subjects back home in Alolai who recognise me as King. You've got like six family members and a bunch of bugs. I hesistate to even call you a dethroned princess."

Cue a Huge cat-fight between SWK and Queenie that interrupts the regularly-scheduled monk-kidnapping and pig-creeping.

And centuries later, Wukong meets Spider Queen again living in a gotdang sewer!?

Any respect SWK *may* have gained for Spider Queen's upgraded fighting abilities/having actually cronies, disolves immediately when he realizes that this "Queen" hasn't even a plan for taking care of her subjects (what happens when the venom wears off/the zombies drop?), or what she's gonna do with that big generator mech when she's done taking over.

Not only that, but she captured a *lot* of legit demon royalty in her plan - royal either through birthright, might, or election. She's gonna incur a lot of fury from revengeful spouses, family members, subjects, perhaps even the Underworld itself!

In Wukong's mind, this "barely-a-princess" is on the fast track to have the shortest reign in existance. Meanwhile, he's been King for about 1000+ years XD

Spider Queen appreciation post

"I used to be the most feared creature in the land. I wasn't a queen, I was the queen. Empress of Terror and Mistress of Horror.”

Syntax: Are you ok?

Spindrax: Yes, I’m fine.

Syntax: Really? Because it looks like you need a hug… I’ll go get Huntsman.

Summary:

This film is also called "Journey to the West" and is part of a series with its next film "Zhu Bajie Saves Beauty vs. Leopard". The story of this film is based on "Old Mother Lishan", "Pansi Cave", "Lady White Bone" and "Princess Baihua".

Tang Sanzang and his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing were ordered to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. One day, they were passing by Mojiazhuang and wanted to stay overnight. Mrs. Mo said that her husband died early, leaving no one to inherit the property and fields. She and her three daughters were the only ones to depend on, and she intended to marry the four masters and disciples of Tripitaka. Seeing that his daughters were young and beautiful, Zhu Bajie became lustful, and Sanzang quickly objected. When Mrs. Mo was refused, she kicked them out. The master and his disciples slept in the countryside, and Bajie returned to Mojiazhuang at night, just about to embrace the beauty. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed, and Bajie's cry for help was heard again. It turns out that Old Mother Lishan came down to earth to test them and punish Bajie. Bajie realizes his mistake and embarks on the journey with Master and others again.

The climax of the plot is when Sanzang and others are trapped by the yellow-robed monster, and Zhu Bajie rushes to Huaguo Mountain to seek help from Sun Wukong. It shows Tang Sanzang leading his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing on an arduous journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

No arms under cut bc I liked the way i drew his build

Spider demons and silly sweaters 🎄❄

(Based on my own minifigures)

What if the reason Angel doesn’t like his feet is because people often step on spiders to kill them and he’s a Spider Demon.
