(same anon) okay wait first of all disclaimer the jokes about dazai + suicide do definitely exist and are a very loud + unavoidable part of bsd! it's often played for laughs, it's just that underlying it is: a huge part of bsd is the theme of suicide + the worth of living, and it shows up time and time again with even minor characters, and it's simultaneously... not a joke. and to me the comedy doesn't cancel out that it has been clearly and deliberately factored into dazai as a character to be so performative about this. (i do also think that like. the jokes feel more like they are coming from the inside of someone whose struggle with suicidal ideation is a large part of their worldview than they feel... mean-spirited? which makes a difference to me)
obligatory note the fandom as a whole is like. it's fair to engage w the fandom more than canon (have definitely done that with different pieces of media!) but looking at you so seriously and going i'm so sorry the fandom is so so evil in comparison to canon. which is not to say anything except that if you ever end up picking up more of bsd i would recommend going in with minimal preconceived notions— i have a lot of issues with popular fanon, though i would not be as bothered by it (-> it is like. pretty standard cookie-cutter fanon dedicated to a juggernaut m/m ship) if i were not so fond of bsd in its original form as i am. i can definitely elaborate on that i just think i would end up typing much more of an essay in ur askbox.
anyway: once again super valid to take issue with the original premise of the manga but would be interested to see what you think overall if you pick up bsd again!
i see about the dazai stuff... it never seemed mean-spirited to me, the issue i have with it personally is more so the very real repercussions dazai's suicide irl had on so many people as i mentioned before & how kind of callous it always seemed to me? but if as you said it ties more into themes from the series on life/death/etc + like actual commentary other than purely some weird kind of comedy relief (what i thought it was) there's more room for discussion i think. although i'll always find it a little distasteful i think similar to my feelings about the entire premise of the manga lol,
i hear too about the fandom............ i mostly engage with fandom in general through fic rather than actual like fandom spaces & that was largely the case with bsd too (i read fic for it before i did anything else which is something i've done for quite a few other things too) & no one wants to know the pain i have inflicted upon my dear friend blowing up her messages complaining about The Issues so many of them have (even as i read them anyway...), and if i'm picking up what you're putting down then in particular those about the ship you mention... i haven't delved that deep into fandom discussion on tumblr, mostly just looked at art, but what i've picked up has been, well, ,,,
in any case knowing for sure there is more to it than the horrors of the fandom is reassuring....
#i didn't want to put this in the main text because who knows what could happen but when i went through fic there was like#an honestly incredible amount of embedded sexism in the way so many people wrote Those Guys#plus so many more issues. i can't go into the rage i was once capable of because i haven't read anything but my bookmarks in a long while#one of the worst fandoms i think i've ever seen wrt reading comprehension/actual engagement with the original media#and i have read quite a lot from some awful fandoms#i always thought personally with bsd that it would be easier for me to deal with i guess if they just used like fictional characters from#the authors writing or something like that. oba yozo from nlh or nick from gatsby or whatever#the logistics of that with copyright and stuff would probably be hell though#although i am pretty sure there are like gacha games that do that i swear to god i've seen anime boy (or girl?) raskolnikov somewhere#i read orv a couple years ago and there was some pretty crazy stuff in there too like having sun wukong and the christian angels or#whatever just There but because they were fictional i was able to just be kind of like well whatever it's happening and that's that#or as fictional as you see myth/religion#but anyway beyond logistics maybe it would change his message or something. i don't really know without having read it#also i would like to apologise again for my horrible opinions#honestly embarrassed anyone saw that post in the first place i say lots of unimportant thoughtless things

hi! Feel free to not respond, but currently by dog is really sick and has this huge tumor and I know I’m gonna have to put him down soon and it really sucks, but your writing has made this a bit better so could I possibly request Sun Wukong and/or Macaque x reader with a dog? Like how would they react and would they like-call themselves the dogs parent or stuff like that? Feel free not to of course!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry for the late response anon (this ask has been sitting in my inbox for some time now). But I hope you're still around and enjoy!
Wuong and Macaque with an S/O who has a dog
Wukong:
Tumblr media
Gods, Wukong LOVES your dog.
You’ll be making a snack for the two of you and you’ll just be hearing the monkey man giggling in the next room as the two play a classic game of tug of war.
You thought it was cute, at first. 
When you realized it was with your sweater, you put an end to it real quick. 
Now in his defense, he didn’t even notice!
Totally calls himself dad to your dog, he spoils the shit out of them.
AVOID PET STORES AT ALL TIMES!
“Hey peaches, you think (dog name) needs this?”
Wukong, no your dog does not need 12 new toys they barely plays with the five new ones you got them at home…
You sometimes bring your dog to Flower Fruit mountain for a small walk and visit which Wukong is ecstatic about.
 The dog is strictly only allowed inside the house for their safety but you three definitely do late night cuddles on his couch. 
You laying against Wukong on one side and your dog resting its head on the other in his lap.
You open your eyes to look uo and see Wukong gently petting them and gently scratching behind their ear with upmost care. 
You smile and close your eyes once more, falling asleep with his arm wrapped around you.
Macaque:
Tumblr media
Hilariously, Macaque was kinda nervous around your dog at first.
He won’t admit this to you of course (gotta look all tough in front of you0 but you could tell by the freeze and twitch of his tail. 
Didn’t help the your dog was jumping up at his legs. 
“W-Woah, hey there little guy…”
He tries so hard to keep his cool, cut him some slack. 
However, spending more time with them, he becomes more chill and used to it.
He loves your dog after some time, he even offers to take care of them while your at work.
While your on break, he walks them to your work with some food to surprise you.
“Hey sugar plum, surrrprise.” His smooth voices calls out to you as you sat on a park bench outside your work. 
You smile and he kisses your cheek, your dog barking out for you in excitement and you three spend your limited time together. 
Lots of dates where your dog tags along, one including going to the dog park. 
Macaque was in his human disguise but you could still tell he was a bit unnerved being around so many dogs.
You squeezed his hand, assuring him he was ok and you were there with him.
You couldn’t see it but his tail would’ve flailed like crazy from that.

A "MK is Related to the Underworld Somehow. Probably." List With Commentary (And I Consider it Evidence for EAMK)
Tumblr media
(1x08 Skeleton Key)
(LIKE CAN I PLEASE HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS SCENE. CAN I PLEASE HAVE AN EXPLANATION??? WHAT. WHY. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN GIVE HIM THE KEY IN THE FIRST PLACE.)
-
Tumblr media
(1x08 Skeleton Key)
(Idiot boy putting the skeleton key in his ear.)
-
Tumblr media
(2x03 Pig Pong Panic)
(MK + Bones. Never a good sign)
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(2x05 Minor Scale)
(Is this perhaps just LBD trying to take control of MK? Maybe. Is it also really weird how her powers interact with MK in general? For sure!)
-
Tumblr media
(2x06 Game on)
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(2x07 Shadow Play)
(Number one: The Lady Bone Demon wasn't here to provoke this, number two: MK using "blue vision" to see his friend's fate inside the lantern is equally strange!)
-
Tumblr media
(2x09 72 Transformations)
(Again, could very well be LBD trying to take control of MK here—however, it doesn't seem like she's trying to do much of anything to MK in this scene, as she's focused on spider queen. So it weirds me out and goes into this post!)
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(3x03 Smartie Kid)
(So, if the stuff in s2 was LBD affecting MK then I get it. BUT THEN WHY HAVE MORE BLUE EYES IN S3 AFTER LBD HAS ALREADY "TAKEN" MK'S POWERS AND THE STAFF. Genuinely want to know what this was meant to imply.)
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(3x12 The Corrupted King)
(LBD HAS ALREADY POSSESSED WUKONG HERE. Wukong and the Mech alone was spreading her too thin. She certainly wasn't attempting to posses MK here—so what was happening?)
-
Tumblr media
(4x01 Familiar Tales)
(The scroll ink touches MK not once, but twice this episode and it doesn't ensnare MK. The scroll touches Monkey King once and this is what happens to him: )
Tumblr media
-
Tumblr media
(4x02 Familiar Tales)
(The scroll's ink emanates from MK, which I thought was crazy at first BUT IT THEN HAPPENS AGAIN IN 4x11)
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(4x03 The Great Tang Man)
(Soooo we see a vision of an all inked up MK, then we see the stone cracking, then we see a shot of the curse from 4x02, and THEN MK turns Tang Sanzang's golden power blue, a color associated with both LBD and the underworld in general. HM.)
-
Tumblr media
(4x06 Show Me the Monster)
(There's no hair flip so it's not MK, so it would make me think that this is an ink version of SWK next to the stone. It's weird so I'm including it!)
-
Tumblr media
(4x06 Show Me the Monster)
(So. Ink blotting out the sun, something MK/SWK are often associated with, and then pouring out of the cracked stone, which we just learned MK was born from. And then the curse takes MK's form. I'm tripping over my own conspiracy board here.)
-
Tumblr media
MK: "You're not my friend—you're NOT me!" Curse MK: "Sure I am! I'm your best friend, well, closest at least! I know more about you than you'll even admit—to yourself, or to others."
(4x07 Pitiful Creatures)
(The curse claiming it's a part of MK is weird! The curse looking like MK in it's most weakened state is also weird! It's all weird!)
-
Tumblr media
(4x08 The Brotherhood)
(Absolutely no reason for a weird teal smudge to be there, and yet)
-
Tumblr media
(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)
(BOOM. SCROLL EMANATING FROM MK AGAIN.)
-
Tumblr media
(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)
(The broken memories flickering in the scroll are very similar to the way MK flickers in and out of monkey form: )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-
Tumblr media
(4x13 Rip and Tear)
(Scroll ink touches MK again and he does not become imprisoned inside it again. The scroll at the very least has no affect on the boy)
-
And I think for now that wraps up this post!

If sun wukong managed to get the golden fillet off his head during the journey what would happen in your opinion? Like, would he immediately fuck off back to flower fruit mountain, go on a murderous rampage with his newfound freedom or would there be a touching moment between the group where he choses to stay on the journey (showing his growth as a character and how he choses to better himself without having be forced to do so),
Also how would the rest of the group react? I imagine they’re all probably terrified cause what if he choses to get vengeance for being forced into a journey and punished for things he doesn’t care about ect
I suppose the answer to this does all rely on WHEN that happens... Wukong does eventually become a better person, or.. monkey. But me personally, I do greatly prefer dealing in "early Monkey" hehe.
the kind of Wukong i love is the one that is perfectly happy being very manipulative, lulling Tripitaka into a false sense of security just so he can escape and be free to be as dangerous and crazy as he wants.
The rest of the group? You bet Pigsy and Sandy would see straight through him. The only thing keeping everyone safe at that point is Wukong keeping that headband on. But Tripitaka, bless this poor priest's heart, is still too young and naive- far too trusting.
Tumblr media
Far
far
FAR too trusting
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But fortunately this may be the only kind of trick Wukong can play once. Tripitaka may be trusting, but stupid? far from it

Macaque x GN!Reader: Studies Over Me
Of course, I’d do a studying/overworked reader with Macaque after doing one with Wukong. It seemed only fair since I have been gone for so long. Hope you guys enjoy~~~
Warnings: Angst with fluffy ending!!! Also literally one line referencing potential Shadowpeach, but it could be read as platonic or romantic, if you so choose. Just generally Macaque being a petty bish because he’s a sad monkey baby.
Tumblr media
College was a handful, no matter how many classes you take. It’s everything hard about regular school, but now you’re paying money to go, and professors sneer at you if you have even one C level grade on your transcript. The pressure was hard for Y/n. This was the semester they took English Composition, which basically was code for: Essay Class.
Macaque knew that Y/n was stressed with school, as he had known them since they took their first semester before this one. But even if he knew the that they were struggling, he didn’t really understand how the struggles felt. What made it tricker for him was the fact that this was the first semester Y/n had started since they and Macaque had begun dating. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, Macaque felt sad bitter that he wasn’t getting as much attention from Y/n because they were so focused on their class.
When they weren’t in class, Y/n seemed to only be able to talk about school. Did they hear about that new movie coming out? They won’t be able to go see it since they have class and homework. Read any new books? Only their textbooks. Write anything fun? Only essays. Talk to anyone interesting? Their group dropped the ball on a project together. Seriously, Macaque loved cared about Y/n so much. But jeez, he wished he could get them to maybe talk about his shadow plays. Or maybe the crazy shenanigans MK’s crew had going on with their last adventure. Perhaps talk about having another date night movie night and cuddle.
One thing that anyone could guess is that Macaque is new to dating, let alone dating someone as amazing as Y/n. How had he gotten lucky enough to be with them when he had all these issues? How had he been so lucky to be with someone so smart, kind, and affirming of him and his traumas. Even though Macaque would always worry deep down that he would scare them them away, Y/n stuck around and reassured him that they always would stay. They promised that they would always stand by him. That they would never leave him.
But why did it feel like that was exactly what they were doing now that they were back in school again? Macaque got so used to having Y/n with him almost always when they were off for a semester. Now though, he would be lucky to get to hang out with them for a few hours once a week!! Macaque tried desperately to keep the tightness in his heart at bay when he thought of these facts. He missed Y/n. He missed them so much. He really did. He didn’t want to admit it, and would probably deny it to his next death, but it just made him think of…him…But as he stared at his phone, laying on his couch, looking at the message he typed out a minute or two before, he felt conflicted.
‘Hey, u wanna come over? Wanna talk.’
As much as he wanted to send the message, Macaque was nervous about doing so. But he felt the tightness in his chest turn almost into a festering ball of emotion in his stomach, so he was between a rock and crazy place. He sighed and pressed send, missing the button once or thrice from his thumb shaking. He held his phone close as he waited for his loving partner read the message and hopefully respond quickly. After about ten seconds, he saw that Y/n read the message. But what rose a tiny bit annoyance in Macaque’s stomach, further growing the ball of emotion settling there, was that Y/n just sent a thumbs up emoji. Nothing else. He sighed and sat up on his couch, slamming his phone face down onto the table harder than he meant to, which made him flinch slightly at the loud noise made. Macaque decided to just get a glass of mango juice and try to wait for Y/n as patiently as he could.
When Y/n made it to Macaque’s tiny hut, they immediately noticed his salty expression on his face. To be fair, he had that expression often, but not around them. “Hey, Macaque.” They said, closing the door behind them and looking around. Something was different. “Did you clean the hut before I came here?”
Macaque huffed, a smirk on his face, but it was clear he was annoyed by something. “Yeah, maybe I did. I can be busy, sometimes!”
The way he said that rubbed Y/n the wrong way, but they tried to not pry. Not right away, at least. “Have you been busy with your shadow plays or something?” Y/n asked as they kicked their shoes off and put them to the side.
Macaque’s eyebrow twitched. “Oh, you wanna know?” His tone was unconvinced.
“Okay, what’s wrong, Macaque?” Y/n was getting fed up with this fast and this was barely five minutes into the conversation.
“Nothing!”
“Don’t lie to me. You look like you’re trying to be passive aggressive and I want to know why.”
“Do you care?”
Y/n scoffed. “What do you mean ‘do I care’? Of course I care. You’re my partner and something I did is clearly making you upset but you’re not telling me what.”
“Well, I don’t know. You seem very interested in talking about school stuff lately and not much else! I’d hate to have ya talk about something else.” Macaque gave a fake smile, his body language and voice pulling out all of the fake innocence and theatrics.
“I-what? Is that what this is about?” Y/n was flabbergasted at this point, but Macaque clearly was just getting the argument started.
“Come on, Y/n. You may not have all my ears, but I know you heard me!”
“No, I heard you. But…you didn’t think to just say that this was bothering you?” Y/n asked, incredulously.
That made Macaque pause. He didn’t have a good rebuttal to that, given the shocked look on his face.
“Macaque, you could’ve just said that you wanted to talk about something else besides me in school, or you could’ve said that you wanted to spend more time with me, and I would’ve—”
Macaque covered Y/n’s mouth, effectively making them stop talking, his face beet red enough to blend in with the red markings on his face. He kept his hand there for a second, before he pulled Y/n into his chest with his tail, summoning a shadow portal underneath the pair to end up on the couch. Macaque pulled Y/n in close to him, laying the both of them back on the couch.
“You’re right…I’m sorry…” He said softly, his eyes downcast to the floor. “I-I’m not used to…this…” Macaque gestured between the two of them. “Not like I really ever had the chance to try this kind of thing much before.” He sighed. “I-I…I’m sorry.” He finally said, an embarrassed look on Macaque’s face.
Y/n smiled lovingly. “Macaque, I know you’ve been through a lot. I know you haven’t dated much.” Macaque blushed at that word, making Y/n laugh a bit. “And I know that you needed to spend time with me, too. Just next time, you can ask me. I promise you, I will never leave you just because you ask me to spend some more time with you.” Y/n sealed the promise with a kiss on his cheek.
Macaque flushed a bit more, a small smile on his face. Carefully, almost as if he was nervous, Macaque placed a hand on the side of Y/n’s face. He was a little surprised when Y/n snuggled into his hand, but his growing smile showed that he wasn’t one to complain. “What did I do to deserve someone as amazing as you?” He asked more to himself, then to Y/n. They laughed, kissing his nose, before whispering very softly in three of his ears.
“You were yourself.”

I had a train of thought about your Twice as Bad AU. Started with thinking “what if Peaches had a pet cat back at the village and it could see past the monkeys’ disguise?” Then I thought “wait, would it make more sense for her to have a farm animal as a pet? Like a little pig or goat?” And ended with “well I might not have had a pet if I were her but I’d definitely have a garden. And I would be VERY upset about getting stolen away from it. Even if it’s tiny, those are my plant babies!!!!” I guess all of this to say…what if Peaches had a pet? (As always, I love your stories and your art, Semi! Hope you are having a fantastic day! 🌼🌻🌷🌸☀️)
(pfft. 😆 they'd help her transfer her garden to the mountain if she missed it that much)
so, i think that in the beginning, if reader had a pet during the time that the monkey demons were visiting her as little normal monkeys, things probably wouldn't have turned out much differently. my first thought goes to the "sensing demons" thing. for easiness-sake, we'll say reader has a cat or a dog, since both of these pets have been known to be able to sense the paranormal.
when reader brings an injured, disguised macaque back to her home to patch him up, she has to shut the pet outside because of how crazy they're acting. they won't stop barking/meowing, their fur standing on end, and it's scaring reader's little guest. reader just figures the pet doesn't like a new animal in the house.
macaque knows that the pet can tell he's a demon, but he also knows he can just...make it disappear if it gets in his way, so he's not too concerned about it. when reader opens the door to let macaque go after bandaging him, he quickly gets into the trees. the pet hisses/growls at him from the ground, and he hisses right back. the six-eared demon still wants to see reader, but he'll need to distract the little pest if he wants some one-on-one attention from its mistress.
macaque, knowing that reader must love the stupid thing if she actively keeps it near, won't immediately kill it. so, he uses clones to keep the cat/dog busy in the forest during his visits. wukong, once he starts showing up, plans to just kill the stupid thing. ...what, reader has them now! what does she need this thing for? it's not like it's doing its job all that well anyways; he and mac keep coming back, don't they? overall, wukong doesn't care for the nuisance the pet is being; he's got beef with a cat/dog.
that brought up the idea of reader thinking that something might be wrong with her pet and asking around the village for something to calm them. a friendly old farmer listens to her troubles and warns, "If it only acts that way around those monkeys you're feeding, then perhaps it's trying to warn you, girl."
reader didn't know how right he would be.

what if monkey kings hear Y/N sing?
Oh it is something similar so this ask But this is the song they heard you sing
youtube
Tumblr media
(Lmk Wukong) Yo are you trying to make him cry. This song would hit where it hurts The fact that your basically tell him your still here and will always be there. He himself has told you multiple times that he brings danger and problems. He is irresponsible and impulsive that he is far from perfect. But here you are five hundred years later immortal and married to him despite knowing all of that stuff. It never fails to make him cry and question everything. And it never fails to make him appreciate you no matter what.
Tumblr media
(NR Wukong) He remembers this song. He remember this song all to damn well. The song that takes him back to your first meeting and the same song on your wedding. Your song holds the memories of every milestone he's ever had with you. He would always go Quiet when he's hears this song because every time he hears it he remember everything you guys been though and everything that will continue to come and will experience with you by his side loving his crazy ass to the end of time.
Tumblr media
(HIB Wukong) it feels like he is getting squeeze. Getting gripped till he just goes POP! He couldn't handle it anymore. He was hit with a waved of memories of the first meeting, becoming friends, first date, first kiss, him purposing, your wedding and Meeting Luier and Silly girl. All of the things he felt he didn't deserve but got anyway despite everything he done. He can stand it and held on to you hoping that he doesn't wake up all alone in that mountain once more.
Tumblr media
(MK Wukong) He's trying not to let you know that your song effects him but it's not working out. You do nothing but stay but support and love him even when things are god awful or when you get seriously hurt. But you would come to him injuries and all asking him I he was ok or I'd their is something you can do to help. He couldn't hold it in as he held on to you tears rolling down his face.
Tumblr media
(Netflix Wukong) Tears Tears Tears that all you will get from him. You have no freaking clue how important you are to him. He has nothing and he still loses everything if he lost you to he doesn't want to think about it. It would cost him whatever is left of his mental health. Your a Pillar, that keeps him up. An Anchor that keeps him from floating away and keeps him ground. Your song tells him that you are going absolutely no where. Not without him

The Warrior of Flower Fruit Mountain
Tumblr media
This is Macaques design from my Moana AU.
He is currently an enomurs and terryfing Shadow Monster, but he was once Sun Wukongs old "friend", and travel buddy on their many voyages together in the past.
Why is he like this? Well i made little angsty backstory, with clues to what happend to the once great Warrior.
You can read it either here, or on A03 where i also posted it (here)
The Voyager, The Sun and The Monster
Chapter 1 (Prolouge): Drowned by your Love
There is a small island, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, where both terrifying demons and small monkeys live together. One of these creatures inhabiting the Island, while just as much monkey and demon as the rest, stand outs quite a lot.
He has beautiful silk white hair, six magical ears, that can catch the wind flap of a bird thousands of miles away, and a pair of radiant golden eyes, that will pierce through anyone who dares come near.
His name? Liu Mihou. Also rightfully known as “The Warrior of Flower Fruit Mountain”
On normal circumstances The Warrior would be either be training, gathering food supplies for him and the other monkeys, or making his presence known, to any hostile idiot, dumb enough to try and challenge him. 
But not today. Today, you can find The Warrior in the early morning light, preparing for voyage he is not sure when, or if he will ever come back from.
Yet... The Silk Monkey knows it will be worth it. For the person he is looking for is worth everything, and more, that can be worth something in this world.
 “The King of Flower Fruit Mountain!”, “The great sage equal to heaven!”, “The Monkey King!”. Or, as Mihou knew him: “My Sun”.
Just a few hundred years ago, these two celestial monkeys were sailing through all the great oceans together. Battling through storms, strong enough to destroy entire islands, becoming more powerful than the other demons could ever hope to become, and at the same time forming a bond strong enough, to become something greater than friendship.
Except…that all changed when Sun Wukong started playing against a power, he was not prepared for. The power of the Jade Emperor.
This traitorous act against the emperor, would ultimately end in the great sage’s downfall, where he would be catched and imprisoned by the Buddha himself, and pinned down by his very hand. And now, he was now trapped under “Five Element Mountains”, until an unknown destiny would free him.
Nobody, not even the wisest of the immortals, knew when that day would come.
It’s been 500 years since the great sage’s new destiny, fell upon him. Yet now... he has disappeared.
Mihou didn’t know how or where, or if it was done by fair means or foul. He solely knew that the once immense mountain, that had once sealed away his sun, was now only rubles and ashes of its former greatness.
Initially Mihou had been exited, ecstatic even, about this news. However, he quickly realized that like mountain, the King too was gone.
No messages, no clues, no anything. He was truly… gone... But he wasn’t "gone, gone" that would be crazy! "Sun Wukong, The Great sage equal to heaven" could never, would never.... Yea... His sun is fine, he will surely find him!
Plus, Mihou got all the things he needs to find The King, his magic ears being a big part of it. And then… they can be together again, and everything will be balanced, just like before! After all, how can a moon shine without its sun?
He confidently looks down at his own reflection, his silk white hair and shining ears animated in the cold and radiant water below. Everything is going to be ok.
But then he notices the dark roots crawling up his hair.
Dark roots that are slithering its way inside his silk white hair, like an infection, and turning it as dark as a burned corpse.
And nearly, one thirds of his entire mane can’t reflect any of the suns glow back anymore. And it will never be able to do it again.
For a second, it catches The Warrior off guard, but he really shouldn’t haven’t been surprised by this.
These dark roots have slowly been taking up more and more of his silk white hair, for well… Mihou keeps failing to remember that, but it was before his sun disappeared, he knows that much.
Mihou closes his eyes, trying to push the thoughts back. But instead, an old memory creeps up, and fills his soul with dread.
...
A demon. It attacked them.
They were young, stupid and furthermore in love, and together, they thought nothing could stop. Neither in celestial realm nor on earth.
Sure, Mihou was barely half the power of his counterpart, but that didn’t matter. It never really had mattered. The only thing Mihou and Wukong had ever cared about was each other.
Except, this time, it DID matter. Because… Wukong got hurt. Badly hurt.
There had been so much blood… Macaque could barely look at him… and Mihou had started panicking… while a piercing cry had cut through the air, when his Sun was impaled… The world turned around… everything had become so awfully quiet.
And Mihou had just been STANDING THERE. He had done nothing, but tremoring in horror over the cursed remains that was his dying sun. And then that awful, awful demon that had HURT HIS SUN, started whispering terrible, terrible words in his all too powerful ears…
“Oh, how sad” … “did he mean much too you?” … “What a pity…” … “you should have protected him better then…”
And… He listened. For wasn’t it true?
Wasn’t he the one who now stood beside his fading sun, that could barely light any brighter than the flickers of an ending campfire? Wasn’t he the one who had just been standing by his side, while his sun had worked so hard for everyone. Worked so hard and continued getting stronger. To get strong enough to protect his people. To protect Mihou. And he is now dying for the sake of a six eared demon, that would never be able to pay him back. Mihou hadn’t earned any of that. Wukong hadn’t deserved that. Mihou was a traitor.
The demon didn’t even notice, before it was too late. The demon didn’t even notice, before his insides lay before him, and he lied next to it. The demon didn’t even seem to notice Mihou’s scream of agony and pain, before his soul had already left his body.
Everything after that was a blur.
A blur filled with small glimpses of his dying sun, while an unworthy Warrior had desperately tried to save him.
And when the world finally came back into the view, his sun… His sun was ok. His sun was ok. His sun was ok.
“Sorry I scared you so badly there, my dear moon”, Wukong had said with a sad look on his face. “I must admit, he wasn’t as strong as me, but he sure was clever.” His sun had said with a grin on his face.
And oh… How Mihou could have looked at that smile forever. Yet… he was constantly reminded of what had happened.
If that demon… If that god forsaken demon had been any stronger, just a bit, Wukong…
Mihou couldn’t risk that… Never again would he look at his dying sun, covered in his own torn open flesh and shattered bones. Never again would he hear, Wukong’s breath draw close to its final limit. Never again would The Great Sage be betrayed by his own Warrior, who he thought he could trust to always protect him.
For in The Warriors own eyes, he was a traitor. A foul soul who would simply overserve as a prejudiced destiny would drown out the only spark of hope left for their island and its people.
Hence why Mihou did, what he did next.
On the darkest day of the year, where the shadows rosed higher, than their own creators, Mihou stood in the middle of an abandoned Island. He was hoping for someone who could help. And soon enough, someone rose up. The silhouette of the darkness. A spirit. One made of magic not seen quite often.
“The six eared Macaque asks for my help. Don’t you have enough assistance from the king already?” the spirit remarked in a gravelly, judging, voice, whilst turning itself into a clone of The Great Sage to prove its point.
“Yes, please, I need your wisdom…”
“My wisdom… Well, there sure is a considerably amount of that, you will have to be more specific…”
Even though he knew exactly, what he had been come for, it still took Mihou a few seconds, before he finally answered:
“How do I protect someone, who is stronger than me? How do I make sure, I can help someone, when I barely have the strength of the wind, against a storm coming their way?”
Mihou could feel small tears starting to pierce through his eyes, yet he did little to stop them. “How do I make sure, I don’t betray the people I love, when they need me the most?”
The silence after that was barely enough time for the water to hit shore in its never-ending rhythm. Despite that, it had felt like millions of winters and summers had already passed, by the time the silhouette finally spoke again.
“There is one way….”
Mihou looked up.
“However, as all things, it comes with great consequences.”
“I will do anything, please! Just tell me what I need to do!”
The silhouette seemed to watch him like a hawk.
“You are more stupid than you look, Warrior of Flower Fruit Mountain.”
The shadow started morphing into something else.
“Liu’er Mihou, for my power you need to know. This power requires the utmost control. One step aside could lead you drowning in its pit, leaving you only as host to submit.”
The shadows showed The Warrior consumed by shadows, until there is no light left in him.
Mihou took a deep breath.
“How can I control it then?”
“Warrior, only destiny will be your reaper.”
It morphs back into its normal silhouette.
“Now… do you accept this power?”
Mihou, looking back, should probably have thought it more through. But back then, the guilt and love for his Sun had been so strong, it had almost blinded him.
“I do, I accept it.”
And then everything went black.
...
Hundreds of years later, Mihou still doesn’t know, how or when he ended back on Flower Fruit Mountain.
But that didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered then, was the power he had now. The power to protect the island, its monkeys and… his sun.
Wukong was skeptical at first, luckily the King had always been more of the oblivious type, so he quickly started to pride the new power as much as Lihou used too.
The newfound power Liu’er Mihou had gained were shadow powers. He could manipulate, create or absorb any shadow as he pleased.
This power also made it easier for him to learn the “72 transformations”, which Wukong had already learned hundreds of years ago, since Mihou could “copy” them using his shadow powers, until he didn’t need Wukong by his side anymore to do it.
Though, as all things, it wouldn’t last long until he learned the consequences of his choices firsthand.
Wukong and Mihou had been fighting a demon, who was stronger than what they were used to, but they had been fighting a lot of them recently, anyway. However, for just a second, Macaque had become cocky, and his let the shadow powers run free to devour their enemy whole.
Expect, after the fight was over, Macaque noticed the dark hair for the first time.
It had been small at first, barely noticeable, but with every “slip up” it had gotten more and more noticeable.
It wasn’t just if he got cocky in battle. If something had hurt him mentally, it would also grow. Which, when Wukong got trapped under the mountain… The infection had grown to the length of two small snakes crawling up his legs and arms in just a few hours.
Moreover, when they got into a fight while Wukong was trapped… The fur on his legs was almost completely black.
So, the 500 years that had slowly been passing by had been both a physically and mental war in his head, that from each day that had went by got closer and closer to winning…
The lack of a king also meant that more demons had started to attack Flower Fruit Mountain, therefore Macaque had to use way more power than usual, which would just make the curse worse...
And then every night, if it was a quiet one, he would cry himself to sleep, in his now empty nest.
Yet, as the black fur was getting dangerously close to his heart, which Mihou did not want to find out what happened if it reached it, there was… hope.
Wukong was free now after all!
Mihou was so sure, that as soon as they found each other again. When he could finally embrace that golden fur again, everything would be fine.
And as Mihou looked down the boat, now ready for the long voyage ahead, he felt A hope rise in his chest, for the first time in these 500 years.
Everything will be ok; nothing bad ever happen anymore.
Wukong is waiting for him after him after all!
Right?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOUR AU!!!!! IT'S SO GOOD!!! op, your ideas are fantastic, you're really creative and an awesome writer!! 💫🌟
The monkiefam dynamic is so fun to read about — and pretty sad in MK's case, the poor guy.
Hopefully it's not too dark of a question, but how brutal does MK get during the primal moon? If he gets too violent with reader, does Wukong or Mac try stopping him or would they just let the natural pecking order happen?
I feel so bad for him, he's is gonna have a hell of a time acknowleding all the stuff he did during the primal moon week :/
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! I’m glad people like my silly little things! (UPDATED to add a few extra characters!)
Thankfully for Y/N, MK isn’t too brutal- I don’t think they’ll come out with anything worse than a sprained wrist or ankle. The trauma will persist far beyond their injuries, however. When the last green moon of the week fades, he’s positively distraught.
Lining his hand curiously up to a slap mark on Y/N’s cheek to check it, tears brimming in his eyes when it lines up too perfectly to be a coincidence.
I don’t know whether he heartbrokenly distances himself or tries to make up for it with extreme smothering. The poor kid just wanted to spend what was supposed to “just another green moon” with one of his best friends.
And as for Macaque, though he’d really like to help Y/N… he just doesn’t have the ranking. MK is above him in the hierarchy, so he genuinely can’t do anything to upset or piss him off. This only that accomplishes is him getting smacked around right beside Y/N. All he can really do for them is apply herbal balm and bandages after the fact. If he hasn’t had a deal applied to his powers yet, Macaque might think about trying his shadow portals, but… it’s probably better not to risk having two angry monkeys on his tail, demanding to know where he’s hidden their beloved cub/rookie.
Sun Wukong is crazy delusional under the moon’s influence- to him, Y/N getting thrown and tosses all around is just “playfighting”, so he won’t interfere until after things get genuinely harmful. The moment he hears his little “cub” scream and start to cry, Old Sun is there in a second, bringing them into his arms and cooing softly. If they come to him begging for protection and use a “Bàba” to sweeten the deal, they’ll have his shelter for a number of hours, so it’s not impossible to get away from MK… just very hard.
And even after learning that something as severe as a broken wrist has occurred, Wukong coddles MK and forgives him on your behalf, writing the whole thing off as an accident. Not that you get any less smothering then him- you’re now stuck in bed with stuff bandages and surrounded by young mountain monkeys and sweet fruit. In a way, it saves you from any further rough play.
All three of them are dangerous in their own ways, of course. None are outright above “disciplining” you, with slaps or bites or shoves. There’s no bone-shattering or flesh-tearing, but they make you afraid that there will be.
———————————————————————
After the Primal Moon ends, there’s a lot of patching-up to do afterwards. For example…
Pigsy has to come down from the constant self-drugging, taking more than a few hours to compose himself and make the rounds with his friends, calling them all up in short order. Once he’s gotten through everyone- Tang, Sandy, Mei, even her parents… then he spends a few minutes making sure he hasn’t gored any holes into his restaurant. Unlocks the windows and doors, but doesn’t flip the open sign.
He’s not up to deal with customers right now. All he wants is to check on his kids.
He’ll take MK and you out to eat today, he thinks. You’ve both earned it, after a week of isolation up in your shared room, under strict instructions to stay inside and come down for no one and nothing.
Red Son is always horribly humiliated when everything is said and done, a groaning and red-faced mess of shame. Another week of essentially devolving into a child, desperate for love and attention. Another, slow, grudging week of constant begging for skinship and words of praise. Needless to say, he’s pissed off and looking for an outlet, and beating on the numerous Bull Clones just doesn’t seem all too enticing… when he’s got a much squishier target who’ll actually squirm and yelp?
Sure, he’s not going to outright mangle you. No permanent burns. No shattered spine. And he’ll take pity on you eventually and stop with the torment. After a few months, he might even start to like you.
Let’s hope you get there mostly unscathed.

Hello! I absolutely love your stories and I was wondering if you are open for request? If so, can you do a lmk sun wukong x reader who is a nine tail fox? I imagine that the reader as already have all of their nine tails, so that would make the reader probably as old as wukong (because you know 1 tail = 100 years)
of course only if it is possible for you, it’s ok if you are not open for requests. Thank you and have a nice day! (Keep making amazing stories, you have a serious talent)
Tumblr media
I am so sorry for not answering this sooner! I just got busy and then I got even more busier. Then recently I got super sick, but I guess it finally made me have enough time to write when I wasn't knocked out from the meds. But I am still taking requests, I'm just going to be quite slow. And I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted exactly or it lacks a certain luster to it, I'm running purely on meds right now and hoping I don't get worse in sickness.
Also chapter 3 may come out a little later since I got super sick.
Tumblr media
9th Tail Fox Reader x lmk Sun Wukong|| Oneshot
The sight of the once-flourishing city made you sigh in disappointment. It was tiring to see such good potential go to waste, especially under your watch. 
You wander in your shop, restocking and organizing the place. You can’t attract desperate people if the shop doesn’t look presentable after all. The ancient and magical artifacts are displayed nicely, while some more medicinal and less magical artifacts are more at hand reach. It's a nice little shop you have been building up through the long centuries. It's good to know that no matter how badly life brings you down, a fox spirit like you always bounces right back up.
 A small bell rang when someone entered through the door. Someone different…
The smell was strong and powerful, nearly knocking you out of your human form. There's only one being that could get that reaction out of you. Someone you told to never show their face to you ever again.
You turn to the door to see a ginger simian. Who waltzes right in, as if he owned the place. Checking the old artifacts, searching for something.
“Nope, get out, I am NOT getting wrapped in your messes, again.” You immediately storm your way up to him. Dropping your human act and looks. 
“Hey, cool stuff you got here. I would love to check it but I'm quite busy and on a task.” He ignores your aggressive attitude and continues to look around.
“You- Didn't I say to get out? Leave! I don't want to be wrapped up in your messes again!” You kept blocking his path, shifting into a smokey fox form. However, he just dodges you and continues searching your shop.
“Tell me, do you have any, artifacts or info on someone named the Lady Bone Demon?” He sits on the counter and finally looks at you. Even though he tries to keep his lazy attitude, there was an edge to it. Ready to get serious if the moment calls for it. 
You stand there for a second contemplating, staring down at him. A few more moments pass, so you can see what his intentions were exactly. Then a chuckle escapes from your throat before turning into laughter.
“You really came all the way here for something like that? Who or what lead you here to begin with? You certainly came a long way home to visit little ol’ me, after what you done.” Your smokey fox form grew in size, as it bare its fangs and growled at him. He kept his lazy attitude.
“Crazy, huh? I heard from a friend that you know a map that leads to the Lady Bone Demon's old place. It would be nice if you hand it over and forget this ever happened-”
“And why should I help you? I'm running a business here, and I need payment. Now if I were you, I'll pay up, since I'm being so generous today.” You cut him off as your face got close to his. For once his lazy attitude broke for a second, he tensed up as he leans away. Nervous and possibly a bit flustered from the sudden close approximation.
“W-well, I don't have anything on me now but I can get you something.” He mutters, before clearing his throat. Trying to regain his composure back.
“News flash, I don't want anything that isn't my tail back, that you cut off! Either you give it back or no map.” Your form shifts into a more smaller one but just large enough to tower over him. Wrapping your many tails around him, your fox face next to his ear.
“Now tell me, what will it be, Sun Wukong?”
He was silent, for once he was quiet. 
“If I don't find out what she is planning soon, she’ll destroy everything. I know, you hate me after everything but we both know, if I didn't do it. The mortals in this city would have. You know how humans get, when misfortune comes, they need someone to blame. I am sorry that it had to be you, but you know I was only doing my job. So please, help me on this one.” He said while staring at the ground, his hands clutching the edge of the counter. 
All you can do is stare at the sight in silence. It wasn't every day, he apologizes. However, will you actually accept his apology?
You let out a tired sigh, your smokey from jumping off the counter. Searching the shelves before landing in front of him. Back in your human form, holding a map. You tossed it at him.
“As much as I would love to have my ninth tail back, but I must say, it isn't every day the mighty Sun Wukong comes in apologizing and begging for help. Well, I guess that's a good enough payment.”
“Heh, I get it, I don't apologize and should have sooner. Then again, there weren't any balloons or cards saying ‘Sorry for cutting off your ninth tail and making you stuck being a regular fox spirit.’ Apparently, that doesn't happen much to have it be on a card.” He laughs getting off the counter. Checking out the map as he slowly exits the shop.
“Hey if my great plan does work and the world hasn't ended, want to...catch up?”
You raise a brow at him.
“Oh? Wukong, you still aren't smooth, not even after all these years.”
“Hey, I spent a few centuries on an island by myself. I’m just rusty, and don't pretend you aren't too.” It was his turn to lean close. His face is close to yours as he smirks. You were stunned, feeling your cheeks heat up.
“Oh please, unlike you I had a business to run. Now go, I won't be kind enough to say it again.”
“Then is that a yes? Can we catch up?” 
You close the door shut the moment you push him out. A soft chuckle left you as you turned back around to see the spot where Wukong was sitting. Though you notice something new there, it was a fluffy tail. The one you lost. A smile forms on your face.
“That cheeky monkey.”

Hiya! I have a request! Could u do a lmk touch starved macaque and wukong (separate) how they would act/react if they had to share a bed for the first time with their (fem) s/o ? Please and thank u!!!
𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠! 𝐄𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲!
𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐖𝐊 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐒/𝐎 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞!
Tumblr media
Macaque:
☾ This monkey right here would be all like "It looks like we'll have to share bed tonight plum ~" but dude, trust me he would be panicking inside
‎ ‎
☾ But at the same time, he's really happy since he'll finally be able to spend more time close to you and perhaps to cuddle you more
‎ ‎
☾ Once the both of you are laying in bed, at first he would turn around to not make things uncomfortable and since he was a little bit nervous
‎ ‎
☾ After a couple minutes he would eventually turn around again to be face to face with you, looking at you sleeping with lovely eyes since tbh it takes Macaque some time before eventually falling asleep
‎ ‎
☾ Rubbing his fingers against your cheek and playing with your hair while slowly embracing you in his arms and snuggling close to you and eventually falling asleep holding your hand
‎ ‎
☾ In the morning he would probably pretend he didn't do any of those things while trying to hide his blush behind his scarf while his ears get a red color and slowly move down in embarrassment
‎ ‎
Tumblr media
Sun Wukong:
♡ As soon as he sees the room only has one bed he starts blushing like crazy, immediately saying things like "Well we don't have to share if you don't wanna, i could sleep on the couch hahaha" but we all know damm well he wants to be with you
‎ ‎
♡ When you tell him you don't mind his eyes immediately light up in excitement and his tail forms into a heart, which tbh its really cute
‎ ‎
♡ When it's finally time to go to sleep he's also a little bit nervous while his tail moves side to side with a constant speed and with a smile on his face
‎ ‎
♡ Unlike Macaque, as soon as you two get in the bed he immediately hugs you snuggling his face in your neck while some purrs start appearing
‎ ‎
♡ He would help you sleep by telling some of his adventures and stuff, after you fall asleep he just stares at you with sleepy eyes and falls asleep hugging you tight
‎ ‎
♡ In the morning, he would wake you up poking your cheek or sm saying "Morning my dear sunshine! You slept well? Because I did knowing i have the most amazing girlfriend right beside me" while giving a kiss in the back of your hand
‎ ‎

Ur reader is asleep question just gave me a mental image of Macawue entering the palace through his shadow portals, and before he could even open his mouth, Wukong and/or Nezha grabs him and insists he tells then where their master is. And after a moment of confused blinking, Macaque just tilts his head, stares at Azure, and points to his mane. For once. He is not the one going absolutely crazy. (Meanwhile in the back sonewhere MK and Red Son are turning the whole palace over, furniture and miscellaneous items strewn about)
Tumblr media
tfw your teammate is being a smug bastard about being more useful than you in finding your master

One of the biggest bummers for me with Monkie Kid fandom is the unequal idealization of Wukong and villianization of Macaque. I think it downplays the incredibly deep and interesting dynamic that comes from people who have hurt each other but are learning and growing as individuals coming back into orbit of each other and relearning who they are to each other.
It also goes to say that while Lego Monkie Kid is derived from JTTW it can definitely stand on its own considering what they've modified or adapted to work better with what they were aiming for.
Objectively when the series begins Wukong is a better person but he wasn't when his life was more intertwined with Macaque.
In fact they're both pretty bad at the begining. And often even enabled each other to be worse.
Wukong made lots of rash decisions that even if he claims was for "us" was often motivated by selfish ideals for glory pushed by the brotherhood as he disregarded Macaques opinions and worries.
Whereas Macaque has always been focused on perceived slights, essentially victimizing himself more than he actually is and using this to justify his harmful behaviors. He often prods when he should be understanding or aloof when he should be sympathetic. He's quick to lash out because he's always on the defensive.
They both have done things wrong but I'm tired of the fandom always siding with Wukong when the idea is that they're BOTH in the wrong in different ways and most of the turmoil in their relationships stems from simple miscommunications that are escalated by the fact that neither had really faced their past (until season 4 obviously)
And most of the animosity they feel towards each other is leftover from a close relationship now in shambles and being forced back together in order to survive.
(Some people irl can't even handle being in the same room in a cordial setting with someone they aren't friends with anymore. Like come on not crazy that they both instinctivly become defensive. Not to mention we see that they often teased and bickered playfully so not odd to fall back into the pattern just with more animosity. )
We've been following Macaques slow redemption, his willingness to fight LBD despite not knowing if they'd succeed and could result in them all being destroyed. As well as his misguided attempts to mentor MK in his own emotional stunted way.
And Wukong himself has made his own major mistakes as a mentor as well that's like the entirety of the 3rd season but again he's had more character growth thus admitting his wrongs and reflecting on them comes much easier to him, out of the two Wukong is currently the more emotionally intelligent as odd as that sounds. He's more willing to face the reality of his actions than Macaque is but this aligns with their character types. Wukong often being blunt, straightforward and headstrong compared to Macaque who is hesitant and holds his cards close to his chest quick to hide his true intentions behind attitude and misdirection. Along with this Wukong is predictably bitter when trapped under the mountain especially when Macaque escaped the consequences which once again plays into his self-serving attitude but at the same time Macaque had always been hesitant about crossing the Jade Emperor and warned Wukong that in classic Wukong fashion, he wasn't thinking it through and considering the consequences.
(Side note I find it incredibly odd for people to not consider all of elements on both Wukongs and Macaques separate experiences. As well as the odd skew on Macaques motives during the Samadi fire arc, since his resurrection his one goal has been to escape and protect his second chance at life, stealing Wukongs power from MK is a measure to protect himself and its easier to trick MK than Wukong (this isnt to say its justified, hurting MK was wrong plain and simple because again Macaque is heavily flawed as well and hasn't had the time or guidance Wukong did to reflect and change cuz he was ya know, dead (but his death is another interesting conversation when considering the context of the original vs LMK which might play it off in a different way or have to avoid it altogether due to rating issues)and when he is forced to work with LBD once again his life is on the line, that's called coercion. AND he still fights a possessed Wukong at MK behest, despite the likely traumatic fear that would be triggered by fighting Wukong again and that LBD might not stop a possessed Wukong from killing him again. Doesn't mean what he did was right but if you consider from his perspective along with the fact that he died before he got to have his own "journey to the west" or journey of growth and self-reflection. We're seeing the Macaque that Wukong killed all those years ago. It makes understanding his motives a little easier.)

Shadowpeach Family AU Baking Headcanon
I wanna bake stuff but my family is trying to be healthy or whatever until Christmas. It's baking season! There's no time for being healthy, that's what January is for!
+ allergy for the kiddo near the end.
Wukong hates baking cause it takes way too long and it's way too specific with measurements. He's the kinda guy who will eat raw cookie dough instead of letting it cook. He's immortal so he can do that without worry. He will absolutely try to steal some of the raw batter/dough from Macaque when he bakes, sometimes Macaque lets him get away with it.
Macaque really likes baking and enjoys the whole process of it, he likes the specifics of it and he likes trying out new recipes. He is best buds with Chang'e and when he visits her they hang and bake together. They swap recipes a lot.
Chao-Xing also likes baking, just like her baba, but she will sneak a little taste of the batter or dough like any kid would. She really likes being Baba's little helper. She is a very messy little monkey and likes to get her hands dirty, she loves making flour clouds.
It drives her dads crazy because it's adorable but they also have to clean the flour out of her fur once it's over.
Macaque likes his little helper despite the mess she makes. Wukong has thousands of pictures of them baking together stashed away. He also puts her on guard duty to protect the batter/dough from Wukong with the promise that she gets to lick the bowl and mixing tools when they are done(that is when it tastes the best).
Chang'e also enjoys having a little helper whenever Macaque brings her on his visits. A little monkey running around the kitchen makes the whole thing more fun.
Wukong is banned from Chang'e's kitchen. He knows what he did and he's not allowed to bake in her house anymore. (It involved fire and hair🤢). He normally waits around Chang'e's house and garden while baking happens.
Fruit based baked goods is the favorite of all the monkeys, they just have different fruit preferences. If something has detectable banana in it Chao-Xing will refuse to eat it and hiss at it like it's trying to kill her, her dads just thought it was a reaction to the texture at first and let it slide at first.
Thing is, she's actually allergic to bananas, badly allergic. How did they find out? Well she ate something she couldn't tell had bananas in it and had an anaphylactic reaction. She can't die from it but it definitely wasn't a pleasant experience for anyone. She was like 3 at the time.
So she hissed anytime she sees a banana as a kid cause one of those tried to kill her. It's an old habit that sticks around for quite a while.
Well that's that. That's the baking ramble + allergy bit.
