DUDE, YOUR AU IS SO COOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

trying to think of AU names. i should be studying but. IT'S COOL

tell me about Ao Lie. and Wukong, and his programming backstory. and why Tripitaka is in trouble with the government. and Nezha (obviously, as aroacenezha LMAO). i wanna know everything about that angry little cyberpunk guy. what's his junkyard look like? have any Ao Lie/Nezha spats? is he a main-ish character?

and how does this translate w/ the og story of JTTW? is this just a character idea kind of thing, or some ideas about the scrolls and journey to enlightenment?

look. you put out cool idea and now I will not stop talking. <3

AAAAAHAH THANK YOU!! yeah… not sure what i should name it yet agh…. But I'm sure i'll think of something more clever than cyberpunk jttw! eventually…

rubs hands together lets get to it heheh

ao lie and tripitaka's relationship is one of my favs to draw and write about currently, they both lean on each other super hard for support bc at their core they're both so lonely yet unable to reach out for help. ao lie often has tripitaka pick him up from parties or other events. their friendship has only stayed so strong because ao lie is so insistent that he would get to know the shut off tripitaka.

wukong's old programming was a secret project from the jade city government to raze areas marked as "undesirable" from the city. this is mostly places where resentment towards the government is growing, and poor areas. wukong's original programming was violent and obedient, he had no personality of his own and his only goal was to carry out the current command. but because of this, it was easier for tripitaka to rewire him, as robots with no set personality code can more easily be reprogrammed, as they're almost a blank slate.

ao lie and wukong… used to not like each other. at all.

but one night, they got the chance to actually talk to just each other. and after that, they became much friendlier to one another. i want to make a comic based off this so i can't say much for now…

tripitaka is in trouble with the government because he is against it. jade city's government is corrupt and ripe with nepotism. they try and lock out technology from reaching poor areas. so tripitaka builds and creates, so that the defenseless can defend themselves. tripitaka is technically an illegal citizen, nobody is really sure where he's from and he has no official papers stating he is a citizen of jade city. but he's been living in the slums since he was very young. tripitaka also gets into trouble for breaking and entering and trespassing, as he will sometimes need materials that aren't available on the black market and will take matters into his own hands. tripitaka can be a little badass, as a treat. (but i love book tripitaka too)

though this tripitaka is still a strict pacifist, so his crimes are all non-violent.

nezha!! little nezha thinks he looks very badass, but everyone else wonders… who the hell is dressing this kid LOL. nezha has first hand experienced the inequality of jade city from living in the slums and has becomes extremely protective over the people there. just on the outskirts of his town there is a junkyard he frequents. tripitaka goes there often too, for scrap metal, and sometimes nezha will bring him materials (if tripitaka asks nicely, lmao). when wukong was first sent to raze their town, nezha was able to pin him under steel pipes in the junkyard, making it so tripitaka could reprogram him. nezha is still extremely proud of this. im making a comic based on this moment….

nezha often will enter tripitaka's home without warning, so the first time he entered with ao lie there, he assumed the worst and jumped to defend tripitaka. ao lie found it hilarious and adorable. ao lie doesn't take nezha very seriously and reminds him often that he has no part in what his family does as he was disowned, but nezha is convinced otherwise and will pester tripitaka constantly to stop talking to ao lie.

nezha is a main character, he is the connection for tripitaka to the neighborhood. he acts a bit like a scout, alerting tripitaka to events that are happening or people that need help or things fixed. nezha seeks out tripitaka because he knows that tripitaka is dependable and wants the best for people.

as for how it translates to the og story of jttw… in my head, eventually, tripitaka is forced to leave Jade City with his robots and head west. i don't have it all figured out yet, but the scrolls would instead be like… some kind of data. sorry this part is so vague haha, in my head there is a closer resemblance. i currently have the story split into a few parts, and right now we're remaining in jade city.

thank you so much for asking!! i love rambling about these guys….

#thank you for letting me ramble!! i want to post a lot more information in the form of comics and infographs!!#apologies if my ramblings are incoherent... sometimes things only make sense in my head haha #jttw #journey to the west #au #alternative universe #cyberpunk #futurism #my art #cyberpunk jttw #tripitaka #tang sanzang #sun wukong #ao lie #bai longma #nezha #tripitaka with a crime list... is funny to me #i guess i will say tripitaka is still a buddhist in this!! but i will try and fit more of the religious theming from jttw...

Yandere Journey to the West x Tampka great great great great granddaughter

So the reader is in monder times but some how feel into the past . Meeting her Grandpa.

Until they tell them who they are.

( Also I am really serious on how you going to have them be in monder times like how they do it. Did they drink something or make a deal? I mean for sandy pigsy Bai Long I can't really remember there real names.

I think sandy and pigsy’s real name were sha wujing and zhu bajie and Bai long ma is ao lie real name also this is such an interesting idea too! 🤩

Warning: noob author, female reader, yandere romantic characters, and others.

Characters: sun, macaque, sandy, pigsy, Bai long ma.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were just in the library of your family clan reading up on some of the spells your great, great, great, great grandfather; Tripitaka, or tang sazang, when you came across a interesting looking spell that seem like it was calling to you which made you unintentionally do that spell which brought you to now, in the past.

Sun wukong:

You had fallen on top of him when you met him and true others in the group you quickly apologized for falling on him when you fell before your fourth great grandfather had asked who you were and why were you falling in the first place.

You explain on how you were entranced by a spell that was made by your fourth great grandfather; Tripitaka, and unintentionally said it out loud which activated it which brung you to their timeline which is the past for you, very far in the past that is.

They were all shocked by the fact that you were tripitaka’s great, great, great, great granddaughter mostly Tripitaka as he is a Buddhist and they usually don’t marry, you soon explain how it’s possible and clearing his confusion by saying how that changed soon after they finished the journey and as long as the marriage doesn’t lead you of the path of enlightenment then it’s fine to marry.

When sun get’s in trouble with Tripitaka which made you quickly scold your grandfather as sun is still learning the Buddhists way and that reciting the chant will traumatize him if he keeps on doing that to him, you suggested a gentler approach for sun to help him not kill which made sun entranced by how gentle and caring you were even if your family still practice Buddhism (you can pick how much Buddhism that your family is.). You two soon get in a relationship albeit secretly only to Tripitaka as you noticed your grandfather’s overprotectiveness and wanted to slowly get him to notice you two being in a relationship so as to not get any negative reactions from him.

Though you soon had to go back to your time unwillingly which was by a demon that could do that but the demon know, al they know is that he can teleport anybody to somewhere out of his way that made sun angry and which resulted in the demons death. When you got back to your time it seems that time pasted faster and it was a year since you went missing to your family though while the family did a check up as per orders of your father, you soon were told that you were pregnant with a suns child which shocked your family upon this new discovery as well as you but you guess it was understandable the more you think about it.

you decided to take your now 3 month baby to a park for kids of that age. when it was an hour in of staying there your baby mk began to cry and repeat 'da da, da da!' you try to calm him down before someone intervene and helped you out with mk.

the male soon introduced himself as sun wukong that you knew and loved. you didn't realized until now as you had mostly been focused on the baby and the studies you need to get done to become the head of your clan. after that you too got to know each other again and you soon learned that sun had spent centuries trying to find you which made you sad and think it's your fault though sun soon reassured that it wasn't your fault.

Macaque:

Macaque had joined the group when you fell on sun which made him laugh so hard at sun’s predicament. You soon explained how you’re from the future and that you’re Tripitaka’s great, great, great, great granddaughter.

You also explained that the reason you got here was because of a spell you had unintentionally casted when it entranced you. After that you joined the group as Tripitaka didn’t want to leave you alone by yourself plus he wanted to know more of this spell that brought you here and how he was married even though Buddhism doesn’t allow you to marry, which you explain on how as long as you stay on the path of enlightenment then you’re free to marry and love your spouse.

You two got to know each other pretty soon and started dating after a month of spending time together. When you did tell the others about you two dating both pigsy and Tripitaka fainted, Tripitaka fainted because his granddaughters grew up too fast and pigsy because he wanted to date you but now couldn’t.

You and the group soon made a camping spot to rest gain energy again but as you rest in your tent you didn’t seem to notice that you’re fading with sparkles emanating from the disappearing limbs that started from your feet all the way up your chest before macaque came to check on you and woke you up in a panic as the sparkles reached up your shoulder and began to travel down your arms and head the last thing he sees before you disappeared was you reaching out and then you were completely gone which made him sank to the ground in shock as he look at the spot you were previously in as tears casted down his face.

You woke up to the face of your mother with her having a relieved look as she gently hugged you, she explained how you’ve been gone for a month now and the finally got you back with one of Tripitaka’s spell that seemed to reverse the one you accidentally casted on yourself with.

You were apparently with a child which made you blush at the reminder of what happened in the past. The days had past until it was three months after you’ve given birth to bai he a little girl that was adorable and most definitely bring ‘aww’s to anyone who looks at her.

You brung her to the park to help her get used to many environment and noises and so she can play around though the peaceful silence changed as your daughter started to cry, at first you started thinking that she was being bullied but she had started to calling out ‘da da!’ Which you guess she means her father which breaks your heart as you try to come her down until someone interrupts and asked if he could help, the voice is familiar before you noticed the same features bai he has is on him as well, it’s been a while since you thought about macaque with taking care of bai he and studying to become the head of your clan and all but all you had to do is say macaques name and the stranger smiled and say ‘glad you still remember me.’

Sandy:

Sandy had caught you when you met the group your fourth time grandfather was traveling with. You had fallen after chanting your fourth time great grandfather spell and thankfully he had caught you before you could get hurt.

It was then decided that you would stay with them until they figure out a way to get you back to your original time.

You two got in a relationship after 2 months as both of you were shy to confess each other and fear that the other only sees the other as a platonic spouse than a romantic one.

Though with the help of sun the two of you finally got into a relationship with the other.

You had gotten back to your time it was when they were fighting a demon that works with water, the demon had surprised you from behind and dragged you over to another part of the water is uses for their battles, Sandy had went after you but was too late as the demon seemed to have died by some light that covered you and the next thing sandy knew is that you were gone.

You woke up to your mothers face which had a concerned look making you question her on why she was making that face, she soon began to explain that they found you in the pond they had in the estate and that you were pregnant after they had a doctor check up on you as you had been gone for 3 months.

You had taken you child to the park that has a water park next to it as your child had a love for water and to run around. Soon enough your child had started to cry, you at first thought they had gotten hurt but it seems like they wanted their dada as they kept crying saying ‘da da!’ Someone came over as you were trying to calm them down and gently took them and began calming the child down, when you looked over you see sandy as you recognized that height he has and started to tear up as he pulls you in for a hug which you return.

Pigsy:

You were passed out on the ground near the path they were taking when they found you. After waking up and getting asked questions on who you are, you explained how you got her by a spell that your fourth time grandfather made as you felt a pull by it and unintentionally chanted it which brought you here.

They were all shocked that you’re the great, great, great, great granddaughter of Tripitaka, pigsy flirts with you every chance he gets, even though you don’t like those type of men pigsy seem to have snuck into your heart.

All of the group was shocked that you and pigsy got together, Tripitaka has grown overprotective of you after you and Pigsy started your relationship as he knows from his flirtatious ways and make sure to let pigsy know that if he hurts you then Tripitaka won’t hold sun back as sun started thinking of you as a sister.

You had appeared back in your time after a demon kidnapped you when you and the others were taking rest in the camp that you and the others made and in a panic you quickly chanted the spell that got you here out of desperation which took you back in your time.

Pigsy had threatened the demon that tried kidnapped you only to find out you had disappeared to your time via the chant that brought you here in the first place.

You had taken your son; tang, to the park but afterwards went to a noodle shop for some food and met a pig demon that was the owner and the cook. Tang had started to cry which made you panic as he usually doesn’t do that much though the owner; pigsy, gestured to hand tang over for a minute and was able to calm him down and then you realized that this was the same pigsy you grew to love in your time in the past.

Bai long ma:

Bai had found you when he was trying to find a watering hole to drink from as the others rest up at the camp.

He had woken you up by transforming into his more human form by gently stroking your cheek making it tickle.

(Ao lie in lmk is so cute and adorable!! Though I haven’t seen it yet so please no spoilers, thank you!)

He had brought you back to the group via carrying you in his arms as you explained how you got here to him, he was the one that explained to the others as you already explained it and he thought you didn’t want to explain again.

The others were shocked as he was to find out that your Tripitaka’s four times great granddaughter.

You two got to know each soon after most of the time Bai would be in his human form unless your grandfather needs him to change into his horse form. You had gotten into a relationship with Bai long ma after a month of spending time in the past but apparently you had spend enough time there and was brought back to your time soon after.

You returned to your time seeing both your mother and father looking at you with both relief and concern on their faces before explaining how long you’ve been gone and how you’ve been asleep since yesterday when they found you and how they found out you’re pregnant.

Instead of the park you went to Bai long ma’s family descendant that is related to him by one of of his siblings, you had wanted to introduce them your baby seeing as she and them are basically related. Apparently they are having a guest with them that seems familiar to you though mei brought attention to you two by wailing sand reaching out to that familiar figure that you soon realized is Bai long ma, or in shorter term, ao lie.

(A/n: I hope you like what I did with it!! Also hope you like the surprise on who the baby is! 😁 anyway, hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!! Bye!)

Journey to the West Chapter 36

Monkey introducing Tripitaka to others like:

Okay so in this chapter of Journey to the West with @journeythroughjourneytothewest we begin a section that I know absolutely nothing about, so that should be interesting. Let's get into it shall we?

So the group is traveling onward with renewed enthusiasm and manage to travel for quite a while without anything book worthy happening until they hit another mountain. Tripitaka who hasn't had a good track record with mountains, is worried about being attacked by yet another demon here. He also points out that they've been traveling for at least five years by now and wonders how much longer they have to go. Monkey points out that they are still very early in the morning and that they've barely left their front door. Then he has to spend ten minutes explaining what a metaphor is to Pigsy, when he asks how there could possibly be a house this big.

Anyways they continue traveling until it gets late and they luckily stumble across some buildings and Tripitaka suggests they rest here for the night. However the group has also not had a good track record with random monastery's and abbey's so Monkey asks to take a look first to make sure it's not evil or anything. Once Monkey takes a good look at the place he gives it the all clear and says it's a buddhist monastery. Which I take to mean that whatever flavor of shenanigans is about to happen, it won't involve demon's wanting to eat Tripitaka. Probably.

So they arrive at the monastery and Monkey asks which Monastery this is. Which causes Tripitaka to snap back 'How is he supposed to know? He doesn't know every monastery in the world!' Monkey points out that there's a sign, and Tripitaka snaps back that he wasn't in a position to see the sign when Monkey asked, also the sign is covered in grime. So Monkey decides to grow twenty feet tall in order to wipe the sign down and show it to Tripitaka. Tripitaka then reads the sign saying this place is apparently the Precious Grove monastery Built by Imperial Command. Anyways now that Monkey and Tripitaka are done arguing like an old married couple, Tripitaka say's he'll go inside and ask for lodging since all his disciples are so rude and ugly. Monkey's just like 'fair enough' and let's Tripitaka go in alone.

So Tripitaka goes inside admiring the architecture and doing his Buddhist thing and what not on his way in. Eventually a worker at the temple spots him and asks who he is and what he wants. Tripitaka explains his typical spiel and asks for lodging for the night. The worker explains that he doesn't have the authority to approve that so he goes to get his boss. So the worker goes to get his boss who gets all dressed in his fancy outfit and goes out to greet Tripitaka. But I guess Tripitaka failed a charisma check or something because his pretty face isn't enough to impress the Master when his clothes are so travel worn.

Anyways the Master yells that Tripitaka is just some beggar, and tells the worker to just let them squat in the corridor instead of letting them into the abbot. Tripitaka is so hurt by this he even tears up a bit. Anyways Tripitaka is upset and offended but not so upset and offended that he's willing to sic Sun Wukong on that guy just yet. So Tripitaka resolves to get the whole story first and follows after the master to question him.

So Tripitaka once again explains about his quest and asks for lodging again. The master however is unwilling to budge and points out that there is an Inn just a few miles away, so he should get his food and rest there instead of bothering him about it. Tripitaka however points out that all abbey's and monastery's are supposed to offer lodging and food to any priests who stop by. Apparently Tripitaka passes his charisma check this time because the priest now tells about his monastery's tragic back story and why he's unwilling to host Tripitaka. Which basically just comes out to he hosted some beggars once, only for those beggars to never actually leave and just continue to act like parasites to the monastery. The master wouldn't mind that much if it wasn't also for the fact that they continue to trash the place.

Anyways Tripitaka cries a little again, but wipes his tears away before going back outside to meet his disciples. He doesn't hide it well enough though since Monkey immediately notices he looks upset and asks if the monks there striked him. Tripitaka denies it, and also denies it when Monkey asks if they scolded him. Tripitaka then changes the subject and says that the Monks don't want them to stay here. To which Monkey asks Tripitaka to wait here and he'll handle this. These Monks are about to learn that the first time you get Tripitaka's form of diplomacy. But the second time you get Sun Wukong's. And his form of diplomacy involves a lot more hitting things and people with a stick.

Monkey comes in HOT. He states that he is is the disciple of the Tang Monk who came specifically to ask for lodging, and if they refuse he will start off by smashing their statues of Buddha. This gets the attention of yet another worker who is immediately intimidated into getting his manager to have him sort out this mess. The master of the place is annoyed to be disturbed yet again by these monks, but the worker explains that this is a different Monk, and is a lot more frightening then the last one.

So the master goes out to take a look, but immediately slams the door closed again as soon as he see's Monkey. Monkey however isn't having it and breaks the door open demanding that they set up 1000 rooms for them all. The master says that they don't even have a thousand rooms, they have like three hundred. The Monk once again tries to say that it's inconvenient for them to host them and asks that they try elsewhere. Monkey however has the perfect solution to this, if it's so inconvenient then *they* can just move out. He also makes sure to make his staff extra large and asks that if they truly can't move out, then one of the monks should come outside and take their punishment by being caned by him. The master immediately tries to sacrifice the poor worker to the cause, the worker however is not getting paid enough for this, so the two start arguing.

Monkey however doesn't actually want to hit them, after all if he kills them Tripitaka is going to get mad at him again. So instead he decides to just give them a little show of his power to intimidate them. He finds a conveniently placed lion statue and pulverizes the thing with one hit. This terrifies the monk master into literally crawling under the bed to hide while the worker decides to take charge and say that they'll host them after all. Monkey then asks the worker how many monks there are here, and upon receiving his answer, demands that all five hundred of them get dressed in their best robes and come out to receive Tripitaka personally. So the worker rings the bell to wake all the monks and demand that they file into line to welcome the Tang Monk. Monkey really knows how to get the red carpet rolled out for his master, all it takes is a little threat of violence to get star treatment.

Pigsy is also sure to point this out once he see's all the Monks kowtowing to them (under threat of violence) calling Tripitaka incompetent. Tripitaka meanwhile is rather embarrassed by this display and asks them to rise. Which causes the monks to plead with Tripitaka and have him convince Monkey not to hit them. Tripitaka tells Monkey not to hit them, and Monkey says that he hasn't, since if he had they would all definitely be dead by now. Which- fair enough. Anyways the monks finally rise and go to take care of the horse and all their luggage and stuff and finally lead them all inside.

Now that Monkey has these monks whipped into shape the monks wine and dine them with a fresh vegetarian meal and lead them to their rooms. However even after they lead them to the rooms, all five hundred monks are still loitering around even when Tripitaka tries to dismiss them. Only when he says that he's completely satisfied with his service please go away now, do they dare leave.

Anyways during the night Tripitaka gazes at the moon and makes a bit of poetry about it. Monkey meanwhile gives his two cents and manages to share some wisdom with Tripitaka and enlighten him a bit. Sandy is also sure to share some wisdom and enlightenment. When Pigsy tries to chime in however, he fails to enlighten Tripitaka in anyway and has him saying 'okay that's enough moon gazing for one night. Goodnight'. Anyways while the three disciples head to bed, Tripitaka decides to stay awake to meditate on the scriptures he learned in his youth.

Anyways, I guess we'll see where they are going with this in the next chapter of Journey to the West.
