"I can't handle the fanon depictions of anyone", this is so true it hurts 😭
I‘ve never been so hyperfixated on a piece of media, without being able to read anything about it. The way every character get‘s flattened like a pancake and forced into a archetype is unreal.
I have like- 5 stories I can read and don‘t really engage with with the fandom in any way.
It‘s all just:
Monkey King is depressed and MK has to mother him and kiss all his boo boo‘s.
Macaque never did anything wrong in his life, it‘s all Wukong‘s fault. He is also secretly a mom.
What is Mei? Do you mean the month? Bitch can‘t even spell right.
Red Son‘s parents are still assholes, because parents changing for the better is impossible and children can‘t have decent parental figures I guess.
-Casually bastardizes everyone into an asshole so my fav has a reason to be sad-
"What is Mei? Do you mean the month? Bitch can‘t even spell right." IS THE FUNNIEST THING. HOLY SHIT. I'M CACKLING.
"I‘ve never been so hyperfixated on a piece of media, without being able to read anything about it" is also so relatable. I've never had my fandom experience be so self-generated before. I'm just kinda stewing over here, having fun, making my own gif sets and analysis posts. Maybe I reblog some fanart from time to time.

chaotic unhinged lines from 2022-2023 (prompt edition).
basically in 2021 i made a list of prompts inspired by lines in tiktok videos and instagram reels that made me laugh so hard i cried! and now i have returned with another list! these may provide an alarmingly clear image of what my sense of humor is (aka broken) but i figure a little levity is always a good thing! more prompts are forthcoming, but in the mean time: bon appetit!

Getting in trouble
Summary: you expect your day to go peacefully with your crew arriving to a new village until some boy with a straw hat messes your day.
Pairing: Monkey d. Luffy x reader
Warning: robbing a bank?
Masterlist
Tumblr media
The sun was shinning and the ocean was calm, thats how you started the day, optimist and peacefully... right now, you are running from the marines with a strange boy with a strawhat.
"Ahhhh, this is really fun, you should join my crew."
"What?! How can you be talking about that right now?! And beside i have my own crew."
His gum arm traps you and lifts you two in the air thru the buildings. You took that oportunity to start to shoot some of the marines, not deadly, of course. He got to the top of the bell tower of the village and finally put you down.
"I don't like being carried, less when it's like that."
"What did you mean when you said you had your crew?"
"I am a captain, i am (y/n), i have the same bounty as Boa Hancock, but because i don't look as pretty as her many people doesn't know me."
"You are more pretty than Boa," His face was absolutely clueless and that comment made you blush.
"Th-thanks, you are pretty handsome too,"
"Thanks, but i am not going to forgive you," you didn't understabd what he was talking about, "i wanted you on my crew... But i am a captain too and i know that a bond with your crew is unbreakable."
He sat on the ground making a sad face like a little child who cant have a candy, it's cute. You went to sit next to him.
"Today i thought It would be a normal day, enjoying the new village my ship arrived to, buying new things, eating food... and instead i ended up involved on a fight with the marines thanks to your appetite and your lack of money," he let out a little laugh at your tale of the day, "at least tell me your name."
"Oh, right, i'm Mugiwara Luffy, the next pirate king."
"Ooohhh, you are that Mugiwara, that's awesome, but i must say that i am going to be the pirate queen, maybe we can get to an agreement where we can both be pirate royalty."
It looked like he didn't like that idea but he didn't say anything to complain. Some time later the marines abandoned the search of you two so you decided to go down.
"Well, i think i will go back to my crew, i think they will be searching for me, don't get in trouble without me, i hope we see again," and just like that Mugiwara runned away.
And then you thought, if you already had a chaotic morning then it would be worthy to have an equally chaotic afternoon.
-------------------------
Robbin the bank of the village with your second in command can be considered a risky move but you had all the adrenaline of the previous morning on your body and you needed to rush it out. It was really fun, running around with big bags full of berry and explosions behind. The ship was already visible, you ordered your crew to get going without you, to save time.
You saw a ship with the bow in shape of a lion or a sun, it's just running fast thru that ship and jump to yours, easy. You start to pass at high speed when you saw Mugiwara.
"(y/n)!? what!?" he had a piece of meat on his mouth.
"I was just robbing a bank, sorry to pass thru your ship and couldn't stop to take dinner," you did a goodbye sign and jumped to your ship.
"I thought you agreeded to not get in trouble without me," he shouted.
"I never said that, but maybe the next time, i am more than glad to renegotiate our deal about the pirate title."
"Never! that would only happen if we get married and i am not going to marry someone who doesn't wait for me to do trouble," that comment made you blush, officially he is completely clueless about compliments.
"We will see that Mugiwara, until our next meeting," you tried to sound fierce but the previous remark keeps repeating on your head.
"Count on it!!!!" you two didn't say it but you two hoped that encounter happens sooner that later.

Amnesia rules but it's Wukong with an immortal wife who doesn't know she's pregnant until he uses gold vision on her belly.
You can probably guess what his reaction is when he gets his memories back. 👀
I've never done amnesia rules so I'll give this my best shot!
Ok Imma keep this a bit short but this is intriguing
Wukong... He was a bit out of the ordinary
After the Azure Lion incident, his memories seem to have been cracked a bit and seeped out of his mind.
So everyone has been patient with him. He's been latching onto Sandy and Tang the most out of the group, which helped with tang researching on how to get his memories back.
You were very much worried, you visited every day, with the excuse of dropping off food for Tang.
Over the days, Wukong has grown to you. You stricked up conversation now and then, probing a bit so glean what he did remember.
But again, he didn't fully trust you yet.
So one day he used his true sight and saw that little soul in your body growing
"oh, congratulations!" He started aloud. You looked at him with a furrowed brow
"For what?" You questioned.
"To you and your husband! I'm sure you're excited to have a little one on the way"
You froze, and looked down at your belly. Tears pricked your eyes and you excused yourself out.
Wukong didn't see you the coming days, the days when finally Tang got the solution to get the Monkey Kings memories back.
As Tang strrred the exile, Wukong sat on the counter kicking his feet.
"Hey, where's the pretty lady? She hasn't been here the past couple of days." Wukong asked. Tang stilled, and looked to Wukong with a sad smile.
"She isn't having a good time right now. Her husband is... Away and she isn't sure when he's coming back. I think it's gonna be soon though." He replied, and continued
Wukong pouted but stayed silent. The woman was very pretty and nice, who would have abandoned her when shes with a child???
Then Wukong finally drank the elixir. And Tang waited as the Monkeys King gained his memories back.
And then Wukong immediately realized what happened.
"OH FUCK I MESSED UP"
The man speed over to Flower Fruit Mountain, and saw as you played with monkie there in his absence.
He leapt to you, picking you up and doing you around.
"WAH- WUKONG??"
"IM GONNA BE A DAD IM GONNA BE A DAD!!" He shouted. It took you a minute to process this was your Wukong.
He apologized profusely at his actions, while you assured him it was fine and he didn't remember.
Rest assured you could not go anywhere without him for AT LEAST 2 months.

Gay gay, homosexual Gay Monkey Thots again
——————————————————————
It has been several months since Wukong kidnapped you. You had to admit, being his husband, consort wife wasn’t so bad. He and the servants doted on you, the wedding was extravagant, and you wore some of the finest clothes the monkeys of Flower Fruit had in their possession.
You were still angry about being turned into a monkey, however. And it was that VERY valid reason you were currently ignoring Wukong again. No matter how he prodded, or spoke to you in his little sing song voice, no matter how he nearly made your face break into a smile. You ignored him. If you were going to be married to such a powerful king, you were going to take advantage of it.
“Is there anything I can do that will make you feel better?” Wukong pleaded with you. He finally broke and began attempting to change the subject. Good, you had been planning this. You could get at least something out of this, and you’d get some space.
If you were honest? You did care for Wukong, at least a little bit. But he was an asshole, and you were touched out.
“Pearls.” You blurted out. They were the first thing to come to mind regarding your situation. And clearly Wukong didn’t expect this. Last time he asked that question he was told to put his staff somewhere unpleasant.
“What?” Wukong blinked at you. You- you couldn’t let him control this, you had to capitalize-!
“I want pearls. Black ones. But you have to find them, on your own. No buying or stealing or anything. I want enough for a- a set of jewelry!” It all rushed out so quickly, you could barely stop yourself. But…
Yes, this would do nicely. With how rare black pearls had to be, not even Wukong could find so many so quickly. You could have room to breathe. Escape had already proven impossible. You couldn’t outrun Wukong, and there was nowhere he couldn’t find you. That and his eyes got all big and wet when he was sad, curse your weak spine.
“Oh, I see! This is a test!” Wukong immediately assumed.
“No, what-” Wukong cut you off by grabbing your hand and kissing it, and then you.
“Don’t you worry, my queen, I’ll find you enough pearls to decorate a palace with!”
And just like that, Wukong was off. Running into the sea in search of those blessedly rare pearls.

This guy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is literally the big brother of this little asshole
Tumblr media
Look at how sad this scene was tho, along with the times the old monkey and the others ostracized him. I don't know why he of all Yaoguais would think that he'd beat the Demon King Of Confusion with coconuts, but I guess this means he wasn't quite meant for the cudgel anyway.
In Xi You Ji, SWK got the golden as-you-will cudgel after he returned to Huagoushan from Patriarch Subhodi's place, so he was already trained and knew very well how to deal with weapons and fighting (not to mention his magic and other such things, like SWK knowing Taoism/Daoism as well as the Way), and then sharing that knowledge with his people. That's why the Puti Arc was a very important bit that the movie did not put in.
Tumblr media
Also what do you mean that Monkey King can just pull out his clones when that technique was taught by Subhodi/Puti too? Body-beyond-body is what it's called if I remember correctly, and yeah SWK was a monkey who can do almost everything but that doesn't mean he could just do that! It's annoying!
It also took him 2 decades (adding in the time that he journeyed through the two continents to find an immortal) to learn such lessons, so the movie was kind of a mockery to that fact. Wùkōng learned so many things from Subhodi's monastery that made all his achievements possible! Plot holes and other things, they could've at least mentioned or made a small montage for the arc.
Tumblr media
But Monkey King is just the more chaotic, impulsive, and egotistical version of Dàshèng, though Dàshèng had always been more empathetic between the two. I'm also putting in that he also has a soft spot for kids. Monkey King was quite the narcissist in the beginning. Very self-centered. Also it's kind of sad that 2023 is just called "Monkey King" bc he never went to Patriarch Subhodi (again, still salty about that; they could've made Subhodi a father figure to Monkey King since the Huagoushan monkeys didn't care for him that much, especially the old monkey) in this movie; thus never getting his Buddhist name.
My headcannon is that I'll be naming him with the combinations of "左 Zuǒ" [left; the Left (politics); east; unorthodox; queer; wrong; differing; opposite; variant of 佐; (Chinese surname meaning; to assist; assistant; aide; to accompany)] which is ironic since it was Lin who wanted to be his assistant, forced or otherwise, and not the other way around. The second part of his name are either "空 Kōng" which means (empty; air; sky; in vain) or "空隙 Kòngxì" which means (crack; gap between two objects). So the options are either Zuǒkōng or Zuǒkòngxì— "Left to void/nothingness"/ "Assisted to nothingness", but if anyone has a better idea or better knowledge about the systems of Chinese names then feel free to correct me.
The reason why it's not "Wùkōng" is because, again, the "Wù" part of the name which means; "Wake to" or "Awaken from/to". I know that Monkey King was still born from stone, or a geode in the movie,
Tumblr media
(Guanyin, in the book, was about to name him like she did with Sha Wujing and Zhu Wuneng, but SWK stopped her before she could, though the "Wu" would be quite dissolved with Monkey King 2023/Zuǒkōng/Zuǒkòngxi around before Tanzang came to Five Phases Mountain. Assuming the previous listed names I gave him holds, though the Bodhisattva Guanyin would still be able to change it.)
Tumblr media
(I am liking the name Zuǒkōng though, so I'm sticking with that.)
Monkey King is of course not completely irredeemable, bc soft spots and the fear of loneliness and all, as well as his eventual 'fondness' towards Lin— but I still think the movie could've done much better than making this Monkey King another version of Lego SWK (sorry for the LMK SWK fans out there, just not a great fan of the iteration).
Aside from the plot holes and the characterization of multiple important Daoist figures in the movie, like Yù Huáng and Ao Guang or even King Qin'guang/Yama, I feel like they could've made it more interesting and the fight scenes have more pizzaz. How they managed to make a Kaiju fight so underwhelming impresses me tbh, and the way Monkey King received his win is as underwhelming.
HONESTLY I have so much more to say but I keep forgetting my words so I'll add to this when I gather my thoughts jsnnsksmks
(No hate to the movie or the people that made them tho, I'm just salty.)

Macaque ♤ No Response Pt.2
Art drawn by me + the OC is mine. c:
Macaque is making things right.
CW: topic of death ig- i mean it's hanahaki pt.2
♢ Part 1
Tumblr media
♤ ~ Comfort ~ ♤
"Hm. That was one abrupt ending... Even with the accelerator keeping up with the schedule. But does this case qualify as being my turn or yours?"
"Their story doesn't continue in death, Reaper."
"Eh, true. Suit yourself then, man..."
-.-.-
It's been six days since your passing, and Macaque was unable to get much done... Or rather, anything at all. Your death took a giant toll on his mental health as he believed it was all his fault. It didn't help that his guilt lead him to the constant reminder that he did indeed love you. MK and his friends actually did take notice of Macaque's sudden disappearance from the face of the earth. The noodle boy tried getting in contact with him through his phone, but to no avail. Even Monkey King was on edge, unsure whether or not his sworn brother was back to his usual scheming self...
At least, that was until one of his monkeys found Macaque rather curled up on a tree branch on Flower Fruit Mountain. He was in the middle of being comforted by a group of little monkeys who noticed his sadness and came to cheer him up. Wukong decided to cautiously approach him from beneath the branches, while having a monkey on his own shoulders.
"Macaque? Are you okay up there? What are you doing here?" He asked, not noticing the other's grief. The dark-furred simian on the other hand simply glared at him before looking away again, hugging a little monkey in his arms.
"Leave me alone, Wukong... Go bother MK or whatever", Macaque responded, trying to ignore the other monkey. But of course, the Monkey King refused to give up. So he decided to join the shadow monkey up in the tree crown. After placing his monkey on the ground, he swiftly jumped up, landing nearly perfect on a branch just a bit to the side of the other demon. The branch he landed on was also a bit more elevated than the one Macaque was on. Meanwhile, the shadow monkey merely glanced in his direction once he landed before looking back towards the little monkey in his arms.
Monkey King made himself comfortable as he sat down. "What's wrong, bud? You've been awfully quiet this week. Did something happen? You know, you can talk to me", he offered. However, the only response he got in return was a grunt. The orange-furred simian's frown deepened.
"Macaque..."
The shadow monkey sighed, "...Ugh. Fine. I'll tell you." He gently scratched the top of the small monkey's head before eyeing the Monkey King sitting on the higher branch. "Someone very close to me passed away. There. Are you happy now?" He hissed out, glaring once more.
Wukong was shocked. But knowing the pain and grief of losing a mortal friend, he absolutely understood how Macaque felt. Though, he didn't even know his brother had anyone else close to him...
Not knowing how to approach this topic without upsetting him further, he decided to silently comfort him. Carefully hopping onto the branch Macaque was sitting on, he sat down right next to him. He then proceeded to pull the shadow monkey close to him while loosely wrapping his tail around the other's.
"I'm sorry... I... didn't know you had someone else close to you, besides MK", he said softly.
Despite not being able to see his expression from his position, he could clearly feel Macaque's body and tail stiffen up for a moment. However, he slowly started to relax again, eventually leaning into his brother's comforting hold while his tail gave his brother's tail a light squeeze. He didn't think he needed this, but he did.
"...Thanks."
While Macaque was still mourning, he did somewhat start to get better with Monkey King's help. Wukong tried to be there for him as much as he could while also giving him space to breathe and think. He did tell his successor about the situation and basically told his friends not to upset the other monkey. The group was actually very understanding and made sure he didn't feel uncomfortable around them.
At least he was able to move around more without feeling guilty... right?
Well, that was until he one night was woken up in a tree by the presence of a cloaked entity... The aura they gave off sent shivers down his spine. They did not touch him. They did not speak. They just... stared up at him from beneath the branches. What seemed to be a red fox mask with a veil in the back hid away their features.
He sat up, alerted by the fact they even managed to roam Flower Fruit Mountain undetected. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The cloaked entity began to move their arm. out of the darkness of the fabric, revealing a clawed hand that was shades darker than their black cloak. They were holding what seemed to be a high-tech watch. The entity had a somewhat corrupted male voice.
"Oracle. I am here to give you this", 'he' responded before throwing the item up into the tree. The shadow monkey caught it, even if only out of reflex. He glanced at it, not understanding why 'he' would need to give him a watch. "It has a one-time use. Be mindful, Liu-Er Mihou."
Macaque's back straightened at the mention of his name. But when he looked back at the stranger... 'he' was gone.
...Well, if this wasn't the most suspiciously cryptic encounter he's had in years.
He decided to take a closer look at the watch to at least find a reason as to why it was given to him... And he found his answer right away once he figured out how to turn it on. The small screen displayed the logo of what he assumed was the manufacturer before it changed to it saying "Go back to what once was. Change date and time to destination. No return." Then it proceeded to display a field to insert a date and a field to insert a time.
Sure, it could just be asking for him to insert the current date and time like how one would set a normal watch... But the fact that it mentioned a destination as well as telling him to go back to what once was... It seemed like a risky opportunity. Perhaps the entity was a time god from the Celestial Realm who knew about his struggles?
That gave him an idea.
If this watch was an actual way of time travel, he could go back and fix so many mistakes he made. He could even change past events... Like Sun Wukong killing him... He could avoid dying! He could avoid becoming the Lady Bone Demon's pawn! He could-
His heart sank in his chest as an image of you smiling flashed before his eyes.
...No.
If he changed time before ever meeting you, he probably would've never met you in the first place. And that knowledge would only eat away at his conscience further... The dark-furred simian's eyes glanced up at the moonlight sneaking in past the leaves in thought.
...He'll do it.
Macaque wrapped the watch around his wrist. When he inserted the date of your death, he began to strategize. If he never sends the message, he would not have to tell you about ever having a date planned. He could mend your relationship with him. After double-checking the time he sent the meeting message on his phone, he decided to remove an extra ten minutes to make sure he wasn't in the middle of typing it out. Macaque took a deep breath, mentally praying to whatever god was in charge of the flow of time that nothing goes wrong, before ultimately selecting 'OK'.
"Loading... Initiating time warp", the watch read.
He closed his eyes, preparing himself for whatever was going to happen next...
He was hit with a strong, yet rather warm breeze...
...
Beep-Beep
Beep-Beep
...
...
...It just went off?
"Huh?" Confused, he opened his eyes... And was actually surprised that the sun was now in the sky. Did the watch only skip to the morning?
But that's when he noticed, the sun wasn't rising. It was actually setting.
He checked his phone and-
...It worked.
And as that realization kicked in, he noticed how the watch suddenly turned to some form of black slime before becoming solid and being blown away by the wind like ash. He couldn't help but narrow his eyebrows in disgust at the feeling on his wrist, flailing it around to try get any other slime off.
Wait, shit- He was under the assumption that he would end up in the same spot as he was when he was about to text you. Now panicked, he quickly used a shadow portal to return to Megapolis, going straight for your apartment.
Luckily it didn't take long for him to arrive at your front door. He took a deep breath, relieved that he can still change your future. However, he wasn't quite certain who the person was you were in love with. After all, usually Hanahaki would take between days to months to fully develop. So while there was a chance you were in love with him and died after realizing he was going on a date, there was also a chance that you were interested in someone else and the timing was just awful. He would have to test some things to confirm anything. Because let's face it, he knew you well enough to know that you would try weasel your way out of the conversation if he brought it up.
Macaque looked down at his phone and noticed a new message. But it wasn't from you. It was from the person he was supposed to go on a date with later that day. Ah, right, they did text him before that.
'hi handsome can you come over for a sec before the date? <3'
'i need your raw strength rq <3'
He looked at the messages in disgust, remembering how they asked him to come over to move furniture for them right before his meetup with you. Though, he knew what to text back this time. 'You can move that furniture yourself. Got no interest in dating you either', he texted back before searching for the block button. But before he pressed it, he got one last message.
'what. WHY??? and how did you know??????'
Blocked.
Feeling like a heavy burden was lifted off his chest, he felt confident enough to see you again. So, he knocked on your door.
"I'll be right there!" The voice he missed so much called out from inside. The door finally opened to reveal you in your casual wear. You gave him a surprised look. "Oh! I didn't expect you to stop by todaaaayy..." You trailed off as you looked at his expression. Macaque just... looked at you in awe. He couldn't believe you were here, in front of him, alive and well. His staring confused you. "Uh... Earth to Mac-Mac, are you there?" You said as you waved your hand in front of his face, bringing him back to reality.
"Oh- Sorry", he responded as he gently pushed your hand away. "I was in the area and just wanted to do a surprise visit." Your mouth formed an 'o' before you stepped aside with a welcoming smile.
"Wanna hang out and watch a show then?"
Gladly taking you up on the offer, the shadow monkey entered your home, taking a deep breath as he appreciated being able to take in your scent again. While he took up his usual spot on the couch, you pulled out some chips from your snack cabinet, accompanied by a bowl. "Sorry, I don't have any plum-flavored snacks at the moment. I hope the basic snacks are good enough", you told him as you filled up the bowl with your chips.
Macaque nodded with a grin, "It's alright. I'm fine with anything you give me."
You blinked at him, surprised. "I thought you were picky about your flavors?"
He let out a small nervous chuckle before replying, "I just had a change of heart, is all. Been trying to test more stuff recently." You hummed before sitting down next to him, leaving some space between you two. This was actually how you two would usually sit. However, the dark-furred simian was craving for your warming touch after having felt the cold of your corpse. He scooted closer to you, but his movements were seemingly undetected as you were busy looking for something to watch on your TV... That was until his thigh made contact with yours.
Confused, your gaze trailed from his thigh to his eyes. He simply stared at you with what looked like a fond smile while his tail positioned itself around your waist, almost like an arm. You raised an eyebrow at him. While you didn't exactly mind the attention your crush-friend was giving you, you did find his sudden change in behavior... strange. After all, he was acting a lot more different last time you hung out with him.
"...Okay, spill it. What happened that makes you act this... affectionate today? Are you the real Six-Eared Macaque? Am I dreaming?"
"If you're dreaming then I'm truly flattered that you would dream about me, sugarplum. Buuut, this isn't a dream", he replied as he crossed his arms. "Am I not allowed to appreciate being here with my favorite mortal?"
You blushed at his words before looking down at your lap in embarrassment... This was the first time he called you sugarplum- Or any pet name in general. "Did you just call me sugarplum?" And considering he loved plums, it just made you question things.
Macaque's tail somewhat stiffened up, indicating he was a little nervous all of a sudden. "Oh- Uh- Do you... not like it? I-I can just call you by your name again if-" "Mac-Mac. I... kinda like it", you cut him off with a shy smile. He returned it with a fanged grin of his own.
"So...", you trailed off as you picked a show you both binged together before. "Anything you got planned for later?"
Well, since he basically cancelled his supposed-to-be date...
He scoffed, "Obviously not. I'd rather spend the evening with you, sugarplum." The shadow monkey started to lean against you, making his tail sneak a little further around your waist. You decided to give into the urge of giving him a sudden hug at his affection. However, you pulled away rather quickly since you knew he wasn't really into people touching him out of nowhere. But before you could fully pull away and apologize, he pulled you right back into his chest, this time with his arms around your frame.
"...Thanks for not leaving me this time", he said softly as he nuzzled your head. You were about to ask what the hell he was talking about, when he added, "...I didn't even get to tell you how much I love you..."
Pause.
Did he... Did the Six-Eared Macaque just confess to you-? Did your crush-friend just return your feelings??
...But why did he sound so sad then?
You turned your head a bit upward to look at his face only to see that he was actually crying, but with a soft smile. Concerned, you placed your hand on his cheek. "Mac-Mac... Are you okay?"
He huffed at the irony of his visit's reasons before wiping away his tears with his sleeve, then placing his own hand on yours. "...Yeah, never been better."
Though, he was not expecting the sudden kiss on the cheek you gave him. Shocked, he stared at you with wide eyes. You pulled away as your own face started to heat up from embarrassment... This one reaction of yours was all the evidence he needed to be sure of how to avoid your Hanahaki. "Eeeeeehhh... S-Sorry- I-I thought it would help like healing a wound-" That's when the demon returned the favor by placing his hand behind your head, pulling you closer before kissing your forehead.
"Well, it did help... And your heartbeat is going crazy right now. I'm guessing the feeling's mutual?" You gave him a bright smile as you nodded. Happy with your response, Macaque wrapped his arms around you once more, this time with you hugging you back.
"I won't make the same mistake again... I love you, sugarplum..."

[Wukong: "Then we would have shared that furnace. And we'd be two idiots chained beneath the mountain together."]
Hmmm…I am not a hundred percent sure, but I think when SWK was in the furnace – he was reduced to ash, more than once, he just regenerated each time it happened. And considering he had to have been like 5 times immortal by then…I really doubt Macaque would have survived the furnace. SWK would just be trapped in there with the ashes of his friend/mate.
Although, now I have the image of SWK collecting the ashes and carrying them around in a jar/vase/something and still treating it like Macaque is alright – “Oh, look, Mihou, think we should try that?” – like something between a comfort item and a security blanket, but his mind not dealing with his LEMs death well to a point he’s just…like that. Still himself, but broken in a way.
Tripitaka thought he would be in over his head with the Monkey King being his protector – but the stone monkey clearly not coping well at all with a dead friend and treating their ashes as if still alive…Man’s praying for wisdom every chance he gets.
Referencing a line from my post about Wukong's stage fright.
Thats an extremely sad concept and a great idea for an angst au. It brings the idea of how Monkey (representing the Mind) handles legitimate grief. Him having a Mary Shelley-esque co-dependance on his past mate's ashes is 100% in character for SWK. He clings to the vessel containing Mac's ashes like Guanyin to her vase, rarely if ever putting it down.
I imagine the vase/vessel/urn resembles like those found in Chinese dig sites, but instead of the Imperial Palace, it is topped with a model of Flower Fruit Mountain.
Tumblr media
Tripitaka/Tang Sanzang can sympathise with the pain of losing someone dear. In Journey to the West, he sets out to retrieve the scriptures after losing his mother + solving his dad's murder (and thats after being separated from them since and before birth). He's going through his own form of unhealthy grief, similar to his attitude in "The Great Tang Man"; he doesn't want to get close to anyone because he fears losing another loved one. But he sees that Monkey is refusing to accept that someone he cared for is gone, and wishes to find wisdom to help them both.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are also sympathetic, but a little unnerved by Wukong's obsession. Bajie was a witness to Wukong's Havoc in Heaven, and knows that the Six Eared Macaque fell to the Furnace when his king did not. He's the one to yell at Wukong when he's annoyed by the monkey's chattering to the ash vessel. Wujing is the one to gently suggest ways to include Macaque's memory in healthier ways, and frequently helps Wukong with tasks when the monkey refuses to put down the vessel. Wujing knows how important those things are.
The one who understands the most though, is Ao Lie. He witnessed how his family went nuts in the aftermath of Ao Bing's death. The ones who grieved loudly and silently. The pain that rebounded onto Nezha and his family. Ao Lie was quite young when the death occurred, and always felt like he was on "the outside" of what was happening. He understands that this is the way Sun Wukong choses to process what has happened to Macaque. Ao Lie feels no place to correct him on it - and just understanding Wukong's pain is enough to help the monkey heal even if it takes years.
Wukong in this AU would be far more hesistant to kill his mortal opponents. He knows that even the strongest warrior may fall to ruin. And that the most hated Kings have someone who will mourn their loss. Sometimes his personality of an unhealthly-grieving widower is enough for some threats to back off. Even a demon knows that it is shameful to harass someone who is mourning.
I imagine the most shocked of their encounters would be the monkeys former allies...
Azure: "Sun Wukong? I thought you threw your lot in with the Heavenly Host. Following the beck and call of the Tang Monk." SWK: "I have. But I figured me and Mihou should pay you guys a visit." Peng: "The Six Eared Macaque? So he has survived the Furnace. No doubt he slunk away into the shadows once the lid rose. Where is that coward hiding now?" SWK: "He isn't hiding. He's been here the whole time." (SWK pats the vessel in his arms) The Brotherhood, all realising: "OH." ( ;O_O) (O_O;) ( `−ㅿ−´) Yellow Tusk: "...I believe the Six Eared Macaque has sacrificed the most for our cause. We should show him and Sun Wukong some hospitality, and listen to their tales of travel." Azure, creeped out: "Agreed."
Others like DBK and PIF would also be in mourning. But I could see them almost finding Wukong's behavior romantic. After all, they don't know what they would do if the other had died in battle.
I feel like instead of a "Macaque Chapter" where Wukong encounters his doppleganger while him and Tripitaka aren't on good terms; it's Wukong becoming frustrated with the others' worrying and comments and wanting to prove that theres a way Macaque still lives. And if it involves harassing the Heavens, the Underworld, or the Buddha himself then he'll try.
Perhaps the crux of his Journey is SWK deciding to let go and release Mac's ashes (likely at Flower Fruit Mountain) and learning healthier ways to honor Mac's memory. Or perhaps requesting that the Buddha reunite them - whether as a revival, in death, or in the next life...
BUT ALSO CONSIDER THIS:
Sun Wukong was only able to legitimately survive the Eight Trigrams Furnace (even with peaches, wines, and pills) because;
He's a manifestation of both Earth and the Mind. All the Furnace did was harden him like a piece of coal becoming a diamond.
Wukong isnt dumb. He knows enough about Taoist Alchemy to know that no matter how hot the crucible gets, it will always be its weakest in the Xun/Sun/Wind Trigram. The theory being that while Air feeds Fire, Wind supresses it - in science terms the increased pressure caused by the pure Wind element suffocated the hottest flames but created a lot of smoke; forever reddening Wukong's eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Above: Two separate translations I got.
Macaque is associated with Wind, especially in LMK and other Jttw-inspo works that merge his character with the Macaque King/Great Sage Informing Wind. And as a Celestial Primate/Mystic Monkey, he holds powers unknown to Heaven and himself.
If in Taoist Alchemy; Wind supresses Fire, then there's a chance that instead of becoming refined like a earthy diamond like Sun Wukong - the Six Eared Macaque would cause a different unholy reaction within the Furnace. Like a pressure cooker ready to burst, the Wind within would only expand/quicken until breeched.
Lao Tzu/Laozi opens the Furnance after 49 days, expecting the two monkey demons to be reduced to a pile of ashes and pills. He's met by a pair of monsters that burst forth from the crucible like Pandora's box.
Heaven weeps.
Even if Macaque's physical body was lost to the Furnace, he could retain enough magic to manipulate his ashes into a smokey ghost-like form. The Buddha would be forced to contain Macaque for those 500 years by sealing him in an air-tight vessel.
Wukong carrying around his mate's ashes and the pilgrims thinking him mad with grief, only for Macaque to reveal at an awkward time that he's still technically "alive". Pluming forth from the vessel and ensaring their foes with his ribbon-like tendrils.
And if you wonder what a Furnaced!Macaque would look like? He's already shown us;

Thoughts on the tyranny of king Washington dlc?
Tumblr media
Not good.
I believe I’ve talked about this before on my blog but I can’t find the posts to link back to rn unfortunately.,,
But uhh I’ll just. Lightning round it real fast
“it’s all a dream” dumbassery
Racism behind the scenes (exclusion of indigenous talent and consultants that were present in the main game, very little care or no usage of the Kanienkehá:ka language, etc)
P much non of the indigenous cast returned except for Noah as Ratonhnhaké:ton. Ziio, Kanen’tó:kon, Oiá:ner… all different people (and all white or non indigenous if memory serves me right. I heard a story where Tiio Horn didn’t even know the dlc was being made until Noah told her at a con)
Killing ziio again for no god damn reason. And Kanen’tó:kon. Oh how about we kill Oiá:ner this time too. All of em died shamefully.
Writing Ratonhnhaké:ton pretty badly,,?? Idc if it’s bc of the weird tea he drank he shouldn’t be an asshole to Kanen’tó:kon and have that go unaddressed
Making him more animalistic and a jerk in general. Like the animal spirit dream segments keep making him run around on all fours n snarling n shit STOP IT
THEY WROTE ZIIO SO BADLY????? She only appears as this big floating head after her death shaming him for drinking the tea and she finally says “you’re no son of mine” JESUS CHRIST???????? This is not my Kaniehtí:io who are you and what did you do to her. No amount of girlbossism is gonna fix this for me
The spirit animals powers and plot … self explanatory (I love how ac3 took efforts to avoid harmful stereotypes and then just mega beamed it into the dlc)
His outfit,,, most of the game is in winter why aren’t u dressed more practically omg. Also I get.. weird vibes from it idk. It low key feels like an excuse to just make him scantily clad eye candy (also they debuffed him a lil which makes me sad. You are dehydrated !!!!)
“Wouldn’t it be wild if George Washington was genocidal good thing he never had the apple irl” hate to break it to you but— (I’m sorry I just. The framing in the game irks me where they treat him being racist as being the result of the apple and that he’s just a misunderstood guy that wants a vineyard or whatever tf he said in the game)
Thomas Jefferson being here and being a good guy. Idk I just. I don’t like it.
It has a salvageable premise,, a reimagined history timeline of a largely indigenous cast rising against a maniacal George Washington that shoots lasers. In the hands of a better crew and artist i think it would have been great and fun but as is.,,
I also like bad end alternate universe stories where someone gets dropped into a world where everything they know is wrong!! Call me silly but. Phineas and Ferb across the second dimension. But no yeah this is awful awful awful despite using a trope I like.
The only good thing I can say about tokw is that it has a great score. Lorne Balfe knocks it out of the park again but no yeah this kinda sucks ass imo. Also Noah’s voice performance really went off here but that’s it.
If I find the posts I talked abt this before in I’ll link it here but yeah. Lucky me that my favorite ac game also has the worst dlc of the entire franchise. And so the monkey paw curled.
Also heads up I’m not indigenous so when I talk abt the more racial stuff here, I’m not speaking from experience but rather what I’ve learned from other people who discuss stereotypes in media and what should be done to allow better representation
Anyways that’s abt it will edit if I find my old posts

@lara-legomonkiekid
(Y/N male monkey)
My idea would be, What if Monkey King was walking he doesn't realize he's in another territory and ends up falling into a trap, then Y/N(♂️) appears hanging from a tree asking who he is and what would he be doing in his territory.
Oh Hot jungle man🥵🥵🥵
Tumblr media
(Lmk Wukong) He did not know home this happen. One moment he was exploring a new island he came across on one if his maps. Now the moment he's been caught in a trap by a giant, Muscular, scar....cover lion's main based fur who was less then pleased for him to be in his territory.
Monkey (M/N) WHO ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY TERRITORY🤬🤬🤬
Wukong:😳😳😳......🤤🤤🤤.....🥵🥵🥵
You know what they say What is a king to a god
Tumblr media
(NR Wukong) He wasn't paying attention to much to where he was going. He probably should have because now he seems to be tied up. And there was an incredibly hot hunky monkey glaring down at him with such intent.
Monkey (M/N): Who are you and what are you doing in my territory
Normally this is a no thoughts head empty moment, but there was only one thought that ran in Wukong's head that whole time
Wukong: Ho.........ly😳 Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Tumblr media
(HIB Wukong) He's unsure how to feel about any of this. He was trying to find Liuer When he got tricked into playing hide and seek with But now he's trapped by another angry but attractive looking monkey Who was very territorial apparently.
Monkey (M/N) What are you doing in my territory
Wukong Is in a state of shock and he can't really answer because of the show. Breathing on the blush on his face.
Monkey (M/N) And is this human cub yours???
You pulled out Liuer whom run into you when he was trying to find a Place to hide. He gave you sad eyes But you'd never responded to it.
Tumblr media
(Mk Reborn Wukong) You two were glaring into each other's souls. One was glaring because he was caught in the trap and the other was past. Because the of the invasion of territory. Wukong Couldn't even fight back The blush on his face when the much bigger monkey was glaring at him demanding He was as territory in the first place. Wukong Is a f*cking king he doesn't need to answer to you. But what he doesn't know was that you're a fucking god And you're going to make him realize that one way or another
Tumblr media
(Netflix Wukong) You were actually laughing at him. Here you thought it was an enemy in your territory but no. It was a cute little monkey Baby monkey boy who is nervous so you're looking at you In the trap you set up. He was so freaking cute that you I didn't even have it And you to be mad at him if anything. This cute little anxious baby made You wanna keep him for as long as you could.

If this is the beginning to a very interesting Relationship.

Spicynoodles prompt:
Bama?
Red Son looks down from the table and sees his 4 year old child staring curiously at him.
Yes my firefly?
Grandpa Wukong said I was a honeymoon baby? What does that mean?
Red Son spits out his drink.
"Bama?"
Red Son looked down from the table to see his 4-year-old daughter staring curiously up at him. He felt a small smile form. Every day, he was so lucky to have her. "Yes, my firefly?"
Huiying made grabby hands, the silent signal for 'up.' Red did as requested, taking a sip of his coffee once she was secure. "Grandpa Sun said I was a honeymoon baby? What does that mean?"
Red Son spat out his drink.
"What?!" Why was Sun Wukong telling her something like that?!
"Does it mean I was made with honey?!" Huiying asked, her eyes going wide. Honey was her favorite treat. She grinned, starting to wriggle excitedly. "What kind of honey!?"
Red looked around, trying his best to keep a smile on his face. He had hoped this question would wait. "No, no, it doesn't mean that." He looked around, just in case. It would be fine if Xiaotian or Xiaojiao walked in, but if Sun did? He was a dead man. "A honeymoon is a special trip that Baba and Bama took after we got married." Huiying nodded. "But, uh...you weren't actually made during our honeymoon."
-Four years ago-
"Oh shit."
Qi Xiaotian looked up at him with the saddest puppy eyes. “Shit?” he repeated. “You’re not happy?”
“Oh no, don’t get me wrong, I’m ecstatic.” Red couldn’t look at the tests on the counter. All of them bearing the same two little lines that said the same thing: they were going to be parents. “But remember why we’re getting married in a week?” Xiaotian’s sad puppy eyes disappeared as he concentrated. Red could practically see the equations floating around his head. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He loved this man, he did, but still. “We had a pregnancy scare.”
“Oh yeah-” Xiaotian’s grin at having the answer disappeared. He winced. “Ooh, yeah.”
Their families had found out about their year-long relationship right then and there. Once it was figured out that, no, Xiaotian was not pregnant, Sun Wukong had laid out a simple demand: they get married before having a baby. There had been some more harsh words aimed at Red. Although he couldn’t blame the king for not yelling at his Noodle Boy- he had a very cute face that made it hard to be mad at him.
So, off they went to plan a wedding.
A wedding that was only a week away.
“We gotta lie.”
Red looked up. “What?”
“Look, I’m only…” Xiaotian glanced at his stomach and gave it a quick press. It still looked normal chubby instead of pregnancy chub, but Red was willing to guess that a firmness had started to form. “A few weeks along. I have to tell Xiaojiao-” Made sense. Red nodded. “So she knows to keep everyone away when I get changed. We tell everyone when we get back from our honeymoon.”
“And then what?” Red was liking this plan but he was also mildly panicking. Anything could’ve sounded good. “What happens when they’re earlier than expected?”
Xiaotian gestured to himself. He was all cute monkey demon, his tail wrapping around his own tail in quiet comfort. Red felt himself relax a tad at the warmth. “Monkey pregnancies are shorter than human pregnancies.”
That was true. However, there was an issue. Red pressed his fingers to his mouth. “I should restate myself.” He took a deep breath. “What happens when Sun Wukong notices they’re earlier than expected?”
Xiaotian opened his mouth, closed it, and seemed to think. “We could say that me having that glamor spell on me for almost my entire life…” He cycled his hands, working through the spot. “Might’ve screwed with my systems. After all, my body never gave any sign I wasn’t human. Who knows how long this pregnancy could be?” Red opened his mouth. “And we can talk to my OG-GYN. Xe’ll back us up.”
It sounded weirdly simple.
But simple was one of the best plans.
-Now-
“And so we lied to everyone except your Ayi.”
Huiying blinked. “Baba says lying’s wrong.”
Red nodded, fighting back a pained grimace. The honesty of children hurt sometimes. “And he’s right. Don’t do what we did.”
“Is it lying if I don’t tell you something?”
Huh. Well, that was a change. “I mean, it depends. What aren’t you telling me?”
Huiying pointed to her head. “Grandpa Sun has been listening.” Now that she had pointed it, Red could see a little figure on her headband. What he assumed was a little cartoon figure of the Monkey King now had its arms crossed, glaring at him.
“Ah.”
“He says you get a five-minute headstart for lying.”

So as someone who FULLY subscribes to the idea that a modern au Dutch would dress like it’s still the 70’s, I propose the idea that he’d listen to only 60s-80s music (what he calls the only good period of music.)
He’d listen to Prince, Christopher Cross (Arthur’s theme lol), Boston, Journey, Duran Duran, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Tyler, Queen, The Beatles, John Denver, TOTO, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Seals and Crofts, The Outfield, Men At Work, Blue Swede, Starship, Elton John (OBVIOUSLY), etc etc.
But MOST of all, Dutch would listen to ABBA. This man fully stans ABBA, he has ABBA merch, all the vinyls, he cried when Voyage came out, he probably even got to see them in concert at one point. You cannot take Mamma Mia from this man because my my just how much he missed him. His fav ABBA song would be King Kong Song because he loves to pull Hosea over to do silly little dances while he sings along, and Hosea just loves to see that big stupid smile.
And, I say this as a YRR fan, Dutch would go to Yacht Rock Revue shows and be on the rail with Hosea beside him (who probably has some earplugs in since it’s loud in front of Monkey Boy.) He loses his ever loving mind when they do the Africa/Dancing Queen mashup and he knows all of Nick’s little improvisations to the point that he does them in the car whenever a song comes on. (Also, anchorheads in joke, but he’d yell FUCKIN LOCKET- during Brandy. Gotta love live stream slip ups)
so here’s my Dutch playlist, please ignore how itll go from sad dutch song to angst to fall out boy to yacht rock to rdr soundtrack and back to fall out boy its my wall across campus and think abt dutch soundtrack
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, I have to walk to class now.

SunWukong!Amnesia Rules with Fem!Reader
"Master, it's safe to come out now. You too Piglet." Huh? What did Sun Wukong it's saying? You just woke up from a nap, and then some wraking startled you... And a bright light blided you. And you see this monkey friend of yours acting strange, and Mr Tang and Pigsy looked like they just broke something.
"Not AGAIN!" Pigsy angrily whinned, as you kept clueless.
"What did you say, Pi-" He turned and at the moment he saw you, he went spechless. And his face brighted!. In a blink of an eye he dashed in your direction and embraced you tighlty, with his voice filled with joy. "PEACHES, YOU CAME BACK💕!!"
When you pushed him and back off all stratled, (He just hugged you out of nowhere, of course you'd freak out!) his gaze seemed confused. "Heh... Come on, Peaches, it is me. Sun Wukong?" Your lost worlds made him more confused, but then his eyes wided. "No.. It can be!" He cupped your face and turned to Mr Tang with a worriedsome face. "Master, MY DEAR PEACHES HAS LOST HER MEMMORIES!!"
Pigsy explained in a nutshell that Sun Wukong has amnesia and he belives he's in the past, in the Journey of the West. They would find a way to reverted, so you'll keep an eye of him for a while. The monkey was explaining what you forgot. You meet the travelers in your home tribe, an all-woman village of fearsome warriors; your queen wanted to marry Master Tang Sanzang by force, and you aid them. It was because of one training in the night together when your feeling grew, and had secret meeting for weeks. You were so in love that Sun Wukong wanted to take you out of the village, but in the end the Queen threated to sent you to death; so you both made an outh that if you ever escape or if he rescue...
"... We could be together for eternety. Please, try to remember". He pleaded, but what could answer? You thing that the Amnesia Rule it's to not disturb the amnesic one. He looked so hurt... He shake his head and gently touch your hand. "My apoligies, I think the best we can do it's to wait for Master; he'll know what to do."
"I'm sorry..." You finally said, he looked like a sad puppy. He holden your hand as a respond. "Oh no, don't be. I am being too forward despise of your amnesia. I should be the one who apologises here." You never saw Sun Wukong so apologitic, so honest.
"So... My name it's really Peaches?" you decided to play along to cheer him up. He chuckled, saying that it was another one. "It's a name that I called you because despise being raised in such a dark place... You were the sweetest person I've ever met. Sweet as peaches." Ok, now THAT made you blush! Didn't see that coming. "Wow... Can you be MORE cheesy?!" You just laughed averting his gaze, you were getting redder. Suddenly, His other hand reached your cheeck, a lead your face into his.
"WUKONG!!!" SAVED BY THE SWINE! Monkey Kid was a inch to kiss you, but as soon he heard Pisgy he went in warrior mode; standing up facing at the cook who was a few meters of distance. "Huh.. The master needs you! He's been attacked by demons!" He grabbed the very first stick he could reach beliving it was his Staff and fleed in the direction Pigsy pointed. You were still pretrefied and shocked. He was about to kiss You! "You ok?" the pig asked you, and you just nodded fastly, saying that you were cool. "That was a close one--" "Please, tell me you know how to get him back! And that he would forget he tried to kiss me!" "Easy, kid. Tang it's on it." Then you heard a huge CRASHING sound and the land rumbled.
It's not that you didn't disgusted the idea to kissing him. It's just... THAT Wukong belived that you were his past love, so technicly he wanted to kiss that past warrior, not you. It sadded you a little, but what could you do? The huge rock that Mr Tang dropped over him returned his senses. That amnesia rule worked, who knew? You wanted-- No, you're glad that at least the Monkey King doesn't remember that he almost kissed you...
...Oh, he DOES! He can't ever gaze at his Peaches of Inmortality without getting red of embarrasment. You won't see him till he feel prepare to face you.
