That's not forgetting the fact MK was also in big trouble.

Wukong: 1300 years, Macaque! We have been married, officially, for over 1300 years! What in Newa's name would compelling you to look me in the eye and lie to my face about this!? For over a year!

Macaque: I-I know, but Peaches this was important! I promise, I promise I was only trying to protect you and our cubs!

Wukong: FAT LOAD OF GOOD THAT DID! We all got dragged into it anyway, Liu'er! Xiaotian was searching for you every day, getting into fights with demons and celestials alike to figure out where you went! Our powers are gone, we're being chased across all of China and beyond while our home is a literal icicle, and the Lady Bone Demon has Ringu Jingu Bang! How is this protecting us!?

Tang, whispering to MK: Is... is this the famous temper that once gave Sun Wukong the reputation of being capable of cowing even the great Li Jing!?

MK nods mutely: I heard the story. Apparently, I was there, just not born yet.

Small cute headcanon, but I headcanon that Tripitaka had officiated Wukong and Macaque's official wedding in JTTW Stone Egg au

referencing. Hehe I love all of this

Macaque: "Are son was getting into fights!?... did he win?" Wukong: "OF COURSE HE WON! HE'S OUR SON! DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!" The Noodle Shop Gang: (*keeping a safe distance*) Tang, whispering jokingly: "Oh my gosh. Flashback to the Golden Pouch Mountain, am I right?" Nezha, with a thousand-yard stare: "Yeah, Macaque is not in Sun Wukong's good graces at the moment. I stll remember having to hoist him up so that he could look my father in the eye while he screamed." Tang, fascinated: "I... I was just joking but omg. He had you lift him up? Thats so cute!" Nezha: "Yeah, I wasn't about to argue with a hormonal expectant monkey. The only reason that anger wasn't directed at me was because he saw me as a cub to protect. My father crumbled like a stone pillar after the first five minutes." MK, laughing nervously: "I was there! Just an Egg though." The Noodle Shop Gang: (*realising just how old MK is*) "wut"

And oh gosh the legendary "Shouting at General Li Jing for the Rhino King incident". I love the idea of historians jotting that down and forgetting the context of why Sun Wukong was so furious at the Pagoda King.

I feel like Macaque deliberately struck himself out of many records to keep his and MK's presence a secret from mortal eyes and ears. But some people (esp demon historians) still wrote down that the Monkey King had a super-protective-adoring mate during his Journey to the West.

Basically most of Macaque's reunion + MK's reveal to his mom/baba that he's been secretly a superhero is Wukong yelling at them for hours from worry.

I've mentioned the 5 elements in passing a few times, most notably when I talked about the 8 trigrams and the 4 ( or 5) Guardian Beasts, but I haven't gone into detail about them. That changes now!

Most westerners (or anyone that's watched Avatar) are familiar with the 4 elements: earth, water, fire, and air. These were more popular in the west having been codified by Greek philosophers. It's not that they didn't show up in Asia, as they were popular in India and their neighbors. However that part of the world has a significant cultural identity to East Asian countries like China. As such, the Chinese idea of the 5 elements, or the Wuxing, is more common in those regions.

Wuxing, literally meaning 'moving star,' refers to the 5 major planets: Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Mercury, and Venus. As is implied by that name the 5 elements were each closely tied to a corresponding planet. Jupiter is wood, Mars is fire, earth is Saturn, Mercury is water, and Venus is metal. For those familiar with JttW, this is why the deities of Mercury and Mars Wukong seeks for help in the incident with the Rhino King are water and fire gods respectively.

The order you place the elements in is important as well, as each element reacts differently with the others in what are called cycles. First, there's the strengthening cycle: wood feeds fire, fire makes earth, earth bears metal, metal collects water, and water grows wood. Note that it does not matter which element begins the cycle as long as the rest are in the correct order. There are also the weakening (wood, water, metal, earth, fire), regulating/overacting (wood, earth, water, fire, metal), and counteracting (wood, metal, fire, water, earth) cycles that each have the elements play off each other in different ways for different purposes.

One thing I don't think is mentioned enough is the fact that during the journey, a lot of Celestials took the opportunity to just... outright FUCK around with Wukong. Like, they'd send all sorts of demons their way intentionally just to intervene and say "Oh hey! You found my favorite pet!" Even Guanyin hadn't been innocent of this considering she had this huge fit over her pet goldfish. And if they weren't using their pets they were finding other methods to delay or otherwise force the Pilgrims off the beaten path and into danger out of some sort of test, spite, or pettiness.

Now, think about how in the both JTTW and Slow Boiled au Wukond actually was pregnant or not during the journey, and in Century au, the Heavenly Court BELIEVE he was pregnant. So imagine how those guys feel after they decided to fuck with Wukong put of spite and found out they unknowingly were stressing a pregnant monkey out!?

Yeah! Characters like Gold Star hide their identities to aid the main characters, while some are just... doing it for fun? Are they LARP-ing? And Monkey has Gold-Vision; why does he always not recognise these people even from his Celestial days?

Guanyin set up a whole honey trap knowing that half the squad ain't into it, and dropped the gang on their way home cus they missed 1 story event. The abbey with the Ginseng tree were pretty rude af. The Buddha's own servants tried to fleece the gang of the scriptures. Multiple kingdoms suffered cus King Who-Care shot somebody's bird-cousin, or knocked over a table of offerings. And the 28 Lunar Mansions took almost 13 years to realise that the Wood Wolf was missing.

Lao Tzu's lab assisants literally run off with his stuff and become demon lords for lulz (or they were the assisants that let the Rhino King/Buffalo out and were scared that they'd get in trouble). And lets not forget RHINO KING. Bruh, you somehow lost track of a gotdang celestial Bull-Rhino!?

Guanyin's not immune from this; TWO of her pets became horrific demons (Goldfish and Sai Taisui) and are arguably the most irredeemable of all the villains faced.

Lady Earth Flow/Albino Rat/Bat spirit is even described as Li Jing's adoptive daughter - how the f that happen?? How did he lose track of a whole kid so bad that she became a vampire-esque demon?

Manjusri let their cat (Azure Lion) out TWICE. And they cursed the Wuji kingdom for tossing them in a sewer for preeching.

After a point, I'd imagine Wukong in the stone egg aus would just throw his hands up and start yelling at the gods directly. He's even bolder in the Jttw Stone Egged au given that he has Macaque as back-up.

You know that chapter where Rhino King steals all of the Heavenly Army's powers and weapons, and the immortals are all infighting so hard that Wukong has to be the voice of reason?

Imagine a tiny hormonal monkey just going nuts at these gods. He's screaming in their faces. He's demanding Nezha lift him up so he can look General Li Jing in the eye. He's telling them what good are they as fighters if they only feel safe with their weapons and powers? Wukong has a *damn* good reason he ain't taking on Rhino King in a 1-v-1 rn, whats all these gods excuse?!

The gods are too surprised and intimidated to argue back. And you better believe a certain alchemist is getting a smack for letting a whole animal loose from his lab.

Wukong, sitting on Nez Ha's shoulders as he screams in General Li Jing's face: YOU DAMN WELL BETTER FIND A DIFFERENT SOLUTION FOR THIS SHIT, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, AND ACT LIKE THE GENERLA YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AND NOT THE FUCKING COWARD YOU'RE ACTING LIKE NOW BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO FIGHT THAT STUPID RHINO PIECE IF SHIT IN SINGLE COMBAT IM COMING AFTER YOUR ASS!

General Ji Ling: Don't you dare call me a coward! Especially when you are the cowardly one in this situation to deny an honorable duel!

Wukong, even louder and more pissed off: IN WHAT WAY IS A HEAVILY PREGNANT PERSON NOT WANTING TO RISK THEIR GODDAMN BABY BY FIGHTING A GIANT RHINO DEMON A COWARDLY THING TO DO!? GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING YOU SON OF A *INSERT BAD WORD*, BEFOFE I SHOW YOU HOW 'COWARDLY' THIS EXPECTANT MOTHER REALLY IS!!!

Needless to say, General Li Jing gets his shit together, and there's a new joke amongst the barracks

referencing this post.

I just love the imagery of Nezha holding Sun Wukong like that since, in Wukong's mind, Nezha's still a kid and it's reasonable that he's freaking out after getting his weapons taken away - he's a cub after all, no reason to yell at him for getting scared.

In the "open" Jttw Stone Egged au; Mac's just standing next to his mate with a proud shit-eating grin. Like "Heck yeah! My mate is so fierce and wise! Y'all can't measure up to him in a fist fight." He loves it when his mate goes off on celestials. <3

Mac eventually just sneaks in via the shadow under the cave door and kills the Rhino King in his sleep. Lao Tzu was disappointed/upset, Mac didn't care - hows it feel to have the fate of someone you care about in the hands of another, jerk?

It becomes a joke amongst the celestials that General Li Jing was shown up by a pair of mated monkeys (one pregnant) while unarmed. He glares at any soldier that dares make a comment about it.

Celestial Soldier: "So... arm wrestling competition. The General or the King?" Thunder Spirit: "The King definently. You saw how close he was to crapping himself when he got the pagoda taken away. Even in his current state, I bet Sun Wukong could fold him like origami." Fire Dragon: "Absolutely. Whilst me and my fellow dragons were captured by the Ring, the monkey was willing to confront the Rhino demon head on in battle whilst General Li coward." Macaque, on the ground miles below: *smiling and tail swishing proudly for his King*

Mac doesn't even bother rubbing it in that he succeeded where the armies of heaven failed. He's too happy that Wukong finally give the general a piece of his mind.

Wukong going off on the gods gives me joy, although I'm fairly certain in Slow Boiled he would sadly be unable to use the fact he has a damn good excuse as said excuse since the is actively tryong to keep his pregnancy hidden. On JTTW Stone Egg au he definitely goes off and Macaque happily backs him up and offers to do it himself if he's so upset but "Don't expect me not to kill the fucking bull!" He can tell its Lao Tzu's pet, he doesn't give a shit. Lao Tzu threw his mate into a crucible. Killing his pet when he loses the animal is just payback.

referencing this post about Stone Egg au Wukong blowing up at the gods.

Yeah a huge difference between the two Journey-era stone egg aus is Wukong's openess on the matter of him being "with Egg". In the Jttw Stone Egged au, he's pretty open about it cus Mac and him have made up and are 100% preparing to settle down once this stupid Journey is over. But in the Slow Boiled au; Wukong keeps it a secret from Everyone save for the Pilgrims and some very trusted gods - especially when he loses Mac to a flash of protective anger.

In Slow Boiled au though; when General Li Jing challenges Wukong's claim of the Heavenly Army being cowards, the monkey throws up his arms in frustration and goes straight to a certain pair of lab assistants (Jin & Yin) on the matter. Those two do have access to a magical victim-sucking calabash after all - it could cancel out the Rhino King's ring or at least separate him from it. While there he runs into Lao Tzu (mad about all his stuff getting stolen + Wukong travelling magically in his condition) who lets it slip that one of his lab animals is missing...

Wukong yells so hard at Lao Tzu that the army posted on earth hears it.

Wukong gets a rep among the celestial barracks as someone you don't want to get mad. Imagine the world's most scathing drill sergeant and add in monkey hormones and the risk of losing his comrades, and you got an approximation of what those soldiers heard down there.

For celestial NATO, since there is about 27 pantheons I imagine that everyone is arguing about how to punish Azure. In the end they have Xi Wagmu decide whether she herself will deal with him or have one of the regions' gods execute him.

This would also spark an investigation in Diyu featuring the underworld gods(they have to share after all). Hades, Pluto, Osiris, Hel, Ah Puch, Mictlantecuhtli, Arawn, Emma-ō(Enma depending) and Yeomna have their strongest soldiers to make sure no one is trying to escape *coff*TenKings*coff*

Ooof. Its like in the Rhino King chapter of JttW where the Celestial Realm had to have an internal investigation in order to determine the baddie's true identity. Everybody getting audited by an outside pantheon.

I feel like they pass Azure's judgement onto his own bodhisattva Manjushri - who has forgiven the bad kitty at least twice before. The most Azure ends up getting is community service and public cat shaming. Meanwhile, Peng is in birdy timeout in a big Tweety Bird cage.

Azure has to hold a sign saying something like:

The cat gods approve. The other gods are confused why this is considered an adaquate punishment.

Bastet: "You don't understand because you don't own a cat." Shashthi, Freya, Ishtar, and Korravai: *all nod in agreement*

But yeah a bunch of the different Underworlds are under internal investigation because of the Scroll of Memory situation. The Ten Kings are on house arrest until things get cleared up.

Speaking of OSP. In a past post, it was mentioned how the Greek god might react if they were ever introduced to OSP's Miscellaneous Myths. But how would the LMK gang react to Red's take on Journey to the West?

I have mentioned MK getting better aquainted with Journey of the West via OSP in this post here.

Wukong def finds it funny as heck and loves his fluffy scamp design, but skips certain parts ie; his punishments and the Macaque storyline. Also probably wonders why the ghost king and the ginseng abbey incident are missing.

OSP: *introduces the Fire Star of Mars in the Rhino King ep* SWK, squinting: "How do they know what my lawyer looks like?"

Macaque and Pigsy probably ignore it cus they ain't really interested i JttW ("Sacrilege!" MK, SWK, and Tang reply). Macaque probably snickers at the memes tho. Pigsy also hate-watches Zhu Bajie's segment and wonders why the dumb pig couldn't tell his wife from a monkey.

Sandy finds it really cute! And very useful way of introducing people uniformed about the rich history of his new immortal friends. He values any kind of media that makes things more accessable for others. He likes how Sha Wujing holds back his power until he's faced with an entire army targetting his friends.

Mei def hypes up Ao Lie whenever the horse-dragon does anything. Like during the Yellow-Robed Demon episode where the gang is at there darkest hour, and Ao Lie has to break horse-character. ("Heck YEAAH! Go grandpa!!")

Red Son finds the animation informative but embarassing. He does not like being reminded of his "wild" days, or his involuntary head-shaving, or the time he sat on the fake lotus throne, or having to live with Guanyin for centuries to hone his emotions... He probably writes out a multi-paragraph comment with the real story of how he got the Samadhi Fire taken from him, but deletes it at the last second. No one would believe it was really him commenting after all.

YOUIYOIAUEUEUSHS ADD A BREAKING BONES TW FOR THIS ONEEE

[It actually sounds a little bittersweet for Jiyu and her wife Ykothe to be like the moon and the ocean (ie the moon and the tide personified almost). Able to see and influence on another, but with reduced contact.]

I can just imagine Jiyu telling her story to Wukong about HOW she got banished to the moon. I also forgot to tell you that she was once a pet bat of the Jade Emporer and she was given a human form. /pos

Jiyu went down to earth under the Jade Emporer's permission, then met a mortal woman, whose name is—Ykothe, her now wife.

Jiyu, explaining to SWK where she has been all these years: "he asked me what happened to my good sense, Xiwangmu made me weak, broke my legs in two, and sent me to the moon. Ykothe had her feet in the water, she became one with it."

SWK: "so.. he sent you to the moon because he was homophobic?"

Jiyu: "Wukong, that's literally what I just told you. OH WAIT— BY THE WAY, LOOK AT MY NEWBORN BABY, ISN'T SHE SO CUTE?!"

SWK: *that one amazed cat meme* "YOU HAVE CHILDREN?! SINCE WHEN?!"

sequel post to this one introducing Jiyu and her ocean wife.

The idea of Jiyu once being a "normal" pet bat of the Jade Emperor is a really cool idea - especially since a lot of Jttw characters started off as "normal" animals that grew some level of enlightenment (Rhino King being Lao Tzu's fave buffalo, Guanyin's pet Goldfish, the Scorpion Demoness being a normal scorpion that scared the inner peace out of Buddha, etc) and rebelled against Heavens rule.

JE and Xiwangmu do be that kind of petty. They literally cursed Sandy (a cup bearer) to be a river demon targeted by chronic pain (literal heavenly blades coming at at) just cus he dropped the Queen's fave cup/vase.

Jiyu gives me almost pokemon Lunala vibes. Her and her ocean wife kissing almost looks like the literal night sky and ocean are melting into one another.

And a baby!? :O! I bet she's the embodiment of the moon's glow on the ocean/moon glint (a phenomenon that effects the behaviors of a lot of fish - seahorses in particular).
