Just imagine- macaque mentioning to MK that he has had 5 boyfriends (yeah he was mostly there for wukong, but he still dated the others), and wukong all offended because he thought he was macaque's only one.

The thing that’s most fun about the Sworn Brothers is when Sun Wukong has absolutely no fucking idea that there is any romance involved 😂

Even when he’s completely aware of all the kissing and sleeping together happening in the background (including what he gets in on himself), he still is just like “yeah this is just what bros do, isn’t it???” It’s doubly funny if he interprets ONE of those relationships he has as being romantic and serious, but just doesn’t understand that they’re all, like, sharing. Sure, Macaque can go make out with Peng whenever he wants, but he’s still Sun Wukong’s boyfriend first. Peng is just his bro. Macaque having to literally point out to him that they are (or were) in a five way polycule is just the funniest shit imaginable and also totally in character.

Love for this argument to happen in front of MK too. Macaque is screaming at Wukong about how he could possibly be so dense as to think they were exclusive when he explicitly saw him with Peng multiple times, AND got Azure Lion himself on a regular basis, and Sun Wukong is trying to defend his obliviousness by insisting that it’s pretty normal for monkeys to be really open in their relationships so he didn’t think it was weird at all! MK is just sitting there in between them like

Pounding my fist on the floor, 1) you KNOW most of tumblr is going to be obsessed with Macky’s stage voice. He’d be an icon for it, YouTube commercials want him voice acting for them and video game trailers like Nevercake. 2) Hilarious how Macky was all LMAO you thought you were the other guy? And how we’re all ruffled over fandom reading wrong, and then Macky gets to experience ALL of that he didn’t intend with fanonizing The Fool. Sorry bud, welcome to fandom! Also bro really thought these Swk moments would prove something and were important enough to include- 3) the mortifying ordeal of Swk talking to you but also complimenting you then insulting you and offering to collab?? 4) oh my gosh not the voice actor theories Mackey is insane, like we been knew how extra he is for the bit but if fandom caught a whiff of that things can go wildly controversial conspiracy for him, stuff like how he’s treating the voice actors/paying/crediting them properly, linking to socials, etc (but if he ever exposes the voices as done by himself they would explode) 5) Wukong persona ship reminds me of the Onceler x himself ship thing tumblr had going on. 6) Macky hears of shipping discourse and wonders what the heck is up with package delivery. 7) Stop that question is so funny, I’m going “Aw lol” at them defending their favorite silly guy but real, going mad with power XD on his way to making the next Antigone (Greek play the terrifyingly large classics fandom on tumblr calls the blueprint for tragedy, we lost a war to them and it resulted in a crack ship because fandoms are that crazy) if fandom is that picky about the tragedy. 8) the memes about Macky and PLS I’m crying this is so funny I’m gonna sob that’s his comfort character!! His self insert blorbo you’re so right he is that author who WILL complain that the curtains were blue for a reason! Literature students hate him and teachers are vindicated! You gotta interpret it correctly hahaha, this kind of behavior would baffle anyone from a whole grown man (his ass does NOT have a degree in the performing arts) didn’t go to school at all, can’t even pay his taxes don’t even got his own house he lives in Swk’s walls. But rlly being protective about who can relate to your comfort character is like, mentally ill tween behavior he gonna be under so much scrutiny

Bestie they would be on him like fucking vultures (get it? because he’s dea—)

he doesn’t get why the fandom is misinterpreting his work. like why are they focusing on some star and cloud when the real themes are centered on the sun and moon like that is his motif, how are they able to be so wrong—

ngl i dont think i would react any differently if i was in Macky’s shoes and my ex/enemy/the guy you wanna kill is gushing about your artwork while giving you a compliment sandwich and WHY IS HE ASKING TO COLLAB WHAT IS HAPPENING????

new video essay just dropped: ISPP’s creator is problematic actually and benefits off of employee abuse (followed by another essay in Macky’s defense and the concept of privacy and how fandom culture has evolved into a space where the privacy and comfortability for actors and production crews is seen as a bad thing vector “deprives the fandom from X”)

yes, i too thought of the Onceler fandom and they also apply as a reference

Macky on his thought over shipping: “I know it evolved over the years and became such an efficient tool. more efficient than i ever dreamed, but i dont see how that relates to my stories???”

the power of the ISPP compels him….to what path? that’s up to him

there would be sO many memes that come after a VA Q&A like so many (“was anyone going to tell me…” and “yeah, yeah the [bombshell of the fandom] we all know that”)

Macky would struggle so, so, sO hard with ppl misinterpreting his work 😂 he is absolutely at that level where he’ll go at arms for his characters (specifically his self-inserts) and talk about how if you watched the films THIS way them MAYBE—

I LITERALLY WASTED AWAY THE ENTIRE DAY

just to learn about journey to the west- I spent my hole day just learning and all I got is that Tripitaka I basically accident prone and keeps getting kidnapped wukong and pigsy have a love hate friendship to some degree sandy and Ao Lie are just forced to watch and that Pigsy and Tripitaka got pregnant…I love it all.

HI BUD, FINALLY FINISHED MY PIECES I WANTED TO SHOW YOU here are my sketches for your lady reaper, please enjoy~

1. Plays of the Past. MK and Co with Júhua watch a play, and a shadow watches them...

2. A Deal. Wukong and a reaper start to converse. Tired, friendly banter ensues.

3. Júhua's past includes a certain hooded stranger, who may play a part in the future, a sinister one ... (pay attention to the color of the pen used for each panel, word, and flowers. They mean something. You can ask. I busted my ass looking up chrysanthemum flowers and drawing them. Please remember this attempt of a pretentious, flowery comic is my first one.)

Enjoy! I hope they're satisfactory. How do you feel about the upcoming s5 of LMK? If they really gave SWK a reaper acquaintance, a neutral party towards him at least, how would it make you feel? Eat your meals regularly and sleep early! Have a good month!

AYYYYY WAY TO GO BESTIE

lmao the Plays of the Past sketch is so funny 😂 and then Macky’s little mini panic seeing Júhua 👀 (ngl I thought of Dr. Doofenshmirtz when he was like “a reaper?…..BLACK REAPER’S DAUGHTER REAPER?!” and laughed a little too hard at that 😅) also, is that Tang giving a side-eye in that sketch too??? 😂😂😂

THE DEAL!! tbh loved writing that little scene between Wukong and Júhua 🥰 writing a dash of banter to establish what their dynamic is like, writing a hint of sunburst duo angst bc I am weak to them T^T, and spilling swk character study 💅

OMFG THE FLASHBACK IS 👌👌👌👌 SO GOOD DEARY IN LOVE

Júhua drawn in yellow to contrast her old mentor 🤧 yellow being her name and something her mother gave her AND IN THE NEXT PAGE IT IS MOSTLY WHITE AFTER SHE GIVES HIM HER MOTHER’S DEFINITION OF HER BECAUSE HE IS NOW REDEFINING IT 🫠

like bro, I haven’t even told you her whole backstory and yet you hit the nail so well wtf T^T (yes, I did see the mother cameos!!!! the first one shown with yellow and Júhua looking so innocent and with admiration. second one is white and walking away and Júhua’s face is blank and ahhhhhhhhhhhh 🫠)

Hi hi! Made more sketches of Júhua and the cast! Some fun times 🙂, and some very not 🙃

1. Top left, Júhua and the little suns, vs Monkey Cop (guess who won). Can you spot the smug smiler?

2. Top right, Júhua and Pigsy, the ups and downs of their relationship. S3 is where they start to hit the rocks. Notice someone sneaking out behind those three? Lady reaper is not happy with local monkey man.

3. Bottom left, SWK fills in his final appointment. Júhua feels melancholic for him.

4. Bottom right, what those two are feeling on the inside. Nobody is happy about the plan but both know the other too well.

I hope you enjoy them! Also your latest meta about the Sunburst duo really broke my heart. What do you mean by that? Will we get what Macaque thinks of Júhua? Will she play a role in s4, seeing as the scroll was a part of Diyu? Eat your fruits and vegetables!

Oh goodness you spoil me 🤧 these drawings!!!! So good!!!

“just one movie,” Júhua says ignorant to what she allowed the little monkeys to drag her into 😂 you depicted it wonderfully

and yes! Pigsy and Júhua were pretty chill during s2 but his trust for her declines at s3 since both her and swk are being secretive and not revealing everything that’s going on

and omfg WUKONG LOOKING TIRED AS HE HANDS HER THE SCROLL 😭 it’s one thing to write it but to see it visualized???? Ough 🫠 and then the one after that 🫠🫠🫠🫠 bro you are shooting me in the heart (I know wrote it first, I know but I and distraught)

I’m enjoying these so much 💖💖💖💖💖 sorry not sorry for the sunburst duo spiral i went into. I just have too many thoughts and feelings involving them and there are plotlines in the show that could lead to a possible fight between them and I can’t wait >:3

it will probably be awhile until we really know mac’s opinions on Júhua and why she’s even here. what I can tell you is that he was definitely annoyed about her appearance when he first found out about her being in Magepolis city. they had never met until the show but Júhua was aware of him since she was around swk enough for him to tell her

as for her role in s4……ya gotta wait a little longer :)
