Originally I planned on making all 3 Ascensions for this Summer Tamamo Cat available as soon as possible but here is the 1st Ascension for my Summer Tamamo Cat Design! The idea was 50s Rockabilly and Footloose! The next one is a lot more Swimsuit-y but I still think this gives off Summer Vibes!

Can't stand the racist ahh caricature of Dr. Gao but I do appreciate the fact that canonically Krane can't stand to be a villain alone, the second his old partner (who he hated anyway) deserts and betrays him he's like. Well. Time for a new mad scientist!

"Well, for what it's worth, I think you'd make a rather proper knight. From what I've heard about your character and from what I've been able to see just by speaking with, you certainly have the nobility and the courage for it." She really could just...feel that air around him, just like she could with Tasuku. It perhaps was just her bias towards the fairytale aesthetic that shifted her perceptions of people, but Suzuha usually was on the money with these things. Indeed, her women's institution almost never failed her, especially when it came to judges of character.

"I...I suppose so." The brightness in her voice starts to wilt a bit, her eyes shifting to stare at the tea in her cup. "Although, being separated from your friends can be...challenging to experience, especially if they do not contact you and you are not aware of their status. I've certainly faced such circumstances myself, such as when Mokuba dear and I lost contact shortly after the passing of his stepfather for six months. It was a period of both unease and loneliness for me. He was, after all, my only close friend at the time."

Well. He didn't so much see himself as a knight. But he guessed when it boiled down to it, maybe he was like a knight of sort to his friends although... probably a more accurate word would be 'avenger'. Because if they had to call him, chances are, whoever was on the receiving end of his wrath would be shown no mercy. That other side of him that he kept at bay might rear its ugly head. Of course, he didn't expect anything crazy to happen these days. All that 'hocus pocus' related stuff was long gone. Plus, with Kaiba having eyes all over the city, he'd likely quell any shenanigans before they could start.

❝I don't know about knight but...yes. I think they know I'm available even if adulting keeps us from hanging out all the time. We're all grown with other interests. Being apart to grow is... a good thing I think.❞

happy april fools!!!

my joke for today... maleficia being forced to wear minimalist clothes so as to disguise as an employee.... inspired by that voiceline of Malleus being uncomfortable to clothes he doesn't wear XD

also ... a little hc where Maleficia is the type of grandma to say "its because you're always on that phone" (bcs i think she dislikes technology esp bcs its a human invention that give power to the humans to defeat the faes lol)but in her case, its just malleus and his little gao gao dragon 😭😭💥💥 its confiscated from him now for all eternity,,,😔😔💔💔

and the funny thing is,, she aint wrong XDD Gao Gao was one of the perpetrators in overblotting Malleus,, giving him ideas of eternally cursing us to a repeated happy dreams😭😭💥💥

you'd think Yuu would be better but they also said "yes" if there's a way to keep everyone with you 🧍🏻‍♀️💥 why are Malleus' friends such a bad influence to him....

ALSO YES IM STILL NOT OVER GUYS. IM MANIFESTING IT SO BAD, I KNOWWW THEY'LL REVEAL QUEEN MALEFICIA... IN QUEEN DRACONIA, WE TRUST 🙏🏻🙏🏻✨💖💖

also I still believe that Queen Maleficia IS THE MOST FITTING person to beat Malleus... Think about it, shes aware of the pressures of being a royalty, shes a person who loses loved ones, and shes someone who has troubles fitting with the average because of her power, like I'm JUSTTSJFGK She's so relatable to Malleus 🥹 If there's any character that would COMPLETELY understand Malleus' struggles, it would be HER. ALSO because she's more powerful than him XD ALSO because if theres anyone that could crush Malleus' prideful attitude rn, ITS HER. 😭

the way I jaw dropped when Malleus seems to be ready to go against Maleficia ☠️☠️☠️ like oh.... hornton.... thats not going to end well for him isnt it skdgkd,,, 🙏🏻🙏🏻☠️💥 plus isn't pridefulness the downfall of Maleficent in the original movie... Malleus' pride increasing so much, he convinced himself to turn against his grandparent WHOSE teaching like "you must always protect the smiles of your people" has been his life oath.... 😭😭😭

Wouldn't it be funny if there was a future BL series starring Benjamin Tsang and Andy Chen (Gao Tian Yang) as a couple? Because that would mean that Benjamin would have kissed all the dorm boys! His own little harem haha xD

Sorry to hear about the heatwave

I found out while making this, funfact, I headcwnon Zu Baijie to have had a shiny oinklonge as a mom because, well...

The color is just too perfect!

@soniclozdplove

Omg I didnt even think about the new gen's shinies! She looks perfect!

I feel like Oinkologne was the prized sow on her owner's ranch, and they prayed that her rare coloration would pass on to one of her Lechonks... only for said lucky piglet to be Zhu Bajie XD

I feel in this crossover, Pokemon are akin to lower-level demons. Barely considered above regular animals, but a little too intelligent for many demons or humans to be comfortable eating.

Bajie eventually broke himself and a bunch of pokemon out of the farm, where his mother refused to leave him until he found his footing in the wild (she's overprotective since he's her youngest).

The Swinub came about when Bajie (then Ganglie) was briefly married to Second Sister Mao (research post here) and living as a man-eater. The orphan piglet was sniffling around the mountains for mushrooms when Bajie found her. Bajie hadn't the heart to abandon the piglet when he agreed to Guanyin's mission, and kept his weird fluffy daughter (his mom was delighted).

The arguement that sparked off the animosity with the Gaos came about cus his father-in-law wanted to sell the pokemon for meat. Bajie got furious and took his mom, daughter, and new wife to their cabin to hide until the Pilgrims found him. His only stipulation to coming along was that his mom and Swinub were protected.

Additional pokemon like his Poltchageist and Farfetch'd happened cus he failed to catch and eat them.

Don't be fooled by his family's sweet appearances! His mother was a prized swine for a reason (her Uproar being one of them).

And for Swinub, well...

Swinub: (*snuffles at Bajie*)

Bajie, holding cooking pot: "No a-nan, this food is for Master Tripitaka. Your's will be done in a moment."

Swinub: (*sniffling sadly*)

Bajie: "Aww sweetheart don't..."

Swinub: (*crying, uses Icy Wind!*)

Bajie, shivering: "Ok fine! One spoonful! You're almost as greedy as me."

[scrumptiouslytooarcade-blog]

(i post this in Ao3 as well xd, it's a Headcanon of mine)

Gao's mom makes Italian style pizzas, so Gao can help but feel weird when he sees people eating pizza with not-so-common things... (Like pineapple)

Our Mighty Aún Fighter is just not used to seeing that kind of stuff

Gao: I think I made someone feel bad...

Gaito: That's new coming from you i think...What did you do?

Gao: Well, Kanata and I went out to eat pizza with our buddies and well, when we were waiting for our orders, a guy from another table asked us if we liked pizza with pineapple... I don't know why...

Gaito: Uh-huh... And then?

Kanata: Well, Gao looked at him weirdly and asked the guy "Who the HELL eats pizza with pineapple?"

Gao: And well, the guy stayed quiet... I think I offended him...

(PD: i don't like pineapple pizza either...it just...not for me :'D)

[the-monkey-ruler]

how hardworking is bajie in the novel? fanart gives off the impression that he’d rather do anything but work

And he WOULD! HE DOES NOT LIKE TO WORK! Rather nap and kick back.

But honestly, next to Wukong, he does do the second most amount of work when it comes to fighting demons and getting food.

Don’t get me wrong man will complain the whole time while doing it but he is a competent fighter in many regards. Man was the Marshall in Heaven that only answered to the Jade Emperor himself, a navel officer so he knows a thing or two about fighting and tactics he just doesn't apply himself often. Not since being pig shaped.

There are many times he was the one to fight demons alongside Wukong, sometimes they even coordinate attacks with one another to get the drop on their enemy.

He was able to kill Princess Jade Face, Great King Fox Number Seven, the Wansheng Princess, all six of the tree spirits, White-Faced Vixen Spirit, King of the Southern Hill, King of Heat Protection, and King of Dust Protection. That isn't even included in the assistant kills that helped with Wukong and in enemies such as the Pythron Demon.

Funny enough he gets pretty protective of Sanzang when it comes to him being sexually harassed as well. I like to think that is his own personal turning point when it comes to respecting other people's boundaries.

But also he 'sacrifices' himself for Sanzang's place XD

I've always read it as it's more of a threat than a promise. Because he also knows that women won't go for him being a pig. Which is a little sad but also him using his appearance to his advantage to scare women in the Women's Kingdom. Says he won't be turned into a fragrant bag cause no one would even want him.

The main reason he is so antagonistic is that he IS THE CLOWN. There is a scene Bajie is being cooked by a GAINT streamer and he complaining he is going to come out wrong if the fire tenders (that Wukong is stopping) don't cook him RIGHT. Also that Bajie knows Wukong in diguse by seeing his cheeks and thinking "I KNOW THOSE CHEEKS ANYWHERE!"

Literally, his role in the book is to make laughs and to be the verbal and literal punching bag. Wukong himself is funny, absolutely, but he needs someone to play off him as well. It is very like that one group of Abbott and Costello vibes in some scenes where they just verbally poke on one other, and often there are cases were they pull pranks. Mostly Wukong at Bajie but still.

Like Wukong letting Bajie get captured by an enemy just so he can save him later. HE DOES THIS TWICE. He was mad Bajie thought he died (legit thought he died) in the first one and he took money from Bajie the second time he saved him XD told him it was the 'groups' money and they should share.

And I know people give Bajie hell for being a shit to Wukong but also… Wukong is ALSO a shit back to him. Wukong isn't one to be walked over and he definitely has his fair share of making Bajie feel that revenge for being a shit in the first place. They are shits to each other. Which makes them ever more enjoyable. Wukong is even the one to put a paper saying "I can heal the king" in Bajie’s back pocket when he falls asleep FACING THE WALL NOT TO SCARE ANYONE WITH HIS FACE. Man was legit trying NOT to get into trouble and Wukong knew this was going to be hilarious.

HE WAS PRANKED.

Also Bajie carrying Wukong thinking he could 'trip' and send Wukong flying. But Wukong anticipated this and made a clone of himself to be on Bajie so when he trip the clone drifted away as Bajie and Wujing just looked on in horror as their brother MELTED before their eyes. And Wukong turning into a woodpecker to peck at Bajie to wake him up.

That one was elaborate.

He does have some good ideas even from time to time despite his laziness. He knew how to get Bailong to walk across ice safely and for once USED THE RAKE AS A RAKE to clear a forest. Also that he knows a bit about farming because he was a farmer for a least three years with the Gao family.

So again he is capable and knows a bit despite his ignorance in other matters he just hates to admit he is wrong and hates to admit even more when he can’t do something. Which is hard to do when you are working with someone with MUCH more knowledge and power like Wukong.

I really think that Bajie looks up to Wukong while also being incredibly jealous of Wukong as well. That he relies on him as a companion but lets his own insecurities and jealousy get in the way of working with him, rather purposefully trying to make things harder for Wukong as if to get back at him. But I really think Bajie knows they need Wukong. Even when Wukong is knocked out and unconscious from the Red Boy fight Bajie doesn't believe for a second he is really dead, rather just going straight into reviving him. He also tells others they should treat him with high respect, make it sound like Wukong is danger but also that he is just so powerful in general and that he deserves to be regarded as such.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Bajie is the one after Wukong's first banishment that he has to go get him to save the rest of the group. Because he is the one that messed up by convincing Saznag Wukong was lying. But he also knows they can't do this journey without Wukong. He might be big talk but I think he's going to get Wukong was a humbling moment for him too cause he knows they are going to lose. Another way he shows that is when he thinks Wukong really dies he gets MAD. Because he knows now there is no chance, they are really going to DIE and he is upset.

I still think that Bajie just wanted to get back at Wukong for making fun of him in when GuanYin strung him up to a tree after the Ginseng Fruit arc. But he really didn't know what the fillet implies as he has never seen it used until then. It doesn't make it right but I do think it explains himself a bit more.

And even when Bajie went back to get Wukong, Wukong gave him a tour of his mountain AND STILL pulled a fast on him by having him think he wasn't coming when he was right behind Bajie the whole time. He just wanted Bajie to sweat a little longer. But there was something about Wukong having Bajie see how whole home and what he is leaving but also that Bajie really enjoyed seeing where he lived… even if the Little Suns threw Bajie around like a sake of flour weighing nothing… BUT HE STILL HAD A NICE TIME.

Bajie seems to have a lot of faith in his brothers, even if he rather run away and avoid a fight altogether because he is a bit of a coward he is more often overconfident on taking on demons with his group.

But when he thinks Wukong might actually die after they think they lost Sanzang to a demon he tells him he can't else they will have too much to grieve. And how he only feels confident in battle when he knows Wukong is behind him. I do love it when Bajie and Wujing look on in awe at Wukong and his power he thinks they might be gossiping about him and gets suspicious, leading to another prank.

And I feel like he gets that kind of confidence only later throughout the series, where he actually stops trying to divide the luggage when things go bad and tries to see to the end of the journey to get the scriptures. He is still a lazy guy that rather sleep and eat all day but he gets a bit better along the way, participating with his party in the journey and starting to see the goal to attain the scriptures as something he also wants to and actually trying harder to prove that to himself. It takes him a lot longer than Wukong and even Wujing but I think he really comes around to being a team player.

This kinda turned into a Bajie apologist post but I just really love this pig. He is a lazy asshole that starts shit he needs a good slice of humble pie because he cares a lot

WIP Wednesday! Some more Wei Wuxian POV from the third dynasty extra (because that's what I'm writing the most currently xD)

--

Wei Wuxian sighs. The head cook is an obvious lead — one has to wonder why no one thought to interrogate him before dragging Wang Lingjiao to a cell. The rot in the Wen Sect goes deep; they have only barely started scratching the surface. Gao Yan may be a good man of course. But Wei Wuxian knows that even good men commit mistakes or that sometimes, not so good men wil do good deeds, as a way to relieve their conscience.

He also knows that sometimes, the worst evil is the one who is sure he is in the right.

Chapter 19

@journeythroughjourneytothewest

Can't believe Bajie just HAPPENED upon a true immortal to get him to heaven, like I wanna know how THAT backstory came about

Immediately thought is how in the HIB Video Game they give Bajie a pirate accent and say he commanded a crew I thought that was just flavor for the game, so forget he was a marshall of sailors deadass

HE IS A WATER GOD APPARENTLY AS WELL SO HE BEST KNOWS HOW TO SWIM

Just like Erlang Shen damn there are so many water gods deadass

I know Wukong teasing but also I got a point, like deadass the only reason Gao doesn't want Bajie is for his looks and reputation What a shallow fella

Wukong playing marriage counselor once again

Bajie: MY DOOR Wukong: Did you woo your wife? Wine? Gifts? You didn't even go to the matchmaker therefore a crime for a crime

I imagine this going like a Looney Tunes cartoon

Low key

Man was REFINED into metal damn. Wukong being just a stone egg

WUKONG NOT THE EAR

Metal (Wukong's element) is the naturally superior opposition to Wood (Bajie's element), as it symbolizes how metal can cut trees and foliage down. Mind always overcomes the desires to put them in place Both are meant to make the trip to the West and as such grow as people

Sun Wukong = Monkey Awakened to Nothing Zhu Bajie = Pig Awakened to Power

These are some boss ass names

Got to admit Bajie is a way better nickname than Idiot

I heard it once said that Wukong just thought his name was Idiot and that is why he called him that for so long

And when he did find it he now just said it as his new nickname

Wukong really said: Marriage was nice but you're divorced and single now SO LET'S EAT

I do appreciate that Sanzang doesn't force his own preferences on Wukong and Bajie, as long as they don't get hammered they can have purified wine

Also Wukong a lightweight confirmed

WUKONG IS SO MEAN

Can't believe Sanzang got a damage buff

+5 on heals, +0 on stealth

He really is out here target on his back

Wukong embodies the "Talk shit, get hit" even when some guy talks shit about Bajie Wukong: Only I GET TO TALK SHIT ABOUT BAJIE! A good way to start their first month together

Also, the idea of Sanzang trying to hold back Wukong who is far stronger than him is so funny to me. Probs picked him up cause he was so little

He is the only thing holding this monkey back for the next 14 years XD
