#It also makes me Feel better about how LMK mischaracterizes a lot of the JTTW characters

[passions-and-pupils]

amnesia rules is so much funnier if you think of it as Sun Wukong’s reaction to one of his brothers calling him a manipulative jerk and asking him him to be more enthusiastic.

Like, imagine the whole episode he was just doing an elaborate bit that Tang and Pigsy didn’t get because they didn’t know how Sun Wukong normally acted.

some moments that stick out with this context

Wukong shaking his master saying “you have to remember!” After getting the smallest hint he might not

His true self comes out when pigsy suggests bonking him on the head “what’d you say Piglet”

him spending all night talking to the Sage after finding out where his master is (it’s almost like he was trying to take as long as possible)

Him nonchalantly eating while the demon monologues, clearly not actually scared for his masters safety.

“Eating me won’t make you immortal,” “of course it will! He’s the great monk Tang Sanzang!” Again it’s like he WANTS his master to be eaten, or at least ruffed up a bit (depends on when in the journey he is)

He only attacks the Scorpion Queen after his staff is broken

“We’re friends?” “Of course we are! Everyone needs friends! Can you imagine what I’d be like without friends? I’d probably turn into a real manipulative jerk or something,” it’s like he’s quoting someone
