okay hello im sure people have thought about this a lot (esp w/what we got in season 5 w/monkey king reliving his worst memory thru the 9 headed demon) but like what do you think monkey king thought when he saw macaque again for the first time. his ex bestfriend (and lover cough cough) who he KILLED and permanently scarred. we already know it haunts him, but i imagine he spent however many hundreds of years trying to get over the fact that he killed and betrayed someone who he cared about so much, obviously could never really get over it, and then mac pulls up for revenge and all of these emotions come flooding back. he had at least one ☝️ panic attack when he saw him brother. hes really good at keeping his cool but i imagine inside his blood ran COLD.

remembering how he had killed him, and that he just had to walk away afterwards. it was done. he couldnt take it back. he really killed him. and he had to walk away and live with it. lowkey i hc that the final blow was a lot more...sad than we're shown in the show. like monkey king was this entirely new person. and i honest to god think that when him and macaque were fighting macaque didnt think he would kill him. and what an intense betrayal when he would figure out what the battle was leading to. a lot of macaque crying. lets. say.

and thats what really sticks out ta me about these two characters honestly. monkey king always pushes things too far and does something he regrets and mac is the ULTIMATE showing of that. and the ULTIMATE culmination of his past that he has to forgive himself for. and the fact that mac is now ALIVE and here in the present means that he can finally put this part of him ta rest and make amends
