#LMK Six-Eared Macaque

[foxgonyoom]

Ok I have a theory about how Macaque and Wukong's friendship-crumble went down and I wanna get it out before the S4 special airs in case it reveals what happened.

I'm not entirely sure on the specific details, but I think I have pretty good theory of what happened in general.

Alright so

Azure Lion: "However, fate had one more cruel twist for us."

Azure Lion: "Sun Wukong now yielded to an agent of the Celestial Host, another warrior for the oppressors."

(Episode 8 of Season 4, The Brotherhood)

I think the start of the betrayal happened when Wukong was discovered to have "yielded" to the Celestial Realm. (I say yielded in air quotes cause I'm not entirely sure how that whole situation came about, only that the Brotherhood interpreted it as a betrayal).

Peng: "Wukong is a traitor, he'll end us the first chance he gets!"

Macaque: "I just think we should consider other options-"

(Episode 5 of Season 4, Court of the Yellow Robed Demon)

As shown in Episode 5 of Season 4, the Brotherhood were quick to believe that Wukong had betrayed them, and would dispose of them as soon as possible, so they wanted to strike him down first before he could get the chance to do so to them. Macaque, however, seemed to be hesitant. Whether this was him still having some faith in Wukong or him not wanting to get smashed into dust by Wukong or some weird mixture of the two I'm not sure, but there is one thing I'm sure of:

Azure Lion: "My former brother was sent to destroy us and all we had built. It was with their combined power that we were cut down, imprisoned within the scroll, left to the mercy of the Celestial Court."

(Episode 8 of Season 4, The Brotherhood)

Macaque was not present when the Brotherhood fought the Pilgrims. Meaning he'd left the Brotherhood of his own volition.

(As for the betrayal with the Brotherhood, I think the Brotherhood actually did the betraying here. Recall how Tang overheard their plan to trap Monkey King in the scroll? That was before they themselves had been sealed in it. My guess is that they tried to enact their plan, but it failed, and they ended up sealed in the scroll instead.)

But anyway, back to Macaque.

My guess is that he heard about the Brotherhood being sealed in the scroll later on, or perhaps even witnessed a part of the debacle himself (spectating from the shadows of course), and couldn't believe that Wukong would actually do that to his sworn brothers.

So he went to go spy on Wukong and the Pilgrims.

And he'd see them being good friends.

And he'd get really mad.

These were the people that Wukong had betrayed his sworn brothers for? Did he replace his sworn brothers? Did Wukong replace Macaque?

And basically emotions boil over and up and Macaque decides "I'm gonna fucking kill that human."

And so when Sanzang was alone, Macaque shapeshifted into Wukong and tried to kill the monk.

Only for Wukong to stop him.

And they fight.

(Episode 4 of Season 3, The Winning Side)

Eventually, Wukong strikes Macaque to the ground, and this moment occurs.

But notice how Macaque is facing away from Wukong?

He knows Wukong is behind him, but he can't actually see Wukong.

Furthermore, look at Macaque's scarred eye:

(Episode 9 of Season 1, Macaque)

That is not a wound that is left by being struck by a staff.

So what if the following occurred:

Macaque is laying on the ground, facing away from Wukong.

Wukong, instead of finishing him off, instead leaves, feeling betrayed because someone who was once his best friend had tried to kill his new friends, and had stolen his identity.

And knowing Wukong's speed, he's over the horizon before a single second can pass.

But Macaque still thinks that Wukong is behind him.

And as the shadow monkey picks himself up off the floor, he notices the shadow of something looming over him from behind.

Thinking it's Wukong, Macaque stares in confusion as the shadow raises it's staff, though one end of the weapon remains within the figure's shadow.

"Wukon-?"

A searing pain as he's stabbed through the head, the end of the weapon coming out of his right eye, though he can't quite see it. All he knows is that his once best friend had just killed him.

He dies, and the murderer pulls their now bloody spear out of his head.

I'll tell you about the sunrises if you promise to tell me about the stars.

[ID: The first drawing is Wukong sitting under a tree with his back to the camera, looking at the sun with a new moon in the corner. The words 'I'll tell you about the sunrises' are written in light orange under the moon.

The second drawing is Macaque sitting under the same tree with his back to the camera, looking at a comet in a starless night with a full moon in the corner. The words 'If you tell me about the stars' are written in purple above his head. End ID]

wip for the Macaque phone theme I forgot about because I hit a wall for ideas and moved onto other things

still at the wall for ideas but attempting to either climb over it or brute force my way through it

Anyways here’s the background, I actually replaced the original with this once because the original was a bit cluttered

the colors n general design for Macaque belong to @/sol0re

Not to be so normal on main, but this song is such a tragically perfect fit for the brotherhood. :')

Sun Wukong, Azure Lion, Demon Bull King, Six-Eared Macaque, Golden-Winged Peng, and Yellowtusk the Wise... This song hits so different when I listen to it with them in mind.

(Don't mind me, I'm just so sad about them all the time and these lyrics ruin me)

So I've gathered the courage to post this, it's just a small thing but I'm happy with it. Uber dramatic name and I might continue it at some point? Or use it as a jumping off point for something, idk.

*cleans the blood from hands* I warned you guys wouldn’t survive this (bc I didn’t either)

i’m just- tired of fights, I think these emotionally constipated bitches got to fight enough. It’s finally time for the Un-divorce Arc (Also glamour-less Wukong my beloved, I can give you all the scars I want)

these two gay ass monkeys have so much work to do. An apology wont fix everything but it surely is a start.

Have my fav sad OST to listen to while reading this.

[crabbys-stuff]

Dunno if this counts as a spoiler??

Was anybody going to tell me season 5 was already out or was I just supposed to find it out myself on tiktok 😩😩😩🙏✨️

[subwhizz]

Cuddling night 🌙 💤

[cubbyhole-for-flea-bee]

Macaque spent the whole season Big-Damn-Hero-ing and was NOT happy about it xD

[clumxy]

Happy lego monkie kid week, or whatever.

[pimthedestroyer]

I hope nobody else has done this yet 🙏

first meeting

[kyri45]

Macaque is theater kid right? I like to believe the shadow peach boi parents that if mk doesn't want to go sleep, Macaque put on a show and Mk falls sleep:3 -> I love my boi<3

[It would be funny if Macaque would kick wukong out the room and be like only theatre kids allowed to wukong but mk would be like noooo, let him in]

When no one is watching the TRUE Mamacaque comes out.

When I was imagining this whole Un-divorce Arc, THIS Song was the main sountrack for it. It would be pog if you can listen it while reading.

I also kind of in a way answered to this ask? But given the context I switched the position of characters.
