#Living Samadhi AU

Nezha! What is happening?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nezha: The Samadhi Fire…

[rebeltigera]

@kimidoriii

as much as i want to talk much about Nezha- There's not much about him in the au itself . The only worthy mention that i have actually planned is his shock for seeing six eared macaque again which he thought- was long gone.

Of course he later helps with sealing Jade's emperors power etc but it's the only thing what was changed - this is in fact bit of a headcanon of mine - In LMK Nezha was surprised to say at least when he saw first time Mac during the Samadhi fire arc ,Like he wasn't aware this man was among the living and it stuck with me.

How They decived the Heavens people may ask later? Well , magic tornado works like wards against celestial eyes :'D

About the traffic trio- I will draw some interactions one day but today is not the day yet

REINCARNATED AU!

ft. Lord Crimson & Rai || Carmine & Ren *WIPs

𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙚:

Lord Crimson

In his teenage years, the damage of the samadhi fire slowly burned Lord Crimson in the inside of his organs. Without the knowledge of Red Girl nor PIF, he succumbed to his end. But this time, he refused LBD's offer. For the sake of a peaceful death, he let himself rest. Until, after centuries passed, he was born into a new family. With a new name and a new lifestyle. Carmine was his name. And now, he worked under Pigsy's to fix MK's (always) broken Tuk-Tuk. Would he remember his past? Never.

Rai

During his rebellion against the Jade Emperor, the lotus dragon never came back. Now, reborn as a mortal, Ren was content living his life oblivious to his former life. Being a police officer and overlooking the repairs of Megapolis City. Would he remember his past? Maybe. But he prefers not to.

Note: Just shenanigans I did in Discord cuz my mind ain't letting me rest of obsessing over them...

What do you think suklha and Wukong kid would look like if they did have one ? 🤔 …..Celestial realm one fear after hearing those two are courting each other ��

Theres 2 reasons, i believe they would have a child.

1. Yandere! Wukong AU.

2. It was an accident. A GENUINE accident

_____

CW : mentions of abortion, body dysphoria, weird descriptions of pregnancy, Im trying to write it as how Suklha would view it as so it might be uncomfortable, Pregnant Monkey Suklha Doodles?

Lets say its the Latter, should Suklha accidentally drank the water of fertility and somehow had sex with Wukong. She will try to abort the child, out of respect for their life, not out of disgust. Its a child thats created by a creature from within and outside of this universe, to bear one means to conceive a natural disaster. A sort of Red boy and his samadhi fire. But this time, it can sever through time and erase everything from History, a true personification of the end of death and end of life.

Even as Wukong tried to fight the logical side of Suklha, she would insist on not keeping the child. Preferring to care for the mountain cubs than creating such a trigger. "out of the safety for this wretched world" she would claim, but also a part of her is afraid of what outcome, what probability should come once she does give birth.

It is definitely something the Celestials wouldn't want happening. They'll stop at nothing to try and destroy a pregnant Suklha, in which case is also in monkey form. To ensure the child won't be an amalgamation of anthropod and mammal, a combination of two completely different animal kingdoms that shouldn't exist.

Throughout the pregnancy, Suklha would try to lay low with the cubs following her around, and a couple of Wukong's clones being at her beck and call. One would walk beside her, and the other stayed hidden, out of plain sight. Should Wukong have other businesses to attend to. Wearing long and loose garments to walk around the estate, Suklha tries to hide the wretching feeling of carrying something inside of her. She's already dealt with her identity crisis, and now the thought of something living and itching inside is giving her nausea at every second. The pregnancy won't last much, as the combination of her pure Centipede features and current Monkey form will take around 4-6 months.

Should the child come, it would be the day all hell broke loose. With the underworld using its knowledge on destroying Suklha's vessel, to the Celestials who would try and take the child away, only to keep it in a capsule buried deep within the earth's core. As they have planned, use anything in their arsenal to destroy whatever hope the Monkey king and the messenger have. In this time, Suklha checked the probability and successfully ran to one of the dragons that she kept in touch with. A plan that the celestials wouldn't figure out, to be an opposite of how you usually am. A dragon of the South, A Lady of the red who runs a small village as their protector.

Suklha would soon give birth in the village, particularly in one of the Lady Dragon's estate. While Wukong would try to fight off the several armies, theres a few fake clones of Suklha around Flower Fruit mountain hiding to act as a decoy. The laboring process is enough to shake the heavens. there's a slight tear in the fabric of the universe at each scream, small cracks forming around Suklha as she continues to push out the child inside of her.

Even as the days go by, with the child growing as a cub. Suklha will continue to rest, its important in chinese tradition for the newly mothers to be confined within their bed for 30 days. Such will Suklha forego, resting to heal her own vessel and the corruption of energy she split in order to create the child. While Wukong and the red lady went and care for the cub.

I haven't thought much about the child, i think she'll be someone who is spiteful and energetic (as she should, her parents basically are. It should be a genetic trait atp) but still friendly and cheerful, a glance of her attitude, and you'd never expect she'll scream and curse like a sailor with a cheeky face.

Connsidering both of her own parents are revered gods and beings, she would be bold enough to not get intimidated by mere threats. Prone to lashing out violently, should things "isn't logical at all!!"Despite her bold and strong-willed attitude, she's smart enough to understand the things her mom would give. A small advice and she'll see it how her mom would do it.

A contradiction is what she is. Appear cold and withdrawn when you see her around, yet quickly changes once she warms up to you. Showing a more childlike and jovial side. Someone who shines like the sun under daylight, a being unlike any other beneath the moonlight.

A child who has both the ability of Sun Wukong and Suklha, a mix of Trickery and Knowledge. A child of Sorcery, eager to spread knowledge through the world, she is the reason why humanity is hell bent on discovery the maddness within the void. The truth behind the lies, since her birth humanity has been deriven to madness and delusions far more often than it should.

Little tidbit of how Ao Lie is back in Cursed AU

Once season 3 ends Wukong proposes to recreate the ritual to seal the Samadhi Fire away. Pigsy was against it because it was clearly dangerous, but Mei was totally on board with it because she knew that even with Red's training, she wouldn't be able to fully control the fire.

They perform the ritual with Nezha, Red Son and a reluctant Tang and everything goes scoring to plan until the fire seemingly takes a life of its own and instead of forming into the four rings, they focus on one spot before it starts to change into a more concrete shape.

Everyone watched stunned as the mass of blinding purple, red, blue and green fire turned into a dragon. The color subsides until Ao Lie is clearly visible. Wukong couldn't believe his eyes as he ran to his old friend, hugging him tightly. The dragon hugged him back, his form turning into his more human one.

The monkey looked up when Ao Lie called his name but instead of being met with kind words, he was shaken by his shoulders as the dragon yelled at him. Turns out that AO Lie's spirit had been watching over his great granddaughter, living with her the same events and witnessing his brother's stupidity and self destructive behavior.

The rest of the team watched on confused as the two ancient beings argued until MK managed to break them off. Ao Lie calms rather quickly before explaining that he now holds the Samadhi Fire, his literal body is made of it and they don't have to worry about it going rampant anymore.

[kristea9ay]

YIPPPEEEE! A NEW UPDATE! YOU ARE GIVING ME SO MUCH DOPAMINE!

You said you didn't mind questions or thoughts, so... hope you really meant it:

First and foremost... I am THRIVING off of your Celestial Family(?) AU, I love family dynamics so much, and for Macaque to be the overly protective one fits so well. How I see it, Macaque wants to be in ARMS reach of his child and nowhere farther. It's not about seeing him. It's about being able to get to him - and otherwise save him - from any threats with how potent his energy is.

But how's Wukong? Is he more leanent? Does he want to train him himself? (Obviously, Wukong is still protective but still)

Though it might be a bit too early for training, depending on how old Xiaotian is. Actually, yeah, how old is he during this ark?

It's understandable that Xiaotian is a little frustrated at their protectiveness, but it speaks wonders how he does still comply, worrying that something else is going on. I hope he tries to bring it up to his parents because their are so many ways that would play out, being telling the truth, an argument, a brush off, a break down- no matter how it would go it would be fantastic.

I also love how the Brotherhood is still close, despite everything, and I wonder how much progress they've made, as they succeeded on the first attack on Heaven (or a second one cause Mei is alive, but screw timeline stuff) so he might be weaker, unable to help the world like he wanted to because of the strength needed.

Basically, that's what I think is happening, Azure is losing strength to keep the whole world together. AND based on the Lore Notes, Xiaotian will be the one to fix that. Azure is having a net loss of energy as he's not strong enough to hold the power of the emperor and is slowly turning to stone or might actually just start cracking and die how he did in the show.

The state of Heven itself is fascinating to me, like, what about Nezah?! Or his father?! I assume neither would be in any sort of power because... Azure.

With that being said, has the dynamic changed in the Brotherhood, even if they are all close, with Azure being the emperor, Macaque and Wukong being together, DBK being the husband of a Celestial, and Peng's whole dislike to Macaque (who hasn't shown up yet hmmmmmmm), Yellow Tusk's hesitancy in the show for Azure being emperor, things are bound to have changed at least a little.

Speaking of DBK, It seems like Redson might still have the Samadhi Fire just with the same thing they did to Xiaotian cause JTTW people didn't get Wukong on their side, but they were there to potentially help him I suppose. Anyway- Mai might not have a ring inside her, yaaaay!

Oh, and speaking of Mai, how did she and Xiaotian even meet? Redson and Xiaotian probably met cause their parents are friends, but Mai doesn't live on FFM, at least in the show.

Oh jeez, what about the Lady Bone Demon?! She wouldn't have to revive Macaque, so he wouldn't be her pawn necessarily, but in the need of power or energy for Azure, DBK could go and free her - that would be fun.

ANYWAY- Thank you for giving me an unhealthy amount of dopamine and a gourmet meal with this delicious art\story. Don't worry about the infrequent posting or even the quality of writing. The determination to make a good story seems to do wonders for many people. Know you'll have at least one fan reading no matter how the AU goes <3.

Okay byeeeeee~

Oh my goooosh 😭💕 ok first of all THANK YOU SO MUCH

This message filled me with so much joy that I literally had to call my sister and tell her about it XD

It genuinely makes me feel so happy when I see people enjoy what I make and to see how much you analyze and wonder how things work in this AU just-jdjdkdkskjee

It makes me so happy 😭

I will explain a few things, because I don't think I'll get into much detail about some things in the comic.

1. Yes, Wukong is still very protective, but he has a different coping mechanism. I wanted make him more closed off, because even in the OG series, he keeps to himself and tries to hide whatever is wrong (example: when he went on a "vacation" when he found out about LBD)

2. MK is training with Red under the guidance of Nezha, but it's more about the energy training and focus. But he does train with them some basic fighting

3. CELESTIAL REALM. OOOH boy I sure did change this one a lot. Ok so in this AU, Mac actually is successful in convincing the brotherhood to NOT attack the celestial realm and take down the Emperor.

In the OG, as far as I understand, they were unhappy with The Emperor because he didn't care about the unjuctice and didn't want to help those in need.

So Macaque convinced them not to try and take down the Emperor, but you instead try and help those in need as much as they can themselves. By this time, Mac and Wukong are already together.

DBK and PIF met in this AU because Nezha and her were sent to check in the brotherhood from time to time (Nezha and PIF are siblings in this AU)

So then Xiaotian, Red Son and Mei are born around the same time (not exactly in the same day but yk) and heaven has a BIG problem with that. They are scared, because these children are a mix of one of the most powerful beings AND their being raised by the brotherhood, their enemy. So they proclaim, that they will either give their children up and let heaven raise them (and own them) or there will be war. And ofc, there was war and the Brotherhood won and Azure became the new Emperor.

Nezha is still their friend and ally, because he did not agree with heaven and ultimately decided to side with the brotherhood. He also guarded the children and made sure they were safe when the fight began, that's one of the main reasons why he is their God-father to all 3 of them.

3. And about Mei, her father in this AU is Ao Lie and he and the rest of the pilgrims and Tripitaka ARE the brotherhood friends.

The JTTW happened, but very differently. Wukong wasn't really a part of the group, but they did come across Wukong and the Brotherhood. Tripitaka helped with the ceremony to help RedSon contain the Samadhi fire, which is how he earned their trust. He and the Pilgrims also helped them during the war against heaven.

I hope this explains some things ^^ feel free to ask if yall have any more questions or want to clarify something. If I can answer it without spoiling the comic, I will 100% answer 🫶

[quitealotofsodapop]

Jiuweihuli only told Yin and Jin to watch Macaque, they never said anything about not pranking him. And if doing so helps to distract and slow Macaque down a bit and buy Wukong more time... well, that's just a side benefit isn't it??

referencing.

Absolutely

Jin and Yin are *still* super mad at their sorta-adoptive-sibling for leaving Wukong alone all those years ago. and now he's working for the bleedin' BONE DEMON!?

Their mum gives them the go-ahead to make Macaque's mission a living (non-fatal) hell.

Their cousin Bo, the accountant, joins in to make sure they don't get sidetracked.

Macaque does not have a moment of peace while tracking the gang in S3.

The three demons are on him like Bugs Bunny - setting up fake roadstops, stealing the compass LBD gave him, sabotaging the fake TEA van before half the gang gets in. The Eastern Dragon kingdom even gets unlikely assistance in the form of three metal demons coming to their aid - by annoying the shit out of Macaque.

The fireworks in Lantern City? they are most certainly not an accident in the Slow Boiled Au - they see Macaque up in the Latern with Tang and set them off before he can grab the important ring-thingy.

They aren't sure what the Rings of Samadhi *are*. But they all know that the Bone Demon getting them will be bad news for everyone. So if their tormenting of Macaque keeps the rings away from LBD, it's a small bonus.

Its only when things get to a bad point do they drop the pranking. Bo leaves to alert Lao Tzu and Guanyin immediately when Wukong goes to confront LBD himself. Jin and Yin join Macaque in tying up the Mayor.

And when Yuebei decides to make it into the world finally?

the twin demons are *panicking*! they need to call their mum and let her know that her grandkit is coming!

They're so amazed by the little stone egg, and later tiny baby, so much that they nearly give her their prized artifacts as gifts. Wukong refuses to let his newborn own the Calabash thankfully.

[britt-kageryuu]

I've read a number of "It's a show/Actor" AU, and while I haven't found one for LMK just yet~

I have at least an outline for one. Just not fully sure how to explain everything. Though it mixes with a Reality Show idea I had.

The basis is that LMK is ofcourse a Show, but most of the Actors are the real People.

MK is a new Celestial Monkey in training under Monkey King and Macaque, living with his adopted parents Piggsy and Tang. (Reincarnation was a coincidence.) Close friends with Mei and Red Son. (Possible romance cut by Executives)

How their lives turned into a show, well it might be a really big PR stunt to help cover what happened in Season 4/5, but that might be a bit of a reach for a reason.

It was more of a hassle to get the other Demons/Celestials to participate, like trying to get Nezha to join the show was almost just a 'don't tell him, just film his reactions', but was shot down when they incorporated the Samadhi Rings/Fire.

Though to some the hardest parts were keeping to the script as close as they could, because 'Executive Interference' didn't want some things in the show. And not everyone liked the things they had to cut from the show, let alone what else was changed. (Like romance!)

Have fun with this, and let me know your thoughts if you want.

[starsfic]

Jadepeach AU where Ao Lie doesn't get hit with the Samadhi fire and, in the present, he and Wukong are an old married couple, teaming up to train both Qi Xiaotian and Long Xiaojiao.

The family knows that he's still alive, but Xiaojiao always heard that he was "travelling" not living with his life partner/her possible ancestor (it's confusing). But the main thing I was thinking was Macaque's reaction to learning about Jadepeach being married and together and him throwing an absolute Hissy Fit.

Macaque had a chance to repair things after his and Wukong's fight under the mountain. And Wukong, affected by Sanzang and Ao Lie and the other pilgrims, did try. But Macaque, at that point, was too angry and bitter and possessive to allow it.Now he's seeing the consequences, watching Wukong kiss his prince, not under *their* tree which is a mercy, but still eating peaches under the sun.

Macaque making it a personal point to try and put poison in Xiaotian's ear when he trains him. After all, what does Ao Lie do, really?

He shows Xiaojiao how to use her water powers, yes, but other than that?

He's lazy. He's spoiled, pampered. Wukong will actually spar with him when he's not being lazy. What does Ao Lie do?

Wukong: "Hey, rude! Ao Lie keeps me from doing stupid things!"

Ao Lie: "By doing stupider things!"

[digitaldoeslmk]

more LBD shenanigans

S2 season finale, except not

LBD tries to trap him in a pagoda, everyone joins the fray, MK escapes because Macaque underestimates him, Wukong gets kebabed, Megapolis is lost and the gang flees for their lives

ACT 3, PILGRIM: about half a year, S3 in spirit but almost every plot gets scrapped cus its just filler anyway

they aren't on a ""journey to the west"", they are gathering allies and tools to use against LBD and Macaque

plan is, burn the motherfuckers with the Samadhi fire with the help of the four dragon king's armies to spread the fire with rain, and use some artifacts to then control the fire and put it out

drastic measure but it do be drastic times

LBD used the skeleton key to open the gates of the Diyu, so the world is slowly getting overrun by runaway spirits, as well as channeling the waters from it to freeze the land

apparently Macaque wants to consume every living thing he's trapped to fuel something, and nobody is sure what

anyway it's crisis politics time, nobody is having fun, everything sucks

time to check in with the past pilgrims for advice and some tricks they know, Monkie gang power up time

the dragon king of the north and his family are missing, time to find them

Shen Gongbao intro, he's involved but they figure it out

it's also time to draft some immortals, we love owing favors to people in this house amiright??

Mayor starts to think the henchman career isn't for him, time to dip

he fucks a plan cus he uses a pill of immortality to heal himself but oops the gang needed that

Mayor spills the beans on Macaque's plan, MK gets impulsive and runs off to face LBD

S3 special time except not

MK exchanges himself for the girl LBD got possessed, which builds the group time to wrap up lose ends

final battle time, hoards of the underworld versus whatever immortals got convinced to help despite going against the Jade Emperor's decree

MK sends a clone with his staff before he loses control back to the gang

Mei in dragon form fighting possessed MK, so that Red Son and Nezha can take a shot at MK to exorcise LBD out of him, Erlang and Muzha helping to hold Macaque back

MK gets shot with the Samadhi Fire, to explosive results

MK vs Macaque kaiju monkey battle time

Macaque gets nuked, LBD gets carbonized, Mayor dies saving people from the city before the fires get to them

everything is put back where it belongs, but there's a lot of loose ends to wrap up, ends in a bittersweet note

ACT 4, IMMORTAL: two years, S4 solely in name, basically a full overhaul lmao

oh man oh man shits gonna hit the fan lmao

the city is saved and the bad guys are gone; time for Consequences

Jade Emperor isnt very happy with the amount of unauthorized actions taken just now

MK goes to fucking trial for the crime of saving the world, it goes as well as one would think

luckily Guanyin comes in clutch and gets his sentence lightened to "community service"

there is an absurd amount of undead still walking around, which means MK has to get on that

also yknow. the devastating amount of damage in the mortal AND celestial realm

MK is given an assignment in the heavenly bureocracy, to help keep him in check and accountable to stuff. is great innit.

another part of his job is, dealing with Wukong's past sworn brotherhood cus they've been uppity since Macaque's attack and threatening to break the human-demon truce

Qi "two dads nuclear family" Xiaotian learns to deal with distant extended family relations with very specific social cues. again, goes as well as expected

under all that, Red Son still hasn't been able to get the missing memories situation fixed

also turns out even Wukong doesn't remember who MK was but he used to know. he doesn't anymore. and he doesn't know what happened. Red Son did not like learning that.

the celebration of Ulhambana in the Celestial Realm is approaching, and Red Son thinks he can get himself and MK invited to it so they can yknow, ask Buddha wtf is going on

so yknow, time to earn the trust of the Celestial Realm again, in a year. that's doable right? ahahah

and because he doesn't have enough on his plate, MK traded off a lot of his merits in exchange for LBD and Mayor speedrunning their time in hell so they can be reborn under his care

MK becomes An Uncle, what could possibly go wrong!

oh, jumpscare, Macaque is still around but Different

[mythicalmagical-monkeyman]

Heyo, it'sa me!

I was thinking about your lmk/ninjago au and I was wondering. How does Season 5: Possession work in this au? Does it happen, if so, who to? and by who?

(((Love this au btw)))

*dies in happy* ty 🥰

fair warning we have really vague plot points and plans and stuff for all the seasons so we only know how the pilot goes down start to finish, thus most of this I came up with this after think about it for an hour

so I am happy with it but it could be changed ig if I think of something better

and, anyway, for the answer I’ll include a light spoilers warning (tho it’s kind of easy to figure out)

but the green ninja/Lloyd in the Ninjago au is

surprise! Mei ! As for Morro his roll has been taken by the one and only Nezha

So Mei is possessed by Nezha, but why? well once upon Nezha was once a Warrior just like the rest of the group only he was a lot younger, and I don’t want to sugar cost or anything so I’ll just out right say that he was a child solider and it did not turn out well for him. Additional Mei is also a child solider, older than Nezha of course but she can still be called that as she was chosen/confirmed as the green ninja at around the age of 13/14

Nezha of course isn’t happy with this at all. He already had to suffer as a child solider and seeing Mei be one too rightfully pisses him off when he ends up getting out of the Underworld so he possesses Mei with a plan

said plan of his is: find the proper tools to rid Mei of the samadhi fire in hopes that ridding Mei of the flame will turn Mei into a normal, un-powered teen that doesn’t need to live the life of a child solider

And sure it seems like a good plan, especially since his heart seems to be in the right place except for the fact that trying to free Mei from the flame could risk destroying Mei and the world due to how volatile the fire is and how connected it is to Mei and her soul hence why the Warriors have to stop Nezha before he can go through with his plan

but yeah that’s what I have :D

[rebeltigera]

Now I'm curious on how sl! Macaque acts with everyone while drunk

What's Mei and MK's relationship with the bull family (and cheng'e) in this au? (Also had you talked about MK and Macaque relationship in this au?? Like what are their thoughts on each other?)

-ghost anon

-ghost anon

He's literally acting like a baby and if u are in positive relation with him he would wanna hug u

If u are in negative, u gonna get dropped into shadow portal to unknown destination

Mei n MK are in decent relation with bull family, due to being "friends" with Redson ( he'll never admit that)

Also because Mei is a host of Samadhi fire , and Redson still train her.

They doesn't got much interactions with Chang'e (Redson sometimes call her , it's his auntie and likes to talk with her about new recipes )

The relationship between Mac and MK is a bit rocky at the start but it gets better with time.

Mac rather quickly warmed up to MK ( didn't show it however) , and MK well got curious about another mystic monkey which got beef with monkey king and well , lived , defeated him , pushed into a corner and isn't actively hunting him nor MK

We will forget for a second he took his powers away-

[ads20221]

A Swap Au, or Exchange of Roles (if you prefer to your liking)

(Almost forgot, they switch powers too, And for weapons too, Sun Wukong would have the magic lantern while Macaque would have the staff)

(If you have questions, I'll try to answer them about this Au)

I literally made up a story about it, the only difference in it is that Sun Wukong (who is exchanged for Macaque) was killed by Macaque (exchanged for Monkey King) and the only difference is that Sun Wukong is afraid of Macaque, then from being knocked down by his Ex-Best Friend, after being revived by Lord Bone Demon(The Mayor will play the role of LBD) after being revived and Lord Bone Demon giving him the master key he threw away (as macaque does in the original) and lived his life, with the trauma of being killed by Macaque, Sun Wukong became afraid to a point of whether he sees Macaque and the same see he runs away

In this first scene where Tang says that Samadhi Fire was the only way to stop Lord Bone Demon, Sun Wukong himself says: I think it's better, at least I'm going to be away from him and Macaque, to be honest I never wanted to be in that.. .(Afraid of the Macaque)

and in the second scene (Episode: The King, The Prince and the Shadow) Sun Wukong is quite desperate to get out of the situation even more to take the power of Lord Bone Demon(Not even caring that he is afraid of Macaque, he just wants to get out of it)

[real-sun-wukong-fan01]

Hello! I hope your month has treated you well so far. In your Time Swap AU, what do you mean by SWK having a medical degree? Did he went to a medical college some time ago? What branch was it? Does he ever use it to win arguments? Does he know the doctor handwriting cypher? Has anyone ever pointed out the hypocrisy of him having a poor self care and diet but also having a medical degree? What does he use it for and apply it on? Can you tell me more on what is MK's deal with Erlang in the AU? What relationship do they have? What was Tang like as a monk on this AU?

Eat your meals regularly with fruits and vegetables!

Hello!!!

- it's a reference to the book as wukong has a medical degree there as well!

- yeah, he self taught himself coding later on.

- of the branch, I do not know, I didn't thought this much into it.

- he..yeah. he would start speaking in big words, he's a nerd anyway.

- yeah. Considering his own handwriting sucks ass.

- yeah. Mk. Everyone did. Does he listen? No.

- he uses it mainly for the hero stuff, for himself, others and poor civilians, but never for a job or anything, he makes games for a living!!

- well, kind of like wukong and nezha? Of course both have a different dynamic, but pretty much the same in lmk!! Erlang trying to stop mk from taking the samadhi fire rings! They do have some kind of sibling dynamic but not as much as nezha and wukong in the original.

- tang was a cowardly but very smart and forgiving monk, hardly getting mad but he knew how to hold his ground despite him being scared of anything, even a leaf could make him jump. He was like a father for mk.

:))

[halfdeadhalfpaniced]

If you're still trying to think of something for Mei for the Fairy tale au, I recently found something out that could maybe work; in Russian folklore there is a stock character called Vasilisa, who's mostly known for her own tale, Vasilisa the Beautiful, but I've recently found out about other Vasilisa tales with details that could maybe work for something for a Mei in this au based around that kind of archetype, kinda like how Sandy is based on a princess archetype; 1. In her most famous tale, Vasilisa the Beautiful, Vasilisa is sent to get fire from Baba Yaga, and Mei eventually becomes the wielder of the Samadhi Fire, 2. in Vasilisa the Priest's daughter, we see a tomboy Vasilisa who wears men's clothes and rides horses. This is pretty much just because Mei herself is a tomboy, 3. in The Sea King and Vasilisa the Wise, Vasilisa is the daughter of the sea king, and Mei is the descendant of royal dragons who live under the sea.

Anon I could kiss you! This is genuinely perfect thank you so much. So sorry I haven’t been posting stuff for this I promise it’s not dead I just have a nasty habit of slowing down on projects if It feels like people don’t really care about it and my brain really likes to make me feel like that’s true even when it’s not. Self loathing at its finest. But yes this is 100% going to be used!

LMK x Promare

Aight, been cooking this one up in my noggin' for a while and I'm honestly so surprised I haven't seen this yet??? But guys is a promare au not perfect for the traffic like trio???

Like we have Red Son, a burnish, part of group similar to the Mad Burnish. MK as a human in a group like Burning Rescue. And lastly the coolest part, Mei, starting out as a regular human and then her burnish flames manifesting and Red Son has to teach her how to control them. You know she's a quick learner tho and she masters them beautifully. They even have a mech and save the world together just like Lio and Galo!

The VIBE of Mei being a Mad Burnish btw?? Amazing, she'd fit right in with all their cool ass armor.

The Promare soundtrack works so well for them too aaaaaa. Just a quick vibe check:

Inferno - MK vibes baby, trails of fire leading him home 🥺, loving adventure and just full of tons of energy ready to go!

Ashes - Does this not make y'all think of Mei right when she gets the samadhi fire??? AAAA I love it. The "uncertain flame of hope" being maybe Red Son?

NEXUS - Absolutely a dragonfruit song. The, "So spend some time with me, I really like your company. We're not so different, flip the coin it doesn't matter. And if we don't survive, I'd rather die than live a lie." AOUGH good.

Gallant Ones - The trio all working together!!! That scene in season 3 when they're all in the mech together battling LBD, PERFECT FIT.
