#Long Armed Gibbon

[arttrashking]

I neeeeeeeddddddd to know how these two heal after the divorce arc! do those "bigger cracks" in their relationship get patched up? does Macaque grow to better understand the political position Wukong was in (his reason for staying emperor)? do they learn how to communicate finally? what does their "happy ending" look like, a domestic life on FFM with many adopted kids? who gets pissed about the change of leadership, do they try and give the monkeys grief? is Wukong ever able to get more approval from his in-laws, considering leaving behind the throne (among many other gestures he gives Macaque to "repay" him) is a pretty big commitment?

(no pressure to reveal things, I just REALLY loooovveeee the Heavenly Emperor AU and am dying to know how the future goes for these silly little monkeys)

Giving Mac a chance to really become a person before he feels he can come back into something with Wukong and Wukong finally letting go of needing to protect and repay him is something I think they needed before they could settle and finally work on their life and family-

Yeah that’s the gist really- again it’s more a rp prompt for me 😅

Okay- so I thought of this-

Been too hype about monkeys so I had the thought of making the four celestial primates looking like the actual monkeys ✨

Hope you all like it cause to be honest I was struggling with..THE BABOON 👹👹 (I love them)

Hi! Do you know what happened to the movie that was supposed to feature all four of the Celestial Monkeys? Is it out yet? If so, where can I watch it? 🥺 Thank you

It is sadly NOT out yet! And it has been pushed back to 2028 -cries-

I can say with confidence that it has not been canceled as canceled projects do not get updated but here we see that it is just being pushed back again and again. So hopefully that means we might be able to see it in three years or less! But I would say try to look at Douban to see updates as they are pretty constant.

THE MONKEYS, I wanted to draw all four in my style! I know the baboon and the gibbon don’t have canon designs so I did my own!

Hi! I wanted to ask something.

Like, most of us knows there are 4 Spiritual Monkeys in the legend(book)... Do the Wukongs and theyr LEM's ever tought about looking for them? Cause mines did and It was chaos

Tongbi: Wait... why there are not other us, Chikao? *Sad precious sunshine noises*

Chikao: We are probably lucky in theyr universes to not having to ature theyr "bullduey"

*Wukong and Liu'er fighting in the most platonic way possible*

(If you are wandering who Tongbi and Chikao are, Chikao = Baboon and Tongi = Gibbon. And both are girls)

Love them and all the different versions people are coming up with! Bonus: the @journeytothewestresearch post about them!

I've been personally calling them "Babs" = Baboon (Chikao mahou, 赤尻馬猴) and "Gibs" = Gibbon (Tongbi yuanhou, 通臂猿猴) as a nickname! XD

My idea is that they are the older of the four *known* celestial primates, with the oldest celestial primate being the since-ascended Shen Monkey who raced for the Jade Emperor.

Tongbi/Gibs has a naturally stretchy body (think like Monkey D Luffy) and is very optimistic. Whilst, Chikao/Babs is more of a realist with the power of reading a person's thoughts/intentions (an interpretation I have for "Understands human affairs,").

My personal hc backstory for them is that;

Tongbi/Gibs was born/hatched along the Heavenly River, her species limbs stretching to allow them to climb, swim and dance between the clouds and astral waterways. She could be considered the "Fresh-Water Monkey" for this reason. Her egg had actually fallen to earth during the Great Flood when the fifth Heavenly Pillar broke, and was found by a tribe of proto-humans (of which Fuxi originated) that raised her as their own. She lived with them for many years before deciding to seek out others of her kind - where upon she met Chikao/Babs

Menawhile, Chikao/Babs was actually born into the Underworld amongst demonkind. Her fellow demons did not understand why she had hatched from a egg-shaped stone that sat undisturbed in the demon-capital city of Youdu for many millennia, but they accepted her as their colleague nonetheless. When Chikao/Babs came of age, she was trained to carry out the duties of a Psychopomp; to gather and bring deceased soul before Yama and the Ten Kings, the same duties as Ox-Head and Horse-Face. She could be considered the "Abyss Monkey" for her gloomy origin.

The two celestial monkeys meet by pure chance when Chikao/Babs herself nearly dies trying to collect the soul of a reluctant water demon. Tongbi/Gibs saved her, and it was love/fascination at first sight like Little Mermaid.

The two female monkeys are soulmates in a yin-yang like dynamic. One stern and aloof, the other silly and expressive. They began seeking out others of their kind almost immediately after meeting - failing until they found a certain little stone monkey being cared for by an old mentor.

I made a joke post a while back about these two finding little Sun Wukong early and raising him as their own, and now I can't stop thinking of it! The Netflix and Smash Legends SWKs are who I most imagine as having the two super-powered moms, but I could def see an AU of Lego SWK having moms. X3

Chikao and Tongbi def be cringing hard at how bad their son is fumbling expressing his feelings for Macaque, and for how bad Macaque is at confronting *his* feelings!

Gibbon time

So, Yuan is actually the tallest ape out of them all! THERE'S NO DENYING IT!!

Even Macaque being the tallest come to wukong and Duzhe, he cannot overtake YUAN THEMSELVES!! She's lanky and pretty chill. Wukong and Macaque had fun time with them, they never touched the floor and always stood on trees, she is not walking on the ground she's walking on top of the trees. Long Armed Gibbon rarely spent time in the floor so here ya go.

Also fun fact in Journey to the West Wukong idea for becoming immortal and going to Master Subodhi to gain immortality was from a Gibbon. So when Wukong was on his days where he was like oh man I don't wanna die and he was afraid of death Yuan was the one to advice Wukong about Master Subodhi. So yeah....says a lot of things.

Fun fact about Yuan they actually don't like the feeling of stone on their feet, so I have this cute idea where Wukong and Macaque built a forest around their palace so Yuan wouldn't be touching the floor. Man...there such great friends I wonder what happened.

[the-monkey-ruler]

Hey, sorry to bother you, but do you happen to know where I can watch the rise of the great sage, king of confusion, etc i been trying to find it, but to no success

Thank you, and if u do know where it is, please could tell me or post about it

Do you mean 大圣崛起 / 混世四猴? Cause I'm sad to say that it hasn't come out yet! It looks like it got pushed back until this year. At least it says that it should come out 2024, but honestly, I'm not sure when the movie is going to be released sadly.

Right now it looks like we can only wait until there is anymore news.
