#Macaque being in denial

[nekohime19]

It took mini Macaque a while to befriend Wukong so of course it'll be the same in a relationship.

That's so true! Macaque didn't have any friends before Wukong so, really, he has zero experience when it comes to romance and picking up on social cues.

Wukong is in for a long courtship period.

Macaque...

Didn't you feel something different to mayor?

How your heart was beating in a different way...hmm???????

Don't you think it might be a....sign of...being more deep relationship with mayor?

Macaque Moodboard for When He Hears Wukong's Tantrum From Miles Away and Still Decides Not to Visit Him

[monkie-brainriot]

The subtle but increasingly annoyed expressions on MK & SWK's faces #father and son trying to bond with an unwanted tag-along that wont leave them alone and wont shut up about wukong

Macaque: I don’t really talk about my problems

Also Macaque: *truama dumps on Mk* *truama dumps on Mk* *trauma dumps on Mk* *trauma dumps vaguely on Tang*

Mac: I am mysterious and no one knows anything about me. I’m closed book, a riddle-

Mk: i asked for none of this 

[aleiiii]

Hello again back with another angsty thought roaming about. Don't know if it's been brought up yet but if Na is mortal or not but if she is a mortal , how does Wukong (and Mac) cope with the thoughts of him outliving her ( like he did with all of his old friends)?

Or does he try to figure a way to extend her life?

FROSTED 🫵🏼

These angst asks are so yummy, thank you 🤭

Holy moly,,,,, yknow I can see Wukong being in huge denial, especially after going through losing his previous companions, probably encountering other mortals come and go. He’s really reminded about Nà’s mortality after the Lady Bone Demon encounter, she’s tired and worn out from the venture. Probably a little injured (from Wukong no less uh oh). He fights the internal battle of either going behind her back and giving her an elixir or a peach from the gardens, or just straight up asking her,,,, BUT that runs the risk of her rejecting Wukong’s wish to make her immortal, and that’s really not an option in Wukong’s eyes.

Macaque tries to be a point of reason. Maybe she does want to live a normal human lifespan, and that would be her choice…. But he’s also grown extremely attached to her. He wouldn’t want to lose something so dear to him again. As much as he tries to allow Nà to have her own will, Wukong can be a bit of a barrier.

I'm just imagining the Camel Ridge Trio being very confused when Sunny is released because that's Sun Wukong, but not? Things get even more confusing when Sunny doubles down on his refusal to believe he's Wukong-

"You look like him."

"NO I DON'T!"

"You specifically look like him when he's in human form."

"NO I DON'T!"

"You- Azure, stop looking at him like that-"

The conquest of Heaven is delayed for at least an hour because there's so much confusion and denial of reality.

xDDD sadly Sunny isn't released with the others cause he's all glitchy making Azure clearly see that he's Wukong and leaving him trapped like in the og- (they also try and trap macaque but Sunny follows instinct and pushes Macaque into the portal beam thingy with one of the others)

tho this sorta is what it's like during the big battle.

Azure: Sun Wukong! Finally i-

Sunny: uhhh it's Sunny.

Azure: what?

Sunny: also like I for real barely know who you are so um if you could be so kind as to tell me what "I" did to piss you off that would be splendid!

Azure: wha????

Sunny: Oh and you're rating is like 2/10!

Azure: ...???????

[fellow-fandom-fruitifier]

Also, fic idea 4 this is that 6EM would b so relieved 2 know that it’s false, he’d b shook ofc & he’d prolly feel guilty bcz of his whole revenge thing, but he’d also b relieved 2 know that SWK didn’t actually kill him. So he doesn’t see this as a problem in the way of their relationship n e more, bcz it didn’t happen. But SWK absolutely thinks this is a ✨Problem✨™️, bcz What The Actual FUCK Macaque??

So, new problem: 6EM has had centuries to cope (cough master being in the river of Egypt cough cough) w/ SWK “killing him”, & SWK has had, like, 3 minutes💀. So ofc 6EM just wants 2 skim past this & continue pretending that everything is Fine™️, but SWK has finally remembered his ✨Enlightenment✨ & desperately wants 2 talk 2 6EM abt this v real issue.

Bcz this isn’t healthy 4 either of them. SWK has been violently made aware that as long as 6EM has a chance 2 have their friendship back he’s willing 2 4get/put up w/ anything. (Which honestly wrecks SWK & makes him wonder how much he’s alr done wrong, what unknown boundaries he’s crossed.) & 6EM is, well, he’s refusing 2 face his issues & shit cause he just wants 2 have SWK back.

The fic would basically b like:

SWK: “Macaque… we need to talk.”

6EM: “Look man, if this is about the peach chips I swear it wasn’t me! The-“

SWK: “Macaque. I’m serious.”

6EM: “Oooo, he’s serious! Careful there, wouldn’t want you to pull something!”

SWK: *Obviously frustrated but choosing to ignore him, knowing they won’t get anything done if he engages.*

SWK: “We need to talk about what happened the other day! I mean, did you really think that I would-“

6EM: “Psshh, that? Don’t even worry about it peach! It’s in the past, been debunked, remedied, coped with, I’m 100 and 10 percent over it- all that good stuff!”

SWK: “‘Over it’?! This isn’t something you can just be ‘over’!”

6EM: “Yeah? Well, I am so over it, looks like a speck- an ant!- from this height. Soooo! It doesn’t matter! Can we just move on? It’s fi-“

SWK: “Plum.”

6EM: “It’s fine! It doesn’t matter. It wasn’t even real and-“

SWK: “LIU’ER!”

6EM: “…”

SWK: *Heavy sigh, taking deep breaths to calm down.*

SWK: “Look, Macaque. I-“

6EM: “I have to go, um. Scheming business, you know?” *He’s cracking a, albeit horrible, joke btw. Not taking a dig @ SWK.*

& then he’d bail. Not 100% sure how’d they’d eventually get thru 2 him, prolly either SWK or himself breaking down abt it.

If SWK broke down it’d prolly b abt being a failure, that he can’t even prove himself 2 b safe enough 2 talk. 6EM would calm him down, 1 emotional talk l8r & 6EM reveals the real reason he didn’t want 2 talk abt it. If 6EM broke down it’d prolly b abt how there’s no reason 2 b so upset, that it’s not real, ect. SWK would do the same, calm him down, & he’d say that it’s valid 2 b upset & that it doesn’t matter if it was “real” or not bcz it is real to Macaque.

I’m leaning more towards 6EM breaking down abt it bcz I feel like SWK, after everything, would feel comfortable enough talking 2 MK or Sandy. Meanwhile 6EM is only rlly close 2 SWK, MK, & Mei, but he can’t talk abt it w/ SWK, can’t w/ MK (cause y’know), & certainly not Mei (bcz Y’KNOW).

They eventually talk abt it, boundaries get set up, safe words 4 when sums going on they don’t like but aren’t 100% comfy outright saying or don’t wanna explain. (Let’s say it’s pears 4 now, shout out if u know what fic that’s from. If u don’t it’s “Buy One, Get One Free” by MondaysMushroom, pls read it, it’s so good.)

These were mainly made 4 6EM but SWK def uses them 2. (After a talk w/ Sandy abt how him using them would prolly help 6EM open up 2 using them, also bcz it’d help SWK 2 & pls stop being stubborn and let others help u u stupid monkey-)

If u want extra hurt/comfort I’d make the 1st safe word used b abt SWK’s staff. Like SWK just trying 2 show off, MK asks 2 see him & 6EM spar. They do, but SWK pulls out his staff & 6EM panics so badly, & he just blurts out “Pear!”, & once he’s calmed down he’d prolly b v embarrassed over it. Pulling the classical move of “lmao how embarrassing haha, let’s crack a joke and 4get this ever happened”, but SWK has enlightenment (and Sandy) on his side. So eventually 6EM spills that he remembers SWK killing him w/ it (whether or not SWK actually gave 6EM his eye injury or not is up 2 u) & SWK instantly agrees 2 never use it against him again.

The 1st time SWK used it would prolly b 4 sum a lot more nuanced? Like it’s p obv y 6EM wouldn’t want his murder weapon in the general vicinity of his TKO spot💀. But w/ SWK I think it’d b more, like, 6EM w8ing 4 him. I feel like it’d b hard 4 him 2 explain/put in2 words, cause may b he doesn’t even know what’s scratching at his brain every time 6EM says “I’ll w8 4 u, dw” or sum. Eventually it’d get out & 6EM would agree 2 do sum else while w8ing so it feels less like he’s w8ing 4 SWK.

Does any1 else just casually wonder wtf it’d b like if SWK didn’t actually kill 6EM & it was all a plot by the big bad? Like imagine he & 6EM start healing

(I REFUSE 2 BELIEVE THESE DUMBASSES WOULD TALK ABT IT, THEY WOULD SHOVE IT DOWN LIKE “PAST IS PAST LMAO” REGARDLESS OF IF THATS HEALTHY😭)

& sumhow sumway it gets revealed that 6EM fully believes SWK killed him. Remember what Pengshit said abt how SWK can’t do anything 2 break his hold over 6EM? Right, well imagine how SWK would feel knowing that his most loyal friend is so loyal he’d stay even if he thought SWK did, like, The Worst Thing Ever™️ to him.

Like I feel like that’d fuck him up soooo bad. Cause now he’s gotta clarify that, no, I didn’t kill u. And, also, Why The Fuck r u still here??? Bcz now bro has 2 cope w/ the idea that 6EM genuinely thinks SWK has it in himself 2 literally murder his oldest friend, but also has 2 cope w/ the fact that 6EM loves him sm he’s just willing 2 try & 4get abt his literal DEATH 4 him

ALSO CAN I PLS TALK ABT HOW IF SWK DID ACTUALLY KILL 6EM HOW PENGSHIT IS SO FUCKED UP FOR THAT LINE⁉️

Also I think it’s 4shadowing 4 s5. Like obv if SWK & 6EM r gonna heal they gotta b near eachother/work 2gether. But Pengshit’s last word is gonna instill even more doubt. Bcz now that the question of “is there anything SWK can do to me that’ll make me any less loyal to him??” has actually been spoken aloud, it’s a tangible thing. It’d also b worse if it was a private thought 6EM had, bcz then he knows he’s not the only 1 thinking abt it.

So now 6EM is caught in wanting 2 fix their relationship & not sure if he should. Which is just gonna do absolute wonders 4 their A-grade communication I’m sure (WHY CANT THEY JUST FUCKING TALK LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE-)

[swkbiggestdefender]

I'm bored so this is my take/headcannon on shadowpeach feelings and relationship

In the past:

macaque was in love but kept it to himself because wukong is his best friend and he doesn't want to ruin that

wukong was also in love but do to him not understand social cue and romance he just put it as macaque being his favourite person and best friend

during jttw:

macaque was heartbroken after their argument but still loved wukong deep down but was too afraid to talk to him after all that time so decided to just go with whatever the brotherhood did

Wukong after a while understood that his feelings for macaque was romantic and he wanted to fix things more than anything and tell him his feelings

(they both got fucked by the narratives)

in the present:

macaque in season 1/2/3 was in denial he wanted to hurt wukong because he thought wukong wasn't hurt but in s4 after seeing that wukong was tormented by the past too he decided despite everything to be on his side

wukong in season 1/2/3 have mixed feelings but mostly anger at macaque he tries to ignore it and not think about him (it doesn't work) in s4 after after macaque came with mk to rescue him he accepted that he still wants macaque to be a part of his life despite evreytime

season 5:

macaque just heard the word trust from wukong and was never the same because that's what he always wanted wukong to trust him that's why he did everything he could to insure that wukong trust doesn't fade again because he wants to be someone wukong can relay on because he still love him

wukong trust that macaque is on his side and try not to think about anything else he wants macaque around but at a safe distance deep down he knows he still love him but rather keep that to himself he'll settle for macaque being his friend even his allay at most not wanting to crack their already fragile relationship

[quitealotofsodapop]

DBK: Oh, you should have seen Macaque when Azure first showed up at our doorstep. Had Wukong not been right there and clear that we had needed the alliance at the time, he probably would have ripped that lion to shreds the moment laid a claw on Wukong's shoulder in greeting!

Macaque: I did not- You know as well as I did, that Wukong can handle himself just fine when it comes to courtship!

Tieshan, cackling: Doesn't stop you from being jealous about your precious 'Sunshine' having so many suitors, my dear brother!

DBK: You still get that way as well, or do we need to remind you of just how you decided to introduce yourself to young MK here? And he hadn't even been a suitor, merely someone spending for too much time with Wukong for your taste until you realized the nature of their bond!

MK: Wait... the reason you attacked me was because you were jealous of me!? Because I was close to Monkey King? Who, need I remind you, is your ex??

Macaque: Look, you were a strange mortal who Wukong just randomly picked as his successor after years of isolation, and I was freshly revived. What the hell else was I supposed to think!?

Prev.

YUP! Simp Macaque behaviour! XD

He was so aggro towards MK at the start because this shadow monkey is a yandere in denial.

HIs feral brain was firing off thoughts like; "Who's this? Why are they occupying my mate's time? Angry!" which after some time developed into "Oh nvm. It's a cub. Our cub now." :3

Wukong isn't any better. If he saw how many admirers Macaque had before and after they broke up - he'd turn into a snarling jealous monkey in an instant.

Random Demon, slides up to Macaque: "Hey handsome, can I get your numb-" Wukong, jumps between them:

Random Demon: "Oh damn! My bad!" (*leaves*) Macaque: (*smugly preens over Wukong's shoulder*)

Prompt: post s5, Mac goes to find Wukong and find him he does, along with a broken mirror; given by @visionaryscribe

-

He never knew the world could get more obnoxiously loud. The change was slow, but at this point Macaque’s certain it’s a side effect of shattering the five stones of creation. Now he can hardly step foot off Flower Fruit Mountain without reducing his hearing to human levels. Human. At least at demon levels he can still hear magic, but he’s practically crippled like this.

But it’s like the kid can’t go one day without getting into trouble, so Macaque sucks it up, deafens himself, and finds time to check in on him regularly. Wouldn’t want another world ending disaster to go unnoticed until it’s too late to do anything about it.

It becomes routine. A boring, straightforward task with little to no surprises outside of the mundane shenanigans MK and the dragon girl get up to. After a few weeks of this, Macaque makes the mistake of letting his guard down.

He lingers a little longer in the shadows of MK’s room, watching the kid draw. This is the most relaxed he’s seen the kid since the pillar. It relaxes him in turn, something within him unwinding and feeling a little less like the world is actually out to get him. The moment he hears the pig come up though, he makes his exit. The kid is getting better and better at spotting him and without a distraction keeping him from looking up, Macaque doesn’t like his chances of remaining unnoticed.

Returning to Flower Fruit Mountain is simple. Removing the deafening spell takes barely a thought.

Or it should.

It’s still too quiet and he wonders how he could have messed up a spell he could cast with his hands tied behind his back. Recasting the spell does nothing to fix things. Frustrated and assured he’s alone, he rips the glamour on his ears off as well to no change. His breathing hitches as he clutches at his ears and reflexively expands his range.

To his surprise, it works. It only takes a second for the thought to hit him with all the force of a certain red and gold staff.

Wukong’s not on the mountain.

With more panic than he’d ever admit to anyone – only because if Wukong’s missing, he must be getting into trouble – Macaque scrambles to locate peaches-for-brains and has to stop himself from slumping in relief at finding the white noise of Wukong’s magic at the temple on the mainland.

He tells himself it’s a reasonable response at finding out Wukong hasn’t brought some world ending disaster down on their heads.

Macaque finds it a bit strange though. Wukong’s been spending most of his time split between his hut and the noodle shop. If he wasn’t being an overprotective mother hen, he was lazing around in his hut and gorging himself on fruit.

Lingering adrenaline and piqued curiosity is enough to have him shadow portal to the temple. He grimaces as he adjusts to the noise volume, suppressing his hearing as best as he can without magic.

The sharp tang of copper lingers in the air and sends his adrenaline spiking yet again. When he finds Wukong he’s going to punch him in his stupid face for giving him this much stress.

He follows the smell of blood to the bathroom and immediately zeros in on the Great Pain of Heaven. He found Wukong alright, along with a shattered mirror.

Curled in on himself, Wukong’s claws are digging into his skull and his heartbeat so rapid that it’s likely without the immortalities he would have given himself a heart condition.

Glass crunches underneath his boots as he steps closer, but Wukong doesn’t even flinch. Worry breaks through his denial and he crouches barely a handspan away, eyes catching on the pinprick pupils, the glittering glass sprinkled amidst sunset orange fur, and the already healing scratches on Wukong’s face. Almost entirely hidden beneath his curled hands, a long, shallow slice on his temple tells him exactly what set this off.

A slow wave in front of his face doesn’t even make him blink. Wukong’s clearly not registering anything he’s seeing.

“Wukong,” he murmurs softly, trying to snap him out of it without touching him and possibly setting him off further.

Macaque should have expected something like this to happen, but with the damn circlet long gone, he thought they managed to get past it without an incident. Figures Wukong wouldn’t deign to have his breakdown when he is around someone that could help him.

MK would be better for this. Even out of his mind, Wukong would never hurt the kid. His instincts wouldn’t let him.

Macaque doesn’t have that assurance.

Claws twitch and dig further until there’s the distinct crack of hitting bone. Before he even registers the lump in his throat, Macaque is reaching over and ripping Wukong’s hands away from his head. Any damage he could do removing them would be nothing close to what Wukong could do to himself.

Like he has nothing better to do than cause Macaque problems, Wukong immediately begins thrashing, mouth open in a silent scream. He’s thrown off, but picks himself up, hurls himself at Wukong, and sends them both through a shadow portal back to Wukong’s nest.

As he had hoped, the change of location sends Wukong off balance. It’s enough to let Macaque pin Wukong to the nest and reinforce the hold with his shadows. Wukong still struggles, but slowly, that resistance fades away as the differences in his surroundings start trickling in. Familiar scents instead of blood. Comforting fabrics instead of sharp glass.

Capitalizing on the opening, Macaque thinks to himself, Can’t believe I’m doing this, and makes a low, rumbling purr. It almost hurts at first, having been centuries since he’s worked these particular muscles, but it gets easier as he keeps it up.

Beneath him, he can feel the gradual way Wukong relaxes. With his hands occupied he has to use his head to nudge the side of Wukong’s in encouragement, keeping the purr up all the while.

He’s not sure how long they stay like that, but by the time he feels safe enough to let go of the restraints, he feels exhausted. Wukong, the prissy princess, tensed up again every single time he so much as let up on the pacifying gestures. He leans back just enough to see Wukong’s face and has to fight the urge to strangle him when he sees the idiot is asleep.

Faintly, he considers portaling back to his own bed, but frankly, even that’s too much effort right now. Besides, after what Wukong put him through, he can deal with waking up next to Macaque. He lowers himself back down, this time on the side and gets the source of all his problems curling into his chest for his efforts.

He contents himself with the fantasy of kicking Wukong away and wraps an arm around him because Wukong might as well make himself useful as a blanket. His eyes slide shut and he takes a deep breath as a scent that never fails to register as safe despite everything that screams otherwise fills his nose.

Macaque never sees the way eyes peek open a sliver before falling closed once more.

[sourle]

This is the anon with the LBD request. I copy pasted the plot again, just in case.

I was wondering if you could have the Fem S/O of MK, Red Son, Monkey King, and Macaque who gets possessed by LBD instead of that girl. Like one day after seeing their S/O, they suddenly disappear for hours, then days, then weeks, and they're now going on a desperate attempt to find them only to discover they've been possessed by LBD, and they're in desperate attempt to get them back leading up to their S/O being freed, and the aftermath of defeating LBD.

I'm sorry it took me a while to complete those because i was having small writer blocks. I'm sorry but i couldn't really do specific gender.

MK, Red son, Sun Wukong, Macaque.

Type: Angst

Summary:

The reader got possessed By LBD. How would the Monkeys and Red son react?

MK

He was.. sad, mad, and devastated at the same time. You, his insignificant other that he dearly loved, was taken from him and used against him.

He won't do a harder attack which gave LBD an advantage on her side since MK doesn't want to hurt you.

He would always plead and beg for you to snap out of LBD possession and come back.

C'mon man he's desperate, you're the only one he truly loves and he doesn't want you to go.

He loves you because you doesn't fuss about popularity just on dating someone who's under Monkey king wings. You love him because of him. And that's what he loves about you.

Yet now all he saw was you standing there looking down at him laughing, he knew it's not you. He knew but he seems to always think it was you.

He's upset, the others tried to hold him back. Screaming and crying as he tried to get you back.

Red son

Of all people.. of ALL people, it had to be you. He's in denial. He doesn't want to believe you're gone, he doesn't want to believe what is the truth.

He lost his parents in this chaos and destruction and now you?

He's in grief after accepting that you've been possessed, but not long. He'll go and promise to save you and his parents.

He'll try everything to get you back, even by helping MK and his friends. It's only a last desperate attempt to get you back.

He knows you're still there, he knows he's the one that's gonna get you back. It's only by time, and patience is the key.

He'll get you back no matter the cause and what he has to do, he'll get you back.

He promised and he'll fulfill that promise.

Sun wukong

Pain, pain all over. This man has hatred towards LBD now double it.

The moment he sees you he knows something was wrong. Trying to trick Him isn't that easy LBD.

You know that moment when he was in guilt for his actions? Yeah, now add you his guilt got the best of him even further.

He's going head on. On that one scene where he's about to get rid of LBD and the girl, he's definitely having second thoughts. It's you now in that girl possession.

Don't know but knowing this man, he's doing whatever he can to stop the evil. No not for civilization, not for the people. But for his own entertainment.

So 8/10 he will definitely sacrifice you to stop LBD.

Well until the table turns. You know what I meant.

Macaque

He's speechless, he doesn't know how to react or feel. Out of all LBD had to take you away from him.

At first it was his sworn brothers now you?

He couldn't take another loss and that's a snapping point for him, he'll stop at nothing, obeying every command LBD gave as she promised to free you when it's all done.

He's more aggressive than before— and more dangerous. Which is bad for Mk and his crew.

Overall, he's definitely going through 5 phases of grief before getting revenge on helping MK, but it will take him a lot to convince.

[homunculus-argument]

man from alternative timeline where having ADHD is the norm: See, you are suffering from the modern problem of Routine Addiction. You're addicted to the habit of having a routine - don't give me that look, you're in denial of having a habit habit. Everyone thinks they don't have one but as soon as they don't get their fix of routines first thing in the morning they get agitated and distressed. Some people can't function at all in the normal chaos of being alive without their routine habit. Yeah, some people start their day with a morning routine, that's the sign of a real severe addiction. Now grab this shovel, it's 3 am and I need a hand with fighting this troop of macaques someone let loose.

[cloud-somersault]

Soul anon here!

Let me at the dissenters with weapons and the power of incredible violence.

I, for one, am looking forward to some Mac centric fic for you.

THIS ASK MADE ME CRY????? LMFAIODJA THANK YOU no violence needed, though. i'm just gonna get drunk i think.

glad you're looking forward to it! i don't know how to tell people that macaque's curse also won't be fixed in the epilogue. 😊

[fawnfictions]

Can I request general hcs for Wukong and Red Son crushing on a reader who uses a female reader?

little crushes

— wukong & red son x fem!reader

yessir, yesSIR !! apologies if red son is ooc, still not confident in writing his character <//3

;; romantic, no warnings.

WUKONG

- he is in DENIAL at first.

- he's found people attractive before, sure, but he's never had a crush on someone.

- doesn't know how to act, and may distance himself in an act of rash panic—he's scared of losing you as a friend, or getting too close and dealing with the loss of a mortal loved one.

- once he starts coming to terms with the fact that he likes you, he's scared.

- scared that getting too close to you will have you in danger of people that he regrets messing with, scared of eventually losing you and dealing with that pain, scared that you don't like him back.

- thankfully, he only really gets lost in these thoughts when he's alone.

- around you, he'll be a lot more touchy than he already is.

- loves wrapping an arm around your shoulders, or picking you up on his somersault cloud.

- if you're around when the Spider Queen attacks, or the Demon Bull King goes on a rampage, he's hauling your ass to safety.

- but when its more calm, and he has nothing else to do, theres a good chance that he'll drop by your house to freeload off of your snacks—definitely not because he desperately wants to spend more time with you.

- we all know that this monkey is LAZY, so he will be laying across your couch, packet of chips in hand, watching a movie based off his self, and living his best life while you're sitting there like,,, 'man? don't you have humanity-saving to do?'

- MK will absolutely notice how clingy his mentor is to you, and will not be ashamed to bring it up during one of his training lessons.

- Wukong will deny everything he says with an obvious blush across his face.

- but the young successor will try his best to play wingman, but he's not exactly subtle about it.

- cue him slyly walking up to you, like, "so, uh... what're your thoughts on Monkey King? brave, cool, handsome guy, right?"

- he will probably be the reason you two ever get to together, he'll accidentally end up confessing FOR Wukong.

- this monkey is so obvious, no one understands how you DON'T realise his crush on you.

- the way his face turns red when you wear a dress for a fancy occasion, or when he tells a joke and that harmonious laugh you have captures his heart.

- he will do ANYTHING to keep a smile on your face.

- unintentionally uses pet names on you, "hey, peaches—" "what did you call me?" "uh, n-nothing, nothing."

- if you let him, he'll love playing with your hair and styling it.

- human hair feels so different to monkey hair, it feels more fragile and delicate, soft and silky—plus, it smells nice.

- you get bonus points if your shampoo/conditioner is fruit scented, you'll catch him sniffing your hair and holding himself back from rubbing his face in it.

- please brush his hair, too, he'll fall more in love with you since its common for monkey's to show affection by picking through each others hair.

- he gets a little protective sometimes, as once certain demons realise his feelings for you, you'll become a target of kidnapping and being used as bait for their attempts at attacking the Monkey King.

- but, since you two haven't acknowledged your feelings for each other, you aren't as protected as you would be if you were his outright girlfriend.

- so enemies like the Spider Queen or the Lady Bone Demon, possibly even Macaque at one point, would definitely take their chances in taking you in their grasps to get a one-up on Wukong.

- and its probably during one of these moments, after he saves you, that he'll properly confess how he doesn't want to lose you because he loves you :))

RED SON

- this spicy boy—oh my goddd.

- immediately assumes he doesn't like you.

- thinks his crush on you is a feeling of annoyance, it will take him a while to realise its quite the opposite.

- since he thinks he 'hates' you, he'll spend a lot of time bickering back and forth with you, uselessly throwing insults around.

- its not until he doesn't see you for a while, whether its because he's busy with a project, or you've taken some sort of vacation, that he realises he misses his interactions with you, that he misses you.

- he'll be a lot nicer to you afterwards, which gives you a bit of whiplash.

- i feel like he'd be the type to buy you gifts and nice things, like he'd anonymously drop a pretty red dress off at your doorstep, or he'd give you a necklace claiming he just "happened to find it, and thought that it complimented your eyes".

- way to not be obvious, red boy.

- but he'd still playfully argue with you, he just wouldn't outright insult you as much.

- if you're friends with MK and go on his adventures with him, whenever Red Son goes to insult that group as a whole, he'll be like, "you guys are all insolent peasants... except you".

- i reckon he'd be reluctant to tell his parents about his feelings, and probably has a hard time on himself, thinking that he should've fallen in love with another demon, powerful enough to assist his family.

- but he forgets about those worries when he's around you <3

- when neither of you are busy, he just 'so happens to be in the same place as you, at the same time', an excuse he uses too many times for it to be a coincidence.

- you're out in the markets, just wandering around? he was in the middle of shopping there, himself!

- taking a stroll in the park? oh, he had just taken a step outside to clear his mind!

- at Pigsy's Noodles? he was on his way to conduct an 'evil plan' on Monkey King's successor!

- during the Spider Queen's attack, when the Demon Bull King was possessed by the Lady Bone Demon, he might come to you for comfort at first.

- definitely focuses on keeping you safe, though—no way in hell is he letting you be turned into a spider.

- you're definitely one of the very few people who help him with his temper.

- he doesn't lose it as quickly around you, instead, finding you rather calming, and often seeks you out when MK has gotten him particularly annoyed, or if his parents have upset him.

- will shy away from your physical touch, but deep down he does kind of crave it.

- is the type to blush if you brush hands walking past each other, or if your fingers touch when passing him an object.

- and my god—if anyone dared to flirt with you or look at you a little too non-platonically... he'd go off at them, yelling at them to respect a lady such as yourself, calling them a peasant for their advances on you, etc.

- and you're standing there like,, 'all he did was compliment my dress and wink at me'.

- if anything, you'll probably have to be the one to confess to him that you love him, but i can see him confessing his love after some pushing from other people ahem, MK, ahem...

- he'd act like it was a proposal, getting down on one knee or something <//3

- i said it before and i'll say it again, his love languages are gift giving and acts of service!!!

- expect plenty of gifts (probably more expensive ones, too), and inventions that will either, 1.) look really cool, or 2.) protect you in some way.

Taken au.

So, I'm pretty sure mk is starting to figure things out, maybe not the whole, he's a monkey thing but he's definitely starting to think he might actually be related to Xiotian.

So my question, how long will it take for Mk to Finnaly stop being in denial about it?

Cause, I can see from the last chapter that Mk is definitely starting to reject anything that's "just like macaque" he seems a bit upset, I don't know how he feels about the whole "just like SWK" since Swk is his idol but so far, the denial is strong.

We've seen how the others react to mk being similar to them, will we be getting more of mk's inner thoughts? Angst please:⁠-⁠)

Gosh hard to say. Probably for a little while longer.

To accept that he is a monkey to MK feels like it would deny who he is right now. His whole life he has been MK, the human Mystery Kid. Whether he likes being that or not, it's him. He's accepted that it is just his lot for this life. However, to realize he is something else, would mean he isn't MK. And if he isn't MK, then who is he?

What he does know: He is the Mystery Kid, who is human and didn't have parents for some reason (whether that be abandonment, death, or other) it is the fact that he doesn't know why he was left at the orphanage that brings a strange sense of comfort. Because he can delude himself into thinking "My parents probably did want me, but did this for my sake" or some lie. And now he is living happily with his adopted parents. That maybe, his birth parents just wanted a better life for him, and it just took a while to get there.

The Unknown: he can be a Monkey, with undeniable ties to the Monkey King- perhaps familial ties. Or even worse, their son. And to him, to see that they kept the other child and not him, that is an unrefutable acknowledgement that he was the unwanted child. A monkey with no name, unwantd, and unloved, denied at his very birth.

The unknown is always scarier then the known.

So that boils down to, even if MK is face to face with his Monkey form, there is a very high chance he will still reject it for a time

and we'll be getting a lot of his inner thoughts :D Don't you worry

Azure Lion

He in denial that he is a Yandere.

He meets you while he is in his years of mourning for his friends, befriends you, and falls in love with you.

Manipulates you into thinking all he wants is your safety.

Is weirdly obsessed with you sitting on his lap.

He ends up making himself believe he doesn't want you to contact anyone else is because he has trust issues because of Wukong and Macaque.

Yeah, sure.

Regardless, he is gentle with you.

He does try to pressure you into having children with him though.

If Wukong every touches you, he will try to kill Wukong.

Peng

The most insane out of the entire group.

They are like Wukong, falls in love with you on sight and kidnaps you.

Unlike Wukong though, they isn't going to lock you in a cave and hide you as their secret little toy no no no

They put you on a fucking collar and leash and has you crawl on your hands and knees and follow him.

Brags to the other members about you and encourage them to touch you.

In their mind, it doesn't matter because they know you are only theirs and him giving him friends permission to touch you proves it.

Will spit in your mouth and says they are watering you.

Like putting their hands around your neck and saying they'll kill you just to see your scared face

If you die, they'll put you in this room where all their's previous darlings are and dress you up like a doll.

Yellowtusk

He's a recovering Yandere. Knows he's a yandere and is trying to correct himself.

He warns you when you enter a relationship with him. He is the only yandere that if you ever call him out on his behaviour, he will actually listen and correct himself.

If you break up with him, he makes his friends hold him accountable and he's serious about it.

He is very protective of you, and that includes of himself. He doesn't want his tusk to hurt you.

Unlike Peng, he doesn't want others touching you but he tries to hold in his possessiveness. He does communicate to you he doesn't like it and appreciates it when you go out of your way to not touch other people.

When you wear something scandals, he tries to keep himself in his chair and not touch you.

He views you as a price of artwork.

The thing that will make him go full yandere again is if he sees someone hurt you.

You will end up being covered in the blood of whoever hurt you.
