#Showman!Macaque

[creators-island]

Wukong loved joining Macaque for his summer baths.

Macaque is a winter monkey, he’s used to cold weather and he doesn’t really like the hot weather. So he always takes long baths in summer, Wukong accompany him so he didn’t feel alone.

[I’ve been trying new stuff with my art program]...

LMK fic au idea

Welp im not good writing fic and my ideas are riots

@quitealotofsodapop and I made an au about the Monkey King's children: Paramita, Sun Luzhen, Yuebei Xing, Jidu and Luohou.

This happens once Wukong finishes his journey and returns home, helping with the reconstruction of the island, mainly because he starts to feel lonely especially for what happened with his partner Macaque. And one of the things he always wanted once the war was over is to be able to have a family with his beloved but this couldn't happen so he will do it with his own hands in the style of Nuwa, he would create clay eggs and even find a hidden one and from there his children would be born.

Paramita is the firstborn and heir to the throne of the kingdom of the mountain of fruits and flowers and Alolai being the serious of all his brothers and the most elegant of them, he has an elegance that his father lacks but that will not make him less lethal on the battlefield; he is the general of the kingdom's army and has on his shoulders the expectations of the kingdom as crown prince.

Sun Luzhen in his canon is Wukong's twin brother who had taken so long to hatch, and the second to be born when he was found, the king had adopted him as his own son, He has an energetic personality like a showman, He is now a version of Porty light, he is a professional musician and has worked in various musical genres, even in large industries making soundtracks for various movies or video games under an alias.

Yuebei Xing, the only daughter of the monkey king, is daddy's little princess, with a tough character and a very bad temper, with an enormous and muscular build that makes her completely intimidating, but under the dark shell she is a monkey who loves her family and her brothers, she was born with a cleft lip of which she only has a scar, she is a renowned paleontologist in her field who loves her job, she has always loved digging up bones since she was little.

Jidu and Luohou they are mischievous twins who like to cause trouble like their older brother Luzhen, who love theater like Macaque and dedicate their life to that art. Jidu is a comedian in various stand-up comedy shows while Luohou is an actor in musicals and has participated in many.

Luohou

Wukong wanted to experience the possibility of having children by modeling in clay that he created 4 eggs, by the time he found the stone egg of Luzhen he found that the Paramita egg had already hatched and in time only the eggs of the others would hatch turning Wukong into a tired father of 5 energetic children.

Rumors of his existence abounded, especially the fact that Paramita was the son of Princess Iron Fan, which was never lacking (Paramita could never find the author of that aberration in the book and if he had, he would have pulverized it). This rumor was born because he and Red Son WERE childhood friends and a possible marriage union between them was expected (Like Odette and Derek in The Swan Princess). Now their parents wanted them to marry for love like they did, but then the thing at the mountain happened and they lost contact.

Paramita as a cub: "This is my best friend Red. When we grow up, we'll get married and have an island to ourselves!" :3

But that is if the day they meet again they shout with joy and hug each other like little kids who haven't seen each other all summer.

The rumors of the monkey king's children grew to be illustrated in the non-canonical sequels of the journey to the west and at that time they were just children, but due to the isolation of the monkey king the rumors of them became a myth until their existence was doubted, making the shadow of his father grow…

MK would meet the children of the monkey king in ''A hero is born'' is when he lands on the beach of Huaguoshan Island and they were the monkeys in disguise (Headcanon the common monkeys are glamours of yao monkeys)

Making them lose their glamour and scare MK even more until Paramita has to take control of the situation by lining everyone up.

After the initial scare MK asks them to take him to the monkey king and leave them alone; Now you might be wondering why the monkey king would need a successor? Simple, because Wukong has empty nest syndrome.

For the events of season two Paramita and his brothers will be in charge of MK's training so he wouldn't be so far behind and if they would be aware of LBD.

When MKang finds out about their existence it will be at the end of this same season especially when Pigsy is yelling at Wukong and oh boy, if there is something that Paramita does NOT tolerate at all is that HIS FATHER IS INSULTED (He's a daddy's boy)

Pigsy: You're supposed to be his mentor! Paramita: "Excusr me!? He raised five children as a single parent!" HE IS ANYTHING BUT A LAZY MAN WHO DOES NOTHING, DAMN SERVANT!!!

Paramita was millimeters away from beating Pigsy up, he will defend his father's honor knowing how introverted he is and will let that insult pass (He will fight even in mud to prove his point), his brothers would be pulling him to avoid the chef's announced death, even Yuebei has a hard time doing it being the strongest of all her brothers.

And that would be all c:

EDIT: And now the au called ''Wuxing au''

[lozfanchick]

Inspired by Introverted-monkey-noises Greastest Showman AU. Please go look at their art! It's amazing!!

Here is a snippet of Macaque and Wukong making up after Wukong and his circus burnt to the ground because Wukong never had enough. With a sprinkle of MK and Red Son's rewrite the stars romance~

Additionally at the end there is the full plot details that I unfortunately don't have time to expand on but I want to give the idea to the fandom.

[its-malarkey]

Okay I should NOT be allowed to post every time I think of a good song for Shadowpeach (I had to have done it like three or four times now) but. Hear me out. Tightrope from The Greatest Showman. For Macaque

[py-dreamer]

Hmm, I can definitely understand both POVs of both being more fashionable.

Like Mac being a theatre kid and making or wearing some costumes or some regal garments while Wukong being Wukong is a bit more of a slob or at least careless with his belongings so he doesn't care about fashion

And the other POV where Wukong is a goddamn king who lived for centuries and has been through a lot of fashion trends and eras probably, also accumulating masses of wealth through his thievery of precious items and license of his story as the monkey king and his merch. Not to mention his frequent change of outfits, his armour being very symetrical and his general demeanor being very showman like and flashy

While Macaque mostly remains in the same outfit besides his brotherhood days centuries ago, Lady bone demon making him change his armour and his gay shadow play getup. Also the fact that he probably wouldn't have much to his name when he's first revived most likely living like a street rat at first before he could concern himself with fashion.

So yea, personal biases definitely come into play but I do believe Wukong to care more about fashion than macaque.

Not that he has the better taste, it's just he has more clothes and is more uptight about looking good most likely and they have different styles.

Wukong seems to me like the flashy type. All his clothes are garishly bright, gold, jewels, embroidery, fancy silks that just scream "PAY ATTENTION TO ME"

I mean in his legend he demanded for a cool outfit from the dragons to go with the neat staff he got.

And this is also Lmk Wukong who wears armour daily and also was the one fixing Macaque's scarf in the brotherhood flashback. Tbh, he'd probably have more outfits than he could count dating all the way back to like the tang dynasty or something.

But then again, as much as I love his fit in the beach episode, Wukong definitely has a bit of middle aged dad style. Not a bad thing by any means but he definitely has some stuff that Pigsy could wear just more orange. Odd picks here and there but since he's capitalized on his Great Sage image most likely would only wear it in private on the mountain where no one can judge him or when disguising himself like in the lantern city.

I can imagine him in his younger days prioritising comfort than flash. Then after his crowning as king and looking beyond the mountain, he'd start focusing on presenting himself as wealthy and flashy to compete with the other demon kings. Though he'd still have that playful comfort during the brotherhood era

After the beef with heaven, his garments would definitely be more armour oriented. All to make himself look more intimidating especially after the furnace and like that he feels safer.

During the journey cause he's travelling with a Buddhist monk, his wardrobe would be reduced to only one simple outfit which he doesn't mind after a while, just happy to be out of his mountain prison.

Though post journey I think he'd be drawn back to the flashy garments he had in his youth and experiment with more modern styles though he keeps his default monkey king outfit for the brand. The fact that it still resembles armour makes me think he does feel a little safer like that but the lack of the hard metal also makes me feel like he's softening up.

And after so many years being alone, I think he'd go back to looking for comfort in his clothes. Still fabulous but comfy, especially since he has his own sucessor.

Mac I feel like would care less about his clothes. Again for the reasons stated above but also because of his status, mainly him not being the monkey king.

Macaque establishes himself as a warrior, was once Wukong's right hand (Jury's out on whether he did a good job but anyways) so there wouldn't be as big a need for him to present himself as attention grabbing.

Being someone who likes to slink in the shadows it makes sense for him to wear the same thing everyday, dark colors also make him more camoflaged.

Instead of relying on style I think he'd mostly use his acting, sauve personality and charm rather than bold fashion.

Not that Wukong isn't charming and cunning but I just feel like Mac would rather act smoothly and rely on his wit and magic than Wukong's bold charisma.

Similarly to how they both have style just different taste, I think they're both cunning, charming and witty but like present it in different ways.

In modern day, since he isn't in Wukong's shadow anymore so to speak, I think he'd be a tad more adventurous with style like his gay play gig with the cloak and I think he has a couple of pretty damn nice things in his closet (other his love for his su-) and can put together a few good fits but given his lack of costume change compared to Wukong, I still say Wukong is more fashion focused

(Also Mac definitely lived in an alleyway by the dumpsters like a racoon at one point and you can pry this headcannon from my dead body)

Just curious...

Who do you think have better fashion sense, Wukong or Macaque? Mind telling me why? :3

I Know Those Eyes, Part 2

Even when the others finally arrived, Xingshen was deeply uneasy. It didn’t help that she could tell the Mayor was there, his blank eyes and empty smile setting her on edge. Thankfully, the show soon began, the lights dimming. Xingshen began to relax and prepared to immerse herself in the story. The curtains parted, showing a hooded figure clad in red and black.

“Welcome, viewers, to a shadow play the likes of which have never been seen. It follows the tragic tale of a legendary warrior and how those who bring light in this world inevitably bring darkness to those they hold dear.” As he spoke, shadows began to appear on the wall to illustrate as he spoke. Xingshen felt her heart begin to pound, tears immediately springing to her golden eyes. Her very stomach felt sick, and she could feel her breathing beginning to quicken. When MK mentioned getting snacks, she instantly whispered that she would join him and sprung up from her seat, moving quickly to the exit. Once outside, she put her hand to her neck, feeling the frantic pulse. She tried to control her breathing so that when MK came out she could simply say, “It is nothing, I simply must go. There is urgent business I must attend to elsewhere, I was only just informed of it while waiting for you. Please remain safe.” With the excuse given she nearly fled home, slamming the door shut behind her and pacing madly around her living room, speaking aloud to herself. “It is not possible, your emotions are simply getting the better of you. Control yourself. What would Zhizhu say if she saw you in such a state? All is well.” But her fingers began running through her hair repeatedly in a self-soothing motion. Despite her intense unease, Xingshen found herself going back to the theater. Even when her heart felt as if it would burst from her chest, even when she felt like she would throw up, she stayed for the accursed, beautiful voice and his wicked story. When the evening play concluded, she resolved to stay behind. Surely speaking with the showman would but a stop to these feelings. When the audience filed out, she sat there, one leg crossed over the other. Her hand rested idly on the bench, fingernail tapping the wood anxiously as she waited. Finally, she saw the hooded figure emerge. “Oh,” he said. “I figured everyone was gone by now.” “Your story,” Xingshen began. “Where did you learn it? I have never heard of it before.”

“From an old friend,” was the reply.

“Was he the warrior of the story?”

“You could say that.”

Xingshen was quiet for a few seconds before she asked, her voice slightly breaking, “Do you know the details of his death? Did he suffer greatly?” “Oh I would say so,” the figure said, taking a seat on the bench next to her. “I found a letter from someone who was with him in his final moments. Seems before he went he was asking for someone named ‘Zhiyin’. It was probably the poor guy’s wife. Shame she wasn’t there for him. I wonder how quick she moved on after hearing the news. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had on a wedding dress that same hour.”

His words knifed her heart. “She would never have done that. She would have taken his loss deeply and would have spent her years barely able to function without him at her side.”

“Yeah? Well you sure didn’t seem so upset in your condo surrounded by fancy furniture.”

Xingshen looked up from her folded hands to the black-furred simian sitting before her. She removed her sunglasses, showing her golden orbs now filled with tears. In a stricken tone she whispered, “Liu’er.” The monkey would have spoken, but he was suddenly held in a crushing hug. “I only knew what had happened when it was too late, I wish I had known! The stories...It was said that you attempted horrible things, and I was so anxious that the rumors were true!”

She felt the monkey stiffen, his hands going to her shoulders to shove her off. Xingshen pulled back, her eyes searching his as tears went down her face. Macaque, looking disconcerted, smoothed his outfit and said, “Yeah well...people say a lot of things about me. You get used to it.” Bewildered by his attitude, Xingshen asked, “How are you alive?”

“Why would you care? Shouldn’t you be off...what is it you do now? Making jewelry and fancy dresses?”

Xingshen frowned in continued confusion. “Liu’er, I care deeply when something happens to my friends.” “Not enough to look for me. To try to write. Anything. And now you’re hanging around the Monkey King’s apprentice.” Macaque raised an eyebrow at her, a smirk crossing his lips. “Guess you traded one monkey for another, huh? You always did have a way of getting around.” At this Xingshen stood, her lips curled back in a snarl. “How dare you mock me? Do you want to know what happened when I had to read what happened to you, Liu’er?” Not giving him a chance to respond, she yelled, “I MOURNED! I still mourn! I kept your name inscribed upon a tablet that now rests in my dwelling. Words cannot even begin to describe what it felt to realize I had lost one of the only people who truly knew me! When I read of your death, a piece of my soul died along with you!” Macaque had jumped when Xingshen began yelling, her deep voice echoing throughout the empty theater. For a few seconds the two held eyes before he scoffed and got up. “Yeah. Sure.” He turned as if to leave, but paused at Xingshen’s next words:

“I don’t pretend to know the hardships you faced, and I do not know what truly happened, but I can only ask that you allow me to repent for my long absence. For you to walk away now when I have at last found you...” Her hand moved out to hold his own, her large smooth hand encasing his smaller paw. Macaque sighed and rolled his eyes, pulling away his hand. “Times have changed, butterfly, and so have we.” That was all he said before a shadow portal formed beneath his feet, letting him slip away from her. Xingshen was left behind in that theater, crying silently as she stared at the spot where her friend had once been. Alone in her thoughts, she didn’t notice the suited figure watching her from a distance with a heathenish smile stretching across his face.

Tightrope

Based on a Nocturne AU thought of in Wish’s discord, and “Tightrope” from The Greatest Showman (2017) 

Dual POV, “~~~” Is the switch to Macaque’s

CW: Brief Mention of Panic and Hallucination

Wan Ji was tired. With assignment deadlines, on top of her parents, on top of Lu. She was tired and just wanted to let off some steam. So, it shocked her when she found herself standing on the empty stage of the auditorium. 

Usually when she was stressed, she’d just go find Elle and spend the afternoon in their bakery during their shift. Perhaps she was more stressed than she initially thought. Or, her feet were influenced by the posters for the upcoming play she saw every day, “Megapolis University Theater Presents: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, March 23, 2XXX!” It was a classic, one she has seen many times throughout the years. She had nearly all the songs and choreography memorized, some steps alluding her.

She remembered walking past the theater one day, hearing the performers rehearsing a song. The cast member’s voice ringing through the auditorium and spilling through the minuscule cracks beneath the door. Wan Ji recalled thinking the voice was beautiful, fitting for the role Charity Barnum. Perhaps, looking back, it would be that memory paired with her recent spat with Lu that pushed her. 

Her feet pulled her to one of the multiple spots marked on the stage with x’s and dashes. Her body then positioned itself in the starting position. The stance felt natural, as though her body was always meant to be this way. 

Tilting her head up, she felt a flash of panic constrict her. Her traitorous mind filled the empty seats of the audience with shadowy, faceless figures. Their only feature being their eyes, wide and unblinking - staring at her. She felt her chest tighten, and her breathing grow fast and shallow. Then she forced herself to blink, to tear her gaze away from the empty seats. When she looked back, the seats were once again empty. 

She took a moment, a deep breath to calm herself- ‘six seconds in, hold for seven, release for eight.’ Then the silent music began.

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned

Tied with a ribbon

Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land

To follow what's written

But I’d follow you to the great unknown

Off to a world we call our own

Flashes of memories danced across her mind, just as she danced across the stage. Her father’s disappointed face as she made a step. Her parent’s smiling faces turned to her brother with a bow. Lu’s face contorted in anger as she twirled. 

The more memories that rose from the depths of her mind, the louder her singing became. The more emotion she poured into each note. 

Hand in my hand

And you promised to never let go

We’re walking a tightrope

High in the sky

We can see the whole world down below

We’re walking a tightrope

Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?

It was near comedic how well timed it was. For her foot to get caught on a raised plank, causing her to trip and fall. Her voice cut into a yelp as she closed her eyes and braced for impact.

That never came?

She opened her eyes to see a monkey demon staring at her with wide eyes, almost as shocked at their position as she was. As if he didn’t expect to catch her in his arms before she hit the stage. The red markings on his face concealing the full extent of his blush that she no doubt knew she matched.

He broke eye contact first, looking to the spot where she tripped and mumbled something about “…I told them it need to be fixed.” Then he turned back to her and gave her a grin that was probably supposed to be cheeky, but it just looked nervous.

“…Close,” he chuckled, “but it’s more like this.” 

He pulled her up and closer to himself, so they stood in the starting position of a waltz. She looked at their positioning, then back to the demon’s face. He had that same nervous grin, and Wan Ji couldn’t help but chuckle at the turn of events. 

“I suppose I should thank you for coming to my rescue.” She said once she stopped laughing.

“A ‘thank you’ would be appreciated Lotus.” Lotus? Interesting nickname. “Well Plum, my name is Wan Ji.” A puzzled look flashed across his face, “‘Plum?’ How’d you come up with that one?”

“You smell like plums, seemed only fitting.” Then she panicked a little, “Unless you don’t like it! I’m sorry, I don’t know your name and I didn’t know what to call you, so I just said the first thing I could think of-“ “It’s fine, I like it. As for my name, it’s Macaque.” He said in a soft voice, effectively cutting off her rambling.

“Macintosh, got it.”

The demon, Macaque, barked out a laugh, “It’s Macaque. Ma-ca-k”

Wan Ji shrugged, a playful and unapologetic grin in place, “Sorry, bad with names.” 

She watched Macaroni shake his head, a small smile ever present, “We’ll work on it. For now, I do believe a lesson in choreography is needed?”

The question was painted on his face, though he did not voice it, Would you like to? His arms were loose around her, if she decided to back off she could without resistance. She felt the beginnings of stage fright well up in her again, but she stamped it down. 

“Lead the way Maestro.”

~~~

Macaque was lazing about backstage in one of the empty dressing rooms. Half-eaten plum in one hand/paw(?), script in the other. He read the lines highlighted in orange highlighter with unseeing eyes- he already knew his lines, having memorized them after the first read through. But, he didn’t have anything better to do so here he was. He guessed he could’ve gone home- being done with classes for the day, but he couldn’t not take advantage of the empty theater. Finally able to give his sensitive ears a break after sitting through lectures and hearing the babbling nonsense of his classmates. 

At least it was silent, before he picked up the sound of the doors slamming open and stomping feet. He jumped, not expecting the sudden noise as no one was supposed to be here at this hour- including himself. He thought it might have been a teacher, or maybe a custodian, but there weren’t the squeak of cart wheels, nor the click of heels or dress shoes. Which, why did all professors wear the same shoes anyways? 

He listened as the stranger’s footfalls moved down the aisles of the house, up the steps, and across the stage. They were so sure that he figured it may have been one of his fellow cast members here for extra practice. It would be interesting to watch, much more entertaining than “reading” his lines so he got up and snuck around backstage until he reached the wing. 

When he peeked his head past the curtain he- that isn’t a cast member. It was a girl, with long hair and- were those fox ears? And three tails?? She must’ve been a Huli Jing, but what was she doing here? Macaque watched her look around, she seemed just as confused as he was about her being here. Then he heard her sigh and move to one of the x’s that marked the stage. He recognized that stance; it was the starting position for one of the songs in their current production. She moved into it so naturally, as if she had done this many times- she might have. 

But then he saw her tense, eyes go wide and unblinking, staring at the empty house. Did she have stage fright? A hand/paw(???) reached up to help her, but before he could move she blinked and took a deep breath. She visibly relaxed after releasing the breath, so he put his hand/paw(?????) back down. It seemed she was going to perform, so he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed to watch.

Oh.

She was good, very good. Her dancing was graceful, each step sure. And her voice never wavered. She took breaths at the appropriate intervals, her words were enunciated, and her voice projected all throughout the house. He had no doubt that if anyone were to walk past, they would hear her as clear as if they were standing right next to her. 

The song was an emotional one. A song of a woman who lives a life with an uncertain future. In the musical, the song is performed when P.T. Barnum is on tour with opera singer Jenny Lind, by his wife Charity, who was left at home with their daughters. Her performance, was just as emotional. As though she herself was Charity, and her emotions were hers.

Hand in my hand

And you promised to never let go

We’re walking a tightrope

High in the sky

We can see the whole world down below

We’re walking a tightrope

Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?

If he hadn’t seen the frightened look on her face as she fell, he would’ve thought it was planned. Part of the heartfelt performance, one he wished he knew the cause behind. 

He hadn’t felt himself flitting across the stage, with the same speed one would use to rush backstage, to jump from one side of the stage to another during a number. It wasn’t until he felt her in his arms that he realized what he was doing, and a blush bloomed across his face. Thank the gods for his red markings that would hopefully downplay the full extent of his tomato impression.

He looked away first, back to the spot she tripped on. It was that damned plank, one that kept tripping other cast members during rehearsals, but the director was too stubborn, or cheap to have it fixed. 

“I told them that needed to be fixed.”

Remembering the girl in his arms, he looked back at her and gave her his best grin. Hopefully he didn’t look as nervous as he felt.

“…Close,” he chuckles, “but it’s more like this”

He pulled her up so they stood in the starting position of a waltz. He watched her look at their positioning with baited breath. Was that too forward? Did he just mess up? His eyes were wide with panic, but when she turned back to face him he switched back to his earlier grin. Then she laughed. It was full of mirth, and he swears it’s the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard.

“I suppose I should thank you for coming to my rescue.” She said once she stopped laughing.

“A ‘thank you’ would be appreciated Lotus.” Macaque watched her eyebrows furrow at the name, seeming confused by it. Well, if she asked him he wouldn’t know how to answer, he didn’t even know where it came from. 

“Well Plum, my name is Wan Ji.” Wan Ji, a pretty name. Then it was his turn for his face to screw up in confusion. “Plum?” how did she know he was eating one?

“‘Plum?’ How’d you come up with that one?”

“You smell like plums, seemed only fitting. Unless you don’t like it! I’m sorry, I don’t know your name and I didn’t know what to call you, so I just said the first thing I could think of-“ “It’s fine, I like it. As for my name, it’s Macaque.”

“Macintosh, got it.”

A bark of laughter escaped Macaque, “It’s Macaque. Ma-ca-k”

“Sorry, bad with names.” Even he knew the apology wasn’t genuine, but he let it slide with a smile and shake of his head.

“We’ll work on it. For now, I do believe a lesson in choreography is needed?” A thick eyebrow raised as he asked. He recalled her earlier panic before she began and kept his arms around her loose and un-restricting. Leaving the final decision to her. 

He watched her closely as she thought on his question, seeing the beginnings of that earlier panic in her eyes before she blinked, and it was gone.

“Lead the way Maestro.”

LMK role swap AU I am very tired sorry if this is dumb.

Swap where

PIF and Tang (Tang being immortal demon in this AU and PIF being reincarnation of the pilgrim)

DBK and Pigsy

Red Son and MK

Bai Hei and Mei (LBD being one of he other pilgrims in this and Bai he being her descendant while Dragon of the west sea is an antagonist and Mei is their vessel)

Mac and SWK

Mayor and Sandy

So Macaque is the one to go on the journey to the west while SWK is imprisoned as a way to release him not that SWK knows this. The one going on the journey is PIF’s previous incarnation and the others are DBK’s previous incarnation, Lady bone demon and the mayors previous incarnation/warrior. Pigsy and Tang being 2 of the antagonists they meet along the way as well as their young kid MK. SWK escaping the mountain while they group are on their journey and thinking Mac abandoned him leading to him attacking the group, Mac not being able to kill him or talk him down so sealing him away.

Not that that lasts for long the Dragon of the west sea releasing him in secret from his prison, same kinda deal with LBD only dragon making SWK give an oath or vow that binds him (SWK thinking he’s powerful enough to stop it but not being able to) while he’s out him training MK and being in contact with Tang, Pigsy also being sealed away by Mac maybe in lantern?.

Macaque staying on flower fruit mountain by himself after his group pass away. PIF and DBK being reincarnations who got together and had Red Son, them running a noodle shop in town. Red still being an inventor and Bai he being basically his little sister type friend who tags along.

Red ending up crashing into Tang and Mk’s plan to release Pigsy with spell from lantern, Red ending up being able to use lantern/shadow powers and Mac meeting and training him as his successor. Red constantly trying to combine tech with the shadow powers and Mac being like

Mac: ‘...Kid I 100% respect the drama levels and showman ship...but that is going to explode and you are going to die...and then your mom is going to find out am I am going to die’

RS: I thought you were immortal?

Mac: your mother will find a way

PIF giving the if one hair on my kids head is out of place I will destroy you speech when Mac starts training him. Mac remembering her previous incarnation and knowing she is serious.

(Mac and RS are the most dramatic duo)

Red Son and MK constantly fighting but also being super awkward one accidentally flirting with the other and then both turning into blushing messes while Bai he just stands their at the side filming it for blackmail.

PIF/DBK and Tang/Pigsy being the most love-struck flirty ridiculous couples ever, and Mk and Red son being like ‘Oh gods no please not now please were about to go into a big fight can you please please not’

Mac and SWK having dramatic reunions and Red/MK awkwardly standing to the side as they watch the miscommunication romcom of their mentors life...They do eventually reveal to SWK the reason Mac went on the journey and that he had never been abandoned...SWK wants to reunite with Mac but... well the oath doesn't make that possible at all.

Sorry if this makes zero sense I am super tired right now.

The Shadow of an Opera

(A LMK Melody AU Shadowpeach Story)

Darkness, a thing, an idea, that consumed every corner the light cannot to touch.

Cutecore, Psychedelic, Nightcore, all different subject explored by the light, while only the classics be left in the shadows. Wukong was dragged along by MK to watch a show. A Broadway show directed by a mysterious figure called ‘The Showman’. No one knew who made the line of popular Broadway shows, but the public inched to find out.

MK was very excited to watch the show, he was one of the only few people who knew the identity of The Showman. Wukong however knew nothing about Broadway, and thought of it to be boring, thoughtless, cringe-like. Wukong was never a fan of shows like this, especially ones surrounding love. Being a Pop-Star, he was always moving always singing. What could this silly show provide what he can’t?

The entire hall was crowded with long lines to even just go to the bathroom. Every red velvet seat was filled with people all the way from young to old. MK got a couple golden tickets to sit in the front. Given by the Showman himself. MK made sure he had snacks for Wukong and him as he sat down and pulled Wukong with him. Wukong plopped down on his seat as MK held up his hand.

MK: Your phone. I know you’re just gonna use it the whole time. Gimme.

Wukong let out a loud groan. As he pulled out his phone and gave MK his phone. MK’s hand remained where it was.

MK: All of them.

Wukong the let out another loud sigh as he gave MK a bunch of MP3 players, old phones, and music makers. MK smiled then turned off all of them and kept them in his bag on the opposite side, so not even Wukong’s tail could reach to sneak them out. MK then let out a small gasp as the lights went out.

A large gust of purple fog covered the stage like a clouded blanket. Then the Showman appeared. Wearing a fancy cape and a mask that covered his right eye. The light was too dim. The Identity of the man was still unknown, and even MK told Wukong not to use his golden gaze for this play. Begged him really.

Showman: Everyone. Take your seats, for tonight, I speak of a tale of a man who once lived beneath and between the walls of an old opera hall. A forbidden love that cannot become reality. Today, we will hosting a show that is not my own.. The Phantom of the Opera.

The audience clapped and cheered as the man disappeared. Wukong wondering if the man seemed familiar. His voice was very distinct. The stage came together as the play began. A couple song came by as Wukong grew a bit bored. Then suddenly, something felt off.. The main protagonist, Christine was missing. Then everything only slightly fell of script.

Then appeared the Phantom. The light still shifted away from his face, leaving his identity unknown. He then began talking to the audience.

Phantom: My beloved Christine is still gone. Where could she have gone? My love…

He then scanned the crowd, like he was looking for someone specifically, and instantly locked onto Wukong. The Phantom seemed to light up.

Phantom: Oh my beloved! There you are! I thought I lost you forever.

He then reached towards Wukong and pulled him on stage, in front of hundreds of people. Wukong’s face went pale as the light shines on his face as the classic Phantom of the Opera theme music blasted up. It was Macaque!

Macaque: We can’t have you looking like this in our Opera, Sunbite~

He snapped his fingers as the Broadway actors surrounded Wukong, singing “Masquerade”. After the crowd disbursed, Wukong was in a beautiful gown. Make up and jewelry all over him. Wukong was in shock. The audience began cheering and clapping at Wukong. Macaque held Wukong’s hand up and kissed it as he bowed. Macaque began dancing with him, waltzing. Wukong the entire time was so confused, almost catatonic. MK has stars in his eyes, gushing about how nice Wukong looked. Wukong began to worry about the people watching him. Despite being a Pop Star, he was always online and never on stage.

Macaque: It’s okay.. Just follow my lead, don’t look at them.. Only me.

Wukong hid his head on the other side of Macaque’s chest to hide a bit form the crowd, being a bit shorter than Macaque. Macaque let out a low laugh and danced with him. Singing along to the song that was playing. The entire play instead has Wukong in it, who knew none of the lines, and over time.. Wukong began enjoying himself.

The play ended in its tragic way. Wukong sat intently and watched, he began to appreciate Broadway in a weird way. Macaque went in the back where Wukong sat, the assistants getting the dress off. Macaque let out a small smile.

Macaque: Did you like the play?

Macaque teased Wukong a bit, chuckling to himself. Wukong slugged him on the shoulder hard, hurting Macaque a bit.

Wukong: Maybe let me know ahead of time, okay?!

Macaque laughed and swatted Wukong off.

Macaque: Okay, Okay! Next time…

The two sat together, reminiscing about the play, laughing with each other. Happy to be around each other again. Guess the play wasn’t so bad after all…

(This was a small little story that isn’t written the best. Though I hope you guys like it though. Also.. Here’s a challenge! I made the dress design unknown since I want you guys to come up with what it looks like! Thought it would be fun!💜)

Six Eared Macaque

You know the forbidden love trope like Romeo and Juliet or Rewrite the Stars from Greatest Showman, that’s how he’s going to act even though both you and him aren’t technically enemies (He’s dramatic like that just humor him)

There’s going to be a lot of joking around and teasing, especially about how he shouldn’t be courting you since your brother’s the oh so heroic monkey kid. “To think, the sister of The monkie kid is friends with- no- courting his mentors enemy. Hm.”

Now getting Macaque to actually trust you is going to take a bit given his past but having patience and reassuring him that you indeed love him, spending quality time with him rather than anything else. Once that’s done and he trusts you enough to let his glamour down (after much begging from you) he’s going to wish he hadn’t.

When you both met you’d always wondered what his fur felt like and you knew it was soft but actually feeling it…..Damn…It was like cuddling a cloud and you had to be pried off him, not to mention how blushy your lover was when you couldn’t stop fawning over his six ears.

The reaction you got when you got him noise canceling headphones was one of awe and shockingly a few tears, murmuring how quiet the world was, no yelling, no flinching or deafening sounds (he always keeps them on his person and cannot love you more than he already does)

Absolutely is going to be protective and slightly possessive whenever Sun Wukong shows up since there’s still some underlying tension but still makes a point to show off how lucky he is to be with you and how it’s curious that his successor’s sister is his lover.

at this point i have no idea when i’ll run out of ideas for this au. maybe when i’ve drawn every single frame. i also need to introduce y’all to the other characters like mei and azure and literally everybody else… i have a long way to go!!

ANYWAYS i realized like yesterday that i’d never drawn that scene of wukong and macaque together in that million dreams sequence when they’re younger kids and just hanging around that old abandoned mansion, thought it was too cute not to draw.

AND YOU CAN NEVER FORGET SPICYNOODLES this stuff has my heart, it is my forever and eternal brainrot. here’s another comic for them and some closeups so that y’all can take some better looks at them.

Soo- I just was looking your Parents and Kiddos Au and just get a idea with a video-

So imagine that Mei get scared with fire in the city and Macaque it's not there for her or something

She and Macaque were in the city buying food or just little walk around, Mac was buying some fruit and tell Mei don't separate from him, Mei nod but then she heard music she turn her head to the sound a there where a little show

She look at Macaque an he was distracted and she sneek to the show, and then when she was there between the crowd, the showman used a lot of fire and she got scared, then how she can't get out of the crowd she start criying and calling for Macaque like this video

idk how to continue it sorry 💀

If Mei starts to call out for Macaque while crying, the shadow demon is going to run to her. He will hold her and teleport both of them to the most secluded area he can think of, away from any possible danger.

He's going to hold Mei and do his best to comfort her.

If all of your AU Izuku's were animals (Other than a rabbit or bunny) what would they be???

Manic: Black-Footed Cat, with a 60% kill rate

Blow Dart: Coral Snake, a docile venomous snake that can be used for medicine.

Izuku Todoroki: Kakapo, which is particularly unobservant and has no sense of danger

Secret Crime: Rhesus Macaque, which steals from people.

White Haired Izuku: Samoyed, who look exactly like their parents

Love Tap: Sugar Glider, who needs a companion and will get very attached to one person.

The Showman: Peacock Spider, showy and a dancer

The first meeting in years, It was not very nice one.

Wukong feels betrayed, he was being kept as a dangerous animal while Macaque the love of his life was having the best time ever far away from him. And... He never saw him this happy in a long, long time...He couldn’t remember last time he saw Macaque having so much energy, Was it his fault? Did Macaque never felt happy around him? Was he really that unhappy in the mountain?

Meanwhile, Liu’er feels conflicted. He hasn’t heard anything about Wukong for YEARS, after the fight he tough Wukong would never want to speak to him again, and even when he came back to the mountain only to find it in ruins, the only thought in his mind was: Is Wukong okay? Where is he? Will he come back?

And now he is back, and Liu’er can only feel the trapeze slipping from his grasp  while trying to find the words, to say something, anything to him- 

then a scream... and everything went black

I believe someone ask me to do this specific scene of the movie but i don’t remember who, anyway HERE is the speedpaint
