Where did the idea that Macaque and PIF are swirn siblings come from? I've seen it in a few other fics and while I'm not in any way against it I am curious. Is it just fannon or is there evidence for it in either the show or the original text? And how did the two of them meet in your au?

I believe it's a popular fanon idea. I think it spawned from the fact that Wukong and DBK are canonically sworn brothers, and thus Macaque and PIF would have interacted back in the day through the Brotherhood - both were/are not looked upon the best by the leaders of the Brotherhood, so they may have found friendship in one another. They are also both cool af characters that sadly never interacted in the show proper.

Macaque ( -_-)/\(-_- ) PIF: Being bad b*tches with wind powers and impulsive spouses who got trapped under a mountain for 400+ years.

In "The Monkey King and the Infant" au they're sworn/adoptive siblings due to mutual past history, even before The Brotherhood. They met as young children (an incident where little Princess Tieshan stole her big sister's bag of wind and got stranded on the moon), and later became eachother's confidants when they reunited as teens (Macaque becoming PIF's attendant). When the Brotherhood started up, Macaque accidentally introduced PIF and DBK while sneaking out for a meeting. When PIF was disowned by her family for falling in love with a demon; Macaque was one of very few from her old life that stayed by her side. They supported eachother emotionally through thick and thin - SWK being imprisioned + his and Macaque's breakup, PIF's banishment and troubles having a child etc...

Then Macaque "died".

And so PIF lost the closest to a little brother she ever had.

DBK finding out about Macaque's death (or whatever version someone spun about it), combined with Red Son being taken away by Guanyin after the Samadhi Fire ritual, is partially what drove him into a rage + his own imprisonment under a mountain. And so Princess Iron Fan was left (almost) completely alone for roughly 400+ years. It's no wonder why she fcking hates SWK's guts.

By the time of the fic start, she straight up decides "fck this I'm taking my kid back and finding a way to remove the staff. I ain't waiting around on earth alone anymore."

Then a month or so later she recieves a knock on her door;

Macaque: "Hey, jiejie [big sis]. I uh... kinda got revived???" PIF: "...how and why?!" Macaque: "No idea [lie]. Ok, long story short; Wukong knocked me up-" PIF: "THAT SON OF A BIT-" Macaque: "Yeah I was mad too. We're kinda *still* on a break right now so can I crash here until... I dunno either he apologizes, I stop being mad at him, or you know... forever?" PIF, (trying to hide tears of joy): "Forever sounds like just long enough."

The emotional reunion is interuppted by toddler Red Son charging head-first (bull calf style) into Macaque out of excitement.

After realising that his sworn uncle is very upset with the Monkey King; Red Son declares war on Sun Wukong and later secretly begins devising a plan to kidnap him and force him to lift the staff. PIF thinks its adorable how protective Red Son is over them, while Macaque is reading the kid's revenge corkboard like "Oh dang, he's really going for it. I'm so proud of him. Wait... is this what having a kid feels like??"

When SWK shows up looking for Macaque, PIF pretty much wind-fan kicks his ass straight out of the mountain. Cue Wukong thinking he has to do something; Big, Dumb, Dangerous, and Extremely Hearfelt in order to get back into both Macaque's and PIF's good graces...

Small spoilers:

Macaque, extremely touched but confused af: "Peaches, I would have accepted an apology and some flowers!" PIF, non-stop cuddling DBK since he got back: "Not me. This barely gets Wukong off my hit list."

Its a huge thing. The citizens of Diyu are shooken. By the end of it, the fam is extremely confused but happy to be reunited. Red Son declares it his first ever evil victory.

TARANTULA

TARANTULA (não confundir com bandas homônimas da Espanha e de Portugal) foi um grupo de rock norte-americano formado por Tom Grasso e Mike Edelman em Hollywood, California em agosto de 1968. Eles foram fortemente influenciados pela psicodelia da Costa Oeste e pelo trabalho de Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention. O som da Tarantula também tinha um toque de jazz, de pop e de folk-rock. Em outubro de 1968, a banda assinou um contrato de gravação com a A&M Records. A Tarantula era inicialmente um trio formado por Tom Grasso (teclados e vocais), Mike Edelman (flauta elétrica e vocais) e Maury Baker (bateria). Baker saiu logo após a assinatura do contrato e foi substituido por Steve Zwirn. Oz Bach e Thad Maxwell juntaram-se à banda logo depois. Em 1968, eles produziram um álbum e um single para A&M Records O álbum homônimo e o single foram lançados no início de 1969, e foram seus únicos registros. Os destaques da banda ficam por conta da guitarra fuzz de Maxwell, do órgão pesado de Grasso e da flauta amplificada de Edelman um dos poucos músicos de rock, além de Andy Kulberg do Blues Project, a usar o instrumento dessa forma. Suas letras espaçadas e títulos de músicas estranhos ajudaram a aumentar a mistura, mas eles nunca conseguiram alcançar o sucesso e se separaram em 1969. Depois do fim da Tarantula Oz Bach tocou com vários outros grupos, mas nem todos chegaram a gravar discos. Thad Maxwell se tornou o ex-membro mais ativo e visível do Tarantula. Em 1969, ele se juntou a seu ex-colega de banda do One Man's Family, John Beland, como baixista (sucedendo a Eric White) na subestimada banda de country-rock Swampwater. Ele tocou com Arlo Guthrie nos álbuns Hobo's Lullaby, Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys e Amigo, e com seu ex-colega da banda Swampwater, Gib Guilbeau, foi membro da banda de country-rock do final dos anos 70, Sierra. Membros: Oz Bach - vocais, baixo | Thad Maxwell - guitarra, vocais | Tom Grasso - teclados, vocais | Mike Edelman - flauta rlétrica, saxofone, vocais | Steve Swirn - bateria, percussão.

Challenge Day 258 of Year 9 Swirn had a lot of anxiety around waiting for responses from people. It didn't matter whether there was a obvious reason something would take longer to not, it always worried.

This one just needs edited!

Description:

While Lance searched, Keith turned to the others. Both Pidge and Hunk looked amused. Keith fumbled for something to distract them, and said, “So, are we all going to the Informal together?”

Beside him, Lance paused. Hunk seemed to notice but didn’t bring it up. Instead, he said, “Nope! I’ve asked Shay if she’d go with me and she said yes.”

“Isn’t Hunk awesome?” Lance said, grinning over the table at him. “He’s already got a date. It’ll just be the three of us.”

“Nope,” Pidge said. “I’ve got the academic decathlon that day, so I won’t be home till late. I’m gonna crash when I get home instead of trying to rush back to school.”

“Aww!” Lance pouted at her. “Boo. Come play with us, Pidge.”

Pidge rolled his eyes. “Whatever. It looks like it’ll just be the two of you.”

“Allura, too,” Lance pointed out. “And Plaxum, Florona, Swirn. Blumfump, Bandor and Romelle as well, actually. Rax, I guess. There’ll be a whole group of us. It’ll be great.” He glanced at Keith and Keith gave him a weak smile, unable to say that he’d rather it was just the two of them.”

Blumpfump, Swirn, and Plaxum have not stopped their conspiracy theories. It’s usually just about other matters now.
