It feels like such an unpopular opinion these days but I'd much rather a story take a big swing and miss than just be a tepid, lightly-tread path. I'd much rather writers take big risks, play with expectations, subvert tropes and ultimately maybe fail a little bit than have this constant stream of content that can be summed up in trite soundbites or carved up into 30 second clips.

Okay, I swear I tried to line and color this. I originally went into this wanting this to be a fully colored peice so it would be more visually pleasing but I just COULDN'T. My body wouldn't do it yall. I might come back to this sketch and atcually try and make it look good but today is NOT that day.
Okay onto the atcual au. (Warning: this is LONG cause I wanna talk.)
This is basically a Hanahaki Disease au. Ya know, that flower unrequited love thing? Yeah it's that.
In this au the Hanahaki Disease is not exactly a common thing, but it's kinda like a more serious illness.
In this au Wukong catches the disease. It was slow at first, barely noticeable, but one day he was at Pigsys and he threw up a white petal. Tang diagnosed this as the Hanahaki Disease.
The strange part is that the petals are white.
Normally when you catch the disease, the flower petals will be the color of your crushes favorite color. (I got this from fanfiction. Usually in fanfiction the color of the petals are the other person's color.)
At first everyone thought it had to be someone in Wukongs past that White was their color. (Much to Macaque's annoyance.)
No one, especially Wukong, can think of who it is. It has to be someone alive and that Wukong would have some kind if feeling for.
You can also catch the disease I'd your love in unrequited. So you can catch it if your crush is inlive with another or if they don't love you back. So Wukong could be inlive with someone who loves him, or someone who doesn't, it's hard to tell.
Wukong's condition slowly would get worse. Since he doesn't know who it is (he genuinely doesn't know) he doesn't know what to do.
The disease is alot slower because Wukongs body is trying to heal itself but is being taken over by the disease, it's killing him slowly.
Mk is PANICKING. He's trying to figure out who Wukong could possibly love, someone that's alive. Usually you would go off the petal color but now they can't do that.
Macaque is panicking in his own way. He's both upset that Wukong is dying and that he doesn't know WHO Wukong is inlove with. Macaque is inlive with Wukong (obviously) and figured he could be the one to heal Wukong.
But since the petal is white and not purple, it obviously can't be Macaque.
Okay that's it. I'm gonna try and make this au more solid cause here I'm kinda spitballing.
Feel free to ask questions :)
