#burnt marshmallow!monkey king au

[angstandhappiness]

LMAO nice image

So I just thought of a scene in the burnt marshmallow monkey king au where the gang is in some sort of danger, and mk, in a moment of desperation picks up wukong and carries him like a football, cause he’s like four feet tall, and just BOOKS it

Wukong: do I weigh anything to you?

Mk: nah, it’s just like holding a bag of grapes

Wukong: >:(

Mk wouldn't even get the chance to, straight up, Wukong would scoop Mk up and book it and you'd just have the visual of

carry ur son to safety day--

The idea of Wukong letting himself be more chaotic in @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off ‘s Burnt Marshmallow!Monkey King Au has been running around in my head and I love it.

@ninja-knox-ur-sox-off I have no idea how I did this but enjoy~

LMAO cute

So it’s like 4am but I was thinking

Since Wukong uses glamor to make himself taller and he’s actually rlly smol, literally everyone in the crew can pick him up and hold him gently JSHSJSJ

Wukong is an certified Manlet™️

God, now I’m just seeing him perching on Sandy’s shoulders like Mo does, just-

“Why is he up there?”

“He likes to be tall”

“I AM KING OF THE WORLD” >:D

Sorry, I’m rambling ^^’

It's funny cause he's a hold gently size now, but like, no matter anyone's size they're always a carry size for him bLGAMWE

I actually adopted the hc of Wukong hanging out on Sha Wujing's shoulders all the time back during the journey so the idea of him doing the same and chilling on Sandy is actually such serotonin for me bLESS BG;LADKMFA;WOE

Monkey King getting back in touch with his chaos side (dw he's just having fun) ksksdfjlsd;jfsdl

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

What?! You're telling me Wukong's glamour essentially gives him stilettos?! He's actually shorter than MK?! I'm weak 🤣

#OH NOW MY BRAIN'S TRYING TO ANALYZE THE WHOLE 'WORST QUALITIES OF SWK' THING

#cause hey unless it's therapy don't people tend to ignore their bad qualities unless they become a real problem to them or the people

#around them?

Been wondering about Macaque in the burnt marshmallow au. Like did he see Wukong pre-super glamour? Or would he roll up, ready for a brawl, only to find this charred-ass gremlin? Nothing throws your battle game off quite as hard as the whiplash of learning the 'invulnerable' Monkey King isn't so invulnerable.

WELL FUNNY STORY ACTUALLYGBKAMWOE I haven't really thought about Macaque and Wukong's dynamic outside of interacting with friends AU's n stuff so I'm not sure what'd be like in this AU or how Macaque would react bKMASODFA

I have been wanting to give a shot at like, making a design for Macaque but honestly he just isn't as big of a character in my head as of right now aside from analyzing and making fun of him gbfdskfmowe

Anyway, regardless of dynamic, if he saw beforehand, I don't think he would really remember or care about swk's appearance

and if he saw it out of nowhere on a day he rolled up to fistfight the Monkey King, I'd say... surprised? Ur right about his battle game being thrown just a little, but after the initial whiplash he'd probably just go on as usual with the addition of making fun of his new appearance and stuff "Aww, did you get a haircut?"

If it was like, after a bit of redemption or whatever, he'd probably slow down a bit, extending the surprised period cause he ain't in a rush to fistfight, but like, again, right into insults and making fun of him for it because bruh that's a whole new arsenal to get under his skin and annoy him, especially if he was hiding it, and you bet Macaque's gonna tackle the heck out of that--GW;ELKFMAEW

I think the harshness of the insults would depend on where they were at in their redemption arc too. ranging from the haircut thing to full out "how's ur student feel about his oh so perfect mentor looking more like a monster than the actual demons?" and stuff like that.

anyway tho, since haven't figured out when this takes place in canon or what the backstory and dynamic is, its hard to say ghdjfjkl;asdfasjdf

One of these days I'll give Macaque's character more attention, but apparently today is still not that day bGKAWMEOF

Bonus: 

 the "charred-gremlin" bit of ur ask gave me an idea so you get a probably non-canon doodle

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

(Ok so ik I’ve been annoying with all these asks but hear me out on this)

I’ve been thinking about Wukong touching something soft for the first time in centuries after his glamor went down and I have thoughts (and tears) about it :’D

Just-

Mo being the best therapy cat and trying to comfort him and Wukong just sits there and silently starts petting him (not noticing the few tears that are slipping out hhhhh)

As an ND person Good Textures™️ are my blood and soul and goddamit this monkey deserves an Good Touch after centuries of having none

Anyway yea, cats are amazing and thinking about Wukong touching something somft for the first time makes me a good sad

(I am so normal about this au hhhhhyyyep :’D

BruntMarshmallow and Dad in Training give me sm serotonin JSJSJSJ

Have a good day ur amazing bye)

I need you to know I sent this to like four people, rambled about how much I loved it and this scene is now included in the notes of my fic (with ur permission i would love to use it), YOU DUDE HAVE AMAZING TASTE I AM YELLING /POS /POS BG;SALKDNFMHGOIAWMEF

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

Hello!

I drop by to tell you that I love your AUs and especially the Burnt Marshmallow!Wukong! He's such a sweet gremlin, and I love his design. I'd like to give him gentle head scritches.

I hope you have a nice day.

WBSADLKM THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Burnt Marshmallow!Monkey King is definitely one of my faves as well! He'd either freeze for twenty minutes minimum or straight up pass out if he got head scritches bGKMOAWEF

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

Sooo~ I’ve been trying to find the Burnt Marshmallow! Sun Wukong fic and I still can’t find it. Is it ok to ask if you know where it’s at? You do not need to answer. I going back to digging for info. Okie Byeee~

[angstandhappiness]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MORE PLEASE

What is the "burnt marshmallow" LMK AU I've been hearing about?

Burnt Marshmallow!Monkey King AU is basically just a mashup of a couple of hc's and a design I have for Monkey King. Tumblr is being a jerk so I can't just link you some explanation posts so I'm just gonna have to summarize

Headcanon 1: Fire

In jttw the only thing that's really ever hurt Sun Wukong is smoke and fire. He's been burned quite a lot, by the Samhadi fire, lost his sight for a bit due to smoke in his eyes, and way back during the Havoc in Heaven he was actually burned in a furnace for forty-nine days. I created this design (1 2 3) thinking about the results of that that maybe he never fully recovers from that. When he gets out of the furnace it even talks about him having glowing red eyes. I just had the thought of "what if that was more permanent" to the point where his fur never grew back the same way and the areas around his eyes were kinda charred and blackened because they're the most venerable part of him. (Hence the Nickname “Burnt Marshmallow”)

Headcanon 2: Glamours

I was thinking about how, he'd hide his appearance in canon, and in order for glamours to be convincing, he'd have to have some physical substance to them so that people could touch them and not immediately know it was just an illusion. Like if Mk were to reach out and touch his head he'd be able to feel how weirdly course and spiky feeling his fur is in contrast to how soft and fluffy it appears to be, he'd know somethings up. So I hc glamours act as a physical shield between the user and those around them. 

Headcanon 3: JTTW 

So I actually hold the hc that Tang Sanzang (Tripitaka) was actually afraid of Sun Wukong. (Which, y’know, kind fair. He watched him throw an entire mountain, run at the speed of sound, fly around on a cloud and insta-kill an entire group of bandits with no remorse (and maybe even some glee) in the first day of knowing him so... bGAKWMEOF) Anyway, add on the hc of my design for Wukong, and this monkey is one of the most demonic, terrifying things you’ve ever seen. As the Journey goes on Wukong gets enough self-awareness to realize Tang Sanzang is afraid of him, (which i actually hc as to why he listens to Zhu Bajie more and is so quick to punish and scold Wukong for things) and starts applying glamours little by little to make himself less terrifying. Dulls his teeth, slowly makes his fur change colour, changes his eyes to gold, a more friendly, good looking appearance, gradual enough that he makes it appear natural and if anyone asks he just says his fur’s finally growing out 

Conclusion: 

Burnt Marshmallow!Monkey King is an AU about how Monkey King is traumatized as heck, is hiding his true appearance and who he is behind a perfect hero persona because he believes he has to in order for people to feel comfortable around him or for him to be treated kindly/loved. He’s also the most touch starved version of Monkey King because after 500 years under a mountain + glamours that prevent people from touching him, he hasn’t actually had physical contact with anyone for close to a thousand years, maybe even more. So like, the moment someone makes contact with him without his glamour on he just shuts down completely, which becomes a problem during battles when his glamour is off. He barely remembers what he actually looks like and wears his glamours constantly out of habit, and not a single person knows about it. 

Then Mk and the crew find out. 

So it’s basically just a bunch of my hc’s building up until it was an AU of it’s own lol. I’ve made lots of posts about it, but unfortunately Tumblr’s the worst rn and nothing shows up when I search the tag so :’) hopefully this gave you the general gist of it. I’m currently writing a fic about this and it’s taking shape very nicely ngl, very angsty, lots of recover, and deals with a lot of Wukong’s suppression of certain aspects of himself and things bubbling over the top. And then just... him learning that there are people who won’t be scared of him no matter what he looks like, and that they’ll love him regardless, and that he doesn't need to change specific things about himself to make himself lovable, he already is. but yeah. Just Mk and the crew helping him work through a couple thousand years of trauma WOOOO BGAS;LKDFMAOWE 

My favourite part of the fic so far is when he climbs a tree :P

Unglamored Wukong looks like a lil gremlin creature and I love it❤️

He truly is BGA;LKWMWOEF

Story idea for @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off ‘s burnt marshmallow!monkey king au

on their journey the group comes across a town that seems pretty ordinary at first glance, but upon walking into it they find out that they have a “no glamor policy” because of several incidents in which people disguised themselves as someone else to either rob or steal said persons place in their lives. so fun stuff really

This normally wouldn’t be a problem for the group, since neither one of them wears a glamor, everyone except for wukong, who upon hearing about this breaks into a cold sweat. Bonus points if wukong can’t enter the town cause of the fact that there’s this dome like force field around the town :3c

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

Hello I was the Anon that was asking about Burnt Marshmallow! Sun Wukong. I’m so sorry! I mean where the fic of this is at, or if you have a link. Once again I’m sorry for not being specific lol.

Ayo no worries buddy! I think I kinda got what you meant but just wanted to be sure <3

And I'm afraid you've dropped by a bit earlier for a fic! It's currently in the works! Burnt Marshmallow!Monkey King is actually just an AU of mine at this point, made up of a collection of hc's and posts and a couple pieces of art that I've made. I can't link u any of those unfortunately cause Tumblr won't let me find said posts rn :'D

The fic (which I am indeed writing) at this point is more of just small notes and a couple summaries of scenes half-written as I slowly piece together the story, so it's gonna be a bit before it's finished lol

I appreciate the interest though! It'll be a wild ride when it is completed bGKAMOWFE
