LMK!Monkey Smiling Headcanons

i have so much to update on my blogs 😔 in the meantime have monkey headcanons

Wukong no longer sees smiling as aggressive due to prolonged contact with humans. As a result, neither does most of Flower Fruit Mountain/Huaguoshan. He and most of the mountain only consider it aggressive depending on the context (ex. some of the older monkeys may "smile" at each other aggressively).

I think Wukong actually really likes making his human/non-monkey partner smile/laugh because he knows it's different for humans (granted, he does understand smiling can be complicated).

Macaque, however, DOES consider it aggressive. I heavily headcanon him as autistic so I am thinking he never understood when the mountain starting leaning into more human customs (this is a form of him not understanding social cues in my head).

This doesn't really change if Macaque has a human/non-monkey spouse. In the beginning of the relationship it can start a lot of fights if you smile in his direction 💀 eventually he WILL learn that he doesn't immediately have to go into fight mode, but he'll also super appreciate if you find other methods to express happiness w him :3

I also think he takes great care to never snarl/smile/show his fangs at his partner. Ever. The only exception might be if you're curious and ask to see them, but even then it can make him pretty uneasy. He'll probably do some sort of placating/submissive gesture during to further reassure he's not being aggressive.

Macaque IS an asshole, which is part of why he gets irked over smiling/bared teeth, but I think most of the time it has more to do with his trauma and his struggle to distinguish between real threats and miscommunications. He'll get there.

because of their differing opinions, MK is confused on how to act once he gets his monkey form. Macaque trains him more "traditionally" (with an emphasis on grooming, hierarchy, respect, etc.) while Wukong is more "modern" and easy-going. This also means Wukong and Macaque have gotten into some gnarly fights because Macaque has assumed MK was trying to be threatening/aggressive.

After this, MK picks up smiling when nervous/covering his mouth when smiling.

This is the first time I’ve felt warm in months

Sweet embers warm my bones

Crackling wood cradles me

Gently flames tickle my cheeks

In my death, I can offer one last comfort to you my love

Eat me

My flesh is tender like a lamb’s

My skin papery and organs succulent

I know how you grieve and starve for me darling

It’s okay, this is what I want too

Yes!

You tear open my skin

Bring me to your lips in a final act of worship

Finally we can be one

Ravenous, you swallow whole chunks

I only wish you would savor me beloved

Our lips touch in the sweetest ache

The closest to a kiss we’ll ever get

you opening your mouth to tear my lips from my face

I feel your hands inside of me

Feel you reaching up into my rib cage

What ecstasy! What bliss!

You find my heart, a delicacy I saved just for you

Your teeth sink into it, tasting the adoration I held for you

You heave your head back

Howling at the love sick moon

Don’t worry, dear

I wanted this too

The vibes I got while playing botw were so fun!! could you reccomend me ur fav Zelda games? Or just have fun explaining them? I'd love some good recs if u have time! ^^

AWAH YOU ENJOYED BOTW????? I'M SO GLAD;;; IT'S THE GAME EVER FR... I WANNA HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS SOMETIME IF THAT'S ALRIGHT;; 🥰

I'LL TRY MY BEST TO REC GOOD ONES;;!!!

Uuuuu okay so I've played every Zelda game besides the Oracle duo & the Four Swords BUT I have watched playthroughs!! Botw is a very unique Zelda game because it was created to break the status quo of the series so there isn't another Zelda game quite like it!! The others are very linear stories! So based on botw that's a hard one to follow up....

For you I think you would like Twilight Princess's vibes!!!!!! I love twpri..... It's sort of got this eerie but sacred vibe like "do not be afraid" as you get further in the game and I think the mature tone suits you! I think you would also really like Midna and the light/twilight/dark symbolism (it is a bit heavy handed since it's a rated T game lol but I enjoy it) also you are a dog in that game. :)

A Link Between Worlds might also interest you, it's got the whole mirror worlds going on and I don't want to spoil it but the story is really good imo :>> not the most complex but who cares!!! Is good!!!!!! I think you would like Ravio and Hilda :>

As for my favorite, it's Skyward Sword bec I'm a baby who likes the water colors BUT ALSO heavy religion themes and I love those >:3c Zelda becomes catholic the game but it's like. What if Jesus was your girlfriend and I love that 💞 The dungeons are also very fun especially the ancient cistern. The story is also HEAVILY important to botw's.... also my favorite Link !! Is here!!! He's so talkative and so silly just the guy ever he just loves his best friend soso much and he just wants to sleep and he's like a disney princess w/ birds and that's iconic of him <3 + The moments when he's like dead serious you KNOWW he's dangerous bec what did you possibly do to piss HIM off...... Also Zelroolink polyam is endgame. 2 me. 😌 AND THIS ZELDA??? The fans sort of infantalize her but she's so complex and interesting and tough as nails she's my gorf. GirfFriend. Hylia my loathed beloved.......

If you're okay with playing the most ugly as shit game ever, Spirit Tracks is also in my top 5 :) THE STORY IS BASIC AND BAREBONES BUT YOU DRIVE A TRAIN AND ZELDA IS YOUR COMPANION!!!!! THE WHOLE TIME!! SHE'S JUST THERE!!! NO SEPARATION LIKE USUAL!! AND SHE'S A HELPFUL QUEEN WHO CAN IN SOME CASES KILL FOR YOU AND I LOW HER SHE'S MY FAVORITE ZELDA AND HER N LINK'S RELATIONSHIP IS SOOOO GOOD HERE!! So like the black and white plot doesn't even matter bec ?? They're slaying??? And the puzzles are really fun :)

OKAY OKAY I'VE TALKED ENOUGH THIS IS SO LONG;;;;; special Wind Waker mention bec it's a perfect game but I didn't want to name all the 3D Zeldas 🥲🥲

EDIT - WAIT HERE'S ONE OF THE GOOFY CUTSCENES I WAS TALKING ABT

[cain-speaks]

i love asks :3

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

i love MK and Wukong sooo much like you can tell they love each other so much (familial/platonically, don't be freaks) and yeah they teach each other important lessons but also. i do think their relationship is unhealthy on MK's side. i think MK has latched on to him bc he's traumatized and sees Wukong as safe which is normal but it also leads him to be unable to actually criticize him. it also makes him reckless asf. MK would sacrifice his life for Wukong if it came down to it

but idk that's my opinion and probably more than a little headcanony. love the sillies

[greasergeist]

Deleted my Cronus RP blog... RIP Cronus, you will be missed. Besides, I'm not built for running an ask blog in the first place. Let alone publicly roleplay. I still do enjoy creating stuff for him.........in private. I have some ideas regarding him and the dancestors which likely wouldn't be able to see the light of day anywhere.

[cain-to-your-abel]

I don't know if asking this is sacrilegious but are cain and abel your blorbos?

first of all even if it is sacrilegious it's okay because i'm not actually religious and so would not care 👍👍

in answer to your question. wow. i've never thought about it like that but. yeah? cain is my blorbo i think... abel isn't though. i don't really think about him.

the first time i read that part of the bible it invoked such a profound Emotion in me that i didn't know what to do with myself. i felt the same sense of insanity i feel when i think too hard about any of my other blorbos (or read a particularly good fanfic). i suppose he is my blorbo.....

[depressed-fanperson]

I need to Molotov cocktail a republican

[wordspastsaturn]

don't get me wrong i need a new pfp but i am glad i'm oc posting here now because my pfp on my main blog is a little doodle my friend made of tavi so it was always kinda funny talking about how fucked up this man is and his many crimes while going:

Behold! The devil!

batfam meets the JL but it’s just the bat kids breaking into the watch tower during a debriefing or meeting to ask bruce the most mundane questions. they go about it like they’re interns that need to speak to the CEO during a board meeting. they walk over waving their hands and mouthing “i’m so sorry just need to ask batman something 😬” and then they lean over to bruce and ask something like “alfred wants to know if you’re gonna be home for dinner” and then they dip.

one of them started this when bruce didn’t answer their texts (it was probably tim or something) and now everyone does it.

DEVOURS RED SON.

I finally had time to make proper designs for the Trio!

Redson: Ver 1

Ver 2

I couldn't decide on if I liked it better with the braids or not so I just posted both, but anyways!

I gotta admit, I used to not like the idea of redson having Bull features (except for a small pair of horn maybe) but the concept really grew on me and now I really love it and wanted to try making my own design and I'm really proud with how it turned out.

I would've added more scars, since Guanyins throne pierced his entire body, but there came a point where it just looked like there was too much going on so I had to get rid of a few scars to tone it down, so we're just gonna say they faded over time, okay? Okay.

I also made him Miao (one of the largest ethnic minorities in southwest China) on PIF's side, and Mongolian on DBK's.

The Miao ethnicity of China has a long history, rich culture, and an ancient folk religion. Adorned in beautiful traditional clothes, possessing natural talent for singing and dancing, they live in uniquely designed indigenous architecture, which I think fits perfectly with how I imagined Princess Iron Fan and with her; Redson.

As for DBK being Mongolian, I saw someone else talking about this headcanon and I just liked it so I decided to use it, I don't really have a specific reason for it, I just thought it fit, not sure why though, it's just one of those things that makes sense even if you don't know why, you know?

Mei:

I made her tall and gave her a long dragon tail (like really long, it drags along the floor if she's not holding it up), though her scales are pretty much everywhere across her body they're most noticeable on her shoulders, thighs, and face (they're a bit hard to see in this photo because they're kinda hidden behind her hair, but I did give her scales beside her eyes)

I also gave her horns these little spiral designs around them, gave her sharper nails, and designed her ears to look like coral, since she's a water dragon and I thought they looked cool.

Honestly idk what else to say about her design, I didn't have anything specific in mind when designing her, I kinda just had to wing it, but I'm happy with how it turned out :)

(I also made her Bengali, on her dad's side, but it's not really important or has any reason behind it, just a headcanon I've had for a while, don't know where it came from though)

MK:

Alot of people have speculated that the monkey form we see during the fight against Azure in season 4 isn't MK's full form yet, that we're just seeing a fraction of what he's yet to become, based on the fact that while he has the weird side burns, the tail and the face marking, he also lacks a natural skin tone, they didn't give him a proper nose etc, so I wanted to play with the idea.

I decided to make him this strange mix between human and monkey, leaving him pretty much human with the addition of his tail(s), and weird li'l monkey feet.

(I was also gonna give MK more arm/leg hair, it was in my first sketch, but I forgot to add them when I was doing the line art and didn't realize until after I saved it as a jpeg, so that's my bad, but I'm gonna add it in to any other art I make)

It's also a bit hard to see in this, but I designed his staff with more details, specifically adding dragon-esque imagery to the Golden ends, this is because (for anyone who's new to the fandom/hasn't read JTTW) Wukong's staff was originally one of the several pillars that held up the sea in the dragon palace, until he stole it and shrunk it down to use as his weapon.

I also did MK's clones :)

Porty MK:

I gave him stripes of coloured hair and gave his tails all different colours, though I don't think he would actually dye it, instead I like to think that he would use that really crappy dollar store spray in hair dye (or hair chalk). I kept the fishnet clothes that I added in my originally design of him for my headcanons post, and decided to give him striped elbow length fingerless gloves.

I also gave him a cropped shirt, ripped shorts and these weird fingerless glove-esque shoes for convenience, since regular shows seem like they would be uncomfortable.

Artist MK:

For Artist MK I gave him overalls and a jacket over it, which he wears specifically for when he's doing paintings so he doesn't ruin too many of his actual clothes (I know I said that this was inspod by Circusapple, which it still is, but this is almost exactly what I wear when I'm painting too, just in different colours).

I also gave him those gloves that digital artists wear so they're hands don't accidently trigger something on the screen because everyone knows that every artist just walks around with their art glove on even when it's not necessary.

Delivery MK:

I have to admit, I was never a big fan of MK's work uniform just being his regular clothes with a work jacket thrown over it so I wanted to try and make him look a little more professional and decided to instead give him a chef coat (similar to the one Pigsy wears on the show as well), with a logo for the restaurant on the chest, along with it I gave him plain black pants, since casual red jeans didn't seem very professional (I know he's just a delivery person, but if you were to look at pretty much any food corporation, even people who do deliveries have to wear uniform, so it's always been kinda strange to me that he's just in regular clothes). 

The shoes were harder to make professional given the whole "half-monkey" thing so I opted to give him the same strange fingerless glove-esque shoes for comfort and convenience, but made them plain black as well.

I would have rooted for Chris if he'd try to shoot his shot with Lucian or even Darius or Guts but that slut is dumber than a rock.
