Sleek dark autumnal hues for this outfit, pairing a bold asanoha (stylized hemp leaves) kimono, and a striking golden zakuro (pomegranate) obi.
The star is the black haori, showing crawling karasuuri (Japanese snake gourd), its leaves and fruits with inner patterns. I like how the hyotan (bottle gourd) obidome compliments the haori pattern!

Fun JTTW Text Reference for Artists
I've written at length about Sun Wukong's golden headband (here, here, here, and here). Anyone who has read the novel will know that it is used to rein in Monkey's unruly behavior through the application of pain. Such events have been portrayed by artists like Chen Huiguan in his Newly Illustrated and Complete Journey to the West (Chen Huiguan Xinhui Quanben Xiyouji, 陈惠冠新��全本西游记, 2001) and Tianwaitang in his piece Tripitaka's Curse (2010).
But I've never seen someone depict the instance with the greatest potential for an everlasting visual impact. In chapter 27, Tripitaka angrily recites the tightening spell 20 times to punish Monkey for killing what he thought was an innocent woman (it wasn't). This causes our hero's head to deform like a cartoon character!
The sight so frightened the Tang Monk that he fell from his horse. Lying on the road, he did not speak another word except to recite the Tight-Fillet Spell back and forth exactly twenty times. Alas, poor Pilgrim's head was reduced to an hourglass-shaped gourd! As the pain was truly unbearable, he had to roll up to the Tang Monk and plead, "Master, please don't recite anymore. Say what you have to say" (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 2, p. 23) 唐僧一見,驚下馬來,睡在路傍,更無二話,只是把緊箍兒咒顛倒足足念了二十遍。可憐把個行者頭勒得似個亞腰兒葫蘆,十分疼痛難忍,滾將來哀告道:「師父莫念了,有甚話說了罷。」
The original Chinese lists the "double-waisted" calabash gourd (yayao'er hulu, 亞腰兒葫蘆). I hope this gives artists an idea of what Wukong's head would look like.
I've previously noted how the novel describes Sun Wukong as an actual monkey, and it's because of this that the headband would likely rest on his eye orbits. I imagine his head being squeezed into the shape of a calabash gourd would make his eyes comically (or grotesquely) bulge, too.

I will never get over MK gagging in Calabash when Mei says she's in love with him 😂 first of all, it's hilarious, but it's also just so refreshing to have a male/female pair of main characters that draw a hard and fast line at being strictly platonic. It doesn't mean they love each other any less, in fact they'd absolutely die for each other, but as friends instead of significant others. It's just so nice to see!

I did some commission work of some amazing characters these past two weeks! Starting with the above, of Aurora Attic for @neopolitangumdrops :D
And then this beautiful, detailed, crazyhuge thing for @pan-flute-skeleton, who recently finished her Jules Seefore epic, "Swindleklok", right here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48440014/chapters/122181304
And last but not least, we have this pinup of a three-way wedding between Jimi, Pickles and Olive for @thatwritingho and @sichore :3 This is the most stylish Pickles gets, folks. Enjoy it while you can!
Now, for those of you who have managed to read all this way, a special reward: I've got a couple commission slots opening up this week, so get at me if you're interested in getting some artwork done for yourself, folks. :D

I know it was a one-off thing but I think it'd be neat if they brought back the calabash (maybe in more competent hands than Jin and Yin lmao) just because of how differently I think it could play out now
So I love 1x05 because MK was put into his "perfect world", and he just doesn't give a shit. He immediately senses something is off, knows his friends aren't okay, and then promptly tries to leave.
I think I've pointed this out before, but I go insane looking at these two scenes side by side:
MK: "Sorry, it's just- I'm just really glad none of you are perfect." Mei, Tang, & Pigsy: "WHAT!!" *they start yelling* MK: *relieved sigh* "Perfect."
(1x05 Calabash)
-
MK: "The perfect world is what you make it—so as long as I have my friends by my side, this world! Is! Perfect!"
(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)
-
And at this point, with all the attempted "perfect worlds" MK has seen, I would be super curious to learn what another trip inside the calabash would look like.
Like, he loves his friends exactly the way they are, but almost to the extreme—he doesn't want anything to change. He doesn't want his world to change. And, when it comes to having a successful attempt at trapping MK in the calabash, you'd have to put in the leg work and trap EVERYONE in there. He wants his actual friends, not imitations. But an imitated world on the other hand, that might not bug him as much...
#Here's what you do. You go into the scroll of memory#And you take the memory of the calabash out of the scroll or whatever#and then you use that#bada bing bada boom#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk parallels#lmk MK#asks#Anyone else feel like ''so as long as I have my friends by my side...this world is perfect!'' is gonna be retroactively mean#Like this feels sketchy to me.
