All I have to say about the Ninjago movie.

"I saw the Sun! The chaos! And the freedom! And I still came back! I'm done trying to be a hero..."

That line was what cemented Xiangliu (or Zhuanglun) as my favorite villain. He's just a fantastic character and I wish that I could see more about his backstory along with how he tried to escape in the previous cycles.

But I saw this guy and I needed to draw him because I can rarely find any fan art or even fanfictions featuring (or much less centered around) him which is slightly disappointing.

That's alright though because it doesn't make him any less of a good character.

Anyways, I had an idea awhile back where I imagined a story centered around MK and Xiangliu. In this one Xiangliu meets MK at the end of a previous cycle and they travel together to find the stones while Xiangliu tries his best to convince MK to not sacrifice himself, or at the very least, to postpone that for as long as he can.

It'd be kinda hard to write because figuring out Xiangliu's personality would be a challenge due to the lack of time he spent on screen. But, y'know, it's not that bad.

Regardless, Xiangliu is great and he def needs some more love and attention. I hope that he gets a chance in the spotlight in season 6.

What are your thoughts on the two other monkeys? Idk if you ever heard of them, but it's the Red Bottom Ape and Long Armed Gibbon.

i actaually had some pretty lore heavy origin story hcs for those guys a couple of years ago, but i dont think i ever posted them. ill put some of the old art here and paste the lore under a cut cause its LONG (replaced the old swk and maq in the last pic with some more recent ones bc my hcs for them changed so much lmao)

their lore was well researched i spent days on it but it was a couple years ago lmao, its based on the principals they represent plus which of yin/yang they represent

long armed gibbon- can seize the sun and the moon, distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars

gibbon was born when a seed from a fir tree fell from heaven to earth. it landed on top of an eroded mountian and a tree started growing. after several hundred years, when the tree stretched high enough and was wise enough and the pine cones had gone from dark purple to blue, the trunk split one day at sunrise on a blue misty morning and gibbon walked into the world

red-buttocked horse monkey- who has knowledge of yin and yang, understands human affairs, is adept in its daily life and able to avoid death and lengthen its life

horse was born from a drop of water flung from a trough in heavens stables (part of the reason swk was so pleased to guard the horses when he went)

when she fell to earth she became a river that people often visited and talked around and played in. from this she came to understand human affairs. she also found she could help creatures avoid death or prolong their life by feeding their crops. when she knew enough, she climbed out of the river at sundown and walked into the world

sun wukong, the wise stone monkey- who knows transformations, recognizes the seasons, discerns the advantages of earth, and is able to alter the course of planets and stars

stealing from nezha reborn where the myth goes that when nüwe patched the sky, the leftover stone was where swk came from, but im changing it to one of the tiles that was used to create the furnace was dropped, leaving a monkey sized gap where he could later on slot into to keep himself alive in there. the tile was knocked out of the basket by the wind and fell to earth and this was the only one that landed on ffm. you know the story here, he absorbed chi from heaven AND earth which is why hes so powerful

six eared macaque- who has a sensitive ear, discernment of fundamental principles, knowledge of past and future, and comprehension of all things

macaque was born very suddenly when a piece of moon rock broke off and fell to earth on a new moon. the resulting meteor created a huge and sudden flash of light in a forest which created hundreds of stark shadows at once. the shadows condensed and the resulting being wouldnt have lived if it hadnt been a new moon because he needed the next hours of darkness to collect himself into a full being. but before the night was done, a new monkey was born who was able to hear everything in the radius he had collected shadows from, which if youve ever seen a meteor flash, is a long way

somethin interesting abt the things that created them- swks tile was actually heavenly, which is why he represents primarily yang (heaven). his was the only one that was CRAFTED BY heaven. gibbon and horse are both from something that fell from heaven and then the earth changed its form (the tree grew on earth from a heavenly seed, and the drop of water became a river) whereas macaque, representing the yin is fully of earth, the meteor that created him was from heaven but he didnt directly come from the meteor, he came from the shadows it created on earth. his only connection is to the earth

Starburst!!! I love him so much and wanted to give him a proper fit, still workshopping it but I like it!! i was really inspired by the ribbons that Ne Zha has and how they’re animated in Lego Monkie kid. (flying bark studios has some amazing animation)

I like the ribbons a lot and they are just the thing I needed to give this guy a proper fit :DD

Here’s who I meant, so you don’t have to search for the reference. I’m in love with how they animated him specifically, so well done and the movement is so smooth.

id like to thank ninjago episode snake jaguar for everything but nothing all at the same time

SHE'S LIVES ON THE WHAT

[sunnnfish]

god Monkie kid discussions are off the charts insane (affectionate) like “yeah do you think [redacted] is actually the harbinger of chaos or was that just the ink demon curse playing off of their own surmounting insecurities?” And they’re talking about a guy with hands that look like this
