Summary:

To Macaque's surprise, MK requests a sleepover with him after their Post Season 5 party, saying he wants to learn a new power. Literal fluff and then typical MK angst. Minor Wukong appearances.

MK brushed himself off, peering around. “Okay… the super cool power I wanna know-”

Anxiety spiked in Macaque’s chest. What could MK possibly want from him that wasn’t shadows or chaos or-

“-how do you get all those little monkeys to cuddle you?”

What.

MK pointed to the monkey dozing off on Macaque’s shoulder. “See? He’s soooooooooo cute! I think the island monkeys like me enough, but they really like you! I just wanna know, you know, how to take care of them.”

His relief outpaced his confusion. He should’ve realized MK would surprise him.

“Uh, I guess I wouldn’t call it a power.” Macaque gently scratched the monkey’s head, feeling him shift slightly to be more comfortable. “This is really what you wanted? Monkey cuddling tips?”

“Yeah!” MK nodded eagerly, so excited that he pumped his fist to the night sky above them. “Let Mission Monkey Cuddle Pile commence!”

Okay sooo... I need to make another poll (this is the last one, I swear)

(This is still just a way for myself to properly plan and set the prices btw)

Now you might be thinking

"But Onik, these can vary based on where exactly you're sending the package🤨... Can you say an approximate amount of money we may consider?"

Good question! ....I don't know and it's eating me alive✌️😀

(Can you tell I don't have a healthy relationship with money??💖 Lmao)

Additional fun fact: I'm gonna be ordering the 1st batch on Friday (nov. 15)

⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ Soysauce Duo Keychain ☾ ∘ ∙ ⋅

Sooo, here's the keychain idea I posted about yesterday that I've been working on!

[fluffypotatey]

also. i was thinking abt ur analysis on soysauce duo’s relationship, and how macaroni and mk’s relationship has that more direct progression in terms of caring about each other/mentorship, and also that it gives me a very nice opening to talk about my favorite line in s4: “Nice tail, kid,” from macaque in 4x09.

just. like. that’s the first nice thing anybody’s said about this terrifying new monkey form, and it’s so important that macaque says it. in a past season, that would’ve been a taunt, but here it’s about as close to sincere as macaque ever gets, and how it shows that the character development from s3 has stuck, that he isn’t just here to be a dick. yaknow??? <- frantically gesturing at a red string board with the clown wig firmly fitted on

*nods at board and takes her own red strings from her pocket* yeah, yeah exactly

they're relationship is literally "hey kiddo" (derogatory) to "hey kiddo" (affectionate). every insult that Macky threw at MK in the past (which was really just a backhanded compliment), now hold sincerity and geniune compliments to it. and you know what? THEY'RE DYNAMIC ALSO FLIPPED!!!

like, if you think about it, both MK & SWK's dynamic and MK & Macky's dynamic have flipped. it's Macky now who's trying to reach out and be friendly with MK still distrustful and throwing barbs (which Makcy takes in stride bc....fair is fair tbh) and yeah 100% agree that Macadoo's comment on MK's monkey form being the 1st positive one is a big deal and super important.

the previous ones coming from:

Ink!MK, who used that form to highlight how dangerous MK is to his friends and the world and will be the catalyst to its end;

Sun Wukong, who ignored the issue and was trying to placate MK. which, to be fair, was needed because Mk was not in the right mind, but SWK's mitigation (i think is a better word bc Wukong did acknowledge but was trying not to make a big deal out of it) ended up aggravating MK further because, once again, he feels like his pain and issues are being deflected.

and MK's friends, Pigsy, Sandy, Tang, and Mei, who were also overwhelmed by the events but weren't even sure how to react to MK's new burst of power.

and then you have Macaroni, who, if we remember, was unaware of the events that just transpired (at least, i think he was unaware bc he made a joke about Wukong being a lazy ass, which would be a low blow if Macartney was aware of everything in 4x08). all Macackle gets is MK pleading at him to stop with the taunting and THEN JUST GIVES UP ON WHAT HE WAS SAYING BECAUSE HE'S EXHAUSTED AND FEELS USED AND BROKEN AND CONFUSED AND MAYBE IF MAC DOES TAUNT HIM AT LEAST ONE THING OF HIS LIFE IS TYPICAL AND-*gets taken off the stage*

*comes back but now covered in scratches and blood* sorry, uh, what was i saying?

ah yes,

the fact that it is Macandy who comments on it (he is shown to be shocked about it and knows that something is up) and just a simple "uh, you have a tail now," it's "nice tail by the way."

no questions about how it happened, no concern over what transpired. just an acknowledgment of it and a positive one which is the complete opposite of what MK's been shown because it is the part of him that is supposed to be bad and chaotic and the Harbinger. it can't bring good or be something hopeful....can it?

also, ISN'T INTERESTING HOW MACAQUE'S COMMENT ON THE TAIL IS POSITIVE AND NOT WHAT SHOULD BE ASSUMED OF MONKEY!MK'S PURPOSE JUST LIKE HOW MK'S PERSISTENCE FOR MACKY'S HELP FURTHER LED TO MACKY REALIZING THAT FATE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT AND SCREW THE THREADS DESTINY AND THE WORLD GIVES YOU AND-*gets dog-piled*

I hope you are aware of Macaque's actions during the series and not disregarding them under the impression of "Oo wholesome dad who just wants to keep his children safe" or some shit.

Obviously, that is not what I'm planning to go for it. The angst scales are already on 11 and I'm not stopping at anytime soon.

Under 'read more' is where I dive more into how I am planning to portray Macaque in the story;

Macaque's morals are something that Will be questioned in the story. As while on one side, Qiū Zi's lack of a parental/proper adult figure does affect her on terms of trusting people who seem to want to help her but don't know how.

His main goal in making Qiū Zi as his student was to drain her out of her powers and just kill her to make sure none is left. I've stated this a couple of times during my previous posts, as it ties to his og plan during S1 EP9 of LMK.

However, this plan was quickly cut short after a few more incidents involving the kid and how negative the curse actually affected its hosts, Regardless whether they are familiar with the powers or not. Which kinda made him sympathize with her and try to help her heal instead, especially when the curse Did get worse and became an actual threat to Qiū Zi's life.

Bro did Not want to die a second time again. Nor did he want her to experience it (guess who failed at one of those two)

Does this explain things? Ehh not fully, I am trying to hold my mouth until I can actually start with the story making.

On another Note!

I am taking elements from Other fictions on the web , so if I say that Macaque's demonic nature got in the way and made him protective of Qiū Zi later on in the series then guess who got inspired by a certain soysauce duo fanfic.

It has been majorly characterized (HC) by the fandom that Macaque comes as a natural baby sitter and knows how to take care of children, esp the baby monkeys in ffm. Also seen in the S4 specials.

I hope this explains stuff. If there are more questions then feel free to let me know. My asks are open in regards to story making.

You are the first person ive seen who didnt like season 4. Most people ive seen loved it (including me, its personally my favorite). Was there anything of it you enjoyed?

I liked it at first, too! But...y'know, I'm a critical person. And a fixer. That's my personality. I like picking things apart.

I liked a few things.

Sunburst duo fighting together

Soysauce duo moments when Macaque gave advice

MK and Mei meeting Azure

Azure and Monkey!MK fight

Shadowpeach moment in the scroll

Ao Lie episode

And that's kinda it for me?? I liked a few jokes. And I like the Brotherhood I just..mmm i wanted more time. I wanted more development and I just. Knowing Azure's gone now I'm just...I thought he could've been a little more. He had more to give, I feel. But! We move on. Season 3 is my favorite!!

[night-faye]

You have gotta love Macky going all of S3 saying flat out "haha yeah I already died once lol" "bruh I wanna get AWAY from her" "you see, the tax revenue service of the dead is after my tush now" "leave me alone I don't wanna deal with y'all rn" "I'm just a monkey~ and LIFE IS A NIGHTMARE 🎶" <- I joke, but you'll see what I mean by the time this season concludes. And apparently everybody but MK is blind because he's one of the most hated villains 😂 sadistic murderer who enjoys this or something and has never faced consequences in his life how dare he. So funny, have they ever seen an animanga villain. Macky is the poster child for unwilling henchman, he's getting treated like a LOONEY TUNES VILLAIN he is Team Rocket blasting off again. He is getting the floor WIPED with his fuzzy behind, blub has been taking nothing but Ls this season those are consequences 🤣 you just can't take him seriously if he's falling off a ship and doing a cart wheel on his magic hover bike. I said it before and I'll say it again, take a sip of water everytime he gets hurt/triggered/traumatized and you will be SO HYDRATED. Btw, Mac + MK is called SoySauce Duo. MK + Wukong is called SunBurst Duo. ADORE the names. Mei + Red Son is, well idk their platonic duo name but they are called Dragonfruit. Wukong throwing NOTHING but shade at Macky who will actually deny going through the horrors as much as he will confess to them is just *hiss growl.* Same reaction! BUDDY ily but MAN what kind of divorce did you have 😂 oh I should note this down so I can bring it up to you later :) it's quite *gets dragged off stage* if you like that screenshot, I can promise worse is to come :) :) :) idk even in S5 its like people love Macky being submissive and subdued and tied up. Which is REALLY FUNNY considering his old personality 😂 he grew a spine, let him keep it. Are the AUs you're cooking by any chance including one where LBD really does erase memory of Macky from everyone right after he's fully redeemed himself and gained friends and family ;) OP I am SHAKING YOUR HAND because all these lines were ALSO more than I could've ever hoped for. After the way fandom treated villains in other series seeing Macky was like "omg are you FR" this was a guy deserving of all those meow meow comments <-- in a very serious 6 year fandom war splitting critique professional essay analysis way, but nada. 💀 its super funny bc if it's not hating canon Macky, it's hating JTTW Macky as if show!Macky was the same character. you gotta LOVE begging for people to read the source material in a fandom before coming up with wild takes, and then finding a fandom where people DO read the source material but. not like that. it's not an adaption like an anime to manga asdfghjkl.

It's like Macky was made in a pot just for meeeee~ (Once again. Botanicallyinclinednerd will tell you: I have a Type™ for favorite characters. it's predictable as hell and I CANNOT ESCAPE. And Macky fits right in with it to an absurd degree it's actually kind of insane)

I absolutely love those duo names. and oh my god DRAGONFRUIT? Adorable. perfection

They're like a sonnet. they rhyme

one of those AU's wasn't but it is NOW holy shit. delicious fucking food. that falls right in line with other shit I have ABSOLUTELY pulled. hehehHEHEHEHEHhHHEHhheheHEHHEEHE
