Home Sweet Home: Year 2088

Part 2:

""Sir, supersonic travel commencing in 20 seconds."

I can feel the vibration and the engine firing up. I havent' flew in years.

"going supersonic in 5,4,3,2,1."

For a moment, there was only silence inside in my mind—a rare pause. I can hear a voice, I am solwly gaining my memeory... It was my mother’s voice, I can amlost remeber her face.. the aroma of broth her ramen shop on a cold night in Kowloon where I would go after school. Everything is coming back to me but slowly, and in vague.

Home, here I come. I closed my eyes TARS took off into the stratosphere

“Sir, please sit tight . atmospheric anomaly detected. Slight turbulence expected. Adjusting course. to South West now.”

It is bad, the air pressure is extremely volatile, I am slowly losing oxygen in the vessel. I started to pass out minute by minute. Mum showed up again but this time she was waving to me, welcoming me home as she opened a door in the distance. I started waling closer and closer, try to grab a hold of her.

Boom! A blast woke me up. I am back at the Vessel.

"Sir, we are getting hit by an unknown anti air canons ! Please sit tight. Activating flares , shield system is at reduceed to 60%."

Ackknowleadging the potential threat of getting shot down in the unknow airspace. I closed my eyes to try to see mum again. Next time I woke up, TARS was slicing through layers of dense cloud. I can see it. The glow of neon lights visible through the the window. It is Hong Kong’s iconic skyline —a sea of buzzling lights pulsating with life.

(image credit)

“Sir, I am glad you are safe. You had a nasty hit in the head at the backseat from the blast. I am glad to inform you we are now at the safe zone.We are approaching the coordinates. ETA in four minutes thirteen seconds.”

I glanced at the TARS's GPS, the digital map showing us hovering above the skyline of Hong Kong.

The ship began its descent, the engines stops its hum and comes troa complete stop. I disengaged autopilot and took manual control, maneuvering the ship into a narrow landing zone. alomst crashing into buildings in the densely populated city. I gently deployed the landing gear and the craft settled with a soft thud.

"You have made it sir, safe jorney ahead. Also sir, please keep off the restricted area marked on your watch's gps. I have marked out the area where there are still anti-air land guns and land mines active all around the city."

I thanked TARS and slowly lifted the vessel's door . I am home I sighed, I feel like walking through a dream..

My TOP of character prosthetic makeup of Monkey King (from movies and series I watched)

1. This one is perfect! It have all, what this character must have: fur on all body (including neck and fingers) and face (including cheeks), dynamic tail (visible throughout most of the movie) and fangs. They made him very detailed and awsom!  

2. Another perfect work. The only complain, that his tail was only at the beginning of movie and than was hidden through the rest of movie (same in both movies with Aaron Kwok as MK).

3. This series have cheap special effects and cheap prosthetic makeups of monsters and creatures, but Monkey King is good enough. He is cute and funny. This version lacks only tail and fangs.

4. I like this one also. He looks cool and fearsome. But also lacks tail and fangs, and appears only at the end of movie. The rest of movie he have human appearance but actor is pretty nice 😊.

5. This one is played by Miu Tse is in several movies and series. He looks like human in most of them (the actor is pretty handsome 😁). But as a monkey, some makeups variations are not very good quality. I chose screenshot of most nice variation. In my opinion it lacks fur on cheeks and also lacks tail and fangs (in one movie he have fangs, but too big for a monkey...).

6. This one is nice but not very. I like his hairstyle and face (it lacks a little bit fur on cheeks) and actor is nice. But in other, this makeup is not good... He have no fur on his body (including neck), he have fur only on cuffs... he looks like trimmed poodle 😅... also no tail and fangs. And this series is awful... I watched only 12 episodes and 2 last ones and I regret that I watched it... it is full mess...

7, 8, 9. I don't even want to say much about these ones...

7 is not very bad, I don't like his braided beard also lacks fur on cheeks and no tail and fangs. This look appears only at the end of movie for a few minutes and then disappears at the very end (most of movie he looks like human)...

8 is bad enough. He have mustache not in a place 😏. And appears only at the end of movie for a few seconds... no tail and fangs.

and 9 is very bad (but not worst)... face prosthetic are not good... they ruined his lips and have visible junctions and it seems that prosthetics are glued bad... no tail and fangs.

P.S. And yes, I like this character very much! 😁 Don't judge me...

✨️ 10 characthers, 10 fandoms, 10 tags ✨️

I was tagged by @nikosaurushex, thank you soo much, this was very fun : )

1. Alphonse Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist

Look at this baby!! He is such a good boi, he is the most inocent, sweet, giant baby boy to ever exist!! He deserves everything in this word and more. I love him soo much.

2. Akira Ono - Hi Score Girl

Another baby who deserves every good thing in the word. She chooses her game characthers based in wich one is less played with! She cares soo much about everyone. I really love her. Also I love how even though she doesn't speak she is still understood and very expressive and no one thinks less of her for it. Ono is the best.

3. Blitzen - Magnus Chase and The Gods Of Asgard || Riordanverse

To choose only one Riordanverse characther was really painfull. But if I didn't, I would had dedicated half of this thread to different riordanverse sagas. So instead I choose the one of my favorite characthers that does not recieve as much love as he should. Fashion Dwarf Dad is amazing!! We need to talk more about him. His sass, his criativity, how he never gave up, how loyal he is... I could compliment him forever. Even his mommy issues are great. I love him. Fashion Dwarf Dad is the best!

4. Clare Devlin - Derry Girls

I identify soo much with this anxiety ball, she cares about everything and everyone to the point of being a problem and I really want to hug this wee useless lesbian soo bad. She is my ficcional little sister and my favorite characther in a show where all characthers are amazing.

5. Sunny Baudelaire- A Series of Unfortunate Events (both bookerverse and seriesverse)

While it was hard to choose only one Snicketverse characther to put here my choice was made by too words: badass baby. Sunny is amazing, she is a force of nature and if she can already do soo much as literal infant I'm sure adult Sunny will just conquer the wolrd. This girl can do annything!! And I'll support anything she does.

6. Edward Nygma (Riddler) - Adam West Batman.

I promissed myself I would not put a Riddler in this list. It lasted like twenty seconds most. Ed is my problem child and I love him.

I choose Adam West Batman's Riddler because I'm also a Gorshin fan and I will hype this man acting anytime I get the chance. He is soo good.

(Since I promissed I would use only one Riddler, because otherwise this list would only be Riddlers, I will give Batman Unburied Riddler a small footnote here, because aaaaaaa reasons)

7. Frida - Hilda

Okay maybe is because I'm indecisive, but that was such a hard choice. I wanted to add a Hilda characther but they are all soo good. So I chose my girl Frida, cause she is great. I love all the episodes that focus on her and her jorney to became a Witch is very good.

8. Eda Clawthorne - The Owl House

I'm a very huuge Eda stan. I once got a chance to choose any fictional characther to do a college presentation (an psychological analysis) on and I choose Eda. She is great. I love her soo much. Chaotic Mon is the best.

9. Sakura Kinomoto - Cardcaptors Sakura

The ninith characther in this list was a complicated choice. TBH, this was my tenth choice, but I putted the ninith one at ten because they have no image.

So I had a lot of characthers and only one space. I swear I changed the characther like five times but in the end Sakura won. This anime was very important to me when I was little, all brazilian dubbed episodes of the first season in good quality were on YouTube at the time (and you could illigaly dowload the rest). This girl made me feel wonder in a way I can't describe, she still does. She makes my hearth warm.

10. Tamika Flyn - Welcome to Nightvale

I love everyone in Nightvale, all citzens of that weird little city and specially Cecil and the faceless old woman. But I choose Tamika because she was a child revolutionary, a monster slayer and a bookworm and she grow to be a concilwoman and to be there trying and suceeding in making a difference. Tamika is amazing and to listen to her grow was great and people should really talk more about Tamika!

No need to do the challenge, but here is my friendly fun tag: @sillymanwithocs, @lesbian-in-leather, @pharoahkittylover, @the-goodfellow-bard, @dreamerinasmallworld, @fatgumsupremacy, @selenophilenova, @decadentturkeycashroad, @sevenseasofthigh, @i-hate-liking-batman

[princess-of-the-corner]

Didn't expect Rabbids of all things to have a game with charecters inspired by Jorney to the West

I oddly enough have a good handful of nickels for every time a series references that story

[angstandhappiness]

SO PRETTY

Figuring out a human-like appearence for ao lie i guess.

[winterpower98]

Ok but what if the Traffic trio go back in time and meet the Jorney to the West crew?

This is the Time-traveling shenanigans I was waiting for LET��S GO! (I haven't finished the book yet, I'm just at chapter 14, so the JTTW crew might seem a bit OOC)

Ok, first of all, let’s say that the Traffic Light Trio meets the JTTW gang after they had to deal with Red Boy (I’ll call him that for now just so it’s easier to tell him apart from RedSon).

So our band of colorful kids finds themself pretty much lost in what looks like a forest with no idea of when they are. They opt to walk around for a bit in the hopes of finding something that might help them, and they do find someone.

Not too far away from where they appeared there’s a camp with a water demon and a pig demon bickering amongst themselves and a meditating monk.

Surely these aren’t the same monk and demons that traveled west with the Monkey, right? Aaaaaaaannndd MK is already gone talking to them. Great

The monk and the demons are startled by the new human but, thanks to MK’s charm, they quickly fall into a pleasant conversation.

“What bring you here in the middle of the woods young one?” “Oh, me and my friends, we ... we’re traveling to a nearby town! Yup, that’s it!” “And where are your companions?” “They’re ... looking for food”

So now Red and Mei are left hiding somewhere (there’s no way in hell Red is going anywhere near the monk, especially because he couldn’t see where the monkey was) while MK happily chats with the pilgrims.

Meanwhile, hidden by the tree’s fronds, the Monkey King silently observed everything happening. He saw the three younglings appear out of nowhere and he saw the demon and the girl hide not too far away from their camp. The only reason why he didn’t spring down and took care of the demon yet was because of the young boy that was chatting with his master.

There was something about the kid's aura that was so familiar. Almost like looking into a mirror, but not quite like a reflection.

So, now truly curious about this kid, the monkey jumped down from his hiding spot and in front of the boy.

Now, the first reaction that the monkey expected out of the kid was panic, but what he got instead was eyes full of admiration and his name pronounced without any fear.

So this kid not only knew who he is, he's not scared of him? Well, there's a first time for everything.

And the Monkey wasn't the only one surprised by the boy's odd behavior, his gleefulness did not go unnoticed by the other demons and the monk (who already knew this was going to bost the monkey's ego by several times and would probably cause some problems).

Wukong, now truly amused by the kid's antics, asked him to call for his friends and MK's happy-go-lucky attitude was quickly replaced by hidden panic.

He knows that Monkey King and his companions had to fight RedSon and would surely recognize him even if he's several centuries older now. The problem is that he doesn't know if the pilgrims had already fought Red or not, and now that he thinks about it he should have tried to gather that information while he was talking to the monk.

So now MK is trying his best to come up with an excuse as to why his friends couldn't come to meet them, and he was utterly failing!

Seeing that things were going downhill for her friend, Mei decided that they might as well be done with it, and went up to the camp dragging behind a complaining Red.

As soon as the green girl and the fire demon were in sight, the pig and the fish took a defensive stance while the monk became several shade paler. The monkey, on the other end, kept looking rather amused.

"What are you doing here? I thought Guanyin had looked you up somewhere. Don't tell me she let you out on good behavior?" And before Red could spat out some insult at the monkey, Mei slapped a hand over his mouth and answered for him. "Yup! Red here is been a really good demon! He's hanging out with us now!"

With everyone a tad bit calmer after Mei's lie, the two groups sat at the opposite sides of the camp and kept for themself.

Now, after the whole incident with the young version of the Traffic Light Trio, the two mortals and the demon find out that the artifact that allowed them to go back in time needs a whole day to recharge before it could be used again. Which meant that they had to wait till the next night before they could go back home.

Be in the past for a whole day wasn't a problem for MK, the change of seeing his idol in his glory days was too good to past, but Mei and Red were less thrilled about it. Zhu Bajie had been looking at Mei since she set foot out in the camp and, while she wasn't exactly new to this type of attention, she definitely wasn't a fan of it. Red was currently having a glaring contest with the Monkey King, Wukong's gaze clearly saying "try anything funny and I'll make you taste my iron rod" and Red responding with a "fuck you" look.

The air was dense between the two parties and it stayed that way up until everyone went to sleep.

The next day the JTTW gang set to travel again, followed by the two mortals and the demon, in silence.

But the silent peace was interrupted in the afternoon when demons decided to attack the traveling group with every intention of kidnapping the holy Tang priest.

Mei and Red had no problems defending themself, one with her jade sword and the other with fire, but MK was not doing so good.

Since they met the pilgrims MK did his best not to use any of Monkey King's powers, because he didn't know if it would mess up with the flow of time if his mentor find out he had a successor before he decided he wanted to retire.

So he was now fighting with his bare hands and he was getting quickly tired out.

Red: Noodle boy what are you doing! Use the staff! MK: But, Monkey King- Mei: We'll deal with him later!

And so, the Monkie Kid manifested the as-you-wish cudgel and set off to fight again.

Now, the appearance of a second golden staff did not go unnoticed. It distracted Sandy so much that a demon manages to get a lucky hit on him, but he was quickly killed by the fish.

After the fight was over, and the demons that weren't killed run away, the monkey approached the MK.

The soon-to-be mentor standing right in front of his successor, like a specular image, and asked him why he had an identical version of his golden cudgel.

Knowing full well that lying to Wukong would be futile (if not extremely stupid) the kids had no other choice but to tell them the truth.

And so they explained everything, from MK becoming the monkey's successor, to Red joining their side, and the artifact that led them here.

The monk and the pilgrims listen to them intently, but they didn't truly believe the story these kids were telling them.

When the Traffic Light Trio was done explaining their story, Wukong started to laugh. And not because he didn't believe them, on the contrary, he was sure that 99% of what they told them was true! No, the Monkey was laughing because "he wanted to retire". That had to be a joke right? Why the hell would he ever retire!?

After the monkey's laugh finally subsumed both parties started to happily chat, with the pilgrims asking questions about the future and the youngest three doing their best not to answer those questions.

But sadly, the time artifact was finally fully charged and it was time for the Traffic Light Trio to go back home.

So after some quick goodbyes and farewells (very quick on Wukong's part) the two mortals and the demon grab a hold of the artifact and get transported back home.

Several days after their little trip back in time, MK can't get Wukong's words out of his head. "Why would I ever retire?"

With time people can change and MK knows how much the Monkey King changed during his journey west, but there was a weird feeling that went along with the words the young monkey spoke, and he couldn't stop thinking about it.
