#journey to the west tripitaka

[thechildbesuffering]

tripitaka haters, if you were assigned to deliver scriptures by the buddha himself and you were heavily against violence and a monkey comes along who is very prone to murdering and the only thing you can do to keep him from murdering innocent people is by performing a headache spell that you are well aware causes him pain you would not be talking.

I’ve been reading Journey to the West and had to draw my favorite boi

really gotta admire wukong's stubbornness perseverance tho, like man got his skull crushed by tripitaka for protecting him, and still insists on protecting him, meanwhile i get yelled at and i wanna take century-long nap for the rest of the day

You just like me, anon.🥲 As soon as someone yells at me I just blue screen and my brain says, "yeeeeah ima head out now have fun freezing up like a moron🤪"

But fr one thing I don't see people talk about very often just how strong willed Sun Wukong is simply for continuing to come back to Tripitaka time and time again despite always being physically and verbally abused for any small thing even when he’s not at fault!

Like the fillet's curse is described by Wukong as one of the worst pains imaginable. So much so that he immediately tries to bash his own head in to get it off which isnt saying too much considering who we're talkin bout and when the monk stops him by using the circlet again, Monkey wastes no time and attempts to straight up kill Tripitaka, and when that fails, he even stoops to begging for mercy.

Think about it. It makes even the prideful Handsome Monkey King push aside his ego and gravel to a mere human monk. Though I suppose Tang Sanzang IS the Golden Cicada🙄. The same Great Sage Equal to Heaven, whose body is said to be refined like that of a divine diamond from Lao Zi's Trigram Furnace and took on Heaven’s armies even before that, so you know he can take a hit. And it was even enough of an incentive to make Wukong not pursue vengeance on Guanyin for giving such a horrible torture device to the monk in the first place.

And the fact that he just keeps. Comin. Back. For. More. Absolutely BAFFLES me! He’s either the most stubborn demon to ever exist or damn near the stupidest only being beaten in that regard by anyone dumb enough to challenge this motherfucker

Ngl tho his sheer persistence makes me wonder how he’d be if he ever fell in love😳. Mans would pull a whole Ogie from the Waitress. He’d be like ong.

The height of the ‘Journey to the West’

And Wukong’s staff is 2 meters.

monkey love language

i absolutely adore just how aggressively physical monkeys can be with affection. they just fully press their heads into each other, lots of tugging and pulling, almost throwing themselves at each other when they want attention. i bet it takes Wukong some adjustment so he doesn't use his full force when he gets grabbed by the need to just squeeze someone lmao, but just as much as the others need time to get used to a monkey perched on them every now and then. plus grooming is often a bargaining chip and a way to build relationships and a show of affection and trust. so, a bit of monkey love for each of the group! :D

aaaand Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing face reveal!! working on a fullbody lineup to show off their heights as well, so consider this a teaser ;3

Bajie is half wild boar, half babirusa. I love the four-tusk situation babirusa have going on, but his bristled mane is too iconic to handwave away. plus, pigs that go feral grow tusks and thicker fur, so i wanted to capture some of that with the half-and-half design.

as for Wujing, he's a complicated one to explain, but for his face i really wanted his beard to stand out as well as the six skulls necklace. i'm going for a "intermittent waters" concept with him, since he's originally connected to a desert before being made into a river demon, so i'm drawing on mudskippers for his ear fins and face spots.

It's been a while since I made some JTTW content, I missed my favorite Murderous Monkey and his Not-so-Zen Master

Some drawings I did last night

[novelcain]

hmmm, i can imagine in days reader is particularly sick of bullshit maybe theyre giving their monthly sacrifices to the blood gods no im not projecting right now what are you talking about and tripitaka is getting on their case, probably abt buddhist virtues or something and reader just goes

"number one: im not a disciple so respectfully fuck off, number two: if you want to say something and you think ill respond in any variation of number one, just save yourself the time and dont say it because i am not putting up with this shit this week"

All I could think of was this 😂

Behold, the middle-aged Chinese protagonist whose gender occasionally changes depending on portrayal who we can all relate to and project on
