Not gonna lie, as much as I like that Monkie Kid deviates from JTTW to kinda be its own thing... I was kinda disappointed with who they picked as his sworn brothers, Macaque included. I do love the call backs to some villains in the original but I was hoping for his sworn brothers to be the same as JTTW or at least much closer to them (that and I've become a fan of the idea of the Macaque king not being Six Ears, or being more of a Queen than a King, during the hiatus). I'm still happy to see more of what Macaque and Wukong's relationship and hope we get more explanation as to what happened. As you said, we have yet to get Wukong's side of things and I want that CONTEXT so bad. (I am unsure if mind control had anything to do with it because of the Amnesia episode. I could be remembering wrong but he seemed like he was legit friends with Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie right?)
You've also mentioned before how it's very much becoming a "Wukong is a horrible person and everything is his fault" theme which, while he's not perfect, I'm really not a fan either. We need his side or all of this is just one sided bullshit. It's getting old, honestly.
I still love Qi Xiaotian, so I'm gonna watch to see how he grows. But damn. Give Wukong some joy and let him keep it, jeez.
Monkie Kid spoilers below:
aawergaerdsf YEAH @ladyzerodark every day I long for a JTTW retelling that uses the potential of the Monkey King's sworn brothers from the og classic like there is so little information about them outside of the Demon Bull King that the book is basically handing creators free ocs. As it is I've seen people go back and forth about whether the Macaque Demon King was a lady or not, but from what I understand even that might depend on regional differences in understandings of who that yaoguai was. Even the different translations of the Anthony C. Yu version present them in different ways, which needless to say makes thing even more confusing if you're trying to establish a baseline of what the sworn brothers were like. But besides that I think it would be cool to see SWK have some genuine monkey friends in the Macaque Demon King and Snub-nosed Monkey King who were actually his friends in Wu Cheng'en's work instead of his evil twin who hates his guts getting shoved into that role (X_X).
But yeah there's still a lot of unanswered questions about went down from the Monkey King's perspective buuuuut personally I still feel like this presentation of Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque being the closest of friends is giving me whiplash given that Macaque despised Sun Wukong so much that he repeatedly thrashed Qi Xiaotian for Crime of Associated With Monkey King all while Sun Wukong has given basically no sign of caring about the shadow simian like at all in any of the previous episodes. Besides the general trash-talk and contempt, Macaque, now revealed as a member of Sun Wukong's best friends forever club, literally blew up in front of him and SWK's only response was "you did good, bud" to the guy who did the exploding. But then again I guess that is fitting for the ongoing theme of "Sun Wukong is a genuinely terrible person who's hated by everyone who's known his for an extended period of time & for good reasons" so par for the course at this point. I'm probably being too mean in regards to a cartoon monkey, and hey maybe later things will genuinely re-contextualize things, but honestly I am kind of worried that Monkie Kid has now characterized Sun Wukong as so careless, so destructive, so stupid, and so routinely incompetent with catastrophic results that nothing in his backstory, not even the headband torture times, will serve as an explanation for why he acts the way he does. So maybe things will change with added context, but at the moment what's to say about lego Sun Wukong except

I gotta say, I adore your charactization of Vox. I enjoy how complicated he is and how you have him interact with everyone. Also I love your doodles! Even with the really heavy subject matter, they and the comics are a joy to read.
Thank you for telling me this (It's good to know that they are good and not hurtful or offensive)

The Sound of Empty Stomachs Is Louder Than Bombs: A Family in Gaza Calls for Your Help!
Tumblr media
Amid war, airstrikes, and destruction, my family in Gaza is living through a silent tragedy. Between the buzzing of warplanes and the explosions, there is another sound echoing... the sound of empty stomachs. My little child, the women, and all of us sit in the corner of our tent, waiting for a meal that might never come.
The crisis is not just the tent, the demolished walls, the blocked roads, or the biting cold. It’s something simpler yet far more cruel... food. My family hasn’t tasted vegetables or meat for over three months. Day by day, they lose something else: yesterday it was fruit, and today it’s flour — a dream now out of reach due to its scarcity and exorbitant price.
Every moment is a battle for survival, and every bite of food pulls us back from the brink of hunger.
Will you let us suffer? Will you allow the sound of hunger to be louder than the voice of your conscience?
Contribute now, even a small amount, because in these conditions, even the smallest help means life!
Donate to my family and help keep them alive. What might be your next meal is an unattainable dream for them.
To donate:
Be the difference. Be the voice of humanity in a time of deafening silence!

I've wanting to do this for a while, given the successful flood donation drive a few years back, thanks to everyone!
As someone who works in news, keeping Palestine connected to the world -- especially as reporters and communications are under attack there right now -- is something I want to help protect, and as just a little Hobbit in a little Southeast Asian country, this is how I choose to do it.
You may choose to either:
Buy the E-Sims yourself (USD10 for 3GB, the most affordable option, so you'll need to buy 2 of these for one slot) through the Simly app and send me the receipt and QR code for it (Do not activate!).
Sent me the money to buy the E-Sims through my own app. This is preferable as it cuts down the red tape for you and I can top it up as necessary. Receipts can be provided as proof on request.
For those who want a double/couple-character slot, that is doable! Please get in contact with me by DMs. Boost for visibility, thank you!
SLOTS
Nuclearjacks [Paid] (E-Sims Bought/Shipped/used)
2. Astridkolch (couple slot) [Paid] (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
3. Lunarsilverfox (couple slot) [Paid] (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
4. Cao-The-Dreamer [Paid] (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
5. Loup-warrior93 (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
6. Mightymegatron [Paid] (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
7. Skidblast (couple slot) [Paid] (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
8. Rubensmuse [Paid] (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)
9. Catdracox (couple slot) (Esims Bought/Shipped/Used)

Big thanks again to everyone who expressed interest in making a Journey to the West reading group a reality! And as part of that, I did want to send out an invite to everyone who seemed enthusiastic about this prospect. Now naturally you should follow or ignore as you like, but if you do decide to join this blog I hope you have a lot of fun with the planned weekly trek through these adventures.

Journey to the West Chapter 1 Sketches
(have been posting more on my main ladyzerodark, so I wanted to post on here for this)
Tumblr media
My interpretation of the Stone Monkey's birth
And
Tumblr media
Sun Wukong getting his name.
Both are two of my favorite moments in chapter one. (My other favorites being him jumping into the waterfall and finding the new home with the monkeys, along with him vowing to find immortality, but I unfortunately didn't end up drawing these due to issues with time, but I may draw them in my own time)
These moments solidified key parts of Sun Wukong to me: his chaotic but (somewhat) respectful nature, his bravery, his love for his family and a desire to learn new things.
I'm going to try to draw more of my favorite moments in future chapters and solidify my own designs for other characters.

Hello fellow pilgrims! Based on a few comments I got about weekly reminders for this reading group's weekend "meetings," I though I'd try that out. And so here's some gibbons encouraging everyone to have Chapter 2 of Journey to the West read by this upcoming Sunday, July 23. I look forward to see everyone's art, memes, reactions, and other creative works around then.

For the ask game, I gotta ask 18
18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?
Aside from the obvious answers like Trump, Musk, Greene, etc? Probably another obvious answer, but J.K. Rowling is fucking up there. Also my stepmom's ex husband lmao, it's a long story but he's a REAL piece of work. Would love to give that guy a big ol knuckle sandwich
Thanks for the ask friend 🤎
