Different SWK's react to "I want a baby" text:

I imagine these convos are between the different SWK and their LEMs, but it works in general too.

Lego Monkie Kid SWK/"Dawn" + TMKATI au "Peach":

The Monkey King: Hero is Born SWK/ "Dasheng":

The Monkey King Reborn/"Smokey":

The Monkey King (Netflix) 2023/ "Cherry":

New Gods: Nezha Reborn/"Ace":

Meihouwang/"Shihou":

Journey to the West: Legends of the Monkey King (2000)/"Sugar":

Smash Legends/"Starfruit":

I made this as a joke. Add any thoughts you wish.

[quitealotofsodapop]

A neat idea for when Ganzhe and Spice decide to make their MK.

Their MK would be a female(bc there's one female version for half of the male characters). For name I was thinking of something like Xiao-Hong(little rainbow) or Cai Hong.

Add hilarity that when she meets Red Scamp when they're still both kids it's like Derek and Odette from Swan Princess(1981).

omg I love that

Ganzhe/Sugar and Spice come together and create a little rainbow. Likely a situation where they put some clay and pebbles together, or they literally wished upon a rainbow X3

I love the idea of her being a female MK since the different Red Sons have also been other genders before.

And ofc the Odette and Derek vibe Xiao/Cai Hong and Red Scamp would have is delightful to think about. Their parents just want them to get along, but both kids are so deep in their "Girl/Boys have cooties"-stage to even consider if they have a crush on the other.

Another fun fact, I believe for macaques when they find a partner(male) they are attracted to the darker skinned ones.

So with that monkey but fact you said, LEM is the one that gets all the bitches(Wukong only)

Sun Wukong maybe the "Handsome Monkey King", but the Six Eared Macaque has always been "the hot one" multiple-ears or no ears.

Thankfully for the Wukongs in the Wukongverse, their LEMs are only really interested in their respective SWKs.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Oh no! Macaque has been kidnapped! What do each of the monkeys do? (Assuming the kidnapper is actually powerful enough to pose a threat)

In the case of an equal threat, like say the Demon of Havoc or similar.

Peach and Dawn mobilize the troops (ie. the Monkie Kid gang and co.) to track down Plum and Dusk's locations and raze the place to the ground. They might get caught by a few villain traps along the way cus of the tunnel-vision. The LEM's are constantly trying to escape. Lots of hugs and kissing follows once they find eachother.

Dasheng would have a second of disbelief... then fly into a screaming rage flying towards the kidnapper's location. He's lost Zhanshi before, he'll never lose her again! Zhanshi similarly is clawing and biting her whole way through the whole situation. The pair kiss deeply in the aftermath of fighting, and have to avert the gaze of any little-monks or pig demons in what follows after.

Smokey gets so mad he nearly tears up the ransom note/messenger right then and there. His fellow pilgrims are the ones to calm him down long enough to form an escape plan. Liang meanwhile is boredly checking his lantern, knowing that his kidnapper is in for a world of hurt. Liang makes a snarky comment once Smokey busts on in, but quickly drags his mate closer for a relieved kiss once he sees the tears of worry in the king's eyes.

Cherry gets real quiet. Like scary quiet. He just gets on Stick and zips silently over to where Olive is being kept, and busts his mate out of there. The second Olive is ok, Cherry turns his attention to the kidnapper and without theatrics' smashes them with Stick. Afterwards he spends hours crying from overwhelming relief/worry. He thinks his brain "turned off Monkey King-mode" in the face of potentially losing his mate. Olive in contrast begins stuttering and sobbing in the aftermath, wanting nothing but to be held by his mate. It's a mega stressful situation overall.

Ace drops his cup of coffee in surprise. Calls up Yunxiang and explains the situation. Within minutes the kidnapper has a flaming motorcycle crashing through the wall and a furious masked monkey clawing at his face. Joker and Ace cant stop laugh-crying with relief when they reunite, foreheads pressed against one another.

Shihou is like Cherry in that his normally bright personality is quieted in the face of losing his mate. Shihou has experienced so many threats trying to take Mihou away from him, but this time it feels "different". Gets all his friends mobilized to help. It's a full on knight-in-shining-armor scenario for him and Mihou (who many joke is like Princess Peach in the Meihouwang series). Big dramatic kissing occurs once Shihou and Mihou reunite.

Sugar gets really nervous and jittery, even as he forms the rescue plan. Spice is his shadow, his other half. He can't imagine his life without them anymore. His pilgrims are a big help in figuring out how to save Spice, calling upon favors from past allied gods to help. They hug eachother tight, even if the battle isn't quite finished.

Starfruit starts screaming and runs to the different factions in the Library - raising the alarm that Lilac/"The Six Eared Macaque" has been kidnapped. His friends and fellow heroic characters rush to aide his mission - including Lilac's villainous allies. Starfruit glares at those who ask why he's sticking his neck out for "a villain" of his story. I imagine that Lilac's fan-following oddly helps in pin-pointing where he was last seen/where his phone tracker died. Afterwards I imagine both monkeys go off-grid for a while just to bask in eachother's presences.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Now I wanna see how all LEMs react to a love rival...

It varies from universe

LMK/Plum: "Oh no~ how could I compete with... nah I'm mad. Get your ass over here!" *starts causing havoc* Starts off confident and cool, but he's secretly a very jealous monkey. 100% down for loud PDA with his Peach.

HeroIsBack/Zhanshi: *short evil chuckle* "Meet me in the Pit." Quick to murder-violence like his mate. Their idea of PDA involves doing unholy acts in a pool of their respective love rivals' blood.

Reborn/Liang: "Huh?! You know thats not gonna work on my Wukong." *splays self out over Smokey's lap* "He's a married man after all." >;3 Lots of posturing and pda, might loudly walk on scene with Xiao Qi to get his point across.

Netflix/Olive: "Die." Gets really cold (colder than usual) to the love rival, and is loudly confrontational to them infront of Cherry. Has no interest in beating around the emotional bush.

NewGods/Joker: "Just try, hun. It took this man hundreds of years to get a flirty joke I told him back in the Qin dynasty." *drinks wine* Has zero fear.

Meihouwang/Mihou: "I'm fine I guess." *is crying inside* Starts doing pda to Shihou to scare off love rivals unconciosuly.

2000sCartoon/Spice: *loud sobbing coming from the shadows* Makes his concerns known immediately to Ganzhe. Is the one to get the quickest reassurance. Clings to his Wukong afterwards.

Smash/Lilac: "Uh yeah. Ain't happening." Posts a bunch of happy domestic tweets + a new "hands off manstealer" track before the love rival can come close to his bf.

They be clingy mfs.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Wukongverse ships;

pretty much yeah!

Au!Shadowpeach is so married it hurts, while Canon!Shadowpeach are still building back up to being soulmates.

Ace and Joker (Jackpotshipping) are the Old gay married couple who have experienced every kind of high and low together, and insult eachother as a form of affection.

Peachbuds is "im in love with my best friend, but what about our friendship?" up until both of them admit their feelings in a whirlwind of tears and emotions. Awkward dramatic first kiss. Afterwards, its mutual dreams of being co-ruling-kings.

On Sugar + Spice (LinkedFacade) tho its more a QPR relationship. They value their friendship far above any romantic aspect.

Dasheng + Zhanshi (ReboundedHeroes) are raising kids together, and both have a mutual attraction. But its hard for them to say that they're together. Will refer to the other as their "husband/wife/mate" unprompted, but become flustered when asked how they feel about one another. Suddenly reminded of Loid and Yor from Spy x Family.

Smokey + Liang (fruitiedads), it starts out as "childhood rivals" to "uh oh, best pretend we're married so people don't ask too many questions about our kid." Sorta a "Buddy Daddies" vibe. It takes them a fair while to admit that they've been romantically attracted to one another for a long time. First kiss is probably one meant to be fake/for show, but they got too into it. First "real" kiss was at night by the pilgrims' campfire - Xiao Qi saw and woke everyone up with his delighted squeaking.

For the netflix Cherry and Olive (CherryandOliveStones); it starts out more like a mix of Disney's Hercules and Meg + April and Andy from Parks & Rec. Mutual fascination that has to learn to work through pride. The kid comes in later after Olive joins the pilgrims. Cherry melts like a gotdang ice cube every single time Olive kisses him, could be the 2nd or 1000th smooch; this monkey offline. Marriage only gets brought up cus of royal legal benefits (also useful for deterring would be suitors).

[quitealotofsodapop]

Four of the SWKs are wondering what's so great about being in a relationship. Only to fall one by one while are planing their own weddings, which I find funny and ironic. They really went from zero to a hundred the second their own LEM came into view.

Also while you did mention Peach commits public indecency and Dasheng fights to the dead when love rivals enter, I can just see all of them (except for the kids) doing either or both depending on which SWK.

LMK/Peach: "I will make this story 18+ if you don't stop looking at my husband."

HeroisBack/Dasheng: "So you has choosen death."

Reborn/Smokey: "DIE!!! Oh wait... he might reciprocate? k imma listen to sad pipa tunes in my room for a bit..." If the affection is unwanted he goes for the throat, if Liang seems to be into it Smokey gets a bit sad (self-esteem is not great).

Netflix/Cherry: "Imma smooch my bf so much, it'll make everybody comfortable!" Uses his clingy touch-starved affection to make it clear to possible love rivals that his Olive is off the market.

NewGods/Ace: *laughs in multiple centuries of marriage* "Just try."

Meihouwang/Shihou: *chanting to self* "I wont get mad, I wont get mad, I won't-" *sees love rival touch Mihou's shoulder* "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MIHOU!!"

2000sCartoon/Ganzhe: "Good for them." :) Secretly feeling a little weird but is glad his Spice is finding themselves more meaningful relationships.

Smash/Starfruit: Posts a bunch of heartbreak memes until his LEM responds by calling him an idiot. Then he goes on media blackout for a whole day with nothing but a suggestive post the morning after. Otherwise meet him in the Denny's parking lot.

Forgot to add! @latvian-spider:

"LinkedFacade" = 2000sCartoon

Different SWK/LEM verses ship names:

Post I decided to make after realising that i best not use the "shadowpeach" tag for every verses version of SWK/LEM ship.

Here's my complied ship names for the different variants of SWK/LEM across the Wukongverse. Ships with canon Macaques are easy enough and well established;

"Shadowpeach" = Lego Monkie Kid/LMK

"Peachbuds" = Meihouwang/Mei Hou Wang

"Jackpotshipping" = New Gods: Nezha Reborn film

But then comes the pairings with unconfirmed/fan-made Macaques;

For your brilliant service @latvian-spider : I have declared "Fruitiedads+shipping" = Monkey King Reborn. This now will be my official ship name + tag for Reborn!Sun Wukong and his Macaque. They are indeed dads to a fruitie (as spelt in the eng subtitles) boy.

"GreatSageandWarrior+shipping" = Hero is Back!SWK and LEM, as their nicknames in story are Dasheng (great sage) and Zhanshi (warrior) respectively. Also brings to mind a sort of a "King and his Knight"-sorta imagery. Unsure about this one.

"MeandmyShadow+shipping" = 2000s Cartoon/Journey the the West: Legends of the Monkey King. This SWK is initially convinced that his LEM is a manifestation of his thoughts/powers until the shadow monkey begins to gain the confidence to define themselves as separate entity. More qpr in nature.

"CherriesandOlives+shipping" = Netflix!The Monkey King and Macaque. Based on their nicknames among the other monkeys in the Wukongverse. Also a peek into their dynamic as a cheery (pun) sweetheart + a monkey with a bitter outlook on life.

"SunandMoonflamewar+shipping" = Smash Legends. Focused on the SWK and LEM Smash counterparts being e-celebrities + online rivals, and how their inital online interactions were not-so friendly.

I am welcome to further suggestions.

Meihouwang Mihou was probably sitting there unimpressed cause this is the umpteenth time he's been kidnapped, like Roxanne in the beginning of Megamind.

Oh no! Macaque has been kidnapped! What do each of the monkeys do? (Assuming the kidnapper is actually powerful enough to pose a threat)

In the case of an equal threat, like say the Demon of Havoc or similar.
