FloaPS Facts 4

Read after chapters 18 & 19

Masterpost

Tw: Beheading/decapitation, gory descriptions, fainting, ptsd flashbacks, grief, depression,

During the moon cake making, Wukong's oxygen tank rolled off the table and took him down with it. The entire Demon Bull Family dropped what they were doing and went to help. He was fine, but his face temporarily was an even deeper shade of blue than normal.

Wukong was specifically instructed not to eat the moon cake batter.

He ate the moon cake batter.

He got sick and threw up.

He regrets many decisions he's made in life.

That ain't one of them.

The reasons Wukong wasn't allowed to go with Nezha to his Lunar New Years celebrations:

1. Jing specifically requested it be a family only thing since everyone was still mending their relationships with each other.

2-a. The last time Wukong came to a Li family gathering, Muzha threw a brick at Nezha as revenge but missed and hit Wukong instead.

2-b. Because Wukong had been decapitated so many times in the past (both by heaven and demons he encountered on The Journey), his head will pop off if hit hard enough (being sick only made it easier to do this).

2-c. That, combined with Wukong's beheaded body nonchalantly crawling over to his severed head, was enough to scare the other Li siblings into never wanting to see Wukong again.

3. Li Jing was extremely appalled that Nezha acted like this was a normal thing for Wukong. It isn't really, Nezha's just seen Wukong go through worse and knows he'll be fine.

Wukong once had the circlet activated so hard, and for so long, it sliced his head open and made his brain explode, and bits flew everywhere. Nezha witnessed this.

Wukong has a scar and a deep indent in his forehead as a result of the circlet.

When Wukong hugs DBK, he wraps his arms around his horns and pulls his face in close.

Upon first coming home, Wukong fretted over Red Son's cut, making a bunch of monkey coos and nuzzling his hand. Red Son really appreciated it.

DBK found out the hard way that Wukong CAN NOT TAKE HOT BATHS.

Wukong fainted and had several flashbacks about the furnace. He wept so much his tears stained the blanket Nezha made for him.

The Demon Bull Family takes scalding hot baths and often forget that most people would broil alive if the steam doesn't kill them first.

DBK found out Wukong loves ice baths and will burrow himself in the ice like a snake in sand given the opportunity.

Wukong likes getting baths and hair brushing from his family. It's the closest he can get to monkey grooming from them.

Wukong likes receiving scritches and pats.

The very few times in his life he's had lice, DBK asked Wukong to get rid of all the bugs, and he did.

Wukong's preferred seat is the floor.

Wukong doesn't like to sleep alone while sick (monkey instincts say it's a bad idea).

Red Son loves having his uncle sleep in his bed.

Wukong will sing an old lullaby he wrote for his children with his husband whenever he sleeps in Red Son's bed with him.

Red Son considers Wukong and his husband's singing voices to be the soundtrack of his childhood. That and the cuckoo clock.

Wukong used to write poetry, books, and songs but stopped when his husband died.

Wukong sings on occasion, but not nearly as often as he used to.

Part 3

5

[weaverpop]

In ancient and even modern China, white is the color of mourning, especially for family/spouses.

Trigger warning for angst and mentions of death

(Potential route)

The celestial guards wear yellow. Nezha wears pink. The Jade emperor wears green. Li Jing wears white.

Lady Yin is the reincarnation of the Jade emperors second daughter. She was also Li Jing’s wife for a very long time. She was one of his closest confidants, his best friend, and the mother of his children. It’s not something you just… let go of. So when the Jade Emperor enstates a mourning period for her post-death… Jing doesn’t protest.

But eventually, you have to move on. Centuries pass. Nezha, his brothers, the Jade family, everyone has stopped wearing white. Time has loved on.

But when Jing tries to do it… he is properly pulled aside by the Jade emperor and calmly informed that the mourning period for him as a Widower as not needed. This confuses him, but Jing chalks it up to celestial time differences.

But Centuries pass. Everytime Jing attempts to wear another color then white, he is rebuffed/criticized. Once, he had attempted to wear something black to keep warm on a cold day, and the Jade emperor emperor blew his casket.

Li Jing only brought up the prospects of re-marrying once in the company of an advisor. It was off handed, but when the advisor mentioned it to the emperor…

Li Jing was… informed that it would not be happening. As his wife had (technically) been a celestial princess, it would be inappropriate for him to remarry. That’s when Jing realizes that he would likely never have another intimate relationship like Yin again, married or not. If marriage was enough to set the JE off, then pre-marital intimacy was absolutely off the table.

And for a very long time, Jing adheres to that. He does not want to incur the JE’s wrath again. But… then he meets Azure, and suddenly everything goes ona. Tightrope. And during the peak of the war, when he finally breaks the rules… he has to be very careful.

But now the JE is dead, Azure is back, and Nezha is in charge. The world has nearly fallen apart, and held together only by a thread. It really put some things into perspective, and the conclusion Li Jing came too was… he was done.

He was done mourning for the wife and friend that’s been dead for thousands of years. He’s done being alone. He’s done following the rules. And It’s not overnight, He’s got a while to go. But the first thing Li Jing does to start?

He stops wearing white.

(This is maybe an excuse to change up Jing’s wardrobe going forward.)

Dear LMK fandom, who's the most wanted Non-Canon yet Canon character you want to see in Canon? (THis totally makes sense promise)

[quitealotofsodapop]

Seria lindo que los hermanos de Nezha lo vean realmente crecer y aceptar su verdadera apariencia

Translated via google;

"It would be nice for Nezha's siblings to see him really grow up and accept his true appearance."

Jinzha and Muzha were a little scared the first time they saw Nezha's true form for the first time in centuries. The last time they saw it, they were throwing bricks at eachother and Nezha was trying to kill their dad. But seeing their little brother all shrunken into an oversized hoodie like he's a little kid again, it makes them sad that they never managed to experience Nezha growing up.

They start noticing a "change" in Nezha after the first few times they visit the noodle shop. Nezha's getting... taller???

Jinzha and Muzha freak out when they realise that all the parenting Nezha's getting from Wukong, Macaque, Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy is actually allowing him to grow physically. They're so excited that they almost tell their dad about it, but decide against it for Nezha's protection.

They def keep tabs on Nezha's growing height and milestones whenever they drop in. Wukong makes sure to tell the elder brothers all the embarassing puberty/teenager stuff Nezha is going through for the first time.

Wukong: "I managed to catch it on video, Nezha's voice is starting to crack." Jinzha & Muzha: "Aww!!" Nezha: "You share that with anyone else and you're [voice cracks] dead!" >:(

Ironically there's a chance of Nezha eventually growing taller than his older brothers. His lotus root-feet give him a boost.

[lego-loving-loser]

Hey, Li Jing, how’s your other kids doing?

(Side note, does Nezha’s baby sister exist in this AU or no??)

Jinzha has become a proud warrior of the heavens and has begun to advance his studies even further.

Muzha has been practicing his swordsmanship, but other than that I haven’t heard anything else from him.

And Nezha…

He hasn’t been home for a while. He’s been spending more time in the mortal realm among Wukong and his successor’s family.

-👑

[journeytothe-legos]

My Dearest, Li Jing,

How are you and your wife doing? How are your sons?

I await your reply, my handsome king.

Your most loyal servant,

-🐺

Me and my wife are fine, not that it should be anyone's business.

Jinzha and Muzha are well last I saw them, they're very busy making something of themselves.

[mentality-of-wukong-au]

Antonio:no, this is important information.

Nezha: And when I mean never die…I mean they’re like…alive alive…

Jinzha: Okay you lost me…

Nezha: You know how my body and maybe yours and Muzha’s and probably Dad is well…made of lotus?

Nezha: Yeah…when she died in the bed of roses, they couldn’t really heal her body…after all she fell of a cliff, they had to recreate it with flowers in order to mend her…

Erlang: So what you’re saying is…?

Nezha: She is the Flowers…no matter if her body is trapped in the Underworld as long as the Flowers are alive she can move…

Erlang: But if she’s been awake this whole time, why hasn’t she escaped?

Nezha: Because she doesn’t want to…

Baby Mocha when she finally got into her crawling phases.

Mocha, bites into soap: “BLAH”

Jing, exasperated: “Gods your just like your brother…”

Nezha: “Me?!”

Jing: “No, Jinzha. You had a thing for butter.”

Jinzha: “WHAT?!”

Muzha: “Ha! I never did any of that!”

Jing: “Your mother’s lipstick.”

Muzha: “IT WAS LYCHEE SCENTED—!!”

Azure, a first time parent: freaking out

Jing, an experienced parent: sigh

[frytt--i]

He's so pretty omg

He may not seem like it but he's got problems too.

He doesn't have an important role unlike his bros in my AU but I'll manage to find something for him.

Flower of a Poisonous Seed Part 19

Part 18:

Nezha had gone off to visit his family for their Lunar New Years celebrations, leaving Wukong with the Demon Bull Family for a whole week.

And the festivities were only just beginning.

PIF: A little to the left! No, no, back a bit!

Red Son and Princess Iron Fan were setting up the decorations while Demon Bull King and Wukong made the moon cakes.

Or tried to, anyway.

Wukong didn't have very good coordination in his arms, though he was getting better.

Wukong sat on the table that was sized perfectly for his eldest brother, stirring the batter to his heart's content (and his arms exhaustion).

The breathing tube still hangs from his face, often getting in the way of whatever he was doing. Wukong kept joking that he looked like Yellow Tusk with the way the tube hung off his nose.

Several times had he accidentally dipped it in the batter. DBK cleaned him each time.

Making the moon cakes wasn't really about making the moon cakes, more so having fun while doing it.

The table was covered in batter as a result of said fun.

The bowls they used were big enough to fit Wukong's whole body in it. DBK couldn't count the number of times Wukong faceplanted into the bowl by accident. Either from stirring too enthusiastically or from readjusting his posture the wrong way.

PIF: Are you certain you don't want my help over there? There seems to be quite a mess!

DBK: We are doing just fine, dear. It is an easy mess to clean.

SWK: Yeah! What he sai-aaaaAAAAAAAAA! *faceplants into bowl*

RS: *laughs so hard he nearly falls off the ladder*

DBK laughed too while he picked up his brother to clean him once more.

~~~

After the decorations were put up and the moon cakes all sorted out, the family gathered on the couch and did an old Bull Family tradition, look at pictures and written works made by each member in the past.

Three baby pictures in, and Red Son was ready to die.

SWK: Wookit how cute you were, awwwww!

RS: *buries himself into a blanket*

PIF: Oh, look! This one's of you, Wukong!

RS: Yes! Now I can laugh at your baby pictures!

SWK: You know I came out of the stone full-sized right?

RS: What? Aw. I wanted to laugh at you!

DBK: Well, then this picture should be of great interest to you!

The picture, apparently drawn by Master Subodhi, depicted Wukong trying to put on human clothes for the first time, but not quite understanding which article of clothing was for what.

Pants on his head, a sock on an ear, tail in a shirt sleeve, and underpants on an arm was how Wukong dressed himself.

Red Son laughed so hard he couldn't breathe.

SWK: Hey! Subodhi never explained how to put them on!

Red Son continued laughing until he fell off the couch.

SWK: Are there any of you, Fan? I don't think I've seen any of you from before you married DBK.

PIF: I know pictures of me exist, but I left everything behind to marry my husband. You won't be finding any baby pictures of me. *grins*

DBK: I'm sure you looked as beautiful as our son at such a young age, my dear.

SWK: BACK TO THE BABY PICTURES!!! Here's one of Bull King!

DBK: WAIT WHAT?

DBK appeared to be a teenager in the picture. He wore a school uniform and glasses that somehow seemed too large for his face. Next to him, him biological brother, then a baby, ramming his head into his elder brother's leg. Young DBK was seemingly unbothered by this.

RS: Who might that be next to you, father?

DBK: My biological brother. A nuisance even as a calf.

DBK: I personally prefer my sworn brothers to him.

SWK: *smiles with pride*

PIF: I prefer my sworn siblings to my biological siblings as well. Of course, unlike your father, I was the youngest in my family.

SWK: Yeah! Youngest sibs for the win! *holds up his fist*

PIF: *fist bumps him*

DBK: Being the eldest is no walk in the park either.

SWK: Yeah, I remember how many fistfights you had to break up back in the day.

DBK: And sending those responsible to air jail. *laughs*

RS: Air jail?

DBK & SWK: Air jail!

DBK: Like so. *grabs Red Son by the colar and holds him up high*

RS: Ah! Put me down!

DBK: *chuckles* Very well. *puts him down*

SWK: Hey, Nezha's a youngest kid, too! I wonder how he gets along with his brothers.

~~~

Muzha: EAT ARMPIT LOTUS CHUMP!!!! *shoves Nezha's face into his armpit*

Nezha: *screams* *gags at the smell*

Jinzha: QUIT IT!!! *chucks dinner plate at Muzha's face*

Jing: *groans* Every year.

Jing: Every. Single. Year.

Part 20:

[autism-autobot]

I am the eldest sibling in my family, and I used to wake up my (then only two) younger brothers. I imagine that's how they viewed me each morning.

For a while my mom thought she had three early birds, turns out she only has one.

Muzha🎋 and Jinzha✨

[weaverpop]

I feel like Muzha and Jinzha react to Nezha getting pregnant with just… utter disbelief. Like yeah. He’s married. He’s a grown ass adult. But like???? That’s their baby brother?? That’s NOT ALLOWED???

Right?! Because even though they have many other little sibs now, Nezha will always kinda be their baby bro to them.

They had similar reactions to finding out Nezha was engaged. Both cried on the wedding day (as did jing), so hearing he’d be having a baby of his own was absolutely groundbreaking.

This also means that they (and MANY other celestials) feel VERY old. Bc now the babies are having babies.

Best uncles in the world though. They spoil the little monkey brat rotten.

[quitealotofsodapop]

I would love for all three of the Lotus Princes to appear in S5, mostly cus I want Nezha to have to deal with his older brothers.

Muzha, the right-hand to Guanyin herself and Second Lotus Prince.

Jinzha, literal golden-boy to the Celestial Realm and the First Lotus Prince.

Cue them appearing on the scene and the three bros going full Huey, Dewey, and Louie on eachother. Like completely devolves into childish insults and roughhousing. They may be immortal, but they're still brothers.

So it shocks everyone to see Tang is the only one able to wrangle them into behaving themselves. Must be the Golden Cicada energy. Or the dad energy, who knows.
