#lmk x epic the musical

If wukong was a villain, macaque goal to kill him (for petty reasons) would be seen as heroic. Too bad he's got wukong centered morality and as soon as they make up a bit he would join in the bloodlust

lmao true

but also tbh i think an evil!Wukong would be one where he either never was imprisoned by Buddha and just kept teetering off the edge thanks to Heaven’s attempts at killing him OR Wukong after being freed from Tripitaka, never came back to join the journey with the monk

so, for either one of those, i feel like Macky would be more inclined to stay on Wukong’s side (or they do still break up because he feels Wukong has fallen too far for Macky to reach him and they end up estranged by still very much unnormal whenever they think or talk or meet each other again)

but that’s just me

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

It really is so delicious because the lyrics are so TRUE especially when you consider the S2 special where Wukong left MK behind on a rooftop because he was freaking out and I was like WOAH because the Monkey King is taking himself out of retirement for this huh? With the soft relationship they had, I wasn't expecting that strict dump. And he DID kind of, try to be known, seeking immortality and power, becoming a king. And he's been aloneeee. And MK 👀 "aren't you just a little bit too much like him...?" 🏮 and MK being like NO. Because he wants to do things better than the Monkey King. Your point of Wukong thinking MK isn't cut out for this life can come from so many places, like from S5 just now where he mostly just, doesn't want to see MK hurt or with more of a burden on him, so he takes him out of the successor role which ahem, "...picked the wrong successor?" 🦴 but anyways, maybe it goes super miscommunicative so we can make it more like how Athena reacted 🤷‍♀️ Wukong does have a history of anger he doesn't quite mean in the way it's presented.

Yeah!!! All of this!

I think the song from Wukong would be coming out of a place of "You didn't listen to me, and now your friends are dead and you are going to be next. I can't go through that. I'm not going to say I told you so, but I am done." He's not trying to be cruel! He's both trying to give MK a wake-up call, shock him out of this destructive and hopeless path he's going down, AND he's attempting to shield himself from the consequences of this.

Cause MK was right. He is alone now. But for a brief moment, he had MK and his friends, as much as he outwardly denied it. But now he's alone again, all because MK didnt listen to him. He tells himself it's for the best that hes on his own again, but he's lying to himself

Epic the musical inspired me to draw this for my really short kinda bad fanfic "please"

Umm the one-shot itself is pretty bad, but it you want to read it go for it lol, I'm not promising quality tho.

Sometimes you'll do a little doodle in class, decide that you want to digital-ify it and boom, before you know it you created whatever tf this is lmao

Song lyrics are from survive from epic the musical

[ghostbuster30]

I was making art for the shadowpeach Bio parent takeover and I was listening to Epic, then I was like wouldn't it be crazy if. And the more I did it I was like they're kinda alike, like they both think they are monsters (one more than the other), both have red bandanas and miss their wives!

They miss their wives

[boonalina]

Would you fall in love with me again?

I Need Him To Be Mine

He's so adorable, he's the most in love little guy in the world. He's so precious and innocent 🥰

(I am going to break this man, there's a reason his eyes are red in Different Beasts)

Macaque's outfit comes from the 2009 Monkey King cartoon, because it's adorable and these little guys are so sweet and adorable!

Thumbnail for the video on YouTube (and my favorite frame)

Look at this goober! He's so in love! How could you say no to that face? You can't, Erlang certainly couldn't.

I loved drawing this whole thing so much, especially that silly little end card, that's the first time I've drawn the sillies kissing!

I gotta go back to school on Monday... probably for the best, I been staying up way too late drawing this break that I haven't been writing as much as I want too.

[friendlybageldemon]

Update! We found it! Ty!!!

I've looked all over my likes but I cannot find this thing

Any LMK fans recently see an animatic for the song "The Challenge" from EPIC the musical for Macaque?? It was shadowpeach based where the description explained Wukong was missing and the other demon kinds wanted to take it.

So Mac makes a challenge that whoever can lift Wukongs staff and beat him in a fight takes FFM.

It was a really good animatic and I can't fucking find it!! Pls internet help me

Link it in comment or send me the vid, don't care how, but I've looked every way I can!

[fluffypotatey]

evil!SWK x Thunder Bringer do y’all see my vision

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

To the Anon that sent me the treasure of the My Goodbye animatic: you have unlocked void Liv, well done

[steadylandface]

Now Athena and Macaque look similar.

hahahahaHAHAHA DID YOU THINK I WAS FINISHED WITH MY MONKEY KID/ EPIC THE MUSICAL WORKS? You thought wrong! I have this one up my sleeve and it's definitely my favorite!

Imagine Azure Lion with a reader similar to Penelope of Ithaca.

like, reader could be part of the royalty of some important family among the celestials, but unlike them she wanted to change things by doing something significant even if it was from a political position, or she could even be related to one of the members of the old brotherhood (some demon maybe?)

The point is that Azure ends up being interested in the reader not initially because of her stunning appearance, but because of her mind and her great capacity for politics, being someone who does not like to resort to violence if it is not necessary, he sees the addition of reader as something very good for the group.

and despite being significantly weaker than the rest of the group, Reader knows how to handle herself with her companions, which quite surprises Azure considering her background of nobility (especially if they are human/mortal). but it gives him a better understanding of his new comrade.

(Peng and Tusk made bets to see how long it would take Azure to fall for "the princess", they bet 4 months and a year respectively, Peng won, and how he loves to show off that)

In general they would have a very loving relationship, something like the dynamics of a faithful knight, and the reader being directly from royalty. Both understand each other not only on an intellectual level but also on a spiritual level.

Azure knows very well not to underestimate the reader, but he is definitely more than willing to defend her if necessary if he sees the clear disadvantage between her and her other enemies.

I think it would be shown more when the brotherhood builds its own city, Carme Ridge. reader and Azure would become more focused and could even start a family (or even the child they have could be just a reader), in general everything was going too well.

But of course, we had to put a stop to Azure and the draining of energy from the city. But then i asked me...what if the city continued to function without the brotherhood? What if Reader just kept the city afloat?

This is when the song The Challenge, of Epic, comes in.

Let's say that reader took charge of the city in Azure's absence (and somehow became a long-lived being) and managed to make Carme Ridge go unnoticed by the celestial kingdom, but still be a good place to live away from the gods . She raised their son as best she could (also super young, like Redson perhaps) and in general everything is stable.

the only problem? the insistence that someone take Azure's place as leader of the city and her husband. which generates many insistent suitors who harass her, abuse the hospitality of the royal family, even disrespecting the reader's son.

The reader keeps her head high, she will not let some brutes stain the legacy of her husband and his brothers, but every day they are more impatient, more insistent, angry...she does not know when they will explode.

Although she has managed to keep them at bay with some tricks, such as saying that she would choose a husband as soon as she finished embroidering a Hanfu for her son, sewing during the day and undoing her work at night, this bought her some time, but it is not nothing permanent.

part of her just wants Azure to come back and fix this mess. Even if she can lead this city to prosperity, Azure made her happy.

Then Azure just manages to leave the Underworld, and when he frees Tusk and Peng, they head to Carme Ridge, surprised to see the good conditions in which the city is. but it is understandable when they find out that the reader has been taking care of everything.

NOW, definitely the fact that Azure had left the underworld probably generated certain anomalies, something that made the reader look at it and say "...mh...this is unusual...Azure?" and just decide to take matters into hee own hands, it will buy him more time.

as? just like in the song The Challenge, giving a challenge that only AZURE could do, maybe swing one of his old swords (super big) and cut 12 rows of Bamboo, only whoever did it would be worthy of reigning Carme Ridge ** wink**

Everyone tries, everyone fails, even his son (but he does it with more grace than everyone).

NOW, the reason why I thought of doing this. Imagine Azure hidden with the brotherhood watching the challenge unfold, disgusted to see how these men treat his wife and son, but as reader blurts out the phrase "--because I'd rather DIE than grow old without the BEST OF YOU" and look directly to AZURE, as if she knew by guessing who it was (perhaps for practical reasons he would be with some Glamour) and simply --GHAAAAAAA

I don't know if Azure would be willing to apply a KING moment and make a killing against the suitors, but he would definitely do it if they wanted to do a "Hold Them Down" on his wife and son (you know, kill the child and do...horrible things with his wife), there it would be all "peace was never an option🗡️" and Tusk and Peng support him.

The reunion would be so cute I would say it's similar to when DBK got rid of LBD and IronFan told her how "he's back to her", that's a reader, and Azure is just so happy to finally be home :,)

(just to clarify, he doesn't die here :'D for the good of my heart, maybe I'll do a second part from the son's perspective, but I'll see).
