More Monkie Kid HC’s

I have absolutely nothing else to do then to debate things that could exist in an alternate universes with these ppl

.

-I saw a piece of fan art and I agree 100%, since Wu Kong’s staff is actually just a column from The Dragon of The East’s palace, he definitely knows how to pole dance. He’s got the strength of it and he’s a monkey so it’s obvious that he knows how to climb shit. 

It’s just funny though since just because The Monkey King knows how to pole dance doesn’t mean he’s good at it, usually he’s just good at the acrobatics, the flow and calculated spins don’t really qualify as entertaining stuff in his books lmao

.

-MK is absolutely obsessed w/ space. At first he was only into his normal animal zodiac (monkey obv- also I’m so sad we don’t know literally any of the character’s birthdays RIP) but after he started using the internet more in his free time- he had time to browse the internet almost everyday but now he’s got so much shit to do- he found out that there’s European Zodiacs too, and got into those as well.

He’s got all his signs figured out, he makes AND takes those personality tests based off of your zodiac. One day he was fighting Red Son, took one look at him and was like “Yeah, you’d totally be an Aries  🙄”

Mei wouldn’t stop laughing for a week lmao

.

-Trans MK is basically cannon at this point, but training with Macaque bak in season 1 fully cemented MK’s experience as being treated as his gender but STEREOTYPED

This sounds way worse then I typed is as, but basically during his training with Macaque MK essentially was being encouraged to indulge in everything ‘a man’ does, like focus on power and strength over literally anything else, and ‘take charge’ and all that.

And while stereotypes usually piss him off, it was an eye opening experience per say cuz after the whole ordeal MK reflected on how most male assholes were encouraging themselves to act like they’re better then everyone on the planet. While for himself, MK had to actually have someone tell him that in order to become better at fighting he needs to embrace his ‘manliness’.

Eventually that’s one of the reasons why Macaque complimenting his fighting was so shocking and meaningful, since it approves the effort MK was making to pass all that time ago. (Now he’s more comfortable with masc and fem presenting whereas before he got dysphoria). Also imagine being the literal enemy and gender affirming your student because they’re genuinely doing well in something, Macaque did at least ONE thing correctly lmao

.

-After encountering LBD and everyone piling on the ship it wasn’t a secret that everyone was stressed out especially after Macaque tried to attack them (let’s assume for the sake of the argument that they managed to fend him off without capsizing the ship LMAo).

But MK started to notice how weary Wu Kong was of accepting anything. Like- if someone offered him food he could come up with a random excuse, if he was cold and someone offered him a blanket he’d just make his own, etc. 

Obviously MK’s super heartbroken because of this and also vaguely curious so one day he asks Wu Kong what’s up, and after a lot of prodding, MK rounded up everyone and the Monkey King told them about how traumatizing and terrible the stupid fucking circlet was in JTTW. 

^I’m making a whole post about this rn but HOLY SHIT I hate that goddamn circlet.

Wu Kong explains how he trusted Tripitaka (after glancing cautiously at Tang) and how he actually felt so betrayed when the circlet started to hurt. Also how close the happen stances were that after the JTTW gang saw the bone spirit for the first time Wu Kong got punished twice just for trying to protect everyone. (With influence from Zhu Ba Jie obv)

.

-Fighting some big demon eventually caused everyone to wait in this random room completely silent (like I’m talking everyone, Iron Fan, DBK, Macaque, Jin and Yin, etc.)

And it was super awkward so MK takes out his phone and you hear this dumbass fucking noise

Mei who instantly understood the assignment ALSO pulls out her phone and after the sound plays a second time Red son very loudly claims

“The world is about to fucking end and you guys are playing fucking Clash Royal?”

To which Jin and Yin EXPLODE with laughter and Red Son has to hastily explain this stupid ass American mobile game to all the deities and adults in the room that have no idea what the hell is going on.

Wu Kong downloads the game so he can beat MK cuz he’s competitive like that (and subsequently gets mad when they don't have a character base off of him and claims he will be sending a letter to the devs about it LMAO)

.

-After trying to lift the staff in the pilot Red Son took pity on the bull clone that lost its arms and made it have a nice and safe life as his personal servant (it’s way better than risking its robotic life everyday)

.

-MK gets handed a cup of coffee in the morning and is like “Oh awesome, thanks!”

And then heads to the cupboard to get his straw.

If he eats soft serve ice cream MK will also refuse to eat it unless he uses his straw. The reason why I say ‘his’ straw is because MK always carries a collapsable metal straw with him. He’s built DIFFERENT bro

.

-In an AU where everyone’s on the airship and Macaque redemption arc is happening, Macaque and Wu Kong constantly switch glamours as each other whenever they don’t have the energy to do something.

Wu Kong has to sit through a lecture with Sandy, and Macaque has nothing else to do? Switch

Macaque is about to get ambushed by MK because he won’t stop asking by about his ears? Cashing in the favour, switch

It even happens for menial chores like washing dishes and doing the laundry and since they treat their switching as a reward/token system it’s like

“Macaque you get to do my turn in laundry, I’m cashing in my switch”

“Wha- no the fuck you’re not, it’s MY turn and I’m saving mine, bitch”

“Uhhh haha very funny, no it’s not I was keeping count dude-“

“Wu Kong don’t even try it I literally have the calendar right here and it says: Last switch- Macaque as Wu Kong hid from Mei and Red Son after he stole their chips,”

“Hmmm okay you make a compelling argument, HOWEVER- and hear me out here: how about you do it anyway” And then he ran off glamoured as Macaque.

“MONKEY KING ITS YOUR TURN TO DO THE LAUNDRY I WILL NOT HESITATE TO SET YOU ASS ON FIRE IF YOU DONT” -Red Son

“Gods fucking damnit peaches I’m going to kill you,”

.

-When MK fights demons he often ends up rambling about whatever he can think about in order to organize his thoughts, balance stress/nervousness, and in general throw off the enemy. This leads to some... interesting interactions w/ them lmao.

Red Son (we’re considering Spicynoodles cannon bois) finds this endearing but also extremly annoying. Especially while he’s trying to chase MK down he can’t stop hearing 

“Okay so yeah anyway as I was saying, there was this moment where he actually tries to kill himself but in a moment of- OH SHIT THAT’S HOT STOP TRYING TO SHOOT FIRE AT ME DUDE- in a moment of realization that he was being manipulated he jumps into a lake instead of hitting the ground-”

So... that’s something

-Extension to that: the only demon that does something other than try and kill him whenever he starts rambling is Macaque. Which sounds weird, but considering that back when Macaque and Wu Kong were still friends he would do this all the time, Macaque actually indulges MK in his ramblings. 

Like MK would start talking about the plot of some movie he saw the other day- mention sponges and Macaque would be like 

“Y’know kid it’s literally the weirdest thing that you humans use dead plants as a way to- what clean dishes? I mean just use a cloth it’s not that hard. Apparently sponges used to be made from coral I heard over the TV a couple days ago-”

“WHAT? Nuh-uh you’re lying we don’t use coral for sponges- AH DUDE CHILL OUT YOU ALMOST CRUSHED MY SKULL THAT TIME!”

“Oops, too bad I was a few centimeters off- anyway yeah I didn’t believe it earlier but if I think about it back in the old days we used to use moss all the time to get a cloth wet in order to wash shit since it stores water well so it wouldn’t be that far off-”

-Extra extra to this: one day Wu Kong stumbles into one of MK and Macque’s fights since he was in the area and all- and hears them hotly debating the credibility of some of Wu Kong’s adventures.

Mk while running for his actual LIFE:

“Okay I hear what you’re saying Macaque, but there is NO WAY Monkey King ate through those clothes that quickly! They would’ve opened the box already-“

Macaque while scanning the rubble to look for MK:

“Kid you have no idea what you’re talking about: I was THERE, dude. I was right there when it happened-“

Mk: “NUH UH that’s not in any of the books!”

Macaque: “YOU THINK SOME RANDOM HISTORIAN KNOWS I WAS STALKING THE GROUP AT THAT TIME!?”

Wu Kong: “You were WHAT”

Etc.

.

-Another one where everyone’s on the ship:

Sandy made a playlist that’s HUGE and plays it on shuffle on the speakers everyday. Usually it’s a bunch of like- 80′s music- idk how to describe it except for music you’d listen to while smoking a cigarette while it’s raining and looking out your window

Basically I’m aiming to say it’s really chill music

Anyways when this song comes on both Macaque and Wu Kong happen to be on the deck at the same time, and they ended up sitting down and reminiscing on all types of stupid shit they did in the past. 

It eventually became a ritual so whenever they hear the beginning of the song they drop everything they’re doing and make a beeline for they’re spot on the very edge of the ship so they can be only deities and brag about

“OH MY GODS remember back in the old days how-”

“Haha ‘back in the old days’- you sound like an old man, Peaches”

“Shut the hell up, Macaque I do not,”

“Uh huh, whatever helps you sleep at night 姥爷 ”

(姥爷 is basically saying old grandpa- a double insult to Wu Kong’s age in this context lol)

.

-Macaque really wanted to learn how to play an instrument at some point because he saw the weird human thing make noise (that slightly bothered him because of his sensitive hearing but he brushed it off-) and wanted to try it.

The first thing he ever picked up was a bell. 

The attempt ended with him curled up on the ground clutching his ears to just stop the ringing- he threw away the blasted copper piece of trash why were his ears still ringing?

He tried again with a Guqin since it makes an actual melody instead of being a percussion instrument but..,,,

He plucked a single string and feeling the vibration along with the intense sound overwhelmed him and he had to jump away from the thing to keep himself from throwing it across the field.

Yeah, Macaque stays away from instruments even though he actually was interested in learning how to use one.

-If you take this into account s3e8 is just so much sadder *cries*

[misticloyal]

Shadowpeach + Calabash = Disaster

Y’all really for this one I don’t think y’all ready

K so normally I don’t ship things in the JTTW setting because I treat it as a separate thing from LMK- HOWEVER

.

Lmk AU where Macaque finds himself mysteriously back when Wu Kong was making his Journey to the West.

But this time when he goes to confront Wu Kong about Tripitakas abuse they deal with it in a MUCH more civil manner.

Although Macaque wants to rip his masters throat out, the Monkey King is trying convince him that Tang San Zang hasn’t done anything wrong, right? So the solution is simple

“六耳 listen- how about you come WITH us?”

“What?”

“You don’t trust my master here, yes? BUT you also cannot kill him, therefore if you want to ensure my saftey come WITH us and you’ll be able to observe our journey,”

“…”

“Cmon you tell me the great 六耳猕猴 is scared to accompany his beloved friend on a journey?”

“Of course not. I will accompany you all as well,”

“Awesome B)”

.

Macaque slowly grows to view Tripitaka in the same way Mei and Pigsy view Monkey King- because of MK (or in this case Sun Wu Kong) they tolerate his mentor (or in this case Wu Kong’s master)

Everything goes all fine and dandy

Obviously Macaque and Sun Wu Kong get along the greatest, they even end up having a few fruity moments per say.

Macaque and Zhu Ba Jie don’t hate each other but they’re definitely not friends. More like ‘only I get to bug Wu Kong to get a rise out of him. It was pretty funny when Ba Jie actually caught on that Macque maybe sorta likes Wu Kong as in he wants him to be his partner and WOO he had a field day with that.

Sha Wu Jing seemed to be the only one to be concerned for Macaque because of some more...weird occurrences he’s seen. For example, there were moments where Macaque would say clearly while right next to a sleeping Wu Kong that he misses him so much, and that he’s sorry.

For what? Wu Kong’s right there, why would the shadow demon miss him? 

So clearly Wu Jing is the one in the future to ask if Macaque is alright and if there’s something going on he would tell the rest of the group. Throughout the whole trip he was the one that made the back of Macaque’s brain yell at him that doing this was not healthy and he was just running away from his problems.

-

When Macaque meets 金 and 银, the world fades around him and he wakes up in the center of the demon brothers dojo.

He was in the calabash.

Immediately his first instinct is to beat the shit out of them and he almost does-

“WAIT- wait wait, 老侯 we have an explanation-“

“What could you POSSIBLY have-“

“You wanted us to do this remember? When you’re inside the calabash ya brain does a little bit of a fuck up and forgets recent events,” says Yin

“Yeah, you’d think we’d put you in there and NOT fear for our lives? Ya see we came in INSURANCE”

“Bullshit. Give me a better reason why I shouldn’t kill you where you stand,”

“MATE- Here have a look for ya self “

Yin tosses him a peice of paper with a dark purple signature on the bottom. It seemed the paper behind the ink was practically whitening just to highlight the words and whisps of shadow curled off the characters 六耳猕猴

Jim continues nodding his head “told us you felt like you were dying. Had to see em right away…”

His expression changed to a sympathetic sadness and he leans his weight on Yin who supports him instantly.

“You need to fix things with him,”

“Shut up”

“My bro’s got a point Boss. Everyone knows the tale of how you two fell out, no one’s how badly it wounded the both of yous. You NEED him back,”

“Shut up SHUT UP- I KNOW”

“Then go out there and fucking fix your problem mate,”

“Easier said then done,” and then Macaque disappears through the ground.

“Gods almighty like father like son, we thought MK and Red Son were bad look at these two idiots”

“Yeah man, it’s not even like one of them messed up, Sun Wu Kong needs to get his shite together,” Jin wheezes

“Well said brother, well said”

[misticloyal]

[misticloyal]

Even more dumbassery because I would literally die to have a spin off series with them- just them creating schemes and meddling with rlly powerful demons LMAO

I would pay money to see that o77

[misticloyal]

Jin and Yin singing Maneater along with other demons as backup singers while Macaque is wondering why tf they’re trying to push him towards Wu Kong 😳

Rating LMK s3 Episodes

Oh my fucking god I need to talk about them 

And of course, after the read more there’s spoilers (fucking obviously) because I still see people complaining about where to watch s3 so I’m not about to absolutely RUIN someone’s day  LMAo

Episode 4

If you read this post here and this answer to an ask then you already know I talked about Macaque’s shenanigans in this episode and that alone makes me happy since it gives depth to Macaque more then just “I don’t like Wu Kong Fuck y’all lol” 

But also I’m super content that Mei wasn’t a deus ex machina in this episode, in the end it still returned to MK eventually pulling his shit together and getting him and his friends away from Macaque. Imma be honest as soon as Mei pulled out her dragon sword I was like welp ig we’re gonna have a Mei vs Macaque episode and then I’ll be off BUT NOPE

Mei got Macaque to actually bust out his mummy shadow giant thing and Sandy showed off again how fucking awesome he is.

Only after both of his friends at least got a chance to fight Macaque was MK forced to do something, which was hurting Macaque where it hurts o7

.

Episode 6

I have absolutely no excuse, I just love Red Son especially when he interacts with MK LMAO

Bc like Red Son BACKSTORY- and also Red Son with his hair down is- literally fucking amazing then also spicynoodles food is always appreciated

(MK joking about asking for milk and a blanket and then Red Son actually going to get them HHHH- *wails* he so wholesome RIP)

I literally memorized the whole episode in Chinese since I was using the subbed Chinese version to translate it myself (to test my knowledge of the language and whatnot).

It got taken down on YouTube though and I spent a whole week cursing myself for not downloading it RIP

But pspspspsps if anyone still has s3e6 with only Chinese sub somewhere in their computer could you like- shoot me the link or smth bc I like reading the characters more then reading the English ones sometimes k ty for your service👌

.

Episode 8

I actually used to feel indifferent about this episode but once my focus drifted not only to Monkie Kid but ALSO to Journey of the West I became super intrested in this one specifically.

Essentially, I really like Macaque character development, in Monkie Kid the show, but after I learned more (read: remembered all the stuff about JTTW after I hyper-fixated on it a few years ago) about Zhu Ba Jie, Tripitaka, and Sandy I was like- Bro these characters kinda banging actually.

So long story short I grew fond of the message in the story and how Tang handles himself.

The scene where everything comes to a head and Tang gives his speech while Pigsy starts singing (OH MY FUCKING GOD PIGSY SINGING THOUGH HOLY SHIT EVERYTIME IT’S LIKE JFC MANS GOT BARS AND HE’S AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND FFFF-) is my favorite, especially since Macaque gets left behind and gets incapacitated by the electricity.

Idk why but having Macaque get held back by that specific reason is like wrapping up a story all nice a neat with a bow y’know? Like it wasn’t ‘Oh noooo, Tang suddenly awoke these strange powers and Macaque was no match for them’ or ‘Ohhh nooo, Macaque let him go because he was moved by Tang’s speech’ (LMAO yeah right).

It was ‘well because of the conduction of electricity through the metal wiring of the lantern when Macaque’s body came in contact with the metal the electricity also flowed through him, not hurting him but instead paralyzing him making Tang able to get away’

I like logical explanations what can I say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Then of course I can’t forget about...

These actual fucking dumbasses. I love them so much it’s not even funny bro they are so cool and awesome o7

.

Finally, the honorable mention of an episode that I would count as one of my favorite but just didn't make the cut because it’s the fucking last episode so of course it’d have some shit that makes it better then the rest lmao

Episode 10

There’s so many things to talk about in this, we’ve got 

Tang actually knowing how to do magic rituals apparently

Oh yeah: Mei being the literal Fire of Samadhi

Uh Macaque and Wu Kong going through their divorce arc for the fifth time and fighting in front of the kids (🙄)

Ne Zha being fucking awesome

MK having abandonment issues

and-

RED SON WOO HE’S BACKKKK LETS FUCKING GO IF DRAGONFRUIT BECOMES CANNON I WILL BE KINDA SAD THO (I’m sorry but to me Dragonfruit Shipping looks like a bisexual w/ a preference for women getting into a relationship with a gae man RIP)

I live for Mei and Red Son becoming besties that ask each other about dating advice though *wheeze* 

Red Son’s like: “Okay he’s asking for my number, and so I told him it but now he keeps calling me? Is it a normal thing for humans to pester each other so much once they get to know one another?”

Mei: B R O  WAIT-

The biggest highlight for me was Macaque flinching at Wu Kong getting mad at him in which- Gimme a second I’m just gonna-

I’M CRYING RN HE LITERALLY WAS SO HAPPY AFTER HE GOT THE FUKCING ICE OFF OF HIMSELF LIKE MACAQUE WAS SO PROUD SAYING “Oh it worked :D” BUT AFTER WU KONG TURNS TO HIM HIS FACE JUST d r o p s AND WU KONG LITERALLY PULLED HIM OUT OF HIS SHADOW PORTAL HE WAS SO MAD AND THEN WHEN MK GAVE HIS SPEECH MACAQUE AND WU KONG WERE JUST stAring AT EACH OTHER LIKE FUCK WE SHOULD’VE DONE THAT WE ARE DUMBASSES FFF-

Yeah that small detail made me feel a lot of things lmao, but it’s understandable y’know I just want the best for them and Macaque redemption arc is something that I would love to see o7

(Btw I posted the clip of the scene I had a mini-meltdown over)

I need to see a scene where one of them relives their past friendship and the argument that lead to Macaque getting hurt so baddddd

Surprisingly though, Macaque and Wu Kong interacting + Red Son’s appearance isn’t enough to make this my favorite episode SIMPLY because it’s the last episode so I feel it has a bias there since a lot was supposed to happen anyway 

.

Final thing I’m going to do is rate all the s3 episodes from 1-5 because I feel like it lol
