Hi! I wanted to ask something.
Like, most of us knows there are 4 Spiritual Monkeys in the legend(book)... Do the Wukongs and theyr LEM's ever tought about looking for them? Cause mines did and It was chaos
Tongbi: Wait... why there are not other us, Chikao? *Sad precious sunshine noises*
Chikao: We are probably lucky in theyr universes to not having to ature theyr "bullduey"
*Wukong and Liu'er fighting in the most platonic way possible*
(If you are wandering who Tongbi and Chikao are, Chikao = Baboon and Tongi = Gibbon. And both are girls)
Love them and all the different versions people are coming up with! Bonus: the @journeytothewestresearch post about them!
I've been personally calling them "Babs" = Baboon (Chikao mahou, 赤尻馬猴) and "Gibs" = Gibbon (Tongbi yuanhou, 通臂猿猴) as a nickname! XD
My idea is that they are the older of the four *known* celestial primates, with the oldest celestial primate being the since-ascended Shen Monkey who raced for the Jade Emperor.
Tongbi/Gibs has a naturally stretchy body (think like Monkey D Luffy) and is very optimistic. Whilst, Chikao/Babs is more of a realist with the power of reading a person's thoughts/intentions (an interpretation I have for "Understands human affairs,").
My personal hc backstory for them is that;
Tongbi/Gibs was born/hatched along the Heavenly River, her species limbs stretching to allow them to climb, swim and dance between the clouds and astral waterways. She could be considered the "Fresh-Water Monkey" for this reason. Her egg had actually fallen to earth during the Great Flood when the fifth Heavenly Pillar broke, and was found by a tribe of proto-humans (of which Fuxi originated) that raised her as their own. She lived with them for many years before deciding to seek out others of her kind - where upon she met Chikao/Babs
Menawhile, Chikao/Babs was actually born into the Underworld amongst demonkind. Her fellow demons did not understand why she had hatched from a egg-shaped stone that sat undisturbed in the demon-capital city of Youdu for many millennia, but they accepted her as their colleague nonetheless. When Chikao/Babs came of age, she was trained to carry out the duties of a Psychopomp; to gather and bring deceased soul before Yama and the Ten Kings, the same duties as Ox-Head and Horse-Face. She could be considered the "Abyss Monkey" for her gloomy origin.
The two celestial monkeys meet by pure chance when Chikao/Babs herself nearly dies trying to collect the soul of a reluctant water demon. Tongbi/Gibs saved her, and it was love/fascination at first sight like Little Mermaid.
The two female monkeys are soulmates in a yin-yang like dynamic. One stern and aloof, the other silly and expressive. They began seeking out others of their kind almost immediately after meeting - failing until they found a certain little stone monkey being cared for by an old mentor.
I made a joke post a while back about these two finding little Sun Wukong early and raising him as their own, and now I can't stop thinking of it! The Netflix and Smash Legends SWKs are who I most imagine as having the two super-powered moms, but I could def see an AU of Lego SWK having moms. X3
Chikao and Tongbi def be cringing hard at how bad their son is fumbling expressing his feelings for Macaque, and for how bad Macaque is at confronting *his* feelings!

my design for Gibby aka the long armed gibbon
Tumblr media
Her hair is wild so she styles it, I know that gibbons don’t have tails but I decided to have her one, and let’s just say she thought it was unfair that she didn’t have a tail so she shape-shift one for her
Pronouns: She/her/they/them
gender: Demi girl
powers: she has a lot so just look them up
She use to have a relationship with the red bottom baboon but not anymore since “The incident”, sometimes helps MK with his training(their basic a parental figure to him), she also got a scar from “the incident”, her favorite fruit is durian, she doesn’t like the smell, she just likes the taste of it
you can tell if a gibbon is a male or female because the males have a black fur coat and the females have a tan fur coat

I neeeeeeeddddddd to know how these two heal after the divorce arc! do those "bigger cracks" in their relationship get patched up? does Macaque grow to better understand the political position Wukong was in (his reason for staying emperor)? do they learn how to communicate finally? what does their "happy ending" look like, a domestic life on FFM with many adopted kids? who gets pissed about the change of leadership, do they try and give the monkeys grief? is Wukong ever able to get more approval from his in-laws, considering leaving behind the throne (among many other gestures he gives Macaque to "repay" him) is a pretty big commitment?
(no pressure to reveal things, I just REALLY loooovveeee the Heavenly Emperor AU and am dying to know how the future goes for these silly little monkeys)

Giving Mac a chance to really become a person before he feels he can come back into something with Wukong and Wukong finally letting go of needing to protect and repay him is something I think they needed before they could settle and finally work on their life and family-
Yeah that’s the gist really- again it’s more a rp prompt for me 😅

The Long-Armed Gibbon and The Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey
Tumblr media
“ The second is the Red-Buttocked Horse-Monkey, who has knowledge of yin and yang, understands human affairs, is adept in its daily life and able to avoid death and lengthen its life.”
“The third is the Long-Armed Gibbon who can seize the sun and the moon, shorten a thousand mountains, distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars. “

Older gay monkeys*
Tumblr media
*i know one of them is an ape
Tongbei Yuanhou(left) and Chikao Mahou(right) are the first celestial primates.
They are much older than Wukong and Macaque. And they're just a gay but much healthier about it.
When the pillar of creation first broke, all the chaos that flooded into the realm needed to go somewhere so boom, you got a gibbon made from the waters flooding the realm and a mandrill made from fires. They literally popped into the end of the world and had to deal with that on their first day of existing.
They are much less problematic than their youngers, they're still nuisances, but they aren't nearly as destructive about it. And they have more useful powers.
Mahou did a lot of work in the underworld cause they're powers are basically being socially aware and a good judge of people. And not dying.
Has knowledge of yin and yang, Understands human affairs, Is adept in its daily life And able to avoid death and lengthen its life.
Yuanhou did work in the celestial realm as basically a glorified moving man, he just moved shit around.
Seize the sun and the moon, Shorten a thousand mountains, Distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, And manipulate planets and stars
They knew each other before they started their respective jobs because they came into existence the same day and immediately clocked that they're a pair. Somewhere along the line they found themselves in a romantic relationship don't ask them how, neither of them know.
They are on good terms with most people, mostly because they aren't nearly as annoying as their disaster gay youngers, and they like to hang with Buddha cause they don't got much to do that often, their nominal bosses would like to have a word about that but never get their attention long enough.
Buddha sent them to oversee Macaque after his fight with Wukong during the journey, they were basically his parole officers guiding him away from revenge and towards self improvement. Cause they ship the disaster monkeys and need them to talk shit out. It worked and they get a niece out it.
They've been chilling since they let their kids take over their duties, their kids are better at it than they are anyway(cause they actually do it). And now they spend their time hanging with their buds, making Mount Everest taller, and watching their favorite gay monkeys be not disasters and functional for once. (they'll be back to disaster gay status soon enough)
They show up in chapter 13 of Little Star, and I finally got character art done before the chapter they first appear in.
I based Mahou's design on a mandrill even though most of what I've seen is him as a baboon, because mandrills have brighter colored face masks in the references I was looking through. Yuanhou's mask is an upside down five points star because of his whole moving celestial bodies thing.
Yuanhou is also the only one who is not a monkey, he's an ape and therefore the reason why they are celestial primates and not just celestial monkeys.

how I think the other spiritual primates will react to seeing MK being Monkey Kings apprentice
Long armed gibbon: “oh mi gosh!, hello, I’m The long armed gibbon, but you can call me Gibby or Gib, whatever makes you happy, it’s nice to meet you, if Wukong is okay with it or isn’t around, I can train you, if you like, I mean, there’s nothing wrong with having too many mentors”
The red bottom baboon: “why hello, you must be MK, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I heard that Gibby offered to help you with your apprenticeship, I also heard that Macaque also once taught you but he “betrayed�� you, but they are right, there is nothing wrong with having to many mentors”

If the Gibbon and/or Baboon told Wukong about the Stone Eggs before leaving earth, why wouldn't they make a pit stop on the moon to give Macaque the same talk?
They honestly probably did!
On their way off-planet they took a rest stop with Chang'e before leaving the solar system. They probably met Macaque this way, all primates super-surprised to see eachother.
Young Macaque: *has never seen another monkey before* ◉ ̫ ◉ Babs and Gibs: *did not expect to see a monkey on the moon* Babs: "Uh..." Gibs: "Hi little one!"
The two older monkeys stay on the moon longer than they had planned (Chang'e was delighted for the company) so that they could impart basic monkey knowledge since Macaque and the other lunar deities didn't know any of it.
They get to the; "Make sure not to bury yourself, or you're body will start to make a Stone Egg that could kill you" - talk after a good few teaching sessions about the regular way monkey infants get made. It left the little moon-shadow monkey very disturbed.
Ironically the pair forgot to specify that it was an ability *special* to Stone Monkeys. Macaque spent years thinking that *any* one could accidentally create a Stone Egg if they got buried for long enough.
First time he saw someone taking a mud bath, he started screaming.
As for Macaque knowing that Wukong was under the mountain... he sorta assumed since his head was exposed, the Stone Egg process couldn't happen. Like, he thought maybe you needed to be completely airtight for your body to start doing it.
In the aus where Macaque returns to see a Stone Egg-pregnant Wukong, he still has a moment of "Who did this to you!? I'll kill them!" before he remembers "Oh yeah..."
