"Bai he only saw one side of Wukong. Macaque remembers when he was the Wukong he adored." Bloody hell break my heart why don't you.
Also, you metioned that Wukong make Macaque a celestial monkey - can you explain that please?
Of course I can!
Their is only three naturally born celestial primates, that is :
Sun Wukong
"Knows transformations, recognizes the seasons, Discerns the advantages of earth."
Red-bottomed horse monkey
"Has knowledge of yin and yang, Understands human affairs, Is adept in its daily life And able to avoid death and lengthen its life."
Long Armed Gibbon
"Seize the sun and the moon, distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars."
The Six Eared Macaque and his sister, The Two-Faced Macaque, are cosmetically made celestial primates. To be turned into a celestial primate is to be given a piece of their power by their blood.
Macaque drank Wukong's blood with wine (because of his previous experience with almost being cannibalised by his sister..).
The Two-Faced Macaque drank the blood of the long armed Gibbon after being revived by the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey.

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'd say I'm becoming a nerd, but that ship sailed a long time ago. I guess I'm just expanding my nerdiness to other areas.
Anyway, MORE MYTHOLOGY!
So in Journey to the West, the Buddha explains that there are 4 'spiritual primates' that don't fit into any categories for immortals or types of creatures. Fans of Lego Monkie Kid are likely familiar with 2, the Stone Monkey Sun Wukong and the Six Eared Macaque. The other 2, the Long-armed Gibbon and the Red-Buttocked Baboon are a lot more obscure. They only get a brief mention in JttW because the focus of the chapter they appear in is Macaque, but the idea of a set of super powerful Immortal monkeys is just too fun to pass up, you know? So I've been thunking my thinker.
What if each primate was associated with a different realm (mortal, heavenly, lunar, and underworld) and element? I know the 4 elements (earth, water, wind, fire) are a western idea rooted in alchemy and eastern mythology has 5 elements (earth, water, fire, metal, wood), but there aren't 5 monkeys and this is just a thought experiment and not me trying to force western ideas onto eastern culture.
Got it? Good.
Now, Sun Wukong is very solidly earth because he's, you know, a rock. No surprise there. He was also born in the mortal realm and spent most of his life there, so we'll call him the celestial primate of the mortal realm while we're at it.
The Six-Eared Macaque is another easy one. A lot of LMK fannon associates him with wind, inferring that his heightened hearing has something to do with wind magic. He's also very closely tied to the moon because of the line in "Shadow Play" where he directly compares the Warrior (himself) to the moon. So Macaque is the celestial primate of wind and the Lunar realm.
Now here's where we get a bit more speculative and start using information creatively. There are 2 monkeys, realms, and elements left I want to use, so let's start with the monkeys so everyone has a baseline understanding.
The Long Armed Gibbon (Gibs, from now on) is described as being able to "seize the sun and moon, shorten a thousand mountains, distinguish auspicious from inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars."
The Red Buttocked Baboon (Babs for short) has "knowledge of yin and yang, understands human affairs, is adept I'd daily life and can avoid death and lengthen its life."
Starting with the realms because they seem easiest to assign, I would give Gibs the Heavenly realm because of its ability to move around celestial objects like the sun, moon, planets, and stars. This leaves the Underworld to Babs, which I think fits nicely because their "knowledge of yin and yang" and "understand[ing] of human affairs" would make them a good assistant to the 10 Kings of the Underworld.
Next comes the 2 remaining elements, water and fire, which are a bit tricky because it could go both ways.
Gibs could be fire because the sun and stars are giant balls of burning plasma, but also water because the sky/heavens are often associated with an ocean or other bodies of water in several different mythologies. For example, in Egyptian mythology, Ra sailed his boat through the sky every day, while in early Abrahamic belief the sky was a huge dome with water on the other side, and rain happened when floodgates were opened to let the water through. In Chinese myth specifically, the Milky Way is often depicted as a river that is sailed through by various deities.
Babs could fit with fire as well because underworlds and hell-adjacent places are often shown to have fires to torment and punish the sinful dead, no surprise there. But there is surprisingly a lot of water symbolism in the realm of the dead as well. For example, some people may be familiar with the Japanese idea of the Sanzu River, very similar in concept to the Greek River Styx, as well as the Chinese Huang Quan/Yellow springs.
Personally I would pair Babs with fire because he has red in his name, making him the celestial primate of fire and the Underworld.
That leaves Gibs to be the celestial primate of water and the Heavenly realm.
I feel pretty good about this, but if anyone else has other ideas I'd love to hear them.

What does MK think of Bai He?
Tw : Eye gouging
That's a very complicated question.
MK sees Bai he as The Ivory Woman, a being created to bring perfection to the world. He sees her as a tool, a piece in Master Yuzhiqin's goal. But, in his own twisted way, he admires her.
She killed the Monkey King, The Long Armed Gibbon, The Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, The Two-Faced Macaque, and she led out the Six-eared Macaque to him. He admires her for that, which is why she allowed her to live with a mere warning.
That mere warning was gouging out her eye.

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..."

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”

friendships
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She found a friend, she totally doesn't have attachment issues. Who told you that? HAHAHAH!
IT WAS YOU WASN'T IT! AAAH- Yuan has problems, Nezha has been trying to help those problems like for an example of not NOT EATING PEOPLE! Ooo mini comic idea.
Please note their friendship is only platonic their no romance, Yuan is just clingy to the point Nezha has to find ways to return to heaven without altering them. He cares Nezha is just a busy god.
I want to go in a deep dive in their friendship so I can keep note of it. Future stories and stiff. But just know they are close, they allow hugs and touches and half of the time Yuan tries to eat Nezha.
Guess old habits die hard.
Btw mary chreesmas also pls know the lmk request OC..drawing? Is still there! So I guess it can be you guys Christmas present? I think half of you don't celebrate it but ya know..presents!
