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

[quitealotofsodapop]

Will Nezha and his brothers get a proper face to face reunion? Or is that a little off the table with their dad situation?(Sorry if you answered this already.)

In the TMKATI au? Not for a long time (prev post about the bros in the au here & here)

Part of the issue is that Nezha's older brothers had been teenagers when he was born, and honestly had a really hard time bonding with him when they were all mortal. Having a younger brother that's a snake-like demon-creature cus your mom was secretly a celestial princess makes things complicated.

And the fact Li Jing was openly disgusted by Nezha to the point of destroying his own son's temple/death shrine out of bitterness.

The next time either Jinzha or Muzha is said to have encountered their brother is when their father Li Jing was running for his mortal life from his resurrected son - now in a fiery god/asura-like form wreathed in lotuses. Li Jing demands that Muzha protect him as he flees, and after a tense battle; Nezha kills Muzha with a golden brick. Muzha shows up again later less than pleased, but is overall chill with it. Though considering that Li Jing literally sacrificed his middle son to save his own skin, it's no wonder why Muzha peaced out of the Celestial Realm afterwards to become Guanyin's disciple Moksa/Hui An on earth.

Jinzha was already working for the Buddha by this point, so he was a little out of the loop considering that the whole Investiture Crisis was going on.

Edit: Jinzha is instructed to flog Nezha by his master Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun when the deity stopped Nezha from killing Lu Jing + stopped Li Jing from self-deleting. No wonder none of these bros talk.

In the modern day the three barely consider each other brothers. The eldest two have all but officially denounced Li Jing as their father, and the only reason Nezha hasn't is cus Li Jing keeps him on a tight leash with the Pagoda + emotional abuse.

The healthiest thing that happens to Nezha in the last couple hundred years (at least in the TMKATI au) is him being "punished" by being sent down to the mortal realm in his true form. And of course since this ask came about pre-S5, Li Jing does seem like that sort of incompetent/petty as to kick his own kid out of Heaven for an argument gone sour.

Even if the three brothers reunite and bond over their shared terrible dad, it's a long road to go.

What is Redson's secret base?

Or for people who don't know, the place where Redson trains Mei in Season 4, Embrace your destiny, and later in season 5, Claim to Flame

This place-

Now I know I might be reading into it a bit, but like honestly, why does Redson just know about this place that neither of his parents, that's appeared in the show, don't??

Be warned, I ain't a professional on Chinese Mythology and JTTW so this is truly speculation. If anyone has criticism or more info, always share I do like learning and correcting mistakes

Onward- I think it's an old Temple for Guanyin and/or Muzha

For those who don't know, in JTTW, Redboy, not Redson in the book, I think, actually was defeated with the help of several people, including Guanyin (though she helps Wukong like every day this was normal), but this time around Redboy foolishly pretended to be Guanyin and tricked Pigsy (Zhu Bajie). She wasn't having that. So she got a bunch of Celestial swords, turned them into her Lotus platform, pretended to leave, then Redson sat on the Flower because he thought he was the bees knees and ended up going through severe pain (surprise swords hurt). Guanyin then casted the Binding Spell on Redboy, shaved his head, and claimed him as her disciple from then on. Don't worry Redboy became better we see in latter parts.

Summary of the summary- Redboy is a disciple of Guanyin

Now LMK is different so Guanyin prob didn't cast the spell of SNATCHED or used the swords of HAH YOU THOUGHT so here's what I think is their relationship and how it impacts my theory

After the Samadhi Fire incident, at some point PIF asked Guanyin for help in training Redson with his fire powers, and she accepted, mentoring him

Technically, she lives in the Southern Seas and not mountains, so this place is obviously not her home, but it's possibly a training ground. This would also mean that Muzha, Guanyin's other disciple and Nezha's older brother, would train him. Now here's some facts to prove this

The place is found on a mountain, now while Guanyin doesn't have information on living or having temples on mountains, Muzha does

Its guessed, aka im using Google, that Muzha lives in the Western Foothills, which means the mast ranges of Mountains, so him having an extra Temple/House makes sense

Redson goes on to call these "7th century Mo Dao" or something like that was hard to hear. Now JTTW takes place in the 7th century, and Redson admits that it's hard to find these specific spears, so what if they were given him to Muzha back in the day and they've just been sitting the Place. Maybe this is what Muzha also used to teach Redson to fight

Aka the shack we first see Mei in-

Now we see Redson have a more love for meditation than in prior seasons/episodes, which is weird considering his Anger Issues

So what if Guanyin helped him with that? In the Revenge of the Spider Queen, he calms down to ask nicely to steal their ship, which looks like he almost burst a nerve but he tried!!

Is it possible that PIF taught him to control his anger? Yes. But as the goddess of Mercy and Compassion, Guanyin is all about that meditation and calmness, she's a Bodhisattva too.

So in Redson's speech of Meditation later on, it could be the same thing Guanyin told him, except for the smit your enemies prob

Now most Guanyin Statues have her holding a Jar of water in her left with an olive branch in her right.

In fact, the only time we saw Guanyin the show so far is when Tang is describing Redson's story, though it might be different

Also, if you notice on the bottom of the statue, you see a Lotus pattern similar to Nezha's

Now Guanyin is known for sitting upon a Lotus flower, so this isn't far fetched, also Nezha's brother IS Muzha, so maybe they sometimes get mixed up (as siblings do) even with their statues

Now If the statue looks to masculine do remember Guanyin is sometimes seen and as a man and sometimes as a women, and sometimes both or neither, she cool like that

Next, again with the statue, the things being offered, fruit, a candle, and a jar of something, now according to Google, beware yall ITS GOOGLE-

Fruit is one of the five standard offerings made to Guanyin, along with flowers, water, oil or light, and incense

Isn't that cute he's making offerings to his past teacher!!! Now as a demon it's strange to make ANY offerings to gods, so it makes sense if it's Guanyin or Muzha

Now I will say this statue ALSO looks like Nuwa, and there's clay figures in acloves nearby so like I'm not 100% sure

Also the place around the Shack of Meditation is Bamboo, which is common in China but is also a significant plant for Guanyin and Muzha (I think) this is based on interpretations I've seen where bamboo is seen in her place at the Souther Seas (from OSP) or where Muzha's outfits include depictions of bamboo (Art here on Tumblr)

FINNALY, last notes

1. This place is introduced ONLY when the Samadhi fire is included, which is the whole reason Guanyin became Redboy's Master/mentor in JTTW ar all

2. Redson comments that this place is one of the few places LBD has taken, and if it's under protection of Muzha and/or Guanyin, it makes sense they powerful gods/goddesses

3. I just think it's neat and maybe foreshadowing for a future episode where we'll see Guanyin and Redson backstory, maybe a repeat of Redson's lines for thet DRAMATIC EFFECT

That's all have a nice day, my hand hurts:')

Also I'm not sure if anyone knows but like I have a YouTube playlist with all the LMK episodes for free, which is how I learn stuff quickly qnd get the screenshots, if anyone wants it I'll dm the link 👍

Man Nezha does NOT want a baby sibling 😭

Continuation of

Nope. No he does not. Jinzha ans Muzha? They don’t care, they already are older brothers. What one more kid? But Nezha is the baby of the family, and maaaayyybe that plays into it.

He doesn’t realize it at first, but he’s jealous. If they have another kid, that takes Jing’s attention away. It’s dumb, he knows, he’s not 5 anymore. He’s an adult for heavens sake! He’s in charge of the celestial realm and everything!

But Nezha and Jing have only just started rebuilding their relationship. Nezha isn’t ready for that. Thankfully, neither is Jing, so no potential baby anytime soon.

Besides, Nezha thinks it’s hilarious to watch Lionsword scramble, and takes active participation in bullying Jing along side his brothers.

[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.

Hi! I hope you're doing fantastic. Your poetry about the clouds and sun is so ... POIGNANT. Are you excited about LMK S5? How do you think it's gonna start out? Would you prefer for it to be high stakes right away or low stakes but slowly building up to it? Do you think we'd see any other JTTW characters in it, or maybe in later seasons? What kind of character do you want to see in the next season, in terms of personality and role?

Also, I absolutely hate doing this but could you please ask @loupsbane why they've blocked me again I am absolutely baffled on why this keeps happening to me.

Have a great month, eat your meals regularly, don't skip your breakfast or medicine!

first of all thank you

Are you excited about LMK S5?

yes I am very excited for season 5

How do you think it's gonna start out? Would you prefer for it to be high stakes right away or low stakes but slowly building up to it?

If I had to choose to start season 5 I would say low stakes but slowly building up to it

Do you think we'd see any other JTTW characters in it, or maybe in later seasons?

I think that surely more jttw characters will appear as new characters or in flashbacks, personally I would bet that Erlang Shen could appear

What kind of character do you want to see in the next season, in terms of personality and role?

Ugh I have a very long list of characters I want to appear and now that you've asked I'm going to ramble on about it, bad luck for you

starting with the most probable:

The mayor

I want to know more about the character, what he was like before meeting LBD and being the mayor, getting to know his relationship with her in depth. Is he just a henchman or does he have his own motivations? what was he doing during Lady Bone Demon's confinement.

Erlang shen

I'm really dying to see what kind of character Lego Erlang Shen is, what kind of complex character he can be, will he be a villain, an antagonist or maybe an ally? Will being a demigod be important for his character? what will his relationship with Sun Wukong be like? They will be like sworn brothers or enemies

guanyin goddess of mercy

I really want to know what the lmk writers will do with Guanyin, how important his role would be in the series, taking into account his importance in Journey to the West, I think it would be great if it turned out that all this time Guanyin was secretly watching over MK and his friends helping them without them knowing. I mean, she always helped the pilgrims on their journey and could do the same for mk and his friends. I also wonder if his relationship with Red Son exists in lmk.

Ao bing

I really want Ao bing to appear, I don't care how or why. basically because I think it would be cool for the fandom to see that Monkey King isn't the only one with skeletons in the closet. It would also be interesting to see Nezha face someone from his past that he thought was buried and that he would never see again

Do you think we'd see any other JTTW characters in it

characters I want to see

Taibai Jinxing (Gold star of venus) I would really like him to appear to help the protagonists

Nezha's family I would like to see Nezha's family even if it's just in flashbacks, especially muzha and LI Jing

lady earth Flow I'm really curious to know what his design would be like in the series.

Jade faced fox although if she appeared I highly doubt that her relationship with the demon Bull King would be the same as in the novel

The ones that are least likely to appear but I want them to appear so bad:

Spindrax

I know the writers wrote it off for Strong Spider, but it would be great to see the spiders again. Maybe as an idea here the character of Spindrax wants to revive the spider queen or maybe avenge the spider queen, the writers could use to spindrax to show us spider queen's past and also give mei a badass biker rival (cough girlfriend cough)

Rumble & Savage

I know that many think that the macaque is practically redeemed, if they think that that is perfectly fine. but in my opinion I do not agree with that, because the basic thing in a redemption is that the character realizes his mistakes and repents of his bad actions, Yes, Macaque helped defeat the bad guys and everything. but he has no regrets for the damage he did to mk and his friends I thought it would be great for Macaque's future redemption arc to have him face his own past mistakes and what better way to do that is face the little versions of himself who want revenge of you and they won't hesitate to hurt your loved ones in the process just to see you suffer (cough karma cough)

Bone spirits

I really wanted to see Lady Bone Demon's army in the specials, They are literally the only villainous army not to make an appearance in the show and which I think is a big waste imagine that the mayor was not the only follower of lbd, if there were other followers and allies of her, plus it would be interesting to see more spirits or demons like LBD, besides I love his designs I mean who doesn't like skeletons with hoods.

[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.

[fili-the-jester]

SWK: *duck taped to a chair*

Nezha: If you stopped biting people you wouldn't be here

SWK: *glares*

Nezha: Don't give me that look, you were given a warning to stop

SWK: *glares hard*

Nezha: You're impossible

Muzha (nezha's bio brother) : *walks in* You know I remember when I had to give you this talk, be greatful, it's an old brother right of passage

Nezha: get out

SWK: *sticks out tongue*

(i've cracked, old bro nezha nice to meet u)

Yes, having a talk with your younger sibling while they are duct taped to a chair is an older sibling rite of passage :3

Nezha in LMK just gives me the vibes of an older brother who has to deal with his younger brother’s shenanigans constantly.

And then Sun Wukong is the younger brother whose always causing trouble.

[weaverpop]

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

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.

[ep2nd]

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

[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]

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.)
