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.

Does the li family have any phobias?

And on that topic how does nezha handle MKs arachnophobia? I'm sure it's gotten somewhat better cause of the spider gang, in that he doesn't freak out at the sight of every spider, maybe just the really big and venomous ones.

But I can also see it having also worsened in that rather 50/50 flight or freeze it's now 25/75 freeze or fight. Many a hole in the wall has had to be fixed.

Tw talk about phobias!

Hmmm phobias…

I personally think Jing would have aerophobia. (Technically fear of flying, but I couldn’t find the one that was just the plane itself) He loves Nezha and his little machines, but like he’ll is he gotta get on that death machine. He’d rather drive or go on a boat. Al least with them you gotta chance! (No i’m not projecting)

Azure has Iatrophobia (fear of doctors) to nobody’s suprised. But he ALSO has a phobia of thunder, (Astraphobia) which isn’t too surprising since, yk, cat.

Jinzha has musophobia (fear of mice)! They chewed his clothes one time when he was like, 5. He was never the same.

Muzha would have Dentophobia! (Fear of the dentist) He takes VERY good care of his teeth, and struggles with going to the dentist VERY badly. He only goes if absolutely necessary. (Removing his wisdom teeth was a nightmare)

Nezha, of course, has Iatrophobia (fear of doctors). It’s ironic after finding out Jing was a nurse. He also has trypanophobia (fear of needles). The two thing don’t make a great combo.

Mocha has no phobias. She feels fear like everyone else, but she just… kinda doesn’t have one that bad? She’s an outlier.

Nezha actually takes MK’s arachnophobia very well. He’s not suprised, since it’s so common among mortals and even some celestials. And while Mk has gotten better about Spider Demons, actual spiders are still a big ol’ NOPE for Mk. Nezha found it cute at first… until around the third time he’s had to help replaster and repaint walls from the many spider deaths. He eventually starts setting little traps and stuff, and that seems to keep them at bay. Mk basically worships Nezha for a few days afterward.

(All the Li’s have Atychiphobia (Fear of Failure))

Who would you cast as who if there was a Muppets JTTW film and which character would be the token human?

Oooo I've had this conversation before! I remember cause there were so many options! Like maybe the token Sanzang human so that he just kidnapped by muppets would be funnier. Or the token Wujing human just cause he is in the background but the most serious the group could fit!

But I have decided that a Wukong played with a human would be the funniest option for several reasons. And Yes I am basing this on humor a lot as I believe the muppets are best when they are hilarious. I would have Wukong as the token human cast because he is the 'main character' so to speak and thus would have the most lines/emotional delivery that would be best by a human actor (like Muppet Treasure Island or with Christmas Carol) Also have a real martial artist play Wukong and fighting fucking muppet-yao would be the best. If I had to choose an actor I can't say I know a lot of martial artists actors (who aren't retired) but I thought Simu Liu did a great job in both action and performance so maybe him or someone with similar talent fighting wise.

Sanzang has to be Kermit. Like there is no other options really. Sure Kermit could also be Wujing but really who else could play that well-meaning if not also slighty-always-frustrated-and-please-stop-starting-shit attitude. Tell me this isn't Sanzang trying to tell off his three yao-disciples in the Ginseng Fruit arc to stop stealing shit.

I really think Kermit would bring that overall good nature that Sanzang deserves in a role while still showing his own flaws of being stubborn and exasperated. The mom-friend of the group barely kept it together and just Kermit taking being kidnapped by demons with a grain of salt. I love Kermit and think he deserves his time on screen.

Bajie has to Miss Piggy. I was thinking maybe Miss Piggy as Guanyin just for extra laughs of the Goddess of Mercy coming down and throat-chopping demons to help Wukong and the gang out but honestly, I feel like Miss Piggy deserves to be a bigger star. A woman that just wants to find love and will often let her selfish nature get in the way. Also I can see her being a great comedic duo always egging the human-Wukong on trying to get him in trouble. She is a diva and honestly would think her playing the gluttonous and lazy Bajie as more of a vain and selfish angle would still bring in big laughs.... also letting her throat chop literally anyone that messes with her.

Wujing would be Gonzo. I'll be honest this was kinda the hardest cause I think thinking Kermit for Wujing for so long but I think that the cannibal turned monk would be best by the most daredevil and gravity-defying member the Great Gonzo. Wujing doesn't get enough spotlight and seeing Gonzo, someone who often looks danger in the eye and welcomes it play such a role would be amazing. Gonzo always plays a great supporting role and I think he would bring a grounded air of nonchalance while still happily joining the wacky of hijinks that I think would portray Wujing nicely.

Honestly I was going to have Bailong just be a muppet horse (you know the ones) but honestly, it could just be funnier if it was Rizzo or something. Cause Rizzo REFUSING to join in any shenanigans out of his own free will cause he rather be sleeping/eating could be a hilarious explanation as to why Bailong isn't in most fights. Also might be easier than having Kermit on a muppet horse all the time, just having them walking. So yeah I think that would be solid.

Honorable mentions:

Fozzie Bear - Black Wind Demon, he didn't mean to steal, he thought that Cassok was free!

Rowlf the Dog - Erlang Shen AND Howling Sky Dog, trust me he makes it work

Scooter - Guanyin or Muzha, he just trying his best

Pepe the King Prawn - Ao Guang

Animal - The Jade Emporer

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem (please extras) - the 8 immortals

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew - Laozi

Beaker - Furnace Assistant

Sam Eagle - Pagoda King Li

Statler and Waldorf - Every single Tudi

The Swedish Chef - Yellow Brow Demon (especially enjoys trying to cook Kermit-Sanzang)

And that is my thoughts at least! I hope that you like the ideas but I love heating what others think!

[margueritedaisies]

I just love drawing families of fictional characters, its interesting to think of how each sibling would look. I try to make them different from one another but at the same time maintain familial similarities.

Jinzha resembles their mom, Muzha their dad, and Nezha's a good mix of both.

Also get ready with some sibling dynamic rant, mostly relation HCs by me.

Enough with the parent child dynamic

I want sibling dynamic. Where these three come to terms on what happened between them. Specifically Muzha and Nezha's interaction is the one I want to see.

Tbh those two's fates in the myth reminded me of Hyakkimaru and Tahomaru in Dororo.

Like Nezha and Muzha had so much potential to gain solidarity with each other. Because Jinzha could never relate to them as the ignored or unwanted child. Muzha has that middle child stuggle fr.

Muzha is the one so eager to gain their fathers favor trying to meet Jinzha's level . Nezha wants nothing from his father so he makes himself worse.

Muzha's frustration with Nezha is that Nezha is rebellious, disrespectful of their dad

While Nezha's frustration to Muzha is that Muzha is so blinded and always struggling to achieve something so futile. Deep down he hates how Muzha is suffering this way but he wouldnt speak of it. This is why they always at odds.

They should make a movie focusin the Li brothers fr

Other than overusing the actual myths.

Fuck the ending from the original myth, they didnt even consider how the children felt from all the abuse. Not even mention of Muzha's death.

Enough Ao Bing, what about Muzha???

And the moral lesson is just about "respecting elders"?? The story still had so much to wrap up. How can you call this a family if there is some sort of hierarchal system. A family requires empathy to maintain that connection.

Tbh its kinda realistic

Families and siblings can still inflict trauma from each other .And a story based on reconcilation is a good way for this to be about family counselling.

I wanna see the "what ifs". It could be each brothers own story of self healing from the trauma caused on each other.

Maybe Im getting my hopes up too much, but it could be a development for them to forgive, start anew and an opportunity to connect and catch up on what they missed on each other.

Edit:

As for Jinzha he also has his own struggles as the eldest. Keeping up the station as the golden favored and perfect son. But its Asian family dynamics, which means hes in a lot of pressure. But he is mentally and emotionally strong. The brothers always busy on his studies ,future responsibilities and training to be able to spend time together. Their timetables seemed to be planned out to always not meet. Jinzha especially had less freetime. And if he ever came across any of his brothers, it was only one of them never both.

He doesnt mind being a buffer for the other two feuding but it does stress him out that it will never change. But he'll make sure to give time and attention to both of them as much as he can.

Other than keeping up his fathers expectations he also doesnt want to fail as a big brother to them🥺😭

Muzha and Nezha can see his efforts so they do not dare hold anything against him. Muzha still keeps his competitive attitude when Jinzha's around but accepts any offered kindness from Jinzha. While Nezha enjoys his company when he gets the chance.

Also because I tend to hold on to this little bit of bonding😭🥺🥺Jinzha trying to be the best big bro

Thinking of the contrast in the future where Jinzha was tasked to torture Nezha destroyed me😭😭😭What did Jinzha even feel while he had to do it??

Also here some Nezha with his hair down again

[purble-turble]

so in a previous reblog I realized I'd cut myself off (ADHD and excitement can be a problematic combo in writing) I meant to add that Mk would get involved if Red and Nezha get into a full-on battle. because of course, he would. his two loves or having a very heated battle where they are clearly trying to hurt, or even possibly kill each other. their also both powerful beings with destructive power and are already causing a lot of destruction in the area and threatening people's lives. Assuming this is near the city, or worse inside it even if not, it's a HUGE problem. because it's definitely gonna get both in trouble with Heaven. And given Mk's awareness of what Nezha's dad has done to him in the past, what he, and the celestial realm in general, punishments are like it, he is terrified for there well-being and is despite to try and stop them but neither he can't they won't listen or even acknowledge he's there, they're too focused on the other. so he tries to physically stop them, and that gets him caught in the crossfire of both their attacks. for as strong and tanky as mk is, that's too much damage. but hey it definitely gets the two to stop at least...

all of Mk's crew, Red's family, and even Nezha's brothers have shown up ahead of there father just in time to witness all this, and it's just pure panic and chaos at that point. the sandy tang and mei is rushing MK to the nearest hospital, pigsy stays to fill in wukong the Bull and Li brothers on everything as best he can. the princes just want to go to the hospital with everyone else to be with MK but there being restrained and drilled by their respective families for more answers which leads to some fighting among the parents and brothers. wukong is absolutely done with the madness and after a brief conversation with Pigsy, and his consent, declares that both princes are banned from seeing Mk for the foreseeable future. clearly, all three have a lot of issues and it's negatively affecting everyone involved. he doesn't want to tear them apart permanently but until there are some changes and more importantly therapy is involved Mk will not be allowed to have communication with them and vis versa. to help enforce that decision pigsy has agreed to let Wukong keep mk on FFM after he is discharged from the hospital. Jinzha and Muzha have agreed to make up a different story for there father on what happened. They agree that he will not handle this well at all and acknowledge that he's largely to blame for Nezha's mental state and mindset. there's talk of them taking Nezha to Quanyin since Muzha is her Guard (I've also seen mentioned he's a senior disciple, and I've seen it mentioned that nezha is one of her previous students as well which makes sense so I'm running with that) so he can keep an eye on him and the goddess can ensure he gets the help he needs.

Ooh yeah I love MK getting hurt because of the battle!! Obviously he would try to stop the fight, and yeah I for sure imagine it happening right there in the city. I’m sure Prince Red didn’t go find Nezha with the intent to start a fight of that size, but once they start shouting and shoving each other all bets are off and they basically set half the city on fire :U

…MK is definitely gonna beat himself up over this too. He’s already in a much more stressed mindset and thinking he needs to take everything on himself, partly due to this validation Nezha has been giving him, but I mean, it was his fault that Red got so mad he broke up with him.. and he tried so SO hard to fix that and get Red back, but he just felt like he couldn’t be the person Red needed him to be. And meanwhile Nezha seems to like him just the way he is. He doesn’t feel like he has to change or suppress these feelings of guilt and pressure to help others, which feels nice and validating. The two of them having a complicated history, though… MK should have known that. Maybe he should have gone slower with Nezha… or gone back to Red and talked to him and worked things out before he really made things official.. or this or that or SOMETHING. MK should have done something before it devolved into a battle that nearly destroyed the city ALL BECAUSE OF HIM. AGAIN.

And, listen, obviously none of this is really true. MK is just feeling extra guilty and like he needs to fix everything himself, like he always does (and he’s even extra primed to feel culpable rn tbh) So he’s gonna need a long break and some good ol’ therapy to work through these feelings… who knows if he ever gets back with either Red or Nezha after this?? I mean it was a pretty big and traumatic event for all of them. I could very reasonably see this being the end… but of course, we also know that those two princes are not the type to give up so easily :3c

Cracked Family AU Masterpost

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Liu'er helped his mate out of his portal, right in front of a pair of guards.

“The celestial realm never changes, does it?” Wukong prompted.

“You'd figure after all these years they'd have better security.” He agreed.

“You know the only reason you can do that is because we let you, right?” One of the guards said, pointing his spear at them in some sort of pitiful threat attempt 

The other, much more experienced guard just lowered the first’s staff.

“Leave it.” He snapped.

“Enjoy your visit, please don't steal anything.” The older guard said tiredly.

“No promises.” Wukong smirked.

Liu'er rolled his eyes at his mate’s antics.

“No promises!” Chao-Xing echoed from her spot, clinging to his back.

“Papa is being silly, isn't he?” He asked his daughter.

“Yes! Silly Papa!” She chirped.

“Can you get going, we have a job to do.” The younger guard said, earning himself a slap to the back of the head from his superior.

“Time to visit your uncles Nezha and Bing!” Wukong whooped.

He grabbed Chao-Xing off his back and gently tossed her up.

“And Nuwa.” Liu'er reminded his mate.

Wukong muttered something under his breath, he rolled his eyes at the childishness. He pulled his mate closer to him, cupping his face gently.

“I know you don't like her, and she has a lot she still needs to answer for, but she can't do any of that if you won't let her. Just give her a chance, you know she is trying to be better.” he insisted.

Wukong avoided his gaze with a half hearted grumble. He tilted his mate's head to look at him.

“Please peaches? For me?” He requested.

“Ugh, fine! But only because you asked so nicely.” Wukong said.

“Thank you, peach.” he gave his husband a quick kiss, then they were on their way.

They made their way through the celestial realm to Nezha's home, near the pagoda he guarded. They had told Nezha they were coming so he wouldn't be caught completely off guard by a surprise visit while he was on the clock. The child protector wasn't always guarding that old map, several alert systems were in place in order for him to get to it before anyone could reach the map, and the seal on it was nearly unbreakable.

“Nezha! It's your favorite brother!” Wukong said as he knocked on Nezha's door loudly.

“Really, his favorite brother?” Liu'er snickered.

“Jinzha and Muzha certainly aren't.” his mate shrugged.

“Ah, you got me there.” He rolled his eyes.

“What are you saying about my brothers?” The door opened, Nezha glared down at them, well, at Wukong anyway, he and Nezha were about the same height.

The god was dressed in much less formal clothes, by celestial standards, he didn't look quite as ready to go to war at a second's notice. He had a mug of dark coffee in his hand, honestly Liu'er could relate.

“Just that I'm your favorite!” Wukong said happily.

“I don't have a favorite brother.” Nezha said, letting them in.

“You have a least favorite!” Ao Bing called from further inside.

“Oh? Who is it?” Liu'er asked, smirking at the lotus warrior.

“Yi is his least favorite.” Bing answered helpfully.

The silver and blue dragon was enjoying his own mug of coffee, significantly sweeter than Nezha's, on a couch in the pair’s living room. Nezha shot his friend a glare.

“It's true.” Bing shrugged.

“Is that the little one?” The dragon prince asked excitedly.

“Hi!” Chao-Xing chirped in greeting.

“Aww, she reminds me of Duofan when she was a baby.” Bing cooed.

“Doesn't she, Nezha?” He asked.

“She's less flowery.” Nezha hummed, a soft smile on his face.

“Aww, your uncles like you.” Wukong nuzzled the top of her head.

She giggled, her tails thumping against his legs happily.

“Oh whoa, I didn't know monkeys could have two tails!” Bing exclaimed.

Chao-Xing proudly showed both her tails off to the dragon.

“They normally don't.” Nezha commented.

They settled in the pair’s home for a calm breakfast, Chao-Xing made it known repeatedly that she wanted to be let down.

“Do you mind if we let her crawl around for a bit? She's still getting used to walking in New places.” Liu'er asked.

“We baby proofed the place again just for her.” Nezha said.

“You heard your uncle, go ahead.” Wukong said once he set their daughter down.

The little monkey crawled around, investigating the various new surfaces she was presented with.

He turned his back on the cub, drawn into the conversation between his mate and brother in law. He turned away just long enough for Chao-Xing to discreetly make a clone and vanish into her own shadow.

XXX

Chao-Xing came out of her shadow at another new place. 

This isn't the flower place. She pouted, she wanted to see the flowers she could smell.

This place smelled funny, like an animal, but she didn't know what animal.

Curiously, she climbed up the steps and slipped under the door's shadow to the other side. It was a strange house, it didn't smell like someone very happy lived here, it smelled really sad. One of her ears flicked at the thumping sound coming closer, she turned in the direction of the sound.

A big, fluffy black cloud stared down at her. The cloud had big, dark eyes with red around them, just like Papa!

The cloud came closer to her, Chao-Xing reached her hand out to pet the cloud, wondering if it was soft and squishy like Papa’s cloud. The cloud stared at her outstretched hands, a big, wet nose sniffed her, the cloud’s tail wagged happily.

She patted the cloud’s nose, the cloud had a soft face, it wasn't squishy like Papa’s cloud, but very warm and soft. The cloud licked her cheek with a big wet slobbery tongue, she giggled and wiped the drool off her face.

“I’m looking for the flowers! Do you wanna come!” She told the cloud.

Cloud blinked at her, she crawled back to the door. The cloud could come if it wanted or not.

“Bye-bye!” She waved, slipping back into the door's shadow and out the other side.

The cloud barked in alarm, she didn't know clouds could make that sound. The cloud came out from a smaller door inside the bigger door.

“Are you coming?!” She asked.

The cloud stared at her in confusion. She patted the cloud's nose when it got close enough.

“Come on, let's find the flowers!” She said.

The cloud huffed and nodded. She grinned, now she had a cloud friend too!

“To the flowers!” She chirped, crawling in the direction she had been going before.

Cloud walked with her until they found the place where the pretty flowers smell came from.

A bunch of pretty flower trees were growing in the middle of a big yard.

“Flowers! We found the flowers!” She giggled to her new friend.

She crawled into the garden, there were so many pretty flowers, she wanted to pick some, they smelled so nice, Papa and Baba would like them too! But Papa said she had to ask before she took anything that wasn't hers.

It was just good manners.

Baba always laughed about it.

She looked around for someone she could ask, she could hear people in the garden, they didn't sound close. She shrugged, she could just crawl around until she found someone.

Cloud followed her the entire time she looked around the flower garden.

She eventually found a lady sitting on a bench deep in the garden, a very pretty lady. And she was a kitty! She had round kitty ears and a striped tail. The kitty lady had something in her hands that she was playing with, she wasn't close enough to see.

Chao-Xing crawled over to her and tugged on her skirt to get her attention. The kitty lady stopped what she was doing and looked around.

“Excuse me.” Chao-Xing squeaked.

The kitty lady looked down at her and smiled softly. She reached up to climb into the bench so she could see better,

“Why hello there, what are you doing here little one?” The kitty lady asked, helping her onto the bench.

“I’m explorin’ with Cloud!” She answered, happily pointing to Cloud.

Cloud trotted over to the kitty lady and rested its head on the bench.

“Is ‘Cloud’ your friend?” The kitty lady questioned.

“Yes! She's my big fluffy friend!” She nodded.

“Ah, she is very fluffy, just like you.” The kitty lady laughed.

“You're fluffy too!” She said.

The kitty lady looked confused, she pointed to the lady's tail.

“Oh, I see.” The kitty lady nodded.

“Can I have some flowers?” She asked.

“The peach flowers?”

“Yes! They're very pretty!” She nodded eagerly.

“We don't pick these flowers, they are very special.” The kitty lady told her.

“Oh. Okay!” She chirped.

The kitty lady looked surprised, then she laughed.

“I can take you to a garden where you can get flowers, if you want.” She offered.

“Yes please!” She jumped to her feet.

She stumbled a bit, she managed to find her balance without falling over, she was getting better at walking. The kitty lady offered her hand with a smile, Chao-Xing smiled back and took her hand.

She liked this kitty lady.

XXX

“Stay safe little one.” The kitty lady called after her.

Chao-Xing waved her goodbye as Cloud barked at her. She put one hand on her friend to keep herself steady as she walked, she still wasn't very good at it. Cloud was carrying some of the flowers from the kitty lady too, she smelled very nice.

She and Cloud walked around for a bit more before they came across a tall, tower-like building. She stopped and stared at it, it cast a long, dark shadow over her.

There was something familiar in there.

She walked towards it. Cloud whined, pacing back and forth where she had stopped, she turned and looked back at her friend. Cloud quickly trotted over to her, sticking much closer to her than she had before.

Chao-Xing entered the strange, tower-like building.

Buzzing filled her ears as she looked around for anyone in the big empty space. There was nothing on the first floor but a big seat in the middle of the furthest wall, there was a little building sitting on the seat.

She stepped towards it, the buzzing got louder, it almost sounded like a bunch of muffled voices. She reached towards the little tower, she could barely hear anything over the buzzing in her ears.

“What are you doing in here?” 

I've heard that voice before.

A hand snatched the little tower up, she followed it to see an old man dressed in white and teal towering over her. He glared down at her, her stomach squirmed.

I know you.

She didn't know how, but she knew him. The man rolled his eyes with an angry sigh.

“Of course it's you, Ruò shí hóu. Where are your parents?” He snarled.

She frowned at him, he didn't feel good or safe. He felt… he felt not that. She crossed her arms and turned her nose up like Xuěhuā did. The man groaned again, he came towards her.

“I'd like to get you out of my-”

Pain shot through her right tail.

She yelped and bit the hand coming towards her. It came from the same direction the pain was coming from.

The man tried to shake her off, she bit harder, he lifted her off the ground, she refused to let go, she'd fall if she did now. Cloud barked, jumping and yipping at the mean man.

He grumbled and shouted something she didn't understand at her, he yanked her hair, trying to pull her off, she growled and bit down even harder.

She heard something running towards the entrance, the walking lotus from before with the blue noodle came running in.

“Father, have you-” he broke off, taking in the scene in front of him.

“It appears you have.” He said.

“Nezha, help me get this child off. Now.” The meanie snarled.

The walking lotus came over, he reached for her, she liked the walking lotus a lot more than the meanie, she let him pull her off. He produced a pink cloth and wiped her face, she wrapped one tail around his arm and one around his waist as he cleaned her face, Cloud paced between them and the mean man, she really liked Cloud.

“Why were you biting him?” The walking lotus asked her.

“I believe I accidentally stepped on the child’s tail. I didn't realize it had a second one.” the meanie said before she had a chance to explain.

“Oh. That'll do it.” The walking lotus said.

Chao-Xing growled at the meanie, she did not like him, he was bad, very bad. He narrowed his eyes and stepped away from her.

“Hey, it's okay, he didn't mean to, you're okay now.” The walking lotus told her.

She glanced between him and the meanie, she didn't want to be in the same space as the meanie anymore, she hissed at him a final time and turned her nose up.

“I suppose it doesn't like me very much now.” The meanie chuckled.

“Very well, get the child out of here.” He said dismissively.

The lotus mumbled something she didn't understand as he stomped out of the building. Cloud followed after them, keeping one eye on the meanie the whole time.

“Oh, and Nezha? Do tell the simians to keep a better eye on their spawn.”

Chao-Xing stuck her tongue out at the meanie over the lotus’s shoulder.

“Goodbye, Father.” the lotus said.

He walked out without another word.

He pulled her into his arms, lightly tapping her nose with a fond sigh.

“Your dads are practically tearing apart the realm as we speak, please, don't wander off again.” He said.

“Okay!” She chirped.

He raised an eyebrow.

“Are you going to stay put?”

“Probably not!”

“At least you're more honest than your parents.” He sighed.

“Alright, let's find your dads.” He said, adjusting her to rest against his side.

He really did smell like a lotus, he was very strange, she'd never seen a walking plant before… her stomach rumbled.

“Don't. I'm not food.” The walking lotus said.

She stared him in the eye.

“Have a plum.” He sighed, handing the fruit to her.

She happily started nibbling at it.

XXX

One second!

He didn't have his eyes on his cub for one second and she had teleported out of Nezha's home to Buddha knows where in the celestial realm.

This really must be a punishment from the universe for how I was as a cub. Wukong sighed.

The clone that Chao-Xing used to fool them with had dispersed itself as soon as it was caught, leaving them without a lead. At least it didn't sound like she was causing much trouble for anyone.

“Wukong! Mihou! I found her!” His head snapped up at the sound of Nezha's voice.

His brother had a brown fluff ball in his arms and was being followed by a large, black dog. Erlang’s dog Xiàotiān Quǎn.

“Huh, looks like she made a friend.” Liu'er chuckled.

“Yeah, how'd she manage to do that?” He wondered aloud.

“She's sweet, cute and Quǎn likes babies.” Liu'er answered.

The dog in question whined in offense at his comment, turning her dark snout up at them.

“Oh hush, you know it's true.” His mate chided the celestial hound.

“Your daughter thinks I'm food.” Nezha said abruptly, holding Chao-Xing out to him.

“Well, you are part lotus.” Bing said as Wukong took his daughter back.

Nezha shot his friend a glare. Chao-Xing chirped at him for food, going for their more animalistic sounds rather than using words, it was just easier sometimes. He and Liu'er often made such sounds at each other for little reason.

“Hang on lychee muncher, we'll get some food soon.” He told her.

She whined and tried to chew on her tail, she suddenly shrieked and jerked away from the tail, howling in pain.

“Oh… my father stepped on her tail by accident, I found her in his home… biting him.” Nezha explained awkwardly.

Chao-Xing growled, her fur bristled defensively.

“By accident?” his moon prompted skeptically.

Li Jing wasn't shy about his dislike for either of them, he doubted that the pagoda king accidentally stepped on his daughter’s tail. He knew how sensitive their tails were, he'd abused that knowledge in the past.

“There isn't any evidence to suggest otherwise.��� Nezha said.

“How badly did she bite him?” He asked.

“Wukong!” Nezha snapped.

“You can't say he doesn't deserve it.” Bing commented.

“Who deserves what?”

Wukong almost jumped out of his skin at the voice behind him, his mate didn't even bother to hide his snicker. His mother smirked at him.

“Mom! I thought we were supposed to come to you.” He said.

“Yes, you were, you're late.” Yuze scolded.

“Well, someone tricked us with a clone and spent the morning wandering around heaven.” Liu'er explained, shooting a pointed look at the cub in his arms.

Chao-Xing cheekily stuck her tongue out at him.

“And here I thought you were just trying to avoid her. Again.” Yuze said pointedly.

Wukong coughed awkwardly. So what if he dragged his feet on this visit and waited an extra six months instead of coming after Chao-Xing turned two?

“Nǎi nai! Nǎi nai!” Chao-Xing squeaked.

She squirmed out of his arms, he caught her with his tail. Yuze plucked the cub out of his grasp, Chao-Xing eagerly hugged the demon monkey.

“You smell funny nǎi nai.” She giggled.

“I'm made of clay.” 

“Like Papa?”

“It's a close enough comparison, sure.” Yuze shrugged.

“Now, do you want to meet your other grandma?” She prompted.

Fuck, no avoiding her now. Wukong growled internally.

“I have two?!” Chao-Xing asked excitedly.

“You have three actually, and they're both here to meet you.” Yuze said, flicking Chao-Xing’s head lightly with her tail.

“Awesome!” the little cub exclaimed.

“Oh! Can I give them flowers? I got pretty flowers!” She gasped, pulling a bouquet of flowers that looked to be right out of Xiwangmu’s personal garden out of her shadow.

“Where did you get them, Lychee?” Liu'er asked.

“The kitty lady let me take some!” Chao-Xing exclaimed.

Huh, they were straight from the Queen Mother's garden.

“They are very lovely, of course you can give them to your grandmothers.” Yuze told her.

Chao-Xing chirped cheerfully, her twin tails swishing in excitement.

“At least someone is excited.” He muttered.

Yuze gave him a disappointed look, he flinched at the harshness in her gaze. Liu'er elbowed him for being rude, he brushed it off, yeah yeah, he swore he'd be good. Yuze then turned to Nezha.

“Nezha, Erlang is looking for you, he's trying to find Quǎn.” she told the god.

“I'll bring her over to him now, thanks Mo-Ma’am! Ma’am! Thank you Yuze!” Nezha blurted, covering his reddened cheeks.

“You're welcome.” she smiled.

Quǎn whined at having to leave, but dutiful followed Nezha and Bing when they left.

Yuze spun around and grabbed him by the ear, Chao-Xing giggled.

“Come along, this has been put off for long enough.” His mom pulled him along.

He dragged his feet behind her, he was never in the mood to deal with Nuwa, and the goddess knew it.

“Clearly you got your stubborn avoidance of slightly uncomfortable situations from her.” Yuze muttered, shooting him a pointed stare.

He glowered at his mom, but stopped dragging his feet.

“Thank you Shí Hóu.” she said, releasing his ear.

He glanced at Liu'er for help or moral support, the jerk just shrugged and tugged him along with his tail.

“You swore you would try.” He reminded him.

“I know, I know.” He grumbled.

“Don't pout Shí Hóu.” Yuze called from up ahead.

“Your face’ll get stuck Papa!” Chao-Xing chimed in.

“Yes, it will.” Yuze agreed.

He stopped pouting, externally at least, and followed his mom.

All too soon, they were at the gates of Nuwa’s section of the celestial realm, he could hear gently running water from beyond the walls. The smell of salty ocean seas and lotus flowers in bloom lingered around the edge.

Guanyin was already here. They really were late.

Yuze rested her hand on the gate, a light golden seal flashed into view for a moment then faded as the door opened.

A winding dirt path lead through the groves of trees that Nuwa kept. He caught a glimpse of movement in the recreated forest, one of Nuwa's creations watched them with curious eyes. His stomach flipped at the sight of the creature, he stamped down the familiar twinge of jealousy.

The trees thinned out to a large flat plain with a calm river running through it. Next to the river sat Guanyin and Nuwa. The moment he saw the goddess, any idea of being nice about this left his mind. Nuwa didn't even try, why should he now?

“I found them.” Yuze announced.

Unfortunately, Guanyin seemed to be in on Yuze’s plan of making him and Nuwa interact, she gently pushed the goddess forward ahead of her.

“S-sun Wukong…” Nuwa greeted him awkwardly.

“Nuwa.” He gave the goddess a curt nod.

They stared at each other for a few tense moments of silence, Nuwa looked away first, a hint of that familiar, hated regret on her face.

“For the love of-! You're both adults, act like it!” Yuze snapped at the both of them.

“It's good to see you again.” Nuwa tried.

“I can't say the same.” He muttered.

“Sun Wukong!” Guanyin scolded.

He rolled his eyes.

“I guess it's nice to see you too.” He muttered.

“Why do I even bother?” He heard his mom grumble under her breath.

He ignored the look Yuze and Liu'er gave him as he went over to them.

“Be civil, Shí Hóu.” She ordered.

“Sure, I'm not talking to her.” He shrugged, leaning against one of the large stones scattered around.

“Peaches, remember what we talked about?” Liu'er prompted.

“What? I tried.” he smirked at his mate.

“Not very hard.” Liu'er growled softly.

“Neither did she.” He shrugged.

“You're impossible.” Liu'er said.

The shadow monkey left him to go introduce his daughter alongside Yuze. His daughter gave the flowers she got to each of her grandparents happily.

Wukong sat back and watched how the goddess gently and nervously held his cub when she was given the opportunity. Yuze adjusted her hold, laughing about some joke between the two of them.

Nuwa looked at his cub with genuine awe and affection. That jealousy flared up again, he bitterly smothered it. He wasn't going to be jealous that she decided she would actually try now, he wasn't going to be jealous of his own daughter having a better relationship with his creator than he did.

He wouldn't do that.

Chao-Xing yawned, she was getting really sleepy.

It was a very big day.

She had a lot of fun, lots of new people and animals and things and food. Her grandmas made really good food and had really tasty fruits. 

But she was sleepy now.

She wanted her blankie, it was soft and red like Baba's scarf, and it was always warm. She was cold, she didn't like it. She yawned again, she could lay down for a little nap.

Papa picked her up before she could really sleep, she hissed at him for disrupting her nap time. He cuddled her in his arms, she snuggled closer to steal Papa's warmth, Papa was always very warm.

Nǎi nai talked with Papa about something, she gave him a little piece of paper and looked a little sad as she spoke. She didn’t pay much attention to what they were saying, but one word caught her attention.

Chūn.

She'd heard that name before. The elders talked about a monkey named Chūn who didn't live there anymore. Nǎi nai was old, she probably used to know her.

Papa took nǎi nai’s letter, telling her he'd get it delivered.

Papa talked to other nǎi nai for a bit, Baba was busy talking to first nǎi nai, then third nǎi nai came up.

“I have something for her, if that's okay.” Third nǎi nai said.

Papa glared at her, he didn't seem to like third nǎi nai very much.

“Fine. Make it quick.” He snapped.

Third nǎi nai took her and set her on the ground, she sat on the short rock behind her, her legs were really tired from all the walking she did.

“This is for you.”

Third nǎi nai held a shiny stone out to her. It had six pointy bits, it was a really pretty purple in the center and yellow at the edge of the pointy bits. She took the stone from her nǎi nai, it was heavy, and very pretty.

“It's a very special stone I made just for you, please be careful with it.” Third nǎi nai told her.

“Okay! I'll keep it in my shadow! It's very safe!” She nodded.

“That will do just fine.” Third nǎi nai said.

Third nǎi nai handed her back to Papa once she dropped the stone into her shadow. Papa gave third nǎi nai a weird look as she got herself cozy again. She yawned, she wanted her blankie. She tugged Papa's sleeve.

“I want my blankie.” She said.

He smiled softly at her. She heard third nǎi nai leave them, going back further into her home, she said she would show her the things she made another time.

“I know starlight, we'll be home soon, then you can sleep all you want.” He told her, kissing her forehead gently.

She giggled, Papa’s kisses always tickled.

“Can I have a bath? Please?” She asked.

“I'll talk to your Baba about it.” Papa sighed.

She gave a happy chirp and settled into Papa’s arms. Baba finished talking with nǎi nai and made his way over to them.

“Someone looks sleepy~” he cooed.

She yawned in response, she was very sleepy.

“Let's get home.” Baba said.

He opened a shadow, and they stepped through it into their home. Baba has the coolest powers.

Do you have any headcanons about Nezha's mom/brothers ages? You mentioned Yun'er in Second Wife to be the same age as Jinzha 👁️👄👁️

Oop I forgot I hadn't left it in my notes

Yin Wuming, Nezha's mom, is 15 when she first marries Li Jing who's in his 40s, I think? She has Jinzha the same year, and is 16 when she has Muzha (one year later), so Muzha and Jinzha's age gap is one year apart. When she has Nezha, she's 21!

So when Yun'er marries Li Jing (who's supposed to be 50-60s), Wuming is 33, and Jinzha and Yun'er are the same age (18).

With Li Jing, since he's described as an immortal, I kinda didn't focus much on his age....but he's an old bitch lmfao 💀

In my Yin Wuming lives AU, the age gap between Jinzha, Muzha and Nezha are different though. Wuming is still the same age when she marries and has her first son (Jinzha), but I think Jinzha is 12/13 when Muzha comes in, and Muzha is 8/9 when she has Nezha.....

I honestly didn't keep track of the ages in that au...I probably should have

[amnesia-wukong-au]

Did the quintuplets hear the sniffles..?

Paramita: We gotta do something!

Jia Chunhua: Father’s on the brink of death!

Li Jing: We’re trying our best but her thorns are poisonous!

Muzha: Not to mention her bothersome son!

[journeytothewestresearch]

is muzha also called moksa? (i believe that’s how you spell it) their both disciples of guanyin and it’s always mentioned how they fought sha wuijing but those are the same people, yes?

I've answered this before. See this reply:

[flesh-beneath-my-teeth]

genya genya genya genya tell me about Chinese mythology

Been a long long time since I last studied it so I rather keep myself from saying bullshit. BUT i will NOT keep myself from talking about the three deities that never leaved my brain and who STILL refuses to pay rent!!! The Li brothers!!! (Or as I like to call them the "Heaven'Li brothers" because they're warriors of heaven, get it? i'm soooo funny and clever.)

(tw; mention of sucide, child abuse, murder, fratricide, torture, tentative of patricide and gore.)

SO. Let's start with the oldest!! Li JinZha!! Eldest son of general Li Jing(i despise that man with all my being) and Lady Yin Shi. He is the very definition of golden child and eldest daughter syndrome. He has tons of nicknames, but the most famous are; "Golden Tactician", "Great Crowned Prince" & "First Prince". Like his second brother; MuZha, their "lore" isn't very explained as they're both shadowed by their younger brother; Nezha. What is know about Jinzha is that he's the disciple of Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, one of the Three Great Immortal. He leaved the Military Fortress of Chentag Pass at an early age to study under his master as it probably happened before NeZha's birth. There's no mention of him in NeZha's life (well it depends, in some versions he is present at his birth) until the fight with their father. When Li Jing was about to kill himself, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun stoped him and made him hide in a cave (can't remember which one but in Chinese mythology caves always have super fancy name sskjsgdhgsf). When Nezha came to kill his father, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun imprisoned him with the dragon stake and ordered Jinzha to whip NeZha until Taiyi Zhenren (NeZha's Master) called for his disciple. As I already said, the information on his story are poor (i would die for a show that talks about JinZha's & MuZha's adventures while being away from Chentag Pass) but I can tell you a funny fact about him; he is both god of medicine and exorcism, it's like he had "I'm a doctor but... *process to get a fucking sword*" energy. My interpretation of him is of the oldest child that always has been seen by the "favorite" by his brothers, when in reality he was nothing but a trophy to brag about at parties and was as neglected as the others, but he kept being "perfect" for the sake of still having his father attention. He's also the one trying his best to keep the family together and to avoid another murder. He needs vacation, and a an apology from both his brothers, maybe even a hug from them, and their father burning in hell.

The second is MuZha, his only nickname that I know is "Wooden Scholar". Same as his older brother, he leaved home early to go study under the one and only GuanYin!!! The deity of peace and harmony(GuanYin is shown as having a very unstable gender but i'll refer to her as she/her as she is shown more frequently shown as female in modern representation and to make it easier for myself, but i do believe in nb/genderfluid GuanYin supremacy). As said in his tittle, he is more brains than brawn unlike his brothers (but he is still a fighter, as he's frequently shown with melon hammers and hooks of wu). Same as JinZha, his first know apparition in NeZha's legend is when NeZha wanted to kill Li Jing, MuZha tried to stop him and fought him. And NeZha killed him. You heard me right, the seven years old killed his older brother, and you wanna know with what? With a fucking GOLDEN BRICK. but don't worry, MuZha is later brought back to life. We don't know how though, my theory is that GuanYin made him a new body with wood (I mainly imagine that because it would very funny if his coming back from death mirrored NeZha's, to me at least). My interpretation of him is pretty much of the depressed and nerdy middle child. He's sick of everyone in his family (except his dead mother), especially his brothers' bullshit (JinZha being scarily perfect and NeZha... being NeZha). He was was very loyal to his father pre-death, to the point of being blind to the neglect and abuse he would put him and his brothers in. Post-death he became distant to his bio family, staying with his found family with GuanYin as his parental figure and Red Boy & Longnü as his adoptive little siblings. live yo life nerd boy, live yo life!!

And last but not least, the fucking menace himself!!! NeZha!! Also known as "Third Lotus Prince". I talked so much about him in the past that his part will mainly be a mix of what is already in my notebook app. He's the reincarnation of the Pearl Spirit/Lingzhu. I couldn't find a lot of information on Lingzhu, except that it was a powerful (Lingzhu was stronger than the Twelve Golden Immortals) spirit who probably was a demon (In the same way as Lady Rock Demon of being an "Highly powerful spiritual weapon that is able of turning into a living being aka a demon"). Lingzhu was forced through reincarnation by the Three Pure One (Deities who are more powerful than the Jade Emperor himself). The fact that Nezha is the reincarnation of the Pearl Spirit who's original form is well, a pearl, makes Nezha soulless. You heard, the Third Lotus Prince doesn't have a soul. The Heavenly Realm made Lingzhu reincarnate as the third son of General Li Jing as a gift for the Li family. Nezha is literally a gift from Heaven. His mother, Lady Yin, was pregnant of Nezha during 3 years and six months and giving birth to a meatball from where Nezha will later come out from. Li Jing tried to kill him immediately but stopped. And Tumblr deleted the rest when I tried to save it in my draft I'm genuinely crying so fuck doing storytelling efforts and fuck you Tumblr. NeZha went to the beach, he played with his red tissue that Taiyi gifted him but he didn't know that it was magic and that he was currently causing chaos in the deep of the ocean, where the kingdom of the Dragon King of the east was located. Dragon king send a guard that talked badly to NeZha so NeZha killed him. Dragon King sent his third son and-

You know what sorry anon but I'm too tired I promise I'll update the post soon with the end of the story but I've been writting for two hours and I need to post it or else I'll go crazy xhigixturzruzurx7r.

And here one of my favorite representation of the Li bros!! They're from Fei Ren Zai/Non-Human and they're one of my favs because they're one of the rare and probably the only representation of them having a healthy relationship (and also Li Jing being depicted as the loser incompetent fucker he is.)

[fangruninsimp]

Hate to break it to you besties...

anyone else curious about yin muzha? or is it just me? anDDD i wonder what happened after the epilogue?

[lotus-duckies]

some good muzha moments:

and an honorable mention:

[the-monkey-ruler]

Do you know of a website where a family tree of the gods can be found? Or what gods are related to others?

I can't say that there is one because most gods are just not related. Sure some gods have family relations like Nezha, Erlang, or the Dragons Kings but they are considered more of the expectation than the rule.

I've said this before but how gods work in Chinese mythos is that anyone who cultivates and is able to train under an immortal and maybe perhaps gaining enough merit to go to heaven and get godhood gets to be a god. There are rarely any family relations involved also due to the fact that gods are not allowed to get married or have kids, the Jade Emperor being an expectation to this rule. Sure mortals can live in the lower levels of heaven and have families but they are not gods either. Or that gods had families before they became gods like Nezha's family. Or that they broke the law like Erlang Shen's family.

Needless to say, I would say give up trying to find a family tree since that is too far-fetched between the thousands of different gods and so few being related at all.

But I can say it the biggest known families are the Li Family with Jing Li, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha and their mother who most likely passed.

The Yang family with the sister of the JE being Yuan, Erlang Sheng, Sansheng Mu, and there was Yang Jiao but he passed away and their father passed as well. This makes Erlang Shen the JE's nephew and Sansheng Mu his niece.

And maybe Jade Emperor and his Daughters like Weaver girl who had a husband and two children but the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother who are to said to have many children so there isn't even a concrete number there, just that there is a lot.

There is also the Main Dragon Kings. The West, South, North, and East King Dragons are all brothers with an off-handed sister mentioned in Xiyouji. East and West Kings seem to have about three sons each and a daughter each as well (not sure about the South or North Kings but most likely children as well) and the Mother Dragon had like nine sons I believe. Not really gods but still a family that are immortal.

There are definitely a lot more I am just unaware of really. Most legends I know are more stand-alone without any mentions of the family besides mortal parents when they ascend to godhood. There are a few cases I see maybe certain gods being considered brothers and sisters. These are just the ones I really know and I hope that helps a little even if you won't find more family relations.

[stellawolfearts]

Tbh, Lady Yin wasn’t the best to Nezha either. She exclaimed to him that she wished she’d never given birth to him after she found out he killed Ao Bing and only built Nezha a shrine after he threatened to haunt her. She seemed much more fixated on how useful Nezha was to bring herself pride then about his well-being or correcting his behaviour. Also in jttw she is mentioned by both Muzha and Li Jing to still be alive and living with them even after Wukong was freed from the mountain.

SHIT

WELP...............THERE GOES THAT WRITING SNIPPET.

THANKS FOR THE INFO ANON. GOOD TO KNOW NEZHA REALLY DIDNT HAVE ANYONE.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Azure certainly doesn't complain about any of Li Jing's bodily changes. ;3 He still has the biggest chest in the house.

Baby Mocha be like a kitten who is constantly getting into trouble, but Li Jing thinks she can do no wrong! (Forgive him. Baby Nezha gave him low standards for behavior.)

Nezha posts Mocha's misadventures like a pet owner shaming their cat;

MK: "Why is your weapon-ribbon thing-y all ripped up?"

Nezha, tired-looking: "Mocha has discovered her claws."

Mocha, has ribbon in her paws: "Mew!"

The Queen Mother of the West/Xiwangmu isn't any better than Li Jing. Even if the cub isn't *technically* her blood relative, Mocha is too darn adorable to be mad at for long. The Queen Mother being a fellow celestial big cat (and Azure being terrified of her) probably has something to with it.

Lionsword baby aint giving Li Jing peace and quiet neither. He thinks a girl would be easier than raising the boys? Big mistake.

Imagine a baby Nezha who can climb trees and an instinctive urge to chase small animals

Oh gawd yes! 😂

Li Jing truely thought that he would have a semi normal baby. Nope!

She looked like Jing enough, but was covered in black fur and had Azures purple eyes! So looked so innocent!…. Until Jing realized that she may have gotten the looks from him, but she got the instincts from azure.

Baby Mocha has a big appetite, and is constantly feeding on Jing’s chest (gave the man a heart attack when he started producing MILK of all things-!) and her little fangs aren’t exactly soft.

She chirps as well. She cries like a normal baby of course, but for the most part she communicates through growls, chirps, and chuffs.

And lions love to instinctively stalk and pounce, so the minute she’s of moving age? Attack!!! No ankles or calf’s are safe from her little fangs!

She especially loves Nezha’s fire rings, constantly chewing them and his staff, and leaving slobber all over it. Nezha, newly minted big bro and second middle child, hates it.

Nezha: “Daaaaad! Mocha chewed my rings again!”

Jing, tiredly bouncing a giggling Cub: “Nezha, she’s a baby, she can’t help it.”

Muzha and Jinzha laugh in revenge.

[lotus-protector-official]

Sibling

Summary of Nezha’s relationship with every one of his siblings for this prompt!

(cw/tw for mild mentions of fraticide and beating)

Jinzha (He/him)

The eldest brother of the family, who had helped physically punish Nezha solely under his father’s orders. Immediately after, he had apologised and make sure Nezha was okay. Nezha often used to lash out at him, but Jinzha would always take it as a deserving reaction. Even after fighting together in the war, Nezha often feels tense around him because of his near-unnatural mild-manneredness, and how much of Jinzha is still a mystery to him. However, he respects his eldest brother for his skill and military tactical prowess. In turn, Jinzha is proud of how Nezha has grown into a responsible, diligent young prince.

Muzha (He/him)

Of all his siblings, Nezha used to have the most animosity towards Muzha. After all, he was the first to jump to defend the father that Nezha had loathed so much back then, and in turn, Nezha beaned Muzha over the head with a brick and killed him. After being forced to cooperate in the war, some encouragement from their mother, and bonding over her death- well, they still don’t like each other much. But Nezha feels like Muzha was essentially made to defend his father in ignorance, motivated by blind loyalty. Despite his ultimate failure against Sun Wukong, Muzha ends up respecting Nezha’s commitment toward the Samadhi Map and his many duties. These new understandings brought a sense of peace and comradery to their relationship. Despite all this, Nezha and Muzha will never truly be able to get along, especially given their completely opposite domains- Muzha is a by-the-book scholar studying under Guanyin, while Nezha is a rebellious warrior god.

Zhengying (She/her)

Nezha’s little sister, born long after the war recorded in the Investiture of the Gods. Because of the heavy expectations placed on her to be “not like Nezha”, the incident where she had been mistaken as a demon because of her adoptive sister’s betrayal, and finding out family’s dark past, Zhengying had decided to cut ties with the celestial realm once she was old enough- and as she reached young adulthood, she did. Currently she lives as a mortal and works at a flower shop/cafe hybrid while trying to figure out her future. Despite how Nezha cherishes his younger sister and is protective of her, he respects her space and remains distant, only visiting to check on her discreetly. And though they are not that close, Zhengying greatly appreciates Nezha and wishes the best for him.

Golden-nosed White Mouse Spirit (Earth Flow/Diyong) (She/they)

A demon who wanted to become a Bodhisattva. Nezha’s father was convinced by Nezha to show her mercy because of her intent, and she was so grateful to be left alive that she decided to be sworn into the Li family. She and Nezha used to be the best of friends, bonding over being black sheep outcasts and enjoying causing harmless mischief with the few time they had together. However, during the Journey to the West, she fell in love with Tripataka, and of course did the standard demon thing. When Nezha demanded the reason for her betrayal, she retorted that no one ever truly respected her as an equal. She was just a buttered up prisoner. Currently, she resides in the heavenly dungeon. Nezha sometimes longs for their past bond and visits her, but they often end up throwing stinging words at each other and he never stays for long.
