okay im going to try and do as many headcanons/ideas i have for this au(now named stone twin au because i cant think of anything else and im bad with being original obviously) most of these are about wukong since hes the one i think about constantly but i guess i have to start somewhere(also i have a few of my headcanons in here that dont just pertain to this au plus a few things from jttw but i didnt feel the need to have them on a separate post), this is mostly just about sunny's(wukong) relationships with others, not everyone but the ones i can think of for now. i also finally figured out how to do read more.

obviously wukong(sunny) would be the more monkey like of the two, hes about a few inches shorter then mk, he's very clingy, loved to cling to pigsys back growing up and still occasionally does especially when not feeling well, also clings to tang and mk and occasionally mei, when the twins were first found he couldnt speak human(he understood it just fine the same way any other toddler would) and while mk couldnt speak monkey he could understand it and played translator until they taught him how to speak human, he still slips into monkey speach when hes really sick or upset/distressed, he prefers it when others play with/style his hair for him(the whole monkey socialization), loves climbing and being in high places and has very high energy when his health isnt acting up, this has caused a few heart attacks

loves both his dads but is closer to tang(we know why even if he himself cant remember) loves to spend time with him learning new things, always begs for stories of tripitaka and what he can of macaque. tang is the one that taught the twins the basics of what was needed for school, and actually does a lot of sunnys lessons himself when hes to sick to go to school, i dont really have a set job in mind for tang yet but i was thinking a historian of some sort that can work from home especially since he has a sick child. its also because of tang that sunny as such a love of reading and learning

with pigsy he's still pretty close, mk being the one closest to him, but hes still loves spending time with him. sunnys not very good at cooking, but he loves clinging to pigsys back and watching while he cooks(as said above its something he never grew out of), pigsy has made sure that sunny can make the foods he actually can eat though. sunny also shares pigsys love of singing and they will have mini concerts when no ones watching.

mk and sunny are very close and slightly co dependent, mk has a lot of anxiety about leaving sunny alone for long periods, sunny has a lot of guilt about this and self blame for mk not having many friends outside of mei and himself, and while hes just as codependent as mk he does make an effort to encourage mk to go out without him. it used to be worse when they were younger, but they both started going to therapy around 10 at sandys suggestion, they still struggle with it but they do have lives and hobbies outside of each other. obviously since sunny doesnt have his memories he cant exactly teach mk how to use the staff and powers, his advice is more of the sibling "well remember when you tried *random thing thats similar to current situation* when we were kids just try that" sunny is the one that eventually pushes mk to try and find an actual teacher at least to teach him to fight properly.

both twins are very talented artists(a canon fact that i just cant get rid of), like i said sunny loves singing and acting/performing but he does have stage fright bad enough to prevent him from doing so outside of his small group of friends/family(this stems from the trauma that always seemed to happen in front of large crowds in jttw poor baby getting affected by everything even if he cant remember). sunny is also the one that gets the better grades of the two despite missing way more school. due to not being able to run off his energy a lot he channels it into his studies and art and writing, he wants to eventually become a professional artist.

mei is obviously just as close to sunny as she is to mk, both of them are chaos and adrenaline junkies, shes his partner in crime when it comes to pranks, she makes sure that he's not alone even on days he doesnt feel well enough to get out bed or hes in the hospital. they both love cute things, and if mei gets a dress she doesnt want she gives them to sunny, especially if its pink(he has a lot of them). she keeps sunny up to date on all the shenanigans that happen while hes in the hospital, including the stuff mk wont say in fear of worrying him.

sandy is the one sunny goes to when he's feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by his familys hovering and overprotectiveness, he finds him to be a very comforting presence and hes a good listener for whatevers bothering him. sunny also likes to help train the therapy cats.

sunny does have a mean streak, especially when its something negative being said about his friends/family, uses his pranks to get back at whoever wronged him, since he's to weak for a physical fight(hes tried once it didnt end badly only because the other person was to shocked to really retaliate sunny did end up breaking the kids nose and his own wrist). the pranks themselves are never cruel or outright harmful just enough to make the person think twice about doing it again

PIF actually manages to figure out who sunny is pretty early on having seen the small family out and about one day, she does assume wukong has reincarnated into a new life, and as much as shes upset with him over what happened with DBK thats still her husbands little brother and one of the ones that help her son, so she leaves them be, looking in from time to time

for DBK he's still got some lingering resentment for being trapped for 500 years. his first thought on seeing sunny is that wukong is just faking and toying with him, his wife does inform him that that is not the case. after that he cant figure out if he's happy about this or not. on one hand he gets to see sunny be the happy carefree person that wukong used to be though he's upset that it's at the cost of his health, but on the other hand he's lost his little brother and never got to make up. sunny does feel oddly drawn to DBK though hes not sure why but he deems him as immediately safe(much to the concern of everyone else)

red son was obviously very young the last time he saw wukong, so he has no idea who sunny really is, after the initial being enemies thing and getting a few good pranks in on him, they actually get a long well, both being sassy and sarcastic enough to keep up with each other(everyone else is happy that sunny has a new friend even if that friend is kinda of an asshole). red son grew up to hearing stories about wukong both good and bad so he does have some complicated feelings about him, that does carry over to sunny once hes told hes wukongs reincarnation and further complicated when it finally comes to light that he is actually a sealed wukong, in the end red son decides that sunny is sunny and still his friend even knowing who he actually his.

the whole macaque situation goes mostly as canon except macaque thinks sunny is just playing around and pretending not to know anything. mk meets macaque the day before sunny is released from the hospital, he follows mk to the hospital to pick him up which is the first time he sees sunny. the fight goes mostly the same but not, in the fact wukong isnt there to fight him and protect mk, but sunny is basically used as a hostage and accused of playing pretend, its sunny being in danger that helps mk get the powers macaque took back. sunny doesnt really know how to feel about the situation at all, hes had a crush on macaque since he was a kid and that same person tried to kill both him and his brother and claims hes someone that hes not. continues to antagonize his friends and claim he's wukong, and a large part of him still does have feelings for macaque even after all that. hes got a lot of complicated feelsing about it but he is still incredibly pissed that macaque tried to kill his brother and tried to use him to do so. macaque is in for a world of hurt when it comes to the eventual pranks. macaque for a while refuses to believe that sunny isnt pretending, since the alternative is accepting the wukong reincarnated and isnt coming back. overall its very complicated and the family disapproves.

as for sunnys powers and memories and immortalies, they are all under different types of seals and of those there are many keeping them all wrapped up tight. like he could unlock one or two powers but his immortalies and memories seals would be uneffected and vice versa. he does unlock 2 powers during the whole spider queen thing that being his strength and his cloud, however he can't use them for very long without exhausting himself. DBK was the first to notice that sunny had powers during their imprisonment with spider queen, he was able to trigger sunny into activating them which got them free. though DBK did get punched for his efforts, sunny broke his wrist again and immediately passed out, DBK getting them the rest of the way out and bringing sunny to his family

Guns. Vagrancy. Fear of Prawns.

Has Blur's Graham Coxon lost the plot ?

NME : Aren't you a bit old for this skateboarding lark ?

"I'm probably a bit old for a lot of things I do and for lots of ways I feel. I don't think you're ever too old, contrary to what Luke Haines might think. He's far too young to be going on like he does. He said something very boring about me being as charismatic as a sick pet in a car."

What are the best and worst things about fatherhood ?

"The worst things are becoming worried about your child's safety and whether you're being a good parent. Those awful adverts on TV - 'This car is going 35mph, if it was going 30, it would've stopped here'. It's very upsetting because you immediately put your child in the position of this dummy-toddler.

"The best is when they're asleep. And now she holds out her hand so you can help her walk along. I suppose it's the things where you feel needed by them that make you happiest. I can walk down the road with her, holding her hand. She's like a little chimp but with blonde hair."

Are you squeamish ?

"I'm squeamish about seafood. I can't pull the heads off shrimps and things like that ; get me fingers all mucky in their eggs and peel the armour off. I dont like that. And there are some of those skate videos with people dropping from great heights onto their groins. There was a great one where this guy was doing a rail slide and he lands on his eye. They filmed him going to hospital and having this big vacuumy type thing washing it out then this great big syringe needle being stuck in the middle of it."

Which reality game show would you win ?

"Big Brother, easy. I'd have a guitar with me but I wouldn't fucking use it. I couldnt be arsed being on Survivor. If I cant pull the heads off shrimps, I wouldnt last a second on that. It'd be the lack of privacy I couldn't deal with, and no TV."

What would have to happen to make you move out of Camden ?

"If the river (Thames) moved north of it. Nothing against south London at all, but Camden isnt there, is it ? Or I suppose if Luke (Haines) moved there."

Who's the most fun : Sober Graham or Drunk Graham ?

"I think I'm quite fun for a while when I'm a bit drunk but often quite scary because I do get over-excited and gravitate toward speeding cars. I'm only probably more fun when I'm sober because I'm a happier person and not so flacky. I'm really badly flacky when i drink, which i really hate in others. I really love the mornings and i can only enjoy those when i'm not drinking. I get dreadful hangovers. I can't even move my eyeballs so i'm just staring at a section of the ceiling for hours with these inner hallucinations of death and insanity leaping around my pysche. I get obsessed with death and insanity."

Are you pissed off with Gorillaz becoming more popular than Blur ?

"No i'm not, although i'd like to know who's buying Gorillaz. But it's good because it's Damon's. He's doing what he wants to do. I think it's obviously going to be more popular than Blur stuff because it's of a substandard nature to Blur stuff. The music is pretty good but the more popular a thing is in this country, the more rubbish it is. It'd be best if people listened to simpler music, stuff that resonates more soulfully. I've seen the way my baby reacts to pop music, Steps-y type music, but it's an automaton reaction. But Shirley Collins ('60s folk singer) or the odd Steeleye Span record, it makes her smile and lighten up. Pop music now just pushes buttons. It's made of plastic, not wood ; it isn't real music. Good music isn't anything to do with commerce. Bad music is all to do with commerce."

Who or what is the "scum" you'd like "washed from the street" on 'Thank God for the Rain' on your new album, 'Crow sit in blood tree' ?

"I kind of wanted to make a social comment in a kind of protesty type song but l wanted to make the lyrics about things I've experienced around Camden. The scum are the people who are fucking pushing drugs to everybody who walks past them on the street corners, I hate them. And the people who spit on the floor and have such a huge amount of disrespect for everything that it brings general quality of life down. The four year old trying to kick your door down because you didn't give him a quid at Halloween. I'm gonna put turrets up on my house, put some guns up there, loads of trip-wires and a moat might be good, some of those lovely Dobermans. You instantly see so many more scumbags when you have a baby. Millions of them ! You need Robocop !"

Do you have any phobias ?'

"I used to not be able to walk up Parkway (busy Camden thoroughfare). I'd completely avoid it because I thought people would be making comments about me. I suppose that's what comes with being a slightly recognisable figure around here, you wonder what people are gonna be saying. I'm over that, but I'm very phobic about knives and violence. If I'm ever having any sleepless or restless nights it's usually something to do with dreams of violence."

Have you ever killed an animal for fun?

"Yeah, ants. I was a kid and I was watching some ants do their thing. I was about eight and I was fascinated by watching them doing what they were doing. Then suddenly I thought they shouldn't be allowed to do what they were doing because it was far too weird. So i decided i'd get a kettle full of hot water and pour it down their nest and stamp on them. It wasn't a pleasure, it was a duty. It was painful to do it but i had to, otherwise they'd take over the world. And i put a safety pin in a caterpillar once. All its blood was black."

If you were Prime Minister, what would you do ?

"Change the national anthem to nothing. I don't like nationnality. I hate being in cabs with St George crosses everywhere and some gobshite in the front who wants to spout his bigotry all over your face. I'd lock them all up until they grew up. Bigots and pop music fans, i'd lock them all up."

What was the last romantic thing you did ?

"Dressing up in really, really ancient work jeans, a really, really ancient valuable grandad shirt and some really old braces. Then i went to a roadside, covered myself in dirt and tried to hitch a lift. I sort of like the idea of vagrancy ; i think that's kind of romantic. For a second i felt like some itinerant folk hero. It was near Dungeness. It'd been a very long day and i'd been driving and i thought 'There's no way i' driving back to London', so i parked my car up, covered myself in dirt and thought i'd hitch a lift. Dirt is very romantic. No one picked me up. I was very close to a golf club and there were lots of people staring and they went past in their Range Rovers. I looked like i'd just appeared from out of the 1920s."

Are you good in bed ?

"Absolutely. Not. I'm very good at sleeping. I go to sleep very quick. I don't know about shagging. I can be good, i can be awful. I think i'm quite selfless."

Radiohead : art or arse ?

"That's art innit ?"
