#six eggs

[i-drop-art-in-your-asks]

Do you guys know that riddle going around about the eggs??

Well if not, it goes something like this:

"I have SIX EGGS. I cracked TWO, I fried TWO, and I ate TWO... How many eggs are there left?"

Now, I hope everyone is paying attention because I have developed a visual example of this word problem.

It starts with a half-dozen of eggs, in their carton...

Take two (as indicated by the circled portion of the carton) and crack them into a frying pan...

Now, you can't fry an egg with the shell ON and your pan already has some in it, right? So, you would fry the eggs you cracked earlier.

Why would you try to eat a whole, raw egg, let alone two? What do you think you are, a snake? You JUST fried two perfectly good eggs and you think you should go anaconda on the ones left in the fridge? Eat the fried eggs! You wouldn't bake cookies and then turn around and spoon raw flour into your mouth, would you?

Now, look back at the carton... How many eggs are NOT circled?? That's the answer.

I was so frustrated trying to explain this to my "stepdad???" that I had to draw the problem out to ensure that I'm not going insane....

He has yet to see it but I'm going to find someplace where he has no choice but to see it.

AU idea: Wukong goes into labor with the stone egg WHILE he's fighting Macaque

Not sure which fight you mean honestly, but I assume you meant the "OG" fight back during the Journey days.

I imagine this all occurs likely in a version of the Jttw Stone Egged au where Macaque joins the gang after he found out.

Wukong and Macaque are fighting neck and neck when Macaque finally stops to listen to Wukong's shouts;

Wukong, in tears: "Macaque please! Don't make me do this! I'm with-" Macaque: "What's that weird noise??" Wukong: "Huh?" Macaque: "It sorta sounds like a... bag of water? With a heartbeat inside of- OHHHH!" Macaque: (*points at Wukong's pants*) Wukong: (*looks down and sees that his water has broken*) Both monkeys: (*start screaming!*)

Macaque drops his glamour immediately to tend to his mate.

Macaque: "I have so many questions! Who, why, and how long?!" Wukong, has Macaque's hand in a death-grip: "You, Mountain, 500 years." Macaque, mental gears turning: "Huh!?! How did- ohhh wait... self-spawning. If I had kept coming and fed you peaches you wouldn't have-" Wukong: "Yeah!" Macaque: "And since I wa- Am your mate the kid would be-" Wukong: "YEAH." Macaque, trying to lighten the mood: "Do I get visitation rights?" Wukong, voice deepening: "DON'T PUSH IT, BUD!"

Eventually the Pilgrims and Guanyin catch up (the Bodhisattva heard that water break from across the sea), and see the Six Eared Macaque has completely dropped his Monkey King glamour and is trying his best to keep the real Sun Wukong's breathing steady.

Guanyin quickly gets to work; bringing Wukong to somewhere nice and warm and dry to have the baby. They suggest that the reappearance of the other parent (i.e Macaque) caused the Egg to prematurely decide to make itself known.

Bonus if this is the first time certain Pilgrims (besides a wise dragon-dragon) heard of such a thing XD

Ao Lie, excited: "It's already happening!? Congratulations!!" Wukong: "Thanks Lie, but I'd prefer to get the kid out before you all start thanking me." Zhu Bajie, oblivious: "Wait what kid!? They heck is everyone talking about?!" Tripitaka: (*hyperventilating into his hat like it's a paper bag*) Sha Wujing: "I suppose well wishes are in order! Did Brother Wukong drink from the same river and choose to decline the cure?" Wukong: "No, it's HIS fault." (*jabs thumb at Macaque*) Macaque: (*blushing, waves nervously at his mate's Pilgrim brothers*) Ao Lie, breaking the tension: "So this is your Equal in Strength you've been telling us about!" Macaque, slight smugness: "That's what you've been calling me?" Wukong, gritting teeth from pain: "Not now Mihou..."

Macaque stays at Wukong's side the whole time, even as his instincts are going nuts, snarling at the Pilgrims if they dare approach. And even when his hand was definitely broken by Wukong's grip during a really bad contraction.

The rest of the Pilgrims meditate and pray for Wukong and the baby's health. Ao Lie makes a point of chilling in his dragon form to scare off any passing creatures or people - dragons don't like being disturbed when they're laying an egg, and he imagines its the same for Stone Monkeys.

After a lot of pushing and encouragement, a tiny egg makes itself known, cracking open shortly thereafter.

What lies within?

A chirpy, chubby-faced baby monkey with glowing (Macaque starts crying then) ears and dark fur - the little thing's cries sounding indignant as if they'd been awakened from a long sleep. Guanyin makes a point to gather the citrine and amethyst-imbedded shell of the newborn for the parents to keep.

Wukong and Macaque can't even remember what they were fighting about earlier - all that matters is the clinging baby on Wukong's chest. Little thing is a bit smaller than expected due to their premature birth, but they're healthy and hungry.

The rest of the Pilgrims are allowed in after everything is cleaned up and Macaque's hand has been bandaged.

First thing out of anyone's mouth is;

Zhu Bajie: "I thought monkeys had litters?" Wukong, growling: "Don't jinx me."

So yeah, now the Journey has a newborn baby and it's dad along for the ride.

Egg anon back at it again

Absolutely love the interpretation you got for R&S

Something about Savage being described as a Feral husk is so funny to me

You know that one image of the person rearing their kids with baby leashes? That’s the vibe I get/pos

EGG ANON that's it that's your name now-

Well you definitely make the idea of Savage being a husk of sorts a lot less morbid than I imagined it!

This is pretty accurate, too, though

You sat up in bed, tiredly turning your head, only to be met by this sight.

"...Morning, Master. Did you sleep well?"

Oh no. He's smiling. The world is about to end. 👀

Macaque is just there cuz I felt like wanting to doodle his cat design in color for once- He looks so floofy and huggable tho-

i’d be so mad if i was ford. i finally get out of my multidimensional nightmare and return to my home and my family only to get smacked in the face with 30 years of inflation. it would be my last straw.

So my husband got sick last week from another coworker coming in while she was contagious, and as a result he missed a couple days of work. Because of that his paycheck this week was a few hundred less than what he usually gets, and since rent was due it basically took his entire check.

We don't have enough left to get us food and drinks to last the next two weeks and, of course, our roommates can't help with that and, in fact, have actively been making it more difficult to keep ourselves fed because they keep sneaking when we either aren't home or are asleep and eating our food without asking.

We haven't confronted them on this because neither of them handle being called out on bullshit well and tend to take even minor things that aren't of an accusatory nature at all as a Personal Attack for some reason. And we don't have, like, proper proof aside from our word against theirs that they've been taking our food and in general it just is not worth the headache and anxiety it would cause to bring it up.

We have a contingency plan to keep future groceries that don't have to be refrigerated in our room where they can't get to things, but, right now we can't even get ourselves anything because we are flat broke. So.

Opening Emergency Commissions for $5 headshot icons, and $15 full body single character deals. As long as you have a decent ref I can draw for pretty much any fandom, though I will admit that heavily robotic characters are not my strong suit. Some examples of my art can be found under my blog tag #nocturnal emissions!

If you don't need/want a commission but still feel like helping out, my PayPal is at whimsicalcupcake91@gmail.com, and reblogs of this post are much appreciated to get the word out!

And for anyone curious about how much we'd need to both get groceries and still ensure my husband has a way to get to work on the days he can't get a ride with coworkers, it'd likely be around 3-4 hundred to get by.

okay so, I was curious for something that’s been on my mind for a while….so, in slow boiled au, Wukong kills Mac because he was protecting his egg…my question is, What would have happened if Macaque did kill the egg?

I feel really bad for asking but it has been in my head for months.

Odds are; a version of the Century Egg Au (perhaps even happening within it).

Wukong exits the mountain with an Egg. An Egg that has a pretty high chance to kill him no matter the immortalities he's accumulated over the centuries. He's excited but terrified all at once.

Then the infamous fight between him and Macaque occurs, but unlike the other Egg aus... Macaque's strike at Wukong's stomach was true, or the stress of losing his mate was just too much for Wukong's body to handle. Because Wukong can handle a hit a or too - he's damn near indestructible and the Egg has magic of it's own, but what the Egg cannot handle is the mental and emotional anguish of it's parent. Stone Monkeys who are successfully revived from their stasis *do* often lose their Eggs as a means of ensuring the parent's continued survival - even if it means losing the last trace of their lost spouse.

Now suddenly there's no more Egg.

Wukong's body reabsorbs all the Dao the egg stored over the course of those years. He even experiences symptoms similar to what happened to Zhu Bajie and Tripitaka when they took the Spring Water in the Kingdom of Women.

He now knows that both the Egg and his Mate are Gone.

Wukong falls into a depression that takes decades for him to recover from. His Pilgrim brothers having no easy way to comfort him. Guanyin weeps for her adoptive son/brother as he sobs into their arms. Even the Ten Kings feel the Monkey King's sorrow from a Realm away - out of pity, Ksitigarbha ensures that the Egg's soul is kept safe for a time until when they may rejoin their parent.

DBK and PIF are informed of what happened, the two overwhelmingly sympathetic from their own losses. The birth of Red Son was the first light in Wukong's life for a long time after his tragedy. But he still fantasies of what sort of person his cub may have turned out to be if they had made it.

Then around 500 years before the present day, Wukong finally decides once and for all to take the initiative and bring his child back into the world - even if it means his own passing.

DBK's reaction to learning of his younger brother's intentions is... volcanic to say the least.

Wukong, already despairing the loss of his first child, his mate, and his Pilgrim brothers, now becomes responsible for the imprisonment of his older brother and the separation of his family. The very same people who got him through the toughest point of his life!

Informing Nezha that he intends on a "extended meditation" on his island, Wukong makes the preparations.

He wraps himself in Macaque's scarf before he buries himself into the dirt of Water Curtain Cave, only Nezha, PIF, and his dear Stalwarts privy to his location.

And he sleeps.

Until the reincarnated form of his dearest brothers find him.
