[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

Good morning I'm thinking about how Azure Lion's treatment of Monkey King kinda explains a lot about Monkey Kings teaching style in LMK

Azure absolutely lavished Wukong with praise in a manipulative sense, described him as something he really wasn't "I see non other fit to rule us than you brother" yada yada and everyone followed behind him because Azure's right! He says truthful stuff! Nevermind the others clearly never once thought of Monkey King as their leader. At least not until Azure said it. Because Monkey King in LMK wasn't a warring being, honestly he just seemed like a young adult being manipulated by much older adults.

Azure crafted Monkey King into someone who would fight his battles for him. Wukong was on the front lines, Wukong took the fall for it. He used his relationship with sun wukong to manipulate him into taking on Heaven and ngl atho I'm still kinda :T about it, (it takes away so much of Monkey Kings character,) it really does explain why he acts the way he does around Mk at the beginning.

Starting out he kept him at arms length. It was a while before he even made contact with him outside of sparring and the contact he makes with him is minimal from the start, a hand on his shoulder and never for long. (Azure's hand and gaze always lingered on Monkie King, when theyre about to go to war Azure doesnt let go, Wukong has to be the one to pull away.) He doesn't lavish him in praise ever if he can help it, he doesn't ever tell Mk he's something he's not and when stuff like Spider Queen and Lady Bone Demon happen his first reaction is to get Mk away from those things, not because he doesn't trust Mk, but maybe because he would never ever make Mk fight his battles like Azure Lion did him.

I dunno something something truama I'm sick rn

Brotherhood Nicknames

Say, does anyone have any head canons for what Macaque would call DBK during the Brotherhood era? Like a nickname?

I feel like him and Wukong had nicknames for everyone in the Brotherhood. Some of them, they would use around the others jokingly. Other nicknames, however, were ones that they only used when they were alone and wanted to gossip LOL

[the-real-dev]

hey hello i did a thing ^_^

this is all about wukong btw!!

the song is To The King by TyKim, I really think the pale king fits wukong a lot...

more analysis under the cut!

about wukong and the pale king being so similar:

they are both willing to sacrifice everything for their goals; wukong's being immortality, and the pale king's being to preserve his kingdom as long as possible.

they have also both used multiple people to guarantee their success, pk used the vessels and the knight/ghost, and wukong (technically) used macaque and the brotherhood.

OH. ALSO. MK.

MK very much resembles the hollow knight, in a sense that they've both been used as a means to further goals; hk being used to stop the infection (not really) and MK being used to basically fix all of wukongs past mistakes. also, both of their minds are being "rotted" or being taken over in a sense. hk has the radiance and the infection, and MK has ink MK and his monkey form.

so tl;dr, HOLLOW KNIGHT AND LMK AU WHEN??? (/hj)

probably going to do more song overanalyzing sometime,,

Still waters run deep…

——————————————————

I headcanon that it wasn’t death that made Macaque a scheming savage and a dirty player, he was always like that. But back in the days of the Brotherhood he was more shy and timid, which, combined with adoration of Wukong and (at the time) small figure, made him look rather harmless and sometimes naive.

But, sometimes, his true nature did shine through

Also first time drawing anyone from the brotherhood except gay monkeys

what is this.....water :0

[swkbiggestdefender]

I can go into details on why these bitches were the most toxic friend group to ever exist and I will

Not specifically someone's fault they were just really bad for each other.

-First of all we have azure who put unrealistic standards on wukong and put him on a high pedestal feeding into wukong already unhealthy ego and when wukong stopped meting those standards all hell went lose

-second we have the hypocrite bird acting all high and mighty and mocking macaque for being a "coward" when they're the biggest coward themselves running away when things get hard abounded both yellowtusk and azure in the end of season 4

-third we have the not so wise yellowtusk for someone so wise he sure supported azure delusionals from day one sure believe in your friends but it gotten out of hand and never realised it until it was too late to stop azure from going to far and becoming consumed by pain and anger

-fourth we have macaque the only one with a brain in the whole group that know actions have consequences the problem is that he doesn't like anyone there except wukong and he doesn't make his own decision and let people walk all over him and even after his fell out with wukong he still let the brotherhood make his own decision about wukong being with the pilgrims

-fifth dbk I don't know what to say about him he wasn't even there when heaven took wukong he just fell in love with pif and left kinda fucked up but good for him they were doomed anyway

-and last but not least the most unhealthy self-destructive mf in the whole world sun wukong what can I say about him from his unhealthy ego that covering up his insecurities and fears to him being impulsive and not listening to reason and being the biggest people pleaser known to god he wanted to be loved and accepted so badly and live without fear of death and lost himself doing it

LMK Incorrect quotes#102 I REGRET NOTHIN-

Now imagine the brotherhood had to go to school to learn about the new world and what happened over the time they had been gone...Wukong and You just go for moral support...to Azure and Yellowtusk

Peng: Y/n's first detention, I'm so proud~ Azure: Whoa, backup. Why did they get detention? Mac*Is hiding in his hoodie next to Wukong, the reason you're in detention was...because you punched a guy who talked bad of his shadow play* Because they're an idiot... Wukong*terrified, Looking at Macaque*...They can do that??

Baby MK meets the brotherhood

As I said Azure Lion would love to meet lil MK, and Yellowtusk would too. Yellowtusk wouldn’t volunteer to watch MK but he’d be that uncle that would bring him little gifts or money whenever he saw him. Peng doesn’t like little MK, and little MK doesn’t like Peng. The feelings are mutual and they keep their distance from one another.

Hand practice with the brotherhood, because I wanted and I needed some sort of reference for the animatic.

Day 4: Language

[echoes-of-the-unknown]

This is the aftermath of an idea I had that results with Macaque saving the brotherhood from the scroll of memory but in doing so ends up being the only one imprisoned . . . he does not have a good time in there.
