#these monkies be messy

[centuryberry]

No hate but I feel like Abandoned Yue AU seems to be a bit... flawed when Rinrin and Shanza came in.

While it would be on point for Rinrin to hide stuff about her wouldn't she have told Shanza about her being formerly married? If they were together should she have told her anything about herself?

I feel like it would be more consistent that instead of misunderstanding the situation, Shanza would stay back to let Rinrin sort out the situation with Wukong and Macaque. Then Macaque would step back so Wukong and Rinrin sort their marriage issue. Also Yue moves in with Mac and Shanza to avoid people talking about her.

No hate I'm just genuinely confused

Okay, let me be honest with you: these Celestial Primates are messy. That's their default. Them being able to function smoothly and reasonably in "Queen of the Mountain" is solely because our Yue (the one with the memories of a past life) triggered some character development and caused Shadowpeach/Iceflower to get together.

The Yue in this AU? A normal baby monkey. Maybe a little smarter than her peers, but a normal baby monkey who grew up in FFM. I mean, she's really cute and the Celestial Primates do their best not to argue when she's in earshot, but she's not in the position to play relationship counselor to these hot messes.

Shanzha and RinRin in this AU never truly opened up with each other and put a solid label on their relationship by the time they reached FFM. They're uncertain. They're insecure. They didn't have the time to build the trust with each other that their QotM counterparts did, so when the whole "RinRin was married to Wukong" thing came up, things fell apart pretty quickly.

And hey, this isn't the first time we see the Celestial Primate poly being messy. Just take a look at Warlord Shanzha AU and Withered Grave Flowers AU. They're a mess. But they at least figured things out in this AU and found their happily ever after.

Hope this clears up some of the confusion for you.

Being Normal… (End)

Part 3 (Previous)

[butterflyscribbles]

Freenoodle Headcanons (Part 1) - bc there’s no way I’ll have time to draw them all out fast enough and I need to get them out of my brain:

Hidden underneath bc it’s loooong…

- Tang and Pigsy met in a college-level business class. Pigsy was going for a general business major with a minor in culinary arts. Tang was pursuing Chinese Literature and Lingustics in order to eventually be a librarian or museum archivist as well as an author on the side. They started interacting more bc Tang threatened to call Pigsy out for cheating on an exam and Pigsy “bought” his silence with a bowl of homemade noodles.

- It started with “blackmail” that Tang was gonna tell if Pigsy ever stopped making food for him but gradually they just started hanging out. Pigsy began to realize that if it weren’t for him, Tang would have most likely wasted away considering he was not only a picky eater but would also completely forget meals while being so focused on his studies. Tang in return started helping Pigsy with study before big exams as well. It became routine until they both finished the class. That was one of the only classes they had together being on pretty separate tracks but by then they were close enough friends to continue hanging out semester after semester.

- Tang’s family was not too fond of him hanging out with Pigsy and eventually Sandy who had a bit of a rebellious (and somewhat criminal) hot streak. Lots of being kicked out of bars for fighting, loud music and band parties that somehow would force them to migrate into Tang’s apartment after they trashed their own.

- Tang used to have pierced ears that were Pigsy’s own handiwork but his mom made him take them out the minute he visited home. He wants to get them pierced again even now because he loved how it looked but is lowkey too chicken to act on it bc ouchieeee needles it was hard enough the first time

- They never really defined themselves as dating out loud in college but they were definitely “more than friends” after a while. Pigsy crushed on him first but Tang fell harder once he finally caught on that Pigsy liked him. They were both too emotionally constipated scared to slap an official label on it though.

- Tang is almost always freezing and wrapped up in sweaters, scarves and mittens. Pigsy is always hot. Equilibrium achieved.

- Speaking of scarves, Tang’s trademark red scarf and most precious comfort item he owns, was a gift from Pigsy’s mother when Pigsy introduced him to his parents. He is almost never without it and takes very good care of it because it is hand-made and one of a kind.

- Tang was NOT a fan of the Pigsy mustache era™️ but that did not stop the pig man from burrowing his face onto him and teasing him near to death with prickly kisses

- Pigsy’s affectionate nickname for Tang became “truffles” for a hot second after this^^ Tang secretly and begrudgingly loved it. The nickname is still stashed away for special occasions and ONLY when its the two of them.

- The mirror to that is Tang found out Pigsy’s weak spots were his ears and under his chin. Loves scritches and sometimes Tang would just reach out and idly play with his ears if they were within reach. That’s also something that occurs in present time.

- On rare occasions, Tang would convince Pigsy to sing for him and most of those moments ended in tears both of sadness or laughter on both ends. Mostly because Pigsy would either sing songs his mom taught him or ones he could only half remember the lyrics to.

- They stayed in contact for a while even after Pigsy graduated (Tang was pursuing a PHD so he stayed in school longer). Tang and Sandy were both there when the restaraunt was passed down to Pigsy and they were the first customers at Pigsy’s Noodles.

Things got a bit more complicated after that…

- For about 5 months before MK came into their lives, Tang and Pigsy were actually having a huge fight and were not on speaking terms. Sandy’s anger and violence issues were at an all time high and he dropped out of college just before graduating, Pigsy and Tang struggled to define their relationship after they Tang’s family was insistent he finally cut them out of his life and it lead to a big fight where Sandy ended up leaving the trio and there was a huge and bitter rift between the three of them.

- Three weeks after Pigsy’s mom passed, little MK showed up on his doorstep. He was already running the shop alone for the first time and now he suddenly had a child who desperately needed him. While MK brought some much needed light back into his life, he struggled to properly care for the little ball of energy and still make end’s meet. His quick temper and the passing of his mom had seriously impacted business and chased off a lot of regulars as it was. So, he called the only person he trusted to help. The minute Pigsy explained his situation…Tang didn’t hesitate to come back, even as he continued classes. Things were awkward and messy for sure and there was a lot of baggage to sort through…but they made it work for their little monkey kid.

Okay that’s it ta ta for now part two is going to be Freenoodle Family focused I wanted this one to be more on the early days before MK to set it all up.

I love you fandoms with several continuations. I love you fandoms with conflicting canons. I love you fandoms with incomplete lore, I love you fandoms with inconsistant lore, I love you fandoms with too much lore to make sense. I love you fandoms with bad or weak worldbuilding. I love you fandoms that don't think of The Implications. I love you fandoms of reboots and remakes, I love you fandoms of video games, I love you fandoms with so many versions you cannot possibly tell what came first. I love you naturally accuring multiverses, and fandoms where the AU is an inherent part of the franchise. I love you character that have had countless looks and personalities and stories but stay the same at their core. I love you fandoms that force the fans to pick and choose. I love you fandoms that have a million slightly different canons by design.
