A lil bit of Demon season for 3am AU

Celestial primates aren’t affected as much since they’re some weird in between of celestial beings and demons lol, so the monkeys can gets some instincts during it but they’re just vibing during most of it

Still don’t mean they don’t get suitors during that time, it’s very lucky for them that they live in an isolated island

These events take place some time after Xiaoxing was born, actually the first time Macaque was out in society since then, and what a way to be welcomed back, mans was just trying to go grocery shopping fr😭😭😭

(Little more comic lore below:

Demon season is a time when people with demon descent are more influenced by their instincts and new relationships are established,,, people go out and following instincts, try and pursue people of higher status and power, and that can be felt through a demons magical presence. So when Macaque went out to a village’s plaza and was walking around alone, demons in the area took notice of this very powerful ancient demon (although during the time he was weakened, people can still feel the power within him) and were immediately attracted to him. They could also tell that he had just had a child which is why a lot of them were hesitant to approach the guy, until this youngling just walked up to him and started the whole charade.

Could Macaque have said no? Definitely. The problem is that a lot of the season is about power, so being able to beat your pursuer and reject them is much more effective than going ‘no’ in this situation, it’s kinda like a pride and honor thing, especially in such a public space. Macaque though wasn’t really that confident to engage in a fight with the guy especially if it gave others the idea to challenge him right after, so he pulled out his secret weapon: Wukong. Who would, by mere presence, deescalate the situation immediately.)

(In case you’re wondering, Macaque called for his mate, and Wukong responded immediately) (And this is right after Xiaoxing was born, they are not beating the allegations)
