I like to think that Macaque has more and softer fur than Wukong, so which of the children would have the softest and thickest fur?

YES

I'd think if he's a snow monkey he's gotta have thicker and softer than Wukong, no doubt.

As for kids.. I think Xῑwὰng would have the closest kind of fur to Macaque, with Qῑjὶ being a close second.

Xiwang Mu

I made some notes for Xiwang Mu a while ago cause I was super interested in her, I forgot I made this but i'll post it anyways even if its not finished: with both yang and yin, sun and moon, life and death, reveals the goddess's control over the universe. Her link to both yin and yang also suggests androgyny, completeness, and independence. The Queen Mother's usual anthropomorphic attendants are minor deities known as blue lads and jade girls, or followers seeking immortality. In the clay brick from Szechwan, two seated or kneeling female figures, perhaps goddesses, appear in the lower right corner, and two male figures, a deeply bowing attendant holding a jade tablet and a standing guard holding a halberd, fill the lower left corner. The Szechwan tile shows the goddess ruling alone above a hierarchy of spirits. In other contexts, such as the reliefs at the Wu Liang offering shrines and at I nan, she is accompanied by her divine consort, Tung Wang Kung (the King and Sire of the East), who is also called Tung Wang Fu (King Father of the East). She is yin to his yang; the pair embodies the divine marriage that creates the world and keeps it in balance.

Han poetry. Han poems agree with other sources in depicting the Queen Mother as a goddess of longevity living on a magic mountain. Ssu-ma Hsiang-:iu's (179-I I7 B.C.) Tajen fu (Rhapsody on the great man), written between 130 and 120 B.C., portrays her as an old hag. (The fu was a literary form special to the Han that mixed elements of prose and poetry and is often translated as "rhapsody" or "prose-poem.") A part from his humorous tone and clear delineation of age, Ssu-ma's description matches that found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The goddess wears a sheng headdress in her white hair and dwells in a remote mountain cave, where a threelegged crow brings her food. The poet comments: "If one were to live without dying, even for a myriad generations, what joy would one have?" (SC, 1 1 7.3060). Through satire and rhetoric, Ssu-ma Hsiang-ju criticizes the cult of immortality and warns the emperor, the "great man" of the title, against wasting his energy in vain pursuit of the worthless gifts offered by this old witch. Yang Hsiung's (53 B.C. -A.D. I S) Kan ch'uan fu (Rhapsody on the Sweet Springs) commemorates an imperial sacrifice to the supreme heavenly deity known as T'ai I or Grand Unity. The long poem takes its title from the Sweet Springs Palace to the east ofCh'ang an, where the ritual was held. Yang Hsiung glorifies Emperor Ch'eng (r. 32-7 B.C.), whose sacrificial procession and ceremonial performance he compares to the shamanistic journeys of the "Elegies of Ch'u." He praises Emperor Ch'eng's palace, likening its building$ and grounds to the goddess's estate on Mount K'un-Iun. Amid purple and turquoise palaces stand gardens planted with jade trees. There stands the Queen Mother of the West, attended by jade maidens and river goddesses. The narrator visualizes her during his ascent to transcendence. "Thinking of the Queen Mother of the West, in a state of joy he makes offerings to obtain longevity" ( WH,

Ia-I4b). Yang emphasizes the adept's flight to immortality with the aid of the goddess. Han dynasty literati venerated the Queen Mother of the West as a major deity who dwelt in heaven, dominated other spirits, controlled access to immortality, and promised ecstatic flight through space. 30

Han works in the Taoist canon. The history of the Taoist religion begins in the second century with the risc of two schools: the Celestial Masters or Five Pecks of Rice school in Szechwan and the Great Peace school around the capital city ofLo yang. They have left few surviving texts and fewer references to the Queen Mother. In fact, no contemporary record of either popular or elite cults to the Queen Mother during the Han dynasty survives in the Taoist canon. The earliest reference to her found in the patrology may be a line in the T'ai-p'ing ching (Classic of grand peace), a text originating in the Celestial Masters schoo!. One line in a section of the classic entitled "Declarations of the Celestial Masters" reads: "Let a person have longevity like that of the Queen Mother of the West," a phrase almost identical to Han mirror inscriptions.31 The Celestial Masters school connects her with long life but shows the goddess no special reverence. Han texts in the canon neglect a cult other sources show to be widespread and continuous, centered on a goddess who was to become one of the highest deities. This may result from attempts on the part of early Taoist leaders to reform the native religions of China. Such tendencies may be seen in efforts by the Celestial Masters to eliminate ancestor worship, blood sacrifice, and monetary payments to the clergy. The Queen Mother's later readmission to the divine hierarchy of the official Taoist church would then represent one of the many victories of the native religion. But the goddess herself changes under the impact of the Taoist religion, as we shall see. . Shang Ch 'ing Taoism, Paradise, Local Cults: The Six Dynasties Shang ch'ing Taoism. The most important development concerning worship of the Queen Mother of the West during the Six Dynasties period was her incorporation into the religious system of Shang ch'ing Taoism. The school takes its name from the highest of three heavens where its gods dwell: the Realm of Supreme Clarity. This new lineage absorbed many archaic goddesses worshiped in earlier eras, such as local deities of the rivers and lakes. Alone among them the Queen Mother remained powerful and active rather than subservient. But her nature altered to suit new needs. Shang ch'ing Taoism originated with revelations from the highest

Humans also have her. She resides in the center of a person's right eye, where her surname is Grand Yin, her name Mysterious Radiance, and her cognomen Supine Jade. A person must obtain the King Father [described in the previous entry as the primal pneuma of blue yang, the precedent one of the myriad divinities, who resides at the magic island of P'eng-lai in the Eastern Sea] and the Queen Mother and guard them in his two eyes. Only then will he be able to practice pacing the void, observing and looking up, and with acute hearing and eyesight distinguish and recognize good and evil. Then he can cause to flow down the various deities, just as a mother thinks of her child, and as a child also thinks of its mother. The germinal essence and pneuma will obtain each other, and for a myriad generations he will prolong his stay.

未定的注定 (Undecided Fate) --LYRICS RETRANSLATION + NOTES

A/N: finally, after all these years, I post something that isn't a shitpost. Was chatting with discord friends while playing ToT episode 9 and that one line by luke made me wanna translate this. Uhh, translation notes at the end. Have fun reading and geeking out with me. This is a personal translation of the lyrics of ToT's official theme song

曾是我 寄身在黑暗中 Ceng shi wo ji shen zai hei’an zhong I used to be stuck in the dark 走尽夜路也盼有灯属于我 zou jin ye lu ye pan you deng shuyu wo Walking the night path with a lamp/light of mine 是否等候我的窗将有微光涌动 shifou denghou wo de chuang jiang you wei guang yong dong Whether a (soft) light shimmers through my windows 绽放成你 温热在我手 zhanfang cheng ni wen re zai wo shou Gently blooms into you in my hands

你是未定的希望 ni shi weiding de xiwang You're the undetermined hope 却是注定的光芒 que shi zhuding de guangmang Yet the fated light 照引我的心 zhao yin wo de xin Light up my heart 到黑夜退去 dao heiye tuiqu Retreat into the night

愿我也能温暖你 yuan wo ye neng wennuan ni Hope that I can also warm you up 走向未定的真相 zouxiang weiding de zhenxiang Walking towards the undetermined truth 解除命运的捆绑 jiechu mingyun de kunbang Untie the restraints of life's path 无所畏惧和你相倚 wu suo weiju he ni xiang yi Fearlessly lean on eachother with you

在余生每个黎明 zai yusheng mei ge liming At dawn, for the rest of our lives 你是谜 封锁住我眼眸 ni shi mi fengsuo zhu wo yan mou You're the riddle that locked my eyes shut 你是意义占据我所思所有 ni shi yiyi zhanju wo suo si suoyou You're the reason occupying all my thoughts 你是未定的美好我开始猜不透 ni shi weiding di meihao wo kaishi cai bu tou You're the indetermined perfection that I can't figure out

现在我才懂 为何萦梦 xianzai wo cai dong weihe ying meng Only now have I realized why we dream 你是未定的希望 ni shi weiding de xiwang You're the undetermined hope 却是注定的光芒 que shi zhuding de guangmang Yet the fated light 照引我的心 zhao yin wo de xin Light up my heart

走向未定的真相 zouxiang weiding de zhenxiang Walking towards the undetermined truth 解除命运的捆绑 jiechu mingyun de kunbang Untie the restraints of life's path 无所畏惧和你相倚 wu suo weiju he ni xiang yi Fearlessly lean on eachother with you 在余生每个黎明 zai yusheng mei ge liming At dawn, for the rest of our lives

已注定 yi zhuding Already fated

你是未定的希望 ni shi weiding de xiwang You're the undetermined hope

却是注定的光芒 que shi zhuding de guangmang Yet the fated light 照引我的心 zhao yin wo de xin Light up my heart 到黑夜退去 dao heiye tuiqu Retreat into the night 愿我也能温暖你 yuan wo ye neng wen nuan ni Hope that I can also warm you up

走向未定的真相 zouxiang weiding de zhenxiang Walking towards the undetermined truth 解除命运的捆绑 jiechu mingyun de kunbang Untie the restraints of life's path 无所畏惧和你相倚 wu suo weiju he ni xiang yi Fearlessly lean on eachother with you 在余生每个黎明 zai yusheng mei ge liming At dawn, for the rest of our lives 已注定 yi zhuding Already fated

NOTES:

绽放 specifically means the opening of the flower petals when a flower blooms Also MC is very flower-coded (rosa) So i thought that was a nice detail

Now the "warming up" specifically means the type of comforting warmth that campfires or torches will give you on a cold dark night

解除 (untie) could possibly be a reference to how the NXX investigation gets more and more complicated, with an overwhelming amount of cases practically "tangled up" in eachother, so you're slowly picking it apart one by one with the team (aka your soulmates)

Also I specifically used "lifes path" for 命运 because that phrase is only used to talk about the course of a persons life, aka the events/path that life has laid down for you (your canon events, if you will)

意义 means like, the significance, meaning or reason/motivation behind someone's actions, but idk how to translate that

黎明 was hard to translate, cause it can mean both dawn and dusk, or any time of day (altho dawn and dusk are the most used, hehe crepusculum and diluculum) but it basically mean that the two relies on eachother every single day for the rest of their lives

A/N: That's it! Hope this was comprehensible to read

number 15: " you break every single promise you make, but still have the audacity to talk to me like that? "

[ prompt ] -  “you break every single promise you make, but still have the audacity to talk to me like that? “

characters … shim miyeo, mu xiwang

time stamp … date unspecified

warnings … arguing, mentions of loneliness and verbal abuse

the quiet rustle of the leaves was calming to mew, her body sitting on a cold bench in her favorite park. she never liked loud things, primarily due to her parents. they were always yelling at her or each other, though she never let her younger brother be the centre of the verbal abuse that came from their parents. mew remembered the last thing she and her friend had talked about. closing her eyes as she breathed out to calm herself, trying to remember her friend's face.

"how could you just say that to me!? it's like you don't even consider my words important," xiwang shouted, the dark night sky covering their bodies from any light "xiwang, you don't understand–" mew tried to explain. "i don't understand!? no, miao, you don't understand. you never even try to understand. even now, you don't bother to understand how i feel, i always have your back, but whenever it comes down to it, you don't care about me!" tears fell from her eyes as xiwang tried to wipe them away. hiccuping, xiwang tried to say what she had on her mind for a long time. "miao, you disgust me. the way you disregard other people's wishes and words is so despicable" mew stayed quiet. for the first time in a while, someone other than her parents had yelled and insulted her, she always fought back, defending herself, but this time she was just silent. not wanting the situation to escalate mew just looked down.

"do you have anything to say for yourself? explain to me why you act like this, making yourself seem higher above others while, in reality, you're at rock bottom." the quiet sound of the cicadas stopped as if they knew that if another sound was to be heard, everything would be over. "i-i…" miyeo didn't know what to say. words simply escaped her mouth. she stared at the ground, blurry vision from the tears in her eyes. xiwang took this as a sign that miyeo agreed with what she had said. "i see how it is. you break every single promise you make," she pushed out, "but the audacity that you have to still talk to me like that is unbelievable" xiwang scoffed and rolled her eyes, trying to not cry. "i hope you have a nice life, miao, goodbye" xiwang whispered before turning away and leaving.

opening her eyes, she breathed out while wiping her tears away, she had come out here at night to calm down, but instead, she thought of painful memories, trying to stay in the past so that she wasn't alone. after deciding that was enough, she stood up and left her sadness on that bench that night.

Question #3! What does their safe space look like? For Spinos and the shadowpeach kids

Okay! Spinos first!

Despite his lack of nature to go out of the house, he finds the aquarium, or any body of water a good place to go to when he needs it. The sound of the waters pushing against each other and the sight of beautiful creatures are enough to make him relax and calm down.

Now I have 4 kids so let's start from oldest to youngest-

Jῑnzi's safe space would be the Plum tree garden that exists in a cave on FFM (people reading OBoTY would know what I’m talking about-). Since its mostly reserved for her family, she usually spends her time in there, eating the plums and playing with the monkeys there until she feels confident to face her problems. If that doesn't work she'll be in her room, curled on her bed while holding her stuffed doll Monkey King Jr, a toy Wukong made for when she was a young cub. It helps her calm down if the situation gets really bad, so she only uses it as a last resort.

Xῑwὰng likes to visit Macaque's old home, the Macaque kingdom in the mountains. He has a spiritual connection to his late grandfather, and can see his spirit residing in the ruined lands. He likes to talk to his grandfather about his problems and other things, and listens to his grandfather's advice, taking each word for heart.

Qῑjὶ, as strange as it sounds, goes to the Demon Bull family for comfort. They like drinking tea with PIF, training with DBK, and teasing and fooling around Redson. Makes her feel like a kid, something she had a hard time to deal with due to . . . reasons-

Shénmῑ goes to his Bὰba’s theatre for his safe space, because he grew up learning to love the art of acting, and likes to watch Macaque’s plays as a way to make him feel young again, and relax his mind. If watching doesn’t help, he’ll join the play and help out, going through the motions as best as he can to ignore his problems before facing them again with a better mindset.

hope that answered it all!

Vince/Xiwang ; Stanley Character

[rebhb]

the perfect tale.

Being outside still feels weird after so many days locked in his apartment, but the only thing encouraging him to dress up and go downstairs to meet with Xiwang and Butterscotch. There are many ways to convince Hanbyeol to leave the safety of his home, but nobody does it as well and his friend Xiwang does --- being able to meet him and his adorable cat, it is more than enough to make Hanbyeol put on his shoes and go on little adventures together.

He puts on some jeans and a simple shirt and a jacket, a pair of comfortable shoes and a baseball cap, and he can’t forget the bracelet that Xiwang gifted him once their friendship started to become something more solid. Once the trust between them was built completely. Hanbyeol doesn’t have the habit of taking the bracelet off, but he avoids showering with it to make sure it won’t be damaged by water.

After he leaves the building where his apartment is located, he not-so-calmly walks towards the park where they always meet; he has his hands shoved in the pockets of his jacket and the cap on his head almost hides his face --- he actually looks very suspicious, instead of discreet.

But when he sees Xiwang, he can’t help the bright smile that spreads on his lips, his eyes almost disappear into small crescents when he opens his arms for his friend.

“Hey,��� he says and gives Xiwang a hug. “It’s been a while, huh?”
