Hobie should have a little old lady who adores him
Hear me out-
Monkey king but gender swapped lesbian
I am several steps ahead of you! Gender swapping is really silly to me, buuut whatever people like it. I havenât drawn them in a while, yâall can give me doodle suggestions with them
This is my own lil take/idea on the Triad AU by @skittlescriptsâ - Basically you donât have a double life in my version but are the reincarnation of his love. Just cuz I can only write what my interest chooses to sit on, and it apparently didnât sit well with the by day/nightlife concept hfdngfhdngfd- So it ended up with picking a different path in my head. :âD
Smol doodle drawn by me with my persona cuz it fits more than a random Wukong screenshot. c:
⥠~ Fluff ~ âĄ
Today was a pretty chill day for your workplace. You did have customers come in, but it wasnât as many as usual. Assuming people were simply busy themselves today, you didnât think much of it. Well, that was until one of your co-workers told you about how your boss seemed to have gotten into some trouble with a member of the local triad. Something along the lines of her having gotten into an argument over keeping the restaurant on their kingâs turf. But apparently it was a lower member, so he ended up threatening to get a higher-up. And customers who received the news were wary about eating there for a while.
Nothing happened however, so it seemed more like an empty threat from your bossâs point of view.
And yet due to what you heard, you were a little bit on edge yourself. Mainly about the potential shut down of the restaurant, making you essentially jobless once more. And you actually did enjoy your job here.
You were the one who designed the restaurant aesthetically, making it feel more welcoming for those afraid of the organization lurking everywhere. And since the restaurant was in a rather shady part of Megapolis, it stood out quite a long. You were also in charge of making to-go packages look nicely. Aluminum animals were littered around the windows for show of your abilities in the crafts of origami and general design.
And it did garner a lot of attention because most passerby found it really cute. Even customersâ children sometimes asked if they could make their own little animals with your assistance. But your skills did not make you famous or really be seen. You were quite invisible to the public eye, always sitting quietly in a corner or in the back of the restaurant. In fact, you were so invisible that the two powerful demons that came in later that day didnât notice you folding up another delivery for someone who ordered for pick-up. The customer specifically asked for a fox as a little gift for one of his family members. You yourself were so occupied by your artistic piece and playlistâs music that you didnât notice them coming in either.
The demons were talking to your co-worker and were âkindlyâ asking for your boss. And of course, your co-worker, terrified as she was, jogged towards the back to get your boss.
âUgh, why does everyone keep on picking this part of the city for their business?â The monkey with an eye patch questioned while scrolling through his phone, thoroughly bored. He knew this 'talkâ wouldnât take long, so why was he demanded to join in the first place?
The other simian leaning against the counter huffed, âWell, they simply donât learn this area is off-limits. I donât even see any reason to keep this restaurant here anyway. We can just scare off every customer if we go the non-violent route.â He quickly flipped through the menu, or rather looked at solely the pictures. âEven the food here looks mediocre at best. Killing the people here plus the business would actually be a blessing.â
âAt least the decorationâs nice. I mean, look at this cat!â The black-furred one commented, holding up a miniature kitten made out of aluminum foil he found by the counter.
âHm, trueâ, the other one admitted. His eyes then glanced around the roomâs decor⌠until his eyes landed on you.
You, who made The Great Sage instantly freeze in shock.
You, who was sitting lonely in the corner of the empty restaurant.
You⌠who looked like an exact replica of his long lost lover, just with different clothing.
His one and only beloved, who managed to tame this beast of a feral demon⌠until they died to another demonâs talons. It caused the Monkey King to snap and make sure this demon would no longer serve as a reminder of what happened. The environment wasnât safe from the encounter either. Unfortunately, he was unable to bring you back, and he had no way of knowing if you would ever be able to reincarnate. But it seems he finally had found you after so many years. And you were the one behind the creation of the only good thing about this restaurant.
The monkey stared at you for so long that his eyes started to dilate and his tail started to slowly swish from side to side. His lips curled into a soft smile as he witnessed your happiness with your work. His friend seemed to notice and followed his gaze.
Ah. Now he understood.
He smirked at his superiorâs lovestruck expression. Until your co-worker returned, trailing behind your boss, who suddenly seemed a lot more anxious than ever before. The two monkeys gazes snapped back at the two women behind the counter. One monkey seemed amused while the other seemed to have been caught off-guard.
âYeah, so, we came here because one of my men noticed your restaurant and you were not willing to leave our turf. And we came to settle what he didnât manage to doâ, the black-furred one stated nonchalantly, his gaze lingering back onto his phone, seemingly searching for something specific.
âOh Great Sage Equal To Heaven! I beg of you! Please donât kill us!â Your boss pleaded, lowering her head and putting her hands together.
The Great Sageâs eyes then glanced back over to you, still vibing to your music and smiling at your crafty little work. You just finished another smaller fox as extra, and he couldnât help but find it absolutely adorable. He then looked back at your boss with a smirk. âYou know what? Nevermind, you get to keep your lives and your business.â
Confused, yet still frightened, your boss asked him what made him change his mind.
âSimple. You got one amazing and absolutely stunning crafty person working here. Would be a shame if anything happened to your or this business while they still work here~â, he answered as his eyes traveled back over to your corner. Your boss glanced between him and you repeatedly before laughing in what one could only describe as a mix of relief and confusion⌠or concern.
âW-Well, they are a great person, indeed! I assigned them to this task specifically because they donât want to be seen or have to talk to customers. So we- âŚhuh?â Your boss stopped, watching helplessly as The Great Sage Equal To Heaven approached your seat with his hands in his pockets. Both her and your co-worker were silently praying for your life.
You were still busy with another aluminum animal, when you suddenly felt someoneâs presence drawing closer. You finally looked up when the person was hovering over you. âUm⌠may I help you, sir?â You asked as you took off your headphones. What you didnât expect was that the person was a monkey with fancy-looking clothing. He was blushing a little but you were too confused to notice. Apparently you didnât recognize him. He saw it as mostly a blessing because he didnât want the reincarnation of his beloved to fear him. The way you were so casual towards him was what drew him into your past lifeâs relationship in the first place.
âOh, I just saw your fascinating little crafts and wanted to say you- I-I mean, they look lovely!â He stammered out nervously. You blinked at him before leaning over the table to grab a little aluminum monkey you made before. It wasnât quite as accurate as the birds youâve created, but it was still recognizable. You then held up the mini monkey in front of him with a smile.
âWould you like to have this one? Itâs not great by any means, Iâm⌠still practicing monkeys. I-I hope it doesnât look offensive, otherwise I could-â âItâs perfectâŚâ He cut you off, gently taking the animal made out of foil. He would hate himself if he accidentally damaged it in any way with his strength. His claws barely brushed over the softness of your hands, but it was enough to make him feel the tingling sensation you imprinted on him. The Great Sage then gave you a loving smile and a nod in appreciation, âThank youâŚâ
While the two of you were chatting away about your masterpieces, laughing when certain jokes were made, your boss and co-worker were baffled. They wouldnât have believed it if the scene wasnât playing out right in front of their eyes. The Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal To Haven, leader of the most feared triad, and immortal Monkey King⌠was casually talking to a practically invisible stranger without threatening them even once. Or even making them feel uncomfortable.
Were you so oblivious to the fact that you were speaking to a man who could not only kill you, but also destroy everything around you without even trying?
Well, it wasnât so much about being oblivious than it was just about being a decent person. Youâve heard of the triad, and youâve heard rumors of the infamous Monkey King. However, that doesnât mean you would necessarily have to treat him any different to any other customer since you didnât know him personally. Youâve never even seen the guy until now. And by his looks, you could easily assume it was him.
Meanwhile Macaque seemed amused by the situation. Something only he seemed to have noticed was Wukongâs tail wagging happily. Its movement wasnât fast, but it still reminded him of a dog who found its long missing owner. So he couldnât help but take a picture of the scene. It wouldnât serve so much as blackmail, but it would be enough to calm him down with a picture of you if the other simian started to go off again.
And if that wasnât enough, he took some extra pictures of specifically you being happy with Wukong.
âSo what youâre saying is that if I order food for pick-up or delivery, you would be the one packing it up?â The orange monkey asked, purposefully playing dumb.
âYeah, unless Iâm sick or have a day off. Then one of my co-workers does the packing insteadâ, you responded, pointing in the countersâ general direction. Your co-worker let out a nervous squeak before hiding behind your boss.
âGreat, so Iâll get to see your pretty face a lot more often!â Your face turned a light shade of red at his comment. Too shocked that someone, anyone, let alone The Great Sage would compliment you past your work. He gave you a grin, âItâs decided. You can expect me to order food at least once a day.â
You blinked in absolute confusion, meanwhile your co-workers were dumbfounded. âEh?â
âWell, it was nice talking to a stunning and demon-friendly person such as yourself, peaches. But I believe my visitation timeâs up for today. I hope youâre back here tomorrow though.â He winked at you at the end, making your blush darken just a bit that he could still notice.
âAnd donât worry about your business, boss ladyâ, he added as he turned towards the counter with a smirk. âSo long as your amazing artistâs working here, this restaurant is under the triadâs protection. Anyone who tries to get rid of it will have to get through me and my men first.â His eyes seemed to darken just a little as his smirk grew into something a bit more sinister. The Monkey King let out a laugh at your co-workersâ scared expressions. The dark-furred simian on the other hand huffed in amusement, showing his own fanged grin to the two women. This seemed to scare them a few steps further away from the counter he was now sitting on.
The orange-furred monkey then pulled out a pen and used a piece of unused foil before writing something down on it. He then slid it over the table towards you, placing his other hand on his hips. âHere, feel free to text or call me anytime. And by anytime, I do mean anytime. Feel free to also contact me when you feel unsafe or just want company! I really wouldnât mind showing up in person!â
To be honest, it was actually strange for Macaque to see his old friend act this weirdly. He could tell Wukong was trying to sway and seduce you. But due to how he wasnât trying to do it to manipulate you, and him havenât genuinely done this in hundreds of years, he kind of lost his touch. The shadow monkey could see him struggling as he was a nervous mess on the inside.
His tail gave away his nervous vibes the most. It kept on moving around, curling in on itself, as well as seemingly trying to hold itself back from just wrapping around you for much needed comfort. You glanced at the info written down on the piece of aluminum before gently smiling at him with a nod. âWill do, thanks! It was nice chatting with you too, Mr. Monkey King.â
âPlease, just call me Wukong. 'Misterâ just makes me feel an extra millennium older.â
âBut you are old, grandpa!â Macaque exclaimed from across the room, earning him a death glare from his ticked off boss.
âYouâre one to talk, emo dinosaur!â The King snapped back. You couldnât help but let out a small laugh at their childish insults, making the orange-furred monkey slowly turn towards you, his heartbeat seemingly increasing at the sound. He needed to hear your laugh more.
âAnyway, Iâll take this with me,â he stated as he picked up one the menus from the table, âand weâll be on our way now. See you tomorrow, peaches~â The Great Sage then rather aggressively grabbed the other amused demon by the back of his coat, casually picking him up and carrying him towards the exit, the aluminum monkey still being gently held by his other hand. âMove along Macaque, we donât have all day.â
âUntil next time, (Y/N)!â Macaque called out as he waved at you as best as he could, still being carried away like a kitten.
âŚHow did he know your name? You only told Wukong during your conversation⌠'Man, those rumors about the Six-Eared Macaque having incredible hearing must be true if he was able to hear thatâ, you thought. Little did you know that he already knew your name despite his hearing.
However, from that day on your lifeâs daily routine changed. Wukong would ask for a different order everyday, testing out everything from the menu to see if it was even worth buying more than one specific order everytime. And any food he didnât like he would give to MK to try out. His adoptive son was actually pretty fond of the restaurantâs food, to the point where he would either go eat there by himself, with friends or come eat with his dad. Most of the time the triad would only ask to grab pick-up food, but there were days where members would actually eat by the tables. You werenât sure if they only asked for pick-up as to not scare away any non-triad customers, but it did seem to invite in more people each day.
Wukong would sometimes also stay at the restaurant, specifically eating at the same table as you while you were packing up other peoplesâ orders. He started off pretty nervous during your first conversations, but he quickly became a lot more casual with you. Even his flirting attempts became a lot smoother and would easily catch you off-guard, leaving you a blushing mess everytime. Meanwhile you decided to show him how to create his own little army of aluminum animals.
It might take a while to get you to fully fall for him again, but he would do anything to be with you forever. Even if simple little animal crafts would bring you two closer step by step. Reincarnation or not, he loved you until the day he diesâŚ
Which is saying a lot in his case.

hottest man alive
Build-A-Bear except it's Guillermo Del Toro making you a Monster Boyfriend.
The cute anon ask about rengoku gave me the idea of malleus with a s/o like mitsuri! Everyone thinks he's so scary and then they just see a pretty women with pink hair running towards malleus to talk to him about his day maybe even picking him up and spinning him around cause mitsuris so physically strong! Sorry for rambling I just thought this was cute <3
This was so cute... my heart hurts
@woodrouforest
First off, Malleus is in love with you. Itâs a lot like the stories where the dragon falls in love with the beautiful princess. You are the first person who isnât scared of him, and probably one of the first women (besides his grandmother) that heâs talked to. Of course heâs in love with you.
You both are polar opposites. Malleus is intimidating and his retainers donât help, but you are the person everyone knows and loves. You are the type who would give someone your lunch because they tripped and fell and spilled their food everywhere.
You are a friend to everyone you come across, and Malleusâ intimidating aura was not enough to make you scared. Hell, you fought demons for a living, nothing scares you anymore.Â
In the eyes of everyone, you are beautiful. You are truly like a Disney princess. So imagine everyoneâs surprise when you walk up to him with a smile full of joy and ask him about his day and pick him up and spin him around because of how strong you are.
Malleus is also surprised. No one has ever been able to pick him up before, but heâs not against it. You both are nearly equal in strength, and he is glad that there is no power difference between you.
You are glad that he meets your âperfect husbandâ criteria. He is one of the top 5 most powerful mages, and in your book that exceeds your requirements. Plus, he treats you well. Malleus treats you like his queen, you have him wrapped around your fingers.
Lilia loves you both together. Malleus will go on and on about you, and Lilia is there to lend an ear. He gladly listens to his âsonâ and his lovesick rants. Sebek canât say he dislikes you: you are kind to him as well. Silver also enjoys being able to nap on your lap.Â
However, your dragon prince gets jealous whenever your attention is off of him. Or when you spend time with someone else. Your attention should only be reserved for him, dang it! >:(
As for your abilities as a Hashira, Malleus is impressed. You arenât a damsel in distress: you are the one rescuing the damsel. You are a very talented swordswoman and you have superhuman âpowersâ. He will gladly let you train at the dorm, and will even spar against you.
they would have been besties and she would have slayed in this scene đđ
