"The Monkey King named the four senior apes as his four Stalwart Generals: he named the two bare-bottomed apes Marshal Ma and Marshal Liu, and called the two gibbons General Beng and General Ba."
~~~~~~~
My take on the Four Stalwart Generals! I did take immense liberties with their appearances in an effort to give them distinct looks and personalities.
included are their individual portraits:
This feels like something I want to read, but I don't have a archive account and I don't know if I am allowed to have an account and just lurk.
I do write, but it is nothing as amazing as what is on archive of our own.
Here’s a VERY unfinished comic from the amazing fic Monkey King's Guide to Physical Contact by @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off . I lost steam on it a little while back so it never got finished, but thanks so much to the incredible @lavaflowe for all the constructive criticism and lettin me dump ideas on ya! This Monkey Has Problems
Oh my gods I love this and want more.
This is a little snippet of something I’m working on for @the-final-sif‘s Convict Childcare au, with some differences in that my Dream is a white Enderman hybrid. The basic premise of the au is that c!Sam accidentally kills c!Ranboo while arresting him, and kidnaps Michael for leverage. Panicked, he takes c!Dream and Michael and holds them both in a new prison far away. Dream and Michael grow very close, and are eventually rescued by other members of the server. This drabble takes place a couple months after rescue.
Today must be a bad day, was the first thought that ran through Ponk’s head when Dream all but sauntered into the office. It had been a while since Dream had felt the need to pull on the proud, untouchable facade. The scowling, flinty-eyed Michael that was clinging close enough to Dream as to be almost tripping over his heels only further proved his theory. Through the doorway he locked eyes with Technoblade who had, as usual, escorted Dream to his appointment. The piglin gave a thumbs up and a grimace before shutting the door with a click.
That boded well.
With the mask on, Ponk couldn’t see Dream’s expressions, but over the two months of near-daily visits, he liked to think that he had a pretty good read on the man’s emotional state through his body language. It was sometimes subtle, but there was always at least one tell that gave him away. He gave the Enderman hybrid a quick once over, running through his mental checklist; tail, low and relaxed; ears, perked; right hand, snugly wrapped around Michael’s; left hand— ah, there it was. Stuffed into a pocket, but Ponk could see the fabric shift with the arrhythmic flexing of a fist. Too mild to be anger— perhaps frustration, or impatience. Perhaps pain.

Not mine,
But I find this as basically a great final picture to represent the manhunts.

This is both amazing and cool! After all, sharks are the best.
After quite a while, I finally managed to adapt these fun shark anatomy illustrations to Redbubble products! Many asked me to make posters or art prints available for sale and it is now possible in my little store! This is my store’s profile! ✨ www.redbubble.com/people/Requinoesis/explore
I tried to adapt these arts to other products, but I think they were very ugly, so focus on looking for poster, art print or stickers options! I hope you like it and that the price offered by Redbubble is affordable!
In the future I want to make other species of sharks! Thanks a lot for all support! ✨ If you want to follow me on instagram, this is: @AstralRequin Edit: I am very glad with the support of all of you! I really appreciate the sweet comments and tags, especially from those who said that my art helped to reduce their fears about sharks, I hope to always inspire people in that way! Thanks a lot! ✨
while a lot of what I draw is Undertale, I do have other franchises I find interesting to draw from, one of them being Splatoon. So one day I decided it would be a fun idea to draw my version of Agent 3 and agent 8.
While I know that in the official trailer cannon, from what I can tell, Agent 3 is generally considered to be a girl Inkling, I was introduced to this Agent though by Chuggaaconroy, a Nintendo game youtuber, and he showed me Agent 3′s journey as a male inkling. Because of this I personally like to think, thanks to Chugga, that Agent 3 is a somewhat serious, calm, as well as caring and helpful Inkling who is also a slightly forgetful. I imagine he works his hardest to master all the weapons he can as well as push himself as far as he can in anything he does meaning that until he gets it done to his standards he won't stop trying to get it done right or at least that is how I see him. I also think he would stare at something he can't explain or figure out for a while just to solve the dilemma.
Agent 8 though I was introduced to as the Female, witch is cannon, when I think of her though my mind falls to Viantastic’s Bridget. An Agent that is serious but has some quirks that make her seem very childish. Even still is very smart and strong and survived through all the disasters that have and will continue to come her way.
Well, this is cool.
Finally caving in and posting this comic after leaving it to rot in my gallery. Drew this throughout the semester and it was mainly for practice drawing comic pages so that’s why there’s such a big style change. It’s cringy I know lol but it’s just supposed to be a cute little sonadow beach comic cause why not.
Maybe more parts in the future? (I already have some pages drawn….)
... Their idiots aren't they.
Last meme I swear XD
Error and Inky be busy uwu
I completely agree with this, and it is't just a thing in the LMK universe. It was also somewhat of a thing in the original Journey to the West.
Wukong always worked to deal with a problem in a way to make sure it would not cause more problems to himself, his group, or the wider world in the future. Problem though? Others didn't like the way Wukong dealt with things or just pain undervalued Wukong and wanted to shove him in a corner out of the way.
(I'll be using OSP as a show of this)
First off Wukong was actually not trying to cause the wider world problems in the beginning, he was a new born creature that caused an oops because hey he was a new born and then became leader of his (her? I ask this because I've heard the type of monkey used as the basis for the monkeys of Wukong's home have a matriarchy) tribe. And after having an existential crisis (which you have to admit everyone has!) Wukong decided to go out into the world to make himself stronger, introduce himself, and Including getting immortality. Yes he is a show off, but what person doesn't't somewhat want to show of their powers in someway! Then for some reason people start messing with his tribe! Of course the guy is going to deal with the people messing with his tribe! And instead of just stopping the immediate problem wukong does 2 things, preps his people for the future by teaching them to fight and preps himself for the future by getting proper armor and weapons. Also, the dragons offer Wukong weapons when he goes to him. The problem was none of them fit his style of fighting and he eventually chose a polar because that fit his fighting style the best. The Dragon's we're only scared of Wukong after Wukong proved to be stronger then them. And they offer him things to get them on his good side and out of their property. And then he accidently scares other Damon's with his powers in his excitement. To which makes them want to get on Wukong's good side. Wukong properly planed for future problems in this case and unintentionally showed the demons why they should be scared of him.
Then what happens? The bloody Diern decides Wukongs immortality doesn't count basically and tries to steal him away to death. Can you blame the guy for fighting them and basically erasing himself from their book when that should of already been done? Erasing his people came as apart of his punishment to the Diern for messing with him when he we doing nothing wrong.
He only became a "problem" to heaven for 3 reasons (one of which comes later). Messing up the Diern (for a very good reason), unintentionally messing with the gods, and deciding to call himself "the great sage equal to heaven". So what do they do? They try and control what could be called a force of nature or carma. They do so by placing him in one position that is a waste of his talents (being a stable master), is of extremely low rank, and would clearly leave him board and unsatisfied long term. To which he retaliated, because he wanted a position befiting of his skill and calls himself the great sage equal to heaven to show them he is their equal. The gods in heaven could have taken it as a joke or reversed it to say Wukong though of them as his equals, in other words as strong fighters and rulers. But no, they thought of it as an insult to them and lead to many a fight! The second position they put him in, while more befiting, had a major problem. One you are leaving the monkey alone with their food source. Of course he was going to eat them! Wukong would be right to be mad. Plus the guy doesn't know anything about how heaven works so of course he is going to unintentionally mess up it's flow! It is't like they explained anything to him! And they did not even invite him to the festival! Maybe they had done so they could have kept an eye on him and kept him from causing more trouble!
And once he realizes, he goofed? He left heaven not to cause more trouble, because he knows he is impulsive enough to generate more. What to they do when they know Wukong caused the problem and is strong enough to beat up their people and cause havoc? They bloody go after him! Provoking Wukong into a fighting rage! If they had left it alone Wukong would have probably stayed out of the way!
Another thing that people seem to forget was that Sun Wukong wasn't the main character of the Journy to the West, or at least he wasn't meant to be. Tripitaka was meant to be the main character. Yet somehow the book always follows the Monkey kings antics.
"every major baddie problem in the lmk universe is caused by SWK not dealing with his shit properly"
expect he dealt with all the shit and i'm tired of people ignoring it to paint him as an ignorant, uncaring bastard.
(very very minor s4 spoilers, so the cut)
Demon Bull King? Got his ass whooped and was sealed away for however long years it took for an entire ass megapolis to be built literally on top of him, causing absolutely no trouble to anyone whatsoever. Oh, and what sealed DBK? The staff. And if you'd care to know SWK outside of the LEGOverse, you'd realize how strong was SWK's resolve to seal DBK - keep him relatively safe, one might say - by using his trusty staff. The guy would literally die seven times over than let go of this thing.
Also people like, ignore the fact that canonically SWK stuck around the area (for the most part to stalk MK, but still), so he was literally there to deal with the DBK family if something went southwards? He didn't, because MK was able to hold the staff and the legend of the Monkie Kid then began.
(also zero antagonistic feelings towards DBK from SWK, like, whatsoever. i bet the dude actually wanted DBK to be free, cuz he felt bad abt it)
Macaque? In a morally gray manner, still very dealt with. SWK killed the dude. He was literally as dealt with as it can be. Or what, should SWK have predicted that after thousand upon thousand of years later a spirit (he dealt with too) would pull Mac out of Diyu? Yeah, I'd like to see that thought process.
SWK isn't omnipotent, he isn't even that far-thinking. Never was, actually. So holding that against him is like, very stupid. Especially because you don't do it to any other character in the show.
Spider Queen? Wouldja look at that, also pretty much dealt with. We don't really know how exactly, but we know that she lost literally every ounce of power she had and had to resort to living in the sewers, prolly never to cause troubles ever again because, well, we never even heard of her until the special. SQ was pulled onto the scene by the Lady Bone Demon.
Which is, again, something SWK couldn't predict even if he tried.
And now into the fun part.
Lady Bone Demon? Was sealed away by Tripitaka and also didn't cause any trouble until DBK decided to use this freaky coffin he knew literally zero things about for his plans.
"But he should've killed LBD!!!"
He tried. Believe him he tried. This decision just wasn't his, and if you hold it against him and not Tripitaka, shame on you.
"He should have told the crew about LBD!"
He really couldn't have.
And people thinking that are blatantly ignoring SWK's character. Not that obnoxious fan favorite uncaring bastard one.
SWK deals with things on his own. That is just how he is, how he always was and he never learned to do it the other way around. If that's a fight, he'll do it, because he's damn strong. If it's to scout the mountain, he'll do it, because Bajie is a lazy ass motherfucker. If it's to find food for Trip, he'll do it, cuz he's fast and his eyes are awesome.
Same applies here.
LBD? Tried to kill her and Trip didn't let me -> Basically I didn't do the job right -> WTF I always do my job right, I am Sun Wukong hello???
It was, dare I say, a question to his pride, and SWK will forever be prideful. And when he acts on his pride, he does it with style and flare, in the most stupid way possible.
Hence all of the s2 off-screen investigation arc.
"Well, he should've told about the Samadhi rings!"
It would've endangered Mei, questioned his at this point in time very shaky authority and ability to handle shit, and prolly would've fucked Mei up a very whole lot.
You don't go and say to a person that they are a part of the most dangerous seal in the world and could die and destroy everything they love because you fucked up long time ago (again, very much jabbing at his mentality of 'Sun Wukong can do no bad job, and if he does he'll better fucking die trying to make it right').
Was his plan a shitty one? Obviously. Like, no question asked, it was a shit show of a plan. Very in character, though (SWK handles all the shit because he thinks he can).
And this little character arc of SWK not learning a damn thing results in him, oh golly you would not believe it, running off to do things on his own because he thinks he can handle it, because he's THE Sun Wukong who already handled this in the past.
Who woulda thought.
MINOR S4 SPOILERS HERE
And the new addition to the baddie group, Azure Lion. Won't be addressing all 'SWK is a betraying bitch' because the show refuses to give us SWK's perspective and I hate it.
But you already know what I will say, because you know the truth. He was dealt with. Got his ass whooped and sealed away in the inky scroll. To be pulled back onto the scene by a third party that Wukong literally couldn't have known about.
See a pattern?
SWK deals with the shit, some unknown variable meddles in it, suddenly SWK is an incapable asshole who left the problems for the poor lmk crew to deal with.
Wukong did his job. Someone fucked him over by undoing his job. He tried to deal with it again the only way he knows how, but the solo play doesn't fly anymore, so he made it kinda worse.
He's not an unbearable, incapable asshole because of it.
And I'm tired of people not seeing this.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, I am Sun Wukong Apologist till the day I die.
Have a nice day!
... I need to try this!
This is the only tiktok you'll ever need, I've made about 13 of these and I'm not stopping anytime soon
Good fic
finally. the long shadowpeach pride month fic. i honestly cant believe i managed to finish this on time.
anyways. welcome to the post s3 special fic where Wukong drags Macaque into helping him with his glamours. Oh, and also a few other things happen, but they’re not important. Probably.
TW: Panic Attacks, talk of scars and injuries
Word Count: 13.4k
Read on AO3
Macaque woke up that morning to the dawn shining through his curtains, the sounds of the city starting to wake up, the birds calling out the song of the day, and the horrifying realization that Sun Wukong was climbing in through his window.
“Oh good, you’re up.” Wukong said, casually, like he wasn’t literally breaking and entering into Macaque’s bedroom. “If you weren’t I was going to have to throw you into a nearby mountain. Saves me the energy I guess.”
