Shadow's Realm AU (Shadowpeach)
Wukong concept
After Wukong killed Macaque's vessel (Of which he will not know it to be a vessel until much later in the future) during his journery , he fell into depression and on one night of tentative meditation to avoid nightmares of him killing Macaque he accidentally traveled over to the Shadow's realm with an "astral vessel" (like Astral protection but being able to interact with things) and found Macaque , believing it to be an hallucination Wukong indulged in the fantasy of being with Macaque again. Later on , after more visits to the Shadow's Realm each night and after finding a monkey cub in the Shadow's Realm , he will convince Macaque to adopt the cub and get married still believing it to be one of his fantasies until MK snaps him out of it and makes him realize that everything is real.
His Astral vessel is like a brighter version of himself , basically like a shadow clone but glowing in gold and therefore blending with the other realm's residents perfectly.
How MK met Rumble and Savage in my Twin shadows Au
MK:Hey Mac-*notices two unknown monkeys in Mac's dojo* uh- who are you?
Rumble: I'm Rumble
Savage: and I'm Savage
MK: ok cool did you see another monkey around here? he's black like you just taller and broodier
Twins:Yes
MK: cool where is he?
Rumble: you're seeing him dumbass
MK:*sweats* what do you mean? I don't see him- and I'm not a dumbass
Savage: yes you are kid
MK: That's mean , you shouldn't call someone dumb without a reason , also where are your parents? it's obvious Macaque isn't here and I can't just leave you here alone
Rumble: never had any
MK:*flinches* sorry- okay then I will take you with me to Pigsy until I figure out what to do with you two
Savage: can we get noodles?
MK: I can ask Pigsy but I think you'll be fine
Rumble: then what are you waiting for? lead the way
MK:sheesh rude much?
Savage: let's go go go Go!
Me:*working on art about my Shadow's Realm AU*
Computer:*low battery alert*
Me:"What? But the charger is on"
Computer:*powers off soon after*
Me:"Noo come on"*powers it back on*
Computer:*powers on*
Me:*goes back to work* "huh?!"
My digital pen:*stops working correctly*
Me:*sigh*"okay let's try this"*closes and opens the drawing program*
Me:*Tries again to draw*
Drawing program:*works weirdly*
Me:"Okay that's it!! I'm powering it off , maybe it doesn't work because of the low battery"*leaves computer to charge*
Ask: "In that context. The clone could have been the one to kill Mac in the past. Does wukong gain information from his clones like in Naruto? or do they just gain their own personality like porty mk"
Answer to @sasunaru22fy about my previous post
Wukong's clones have all the memories of the og! Wukong up until being summoned then the clones make their own memories , the og! Wukong has no way of gaining the clones memories and usually just orders them to tell him everything but even then the more troublesome clones can lie so og!Wukong is careful about summoning his least troublesome clones for information gathering and protection
Macaque was one of them and the first to became a full time existing being
If you're implying that the second Wukong(the clone) technically killed Mac and should have the same opinion of him as og! Wukong because they have the same memories then it's partly true but not really
The clone could also be said to technically haven't killed Mac because he didn't phisically did it , it was og! Wukong, and clones gain their own personality and opinions , like Mac , so they have a different view on the events
If you're implying that a clone was the one to originally kill Mac then no , it was og! Wukong , the only full time clone at the time was Mac
The second Wukong came to be only because Wukong got lazy after sealing Dbk and training Mk so accidentaly using the same clone multiple times made him a full time clone
Clones can become full time beings only if you leave them summoned for a long time and/or often until they can get enough strenght to exist on their own and will be harder to poof and then they will not poof at all and you will have to unlive them to get rid of them
Snow Macaque AU
I suddenly had this idea for a lmk Au
Basically it starts when Macaque is in diyu and the lady bone demon appears to make a deal with him
But Mac is too weak and delirious from the diyu cleaning his soul to understand a thing
Then Mac tries to gain some clarity and strenght by absorbing the spirit of Lbd to boost himself
Mac had successfully absorbed Lbd because she was already too weak from being sealed away to survive being absorbed
Mac gained clarity and understood what he did and what absorbing Lbd did to him
Because of Lbd's powers he changed both in appearance and powerwise (I will draw how he looks after I return back home from vacantion)
His fur became a snow white and his eyes became a scarlet color with the white of the eyes being golden , his sight was restored but the scar on his face remained , it seems that Ldb's clairvoyance powers made him gain six colourful ears to hear the past , present and future and lastly he gained ice and necromancy powers(he basically gained some immortality as he can just revive himself and because Lbd was a former celestial)he used necromancy to return to the mortal realm
After coming back to life he got attacked by the not-mayor for killing his lady but Mac was much stronger than him and let his shadows consume the not-mayor
Macaque wanders a snowy mountain with his shadow lantern in hand still not knowing what to do with himself yet after reviving
The villagers in the area will see Mac and start a rumour of an Ice king living on the mountain
The rumours will attract the bull family for an alliance and will be surprised of who the ice king really was but will then maintain a good relationship with each other
Mac doesn't want to see Wukong so the bull family makes sure nobody knows of Mac being alive but that will later be in vain by meeting MK and therefore Wukong later on
Before Mac died he and Wukong were best friends without any romantic feelings for each other (*cough*they're*cough* both *cough*dense*cough* jeez what a coughing fit) then after their fight they became enemies , and will still be at the start of their first meeting after Mac revived , they will remain somewhat civil for MK but then Wukong will fall in love with Mac and will have to try to court the oblivious Macaque
Feral Macaque AU
I had another idea for a lmk au
When they were young Macaque was good hearted while Wukong was kinda the bad one
Wukong was only nice to the monkeys and who he considered his friends and didn't have problems with being cruel or murderous to those who weren't and that pissed him off (which was easy to do)
Macaque was the most soft hearted of the two , he might not put his trust blindly to strangers like a naive fool but he isn't heartless or uncaring to people in need that deserved help
And that's the exact reason Macaque was a target for bullying , mockery and insults by the other demons
Even with Wukong's protection it only gave the others another reason to consider him weak
Wukong was Macaque's only friend and that's why Mac was so scared of losing him but eventually they fought while Wukong was trapped under the mountain sealed by Buddha and Macaque was very emotionally hurt
When Wukong joined the journery to the west Macaque got worried and thought about saving him despite still being somewhat hurt and mad at Wukong but it lead to his death instead
Macaque was furious , Wukong was the bad one , the one killing and doing whatever he wanted but got a chance to be better while he died mistaken to be a bloodthirsty monster out for the monk's blood
Macaque decided , if they thought of him as monster then he will gave them a monster
Then Lbd came and resurrected him but didn't know much of the "monster" she was dealing with
Macaque has gone feral and Lbd had to take precautions to use him
She caged him and leashed him but he would still not obey her , trying to escape and causing a rampage destroying and killing her servants with bare hands
She then used the monkey's insticts to gave him a reason to somewhat stay put for a while so she gave him Rumble and Savage to protect and care for and as a reason to obey her orders if he doesn't want them to get hurt
Eventually Mk strumbled across them and freed them and would later struggle to help and befriend three feral monkeys and try to avoid them going out for a rampage
Wukong gets involved to keep them on flower fruit mountain so they don't kill anyone and he has to try to reason with Macaque for him to return civil and maybe reconcile (by MK's request)
Shadowpeach can be platonic , romantic or simply friendship
Ooh! If your still doing the Feral Monkies AU I have a question:
What if ther ferals though some multi-dimensional magic stuff found an AU where Wukong is kind of a shithead and overworks MK during training, or an AU where MK is constantly exhausted from all of the demons/big bars he faces essentially everyday?
Would they see diffrent versions of MK like their MK or would they treat diffrent MKs diffrent?
Don't worry I'm still doing my Aus but it's a slow work because of life stuff but I absolutely don't mind being asked questions
Alternative universe stuff is a bit complex , in the Ferals Au they get attached with Mk because he basically freed them (and Mk effort for them to like him) and he had something in him that made the Ferals instincts consider him a cub and adopt him
But in an alternative universe the AltMk might not have that something for them to consider him a cub or the altMk might act in a way that triggers them
If they saw the kind of universe you talk about after they already consider their Mk part of their tribe they would kidnap the AltMk to protect him and violently harm the others , but just because AltMk looked like theirs (if it was someone else or AltMk looked or acted really different from their Mk then they wouldn't really care)
If they saw that kind of universe in the first stages of the Ferals and MK relationship then they wouldn't do anything , because at the start yes they consider him a cub but they took care of him from gratefulness from feeing them and monkey 's instincts and still has to reach the stage of consider Mk part of their tribe so Mk was still an outsider in their eyes
Shadow's Realm AU (Shadowpeach)
MK concept
Guayin discovered what was happening from a drunk and depressed Wukong and made a plan to reunite the two monkeys , she created MK and gave him two bodies , one in the shadow's realm and the other in the mortal realm , so he could switch between the two worlds. The events of the lmk serie goes mostly the same but when MK goes to sleep in the mortal realm he's awake in the Shadow's world and is the adopted son of Macaque and the astral vessel of Wukong , MK will understand the situation and what to do after growing up
(Wukong doesn't know MK is his son because in the Shadow's realm he looks like another primate , Macaque doesn't know either because he doesn't look at the mortal realm anymore so he doesn't suspect Wukong's sucessor and their kid to be the same person , MK also goes by another name in the shadow's world given by Wukong and Macaque)
The MK of the mortal realm is adopted by Pigsy and Tang , the rest of the cast acts the same
It's a running joke that MK thought that his parents were the monkey king and the six eared macaque when he was young , not knowing it was the truth and thinking he was simply a fan even when they find strange for one of the parents to be the dead Macaque , MK eventually gave up convincing them until he found his father Wukong in this realm
Later when Wukong still doesn't know that Macaque and him are real and not him hallucinating MK try to make him see the truth. ( All between the events of the serie)
When Wukong and Macaque finally talk the three of them will be a family of three , for real this time , and Macaque will create another vessel so the three can live some days in the mortal realm and others in the shadow's realm.
MK: Monkey King!!!
Wukong:*startles* uh-wha Ah Hi buddy what do you need?
MK:*sweats* (How do I tell him!?)
MK: uh- so Erlang Shen , Guanyin and Macaque are together in a room
Wukong:*raises brow* is this a joke bud?
MK:...no? no it's not
Wukong:*already speeding through the horizont*
Wukong:*bursts door open* NOBODY KILLS ANYBODY-*trails off seeing the scene in front of him*
Erlang , Guanyin and Macaque:*laughing and playing poker like centuries old friends*
Wukong:*blinks* is this...a nightmare? am I hallucinating?
Macaque and Wukong designs for the Shadow's Realm AU
Today I suddenly had the inspiration for the final designs for Macaque and Wukong of my Shadow's Realm AU and I'm glad because I really like them
For Macaque , other than the fact I like immagining him as a colourful pretty boy , it would make sense for him to have colourful clothes and long bright fur because of his origins as it's explained on the world's Au concept , and I like to think of him as younger and shorter than Wukong in the AU
Younger because , in the AU , Wukong was born first and shorter because Macaque had to steal to eat so he didn't have enough food to grow properly most of the time
For Wukong he may look chill but after Macaque's death he became an alcoholic and couldn't stay a day without drowing his sorrows away when nobody was looking , that's way I imagine him always with a bottle of alcol with him
Question for the feral monkies au:
How would the ferals react if they see MK in an overworked/exhausted state?
Sorry for the late reply I'm currently on vacantion somewhere away from home and the Wi-Fi is terrible here
Anyway if the Ferals feel that one of their own is distressed/tired in anyway they:
Have really aggressive reactions to everyone and everything that tries to disturb or take away MK from resting in any way or form , if someone pushes their luck they will get dismembered by Mac , Mac doesn't have much tolerance or pantience and if MK is too tired to phisically stop him from murder then it's goodbye for that person
The Ferals also take MK to be cuddled and comforted in their nest and MK will not be able to leave their side until they feel that MK is okay and rested , or until MK is awake enough to try and escape their iron grip
Hi I'm Floret (She/Her) and here I will post my drawings and write about fandoms I like or random things
