You know that feeling when you find an absolute gem of a fic, so good that in your mind it's actual canon content...so good you have dreams about it and even after *years* it's ever-present at the back of your mind. But when you go looking for it, it's GONE?! Sending you spiraling for several weeks as you desperately scour the web for it. And after several weeks and cryptic dreams about the plot, you feel as if you might be slowly loosing it.
Well, that's my current situation. I'm getting desperate- so desperate that I'm on tumblr.com begging for help(not desperate enough to log into reddit tho). Please tell me I'm not crazy and I didn't dream up one of the best fics I've ever read.
The fic was a Lego Monkie Kid fic centered around Bai He (aka LBD's host) after the events of season three. Itwassowellwrittengodineeditnow.
From what I remember:
Shadowpeach was the main romantic(kinda) relationship mentioned although from the few chapters I read it focuses more on the platonic relationships at the beginning. Also PIF and DBK were briefly implied to be in a poly relationship with an original female character which was cool.
The description was something along the lines of: "Bai He is just trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the Lady Bone Demon is gone. Luckily, she has the help of MK and the others... something something- Wukong noticed the shadows of the male primate circling the island but never having the courage to come closer.." Or something like that.
Bai He my emotionally repressed princess/affectionate. You could tell the author wrote her character with a lot of love. She was an orphan who had been in the care of an orphanage in France(I believe) before she became a street kid in China. There was also this underlying subtext that her time spent in France was during the 90s(the lore bro, the *lore*). Bai He's disconnect between her ethnic background compared to the rest of the gang made her interactions with the main cast really unique.
Lady Bone Demon's relationship with Bai He was portrayed as almost like an abusive/manipulative parent that you can't seem to completely hate because they're your parent and they're doing what they think is the best for you. Chiefs kiss.
Any fic that mentions the nuances of LBD and MK's dynamic instead of watering down her character to that vile evil Witch who wanted to destroy the world>>>>>>
The subtle world building πpeakπ. The story literally began outside the city where the residents were evacuated. This included the main gang who'd basically already taken Bai He in. There were passing mentions of other mythological pantheons. Plus references to the JTTW.(the author mentioned something about Wukong having descendants which was mind-boggling to me- ik it's inaccurate but whatever.)
Monkey King basically got custody of Bai He and he took her to Flower Fruit Mountain to watch over her condition.
The author detailed Bai He's struggles with her past and her present situation as she was no longer fully human.
Nahza(my goat) was there, living up to his role as protector of children.
The closest fic I've found is 'A Bone to Pick' by SmilesThroughFandoms but the vibe is off. It isn't the same.
It was incomplete with more than 20 000 words and posted somewhere between late 2022/23.(this was the general time frame I read the fic before loosing it. In my defense I (a) didn't have an ao3 account at the time and (b) I was reading it in incognito modeπ€‘)
If anyone has any information about it please please please please please tell me.
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
Thinking about the theories of a bit ago , about Macaque's possible origin being one of Wukong's clones gained freedom of existing full-time , and then I thought:
If it happened with Macaque one time then what about a second one(this time on accident)?
But this time the clone's personality and appearance is closer to the og!wukong , meaning he's a bit of an asshole but nicer than the original and we see how the others react at suddenly having a second Wukong they can't get rid of
The others are kinda unintentionally mean at first , because they don't really consider clones as people for obvious reasons , so they try to get rid of the clone at first and the clone takes it personal because he's just existing and everyone is trying to unlive him
And ironically the clone is closest with Macaque because the clone doesn't have the same problems and grudges that og!Wukong has with Mac and the same works for Mac's opinion of the clone so he's the only one not trying to get rid of the clone
And og!Wukong gets jealous in the background , he will be like the jealous ex because the clone will do anything to woo Mac
If the clone succeds or not is up to personal preference
The same idea can work with Mk instead
P.s: "I entered university so I will not be able to post much"
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
Cosmos Monkeys AU
Prologue
I was the first one to come into existence , ironically being born from a star dying
I never noticed how lonely I was , maybe because I didn't know how it felt to not be alone from the start
I just spend my days between the stars and did nothing at all
It may be boring for someone else but it was all I ever knew to do
Floating around and looking at galaxies were the only thing I could think of to pass the time in the immense nothingness of space
Until one day I strumbled upon your birth , it was as beautiful as it was dangerous , I already thought of you as such even before knowing you were coming into existence like me
When I realized who came out of the bursting of the supernova I was left spechless a second time
Your radiance made me forget everything before you and I couldn't help but getting closer to you
I will never forget our first meeting
______________________________________
The first time I opened my eyes it was also the first time I saw you
At the time I thought we were family seeing as you were there when I was born , but you said we weren't really related because being born from the galaxies are unique
I didn't really understand it but we looked to be the same so I stuck around you , I was afraid to live alone in such a vast place and it seemed you didn't like it either
I wanted to see you laugh so I played games with you , you looked so confused and excited every time I came up with a new one , it was amusing to see
Eventually I wanted to see what else I could do other than coming up with games so I started experimenting with myself , I thought there was no way it was all I could do when my existence is special itself
You supported me and only looked troubled at the thought of me hurting and your caring brought me joy
But my efforts weren't in vain , I eventually discovered powers so strong to destroy a sun , you followed in my steps wanting to be by my side in everything and I couldn't have been more grateful for your loyalty
I thought we would be together forever but there's a first time for everything
______________________________________
They took my sun away , these beings that called themselves gods took my sun away from me
They feared us , feared our power but we never did anything to them
They captured us and let me watch as they killed my sun before my eyes and then killed me too
I used all my remaining strenght to lay next to my sun , I wanted my last moment to be with him and thinking only of him
My hatred and desire for revenge against the gods was only a passing thought compared to the feeling of wanting my sun to be my only focus for foverer and more
And with a last look at my other half my eyes closed as my last strenghts left me
Cosmos Monkeys AU (if the name is already used then I'm sorry I don't remember if anyone else used this)
I saw some Aus , about Macaque and Wukong being the phisical and literal representation of the Sun and the Moon as celestial bodies made monkeys living in the cosmos or space kingdom (or gods that control the sun and moon)
And it gave me an idea for a story
Macaque and Wukong are monkeys born from the cosmos
Wukong from a supernova and Macaque from a dying star on the verge of becoming a blackhole
Macaque and Wukong were the only monkeys living in space and therefore became childhood friends , over the years they became more powerful and more intimate with each other
Heaven feared them so they killed them but the two reincarnated as Wukong and Macaque in the mortal realm
Heaven eventually noticed this fact when Wukong started messing with them so they tried to eliminate them again but it only resulted in kinda leashing Wukong and losing sight of Macaque , but seeing as the two monkeys fought , Heaven wasn't worried about their closeness giving them more strenght and could kill Macaque without Wukong even noticing , even making Macaque think it was Wukong's fault in case he somehow escaped the underworld
Macaque got the memories of his previous life in the underworld because of the circle of reincarnation or lady bone demon gave them to him and became even more resentful to Wukong about their broken relationship because it could have been as close as the one in their past life but he ruined that chance
Then Lbd revived him and the event of the lmk serie goes on kinda like normal plus a shadowpeach reconciliation to friends (later more)
In Shadow's play when Macaque says the Hero and the Warrior are like the sun and moon it has more meaning then MK could immagine
Then there is the fact that while Macaque remembers their past life , Wukong still doesn't , so when Macaque gets hit by nostalgia or does an habit or an action he used to do from his past life Wukong is oblivious , clueless or find the new habits strange and Macaque has to live with the fact that his past life lover doesn't remember him and is probably no more because now there is only Sun Wukong
I don't know if the ending should be Macaque learning to live with there only being Wukong and learn to love him as well
or
Wukong discovering about Macaque's memories and trying to get his past life memories as well with two different versions were in one he succeeds and the other fails and Macaque accepts him as he is even without memories
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
Macaque Monkey AU Shitpost of ch 1
Macaque:*Tired of everyone's bullshit*
Macaque:*shapeshifts into a normal monkey*
Wukong:*passing by with his recently stol-borrowed staff*
Wukong:*hears a noise and goes to check it out*
Wukong:*notices Macaque**gasps in delight*
Wukong:"Hello you little cutie , where were you all my life , how couldn't I notice such an adorable monkey like you before?" *picks Mac up*
Macaque:*Struggles to break free* *chirps in protest because he's a normal monkey now*
Wukong:"You sound even cuter , I'm taking you with me , I'm sure you will like my kingdom and will get along well with my subjects" *Flies on his cloud with Mac to Flower Fruit Mountain*
Macaque:*slumps tiredly in Wukong's arms momentarily accepting defeat and chirping in dismay*
Macaque Monkey AU
In this Au Macaque "looks" like a normal non-demon/spirit monkey
Before Macaque and Wukong met , Macaque lived quietly by himself in the jungles but after Wukong started causing problems the demons and celestial alike came to challenge Wukong , Macaque life wasn't so quiet anymore and the worse part was that demons/celestial that knew him for his abilities asked for his help too many times and the ones that didn't know him mistook him for Wukong and attacked him
So to avoid this problem Macaque shapeshifted into a normal macaque monkey and hid his ears behind glamours , only Buddha would know he was in reality a celestial primate
Macaque thought that with this he could return to his quiet life but he didn't account for a Monkey king with a new acquired staff to spot him in their way back to their kingdom and catch interest in them and manhandle him to take him to said kingdom
Despite Macaque looking like a normal monkey and Wukong being none the wiser of his disguise , the monkey king was absolutely in love (at first not romantically but will be later on) with him
Wukong named him and took him everywhere , Macaque is the favorite of the king and soon everyone knew about it , Wukong even erased Macaque's name from the book of death , and fed some immortality peaches , immortal wine and pills of immortality to an oblivious Macaque so they could stay together forever
Macaque at first was annoyed at being kidnapped but later found he quite enjoyed being pampered by the king and pranking/leaving shocked others by doing things normal monkeys couldn't do with his powers (Wukong would get stunned and fall unknowingly deeper in love every time)
Wukong will think Macaque is a normal monkey for a long time (I still don't know when he should find out Macaque is like him but it will happen eventually)
Shadow's Realm AU
Prologue
Macaque always thought his birth was a rather lonely one
He appeared alone in a strange dark world , he didn't have any family members or primates like him near ...if there were at all
After all when he got a bit older and started to search for someone that could be part of his family , or at least someone of the same species , there was nobody
He was the only one , he was born in a dangerous place without anybody to protect him , care for him and teach him things like how to eat or what to do in case of danger
He had to learn all of that on his own ...it was a bit depressing for a child to grow up like that
He traveled place to place , found some villages , learned a few things like speech or walking on two legs looking at the demons on the street...not that he was entirely successful seeing as he's to used to go on four to break the habit anytime soon and his speech was at a baby's level of skill
He stole food from the merchants when he was hungry and stole clothes to mimic some fancy demon he saw walking and buying around the shops
Sometimes someone would see him but he was quick to jump in the shadows to hide or run away , a power he learned about one time when he randomly tripped and fell into a shadow
It was okay but it was still lonely , he didn't have any friends , even if he settled down in a village he was still a thief and kids his age tended to avoid him , either because their parents told them to or because of some bad rumors about him
His travels seemed like an hobby at that point but deep down he still hoped he could find someone to call family or even a friend
His wish was granted but in a very strange way , the world he lived had some random bright places , they looked like strange gold mirrors , he usually never got close to them because the demons in the village thought of them as dangerous but he run out of places to explore long ago so he gave them a shot
What he found , when looking in the mirrors , was another place , completely different from where he lived , it was so bright and interesting , it wasn't like anything he saw before , with his curiousity picked he tried to find a way to go to that place
He failed , many times , because he didn't know how so he settled to observe from the mirrors in hopes something interesting would happen
He wasn't disappointed , different mirrors showed different areas of that place
He saw a kingdom on the clouds , forests and jungles , different animals and beasts , demons so dull and harsh looking compared from the ones of his world
He looked and looked and looked around
After a while of doing the same thing for days and days , time passed until the day arrived for Sun Wukong to be born in the world
Macaque found Wukong coming out of a rock funny , as well as his personality but most of all he was delighted to find he wasn't the only one anymore , how couldn't he think of this before!? If he was the only one of his world maybe there would be another in the other
In his excitement he run between the mirrors trying not to lose the other monkey , Macaque really wanted to meet him but he still couldn't find a way for it
So he watched the other as the years passed , and one day when Sun Wukong was learning about his world and the Shadow's realm , the world Macaque lived in , by his master , Macaque got an idea
He understood how and why their worlds were divided like this , the how was because of a seal from Buddha , but if Wukong's master was right when they explained various kind of seals in one of their lessons , then there could be a way to go around it
If Macaque couldn't go personally then he needed a way to go over without his phisical body , another idea came when Wukong was learning about clones and astal projection
If Macaque could do something similar then maybe it could work , so he trained and focused his powers to create something , anything that could help him reach his goal
He tried to manipulate the shadows to create a shadow clone , one without sentience and trained to be able to put his mind in it and go around , then he would only need to test if the clones could travel to Wukong's world by the shadows , and prepare a place in his world where his body could rest while he was there
It took a lot of time and a lot of failed attemps before Macaque would finally succeed
In his excitement he came out directly of Wukong's shadow , startling the other monkey
When Wukong saw him he was at first wary then realized that he was looking at Macaque aka another primate like him and the wariness dissappeared to tackle Macaque in his own excitement
They were both curious and giddy about each other and spent the many later years always at each other side ...until that day
Wukong was punished by heaven and forced to go on a journery and protect a monk
Macaque only wanted to save him but the other wasn't thinking straight
You could say Wukong wasn't able to think at all
The circlet was crushing him , the pain was unberable , and the whispers and words of heaven forcing him to eliminate the enemy made him deaf , his state made him blind to who his enemy was until it was to late
When Wukong broke free from the pain and realized who he was fighting against , he could only watch as Macaque's body , his long time partner , dissolved in a cloud of black smoke and ash
Not knowing that Macaque was still alive , and that he just broke the vessel he came to his world with , Wukong screamed so loud the heavens could hear his cries as if they were right next to him
Wukong would have stayed there grieving until the end of time but he had a journery he was forced to finish
His companions tried to cheer him up or help with his mourning with support but what they didn't know was that it would only get worse unless Macaque came back to Wukong
But Macaque didn't want to , he woke up in his own world , but instead of being glad at being alive he was overcomed by sorrow , fear and anger because of Wukong's actions
He didn't understand what happened to lead Wukong to almost kill him but he was too scared to find out so he never tried to use a vessel again to go to the other world
Macaque thought it would be the end of it all but he didn't know
It was only the beginning.
I need help to come up with names for my Aus ideas , can you all suggest some names please?
The ones that need names are:
1)The one with a power-average Macaque
2)The one where Macaque acts like a dad to Bai He and will later enter a coma
3)The one about other deity-like monkeys from other countries meeting Wukong and Macaque
And
3.2) The one about Macaque and other primates forming a school (4 and 4.2 are written in the same post because the Au develope in the same kind of world)
Check out my other posts if you don't know about the Aus

New Lmk Au/s but it's more of a funny scenario
In journery to the west it says that there were 4 celestial primates , but in the work only make an appearance Sun Wukong and the six eared macaque
I didn't read journery to the west but I think it didn't specify that the other two celestial primate lived in China too (if I'm wrong I'm sorry) , or that they were still alive (again if I'm wrong I apologize) but for Au plot's sake let's say they are alive but live somewhere else
I say they could live somewhere else because there are many other cultures in other places/countries were some monkeys are considered deities/demons/spirits/gods ecc
There also could be other god-like monkeys that are not exactly the celestial primates that China knows in the world , because if China's gods exist why not the ones in other places?
So what if the primates from China(Sun Wukong and Macaque) met the others from other countries? Like a meeting between the monkey kings from all over the world
___
Another idea with the same basic characteristic is if Macaque goes traveling all over the world and makes friends with other powerful primates and they make a fun kind of chaos
I think it would be funny if Macaque forms a quartet with all four of them being a kind of equivalent of the original celestial primates , substituting Wukong with someone else
(bonus if Macaque isn't literally the six eared macaque/ a celestial primate in the first place but him being one is just a running joke)
(bonus n*2 if he really is but his friends think he's joking , then find out it's true later)
I think it would be funny if Macaque takes his friends to China and forms a school
Macaque teachs spells/seals/curses
The wukong equivalent teachs fighting
Another teachs about beasts and artifacts
Another history and culture of demons/celestial/spirits ecc
And MK gets interested in wanting to join , Mei too , much to Wukong's dismay
Bonus if Macaque and the Wukong equivalent are in a fake relationship to mess with Wukong
Or they are in a real relationship and Wukong isn't romantically interested in Macaque but just hates the fact that others like someone he can't stand
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.
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.
Shadow's Realm AU (Shadowpeach)
Macaque concept
Macaque is an infernal primate born from the Shadow's Realm , when he was born he decided to go to the mortal realm because of his curiousity with young Sun Wukong after observing him through the connection of the shadows between the two realms , because Macaque is a special kind of primate like Wukong , he doesn't follow the same rules of everyone else so he could come over the mortal realm by creating a vessel to send to the other world while his real body stayed in the shadow's realm sleeping.
The demons that lived in the Shadow's Realm evolved to be colourful , bright or to have natural body lights to scare away or fight the native dark creatures (their version of animals or beasts) so they could survive and/or hunt them for food. The dark creatures can't stand light or bright colours because of their poor eyesight and they can also be blinded that way.
The same goes to Macaque as well so he has bight white fur , six colourful bioluminescent ears and two golden eyes that become a bright amethyst when using magic to see where it's the darkest.
The vessel doesn't have those characteristics because Macaque thought of them to be useless and too eyecatching in the mortal realm so the vessel looks like the Macaque from the lmk serie.
After Wukong killed his vessel he woke up in the Shadow's Realm and grieved their fall out. But he wouldn't grieve for long because he will later find himself playing-pretend with a delusional Wukong about being a loving couple , and later an husband and parent , in fear of getting killed again. ( He will later find himself caring for the cub and Wukong again)
Shadow's Realm AU (Shadowpeach)
I have an Idea for a Lego monkie kid AU.
I warn you that it's going to be religiously inaccurate. Both because I don't know much about China's religions and because the idea wouldn't work if I didn't change some things.
________________________________________
AU concept
In this lmk AU exists a place called the Shadow's Realm , a connected parallel dimension with the mortal realm.
The alternative names for the mortal realm is the Realm of Light or Light's Realm.
(I know Shadow and Light aren't very original but they are needed for the dynamics and mechanics of the Au)
The mortal/light realm symbolizes a pathway for beings to travel and find a way to the heavens while the shadow's realm is the pathway for the underworld. They're both secondary realms of Heaven and Underworld respectively.
Both Realms have beings living in it , in the first years of the creation of these two realms the shadow's realm was supposed to have demons and dark creatures while the mortal realm was supposed to have only humans , animals and celestial creatures but because of a mistake of Buddha some demons went to the mortal realm and reproduced to the point it was too late to return them to the shadow's realm without struggles , so Buddha made sure the remaining demons in the shadow's realm wouldn't be able to cross over to the other realm and cause trouble while the heavens would supervise the demons in the mortal realm.
The Shadow's realm looks like some kind of mirrored copy of the mortal realm but with the shadows covering the dimension and having their own shadow's born flora and fauna.
Wait!
OHHHHH organsπ»π»
Ok, meat is a little hard to draw some parts didn't get do way I wanted... Anyway, patience
I can't stop drawing this fic
And
A poem that I like pretty much, I used the Google translator so... Doesn't look so poetic, it's happen
Underwater life it's a book, I wanna read it all
Its time to project my bad feelings in to this two freaks π«
Btw it's more fanart from amascomet fanfic (macaque it's strange as fuck, I love him. I will be patiently waiting for the chapter that they talk about what happened here)
I made some fanarts of the @amascomet shadowpeach fanfic, cause this words make me cry over night ππ
(with and without the dialogue)
"Did Wukong bother to handle his corpse with that much care?
Was he consumed by pain and guilt after he brutalized him?
Did he hold his cold, empty shell for hoursβmaybe even days?
He wouldβve."
(sorry I forgot which Chapter this part is from, but wow)
It's a little hard to try to explain why I like this thing but bro, the conflict of the characters with themselves make me wanna jump from my window (in a good sense).
The same person that hurted you is trying so hard to be good for you again and... And... They fail again and again!!! This is what I want to read!!! Yeahhh
Thank for the amazing fanfic, I still wanna make more fanarts from it
Tw!
I colored macaque, he looks even more sad now
I have divergent feelings about this draw, but I still love this piece in my little heart
Hopes macaques get better
Something sweet π
