finished the entirety of lmk s5 and i gotta say. what the actual heck did i watch/pos/but unwell

#That was a certainly rollercoaster of a 100 minutes #spoiler warning but uh #Macaque???? What happened to him #If hes not okay i will cry #Also this whole season was just proof after proof that mk cant keep winging it he needs to see a therapist #Why do you have so many problems. it's literally insane #Honestly im just very out of my mind rn because wow everything happened so so fast #But it was very fun #The animation style changed a bit and i kinda miss the old one but mneh #cant wait to see the consequences of this season in the next one im sure nothing will be fine.#incoherent ramblings

Once the theatre monkey discovers angsty broadway musicals its all over y'all

or: I got a new personal project I'm workin' on! I'm at the first pass on the animatic rn! I forgot that 'generate matte' is a thing you can do in SB Pro for a whole hour!! I'm suffering!!!

#lmk #lego monkie kid #animatic #wip #storyboarding #fanart #six eared macaque #liu'er mihou #lmk macaque #shadowpeach #sun wukong is not here but he is haunting the mini-narrative #mac thinks HE's doing the haunting lol nah dude your ex-mans is living rent-free in ur cranium #I heard this song in a 'cartoon villain playlist' and only learned later it was from a play and went like:#“and i can feel bitter shadowpeach feels in this chilis tonight”#something something Denial something something river in Egypt #this is what happens when u don't talk about your feelings #POV: you're on the downward spiral but you're taking it like a waterslide #for real my favorite part of mac's character arc is where he's justifiably Bitter About It #but that won't stop him from being UNjustifiably a huge piece of work and Extremely Biased about it #it being the past events where two monkies both managed to fumble the bag in adjacent but slightly different ways #macaque ilu but u are not genre-savvy sometimes #i know mac is a chinese character BUT #he would totally spell theatre <- this way if he learned to read/write in english #i actually headcanon that his magical celestial monkey hearing would make it REALLY easy to pick up new languages but not the writing #oop i forgot: song is For The Record from 36 Questions #which I have not seen so idk how thematically relevant the og song context will be here

Tell me about a song you like right now, maybe an animation you just watched that made you think thoughts and feel things

Only Acting by Kero Kero Bonito!! I want to make an animatic for Macaque using this song and some parts of Shadow Play and the s4 special.. although im still mapping it and deciding whether I want to use the radio edit or not lol

#its like really really rough and mostly in my head rn bc i havent drawn lmk in a while so im a little rusty. probably need to rewatch some #eps if i want to get a good idea of what i wanna include. im also debating if i should wait until we get more context on his and wukongs #past before i do anything bc the last thing i wanna do is butcher it @_@... i was thinking of paralleling the song with the pilgrims #but because i dont actually know what HAPPENED or why mac even thinks wukong killed him thats probably gonna be important to know #but its like really cool in my head.. if u listen to the song sarahs voice uses an audio filter and there are some random glitch effects #which could be good visually for macs smoke monster and him fucking with MK in general.. spooky stuff!!!#the lyrics also speak from the pov of a performer which is what reminded me of mac in the first place so it would be fun to animate to #its in my shower playlist so when i listen to it i get really intense visualizing for what scenes i wanna do. hitting 2 birds with 1 stone #actually thats smth i do when i wanna storyboard smth.. i add it to my shower playlist bc thats where i come up with my ideas lol #but yea!!! if i ever get around to doing it id be really excited to share what i have.. i have another in mind with pigsy and MK #which is way shorter and i could probably get it done during my break... ;o)#my art #myart #ask #answered #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk macaque #six eared macaque #liu er mihou #doodles #yapping

i think i need to throw a child from a window.

for character development.

Same. But less like toddlers and more like young people.

But

Why a child specifically?

If it’s like— a psycho child who is burning kittens then sure, but like the average child isn’t really deserving of your time.

I’ve met some… weird kids but like, not throw through a window weird? What kids are you around? I’m a little worried about all of the people in this hypothetical.

ok quick, before Season 5 potentially confirms anything:

#personally I never got on board with the theory that it was actually peng/lbd/azure/whoever else ppl like to pin it on #partly bc it never rlly interested me but also bc it makes sense that Wukong killed him and. y'know. that's what happened in JttW.#Lego Monkie kid #Monkie kid #lmk #lmk wukong #lmk macaque #polls

thinking about the fact that MK was probably really REALLY close to going monkey mode during the shadowplay episode...

#Monkie Kid #like when he finally breaks a bit after being tackled by the shadow versions of the others #the electric energy + the glowing eyes + jumping up??#those are all EXACTLY the same as what MK did the first time he went Monkey Mode #so.... he was probably REALLY close to it right then and there #tbh if you really think about it that's happened in response to macaque quite a few times #you could count MK tossing the staff at him in ep9 #as well as him leaping up into the air before transforming in s3 ep4 #Macaque is just great at bringing out peoples primal rage i guess #can you IMAGINE if he had turned into a monkey for the first time during that episode though #without any real buildup to it???#that would've been NUTS

I need to write this so I don’t forget so that I can fic it later (lmk Drabble / fic prompt if anyone wants it) macaque angst, mild gore warning

Macaque failed in his task and the Lady is displeased. The thrall who calls himself a mayor requests his head, but his Lady thinks the shadow may still be of use. Still, he deserves a punishment, no? The Mayor asks to destroy something slightly smaller than a head, but no less amusing to ruin.

Perhaps it is the six eared warriors eyes that ruin his performance, the mayor says, afterall, losing an eye can quite affect one’s vision. He never did heal completely from that fight with his old love, did he?

The lady agrees. Why would a warrior named for his hearing need his sight anyways?

Go, she says, do as you wish. The mayor is eager to comply.

He rushes forward, claws of bone and ice ripping from his knuckles with a violent crack and the wet sound of flesh. He smiles.

Macaque does not struggle, chained and bruised and bloodied, has no leeway in his binds. He cannot struggle, and even if he could move he does not know if he would. His every muscle aches and his bones are weak and he is so, so tired. He cannot hope to count the wounds.

The claws rake across his eye and he screams. That is all he can do as blood runs warm and sticky down his face and fire rushes through his veins. He knows nothing but pain and it only gets worse.

The mayor removes his claws and considers taking the eye with them, but decides he likes the look of the bleeding wound too much to ruin it. It is beautiful.

Macaque feels his shadows, roused from their frozen terror at his pain, swarm his mind. They drag him down to rest and he does not fight it.

#Mac is left completely blind and forced to rely on hearing to get around #LBD still sends him after the monkie gang but he keeps his scarf pulled up and a hood over his head so nobody notices #his hearings good enough for him to get around and his shadows help aswell #but he’s terrified and overall this things got some great angst potential #might be my next long au? a s3 rewrite this time #I’ve got some ideas #I’d love to read fics like this also if anyone knows them #or wants to write one hint hint wink wink please it think it would be cool #lmk #lmk macaque #ao3 #lmk fanfiction #fanfic #fanfic idea #fanfiction #ooooh what happens when Wukong notices #is he horrified? does he take a sick joy in it? or does he realize what he had started when he took macaques first eye?#so many possibilities #lmk lady bone demon #lmk mayor

if we dont finally see what happened between macaque and wukong in s5 i think i might actually explode

#lmk #lego monkie kid #saw an edit on tiktok and just #had to put it into words #there r 3 things i need in s5 #1: the truth between wukong and macaque's backstory (that one tweet about 'thats what mac thinks happened' is driving me NUTS)#2: wukong crying. let this man break. he needs a good ole breakdown. he has hundreds of years of repressed emotions. let him CRYY #3: a REAL HUG between mk and wukong. not a side hug or a short hug. a good long full body hug. specfically with wukong comforting mk #(ill also take a hug between mac and wukong. but that must also be a full body hug!)#also wanna see mk go ape shit (pun intended hehe)#AND AND AND more nezha and red son screentime #give my boys the spotlight please ;n;#okay thats all #back to the good omens brain rot i gooo #lmk wukong #lmk macaque

In the Samadhi Fire ritual flashbacks and the brief vision of Macaque and Monkey King's final fight, SWK lacks the circlet. Do you think this is an intentional plot element, memory being fallible, or a straight-up animation error?

The 3x04 flashback of SWK and Macaque's fight lacking a circlet could easily be fallible memory or bias, but either way it's definitely intentional. The 3x10 Samadhi Fire flashback on the other hand is an unbiased account of what sealing the fire had looked like, so without a doubt we can trust everything we see there!

Honestly, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there were in fact 2 SWK V Macaque fights: one during jttw where Tang Sanzang encouraged Wukong to spare Macaque (Like the great monk had done with LBD—that or Wukong is just straight up unwilling to finish Macaque off), and another fight post-jttw where it's Wukong alone without the influence of the pilgrims. But that's just me throwing stuff out there.

#but then you gotta think about where Wukong is in his character development #When it comes down to it why was he willing to kill Macaque in any scenario #Like Macaque buddy what were you doing #Like lmk Wukong even sealed DBK away #So for Macaque to be removed from the mortal plane...like what is going on with that #Hmmm but I guess DBK was sent to the underworld too. ''Flesh. Bone—I return to the realm of the living!''#Girl I actually have no idea what is happening in this show #''Every choice has consequences—for someone'' hello Macaque seriously what were you doing #Come on man we seriously do need answers #''The old you would have leveled this whole mountain range to stop me!''#So. What version of Wukong. During jttw? Post jttw? Is the time post sealing DBK something that changed him? Or was it the journey?#lmk #lego monkie kid #asks #lmk SWK #lmk Macaque #lmk theory

Does the rest of the brotherhood know about MK?

They all do! One of the few who knew of his relation to wukong.

He thought they were cool, trusted them just as quickly as wukong had. Started having doubts later on when he had a conversation with macaque about it but never really did anything about it.

He would've replaced macaque in the brotherhood if he hadn't declined, he thinks they're more for wukong than him. He didn't think going against the jade emperor is a good thing. He likes what he's got going on in ffm, thank you.

He never knew what happened to them since their siege in heaven.

#twin stones au #Wukong king of gatekeeping information #He knows what happened to dbk #He only heard rumors about the rest. Never really trusted those.#More worried abt macaque's disappearance and wukong's wellbeing in the journey #In my head he's more biased towards monkeys cuz they're family to him in this au #He started having compassion for mortals and the like when wukong was in the journey and he's left all on his lonesome #So sorry brotherhood. Mk has priorities 😭😭

wukong takes you on a date to get $7 cheese tea and it sucks. as in the date. not the tea. also you dont know that its a date.

#spacie spoinks #you're used to only being around wukong when mk is around so like when out of the blue hes like ''hey wanna grab a cheese tea?''#you're surprised but like ''sure''#now hes. not great at connecting with people admittedly so the hangout (COUGH DATE) does not go too well (its saved in the end #b/c of some reason or the other tho i havent decided what happens yet)#this is the culmination of a big scheme mk and mei have devised because wukong is too cowardly to ask you out on his own #mk and mei have tried everything to get him to confess. he clams up straight up insults you or starts talking about who knows what #you're confused at this sudden...attention being directed towards you #but dont think anything of it b/c its within wukong's nature to be weird #so like. here we are. with mei mk and swk. they hand him mk's phone and are like ''ok now call them and ask them out'' wukongs like #''OK I GOT THIS! can you leave this room for a sec.'' fine. they leave. he calls. you #pick up expecting mk. it is not mk. wukong fumbles so hard he almost accidentally insults you again. somehow he manages to string together #''can we hangout or something'' you're like what?? and now we're on the cheese tea ''date''#payoff for dating wukong will not come until some many chapters later b/c i want to troll wukong and also the audience #theres no way hed be comfortable asking you out after barely getting to know you. this guy has IMMENSE struggles with intimacy #IT IS GOING TO TAKE AWHILE LMAO #but anyway. the date ends with you too finally breaking that ''ice'' that has been between you two since you've met. you kind of start #to like him and realize he isnt just a jackass 24/7 as macaque (and tbh every interaction you've had so far with wukong) would lead you to #believe. wow maybe you could even start to be friends #of course this is where the weird codependent romantic situationship with macaque starts happening. theres something about #you having a relationship with wukong that makes something snap within him #and they both get sooooofucking weird about you and each other once they both find out that the other one also likes you #like remember for my hcs for them. wukong falls faster but macaque falls harder #and like. mix that with the both of them being too scared to make the first move. its like actual hell. when you're reading this i want it #to be hell for you #BHABSHJKHAKHSAHAHAHAHA

we all are wondering the same question XD

poor Mac tho.... he really needs a hug

https://www.tumblr.com/kittenninja14/731916269075480576/hey-yall-i-just-found-this-incredible-video-and

So i'm putting together a reference of Macaque expressions/emotions because I like him a regular amount and this is the coolest frame by frame subtlety find i've found yet
