A small comic that is heavily inspired by @radiobugso's posts (specifically these two posts!) where Mac and Wukong, both, got imprisoned under the mountain and therefore both do the JTTW!

The comic, specifically, is about brainrot on what maybe could have happened after the two gay monkeys got freed from under the mountain and got their shiny new "crowns"!

Also I just really like drawing Tang Sanzang as a b@stard (sm Angst potential) >:]

Idk, felt nostalgic

Can MK turn human in the new cycle or is he stuck as a monkey?

he can shape shift into one so yes! made a drawing some time ago👀

also just made another art but in colors so you get to see how precious he look✨🤲

He have 72 transformation, so he can turn into a human, but it's no longer his true form

and when he's an adult he's absolutely a pretty boy😌✨

so like

we're all aware that the religion practiced in rain world by the ancients (iterators, and some of the slugcats by extension) is heavily inspired by buddism-- karma, reincarnation, ascension that leads to enlightenment where the need for the life/death cycle is past you now because you no longer feel suffering

five pebbles tells survivor and monk to go west.

west.

like in journey to the west? the great classical chinese novel, an allegorical journey about human perseverance?

in a game that is so incredibly difficult that beating it would require persistence?

was this intentional? did videocult know this? why haven't i seen anyone talk about this before?

im losing my mind right now

Hilarious idea regarding the Tiger Monk au:

We don't know when exactly Azure managed to slip away from Manjusri after the "King of Wuji"-incident, but considering he was only acting under his bodhisattva's orders with that one (the king did drown what he thought was a harmless monk in a sewer), Azure probably only got a slap on the wrist for it. Manjusri is a typical cat-parent.

So our poor human-turned-into-a-tiger-demon monk could have a very determined admirer almost immediately after the Pilgrims "defeat" the false king!

(*The pilgrims are all sitting down at a rest stop. Wukong is helping his master comb out his fur*)

Wujing, does a headcount: "Did we gain another travel companion?"

Bajie, not paying attention: "Not since we fished you up. Why?"

Wujing: "The Lion-Lynx demon has been following us the last couple of miles."

All Pilgrims: (*turn heads to see Azure, observing them from a distance. He waves awkwardly at them*)

Bajie: "What's he want?"

Ao Lie: "Maybe he had a change of heart, like the Black Wind Bear spirit did, and wants to do good by us!"

Tripitaka: "It would certainly be nice to have someone more versed in the life of big cats aid me in this form."

Azure, overhearing: (*blushes excitedly! May have misunderstood the intent of the monk's words*)

Wukong, suspicious: "He can keep his distance, that's what!"

Azure manages to convey an apology to the Pilgrims for the trouble he caused them in Wuji, and that he hopes to host them whenever they find themselves at Camel Ridge. The gang are surprised by the pleasantry.

And each Pilgrim *except* Tripitaka notices that the lion's eyes are fixed firmly on the tiger monk the entire time.

Tripitaka himself is overjoyed to make a new ally after encountering so many murderous bandits and demons. He forgets his manners when he grasps Azure's hands in his own, glad to accept his friendship. Azure can't stop his tail from swaying like a tomcat ready to pounce.

Bajie and Wujing notice the bigger cat's reaction, and silently agree to make sure he and their master aren't left alone too long.

Wukong senses that something has changed in how Azure addresses him, chalking some of it to time lost in those 500 years. Perhaps guilt? Regret from being unable to free the Monkey King from punishment? But theres something else different...

In the coming months; Azure would happen upon the Pilgrims at different stops in their Journey - with the excuse that he hìmself was on his way home to Camel Ridge (Wukong 100% smells bs cus he knows Azure is a fast traveller like him, but he lets it cook). The Lion is quite cordial during his visits; exchanging knowledge of the world and friends that have changed in the last 500 years with his former Brother, and sharing what his own Master has taught him to the others.

Azure's focus still seems to gravitate towards Tripitaka, the shy monk unsure of how to react to such attention.

However, seemingly everytime they try speak alone, Tripitaka finds himself surrounded by four guard-diciples! And like with attack dogs, the smallest is the most vicious! XD

Tripitaka, holding back Wukong by the collar: "I'm so sorry, he's normally never like this!"

Azure, keeping safe distance: "Him yes, the other monkey however..."

Macaque: (*shakes head disapprovingly from the shadows*)

After a particularlly... close encounter shared between the two big cats, Wukong finds himself having to explain "The Demonic Birds and the Bees" to a frankly horrified Tripitaka. XD
