waiter! I'll have what ^they are having please

Since I can't go to the protests today cuz I have a shift at the factory (not a joke), I'm posting this today instead

If you can protest safely

DO IT

otherwise, boost video recordings from protests, amplify the voices of those on the front lines of this effort, call your representatives, and make it as clear as fucking possible that we want this ridiculous tyrant and his Project 2025-writing cabinet removed from power and prosecuted

#prev tags i agree!

rotating shadowpeach dynamics and angst in my brain and wound up drawing a Peter Pan-ish AU, ft. Sun Wukong as Pan and Macaque as Captain Hook

this was mostly inspired by what I've heard about the original Peter Pan being a little darker in some areas than expected - basically take the shadowpeach backstory of 'events outside our monkey bros control force distance between the two besties, SWK basically rolls with the punches and SEM does NOT leading to one ugly blowout of a fight that permanently fucks up the bromance' and apply Peter Pan lore:

Mac becomes Wukong's tagalong/lost boy/BFF when Smol, but as time goes on, he grows up and SWK does NOT, losing interest in the friendship and sending Mac into a panic. He desperately tries to hold onto their friendship and chase after SWK, but that just backfires when Wukong lashes out. Down a hand and an eye, Macaque becomes obsessed with vengeance and continues trying to catch/kill SWK, growing up into a ruthless pirate captain

something that was just tugging on me with this idea is that in this AU, SWK's character growth basically gets surgically removed on account of the 'permanently an immature child' thing, and WOW yeah that part of the Peter Pan lore is kinda underused for angst wtf

bonus: drawing timelapse go brrrrrrrrrrr

#i got shook'd by my own au idea #shadowpeach #but platonic on account of the #peter pan au #also partially inspired by how gotdamn cute SEM was in the 2007 (i think) chinese cartoon #EDIT: i was off by 2 years - that show's from 2009 TuT #i haven't finished it yet because i am DISTRESSED at his corruption arc #peachbuds?#peachbuds #...huh for someone who clings to the wholesome aspects of the monkeys relationship in various adaptations #i sure did decide to draw a absolutely UN-wholesome au of the dynamic :/#lmk #jttw #monkey king #sun wukong #six eared macaque #liu'er mihou #lego monkie kid #fanart

Behold, a fool who thought that, when deactivating domains on one registrar's site, the service would NOT perform digital necromancy on the domain, thus meaning that altho it is DEAD AND DEACTIVATED, it can't be re-registered with a different service cuz some records were NOT deactivated

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyways here's my new portfolio site, which has officially moved and unpacked and everything yaaaaaaaay

#PSA if u have a wix account and u want to NOT have a wix account read their info on closing/cancelling accounts BEFORE u start doing shit #they made it. so. fucking. hard. to stop using their service #like i wanted to cancel cuz i learned it's an israel-owned company but by the time I actually started making progress on the cancellation??#boy did I have some additional PERSONAL reasons to want to kick them to the curb #“ohh u don't have to deactivate your domain <3 it'll just deactivate itself once the period you already paid for is up”#“you don't mind waiting a year and losing your money to a site you won't use with a comapny you don't want to be asscociated with right?? <#FUCK #had to actually bully the ai help thing to give me a real person to talk to and then VERY FIRMLY state (repeatedly!)#that I did NOT want the account left open until the period was up I wanted it GONE #uggghhhhhhh boy companies sure do love showing their predatory colors when they think you want to leave 'em huh #animation #2d animation #portfolio #portfolio site #demo reel

give it up for Mr. I-don't-really-talk-about-my-feelings-maybe-I-should, everyone, any donations made to the theatre are going straight to a therapist fund!

#six eared macaque #lmk macaque #lego monkie kid #lmk #shadowpeach #liu'er mihou #wip #storyboarding #animatic #fan art #imagine working at this theater #its cool! someone decided to refurbish an old broken-down building for the arts!! neat!!!#and then u look up on ur shift and just see ur boss dramatically hopping around like the goddamn phantom of the opera #some of the other staff assure u this isn't that out-of-pocket for the theatrical crowd #and yes he's had his shots #oh my god imagine mac hearing someone compare him to the phantom and thus ends up on the pipeline straight to the poto fandom #idk guys something about a couple-millenia-old monkey bringing his love of theatre and dramatics straight thru hell and into the modern day #and then getting introduced to the continuing traditions of that art just sparks joyyyyyyy #alas i know not enough about plays and broadway and whatnot to speculate what his Opinions would be #(he would definitely have some Thoughts and Feelings about Hadestown tho.....oof)#c'mon we know who he's talking about here #we KNOW

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

in the notes on my last lmk fanart some folks were like "this reminds me of this clip/vine/tiktok" and y'all were so right I had to learn storyboard pro about it *happy wiggling*
