Where. Is. Update.

(we worry abt you please let us know if you’re resting or sth happened idk😭😭😭)

Hello everyone.

I am sorry for not updating or being here. A lot of stuff happened in my life and I didn't want to vent it here while still being very emotional.

I am not doing great.

I am not in any danger or have any health problems. But I haven't had the chance to draw the next updates and like it or enjoy it. The next updates were supposed to be light hearted and fun, but with my current state...I can't do it and when I try I just get frustrated and sad.

Thank you for showing concern and I am sorry for worrying you. I do not want to end this AU. I still have plans for it, but I can't be sure when the next update is gonna be posted.

[kristea9ay]

Guys I am working on the next updates do not worry ^^

I just have a lot of work with the start of the new semester 😭💀

I did not leave don't worry 🙏

[kristea9ay]

I got a lot of asks and messages lately

And I wanna say that I am super grateful for every message, every comment and every ask 🫶

I absolutely love talking with you guys even if it's silly stuff (silly stuff is the best 😭)

I have problem when it comes to making friends in this community. I have joined so many discord servers but I always end up leaving. It's not because the people are mean though. I am just really socially awkward at first when I don't know people.

So it takes me a while to muster up a courage to speak during calls and such, but I usually get spoken over or people don't really react and so on.

So please feel free if you wanna talk or just comment. I am super grateful for everything you guys do and I read every single comment ^^

And my fellow socially awkward babes

You're not alone 😂 I am struggling as well

[kristea9ay]

New update is here 🙌

Big bro Nezha watching over the three? Hell yeah. There is not enough content of Nezha so Imma have to do this myself ✍️

Thanks for being patient with me! The next few updates will be more silly and not as serious because- I NEED TO RELAX AND I NEED SOME FLUFF 😭

I'm obsessed with the faces and the somewhat living plush mk had during the spider attack, but I couldn't tell--

Is it an Azure plush or a Wukong plush? Or just a basic animal? Idk why but I'm suddenly very invested in the idea that this little lion plush was a gift from Azure so he could keep an eye on his nephew

It's an Azure plushie ^^

And yes that's actually really cute idea 😭 but sadly I am a bit more simple and basic XD I just drew the plushie with expressions because I felt like it and it made me giggle a little

[kristea9ay]

Hello everyone 🙌

I wanna apologize but sadly I won't have the new update ready today :( I will post it tomorrow 100% though!

It's almost finished, but I still need to finish lineart of one page and color it plus do some details which would take like an hour or two.

Under normal circumstances, I would have posted like 3 hours ago, but I got my spine tattoo today (YAY) and then took a long nap....longer than I intended 😭

So here is a small teaser and proof that I have the next update almost ready

I hope you're not too upset with me posting tomorrow instead of today 🙏

(Btw lemme know if you wanna see the spine tattoo 👀)

[kristea9ay]

Sooooo How did your test go?

It was.

SO

HARD

The content and study material itself wasn't that hard to manage, but those teachers man 😭

Teachers make studying even the easiest things a living nightmare

[kristea9ay]

I debated when I should send the ask, like if I should wait till the 7th or not, but....

IT'S FEBRUARY 6TH! THE LAST TEST DAY! WELCOME BACK!

I have been very patiently waiting for this day, the day of your (hopeful) return, and I am here to give you my very genuine wish that all your tests went splendidly! I'm also here to ask how many updates for the story we can be expecting for the month now that you have it (supposedly, life can be real mean) free. You know, if you have any plan or goal cause schedules and self-enforced deadlines SUCK.

Anyway, not to worry if you still have some test or smth, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I will be here kicking my feet like a little kid waiting for that next update. (Take your time! That is an order!)

Oh my gosh you are all so sweet 😭😭😭

And yes I HAVE RETURNED AND HAVE MADE ALL OF MY EXAMS AT FIRST TRY BABY 💅😎✨

I am currently working on the next updates and I am hoping to get at least 3 updates and hopefully have some regular posting schedule during summer semester 🙌

Unfortunately I have been ill almost for 3 weeks now 😭 the stress and poor sleep really got to me during exams. So I either studied, wrote tests or slept.

I do feel better now though since I slept almost through the whole day XD

I've missed you all so so much and I am excited to post the new updates very soon ^^

Edit: forgot to mention that the next update should be ready on Monday ^^

[kristea9ay]

Ok guys, if everything goes as it should, my last test for this semeseter should be on February 6th 🙌

And I should have the rest of the month free 🥳

So fingers crossed that I pass all of my tests on first try 🤞🤞🍀

[kristea9ay]

I hope I'm being wrong but the rant post that you post almost sounded biphobia. If I was wrong, then I apologize about it

I did not mean to be bi-phobic and I am sorry if it came out that way.

What I meant was that I am just VERY UNLUCKY 😭 Because every time I try to talk to another lesbian, she realizes she is bi (which is ok!) and starts to date a boy.

I don't have anything against bisexuals at all. Just wanted to let out my frustrations about being unable to find a girlfriend 😩

[kristea9ay]

Hi guys 👋 just a little rant here. A bit of tea from my life, so if you're interested, keep reading XD

So.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Every time I start to talk to another lesbian and think "omg yess finally, she seems so nice. I could ask her out on a date when we get to know each other a bit more" THY REALIZE THEY ARE BISEXUAL AND FIND A BOYFRIEND 😭😭😭😭

WHY.

For context, I will be 22 this summer and I have never dated anyone 🤡

"Oh it will come out of nowhere" "you have to go out and meet people" SHUT UP 😭😭😭😭

When I AM trying to find someone I still end up single and when I don't try I ALSO end up single.

So rn I am showing a big 🖕to the universe and I am trying no more. Some girl BETTER approach me and show interest in me before my 22th b-day or I am going to a strip-club ISTG.

[kristea9ay]

I cannot breathe without your au. Good luck with the exams!

Thank you so much 🫶💕

And thank you all for the encouraging comments in my last post ^^

I have my first exam tomorrow and next week I have 3 😵‍💫😵 the classes and the study materias aren't that hard, but the teachers are kind of....well THEY are the problem XD

But I have managed to sit down every evening before bed and sketch the next comic pages at least for a little bit 🙌✨

[kristea9ay]

I will be gone for a bit 🤏

So guys, I have my Uni exams and I really gotta lock in 🤡

I may answer some asks but there will be no regular updates about the Celestial Family AU for at least 2 weeks.

I will try to sit down, relax and draw for a bit every evening so that when my exams are finished, I will be ready to post 🙌

[kristea9ay]

You did Macaques future vision beautifully ! I love how you added the quick animation to demonstrate how overwhelming it was for Macaque. Ahhh I can’t wait for the next parts. This is getting more and more interesting.

Thank you so much 😭 🙏💕

I'm really glad you guys like it. It was my first time animating and even though it's not something complicated, it was still new and fun to try ^^

[kristea9ay]

SHOW US A SHADOWPEACH KISS💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

You asked and you shall receive 🙌

Did I give Wukong this badass, gorgeous eyeliner because it's a cool design? Yes. Did I also do it just because I want Macaque to do his eyeliner for him?...also yes XD

[kristea9ay]

AHEM. HELLO. I HAVE RESURFACED... WITH THOUGHTS.

I spend an unreasable amount of time trying to read flashing text, gave up trying to put it in any sort of order, and here I am to theorize my findings: for your entertainment.

What's said, first page left side:

Xiaotian (twice)

Stop!

There has to be another way

Where is he?!

What do you want?

It's too dangerous!

I have to do this

Conclusion: The dialog matches those from Wukong, Macaque, and MK during season 5. However, because of Xiaotian's new destiny to refill the energy of a Celestial being, he no longer seems to be the case. Instead, it would be the first time he tries recharging a Celestial, even if it's dangerous. Xiaotian wanting to due to some trama or some mentor's influence (ie: "I have to so this"), Macaque and Wukong probably did some sort of forbade thing, (ie: "Stop" "Xiaotian" one for Wukong and the other for Macaque) and Xiaotian did a little 'sneak out' thing, hence the dialog "Where is he?" But "What do you want" could be many people to many people, I assume it would be the snake guy in season five (forgot his name) or another Celestial, like Azure...

Diologe, page one right side:

Wukong!

Baba!

It's me

What do we do (almost missed this)

We have time save Papa

Please don't do this

Get away from him!

Conclusion: Somthing happens to both Wukong (Obviously) and Macaque (less obvious. ) 'Baba' is what Xiaotian calls Macaque. Now, he could be going after Wukong or 'Papa' (i.e., we have to save Papa). My theory is in trying to save Wukong, from whatever, he is caught and hurt or removed from the premises. Now... what happens to Wukong? Heaven isn't likely an option, now that Azure is the emperor, BUT still an option if there's some betray, aka the two monkeys don't want their son to recharge Azure, then the circlet could be a possibility. (i.e., "get away from him" "What do we do" "we need to save Papa" "It's me(?)") Now, the 'don't do this' in pleading form?? What's concerning, and I don't think it's about Xiaotian. Now, Wukong also has a sacrificial nature that I could totally see him going to recharge Azure or smth. Regardless I don't like it.

Second page:

WUKONG!

PAPA!

(Very small) stop

Xiaotian

It's you

Mihou... I'm so sorry

Conclusion: same, really, but even more evidence, and with the caps on 'Baba' and 'Wukong' is VERY VERY concerning. Wukong seems to do somthing he regrets (like sacrifice himself or doing somthing under influence of Azure). Now at this point "It's you" has been said many times, and whoever it is will drastically change whatever happens so I'm not really gonna touch it.

Third page:

Only he can do this

Stop!

It's you (again)

Xiaotian

Shut up! (Twice)

It's his purpose

It's you (AGAIN)

(and of course Harbinger of Chaos)

Conclusion: Someone is playing the role of the snake hair guy, (i.e., "It's his purpose," "only he can do this") saying it's Xiaotian's destiny, probably Azure, to Wukong or Macaque, either trying to exspain or stop one of the two from interfering. "Shut up" Can be Xiaotian to his parents (one for each, yummy angst) OR his parents to this destiny figure, which now that I think about it, could be Lady Bone Demon, the Hundred Eyed Demon, Azure, or snake hair guy.

ANYWAY-! I AM VERY CONCERNED, HOPE I DONT DIE FROM THE STORY! :'D.

This would be why they would be protective, if he is destined to bring chaos, that means it's not just his aura, but he brings the battles to him.

I have also got to acual questions for you:

Is Xiaotian still Monkie King's successor?

Has Xiaotian's headband ever come off? What happened, if anything, because of it?

Anyway- I somehow managed to have this be longer then the first ask, woops, hope you have a great New Years! Cheers to many more drawings to come!

I

Absolutely

ADORE YOU 😭

It makes me so damn happy and excited to see how much people are invested, so thank you, all of you, so much for all the support 🫶

I always like to read whatever you guys have to say, be it an ask or a comment. And if I do not respond to your ask, please don't be upset, I have some brilliant asks that I WANT to answer, but I am saving them for the future updates 😭

So if I do not answer your question in the ask box, you probably guessed what is about to happen in the future updates 👀

Now back to your question.

First of all, I am very impressed that you managed to get the flashing text 👏 I made it difficult on purpose, so well done 🙌✨

I cannot really deny or confirm your theories, I wanna keep you on your toes 💅✨

And for your question, Xiaotian isn't a succesor, but rather an heir to the Flower Fruit Mountain.

Also, Xiaotians headband hasn't come off, but if it somehow did it he would lose control of his powers and there would be a lot of chaos (hehe) BUT only if he wouldn't be trained and had not learned how to control it.

If it would come off when he's an adult and in control, he would get a really strong burst of energy and would have to really concentrate not to lose control.

[kristea9ay]

So Kristy, will we see a shadowpeach wedding in your au 💛💜

Possibly 👀
