When season four aired, I started to write this text explaining why I was disappointed with Sandy's character development in that season. I never got to actually finish, but yeah, I didn't like what the show brought us so far.

I just realised why Mk it’s a delivery boy, one of Sun Wukong principal jobs on the Journey to the West was to search for food for Taprikakka and go search for help when they need it.

He was a delivery boy.

I feel so dumb, Omg, you can’t do this to me, please, monkie kid writers, please stop.

They can’t get away with this.

They did, good for them, I’m proud.

Also NO–

I want to see Wukong as a serious and powerful king outside of the mountain of flowers and fruits, but gentle and affectionate with his subjects when he returns home after showdowns with various monsters.

Baigujing and Wukong!

Baigujing is trying to convince Wukong to join her, so they can both can be immortal by eating Tripitaka's flesh...

I wanted to try a different pen for this piece! It was good, but I do prefer my other pens xD enjoy!

If you like my work, consider joining my patreon!

Also had to draw Human Macaque as well in his Shadow play disguise!

[scaredcrab]

Trying to get used to the LMK style a and wanted to draw Human wukong again xD

Don't let this man fix your car.

LMK if it was a video game (based off totk/botw)

[scaredcrab]

What do you think human Wukong and Macaque would look like in the lego style? I know we technically saw Macaque's disguise un Shadow Play, but only half of his face was visible.

This is just a sloppy sketch, but here is an idea!

Their looks are based off those citizens dressed as Wukong during the new years parade in the spider queen special!

AI is really destroying everything, isn't? Like, there is no safe space anymore.

Tumblr was kind of an safe space to me

IMPORTANT: TUMBLR HAS MADE A DEAL WITH MIDJOURNEY/OPENAI.

YOUR ART AND IMAGES ON TUMBLR ARE BEING USED TO TRAIN AI MODELS.

The opt-in is automatic, but you can turn it off in settings.

Go to "Blog Settings" -> "Visibility" -> "Third-Party Sharing" and turn on "Prevent third-party sharing for [blog]". (This post shows how to do it on browser and on mobile.) You need to do this with every sideblog. (Note: The option in settings might not appear if your app hasn't updated yet. You can still opt out via browser.)

Spread the word. Everyone on Tumblr needs to know about this.

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.

psst, tumblr just quietly rolled out collaboration with ai training models, and it's opt-out, not opt-in, go into your blog settings to fix it [on desktop, anyway, dunno where you'd look on mobile] keep fighting the good fight <3

I don't see an option for it now, so it may not have rolled out for everyone yet? Unless I'm just missing where it is

I’ve been doing my best to find proper descriptions of the pilgrims’ appearances, but my search results are being frustratingly vague, and the novel itself has a habit of giving this information in small, dispersed increments (which I struggle to find)—not to mention one or two costume changes on Monkey’s end.

So, I must ask, do you have any reliable sources for the crew’s physical appearance?

(Sorry if you’ve been asked this before!)
