JTTW READING CLUB CATCH UP
Pt. 2
@journeythroughjourneytothewest
Chpt 4 Thoughts:
ā¢the fighting immediately at the gate should have tipped everyone off this wasnāt going to go wellš doomed from the start
ā¢the hand holding with Gold star of Venus and Wukong I am not okay, Iām exploding itās so cute
ā¢Holy shit the poem about Heaven is LONG
ā¢Wukong handles being called a bogus immortal very well?? I thought he would be angrier about thatā¦ I guess he knows its true thoš¤·āāļø
ā¢Wukong is fantastic at his job- the best horse girl around (for the 2 weeks he was there lol)
ā¢tantrumā¢ļø kicks over his desk and smashes everything with his ruyi bang, causes property damage and LEAVES
ā¢interesting that Iāve seen a lot of adaptations have him release the horses and do a mini havoc in Heaven
ā¢love that itās just 2 random demons who suggest é½å¤©å¤§å£ to Wukong, not anyone important or anything JAKDJSJ
ā¢HE QUITS AND THE JADE EMPEROR CALLS FOR HIM BE CAPTURED BECAUSE HES A MONSTER??? HUH???(I thought Gold Star stepped in but I GUESS I WAS WRONG)(capitalism smh /j)
ā¢NEZHA APPEARANCE WHOOOO
ā¢Spreading Flower axe sounds so cool, prime design material
ā¢āeyes glowered strangely like burning stars; past his shoulders two ears, forked and hard; his voice resounded like bells and chimesā<- poem about Wukong, so lovely
ā¢Theme Iām noticing: Wukong treated like an animal until proven otherwise (makes sense but also not)
ā¢asks Nezha whose little brother is he, and Nezha immediately spits back like 3 insults JAKFJSJSJ, he is not here to mess aroundš«
ā¢3 HEADED 6 ARM FIGHT: WUKONG v. NEZHA
ā¢the old bait and switch then smashing Nezhaās shoulder (flash back to all the paintings of Nezha running off while holding his broken armš)
ā¢Love that Wukong called himself the little brother of the fraternal 7
ā¢Gold Star Of Venus more like Master Negotiator/Mediator
ā¢ā¦.is Gold star lying??? WUH
ā¢āPeace and Quietā and āSerene Spiritā- itās like they donāt know thatās gonna bore the shit out of Wukongš like watching a train wreck in slow motion- HES NEEDS ACTION AND SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH
Chpt 5&6 under cut:
Chpt 5 Thoughts:
ā¢uses all his free time to make more friends
ā¢Gold Star realizes that he may get bored so they give him an extremely tedious task that will also probably bore him JAKDJAJAJD
ā¢HELP HE JUST STARTS EATING ALL THE PEACHES WHAT- he behaved for probably like 2 weeks (again) and then decided he couldnāt wait any longer to try the OLDEST AND RAREST FRUIT IN THE GARDEN!!! AND HE PICKS MULTIPLE, NOT JUST ONE
ā¢Iām yelling he does this multiple times
ā¢okay but him playing around and eating making him tired and taking a nap on the branches when heās 2 inches tall?? Adorable, no longer mad he ate all the peaches, heās just a little guy
ā¢ah so he only ate the really good ones. Ofcourse.
ā¢Gently breaking the news that heās probably not invited to the banquet š¬
ā¢immediately freezes the peach maidens- WHY??? WHAT WAS THE REASON???
ā¢Identity theft smh
ā¢he is feelingā¦.mischievous
ā¢RESIST UR IMPULSES OH MY GOD
ā¢he is so wasted he accidentally wandered into Laoziās lab
Wukong: Iāve never met Laoziā¦.now is for SURE the perfect time to make friends, when Iām so drunk I canāt walk straight
ā¢He keeps putting things in his mouth, very monkeyā¢ļø of him
ā¢IMMEDIATELY sobered up and knew he was in deep shit
ā¢he lived in heaven for over a century šš, Wukong says half a year- so maybe like 175 days?
ā¢he goes back to get wine for his monkeys š„ŗš„ŗ
ā¢next day/year Everyone one complains about the Havoc LMAO, they just kept coming, I know the Jade Emperor is distraught HAJDJAJ
ā¢Wukong was going to straight up ignore the heavenly army they sent if they hadnāt busted down his doorš
ā¢all his demon Allies were captured while he did a 1 v 6 with Nezha and the 5 Devarajas
ā¢Wukong starting to get lost in the sauce, doesnāt care his allyās were captured as long as his monkeys are okay
Chpt 6 Thoughts:
ā¢Guan Yin Rolling up their sleeves to fix this mess
ā¢ānothing but an invitation to disappointmentā THE DRAMATICS
ā¢I wonder if the Greek constellations were actually listed or if that was a translation choice??
ā¢interesting that he outlasted Moksa instead of outwitting him- I feel like thereās a deeper meaning to that
ā¢Guan Yin: I have a solutionā¦..call in your Nephew
Jade Emperor: GENIUS
ā¢Erlang is PUMPED to fight Wukong
ā¢something something Erlang Shen is HAWT
ā¢Erlang Shen: Iām here to kick your ass and arrest you
Wukong: your MOM
Erlang already swinging:
ā¢Warform fight pt 2: Electric Boogaloo
ā¢āthey darted as stars to fill the skyā
ā¢Erlangs eye being called the Phoenix Eye sounds SO COOL
ā¢spotted bustard has no standards-I stand by the whore joke
ā¢Erlang having fun with their fight LMAOOOOO
ā¢HELP WHY DID HE WASTE TIME ENTERING A TEMPLE??? WUKONG PLSšš UR ARMY IS GONE AND YOURE CORNERED NOW IS NOT THE TIME
ā¢Wukong defeated with an assist from Laozi and Xiaotian
ā¢stabbed for his crimes
ā¢itās execution time
ā¢really loved that the poems were used to describe all of the fights
