(Click for better quality) Presenting the ocean’s protector, Hao Yang! Or, at least, his Lego Monkie Kid self.

Made purely of divine energy from the seas, he can control any kind of water and can will it into anything he wants. In this universe he was created specifically to guard a piece of celestial treasure, and he stayed close to it for several years since his “birth” until Wukong showed up wondering why the energy was off. The two quickly became friends, and had the biggest crushes on each other up until the end of season 3, and after the Lady Bone Demon’s defeat they confess to each other.

During the time when PIF started courting with DBK, she came around the mountain many times to see him. She was allied with Wukong by proxy(sworn brothers and all that) and so she met Yang this way as well. They developed a brother and sister bond that remains strong even after DBK is sealed under the mountain. Yang doesn’t actively help in any evil plans but he doesn’t mind offering up resources sometimes

Yang steps up to assist her in taking care of Redson; he doesn’t stop being friends with Wukong but he’s super angry that he would hurt the family like this, so they end up not talking until a few years before “A Hero Is Born” when Wukong is keeping an eye on MK.

Yang is proud to say he’s on good terms with both the mortal and celestial realms. He didn’t participate in the war on heaven and generally hasn’t gotten on anyone’s bad side so it’s not uncommon for him to play as the neutral party or negotiator when problems arise. The only person he’s not on the best of terms with and actively dislikes is Macaque :/ but perhaps that’ll change

(Anyways sorry not sorry for the lore dump but this man is my pride and joy for this fandom lmao, feel free to ask questions about him anytime I will def answer!)

[melliotwrites]

hi melliot! (ghost story was wonderful, congrats & thank you!) was wondering if you could elaborate more on the possession thing! mostly:

1. if once józef gets "killed" by joey, is joey posessing józef's body 24/7 or is it a momentary on/off thing?

2. @"killed" version of józef: at the end of <i breathe in, you breathe out>, he becomes tangible to hao again (yayyy)- is this him re-possessing his body, or just becoming like. a very corporeal ghost?

Yes and no! It seems like 24/7 to Hao because his and Józef's world operates on a "when Joey and Anthony aren't looking at it, time doesn't move" rule, at least until Hao gains more sentience and starts crossing the past/present divide the other way (I Breathe In, You Breathe Out etc). When Joey is talking to Anthony, Hao doesn't really perceive huge gaps in Józef's attention or anything. This is also the rule that allows them to "freeze" the real Hao and Józef in their fleeting joy at the end -- by removing our attention then, their timeline can't advance.

Józef becomes a very corporeal ghost! It's basically whatever part of Józef isn't his physical body -- the parts Joey keeps messing up. He can't reclaim his body until Joey leaves it voluntarily after the fire conversation.
