Ok so I do almost almost ship wukong with the spider girl of 96 adaptation, like they have funny dynamic and I find it cute on that ep where wukong take her to Fruit & Flower mountain ep (I do have gay ship and also SunTang shipper OTP, but I'm also a sucker for straight ship) but after yanyan realize she in love with wukong, she become too obsessive on wukong and try to woo him here and there and im yikesss, but seriously I almost ship them lmao (as side ship only since Suntang already steal my otp heart) if director didnt took into taht obsessive path and "plz say u love me" over & over, I didnt watch 2002 adaptation yet but maybe later i do wanna see that dynamic wukong romance on Zhixia (?) But then again im already super digging on 96 ver aroace wukong becuz I'm always super into aroace character and it always rare to have that

The anon who almost ship wukong x yanyan (2) - as much I'm digging aroace wukong, but I still ship SunTang :) (aroace is still shippable for me ahahah as long they have dynamic going on) honestly the whole moment where yanyan keep ask Bajie do Wukong have anyone special in his heart or fall in love, I keep joking "welp it Sanzang who Wukong always cares about" and then that desert ep came with the most gayest SunTang moment of S1 (even tho it angst but godamn that ep!!) BTW the scene yanyan dress up as Guanyin to woo wukong still make me almost chokes me from laughing so hard, I was having lunch and was drinking then that scene came, I almost chokes myself on that, one of funniest scene for me)

Sorry for the late response! Been a busy week! haha I can’t say I ever shipped Yanyan with Wukong in the 96 series, but I really enjoyed their friendship and the one-sided crush could have just been comic relief, but they used it to make some really good points. Like how if someone doesn’t love you, sometimes it just can’t be changed, and just because someone doesn’t love you romantically doesn’t mean they don’t care for you, and how just because someone loves you romantically doesn’t mean they will forever. Overall the spider arc was written well!

Also I was very deep into SunTang the first time I watched it LOL. Like you said, even putting aside suntang, aroace Wukong is a VERY valid interpretation and incredibly in-line with canon. We’ll always support ace Wukong! Unlike with a lot of other media, it was great to see Wukong’s lack-of-interest-in-women(and sex/romance in general) treated respectfully by the narrative. Even though Bajie got mad at him here and there, the narrative makes us understand that this is who Wukong is and he’s not wrong for being that way even if it’s sad for Yanyan. Either way, 96Wukong just wasn’t straight lmao.

LOL I made the same jokes you did, I remember. The desert scene absolutely killed me. They went so hard for us personally. omg the scene with Yanyan dressing up as Guanyin also destroyed my lungs- there were so many funny scenes in S1 and that was one of them XD
