#oh yeah ao lie is here

[lavaflowe]

One of my favorite chapters, makes me laugh everytime

Like imagine drinking from this random river gets you pregnant and then you have to drink this other water to get rid of it and THEN you have the worst bowel movement of your LIFE and you’re never the same

Lego Monkie Kid Rewatch: Season 3

Episode 9, The King, the Prince, the Shadow Part 2/2

"Does anyone else feel like-" "We've been here before? Yeah. Its weird, right? But- I ah- know I haven't." "Me neither. And yet this place feels so familiar." "Nah. Not me, man. This is all new to me."

Remember when I said that a lot of characters keep wrongly comparing MK to Wukong, like MK is supposed to be the next Wukong. Well…. that wasn't just at the characters. That was at us the fans too. Up until this season, I too just thought of MK as the next Monkey King. It just felt right. Pigsy was Zhu Bajie, Tang Tang Sanzang, Mei as Ao Lie, and Sandy as Sha Wujing. Simplistically, I assumed MK was supposed to be this new version's Monkey King. But he's not. He's not like the rest. He's not part of their story- at least he wasn't supposed to be.

MK was never meant to be here... to experience this, or them. And this season is when the show really starts opening our eyes to it.

(Also… I think this proves pretty definitively that Sandy is not the still alive Sha Wujing. With his flashback in To Catch a Leaf, I was so sure. I mean, look at those old looking weaponry?!)

(But unless Sha Wujing has amnesia that conveniently lets him forget the Samadhi Fire incident, than he really is just the reincarnation instead of the original.)

"It is on brand for you to have a worse version of everyone elses powers."

Ouch. Also… is this a hint at Macaque having been a clone of Wukong once upon a time? Like, in Shadow Play, Macaque chooses to feature a lot of Wukong and his clones for some reason, especially when speaking of the Warrior and Hero being a team. Strangely, some of those clones look an awful lot like Macaque.

Or could this be a hint at season 5 where its revealed Macaque's shadow powers are more like certain other being who shall not be named for sake of spoilers?

Loud Annoying Wukong: "What? You got what you wanted, didn't you? Not going to gloat, monologue a little bit before scurrying off to your master?"

Inner Panicking Wukong: "Ah drat! He's totally gonna know those are fake. Quick! I gotta distract him into wasting more time!"

"Wukong!"

I'm pretty sure that's Ne Zha's favourite word. He says it almost every second. Might even be his catch phrase.

"Oh, so the piece of paper just magically made a bunch of light!" "That's exactly what happened and you know it!"

Ah, I love these two.

"Stop! If you hurt that kid I'll-" "What. Make things worse for MK?"

Like I said last time, bad hero, good mentor. He cares about MK more than anything else right now. This same kind of protective passion has happened before, back in the Journey to the West. Wukong is good at devoting himself to one person, and tolerating everyone else for the sake of that person.

"Glowy mystic symbol thingies are always never good!"

Proceeds to touch said glowy mystic symbol thingies.

AWWWW! Tang trying to protect Mei!

I love the majority of the adults in this show. They do their best to help the kiddos and protect them, even when those kiddo's are typically more powerful than them. Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy understand that young one's always need to be cared for.

THIS SHOT THIS SHOT THIS SHOT!

I totally missed this shot the first time around! OH MY GOSHNESS SANDY I LOvE YOU!

Once again Macaque forgets about Mei.

I'm starting to see why she and Macaque were put in a team together in season 4. She is, strangely enough, his blind spot.

And once again I am shaking my head at the way the show treated Macaque's supposed redemption arc. Look at the way he's treating her, the way he's treating them all! The fear and pain he causes them!

Bashes MK repeatedly into the ground until he is unconscious.

Threatens Mei's life while holding her by the throat.

Forces the parental figures to watch their kids get ruined.

Forces Tang to choose the life of his friends over the sake of the world.

The trauma this guy is causing them- and they just never bring it up? Mei should have held the largest grudge Katara style until Macaque made it up to her! Tang should be absolutely afraid to go near Macaque after the moral trauma the simian caused him. Pigsy should throw a spoon at him every time he darkens his door way with all his ping pong master might. Sandy should constantly keep Macaque between himself and the kids as a protective barrier everytime the shadow comes around.

Until Macaque makes it up to them, apologizes and tries to do right by them all... they should have continued to treat him with fear, anger, and wariness.

"But he was under LBD control' you say. 'He had no choice."

No he wasn't. This threatening, this danger he puts them in? That was for his own gain. Macaque wanted the Samadhi Fire to escape LBD. He was in control of his actions here. He was going to take the power needed to break her control over him and then dip, leaving the mortals to parish under LDB's rule. Sure, he was probably in pain and obviously scared for his life- but that doesn't excuse the choices he made and the trauma he caused.

It's like Macaque said last episode. You have to look out for yourself, no one else.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Ok pregnant! Wukong in the Journey is officially hilarious, especially with Macaque there. Like... his whole deal is being a jealous mate who thinks these random strangers got his husband pregnant, and once he realizes its asexual, he's immediately like, "I don't care who you are nor do I like you, but this is MY mate and cub and I'm gonna protect them!!"

Yeah in the au where Macaque learns about the "Egg" early on, he first thinks "Oh sweet buddha, who did this to you!?" cus he's panicking and he certainly wasn't there when it was concieved, and he knows Wukong wouldn't be unfaithful even if they had been separated.

He instead attacks Zhu Bajie first, knowing him as the former Marshal Tianpeng who harassed Chang'e, he looks like a scumbag anyway. The pig demon is very confused.

Zhu Bajie, blocking Mac's attack with his rake: "Hey! What's this all about!?" Macaque, furious: "For getting my mate pregnant!" Zhu Bajie: *pauses* "...ok bub, Imma need a clear picture on who your mate is. This pig has raked a number of different married fields before." Macaque: *furious war cry!* *even more furious fighting ensues* Wukong, appearing on the scene: "What's going on- PLUMS!?" Macaque: "Peaches! Is this demon or any other of your diciples responsible for your unborn child?" Wukong, offended huff: "NO, and I'm mad that you'd think that way. In a manner of speaking; no one is responsible... Except you for leaving me alone under that mountain for nearly 500 years!" Macaque: *processing... remembers what Gibbon and Baboon told him about the other way a Stone Monkey can reproduce* Macaque: "OH!" Wukong: "Yeah, oh." Macaque: "I... I done goofed up and got you pregnant by not feeding you peaches when you were under there, right!? Wukong: "yES." Macaque, sheaths weapon and relaxes: "Ok. I'm taking full responsibilty, I'm not letting these monks make you fight for them when you're in this condition." Wukong, touched: "That's... kind of you. But it's technically not your baby, remember?" Macaque, drops to knees while holding Wukong's hand: "It is if you will have me back." Wukong: *fully rizzed up* "Oh..." The rest of the Pilgrims: "..." Zhu Bajie: "Phew! For once I'm glad the ape's pregnant!" Macaque & Wukong: *shoot Zhu Bajie a deadly glare."

And ofc cue the Pilgrims gaining a new party member in the form of the Six Eared Macaque, aka; "No, I'm not the Monke- actually... yes I am. That ought to keep people from gossiping about the Wukong's condition."

Because the Pilgrims (barring the quiet Ao Lie) aren't really given much insight into how the Stone Egg forms, they legit assume Macaque is the baby's father + Wukong's estranged husband/mate who's just learned about it.

Macaque doesn't like these guys that much, but he's only here to protect Wukong and their child. If that Tang Monk tries pulling that headache spell again, Mac will rip his tongue out so he can no longer speak it.

Both monkeys are super cuddly once Macaque stops being in the monkey doghouse for attempting a monk coup.

[starsfic]

Rewatched S4E5 and decided to write out my first draft of Ao Lie returning in the Statue Seal AU.

-_-

The ink cleared and he gasped for air.

Real air. He was breathing in real air. Inside the world of memory, the air inside had a certain staleness to it, tinged with a flavor that he had come to recognize as dust-covered ink. This air didn't taste like that. Instead, it tasted sweet, almost too sweet, tinged with the salt of the sea and the gritty texture of... sand?

Ao Lie opened his eyes.

Yeah, yeah, that was sand he was holding. Perfect golden sand. He could hear the calm splash of the waves. Ao Lie barely managed to roll over and nearly fell over again.

Oh gods, had the sun always been this bright?!

The sun inside the scroll had always felt dim, showing how it was a mimicry of the real sun. Except now his eyes were dying because he was used to the dim sun-

A hand wrapped over his eyes, blocking out the sun, as another arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him close, steadying him. "Easy, little brother," a familiar- this couldn't be real- voice crooned. "Easy, little brother, I'm sorry, I should've figured out a better place to do this."

"You can't be real," Ao Lie managed out. One of his hands released the sand to grip the hand holding him. Soft fur, the fur he remembered admiring so much, met his fingers. His body shook, and he was almost embarrassed by the sob that followed. "You're dead."

There was the noise of something running before a gentle hand, even with the calluses, pressed against his face. "He's not dead, Grandpa," the strange girl, the girl with the monk, the girl with his father's sword, said. She sounded near tears. "He's not dead, he's here, you gotta believe me-"

And he had to with that plead, didn't he?

"I believe you," he managed to croak out.

Wukong- Wukong, Wukong, Wukong- spoke again, but it seemed aimed at the girl as he shifted and moved around. "Xiaojiao, I think he's in shock. Can you-"

"Yeah, yeah, I got him."

And Ao Lie found himself on his feet.

He had to open his eyes at that, first looking to his right. The girl smiled at him, those green curls framing her face, looking so much like his sister that it hurt. He barely managed a shaky smile back. He glanced to his left and his heart skipped a beat.

Wukong. His eldest brother in arms. His friend. His crush.

He smiled at him and Ao Lie knew everything was alright.

Moodboards for @camhues

So, I've been getting a bit bored with my life lately and decided I needed to do something to get busy. My art skills are killing me and I'm trying to practice but I gave up for a while. Then I'm scrolling through Tumblr and admiring everyone's amazing OC's and I wish I could draw like them and some of them are underrated more than should be so...Why not just celebrate them ?! I can't for my own life draw anything good but what I can do is find good aesthetic choices and I love making moodboards and such for characters. So that's what I'm doing for OC's of people who need more attention ! Today we are starting with the beautiful and talented @camhues. If you don't know them, she is a artist of Tumblr mostly known for her LMK OC's and does a lot of doodles with them. And she makes only women and OH MY GOD, THESE ARE THE MOST GORGEOUS WOMEN IN MY LIFE AHH- Enough, I need to get on. She has a lot and I did one for all of them ! (Sheesh-) Or at least the ones I know. So Here's the Moodboards for them and a quick summary of what I think of them.

First off, Mama Jun. Her main OC from what I know and sort of a mother figure to MK and a reincarnation like Pigsy and Tang. Um, she's so gorgeous. I want that braid and the simplistic design works in her favor because there is something so simple and charming about her when I look at her. Also, her Mama-Son bond with MK is adorable-

Then there is Daiyu who from what I know is a Plant-Controller Demoness...or something ? Oh, and she's shipped with Red Son and their name is RedJade. Not as simplistic as Jun but it works in her favor here because she could step on me and I wouldn't be offended. Just let me smell the roses you grow, Daiyu !

Next here is Ling who is a Jade Maiden and is probably one of my current favorites. One of the simpler designs which I love and the lore behind her is also something I wanna find out. Her aesthetic was something I struggled with but it worked out. And as for who she is dating, it is unclear as Cam said she could be with one of three characters. Azure, Wukong or Macaque- I think she and Azure would be really cute-

Here we have Miss Suyin, secretary to the Spider Queen and Resident Mommy according to those who repost her- That's why I added that 'Mommy, sorry-' picture, I couldn't skip the joke. This woman is one of the many reasons I like women with glasses and she's a spider and her 4 eyes look cool-

Another one of my favorites, Baozhu. A Monkey Painter who is someone who I really wanna exist in real life so I can touch her fur and hair because it looks so fluffy ! I mean, look at this girlie ! She's FLOOFY ! I wanna touch the floof ! <333

And now we have domineering Lady in Ao Jiang who from that name I believe is somehow related to Ao Lie ? And is part of Mei's family ? I don't know that much yet but yeah, I love this one. Also, the little jewels hanging from her horns ? *Chef's kiss*

Space Lady Polaris who is giving me stars in my eyes for how cute she looks alone. She looks like someone who would be waiting in my dreams so I could just talk to her. I don't wanna burden her with my troubles though-

Brave Knight of the Falling Stars Asterius who I think might be related to Polaris in some way. They are both Space related in a way. I wonder if there is a connection ? But I love how she looks. She seems like a tomboy and I love tomboy characters :)

Lychee, Oh Lychee, how I tried to do justice for you ! But your aesthetic was something I couldn't nail down much. But at least I added real Lychee's for your sake and put some baking and wrestling into it. Please don't hit me...Or you can. You're gorgeous as you are friking intimidating. For a wrestler and a baker anyway.

Meihua who is honestly one of the most wholesome characters I have seen in a while. She gives me hopeless romantic vibes which I tried to add in here. The flowers for his florist work as well and mainly pink for this one because it matches her hair. Younger me would've loved her while current me thinks she's a lovable character who needs protection.

This woman, however, doesn't need protection as she can use her heels to murder her way through the crowd. Xin Yan, everyone. An evil woman who is gorgeous and she knows it. I heard she was a dancer and singer and the owner of a nightclub so that inspired this a lot. Xin Yan looks like she could kill me with a stare...and I would thank her for it.

Zhenzhu who I don't know much about but damn I really wanna give her a hug because she looks so sad in this picture. She's a handmaiden from what I know for the Empress of Heaven. HOW IS SHE A HANDMAIDEN WITH THE LOOKS OF A GODDESS ??

Chenguang is the ancestor of Jun who once went on the Journey to the West disguised as a man. Her aesthetic was hard to nail down but I eventually went for one that has themes of independence, journeys and outdoor backgrounds.

Ehuang who I thought was another version of Wyldfyre from Ninjago: Dragons Rising. If I didn't know she couldn't control fire, I would've thought fire would be her entire thing. That's why I added boiling water. Along with potions and lots of red.

And last of the OC'S, Chyou ! Who I really don't know much about except for the fact she is an Egret Celestial. So she's graceful as the bird itself and as beautiful as it as well. She is really lovely and the flowers in her hair are a nice touch <3 And that's all the OC's belonging to @camhues ! Or at least the ones I know. If I missed anything, I apologize and I'll make one for them on another day. But for now, have this. These were so much fun to make ! :)

Also, Cam, if you are looking at this, this is for you:

This moodboard is for you ! Don't take this the wrong way but you give me Chaotic Academia vibes- That's not an insult ! I'm sorry, your art is lovely and should be viewed by everyone ! Maybe I'll do this again but I don't know yet. I have to find time to do so. For now, have these gorgeous women ! And guys, please go and take a look as Cam's stuff. They are a very talented artist with a unique style and just a lot of women who you will grow to love ! For now, I'm Vee and I'll see you later when I can :D

All these beautiful characters belong to @camhues (Do not steal from her)

[prettybluebro]

I don't know why but I don't see anyone talking about how MK is supposed to be Sun Wukong's replacement. Like, his reincarnation. I mean, come on. Pigsy is supposed to be Zhu Bajie, Sandy is supposed to be Sha Wujing, Tang is supposed to be Tang Sanzang and Mei is supposed to be Ao Lie. Yeah, she's Ao Lie's descendant, but it still counts. MK came out from the same Stone Egg as Sun Wukong, he has his powers, abilities and everything, plus the fact that he's ALSO a monkey. Oh, and the show mentioning/implying multiple times about how he's supposed to be like him as well?? So, why isn't there any theories how he's supposed to be his reincarnation? He would be if it weren't for Sun Wukong being immortal, imagine if he wasn't and he lets things go as should, didn't mess with fate and joins his friends in the afterlife. MK would be his reincarnation and replacement.

EDIT: I am NOT trying to say that MK should be SWK's replacement or that he is SWK's replacement. I'm saying that he WOULD, keyword; WOULD, be SWK's replacement if he was not immortal and followed the natural rules of life and death. The whole point of LEGO Monkie Kid is that MK is his own person and not anyone else. Did you not try to read it all before commenting? My points of them being the crew's replacements?? Hellooo??? I'm not just talking about MK here so it's not hard to think that, "Oh, OP is clearly talking about the whole crew being similar and alike to the past crew!" and not go, "Ughh, here we go again. Another LMK fan talking about MK supposedly being SWK's replacement nonsense again!!" I know that it's a bit hard to understand cause this was written at like 3 in the morning. Give me a break and try to understand, good god.

Thank you and that is all.

@anxious-anon-time sorry for being late, was really busy this weekend

I'm very sorry this is 2 weeks late, had to board a plane, then was relaxing on Vacay, then had to catch up in school the next week

"What do you think of the Ink Scroll arc"

I absolutely stinking loved it.

Now here's the essay you ask for (or didn't, I just want to write an essay)

1. Love the foreshadowing/self awareness. Ex. When MK says "Maybe this the part of our journey where things get DARKEE" the poor boy- also love how the word Journey was used, foreshadowing how it was about the Journey to the West

2. Everyone had good arcs, except Pigsy? Like, MK beautiful, Meis opposite nature to Ao Lie, lovely, Sandy fighting the monster allegations, been his trauma since the beginning (when he references he's changed since meeting Pigsy last), showcasing the difference between Tang and Tripitaka qns for Tang to get more development?! Woo!!! But Pigsy?? Having the same plot/character development of Sandy, where being a monster doesn't matter Yada Yada Yada, it just didn't make sense.

There was no part beforehand where Pigsy EVER questioned that part of him, unlike Sandy who's been afraid of hurting someone, yes I enjoyed the episode, the Cook references from previous (and also Freenoodle crumbs) were amazing. What I wish they had done was something like Pigsy questioning his family, or chosen family in this case. THEY EVEN WENTOF THEIR WAY TO MAKE THE "MONKEY KINGS NOT MY DAD PIGSY IS" MOMENT. Like- I just Pigys arc was more family/friend centered, definitely would compliment whatever jumbo shrimp mess MK had going on

3. Talking bout MK- the trauma and angst were GORGEOUS we love it. My boy been through so much. And we learned more of his past?! The theorists were going CRAZY. Love the Sunburst and Soysauce moment, MMMMMMMM, this boy needs to stop trusting people so quickly oh my gosh AZURE WHEN I CATCH YOU-

4. Really good villain. Love how they went with a villain who thought HE was the hero, and main character I guess lol. Was he a turned villain? Yes but he was a good one! Kinda wish the foreshadowing was better, instead of that one episode where Tang just watched and realized it. He's a complex character, who just wanted to help people, and yeah his ambition wasn't even bad, the Jade Emperor isn't great even, but he took it too far

5. Great job yall, you guys made a character everyone hates, Peng, Revalis brother from another mother

6. Yellow Tusk was ehhh, wish we saw more of his character, seemed interesting, loved his loyalty

7. Now LMK is very special from other shows I've watched he'd because well, I'm willing to rewatch many episodes, even if I know what will happen, I tend to not rematch ANYTHING because of this problem, but LMK is just different. For some reason the Scroll arc is the exception, I like it, but for some reason I don't see myself rewarching it, don't know why

8. Ink MK was a beloved, his voice?! Design?!? DIALOG AND SPEECH PATTERN!?!? BRILLIANT. really love all Ink people moments, mostly just Ink MK, and Wukong.

9. Glad Wukong got development, man is facing the consequences of his actions and its really getting him, I'm glad he's getting really good development.

10. Master Subodhi. Do I need to say more?! Loved him dearly. Wish he and Wukong remet. :( liked his character very much, I like how he wasn't even real in the Scroll and still had omniscient abilities. My only question was what else did he know?! On that note, is anyone going to talk about how the girl is just, like immortal?! The Acolyte as yall call her. Now I don't think Subodhi just GIVES out immortality, I feel like he saves it for special people, like Wukong, no I have theories and headcannons for her but that's another day.

Also I'm a suckered for any JTTW character appearance. LMK GIVE ME ERLANG SHEN, GOLD STAR OF VENUS, GUANYIN, ANY OF NEZHAS BROTHERS, AND MY LUFE IS YOURSSSSS

11. The only thing I can think of left is how in the world did the Scroll worked?!? Like, it didn't teleport them to the past, I've been making a simulator almost? But then why does the characters inside feel so real, and how did Wukong trap Peng and Yellow Tusk, and where and hwt have they been doing?! AND HOW DOES THE OMNISCIENT POWER OF SUBHODI WORK. MAN CANT HAVE THAT MUCH PLOT REASONS POWER. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE HOW DID THEY GET THE OLD PILGRIMS WEAPONS LAST TIME I CHECKED TRIPITAKAAS STAFF WSS IN WUKONGS CAVE

[imminent-danger-came]

tbh you are so real for talking about the misogyny targeted to mei & other women in the lmk fandom. in general its like people only value mei as: a: the wingman to some basic mlm ship or b: macaque 2.0. its honestly crazy how so many male side characters overshadow her in the fanbase despite not even having a FRACTION of her screen time. idk chat i feel like the reason people dont care about mei but care about some random male side/background character is less because they're inherently more likeable but because some of you view women as inherently less likable. and everyone is always like "mei is so girlboss pussy cunt slay shes the only reason theyre still alive because she keeps them safe from their silly boy shennanigans shes their ultimate wingman shes so badass shes their lesbian best friend i totally paid attention to her when i watched this show LOL" and even ignoring the obvious misogyny here (ie. how people reduce her to being the male characters babysitter) its like... okay... i know mei is cool & badass already... could you name literally ANY other character trait she has. like people just value her as being "the braincell" who can get red son and mk together or something stupid and its like are we having fun still is this still fun. literally every day i go into the mei tag its like "look at mei shes red sons wifey and shes vaguely in the background of this drawing of red son and mk staring into each others eyes #trafficlighttrio am i right oh look shes macaques niece now this post is about ao lie why is it in the mei tag"

and thats literally JUST talking about mei and it doesnt even begin to cover the other female characters. chang'e constantly gets reduced to being red sons aunt/mom/big sister despite them like. not having any actual interactions in the show. lady bone demon constantly gets overshadowed by her minion who has like 2 seconds of screen time, or she gets made into a cartoonishly abusive madwoman who people call lady bitch demon. just in general people act like shes a horrible person for like. being a villain. liks yeah the trying to destroy everything was bad but also she was an antagonist and thats what antagonists do LOL. spider queen gets completely ignored. princess iron fan gets made into a cartoonishly abusive mother so that way red son can have a poor angsty backstory and some male character (usually nezha, macaque, swk) can take care of him.

(also theres just a great deal of ethnocentrism in the lmk fanbase? like im white so take what İ say here with a grain of salt but so many people will misconstrue aspects of chinese culture for their own personal hcs. people will say male characters are transfem or nonbinary while completely ignoring the time period/culture their from where thats the norm. like yippee youve implied that an east asian man is feminine/emasculine because he has long hair. how do you not see the negative connotations with this. people also turn pif (& lbd to an extent) into a dragon lady which obviously has negative racial connotations lol.)

anyway this is where my unhinged rambling ends have a good day have a good night İ had more to say here but İ reached the text limit. İ dont see a lot of people talk about the misogyny thats prevalent in the lmk fanbase so İm glad youre pointing it out lol.

Yeah, I totally hear you. The lmk fandom has plenty of issues with misogyny and, like you said, ethnocentrism. It's definitely something worth having a discussion about, along with these issues in fandom as a whole.

[fluffypotatey]

When you realize Ao Lie probably had kids for the Samadhi Fire to be passed down...*stares at uncle Wukong and the traumatizing horrors of him learning this.*

*LEAPS UP* WHEN YOU REALIZE AO LIE HAVING KIDS MEANS MACKY PROBABLY DIDNT KILL THE PILGRIMS?????? oh relief, but between S4-5 bringing up Mei's fire and Wukong focusing on the green dragon origami...ooooh we are IN for some open backstory here c'mon!!

YEAH WE ARE SO GETTING BACKSTORY!!! lmk cannot just show this

and just leave it hanging like that!!!!! no, nO, NO! we have been teased relentlessly over this dragon since s1 (Mei and her sword, the whole samadhi Fire plot—anon, how dare you make me imagine Wukong realizing that his best friend’s children must also carry the ring inside them— and then s4) like. come on

LMK GIVE US FHE AO LIE LORE!!!!! *shaking you* GIVE IT TO ME

[weebsinstash]

*sighs as I add the yandere Batfam to my Blorbo list* do y'all ever have such a genuinely unsatisfying life and childhood you start for whatever reason vicariously living through age regression ideas where you're literally raised by other people

Like imagine you're a superhero/vigilante but you're fairly small time and you've actually bumped into Batman a handful of times and, he actually likes you, your heart is in the right place, and through some wacky villain shenanigans or some Lazarus Pit fuckery, you get zapped by a ray gun or hit wirh a spell or "resurrected wrong" and suddenly Bruce has to deal with a de-aged you, a teenager without their adult memories and aged back to before you developed your skills or your metagene that gave you your powers

And here's Batman already shoving adopted children into his pockets like breadsticks at olive garden "oh no, ANOTHER orphan/kid with a horrible childhood in need of a home? Whatever shall we do. Oh no my hand slipped and I already texted Alfred to prepare a room to stay and oh no my Waynazon shopping list is suddenly full of new furniture and gifts and clothes and i already emailed Dick and Barabaras university so you can get a better education and oh wow just what is going on this is so weird"

Alfred standing by with his dry wit whenever Reader gets hormonal or does typical teenager things "ah yes, yelling 'I hate you' and slamming doors, I definitely didn't have enough of this experience raising you, Master Wayne" but like he adores it really, we all know this man is a caretaker at heart and as someone who 'knew you before' st least through what Bruce has told him, he's happy to help give you a better life

Of course then complications arise whenever Reader gets her memory back (and potentially extremely pissed she was kept as a child and literally no attempts, none, zero, nada, zilch attempts were made to turn her back to normal) and she's like "ok well I'm mentally an adult again but I'm still in a kids body, let's try and turn me back and then I can be a real adult again" and the entire batfamily is just "OR, hear me out, OR. You could stay here though? And if you wanna be a crimefighter you should at least stay with us but like its jusr ao dangerous though what if you got hurt 🥺" IF they let you return to hero work at all but let's be real, if you did, I think Bruce would be so proud to put a little bat symbol or R or whatever on your uniform cause it's like, awwww bonding, everyone's gonna know you're his lil protege 🥰

And imagine Reader goes to confront Bruce about this whole thing and you just start bawling because "was I just such a pathetic loser before that you wanted to change everything about me" and like he did the whole thing with good intentions but, YEAH he did absolutely lie to you and kind of shape you a little for the few years you were "raised" by him and you're standing there with your new clothes and your new haircut and all the hobbies he's paid for and the education he's paid for and all the new things you've learned and can do because he had the resources to give them to you and you're wondering what was so unlikable about you before that he doesnt want you to be that person again, to be the person you've always known and lived your life as

Suffice to say he isn't going to turn you back at all and if you have to "return to your old self" by literally naturally aging back to your "original age" then so be it. You've got an entire mansion filled with your loving 'family' and you're happy and you're healthy and really, maybe you're just being anxious and scared and all it will take is time for you to adjust and see that all of them know what's best. Amd if you never do adjust and you're just kept around anyways, well, it doesn't make much of a difference to them. Hell, maybe they'll find a hero or villain or magic user who can, you know, maybe make you forget all about the life you had before, completely wipe your head until only the Wayne family, your family, is left

Really, Bruce would consider it just to hear you call him 'Dad' again

[novelcain]

You may be into this character from JTTW because,

Sun wukong: you just love adding layers and complexities to an allegory

Tang San Zhang: you love vanilla and cinnamon buns

Zhu bajie: it’s a relief that you don’t f up as much as this guy.

Sha Wujing: you like your men BIG and silent

Macaque: this is the same as Sun Wukong but more bad boy.

Ao Lie: you’re a horse girl.

P.S.

Since I learned you’re Native American, I imagine the reader looking like Elora from the Hulu show Reservation Dogs cause much like Elora ,this reader is very responsible and driven.

----

Lmaooo you're not wrong but still 🤫 /j

I also like how you put Macaque before Ao Lie even though Ao Lie is actually a part of the group while Macaque is just a villain that Wukong kills 🤣🤣🤣

(Also this took me a couple days to respond to because you mentioned Reservation Dogs and my thought process was as follows: "Holy shit Reservation Dogs! Wait didn't I only watch like a few episodes when it first came out and then got distracted and forgot it existed? What did I get distracted by again? No! That does matter! Reservation Dogs! Stay focused Skittle. How many episodes are in it again? Let's see it's on Hulu so ima just pull that up. Ah! Here it is! IT HAS 2 SEASONS NOW!!?!?!?!?" *binges the whole thing* "Oh shit the submission!"

So yeah long story short, love Reservation Dogs. I kin SO fuckin hard with Willie Jack it ain't even funny.

I can also see Reader being similar to Elora now that I think about it🤔)

[docwritesshit]

Hi 👋how about Ao Li x Reader

MY SOOOOOONNNNN

Ofc! And I wrote a little one shot just for you :3

You sighed as you sat down in the little armchair next to your window, sipping from the tea in the cup as you felt the sun creep up into the early morning sky. You smiled at the view from your spot. Nestled somewhat deep in the woods, was your little cottage. Surrounded by wild but maintained plants which feed you, a creek a few feet away from your window ran by, giving you plenty of fresh water.

It was cozy, your little piece of content. Your little heaven. You rarely get any people coming across your humble home, your family not really in contact with you as they ventured out years ago leaving you with the family’s estate.

Was it a big transition? Yes, it was. But you made the best of it.

But what was a bigger one was housing a monk, and his rather curious disciples.

You were glad you stockpiled on your rations as they feasted on your supply rather quickly. You made sure they didn’t even peek at your secret stash hidden from prying eyes.

You chuckled to yourself, recalling the shock you had when you saw their little horse transform into a lovely young man, whom you thought was quite adorable.

Speak of the devil.

A yawn made your ears perk up, and you glanced over your shoulder to see the young horse dragon man shuffle out of one of the spare bedrooms, rubbing his eyes free of the sleep that still lingered in them.

You smiled softly, getting up from your seat and walking over.

“Good morning Ao Lie, might I interest you in some tea?” You asked. Ao Lie yawned again, and gave a small nod.

“Mhm, if that won’t be a bother.” He mumbled out. You chuckled, leading him over to your armchair for him to wait and wake up a bit in the sun.

You poured the herbal drink into a new cup, humming softly to yourself. When you made your way back over to where Ao Lie sat, you saw him look out the window, his eyes full of wonder and admiration. And you stared at him, eyes catching how his scales reflected the light, becoming a little iridescent. His eyes seemed like small ponds, holding a thousand suns.

His horns looked like sea glass, with the sun refracting off of it. You cleared your throat when you caught yourself staring a bit too long.

He jerked his head in your direction, and a cute smile spread across his lips.

“Thank you!” He cheered, then stopped himself.

“Oh sorry, the others are still sleeping aren’t they?” He pointed out. You giggled, and handed him the cup.

“I’d assume so, you all looked rather ragged when you came across me.” You said. Ao Lie giggled at that, and nodded.

“Yeah, we were! Can’t get a lot of peace when you’re attacked by demons every few days.” He joked. Though, you could see the weight in his shoulders, the deadness in his eyes. You raised an eyebrow.

“How long have you been on this journey?” You asked. The young man seesawed his hand a bit.

“Eh, seven years now?” He replied. You felt your jaw go slack, and quickly closed it.

“And you haven’t been off the road?”

“Nope! Gotta get those scrolls!” He smiled, but it was pained. You soften your gaze, and put a hand on his shoulder.

“I’m glad you can rest for now,” You stated. Ao Lie froze under your touch, but returned your smile. He looked back out the window, his Snow White hair cascading past his shoulders

“It’s nice to rest, but I hope to find peace after this. Buddha knows I'm not going back to my river, I like being in the sun too much.”

“Maybe I'll build a cottage for myself like this, like how you have it. Maybe finally settle down and smell the flowers as they say.” He remarked. You smiled.

“Why not come back here?” You suggested.

The man sputtered, waving his arms around.

“What!? Me!?! I couldn’t, I wouldn’t want to intrude-“ He reasoned. You laughed, wiping a stray tear from your eye.

“I was partly joking Ao Lie. It’s nice here, but you get lonely more often than you would think.” You commented. He raised an eyebrow.

“You seem so content though.” He said. You sighed a bit, tracing your forefinger on the lip of your cup.

“I am, but my family used to live with me until they went off to start a new life. I didn't come with them, someone had to stay home. I didn't mind it, but I do get lonely at times.” You explained. Ao Lie tilted his head a bit, his expression curious

“You wouldn’t mind if I come back? And be here?” He questioned. You smiled a bit, taking another sip of you tea, and pulled a face when you realized it cooled down a bit too much.

“Oh, allow me.” He said, taking the cup from you and blew into it, a plume of emerald green flames shooting from his lips. You stared in wonder as he handed the cup back to you with a sheepish smile on his face.

“I hope it's not too hot.” He commented. You chuckled, letting the cup warm up your hands

“To your question,” You started off. Ao Lie looked at you with an expectant gaze as you cracked a grin.

“I think you’ll be just fine here.”

[quitealotofsodapop]

Mei is both proud and very unhappy with the grounding. True, she didn't know her little buddy was actually Sun Wukong's son until about ten minutes ago, but her parents got to meet her little brother figure, and they think he's adorable! Wukogn makes sure to warn them of potential baby layers, tho, new powers and all. Luckily, that's not something new to the Ao Long household considering how Mei holds a certain Ring.

That conversation has to be one of the msot awkward Wukong has ever had up to that point tho, calling up Ao Lie's great granddaughter to tell her that her daughter, whom she hadn't even realized knew him, had gotten his son, who nobody even knows he has, into a bit of trouble and now DBK is free and all the parents to the kids involved in freeing him are coming together for a tea party to figure out, essentially, what's next.

Wukong, astral projecting: Hello, yes, Mrs. Long? Lovely to speak face to face, I knew your grandfather you know, but that's not why I'm calling. Um, so it's about your daughter.

Yi Li: What!?

Wukong, getting nervous: Uh... yeah, see, she and my kid have gotten pretty close. Mr. Tang is his tutor, you see, and they tend to have their lessons at the Noodle Shop she works at. Well, I let Mei take my little Xiaotian out with her for some of her delivery runs aaaand... next thing I know, the Demon Bull King is free.

Ye Li, already suspecting: Oh no... dont tell me, it was her!?

Wukong: From what I understand of the events, she was pretty involved and stuff... so do you mind coming over for some tea with me and the Demon Bull Family so we can kinda... figure out our next steps? They've called a bit of a truce for now after meeting my kid.

Ye Li: Of course! Just give us a few minutes to clear our schedule and we'll be right over... oh and please tell my daughter she's grounded.

Wukong: Alright then! See you there! *turns to unseen person as he begins to fade out* Hey Mei your mom says-

prev post. @soniclozdplove;

+an earlier ask;

Ao Yi and Long Cháo have long accepted that their baby girl is a lot more... firey than a normal water dragon pup. But they never believed in locking her up or forcing her to suppress her boundless energy.

So when Mei came to them wanting to get a part-time job as a delivery job so she could have "real life" experience, they were fully supportive.

They think it's really cute how she's bonded with her boss and some of the regulars. Mei especially mentions a little demon monkey named MK who's obsessed with the Monkey King, and is about to become a big brother. The Ao-Long's only met MK and "Mr Qi" once when they decided to visit Mei at her work. The little boy was so excited about going to school and becoming a big brother - even though "she's taking a long time." Mr Qi just laughed and explained that he was a little overdue. The dragon couple thought the two were an adorable parent and child, but Ao Yi swears she recognises Mr Qi from somewhere...

Wukong, astral projecting in: "Heeeeyyyy Mrs Long." Ao Yi: "Sun Wukong? Why, I haven't seen you since I was a pup. What brings you here today?" Wukong, stalling a bit: "Well it's about Mei- she's not in trouble don't worry! Well maybe a little in trouble... she was doing a delivery when she and her little stowaway came across my Staff and DBK's resting site. Iron Fan and Red Son included." Ao Yi, going pale: "She didn't." Wukong: "She didn't - but Red Son did. And then MK managed steal it off of him. Mei grabbed him and bolted before any fighting could happen but they got chased." Ao Yi, frustrated and worried: "Oh sweet- Cháo! Our daughter somehow helped release an ancient demon king!" Long Cháo, running in: "Is she ok!?" Wukong: "Oh yeah she's fine. Nobody got hurt. DBK was a lot more forgiving once he properly met MK-" Long Cháo, piecing together the lore: "Wait isn't that the same MK who gets tutored by Mr Tang? Isn't Mr Qi... pregnant?" Ao Yi, raises brow at Wukong: "Yes. Yes he is." Wukong, laughing nervously: "HAHA! Yeah! Surprise! I uh... have a kid and one on the way. Long story." Ao Yi: "Great-Grandfather did say you had an Egg with you throughout the Journey. I had assumed he was rambling, but this explains so much..." Wukong: "Yeah, I've been keeping it a secret for a long time. Ao Lie was always so protective of me... Anyway, my dao isn't so great right now so I need to wrap this call up. You guys wanna meet up or something to talk about this in-person? I just want my Xiaotian to know some folks connected to the "old gang" now that his powers are developing. Plus DBK needs a lot of history filled in for him." (*the dragon couple share a look and smile*) Ao Yi: "I see no issue in having a few lunch meetings. It's not every day I get to talk about Great-Grandfather's journey." Long Cháo: "Xiaojiao is grounded though, right?" Ao Yi: "Without a doubt."

The familys (+occassionally Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy) start meeting up for brunch afterwards. Ao Yi and PIF are glamourous girl besties the second they meet, and their husbands bond over their difficulties in courting them. Wukong is glad to have people to hang out with outside of FFM, and to rebuild the relationship with his brother and sister-in-law.

Mei house sits the day the parents are all out for dinner. Red Son is still trying to take over the city in a misguided effort to make his parents proud, so attempted sword-theft still occurs and Mei's own dragon abilities start erupting. MK yells with joy at his bestie being a fellow "Superhero!". Red Son gets grounded.

Valentine's Week, Day 5, Fic 1

Summary: The pilgrims take a break next to a meadow full of flowers.

Notes: CW: hinted at transphobia from Zhu Bajie. Yeah I gave Pigsy another reason to hate Zhu Bajie as the parent of a handsome (fanon) trans man.

AO3/Ko-Fi

-_-

"WOW!"

Tang Sanzang looked up at Sun Wukong's call and felt a smile form despite himself. "Oh, how lovely!" A beautiful meadow of wildflowers spread out as far as the eye could see. After weeks of just traveling through farmland and villages, the sight was welcome, if not a little unusual. Sanzang was used to the tame gardens of the emperor's palace or the monastery. "It's nice that you have such an appreciation for nature, disciple."

"I'm not even gonna respond to that," Wukong instead grabbed Ao Lie's reins. "Can we take a quick break here? Ao Lie's looking pretty tired." Sanzang glanced down. The dragon-turned-horse did look a little tired, considering how the in and out of his breathing felt a little quicker under him.

"Hey!" Zhu Bajie said. "I'm tired too!"

"You're not carrying anything," Wukong didn't even look at him. "Please, Master?"

"Alright," Sanzang slipped off Ao Lie's back. By now, he was well-trained in the art of mounting and dismounting. The emperor, who long mourned his lack of grace when it came to riding, would be pleased. "It will be nice to meditate and take in this scenery-" And Wukong was gone, already wading through the flowers. The monk sighed and settled next to Ao Lie, who had transformed into his dragon form and now laid on the road.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing settled next to him, watching as Wukong started to gather flowers. "How unmanly," Bajie scoffed, tapping his fingers against his knee. "He's acting like a maiden with all those flowers."

Sanzang moved to scold, but based on the slap of a hand against skin, Wujing was already beating him to it. "You promised to say nothing about his gender, you ass. And, there's nothing wrong with gathering flowers," the river demon said. "They're beautiful and a good way to relieve stress. Didn't you say that his mountain was heaving with flowers?"

"Yes, but-"

"No buts, Bajie," Wukong was back. Somehow, in the few minutes he had been away, he had an arm full of flowers that he didn't set down until he was sitting across from Sanzang. One cosmos flower was tucked behind his ear. It was an odd choice, considering the flower's meaning and Wukong's personality, but he held his tongue. Wukong actually looked strikingly young at the moment, with flower petals in his short curls and a radiant smile across his features, and he didn't want to ruin his peace. "Otherwise, you're not gonna get a flower crown."

"Ooh!" The sound of magic twisting was before Ao Lie, in all his bubbly glory, rested his chin on Sanzang's shoulder. "May I have one Wukong?!" Wujing was already nodding in agreement while Bajie looked away.

"Yeah!" Wukong was already pulling out flowers, twisting and braiding the stems together. His fingers were nimble and quick, suggesting years of practice. "But I'm making a flower crown for Master first."

Sanzang blinked. "Me first?"

"Yes, you." Wukong glanced up at him, a soft chuckle coming out at whatever expression he had. "It might be a little shabby since it's been a while, but I wanted to make yours first."

Ah. The monk wasn't sure how to respond to that, to any of this. He looked away from Wukong's soft expression, unsure of how to respond to even the way his heart beat in his chest. Before he could figure out something, his hat was pulled off. He looked back in time to see the green settle on his head.

"You look good, Master!"

This had been a bad idea. This was so bad for his heart.

"Thank you, Wukong."
