In “the lie” macaque reincarnating after dying again was brought up and I was wondering how that went for them if it happened. Sorry for confusion!

ohhh, honestly never thought about it. i don’t like sad endings so ultimately think of the best ending possible and that’s what it was. be optimistic! death is not the end, not in the cycle of rebirth.

if they find each other again and have any slivers of their previous lives, why dwell on that? they’re new people now. they have a chance to fall in love and be at peace together. they both did their time. they both paid for what they did. why charge more?

How did lie macaques reincarnation go?

could you rephrase that. i’m so out of the loop on my own lore that i have no idea what you’re talking about

[wu-kongs]

how are you holding up lately?

oh, u know…

actually i came back from oregon not too long ago. it was beautiful there. the air was clear and fresh. everyone drives too slow. the roads are paved so smoothly. i miss it. it also got me sick.

i’ve been sleeping a lot recently. i ended up getting sick the week after i got home lol. per usual i am exhausted.

also like month 15 of trying to get medicated for. ADHD which i’ve been clinically diagnosed with. like duh. of course i have ADHD. you think i would’ve ditched this blog if i didn’t have it??? fork found in the kitchen cmon.

彩云 • rosy clouds

spun at the hands of the heavenly maiden, zhi nu, cai yun was her loyal companion and servant for years upon years. when their lady fell in love with the mortal cowherd, niu lang, cai yun would dutifully cover for zhi nu by taking up her weaving duties in her place, fooling the zhi nu's father, the jade emperor, for many years. upon the discovery for this forbidden love and cai yun's role in it, zhi nu and niu lang were separated by the milky way that the queen mother forced cai yun to weave, and when the deed was done, cai yun was banished to the mortal realm, never to see their beloved lady again.

does cai yun ever interact with any of the main cast?

i guess i haven't really decided yet 🤔 i think i had a train of thought that did involve them meeting MK but i can't remember how it panned out. sun of course would know cai yun but i haven't considered whether i've wanted their paths to really cross

since you can draw does that mean you'll be drawing shadowpeach

oh uh i mean... maybe. i have actually been thinking about wukong in one of my unposted AUs (the utena one if anyone remembers lol) but for now that's about it :'^)

[wu-kongs]

Cai Yun is so pretty! How did you come up with their design?

tbh i don't remember, it's been so long since i conceptualized then that i hardly remember anything on how they came about :^/ i'm pretty sure i made them towards the waning of my interest in LMK though (which i have been constantly trying to rekindle since then lol). thanks!

[wu-kongs]

your oc has one of the most beautiful designs i've ever seen

aw shucks... i'm only sorry i can't do it more justice :'^)

[wu-kongs]

wait you can DRAW?

i think what i can do can only generously be referred to as drawing. what i really do is struggle.

Can I just say how much I love your Ao3 fanfic and how you write stuff, like my favourite thing are the characters dynamics.

My favourite one has to be the one between Macaque and Bai he. I adore how Mac shows his parental side with her (reminding him of how he used to take care of the little monkeys in the past) and that he genuinely worries about her, relating to having bad expierences with Wukong but at the same time being aware that Bai He and MK, despite their similarities, are not Macaque and Wukong. He also cares about her well being like when he goes to see her in their trip to Flower Fruit Mountain and make sure she's alright when Wukong appears, ready to get her out from any uncomfortable situation and ready to jump in when she and Wukong slide if anything goes wrong.

And although Macaque isn't able to help her with her fears reganding Wukong, Bai He comes to him anyway because hes a safe space for her to talk to and thinks he's a good monkey and how baffled is Macaque by her not being scared of him in the slightest. I'm pretty sure Bai He also sees him in a good light like with MK due to him saving her from her fall and gently placing her in the ground in "Destiny Fullfilled", and also due to the fact she was probably watching how LBD treated him in "The Winning Side" and "Benched", fearing for his safety (who knows, maybe getting flashbacks to what happened to the Spider Demons in S2 finale) and feeling in a similar situation as they were both forced to be part of LBD's plan. Plus, I think Mac might have inspired her to be brave and go check for herself about her feelings regarding Wukong with his phrase of: "If you want to figure out what to feel about him, well... That's something you'll need to do on your own" Other little details I adore were how Macaque refrains to say anything that might scare or hurt her, him invinting her to sit with him in the bench, Mac letting her chip at the paint of the bank even if it grates his nerves, him deciding not to lie to her, how Mac was willing to throw hands when he thought Wukong did anything to her when she was fiddling with her hair strands and when he showed up and Bai He had to stay with him, Mac refering to Bai He as his little ward and Mac wanting to go comfort her once she starts crying even if he has no idea on how to cheer her up (he wants to be there for her in her lowest moments).

Also, the Traffic Light Trio being like older siblings to Bai He is honestly very heartwarming. With MK making sure she's not lonely ever again, Mei serving as a safe space for her to hide when she's nervous and that Red Son promises to keep her safe and actually helps her with her elbow pads. And the fact that she refers to Mei and MK as older sister and older brother respectively-My heart!

I also greatly appreaciate how you wrote Wukong and the dynamics with the other characters. Like how he's also a victim of LBD just as much as Bai He and Macaque and he never meant to harm anyone but things went sideways (with Nezha appearing, the Monkie Kids accidently starting the ritual and Mac's intervention. Plus he isn't happy about harming an innocent kid but the sake of the world was at stake if he didn't kill LBD, so he had to but it doesn't mean he didn't feel guilty for how everything turned out) And also that despite what happened in s3, Mei, although not really forgiving him for the whole Samadhi situation, she doesn't seem to hate him and is willing to accept him in their plans even though their relationship cant be like it was before S3. About Bai He and Wukong, I loved how you wrote their conversation, with Bai He admiting her fears about him and Wukong accepting it but also showing her that she's not alone, as they are both damaged. And them reconciling and her making physical contact with Wukong like taking his hand, her accepting his offer of sliding with him and him carrying her like a monkey cub; this is a great step for them both considering that in S2 and S3 most of their interactions were him being violent towards LBD, the spirit inside her body and Bai He realizing that Wukong was also scared, just as much as her with LBD.

And the baby monkeys!!! Aaaah! They were adorable!!

getting a message like this is wild because i've never had anyone go into the depths you did with any fic i've ever written, and i've written a lot. you really just. gatdamn. my reaction was so visceral and incredibly overwhelming that i sprung a few tears at how you genuinely saw what i was trying to convey. i mean it's not that serious but also i'm overjoyed that you enjoyed it so much and saw so much of it that you wanted to tell me, it sincerely means more than i can express. i'm delighted. i'm in shambles. i can't thank you enough.
