How often Tripitaka/Sanzang completely disbelieves Wukong's abilities I felt...at some point something had to give. This scene was followed by five hours of Wukong having to walk at the back of the group till he learned his lesson about raising his voice.
From an ask on tumblr;
"Did you Monkeys are very orally fixated, they put their mouths on everything and are very prone to biting. Conclusion? Wukong has bitten everyone in the pilgrimage at least once"
I couldn't agree more and Tripitaka most likely has to stop him often.
My Tyranno-Saurian Paladin affectionately nicknamed 'Destructica' by her enemies because...she doesn't have a threshhold about smacking people who are evil or mean to kids.
Would you believe I spent a day or two working on this? Well I did! Some Liu and Rin Rin/DeeDee stuff during an assault from some rather stupid yaoguai apes who thought they could handle the Huaguoshan monkeys.

Another answer to a question on Tumblr of how Rin Rin ended up smitten.
It was just a small simple gesture. Those are the ones you have to beware of the most.

In the Wukong's Mom AU, Buddha reveals the identity of the Six Eared Macaque, but not WHICH one it is because the Macaque doesn't lose his nerve this time. So Buddha suggests someone who would know Wukong in an instant.

When you grow up and learn human language only to find out your childhood friend has been complimenting you since day one.
Betrothal AU had me in a headlock today and I needed to draw more of these soft besties.
Even when helping, the relatively freshly released Great Sage can't help but be the tiniest bit snippy about small things whilst also insulting the Heavens.
When starting out their ruse on Heaven in the Betrothal AU, Wukong wasn't prepared for the small acts of physical affection and he was more than a little flabbergasted to receive it from a celestial even if they'd planned it out beforehand.
Even MORE of Marshal Liu and Rin Rin/DeeDee because I will not be stopped.
It seems Wukong's Marshal has a bit of a honey tongue when he's more comfortable with the lady who has his heart completely. I feel she definitely appreciates his words.
In the Betrothal AU - Earth Reaching Willow's affection for the realm below is started very early and the fire is only fanned by Wukong's encouragement. Her favourite thing becomes the smell and sound of a storm.
Sometimes the day is hard, the scripture readings are long and socializing is exhausting.
But at least Wukong has his best friend to go home to in the Fake Marriage AU that always helps him feel revitalized.
Two flavours of Wukong!
His usual form and when Tripitaka asks him to be a bit taller/human shaped for the sake of not terrifying the locals too much. (Or just when Wukong wants to feel a bit taller)
I got an ask of what if my boy could feel romantic feelings for another and I said that after all the drama with humans and celestials - he'd probably be more interested in another monkey.
So here is his hypothetical love interest based off of a Gray/Hanuman langur.
The Fake Marriage AU is rough because these two are keen to make Heaven uncomfortable with romance...whilst they are ALSO uncomfortable with romance. However it takes one or two shows of trust to reassess the boundaries of their comfort.
When he was very little - still the size of a kickball - little Wukong/Shi Hou would bother his mama's elderly mother with stories of his tiny adventures. Telling her how many flowers he'd gathered, or what he and the wolves and deer had been up to. And she would happily listen.
WARNING - a smidge loud!
Little rough What If AU animatic/animation because I heard Chinese Dagger Prelude and my brain wouldn't allow me to rest.
But then I got eepy so enjoy the little animatic.
Wukong's second mama in the Wukong's Mom AU affectionately nicknamed 'Courage' who survived a tiger attack and ended up mute in the recovery process. She taught her little man to be fearless.
Seems one of Wukong's Four Stalwart Generals is too focused on something else.
Also my first pass at Marhsal Liu's design.
And now I collapse to bed now that the construction men are quiet.
Everyone's favourite baby monkeys when they reach young adulthood! In order;
Pear, Mulberry, Pomelo, Apple and Lychee! (I had to put him in a reply because Twitter only lets you post 4 images. ;w; )
Now and then a slime will devour a Unicorn and the overwhelming magic of the creature completely overwrite's the slime's being. Creating in its place an eldritch but benevolent being of magic known commonly as: The Slimeacorn.
Did a rough animation based on an 80's horror/monster Wukong design I've been fucking around with.
Haven't animated properly in a long time so it's very VERY off model.
I can guarantee you the people who disliked this utterly charming and delightful reindition of the song,
Are the same people who haven't been near a vagina since they got forcefully shunted out of their mother.

Hasn't Rowling said - this is hearsay by the way so it might just be a rumor - that 'People who buy my work agree with me automatically' because she thinks her word is that much gospel? It wouldn't be completely out of the realm of reality for her to say such tripe, but y'know.
