Shadowiceflower Adventures

Otherwise known as "Macaque's Extended Bachelor Party" or "What Happened While Wukong and Yue Were Away"

A Brief Summary: For once, Macaque doesn't just sit and wait for Wukong to come back home. Instead, he goes out with Shanzha and RinRin to make some memories and maybe leave a mark on the world.

Macaque, Shanzha, and RinRin last about one (1) week without Wukong and Yue before they break down and cry. They just miss them so much.

After a night of getting completely hammered together, RinRin gets the bright idea of going on an adventure - just the three of them. Macaque is reluctant to leave FFM but eventually agrees.

The three start small: They visit the Demon Bull Family first.

Everything is pretty chill until Red Son starts to lose control of his Samahdi Fire. Shanzha manages to ease the flames with her ice powers and buy Macaque and RinRin some time as they search for a specific flower known to help manage and repress demon powers.

Red Son is (temporarily) saved though the event makes PIF and DBK consider asking for celestial help since their son's abilities mostly come from the celestial side of the family.

The trio move on. They stop by a Demon Night Market so they can buy rare wares and trinkets for Yue and themselves.

RinRin meets an unpleasant Owl yaoguai and decides to steal their lantern so she can gift it to Macaque. This sets off a chain of events that gets the trio into trouble. They somehow get out of the ordeal intact and alive. Shanzha is upset at RinRin's riskiness but Macaque is moved by the gift.

From there, the trio decides to visit Macaque's homeland. The lands were ruined and ransacked and were a sad sight to see.

Macaque, Shanzha, and RinRin stay in the Macaque Spirit Clan's castle overnight and discover that it's haunted. Or, more like, RinRin is painfully aware that it's haunted while Macaque (part of the bloodline) and Shanzha (a shrine maiden) are oblivious until RinRin decides to deal with the ghosts.

Instead of putting them to rest, Macaque uses his new lantern to give the ghosts shadow forms. They now guard the lands, keeping outsiders out. They also acknowledge him as the current Macaque Spirit King.

Since the Spirit Macaque Clan territory is located between FFM and LoES, they use the land to gather all of the FFM soldiers and generals willing to throw down with some snow monkeys for sending a child bride.

Macaque, RinRin, and Shanzha enter the territory first to gather information and stir up some shit. RinRin and Shanzha give Macaque a makeover and sit back and laugh as LoES falls over themselves to impress and court Macaque.

Macaque gets the ego boost of his life. While he really doesn't have to do anything, he takes the initiative to learn from RinRin how to flirt and seduce. He also learns from Shanzha all the underhanded tricks that the residents of LoES might pull on him. He flourishes during his time there.

Though, in their information-gathering, the trio slowly realizes that there's a conspiracy afoot. They dig a bit too deep and are imprisoned by a clan leader who isn't as moved by Macaque's looks (unfortunately).

Enter: Nezha, who had been scouring everywhere to find the three so he could bring them up to Heaven. He breaks them out of jail and ends up getting tangled as the monkeys continue to unravel a concerning thread of thralls and followers of a Bone Demon.

Nezha was insistent that they come with him at first but then he saw the state of LoES firsthand and witnessed children's lives being threatened daily.

LoES child: "There's a God that Protects Children?"

Nezha: (devastated at their disbelief)

Nezha was onboard with helping after that. He was the one who would evacuate the children whenever the scheming trio upended a clan and dethroned its thralled leaders. Eventually, he was the one who led the charge against the Zodiac Monkey Clan when civil war broke out.

There's this one moment when Macaque enters the compound and finds the room Yue used to live in with Shanzha and RinRin. It was so small and bare and it broke his heart seeing it.

LBD's influence over the clan made it more hellish than it already was. Many of the clan members were all too happy to back Shanzha as the new heir and leader. Anything to escape LBD and Yishan's rule.

Shanzha and Yishan (the Thrall) engage in a one-on-one inheritance battle. Shanzha nearly takes his arm off with her arrows. Yishan nearly takes an eye out but scars her instead. The fight ends up as a draw because of Erlang Shen's entrance, forcing Yishan and LBD to flee.

Erlang Shen takes an exhausted Nezha and the Scheming Trio up to Heaven where they are reunited with Yue and Wukong.

Surprise

(Click for better quality)

Ngl, making this was a lot of fun.

The hard part was finding a pose to draw Yue in and chossing which things to keep or not. Cause originally, i was gonna draw more but decided against it.

Everything is drawn by me except for Wukong and Macaque lmao

Fun fact: the color pallet I used for her hanfu was called 'Berry'

Slammiversary preview

Josh Alexander vs. Eric Young - Alexander is defending the Impact Wrestling men's world title. Young won a battle royale on May 11 to earn this match.

I haven't been keeping up on Impact lately, but from what I can tell the story isn't too deep here. Since returning to Impact in 2020, EY has assembled a faction of sociopaths in Violent By Design. So while Alexander has been slowly groomed to be coronated as the top babyface, Young has been otherwise occupied with big multi-man brawls. Eric will bring his brand of violence, in the form of thugs who don't give a damn, but Josh his own kind of violence, in the good ol'-fashioned leave-it-all-in-the-ring sense.

This is the 20th anniversary of Impact's first show in 2002, back when it was Total Nonstop Action. For most of those 20 years, Eric Young was a mainstay of the promotion, working his way up from a prelim guy in 2004 to a cult favorite comedy act to a deadly serious heel...then back to a comedy guy, and then suddenly as a headliner in 2014. Because of his obvious talent, EY was a textbook case of how TNA underutilized and mismanaged homegrown talent until it was almost too late. He left for WWE in 2016, when TNA was at it's lowest ebb, and returned after Impact rebuilt it self around guys like Alexander. So it's unavoidable that Young represents the company's long history, and Alexander represents the way forward into the future.

A title win for Young (this would be his third) might be a good way to start a fresh direction for VBD. But it'd be disastrous for Alexander, who already had his first big title win shut down by Moose and just got done avenging that loss a few months ago. The best thing for both guys would be if Eric loses clean and, despite being a depraved heel, is moved to show respect to the champion. Reckoning with that would give VBD something new to do--not to necessarily break them up or turn them face, but at least to give them something different to chew on.

Tasha Steelz vs. Deonna Purrazzo vs. Mia Yim vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Chelsea Green - Steelz is putting her Impact women's world title on the line. Mickie James is being advertised as a special guest enforcer. This is billed as a "queen of the mountain" match, which is just the old "king of the mountain" rules but (for the first time) with women. The match format was introduced in TNA in 2004 and was a staple at Slammiversary in 2005-2009 and 2015.

It's basically a reverse ladder match: The only way to win is to take the title belt up a ladder and hang it above the ring. But, to make it more complicated, it doesn't count unless you become "eligible" by scoring a pinfall or submission on any other opponent. Participants who lose a fall are placed in a penalty box for several minutes; in theory the same person could get pinned over and over and spent much of the match stuck in the box.

I think Impact has done a dozen of these things, and either I've never watched any of them or I've totally forgotten about the ones I did see. The main attraction is the ladder spots, but you could get those in any conventional ladder match. So the only real novelty is doing highspots off the top of the penalty box, which isn't a lot. Really the most interesting thing about this match is that it's the first time women are doing it, and usually big firsts like this give the women extra motivation to deliver their best performance.

Lost in the shuffle here is Mia Yim, who returned to Impact last month after being released from WWE. I was surprised to see her end up here instead of AEW, but their loss is Impact's gain. Overall the field for this contest looks a lot stronger than the women's ultiamate X match back in January. Impact's women's division has been steadily improving for years, but it feels like they're reaching a new level now.

Anybody could win this thing, but history suggests that a title change is very likely. It'd be a big statement for Steelz to retain against four bigger names, and I'd like to see that. But I could realistically see any of these five carrying the world title through the end of the year.

Ace Austin vs. Kenny King vs. Mike Bailey vs. Trey Miguel vs. Jack Evans vs. Alex Zayne - Austin's X division title is at stake in an "ultimate X" match. This is another twist on the ladder match format that TNA developed in its early years. Essentially it's a ladder match without ladders. The belt will be hung from cables forming an "X" where they cross over the ring. The object is to be the first to retrieve the belt, which can only be obtained by climbing on the cables in a literal tightrope act.

In a lot of ways this is just another variation of putting a bunch of midcarders in a X division trainwreck that won't settle anything. The big difference, though, is that Austin befriended Zayne during the New Japan's Best of the Super Jr. tournament, only to turn on him and join Bullet Club. Zayne hasn't been an Impact guy, so it seemed like Austin wouldn't be dealing with that fallout in this promotion, until Zayne was added to this match. Uh-oh.

The other interesting wrinkle is Jack Evans, who finished up with AEW a few months ago. Evans seemed like a good get for AEW in 2019, but after WWE flooded the talent pool with free agents it was pretty clear that he couldn't hang on at that level. He can shine here, though, so I hope he does well, and lifts Impact up in the process.

Anybody could win this, but I'm picking Austin to retain. There's more money in settling his issues with Zayne in a one-on-one title match. (Now watch Impact set up Austin, Zayne, and Trey Miguel in another fucking three-way...)

Moose vs. Sami Callihan - Callihan is returning from an ankle injury, which I guess he's blaming on Moose in the storyline. This is billed as a "monster's ball match," another high-concept set of rules from TNA history.

In recent years, "monster's ball" just means it's just a no-rules street fight with assorted weapons provided around the ring. However, this time Impact has brought back the original wacky stipulation from 2004, so the participants are supposed spend 24 hours before the match in total isolation, without food or water! They even posted a clip of both guys freaking out! So you know they're gonna be extra weird and violent when they hit the ring. This should be stupid fun.

I think Callihan needs a win, but it feels like he's always coming up short in the clutch. Which doesn't bother me, since Moose is the one you ought to protect.

Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe vs. Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows - The Briscoes are defending the Impact men's tag team title, which they won in May. The Good Brothers beat them on April 2, so Mark and Jay are looking to avenge that loss. This is one of the bigger dream tag matches you can do in pro wrestling right now, so it's kind of wild that it's happening here.

I think the Briscoes need to retain, and go on a long run with the belts. It's pretty clear that AEW's TV partners don't want them around, which also makes a return to ROH rather iffy. So for better or worse Impact is their home, and Impact can't ask for a better top team. The Good Brothers have been fine in that role, but sooner or later they're going to be spending more time in New Japan, AEW, or wherever else they might go. It's time for a Briscoes dynasty.

Eddie Edwards & PCO & Matt Taven & Mike Bennett & Vincent Marseglia vs. Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley & Frankie Kazarian & Nick Aldis & ? - Edwards's team represents Honor No More, Impact's faction of wrestlers who are mad that Ring of Honor collapsed in 2021, and want to take it out on Impact. Sabin and Shelley's team is billed as "Impact Originals." Sabin and Kazarian (on loan from AEW) started with TNA all the way back in 2003; Shelley showed up in 2004. Aldis (appearing courtesy of the NWA) debuted for TNA as Brutus Magnus back in 2009. The fifth member of the babyface team has not yet been revealed. James Storm would make the most sense, but if Aldis counts as "original" they could just as easily bring in Jaxson Ryker or something. I assume the Imapct team has to win this.

Tenille Dashwood & Madison Rayne vs. Rosemary & Taya Valkyrie - The Influence (Dashwood & Rayne) are defending the Impact women's tag team title. Rosemary had been teaming with Havok, but I'm not sure what happened to her. In any case, Rosemary used to be best buddies with Valkyrie before Taya's brief run in NXT, so now they've put the band back together. During their first run, I always got the impression Rosemary was planning to betray Taya and eat her brains. But I guess that could still happen someday! So there's that.

When Impact revived the women's tag title, I figured it was a direct result of the Taya/Rosemary team hitting it off, so I was surprised those two never actually won the belts. This seems like a good time to right that wrong.

Rich Swann vs. Brian Myers - This is scheduled for the pre-show. Swann won the Impact digital media title from Matt Cardona right before Cardona suffered a biceps tear, so Cardona's partner Myers is the one trying to win it back. It wasn't all that long ago that Swann was the world champion and headlining shows like this, so it's a shame seeing him this low on the card. I suppose he retains the title.

Reverse battle royale - Excuse me for just one second...

...all right, this is set for the pre-show, and it's another throwback to TNA's wacky specialty matches from the old days. In a normal battle royale the wrestlers start in the ring and try to throw everyone else out. In this match everyone starts outside the ring and the goal is to be one of the first to get in. This is dumb as fuck because the wrestlers have to pretend it's suddenly hard to just climb into the ring like they've done every week of their careers.

I think the current Impact creative team knows the reverse battle royale was always horseshit, and this is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. So expect a lot of goofy nonsense, and a field of wrestlers that shouldn't be taken too seriously. The outcome probably doesn't matter.

Queen of the Mountain

Fandom(s): Vampire Game Prompt: Twisted Fairy Tale - AUgust 2022 Challenge Series: N/A Length: Undecided Idea: Upon an ancient hill surrounded by thorny brambles, there lies a tall tower housing frights and spooks alike. Princess Ishtar, as adventurous as she is reckless, decides extreme action is in order when her counsellors insist upon marriage. Where better to take over than a creepy old legend?

Notes: I picked Rapunzel as the base tale, I might mix in some other elements later. Vampire Game has it's own 100 year curse anyway so why not. The tower is run by the vampiric necromancer Duzell. Ishtar takes over the place, Darres and Yuujel chase after her to 'save' her but wind up staying. Ishtar gets her freedom. Yuujel runs a store there. It ends in poly bliss.

Queen of the Mountain AUs

With Act I of "Queen of the Mountain" coming to a close soon, I'd like to share little AUs and ideas I have of this fic that I'm considering writing. The first two are directly connected to Queen of the Mountain while the other two are AUs with more mature themes.

Unforgivable AU: In which, the Hot Springs Incident never happens and Shanzha is sent over to FFM as Wukong's bride like in canon. Despite RinRin and Yue's efforts to escape the clan's clutches and reach FFM, they were unable to save Shanzha, who had haplessly triggered her own route (platonic) and was killed by Macaque. While RinRin was eventually able to bring Shanzha back to life, the act was done and Yue has no desire to form a connection with Macaque - uncle or not. The three leave FFM and live their lives. Centuries later in the LMK era, a grown Yue reunites with Macaque and Wukong. (Angst/Eventual Forgiveness/Modern)

Warlord Shanzha AU: After the end of RinRin's Route, Wukong and RinRin renew their marriage, and Macaque and Shanzha (heartbroken) decide to focus on retrieving Yue from the Zodiac Monkey Clan's clutches. When the dust settles, Shanzha reluctantly becomes Clan Head and Warlord of the Land of Eternal Snow. Macaque becomes her advisor and trophy husband, and the pair end up being a platonic power couple. Wukong and RinRin reunite with them later during the JTTW era and old feelings reemerge. Yue may or may not be working behind the scenes to help set them up since the pining is ridiculous. (Humor/Second Chance/Parent Trap)

Fae AU: Faelord Wukong catches sight of Macaque hiking in his forest with his family (Shanzha and Yue) and falls in love with him at first sight. So he lures Macaque into a fairy ring and whisks him away. Macaque desperately tries to find a way back home while trying to resist Wukong's advances. This is made even more difficult when Wukong's wife and fellow Faelord, RinRin, decides to do the same with Shanzha. Or, as I'd like to think of it, two cringefail supernatural beings try to seduce a hot pair of mortals into staying with them forever while these two desperately try to get back to their daughter. (Mature, Dark Themes, Supernatural, Kidnapping, Eventual Poly)

A/B/O AU: In which, Wukong and RinRin (both Alphas) are longtime rulers of FFM whose lives and perception of themselves are turned on their heads when they offer sanctuary to a pair of traveling mated Omegas (Macaque and Shanzha) who are expecting their child. It's mostly an introspection on the gender norms for both primary and secondary genders, established unconventional pairings and how they make it work, self-repression due to societal pressures, eventual self-acceptance, and how inherently and gloriously queer the poly is no matter how you shake them and look at them. (Mature, Unconventional A/B/O dynamics, Eventual Poly)

I'm open to expanding on any of these AUs! Of course, my main focus is on the main fic, but it's nice to dabble in different ideas!
