TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 23

“Nephew,” says Mother. “Understand that while it was done in haste, it wouldn’t have been enslavement. They would have privileges, protection—”

“A gilded cage,” he interrupts, keeping her gaze. “Is still a cage, Auntie Iron. I didn’t even talk to them, and I could tell just from one look they’re just as traumatized as a seasoned Celestial war veteran.”

“You will not speak to my wife that way, boy,” Father snarls, leaning over the table. Fengshe remains unmoving.

“Speak to her in what way? The truth?” Fengshe scoffs, looking at the blades again. “Good intentions or not, you kinda fucked over your relationship with that one.”

Mother Lihua claps her hands twice, immediately silencing everyone. Red Son knows the gesture all too well. It meant that everyone needed to stop fighting and sit down. Father snarls, but sits down and looks at Mother Lihua.

“Your son needs better disciplining.”

“My son is correct, Lord Ox,” she retaliates, keeping his heated gaze. “As brash as it was, he’s right. You may have gone in with the good intention to protect that clairvoyant from future dangers, but you only brought harm to your relationship with them by giving such an ultimatum.”

Are you ever planning on elaborating on what happened to Nibby in New York or are you planning on keeping it vague? Or are things that happened back in their past gonna make a resurgence in the future?

Oh, I kept it very vague on where they specifically grew up in America, so it wasn't specifically New York. But if you wanna say they grew up there, that's fine!

As for the details of what happened to them, there's only so much elaborating before it feels like a trauma dump every chapter of the shit that Nibby experienced. Of course, the same argument can be made for them learning about Wukong and Macaque's life experience, but that's why we're taking it slow! (It's also because those two haven't moved forward from their trauma, while Nibby is slowly but surely moving forward.)

We'll do a small dive into what Nibby dealt with in future chapters, but due to this being a very slow burn of a fic, it probably won't be for a hot minute X"D Keep in mind, though, it wasn't as elaborate or as grand as you guys think. It's half of why I leave a lot of it up to reader interpretation, while only providing small details here and there. Think "Series of Unfortunate Events" and that was pretty much Nibby's life up until Zan found them.

You can only use the "My trauma comes from demons trying to enslave me" so many times before it gets redundant, you know? I'm here to write a story not just about two monkeys and one human kissing, but also a story about healing and moving on from the hurt, rather than stewing in it.

#not writing #tiaf asks #some of y'all think it's as deep as the ocean #me over here like #it's maybe just a large pool #maybe 12 feet deep at best #their trauma isn't that deep trust me #it's a lot of just the same events but written differently #and that shit gets boring to write #especially after like the third time

CHAPTER 21 EDITS ARE DOOOOONE

Fucking FINALLY

It took so long because re-writing that whole ass scene...... was so exhausting.....

It should be relatively smooth sailing from here.... I can only hope.....

I am praying by the end of next month I can post the edits and finally get the next chapter done too.... WE'LL SEE

#not writing #rambles #i still have that other project i'm working on #BUT i have plans for that one #i'll probably start getting a few more hints and teasers together #before i actually start showing off what i'm doing with this second project ;)

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 21 (2)

MK stands in his way, sticking his arm out. His eyes scan and search, staring at the face of the shadow demon known as Yingyue. “Were you the shadow demon that hurt them before?” He asks, his voice low and calm, the air filled with a strange static like before a lightning strike.

Yingyue steps back, hands in his pockets. “And if I was?” He asks, tilting his head.

“I wouldn’t let you near them,” is MK’s simple answer.

“Relax, cub,” Yingyue waves a dismissive hand. “Our start was… rocky, at best,” he coughs and moves closer, pushing MK’s hand out of the way, but MK doesn’t move. “If it makes you feel better, their uncle and I are in a contract. I can’t hurt them even if I wanted to.”

…

MK does trust Uncle Zan, but he has way too many questions right now that have no time for answers. He breathes, and asks, “Do you want to?”

That makes Yingyue pause, his face frowning. He sighs, and says, “No.”

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 18 (2)

“Uh…” You weren’t a huge dog person, but it seems Xiaotian Quan senses your hesitancy and is calming her excitement at meeting someone new. You put your hand on her head. It’s a bit of an awkward rub, but she seems satisfied with it, at least. You look at Wukong, asking, “What’s… what’s going on here?”

Rubbing his neck, Wukong looks away. No doubt stalling to try to find the right words to say for whatever’s happening. Clearly it was supposed to involve you, but due to the relapse, it was delayed…?

“Ugh—” he shakes his head and fully faces you. “First, I’m sure you already know who he is, but let me formally introduce you to the Illustrious Sage—” both he and Erlang roll their eyes at the title “—Erlang Shen, nephew to the Jade Emperor.”

Wukong, in turn, introduces you to Erlang. Out of the sheer habit, you bow to him. “It’s an honor to meet you, Lord Erlang.”

“Please, just Erlang is alright,” he holds up a hand and gestures for you to stand straight. “I try to avoid such titles when not in the Celestial Realm. But it is an honor to make your acquaintance as well, oracle.” He bows his head, then pats at his lap, calling his pup over. He must’ve noticed your awkward stiffness to Xiaotian Quan getting cozy with you.

#lego monkie kid #lmk fanfiction #lmk x reader #tiaf teaser #my writing #TEEHEES LOUDLY #i was planning to add this scene in later #but it wouldn't make much sense #so i had to bump it in sooner

[nerevarswritingstuff]

Wonderful thing about these edits: I get to add in scenes I've been wanting to add, and also help the story flow so much nicer

Horrible thing about these edits: I have had to scrap so many other scenes that wouldn't make sense to the story anymore

The entire "Yingyue helps MK heal Nibby" scene had to be scrapped because it wouldn't make sense to keep and I'm SUFFERING

But it's fine because I get to show off how wonderful Mama Lihua is so it's worth it

#not writing #rambles #it's a mixture of suffering and thriving #i'm in the perfect middle #it's also why the edits for chapter 21 are taking LONGER #because that whole scene had to get scrapped and re-written #//dies

[nerevarswritingstuff]

I caved.....

THIS IS THE ONLY TEASERS Y'ALL GET THOUGH! AFTERWARD, I'M GONNA GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND SURPRISE YOU GUYS WITH WHAT'S GONNA COME

We'll see how long I hold that promise before showing more teasers

For now, simply enjoy these two idiots. the asshole with Macaque is my OC Zhixiu (pronounced jee-show), the half-snake demon, half-heaven blessed human who bears unnatural luck. Doesn't care what pronouns you use, but usually goes by they/them to save confusion (most of the time).

Their quote: "I am whatever gender best inconveniences you."

As well as a couple doodles of both Zhixiu and Macaque~

I love them............. i will cry........

#not writing #my art #lego monkie kid #lego monkie kid oc #lmk oc #lmk oc x canon #teehees with malicious intent #i'll post these on the official blog meant for these two later #for now i'll simply post them here #WOW JEE I WONDER WHAT THE SURPRISE IS IT'S SUCH A MYSTERY #totally not self indulgent at all #i'm not sorry

[nerevarswritingstuff]

Debating whether to just show you guys small teasers to what I'm planning for my other project or to make y'all wait until later

The excitement... it bubbles in me... but I also need to be patient... but patient is something that I am not

#not writing #rambles #y'all don't understand how excited i am #to reveal to you what i'm planning #yes it's more lmk content #because you'll pry it from my cold dead hands #but OOUGH #I WANNA SHOW Y'ALL #BUT SHOULD I WAIT #SHOULD I JUST GIVE A TEASER #//ANGRY SCREECHING

[nerevarswritingstuff]

Live laugh Love Fengshe, excited to know more about him in the upcoming chapters..<3

FENGSHE IS SO WONDERFUL AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR Y'ALL TO ACTUALLY MEET HIM IN THE FIC

Edits are coming slowly but surely, hilariously enough, Chapter 21's edits are taking longer than expected because so much is needing to be changed X"D

BUT I'm hoping that the edits can be done by the end of next month or so, AND I can reveal a very special surprise to you all on a secondary project I'm working on ;)

#tiaf asks #not writing #lmk fanfiction #i'm so excited man #i've been spending so much time dealing with irl shit #that now that it's out of the way #i can focus on THESE DAMN PROJECTS #UGH

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 21

Fengshe, meanwhile, had vanished in a puff of smoke just before the explosion went off, avoiding any and all damage that would’ve been done. Materializing beside Red Son, he grabs the boy’s arm and yanks him along, grabbing at MK’s with his tail.

Macaque breathes a sight of relief, thinking to himself, Good, he’s not being dramatic this time—

“So sorry to ruin the fun you were having, princess,” Fengshe yells with a laugh. He pushes Red Son and MK towards the others, facing the two remaining spider demons and outstretching his arms. “But this particular play must come to an early end!”

Never mind… shouldn’t have thought that so soon.

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 19

“You are just like Fengshe,” he mutters under his breath. “Nonetheless, it… was something made in haste. One that—admittedly—I do not look back on fondly…” Unsure of how else to end the conversation, he gestures for you to follow.

Fengshe?

“Who’s that?” You ask, following him through what looks like a more residential area, with fewer shops and more houses.

“Mm?” He takes you to a large stone wall that has certainly seen better days.

“Fengshe. You said I’m just like him.”

“In certain ways, yes,” he grumbles. “Fengshe is Mother Lihua’s son. Through technicality, because of his relation to Monkey King—he’s my uncle, despite him being close to my age, give or take a century or two.” He rolls his eyes in annoyance. “Likes to call me little brother to confuse everyone we meet… annoying.”

…

Miss Lihua has another son???

How deep does this shit go? Now you’re curious how this Fengshe character acts, and if Wukong knows anything about him—or Six-Eared Macaque.

#lego monkie kid #lmk fanfiction #lmk x reader #x reader #my writing #tiaf teaser #more mentions of fengshe #teehees with malicious intent #foreshadowing is a literary device-- #anyway enough meming #we're getting closer to catching up with the edits oh my goooood

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 18

“Assault?” Miss Lihua holds her arm out, stepping to block you further from Red Son. “Little torch, this is the one who you said attacked you?”

Little torch??

“Obviously, Mother Lihua!” He wildly gestures to you. “They must be punished for their wrongdoing!”

Mother Lihua????

“Wait. Can—can someone explain what the hell is going on right now?” You ask suddenly, waving to both of them for their attention. “Why did he just call you ‘Mother Lihua’? And—how do you even know him??”

Miss Lihua looks between you and Red Son, holding her hands in front of her and taking a breath. She says, “An explanation of that caliber will take much too long, I’m afraid. The most I can tell you right now, without needing to sit down and answer all your questions I know you’ll have, is that I helped Lady Iron Fan raise him.”

Okay, my little chicken nuggets. Come grab a seat and gather round, because there are a few things I need to address.

TL;DR if you don't feel like reading: You want me to update my fics (especially my Hazbin fic) faster/sooner? Pay me.

To those of you who enjoyed my Hazbin Hotel and Lego Monkie Kid writing, thank you. I deeply appreciate all the love you show in how I portray the characters. It warms my cold, dead heart to share my stories with you guys and to enjoy them as much as I do.

I think, however, one thing some of you are forgetting is one tiny fact.

I do this shit for free. I don't get paid to write 30+ chapters that have over five or six thousand words per chapter. This is stuff I do in my spare time, which is dwindling with IRL stuff going on, and other projects that I am currently having in the works (which, fellow LMK fans, look out for in the unforseeable future).

So I'm making this statement here and now. Anyone who asks in my comments or send messages here asking when I will update my HH or LMK fic? Especially my HH fic?? Here's my answer. Pay me and I'll update it sooner.

While I have no plans to abandon either fics, and do have an ending in mind for both, the Hazbin fic quite literally on the farthest back burner right now of what I plan or want to work on. So if you guys want me to continue it sooner, then we can discuss in DM's about how much it'll cost to post the next chapter.

To those of you who are just innocent bystanders, just skip over this and keep doin' you. Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of people asking me on AO3 and in my asks about when I'll be updating. I am busy. I am working. I will get back to it eventually, but it's not any time soon.

That is all.

#not writing #either pay me to update sooner/faster #or shut up and leave me alone #i will get to my writing when i get to it #when i have the time to #//goes back to being an old lady on her front porch

[nerevarswritingstuff]

How about a hazbin hotel valentino x reader fic? The way you write him, in my opinion, is the best.

//sees this

//looks at all the people liking/rebloging my Valentino x Reader snippets or Vox x Reader snippets

I knew y'all would crawl out of the wood work once the show came out. I felt it in my bones.

(I joke, I'm glad y'all enjoy these fucked up lil dudes as much as I do <3)

Nonetheless, THANK YOU SO MUCH //SOBS writing that moth bastard was always a blast! To answer your question, I can't say for sure if I'll ever end up writing an actual multi-chapter fic with a Valentino x Reader or even a Vox x Reader relationship, mainly because I'm so busy with other projects. Maaaaaybe I'd do small snippets as I did in the past if an idea comes to me? But otherwise, I can't promise I'll actually go through with a dedicated multi-chapter thing.

That isn't to say I'm unwilling to write them if people are willing to commission for it, but unfortunately, I'm not taking requests anymore due to my schedule ;-;

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 13 (2)

First, he had Mama. Mama was amazing, always listening, always there, always holding him and singing to him when he needed comfort. Her advice, so wise and kind, were words he’s cherished for many years—and still does! But… after everything—

“I didn’t mean to, Mama. I didn’t,” he sobbed, gripping at her sleeves as tears poured and poured and stained her shirt. “He hurt so many people! I saw him doing it—I did! But—But I would never—” he couldn’t even finish the sentence, his words broke into a cry.

“I know, my little pebble, I know,” Mama pulled him closer, closer. He wasn’t a tiny pebble anymore, unable to curl in her lap like he used to. He could, technically, if he focused on making himself smaller. But it wasn’t exactly something he could focus on right now. “I saw it, too…”

“I didn’t—” he hiccuped and buried his face into the crook of her neck, “—I—I didn’t want to do it. He just—kept pushing and pushing and pushing—and—and I got so angry that I lost control and—and I—”

Mama nodded along as his words broke into more wet and sputtery sobs. She combed his fur, and he can feel her trembling from barely held back tears herself. Her voice shook as she said, “Oh, my son… everyone has their limits, even you.” Her grip on him tightened, her own tears she couldn’t hold back anymore stained his fur. “My sweet pebble, my sweet little cub… I know you would never murder in cold blood. Never.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry—” he repeated the litany of apologies over and over, unsure if he was saying it to Mama, to Macaque, or to himself. Maybe it was all three.

…

After everything…

It’d be best if Wukong didn’t confide in Mama anymore.
