Someone has probably already done these with the Sun Wukong and Macaque, but Tem asked me to draw them and I couldn't resist. They are angy monkeys, hear them hiss

Clowning Around's Jester
Hello folks, we'll be talking more about the Clowning Around AU specifically Jester. There also some plot exposition as well!
Tricky's power can be wielded by MK in various different ways but not at 100%...yet. At the moment, our Monkie Kid must fuse his zombie clown guest into their combined form for Tricky's power to be fully unleashed: Jester.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This undead clown's visage is similar to that of a Chinese Opera performer specifically the Jester role with a Tricky mixed style. Just like the assassin, Jester refers to himself as well...Jester.
"You don't kill Jester! Jester kills you!"
"Oh teh noes! So close to catching Jester!"
"Cheater! Jester burns away cheaters!"
Yep, even this fusion has some of Tricky's insane tendencies but is surprisingly more focused and empathetic. Elements that no doubt originate fron MK's honorable kind hearted nature. Despite being this demon clown's host, this young man is still worthy to wield the Monkey King's Staff: Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Sun Wukong's magic further evolving the powers of Jester and gives MK even more access to the Improbability Drive's unique functions. An Emergency Stop Sign now a powerful cudgel capable of creating hellfire shields with Tricky's unique signature. Can't forget that the clown can now manifest with a temporary body of his own!
For any Madness Combat fans, if you are wondering if MK also gained one of Tricky's most infamous powers...he sure did. I'll be drawing it just like I've drawn Jester. But for now, onto the plot!
Thanks to being Tricky's host, MK is unfortunately wanted by the Heavens/Celestial Realm. Word got out about a 'mysterious clown' causing problems in the mortal realm specifically Megapolis. The same place that the Prison Pill holding Tricky had disappeared. Jade Emperor theorized that someone down there has become the demon clown's host.
An incident that has a few immortal soldiers to even generals hiding amongst Megapolis' population in search of Tricky's host. One of them being Erlang Shen, the immortal responsible for capturing Sun Wukong which led said monkey to being tossed into the Eight Trigram Furnace. Yeah, MK now has a few immortals added to his enemy list.
Sun Wukong is informed about this hunt via scroll but he tossed it away. This monkey doesn't read his own lawyer's emails so he'll toss away any orders from the Heavens. An action that will come back to bite him on the ass considering the Macaque episode. Plus when you take into consideration on how protective Tricky is involving MK... It ain't gonna be pretty.
Once he finds out, the Monkey King won't have much time to put MK into his protective custody unlike in Wrathful Idol.
Anyway, there is one person in MK's friend group that knows about Tricky and Jester. This individual being Mei who helps our Monkie Kid find cover whenever he has to 'Go Clown'. Got the whole Danny Phantom skit going on here but with zombie assassins. Also MK does say a transforming catchphrase like 'Going Jester' or 'It's Time To Clown Around' mainly cause Tricky thinks it's cool despite it being cheesy. Something he could do to make his clown friend happy.
Now, Jester and MK will be rotating certain battles when it comes to the canon episodes. I'll partially be using canon but most of it is going to follow my personal plot.
That's all I have for now! Until next time folks, continue to thrive in the madness and I'll see you back in Megapolis.

Irony
Monkey King was always awful at keeping secrets.
Posted on Ao3 as well! (1395 words)
MK caught Monkey King rubbing his left eye. He frowned at the sight of it; it had been itching a lot lately, by what Monkey King had said when MK first questioned him about it.
“It’s no big deal, bud. It’s just healing.”
Healing from what? His mentor had never explained what had caused him to return so late, covered in scratches and minor injuries nonetheless.
What concerned MK the most was that while the simain’s injuries were healing steadily, the nick above his left eye was not. The cut eyebrow refused to grow back, and the line began to form into the beginnings of… a scar.
Now Monkey King was constantly scratching at the eye, rubbing at it in every spare moment he was on the ship.
He wasn’t the only one who had noticed of course, MK had shared a glance with Tang after a particular instance that Monkey King was sweeping the deck of the ship (he was given the job as to not overexert himself, much to his dismay). He had paused and cursed under his breath, and upon the observant looks of Tang and MK, he remarked he had gotten some dust in his eyes.
Yeah, MK snorted in disbelief as the king turned away. For the fourteenth time that day. Tang didn’t look as though he had believed him either, but he chose not to comment. Monkey King was awful at keeping secrets, it would seem.
MK had decided he was finally going to get to the bottom of this, once and for all. By confronting his mentor about the problem at hand.
Before he could do that, however, Monkey King yelled and jumped away from his sweeping spot. The broom clattered to the floor, and in its place a puff of purple smoke erupted.
“It’s Macaque, everyone get back-“ Monkey King started, before he was cut off by snickering.
“Aww, Peaches. You ruined the surprise.” A blurry visage could be seen in the smoke, before Monkey King cleared it with a brush of his hand. “Come on. A little element of mystery never hurt anyone.”
MK couldn’t believe his eyes. Macaque was here on the ship! But how?
Macaque turned over to the boy, ignoring Monkey King. The others began to emerge from different parts of the ship from the noise.
“Uhhh who the heck is that?” Pigsy questioned. “You said Macaque? Who the heck is-“ He was cut off by Mei.
Mei’s priorities lay somewhere else. “Evil Monkey King?”
Tang and Sandy both remained silent, opting to observe the situation.
“Good to see you’re still alive, kid.” The shadow smirked.
“Excuse me.” Monkey King cleared his throat, making himself known. “I’m giving you five seconds to get the hell off this ship before I throw you off of it.”
Macaque finally faced Monkey King, looked him up and down, and guffawed. His lighter counterpart looked rightly offended at the disrespect that the other was showing and snarled.
“Oh, this is rich!” Macaque hugged himself and doubled over in laughter, while the others looked on in confusion. Monkey King only glared. “You seriously think you can take me on right now? Like that? Come on!”
While MK was still a little peeved at his mentor for leaving him on ‘vacation’, he wasn’t angry at him and therefore felt a right to defend him. “Hey! He can kick your a-“ A sharp look from Pigsy cut him right off. “euh- butt- any day of the week!”
Macaque wiped a tear off his face. “Doubt that, kiddo.” He straightened himself, addressing the crew. “Well, not right now at least. I’m surprised he still has enough power to hold up that glamour.”
Monkey King froze.
“What glamour?” Tang questioned.
MK slowly turned to face towards the monkey in question, who in turn slowly began to avoid his gaze.
“Uhhhh…”
Macaque decided to pour more salt onto the wound. “I guess it is sort of… eye-ronic. But also kind of a waste? I mean… you could be saving your powers for something more useful.”
Oh. Oh shit.
Sandy’s brows furrowed. “Monkey King, what is he talking about?”
“I don’t know, big guy.” Monkey King laughed nervously. “I don’t know if you’ve met this guy, probably not, but he’s a trickster. A liar. I wouldn’t trust him if I were you.”
“Oh ho ho, you wound me.” Macaque pretended to swoon, placing a paw over his heart. But his grin remained razor sharp. “Just like your eye. Who did that to you?”
MK’s heart dropped.
His suspicions were confirmed.
All eyes went on Wukong.
“You son of a bitch.” Monkey King growled out. “Nothing happened. Drop it.”
“Can you just give it up already?” Macaque sighed, shrugging. “We already know the jig is up. Gods, you were always horrible at keeping secrets.”
The king didn’t move, insisting on standing in place glaring at the other. The macaque stared back.
“Monkey King.” MK started, causing the older to startle and look over at him with wide eyes. “Please.”
They remained like that for a few moments, before the king finally relented. He sighed, air leaving him as well as a few wisps of magic.
MK knew what was coming, but he couldn’t hold back the gasp at what he saw. He wasn’t the only one either, as Mei dropped her phone and Sandy nearly lost his grip on Mo.
A milky white eye stared back at him. It wasn’t as intense as what Macaque’s had been by any means, but it still sent him reeling. It had healed mostly fine, with only a few blemishes in the skin here and there.
“I didn’t want you to see.”
“What?” MK found that the words tumbled out of him before he could stop them.
Monkey King’s gaze hardened. Even with that one eye out of commission, it held so much emotion. “You’d be discouraged. Right? The amazing Monkey King. Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Half blind. Partially deaf.”
MK’s eyes widened. “Wait, you’re-“
The monkey continued, wiggling his finger. “Can’t use my shapeshifting powers anymore. So, you know, that’s probably a good sign.” He heaved a heavy, self deprecating sigh. “You know when that started?”
Everyone was silent.
“After I gave you my powers.”
What.
Wait, then that would mean...
The simian cut that line of thinking off right away. “I want to tell you this now. This was never your fault, MK. I chose you as my successor for a reason.” Monkey King walked over to the boy and took a hold of the boy’s hand. “This was how it was meant to be.”
“What do you mean?!” MK sputtered out. “You mean that Lady Bone Demon-“
“Well, no! Not her, no! I was supposed to take on anything that you couldn’t handle, I was supposed to be at your side.”
“Holy shit.” Pigsy muttered. “It’s happening. Actual communication.”
Tang hushed him.
Macaque snorted.
Monkey King ignored the three. “But Spider Queen happened. Lady Bone Demon happened. It was a lot more than I thought you could handle, and while I was right, I should have never kept you in the dark about it. I know I’ve been a shitty mentor, but I’m learning as much as you are right now.”
MK nodded in agreement to his words. “So, are you going to teach me more?”
Monkey King smiled. “Of course, bud. Especially more of the fighting stuff. While we can’t really use our powers at the moment… there are other methods we can use.”
“So, like…” MK turned to Macaque, who smirked.
“That’s right, kid. You can never have too many teachers. Right?”
Monkey King started to reply, before Mei cut him off with an inquiry. “Yeah, so uh, who are you? Like a hot version of Monkey King?”
“A hot version of m- excuse me?!” Monkey King squawked in indignation. “I am too hot!”
“I’m not so sure about that Peaches…” Macaque drawled.
Monkey King whirled on the macaque. “You used to date me, so you definitely thought I was hot! So shut up!”
You what?!” MK screeched.
That was the breaking point for the crew. They all broke out in noise, all firing questions at the two.
“Look what you’ve done.” The simian groaned. “I should have thrown you off the ship when I first saw you.”
“Aww, you love me.”

Prompt 63; Sun Wukong and Sandy, becayse Sandy deserves to be pissed at Sun Wukong for leaving as much as Pigsy.
So this prompt was sent in well before S2E8... and now I have the chance to use that as a very fun basis for my own head canons! (Even though 1 is very debatable.)
I believed you! I stood up for you! Defended you! And you lied!
It was only a matter of time before Wukong was confronted by Sandy. The moment he saw the aquatic demon after the defeat of the Spider Queen at the Lunar New Year festival he knew that he was on borrowed time. Now, on the air ship... drone... thingy, there was no time left and he knew that Sandy would eventually want to talk. Alone.
"You lied to us, left us, and we couldn't find you."
"... I thought you wouldn't come looking for me," Wukong said, looking down over the edge of the ship. It was dark, well into the very early hours of the morning, and he couldn't sleep. Apparently he hadn't been the only one, Sandy sneaking up behind him. He must have been more off his game than he realized.
"You're a dumbass," Sandy retorted back at him, tone more tired and sad than anything else this time. He was more blunt than Sandy had ever heard him around MK or the others. "Of course we would have looked for you. We're brothers."
"I know that now," Wukong admitted. "I just... I guess I wasn't thinking clearly. That's not a good- no, there isn't an excuse for just leaving like that."
"Look, I get it," Sandy continued on, moving to stand right beside his once-brother. "In a way, now at least. You'd just fought someone you used to consider a sworn-brother for the second time. Had to do to him what was done to you to keep him from hurting people. But you lied to us."
"I know."
"You told us before you left that you'd come back and you didn't!"
"I know!"
"I believed you! I stood up for you! Defended you when people said you were never going to come back! And you lied!"
"I know!" Wukong snapped, louder than Sandy had raised his own voice, teeth barred and growling under his words. "I know, Wujing, I lied to you! But I can't take that back!"
Sandy pinched the bridge of his nose, taking in a deep calming breath before continuing. "... I know too. What's past is past, we can't change it now. We just have to work with what we have."
"... that sounds like something master would say."
"It was something he said." Sandy sighed. "He probably misses you a lot, you know. I hadn't been up there in years... couldn't bring myself to step foot there when Red Son took us there to get the ingredients for the anti-venom."
"I can't believe no one has gone after you all for that... maybe master had a hand in that."
"Or they're still scared of The Handsome Monkey King who once wrecked Havoc in Heaven," Sandy said with a ghost of a smile. Wukong couldn't help but chuckle at that, soft and almost as much of a ghost. "But I think he did. They probably know... at least a bit. Definitely that you're back and about MK. Everything else, I don't know."
"If they did I think we wouldn't be in this mess right now." Wukong bit his lip, scowling. "I should have swallowed my pride and asked for help. Gone to master or Guanyin or even the Jade Emperor."
"But what's past is past," Sandy repeated. "We work with what we have."
Wukong laughed again, this time cold and bitter and hollow.
"What we have is a shapeshifted super strong celestial who doesn't like to fight, a really kick ass dragon girl, just some guy who knows way more than he should, two monkies who don't even have half their powers anymore, and..." He trailed off, looking back at the entrance to the inside of the ship. "And..."
"Pigsy."
"Bajie," Wukong countered. "But... not Bajie anymore."
It had been a shock when he had seen the four of them at the Lunar New Year festival. It was like the past had returned with a new coat of paint and slapped him in the face.
Mei had the same aura as her ancestor, Bai Long Ma, radiating off her in droves. She even looked similar to one of the dragon's multiple human forms. And she and MK looked inseparable.
Tang looked... a lot like Tripitaka. Even shared his name, to an extent. He didn't have same aura as his master but there was something about him that made him wonder if maybe he could be a distant relation.
Sandy was Wujing. That was much was clear to him. He looked different but his voice was the same as always and Wukong could see his power shining through him so clearly.
And then there had been Pigsy. He looked so much like Bajie and yet so different and Wukong thought he must have just been a fluke. But no... no, he chanced a quick glance at them all with his True Sight and could see them for who they were.
'Bai Long Mas dragon aura. Tang a normal human. Sha Wujing's powerful water demon visage he couldn't forget.
And Zhu Bajie's too.
"Does he... remember anything?" Wukong asked, watching a flock of birds keep pace with the ship. Or bats, possibly, given the lack of sunlight. He couldn't tell, much like how he couldn't tell how far away they were. Not anymore... Not yet.
"No," Sandy answered.
"Good." Wukong breathed out a shaky breath, remembering how it felt when the chef had berated him. It felt so... similar he almost thought... "Good... it's better for everyone if he doesn't. Especially MK, he wouldn't... he wouldn't take knowing one of his actual parental figures had been lying to him. It's bad enough you and I do."
The two fell into a silence, watching as the sun began to rise above horizon. It was almost nice. For a moment.
"How did he die?"
Sandy tensed. "Is this really the conversation you want to have at sun rise?"
"Yes," Wukong answered immediately, no hesitation in his voice whatsoever. "I've put it off too long. I'll learn eventually, it's pretty clear we're not going to be able to run from our past for much longer, so why put it off anymore?"
The silence returned once again as the two watched the mountains they slowly flew over gain an orange-gold hue of early morning. Wukong used to love watching the sunrise, either up early enough that it was just him and Tripitaka or centuries later on his mountain home with his monkey court. No matter what happened? If he was able to watch it he felt like things would be alright.
Now the sight left a bittersweet taste in his mouth that he wasn't sure would ever leave.
"Battle," Sandy eventually said. "After you left... a lot of demons were angry, far angrier than before, and there was no order with DBK locked under that mountain. It wasn't nearly as bad as before but it was more widespread and chaotic. Bajie and I left our new stations in the Celestial Court and returned to the mortal realm to protect the humans and he..." He sighed, leaning forward on the railing to look down, away from the sunlight. "We underestimated an opponent. Bajie took a hit meant for me and... I-I don't remember much after that."
"I can imagine why," Wukong said softly. He'd seen how into battle Wujing get when truly angered, losing himself in rage until his opponent was no more. It only ever happened when one of them had been hurt.
"When I realized that I had... When I went to check on him he was already gone," Sandy continued, wringing his fingers together. "If I had just worked on my anger sooner, long before then, maybe I would have left with him and he wouldn-"
"No," Wukong interrupted firmly, standing straight to glare at Sandy. It wasn't an angry glare, but a sad one. "No, Wujing, you have no way of knowing how bad he was... it may not have... never mind, let's not think about that."
"Go on, say it," Sandy insisted, gripping the railing. "I think I've needed someone to say it for a long time because I can't say it to myself. Please."
"... he... he may have already been gone before you blacked out," Wukong said softly, watching as Sandy tensed and wincing as the railing warped and groaned under his grip.
But eventually he calmed, relaxed and loosed that grip and sighed.
"He probably was," he admitted, standing straight and watching the clouds above them. "... I'm still pissed at you."
"You should be," Wukong said as he pushed away from the railing with a pained groan. His wounds still hurt, treatment and time or not. "You deserve to be. I made a lot of mistakes."
"You can make up for most of them." Sandy stretched, offering a half smile. "You've been trying already. I can tell how much you're trying to watch MK when he thinks you aren't around now. And how you've been bugging Pigsy."
"Even if he doesn't remember I guess I... wanna make up for lost time," Wukong said with a chance of a smile of his own.
The two of them turned to head inside, Sandy moving slower than usual to accommodate for the king's slower gait with his limp. His injured knee would take a long time to heal without his usual powers now.
"I'm going to tell them," Sandy suddenly said as he reached to open the door. "About me being Wujing. We can't afford to keep running from our pasts, brother. Not anymore."
The way Sandy said his name, as soft and welcoming as he ever had on their journey made Wukong pause. He almost surprised himself when he felt something running down his left cheek, realizing that his now injured eye made it harder to hide how he felt when the damaged tear ducts and added sensitivity let the tears run free.
"Not anymore," he agreed.
And Sandy opened the door and they headed inside.

I’ll have some more art later, since I do have a LOT of LMK doodles that I promised I would share on here. This one is the first I felt like posting tho, since I again I am a shipping whore and also self indulgent af.
Anyway, have some cuteness between Xiuying, Sun Wukong, and Macaque because they are cute and I love them very much. Plus, nothing better than doubling the love~

Because, I am a forgetful idiot who just remembered I have more art to share for Lego Monkie Kid. Cause you know...Monkeys have taken over.
Anyway, if you’re part of a certain LMK server these will be very familiar to you already. My only excuse? It was just fun to draw some very blushy Sun Wukong and Macaque, Wukong’s might be my favorite honestly.
From here and here

Aw, did I hit a nerve? Surely one as powerful as yourself wouldn't have to worry over such a thing happening. I mean, all you have to do is not piss someone off again—
Oh, wait, I seem to have forgotten that you have quite a few enemies.
Hm, I suppose you just can't risk leaving then. Otherwise, who knows what could happen to those sweet souls up there~
Tumblr media
"Well, isn't this a shame?"
A small exhale of breath from the Monkey King's lips, golden flames being seem dancing in the air for mere moments. He supposed some fools never learned to heed warnings. Even knowing what he was capable of — the countless legends that surrounded him and his many exploits. That it had taken the intervention of the Great Buddha to put an end to his rampage or a fillet to keep him mostly tame?
It wasn't like he hadn't suffered ridicule before, heard the harsh words spewed at him — every insult been flung at him without care. That he could handle and endure. Having done it before. Torture too, remembering all the cruelty he had suffered at the hands of those who had wished to tame and break him of that spirit.
No, what was getting a rise out of the Great Sage was the mere audacity to aim threats at his subjects. To put his beloved family, the ones that meant more to him than his own life at risk. Or least imply such harm to them. It was one thing to go after him BUT it was another to go after his troop in such a callous way.
"Foolishness knows no bounds — "
Tumblr media
" — no matter, I will deal with it."
Visage twisted and melting as a voice too utterly calm for such a mood shift seemed out of place. Dark stripes dancing across golden fur, blood red marking bleeding out from his eyes — the appearance he often took great pains to hide. To better suite the role of a Hero of Legend vanishing without a second thought. A soft hum building in his throat in stark contrast to the powerful aura that was now bleeding out from Wukong's very being.
This was one who could easily undo the world without much effort, make the world tremble and quake. Unleashed and untamable.

I just finished reading the messages from Discord and I couldn't resist. Macaque and Pigsy with 8 and 26 (you know what this is about)
I had to write this ASAP so I wouldn't forget or be unable to find exactly what this was about again for reference because this is about something from 3 days ago (and if I hadn’t bumped this it wouldn’t have been written for like 4-5 more days because of my queue)! What's the context here? It's a surprise if you don't know, just read the fill and you will understand why it needed written. Shout out to @animemoonprincess because you know why (and also because a chunk of the dialogue came from you).
I know of your reputation all too well./You don’t hate me.
"You cannot be serious," Macaque muttered under his breath. "You truly cannot be serious. This cannot be a thing that is happening to me at this very moment... I am an immortal being, I almost defeated the Monkey King, I almost defeated your kid, I-!”
“I know of your reputation all too well,” Pigsy brushed off with a scowl as he looked at the two items in his hands to, once again, decide which one was of higher quality and therefore more worthy of a purchase. “Believe me, I didn’t jump into this without knowing what I was getting into, bub.”
Macaque, Six Eared Macaque, was standing in a department store of some kind with his arms bogged down with baskets of all the stuff he had mistakenly allowed himself to look at and react to.
He would ask how, exactly, he had allowed himself to get to this point... But quite frankly he had absolutely no idea. One day he had come back after his, admittedly, crushing defeat at the hands of the Monkie Kid himself and before he knew it he had somehow assimilated into their little group to the point that MK had used his True Sight on him by accident and discovered his little secret.
His Six Eared title was not just a title. It was literal. And his six ears changed colors depending on how he felt and Macaque had never learned how to control that.
It hadn't taken him long to figure out exactly what each of the colors meant. And eventually MK, much more conniving than Macaque had ever given him credit for before, had made a chart. It was basic, of course, red meant he was angry (or really passionate) and blue meant he was happy and grey meant he was sad and so on and so forth. Even figured out what the number of ears sharing the same color meant.
And despite Macaque's best efforts to hide how he was actually starting to feel about the group (more positive emotions than he would ever admit before the day he died again) MK would just look at him sometimes and announce it. Macaque would have been angry if he hadn't, you know... tried to kill the kid. He supposed that the occasional "oh yeah, he looks pissed but he's actually at 2 purple (relaxed) and 2 blue (happy) and 2 pink (love) so I think loved that soup Pigsy" was well deserved.
Eventually he just dropped the glamor hiding his ears (one of many, including the one hiding his damaged eye) and then things spiraled out of control because MK had, at least, never announced when he was feeling genuinely bad unless he had to.
Now everyone could see when his ears went black and grey (upset and sad in varying degrees) at the sight of Monkey King's visage on TV or the taste of something that he had memories of that he could no longer reach. They saw when some would turn yellow (fear) hearing MK yelp in pain (and the fact that happened now, fear for the kid's safety, boggled his mind). They saw the green of jealousy more than once when he watched MK and Monkey King interact. He made sure to leave before that happened again.
That very morning before he and Wukong had attempted to talk. It hadn't... gone well. He had attempted to hide his mood, put the glamor back up, but MK had done what he had only done a handful of times before. He'd gone to Pigsy and told him his (what they had deemed) color rating. 2 red, 3 black, 1 grey. And that sounded about right to him. He wasn't really angry, just... upset. He wanted to be left alone.
Pigsy had followed him to his dojo with hot soup and an air mattress and somehow... somehow that helped. He didn't know why it did, but it helped.
And then he was awoken this morning to Pigsy shaking him awake and dragging him to this store and he was buying literally everything Mac made the mistake of looking at and liking and it was actually kind of endearing but also worrying.
Speaking of which, Pigsy was holding up a little plush doll. Not all that dissimilar to the one MK had. "Do you want this?"
"What? No," Macaque snapped, raising his eyebrows at the suggestion. Yes it was cute, but-
"Hm, I see," Pigsy said vaguely, tossing it on the pile of random stuff in Macaque's arms.
"Wh- stop wasting your money!" Macaque tried to argue, pulling the plush doll out of the pile of useless trinkets he didn't need to toss it back to the pig demon.
Pigsy growled, shoving the plushie into Macaque's arms. "I'm not wasting it if its making you happy am I?"
"H-HAPPY?" Macaque asked, and if anyone said anything he would deny the squeak that came with his word. "I-You-I am starting to hate you!"
“You don’t hate me,” Pigsy retorted casually, as easily as if he had added a dash more spice to his soup broth after a quick taste.
And Macaque had to pause and admit to himself after a moment of self reflection, and looking at his literal reflection in a nearby window (2 purple, 2 blue, 2 pink)... no. He didn’t hate Pigsy.
Huh.
----------
"Kid help, your boss is crazy," Macaque attempted to announce when he "broke into" MK's apartment through the front door, arms still bogged down with all the stuff the chef had purchased for him. He needed somewhere to store his stuff while he fixed up his old dojo. "He-"
"I see Pigsy has adopted you too."
"He's wHAT?"
----------
Macaque had tossed all the clothes and plush toys and trinkets at MK, who made no secret that he was very offended by this, before rushing down to the closed noodle shop where he had left him.
"Pigsy you can't adopt me, I'm older than you and I don't legally exist!" He yelled, grabbing the pig demon by the shoulders and looking at him very seriously.
Pigsy just smirked back at him. "Wanna bet I can't? I have Wukong's lawyer on speed dial."
Well shit.

Welcome everyone! Here we will be talking more about the Broken Toys AU! This time we'll be talking about the Boss Frightfurs but also where these toys actually live!
Boss Frightfurs are quite rare since there are only 3 different types but they are the most powerful. Most Boss Frightfurs are created by fusing a Frightfur except for one which is the ruler of all these toy monsters. Now let's get started!
Chimeric Grave Raiser: Frightfur Chimera "Behemoth"
Tumblr media
The first Boss Frightfur MK has summoned and is his go to for very powerful opponents such as Demon Bull King. This particular killer toy is created by fusing three different Frightfurs together. Frightfur Chimeras outmatch Frightfur Leos in offensive power but their ability also surpasses the Enforcer Frightfur as well.
Just like Frightfur Sheep, magic, traps and special abilities have no use against an attacking Chimera but this monster can resurrect those they slay on its side! With each toy zombie that this chimeric creates, the stronger it becomes!
Behemoth is a Frightfur Chimera with a blue bandana around their neck instead of a magenta bowtie. He is quite playful and friendly often liking to play games such as hide n seek, tag or capture the flag. Behemoth likes giving rides to MK or his companions on his back and help out wherever he can.
Immortal Beast: Frightfur Sabre-Tooth "Wildcat"
Tumblr media
A Boss Frightfur MK summons when dealing with a powerful opponent that can harm the Monkey King Sun Wukong. Frightfur Sabre-Tooths are created by fusing one Frightfur with multiple Fluffals and Edge Imps. They automatically give a small power boost to all Frightfur allies but that's not all! If a Sabre-Tooth is created by using four or more monsters, they become indestructible and can only be defeated through exorcism or banishment.
Wildcat is a Frightfur Sabre-Tooth whose tail is orange instead of violet. She is very hyperactive, often wanting to play or claw up anything she can get her paws on. Wildcat loves to hang out with all sorts of felines and is quite a great babysitter as stray cats often leave their kittens to her care. MK brings Wildcat over to Sandy's place quite often so she can play with Sandy's cats and hang out with the big man.
Ruler of the Frightfurs: Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary "Mary"
Tumblr media
The oldest and most powerful Frightfur of them all, Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary. It is said that she was the first Frightfur ever created and rules over all Fluffals, Edge Imps and Frightfurs. Only one Dangerous Frightfur Mary can exist at a time and acts as a mother to MK and all of her subjects.
She gains power for each one of her fallen subjects and can sacrifice them to unleash her wrath on those who dare try to harm her kingdom. Mary can even turn an opponent's magic, powers and traps against them with destructive force so only true combat is the safest way to battle her.
MK goes to Mary quite often for many things from advice or simply enjoy her presence. She can conceal her terrifying visage and take the form of a beautiful blonde maiden whenever going out in public.
Mary is kind, patient and very wise. She often gives advice to MK and any of his friends whenever they feel lost. The Ruler of the Frightfurs also smacks Sun Wukong on the head whenever he doesn't take MK's training seriously. Mary won't hesitate to turn any fool that dares threaten anyone who she considered children or family into chew toys for her young toy subjects.
Now to talk about the home where the Fluffals, Edge Imps and Frightfurs live...
The Twisted Wonderland: Frightfur Sanctuary
Tumblr media
A massive amusement park/kingdom hybrid that all these toys and MK call home. Just like it's appearance describes, there are tons of different and safe attractions, rides, carnival games and foods that many of the Sanctuary's residents can enjoy daily. The place is magical and where a person ends up upon entering depends on their relationship to MK or Mary.
Those considered enemies find themselves in one of two specific places: Frightfur March or Frightfur Factory.
Tumblr media
Frightfur March is a large toy woodland where most of the Frightfurs, especially the Bosses, reside in. Intruders will quickly find themselves attacked and torn apart by the various residents within seconds upon entry.
Tumblr media
The Frightfur Factory is where most Fluffals and Edge Imps are made into Frightfurs. Intruders will immediately placed within a room of newly created Frightfurs to be torn apart like chew toys.
Any friends or viewed family members find themselves at the front entrance which is one of the safer parts of the Sanctuary. During the LMK series, some Bull Clones managed to get inside the Frightfur Sanctuary but were quickly destroyed in the March or Factory.
Next time we'll be discussing two special machines that can be found in the entrance but also Fluffals and Edge Imps! Until next time folks, see ya at Megapolis. Before I go, this is a clip from Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V which is an example of how MK fuses which I will be discussing on a different page.

#4 and/or #6 for Wukong meeting a wbs-possessed Red Son during the special?
So... let’s say that after getting the antidote together and Spider Queen has everyone on the ropes... instead of going straight back to where Wukong and DBK were a certain someone took the chance to “help” Spider Queen.
I don’t think that’s how that works./Let’s make a deal shall we?
The fur on the back of his neck stood up straight, the air around him shifting and changing oddly as something screamed danger in the back of his mind and he felt more than he saw the visage of a skeletal face. It wasn’t an icy ghostly cold, not like last time. It was almost like feeling of being burned, like the burn of frostbite, from a distance. A feeling he had for once never felt before in his centuries of being alive.
He expected to see the same face he had seen beside the Spider Queen every time she showed up. That young woman (girl? he couldn’t place her host body’s age) with blue-tinted eyeliner and straight black hair half up with a jade hairpin.
Sun Wukong wished DBK hadn’t left as quickly as he had once he turned his head and saw someone else.
“What have you done?” He half whispered out, not the fear but newfound anger tinting his tone and his planned statement to her tossed to the wayside.
“Known when to keep my hand fully concealed," the White Bone Spirit chuckled in a voice not her own, lower than her old host’s, accented and haughty and it made cold fire burn under Wukong's fur.
“I don’t think that’s how that works,” Wukong hissed back, gritting his teeth with a growl.
“Oh, there are so many moves I've yet to play..." The spirit said with a wide smirk. A smirk that wasn’t the one that belonged.
“You should’ve stayed buried,” He nearly growled out, moving so fast that to any normal person he was only leaving afterimages of where he once stood.
He felt a twinge of guilt, after what he had said to rile up DBK. After hearing that Red Son had been helping Xiaotian and the others find an antidote for the spider venom. After seeing exactly what made DBK finally angry and powerful enough to rip them out of their confines.
That didn’t stop the Monkey King from attempting to land a punch right in Red Son’s face, the face the White Bone Spirit made smile at him so self certainly, as she dodged in a wisp of heat infused air ash Red Son’s hair turned charcoal burned white. It dried his mouth and throat, made him feel more parched than he had ever felt in so long, and he feared wondered if the White Bone Spirit was able to replicate something akin to...
“I will rip the memory of you from this world...” White Bone Spirit hissed under Red Son’s voice, appearing behind him with a hand reaching out to just barely lay the hand flat on the back of his neck. It was cold and hot and burned.
He felt the face again, saw something far away and a warning, Red Son completely swathed in white and hair billowing in blue-white super heated flame, Xiaotian looking on in horror before he screamed and was overtaken in flames himself and everything was destroyed-
It only took a second but felt like an eternity before he swung back and flame surrounded Red Son’s body again and teleported the host and the possessing spirit away.
Wukong clenched his teeth once again, knowing he couldn’t make chase without knowing exactly what he was dealing with... besides...
He had his own kid to check on.
~
DBK was there when he arrived, as was the original host for the White Bone Spirit. Wukong quipped at the Spider Queen but his voice was harsher than he meant for it to come out. Angrier. Oh how he wanted to lay waste to her himself, but no. That was for Xiaotian. He earned that right, not the Monkey King. Not after everything the kid went through.
No one stopped them, not even DBK with his suspicious gaze, and when he caught them from the sky Wukong would be lying if he didn’t admit he was surprised.
When the light refraction in the sky shone above them after the Spider Queen’s defeat he couldn’t bring himself to rejoice... but he smiled just a bit as he transformed back. Perhaps that was a good sign for things to come...
“Your neck!” Xiaotian yelled out suddenly, jumping down from where DBK still had him held protectively in the crook of his arm. “W-what happened?”
Wukong would also be lying if he said he hadn’t noticed. His smile wilted slowly as he reached up, fingers grazing the now scarred burns in the shape of a hand print on the back of his neck.
A message. A warning.
“This body can hurt you and I will hurt you.”
He looked up at his once-brother, the Demon Bull King’s eyes widening in realization and anger and more than a hint of sorrow as he realized exactly who could have done that. There was only one being on the planet that had the true power to hurt the Monkey King. The one with the True Fire of Samadhi.
And the White Bone Spirit had, somehow and some way, awakened it back up in Red Son.
Maybe that was her true plan all along.
“Let’s make a deal shall we?” Wukong offered to his once-brother, face solemn and tone serious.
DBK said nothing for a while, simply looked at him with a piercing gaze and finally, finally, nodded.
“What do you propose we do?”

Let's have some fluff. 14 or 22 with Xiaotian and Wukong
Here's a fun fact: During my last rewatch of the series I took the time to pay attention to all of the times Monkey King addressed MK. The only time Monkey King calls MK by name in the English version is when it's Jin pretending to be him in the Calabash. He only refers to him by Kid or Bud. ALWAYS. What I saw and could pick up by ear of the Mandarin version? Total opposite. Every time an English line had him say Kid or Bud he called him Xiaotian like the other characters. (Xiaotian also uses Sun Wukong in the lines where he called him Monkey King so either that is what he always refers to him as or he also calls him something else I could not pick up by ear. I’m going with the former for now.)
Also you get both because they go SUPER well together!
“You are my family.”/ “You made me a better person. Thank you.”
"Xiaotian, you forgot your jacket!" Sun Wukong shouted, throwing it at a force hopefully not enough to knock the poor guy over.
Luckily he had calculated this properly and when the jacket hit the Monkie Kid smack dab in the face it only made him yelp and tilt him over slightly before he managed to straighten up. Xiaotian pulled the jacket down, laughing. "Aw man, I can't believe I almost forgot this! Thanks daaaa-" Both of their eyes widened as they realize what he was about to say and Xiaotian flailed wildly before continuing. "-aaAAAANG I just remembered Pigsy needed me to pick up another shift tonight ok thanks BYE!"
Well. That was new. And he only had a few... days to mull that over. Oh dear.
----------
“Sun Wukong!” Xiaotian yelled as he landed on the sandy beach surrounding Mount Huaguo. “I’m back for training! Hello? ...hello?” He looked around, taking in the surprisingly empty surroundings. Lately the Monkey King had been greeting him upon arrival, either ready to start a sparring match or with some kind of lesson or instruction to tell him on their way to wherever they were training for the day.
Now there wasn’t even a single baby monkey around.
“Sun Wukong..?” He whispered out in confusion, making his way to the waterfall that hid the little house the ancient being now called home (he still had no idea what happened to his palace, he was certain all the stories said there was a palace back there). There were almost no monkeys around here, and the few he did see seemed to be chittering amongst themselves.
The walk to the little house past the waterfall was a wildly different visage. Monkeys littered the entire area, similarly chittering amount themselves, and many seemed to be just... amused? Somehow they seemed amused.
He’d never been invited inside the house before. He had never been told he wasn’t allowed inside, but he had never been invited in before. But as he stood at the slightly open entryway he smelled... something sweet? He leaned forward, breathing in deeply...
And then he was being jolted forward by the weight of multiple monkeys jumping on his back, seeming to laugh as he rushed forward and pinwheeled his arms to keep from hitting the walls or falling over completely. As soon as they were there they left, rushing off and slamming the door shut.
“Hey!”
“Xiaotian? Is that you?” The man froze, realizing he had been caught and this was probably the monkey army’s plan all along. “Aw, sh-, UH... come here, I didn’t realize I lost track of time...”
Odd... the Monkey King sounded... sheepish? This was plenty to get Xiaotian to venture further into the house. He took in his surroundings as he did so and it was... plain. Shockingly normal. He didn’t know if he expected portraits or treasures or what, but it just looked like a normal old fashioned house. If a little messy in some places.
Eventually he realize that the Monkey King was inside the house’s kitchen... in an apron... in front of a steaming basket... which he was pulling steamed buns from and piling on a nearby plate.
“Uh... What?”
“I made snacks!”
Yeah that... answered nothing. At all. “You... never make snacks?”
“Sit down, Xiaotian, I think we need to talk.”
And if those words didn’t make him feel instant anxiety like nothing else. There were so many things this could mean. Was he not doing good enough? Did he need to take training more seriously? Did he mess up super bad? DID SUN WUKONG REALIZE HE ALMOST CALLED HIM DAD AND GET OFFENDED!? HE DIDN’T MEAN IT(at least he didn’t mean to say it) THAT JUST SLIPPED OUT!
Xiaotian did not voice any of this and instead sat down and tried to keep himself from dying inside. The second he was seated the Monkey King placed a plate with a bun on it, slightly purple filling showing through a small slit on one side.
“It’s taro,” Sun Wukong explained, sitting down with his own plate. “I’ve been wanting to eat taro for a while, you like taro right? You’re not allergic to it? Are you allergic to anything?”
“No... I’m not,” Xiaotian said slowly, picking up the bun to take a careful bite. It was slightly under seasoned, but properly cooked and shocking light. “It’s good.”
“Good.” Wukong took a bit of his own bun, making a pleased sound. “So... Dad?” Barely able to keep himself from choking, Xiaotian quickly swallowed down his bite and was prepared to apologize when his mentor continued. “I think I might ok with that eventually.”
There was a moment of silence between them, Wukong looking pointedly at his student who sat in stunned silence. “Look... Xiaotian. I’m going to be honest here, when I took you on as my student I didn’t expect to get... attached. At least, not to this degree. I expected us to maybe become buddies after you were ready, hang out every once in a while. But I think that was kind of stupid of me to assume. I don’t really let myself get attached to anyone anymore, not after DBK and I fought 500 years ago, but I used to get attached so easily. I thought of Pigsy and Sandy as my actual brothers once, DBK and I used to consider each other almost as close as brothers too along side a bunch of other demons, and now I... I’ve changed.”
He took a bite of his bun, looking off to the side and nodding to himself as if making up his mind about something. “Not in the last 500 years, though that changed me too. I think you changed me. Training you, getting to know you more as Xiaotian than as ‘my successor’ made me reevaluate a lot of stuff when I wasn’t even aware of it. I think of you first over myself now, I worry if you’re going to come back hurt, I started actually keeping my lawyer’s emails up to date instead of letting them die a slow death in my inbox! You made me a better person. Thank you. As far as I’m concerned? You are my family... If you want to be. Was that too mu-WHY ARE YOU CRYING!?”
Xiaotian sniffed loudly, tears streaming down his face against his will. “Do you mean it? We’re family?” He hadn’t known until that moment how badly he had wanted to hear something like this deep down, even if he still didn’t dare allow himself to think anyone would think of him as family he still hoped.
And Wukong smiled softly, standing to pull his student into a strong hug. “Yeah. Yeah, we are... but yeah, I dunno if I’m ready to be ‘dad’ though.”
Xiaotian snorted through his tears. “We can start with ‘vaguely fatherly figure’?”
