#Like SWK knows whatever the fuck MK is but MK knows something about his Monkey Form that we (including SWK) don't

[imminent-danger-came]

WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY. WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY! WHAT WAS HE-

Sun Wukong: "Kid—new armor isn't going to cut it! We have to hit Azure with everything we've got! You can't just, ignore this whole part of your power because it scares you!"

MK: "I-"

-

LITERALLY WHAT. WHAT WAS IT. MK HONEY SWEETIE DARLING WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO TELL WUKONG HERE

#look at MK's FACE #HE IS SO DISTRAUGHT #Scenes I lay awake thinking about #Like we all know Wukong encouraging MK to use his monkey form is going to bite them in the ass #But HOW #Like SWK knows whatever the fuck MK is but MK knows something about his Monkey Form that we (including SWK) don't #''Well alright then.'' terrible. terrible. ''Oh—there's nothing mindless about me friend!'' TERRIBLE. #Hm guess I'm just having another breakdown about the special. #the light is no mystery #<- new Wukong an MK tag I wanna be emo #anyways #imp tag #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk MK #Hello I am re-remembering Wukong's absolute faith in MK and how this is both a virtue and a vice #(aka oops if MK loses control SWK will be completely blindsided by it) #I am also remembering how MK's undying loyalty to SWK is also both a virtue and a vice! #(Aka if MK learns SWK did anything he can't justify that will shatter him) #These two would basically do anything for each other—but in like the fucked up way! So: haha we are in danger

Hello! Sorry to send you this without any art, but I am curious to know something. You know of the quote "it's rotten work" and it's variations, right? May I introduce you to mine: "It's rotten work. Especially if it's me. Especially to you. But dear god, I'll fucking do it."

What do you think it says to you?

Also, do you think that upon reflection from the mountain screaming match, whenever Macaque actually makes SWK actually, truly angry in an argument, instead of screaming back, he just shuts his mouth and goes quiet instead, giving Macaque the silent treatment by avoiding him and avoiding talking to him, not to punish him, but so that he wouldn't accidentally say anything to start a worse fight? Like, "I'm super pissed at you (and also about something else) but I don't want to take it out on you so I'm just not going to acknowledge you until I cool down enough". He won't obviously leave the room if Macaque's around, he just won't respond to him. How do you think Macaque is gonna react to that new response? Might be OOC for SWK, but please indulge me in this anyway.

Have a good month! Might start doing sketches of Júhua again soon.

hey! dw it’s totally fine for you to send me asks whenever or whatever, art or not, I love receiving asks anyways 🥰

“It's rotten work. Especially if it's me. Especially to you. But dear god, I'll fucking do it."

ngl this is one of my favorite variations of the original quote simply because it fits a lot of my favorite ship dynamics 😂 mostly because to me, it means “I love you. I want to cherish you as you deserve, but dear lord will it take some work! But if it’s for you, I’ll do it.” (this is why I love merthur, thiam, and shadowpeach)

[long answer under the cut]

in the context of shadowpeach, I can see this quote working for both Sun Wukong and Macaroni post-s4 where they are willing to try and rekindle something from their past. to me, the past seasons were mostly the two of them not giving at all: Marconi was upset and bitter and vengeful while Wukong viewed Macaroon as a hinderance and just another past friend who wants his head and chose projecting his issues onto MK as a nice alternative (I’m sure Wukong was deeply hurt by Mac’s desire to kill or harm him, but ngl Monkey King’s gif a hard shell to crack, so outward appearance is simply annoyance and distain. which is ironic given that it’s Mac is the most stand-offish compared to Wukong’s friendliness but we aren’t here to talk about that and I need to stay on track)

but then we get to the s4 special, and it’s at this point where swk had (most likely) been running through his past memories and being met with all his past regrets and mistakes. he is literally being forced to face through issues this monkey has spent over centuries burying, trying to forget, and trying to forgive himself for. funny how in his attempt to escape death (which he succeeded. 7 times over), Wukong found a new thing to run from :3 ahaha, how hilarious 🫠

meanwhile, we got Macadoo, newly reformed and possible 2nd mentor to MK post-s3. given what was shown in the show in s3 finale and 4x09, Mac has kept to himself. it’s possible he’s been freeloading off of FFM without Sun Wukong’s knowledge (would not be surprised lol) and keeping a safe distance from danger whilst staying close enough to be there if needed (which is funny bc tho Mac acts like he doesn’t want to help or be there, it’s very clear he stayed to be like a last resort for MK)

however, reformed he may be, Macky still finds it in himself to take a stab at Wukong. though we didn’t see him do it to swk at the s4 finale, i wouldn’t put it past him doing the same thing in later episodes. by the end of s4, it is clear that both monkeys want to try and have some kind of truce, but both are still hurt by the other. unfortunately, while Wukong had plenty of centuries to process his pain and move on, Mac hasn’t (because death, then revenge post-resurrection as you do). frankly, i have a feeling that Macackle’s “processing phase” (for some reason idk what else to call it) began post-s3 bc he had time in his hands now. time to really sit down and think.

that being said, Mac only had about a year or so of time to really process his anger and broken relationship with Wukong (and other traumatic shit like LBD and dying and no longer being dead), so he might still find it in himself to lash out or poke the beat that is Wukong since them no longer being at odds is weird and scary and too dangerous for him.

meanwhile, you have Wukong who wants to try and rekindle the old friendship or be able to forgive himself for how his past self treated their old relationship. he has already gone through a journey on how to better control his anger and grudges. not to mention he spent 500 years isolated from everybody, so his past reaction to retaliate is more subdued. also, he did promise MK that he would be a better mentor: be more honest, be more present, be supportive of MK & who he is friends with (aka, Macncheese)

so, yeah, I can see Wukong being the one to hold back from lashing back at Marconi if the guy did try and push his buttons. and I absolutely see how he fits as the speaker for that quote in the coming season with the potential of him repeating it like a mantra while Mackerel is macscheming ways to infuriate him further in an episode

#sometimes i wonder if misspelling macdonald’s name takes away from the metas i write about him #but i can’t help myself bc it’s fun and i am committed to the bit #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk six eared macaque #lmk macaque #six eared macaque #macaque #lmk sun wukong #sun wukong #shadowpeach

Id LOVE to see the peachpig fic where Pigsy wasn't told MK was gonna be SWK's successor!!!

Ask and you shall receive! I edited it a little bit. This is 2k words and it’s implied they you know at the end-

I think I wrote this months ago. Also when I say edit, I mean changed like two things then just skimmed as I copy and pasted

———-

It was at that moment that Bajie decided he was going to kill his husband. Rage swept through him at the thought of a few days ago. Wukong gave MK the staff and didn’t tell Bajie about it. He hadn’t even known Wukong wanted a successor! There were some talks but nothing serious, apparently his spouse wasn’t content with retirement, he should have expected that.

Pigsy was pissed and he decided that he was going to be a widower. Tang and Sandy were confused about the fact that the monkey never mentioned the whole successor thing but they were content to let it be, Pigsy was not. He had told Wukong enough about MK, that doesn’t excuse his husband from throwing his kid into danger.

He stomped up to the mountain, his brows furrowed and fists clenched. The monkeys could tell something was wrong and avoided the angry pig. Wukong was on his cloud, eating a peach when he spotted his husband, oblivious to his angry gaze.

He floated down gently and wrapped his husband in a hug, his tail wagged. “Babe! I haven’t seen you in a few days! I missed you so much!” Since the start of the shop, Pigsy gained his own apartment and there would be times where they didn’t see each other. The monkey visited his husband practically every day but they both got busy and luckily, Wukong didn’t show up the day after. “You look wonderful, babe!” He planted a kiss against his lips, Pigsy fought the urge to kiss back and the rising blush.

He pushed his spouse away. “Hi, Wukong.”

Wukong raised an eyebrow yet kept his tail wagging. “How are you, love?”

He scowled. “Wukong, we need to talk.”

“About?”

“The kid.”

“Oh! He did really well, huh?”

“Is that all you have to say to me?”

“Huh?”

He took a step forward. “Why didn’t you tell me that the kid was going to be your successor? You kept the truth from me!”

“Huh? Oh, that. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t think it would be a big deal.”

Yep, he was going to be a widower. “Didn’t think it was a big deal?! He’s my freakin’ kid! I told ya about him all the time! Ya know what kind of past that kid has! Then I find out he has your staff and now he’s fightin’ demons!”

“What’s the problem? He’s a fan of mine! You saw how happy he is!”

“What the fuck are you not gettin’? You didn’t consult me on this! I didn’t think there was a possibility for MK to have the staff until he showed up in the shop with it! Then all of a sudden, we’re on a journey to return the staff back to ya! Ya couldn’t have picked someone else?!”

“He was perfect for it! The perfect candidate to be my successor!”

“Perfect for it?! You could have handled the whole mess on your own like ya always do! What do ya need a damn successor for?”

Wukong frowned, his tail dropped along with his ears. “I’m sorry… I just thought it would be a nice surprise.”

“A nice surprise? I THOUGHT HE DIED!” His husband recoiled. “We all thought he died!” He pulled his husband by the shirt and brought him close. “I THOUGHT MY FUCKIN’ KID DIED TRYIN’ TO GET TO YOU!”

“I would never let that happen,” he whispered.

“How was I supposed to know that? How was I supposed to know any of this? We’re supposed to tell each other everythin’, both small and big. Comes along with the promise of bein’ married. We’ve always done that up until now. You’re still so impulsive! Ya don’t think of anybody but yourself!”

His husband growled. “I thought about the kid too! And who’s the one who only thought about himself, huh? Says the guy who got us captured daily!”

“I’ve changed and I thought ya did too! When ya wanted to retire, I was shocked but I knew you wanted it. Then ya couldn’t pick up the staff to just deal with DBK yourself and get it over with? It would have been so easy for ya to do!”

“That’s the meaning of retired, you idiot! Meaning I’m done with that stuff! Heavens, you don’t have any brains really. Just like back then, getting us captured like a dumbass.” The hurt expression on his husband’s face made him double take. “Wait, baby, I-”

Pigsy shoved him. “So I’m just a dumbass to ya, huh?!” His husband had called him an idiot or dumbass in an affectionate tone but his tone was harsh. “Is that why ya married me? Because I was too stupid to say no? I’m just an easy lay to you! Someone you could laugh at!”

“Love, that’s not it at all! I married you because I love you! I didn’t tell you because I knew this would happen! I knew we would get into an argument about it! The kid had all the right qualifications to be my successor!”

“I told ya I thought he died! You were goin’ to let me believe that my kid died! Ya know what…” He took off his ring.

The monkey’s eyes widened. “Babe, what are you doing?”

The pig threw it on the ground. “I’m done. I’m not goin’ to be an easy lay for you. I’m not goin’ to be someone for you to laugh at! We tell each other everythin’! We used to.” Tears pricked his eyes, this was their worst fight yet. “Ya almost got MK killed and ya expect him to handle your dirty work. You let me believe that my kid was killed.”

He began to leave when Wukong pulled him back. “Baby-”

“Don’t fuckin’ touch me! I don’t want to talk to you ever again!” He left in a huff while his husband stared down at the ring and began crying, thinking over his mistakes.

Weeks passed with Pigsy refusing to speak to his husband, no matter how many texts and calls Wukong had left. If Pigsy was being honest, he missed him, he missed his furry heater who used to tell him jokes and wrap his arms around him, kissing him gently and sweetly. He loved his spouse, he truly did but he was so pissed at the thought of MK being in danger. The kid had a tough life and while he could handle it himself, the pig wanted to make sure he was safe. MK had grown into a worthy successor, the pig will admit.

MK had handled every incident that had come his way, the weather station, the clones, and the spider queen stuff. Heavens, the spider queen. He had to apologize to Tang for that one. He didn’t know what had gotten into him, he was mad at Wukong but he would never flirt with anybody else besides his husband. Tang realized she placed a spell on him which made sense but Pigsy had felt awful for practically cheating on his husband and oh yea, Tang being put in danger.

It was only a few days after the Spider Queen that he laid on the couch of his apartment. He picked up his phone and scanned the messages his husband left him, begging for him to talk to him yet not bothering to go to the shop. Wukong could be an idiot sometimes but he knew to give the pig some space.

Memories of their relationship flooded his mind, their first meeting where he held his own against the Great Sage, being Tang’s disciple, starting to realize he was in love, the denial, flirting with women to get his mind off the monkey, jealousy towards Tang who was in love with Sandy which was a whole other mess, acceptance, continuing to do everything to impress the monkey, the confession, years of dating then all that up to the point where they were finally wed.

He loved the memories, loved Wukong, he was betrayed yet maybe he should have made an attempt to see what was going through his spouse’s stupid head. The pig sighed, maybe he should call him.

A knock on the door cut off his thought process. He raised an eyebrow, who would be knocking at this time of night? The knock continued again, he reluctantly got up and answered it. He let out a slight gasp to see his husband with his tail drooped, his eyes, which looked red from crying, trying to avoid his gaze.

“Hi,” Sun Wukong whispered.

“Hi,” he whispered back. It was as if time stood still, he resisted the urge to wrap his husband in a hug.

He asked, “Is it alright if I come in?”

“Uh… yea, sure.” He stepped aside to which his husband walked in. “What are ya doin’ here?”

“I wanted to talk… I heard about the Spider Queen stuff from the kid.”

“O-oh… yea…”

“Are you okay?”

“Yea…”

The monkey nodded. “Good, good.” His fists clenched. “I’m glad you’re safe even though you flirted with her which got you in trouble in the first place.”

“Wukong-”

“No, I get it. I really do. She’s attractive or whatever, right?”

“Wukong, yes, I flirted with her.” His husband sucked in a breath. “But that wasn’t me. I can’t justify my behavior but believe me when I say that I would never cheat on you.”

“Why wouldn’t you? There are a lot of better options out there even if your choice was a spider.”

“She wasn’t my choice.” He gently guided his husband to the couch where they both sat down.

“She would be a better option than me. Anyone would be better than me. I’m so sorry. I was selfish and immature and I should have consulted you on everything. I put ou- your kid in danger. I let you believe he died.” He kneeled in front of his husband, his head hung low. “I get why you want to divorce me.”

The pig’s eyes widened. “You think I wanted to divorce you?”

He nodded. “You threw your ring away… if you want to divorce me, just say it and I’ll make it happen if…” his bottom lip jutted out. “If it will make you happy. I’ll give you everything, just ask me and I’ll give it to you, no matter the cost, no matter the price.”

Bajie frowned. “Cupcake, sweetheart, look at me.” His husband refused to look at him. He grabbed his husband’s face and tilted his chin up, his red eyes pained him. “Look at me. Cupcake, I don’t want to divorce you. I never want to divorce you. I was just pissed. I would never.”

“Are you sure? You deserve better, better than me…”

Wukong was feeling insecure, during their relationship, it was obvious that Wukong could be extremely insecure at times especially when it came to their love, fighting was more of Wukong’s thing, love was a tricky area especially since he spent time denying how he felt for the pig. “There is no better, honey. I was pissed but I had no right to throw the ring at you. It’s just we tell each other everythin’. I was goin’ to tell you about the Spider Queen incident. Baby, I would never cheat on you.”

“You should. You should have. I don’t deserve you. I didn’t think about your feelings. I was an idiot. That kid, he has something in him, something that I thought I could train. I should have told you. I know how much you care about that kid and I care about him too, from your stories and just from simply watching him. I know he’s your kid, I know how important he is to you. I just thought if I told you, you would have stopped it.”

“I would have eventually understood if you had told me ahead of time and he’s our kid, not just mine.” He thought back to his spouse’s earlier words. “Love, I’m not goin’ to cheat on you. You don’t deserve that. Of course you deserve me. We make mistakes, babe. That’s who we are.”

“But this was our worst fight. I made you upset. I hurt you. You deserve better than an idiot who only looks for himself. I’m sorry I called you a dumbass. I didn’t marry you as some sort of sick joke. I’m sorry for everything.”

“It’s okay, baby. It’s okay. I know. You deserve me. I love ya so much. If I didn’t think you deserve me then I would have pushed you away. You know how happy I felt when I found out you felt the same way. You saw my reaction, I was so relieved.”

“I don’t. I don’t deserve you. What if… what if you find someone better? What if I’m not enough to satisfy you? What if after these years you find out I’m not what you want?” He began sobbing. “I love you so much. I don’t want to lose you. I want you to be happier than me. If you want to divorce me, just please say the word and I’ll give you whatever it is you want.”

Pigsy narrowed his eyes. “Hey! Don’t you dare talk about yourself that way! You’re enough, Wukong. You’ve always been enough. There is no better. We’ve been married for 1,400 years, I’m not goin’ to leave you. Babe, you’re the Great Sage, I was still surprised when ya wanted to go for a lowly pig demon in the first place. I’m so lucky that ya chose me even after all the trouble I’ve caused you. I used to get us captured on the daily, I used to flirt with women all the time to get my mind off you. I didn’t think I was good enough to be with you but here we are. I don’t want to hear you talk about yourself like that.” He wiped his husband’s tears.

Wukong growled at him. “Lowly? You’re not lowly! You’re a great Celestial Warrior that managed to fight me on even grounds! Sure, you got us in trouble but you always made up for it. Tch, lowly. I don’t like hearing you talking about yourself like you’re nothing.” Pigsy raised an eyebrow. “Oh. OH! I get it. I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay. We both get insecure sometimes.”

“I’m sorry for everything. I should have told you.”

“You should have but that’s all in the past now. You’re doin’ a great job trainin’ the kid from what I hear. I’m so proud of you, baby. We’ve come a long way from how we were before.”

“Thank you, honey. So you don’t want to divorce me?”

He shook his head. “Never. Not in a million years. You’re stuck with me and I’m stuck with you.”

His tail wagged. “Can I kiss you?”

“Obviously.”

“Just want to make sure.” He pressed a gentle kiss to his husband’s lips which quickly turned passionate in a matter of seconds.

“I missed you so much. We have a lot of time to make up for. A few weeks is too long.”

“It is. I missed you.” He pulled the ring from his pocket. “Here.”

Bajie beamed and kissed his cheek. “Thank you. I missed this. Aren't you goin’ to put it on me?”

His husband’s mouth quirked up and he nodded, he placed the ring on his finger and kissed it. “Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.”

“Are ya talkin’ about me or yourself?”

The king chuckled. “You.” He left a trail of kisses up and down his throat. “Mine,” he growled.

Bajie rolled his eyes. “Yes, yours. I’m sorry for falling under the Spider Queen’s trap.”

“It’s fine. I know it was a spell. Tang explained as much.”

“Hm, I’ll thank him later.”

“We’re okay now?”

“Yes, we’re okay.” At the answer, Wukong nipped at his neck. “Love~”

“It’s as you said, a few weeks is much too long. Want to go to our bedroom, dear?”

“Yes I do. You’re givin’ me a bunch of stuff later, got it? I demand a lot of kisses, cuddles, food and a bunch of other stuff.”

He chuckled. “Okay. Whatever you want. I love you.”

“I love you too.” He guided his husband to the bedroom where they whispered assurances of love and all was well.
