What if Monkey Y/N was a wanted by the celestial realms and Monkey Y/N has a dangerous weapon that only she can use.
Now this is different😯 let's begin this is monkey (Y/N)'s Weapon 👇
Tumblr media
(Lmk Wukong) Excaliborg the Most dangerous weapon in all of heaven and earth. If anybody worth their celestial power knows about this weapon it's unpredictable. Not to mention very picky about It's users. Has been used for many violent deaths across the Centuries of the world. This weapon sent shivers down his spine Because of how it was even able to kill a immortal. If that's how powerful is at one day the So that's still around what's turned on its head when it disappeared one day Everybody searched for it but it was never found. And everybody lived in fear ever since. So you can imagine his shock when he finds his monkey. Queen with the bat that was missing for Centuries and the fact that you are able to use it any time you want. Wukong Is better be careful around you or else He's going to know what Macaque felt when he died😨
Tumblr media
(Mk Reborn Wukong) He was frozen. He just stood and stared at you and at that cursed bat. He knows very well What that bad is anybody anybody worth their celestial power knew what it is. Excaliborg. He would never admit this, but he was shaking Inferior just looking at it was one of the most powerful weapons known on the Earth. Nobody know where it came from and a fact that, His monkey queen can use it at will at any time with an absolutely no problem at all. He would never tell you directly but he had every right to love and fear you. Because if you feel any kind of negative way you could absolutely end him😨
Tumblr media
(HIB Wukong) You would think he had ptsd With the look he gave you When you showed him your weapon for the first time. He thought that was A freaking Myth, a Legend, A horror story that the jade emperor would use to keep his subjects in line. But no, he saw it, he saw it in person and he has never been so afraid in his entire a immortal life. And his queen is Is using it and nothing is happening to her. That was the day he truly knew who was more powerful. For what is a king to a goddess😨
Tumblr media
(NR Wukong) Yo he flat out freaked out. He heard the legend of Excaliborg Is a mysterious but deadly weapon Nobody knows where it came from nobody knows who made it And most importantly nobody knew how to use it. And his queen was using like it was her weapon in the Place. He knew of the countless amount of deaths that Is cursed bat had brought to the world. At first he thought the celestial realm was joking about it being able to kill an immortal Now he hopes he won't ever have wants to find out😨
Tumblr media
(Netflix Wukong) Even though he vaguely heard about it, he immediately felt the fear whenever anybody bought it up. He heard all kinds of spooky stories about a Excaliborg And all it the conspiracy theory is about can imagine the look Is pure terror on his face He found his Queen taking out a bunch of demons with that. It was a freaking Blood bath something he can never understand and you may not know it But he learned if he knows what Good for him to love respect and make you happy Like his life depends on it because if there was one rumor that stood out That he never wants to find out is If it can really kill an immortal😰

This look like the face of someone who's a-one-okey-doke with being feared to you?
I rewatched the scene where Homelander imagines murdering a whole crowd of people. And I love that the show actually made him look horrified at what (he imagined) he'd done. He sees those bodies, and the first reaction is: "Oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck what have I done, nobody will ever love me or cheer for me ever again."
I'm pretty sure he's going to murder a ton of people for real in S4 because now he thinks there are people who will *love* him for it.
But being feared and hated is still his absolute worst nightmare.

The Primordial Dynamic
Tumblr media
“There are marvelous relations between beings and things, in this inexhaustible whole, from sun to grub, there is no scorn, each needs the other… Every bird that flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's beak breaking the egg, and it guides the birth of the earthworm, and the advent of Socrates. Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins… A bit of mold is a pleiad of flowers; a nebula is an anthill of stars. The same promiscuity, and still more wonderful, between the things of the intellect and material things. Elements and principles are mingled, combined, espoused, multiplied one by another, to the point that the material world, and the moral world are brought into the same light… In the vast cosmic changes, universal life comes and goes in unknown quantities, rolling everything up in the invisible mystery of the emanations, using everything, losing no dream from any single sleep, sowing a microscopic animal here, crumbling a star there, oscillating and gyrating, making a force of light, and an element of thought, disseminated and indivisible dissolving all, that geometric point, the self.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
Love and Fear are the quintessential forces of expansion and restriction within the physical universe. In human terms, they are what we instinctively gravitate towards and expel from. In the physical sciences, they are regarded as opposing binaries. In cosmology and religion, they have been regarded as primeval beings or forces associated with creation and destruction. Regarding the psyche, they are the First Principles of positive and negative emotion. To strip any emotion of its social and behavioral trappings is to reduce it to either Love or Fear. When viewed in this light human behavior becomes far more understandable and a great many obstacles no longer appear so impossible to surmount.
Love and Fear are dynamic forces as opposed to static binaries; a magnetism altogether different from that of the humble classroom magnet. I have come to regard them similarly to Aeons in the sense that they behave like higher organisms of which descending orders of matter, energy, and consciousness are essentially involved components (e.g. cells). They are part of us, flow through us, but are simultaneously beyond us. Humanity is not insignificant or meaningless compared to them, but quite the contrary. They grant us the opportunity and means to attain completion.
A fundamental truth of Love and Fear is that they exist in varying degrees within the sum composite of the created universe, including but not up to:
Biocentric (as a mechanism/particle)
Anthropocentric (as a thought-form)
Logocentric (as frequencies/emotions)
Cosmocentric (as energy/waves)
Psychocentric (as an organism)
Inherent in man is a unique separateness and the awareness thereof: we descend from Nature but are not of it. This has been conveyed in allegory (Genesis 3:4, 3:22-24) and verified through paleoanthropology. It is an inescapable human trait to deviate from the natural order, struggling against complacency while ascending the steps of higher ideals. The cosmos is kept in balance by the principle of duality, from the tiniest particle to the grandest star, which is reflected in the microcosm: when one defies their true nature and chosen purpose they begin to stagnate and suffer.
About 4 million years ago, our planet experienced a climate shift which set our hominid ancestors on the course towards civilization. Among the biological shifts they underwent was the straightening of the spine. As our ancestors began to walk upright, they were forced to look forward, creating a scission between the emergent species and the homeostatic order of Nature; whence came a new kind of intellect, once concerned with the future. One of the most significant differences between Homo sapiens and earlier hominids was the dramatic increase of the cranial capacity and the simultaneous development of smaller jaws and teeth. These evolutionary changes paved the first steps toward a species genetically predisposed towards communication. 
We are a species that doesn’t quite have a place in the natural order. While emotion and intellect are clearly observable in the behavior of animals, they lack the creative spark known to humanity—the qualitative difference between the soul and spirit. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that given their nature animals possess no need for our spiritual flame and the complications thereof. It is because of this Promethean Spark that humanity is prone to genius and madness in equal measure, as we are easily defined by our passion, inspiration, beauty, ingenuity, advancement, suffering, and irrationality—essentially, that which brings about empowerment, evolution, and change.
Humans are the only species on Earth known to possess a sense of Self. Carl Jung defined the Self as the sum composite of an individual consciousness. Ian Lungold defined consciousness as “the awareness of being aware” and man, as Erich Fromm writes, “is life being aware of itself.” To quote a line from The Shoes of the Fisherman (a film I’m perhaps too fond of), “man is the animal that knows and knows that he knows.”
There is balance in all things and from the moment humanity gained that Promethean Spark, the presence of Self, we have been children of both Chaos and Cosmos. Their dance can be observed on the subatomic level in electrons existing in superposition and the instinctual consciousness of flora and fauna. It is with the human species that it begins to meet genuine resistance, as we are uniquely displaced from the natural order. To deny one is to deny a critical part of ourselves. It is unhealthy for the psyche to be always happy, always loving, and never hateful or despaired. Such a mind inhibits growth.
It’s far easier to paint the world in corridors of shadows and lights rather than take stock of the vastness. Love is chaotic, messy, and without guarantees but without it we would still be living in caves, brutalizing one another over genetic material. It is a single half of the primordial magnetism, a vitality older than the Cosmos. I do not doubt that there is symmetry enough in the cosmos for the dynamism of Love to flourish and unpredictability enough for us to evolve that we may appreciate it all the more. 
The Primordial Dynamic has appeared in allegory and symbolism for thousands of years. It has been embodied in symbols such as the sonnenrad, taijitu, hunab ku, and merkaba. Nearly every ancient civilization developed an understanding of the cosmic equilibrium and many creation myths illustrated this with warring titans and primeval forces. Although this cosmic mystery play changed its countenance with each retelling, it maintains certain characteristics:
It is a perpetual struggle in infinite space between opposing forces, e.g. attraction and repulsion, in a process that ensures continued life, death, and rebirth in the Cosmos. 
The Laws of Heaven are the same as the Laws of Earth. The universe resonates with the same current which is disseminated through descending orders of consciousness. The changing tension of the Primordial Dynamic plays out in a series of rises and falls, affecting gods and planets as much as human beings. Humanity’s journey is linked to that of the stars, for what happens in the Cosmos happens on Earth.
Matter and energy exist in a state of entanglement. Every particle interacts with every other particle and every object interacts with every other object. As such, time and space are not detrimental to the completion of the cosmic mystery play.
The Primordial Dynamic is a balance between the Principle or Form of Being (Physis) and the assertion of it (Logos). Human perception is grounded in the interaction between matter and vibration. Matter is inherently passive and catalytic, the seat of potential that manifests in the womb or an ungerminated seed. It is defined by feminine, receptive energy. Vibration is dynamic and volatile, capable of both creation and destruction and is thus understood as an inherently masculine force.
Tumblr media
Just as human cells comprise organs, which in turn comprise our physical selves, so too does humanity function as the active cells of the planet Earth. The human body mirrors the surface of the Earth; circulatory pathways become rivers, the lungs become trees, the womb becomes the effervescent mantle, and the atmosphere becomes the skin, which happens to be the largest organ in the human body.
For much of their lives, some human beings are not unlike fitful dreamers encapsulated in the volcanic womb of the maternal Earth. A womb is a place of passive development and safety, a realm of unbridled potentiality borne of the chaotic waters that precede creation; yet all too often humans find themselves clashing with their nature and destroying their sanctuary. By our very nature, human beings are intimate with and separate from the natural order. As the only species on Earth to have evolved a sense of Self, we are the means for a conscious universe to experience itself; for evidence, we need only to look to the developing fetus. 
We begin our journey as a single-celled organism called a zygote, a synthesis of masculine and feminine principles. After the egg is fertilized it divides and multiplies rapidly to form an embryo. The fourth week of development gives way to the pharyngeal arches, the precursors to gills in aquatic species. In terrestrial vertebrates these form parts of the jaw, larynx, and inner ear. Through the course of our evolution, human beings have modified these tissues for verbal communication as opposed to extracting oxygen from water. In the fifth and sixth weeks of development, the heart and lungs form and descend as well as the vestigial tail, giving the embryo a reptilian appearance. By the eighth week, the vestigial tail is absorbed into the body forming the tailbone, giving the child a more mammalian appearance; it is from this point forward that the child is referred to as a fetus. 
Around the sixteenth week, the fetus develops its first hairs called the lanugo. These cover the body in abundance by the twentieth week, giving the fetus a recognizable primate appearance. By the thirty-sixth week, the fetus has shed most if not all of its lanugo and begins to resemble a human child. Human gestation is a reflection of the entire span of the evolution of all life on this planet. We are not viruses or parasites, but the manifestation of consciousness. This has been observed since time immemorial by ancient peoples and recorded in modern religions.
There is still so much more for us to discover about our history, our place in the universe, and most importantly about ourselves. I’ve always believed that there is profound goodness in the seat of the human soul. We are capable of great compassion and terrible cruelty in an unequivocal measure, yet at the core of our being, there is an unbounded iridescence that defies the mere duality of light and shadow. Our existence is neither meaningless and random nor fated and supreme. A slight shift in the stellar winds or mutation in a virus could have forever altered the course of human history and that makes humanity all the more precious.

Q: Is Love all that there is?
Bashar: Everything is made out of it. It’s what you translate the existence frequency as. It is the vibration of existence itself. Your translation of it, is Love.
Q: So is there no such thing as fear? It’s basically love or lack of love?
Bashar: Well, there is no real lack and the idea is that fear is an illusion. It’s an expression of love in the negative context. Because it’s an illusion of disconnection.
