What are your thoughts on the two other monkeys? Idk if you ever heard of them, but it's the Red Bottom Ape and Long Armed Gibbon.

i actaually had some pretty lore heavy origin story hcs for those guys a couple of years ago, but i dont think i ever posted them. ill put some of the old art here and paste the lore under a cut cause its LONG (replaced the old swk and maq in the last pic with some more recent ones bc my hcs for them changed so much lmao)

their lore was well researched i spent days on it but it was a couple years ago lmao, its based on the principals they represent plus which of yin/yang they represent

long armed gibbon- can seize the sun and the moon, distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars

gibbon was born when a seed from a fir tree fell from heaven to earth. it landed on top of an eroded mountian and a tree started growing. after several hundred years, when the tree stretched high enough and was wise enough and the pine cones had gone from dark purple to blue, the trunk split one day at sunrise on a blue misty morning and gibbon walked into the world

red-buttocked horse monkey- who has knowledge of yin and yang, understands human affairs, is adept in its daily life and able to avoid death and lengthen its life

horse was born from a drop of water flung from a trough in heavens stables (part of the reason swk was so pleased to guard the horses when he went)

when she fell to earth she became a river that people often visited and talked around and played in. from this she came to understand human affairs. she also found she could help creatures avoid death or prolong their life by feeding their crops. when she knew enough, she climbed out of the river at sundown and walked into the world

sun wukong, the wise stone monkey- who knows transformations, recognizes the seasons, discerns the advantages of earth, and is able to alter the course of planets and stars

stealing from nezha reborn where the myth goes that when nüwe patched the sky, the leftover stone was where swk came from, but im changing it to one of the tiles that was used to create the furnace was dropped, leaving a monkey sized gap where he could later on slot into to keep himself alive in there. the tile was knocked out of the basket by the wind and fell to earth and this was the only one that landed on ffm. you know the story here, he absorbed chi from heaven AND earth which is why hes so powerful

six eared macaque- who has a sensitive ear, discernment of fundamental principles, knowledge of past and future, and comprehension of all things

macaque was born very suddenly when a piece of moon rock broke off and fell to earth on a new moon. the resulting meteor created a huge and sudden flash of light in a forest which created hundreds of stark shadows at once. the shadows condensed and the resulting being wouldnt have lived if it hadnt been a new moon because he needed the next hours of darkness to collect himself into a full being. but before the night was done, a new monkey was born who was able to hear everything in the radius he had collected shadows from, which if youve ever seen a meteor flash, is a long way

somethin interesting abt the things that created them- swks tile was actually heavenly, which is why he represents primarily yang (heaven). his was the only one that was CRAFTED BY heaven. gibbon and horse are both from something that fell from heaven and then the earth changed its form (the tree grew on earth from a heavenly seed, and the drop of water became a river) whereas macaque, representing the yin is fully of earth, the meteor that created him was from heaven but he didnt directly come from the meteor, he came from the shadows it created on earth. his only connection is to the earth

#yeah i just never posted any of it for some reason #i think there was more lore but idk where it is #mk #ask #ig ill put it in the tag since its a bunch of art #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #mk art #my art #also idk why this post is fucking breaking tumblr the two middle pictures show up side by side on mobile and above on desktop #i cant edit it from here either i tried to move the readmore so that it cut off gibbons part #and i just cant do ANYTHING

Jess , if you don't mind me asking, what happened between you guys? You seemed like you went so idk perfect together and we're deep in love.

//I'm sincerely sorry if it comes off as rude or disrespectful and you can 100% delete this ask if it at all offends you; but what is happening with you and Ashton? I'm really sorry for asking and I'm going to regret asking this as soon as I hit send

Okay guys. I’ll explain. Since about a few days after his birthday (June 15th), he had started being very distant and any time we would talk he would seem agitated and very done with me. Occasionally, he would suck it up and things would be fine and he’d be sweet with me. But for the most part, he didn’t seem to want much to do with me and wouldn’t even give a lame excuse, just ignore me. 

So about two weeks ago I went to get dinner at the breed, this place in town I go to socialize and get a free meal and clothes and tampons and shit bc I’m broke as fuck and never have any kinda money. There was this boy there sitting alone on his phone and he looked really pretty from the side so I was tryna muster up some courage to talk to him. Eventually, he got up to chase the cat Charlie and I giggled bc he was literally crawling across the floor like Smeegle (?) from lord of the rings. I told him I liked his smile. 

So for a few days after, Ashton was still treating me like I wasn’t important anymore. So I spent my time with Josh to occupy myself. On the third day I was at his apartment, and we were like standing up and making kool aid. I like leaned against his chest. He was really sweet and I like looked up at him and he kissed me. I kissed back. 

Anyways. At this point, I was heavily considering breaking up with Ashton because of his neglect. He would hardly text me, and he’d sleep immediately after he did, or he’d lie and say he was asleep when he wasn’t. He’d give me bullshit apologies and I Love You’s and just generally not treat me as if I was worth his time like I should have been. 

I will not use that as an excuse for cheating on Ashton. Just because he was neglecting me doesn’t mean I should have kissed someone else. But it happened. Josh is the guy you’ll see on my story a lot on my snap chat. 

So a few days later, I broke up with Ashton. I was with my best friend when I did it. She read all the chats and all the texts and can vouch for me on all this. Ashton played it off as cool, like he still loved me but thought it was for the best. This is what he did. At first, 

Then, he started blocking me on everything, talking hella shit, tryna tell my mother shit was going on. He was getting involved in shit that was not and never will be his business. He started changing my passwords, hacking into my shit, sending my mother pictures of me with hickeys and videos of me kissing Josh. He started changing my email passwords, getting on my tumblr and going through chats to send to my mother, I think he even tried logging into my facebook. I changed my snap chat password three times before he finally left it alone. 

He also sent me messages on sc before blocking me about how he never cared about me, how it was all just one giant lie, how I fell for his trap all over again just like I did when we were 13. How he was using me, how it was all bullshit and he never gave a damn about me, I was just a game to him. He never loved me, he hardly even cared about me, how I was just a sick fun way to pass time. How he hates everything about my personality, and how he was actually waiting for me to break up with him so he could be with someone irl that he had been talking too. 

So, he made this whole big fuss about how worthless I was to him and how it was all one big act, and how he doesn’t love me, never did, he’ll never miss me, he’ll never care about me, he never has except slightly before he really knew me. Then he gave this whole big speech about how he’s glad I cheated because he didn’t wanna be the bad guy, that he wanted it to be my fault and my fuck up for why we broke up. (news flash, yeh I did something bad but his words are so much worse than what I did). 

So he took my one fuck up as a reason to tear my heart out and break it into a million tiny little pieces. He could have just let me believe he still loved me, just let me feel shitty about leaving him and missing him. But no he had to do this shit. 

So now he keeps tryna get my mom to get Josh in some kind of trouble despite it not being his business in any way shape or form. But on the bright side, he’s agreed to leave well enough alone as long as I don’t contact him. So yeah, we were the perfect couple. We were so in love, we had the perfect story, we were soul mates. We were a big fucking lie. 

Worst part is I’m still in love with him. I’m working hard to move on though. I’m with Josh officially, he’s really funny and sweet and dumb as shit but like, idk I kinda like it that way bc Ashton was smarter than me and I hated it. Josh treats me nicely and will drop like everything for me. He stopped his game in the middle of a match to come lay with me bc I was cold while napping on his couch. He defends me and lets me show up crying (which I did yesterday bc of Ashton) and is generally just really good to me. He keeps tampons under his sink for me and holds my hand when we go places and buys girly shampoo and stuff bc I shower at his house a lot (I don’t have a shower) and he carredis hit for me even without me asking and he’s just..he’s a really good guy. 

Idk if it’s serious, if it ever will be. He could break my heart. But at least I’m not feeling lonely in my relationship anymore like I was with Ashton. At least with Josh, it’s clear he likes me and has interest in me. So yeah. Sorry for the long ass post. But that’s what happened :/
