#cause I feel like macaque is not just bitter about thinking he died to wukong but maybe some stuff that built up to that

[puppyeared]

I just skimmed through the art part of your blog and holy bajeebus your LMK art is so beautiful and the headcanon ideas you come up with are so good I wanna steal em-

Kinda wanna see like a part 2 of the little angst you did between MK and Macaque a while ago. It's so interesting and I wanna see Macaque's reaction in your art style. (You don't have to of course, it's just a suggestion [idk if i spelled that right])

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day/night!

Hope this is to your liking ^^

Part one here

#I’m sure there are some character nuances im forgetting but well 🤷🏽 #I want their misunderstanding or whatever they have going on between then come to a head. literally just going ‘wait what’ #for me I think it’s entirely possible that there was an actual fight and maybe tension leading up to that point #cause I feel like macaque is not just bitter about thinking he died to wukong but maybe some stuff that built up to that #maybe the fight was just the breaking point. maybe they’re idiots who don’t talk about it because they think they’re on the same page idk #chipper-smol wrote a cool theory abt them using macaques ‘you’re nothing’ line in s4ep1. from what I understand it could be a direct parall #parallel to when he said that to MK right before MK regained his nerve and hit macaque in the eye.. since flying bark foreshadowed monkey mk #waaaay back in season 1 (where his shadow is his monkey form in the opening) i think that could be deliberate #and they could have gotten billy to voice an entirely different line for that scene. but they reused his line from s3 #in a very specific scene with wukongs narrative foil. hm #that aside I would have liked to hear billy voice the ‘you abandoned me’ line that would have killed me. but that’s just me lol #also looking at this I should have shaded the last frame to make it look more dramatic and serious but I ran out of time :( #if anything I want to see MK try and help them get back together. poor kid tries so hard to understand people so I think it would be cool to #see that happen. that’s what I like about him.. he asked macaque why he was working for LBD instead of accusing him of dooming everyone bc #he wants to and he tried to comfort spider queen by admitting he was scared of LBD too 😭😭 #my art #myart #Lego Monkie kid #lmk #Monkie kid #lmk spoilers #Lego Monkie kid spoilers #lmk macaque #six eared macaque #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lmk season 4 #Lego Monkie kid s4

What do you do early in the morning instead of getting back to sleep? Of course think about the monkeys XD

I just dhjjgd love Wukong and Macaque and god they are both a mess!

I am pretty sure Wukong has ADHD with his legendary impulsivity and just forgetting things the moment they aren’t in front of him(like, it was years when he left his monkeys to find immortality XD) And now I am pretty sure he is depressed. His jttw crew probably died, since sealing his former sword brother DBK under mountain caused him to just dissappear. He isolated himself for hundred of years and nothing in the show indicates that he talks with anyone aside MK and maybe his lawyer. The man is the social butterfly yet even when MK’s friends were right there to talk he leaves. And I am preeeetty sure he developed an Atlas syndrom, caring all the responsibilities on his shoulders and feeling like everything is his fault.

And then there is Macaque. Oh boy. This man is an enigma. Like what do you waaaant?xD So start with simple, he actually misses the old days with Wukong, his play sounds melancholic, until the bitterness flows in. I am pretty sure that is self sabotage. He doesn’t allow himself to let go and actually fix his relationship with Wukong. There is a burning mix between ‘He abandoned me, it’s his fault, I hate him!’ that leads his motivations and “I was not good enough, I hate myself’ that passively crumbles him. Pretty sure he perceived them like a whole with Wukong being the better half. It’s not hard to fall into bad behaviour if you are already believe you are bad.

Now to their fall out. You see, I don’t believe Wukong would have attacked unprovoked. In JTTW he killes him, in LMK he attacks him hard enough to scar, but doesn’t kill. I also don’t believe that Macaque attacked Wukong cause he was evil all along. They were best friends. The play is Macaque’s pov. There had to be a misunderstanding between them, mixed with their personal issues. Wukong probably didn’t notice the growing distress in Macaque with how quickly Wukong was gaining power to the point that Macaque was sure he didn’t work for it at all, while Macaque struggled to at least keep up. And then to Macaque... what would be the reason for his attack from JTTW, since I think LMK still would follow the basic chronology. Why would Macaque snap? And then it hit me. What if Macaque, like Wukong, has an unchecked... issue. Something like NPD, narcissism. Narcissists can’t admit they are wrong, that they made mistake. There are insecurities deep inside that push these people to crave love, attention, the need to be always right, to be the best. They have harder time empathising with others. And also... they tend to put this one person onto pedestal. To idolise them, love and adore. Until they do something wrong, something different and suddenly the pedestal crumbles and instead of love there is hatred. Wukong’s journey changed him, but Macaque doesn’t see it like that. He sees a personal betrayal for more power.

‘You abandoned me for this?! Then I will take it away from you for myself!!’
