YELLOW1!!1 it's been a hot minute since I sent in an ask!
Since pokemon has really come to bite my butt, I wonder what kinda pokemon Mei and Macaque would have! (I'd guess Mei would have a gyrados for some reason, but it makes sense to me and that's good enough!)
the LMK storyboard director (Ashe Jacobson) actually made pokemon cards for the LMK gang based on her hcs of them! Although they were made during S1/2 and likely don't reflect current ideas or fanon (also too many legendaries for my taste). Also no Sandy card :(
Things I do love about each though:
He/They pronoun MK. MK having bunch of little monkey pokemon. Plus a Krabby for some reason. Also Age: Unknown foreshadowing... instead of the legendaries I could see him having a Ground type like a Gligar (cheeky bat pokemon based on a tyoe of Japanese yokai) or a Swinub (snow boar piglet).
Red Son out here with all the pronouns and a bunch of poor Bug/Steel types about to get melted XD. Honestly surprised that he doesn't have a Tauros. The Houndoom seems like an Erlang pokemon though, Red Son seems more of a Torchic kinda guy. I could also give him a legednary like Chi-Yu; a little piece of primordial fire based on the Chinese Great Peril of Hundun/Confusion.
Mei def deserves a Gyardos - no fault to Rayquaza but no legendaries allowed. Rapidash is perfect for her, but perhaps a shiny to fit her theme a little more + she def would be a Shiny hunter. Sceptile is a more subtle choice since it's a lizard pokemon with one of the highest base speed stats (450) and has sword-like leafy protrusions. I've seen ideas for her having a Blitzle (electric zebra pokemon) as well since it just seems like a Her pokemon to have.
I just love Tang having Shedinja (the cicada husk pokemon) partially because it falls into a little theory I have of him >:3 + Golden Cicada connection. Chimecho is also based on a type of shinto warding bell used to scare off spirits - a useful pokemon for a priest/superstitious nerd to have. The Hoothoot is adorable, he's just here cus of nerdiest. Spoink is based on a bible verse about casting wisdom to those who won't appriciate it (pearls before swine) so thats pretty Tang-coded. The Shuckle makes me think of Noodles and the infamous "don't fuckle with the Shuckle"-meme because of it's ability to become the most lethal attack pokemon under the right circumstances. Tang deserves another non-legendary tho so lets give him an artifact pokemon like a Golett or Baltoy for him to nerd about (and struggle to carry).
Pigsy has pigs. You know if Gen IX was out he'd have a LeChonk no question about it. The Munchlax is super adorable since is a hungry baby pokemon (reminds him of MK?), and the Clefable could be a hint at his amazing singing voice. Blipbug is a ladybird larva aka a "bookworm" pokemon - you know he got that one cus of Tang. The Ambipom is interesting tho - extra hands in the kitchen obvs, but maybe hinting at his incarnation's connection to SWK. I could def see him having "food"-type pokemon around too like Smoliv, Milcery, and/or Tatsugiri.
+Tang and Pigsy both have a pokemon that reminds them of eachother omg; Spoink and Blipbug. Perhaps the Spoink is (Pigsy's) Grumpig's baby?
Wukong using his flattering game art for his ID is very in-character of him XD. Most of his pokemon are really on the nose too - Infernape is legit based on him after all. I excuse the use of legendary pokemon (esp Landorus since it's a earth/cloud god pokemon) for him too since thats what he is. The most recent legendary pokemon is uber-Wukong coded tho - Pecharunt, based on the Peaches of Immortality combined with the japanese folktale of Momotaro + japanese death mythology. I could see Wukong also walking around with a bunch of horse (Mudsdale) and fruit pokemon (Boundsweet, Cherubi) as well. Maybe even having a team thats made of up pokemon that remind him of his old friends.
Macaque having a Zoroark and Zarude is super genius. Zoroark is a mimicry pokemon (based on kitsunes/huli-jings) and that checks out with what Macaque tried doing in the novel - also reminds me of my hc that Jiuweihuli took him under her wing. Zarude is a spooky legendary monkey pokemon obvs, but it's introduced in it's debut movie as "Dada" by the human it raised - sorta foreshadowing how the FFM baby monkeys really love Macaque. Gengar and Marshadow are great choices for his shadow powers ofc - with Marshow having a "lantern" kind vibe to it. Grimmsnarl I think was choosen based on it's Gigantamax form - it looks a lot like Macaque's Smoke Monster form. I could also see Macaque having a few Sneasels - little dark types based on a wind Yokai. I think that while he'd like sound/music-focused Pokemon, his ears are too sensitive to be around the moves - he'd start running the second he sees a Whimsur.
+Macaque and Wukong have Eevee-lutions that evolve based on high affection depending on time of day. Like the Sun and the Moon everybody. Oddly enough in the pokemon "I Choose You!" movie, Marshadow is considered a "guide" for those chosen by Ho-Oh (which Wukong has), early foreshadowing how Macaque becomes a legit mentor to MK.
Jin and Yin just have duo pokemon that work best together. These two def would buy both versions of a pokemon game so that they could play and trade together. The two NInetails is a cute reference to their mom - the OG Nine-Tailed Vixen. They need a Gourgeist for their Calabash tho.
This is the best i can do rn for poor Sandy; I used a mix of microsoft office word shapes, Imgflip, and the Pokecharms Trainer Id generator (I couldn't figure out how to change the trainer to a custom image).
I gave him Mantine and Lapras cus they're gentle "Ride" pokemon who like carrying people across water. Polteageist cus Tea and secrets. Smergle cus of art. Vivillion cus of the blue butterfly in "To Catch a Leaf" and the Dewpider cus Huntsman. Some more ideas include Dhelmise (the seaweed anchor pokemon), Misdreavus (cus of his necklace), and/or Machamp (wrestling theme in the Scroll of Memory). Lots of cat pokemon too - him and Nanu would get along. He's not a fighter at all - and neither are his pokemon. Don't underestimate them tho - they hit hard.
Additionally; Nezha has all snake pokemon + I can see him having a Charcadet. He's got a Phantump and a Dratini too but don't ask about them.
PIF has a swarm of Castform following her since they can't be blown away by her winds (she treats them like baby wind spirits). DBK has like fifty Tauros of different breeds' and a few Miltanks + a Scovillain who provides him with peppers.
Erlang has a Houndoom and nothing else... except maybe a Lotad who reminds him of his greatest regrets.
Chang'e owes a few bunny pokemon (Scorbunny, Buneary, Azumarill, Bunnelby etc) and an Alcremie, plus a bunch of stray Clefairy-line pokemon (moon origins) and Minior (meterorite/star candy pokemon). She also has a little Rowlet plush that she hugs tightly whenever she goes to sleep (Hou Yi's starter).
I feel like animal demons dont really "own" pokemon cus they see them as fellow demons/monster species. Wukong is an except since his are probably old friends/decended from pokemon he knew back on FFM.
this got a little away from me sorry - I love pokemon too <3

Hi is it ok if you do Yin and Jin x Sibling! Reader
Where reader feels like thier in thier brothers shadows and their way of coping with it causing serous damage to the mortals. They would hurt them...... at least not physically but definitely mentally. Until Yin and Jin catch wind of this by listening in to the mortals and being good big brothers to talk, discipline and get to the bottom on why thier sibling is acting this which the brother then find why and that reader doesn't wanna feel overshadowed by them and just want attention good or bad..
Platonic (obviously) a bit of angst and fluff.
Hello! I'm gonna clear up some left over requests in my inbox, hope this didn't take too long! Good ol' gold and silver demons. I love those little dweebs (affectionate).
Rusted Metal | Jin and Yin x platonic!sibling! reader
You loved your brothers.
If anyone were to ask you that you would immediately say 'yes'. Why wouldn't you? They're the most clever trickster demons there are in the city. They're the gold and silver demons, the greatest enemies of the Monkie Kid! Of course you look up to them.
They were the best siblings you could ever ask for. They shine like glimmering statues, standing tall in the massive city that is Megapolis. A bit goofy, yes, but that was part of their charm.
They did everything they could to take care of you when you were little. They declared that they would be the best older brothers to you, and they kept by that promise for years. You would give the world to them for all they’ve done for you.
So yeah. You loved your bros.
But sometimes, being their sibling feels... Underachieving.
They're silver and gold. The two most valuable metals in the world. What does that make you? Compared to your brother's statues that basically shine in the sunlight, you feel like you're merely a tiny speck of dirt behind them, overwhelmed by the shadow the statues cast onto you.
Gold and Silver. Silver and Gold. They're the dynamic duo.
And you're always left out.
Maybe you're not even a metal at all. Maybe you're just rust. That would explain the biting and acidic feeling you get whenever you see your brothers carry out one of their plans while you're left awkwardly standing to the side, forgotten.
It would make sense. Your entire life, you’ve been raised and cared for by Jin and Yin. And what do you do in return? Absolutely nothing. For all you know, you’ll end up corroding them, tarnishing their metal glow and replacing it with a rusted over sheen.
Those intrusive thoughts swirl in your brain, slowly seeping into every part of your body. You hated feeling like this. You hated feeling so useless.
You needed a way to release all these pent up emotions, before it tears you apart from the inside.
And what better way to do that than messing with some mortals?
Don't get this wrong, you would never hurt a mortal. Not physically, anyway.
But it was always fun to psyche them out. The gradual doubt in their faces as you spewed out nothing but lies makes you feel a gram of satisfaction, pointedly ignoring your own feelings about your brothers. A part of you acknowledges that this isn’t the healthiest way to deal with your problems, but you shove that thought aside.
Heading back to your hideout, you catch whispers of gossip about you from the streets. A wave of pride washes over you before slowly being converted into shame. Why would you ever feel pride about this?
But that thought was quickly stomped out as you headed back to your family’s hideout, carefully opening the doors and tip-toeing inside. Your brothers never knew about your little excursions in the night to mess with mortal’s heads, and you don’t plan on letting them know anytime soon.
But it seems like luck wasn’t on your side today, as Jin pops out from another room and says “Oi, there you are Y/n! Where’ve you gone off to? We haven’t seen you all mornin’!”
You stiffen before casually straightening up and rubbing the back of your neck in a sheepish manner.
“Yeah, sorry about that Jin. I was trying to explore the city to get some junk for your schemes, but I guess I lost track of time.”
Jin looks down at your empty hands and back at you. You feel a brief sense of dread and guilt as Jin gives you a scrutinizing look, before shrugging and calling for his twin.
“Alright! Ey, Yin! Y/n’s back!”
“Really?” Yin peeks his head from out of the room. He strolls out, hands on his hips and scolds you like a mother. “And where’ve you been, ey? Ya gave us a right scare when we saw you were gone!”
You playfully raise your hands in surrender as Jin explains to his twin where you went. Yin only huffs and shakes his head, talking about how you could’ve been kidnapped if you continued on doing this.
Your smile becomes a bit strained as they bicker amongst each other. If only they knew what you were really up to when you go out... They won’t be worried about you getting kidnapped, that’s for sure. But disappointment and disgust was a definite reaction if they were to ever hear about what you do to mortals in your free time.
“Urgh, you’re impossible!” Yin throws his hands in the air dramatically. Jin rolls his eyes, and you chuckle at their animatedness.
“Anyway!” Jin gives you a big grin. “We’re workin’ on another scheme we’re plannin’ to pull next week! Wanna help us out?”
Your eyes widen in surprise. “You... want me to help you guys?”
“O’ course!” Yin wraps a shoulder around his brother, copying his smile. “You’re our sibling, your infoot helps improve our little pranks!”
Jin frowns, “Uh... Mate, I think it’s ‘input’.”
“Input? What’s input-”
“No, the word you just said- It’s input, not infoot-”
“Input... Really? I thought-”
They argue once again in whispers. Their antics bring a smile to your face, joy bubbling in your gut when you processed what they asked of you.
“Yeah!” You say, interrupting their banter. “Yeah, I’d love to help you guys!”
They go back to their smiling faces, and gesture you to come inside the room. You jog inside, a big grin on your face, not noticing the twins both giving each other a serious glance behind your back and shutting the door behind them.
--------------
Okay, so this was getting awkward.
The entire time you’ve been ‘planning out a new scheme’, your brothers have been constantly sending you furtive glances when they thought you weren’t looking. It was getting a bit irritating, but you guess that they’re just doing it out of good will. You had no idea why they keep glancing at you, as if desperately wanting to say something but can’t, or are just too afraid to, but you trust them that they’ll tell you sooner or later.
A few minutes go by though... And you’re starting to get worried. The joy that once filled your body was now replaced with annoyance and nervousness that twisted your gut. Every time your brothers glance at you, you feel a pit forming in your stomach, only worsening when they look away and continue talking with clear hesitance.
They obviously had something to say to you. That was why they brought you here in the first place.
A part of you feels that burning, acidic feeling again when you realise they didn’t really wanted to let you help them out with a scheme.
Why would they anyways? It’s not like you’d contribute anything useful.
You clench your fists, tired of thinking and feeling this way. The annoyance that was slowly building up the longer you’ve been in the room has reached its breaking point, its cracks slowly crawling up your body, threatening to snap.
Another glance makes you slam your fists against the table, making your brothers jolt.
“Alright, what’s going on? You guys got something to say?”
Jin and Yin tense and send each other a worried look. Your eyebrow twitches, and a scowl etches itself onto your lips.
“Well? Spit it out.”
Despite your angry face, anxiety clenches your gut. From the look of their faces, whatever they gotta say must be serious. That’s not usually a word you’d describe your brothers, but seeing them so stone faced and filled with worry makes your heart beat faster in fear.
They aren’t gonna talk about... that. Right? They can’t possibly know.
Yin coughs in his fist, making you direct your anger to him
“Well... Ya see, Y/n we-” he rubs his neck. “When you went missin’, we tried lookin for you. Ya know, since we’re your big brothers and all and we gotta take care of ya! And when we went out we... Well, we heard some- some not so nice things about ya from the mortals.”
Your heart jumps in your throat, an icy chill seizing your body.
Jin continues, “And we know it can’t be true, cuz you’re our siblin’! But... With how weird you’ve been acting lately...”
Your knuckles turn white from how hard you’re gripping the table. Your nerves are on fire, your breaths shallow.
Your brothers, seeing your reaction, carefully leans over the table takes each of your hands in their own. They both give your hands a loving squeeze, a reassuring look in their eyes.
“Hey, it’s alright. We ain’t mad.” Jin says.
Yin nods, “Yeah. We’re just worried, is all. We’re your bros, and we wanna know if what the mortals are sayin’ is true. We won’t get mad at ya if it is, okay?”
Their voices lower down into a comforting tone you vividly remember from your childhood. They used it all the time whenever you were scared, or had nightmares and ended up racing to their bedrooms and hiding in their sheets. It was so much simpler back then, when the only things you had to fear were the darkness and being caught by authorities.
But now, you had bigger fears. And every single one of them were coming true.
The only difference is, you can’t hide in your brothers room anymore. You can’t count on them for support or comfort.
Because they’re a part of your fears.
How are you supposed to tell them if they’re the ones you’re scared of?
“I-...” Your throat tightens, and you can barely get the words out.
“Hey hey, it’s okay. We’re here, it’s alright.”
They get up from their seats and pull you into a hug. They rub circles on your back, whispering words of comfort and promises.
You feel horrible. Your brothers are so good to you and yet... Yet you’re so ungrateful. You just wanted to be seen and known, just like them. But with all the things you’ve done to the mortals, you’re sure that they won’t forgive you.
“I...” Your voice wobbles, and your face twists as you try not to cry. Hopelessness weighs down on you, making your figure tremble in the arms of Jin and Yin.
“It’s alright, sibs.” They whisper. “It’s okay. Let it out, we’re here for ya. Just tell us what happened, we won’t judge ya at all...”
That makes you break. A choked sob leaves your lips as your bury your face in your hands. Your brothers squeeze you in their embrace as they listen to you blurt out what you’ve been doing and why.
“I’m sorry,” You sniffle, tears rolling down your cheeks. “I just... didn’t wanna feel so useless compared to you guys. You- you took care of me my entire life and- and I do nothing in return. I thought that maybe... If I messed with some mortals, I could’ve gotten some attention that way. That was stupid, I don’t know why I did that. I just-”
You bite your lip, trying desperately not to sob again. Jin wipes away your tears, and Yin hands you some water and tissues that were kept on the table. Their faces transitioned from worry, to shock, to sadness as they listened to your entire confession. Both of them kept silent, letting you spill out your feelings in a fit of sadness, staying by your side the entire time.
When you finished blowing your nose and taking some sips of water, your brothers release you from their hug to give you some space. You brace yourself for the inevitable disappointment, because as much as they said they won’t get mad, what you’ve done was something that was deserving of some sort of punishment.
“Y/n...” Jin starts, and you feel your heart sinking. Jin sees your hunched figure and places a hand on your shoulder. “Hey, it’s alright! Like we said, we ain’t mad.”
“But aren’t you disappointed?” You whisper, loud enough that they could hear you. “I did all that, just because I didn’t have any attention. It’s stupid-”
“Hey, no it ain’t!” Yin cuts in. “Ya felt left out and abandoned, that’s perfectly find an’ valid. We don’t blame ya for trying to cope with how ya feel.”
“It’s just that, well... it’s not the healthiest coping mechanism, innit?”
You nod slowly.
“And! As your bros, it’s our responsibility to take care o’ ya and take note of how ya feel! And, we didn’t-... really did a good job of that, did we?”
Jin and Yin look at each other with regret in their eyes. Their voices quiet down to a whisper, as if they didn’t want anyone else but you to hear.
“We’re... We’re sorry for not noticing how ya felt. We know it ain’t our fault exactly, but- well... We shoulda seen how you were acting and asked you sooner. We’re your bros, it’s our job.”
Your eyes turn downcast, ashamed and not wanting to meet their eyes. “You don’t have to apologize. It’s my fault for not telling you guys anything and taking it out on the mortals.”
There’s a brief pause, where you all stay silent. Only the trees swaying in the wind and the chirping of birds fill the air, as you stay in place in your brothers arms.
It was oddly comforting, in a way. It was like you were a child again. You’d give anything to go back to those times.
But... If you think about it, nothing really changed. You’re still young, you’re still scared, and despite your mistakes your brothers still love you wholeheartedly.
You’ve all grown and matured over the years, yes. But at the same time, nothing has changed. They’re still the lovable brothers you always knew, and you’re still their little sibling they love with all their being.
Yin breaks the silence.
“How about we all just say sorry? That’s easier to do, I think.”
Jin nods with a whisper, “Tha’s a good idea.”
He then looks at you, still caged in their hug. “I’m sorry, Y/n.”
Yin gives you a light squeeze. “I’m sorry too.”
You open your mouth, but the words stay clogged in your throat. You gulp, hoping to at least say something, before croaking out a soft:
“I’m sorry.”
Yin gives you a soft smile, “See? Everything’s better now.”
Jin agrees, before saying something hesitantly. “We promise we won’t make ya feel that way again, Y/n. Kay? And if we ever do, tell us.”
You nod, an immense weight being lifted off your shoulders. “I will.”
A sigh escapes your lips, tiredness replacing your anxiety. You slump and snuggle into their embrace. “You’re the best bros ever.”
You hear them both chuckle, “We know.”
--------------------------------
Just saying this now, but if Macaque ever met Y/n they would’ve TOTALLY bonded. Mac would’ve taken one look at Y/n’s angsty aura and be like “damn they just like me fr!!”
Also!! Sorry this took so long to get out!! I had some school things I had to submit last minute + the fact that this isn’t formatted like a brainrot/headcannon like usual! Still hope you like it tho :]]

Shadowpeach + Calabash = Disaster
Y’all really for this one I don’t think y’all ready
K so normally I don’t ship things in the JTTW setting because I treat it as a separate thing from LMK- HOWEVER
.
Lmk AU where Macaque finds himself mysteriously back when Wu Kong was making his Journey to the West.
But this time when he goes to confront Wu Kong about Tripitakas abuse they deal with it in a MUCH more civil manner.
Although Macaque wants to rip his masters throat out, the Monkey King is trying convince him that Tang San Zang hasn’t done anything wrong, right? So the solution is simple
“六耳 listen- how about you come WITH us?”
“What?”
“You don’t trust my master here, yes? BUT you also cannot kill him, therefore if you want to ensure my saftey come WITH us and you’ll be able to observe our journey,”
“…”
“Cmon you tell me the great 六耳猕猴 is scared to accompany his beloved friend on a journey?”
“Of course not. I will accompany you all as well,”
“Awesome B)”
.
Macaque slowly grows to view Tripitaka in the same way Mei and Pigsy view Monkey King- because of MK (or in this case Sun Wu Kong) they tolerate his mentor (or in this case Wu Kong’s master)
Everything goes all fine and dandy
Obviously Macaque and Sun Wu Kong get along the greatest, they even end up having a few fruity moments per say.
Macaque and Zhu Ba Jie don’t hate each other but they’re definitely not friends. More like ‘only I get to bug Wu Kong to get a rise out of him. It was pretty funny when Ba Jie actually caught on that Macque maybe sorta likes Wu Kong as in he wants him to be his partner and WOO he had a field day with that.
Sha Wu Jing seemed to be the only one to be concerned for Macaque because of some more...weird occurrences he’s seen. For example, there were moments where Macaque would say clearly while right next to a sleeping Wu Kong that he misses him so much, and that he’s sorry.
For what? Wu Kong’s right there, why would the shadow demon miss him?
So clearly Wu Jing is the one in the future to ask if Macaque is alright and if there’s something going on he would tell the rest of the group. Throughout the whole trip he was the one that made the back of Macaque’s brain yell at him that doing this was not healthy and he was just running away from his problems.
-
When Macaque meets 金 and 银, the world fades around him and he wakes up in the center of the demon brothers dojo.
He was in the calabash.
Immediately his first instinct is to beat the shit out of them and he almost does-
“WAIT- wait wait, 老侯 we have an explanation-“
“What could you POSSIBLY have-“
“You wanted us to do this remember? When you’re inside the calabash ya brain does a little bit of a fuck up and forgets recent events,” says Yin
“Yeah, you’d think we’d put you in there and NOT fear for our lives? Ya see we came in INSURANCE”
“Bullshit. Give me a better reason why I shouldn’t kill you where you stand,”
“MATE- Here have a look for ya self “
Yin tosses him a peice of paper with a dark purple signature on the bottom. It seemed the paper behind the ink was practically whitening just to highlight the words and whisps of shadow curled off the characters 六耳猕猴
Jim continues nodding his head “told us you felt like you were dying. Had to see em right away…”
His expression changed to a sympathetic sadness and he leans his weight on Yin who supports him instantly.
“You need to fix things with him,”
“Shut up”
“My bro’s got a point Boss. Everyone knows the tale of how you two fell out, no one’s how badly it wounded the both of yous. You NEED him back,”
“Shut up SHUT UP- I KNOW”
“Then go out there and fucking fix your problem mate,”
“Easier said then done,” and then Macaque disappears through the ground.
“Gods almighty like father like son, we thought MK and Red Son were bad look at these two idiots”
“Yeah man, it’s not even like one of them messed up, Sun Wu Kong needs to get his shite together,” Jin wheezes
“Well said brother, well said”
