hi! lego monkey kid is problematic because it picks and chooses what to take from the original novel, kills off most of the pilgrims to replace with new characters, and greatly mischaracterized the sun wukong to the point of the fandom shipping him with a character that only appeared in two chapters before being killed off, and promotes illiteracy bc most of the fandom only knows the characters from lmk and havent read the novel, its also disrespectful to religion because it cuts out all the buddhism, so you really shouldnt promote it or make silly aus. thank you!! ^-^ /nm/info

Respectfully it’s a goofy ass kids show that’s likely inspired people to read JTTW and learn more about Chinese history/culture, Buddhism, and Taoism. I do think anon if you have such a serious gripe with my blog that you should just Block me and the LMK tags on tumblr if it’s that big of a deal. It’s your job to curate your tumblr experience not mine.

[monkeyclouds]

There are millions and millions and MILLIONS of shows just like LMK based off of JTTW. It's an ancient story, and it's been adapted to every single type of media EVER. TV series, films, cartoons, graphic novels, etc. There's an anime of Wukong and Macaque as women, even though thats not accurate to the novel at all either. They have been brothers, enemies, strangers; Like, I am not even kidding EVERYTHING has been done with these two! It's about damn time they are lovers. The Dragon Ball is ALSO A VERSION OF JTTW. Son Goku IS LITTERALLY SUN WUKONG. You gonna say the same about Dragon Ball? ARE YA??

Like, there is nothing on Earth that could measure the size of this ignorance.

Not to mention that stories being adapted and retold are just the natural progression of stories. It's how they last. In fact, the story you know was made in the 16th century, the Ming Dynasty version of Sun Wukong. His story has been told far longer than that.

One of the earliest recorded Monkey Pilgrim (Because he wasn't named Sun Wukong originally; he didn't have his staff, he didn't have the headband, he didn't even HAVE THE CRIMES), was relatively a sweet heart and based off of a real life person that helped this monk travel across China and India.

Yuan Dynsasty Sun Wukong is when he gets the headband, staff, his name, and the many many many crimes (More than our Ming Dynasty version of Sun Wukong.).

And if you got back far enough, his story splits into multiple stories. The story of a monkey stealing peaches is a seperate story on it's own that was added during the Song Dynasty version of the novel. The stories of monkeys stealing women and doing other horrible horrible things was added during the Yuan dynasty, and those stories also started out as their own thing. There are also several seperate stories of monkeys being sealed under mountains.

So is the Ming Dynasty JTTW "problematic" as well because it's not like it's old versions? Is Yuan Dynasty "problematic" because it's not like the Song Dynasty version??? Is the Song Dynasty version "problematic" because it doesn't perfectly encapsulate all the stories it took from?

All stories are built from pieces of everything that came before, remixed and made into something new as time goes on. That doesn't make them any lesser, thats just the life of a story. Thats how it continues on - someone breathes new life into it.

Stories don't exist in a vaccum.

[artfucksmylife]

Damn, that's certainly the same person that's also been in my inbox(they really like "^-^"). Your response is very beautiful, however I do think we should not give them all this attention.

We can't convince someone who is going out of their way to send asks like this to artists and fans, that there is beauty in every interpretation of JTTW. I'm also assuming this person is pretty young, since they haven't learned the art of not giving a fuck and certainly haven't watched LMK. Though I will give them props for calling my art character assassination yaoi, that was hilarious(they sent me a second ask).

Don't take their open hostility seriously, since they most likely are not reading your serious thought out response. Their ask wasn't thought out either and just hostile. They're waiting for people to get angry, because they are angry and looking to pick a fight. If you get an ask, please just ignore them.

I was a kid who did stuff like this once and the thing that always hurt worst was being ignored. I certainly didn't think properly about serious responses and just got mad at people making fun of me. They have to change from within which will take a while.

And well, if they do read the more lengthy thought out responses, they should respond openly and not hide behind anonymity. If you pick a fight, pick it properly and not like a coward.

"Take your love, take your life, Take my hand, take tonight"

Take Tonight - The Family Crest

Full image under the cut

I felt it didn't convey what I wanted buuut idk maybe you want to look at the full thing. I did the composition in a frenzy of listening to Take Tonight on repeat. I haven't completed a full on painting like this in a hot while (Like, we're talking YEARS). It's a miracle I've improved as much as I did lmao. I posted part of the sketch and some progress months ago because I kept putting off painting Wukong. Mac went by in a breeze but I fought tooth and nail with Wukong.

I also can't get the fucking song to upload.

Just finished this!

This is one of my DnD character, Capi, a Aarakocra rouge. They got a adopted(?) as an egg by a merchant ship. They became part of the crew and hold watch form either the crowsnest or scouted by flying around, until one day a odd magic fog appears. Unable to warn them in time the ship capsized and Capi and three other stranded on an island.

FunFact: I decided the name at the table and it is the scientific name of magpie(Pica pica) but with reversed syllables

Here also a alt version without the movement line

[atlaslovesedm]

this is what i do every time you say something nice about my art

[artfucksmylife]

Been practicing some art nouveau. Dunno if I'll color this — I mean it is on my expensive paper

[kasspergh]

i know this is probably super out of character, but it came to me in a dream and i had to draw it. also i find it rlly funny that mk has abandonment issues because i hate him (affectionate)
