Summer is coming ☀️
I'm going to the Hands Like Houses show soon and had an idea to try to illustrate one of their songs. Paradise is probably my top favourite one from them, and I find myself singing it to myself (pretending that the second part of the chorus doesn't exist) when I'm feeling stressed.
The main idea was to draw Hinata pretending that everything is fine when everything is not fine. One of the times I sang this song to calm myself down was during a paddling experience in November (which did not go so well), so Hinata is doing some paddling too now!
[Link to the song on YouTube] (the video is weird, but I love the song)
Also don't worry, he's fine ⬇️
At the beach, Kyojuro waits very patiently for you to cover him in sunscreen and tries very very hard to pretend the blood rushing to his cock has nothing to do with how your hands slide over his pectorals and massage down his abs.
If this isn't the most HC Bakuto and Kuroo nonsense I've ever seen 😂😂
one of my tiktok followers pfp looked like a picture of zoro and garfield! it wasn't but the idea took over my mind and body like a dang virus
Brazil Hinata Shoyo and that shadow trend☀️
最遊記 9巻 / Saiyuki, vol.9.
Back on my bullshit, so it's Saiyuki time! I haven't drawn these guys in yearsssss. Still deciding how I want to finish these, so the gold areas are sort of ... empty.
Truly one of the best things about Sun Wukong as a character is that he’s so versatile and lends himself to interpretation so much that people have gone hog wild on which parts of his personality and story they want to focus on so you have every iteration from a mischievous baby
to a tacky grandpa
Let’s start adding other wukongs to this.
Might i add edgy boy
Haha nice and yes let’s hopefully get this one thousand and one Wukongs post rolling! In addition to the 2009 baby Wukong, 2021 grandpa Wukong, and upcoming edgy boy “I really heart eyeshadow” Wukong I’d also like to give a shout out to:
2015 angsty “crap I’m a dad now” Wukong
1996 pretty boy Wukong
2021 little lego man Wukong
and one of the oldest images of og classic Wukong, who is of course screaming his little immortal monkey heart out.
That reminds of
Funny yet responsible Wukong
pokemon wukong
teen wukong
The Wukong that was a part of pretty much every Chinese(-American) kid’s childhood. (He was in mine, anyway). From the 1999 Journey to the West animated series.
Another animted one, from the 1961 movie 大闹天宫
Reblogging for this last addition particularly because it really was a gross oversight on my part to have not included the 1999 Wukong or, one of my top favorites for lovingly stylized animation and sheer audacious monkey energy, 1961′s “I caused havoc in heaven and got away with it” Wukong
Yesssss I was hoping to see that somebody added my boi 1999 Sun Wukong!! He was my childhood hero and I will always love that show (and its absolute banger of an opening theme!).
https://youtu.be/8CtY3x0J83o
I’m also glad to see 1961-1964’s Sun Wukong added to the list. I’ve always enjoyed him as a classic icon, but I’ve definitely grown an even bigger soft spot for him since I focused on him in my undergraduate thesis (along with Nezha 1979 and Princess Iron Fan).
Speaking of Princess Iron Fan though, might I include the Sun Wukong from her film?
He’s very 1920s American rubberhose animation-inspired!
The biography film of Osamu Tezuka, godfather of anime and creator of Astro Boy, even paid homage to him since he (and Sun Wukong in general) served as a big inspiration for him.
https://youtu.be/36OfEZ3e4xY
Also gonna add Sun Wukong from Lotus Lantern 1999!
On this post’s specific topic though, I totally agree! It’s amazing how many interpretations of him can coexist.
I talked a bit about it in my thesis because it really is fascinating just how many iterations of Sun Wukong and now other mythical characters from China there are. They’re constantly just being reimagined, and it’s really cool! Like, people have called Sun Wukong China’s Mickey Mouse, and yet the beauty of it is that he’s an iconic character anyone can create with and change and yet still be recognizable. 🥰
Bonus:
This Bilibili user who does a lot of JttW animations/animatics and has drawn multiple iterations of the Monkey Kings interacting in their videos. They also have this cool artistic JttW video, although tw: for a bit of blood! 👀
Reblogging for the last links provided by @ kukuandkookie . Thank you for all of that info and cool videos! And yes! It is indeed really amazing how many transformations Sun Wukong has gone through in the human imagination while still being undeniably the monkey king.
Lol a very small unknown one in the music scene Monkey Bee from the band Gorillaz. Music very alternative and indie
Heavenly peach banquet a fav track
Here to add Koei-Tecmo’s Warriors Orochi 3 Wukong too
Thank you to @xeraeus and @heretic-saint-taliesin for your contributions to this Monkey King gallery!
Also kicking myself because I just realized I COMPLETELY forgot to add Peking opera Sun Wukong, aka some of the coolest (and fanciest!) versions of the monkey king out there:
The New Wukong Game, Not much that I know bout him But he seems like a tired Warrior type
Oh and this one from a Webtoon called Omniscient Reader, he doesn’t do much other than being passively describe in the narratives, but he’s lowkey loves drama, he got a cool nickname too, but kinda sad
“Prisoner of the Golden Headband”
Technically Dragonball was based off of Journey to the West so we get Anime Reinterpretation Son Wukong:
Might I offer Tactical RPG Sun Wukong?
Meanwhile I’ll offer up two. Firstly, the Disney-esque version known to Western viewers as “Alakazam The Great”…
…and the “Not Your Daddy’s Monkey King!” version who starred in 2000′s “Monkey Magic”
It’s so cool seeing all these different interpretations of this character out there! I’m gonna throw my hat into the ring with the Final Fantasy XIV Sun Wukong, “Qitian Dasheng”
Who also comes in pocket-sized form
I refuse to let Yall Sleep on this one
From the comic Fei Ren Zai, I absolutely love this comic, though I haven’t read up until Wukong’s introduction
SCREAM always a delight to see this (hopefully some day!) One Hundred Sun Wukongs post make another round! Many thanks to @madammonkie, @ifra-strawberii, @gojira007, @starlitskvader, and @lovelyladylavie for their contributions!
And to add on some Sun Wukongs brought up by other rebloggers, thank you to @game-boy-pocket for bringing up “Nintendo’s ‘Funny parody’ version of Saiyuki, Yuyuki, which will probably never see an English translation due to the vertical text”:
@roddaprime for submitting League of Legends Sun Wukong in his “many flavors”:
Original:
Volcanic
General Wukong
Jade Dragon
Underworld
Radiant
Lancer Stratus
and Battle Academia
And finally @rootbeergoddess for submitting “mobile app game Sun Wukong”!
And finally finally, to bring some attention to upcoming animated versions of the Monkey King, we can look forward to a stoic head-bonking Sun Wukong in the upcoming film “The Four Monkeys: The Return of Sun Wukong” which will presumably focus on the Monkey King in his role as one of the four World Wreaking Monkeys (alongside the Red-Bottomed Horse Ape, the Bare-Armed Gibbon, and the Six-Eared Macaque):
We’ve also got what looks like an angst-filled upcoming film in “The Monkey King: The Demon Monkey” where apparently Sun Wukong gets uhhhhh fuggin’ possessed:
And last but certainly not least there’s the animation “Great Sage Equaling Heaven: True or False Sun Wukong,” which looks like it focuses on the conflict between Sun Wukong and his (in this film) Huaguoshan brother the Six Eared Macaque as a way to explore the many different facets of the Monkey King, his struggle with having to choose between them, and the consequences thereof:
Thank you again to everyone who contributed to this post, and here’s looking forward to seeing it grow as more Monkey Kings are revealed!
Adding on Jet Li’s Sun Wukong from the movie Forbidden Kingdom (which as a Westerner was somehow my introduction to the character)
And if we’re including DBZ Son Goku, obligatory Saiyuki Son Goku, my boy
digimon wukong
HOW MANY HAKKAIS CAN I JAM IN ONE CHARACTER SHEET and the answer is eight apparently. Even before I remembered his assigned number 😂
Though technically one Tenpou and one Youkai Paralysis Demon Gonou but SEMANTICS SHHH
Random personal artist things to note:
BIG NERD ENERGY
Definitely the guy dealing with the map
He is keeping that long life line Goku drew on his palm AGES ago, it’s definitely their little thing (Goku’s delighted that he doesn’t find it ‘stupid’ and thinks it’s a brilliant little Fuck You to fate) and it gets redrawn whenever it starts fading.
I love the idea of little character mementoes so he’s got a wristwatch from Gojyo (not a callback but an evolution of the pocket watch associated with Kanan) a leather cuff from Goku (who didn’t want to be one-upped by EroKappa NOW WE MATCH!!!) and a small bracelet of prayer beads from Sanzo (who begrudgingly also doesn’t want to be left out but don’t think too deep about it, it’s just whatever). Note: Prayer beads not for religious purposes but it makes for a great fidget-type thing when Hakkai feels his temper starting to rise and he just fiddles with it and starts counting the beads until it fades. That all three are around his wrists/guarding his hands are intentional bc when he goes into that mood where he’s trying to scrub out blood from his hands no one else can see, they keep him grounded and remind him that his hands are worth more than the sins/atrocities they once committed. (Also that they would resemble shackles is also intentional—Sanzo told him a long time ago that he was free to go off and pursue revenge, that he doesn’t have to stay, but he made the choice to stay/‘shackle’ himself to them, and these are shackles/anchors he doesn’t regret/chose for himself)
TLDR: Oni has been deeply besotted with Gentleman Merc from day one, but grasping the breadth of his characterisation and an adult, where this is a man who smiles in the face of the fact that he WILL go to hell one day and has made his peace with it, and who smiles as a once-killer-turned-healer who willingly gives way pieces of himself everytime he heals people with hands that were once stained with the blood of over a thousand people is truly one of the most character of all time, because what matters isn’t if people are good or bad; What matters is trying to be better than they were yesterday, and whenever this second chance at life will take him, he’ll walk it for however long it goes with the people who saw the weight of his sins and saw his worth buried beneath them regardless.
He is a lot (more sketches!!)

It didn't fit him 😔 (bonus points for a good pun tho)
Wrapped in Him: How the Hashira Men React to You Wearing Their Clothes
Note: It felt wrong to use Giyuu's haori so I improvised. Genre: Intimate Slice-of-Life; Soft Romance; Comfort
The shoji was half-open, the last light of day spilling across the tatami in long amber streaks. You stood there hidden from Giyuu while he was getting ready for patrol. You tied his uwa-obi clumsily around your waist, the white fabric folding and slipping through your fingers. You slid the sheathed nichirin sword through the sash the way you'd seen him do countless times, but the weight dragged at your hips, far heavier than you expected. When you drew the blade halfway free, your breath caught- the steel shimmered in the low light, insanely sharp.
"You're holding it wrong."
The quiet voice startled you. You turned sharply, almost dropping the weapon.
Giyuu stood in the doorway, blue eyes steady, unreadable. Heat rushed to your cheeks. "I- I just wanted to see..."
He crossed the floor with that quiet precision of his. "You'll cut yourself if you draw it like that," he said factually, stepping close, turning you back to the opened door.

✧. ┊ やほ~( ≧∀≦)ノ. How are you doing dearest reader?, I haven't post something about Tighnari for so long, it was his turn this time, this one doesn't includes a drabble unfortunately but it's quite a long one. I hope you like it.
Enjoy! ✦

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹
❀ He found out it was you a bit too early... You were a new friend he made because your father visited the village he was from, doing some research and bringing you along to spend the spring there.
❀ Poor guy had his first heat sometime between 16 and 17 and ran off into the forest. You spent the whole night searching for him with his parents. When you finally found him, he just pulled you into his arms, wrapping them around you automatically, overwhelmed... But when your scent filled his lungs, his whole body suddenly relaxed. His ears pinned back, and his heavy breathing finally slowed...
❀ "Shut..." Tighnari murmured, hiding his face in the crook of your neck. "I wasn’t going to say anything..." You whispered back, hugging him without quite understanding what was happening.
❀ When his parents found you two? Under a tree, him holding you like you were his savior, his tail lazily swaying as if he’d finally found the cure to all his troubles, he calmed down... His mom knew, of course she did.
❀ But he never told you, even after going to the Akademiya together. For Tighnari, for his kind, finding a mate was a once-in-a-lifetime thing — no turning back.
❀ You were slowly learning how things worked for him... especially during one of your visits to Grandharva Ville, when he let you borrow one of his books about hybrid species. You found the one about him a bit too detailed... purposely, of course.
❀ And when you finally chose him back? Tighnari pretended it wasn’t a big deal, but you saw how his fluffy, pretty tail wagged excitedly, and his big, characteristic ears curved slightly toward you.
❀ Oh yes, bonding means he’d need to scent and physically mark you... he might leave a tiny mark on your neck. The scent part... well...
❀ Tighnari is a man with control. He would never do anything to make you uncomfortable or without your permission. But the moment you’re his, he can’t help hugging you tightly, then kissing you... then worshipping you with his gaze until, awkwardly and shyly, he might ask, “Is it bad... if you stay the night...?”
❀ Long story short, you stayed. He loved every second — from teasing to kisses, from kisses to slow touches, until finally… clothes ended up on the floor next to the bed.
❀ He may... or may not, knot... Just saying.
