YEAAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT SICK TWICE IN A MONTH, crazy time that was. GAHHHH, I'm fairly sure it wouldn't take a year to finish it, but you never know, right? 🥹
Thank you for your good luck wishes <3 I will try my best <3333
Oh mmy god, I'm so happy to hear I was able to re-inspire you back to your fic. :,,, D
I have a few more questions for your AU if you don't mind. It's just something that I've realised when planning the storyboard and hoping you'd answer.
But it's also totally fine if you're not able to answer them! They're just thoughts in my head as I plan for my storyboard. :3
🍑 I have no idea how the story would progress in here since Wukong adopts MK, so I have been pondering on how would he meet up with the gang. How would he meet Pigsy, Tang, Sandy, and Mei? Would he still go on to be the Monkie Kid?
Mei, I've already made a headcanon of them meeting up while he's growing up, the others... no ideas yet.
🍑 In canon, I presume he is enamoured by Sun Wukong thanks to Tang's stories. MK in S4 has mentioned he read JTTW, but only where Wukong appears in the story. Which, mood. XDDD And I'm pretty sure MK reading JTTW could be due to Tang's influence anyway, lmaooooo.
I wonder if he would still be enamoured by Wukong when growing up to be his son. I think yes, but in the sense of "Oh my god, dad is so cool! I wanna be just like him when I grow up!" and maybe one day he's wandering around or something, stumbled on the place where he found Wukong's staff sealing DBK with PIF and Red Son trying (failing at first but ultimately succeeding thanks to ✨technology✨) to lift the staff and boom LMK could happen again xDDD
Oh shid I have so much ideas now on the possible ways MK could meet up with the gang when growing up. The brainworms are real.
🍑 And then there's a question of whether MK will become immortal or not as the story progresses. Based on this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/MonkieKid/s/dnF5Xqf1wB it says that in JTTW, Wukong likely has a natural long life ahead of him before becoming an immortal due to being born as a stone monkey. So with that in mind, with MK's origins being the same as Wukong's rock (or something), it's probably safe to say he is the same species. Albeit, somehow inheriting all of Wukong's abilities that he earned by studying with Subodhi and due to the Furnace.
I could probably do well to read JTTW and brush up on the events that happened in LMK for more ideas. But, hm. A thought for later. Research is daunting. So, later, later. Fun time headcanons for now.
PS : Not me realising that the majority of LMK's episodes all start with MK at Pigsy's. If canon still happens in this AU, it would need a massive overhaul if they were to happen while he's staying with Wukong. Same principle as before, I'll get there when I get there. Imma just have fun with what we have in the present, baby MK. 💖
