Old warmup i never posted! It was along the lines of something something stealing old clothes of your mentors because yaoguai forms are weird and I BET Swk doesn't throw out his hasn't-been-worn-in-1,000-year-old clothes -- mixed with Qxt going feral out on huaguoshan bc that's just a right of passage for monkeys in the Sūn family

[spotsupstuff]

they're a bit strange n mayhaps complicated- so i thought a little tadaaa on how FT!Sun Wukong and FT!Sun Wukong 2: goth boogaloo tick might perchance be appreciated or at least fun to do

[forgettin-my-legos]

v much in love with the idea that lxj and qxt just like, dual trecked up to the jade emperor’s palace together- lxj with a respectable ancestral guide, and qxt in a wholeass double decker dirtbike. Theyre just, hanging out together until erlang shen comes flying in to deck sun dasheng and you know what, feels on-brand

[forgettin-my-legos]

back on my sūn yéyé agenda let him be a gramp PLEASE

[forgettin-my-legos]

my daily sketch turned into a whole THING so i thought i'd share it . I guess my mind kind of wanted to explore the aftermath or at least the idea of swk rushing to go back to an old 'status quo'. I mean - the seal on the map was enough to force sun dasheng to have to recollect energy in order to help out the crew. Baigujing absolUTELY wreaked more damage than that, but it isn't do or die anymore, so swk probably just...doesn't address it? Why would he? The idea of being weak is probably a REALLY sore topic atm. And so he thinks that now that they have time to breathe again, it'll just fade with time like all scars but uhhh nah, might be a bit worse with her mark scorched into him. Mix that with a probably unfathomable amount of guilt in an already depressed and isolated immortal and uhhh not the healthiest combo for coping unfortunately. Sure makes me wonder where the "Come on- I can take it!" sacrifical mentality qxt picked up came from.

My WIP speculation comic if I'll have time to post it b4 the specials air!

Scene: 01, 02, 03 (soon)

My main focus was wanting to play around with HOW qitian dasheng is gonna hit a point where he would willing allow WBS to possess him. My theory honestly is that he doesn't. He thinks this will take him out, that he's given enough to his successor to finish the fight. He DOESN'T know she has the lantern from Liuer Mihou and that's how it's going to take a drastic shift before he can stop it.

[spotsupstuff]

The white bone spirit falls, so does her possession.

So does the king, on his knees in front of his successor. Shaking like a leaf, gasping for air as if he hadn't breathed the entire time the demon held him in her grasp. He curls up into a ball, hands holding tight onto his hair and tail finding grip around his own leg.

Everybody had been injured during the terrible final fight. To varying degrees, of course, but they had been.

And Qi Xiaotian?

And Qi Xiaotian... has been injured worse before. Actually, he might be one of the luckiest ones. All he's gotten treated by had been a few punches. His nose is bleeding but hardly is it broken. He knows for sure that mister Tang is sporting at least a broken arm and Red Son along with Long Xiaojiao have been almost completely rid of their flames in their efforts of melting the white bone spirit away, out of life for good.

Qi Xiaotian is fine. Definitely better than his trembling shifu. And yet...

"I'm sorry-," the ancient king gasps so desperately it breaks the human's heart. "I'm so sorry, I've hurt you, I'm sorry-"

Xiaotian takes the pause made out of a gulp of air as an opening- quickly kneeling in front of Sun Wukong and, with his hands on the other's shoulders, urges him upwards. "Monkey king, what are you saying?? You are hurt so much worse than me, c'mon-"

"What do I matter?!!" the king almost barks out, hands sliding from his head to his arms, claws digging in. "I've hurt you!! You've been- this ALL happened because of me. And I am sorry! I-"

Not wanting to hear any more of this, Xiaotian summons all of the strength left in his body to... pull the king into a tight hug. He isn't strong enough to force the breath out of the great sage, yet he seems to have knock it out of him with that simple action anyway.

Holding on tight, Xiaotian nuzzles into the messy fluff of the king's neck. Burying his face in the warmth of it, exhaling in relief.

"Y-you shouldn't have had to-" the king weakly tries to object.

"You are worth getting hurt for, shifu. You deserve to be protected, too."

Maybe it's the sincerity. Maybe it's the fact nobody has told him such in his entire life yet. Or maybe it's that such a young small life could mean so impossibly much to the near infinite him.

But it is the last crack within the stone monkey that he can take.

The great sage breaks apart in the arms of his student.

@spotsupstuff 's short story took my money and left me crying on the floor - I had to do a quick sketchy comic for it

--Full image under the cut cuz i spliced it up all weird

[forgettin-my-legos]

alright hold on yall r getting a spam in a bit - I've been working on some comics and I wanted to space them out and clean them up to post b4 the special comes out bUUT that would be tomorrow. Soooo I'm just gonna dump alot of the WIPs because I wanna see if I guess right on anything - apologies in advance! i am just BUZZING abt this special my mind has been full but free time was zero

[forgettin-my-legos]

had an AWFUL thought. The worst actually. Bc what if we get THAT scenario where they defeat WBS and everythings back to normal but,,

sun dasheng isn't responsive.

Because you can free a vessel, but what all is that worth if it's still missing it's soul..?

[forgettin-my-legos]

Many bad imaginable endings- however i think the worst would be WBS possessing sun dasheng's body to make NFTs more marketable to kids.

horrifying.

Bonus pixelated qxt:

[forgettin-my-legos]

Warmup doodle cuz im mcSTRESSED abt who he's fighting

((SPOILERS)) LMK S3 Special Speculation--

I don't have any art to share atm but w all these episode title releases whats just HAUNTING me rn is what I'm trying to figure out with Long Xiaojiao like she gains the one weapon that is strong enough to counter WBS and her magic so how on EARTH does she eat dirt so fast that Sun Dasheng is able to toss her into a tower?? And the brutal thing playing in my head is that even if she gets cut off from her training w hong haier and has basically NO skills controlling the flame- the one skill she gained automagically was briefly quelling the samadhi fire to protect loved ones ie the fires silencing when qi xiaotian actually embraced her and her need for him to not be obliterated by the fire was strong enough to overpower the samadhi fire temporarily.

WELL. Sun Dasheng probably falls under that catagory of protection. LXJs gonna eat shit because she can't hurt dasheng -not just for her best friend's sake, but also her own. Like WBS pulled a MAD wicked move to get her hands on the samadhi fire by taking over Sun Dasheng because!! no ones gonna hurt him!! They'll fight him sure, but if he's the replacement Mayor bodyguard type- only way to WBS is thru taking out sun dasheng and NO ONE on that crew can bring themselves to do it, esp LXJ in this scenario so he's absolutely going to just take her out. She'll put out a vicious fight but I swear I'm waiting for a moment where she could defeat him but it could potentially kill him (samadhi fire IS one of the few things that can really truly hurt Sun Wukong) and she's gonna hold back the blow because she can't risk it. And All Is Lost is gonna swoop in and he's gonna take her out yall im STRESSED.
