SIXTY FIVE THIRTY FIVE IM DYING

[nevereacheaven]

CC:

Brother: What does the order mean?

Person filming: They/she?

Brother (increasingly frantic): Yeah but I’m, I don’t wanna fuck it up. Is it— what does that mean you said she/they and then you said “oh wait no use they/she,” which one do I use?

Person filming: They- they more than she.

Brother: Oh god

[laughter from the person filming]

Brother: Okay, like, how- how much more though? Is it like if- do I- am I being an asshole if I say, like, they maybe like 4 times and she 2 times?

[more laughter]

Brother continued: Or is it like, 60-40? 65-35?

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

[majodump]

Let’s start adding other wukongs to this.

Might i add edgy boy

[glamygdala]

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.

[majodump]

That reminds of

Funny yet responsible Wukong

[heartwitchhouse]

pokemon wukong

[nonbinary-morro]

teen wukong

[pureforestguardian]

 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

[glamygdala]

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

[kukuandkookie]

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! 👀

[glamygdala]

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.

[xeraeus]

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

[heretic-saint-taliesin]

Here to add Koei-Tecmo’s Warriors Orochi 3 Wukong too

[glamygdala]

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:

[madammonkie]

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”

[lovelyladylavie]

Technically Dragonball was based off of Journey to the West so we get Anime Reinterpretation Son Wukong:

[starlitskvader]

Might I offer Tactical RPG Sun Wukong?

[gojira007]

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” 

[ifra-strawberii]

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

[madammonkie]

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

[glamygdala]

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!

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

[wildlyannoyingdoofus]

… 8|

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

[snackwizard]

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

[808lien]

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

[maramahan]

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking

[jkl-fff]

[scottjate]

This is so important

[chiimeramanticore]

do me a favor and reblog this and put in the tags what time it is for you and what you're currently doing/thinking about

[jack-ofaces]

btw chat lets stop saying shit like “REBLOG THIS OR YOURE A TERRIBLE PERSON” pls

[jack-ofaces]

ok another addition to this bc i have to add something to it

i feel like some people see this and dont rly understand what it actually means esp to people with ocd

that little “youre a horrible person for not wanting this on your blog” or “you need to reblog this now or you dont care about this problem” sets some people off and may cause them to have an episode or panic attack of some kind even if it has no impact on you personally

and your intention may be good and you really do want to cause awareness but there are MUCH better ways of doing that, even a simple “THIS!!” or even just “this is important!” will do much more good than harm

[jack-ofaces]

prevs tags helps explain why you shouldnt do this better than i did methinks

extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

happy pride month to this guy specifically

[beehunterkisser]

OhGOD.the deranged amount of doodles I have made of them is actually alarmin

[complete-clownery]

Oh no! They lost MK! 😱

I have no idea where the vine is I based this one on, but you get the idea

[walrus-tusk-615bc]

Tiger Lily, the woman that you are…. Ily…….. (also Raspberry’s gay ass)

Technically a redesign?? Reimagining??? I love her design, I just do NOT believe that her ass would have silky straight hair after like 20 years in the jungle ain’t no way. Give her messy hair. Give her muscles. Give her some fur. Make her stinky I need it. Also if Hollyberry doesn’t figure out that Tiger Lily is her missing granddaughter next update I’m throwing hands.
