Introduction Page

Hello! You can call me Helenor. I'm a girl and I just turned 18 in August (the 7th, in case you want to give me a gift 😉).

I love writing and drawing and I am always open to challenges and suggestions.

Right now, I'm focusing on Journey to the West (JTTW) and Lego Monkie Kid (LMK), as I've fallen in love with the fandom and with Macaque and Sun Wukong (my two comfort characters).

My mother tongue is Portuguese, but I plan to post mainly in English (to practice my English), but you can always request a translation into Portuguese or Spanish (I also practice my Spanish).

NEW AU! (Mermaids + Fishermen)

A version of the world where mermaids exist, but do not sing to attract men; In the depths of the sea, mermaids follow the law of the sea, everyone eats and is eaten, while humans live on the surface on islands, as the continents of the world have divided like Oceania;

MonkeyTrio AU (OC X CANON)

AU in process, a retelling of jttw and lmk, where Macaque (Liu'Er Mihou), Sun Wukong, Gi Bao and MK (Qi Xiautian) were the 4 mystical monkeys.

(I realized both Wukong and Macaque have methods to travel to Mexico, either by flying or teleporting lmaoo they could literally go to any game they want)

I have a speedpaint of this art, guys

and this on tiktok!!

actually, the idea for this art came to me while listening to My Demons by Starset. I really associate my lovely spaceman yaoi with this song

[heleonor]

Beauty! (☆○☆)

[glamygdala]

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!

pretend I have a funny caption for this

[psychicoasis]

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just posting this here and leaving. Sometimes I feel a little embarrassed to show some of my oc x canon stuff, but at least I've found some courage.

*

Não sei oque estou fazendo. Só estou soltando isso aqui e indo embora. As vezes dá uma certa vergonha de mostrar alguns oc x canon meus, mas pelo menos veio uma certa coragem.

[heleonor]

LINDOOO!!! PERFEITO!!! (☆○☆) (♡○♡) (◇○◇)
