Happy Pride Month!!
Staying proud during the good times and the bad times.
theory progression on what exactly happened between Wukong and Macaque cause literally one frame from s4 ep1 has shaken my world.
Wukong may not have killed Macaque, but he definitely landed a devastating blow that severely weakened him.
Macaque isn't shown dead in the flashback, even though he frequently references his own non figurative death ("ive had a taste of dying..." "kinda on this whole living streak..." his hanfu folded the wrong way, etc)
instead we get this
He's being sealed or restrained by something, but that part isn't important
What's important is this
He's reaching out for help
and Wukong isn't there. Instead his plea is answered by LBD. It may have factored into his immediate abandonment of the skeleton key. He wasn't reaching out for her, he wasn't reaching out for a partner for vengeance, was reaching out for his best friend.
Wukong didn't kill Macaque, but he certainly left him for dead
which somehow feels more devastating.
To add on to this I'm not sure if Wukong left Macaque dead per-say
Like if they really were as close as depicted and as Macaque described them to be, wouldn't Wukong like include Macaque in all of his immortality quests?
I don't necessarily mean drag him into them but things like, erase his name out of the book of the dead too when he was dragged into the underworld. It's already established Wukong erased his own name and the names of as many of his FFM monkeys as he could and one would assume Macaque's included on that list right?
And I wouldn't be surprised if Wukong shared a peach of immortality or two with Mac before their falling out. And they're supposed to be like spiritual equals anyway right?
I mean Wukong was almost showing off how immortal he is in JTTW, from decapitation, to embowelment of his organs, then being cooked AGAIN like Macaque may not be AS durable as Wukong but I'm assuming he can damn well survive impalement to the eye.
My theory is that Wukong delt a devastating blow, enough to incapacitate Macaque/maim him but not quite enough to kill him though it would kill any other random mortal/demon.
Like to him it'd be a "This is for your own good situation" because the journey was enlightment for him and he needed it for his own character development, Mac was clearly not letting go of dragging him home or killing the monk which would undeniably earn Heaven's ire and put EVERYONE including the FFM monkeys in danger possibly permanently. So to him, dehabilitating Mac was kinda the only way to send a message, a painful message.
But again we see LBD's chains where I suspect she intercepted his wounds and yada yada worked her spooky spooks and kept him under her thumb. Or heck, because his name wasn't in the book of dead, she very well could've dragged him into a forgotten section of the underworld regardless just to let that anger brew and build against Wukong for 'abandoning' him
Proceed to Lmk, Wukong acts like Macaque is just a nuisance, not how one would react to an old friend turned foe revived from the dead. It's too casual.
It just seems too off for me like he never knew Macaque died in the first place and his anger was just because Wukong gave him a large bonk on the head on the journey while Macaque is fuming from a place of "You KILLED me."
Ok I gotta say it.
Imagine MKR Wukong with Monkey Baby MK. There is a baby on him and he's so cute and feral and climbing all over him while chattering nonstop.
I propose: FAT baby monkey MK, and this one's got flat colours because I love the idea so much I gotta colour it in hehe
comms open here! or support me on ko-fi here!
New PFP alert!
now I am not putting a signature on this one because I don't think PFP's usually have signatures so I am BEGGING y'all to please, PLEASE be nice
I know like 99% of you guys are alright but i mean tell me why one random day I'm browsing through pintrest and I find my strawberry shortcake redesigns floating around there with no credit mind you
Like it was a surprise, Idk if I'd say nice surprise, I mean it was nice that someone thought my art was nice enough to share but just credit me please? Or just ask? So that i'm not jumpscared by my own stuff on other websites
and just so this post has SOME interaction, @ogvioletjedisylveon, @furornocturna, @ainnur, @fresastar, @dusty-ducky47, thoughts?

These dudes are fucking legit. They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”
The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.
In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”
Actual tears.. hnngh
Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.
where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang
This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on
Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.
Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)
More about BACA, from their site
My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af
They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.
What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???
NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.
it’s back! I will always reblog BACA
Damn good people.
I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them.
Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.
@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.
I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added.
Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.
Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA
They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.
I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers. So I can call them whenever I feel scared.
BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused.
And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy.
BACA has changed my fucking life.
I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.
If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I am physically being restrained against my will.
Supporting your local hero’s.
FUCKEN AMAZING what these Bikers do!!!! This is why I don’t give up on humanity…

Had seen this before, but never realised that this is on an international level - there’s even a contact address close to where I live (in Germany), very cool (though hoping the only use I’ll ever have to make of it is for donations) ❤
That’s a lot of countries.
