We must see these skimpy outfits immediately!
Hah! 😆
You know what, so long as it doesn’t break any tumblr rules or whatever, You all can send me a reference pic of what you believe what skimpy outfits Wukong sent Macaque
And I will draw Macaque in all of them~
I’m thinking of this
Just Wukong wanting to cover his love in precious gems and jewels
Would it please his royal highness warlord to receive a weighted blanket, weighted stuffed animals, empanadas, pozole rojo, jarritos, and conchas( and if he so wishes enough of each to share)
His royal highness is still dealing with the cosmic brownie
Hi I’m back with more art, I can tell that you are more focused on dispatch right (I’m planning on watching some play throughs)
But I got inspiration to draw for the alternative version of heart of stone au
Ty for patience regarding my hyperfixation change. <3
The baby is gotdang cute, and the composition is unironically so cool!
Wukong reduced to a stony shell, as Macaque is illuminated with his ears, and the Baby - settled in the safe yet unsure arms of the Monk.
This is so cool <3
(For those not in the know of my JTTW AUs, don't worry. Wukong will get better. But Macaque is going to have a hell of a time getting him back.)
It my birthday 🎉
This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
The War Is Almost Over… but Our Struggle to Rebuild Has Just Begun.
Every day here in Gaza feels like a year carved into our chests. The war isn’t like it was in the early days—the sky is quieter, the air carries less smoke, and the nights hold fewer explosions. But the pain… it still lives under the rubble, inside our memories, and in the empty spaces where our loved ones once stood.
I’m writing this today not because the war has completely ended, but because for the first time in a long while, it feels like the horizon is opening a little. A small space where we can breathe, gather ourselves, and try to rebuild what’s left of our lives. Yet every step forward feels like walking on wounded memories, and every stone from our destroyed home whispers stories we never got to finish.
We lived through nights so heavy we thought morning would never come. We lost things that can never be replaced—homes, dreams, pieces of our hearts. But we are still here… holding on, trying, fighting to stay standing despite everything.
And in the middle of this long road… there is a house. A house that once carried laughter, warmth, noise, and life. Today, all that remains is an image holding a memory—and rubble longing for the people who once lived inside.
Today, we are trying to rebuild—not just the walls of a house, but an entire life that was shattered. We are trying to create a new beginning, to live with dignity again, to give our family a sense of safety that we’ve been missing for so long.
We’re not writing this to mourn what was lost, but to ask for a chance to start again. We ask for your support because rebuilding after a war is not something one person can do alone—it is a human effort, a shared act of compassion. We need you. We need your hearts. We need your help to stand again.
Every contribution—no matter how small—makes a difference. It becomes part of our story, part of rebuilding a home, part of reviving a life that nearly faded.
The war may be almost over… but our journey back to life begins now.
My name is Naser AbuThaher. I’m 18 years old, and I live in Gaza.
🌿✨ Thank you to every soul who still feels our pain, and to everyone who reaches out a hand to help us rise again.
Here is another set of outfits
LOOK AT HER! THE FIRST OUTFIT IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE (i'm a sucker to traditional outfits hehe)
For any of the aus, what type of baby were each kid,
I’ve been around a lot of babies and one thing I’ve noticed is that they are either side eyeing, angry face, or laughing at everything,
I’m just imagining shadowpeach freaking out a bit because one of their house plant( newborn) has a grumpy face, turns out that is just their resting face
Hmm if we base it on the options you gave then
Xiaoxing= Giggly baby
Xiaolei= Side eye baby
Xiaoyue= Angry face/side eye baby lmaooo
Xiaoyue is just judging everyone while simultaneously being a cutie patootie
Here are some outfits for little Mengtao Dixei
LOOK AT THE PRECIOUS BUTTERFLY BABYGIRL MONKIEEEE
I love the diversity of the outfits to be honest. They range from cute and dainty looking to playful and cute and it just makes me wanna squeeeeeeze her so tightly!!! Thank you eating this art with glee-!
And there are more to come
Here’s a special snippet of the Bad End AU first chapter! The official story won’t be posted until I finish the first arc at least, BUT YOU CAN HAVE THIS PAIN AS A CRUMB UNTIL THEN-
Shoutout to @sapphirewitch274 for getting me excited to finish this!!!
“Wukong!” Macaque screamed, watching the blue spirit absorb completely into the defenseless King, who yelled in pain, his body jerking as if trying to kick her out, before her cold voice began to laugh hysterically.
“Finally! I will achieve perfection!” Her hysterical laughter broke off into a screech, her painfilled scream causing Macaques’ six ears to press tightly to the side of his head as he winced, wide eyes watching as the puppet that was his Kings’ body leaned forward. “W-What is happening?!”
Macaque wished he had the answer as well, he could feel MKs’ hands grip his shirt tighter as they stared at the scene before them. Magenta red flickered around the body with two spirits fighting for control, the blue slowly becoming encompassed by the red, the ice around Wukong melting, leaving not even a puddle behind.
“What’s going on Macaque?” MK whispered, eyes wide as they watched the magenta slowly force the blue back, Wukongs’ eyes flicking between blue and red, showing the war within the ginger monkey.
“I think…I think Wukong is trying to force her out.” breathed the shadow monkey, ears picking up the sound of the verbal power struggle between the wraith and the Celestial Monkey.
“Sun Wukong, stop this insistent nonsense now or we’ll both perish, you fool!”
“Fuck you, if I’m going down…you’re coming with me, bitch.”
“You would let this world fester and rot like a cesspool of nothing, but filth, for what reason?!”
“Because this world can change for the better and it’s time relics like us disappeared for good!”
Macaques’ breath stopped as he heard the Lady Bone Demon give another shrill scream before the Samadhi Fire sprouted forth once more, this time engulfing Wukongs’ entire body once more. He watched as the fire continued to burn, not even the slightest bit of blue shining through anymore as it continued to burn and scorch the floor around the monarch.
“This…is the last layer I had…” Wukong sounded so tired… “I’ve given this world another chance and MK can handle the rest with his friends…”
“No…No!” He screamed, moving to try and get closer to try and save Wukong, even if he burned with him. “Wukong!”
Even from the distance they were at, he saw red eyes look over his way, a sad smile marring Wukongs’ face, even as his body began to burn away into ash. The shorters’ mouth moved slowly, each word a painful stab into Macaques’ chest. “Wo ai ni…Mihou.”
And then…he was gone, leaving nothing, but a slowly dwindling fire that began to burn out without anything to sustain it.
The area was now quiet and cold, both MK and Macaque watching the remains of the fight with heavy hearts and tears wearing paths down their cheeks.
Here is a teaser to go with the snippet
I COME IN SWINGING A BRICK-
So, I think we all remember that Angst brick I was smacked into next century with the other day and in case we don't, I have the link for it here and I highly recommend that you go look at that ask first before you come and read this large soft launch-
Me when I and someone else was bouncing this idea ball back and forth:
NOW I HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR THIS BRICK BECAUSE THE KISS FOR THIS IS ALL THE WAY AT THE END-
So, in the bad end, Wukong did 'unplug' like the ask brought up and it broke everyone up, none of them really believing it at first, but the one who's the most broken up about it is Macaque.
He's so broken up and distraught about the situation, believing that Wukong was truly the selfish idiot through the entire thing, but he thinks this is Wukongs' biggest selfish move and he can't even get angry about it because he's too upset about it.
Months go by and the others try to move on, though it doesn't really go well on any of their parts with the stages of grief holding them like the chains that Wukong always hated being placed on him. One day, lost in memories and depression, Macaque is forced out of Wukongs' his hut to at least walk around, he finds himself at Wukongs' birthplace and…a new stone egg settled innocently on the mountain once more.
This spirals into a new series of feelings for everyone.
MK and Tang don't know if the egg will actually hatch nor do they believe that it could even be Wukong, considering he took his name out of the Book of the Dead and can't enter the reincarnation cycle. Mei and Pigsy don't even think its truly a stone egg and that Macaque has finally lost it from the grief. Sandy is the only one who believes in the egg being able to hatch and helps Macaque try to hatch the egg and the only thing showing them that this isn't for nothing is the fact that the magic in the stone egg is still warm and thrumming.
Some more months pass and Mac can feel his hopes dwindling, but one day the egg hatches. It's…different. It's not bright and flashy like Wukongs' birth had been and the Celestial Monkey that comes out of the egg looks completely different from Wukong.
Dark blue with light pink tips replacing an auburn mane, shining cyan in place of golden eyes, pink red fur on the main body, a butterfly mask instead of a peach one and more than anything…instead of a male, the cub that comes out of the stone egg is a female of all things.
(This art was a gift from @lms274 and they were the main inspiration for this AU getting more than a thought in my head, check out their art!)
After the initial meeting, Mac can't bring himself to try and put in the effort anymore, especially when the little one shows more changes from his King.
Where Wukong was loud and always craving attention, the cub is quiet and preferred to watch the others around her enjoying the spotlight. Where Wukong had so many different powers, she only has a handful of them on hand, despite having his magic and the large abundance of it. Wukong was prone to violence as a cub, this cub would prefer not even trying to rough house with the troop members.
Hoping still, that there was a way Wukong was truly inside this…imposter, Mac takes her to see Guan Yin at Nezhas' insistance.
The verdict is, though it may be Wukongs' soul, the Great Monkey King that they once knew no longer exists in this tiny body and it breaks Mac once more.
So, one day, Mac just…leaves her at Sandy's boathouse and doesn't come back for her. He never even named her.
Sandy takes it upon himself to make sure the cub gets the love and attention that he knew Wukong would've wanted her to have, even if no one else is helping him because its too hard for them to see her, but they're not completely over Wukongs' death just yet.
He starts by naming her Mengtao Dixei.
Mengtao 梦桃 m & f Chinese From Chinese 梦 (mèng) meaning "dream, to dream" combined with 桃 (táo) meaning "peach, peach tree", as well as other character combinations that can form this name.
Diexi 蝶熙 f Chinese From the Chinese 蝶 (dié) meaning "butterfly" and 熙 (xī) meaning "bright, splendid, glorious".
He names her this in order to show new beginnings, just like Wukong would've wanted.
Sandy takes care of Diexi for a while without too many problems, until he reaches a point where he needs outside help. He's helped people with their young ones and he's raised kittens and cats, but this was a Celestial Monkey, who already felt like she'd been abandoned by her troop with Mac leaving her the way he did.
So, he goes to the Demon Bull Family, who had been grieving in the solitude of their lair.
Thing is, Macaque never told them about the egg nor did he ever tell them that the egg hatched, so when they learn they have a new way to keep Wukongs' legacy alive, even if she was completely different from their beloved little brother, they'll take it.
Princess Iron Fan and Demon Bull King are nothing if not a doting aunt and uncle.
Dixei is being slightly fussy? DBK is there, holding her gently as he shushes her and rocks her back to sleep with the skin on skin contact that monkey cubs adore.
Dixei happened to look at a cute butterfly clip as they were passing the store? PIF has already bought the entire stock and then ordered more things just because she looked at it.
Red Son is no better than his parents, looking after his new little cousin as if she was the most precious little princess. Buying her outfits and often making her toys that can occupy her mind and time, while making sure nothing can ever harm her as long as she is in his home.
Eventually, the others would come around and start helping out, after apologizing to Sandy, but Mac still avoids Dixei like the plauge, even when he tries to watch her from the shadows, thinking this was all he was allowed after failing Wukong the first time around.
Until the day they do come face to face.
Dixei remembers him as the blurry figure she met when she was first hatched, but then he was gone. She holds no feelings towards him and that is when Mac realizes that he almost made the biggest mistake of his life by not being there sooner.
He suddenly becomes father of the year. Spoiling her with all her favorite fruit (its peaches, painfully so) and taking extra interest in her likes (funny enough, its butterflies and most wildlife) and at first it was to alleviate the guilt that had returned tenfold, but along the way he stopped seeing Wukong and only saw his precious little butterfly.
Mac makes sure to tell her all about her 'mother', who protected them and gave his life up for them and the world, like the true hero he was. Even if Wukong can never return, Macaque would make sure his story is never forgotten, nor the sacrifice he gave for them, even if only their ragtag group knows about it.
I love how this au is shaping up to be, and I drew some more of Mengtao Dixei,
I’m excited for what is to come next

I’m just imagining Tired Wife Wukong when braille was introduced and implemented though out china ,( which according to google was when it was first used on 1874 for the Mandarin language ), he now has another way to experience the world even is he is no older able to see it
Wukong would be over the moon and nothing would stop him anymore-! He's always loved reading and it was hard for him when he couldn't do it anymore, but when Mac brings up the first step of learning braile to him, he starts learning every way he can (though due to his natural affinity to learning, Wukong catches on v fast) and his troop instantly make two copies of everything for their important documents and scrolls and treaties (the normal kind for Mac to read and then a braile version for Wukong, who beams and loves it).
This is such a sweet thing for the entire mountain and they're happy that their King has something to keep him going sometimes.
I saw the ask about Redemption and tired wife meeting, but I also saw the one asking about what if Wukong had succeeded with his original plan with the Samadhi fire,
I’m just imagining a Macaque meeting those two other Macaques and feeling so jealous, that why could he not have his king when there was Redemption Macaque who did have his Wukong but had bullied him as a way of flitting. And then there’s tired wife who got to marry his Wukong
SHJDGLSDF
DID YOU KISS THAT BRICK BEFORE YOU THREW IT?!
That meeting would end up horrible.
The Ask!Macaque would be so bitter and jealous, like worse than he was originally before Wukong passed. Despite his original anger towards Wukong and his hatred towards the Monk and how their relationship had gone, Macaque had never actually wanted Wukong gone.
Tired!Macaque wouldn't be happy with this guy either and would be doing nothing, but spitting venom at him essentially, since his Wukong (his wife) is his life, his love and his everything. Even the thought of being the one to push him to the brink that Ask!Mac did would break him down on the inside out.
Redemption!Mac would be completely devastated at the mere thought, since he remembered in Plank by Plank the conversation they all had and how it broke him on the inside when he realized that Wukong had always been passively suicidal and it just...breaks something in him and makes him want to try and protect his Wukong more than he'd ever wanted before.
At some point, Ask!Mac even has the brief thought of trying to replace one of the other two, most likely he would try it with Tired!Mac, but me and @wolfsbanex-x kind of made him a unit (anything you throw at Tired!Mac he can throw back two times harder, it was how he managed to courtnap Wukong successfully and protect him from other suitors), so it wouldn't work, but it would break him when he realizes that he would really never see or have his own Wukong again.
All around, sad hours for Ask!Mac, while Tired!Mac just wants to go home and love his wife (and thank every star that they weren't a wreck like the other two macs), and Redemption!Mac is just ready to really do better and not mess up any more than he'd already done.
How would the tired wife ay shadow peach react when/if they have a cub, are you planning on making the cub Mk?
Either way I’m just imagining the parents dressing the cub up in a lot of cute little outfits while it’s in the house plant phase of infancy
So me and @wolfsbanex-x spoke about this one-
We are planning some cubs later down the line, we will neither confirm nor deny if its MK, for spoiler reasons xD
Wukong would be v happy to learn he's pregnant and I mean, like through the roof. When he finds out he's happy crying, excited and telling anyone who would listen (starting with Macaque and ending with PIF-). He has always wanted to started a family, especially with Macaque, and the fact that it's happening is almost like a dream come true to him...until the pregnancy's hormones and effects kick in, but he's happy nonetheless! xD
Macaque on the other hand faints the minute he finds out, mostly cause he honestly didn't even think stone monkeys could get pregnant, but once he's up and about he's ecstatic about the news and just a tad bit more overprotective than usual. He's making sure everyone on the mountain knows that nothing is going to get near his wife and cub without going through him at least four times.
As for the dressing their kids up, most definitely. Mac already helps in choosing Wukong's outfit for the day, since the other doesn't particularly care what he's wearing as long as it feels comfortable (a positive with not being able to see the multitude of outfits PIF and Mac bought him) and Mac will dress their cub up to match their mama and then proceed to have an entire photoshoot of just the two of them doing the most mudane things or just sitting there.
He's a proud dad and simp, thank you very much xD
Can we see Rumble’s baby please!
Say hello to Dawn and Dusk! Twin girls. (Both because I couldn't decide between designs AND because it's a lot more common for twins to have twin children later).
