SUNSET TRIO LADYBUGS
Ive been tweaking about this I'm going to draw them actually im so deadass
Can someone tell me what kind of ladybugs they are? I can't figure it out for the life of me. I think the red one is a type of Harmonia axyridis (ladybeetle or ladybird) and so is the orange one but I'm not sure about the yellow one

ermmm hi here's moomins
every time someone decides to make Wukong into MKs dad AND takes it another step further and makes MK a baby/toddler/kid, an angel DIES and GOES TO HELL FOREVER
this is all so fucking real this is so real. we need more baby MK content without dad Wukong. we need this so much dude. Atypical i will make baby MK content for YOU. 🫵 i will do this for you
My beef with the LEGO Monkie Kid writing (and fandom...) PART 1:
TLDR: While deviation from source material is not inherently bad, Monkie Kid neglects certain crucial bonds or attributes from Journey to the West to appeal to fanservice and censorship.
spoilers up until Season 5 for anyone who hasn't seen it (if you're new to the show)
I have A LOT TO SAY about Monkie Kid I kinda doubt this is gonna get much attention but I like discussions a lot and would love to hear other people's takes!! THIS IS GONNA BE DIVIDED INTO PARTS!!!! (since I can never shut up about this show.... also everyone has poor attention spans and can't stand to read more than a paragraph or page worth of text)
"Oh but sundae it's a kids show!" I know! but there are plenty of shows "for kids" that have incredible writing. Not saying Monkie Kid doesn't have good writing! It does! but there are certain inconsistencies I'm bothered by (especially in respect to it's source material, plot holes, and fan service.... lots of fanservice)
Feel free to reblog and add onto this if you've read this far! I appreciate it!
STARTING OFF WITH THE SOURCE MATERIAL VS THE SHOW:
There is nothing wrong with deviation from source material! Many shows often take inspiration from their source material even in "epilogue" equivalent shows or spin offs! The issue with Monkie Kid though is that I'm disappointed it doesn't delve into Wukong's relationships OUTSIDE of Macaque enough and even leaned towards more fanservice in regards to Macaque and Wukong's past friendship. Not only that, but the source material contains heavy Buddhist attributes, which I hardly see mentioned or incorporated into Monkie Kid!
We even had potential for a glimpse of Wukong and his relationships with Tang Sanzang, Zhu Baije, Sha Wujing, and even Ao Lie! (Season 4 Special)
While I'm not a Shadowpeach fan, throughout the seasons it's gotten obvious that the show wants viewers to pay attention more towards Wukong and Macaque, when Macaque is a very minor character in the original JTTW! While Macaque becoming a primary antagonist and later anti-hero is not an issue, the lack of equal attention and care for Wukong's other relationships is! This is also a MAJOR fanservice issue since a majority of viewers appeal to the ship.
We have had VERY subtle hints of Wukong implied to miss his former companions, but nothing more! Where's the on-screen grief? Even Azure Lion's admiration and grief for Wukong was portrayed–from his perspective–which is understandable! But we never see Wukong's journey towards Enlightenment! A real scene pack with several shots dedicated to his companions! Not just the small origami friends seen in Season 5 or the SHOTS. SHOTS of Wukong and his companions in comparison to SCENES of Macaque and Wukong.
We had the chance to see this, but it was immediately killed off thanks to fanservice. Shadowpeach got more attention to it over Wukong's own MAJOR JOURNEY THAT CHANGED HIS LIFE. Since Season 4 was a goodbye love letter from Flying Bark (the previous animation studio) to the fans, I see why the writers might have given fans what they wanted to see. But it irks me that the Season 4 Special and even Season 5 (bless WildBrain animator's SOULS) would lean so badly towards fanservice and bend the knee to it.
I'll go into fanservice and SOME of this godforsaken fandom and how disrespectful it is towards RELIGIOUS DEITIES in another post/part 2 or 3.
Not to mention the lack of mention of Buddha. I understand Monkie Kid is likely censored and restricted from diving into the religious aspects of the Journey, but it disappoints me that even certain religious aspects journey itself is brushed aside.
TO BE CLEAR: I've seen far more educated and informed people discuss this before, and while I'm not Buddhist nor have I finished reading all of Journey to the West or am educated enough to respectfully critique the show for this exclusion, I want to include this incase someone who IS familiar with Chinese Mythology can add onto this (if they see this and want to)
For a show that doesn't mind depicting other religious deities mentioned (Nezha and Sun Wukong are primary examples of this) it hurts me that we don't actually have Buddha in Monkie Kid AT ALL or even a PROPER MENTION (not just the joke MK made in season 1 when he ALMOST said the Buddha's name!).
TLDR: While deviation from source material is not inherently bad, Monkie Kid neglects certain crucial bonds or attributes from Journey to the West to appeal to fanservice and censorship.
okay thanks for reading feel free to add onto this or debate me
yallll you have gotta figure out where/how to pirate this show... i see so many people sad about how its so hard to watch, they dont know where to find it, etc... I Have The Whole Thing Downloaded To My Computer, And You Can To
only og fans know HappyKids, Boomerang, and Amazon , obviously 🙄
SUNSET TRIO
I miss them dearly
LMK SUNSET TRIO AKA SILLY SIBLINGS PROPAGANDA
Now that I have a Tumblr I can spread my sibling propaganda of these guys!!! Sunset trio is my personal trio name to Wukong, Nezha, and MK :D I also call them ☆silly siblings☆ but their whole dynamic is very under-appreciated and we don't see enough of them <//3
headcanons include...
oldest child Wukong, middle child Nezha, and youngest child MK
Nezha being serious and stern towards Wukong, while kind and understanding towards MK
Apathetic Wukong, Empathetic MK, Sympathetic Nezha (I'll probably write more/elaborate on this at some point)
Royalty duo falling out during/post Samadhi fire era before third silly sibling (MK) brings them back
They don't really all hang out often together but still keep in touch
Wukong tells stories about his past adventures, and Nezha constantly corrects and reminds him of stuff he was also there for while MK is happy to listen :]
Nezha sometimes gives MK advice, but he's not too sure if it's the best person to consult, he's open to comforting someone tho if they're close to him
Guys you are not immune to sunset trio they've lived in my head since season 3's special came out so I will spread my propaganda they must be heard (I'll draw them soon)
I should add onto this saying I know Nezha is older than Wukong but it's really funny to imagine he gets forgotten in most events and is easily overlooked like in a typical "middle child" energy dynamic
I really miss them (SUNSET TRIO RAAGHHH)
Mei (I butchered the drawing when I did lineart..)
made Nezha's legs too short to body ratio but ehhh it's fineee...

Monkieeee Kid!!! (art dump)
I got sick :,) here's an art dump for you guys to make up for lack of actual content. I've been planning on the sunset trio compilation but haven't quite had the time yet to create it 😅... hope you enjoy these simple doodles I had fun making!
SUNSET TRIO 💛🧡❤️
it's been a while hasn't it? Here's some food for you guys 😢😢 I'm open to take art requests for LMK characters (specifically duos/trios) so if you guys have any ideas I'd love to hear them!!
I also forgot to mention I have an ao3 now... 😅 I posted something old I'm not super proud of but you guys should check it out

I love the monkey trio but God I want wukong to intract with others so badly like I know in universe wukong and mei are friends but I want to see it in the show I want specifically an episode like "amnesia rules" with wukong and any of the others give it to me now!
Same with macaque like I love his interactions with wukong and mk but go hang out to other people damn at least wukong talk to other people he specifically has a complicated relationship with nezha like nezha obviously deep down care about wukong despite being annoyed by him
I want that for macaque he literally have no deep connection with anyone other then mk and wukong and him and wukong aren't even back as friends yet I think it's his personal choice to act like a "loner" that why I think a friendship with him and sandy or mei would make sense sandy is a sweetheart and he seem to always want to include him
Get this guy some friends ASAP!
"He has the ability to spit rainbows in some legends." -Nezha wiki
was looking through nezhas wiki and came across this
the moment i saw this i just had to draw it
AHDJF THEMMMM THE SHHFJ PINK LEMONADE DUO!?!?
Mk literally said fuck you to "don't meet your heroes" trop
He met wukong learned he's flaws and mistakes but it didn't change his relationship with him or the way he feels about him like he's supposed to be perfect
if anything it made their relationship stronger from idolising to friends to family he didn't push wukong away when his idea of who's wukong is was wrong instead he accepted those flaws
