Sad things are the saddest thing we sadly ignore. We all have a thousand of unshared & unspoken sadness. Hiding sadness is the saddest effort. Isn't that?

‘ i don’t understand. ’ From Rai to Green Snake

"Of course you don't, you're young. Understanding comes with age." She's not taking him seriously. He's but a child and she's spent her life raising children into adults who only understood marginally more.

"But more on topic, why I require one of the Shen Gong Wu isn't something you need to understand. It's simply borrowing, so if I need to speak to an adult about this, I'm more than willing to make my case - however I need to."

Her voice hardens at the end. Something like the indignance of needing store management when their employees were unhelpful, with the lilting threat akin to calling corporate if she left unsatisfied.

"So why not run along and get your Sifu for me?"

"cast your eyes to heaven, you get a knife in the back" (from chūn)

"A knife. That's a gentle way to put it - in my experience, it's less like a knife and more like a quartering then divvying up the insides."

"Heaven... they take and they take and they take 'till there's nothing left. And they don't give in equal measure. Their subjects can hardly live off what little scraps they provide. That damn Lion may have been a loon at the end but at least he was--"

No. Composure. Green Snake takes a breath, straightening her curling back best she could and exhales slowly.

"Nonetheless - I take it you have similar grudges, if you're coming to me with that sort of talk.."

Followed for Macaque, stayed for the good friendship we've built and the amazing dynamic chun and Macaque are turning out to have

[Everyone follows for the monkey and stays because he hooks them somehow. What's he got on you guys? Do I need to check him over for any kind of blackmail?]

[Headcanon Questions]

how do they laugh ?

Mean. Mean and controlled and a little unhinged. When he laughs, it's usually not because he's happy. At least, when he is, it's usually at someone's expense.

what kind of future do they crave, and who’s in it ?

A peaceful one on Flower Fruit Mountain. With Wukong, always.

what is their main love language ?

Acts of service. You don't do the things he's done and have it not be acts of service.

To the green snek!

[Headcanon Questions]

What is their main love language?

Acts of service. She's a woman who acts more than talks. And what she talks, she follows through on. The best thing she thinks she can do for her grandchildren is not to comfort them when they've been hurt, but to bandage the wound, physical or other, and tell them it's been made better. The best thing she can do is protect, act, prevent, reclaim, be the guardian her sister entrusted her to be.

What does “home” mean to them?

Her family. Her home with a garden by the rice paddies. Her sister.

Do animals like them instinctively?

Animals particularly suspicious of demons might not like her, no. But most don't hate her instinctively either, it's more a suspiciousness that's assuaged easily by a treat or good pets. By any measure, she's as much a demon as she is an old creature. Sort of balances out.

((Followed for the Macaque, stayed for the dynamics we built up. Honestly, love these two monkeys. They are angsty, silly and occasionally sweet at times. <3))

[Ooh, we built 'em good, too, didn't we? Good, strong dynamics. I half think sometimes Macaque needs to be a bit meaner to her, they're so sweet. xD]
