HAVE SOME BABIES

(In order) The Eclipse Twins Kai Hu/Rascal Shu, Bao and Lin

[winterpower98]

EVEN MORE OUTFITS THAT I’LL PROBABLY NEVER USE!

[winterpower98]

Let me introduce ya to the lovely couple, Ju Jing and Ju Ling (and a grown-up version of Rascal)!

Ju Jing is a baker, but he also sculpts statues as a hobby, sometimes he sells them too. He's also a sweetheart and despite his stature, he's not a fighter. Ju Ling isn't a workaholic but she does like to keep herself busy and help however she can. She works as a waitress at a bar in the village near her house, but she also cleans clothes for the old people (who always pay her more than what she asks for). She met Ju Jing when she had to go buy bread and pastries for the bar and the usual bakery she frequented was closed that day, so she went to the next one. The demoness was absolutely loved by the folks of the town, but she wasn't as appreciated by the few other monkey demons she met (even being a demon it was strange for a macaque to have black fur).

The two of them didn't fall in love immediately, it was a gradual thing, but even before realizing their infatuation, the two liked to spend time together. When Ju Jing confessed, he brought Ju Ling to a field covered in flowers and offered some baked goods he had made for her. He was obviously thinking of the wrong courtship tradition, but Ju Ling only found it more endearing. And besides, she liked cherry pie.

Ju Ling later bought him a silver cuff with small decorations on it that he could wear on his horns (and she almost cried in joy when she found out that her boss and coworkers had put some money aside for her so she wouldn't have to work overtime just to afford the cuff), and Ju Jing made her a necklace with a few stones and obsidian.

For Ju Jing, falling in love with Ri Shi took a lot more time and was a lot bumpier than when he fell in love with his wife. The fear of feeling like he was replacing Ju Ling while also tricking Cherry was what held him back the most. But when the two got together, the tall oni had to help the other demon a lot, Cherry feeling often inadequate or very awkward with her limited knowledge of romance and affection.

Kai Hu (Rascal) grows up to be quite the tall boy. Not as tall as his father, but he does beat Cherry and even Macaque in height. With time, he's also going to develop his passion for music and even carve his own Dizi (Chinese flute), first from wood, and then a second one from stone (how can a stone flute work you may ask? Magic).

Decided to add DoubleCherryPie (Ju Ling X Ju Jing X Ri Shi) to Dreaming in June so now y’all get to hear me ramble about them

What if Ri Shi and Ju Ling knew each other before the latter met Ju Jing? Ju Ling was Cherry's first friend outside of her own family and the two clicked together immediately. When Ju Ling meets Ju Jing, she tells Cherry all about him, sounding like she was lovesick. Cherry just nodded, not understanding until Ju Ling brings her to meet the oni.

Because it's the first time Cherry falls in love, she doesn't quite understand that she was experiencing an attraction, she doesn't understand why she feels certain things. So she asks Ju Ling and she explains it to her. After that Cherry apologizes to her friend, feeling like she was stealing from the other, but Ju Ling assures her that everything is fine and even asks her if she wants to talk about it further. Meanwhile, poor Ju Jing is feeling attracted to both girls and he is struggling with it. Hides it every time they come around, but still. Basically, he's having his own mental breakdown.

Ju Ling is a smart and observant demon so she easily realizes what is happening to the oni. She is the one to sit them all down and suggest the poly relationship. She has the braincell and we all love her for that.

A good thing about this is that Cherry and Ju Ling would balance each other nicely because, one is impulsive and will try to brute-force her way into a solution, while the other will slow down and look for the solution.

While at the same time, Ju Ling often gets too focused on something and forgets what's around her, while Cherry does her best to always be aware of who's near her.

Another good thing about DoubleCherryPie is, since Ri Shi isn't used to being loved so affectionately, she now has 2 people to shower her in love and affection! She is cornered and she can't escape from the affection.

Some domestic fluff: Ju Ling notices Ri Shi was having nightmares and asks Ju Jing if he can make Cherry something nice to eat while the two monkeys enjoy a warm bath with bubbly soap. Ju Ling makes sure her partner is pampered and enjoying herself by making jokes, talking, and singing.

Cherry tries to do the same thing when Ju Ling has nightmares. It doesn't work out quite the same, which frustrates the poor twin, but Ju Ling appreciates the gestures. Ju Ling loves that Cherry tried even when the other monkey has a hard time expressing feelings.

When Ju Jing has a nightmare about losing his girls, the girls immediately begin to comfort him. Cherry probably is the one to make something to eat, she makes Ma's Special Tea.

It's very in-character because both Ju Jing and Ri Shi have acts of service/making food as their love language (as well as physical touch for Cherry and words of comfort for the oni) while Ju Ling would say what is likely to happen and what could never happen, basically she reassures them through logic.

When Ri Shi exhales light pink smoke the first time... She panics and asks Ju Ling for help, thinking something was wrong with her. But then they narrowed in on its true meaning, and Cherry goes to hide under a ton of blankest while Ju Ling laughs.

Ju Jing is just confused as he was left out of the conversation. The light pink smoke happened and Cherry just booked it. Ju Ling won't hesitate to reassure the oni and explain to him what happened, even giving him some advice on what to do, but honestly, he ends up being flustered by them.

"I wasn't the one who did *lists something*" "Yeah well, I'm not the one who made our Cherry Blossom smoke up!"

Ju Ling is reading a book, sitting on Ju Jing's legs. The oni is just holding her, arms loosely around her middle, and his head resting on her back. Behind him is Ri Shi, grooming his hair, and Ju Ling is reading her book out loud for the other two.

The three of them really like to cuddle, and they often lay down, whether it's on the bed or in a grassy field. They are often joined by Kai, the little Rascal just climbs over the three and finds himself a spot, as cats do. Ju Jing is laying on his back or side, his girls laying their heads on his chest and belly as they cuddle Baby Kai between them protectively.

Kai's first word is mama, but it is said not to Ju Ling, but to Ri Shi. She holds him close after hearing his word, his little hands grabbing her face, and she just puts her head on his, crying and purring in happiness. Ju Ling hugs her partner happy and purrs as well. Kai squeals and repeats the word over and over happily

And what if Ju Ling and Ri Shi go on dates even if they are platonic? What if they give each other kisses on the face and purr loudly when they cuddle? WHAT THEN

They just like to share affection man. And being both monkeys, of course touch is their first go-to.

Though, being in a poly relationship, Cherry is still feeling terrified and often fears she might just be the third wheel. When Ri Shi manages to confess that to Ju Ling, to not only calm Cherry and shock her out of her worrying, but also to prove that it's okay, Ju Ling leaned in and gives Cherry her first ever kiss. It was chaste but it was the action in itself important. After the kiss, Ju Ling pulls the girl into her arms, hugging her tightly and purring loudly. "Ri Shi. You have no need to worry about this. You are dear to me and I want you to be happy. I want to help take care of you and be with you for the rest of our lives. And while I don't have the same romantic feelings for you that I do for Ju Jing, I do love you." Cue the tears

CherryPie and CinderPie courting jewels

Ju Jing makes a necklace for Ju Ling and a bracelet for Ri Shi, both having obsidians in them as well as other types of stones/gems. Cherry's probably has rubies on it while Ju Ling has garnet instead.

Obsidian is believed to have protective properties. And while it didn't protect Ju Ling, it protect Kai. Protected her until she could hide her son, until she could give him her necklace.

Rubies are believed to have a connection with the sun and are believed to be connected to good fortune, love, power, and light. It's also said that they have rare confidence-boosting powers and can help to up their sense of self-worth and put determination and self-belief back into every step they take. Just like Ju Jing did with Cherry.

Meanwhile, Garnets mean courage, creativity, positive thinking, love, hope, sexuality, sincerity, commitment and is believed to help your survival instinct at the ready. They are also believed to be connected to the Sun. A lot like Ju Ling's family was connected to Sun Wukong. Both are red colors, but garnets are darker reds (like old blood).

Ju Ling, with the help of her coworkers and boss, buys her husband a cuff that he can wear on his horn. As a way to respect Ju Jing's first partner, Ri Shi gives him something similar, but with different carvings on it. She's not replacing Ju Ling, after all, Ju Jing can keep wearing her bracelet that way. Ju Ling is still an important part of Rascal and his dad's life, even if she passed away.

The cuff Ju Ling gives Ju Jing has simple geometrical decorations on it, while the one Ri Shi gave him has decorations made in a similar pattern, but instead of being geometrical it has flowers and leaves on it.

[winterpower98]

How did Rascal's parents meet?

(Ling Ling's name has been changed to Ju Ling)

Ok, so, You know that scene from Cinderella 3 where Anastasia meets the baker? (if you didn't see that movie, please do I promise you it's quite good) It's basically that

(Thanks to @elianaroselight for giving these two a name)

Ju Ling was running errands in a nearby village when she went to the baker shop to buy some goods, and that's when she met Ju Jing. The big oni was almost too tall for the low celing of the shop but he managed to move around without knocking anything over.

They exanched plesentries, Ju Jing even made the much smaller monkey laugh and needed a second to recover once Ju Ling left because "Did I just hear heaven's bells and how can I listen to that forever"
