(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠) This cat who always finds an opportunity annoy Y/N !

Macaque looks so cute in the "Moonpie version" <3

He is capable of messing with Reader and then getting out of trouble by playing the "cutie role" right after to not make them angry at him hahah

Thanks for the art, I love your art ♡

You're really making me inspired to continue my story.

Is Valentine a girl? What are the pronours for Valentine?

Well, "Valentine" is a character that represents the Reader in the story, so they can have any pronouns and/or gender that the person reading prefers, really.

I use the gender-neutral ones because, to me, it feels easier to make anybody feels more included. I personally feel less compelled to read masculine points of view; the feminine or neutral ones are better to me (sometimes I read masculine ones, though; I'm usually on board when the concept appeals to me).

The Reader still has a specific personality and background, because the character would be too flat without it, in my opinion. To me, it's part of the magic to get to know a "new version" of the Reader Character in any story.

If I have to turn something canon, I say that, Valentine!Reader use all pronouns; in particular, they/them, still use all of them. She/her, or he/him, or they/them, all of them work here. And talking about gender, I feel like they would be genderless or gender-fluid.

I'm between two conflicting states.

One side of me is electric and full of ideas, and the other is tired/sad, with no the energy to put my ideas into practice.

I went to a geek event yesterday with my friends, and I had the pleasure of finding a Lego Monkie Kid sticker pack at the Artist Alley :D

This cartoon is not popular here since there is no translation to my country, so there is practically no merchandising of it here. Such a great finding!

I just finished watching the new Monkey King movie on Netflix. This was so fun; I loved it!

I will refrain from talking too much to avoid giving spoilers, but I loved the ideas they had for the staff.

[scaredcrab]

It's been some time that I saw some people in the fandom drawing themselves as specific lmk characters, like "oh, if I were an LMK character, I would be Sun Wukong", "I would be Tang".

I'm absolutely sure that if I were an lmk character I wouldn't be any important member of the cast, I would surely be that person selling food at the Shadow Play episode that is just DONE with life and dealing with complex orders.

I love Sun Wukong. I just love him.

He is such a little guy, he is such a lil charismatic creature. And he is also so cool, so strong and smart (I really adore his way of being he, you know???). The world is blessed for the existence of this character.

Everything he decides to do makes me smile. Clapping hands and jumping around when happy? Eating fruits and sleeping on trees? Yes, go for it, my king. Overthrowing an empire? Defying gods? I'm in favor of all of this, it just needs to be him doing.

I love every interpretation of him that is presented to me. It can be a tired old grandpa, funny silly monkey dude, cute chaotic gremlin, tsundere angry boy, sassy bitch, mischievous trickster. The way that any aspect of him can be taken to create a new version of him, because his personality is striking like this, a single trait of his character is enough to create a whole new work of art.

I love every different design made. The ancient images of him, the animations studios approach, game designs, each personal art that any artist creates. Tall? Short? Chubby? Buff? Skinny? It doesn't matter, he is our king!

The different fan headcanons are also appreciated (not all, cause some people go crazy). AroAce? Yes, I love this one, it seems pretty close to the canon in my view, but gay Wukong? Bi or Pan? Nice, he can be those too. Demi???? YES, GIMME DEMI WUKONG. Trans? Feel welcomed here :D

Amazing in canon, amazing in fanon, in child content, wherever he goes he shines like the star that he is.
