Hi. Headcannons? Yes.
Whats your head cannons for your characters if they went to college? What major would they have?
Favorite coffee shop drink?
Where would they work for a summer job?
Or just a job in general? What do you think they’d want to do in life?
(I have open ears lemme hear all about it)
bouncing up and down in business class LETS GO!!!!!!!!
think i'm gonna do all of these for tang, macaque, and wukong cause they are currently dancing in a silly circle in my brain rn :)
okay sooo lemme organize it teehees
Macaque
College: I definitely see him having some sort of arts major, probably in theater. I could see him learning how to be a teacher and especially teaching kids how to do fake fighting. He LOVES classes where he can actually act but kinda loses his mind in classes where he just has to sit and listen to the history of acting and theatrics and whatever. He does REALLY good in them but god does he prefer to and LOVE being able to put on a show.
Coffee Shop Drink: Mochas. He LOVES chocolate and coffee, so he loves it when he can get the best of both worlds. He'll get the hot stuff in the winter and cold stuff in the summer, but its usually a mocha. As much as he doesn't like to admit it, he really can't stand plain black coffee and needs to have a good chunk of cream and sugar in it if he drinks it on its own. Its part of the reason he prefers mochas, since they're already sweet.
Jobs: (Let's pretend that he's not doing mystic monkey stuff anymore...) For a summer job, I think he'd prefer something quiet like the library. I imagine he has really sensitive hearing due to autism and his three ears, so a library would be ideal. He can do his own thing and doesn't have to do a lot of one on one talking, which he really hates. He also would volunteer to read to kids during the summer events where kids come and listen to stories (do other libraries do that??? mine does lol) But for a regular job, like I said, I can definitely see him being a theater teacher, either for high school or college. He'd be a very lax teacher and one that would joke around, plays at being strict with grading and due dates, but really is very sympathetic and makes sure to help whenever he can. When reading through plays in class he makes it mandatory that they act it out during it. They can NOT read a play normally. He also makes sure he has a role because... of course he does.
Wukong
College: This one's a hard one... but considering his artistic talent in the show I really want to see him do something in commercial arts (totally not biased at all wdym). I think he might lean more towards comics and making things that tell interesting stories (and maybe dabbling in animation, but not for a career), but he doesn't have a real focus in it. He just likes doing cool art stuff that isn't painting and sculpting and yk... fine arts. I feel like he'd also take classes to learn game design and development so he can play around with that.
Coffee Shop Drink: Peach cream frapp. Gotta be peach flavored. He also gets cream frapps because it doesn't have caffeine in it (he is barred off due to anxiety issues). He LOVES sweet stuff and fruit flavored drinks, so if there is something that he wants to try, he makes sure its decaf before getting it.
Jobs: For a summer job I can definitely see him taking commissions from friends and online! He open and closes them frequently cause executive dysfunction is a bitch and attacks him on the regular, and its part of the reason he'd prefer not to get a full full job until he can get it sorted out. But if he did, I could see him making character designs while publishing his own comics on the side. I honestly really see him as a dude who really really loves to do what he wants to rather than what people tell him to, but will do it for the money and all that. He self publishes autobiographical comics about journey to the west and other stories that he comes up with in his silly little noggin. He also would do freelance illustrations for children's books I think.
Tang
College: Obviously the guy got his degree in teaching and Chinese mythology. He did exceptional in all of his classes despite doing almost everything at the last minute (Pigsy gave him shit for it, he swore he would stop, he never did). Most of the time in his classes a lot of the information for him seems to be second hand or common knowledge, and since he already knows a lot just by studying it in his free time (special interest moment), he didn't really need to study a lot, nor did he really want to. If he's required to study it, he doesn't wanna. If he wants to study it just cause, he'll stay up for hours and never shut up about it.
Coffee Shop Drink: Hrmm... this one's tough... I can see him liking mochas and sweetened ice coffees. Of course, though, his main thing is tea. Floral teas are his favorite and he chugs peppermint and honey teas when he has a cold. If he needs coffee, though, he'll get mochas and ice coffees. He also really likes he sweetness of it, but doesn't like it too sweet; he loves the bitter kick to it. Though, he doesn't like to have a lot of caffeine cause it makes him easily jittery.
Jobs: For a summer job, definitely the library too. He also likes the quiet and being able to do his own thing but he loves to give out information for people who ask. If a lot of teens or kids come by and need Journey to the West information for a paper he will sit them down and explain the entire book cover to cover and not stop until its sundown and they have to go home. For a regular job, I see him being a mythology professor for college. He prefers working with older students rather than those going through grade school since they actually seem to want to be there and won't give him as much issues. He'd be pretty lax with everything in the class and even will eat in the middle of teaching if he's hungry enough.
