Lowkey I really need Shadow! Macaque to somewhat make it bcs his Wukong highkey looks ready to jump if Macaque deteriotes and basically does ngl

Wukong would indeed be in a VERY bad way if something were to happen to Macaque!

I'll admit the Shadow AU just gets made up on the fly so I really don't know how that story ends but I don't think it will have a bad ending necessarily.

I don't know when I'll ever get a chance to get back to writing fanfic so I've put a couple of thoughts below how Shadow might end below the cut!

So, any ending I do for foresee for this AU normally takes place a long, long time after the events of LMK - I'm talking hundreds, if not thousands of years.

I could see myself reusing elements of this post I made a while back which involves both Wukong and Macaque becoming one with their elements, the former a stone statue meditating for eternity and the latter a shadow that drifts across the world without a purpose.

If I were to play a round with that some, it would probably be less tragic than it was in that original post, there would be more conscious decisions made by both Mac and Wukong and the spiritual connection between them would remain strong.

I think I'd view it as the two of them finding a new mode of existence, one more spiritual in nature than physical. Maybe Wukong leaves his body behind to follow Mac permanently into the Void, their souls intertwined as they exist as part of everything and nothing? Maybe Wukong maintains his body but it slowly turns to stone as he meditates to maintain his connection with Mac's spirit - still technically available if the world needs him but otherwise he's made his choice to experience the world with Mac, through Mac's "eyes".

I never really think about the scenario where they somehow "save" Mac from returning to the Void because I guess I find that a little boring? And while it's not necessarily a conventional happy ending, I do think the idea of them becoming some more (and other) together sort of sappy and sweet? And it's as close to a "happily ever after" as I'm likely to ever give them to be honest!

But yeah, nothing's set in stone and one day I might finally get back to writing and decide on a different direction altogether but this is where my thoughts are generally at with regard to an ending for now!

Hey Lego Monkie Kid Fandom Artists!

I got an idea you can use (Since i already got a lot on my plate, so i might as well share it for others too use!)

Monkie crew walking up to MK saying like: "You good MK/son/bud?"

MK: Oh yea! Everything is fINe, why you asking?

(Meanwhile MK's clones in the background)

Porty Mk: Lets get this... pOrTy... (just starts crying) STarTed ;-;

Artist MK: WHAT DOES SHE(Nuwa) LOOK LIKE?! WHY CANT I REMEMBER?! IT

NEEDS TO BE- PERFECT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!(I feel you artist MK)

Obese MK: Comfort eating while just crying straight up waterfalls

( And just generally all MK's clones, showing how MK's mental health is doing)

If anyone wanna draw this idea, just do it! And please tag me so i can reblog it and fangirl exitely over it :D

Idea: Lego Monkie kid AU

(Red Son-centric & maybe spicynoodles(?))

'Lost fire'

I would really like to read a fic, where Red Son died as a child, because of the samadhi fire.

Ok, before you go listen-

Red Son died as a child because of the enourmous power of his samadhi fire. Everyone just didn't complete the ritual on time, and during one of his fire outbursts he hurt himself fatally.

The power was just too strong for such a young demon and it finished him.

His parents his parents had to cope up with their child's death and were devastated by it.

Later, they decided they would never have children again to prevent such a situation like Red Son from happening again.

BUT-

We know that Lady Bone Demon is able to revive people and demons to life. For instance Macaque.

And she needs samadhi fire to make her great plan come true.

She'd bring Red Son back to life, but unfortunately the power in hands of the little demon is still unstable for his age.

So, Lady Bone Demon would instruct her servant to partially seal the demon powers until he grows up, and his body could handle the power under control.

The demon would be sealed and hidden (somwhere) from the rest of the world to prevent anyone from interfering with her plans.

All of this was supposed to last until he reached the right age, then she planned to use him as a weapon.

But as it is known the child can't rise himself, right?

That's where Macaque comes.

As the LBD revived also Macaque. She decided to use him as some sort of babysitter for the Red Boy, instead of giving the key.

Because who elese she could choose to take care of that little demon? Major??

[Let's be honest we all know that nobody should leave kids with that guy- Just look at this freak-]

Anyway-

After comming back to life Macaque's job is to take care of the little demon child.

He is isolated from the rest of society along with a small demon and under the control of the major.

The monkey doesn't have much of a choice or even any chances of leaving, since major here is strong and both him and LBD are watching over him.

LBD promises to free him after Macaque will raise the bull demon and will be ready to fullfill his 'mission'.

The shadow monkey and demon-child are practycally 'prisioners' and since noone would look for people who are supposed to be dead, Macaque looses his hope of escaping.

Every attempt to escape results in a severe punishment.

So the warrior finds himself in his new role, as a guardian.

At first, the demon is not pleased with his situation in any way, and the though of taking care of the red demon downright annoys him.

But over time, he gets used to it and tolerates the little child, until eventually his heart softens and he begins to raise him as his own.

The monkie does the best what he can do.

Beside obvious diuties, like watching over him and using the ice powers (which LBD gave him for such occasions) to extinguish his sudden uncontrollable bursts of samadhi fire..

Macaque also teaches him.. how to speak, read, control and peace, plays with him or organizes a shadow puppet show for him and ect.

He also gets close to the kid and becomes his parent fugire.

The Red Boy grows up. He's energetic full of life and curious kid, who wants to see more of the word. To finally find out who he is. He wants to see people and everything. (No suprise since he was isolated from society)

But the Bull demon it also curious about his past and family. He knows that the monkie isn't his relative and he knows that he used to have parents.

The Red possesses some memories as if through a haze. They are small details that motivate him.

With each passing day Red Son gets more control ower his samadhi fire, which start to worry the black monkie.

Macaque figured LBD's plan long ago and he knows that as soon as Red will finally fully control his powers, it will not only mean death for the demon, but also for the rest of the world.

It worries him.

He doesn't want to loose Red kid.

He doesn't want world to end.

He's devastated.

But then suddenly he finds himself in a situation where the major has to leave (because DBK discovered the box in which LBD was imprisoned, and he has to ensure that she is freed).

(Btw in this universe, DBK was released from above in a different way. MK accidentally freed him by moving the staff of Sun Wukong.)

Macaque immediately takes the opportunity when the major is gone go free Red Son...like..

----

"Hey Red." The black monkey suddenly started, while not taking his eyes form the sea. "Remember when you told me, yo wanted to get off of this island?"

The fire demon immediately looked at the Macaque with excitement, but mostly with confusion.

Since he had know Mr Macaque telling him how his attempts to escape were futile or that he should let it go.

But the demon never truly stopped hopping that they both would someday go and he could finally see more.

"Well, today's the day." The older demon said and the fire demon almost couldn't belive his ears.

Before Red could even ask the monkie rapidly went to him and started using his magic on him and to exact it was glamour.

"Red, you need listen to me carefully, because there's no other chance-" Mr Macaque started, as he concealed the scar on his cheek. "I don't know when the other will come back. But this is really important, so remmber-"

"But you're comming with me-" The younger demon didn't ask, because it was a fact.

Macaque had to go with him. He couldn't stay here, right?

"You can't trust anybody and don't tell them anything." Instead of answering the man continued his speach. "Try to use your fire as little as possible and at all cost do not use samadhi fire. Nobody can put it down and it's very dangerous." The monkie then changed the colour of his hair from red to black. "I'll try to I maintain the camouflage for as long as I can, but if it disappears, you must cover your hair and not let yourself be recognized."

"But, Mr Macaque-"

"Red." The demon interrupted seriously. "It's very imortant."

At his words Red went silent.

"You need to find Sun Wukong, the Monkie King." The black monkie said seriously. "Tell him that Lady Bone Demon is back. That she's after you and the can't get to you and.." The demon paused for a second. "And then surely everything will be alright.." Then the black monkie smiled softly at him.

Red knew that something was wrong and he was trying to cheer him up.

"If you see the Watcher run as fast as possible.." He put a cap on his head." If he catches you, you have to free yourself at all costs, you can even use samadhi fire."

Suddenly a portal opened behind him.

"Remember find Sun Wukong." The the demon pushed Red to the portal despite his protest.

The fire demon was only able to see a light smile of his paret figure face as the portal slowly closed.

----

Basicly Macaque doesn't have much of a choice, but letting Red go. The monkie can't escape the island, because of the deal with the LBD. He's sealed in there.

Macaque also doesn't trust Wukong, but he doesn't see any better option. The shadow demon knows that the monkie king is one of the strongest and could possibly defeat her or just buy some time.

So in that way Red finds himself in complete difftent place.

Dazed, lost, scared, and bewildered in the Megapolis.

He completely doesn't know how behave it that weird place, where he is alone and see things that he hadn't seen before.

He's also scared about Macaque.

So he tries to find This Sun Wukong-

He starts asks random people about him, but ineffectively. People on the street ignore him and consider him a bit of an oddball.

In the meantime he accidentally runs into MK and they end up somehow together.

They talk a little and MK shows him around a little. Red is obviouly fascinated even by the simplest thing, which makes Mk think he's kinda cute.

Then have meal at Pigsy noodles. (There Red Son eat the best meal ever-)

Their talk suddenly goes towards the monkie king and here's the part where everything becomes the mess.

- Major stars chasing after them

- Everyone are looking for Sun Wukong

- Red doesn't know what he can tell and not-

- Wukongs finds out that Macaque is alive-

- Troubles, problems, and action.

- They have a dinner at Demon Bull Family house!!! But neither Red Son knows that that's his parents and They don't know that that's their son becuase of the disguise!!!!

- fighting Macaque! LBD took control over him

- LBD still tries to catch Red.. and she kinda is able to..

- Red is finally reviled to be the 'death' Red Son-

- ...In the end we finally get family reunion..! ;)

[Yes, here I was too lazy to write ⬆️]

OK.

I've written a bit, but hopefully someone will like this idea. I guess..

Honestly I mainly want to see pain of the greaving parents and family reunion, which would be full of love...

I HOPE SOMEONE LIKES THIS!

What do you think? Please tell me.

[noose-lion]

Cooking up a Lmk au where Macaque has been teamed up with Azure since before his death due to a subconscious need for someone to tie himself too and after the events of season three Azure has Macaque go into the scroll to retrieve Peng and Yellow-Tusk. While in the scroll, Macaque meets the Ink-Curse and they somehow mesh into a singular being allowing Macaque to basically control the scroll like it's a single realm of sorts and he creates a world where he can be happy.

Azure then somehow tricks Mk and Mei into going unto the scroll with him (to gets his brothers back). While in the scroll, Ink-Macaque is trying to destroy them by sending various threats to them but Macaques subconscious sends different versions of Macaque throughout his lifetime to sorta act as guides. (All the while Azure is playing the good guy but is manipulative as hell but slowly sees the error of the plan and how he's been harmful to those he wishes to help).

I think this au would be told best in animatic format so wish me luck.

[lucagray813]

Co-Exist AU

I am sick with a cold at the moment so here's a little idea that came to me while I was lying miserable unable to do much but maladaptive daydream.

The core premise of this AU is that Macaque wasn't killed and that after his fight with Wukong during the journey he retreated back to the island. Badly hurt and very traumatised, he hides away in a remote part of the island afraid of what the Monkey King will do to him if he comes back and finds him in his palace.

Once Wukong comes back after finishing the Journey, he tries more than once to reconcile with Mac but Mac always runs away before he can even get close and the one time he does manage to corner him the sheer terror Mac looks at him with is enough to have him backing off.

Eventually Wukong stops trying and the two coexist on the island - avoiding and ignoring each other. Made easier by the fact that Mac more or less becomes nocturnal.

Hundreds of years pass, and finally MK enters the picture and his introduction to Mac happens similarly to how it does in canon.

After a frustrating day destroying murals, he's trudging away from the mountain and towards the beach so he can go home when a handful of monkeys intercept him and seem to insist he follow them, and despite complaining this better not be another giant termite nest or some other fine dining opportunity, he begrudgingly follows them.

Heading towards a part of the island Wukong told him to stay clear of due to feral monkeys he starts to feel increasingly unsettled as if someone's watching him, and he thinks he glances a figure in the branches more than once but there's nothing there when he looks again.

He let's out a scream and instinctively pulls out his staff when someone suddenly appears in front of him but they're gone again by the time he gets his bearings. The monkeys that have been leading him screech at him and eventually he gets the hint that they want him to put his staff away - which he does very reluctantly.

Almost immediately Mac reappears and this time MK manages to resist pulling out the staff and instead starts to question who he is and why the heck is he naked? Mac obligingly uses the shadows to summon some plain black clothes to cover himself, watching curiously as MK gets a little hysterical in his bewilderment.

Eventually, MK stops to breathe and is somewhat convinced this isn't some evil clone of Monkey King when he sees how calm the monkeys are, some of them even sitting at Mac's feet or on his shoulder.

Whether through physical or emotional trauma, or both, Mac can't speak and he communicates purely with shadows. Ignoring MK's questions about who he is, he manipulates the shadows on the ground in front of MK's feet to show him his "training" session with Wukong and then several monkeys playing telephone to eventually whisper in Mac's ear, telling him about it.

Through some unflattering imagery, MK gets the idea that this stranger thinks Wukong is a bad teacher and is offering to teach him instead - and that if he's interested he should meet him in the "haunted" forest that he's been told to stay clear of.

Mac disappears and MK hesitates, asking the monkeys what they think, even if he can't actually understand their chirping he gets the vibe they're telling him to go for it and inevitably he decides it's at least worth checking out. If only so he can report back to Wukong about this stranger on his island.

What follows is a very boring and practical lesson on proper form.

(Mac being very out of practice with the concept of personal space is a bit handsy in how he corrects MK.)

MK complains about how underwhelming the lesson is before Mac invites him to try and fight him and easily trounces him and gives him a shadow play lecture about foundations and building blocks and sends him on his way and "telling" him he can come back next time if he wants to keep training.

This goes on for a while, and while MK struggles with the slower pace - at least he's actually learning something, even if it's not the hero stuff he really wants. Mac does eventually help him with his powers to a certain degree after a small mishap, but it is more or less limited to learning how to control his physical strength.

He also teaches MK to fight using a staff - not the staff because Mac immediately flees if MK even looks like he's about to pull it out but with a normal wooden staff.

One day MK is complaining about Wukong's training and questioning what he's done wrong that he's been relegated to clean up duty and, to MK's disbelief, Mac explains that it's because Wukong doesn't know how to teach. Although upon reflection MK wonders if Mac might be onto something, especially when Mac adds that Wukong never really been a student himself - learning almost everything easily and with little guidance needed.

Out loud, he wonders if he should talk to Wukong about all of this and is taken aback when Mac looks so panicked by the idea - shadows showing Wukong flying into a terrible rage at MK questioning him. He does his best to reassure Mac, and himself, that wouldn't happen but nothing seems to ease Mac's distress.

Despite this, MK talks to Wukong but decides not to mention Mac. The next time Wukong tries to get him to do some busy work he puts his foot down and asks for Wukong to train him properly. Dismissive and a little offended, Wukong tells him that he is training him "properly" - there are important lessons tucked away in these seemingly pointless tasks.

Annoyed MK asks him what the important lessons are because he's taken up some martial arts lessons on the side and- Immensely offended, Wukong starts questioning him about who's teaching him and what sort of credentials they have that they think they could possibly be a match for the Monkey King!

MK reveals that well, he doesn't actually know his other mentor's name and from there is more or less forced to confess with a "OK, don't be mad but I've sort of been training with that other monkey that lives on the island? You know the one that looks like you?"

Stunned, "You've been training with Macaque…?"

He listens as MK explains everything and when questioned if he's angry or not, he replies he's not, just… confused. MK is equally confused when Wukong starts asking after Mac's welfare - genuinely wanting to know how the other is doing.

Wukong starts to wonder out loud if he should pay him a visit and MK quickly tells him that's not a good idea - reluctantly explaining that Mac seemed sort of… afraid of him?

Wukong is very put out by this but ultimately reassures MK that he won't approach Mac and that MK is free to keep learning from him as long as he keeps him in the loop. The rest of the training session is spent with MK showing him what Mac has taught him.

(MK at some point does ask who Macaque is and he gets a sort of "He's my… He was my… It's complicated, bud. But this is as much his home as it is mine.")

Once MK leaves for the day, Wukong summons some monkeys he knows spend a lot of time with Mac and gets them to tell him what's going on, after complaining at them for not telling him this was going on in the first place.

(Most of the monkeys are friendly with both Mac and Wukong but there are some that are very loyal to one over the other, with some of Mac's loyal followers being outright hostile towards Wukong and generally staying far away from him. The group Wukong talks to are not the hostile kind.)

They explain that when news reached Mac that Wukong was being a bad teacher, he decided he needed to step in. But while he is very offended that the monkeys thought he was doing a bad job AND were talking shit about him to Mac, he does do some serious reflecting and decides he needs to get his act together and be a better mentor.

He's tempted to seek out Mac but some very insistent monkeys make him think better of it.

MK for his part leaves to find Mac and tell him the talk went well but he can't find him. After several failed attempts, he asks Wukong, who asks the monkeys, who tell them that he doesn't need to train MK anymore now that Wukong has got his act together.

Disappointing both MK and Wukong.

That's all I've got so far but Mac definitely appears again during the events of Season 2 when Wukong leaves for "vacation".

I might come back and add more to this later once I've thought about it. But in the meantime if anything here piques your interest then feel free to use it!
