im bored and cotl is getting a new dlc next year so it's time to plug in my hard-worked fic. hiiiiiii everypony did you know i have a brotherhood-era QPR shadowpeach fic which is inspired by Cult of the Lamb so instead of being freed by tripitaka, macaque goes for an organic approach and breaks wukong's seals by taking down their old sworn brothers? Tune in for the next chapter of the most doomed fratboy group ever here!
MY COMMISSIONED ART FOR Meanwhile the World Goes On IS HERE! feast your eyeballs upon this 👆 masterpiece by the wonderful Westywuzhere on twitter. closeups and additional info (chapter 6 spoilers) under the cut 👇
There is a burial practice in china and northern vietnam called cải táng/bốc mộ, where the grave of a loved one who was buried far from home because of circumstances will be exhumed after 3-7 years, when the body has finished decomposing and only the bones remain. A family member/partner will be the one who digs out the grave and opens the wooden casket, picking up the bones by hand and cleaning them, before placing them neatly in an urn to be buried in the family graveyard. It is the final act of respect in the burial process, reuniting the loved one with their family and praying for their blessing/divine protection to the living.

anyway this could be shadowpeach, if you fw me
The Macaque description at Shanghai LEGOLand... downbad loser!!!! /j also look at his teeny wukong plush 😭😭😭
In honor of chapter 8 of my cotl shadowpeach fic updating, heres a screenshot of my cult's monkeys in love :)
Bonus:
Tacking on my hc that the events in lmk's version of the jttw book may have happened in a slightly different order, isn't it weird how so many of wukong's old enemies are alive? We all know macaque died at some point in the journey but that should've also been the case for spider queen! And scorpion queen, and the hundred eyed demon, for god's sake even lbd and the camel ridge trio! Yet all of them are still living fine til the present day or suffer (almost eternal) imprisonment. Do you know how crazy it is that mac's death is the only death referenced in lmk?
In jttw the mac chapters are before all of the villains i mentioned (except scorpion queen which is directly before them hence my hc). Could it be that after witnessing mac's death wukong swore off ever killing his enemies again? the guilt of not being able to save mac would have eaten him alive.
Now this: if wukong had had a direct hand in mac's death (either forced to kill him to stop his magic going haywire or accidentally dealt a blow too hard), can you imagine the complex mac has risen out of his grave with? That after him, no one else was killed under the Great Sage's cudgel? That he was the final period at the end of wukong's list of casualty? That his role in the entirety of their friendship was to be a lesson?
it's SO funny that macaque's character introduction in the lego store is roughly translated as "he is strong in martial arts, ruthless, unprincipled, and will work for different masters for the sake of profit". and the picture is him smugly and incorrectly making a duck shadow on the wall (he has lego hands)
I made myself a s3 macaca! Based on the design of the monkey king craft box thingy, i bought like, 5 other boxes of other designs and frankenstein'd my own macaque! Took me three days and a whole lotta months before that to search for the right colours of the pieces, the end result is not the best but im pretty satisfied still
Gave mac a white eye just because, but you bet i tried my hardest with the clothes 😤
