MKing update!!
He's normal, nice MK when he's in his human form, but something's... wrong with his monkey form.
OH YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT MONKIE QUEEN RED?
Meet the Monkie King! Man, I wonder what happened to his eyes.
Working on a Monkie Queen Red fic, and
guys, i'munna need you to back out now if you aren't comfortable with some GRAPHIC shit.
Monkie Queen Red is FUCKED because it's an AU that I put all of my dark thoughts and anxiety and trauma shit into to get it out of my head, so be careful.
Life Is Good Wukong!!
Here's his design!! Lil baby has no thoughts in his lil head. You'll notice he's covered in these lil silver balls!! These have 2 reasons:
1 A few of them are bells!! So LBD always knows where he is. Can't lose her little Peach Muffin <3
They represent his headdress!
It's mocking him!! One of the most important parts of his image, his phoenix feathers, is stripped from him, and he's covered in reminders of it.
and he doesn't even realize.
A small description of the start of my Stolen Son AU!! Inspoed by @purble-turble's Demon King Red! The Stolen Son AU has Wukong decide MK is ready to be the new Monkey King! But... the limitless power... messes him up.
Wukong was an idiot for thinking this kid was ready to be the new king, but... he had so much hope. DBK heard about how MK has become the new Monkey King and was sent into a rage. He got his family together to make a battle plan, and they showed up decked out in all their gear and cars, ready to cause some ruckus. But this time, the fight doesn't seem as... casual? They don't know how to explain it other than MK lost his shit on them. Without his powers being limited or anyone around to tell him to stop, he just beat the fuck out of them, seemingly intent on killing them.
And he's reveling in it good ol' pre-Journey Wùkōng style, laughing the whole fight and swinging the staff with joy. It doesn't take him long to beat DBK and his wife down to their knees, to have their lives in his hands- he finds it so funny for some reason! He's in the middle of a victorious cackle when his eyes catch brilliant red ducking behind some of the rubble of the destructive fight. He stifles his giggles and activates his golden sight, and oh, what greets him is wonderful. The ever prideful Red Son, shaking like a leaf as he looks at his crushed parents, the scent of his fear high in the air. MK's known he's had a crush on one particular fire demon... and seeing Red Son, terrified for his life- It causes the newly awakened powers in MK to roar like an inferno, telling him to claim what's his. He's the Monkie King, damnit! He can have WHATEVER he wants! He turns back to the beat-up DBK and his wife, and raises the staff, "I have an offer." DBK looks up from where he's sheltering his beaten love, "What?" "Give this to me, and I'll let your family go." "Oh- Anything- Please, my wife-" "Anything?" MK smirks. "Anything! Our riches-our titles- just don't-" "I want your son." The world goes silent aside from the raging fires around them. Red Son, who is terrified out of his mind, scrambles to escape at first. Clearly, Mother and Father wouldn't give him to this beast that was once the Monkie Kid! Surely they'd just go home after this- mourn another defeat and- He doesn't get far until Xiǎotiān is using his speed to scoop him up. Red Son is struggling against him, looking over to his parents- Help him! Save him- Why aren't his mother and father saving him?! DBK struggles to sit up, covering his wife with a strong hand, "You can't have our boy!" "Well, why not?" MK rolls his eyes, "Are you going to come get him? Do you want to try that? Look at yourself, DBK. I'm not going to let you torment this city any longer, sure, but I could let you survive. Do you want to survive?" "He's- He's just a boy-" DBK coughs, reaching his large hand out to grab Red Son. MK knocks DBK's hand back with the staff using more force than necessary, "No. He's mine." And then MK is walking away. Away from Mother and Father, away from safety- He pays no attention to Red Son's struggles, to his SCREAMS- ... Red Son finds himself frozen on his way back to wherever MK is taking him. He can't even focus, all he can think about is how MK is squeezing him too tight and he can't breathe and they just let him get stolen. When they get there, he's thrown onto... the Noodle Boy's bed? Was- Was this really happening? Had he been kidnapped and taken to this DIRTY HOVEL of an apartment?! He decides to not dwell on that, starting to try and run the second there aren't strong arms squeezing him like a toy. MK panics, "Woah!" He grabs Red Son's ankle before he can fully leave the bed, causing the demon's face to smack into the floor. MK scoops him up and looks at his face, frowning at his now busted lip, "Now look what you've done." "What I've done-?! Noodle boy, I dema-" Slap. "Loud." MK groans to himself, "We're gonna have to fix that." "F-fix that?" Red Son shrinks in on himself and looks up at MK, eyes full of fear. Now that he knew MK was fully willing to hurt him, this was even more terrifying- MK licked his lips, "Well, yeah. You're not exactly... Monkie Queen material yet, y'know." "Q-queen?" "You really like repeating what I say." MK chuckles, shuffling Red Son in his lap. He hugs Red, humming happily, "Anyway, yeah! You're my queen now. When I became the Monkey King, I realized it was... lonely, waiting for the monkeys to finish rebuilding the old Monkey King's estate. And so I thought about you. I like how you are now, but you're going to scare them with how loud you are... So, we've got to fix you." Red Son felt his heart drop. This was real.
Do tell what happened to his 👁 ?
[OUTDATED]
Wukong did.
More specifically, Wukong's magic did. MKing can't really tell you what happened, aha... he just... woke up one day after Wukong gave him his magic and something... something was wrong.
Something was wrong and the only thing that could ever cure it was hurting something.
Monkie Queen- Did Red Son actually have any affection for MK before being captured?
[OUTDATED]
No, but he wishes he did. He wants to love MK more than he wants to breathe. He loves thinking about about how wonderful everything would be if he could just love his husband. He seems to think that it'll make everything go away...
What a world it would make!
A world where the cuffs around his wrists are pretty bracelets. Where the earrings aren't enchanted to keep him from fighting, but pretty jewelry his husband gave him that brings out his eyes. Where he loves to cuddle MK. Where his giggles are real.
Where the arms around him mean safety.
...If he can't have a choice to be here is it so bad to want to pretend he chose to be? He only ever gets this wonderful world in the dark of their bedroom before they go to sleep anyway...
When he hugs his husband and says, softly, "I love you."
"I love you more." His fantasy is broken.
He lets out a shaky exhale, "I know."
MK loves Red Son with his whole heart and Red Son is... going to let himself fall at some point. It's going to be a conscious thing. He's going to give up, and force love onto himself. Can one talk themselves into Stockholm syndrome? He's gonna try.
