I don't know what Lizzie's boundaries are on shipping but if she didn't mind it then these two have definitely kissed before

If rin rin hadn't died and her and wukong stayed married, would macaque leave ffm as soon as he realized he was starting to have feelings for his married friend? Or maybe rinrin would matchmake shadowpeach for a V shaped poly situation (or not V shaped, cause rin rin and macaque would be a interesting pairing, I see potential there)

Oh, I like this ask. This scenario has a potential I’ve never considered.

(More below)

Macaque and Wukong met during one of the Monkey King’s adventures outside of FFM so poor guy would be hopelessly smitten with Wukong by the time he followed him back to FFM. That would be when he realized that his friend and crush (though he didn’t know it yet) was married.

RinRin is kind and wonderful and so many things that Macaque wasn’t. She was a beautiful flower blossoming under the sunlight. She was completely perfect for Wukong in every way. When Macaque realized his feelings for Wukong, he wished that he could hate her, but he couldn’t. She was so welcoming to Macaque and so kind and so generous and - wait, why was she pushing him into a closet with Wukong?! What does she mean she wouldn’t unlock the door until they finally kiss and confess their feelings like adults??? What is happening?!?!?!

Back to RinRin’s side of things, she took one look at her husband and the newcomer and instantly knew that they were in love. Was she upset about this? Well, she was a little hurt for about five minutes before Macaque opened his mouth and hello. With a voice that can melt butter and competent? She could see what drew her husband in.

If her husband’s adventuring resulted with him bringing back a yaoguai like Macaque, RinRin could start seeing the appeal of it.

And then seeing the Shadowpeach chemistry? She’s shipping it. She’s on board.

Now remember: this is a RinRin who survived the Demon King of Confusion and his court. Not only that but played them like a fiddle. So once she decided that she and her husband must keep Macaque, she pulls all stops on making him stay.

RinRin all but woos Macaque and showers him with all the positive attention and gifts she could give without being too pushy. She makes sure that the rest of FFM is aware that he is a monkey who she and her husband is interested in so they should make him feel welcome. She takes the effort to get to know him better and befriending him.

RinRin throws Wukong at him too. She pretties him up and encourages him to take Macaque out for fun activities catered to Macaque’s favorite things. She literally makes her husband into a honeypot to entice Macaque to stay.

Unfortunately, Wukong is dense and somehow manages to constantly friendzone Macaque despite RinRin’s efforts. She’s practically spoonfeeding these morons and they’re spitting her hard work out.

RinRin (holds Wukong’s face gently): You are so, so pretty. And yet so, so stupid. Like a peacock. A pretty and stupid peacock. Why are you like this?

Wukong (head empty): Mrrp?

RinRin escalates to locking the two together in rooms but that doesn’t work. In the end, she practically has to stay in the room with them and spell out that they’re in love with each other. She point blank asks Macaque to be their consort, cutting what might’ve been centuries of unnecessary pining.

And so, the King, the Queen, and their Warrior live happily ever after.

You know just this scenario I don't blame wukong for his proctective obliviousness. Unless rinrin says outloud,maybe with a powerpoint, that she is fine with opening up their relationship (not hinting or being subtle, being obvious), wukong would see anything romantic with mac as cheating on his wife

The problem was, RinRin DID not-so-subtly imply that she's fine if Wukong brought in anyone else into their marriage as long as they got along with RinRin and meant well for the rest of FFM - something Macaque checked off on both counts. Wukong understood that. He even assured her that he wouldn't mind the same since he feels so bad about leaving her behind every time he goes off adventuring.

It's the fact that he's so obtuse towards his feelings for Macaque that's driving RinRin up the walls. I did say that she's spoonfeeding them and they're spitting it all out.

Isn't Mei a very popular streamer? Imagine if wukong came back and like 1/3 of the city knows about the wrecking pile that is his lovelife

Wukong’s entire love life is trending and this guy is fighting for his life trying to find a way to combat LBD. Poor monkey man can’t catch a break.

Would it hurt macaque to see Rinrin making heart eyes at shanzha the person wukong killed him for? I would think macaque has bitter feelings towards her.

Macaque’s feelings towards Shanzha is…complicated. He’s had enough time to understand that she wasn’t the problem - Wukong was. Still, Wukong chose her over him and that stings.

The thing is, RinRin’s instant infatuation with Shanzha would’ve been a great betrayal to Macaque if it weren’t for the timing of it. RinRin doesn’t properly meet Shanzha until after the LBD debacle. By then, Macaque has discovered Yue’s existence and her familial connection with him and Shanzha’s position. She had no choice.

Shanzha and Macaque’s reunion was more pleasant than he had expected and she even cheekily teased him that the only reason he got so close to killing her was because she was too stunned by his good looks. (This was after he witnessed her nuking the Mayor with a single arrow.)

So yeah, once RinRin went all heart-eyed and giggly at Shanzha, Macaque wasn’t upset. Instead, he thought it would be a genius idea to just steal Shanzha from Wukong. Wouldn’t that be the perfect revenge? Wouldn’t that just make Wukong go insane?

Meanwhile, Wukong: hot

MK: Monkey King, you’re doing it again…
