Casual day

[lycorisketch]

Practicing with a new brush. Drawing my second favorite version of my favorite shadow monkey ^-^ (Possessed Shadow Lord Macaque AU BY @rebeltigera )

(I also messed around and tried to learn Rebel's artstyle. Very fun to color and definitely a different type of sketch lining than I usually do)

Wukong's heat

Because I know at least half of u want to see that skaksksm

To explain - Wukong didn't get his rut through centuries so now he gotta suffer for it to work properly again

He stinks of rotten peaches and everything hurts so he only finds solace in his hubbie's embrace.

You think it's easy? You think I don't wanna run to you?

okey, you give us wip about (I believe) macaque chirping, what’s that about???

This whole thing is about Wukong discovering that Mac has cubs. Like you can imagine, it was a shock to the poor monkey king, so he went and very animatedly asked Mac what that was about. Mac being a stubborn guy wouldn't want to tell him much about them. Wukong got rightfully irritated, because Mac doesn't tell him much ... Like.... Overall. He's supposed to protect this place while Mac can't and Mac isn't particularly helping with it. So in a very Wukong like style , he'd push more for answers, cornering Mac, getting too close for comfort.

So he'd make that horrible, scared chirp

This is the moment where the facade of the powerful shadowlord crumbles.

This is the moment where Mac for the first time feels terror after so many years . Because this is what he sees

He doesn't see a man that went through the journey to be better. He doesn't see compassion or worry in his eyes. He doesn't trust Wukong to protect anything, not his cubs ,not him ,not his people, not his island. He doesn't trust him to do any of those things.

All he knows about Wukong is that he's a killer of demons. He was known for it back in the day, he is known for it now. Wukong might not do it anymore but the fear lingers.

He does not see a mate that would not raise a hand on him .

He sees the monkey king , the pilgrim , the one that almost killed him. A threat.

In normal circumstances the thought would be pushed back . In normal circumstances Mac would have his powers , he could run , he could fight, he could do anything. But without them?

He's just a sick vulnerable mortal .

Even he is shocked by the fact how much he's scared of Wukong.

Mac of course tries to regain the upper hand in this situation, but the damage is already done.

And Like a punch in the gut Wukong realizes just how much he's feared by the one that shouldn't be scared of him in the first place
