one thing i have found so funny since the beginning of my LMK phase is the fact how some people use the name Six Eared Macaque and Liu'er Mihou.
I have seen it in fics and artworks. Now imagine a scene, and it'll usually go like this:
It'll be a fight between Macaque and Wukong because of course. Smthn smthn happens and Wukong will go
"Macaque— No, Mihou wait...!" and then Macaque's like. "Stop. You don't get to call me by that name anymore..." and its like. That's literally his name but just in Chinese. It's literally just Chinese.
So basicially
It's used as if Liu'er Mihou is his real name, and Macaque is his fake name. It is usually used for shock factor for Wukong and Macaque's relationship. I wonder if this is still done a lot?
#truly who spread that thing idk#like when i first got into the fandom i thought it was a completly different name#but nope its literally his name but in chinese#nowadays whenever i see this happen somewhere it makes me laugh and take it out of the immersion#for those whose main language isnt english#i suggest you try it with your own language and see how funny that sounds#lego monkie kid#monkie kid#lmk#lmk sun wukong#lmk six eared macaque#tea rambles
