oh no Tripitaka's dead/ engaged/ eaten/ kidnapped!
I should be writing the Fluffy Epilogue but it is fighting me, so instead I'm doodling scenes from "Montage" in the FFIM
(aka, that time Tripitaka got to be cool for a whole two seconds before face-planting and crying on his disciple.)
There's our nerdy monk!

I think crybaby tang sanzang is amazing

reasons your all-powerful monkey disciple might be hovering/ seeking proximity
someone did something they shouldn't have (it was him)
someone did someone they shouldn't have (it was Bajie)
general possessiveness
requires attention/ praise/ effusive gratitude for his amazing feats on your behalf
you are aBoUT to Be KIDNAPPED
he does not actually know what "personal space" means but it sounds fun and he'd like some of yours if you have it
seriously a hideous man-eating demon is swooping down out of the sky with designs on your liver
separation anxiety
The single most useful edit you can do before you send anything to anyone: Read it out loud. The whole thing. Every sentence. You will hear every place the rhythm breaks, every word that doesn't belong, every line of dialogue that no human being would actually say. Your eye skips over problems because it already knows what you meant to write. Your ear doesn't lie. It catches everything. It is embarrassing how much a single read-aloud will fix. Do it alone. Do it in a weird voice if it helps. just do it.
tripitaka’s mother saving his life by sailing him down a river, tripitaka’s baby name being “river flow”, tripitaka losing his mortal body in a river when he gets to spirit mountain
Buddha of Sandalwood Merrit called that Not because of his strife or his cleansing energy, but because he is known on occasion to climb a sandalwood tree and, as he would in his life as the Golden Cicada, scream at the top of his lungs

I could say 'Monkey stop rushing ahead like that if you don't want trouble' but that foreshadowing would be way too on the nose.
Speaking of, reading this entire chapter again is an exercise in me wincing and laughing in equal measure. Like, this is all kinds of hilarious but it really is showing off how arrogant and blind to consequences Wukongs gotten! All that trouble for a title! It also shows that heaven really can't handle him at all! They can't beat him into submission and appeasing his ego by just giving him an empty title is not going to make that ego go down. Now he's just going to be worse the next time it gets a twinge!
Which should be approximately...next chapter. Get ready to duck n cover!

Ohh, Wukong and Bajie would hate how often they’re on the same tier together 😂
If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
i'm way to tired to color this

Geez bro chill he's yours

Posting this in case it helps some artists, idk, but I do see a lot of people draw Sanzang's cassock incorrectly (me and my older drawings included (╥_╥)) and I thought I'd share a really helpful resource that I use to draw it correctly. It also goes over how to walk when wearing one :D

I know there isn't an answer to be found in all of the text, but the fact that the stone palace is completely empty but clearly shows signs of life. With stoves that still shows traces of fire and food still in the plates, half eaten, I can only wonder who TF lived here before Monkey got in, and why they left the place like this.
