Welcome to the Q&A! A space where I can answer related or similar question about the Shadowpeach Bio Parents AU! If you submitted your ask anonimously, then you’ll have to check the whole post if it’s answered here, if it’s not, worry not! Your asks might have been used for a future comic or just in the queue~
@miauintao ha chiesto:
Is there a reason Macaque and Wukong seems to keep neglecting to teach Mk about "demon etiquette"? (using Redson phrasing)
Especially since he's a prince now and everything, are we going to see them teaching him about all of this stuff he should know now about demons?
Sorry if my English is bad
They did tell him the basics with the whole "talk" when he discovered his crush. Red Son was talking about etiquette as a celestial royal, which is something PIF taught him since he was a child.
@roseltelle ha chiesto:
Do you think pigsy leaves mk the restaurant? If he does I imagine he would still want to keep it open. Probably hiring new people. I say because if he chooses to still do deliveries occasionally if a customer asks for the owner he finally gets to say I am the owner.
Uhhhh who knows? Shadowpeach are the only one who learned the recipe. I would guess maybe Chang'e would maybe keep Pigsy's recipe as secret
@filiothings ha chiesto:
What’s Bai He doing with Macaque and the stars thing?
just practicing with small metal pieces to create simple shapes.
@plushroseart ha chiesto:
Hey I love your Au and art I was wondering if i could write about your au with my own twist to it would that be okay as long as I give credit? Just asking :)
With credit and tagging yes
@autism-autobot ha chiesto:
If Red Son didn't know MK was trans, he's gonna find out soon, isn't he?👀
I bet he told him already haha.
@roseltelle ha chiesto:
I think I'm is so funny that Macaque and wukong are opposites socially from what you would expect you would expect the sun guy to be the extrovert and the moon guy to be the introvert. But no Wukong just wants to hang out with the people he already knows and no one else. While macaque is out here acting, running a dojo, ext.
hehe trueee
@bonbonfoxyton ha chiesto:
Do you think that DBK knows what happened between Wukong and macaque's courtnaping to tell red son that Mk probably has the same weakness as Wukong to use against Mk to courtnap him? I feel like DBK would be that petty to win against Wukong for who courtnaps who between their sons
No, only Macaque know Wukong secret weakness
@deadhope34 ha chiesto:
Can Mei, Tang, Pigsy and Sandy not just eat a immortality peach? Li Xing said he and the heaven would give help to MK with his now title prince of heaven. And keeping him happy with keeping his family together would be in heavens best interest one eould asume.
of course they can, but that doesn't mean they want to.
@steadylandface ha chiesto:
What if Guanyin raised Mk?
My friend told me she would try to disguise him as a pet to the other celestial lol. He would be a little menage who would bite every ankle in heaven and Guanyin just smiles and goes "aww look at him!!"
@angelikis1 ha chiesto:
HI! 👋 i just wanted to ask if you have any tip for beginner comic makers (don't know if i said that right 😅)
@ellster7 ha chiesto:
Hi, I'm a big fan of the shadowpeach Bio parent AU and was wondering if you had any tips or advice on how to start a project like it,as I'm struggling to start one.
have time
have a schedule
know the ending
just do a little bit more than the bare minimun to not burn out/ find ways to make the process faster
@magician-kitty ha chiesto:
Hi! Once again, I love your art. And Ive been meaning to say this…
I was a bit surprised when I saw that you included Chang’e during Mk’s trial. I always thought she couldn’t leave the moon.
Just for the sake of giving my wife more screen time let's make it they allowed her to be present
@shentheauthor ha chiesto:
I think it’s interesting that macaque’s fancy hanfu is folded right over left. That’s only ever done on corpses. Is my guy being emo? Because that’s hilarious
because my dude died and came back to life
@aguadechia14 ha chiesto:
Ok before all this I just have one question, what was mk’s reaction to the shadowpeach relationship? Jsjsjsjs
I think the way he discovered was, finally, THIS scenario
@autism-autobot ha chiesto:
Who's the announcer in the last chapter?
Technically should be one of the celestials. In my mind he's Chi Fu from Mulan
@healingwordswriter ha chiesto:
Hiiii so first congratulations on almost finishing your comic. I feel I can say for many people that this comic has meant a lot to many of us in the fandom and it has been really a journey that I’m happy we did alongside you 💜
Now onto my questions, now that Xiaotian is the Prince of Heaven, that means someday he will become the Emperor? And if he did become the emperor how he would rule over heaven? His loved ones like his parents (the 4 of them) and Red Son now have a title for being a direct link to the prince?
Thanks for everything, for your story your creativity everything. I can’t wait to see what else you will bring us in the future ✨
I'm 98% sure that he could even be able to hold the Emperor's power, but he ain't the guy to become an emperor. Being a prince is already a little too much for him.
@alastair-1205 ha chiesto:
Posting the final chapter on the Ides of March is perfect because seeing this series end will be as devastating as getting stabbed to death by my supposed political allies :"D /pos
Prepare the knifes everyone the coronation was a group-stabbing event to kill Li Jing
@awwwskib ha chiesto:
I am so happy yet so sad this fic is coming to an end :(
do you have any plans on what your gonna do next? Are you gonna make another fic, more LMK stuff, or something else?
ALSO I LOVE THE GAY MONKEY SUPREMACY
@rmzbai ha chiesto:
Hey, kyri45, this might be a stupid question, but when u finish the ShadowPeach Bio Parents AU. Will you fully discontinue it, or now and then will u post like just random bits like what they would do now in normal life now and then?
(Just asking bc I want to know😅)
@sh00tingstarnightss ha chiesto:
I have a question (you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, ofc.)
When you finish ShadowPeach parents au, do you plan to make other comics? Or even upload other things, whether fanarts or something like that? Whether it's lmk or other fandoms you're in.
Btww, I love your work so much!1!1! <3 ♡♡♡
I have like- 4 years worth of fanart to post here on Tumblr. I will most likely finish the ISAT comic. As for LMK we will see. I will also see wheter S6 is confirmed or not and when it comes out.
@roseltelle ha chiesto:
Does redson prefer being called mks boyfriend or more gender neutral terms like partner
partner or boyfriend or girlfriend depending on the day
@presumably-human-stillchecking ha chiesto:
Hi there kyri!
First off wanna say absolutely adore your art as well as your stories, they are truely a work of art and I greatly admire your skill in story telling.
But I also had a quick question did you happen to have a concept design of the over robe or coat mk is wearing to his corelation? Or maybe just a rough outline of the back?
Oke if not I was just wondering.
Can't wait for the finally!! Keep up the amazing work!
hellou. Nope it's just the same as the front, a gradient from orange to red to dark purple.
@roseltelle ha chiesto:
Does mk stick his tongue out, say gross, or whatever when Wukong and Macaque kiss. As an inside joke of course he loves them.
he covers his face and avoid to see the ungodly amount of tooth-rotting fluff his parents need to show off 24/7
@zoesilva-art ha chiesto:
Hi i just wanted to tell you that i love your art so much ! i've been following your work for a while, and you're actually the one who made me curious about LMK so now thanks to you i've develloped an hyperfixation over it haha !
I know the shadowpeach bio parent AU is almost over so i just wanted to thank you, i love the story, the artstyle, the designs...everything ! :)
@proud-memer ha chiesto:
Ahhh! I can't believe the shadowpeach bio parents au is ending. I've loved seeing all the updates and it's been such a blast to see the story develop. Thank you so much for granting us this!
Side note: That end credits video reminded me of just how much I love your designs for Wukong and Macaque when they are trying to pass as humans.
@alizardonfire ha chiesto:
I personally want to thank you for giving us this amazing story and that you inspired others to do the same....if i may share my story about finding LMK. Was through my friends. I watched it here and there and I'm glad that I found your little AU. Thank you for making my life a brighter light in the future. See you at the end of the road mate. I cant wait to see what you do next!
@astro-nomaly ha chiesto:
Kyri I desperately need you to understand what an absolute gift your bio parents au is. It’s just. So so so good everything I’ve ever wanted from anything lmk 🫶
@rin-rin-comics ha chiesto:
Thank you so much for the amazing AU!
It would always update during lunch at school for me and I was always excited when I realized it was an update day
Your comic really helped get me through some rough patches this and last year, so thank you so much for everything
@0casey96 ha chiesto:
You just killed me with that masterpiece of an ending it was amazing and the last part with the dubbing I was already crying but then you slapped me across the fase with that my heart can't take this I love your comic so much and the art is absolutely amazing I shall never recover frome this heart brake 🥲😭❤ as well as how the comic starts with them under the tree talking and ended with its to much.
@scrumptiouscrownmoon ha chiesto:
I just finished your shadowpeach bio parents au. I’ve tried to read MANY comics before but I’ve never been able to stick with them. Idk if it’s because I lost interest in them, forgot abt them, or just life, but this was the first comic series I’ve ever actually finished. And I LOVED it!!!!! Thank you for making the first comic I actually read to the very end, it did not disappoint: I waited excitedly for each new part every week, checking your tumblr at least 5 times a week lol. Definitely one of the best fan inspired things I’ve ever seen, 10000000/10
@ninjahaku21art ha chiesto:
I just want to come by and say thank you for making this incredible AU! I almost cried tears of joy for the ending, just so wholesome and awesome! 🥹✨ I cannot wait to see what you create moving forward!
@o-rainknight-o ha chiesto:
I just need to say thank you for making such an amazing story! I know that you had no idea it would blow up as much as it did, and the number of people who came here for it must have been kind of overwhelming, but you stuck with it to the end and it's been one of the best times in recent years for me.
I love your art style and how you color. It's always so beautiful.
This might be the end of the comic but I don't plan on going anywhere. I don't know what you have planned for the future, if anything, but I plan on being around for it, on my LMK account or otherwise.
Thank you Kyri for making such an amazing story about all these dorks ~
The queue is paused and everything is scheduled, which means we are ready for the finale!
I know that, in the end, this was just a silly side project for me, with everything else going on in my life. But for this occasion, I wanted to drop some words here and hope they make sense.
I started watching LMK only because a friend told me there was a "Sonadow-coded" ship. I ended up consuming the entire thing in one sitting on July 10th, 2024. At the time, I was still recovering from a bike accident that had left me with a broken right forearm—unable to draw for a little over a month. (I did try drawing with my left finger, but it wasn't exactly fun.)
Not only that, but it was summer, and I couldn’t enjoy the season or practice my main sport, windsurfing. To say I was feeling the blues is an understatement. I remember being in physical pain just from not being able to draw my sillies. But then, watching LMK did something to my brain chemistry that my little undiagnosed autistic self had never experienced before. It hit so hard that I’ve been physically unable to rewatch the show SINCE that very first day. (And y’all still call me the CEO of this fandom. Bro, I just work here.)
A lot of you have asked what inspired me to start this comic or to draw LMK fan art in the first place. While my usual answer is, "I saw Shadowpeach and thought MK could be their lovechild, given his appearance," the moment that actually started it all was THIS ONE—
(I HAD TO REWATCH THIS SCENE TO MAKE THE GIF AND IT HURT ME ON A MOLECOLAR LEVEL)
I have… a thing for characters who discover their entire identity was something else all along. It consumes my thoughts, my dreams, my every waking moment. I live for identity crises, for characters who thought they knew who they were, only to be forced to rediscover themselves, their existence, and their place in the world. If you give me a story where a character has to go through that, I will like it—regardless of how bad the rest of the story is.
Pair that with loads of trauma, daddy issues, the pressure of a legacy, and world-ending stakes, and congrats! Now I’m obsessed, and I will not stop thinking about it for the rest of my days!
At first, my brain just wanted to release some of that energy with a small, four-panel post about the monkeys discovering that MK was technically their kid.
That was supposed to be it.
But since I never seem to learn my lesson, it didn’t stay like that. Because once I started drawing, I just... continued.
And
I
never
stopped.
A lot of you have also asked how I found the motivation to draw so much, to never take a break. Well, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it one last time: I am my number one fan. No matter how much you laughed, cried, screamed, or went feral over this story, I did all of that and more. Because I got to think about the chapters months before they released. I got to daydream about them. I got to watch them come to life—first through sketches, then line art, then dialogue. And finally, I got to witness your reactions and see the incredible creations you made, inspired by my story.
So yeah, in a way, it was almost an addiction. A good addiction. Because, for the first time in my life, I actually understood what loving art means.
I’ve been drawing for ten years, working professionally for five, but I never loved art before. I just liked it because I happened to be good at it. But creating this comic made me understand why artists say, "Oh, I’ve loved drawing since I was a child!" This was the first time I allowed myself to create purely for my own enjoyment. Something I hadn’t had the privilege to do for a long time.
Other than making me feel even more single than I already was, this story somehow also helped me a little with my own family relationships. So yeah. Crazy how the gay monkeys changed my life.
Of course, I never could have predicted how much traction my AU would gain. Man, y’all were really starving to latch onto something this silly. /j
But yeah—thank you. Thank you for sticking around until the end, for having the patience and trust to follow the story even when I made you rage with angst and cliffhangers. (The statement in my bio still stands: I am not responsible for any physical or emotional damage my art has caused.)
I’m absolutely shit at thanking people, or at writing, or at talking in general, honestly. I’m the furthest thing from being good with words, so I hope the final chapter will be enough to show you my gratitude.
Through this story, I met so many wonderful, talented people. I watched as fans across different platforms found each other through memes and fanart of the AU. I saw artists start their own AUs inspired by mine, growing their own communities. I witnessed an explosion of creativity and collaboration through our takeovers. And I laughed along with you all.
And yeah—at its core, this story has always been about love. Whether it’s platonic, sibling, parental, romantic, or whatever the hell Mac and Wukong had going on for millennia.
At its heart, it’s a story about family.
And maybe, in the end… the real family wasn’t just the one in the comic, but the one we’ve found together along the way. 💛
Everything from the design of his staff to the makeup is incredible, AND THE COLOURS ARE JUST, AUUGH✨😫 IT'S JUST SO GOOD
And the fact that he's coloured like a sunrise/sunset just makes it so much better too as, like how sunset and sunrise link night and day, the sun and the moon, MK is the bridge between Wukong and Macaque's relationship, which I think is pure genius.
And the fact that MK's coronation outfit is a mix of these designs🤩
You're killing me, Kyri
(also, we NEED a royal family photo of these three in these outfits, I'm begging)
IT'S THEIR KID OF COURSE WUKONG WOULD BE AN EXTRA DRAMA QUEEN FOR HIS ROYAL OUTFIT!! HE'S SO GOD-DAMN PROUD!!!!!!/silly
This was the scene that inspired me to draw the comic. The idea has been in my head since June, after the release of the Good Omens episodes. It went lying in my folders for a while, but I’m glad to finally have it finished!
Thank you for reading :)

Here's sketches I drew on Magma last night. It was after we finished watching Batman vs teenage mutant ninja turtles. It was really fun and I’ll probably draw more fanart on this underestimated movie.
