Macaque:*uncounscious And Injured*

So... I had a new idea for an lmk Au (I didn't think of a name) , or more like an idea for a variant of Macaque. Seeing as some of the fandom likes for Macaque to be a celestial primate with/or with six ears and super hearing , and seeing as in the serie we barely know anything to confirm or deny theories , I thought "What if he was just normal/average? Well as normal as a normal demon/spirit monkey can be"

Not a celestial primate

No six ears and super hearing

No being more powerful than anyone except the monkey king

Just a regular Macaque monkey demon/spirit and not someone powerful (not until later , after meeting Wukong , and even then he's not more strong than everyone else , just most average demons)

I know that's it's kinda underwelming with all the other Aus making Macaque someone cool and powerful , and that the closest to something like this are the human Aus but I think it's not to understimate the funny mental image of a completely capable to die Macaque being done with everyone's bullshit and almost dying because of it and only somehow surviving by pure spite and luck

If someone already has this kind of Au then I'm sorry I didn't mean to copy or steal your idea

Cosmos Monkeys AU

Prologue

I was the first one to come into existence , ironically being born from a star dying

I never noticed how lonely I was , maybe because I didn't know how it felt to not be alone from the start

I just spend my days between the stars and did nothing at all

It may be boring for someone else but it was all I ever knew to do

Floating around and looking at galaxies were the only thing I could think of to pass the time in the immense nothingness of space

Until one day I strumbled upon your birth , it was as beautiful as it was dangerous , I already thought of you as such even before knowing you were coming into existence like me

When I realized who came out of the bursting of the supernova I was left spechless a second time

Your radiance made me forget everything before you and I couldn't help but getting closer to you

I will never forget our first meeting

______________________________________

The first time I opened my eyes it was also the first time I saw you

At the time I thought we were family seeing as you were there when I was born , but you said we weren't really related because being born from the galaxies are unique

I didn't really understand it but we looked to be the same so I stuck around you , I was afraid to live alone in such a vast place and it seemed you didn't like it either

I wanted to see you laugh so I played games with you , you looked so confused and excited every time I came up with a new one , it was amusing to see

Eventually I wanted to see what else I could do other than coming up with games so I started experimenting with myself , I thought there was no way it was all I could do when my existence is special itself

You supported me and only looked troubled at the thought of me hurting and your caring brought me joy

But my efforts weren't in vain , I eventually discovered powers so strong to destroy a sun , you followed in my steps wanting to be by my side in everything and I couldn't have been more grateful for your loyalty

I thought we would be together forever but there's a first time for everything

______________________________________

They took my sun away , these beings that called themselves gods took my sun away from me

They feared us , feared our power but we never did anything to them

They captured us and let me watch as they killed my sun before my eyes and then killed me too

I used all my remaining strenght to lay next to my sun , I wanted my last moment to be with him and thinking only of him

My hatred and desire for revenge against the gods was only a passing thought compared to the feeling of wanting my sun to be my only focus for foverer and more

And with a last look at my other half my eyes closed as my last strenghts left me

Macaque Monkey AU Shitpost of ch 1

Macaque:*Tired of everyone's bullshit*

Macaque:*shapeshifts into a normal monkey*

Wukong:*passing by with his recently stol-borrowed staff*

Wukong:*hears a noise and goes to check it out*

Wukong:*notices Macaque**gasps in delight*

Wukong:"Hello you little cutie , where were you all my life , how couldn't I notice such an adorable monkey like you before?" *picks Mac up*

Macaque:*Struggles to break free* *chirps in protest because he's a normal monkey now*

Wukong:"You sound even cuter , I'm taking you with me , I'm sure you will like my kingdom and will get along well with my subjects" *Flies on his cloud with Mac to Flower Fruit Mountain*

Macaque:*slumps tiredly in Wukong's arms momentarily accepting defeat and chirping in dismay*

I don't know if I did it right or not , at least it looks somewhat good

I literally used Airbrush until I found the right violets/purples that blended in somewhat well

Now to find out how to shade on something more complex like an Oc

Macaque and Wukong designs for the Shadow's Realm AU

Today I suddenly had the inspiration for the final designs for Macaque and Wukong of my Shadow's Realm AU and I'm glad because I really like them

For Macaque , other than the fact I like immagining him as a colourful pretty boy , it would make sense for him to have colourful clothes and long bright fur because of his origins as it's explained on the world's Au concept , and I like to think of him as younger and shorter than Wukong in the AU

Younger because , in the AU , Wukong was born first and shorter because Macaque had to steal to eat so he didn't have enough food to grow properly most of the time

For Wukong he may look chill but after Macaque's death he became an alcoholic and couldn't stay a day without drowing his sorrows away when nobody was looking , that's way I imagine him always with a bottle of alcol with him

I need help to come up with names for my Aus ideas , can you all suggest some names please?

The ones that need names are:

1)The one with a power-average Macaque

2)The one where Macaque acts like a dad to Bai He and will later enter a coma

3)The one about other deity-like monkeys from other countries meeting Wukong and Macaque

And

3.2) The one about Macaque and other primates forming a school (4 and 4.2 are written in the same post because the Au develope in the same kind of world)

Check out my other posts if you don't know about the Aus

Unfinished drawing practise , I'm trying to figure out how other artist shade so well and I'm failing , can someone give me advice?

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

Shadow's Realm AU (Shadowpeach)

Wukong concept

After Wukong killed Macaque's vessel (Of which he will not know it to be a vessel until much later in the future) during his journery , he fell into depression and on one night of tentative meditation to avoid nightmares of him killing Macaque he accidentally traveled over to the Shadow's realm with an "astral vessel" (like Astral protection but being able to interact with things) and found Macaque , believing it to be an hallucination Wukong indulged in the fantasy of being with Macaque again. Later on , after more visits to the Shadow's Realm each night and after finding a monkey cub in the Shadow's Realm , he will convince Macaque to adopt the cub and get married still believing it to be one of his fantasies until MK snaps him out of it and makes him realize that everything is real.

His Astral vessel is like a brighter version of himself , basically like a shadow clone but glowing in gold and therefore blending with the other realm's residents perfectly.

Another new idea for a Lmk Au (don't know how they continue to appear)

There are Aus with Macaque acting like a dad/mom for either MK or Bai He(the lbd's host girl) but in this idea it's not just that

After the defeat of Lbd everything turned back to normal , Bai He initially hang around MK's gang because she was grateful of them saving her but then it stopped being often

Both sides (MK's gang and Bai He's family) mutually agreed that it would be dangerous for Bai He to join them when they go so often against so many enemies and there would be the possibility of not being able to protect her from the crossfire , also she is very young and needs to focus on school and growing up healthly and she can't do that if she gets involved in adventures that could traumatize her further , Lbd was already enough trauma for her

So for a few years Bai He didn't see MK's gang as often as she would have liked but understood the point of keeping her safe , she also didn't mind because there was Macaque keeping her company most often than not

Macaque didn't have a problem hanging out with her , he kept her company , protected her , he also taught her how to manage Lbd's powers

Because of Lbd's having used her as an alive host she was able to retain/absorb some of her powers when Lbd left

So Bai He has ice powers and her clairvoyance now

Macaque was very helpful , most of all with the clairvoyance because he kinda knows how to deal with it as he has a similar power ( aka hear the past , present and future)

But then something happened , not with Bai He but with Macaque

Macaque already escaped death but it had a setback , when Bai He grew up a bit Macaque entered a coma-like state and Bai He will go search a way to wake him up

She will ask MK's gang for help and they will help her save Mac despite Wukong's protests

Bai He and Wukong will not get along at first , it's not like they deslike each other and it's nothing personal but Bai He wants Mac back and Wukong , despite helping (more like forced by MK because it was the right thing to do) , he can't help but say his opinion about letting Mac die like he should have centuries ago

Wukong will later soften when discovering what kind of person Mac is around Bai He and will try to give Mac a second chance if they succeed at waking him up

Shadowpeach can be seen as platonic , romantic or just friendship
