Macaque Monkey AU

In this Au Macaque "looks" like a normal non-demon/spirit monkey

Before Macaque and Wukong met , Macaque lived quietly by himself in the jungles but after Wukong started causing problems the demons and celestial alike came to challenge Wukong , Macaque life wasn't so quiet anymore and the worse part was that demons/celestial that knew him for his abilities asked for his help too many times and the ones that didn't know him mistook him for Wukong and attacked him

So to avoid this problem Macaque shapeshifted into a normal macaque monkey and hid his ears behind glamours , only Buddha would know he was in reality a celestial primate

Macaque thought that with this he could return to his quiet life but he didn't account for a Monkey king with a new acquired staff to spot him in their way back to their kingdom and catch interest in them and manhandle him to take him to said kingdom

Despite Macaque looking like a normal monkey and Wukong being none the wiser of his disguise , the monkey king was absolutely in love (at first not romantically but will be later on) with him

Wukong named him and took him everywhere , Macaque is the favorite of the king and soon everyone knew about it , Wukong even erased Macaque's name from the book of death , and fed some immortality peaches , immortal wine and pills of immortality to an oblivious Macaque so they could stay together forever

Macaque at first was annoyed at being kidnapped but later found he quite enjoyed being pampered by the king and pranking/leaving shocked others by doing things normal monkeys couldn't do with his powers (Wukong would get stunned and fall unknowingly deeper in love every time)

Wukong will think Macaque is a normal monkey for a long time (I still don't know when he should find out Macaque is like him but it will happen eventually)

Feral Macaque AU

I had another idea for a lmk au

When they were young Macaque was good hearted while Wukong was kinda the bad one

Wukong was only nice to the monkeys and who he considered his friends and didn't have problems with being cruel or murderous to those who weren't and that pissed him off (which was easy to do)

Macaque was the most soft hearted of the two , he might not put his trust blindly to strangers like a naive fool but he isn't heartless or uncaring to people in need that deserved help

And that's the exact reason Macaque was a target for bullying , mockery and insults by the other demons

Even with Wukong's protection it only gave the others another reason to consider him weak

Wukong was Macaque's only friend and that's why Mac was so scared of losing him but eventually they fought while Wukong was trapped under the mountain sealed by Buddha and Macaque was very emotionally hurt

When Wukong joined the journery to the west Macaque got worried and thought about saving him despite still being somewhat hurt and mad at Wukong but it lead to his death instead

Macaque was furious , Wukong was the bad one , the one killing and doing whatever he wanted but got a chance to be better while he died mistaken to be a bloodthirsty monster out for the monk's blood

Macaque decided , if they thought of him as monster then he will gave them a monster

Then Lbd came and resurrected him but didn't know much of the "monster" she was dealing with

Macaque has gone feral and Lbd had to take precautions to use him

She caged him and leashed him but he would still not obey her , trying to escape and causing a rampage destroying and killing her servants with bare hands

She then used the monkey's insticts to gave him a reason to somewhat stay put for a while so she gave him Rumble and Savage to protect and care for and as a reason to obey her orders if he doesn't want them to get hurt

Eventually Mk strumbled across them and freed them and would later struggle to help and befriend three feral monkeys and try to avoid them going out for a rampage

Wukong gets involved to keep them on flower fruit mountain so they don't kill anyone and he has to try to reason with Macaque for him to return civil and maybe reconcile (by MK's request)

Shadowpeach can be platonic , romantic or simply friendship

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

I don't mind people asking questions about my ideas for Lmk Aus so if you have any go ahead

Fun Fact about me :

I may seem only a romantic shadowpeach shipper , because in my ideas there's usually that kind of relationship , but in reality I like platonic/sworn-siblings/bio-siblings(My favorite)/best friends shadowpeach just as much if not more as the romantic one

But I don't know how to write them as platonic/siblings/friends so I usually write them as a couple because I have more experience in writing characters in a romantic relationship

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!

Another new idea for a Lmk Au (again) but this time I named it Twin shadows AU (if the name is already used I accept suggestions)

Rumble and Savage are usually depicted as Macaque shadow's clones that gained santience or his magically born kids

But what if they were Macaque himself?

After feeling so lonely for a long time Macaque decided to divide himself in two to have company resulting in Rumble and Savage

Rumble and Savage are Mac's soul , personality and body split in two to make their own person

They consider themselves brothers and are inseparable , if they get separated without reason or long period of times there are a few reactions they can have depending on the reason and if they can't go to the other yet

Restlessness / uneasiness

Panic/anxiety/separation anxiety's attack

Rage/bloodlust

Depending on the situation , the amount of time they were apart , the reason of the separation (or lack of , ex: separation by kidnapping) , and if one or both of them are in danger

The brother have different reactions and how they handle them but are both equally as bad

MK basically adopted them , he always felt bad about Macaque loneliness and now he can make up to it by being a supporting dad

Both Rumble and Savage are little shits to Wukong , it's worse when he's forced to babysit them sometimes
