fuck you *TURNS YOUR PRISONERS' KEYS INTO CLAY*
Just some sskk angst 😋
Forgive my overindulgence but do you know what this means??? Do you??? Can you even conceive of the potential????
Say Wukong didn’t kill Macaque.
What if he doesn’t know?? What if he just thinks they had their fallout under the mountain, Macaque disappeared for hundreds of years, and when he showed back up again he hated him? What if they never spoke of it, because obviously not even Wukong would forget something as awful as murder-betrayal. What if both their images of each other are twisted, Macaque thinking Wukong is a violent monster who turned on him the second he didn’t serve his purpose and Wukong thinking Macaque is a coward who had one argument and abandoned him for a hundred years, coming back only to start fights and target his student? What if everyone’s perception of Wukong is a little skewed due to some celestial influence? What if the Lady Bone Demon, did a lot more damage than anyone ever knew?
Most importantly, what would they do if they realized they were tricked? If Macaque digs up his unaltered memories and realizes he abandoned his best friend for next to nothing? If Wukong realizes someone made Macaque think he killed him? If they could even make up after centuries of fighting under false memories, or, alternatively, how quickly they reconcile even after so long?
In conclusion, Shadowpeaches is my lifeblood but I stopped doing art because the canon implications of their murder-betrayal relationship made me feel kinda weird but now, with this new headcanon, I suddenly have a lot more material :)

• Wukong is ambidextrous.
• Pigsy sings like Teddy Swims.
• Mei is a fan of Freedom Planet and she can't decide whether she likes Lilac or Carol more.
• Because he's immortal, Wukong doesn't need to eat or sleep, but still likes to because he enjoys it. Similar to Amethyst from Steven Universe.
• MK was born during the year of the Monkey.
• MK and Mr. Tang have gone to a few Monkey King conventions in the past and would cosplay as Wukong and the Monk respectively.
• Mei can't sing. She can dance though.
• Wukong CAN sing and dance, but because of his severe stage fright, you never get to hear him. He'll sing privately though (i.e. in the shower).
• MK and Mei are both fans of Sonic The Hedgehog. MK has even gotten Wukong into the series. Now Wukong will sometimes call Macaque "Shadow the Hedgemonkey".
• Macaque's got the abs, but Wukong's got the pecs!
• Sandy has a blog dedicated to Mo.
• Red Son will sometimes just casually snack on some ghost peppers. He also hates ice cream.
• During the Brotherhood, Azure and DBK would sometimes have arm wrestling competitions.
• Wukong and Macaque are both fluent in Mandarin, English, and various other languages that LMK has been dubbed in. However, Wukong still has trouble with spelling.
• Wukong's favorite Disney movie is actually Aladdin, not Mulan (though Mulan is a close second). He loves Abu, can relate to both Aladdin and the Genie in different ways, and even mentions to others that in the original version of the story, Aladdin was Chinese.
• Though they both like Traditional Chinese music, when it comes to modern music, Wukong and Macaque both think that the other monkey's music taste is garbage. Despite that however, the one song that they can agree on liking is "Dance Monkey".
