Me:*working On Art About My Shadow's Realm AU*

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

MK: Monkey King!!!

Wukong:*startles* uh-wha Ah Hi buddy what do you need?

MK:*sweats* (How do I tell him!?)

MK: uh- so Erlang Shen , Guanyin and Macaque are together in a room

Wukong:*raises brow* is this a joke bud?

MK:...no? no it's not

Wukong:*already speeding through the horizont*

Wukong:*bursts door open* NOBODY KILLS ANYBODY-*trails off seeing the scene in front of him*

Erlang , Guanyin and Macaque:*laughing and playing poker like centuries old friends*

Wukong:*blinks* is this...a nightmare? am I hallucinating?

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.

Ask: "In that context. The clone could have been the one to kill Mac in the past. Does wukong gain information from his clones like in Naruto? or do they just gain their own personality like porty mk"

Answer to @sasunaru22fy about my previous post

Wukong's clones have all the memories of the og! Wukong up until being summoned then the clones make their own memories , the og! Wukong has no way of gaining the clones memories and usually just orders them to tell him everything but even then the more troublesome clones can lie so og!Wukong is careful about summoning his least troublesome clones for information gathering and protection

Macaque was one of them and the first to became a full time existing being

If you're implying that the second Wukong(the clone) technically killed Mac and should have the same opinion of him as og! Wukong because they have the same memories then it's partly true but not really

The clone could also be said to technically haven't killed Mac because he didn't phisically did it , it was og! Wukong, and clones gain their own personality and opinions , like Mac , so they have a different view on the events

If you're implying that a clone was the one to originally kill Mac then no , it was og! Wukong , the only full time clone at the time was Mac

The second Wukong came to be only because Wukong got lazy after sealing Dbk and training Mk so accidentaly using the same clone multiple times made him a full time clone

Clones can become full time beings only if you leave them summoned for a long time and/or often until they can get enough strenght to exist on their own and will be harder to poof and then they will not poof at all and you will have to unlive them to get rid of them

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 resolved the problem of the low quality visual , this is the original version

What I would like Macaque to say to Wukong's face in a fanfic where after Mac gets revived he goes "Fuck him , I'm going to enjoy my second life without ever seeing him"

Wukong:*questioning/yelling about what Macaque is planning and that he doesn't believe he isn't plotting something against him*

Macaque:*tired of Wukong's bullshit* "Listen here you egotistical prick it may shock you but my life doesn't revole around you

You're not worth it , you aren't special , I have other people I hate , do you see me actively trying to kill every person I hate? No? That's because I have better things to do with my life

And honestly I don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to kill you , which is almost impossible , when I could use the time and efforts for something more useful

Do I still hate you? Yes

Do I want you dead? Yes

Will I ever try? No , you're not worth the effort and I honestly don't care about any interaction with you ever because while I hate you I prefer to ignore your existence so I save my sanity against your idiocy

Now if you will excuse me I was literally just trying to get my coffee before you interrupted me with your nonsense"

Wukong:*processing**realizing**Offended gasp**starts fistfight*

Macaque:*drops coffee*"Oh for fuck's sake"*punches Wukong in retaliation*

The constant battle between "I want to cut all my relationships and isolate forever" and "I wish I could have normal feelings towards people".

Thinking about the theories of a bit ago , about Macaque's possible origin being one of Wukong's clones gained freedom of existing full-time , and then I thought:

If it happened with Macaque one time then what about a second one(this time on accident)?

But this time the clone's personality and appearance is closer to the og!wukong , meaning he's a bit of an asshole but nicer than the original and we see how the others react at suddenly having a second Wukong they can't get rid of

The others are kinda unintentionally mean at first , because they don't really consider clones as people for obvious reasons , so they try to get rid of the clone at first and the clone takes it personal because he's just existing and everyone is trying to unlive him

And ironically the clone is closest with Macaque because the clone doesn't have the same problems and grudges that og!Wukong has with Mac and the same works for Mac's opinion of the clone so he's the only one not trying to get rid of the clone

And og!Wukong gets jealous in the background , he will be like the jealous ex because the clone will do anything to woo Mac

If the clone succeds or not is up to personal preference

The same idea can work with Mk instead

P.s: "I entered university so I will not be able to post much"

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)
