Macaque And Wukong Designs For The Shadow's Realm AU

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

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)

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

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!

I'm not sure we're going to see the end with the Beasts any time soon, I know I'm saying this when Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt haven't appeared yet in-game but I think that the answer to many fans's question about if the Beasts are gonna get redeemed will wait a while (not like we didn't expect the wait)

I don't know how much lore the creators made about the Beasts but they could become more recurrent/frequent antagonists in the game for much longer than we expect to keep it interesting and us curious about the lore until we encounter Dark Enchantress again (at least I hope so)

I'm really curious to know how the Beasts corrupted and why they didn't overcome the difficulties, I know we kinda saw Mystic Flour and Burning Spice's backstories but I think they're unreliable narrators (I get the vibes of brainwashing or something similar like a forced persuasion, I'm most likely wrong tho) and maybe there are details we don't know about that are important (PV better share what he saw of Smilk's past in the next lore update)

Did they really corrupt by flaws in character and/or because of the cookies around them (also the burden of immortality)? Was the "corruption" just a change of heart or there is a secret evil that infected them?

What are the chances that all five of them corrupted? Did they fight each other before falling to corruption themselves? Ecc ecc...

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

Shadow's Realm AU (Shadowpeach)

Macaque concept

Macaque is an infernal primate born from the Shadow's Realm , when he was born he decided to go to the mortal realm because of his curiousity with young Sun Wukong after observing him through the connection of the shadows between the two realms , because Macaque is a special kind of primate like Wukong , he doesn't follow the same rules of everyone else so he could come over the mortal realm by creating a vessel to send to the other world while his real body stayed in the shadow's realm sleeping.

The demons that lived in the Shadow's Realm evolved to be colourful , bright or to have natural body lights to scare away or fight the native dark creatures (their version of animals or beasts) so they could survive and/or hunt them for food. The dark creatures can't stand light or bright colours because of their poor eyesight and they can also be blinded that way.

The same goes to Macaque as well so he has bight white fur , six colourful bioluminescent ears and two golden eyes that become a bright amethyst when using magic to see where it's the darkest.

The vessel doesn't have those characteristics because Macaque thought of them to be useless and too eyecatching in the mortal realm so the vessel looks like the Macaque from the lmk serie.

After Wukong killed his vessel he woke up in the Shadow's Realm and grieved their fall out. But he wouldn't grieve for long because he will later find himself playing-pretend with a delusional Wukong about being a loving couple , and later an husband and parent , in fear of getting killed again. ( He will later find himself caring for the cub and Wukong again)

New Lmk Au/s but it's more of a funny scenario

In journery to the west it says that there were 4 celestial primates , but in the work only make an appearance Sun Wukong and the six eared macaque

I didn't read journery to the west but I think it didn't specify that the other two celestial primate lived in China too (if I'm wrong I'm sorry) , or that they were still alive (again if I'm wrong I apologize) but for Au plot's sake let's say they are alive but live somewhere else

I say they could live somewhere else because there are many other cultures in other places/countries were some monkeys are considered deities/demons/spirits/gods ecc

There also could be other god-like monkeys that are not exactly the celestial primates that China knows in the world , because if China's gods exist why not the ones in other places?

So what if the primates from China(Sun Wukong and Macaque) met the others from other countries? Like a meeting between the monkey kings from all over the world

___

Another idea with the same basic characteristic is if Macaque goes traveling all over the world and makes friends with other powerful primates and they make a fun kind of chaos

I think it would be funny if Macaque forms a quartet with all four of them being a kind of equivalent of the original celestial primates , substituting Wukong with someone else

(bonus if Macaque isn't literally the six eared macaque/ a celestial primate in the first place but him being one is just a running joke)

(bonus n*2 if he really is but his friends think he's joking , then find out it's true later)

I think it would be funny if Macaque takes his friends to China and forms a school

Macaque teachs spells/seals/curses

The wukong equivalent teachs fighting

Another teachs about beasts and artifacts

Another history and culture of demons/celestial/spirits ecc

And MK gets interested in wanting to join , Mei too , much to Wukong's dismay

Bonus if Macaque and the Wukong equivalent are in a fake relationship to mess with Wukong

Or they are in a real relationship and Wukong isn't romantically interested in Macaque but just hates the fact that others like someone he can't stand

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 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
