Wouldn't it be a cool quirk if Shadow milk's hair would boil like milk when angry or/and be freezing when sad? His hair could also be whatever temperature is outside when he's normal (emotionally), like if it's summer it's warm but in winter it's chilly and in spring and autumn it's something inbetween, the effects are even more potent if he's feeling angry or sad
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
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?
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 don't mind people asking questions about my ideas for Lmk Aus so if you have any go ahead
Shadow's Realm AU
Prologue
Macaque always thought his birth was a rather lonely one
He appeared alone in a strange dark world , he didn't have any family members or primates like him near ...if there were at all
After all when he got a bit older and started to search for someone that could be part of his family , or at least someone of the same species , there was nobody
He was the only one , he was born in a dangerous place without anybody to protect him , care for him and teach him things like how to eat or what to do in case of danger
He had to learn all of that on his own ...it was a bit depressing for a child to grow up like that
He traveled place to place , found some villages , learned a few things like speech or walking on two legs looking at the demons on the street...not that he was entirely successful seeing as he's to used to go on four to break the habit anytime soon and his speech was at a baby's level of skill
He stole food from the merchants when he was hungry and stole clothes to mimic some fancy demon he saw walking and buying around the shops
Sometimes someone would see him but he was quick to jump in the shadows to hide or run away , a power he learned about one time when he randomly tripped and fell into a shadow
It was okay but it was still lonely , he didn't have any friends , even if he settled down in a village he was still a thief and kids his age tended to avoid him , either because their parents told them to or because of some bad rumors about him
His travels seemed like an hobby at that point but deep down he still hoped he could find someone to call family or even a friend
His wish was granted but in a very strange way , the world he lived had some random bright places , they looked like strange gold mirrors , he usually never got close to them because the demons in the village thought of them as dangerous but he run out of places to explore long ago so he gave them a shot
What he found , when looking in the mirrors , was another place , completely different from where he lived , it was so bright and interesting , it wasn't like anything he saw before , with his curiousity picked he tried to find a way to go to that place
He failed , many times , because he didn't know how so he settled to observe from the mirrors in hopes something interesting would happen
He wasn't disappointed , different mirrors showed different areas of that place
He saw a kingdom on the clouds , forests and jungles , different animals and beasts , demons so dull and harsh looking compared from the ones of his world
He looked and looked and looked around
After a while of doing the same thing for days and days , time passed until the day arrived for Sun Wukong to be born in the world
Macaque found Wukong coming out of a rock funny , as well as his personality but most of all he was delighted to find he wasn't the only one anymore , how couldn't he think of this before!? If he was the only one of his world maybe there would be another in the other
In his excitement he run between the mirrors trying not to lose the other monkey , Macaque really wanted to meet him but he still couldn't find a way for it
So he watched the other as the years passed , and one day when Sun Wukong was learning about his world and the Shadow's realm , the world Macaque lived in , by his master , Macaque got an idea
He understood how and why their worlds were divided like this , the how was because of a seal from Buddha , but if Wukong's master was right when they explained various kind of seals in one of their lessons , then there could be a way to go around it
If Macaque couldn't go personally then he needed a way to go over without his phisical body , another idea came when Wukong was learning about clones and astal projection
If Macaque could do something similar then maybe it could work , so he trained and focused his powers to create something , anything that could help him reach his goal
He tried to manipulate the shadows to create a shadow clone , one without sentience and trained to be able to put his mind in it and go around , then he would only need to test if the clones could travel to Wukong's world by the shadows , and prepare a place in his world where his body could rest while he was there
It took a lot of time and a lot of failed attemps before Macaque would finally succeed
In his excitement he came out directly of Wukong's shadow , startling the other monkey
When Wukong saw him he was at first wary then realized that he was looking at Macaque aka another primate like him and the wariness dissappeared to tackle Macaque in his own excitement
They were both curious and giddy about each other and spent the many later years always at each other side ...until that day
Wukong was punished by heaven and forced to go on a journery and protect a monk
Macaque only wanted to save him but the other wasn't thinking straight
You could say Wukong wasn't able to think at all
The circlet was crushing him , the pain was unberable , and the whispers and words of heaven forcing him to eliminate the enemy made him deaf , his state made him blind to who his enemy was until it was to late
When Wukong broke free from the pain and realized who he was fighting against , he could only watch as Macaque's body , his long time partner , dissolved in a cloud of black smoke and ash
Not knowing that Macaque was still alive , and that he just broke the vessel he came to his world with , Wukong screamed so loud the heavens could hear his cries as if they were right next to him
Wukong would have stayed there grieving until the end of time but he had a journery he was forced to finish
His companions tried to cheer him up or help with his mourning with support but what they didn't know was that it would only get worse unless Macaque came back to Wukong
But Macaque didn't want to , he woke up in his own world , but instead of being glad at being alive he was overcomed by sorrow , fear and anger because of Wukong's actions
He didn't understand what happened to lead Wukong to almost kill him but he was too scared to find out so he never tried to use a vessel again to go to the other world
Macaque thought it would be the end of it all but he didn't know
It was only the beginning.
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
Macaque:*uncounscious and injured*
Wukong:*grumbles* how did I turn out to be the one taking care of you , don't you have anyone in your contacts that can take my place?*checks Mac's phone and presses a random number on the speed dial*
Erlang Shen:*answers the phone* Hello?
Wukong:*ends the call instantly and looks incredulously at the phone* what the- *tries another number*
Guanyin:*answers the phone* Hello Liu Er do you need anything?
Wukong:*inhales sharply* you know what I'm not gonna question how anymore
Guanyin: Oh hello Wukong is there a reason you're calling me from Liu Er 's phone?
Wukong: ...Well I might as well tell you seeing as Macaque needs a healer right now , but basically I was searching for someone else to take care of him in my place and this happened
Guanyin: I see , I will be there shortly *ends the call*
Wukong:*blinks at the phone and then looks at Mac's uncounscious body* what the hell Macaque
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"
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 (if the name is already used then I'm sorry I don't remember if anyone else used this)
I saw some Aus , about Macaque and Wukong being the phisical and literal representation of the Sun and the Moon as celestial bodies made monkeys living in the cosmos or space kingdom (or gods that control the sun and moon)
And it gave me an idea for a story
Macaque and Wukong are monkeys born from the cosmos
Wukong from a supernova and Macaque from a dying star on the verge of becoming a blackhole
Macaque and Wukong were the only monkeys living in space and therefore became childhood friends , over the years they became more powerful and more intimate with each other
Heaven feared them so they killed them but the two reincarnated as Wukong and Macaque in the mortal realm
Heaven eventually noticed this fact when Wukong started messing with them so they tried to eliminate them again but it only resulted in kinda leashing Wukong and losing sight of Macaque , but seeing as the two monkeys fought , Heaven wasn't worried about their closeness giving them more strenght and could kill Macaque without Wukong even noticing , even making Macaque think it was Wukong's fault in case he somehow escaped the underworld
Macaque got the memories of his previous life in the underworld because of the circle of reincarnation or lady bone demon gave them to him and became even more resentful to Wukong about their broken relationship because it could have been as close as the one in their past life but he ruined that chance
Then Lbd revived him and the event of the lmk serie goes on kinda like normal plus a shadowpeach reconciliation to friends (later more)
In Shadow's play when Macaque says the Hero and the Warrior are like the sun and moon it has more meaning then MK could immagine
Then there is the fact that while Macaque remembers their past life , Wukong still doesn't , so when Macaque gets hit by nostalgia or does an habit or an action he used to do from his past life Wukong is oblivious , clueless or find the new habits strange and Macaque has to live with the fact that his past life lover doesn't remember him and is probably no more because now there is only Sun Wukong
I don't know if the ending should be Macaque learning to live with there only being Wukong and learn to love him as well
or
Wukong discovering about Macaque's memories and trying to get his past life memories as well with two different versions were in one he succeeds and the other fails and Macaque accepts him as he is even without memories
