MHA au where everything is the same but Shinsou is a monkey. That's it
I’ve thought of this AU for a while with my oc so might as well post it
The Shadow Apprentice AU
Almost a thousand years ago a twelve year old girl named Tulip was sitting under a peach tree after trying and failing to get the fruit down. As she thinks one of the “peach from the tree” falls on her and she happily eats it thinking it was a gift from the Gods
Sense then it’s been 120 years and she’s still alive coming to the realization that the peach was in fact a peach from the celestial grove of immortal peaches
Many years later a monk from her city is chosen for a quest. She follows the monk till he reaches a mountain that holds Sun WuKong aka the Monkey King. After being freed the Monkey brags of his rampage though heaven and the many ways he became immortal, Immediately Tulip remembers the peach she had eaten. He must have dropped it on his drunk rampage though Heaven.
She wanted to scream, it was his fault she was immortal it’s was him who put her through all this suffering. From that day for word she vowed to make him hurt as much as she did, but how. Eight hundred years later Tulip is practicing fighting when a mysterious figure comes up behind her. Sensing his presence she immediately turns around and points her staff at him, but as she does she sees not man not demon not god not spirit but a monkey with six ears and a large scar across his face
He introduces himself as Macaque and says that he’s been watching her and know what’s she training for, before Tulip could even say a word Macaque proposes a deal. She help him steal magic from demons and gods, an extra bonus is she gets a few powers herself, so that they can both take down the one they both desperately crave to see dead. Sun WuKong. She thinks to herself and then decides to take the deal
Many more years later and the 2 have gotten close, their relationship can be compared to one of a father and daughter. By now the Demon Bull King has been released for a year or two and is constantly being stomped by Mk or as Tulip likes to put it “a hiccup in the plan”. Macaque tried and failed to steal the boys powers on his own, so like any good daughter Tulip decides that instead of being the person helping from the side she’ll help him on the front lines. And this is where our story truly begins

*yeets crappy Wukong doodle at you*
Byeeeeeee!👀🙈
This person is extremely right so credit to the amazing artist and mind who created this
Board me strikes again in the form of another story idea after listening to the song "Stronger Then My Storm" by Citizen Soldier on repeat for ages while just being in a monkey king mood.
In particular, what if Wukong didn't go on the journey to the west, what if he was never freed from the mountain he was trapped under till a few years before the LMK show's Mk appeared, what if spending that long being stuck trapped with the weight of a mountain on his back and only occasionally getting "food" in the form of molten or red hot metal left it's mark on Wukong's body.
Note, if you like the idea after reading the basics I set up feel free to use it, all I ask is to link it to me later! I want to read other people's interpretation!
So, the way I am playing this is that Wukong got imprisoned under the mountain for the same reason as in the original tale (though it isn't yet shown why he was put under the mountain in the show, it is somewhat implied that it might have been his punishment for defying heaven and trying to take over with his brotherhood because there are no indications so far that the imprisonment under the mountain was related to the celestial horse stampede or the massive party crash and subsequent defeating of the celestial army... Twice if you include the havoc he caused after escaping the furnace... That in the original tale gets the Buddha called on him and leads to his subsequent imprisonment. Wukong had to have been punished for his and the groups attack on Heaven and we do not know when in the timeline this event falls, so all we can assume as of now is that the mountain was his punishment). However, instead of getting freed after 500 years to go on the Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor decided Wukong was too dangerous to be re-release into the world despite Guanyin's promise that she would give the Buddhist monk Tripitaka a method to keep the celestial monkey in check. Instead, the Jade Emperor "threatens" the Six-Eared Macaque, who at this point knows Wukong was trapped under the mountain (for how long, no clue, we don't get any tells when in the timeline Mac visited Wukong, so I'm going to say within the first 100 years) and had taken to being the Macaque King of Flower fruit mountain since he figured Wukong would never return, into being a member of the Journey to the West after basically getting a contract from the Emperor that at no time during his time away from his island may the Celestial army or any of its soldiers or denizens of the celestial realm invade and destroy their island in retaliation for Wukong's "crimes" and once the journey is complete this will remain in place since all crimes will have been paid for.
As such, Wukong never met Ao Lie, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, or Tang Sanzang and history would only know Wukong as the first king of Flower Fruit Mountain/the Monkey King due to the tales passed down of his journey for immortality and his subsequent imprisonment when he goes to far, using him mainly as a message for never letting yourself become so engrossed in your plans for the future that you stop seeing the harm your actions cause in the present. This also means that none of the deaths or imprisonment that would happen in the original tale/the demons and immortals that Wukong met along the way would know him or have happened. We would have to assume Mac helped imprison Lady Bone Deamon as well as extract the Sumadi Fire from Red Son and that whatever caused D.B.K.'s rampage (which I believe is somewhat implied to be LBD), at what I am currently assuming was just after the Journey to the West, never happened.
However, despite the winds of fate having shifted so far off course, the world will always try to align it's self with the intended path of history. As such, Tang (who I am imagining as more of an archaeologist instead of a pure historical scholar like he is in the show) would still be obsessed with the Journy to the West and the tales relating to it, particularly with the tales of the First King of Flower Fruit Mountin. As such, he takes many a trip out to find historical ruins and sights to try and find remnants of forgotten tales about this long lost King. As such, roughly 3 years before MK would be found in front of Pigzy's shop, Tang would find the the mountain range Wukong was trapped under and unintentionally find his was down into his imprisonment chamber, where he would find the comatose King still taped with roughly 260 billion (this is only an estimate of what Quora says an average mountain weighs) tons of mountain on top of him, with the magic spells keeping him locked up weakened (because time will affect anything, including magic as shown in the show), but still active. Upon seeing this and recognising who this must be Tang would rush to the nearest town, get some stone breaking supplies, rush back to the mounting and climb the mountain to remove the seal that was told in legend to be keeping the king trapped under the mountain. Tang would then go back down into the cavern of Wukong's imprisonment and spend many days slowly chiseling the comatose former King out of the mountain. After which he would take wukong to his vehicle and bring him back to Megapolis and checking the king into a hospital under the guise of being just a plain old Demon Monkey who he doesn't know the name of, since revealing Wukong as the lost king could end horribly for the injured and comatose King.
Wukong would spend a year within this hospital (with all bills being paid for by a donation fund set up for demons who have not registered or no not wish to register into modern-day identification systems that is funded by wealthy deamon families that want to help their fellow demons in this modern age) in a coma, eventually waking up after many centuries of unconsciousness. After which he has to learn how to speak, write, and walk again after many months of therapy learning during this time through talks with his savior, talks with the doctors, and self examination the true gravity of his current situation.
That being that he was isolated from the world for over 1000 years (having been in a coma for what the monkey can only guess is 500 years of that time span or so) and is now in a world completely different from the one he knew, he is now an enigma of history only really known for his cautionary tale, his throat and stomach had been heavily damaged from the centuries of being forced to eat molten metal leaving his voice quiet and gravely and his stomach paralyzed (though the doctors suspect over time it may heal), that so long with so much weight on his lower back has left him a paraplegic (with odds of him ever fully recovering being low by the doctors examinations), and that most if not all of his Chi (magic? mana? energy? who knows, the show never properly names this internal energy source) is blocked off and it could take year's for him to reopen all the ley lines in his body to use more high-intensity incantations and auras again for battle, if he can ever fight again.
During his time in the hospital, and then in hospice as he regains his strength, Wukong and Tang become friends, and Tang (after a chat with Pigzy who the partially broke archaeologists is living with) invites Wukong, who decided to hide himself in this new day and age under his old name "Shí Hóu", to come live with them. There are some minor issues in the beginning for the three due to needing to figure out how to work with a house member in a wheelchair the majority of the time, but they all make it work eventually and after a while Wukong finds a job in the animation industry and adds another income to the apartment dwelling household. Eventually MK joins the three after a appearing at Pigzy's shop and Wukong essentially becomes the babysitter of the group, what with having the least dangerous and most easily able to multitask job.
Thanks to MK Wukong meets Redson for the first time after a 6 year old MK runs off while Wukong and him are at a coffee shop and Redson, being much more kind-hearted due to not losing his father, helps Wukong out after the monkey man manages to either lose or fall out of his whealchair. And Red son, now curious about the monkey who somewhat reminds him of the Sun Wukong from his father's old tales starts to insert himself into Wukong's life. Leading to Red basically ending up as MK's big brother figure and leading to MK becoming friends with Mei due to Red and his family having connections with other mystical families like those of the dragon from the journey to the west. This could lead to DBK and Wukong meeting again early on, or much later then in the show depending on how you want to spin it, however I would do it as they meet earlier, but DBK does not know Shí Hóu is Wukong until much later. Though Wukong would know and be somewhat depressed thinking he lost his last brother to time because revealing himself could lead to DBK denouncing him (not that DBK would).
How the original show would progress from there would depend on the writer's interpretation, but I would still have Monkey king teach MK to fight and such, but with MK being more patient and understanding of not being able to get into intense battle-type things due to Wukong being a paraplegic. And without any Mac interference, because he thinks Wukong is still in prison, and would at most think "huh... This kid strangely has a lot of Wukong's powers and skills. Weird, but oh well."
So, I like many a person ended up randomly scrolling through videos and the like in boredom one day, and ended up on a channel called DissociaDID.
And that got my mind a spinning after watching some of the media.
Specificaly, what if Wukong had DID?
I will note, I don't think this is an idea I would openly write a full story about for others to read because I don't think I could do this mental disorder the justice it deserves in my opinion.
However, I thought I might put out the idea for how it happened and my thought for alters and their jobs.
First off, what would lead Wukong to develop DID?
First thing I need to say is we don't know the timescale of Wukong's early life, all that is stated in his tale is that he came out fully formed. But that does not mean he came out fully formed mentally, so within the first 7 years of his life he could have developed amnesia barriers as a coping mechanism for all the trauma he dealt with, and then it developed into DID because of the separation of memories.
As of right now, my main thoughts for what lead to Wukong developing it are as follows.
Wukong back when he was just Shí Hóu (what is currently believed to have been his name or title before he went to gain his first immortality) the original dominate male of Wukong's tribe bullied, beat up, and generally tried to kill Wukong. Perhaps the leading male even put forth the "go beyond the waterfall to become the king thing" and enticed Wukong into doing it in an attempt to have Wukong die by drowning, with it partially working and almost killing the young monkey king, but instead Wukong found the temple and became king, displacing the old monkey as the alpha, but they would make continuous attempts to kill Wukong even after.
As time went on perhaps the former alpha male died in a very gruesome way in front of Wukong, with maybe one or two of the kinder monkeys in the group dying of disease, putting the fear of death through means that Wukong wouldn't be able to control into his mind, leading Wukong to travel potentially days alone on a raft with little to no food in an attempt to find immortality like he had heard of being possible from some demon monkeys.
Then once on shore Wukong met humans and they feared and degraded him for not being human, for their belief he was a demon or the like, perhaps even attacking him till he learned to hide and found a link to what would lead him to an immortal.
Then the immortal had the same beliefs as the other humans and shut him out from learning, but Wukongs persistence led the man to give him a chance to learn, leading to Wukong being in an environment where all those learning with him initially hated or despised him, perhaps to the point of doing things to try and get Wukong to leave but over time they just became indifferent to Wukong, still being racist but identifying that Wukong was dedicated to his craft.
I can't say for sure but that altogether feels like a pretty good recipe for developing DID.
Next up, Wukong's alters.
First up, the original Wukong Shí Hóu, he/they are a trama holder, and would have been the earliest host before a new one developed in the wake of becoming King and needing to not be fearful of the former dominate male or risk losing the better life he was gaining. Leading to them being a "little" in the sense that they no longer aged beyond the point of no longer being the Host of the body. Shí Hóu would act most like a young orphaned monkey.
Next would be a Persicutitory Protector that would have formed to protect Shí Hóu from attacks by the male while making it clear to the little one that it is their fault they are continuing to be abused because he never fought back against the male. Their title would be Jingwēi and they would probably act most like a hostile male monkey, probably partially forming from a fragment of the aggressive male.
A soother alt would have probably formed around this time as well to help calm Shí Hóu down after traumatising confrentations with the dominate male. Their title would be Guānxīn and they would probably be most like a mother monkey Shí Hóu watched from afar, and probably later on would have gained traits from watching human and demon parents.
Formation timeline-wise, next to form would probably be a fragment with the title Shuî who formed from Wukong's water based trama and might be part fish. They would not have to major a personality and and be more a mindset revolving around being unable to drown due to being part fish.
Timeline wise the next personality to form would be Wukong, though he wouldn't have that name at the time and would have gone by Monkey King. He would be the main Host of the system from the time of becoming King to present.
Some time during Wukong's travels 4 more alts would form. Zhìzhê who would be the Gate Keeper of the system controlling who has access to what memories, who is in front, and keeping track of all alts within the internal space. Guówáng who would be a co-fronting primary protector to Wukong helping with protecting the body from harm and with fighting off trouble. Yêmánde being a faceless persecutor, repeating back the hate and fear spewed by the masses of humans (and later demons and celestial beings) towards Wukong, being a constant reminder of Wukong not being similar to anything at all. And lastly Liu er Miho, AKA Macaque, who at the time was a trauma holder persecutor like Yêmánde representing the fear of the unknown and those who speak and hide in the shadows.
Some time during Wukong's training under Pitu Zushi (though the show seems to be calling them Master Subodhi, but that could be a mixup on my part for the journy's immortal teachers name) or perhaps some time after Wukong's trip into the Diyu when taking the front for a moment Macaque used some of Wukong's power to create a clone for him to break himself off into that later became their own person sans memories of being part of Wukong.
3 more major alts and potentially one minor one would form from Wukongs learning immortality onward. First Lâoshī, Wukongs desire to be a protector and a caregiver/teacher to others, Huô forming from Wukong's traumatic experiences with fire and being a trauma holder who can disable the body unintentionally by making them temporarily blind (may also have some relation to the molten iron and copper fed to Wukong), Geisha who would be a sexual defender and trauma holder for the system (because you can't convince me that someone over the years wouldn't have tried to forcefully mate Wukong for power), and lastly Tang an interject persecutor protector that formed based off Tripitaka who would hurt or berate Wukong for his "violent" ways while reminding and suggesting less lethal methods.
My thoughts on how MK and his group figure this out is less certain.
As of right now, my main idea for how it happened is something involving fire triggers Huô sending Wukong into a blind panic running away with MK trying to follow with maybe one other behind him and they hear a difference in how Wukong is speaking or talking to himself and realise something is up. Later doing research and it clicking over enough time what is happening and leading MK and the others trying to get Wukong (as well as Mac (because learning you were a piece of the very person you hate can't be good for the psyche)) some professional help to at least partially recover from all the trama.
What do you all think? Have Ny ideas of your own to add? I would love to hear them.
Ok, so, just watched the season 4 specials, and wow that is a ride.
I'm not going to spoil what happened, but I want to talk about something at the end that i believe links into who the next "big bad guy"(s) is/are.
So, potential spoiler warning, go watch the specials and come back here once your done!
What I am referring to specifically is this image and something Wukong said.
Now, lets get down to business.
During the final confrentation Wukong said something to Azure that could only mean one thing to me. He basically implied he killed Azure back in the past.
But, if that was the case, there is no way Azure should be top side. And unlike my belief that Wukong didn't kill Mac, in this case, I have to believe Wukong killed Azure. Wukong's confusion and questions along with Azure's own recognition that something is wrong and that he was used can only point to the lion's death.
But if that is the case, how was he top side? How did he escape the Diyu?
This will not surprise anyone who has read the journey to the west, the source material for a lot of the Lego Monke Kid past and characters, but, only one person ever went into the Diern and escaped back to the mortal coils. And that was the Monkey King, as shown in Mac's explanation of Wukong's past.
And this vissage looks strikingly familiar to the temple we see at the end, to the point it has to be the same place. Plus some of the individuals who were in the scene were interacting with more pieces of the scroll that was used, specifically referring to it as the "scroll of memories".
The backstory imagery, Wukongs statement of Azure being dead, as well as this scene linking the scroll back to this place can only point to one thing for me.
The Diyu's 10 kings are the next bad guy.
That place can only be the Diyu, the image is shown when Mac is referring to Wukong's travels into the realm of the dead and removing his name from the leger. And with Azure being dead and the scroll seemingly being the property of the Diyu, and the Diyu being damb spiteful about keeping it's souls in the land of the dead unless they reincarnate there is no way of any of this happening unless the 10 kings set this up. They let Azure out of the Diyu with the scroll in hopes of achieving something.
And based on Azure's almost continuous hate and desire to kill Wukong till Wukong pointed out the problem the only reason I can think they would do it is exactly that they wanted Azure to kill Wukong.
It makes sense after all, the 10 kings were humiliated by Wukong in the original story and they likely would have wanted to get back at Wukong. But why now? Why over likely 1000 years later? Well, part of it likely relates to Wukong trashing the place and it taking them time to get the place back in order. The other reason, I think, relates to them thinking Wukong would be weak enough for Azure to take him down. We all remember how beat up and drained Wukong was for all of season 3, and while time had likely passed between seasons 3 and 4 it probably wasn't a lot of time. So, maybe once the 10 kings got word of what happened they searched for a soul to use to achieve their goal, kill Sun Wukong.
I don't think they expected their plan to go so far off the rails and almost destroy the universe, but I am positive they wanted Wukong dead.
So, I expect season 5 will either be the group having to protect Wukong from even more of his old enemies trying to kill/kidnap him, or having to rescue Wukong again, this time from the Diyu.
I can't be sure though, and if this all is the case that they were trying to kill Wukong, it is entirely possible my believe Wukong didn't kill Mac is wrong and the Diyu was trying to use LBD to get rid of Wukong, potentially multiple times and tried to use Mac as a tool to make it happen!
Also, Mac being so tight liped about what happened to fully push apart Mac and Wukong even now, makes me hope we will see it if/when Wukong and Mac finally fully apologise to each other and start rebuilding their relationship. What wukong did with Mac in the ending scene makes me think Wukong wants to try the two's friendship again, but I can't be sure.
However, I need to ask, what do you all think?
Comment below your thoughts.
Random LMK thoughts
So, I've been randomly thinking about a particular episode from LMK.
Shadow play
Particularly Mac's story of Wukong seemingly killing him.
And, I can't decide if the story is the truth.
Why you may ask?
Because we only ever really get Mac's side.
While Wukong does seem to have guilt related to Mac, there is one thing he never does. Tell his precise relations and back story with Mac. We only ever hear this story from Mac and Wukong only ever really says he and Mac use to be friends (as indicated in the scroll Brotherhood banquet scene) or rivals.
We only ever hear about Mac's death from the monkey himself initially, and later from Lady Bone Demon. As far as I know even Tang did not know about Mac having any relation to Wukong till he met him the first time. So the Six Eared Marquis must have never been mentioned in their version of the Journy to the West.
But, if the battle had been so major, why was it not a part of the journey's story in their universe?
If I had to guess, 3 major things come to mind for why.
The battle happened in seclusion and even the pilgrim's and gods didn't know what happened, and with Wukong being silent no one wrote about this event.
Something led to all accounts of Wukong and Mac's relations and battle being struck from the record.
The battle was not a major battle or was deemed to personal to Wukong by the group and it was never talked about. Which lead to it never being mentioned in legend.
All 3 are viable reasons, But all 3 put forth a problem of whether Wukong actually killed Mac. Why? Because Wukong's guilt could just be related to him hurting Mac instead of killing him or, just as likely, leaving Mac alone unconscious and unable to defend himself.
And what imagery I can find of Mac's scar (because the man seems to have a constant glamor up) Indicated it was more likely a sword or sharp slash wound than a blunt force skull crunch that did the damage.
And with Mac's story indicating Wokong was using the golden staff or the Ruyi Jingu Bang a slash wound would not make sense.
As such, I would like to say Mac is lying, or at least lying in the sense that he does not know the truth.
I think, Wukong possibly knocked Mac out and left him where he was before continuing the journey. And then, someone else came along and decided to use Mac as a puppet by lying to him. After all, we don't know when Wukong's group dealt with the Lady Bone Demon, so, if it happened after Wukong's battle with Mac and the false Mayor and LBD's spirit could show Mac a false set of events. (which she has been shown to manipulate people mentally). Then she could stage it like Wukong killed Mac and she revived him while leaving a bit of herself in him like she did with the fake mayor.
Another piece that gets me is LBD's use of those chains with a spell.
Other than the ghosts that appear at the beginning of the spell, there is no indication their chains are related to the Diern (the MLK universe's version of the underworld). The chains shown in the story Mac told don't count because we can not verify if it as the truth. Also, The ghosts could purely be related to the LBDs powers when activating the spell. Plus the ghost imagery appears also whenever she is possessing or mentally manipulating someone.
In conclusion, I don't think Wukong killed Mac, I think Mac was fed a lie about what happened and he believed it.
If this is true, then I hope either the season 4 specials or season 5 (if it happens) shows us the truth of what happened that day from Wukong's eyes.
I any case, what you all think?
Another random Monkey King thing,
Why does Wukong look so cute when he is passed out drunk out of his mind?!?
He is to adorable, especially with that strange hat on.
I am also stating my opinion about this scene.
In particular that this scene is in the past, back before Wukong went to heaven and got himself stuck under a mountain. Likely this is during one of his famous parties (given the fact there is a feast of fruits set out on the table alongside enough wine to get Wukong to pass out drunk,) and considering who DBK is, this being one of Sun Wukong's sworn brothers, the other 2 in the scene are also likely his sworn brothers. I'd need to research their names though.
