I guess you could consider this another one of my hc’s (Hc - 6) ?

The context behind it’s creation is not disclosable for many reasons

Wukong can’t fight when he’s so distracted ..

Whilst wukong was being punished by heaven, macaque was shoo’d away every time he had tried to visit him and was denied access to wukong in all senses

Wukong, however, did not know this, and simply thought that macaque had forgotten about him and had no interest in visiting him, and he felt betrayed

Thus, when macaque found out wukong was released from under the mountain and was roaming free across the lands, he was obviously excited, but when he hadn’t found him anywhere near the mountain site he had decided that he had to look for him

Meanwhile, wukong was making NEW friends; friends who ACTUALLY saved him from under the mountain

When macaque finally found him after however many years, of course he was angry to see wukong thriving with his new companions, and of course he had confronted wukong about it

Now that they were both angry, both at a misunderstanding (that neither had realized) macaque decided to take the opportunity to teach wukong a lesson

Thus comes the disguising as wukong, attempting to kill his master, their fight, etc.

But wukong had never delivered the finale blow as macaque had believed he did - in fact, he had made sure to keep macaque alive - it was only when LBD had stumbled across his very wounded, very weak form that an idea had come to mind

Wukong without his glamours on is a little chubby - still muscly, but in the chubby way

No one knows about this, specifically because all of his glamours are always up, and he hates how he sort of let himself go over the years of him being “retired”

He’s still very much fit and can do all the things he could do before, he’s just a little chubbier

Extension..

After a few years of reconciliation with macaque (and macaque initiating the first deflation in his glamours) wukong decides to let himself go a little more and starts to casually drop each glamour as time goes on

His body type is the last glamour he ends up dropping, even though he’s absolutely terrified about it; but he figures since macaque has been so supportive about all of his other ‘flaws’, he could trust him enough

When macaque first saw wukong without his glamour up he didn’t say anything, just stood and stared with a blank expression, and it made wukong freak immediately and he put his glamour back up

It was only when a loud yell escaped from macaque and his cheeks were suddenly being harshly grabbed and shaken did he change his perspective

Macaque just pulls and pinches at his cheeks in the moment and yells angrily; “ASSHOLE! DONT PUT YOUR GLAMOURS BACK UP!”

And wukong just stares in bewilderment; “WHAT THE HELL! WHY?”

And macaque just fucking stares at him, almost literal flames in his eyes and a pitch black expression; “Because it’s hot,”

Macaque has never had anything sour or sweet before (if it hadn’t been for pigsy and his noodles at the end of the lady bone demons reign, he never would’ve tried anything savory before either), because of his death and how when he was alive the creation of sweets didn’t exist yet

He tells wukong about it, something a long the lines of; “Yeah, i haven’t really eaten much human food - we don’t really need it to survive, being immortal and all - and I’ve never really given thought to trying it anyway..”

Wukong immediately drags him around Megapolis city centre and buys him a shit ton of sweets, casually snacking on his own on their way and maybe even stealing a few of macs occasionally too

When they finally sit down to eat, macaque is hesitant, but wukong looks so excited that he just gives in and goes for it

Turns out, mac is a big sweet/sour lover, and from that moment on he had corrupted a new addiction

Now, whenever he’d get hungry, all he would crave was sweets and cakes, and now Wukong has to practically force the fruits and noodles onto him

Wukong has an endless social battery, whilst macaque has a very mediocre one

So while wukong likes to spend as much time as possible with the gang, he’ll understand when macaque has lost all his energy and will to socialize (not speaking up, staring at the wall or floor or etc, sitting by himself if he can manage to get away from everyone), and will immediately turn around and give an excuse as to why they have to leave

Macaque only realizes wukong does this for him after a few times, and wukong is rewarded generously (as macaques social battery never runs low with wukong; its infinite)

Macaque won’t admit it, but he loves cute plushies 💕
