Jesters and their adopted human.

Prompt ideas are thanks to @abstractsplat and @swearbunny egging me on in discord.

Close ups of my favorites:

"Old habits die hard"

An older piece I finally polished up and felt comfortable posting even though it's been sitting on my drive for a few months lmao.

Something something heart links. Cradled skeletal hands. Chains as wings, heaven and hell. Alt versions below from when I was testing colors:

It was supposed to be something dramatic, but it just didn't work out that way :D

Animation hands go brrr again and I’m bore d

woe, Soft Moon be upon ye 

this is for the tumblr moots 😌

I'm not good at drawing Furniture so it looks a little weird😅💦 lmao

It's based off this post somebody already did but with macaque on the computer instead, I can't find the post anymore but I think you guys already seen it?

Here's the image it was based on in case anyone else wants to try it, it was good practice.👍

I decided to add my little monkey OC, Zan, into Cursed AU!

Also because Zan can talk, following JTTW’s rules, she is technically a demon

It’s always nice to have a heart-to-heart after being impaled to death, am I right?

Anyway, I had a lot of fun experimenting with the colors for this comic. Hopefully, it makes justice to the original song (I did have to cut some of the lyrics out because it didn’t really fit in with the rest of the story)

The sillies ever

This is from Nao's headcanon!

Redraw of that scene in season 3

-

Xiaotian was a strange little thing, where other human babies would whimper and cry at the sight of the celestial monkey Xiaotian would just coo curiously up at him.

Macaque had just taken the baby into his care a few days ago and was admittedly still unsure of him. Don't get him wrong, he had no ill will towards Xiaotian but they were still strangers to each other.

It was one night when it seemed like nothing could calm the little boy down. He wasn't hungry or soiled or anything and the king was utterly clueless to what he needed.

"Shh, Shh Xiaotian," Macaque's hushed voice was nearly pleading, "Everything's OK."

Xiaotian only cried out in the monkey's arms, the subtle rocking motion having no effect. Macaque thought back to the baby monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain and how their mothers would soothe them but it would seem that human babies were more.. temperamental.

Macaque didn't notice how his multiple ears twitched in thought but Xiaotian did, cries quieting to focus on the delicate movements.

Macaque's thoughts screeched to a halt to look down at the boy reaching up curiously and chuckled softly.

"Do you like that, Xiaotian? Here watch this,"

Macaque fluttered his ears making some effort to make them glow. Xiaotian's red-rimmed eyes widened at the sight before his face crinkled in delight and started to laugh. A sweet sound that seemed to spark something bright in the king.

Some deep dark part of Macaque's heart that was thought to be shriveled in his chest suddenly bloomed, warmth spreading to the ends of his limbs.

Macaque mirrored the boy's giggles and found himself nuzzling the Xiaotian's cheeks with his own making the baby only laugh harder.

It was then he knew he'd protect Xiaotian, the strange little thing who seemed to shine as a star, with his dying breath

Guys I should be the one that make you cry over this au not the opposite
