im Twip! you can find my main blog here!> @twipsai
you can find my ao3 here!> 🔆🔆🔆
these stupid monkeys have taken over my god damn life. so! side blog! (i never make these so, im probably gonna be bad at it) (divider credit!)
this is mainly a side blog for lego monkie kid, but ill definitely be posting about journey to the west as well, since i was a jttw fan before i was a lmk fan lol. ill also probably post some snibbits from the book and liveblog about it as i go through it! the tag for that is "#live journeying west"
as is the case with my main blog, all my art will be in the tag "#twip draws". ill also be reblogging it to my main with the tag for organizations sake
any analysis i post will simply be under the "#analysis" tag
general warning for this blog - i will make a lot of posts/art about suicide! its part of the story, and its extremely important to MK and Wukongs arcs. i will not be tagging every mention of suicide, because not only am i forgetful, im kinda lazy. so this is your warning, if thats something that upsets you, no judgement! but you might wanna steer clear
JOURNEY TO THE WEST PROGRESS METER: book 2 out of 4, chapter 34 out of 100

im feeling brave so ill share a hot take: i don't like when people call wukong, or macaque, or any other characters mk's dads. mk already has a dad, and i think it does a disservice to their relationship to call other characters his dads.
no shade to the people who do like those headcanons, especially since before season 4 mk doesn't have any acknowledgement of parents outside of one dadsy joke in sleep bug, but i will not portray this dynamic in any of my works and request that no one project these headcanons onto them.
so first off, again: mk already has a dad and it's pigsy.
the only other character i'm fine calling mk's dad is tang because freenoodles is heavily implied within the show, tang has been around since mk was a toddler, and sees himself as a "bit of a father figure" to mk too.
season 5 making the "many dads" joke (in imo the episode with the worst characterization of the cast we've seen in the entire show, sorry but it's genuinely the only episode i can't rewatch) boils my blood because the last season had several scenes with mk saying no, i already have a dad, it's not monkey king. its acknowledging a fandom joke instead of sticking true to character :,)
not to mention, we all know wukong (and macaque!) would be?? a pretty terrible father??? i dont know why so many people are so ready to make these other characters a dad when they have so many other issues they need to work through before they could even think about handling parenthood. like its actually a pretty good thing they arent his dad!
the other dad headcanons also do a disservice to the time pigsy (and likely tang, as a second father or not) spent raising mk and Stepping Up to this unexpected responsibility. pigsy couldve said no and turned mk in as an abandoned baby, but instead he took on the challenge of raising a kid he knew nothing about.
yes, there is a whole discussion to be had about mk and pigsy not calling each other father and son for the first 3 season—i can and will get into why i think that happened (narratively and on the production side) if anyone really wants to hear my thoughts—but pigsy still stepped up. he still calls mk his son and mk still calls him his dad. no one else.
with all this in mind, any of my sunburst, soysauce or other duo posts will never be paternal. i view wukong and mk as some sort of messed up not-quite sibling dynamic, where they're related and similar to siblings but the exact relation is unclear. and i think it works for them! i think ambiguous family dynamics are interesting.
its 3:35 am as i start this so preemptively ignore me if i sound like an idiot at any point, im rambljng
absolutely no shade to wukong is mks dad headcanoners!!! i just like personally dont see it? so any sunburst you see on my acc is always meant to be viewed in a more brothers type of light. let me cook.
i dont think wukong would want or be near ready to have a child bro. and if he was ready,, that child wouldnt be mk. tbh in this way if wukong was to eventually have kids id see it like peter and miles in itsv+atsv. the “im so proud of you :D! maybe i do want kids :|.” and the “i thought if i raised her right she’d be like you” both of these are quoted wrong for sure but like fr cut me some slack </3
wukong calls mk “kid” but like. speaking from mks pov, hes not one. sure to a lifespan like wukongs, mk was like. just born. but mk is an adult, at least (has to be 18+ to have a drivers license, but im like pretty sure hes in his early 20s). mk is grown up, and while he obv still needs a parental figure, wukong isnt, and has never been that.
its a disservice tbh to pigsy and tang raising him and being there for him and each other for his whole life to say that wukong, who like. just got here btw,, and immediately started jacking up everyones lives (no one hates wukong like people whos fav chr is wukong /lhj. i love him so much. but oh my god) is a father figure to mk. certainly hes someone mk looks up to, but he hasnt been there for mk. theyve both grown up completely separate, and while they absolutely are bff brother bestie bonded 4 life Noowww, well i mean . that clearly was not always the case.
hell, wukong didnt even want anything to do w him in s1 😭 hed pat him on the head go uuuhhh. believe in yourself…guy. and mk just would HSJDKGKG
also also even if its played off as a joke, the show does explicitly say “monkey kings not my dad. pigsys my dad!”
imo i just see them as the brotherly “ill do it if you do it” bickery mischievous creatures dynamic ,, theyre stupid but theyre stupid ✨🌈together🌈✨ i love them dearly. also im not posting this to argue LMAO idc if people view them as parent child, im just saying i personally dont.
