Other thing is Wukong like physical touch but too much of it make him uncomfortable because of the heat. He never actually said anything about it. He think he doesn't have to because he himself didn't know it's bother him

It was his partners who pick up the sign of him. And they try to make Wukong comfortable with them

Oh yeah that’s def something that would make sense. Surprised it was never brought up in canon.

Wukong would def struggle with intimacy if the heat got to be too much, platonic or not. But the great thing about his partners is how cold they run.

Macaque always ran a bit cooler because of his shadow powers, and with syntax spiders are naturally cold blooded (and also his cold metal spider legs). So he’d be able to be around them for longer. They love clinging to him because Wukong runs warm bc of all the previously mentioend.

The only way Syntax could overpowered the King is by tickle >:)

As Wukong is very tickelish person while Syntax is not. And boy, Syntax take full abuse of it ✨ Plus his spider leg things 👀

Angst idea: Sometimes Syntax went to far and end up making Wukong uncomfortable while laughing. Wukong never tell him about that (since he didn't want Syntax to feel bad) I was Macaque who come and stop Syntax when to far.

Macaque: Stop it! You're hurting him!

Syntax: What I just-

Then he finally take a look on Wukong who laughing painfully as pain showing at his face trying to catch a breath. Wukong body is twitching hard on that. Syntax could see some tears flow down Wukong face..

Wukong:No- no..Im..I-m fine...

That is both so cute and so heartbreaking! Wukong would absolutely let syntax go too far if it made him happy. Unfortunately, Syntax would be horrified at the fact, and would probably retreat into himself. And as he likely already is a very reclusive person… yeah it wouldn’t be great.

Macaque would initially be angry, but immediately understand the situation for what it was, since Wukong likely did the same with him. Would help Wukong feel better and stuff, but would be scolding him the whole time for not setting a Boundary or a safe word or something. Wukong would try to defend himself against it, but is weak against it bc he knows Mac is right.

Poor Erlang is so confused by it all, and is wondering why one of his Platonic partners is refusing to legs his burrito nest, while the other and his lover are hashing it out.

And most people assuming he's an idiot and not recognizing his intelligence def ain't helping.

Poor baby

Yeah, if he lets them. I think a line from Bojack horseman, from the character Princess Caroline, sums up Wukongs mindset best.

“My life is a mess right now. And I compulsively take care of other people when I don’t know how to take care of myself.” - Princess Caroline.

It’s something he, sadly, shares with Mk. The fact that people downplay his intelligence doesn’t help with the slump. He works so hard only to be cut down each time. Syntax and Macaque have to practically pin him down and sit on him in order to make him rest.

It would mostly be Mac doing the pinning, since the darker simian would be more experienced. Syntax would be the one cuddling Wukong and reassuring him that those people are just the dumb ones, and that they could never understand because they could barely understand their own stupidity. (He’s not good at it, but it makes the king laugh, so it’s a win)

Erlang doesn’t really know what to do, but he’s there for moral support.

Erlang: “I had always assumed people were exaggerating. All your plans against the Jade Emperor were too calculated to be mere coincidence.”

Wukong, nested between Syntax and Macawue: “Really? 🥺”

Erlang: “Of course?? Was it not obvious??”

Yup! Thankfully back in the day the air was less polluted bc of no machinery, but the furnace was def what started it all.

Erlang feels terrible about it for days. Jing himself doesn’t feel too proud of it. Jing, thanks to his connections as a celestial nurse, is the one who helps find the right dosage for Wukong since mortal meds don’t really work.

Poor Erlang walks in eggshells until Wukong smacks him upside the head. It’s just asthma for crying out loud! Erlang tries to protest, and they get in a few tiffs when Wukong tries to over exert himself. But ultimately they come to an understanding.

Macaque isn’t suprised. He feels terrible for Wukong, But he understands that he’s not glass.

This could honestly go both ways.

Syntax using his robot leggies to suspend himself upside down, and get a cute kissy from Wukong.

Syntax like when Wukong fixing his spider leg thing. He can do it himself but he like it better when Wukong do it for him as the leg is actually biomechanic and he actually can feel Wukong's touch.

Hm yes it must feel very good. After all it’s quite sensitive. 😏

Wukong would be an absolute tease when it came to helping repair stuff like that. Maybe even be a bit mean and pull on some wires. Syntax gets his revenge by tugging on the others tail. It turns into a tugging match that they have to be separated over 🤣

Macaque: “You two are ridiculous.”

Syntax: “He started it!”

Erlang: “Monkie…”

How do they decide what the baby will call each of them?

It’s a bit complicated but basically:

Erlang: Mommy - 妈妈 (Mama)

Macaque: Dad - 爸爸 (Baba)

Wukong: Pa - 帕 (Pa)

Erlang has to deal with THREE partners doting on him!

Oooooh yeah! Oof I would love and hate it at the same time.

One partner hovering is bad enough, but three? Erlang is losing his mind! He’s so used to being independent, and hates feeling like he’s being treated like he’s fragile! It’s coming from a place of love, but you gotta remember that demons are VERY protective of their partners. It’s worse when they are expecting. Even if not lovers directly, even if just it’s just a QPR between him and Wukong + Syntax, the latter two are still terribly protective.

It’s nice in some reguards though. He has less chores, he can get them to fetch whatever cravings he has at the drop of a hat, and can get his way just by flashing his sad eyes bc they are WEAK to pregnant partner(Wukong/syntax) and mate(macaque). Erlang gets messages, and foot rubs, and just general pampering.
