Monkey Gang Sends Reader A Letter

The lurker anon reappears! Thank you for answering my questions, and I’d love to hear the backstory of your macaque theme!

Also, I forgot to label myself. Silly me. Mmm 🤔… perhaps peach🍑 anon if it’s free? Because- unrelated to the cute and cheeky monkey man- I really, really love peaches!

YOO hello again!! And yeah, 🍑 anon is free!! I haven't tried eating peaches but they look so aesthetic,, the only peach flavored thing i tried was a peach drink and i ordered it PURELY bcs of LMK HHAHSHSAH

time for some blog lore..... THIS IS GONNA BE KINDA LONG AND RAMBLY SO BE WARNED-

Before this account was made, I actually had a different tumblr account for personal use (I never log into it anymore though lol) instead of writing. I was in the LMK fandom at the time, so I was reading x reader fics EVERYWHERE I could, from wattpad to tumblr to ao3.

And wouldn't you know it, when I was scrolling through the tags on tumblr I saw someone promoting their newly written fic they made on ao3!! I read it, loved the premise, and left a kudos and a comment (I think I left a comment? I'm not sure, I was a lurker as well when it came to reading HSDHSD).

Not too long after, I was scrolling through their blog and saw a post of them asking for any possible writing friends to interact. I thought 'hey!! i can write!!' and promptly sent them a dm. We chatted over our brainrot of the stinky monkeys and we grew to be pretty close writing buddies!! I even got to come up with a ship name for a pairing in the fic (the pairing was Macaque and Y/n, and Y/n in the fic was a baker, so I proposed the ship name 'Mooncake'. Still super proud of that ngl!! I'm pretty sure I made one for Wukong and Y/n too, but I forgot what it was </33 Mooncake was just so iconic to me).

We bounced off ideas from each other, and I sent them posts about Wukong (they were a Wukong Apologist and honestly, slay), and one of them actually managed to influence their characterization for him in a later chapter!! I was even writing my own LMK x reader fic at the time, and while I gave up on it after a while, they were the first person to ever read the first few paragraphs and gave me their thoughts.

Eventually, I had an urge to make a whole blog dedicated to x reader writings because I was inspired by them to make one, and when I told them they told me to go for it!!

Here's where the important bit comes in: This person's blog was themed around Sun Wukong. They're a Monkey King lover, they fucking love that stupid smelly monkey man!! So I told them "hey wouldnt it be funny if my blog was Macaque themed so we could match?" and they went "DUDE"

And boom!! That's the reason why my blog is Macaque themed!! I went through a LOT of custom tumblr themes (you know where you open someones blog and instead of being the regular tumblr blog layout its a totally new one that they customized themselves? Yeah that was me), meanwhile my friend just stuck to a simple 'Wukong pfp + header and orange background'. I think that matched our character themes really well HAHSAHSAH

Unfortunately, I'm sure that my friend is not working/active anymore. Their last post on tumblr was them apologizing for the lack of updates because of art school, and that was it. I don't know how long it's been since I checked up on the fic, but when I did, I found that their ao3 account was orphaned. So it's probably safe to assume that theyre not coming back to their tumblr acc either.

But still... I kept my Macaque theme. Even when my LMK interest started to fade and other media took over my brain, I refused to change it. Idk why, sentimentality I guess? It just felt wrong.

I have no idea where they are now, honestly. I just hope theyre doing okay. They were a super cool person, and I loved their fic and I loved talking to them and I loved being their friend!! Even if they probably wont see this post, I just want them to know how much of an impact they had on me. It was because of them I made this account, and got into writing requests and fics. And even if that didn't work out, they got me back to writing in general! They were an awesome person and they deserve everything good in life!!

Augugh this got sentimental... My bad!! Ngl, I've been secretly waiting for someone to ask me why my blog was Macaque themed, but the chance of that happening was really slim so I held the Blog Lore™ in. BUT NOW I CAN FINALLY SAY WHAT IVE BEEN HOLDING IN FOR YEARS RAHHH

Thanks for asking this, btw 🍑 anon!! Sorry if this was so rambly and long, my mind do be like that (incomprehensible to decipher sometimes). I'd love to see you pop in some more, if youd like!!

Oh!! And since ur a Wukong lover as well, you should read their fic!! It's unfinished, but I think you should give it a shot. The chapters are long, the writing style and interactions between characters are great, and the development and pining is well done!!

I realize that this sounds biased, but ermm..... IDC GO READ THEIR FIC!!! (/nf) Kudos and comment bcs they deserve it!! Even if they dont get to see it, I'd like to at least cheer them up on the off chance that they do.

Here's the fic!! And their tumblr acc too, because they make some pretty banging drawings for their writing!!

@butternut-zippersqaush

Actually i live in Brazil 🇧🇷 and to anyone new i don't speak Spanish so don't even try!♥️

-🐢 anon

damn bro brazil is wild...

the fact that you also did a note that you dont speak spanish is funny and also makes me curious bcs how many times have people asked you that question-

GaHh! Welcome back Duck! I hope exams went well for you, and that you get to enjoy a good and relaxing break!

-And yeah, when I hyperfixate on stuff, I learn everything about it XD. Sonic just happened to be one of the many hyperfixations of my childhood. Thanks to lmk, I hyperfixated on Sun Wukong and now there’s little to no content relating to him that I don’t know. It’s bad 😅.

Anyways, I really hope my rambles aren’t too annoying! You’re just really fun and nice to talk to <3

Lastly, as always, a question: What’s your favorite holiday?

-🍑 anon

RAHHHH ITS FINALLY MY CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!!!

Hopefully I get to be more active on here!! Again, sorry for the late reply </33

Yoo that was so me, too... But like, the other way around lmao. I was super into Monkey King/JTTW stuff and watched a bunch of movies about it. Monkey King Reborn, Hero is Back, etc etc. I watched those shit RELIGIOUSLY. I think I even managed to download the actual book online and read that, too.

And then that blue rat happened /affectionate

HASHSHASH yeah- I think I'm just always getting into fandoms with a stinky ass mascot. We got the stinky monkey and now a stinky hedgehog. Theyre both blorbo material and also need a shower for real.

Your rambles are never annoying! Its so nice to see someone pop in here frequently, other than some irl moots and 🐢 anon (btw 🐢 anon, if ur reading this, i hope youre doing good!!)

My favorite holiday,,, Hrmm I think this one has got to go to Christmas. Not for anything special, only because where I live, my country begins to celebrate christmas in SEPTEMBER. It's this whole thing where September hits, and people are already getting ready for christmas. We call it the 'ber months' and I think its the funniest thing ever.

Question time!! Whats a piece of fandom knowledge/trivia do you know? It could be anything!!

I hope youre doing good, 🍑 anon!! Incredibly advance Merry Christmas :]]

I still can't believe Kirby is Jesus incarnate while constantly killing other God beings

-🐢 anon

based off from my very limited knowledge on kirby...... Yeah. He's jesus alright.

If this is true then here cus i know you dont use twt

me to the writer of ROTTMNT: its been a year daddy /ref

PLEASE..... ITS BEEN 5 YEARS..... A WHOLEASS NEW MOVIE HAS BEEN RELEASED........ WHEN WILL OUR BOYS RETURN </333

@chicken-blitz13​

our turn to be his bbg

CRIES /POS

GRABS YOU BY THE SHOULDERS AND SHAKES YOU

YOU ARE SO NICE TO MEEEEEEEE EUEUEUUERURUUY

Chance to encourage another writer go brrrr /gen

I saw you did letters!! I don't see much of those- How aboooutt..

What if the reader is away on a trip, and MK/Mei (Or whoever, really. I could even see Tang being set as the designated writer by the group) is writing them letters updating them on what's going on?

Telling them who misses them, what the others have to say, etc! You could even have it be set for after certain episodes (i.e. MK's clones, Macaque's first appearance, etc), if you'd want.

P.S.

Doing this first because, SDJHHJFJHDSHJ YOU ARE LITERALLY SO NICE TO ME,,, HHH,,,

This is gonna be set after the pilot, so Reader went on their little vacation a few days before everything started! Which means they missed out on a shit ton of action-

Monkey Gang sends Reader a letter

Being on vacation wasn't all that bad, really. While you loved Megapolis and all your friends, you decided that some R&R was in order and left for a few days. They've been sending you letters back and forth, each updating you on whatever was going on while you were away. This time, though, you feel that you might have missed out on something major during your trip.

The letter started out normal. The moment you saw the messy handwriting and little doodles squeezed in the paper instantly made you smile. MK never changes, does he?

But then you started reading.

Hey there, Y/n! Sorry we haven't been writing to you that much, but a lot happened while you were away! Not sure if you heard, but the city was under attack recently-

Your frown, a pinch of worry pooling in your chest. Did something bad happen while you were gone? Was everyone okay?

Don't worry, though! Everyone's a-ok!

You breathe a sigh of relief.

The city got destroyed, but other than that, everything's fine!

You jolt. The city got what?

Everyone else misses you a whole bunch. Especially after what happened! You missed a lot while you were away! Pigsy said something about telling you about everything when you get home, but I think I should say it now, just to give you a heads up.

A sense of foreboding seeps into your mind. Oh god, this won't be good.

While the city was getting destroyed, I found this super cool magical staff! I found it while delivering noodles and got chased by a flame demon, it was wild.

You choked.

What the hell happened while you were gone?!

But it's alright, I handled it! Turns out the staff belonged to (wait for it) THE MONKEY KING!! ISN'T THAT SO COOL?? I actually got to meet him too!! We all went to Flower Fruit Mountain to give it back, but in the end, I ended up having to save the city! Crazy right?

Your eyes widen.

... Excuse me?

Aahh, I promise I'm not messing with you!! It'll be so much easier to explain it in person, I swear!!

Pigsy said that you were coming back in a few days, I can't wait to see you again! Mei says to bring us something cool from your trip, and Tang says that he'll save you some noodles when you get back! Pigsy tells you to be safe, but he also said that he isn't just gonna give you noodles for free (I think he's lying though).

We're all so excited to see you home!! We love you :D

Sincerely, MK (The new Monkie Kid!!)

You slump backwards after reading the letter, shock settling into your bones. After processing what the hell you just read, an unsure (but hopeful) smile grows on your face.

Well, at least you'll have some wild stories once you get back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sort of different than a usual letter, but I wanted to try this out and test the waters! Hope you like it!!

Short Sonic comic by manga/doujin group CLAMP from 1994

This short comic was featured in the anthology doujin "CLAMP in Wonderland 1994." This doujin is mostly known for the infamous short story where Kakyoin from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure lays an egg.

If you're in the Jojo fandom and always wondered why Sonic is on the cover of that doujin, this is why.
