Another Silly Purple Asshole To Add To My Collection

Hello, IDK if you ever drew this, but can we get monkey Mk please?

I’ve drawn him quite a bit. MK is one of my favorite characters to draw, I love giving him a bold strong face with big goofy eyes

I can just see Erlang holding up monkey form MK and just

"Is this actually yours?" To wukong

And wukong just "what did he do?"

"Absolitely nothing how is he not fucked up yet?"

Mk: I am very fucked up but I just cry a lot

Or some variation of that

Erlang: I thought Nu Wa made this one

Wukong: mine tho

Erlang: bro

Wukong: bro

Erlang:

Wukong:

Erlang: free nephew?

Wukong: free nephew

MK: perish :D

Erlang: i love him already

I've heard that Wukong has a heart of gold (literally), as well as iron lungs, and a metal spine from being in Lao Tzu's furnace and eating molten Copper from Guan Yin and was wondering if this is true.

Monkey states that in ch. 34:

When old Monkey caused great disturbance in the Celestial Palace five hundred years ago and was refined for forty-nine days in the eight trigram brazier of Laozi, the process in fact gave me a heart strong as gold and viscera hardy as silver, a bronze head and an iron back, fiery eyes and diamond pupils (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 2, p. 131).

The legend of his adamantine body predates the 1592 JTTW. For instance, Sun claims the following in the early-Ming zaju play:

I plundered Laozi’s gold Pill of Immortality, and have endured so many alchemical transformations that my muscles are brass, my bones iron, my eyes fire, my pupils gold, my asshole lead and my prick is pewter (Ning, 1986, p. 142). 

Another example comes from the 13th-century JTTW. He is referred to as the the “Bronze-Headed, Iron-Browed King of the Eighty-Four Thousand Monkeys of the Purple Cloud Grotto on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits” (Wivell, 1994, p. 1182). And the story ends with the Tang Emperor Taizong enfeoffing him as the “Great Sage Steel Muscles and Iron Bones” (Wivell, 1994, p. 1207).
