XU JINGYANG IS A BITCH

wukong calls all the gods brothers- obsessed with the fact that hes the little brother in The brotherhood, the big brother in TJTTW gang and?? im assigning him middle child between the gods cause i can

i do adore that every chapter ends w smth like “idk what took place next. lets listen to the next chapter and find out.” cause
1). feels like a bedtime story (cause it is)
2). i can see tripitaka in my mind writing this out in his diary

ok but fr why do so many of these gods play devils advocate and love wukong - if i was a god and this monkey pissed me off?? and then these other gods are like “nooo hes just a lil guy. look at him. babyyyy!” i would go to war with the gold star of venus is what im saying

the macaque king (100% the six earred macaque, ive jumped, ive leaped) gives himself the title of “the Tell-tale Great Sage”
i love him

absolutely stealing the line “swallow my sword” from nezha
