[JTTW OC: 智平] Winter Blues
#he’s not happy to be out this time of year he wants to HIBERNATE#huaguoshan luckily has a shorter winter season than most but he will still find some sort of cave near a natural hot spring until it’s warm#constant war of attrition between him and wukong on staying awake during winter so they can be lovey dovey n the cold making zhiping likely#to eat him while to stay warm#cut to monkey dragging his claws down a cave wall bc he wants attention but it will be his death if he interrupts winter slumber#all this to say i needed to do a fabric study to keep up with folds and zhiping was on the brain#jttw#journey to the west#jttw oc#black myth wukong#sun wukong x oc#sun wukong x reader
[JTTW OC: 智平] i’ll let you guys figure out what horrors have befallen me today
[JTTW OC: 智平] “分桃” The Shared Peach
Originally an act of courtship, Wukong would always share a peach with the Violet Dragon, taking a single bite to ensure it was of high enough standard for him. No matter how many years pass, most mornings spent together begin with the Monkey King passing a peach with a bite taken out of it to his lover.
#did you know that 分桃 is used for gay lovers in china? you now do you’re welcome#as early as a 6th century poem!#instantly assigned it to wukong and zhiping when i deep dived into poetry a few years back#he also calls zhiping 分桃 because he’s the peach that wukong takes a bite out of the most#jttw#jttw oc#journey to the west#black myth wukong#sun wukong#sun wukong x oc#sun wukong x reader#this is a frame from the chap2 stop motion animation btw!#used my fave digital brushes for this one#nice n textured
[JTTW OC: 智平] monkey fuck around, monkey find out
#monkey thinks it’s funny to pull dragon tails but little does he know#he’s like those ‘5 year old boy pokes n prods and pulls ur hair bc he likes you’#but it is genuinely affectionate bc teasing is friendly for monkey#loves showing off how durable he is (like his contest against the 3 immortals) so he’s like yesssss swallow me whole#i will come out unscathed and i will be the strongest boyfriend#jttw#journey to the west#sun wukong#black myth wukong#oc#sun wukong x oc
[JTTW OC: 智平] Always two pretty bitches telling each-other exaaaaaactly 💜💜
men so androgynous they’re called “lady” by strangers more than “lord”
#‘we aren’t gossiping if we are making astute observations’ erlang says to comfort himself but he loves a good judgey session#high neck top bc wukong acts like a bitch in heat when his lover meets with his frenemy rival#erlang is veeery androgynous to me even tho most adaptations push him a bit more on the masculine look side a smidge#bajie was strolling past a mahjong parlour years before he was turned into a pig and was like woah…. pretty women#he found out erlang wasn’t one but held onto the fact that the purple dragon was in sheer hope#then the dragon joins the pilgrimage and turns out everyone on the team is a man#worst day of his fucking life fell to his knees by the campfire the dragon lady was a dragon lord this shit sucks#long rant over erlang and zhiping are mahjong buddies they get withdrawal if they haven’t had a game in 2 weeks#they get a lot of free drinks in mortal cities bc of their looks#artists on tumblr#digital illustration#digital art#m1nsur0#black myth wukong#journey to the west#jttw#erlang shen#oc#sun wukong x oc#sun wukong x reader
[JTTW OC: 智平] They never announced they were officially together during the journey, they just started to exclusively wear coordinated outfits and expected everyone else to get the hint.

#they r so sappy the two of them#wukong would just share a wardrobe with his bf but he’s exactly one foot shorter than his bf so he would risk tripping in precarious moment#i am a ginger wukong believer at heart (esp post furnace) but i looove the chap6 animation design#it’s a shame that the animation has his tail hidden under the tiger skin tho#anyways these 2 colour coordinate 24/7 so that you can tell they belong together#wukong always commisons hanfus that match his husband’s whenever he notices a new one#can’t get caught fashion slacking#jttw#journey to the west#sun wukong#black myth wukong#sun wukong x oc#sun wukong x reader
