Thank you!! Im glad you like my art hehehehehe. I did my best with the prompt, was a little confused on what i could do but i did my best.

Also bonus:

Someones been making friends without parents permission 🧍

Let's talk about the Samadhi Fire and it's connection to Sun Wukong.

(thank you to @animemoonprincess for starting this ily sis what the fuck)

Firstly: Sun Wukong has trauma related to fire and smoke. In JTTW, he's set to burn inside a furnace for forty-nine Heavenly days, which is the equivalent of forty-nine mortal years, he's been burning and regenerating his own body for over a decade and the smoke getting in his eyes is what granted him his Golden-Eyes of Truth/True Sight. This trauma follows him when he (in the book) faces Red Boy and the smoke gets in his eyes, causing him to have a panic attack and flee to the nearest river to wash the smoke out of his eyes.

Now, the Samadhi Fire in canon-lore is one of the only weaknesses Sun Wukong has; it's one of the few things that can actually kill him.

In Episode 6, it's confirmed that the Samadhi Fire was in fact inside of Red Son in his youth, activated by the user being struck (hence why Red Son was hitting himself while laughing) and DBK, Nezha and Sun Wukong were the ones to seal it away. DBK confirms that they were chosen for their bodies as they were deemed "most likely to survive" during the ritual.

However in Episode 9 we see that Sun Wukong had made a mistake: during the ritual, he joked in front of the fire and proceeded to be injured due to being distracted and the fire struck him near his face (his eyes) and collapses, which is what allowed for the small bit of fire to escape and strike Ao Lie. And although he brushes it off later — the scene does its damage when taking into consideration that Sun Wukong has trauma in terms of fire and smoke. No one else knows of this, however. He never voices his trauma, concerns or fears (even in the opera episode his stage fright is brushed aside and he's forced to go onstage by Xiaotian) and there's no one anyone could have known that him being struck by the fire would be one of the things that could, potentially, kill him.

It doesn't help that Sun Wukong's own fall was seen as a pathetic act by the others or just straight up ignored:

Back to a previous statement: DBK confirmed that their bodies were chosen for this ritual, meaning they had asked Wukong to take a part of it and he agreed. He accepted it (seemingly without pause) and then tried to play it off as a joke when the fire had struck him. Mind you, Sun Wukong is strong enough to withstand several attacks and strikes from multiple things, even in his fight with DBK he hardly falters and manages to defeat him, but the fire can hurt him enough to make him fall.

Moving forward he confirms in Episode 10 that he was going to put the fire inside of him. Him trailing off and adding "or.. something" is not him not having a solid ideal: he knew the fire could potentially kill him. Voicing that out loud wouldn't have helped him at the moment but it did cause everyone to call him stupid and even Nezha and Xiaotian add in that it was a terrible plan.

It was't a stupid plan, it was a sacrificial one.

Sun Wukong was willing to possibly kill himself with this weapon to try and defeat the Lady Bone Demon and wanted to remove the ring from inside Xiaojiao without killing her, it's why he didn't want them to start the ritual without him, he was going to explain it all at the top, but with Macaque's interruption and Nezha's fight he wasn't able to get there in time.

I want to finalize this with the fact that Sun Wukong's trauma is directed in his eyes and, of course, his head due to the circlet. But the main point is that the fire struck him in the eyes during the ritual.. not to mention he saw Xiaotian run into the fire while trying to calm down Xiaojiao.

Nezha: The fire should have turned her to ashes by now.

Sun Wukong is facing away from the camera, he probably already knew this. And he going to do that to himself.

this is so sweet 🥺🥺🥺
