Random Thought/Theory

OK so correct me if I’m wrong buuuut didn’t Spider Queen specifically have a past empire? Like she called herself the Empress of Terror…so Spider Empress real or am I reading too much into that? Whatever the case, it just occurred to me that it’s very likely (unless Wukong did his Wukong thing like he did in Journey to the West) there are survivors of the original Spider Empire somewhere. The writers didn’t expand on Spider Queen’s past, but judging by how empires are huge and people come & go I highly doubt the whole population was conveniently there for Wukong to smash to bits. So, food for thought, is it possible the Spider Queen could have spider demons living in secluded areas awaiting her return? We do have the seven Spider Demonesses from the original Journey to the West (I headcanon those were her sisters since it would make a round 8, a number often associated with spiders) so there could be spiders who didn’t live near the empire’s capital city. Judging by how Season Four looks (bleugh) we won’t be getting the answers I would need to confirm or nix this theory… …but that doesn’t stop me from writing up OCs/headcanons/story ideas for it. If anyone would like me to elaborate or has questions feel free to ask I will gladly talk at length about this, I’ve got stashes of stuff I’ve written for the Spider Queendom.
