Lovingly Led To Ruin - Tumblr Posts

Cover Description:

The cover for "Lovingly Led to Ruin," a Lego Monkie Kid AU, features the ominous figure of the Lady Bone Demon (LBD) seated on an imposing bone throne topped with a skull. She wears a sly smirk on her face, exuding an air of malevolent confidence.

To her right, Wukong leans casually against the throne, his eyes glowing an unnatural blue, signaling that he is under the control of LBD. On the opposite side, Macaque mirrors Wukong's stance, leaning against the throne with the same acid-blue eyes, indicating his own ensnarement by LBD's power.

The two simians lock eyes across the throne, a complex mixture of positive emotions passing between them. There’s an undeniable intensity in their gazes, hinting at a connection deeper than mere friendship *wink wink*.

The background features a hauntingly beautiful full moon, casting a pale glow over the scene. Just beneath the moon, the top of the Skull Armor is visible (the one from the Season 3 Finale), with its intricate structures and jagged spikes adding to the ominous atmosphere of the cover. The combination of the moonlight and the sharp silhouettes creates a dramatic contrast, highlighting the dark and mysterious tone of the artwork (or at least I hope it does :])

All Panels: LBD appears behind Wukong, her presence looming ominously. She looks down at Macaque with a menacing expression, saying, "Well, what do we have here? My old Champion... How delightful."
Top-Left: Lady Bone Demon continues speaking with a clear tone of irritation and annoyance, saying, "It seems you always stand in the way of Destiny, whether you are free or not."

Top-Right: Macaque, who is still being held by the throat by Wukong and looks nervous, responds with a fake smile, "What can I say? I live for drama."

Bottom-Left: LBD's smirk widens as she retorts, "Oh, is that so? Well then, I promise you’ll absolutely adore what I have in store for you."

Bottom-Right: Liuer becomes visibly more nervous and replies, "I'm not sure you could top my first death; it was quite a theatrical one."
Top-Panels: The LBD starts laughing maniacally. Macaque can do nothing but look at her confused, nervous and bewildered.

Bottom-Left: The Bone Spirit responds in with fake sweetness, "Oh no,no. Killing you would be far too merciful..."

Bottom-Right: She continues, " For your repeated defiance, you'll have the privilege..."
All Panels: "...of joining Sun Wukong in his fate." The Lady Bone Demon finishes her sentence with manic glee. Macaque can do nothing but stare at her in horrified realization. 
Wukong, still possessed, narrows his eyes ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly.

All Panels: Wukong, still under LBD's control, raises the sigil circle before him, and as he does, a few whispering spirits begin to leave his body. They drift towards the sigil, then swiftly shoot forward, targeting Macaque. The Warrior, bound and helpless, watches in horror, struggling against his restraints to no avail.
Top Panel: As the spirits invade his soul, Macaque is overwhelmed by searing pain, his agonized screams filling the air.

Bottom Panels: The chains restraining him snap, having fulfilled their purpose, and Macaque collapses, unconscious, as he falls forward.
All Panels: Lowering the sigil, Wukong regains a sliver of his free will—some of the spirits no longer controlling him. Realizing what he's done and seeing Macaque fall, he cries out in shock, calling his name.
Left Panel: Wukong catches Macaque just before his hat touches the ground, cradling him in his arms, worry etched onto his face.

Right Panel: LBD, watching with interest, remarks, "How  intriguing... splitting the whispering spirits between two bodies seems to allow for a sliver of... autonomy. Not ideal, but a small price to pay, if it means having two powerful forces to drive destiny forward."

LBD side-eyeing Mac and Wukong in your AU:

LBD Side-eyeing Mac And Wukong In Your AU:

PFFFF--- No because yes Imagine the victorious feeling of finally securing not one, but two champions, fully aware of their mutual hatred stemming from past clashes. You’ve prepared yourself to deal with their rivalry, ready to punish them if they dare disobey your orders for the sake of fighting each other. Confident in your strategy, you execute your plan, convinced you’ve considered every possible outcome— And then this happens

LBD Side-eyeing Mac And Wukong In Your AU:

Now, you're left utterly baffled, watching as they jeopardize missions not out of spite but because they’re too busy flirting--

Whole Panel: A mysterious temple, likely located in the celestial realm, looms within a thick white fog. Towering, ominous pillars line both sides of the stairs leading to the temple. Behind two of the pillars, on the left and right, Wukong (left) and Macaque (right) can be seen, both possessed and lurking, waiting for their moment to approach the temple's entrance.
Top Panels: The temple's entrance comes into view as a possessed Macaque uses his shadow abilities to slip closer. Upon reaching the door, he emerges from the shadows, summoning a lockpicking spell in the form of a glowing magical circle, pressing it against the entrance.

Bottom Panel: Wukong, still by the pillars, scans the surroundings with his gold vision, looking for any threats. He speaks, "E.T.A. for potential threats is 4 minutes. How long do you think you'll need?"
Top Panels: Macaque, the glowing blue magic circle still pulsing in his hand as he presses it to the door, replies, "Around... 3 minutes." He shivers as an unnatural chill courses through him.

Bottom Panel: Noticing Macaque’s pause and the shiver, Wukong turns to glance over his shoulder, concern etched on his face. "... Are you alright?"

Top Panels: Macaque turns his head slightly, flashing a smirk as he reassures, "I'm fine. It's just the protection spell of this place trying to dissuade me from lockpicking the door, but I can withstand a little cold."

Bottom Panel: Wukong, still eyeing Macaque with concern, replies, "If you say so," before shifting his focus back to scanning the area for any approaching threats.
Top-left Panel: Minute 1: Wukong stands rigid, clearly uncomfortable, as he tries to remain patient while Macaque works on the lock.

Top-right Panel: Minute 2: Wukong is now visibly anxious, glancing repeatedly at Macaque, who's starting to shiver, heightening Wukong's worry.

Bottom-left Panel: Minute 2.5: Wukong grows impatient, his tail twitching as Macaque struggles against the cold. Liu’er can be heard grumbling in the distance, while Wukong’s attention wavers, making it harder for him to focus on his task.

Bottom-right Panel: Macaque flinches in surprise as Wukong suddenly yells, "OKAY, THAT'S IT!"
Left Panel: Macaque turns with a startled expression, unsure what's happening behind him.

Right Panel: Mihou begins saying Wukong's name, only to be cut off as he gets grabbed by the arms, consequently getting yanked away from the magical circle. The lockpicking sigil flickers and fades as he moves.

All Panels: Wukong snuggles into Macaque's neck, wrapping him in a back embrace. Macaque, after shaking off the initial surprise, turns his face to the King and says, "Uh—Wukong? You do know I won’t be able to unlock the door in time now, right?" Wukong, unbothered, mumbles a soft "Don’t care," without shifting from his position, pressed against Mac's side.
Top Panel: LBD watches the two monkeys through a magical transmission, her expression outraged. "What are these simians doing!?" she exclaims, clearly displeased.

Bottom Panel: The Mayor appears behind her, smiling as usual, and calmly replies, "I believe it's called physical affection, my lady. Commonly referred to as... cuddles." Lady Bone Demon stares at him in complete deadpan silence, unimpressed.
Top Panel: Back with Wukong and Macaque, Wukong looks down, a sad expression crossing his face. "If getting through that door means you have to suffer, then I'll find a better way later," he says, his voice quiet.

Middle Panel: The focus shifts to Macaque, who responds, a small smile adorning his features, "Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it suffering... but yeah, I probably should've seen this reaction coming."

Bottom Panel: Macaque opens a shadow portal beneath them, before saying "...Let's call it a day then. Not like we’re finishing this mission now, anyway."

Top Panel: Macaque, holding the present from Wukong in front of him, looks genuinely surprised, saying, "For me?"

Bottom panel: Wukong, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, replies, "I figured with the cold season rolling in..."
Top Panel: Wukong continues, "You might need warmer threads." The opened present reveals a cozy sweater with the imprint "I come to bring Destiny."

Bottom left Panel: Macaque holds the sweater, smiling warmly, "Oh, that's definitely going to make those chilly nights more bearable."

Text between panels reads: "One minute later."

Bottom right Panel: Macaque is now wearing the sweater, beaming with joy, clearly loving it. He turns to Wukong, “Thank you, Wukong!”

i love the possesed macaque and wukong series honestly. i love how they fuck up LBD's plans just by being in love. What do the two think of mk? Will there be any potential mk interaction with the two in the future?

Top Left Panel: Macaque hurries through the halls, his thoughts trailing off with, “Where else could he b—”

Right Panel: He abruptly halts at the doorframe, spotting Wukong gazing out of the window. “Oh, there you are,” he exclaims.
Macaque strides closer to Wukong, declaring, “I’ve been searching for you everywhere! For a moment, I thought—”
He’s cut off, startled slightly as Wukong murmurs, “Do you think he’ll understand?”
Now just behind Wukong, Macaque asks, “Who…?”, a serious expression on his face.
Wukong stares out at the desolate wasteland, filled with icy spikes and ruined land. “The kid... What if, even after we lay it all out for him—his destiny and everything—he still doesn’t get that we’re the good guys?”
Turning to face Macaque, his eyes glisten with tears, and his voice trembles as he asks, “What if her grace decides he’s not worth convincing?”

First of all, tysm for the kind words, lyfsanity! I'm happy you are enjoying this little AU of mine! :D Oh and I do plan on having some interactions between the two and MK! Secondly, sorry for the late reply but I really wanted to respond with some art!

On a side note, I’ve decided to switch up the format and layout of this AU for a fresh look, drawing a lot of inspiration from kyri45's and kiaonala's comics—both of which are absolutely worth checking out for their incredible art and story!! I also wanted to solve the issue of distinguishing our favorite old man yaoi duo at a glance, so now Mac has black hair and both have eyeliner to make 'em stand out! :]
