Rude?

Cosmic Imitation

Bending over, he cried, "Grow!" and at once grew to be ten thousand feet tall, with a head like the Tai Mountain and a chest like a rugged peak, eyes like lightning and a mouth like a blood bowl, and teeth like swords and halberds. The rod in his hands was of such a size that its top reached the thirty-third Heaven and its bottom the eighteenth layer of Hell.

for the DTIYS by @lavaflowe!! it was such an awesome concept, I just had to get a bit daring with the perspective :D had to get some photobashing going close to the end though but it worked out well!

I exchanged the skullcap bowl for a gourd, since Wukong is often represented in religious statues as holding one or an immortal peach. The headdress was inspired by Beijing opera, but the mirror was borrowed from Lion Dance costumes. The mirror on their heads is meant to repel bad energies. The tiger pelt kilt is a classic of course, and a symbol of a protective deity. The long draping tail and staff supporting the heaven was my way of giving an awing sense of scale and of his reach. The symbols in the sky is the Chinese star map. And it's hard to tell, but the mountains in the distance are the other three Continents in the JTTW cosmology.

My friend reminded me of one of my favorite images on the internet ever

From the chapter The Strange Family ^^

Also. The babies personalities - whos a mammas child? A daddys child? Whos the most like their parent? Whos their favorite aunt/uncle/cousin? Whos the best fighter? Whos the sibling you dont wanna see mad— YES THIS IS A LOT MY BRAIN HAS EXPLODED FOR BABIES

Yuebei Xing is a daddy's girl, she is her father's giant, god slaying baby and princess of the mountain and he loves her. Despite the teasing of her appearance sometimes, she is well loved by the community, especially if her family has anything to say and doesn't let any of it bother her in any case as Willow calls her the most beautiful little monkey on the mountain, her 'Little Comet' as she still calls her even into her adulthood. A balance of her mother's poise and her father sense of rightful vindication when wrong.

Jidu and Luohou are the twins and are as different as night and day.

Jidu is an energetic boy who is definitely his father's son. Mischievous and light hearted, he is the favourite one to teach tricks to by Ba and Ma and the one Xinshu teaches the most of her combat skills to. However when things get too much or he gets too overwhelmed he knows he can go to his parent's side to calm down if he can't find his twin and thanks to their teaching knows to never push anything too far.

Luohou is a much more peaceful boy that some might dare to call lazy, more introverted than his brother he is a mommy's boy through and through. He likes to hang out with his father during meditation and Beng and Liu whilst they work because they're the most peaceful during their hours. He is a very well behaved young man and practises filial piety often in cutting up fruit for his grandmothers or simply greeting his aunt when she comes to visit. Though even with the streak of a good boy, he can't help but get into mischief with his overly energetic brother.
