Just don't drop him, he'll crack like a glowstick
Body pillow Red son
The YouTube channel had started out as…more Xiaojiao’s other channel.
Xiaojiao had just released a new stream. Xiaotian, who had time to spare, had animated the funniest moments. When he showed it to her she insisted he post it on YouTube. And there it had lingered, occasionally being joined by new animatics. Then Xiaotian made a practice animatic for his webcomic and, in a shot in the dark, had posted it.
It had blown up, much more than the other animatics, and then it became his channel. There were more animatics and then Xiaotian started adding cooking videos, usually with Pigsy and his sister Bai He, streaming with Xiaojiao, and live speed draws.
It also drew his attention to other YouTubers, ones that were recommended next to his videos.
Like Red Son. He filmed himself repairing vintage vehicles, giving historical facts as he worked, usually wearing a tank top. The tank top, revealing muscle, had been enough to make his heart beat faster. But then the facts had truly cemented Xiaotian’s interest.
Then he had taken a look at Red’s merch shop.
There was a pillow.
A body pillow.
…
Qi Xiaotian was a gay idiot and wasted no time in buying it.
It was a decision he regretted the moment it came. But it was easy to hide underneath his covers. It raised his family’s brows when he started making his bed. But it was a secret he would keep.
Until the face reveal.
-_-
The stream had been going well until Xiaotian made the mistake of saying the names.
A question popped up.
“Who are Lady Bone and Mystic Mayor?” Xiaotian said out loud. He winced at the memory of the little hellions. “Oh, they’re my sister’s cats. We keep them out of shots because both of them are absolute demons, we’re pretty sure Lady Bone is still alive out of spite.” He looked around. Now that they had been mentioned, it had been oddly quiet.
That was never a good sign.
“I should probably check on them.” He started walking through the house, looking around. The silence had his nerves on edge. “Anyway, any other questions?”
Not in the kitchen. Not in the living room. Not in the bathroom.
Bai He’s door was firmly closed. Pigsy and Tang’s door was firmly closed as well. That left his room. “So, here’s my room,” Xiaotian said, allowing the camera to scan around. His bed was still made. “So, I can’t find Bai He’s cats, which is worrying-”
He sat down on his bed.
And, in an instant, Lady Bone popped out and zoomed out with a screech that made Xiaotian yelp. He glanced back to see Mayor Mystic slowly pad out from underneath his covers, giving what felt like a cat smile to the camera.
Leaving the body pillow of a certain redhead exposed to the world.
“Uh…” Questions were beginning to pop up, all centered around the body pillow. “That’s all sorry bye!” He closed the camera and stream with a gasp of panic. Then he pulled up his texts.
Bai He, I’m going to kill your cats.
Me and my mom were talking about monkeys in general because i was actually very confused about the whole "if you smile, generally monkeys can see it as a sign of aggression" and she explained it to me
And other than the fact that it's a "sign of aggression" because generally showing the teeth can be used as something to show anger, my mom said this
"it all depends on the type of monkey, for example for chimpanzees your whole existence is aggressive for them, they'll snap you like a dry twig."
but also it dipends on the environment the animal grew up in, my cat could easily mistake my smile as a sign of aggression but dosen't because he grew up knowing how humans show emotions and can distinguish between them, a wild monkey for example can't know about it.
So this means that Sun Wukong won't actually find a smile aggressive, he grew up around humans and mortals and he can distinguish, but i like to think that sometimes he still does because he forgets, he did spent 500 years only around monkeys. And it's nature to him? Y'know.
and for Macaque? I like to think that he sees it as aggressive, that's it. No in-between. No "what if".
He smiles himself to show that he is not friendly, unlike wukong who does smile often to show that he is the opposite of aggressive, he makes sure not smile with his teeth with his monkeys though, his smile is way more intimidating than a human one.
Just
Silky monkey fact i guess

Shadow play it’s such a funny and sad episode.
The sad part: Mk found himself alone and didn’t though that his friends would have been captured or in danger because he fully believed they abandoned him after realising that he wasn’t good enough. Just like Monkey King did, just like the hero abandoned the warrior.
And that’s just depressing.
And the funny part: The whole episode from Macaque’s point of view.
Imagine waiting for your enemy to realise you captured his loved ones and panic, and he just fully accepts that everyone who loves him abandoned him, and now he’s completely depressed and comes back every day (for a whole week at less) to watch your fake silly show.
Like, what do you??
Do you talk to him, do you ask him to leave, do you show yourself, do you keep going???
Wukong come back, your confidence it’s not contagious-

Loki "I need to do something nice with my hair and to pick my outfit 2 weeks in advance and have accessories that accentuate my monochrome pallete better and to set an alarm 2 hours before the date so I can get ready" Odinson
Mantis (Mandy or Mai Tiến in this au at least) "I can put together something cute and different to shake things up, it's my first ever date and that's special!! I can't go anywhere without my headphones but maybe a bow will make it date appropriate" Brandt
Bucky "Band tee that don't stink yet" Barnes
Steve "Last fashion magazine I've seen was my grandpa's and ever since then I decided that I've seen enough" Rogers
Tech Turn = "sharp [turn] with zero thruster pull"
Tech Hug = Tech placing his hand on your shoulder
Examples:
Note #1: a Tech Hug is distinct from a 'Mega-Tech Hug, which involves short little Omega wrapping her arms around Tech's waist and trying to squeeze as tightly as Wrecker does, while Tech affectionately and awkwardly pats her back (examples exist in headcanon and artwork such as this from the talented @doodlingfoolishness :)
Note #2: a Tech Hug is also distinct from a Tech Twirl -
- and Tech Talks -
- and your general, everyday Tech Saves.
one of my favorite tropes tbh, please feel free to add more examples
