the girls been there since season 1, Angelica and Iris being more in the background and then with An Lian first appearing in S2 episode Dumpling destruction, well at the end at least.
Other facts: An Lian loves snakes, when he was little and before he was trapped, he used to have a bunch of pet snakes.
Iris doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, which is kinda funny.
Arrow has 4 names, 2 being in English and the other two in Chinese
Angelica used to take ice skating lessons before modeling and commercials took up her time.
I used the ibis paint x animation feature, using my lmk oc Wisper! ✨🌊

A reminder because I feel like this has to be said sooner or later. We all know and we still miss Billy Kametz. But please take consideration with the new VA of Macaque and be welcoming and respectful towards them.
So pls don’t harass the new VA.
Rottmnt
dadrius reunion huh
extra:
How many layers of ‘glamour’ does Macaque have?
We know that Macaque is using magic to hide his blind eye since we briefly saw it in S1EP9
However there is a chance that Macaque is changing his appearance even more than just covering up his blind eye
During S3EP8 ‘Benched’ we briefly see Macaque’s tail turn white before turning back to black & this has caused some debate on whether or not Macaque actually has white fur since there are white furred Macaque’s & previous interpretations of Macaque such as Monkey King 2009 have depicted him with more of a white furred shade
So there is the possibility that Macaque could have white fur but is using another layer of glamour to cover it up though since we saw his blind eye in season one a lot of people have argued that Macaque doesn’t have another layer of glamour usually & that the white fur we saw was from LBD’s influence on Macaque in season 3.
Whether Macaque is naturally white furred or not though in season 3 it’s possible he had two layers of glamour one to cover his blind eye and one to cover his white fur but there’s also a possibility of a third layer of glamour.
For his six ears
Despite introducing himself as the Six Eared Macaque & LBD also referring to him under the same title we’ve never actually seen Macaque’s six ears though the shows team say that Macaque’s reaction to Pigsy’s singing is a reference to his six ears & keen hearing.
There’s been some debate on whether Macaque actually has six ears since we didn’t see them when we saw his blind eye & the argument that people have made is that the six ears are metaphorical since there’s a chance that Macaque’s ‘six ears’ are actually a pun based off an old Buddhist sayings of “The dharma is not to be transmitted to the sixth ear [i.e. the third pair/ person]”. A ‘sixth ear’ refers to an extra person in a private conversation, someone possibly eavesdropping or listening in & Macaque is said to have exceptional hearing.
Macaque being called the Six Eared Macaque because he has the ability to constantly be 'the sixth ear’ or third party listening in on peoples conversations.
Those that believe that Macaque had come from Monkey King representing his ‘evil side’ think that Macaque’s six ears are actually a reference to the six desires a concept found in some Buddhist and Taoist writings & those desires are things that Sun Wukong had to cast aside in order to achieve true enlightenment.
However in the show there is a chance that Macaque does literally have six ears that he’s hiding since he has at least one lego figure which were given six ears & the season 3 concept art showed him with six ears as well
So there is a chance that Macaque has six ears in the show but is just covering them up though that has led to some debate on why he revealed his blind eye in S1EP9 but not his ears even though he introduced himself as the Six Eared Macaque. The debate may continue until we actually see Macaque’s six ears in the show itself.
So as it stands it’s possible that Macaque is using three layers of glamour:
One to hide his blind eye
Another to hide his white fur (debatable since the white fur could have been caused by LBD
A final one to hide his six ears
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
Costume change ✨✨
MK and Mei seem to be the type to do really early Christmas ngl XD
finally put some thought into how my family au would actually work- The explosion of Draxums lab was a lot more destructive, and Drax ended up getting trapped under some rubble,
Lou Jitsu’s a hero after all, and heros save people! (theres a lot more than that but this is the shortened version) also reason drax isnt imminently fighting- mans literally just got crushed and theres no way he dont have a concussion- aka he woozey as hell,
Ever wonder how long Wukong must’ve mourned Macaque
1) "Huh, yeah, that's a monkey alright"
2) Cute Gremlin
3) Fury Bait
4) "Wait a minute! That's not a monkey! That's a hot dude!"
We should make a diagram about it

Some of my of the Wukong and Sanzang pairs that I remember most.
Edit: Added the dates of their respective versions.
I give you a silly new au that is just, Macaque is in need of a job after the whole LBD fight, and decides to use that as a brand new opportunity to piss Wukong off,,,It works
WELCOME BACK TO KNOX RAMBLES ABOUT THAT MONKIE SHOW AND CALLS IT AN ANALYSIS, THIS TIME FEATURING
MACAQUE AND HOW HIS PERCEPTION OF MK EFFECTS THEIR DYNAMIC (briefly) AND HOW THE WAY IT CHANGES EFFECTS HIS CHARACTER GROWTH (in more detail)
Alright, so, getting right into it: Macaque doesn’t really see Mk as a person at the start.
It’s “…nothing personal!” because he has no personal connection to Mk at this point. Sure he might think he’s funny, might even enjoy training him in a weird way, he even says he’s a good kid,
but he’s Sun Wukong’s student and a stepping stone to get to his Mentor and nothing more.
