i bullied my friend into showing me 17jttw yesterday (i loved it, to her distaste) so today we looked for fanart/fic that would play with the blatant tension between wukong and xuanzang in the movie and were honestly FLABBERGASTED to find this 33chapter behemoth! the first chapter is already sooo fun, i love the banter and the hints of angst and the monk being a sassy bastard... i know this hasn't been updated i na while but i'm still really excited to read what's here ^^
Hello! Ah, thanks for stopping by and sharing your comments :D I'm glad you succeeded in forcing your friend to show you jttw 17 LOL. I remember writing this because I Needed to see a long canon-compliant fic for Wukong/Xuanzang in the film, so this was born. Definitely the longest and most personal thing I've ever written on here LOL Glad you're enjoying the story so far and their banter ;)
Hope the 33 chapters can tie you over for the time being! sorry for how long it's been since the last update (pandemic caused some Serious writer's block especially for this story), but because it's almost over, rest assured that I plan to finish it, no matter how long that takes!
:O oh wow I'm so happy to hear you plan on finishing it! Hopefully you can kick the ass of that covid induced writing block!! My friend and i are definitely cheering you on! 🎉🎉🎉 💪 💪💪
And i was gonna add to my og comment that right at the start i was also seriously struck by the tenderness wukong shows when xuanzang is passed out.... And how telling the line about this way being easier is, haha. Really nice characterisation!
Thank you both so much :'D I really hope I can finish this thing in the near future!! And thank you for the additional comment (and ALL your comments actually) about this story! So happy that these moments are sticking with you :)
P.S Thanks again for showing me your AMAZING art!! Was such a great surprise to see and I honestly loved your drawings so much!
Awh, I'm glad you liked it! And now that my friend (frozenladybug) has posted (part of!) her fanart as well, I can gush you about it without fearing I'd ruin the surprise X) Honestly she's so skilled and such a workaholic, if it wasn't for the MDZS animatic she's labouring over right now, she'd probably be halfway into a custom animation for some scene or other from this fic...
Ah, and speaking of tumblr, I remembered that the ask I sent you never came through - it was mostly just me trying to put into words how amazingly lovely it was to see your tags on my fanart! You're always leaving these lengthy compliments on your blog and you're so verbose about it and I tend to forget all my english vocab when it comes to commenting on someone's work!! But yeah, seeing your warm responses really made my day(s), thank you.
And btw, I may or may not have just been looking up ancient chinese undergarments just to get them somewhat right in another piece inspired by this fic... sorry if it's a bit overwhelming HAHA but my friend drawing fanart always motivates me to draw my own and we end up in an inspiration loop X)
I said it before and I'll say it again- you and frozenladybig are TRULY spoiling me with your fantastic art! You're both so skilled and talented and I just LOSE it whenever I see your jttw art. I doubly lose it whenever I see that it's of this fic too. And you guys somehow manage to interpret each scene exactly as I imagined! I'll probably die if I ever see a full-on animatic, but it'd be a worthy death.
You deserved all the tags and more!! I actually feel like I'm not being verbose enough haha. I'm glad you like them! Like I said, I really really wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the time and skill you put into the art, and I do think fanartists deserve the same amount of praise fanfic comments get, if that makes any sense? Like, I try to gush about art the same way I gush about a story because the time and effort is something I really admire :)
OMG ancient Chinese undergarments. Well, color me intrigued EYES.emoji. Can't wait to see what part of this fic inspired that asdfasdf And not overwhelming at all! The total opposite! Seeing your and frozenladybug's fanart also makes me remember why I wrote this in the first place, and I sincerely hope the inspiration loop keeps going until it bounces some of that motivation into my brain too :D
OH haha the undergarments googling was actually for the river scene drawing from ch12! Can't even see much lol but i had a jolly old time going down a rabbithole of hanfu blogs anyway. Man, that chapter really did capture my heart for a solid few days... Thw tenderness on display!! Before everything went to shit again!!!
I'm on vacation now (arguably an ill-advised one, but my mom insisted and i have not a single assertive bone in my body) and haven't had time to draw much, but once I'm back it's gonna be another deluge of fanart...... FLB and i have been going absolutely bonkers over our trashy little modern au, and there's still a scene or three i want to draw from ch15 and 16 before moving on 👀 much to do!
Oohh so that's what the undergarments were for hahaha! You did a great job with it! I'm glad ch. 12 satisfied you for a moment at the very least :') Enjoy your vacation! And please know that I appreciate your (and FLB's) art from the very bottom of my heart. Also your little modern au is amazing and speaks directly to my suntang soul. I appreciate everything you've drawn, but if you decide to do something for 15/16 as well, I'll be delighted to see it :D
