The beginning of all ~

This king spent all the afternoon worried for the new cub, but he shouldn't underestimate his successor. He tried hard to control himself and be chill, after all /his/ the kiddo was just right playing with the young monkeys in the mountain.

For the evening he couldn't wait more, having the cub out of his sight was killing him. No one of his stuff his subjects had seen the young stone monkey...

After a quick ( really long for him) travel in the summersault he found him! His troublemaker... The poor cub looked so sad sat alone in a tree.

"Give the young ones their space" bleh. R the humans crazy? No matter if this one grew up as a human it's obvious he couldn't be left alone for much time. He must have listened to his instincts in first place instead of be fooled for a human phrase.

Or was for other age..? Hmm...

At least he's happy now ^^

... This king won't have his arms for a long time...

It's not easy to deal with a new limb, even if it makes you feel complete. People could say it gives you a better valance, that is cool, that makes you look cuter, even that could help you to drain ( in some way) your hyperactivity, etc, etc. It's nice have ones helping you to see the good things.

The problem here is, have a tail after live without one your first years of life is complicate. That stuff has its own mind!! It makes you stumble, it grabs people in different times just because, or stuff, don't forget the stuff, like now.

Being stuck in a tree during all the afternoon makes look much better spend an awkward moment trying to free your friend/rival of your tail.

He would like hug Red Son instead of being alone in a tree for hours...

You make me remember the theory that mk could lose an eye like Macaque

If that happens I think I won't be able to stay sane

So, some folks are saying S6 will follow the saying "if you don't die a hero, you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" and I mean, monkey MK hyped up on chaos magic MM. its like back in S1 when I thought Macaque's magic was corrupting MK. Considering the similarities this season to that episode, I suppose that could happen.

i mean yeah. we already saw some of that fear in s4 (see his “to pain” worry), MK’s worry about losing himself to his powers and wreaking worse havoc than his predecessor. and then in 5x04, we have monkey MK admit that MK enjoyed letting go and being consumed by it. not to mention the episode does not end with that fear being solved.

MONKEY!MK You think you can give yourself a little pep-talk and make this fear go away? MK No. But I’m going to work at it everyday.

his fears and anxiety are far from gone, and given how the season progressed, they are far from no longer taking over his mind. he is so scared of becoming a monster and losing the part of himself that makes MK, well, MK (but that gets extra hard when he learns his whole purpose of being was to sacrifice himself to end the cycle). he is so scared that his good intentions of saving the world and the people he loves will lead to the same route as LBD

even how he talks to Nuwa in 5x10 just sounds like MK finally having a rebuttal to LBD 👀

just….yeah

Hi!! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a couple days or whatever, stars above, I've been busy. HOWEVER! I finally finished That One Mk drawing!

We love baby girl!!! He's so silly!!!!

When you're autistic and your "neurotypical" bestie complains about literally every autism symptom known to man kind while also denying it, but you can't intervene since it's a canon event.

Messy doodles !

Feeling like drawing Mk's monkey form :D

Close up

Mk the Chaos King (AU/Theory)

To start this off, I need to give some context. Season four spoilers are advised. 

First off the Scrolls. The Scrolls also known as the book of death, are items used to punish criminals and well sinners. It’s a device that meant to make people reflect on their past mistakes. The ones who protect and use these scrolls are the Ten Kings. 

Each King has a different role to play. The theory is that Mk was one of them. Specifically the fifth. The fifth King is known as the son of heaven, and is the most powerful of all of the kings (from what I researched) his rank is so high is basically that next to an emperor. And I know that seems a bit extreme considering it’s Mk we are talking about. But after season four you can’t tell me this boy isn’t that powerful! 

Especially when Mk legitimately slapped Azure with is tail and caused Azure Lion (This guy who is the size and the power of the jade emperor himself) to go flying. 

(Not to mention Mk’s Chinese name Qi Xiaotain means little heaven.) 

So it’s safe to assume there is something more to Mk then just Monkey Kings Successor. 

Furthermore Mk’s flash back. I’m his flashback of very short cut memories. You can see a goddess who I am guess is the creator goddess Nuwa because she creates beings out of clay and she is holding a clay statue of Monkey Mk. 

Mk isn’t the only statue we see. There are nine others. Each a different animal: Bear, Bird, Mouse or Rat, Rabbit, Ox/Bull, Horse, Pig, Turtle, and Goat. As well as another monkey statue (but I will get into that later) 

Each that can represent a different king. Especially the Bull/Ox and Horse considering in Chinese mythology there are two underworlders who are call Oxhead and horseface.  

Now the interesting part. Mk’s title Harbinger of Chaos. This fits with him being one of the ten kings. First it’s the scroll itself. Due to Mk having no memories or no name of who he once was the only thing the scroll has anything to go off of is what he was entirely, a being of chaos. Which is exactly what the kings are. The kings are designed one person, cause chaos. They were meant to torture and plunder criminals. That’s their job, as they are originally titled the ten kings of hell. 

And Mk fits the Fifth Kings role perfectly. The fifth kings duty is to past judgement. The king gives the criminals to reflect on what they have done and then proceeds to give them karma. 

Mk has technically already done this. First the Demon Bull king. DBK was originally put under the mountain as punishment for basically becoming a tyrant ruler. When he is freed he tries to go right back to that, not learning his lesson. Mk gives him karma by remaking the exact same punishment as before as a way to basically make DBK reflect and realize that nothing has changed. Which takes two seasons for him to figure out but it still works. 

Second Spider Queen. Mk doesn’t really say anything to her speech like. However his entire presence seemed to make her reflect on her actions. And then theres the dialogue he had for Macaque. 

“I was meant to rule. I was, I would've been a good queen.”

“Well, I mean, that's definitely not true. You were in charge for like, a day, and it was, ah, it was so bad.” 

Season 2, 72 Transformations 

“Then be a warrior.” 

Season 3, Destiny Fulfilled 

Then there’s the Lady Bone Demon. Obviously there’s the magic of friendship speech he gives while also destroying her with his giant staff. But I more want to focus on their last conversation. Because I believe this wasn’t her trying to mess with him. It’s her confessing on what she did wrong. 

“So it would seem. Know this monkey, you and I are not so different. We both fight for what we think is right, that pursuit only leads to one thing.”

“, to destiny right?”

“No. To pain.” 

Season 3, Destiny Fulfilled 

This is LBD’s reflecting and confessing her sins. She believed just like Azure that she was doing the right thing. But she was blinded by the negativity and her desire for Destiny that she didn’t realize that she was causing more pain. It’s almost as if she knew who Mk really was (this a speculation in all honesty I’m not sure) and that if she didn’t confess now before she died completely she would have been thrown into one of the scrolls. 

Lastly is Azure. This doesn’t need much explanation. Most of the dialogue MK says during his fight with Azure says it all. 

“That's who you were pretending to be right? To be my friend? To care about me? When really, you were just USING me to get what YOU wanted! To turn me against my own mentor.” 

“Put your hands in the monkey cage, expect to get bit son!”

Season 4, Emperors Wrath? 

This whole fight was Mk’s role shedding light. Making AL reflect on his actions while also giving him a karma beat down. And at the end with Mk present, he confesses before fixing his wrongdoings and dying. Sad. 

Since I don’t have a lot towards my theory. Trust me this was very little info on the ten kings. I can’t seem to find proper names for any of them. I have decided to make it an AU. Because In all honest I like this too much to not make it an AU. 

The AU is basically this. After season 4 Mk has been out of it. Guilt for Azure and scared of himself after seeing how powerful his monkey self was. But it’s not enough to take away his curiosity. Ever since his time in the scroll he has been confused on who he is. What he is. Until he comes across a women who seems familiar. Too familiar….

Remember the other monkey statue. Well it’s said that the fifth king has a twin sister.
