Wukong

I imagine that when he was young he was definitely pan and could be talked into doing things with whoever as long as he liked them, but having too much pride to bottom to anyone.

But after everything and his retirement, he's a lot more of a recluse and is pretty picky about who he has contact with. If you can't breach that distance and the insecurities built up then no chance.

He's got only experience with guys so far, spending his early life in a sausagefest. But I could see him with anyone regardless of identity or equipment.

Cole

He's attracted to kindness and either someone he can protect, or feels safe with. He's a little spoon who doesn't mind stepping up to be a big spoon.

Saya working on broadening Wukong's horizons, but she'll happily stick to what he Knows for a while. Shapeshifter things are Fun.

As a result, he is a bit more attracted to strength, but since he's insecure about his appearance he doesn't really have a physical preference. It's all about that feel.

Shapeshifters are the best~

Izzy

Shapeshifters are all the options

Is pansexual with a preference for male presenting bodies, specifically the dad-bod being his favorite. He'll have a fling when hunting, but he prefers to be genuinely attracted to someone enough to want to run into them again.

Even more, Izzy likes the option to give up control, even if it's only an illusion. So partners who can take the pressure off get a big tick in his yes.

Izzy stop being her type this instant. (she will also shapeshift for him, it's fun for her to play with)

can't help with the dad bod unless he admits it tho, she defaults to lithe and athletic

He'll take that too. His first acted on crush is, lithe and athletic...but could also snap him in two.

I feel like Saya may end up hitting a sweet spot where she's a big fish, but Izzy's not feeling like he has to be cautious, but also since he's not a sheriff here, there's no pressure to be the authority to a bunch of bigger fish than him.

sweet spot is her favorite position to occupy

It is the best spot. It's the genuine spot hidden under the "Illusion I'm Fine" spot.

Current romantic CR:

Cole made sure that, when MK thought he missed his chance with Red Son and Red Son "made the better first choice", MK knew he's Cole's first choice.

He doesn't know what to do with himself past that yet though.

And Wukong's currently got it pretty bad for Saya, but his emotions are in knots and now Macaque is here to make the knot tighter.

I live to make Wukong have feelings

If I get Izzy in, MK might have a tiny bit of an addiction problem. Any other relationship remain to be seen.

Wukong has all the feels. ALL OF THEM.

Saya will gladly help him work the feels out. Macaque will gladly wreck his life.

well, "gladly". He doesn't want to really but yeah it's Complicated

He'll say it's gladly because it's not like he still likes him or anything...baka.

god they're both such idiots about each other

what is Wukong gonna do when Macaque just starts insulting Saya and being a woefully bitter jerk about it

Mostly be like "For someone who decided I'm such a huge jerk and never thinks about anyone else, you sure do like to bash the person who knows different.

YEP THAT SURE IS THE POINT

the replacement thing wouldn't have cut so deep if not for the "and she accepts him unconditionally" thing given what Mac was just saying to masked Cole

which is valid.

Wukong is absolutely gonna have to have an answer for "what is she to you?" once they talk for realsies though

like no answer will be preventative he'll just need to know, in a way that he shockingly doesn't care about with MK. MK is MK and he's one of those people, it's fine.

If Mac could know Saya he'd get it better but welp

I think Wukong is going to settle on honestly that Saya is the first person it feels like became for the sake of being his friend. She's not HIS, but there's a connection and understanding between them where they're both important to being at peace with themselves.

Because well, the sworn brothers sought him out because he was strong. The monk and disciples became friends because he was forced to serve him or stay under the mountain. MK became his student first so that also isn't just because.

MK's friends tolerate him because MK.

information calms him down, so honestly whatever answer will be good as long as he can input it into the Processes Issues Mechanism

the thing about MK is he has that answer. MK is a special person, that's the answer.

no further clarification necessary

(the information does not have to be quantifiable it just has to be known)

It's fair.
