One of my favourites Olde Gods <3!
I love how this story [and the whole Journey West] has been adopted across various Asian cultures.
Over here we have the Ramakien, and even though he is called Hanuman, he is the same mischevious trickster [and ally] to the core :3
Last but never least, your wonderful depiction of him. I can't focus in on a favourite part, I just love all of it :D <3!

oooooh i haven't heard of the Ramakien ! Sounds like the Monkey King translates into so many other wonderful stuff !!! :D :D :D

Sean is super nice as always * ___ *

Heheh XD
The Ramakien is just the Thai adaptation of the Ramayana. I did a bit more checking about it and it seems like the connection between Hanuman and Sun Wukong isn't as strong as I thought, but the latter may have been influenced by the former.
Anyhow, I'm rambling~

Ooooh I am very interested in those ancient Indian mythologies too, I think they are really amazing :D There does seem to be a connection between Hanuman and Sun Wukong :D Monkeying around seems a great source of inspiration, even in ancient times !!! XD
