Your gateway to endless inspiration
Heyo, jttw is one of my special interests so felt like sharing my versions
Wukong and Macaque - from last year December
Tripitaka and Pigsy - from early this year
Haven’t drawn them in a hot minute and missing a good amount of characters but it’s my first post… kinda nervous, hello jttw fandom :)
Ta-da! An Updated Version Of The LMK Trainer ID’s!
As Of (8/24/2024)... And as I mentioned in my original post, I usually fall behind on “updates” or simply keeping up with the current going ons with fandoms and in general, stuff. So if this becomes inaccurate (as in more Trainer ID’s for the LMK cast of characters are posted), please let me know so I can update!
And I thought I’d take up less room on your screen and make the cards share spots with each other. Besides our favorite (but very traumatized>﹏<) main character. So, to get a better view of them, just click on 'em! If this is an issue for anyone, just let me know and I can just stack them all on top of each other.
These, of course, are all created by Ashe Jacobson, a storyboard director for our beloved show, Lego Monkie Kid! And from the post that I saw that alerted me to the new ID cards, I should state that these ID’s aren’t exactly canon, likely being headcanons made by Jacobson. But even so, I think most of the fandom agrees to what’s described/shown on these ID’s. Additionally, as long as you're respectful, who cares about canon! You can make whatever you want in the sandbox!

I personally haven’t seen any “masterposts” for the LMK Pokémon Trainer ID cards. I’ve seen some people post one or two of them, but not the entire list. So! I decided to make one! As of right now (7/12/2021), these are all the LMK Pokémon Trainer ID’s that have been created! Who created them? Well, the amazing; Ashe Jacobson!! A wonderful storyboard director for Lego Monkie Kid! (Also, let’s just give a round of applause for everyone who helped create this wonderful show, because they deserve it!) They’ve posted these badboy ID’s on their twitter! Which I’ll post, along with their posts about these Pokémon Trainer ID cards aka my source for these Trainer ID’s! (The links are below the “Keep Reading” Line!) Also, I usually fall behind on “updates” for stuff, so if this becomes inaccurate/they post some more Trainer ID’s for the LMK cast of amazing characters, please let me know so I can update! Thank you, and I hope this helps any of those looking for these nifty ID cards!

(I suggest you check out parts 1-11 if you haven't already)
(With Sandy) Sandy woke up and stretched he looked towards the side of his bed expecting to see Mo there. It took him a moment but he realised his cat wasn't there quickly. "Mo!?" Sandy called out instantly going into a state of panic due to not having his precious kitten with him. The gentle giant began going through his boat house lifting up couches checking high and low for his cat.
Eventually after around 30minutes of searching he decided to go over to the noodle shop. "What's up with Mk?" Tang said to Pigsy inside the shop, "Don't know maybe h-" Pigsy was cut off by Sandy rushing into the shop. "Sandy! Geez trying to give us a heart attack" Tang shouted before slowly calming down. "I can't find Mo!" Sandy exclaimed his voice full of worry. "Wait what? Are you sur-" Pigsy asked before getting cut off again, "Yes I checked around the whole boat house!" Sandy replied knowing what the rest of the question would be.
Pigsy let out a sigh, "Maybe he just managed to escape and went somewhere?" He spoke out quickly not wanting to be interrupted again. "Where would he go?!" Sandy replied, "Sandy don't worry, Mo is a smart cat he's probably safe and is trying to get back here" Tang said in an attempt to comfort his worried friend. "Yea Tang is right he probably is sa-" Pigsy was cut off a third time by Mk rushing back in. "Sorry! Forgot a few orders....Sandy? Why are you here?" The noodle boy asked as he quickly noticed Sandy. "Mo is missing" The gentle giant replied sadly, "Wait actually?! I'll keep a look out for him while I'm delivering and when I'm done I'll go around" Mk replied making Sandy smile.
(Meanwhile with Red Son) The fire demon teleported into Megatroplis and had Mo on his shoulder. "You're one lucky cat..." Red Son said to Mo who meowed happily in response before nuzzling against Red Sons' cheek. "And you're cute..." The fire demon mumbled before putting on a hoodie and walking around. "The noodle shop was this way, right?" The fire demon asked the cat, Mo gave him an 'idk' look. "How can you not kn-...never mind I can't be mad at you.." Red Son said before continuing to walk.
"Well...here we are..." The fire demon said before looking through the window, "He should be gone by now..." he added noticing Mk in the window, from his time with him he quickly learnt what times Mk had work. Mo meowed happily once he saw Sandy in there. "There he is...you can go now..." Red Son said, Mo hissed in protest wanting the fire demon to take him in. "Really like being treated like royalty..." Red Son mumbled as he listened to Mo.
The fire demon hesitantly went in covering his face with the hoodie and looking at the ground. Mo suddenly relaxed in Red Sons' arms. "Oh hey a customer!" Mk said out noticing the person aka Red Son come in. "I-I'm not a customer...j-just came here to return someone I found..." Red Son responded before Mo jumped onto the ground. "Mo!" Sandy exclaimed happily.
Mo nuzzled against Sandy happily, the noodle boy looked at Red Son finding his voice sort of familiar. "Weird...so what's your name?" Pigsy asked, as he stared at Red Son clearly not knowing who it was, "I-I umm my name?" The fire demon responded clearly not expecting this. Pigsy nodded, "W-well" Red Son really didn't want to tell them his name and couldn't think of one on the spot. Mo suddenly climbed back onto Red Son and pulled back his hoodie. "Shit..." The fire demon mumbled.
"Red Son?!" The group exclaimed clearly not expecting this. "Maybe you're the one that kidnapped Mo!" Pigsy hissed angrily before he was ready to through and ladle at Red Son. "R-Red Son did you really?" Mk stuttered out, "No I didn't you noodle brains!" The fire demon responded as he tried leaving. Sandy looked pissed at the thought of someone kidnapping Mo, just as Pigsy was about to Mo stood in front of Red Son and hissed at the others.
(Had this in my draft for 50 fucking years because I kept thinking it wasn’t good enough but now I don’t care and just gonna upload it)
Tang waits a moment in front of the boat door, hearing a faint commotion coming from the other side.
Then the door swings open, with a cheery blue giant standing inside. "Tang! It's good to see you, my friend! Come inside, I'll be with you in a moment." He walks away from the door to make space.
"Ok, thank you, Sandy." Tang replies as he enters, closing the door behind him.
Sandy's boat always had a calming feeling to it. Maybe it was the color scheme, with shades of blue for the walls and soft browns, yellows, and oranges used for decor and furniture
Or maybe it was the atmosphere, with the copious amounts of friendly therapy cats, the lingering smell of tea, and maybe even the occasional rock of the boat from the waves.
Whatever it was, Tang was glad as it gradually calmed his nerves.
He had sat down on a plush couch with a coffee table in front with sandy in the side kitchen, most likely brewing tea.
Almost as soon as he relaxed into the cushions, a calico cat with bright amber eyes pounced onto his lap.
"Oof- heh. Hey there, Stella." Tang greeted the rambunctious cat. Stella had been bothering Tang ever since the gang came back to Metrapolis with things like small pounces or bites on his fingers.
He thought it was a bit annoying, but he did still keep extra cat treats in his messenger bag whenever he's planning on visiting Sandy.
Speaking of, Sandy had seemingly finished whatever tea he had been making as he came back to the sitting area, tray in hand.
He put the tray down on the coffee table and carefully handed Tang a steaming cup of tea. Sandy took one for himself as he sat to Tang's left, and Tang noticed the cat paw pattern that adorned the cup. He smiled to himself.
"So Tang, how was that book you mentioned? I remember you saying how the images were grainy and underdeveloped. Mytho... eh..."
"Mythos. The Mythos Sites: Professional Study. I finished reading it last night. I don't know why I did, though, because it felt like reading a last-minute book report done by a five year old!" He exlaimed loudly, waving his free hand in the air before taking a sip of his tea. Ooo, lavender.
"Haha! I can see why you didn't like it that much. I thought it might've been good since it's about Journey to the West and had a good summary." Sandy says, swirling his tea before taking another drink.
"It's not your fault, Sandy. It did look promising on the cover and in the intro," Tang comforted before grumbling into his cup. "...but it just devolved into ramblings about how these Mythos Sites "prove that the world was controlled by aliens" and "how the earth is hollow with otherworldly beings living inside" blah blah blah." Tang mocked as he moved his hands sporadically, almost spilling his tea on Stella, who just jumped and ran away.
"I still feel a bit bad, though. Hmmm... oh! Tang!" He suddenly says, leaning over to look at Tang. "Did you bring your sketch book?"
He reaches into his messanger bag and pulls out a small leather-bound notebook. "Yeah? I take it with me everywhere."
Sandy just smiles as he offers Tang a hand. "Then let's go and find some inspiration!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the end, Sandy had taken an entire canvas with him, paint pallette and all, while him and Tang wandered around Metrapolis looking for things to draw and paint.
They went to Pigsy's first, Tang with the excuse of getting "everyday life" sketches. They ended up talking with Pigsy most of the time, barely doing anything, but Tang did get some quick sketches of Pisgy's cooking process.
When they left, they had found a flower shop with sunflowers on the logo. Tang sat down next to Sandy as he started to sketch, sometimes looking at the painting next to him.
The next spot was the main square, full of advertisements and skyscrapers. This is where the weather station is, broadcasting new weather updates and changes.
The final stop was the library, in the back with the lamp and city records. The atmosphere was nice. Sandy had pulled out a third canvas from... somewhere, and is now skimming through random books off the shelves.
Tang was just reading a new edition of Monkey Cop: Back in the Streets, as he had also finished his sketches, when he suddenly heard rounds of footsteps entering the library.
This is when he suddenly remembered what he set that alarm for yesterday, and why he had set it up in the first place.
It was the day where the new book of "The Monkie Kings Bride" had been set to be shelved (one adaptation he personally doesn't like, too many cliches and it has a weird artstyle to him)
And he knew exactly what fans were coming... the chaos that would ensue. He needed to get Sandy and him out of there before they were suffocated by the crowd.
"Hey, uh, Sandy? We need to leave. Like, now." He stated as he quickly stuffed his sketch book, pencils, and erasers back into the messanger bag.
"What's wrong Tang? Why do we have to leave now?" Sandy asked as he started to follow Tang through the bookcases. "Why are we- oh. Oh, now I understand."
"Aw, CRAP." Why do I always get stuck with the annoying side plots?
The entrance is no longer visible, as hordes of people come in and group around the doors, waiting for that stupid book.
"Ughh..." Tang groaned as he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
Great. Just great. Now he had to either a) push through the GIANT crowd to get through the overflowing entrance, b) wait for an opening to get through, or c) find out some other way out-
"Hey Tang?" Sandy speaks, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, uh, yeah, Sandy?" He says nervously. He has never liked crowds, and he doesn't want to stay here more than he has to.
"Can we go out through there?" Sandy points to a... fire escape door. Wow, how convenient!
*phew* "Thanks, Sandy." Tang says as he dodges a few stragglers on his way to the door, waving Sandy to come with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They both walk out of the side alley that the library was connected to, swerving through the smaller outside crowd.
"Oh dang, I totally forgot about that! *huff* Sorry, Sandy." Tang says as he leans against a store wall.
"It's alright Tang. In any case, I really enjoyed today! I really liked getting out of the boat for a bit, and I'm very excited to hang up our paintings!" Sandy reassures.
"Heh, thanks, Sandy. I hope we can do something like this again!" He smiles. He then starts to wave Sandy goodbye.
Tang gets home without any issues. No annoying voices, loud music, or big fights. Just pure white noise in the bustling city, and the breeze.
He's glad for that. Everything is ok, and will be ok. He wants everything to stay like this.
