My SATBK fanfic

Hope you guys like it,it is my first fanfiction That I posted

Macaque's fur

I’ve got a little headcanon based on what I’ve heard about the 2000s cartoon (haven’t watched it yet, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). From what I gather, Macaque has white fur in that version, right?

Now, I’ve seen some LMK fan artists depict him with white fur too, and that gave me an idea—what if we mixed those interpretations?Not like combine the colors or have one side be white and the other black I mean in the way like an artic fox's fur works

So,When Winter is approaching Macaque starts to Shed his shorter,black thin fur to a long white coat.

And since SWK doesn’t do that, the first time it happened, he absolutely panicked, thinking Macaque was terminally ill or something. While SWK’s over here Having a Panic attack, probably speaking in Incoherent sentences and freaking out, Macaque is there, super confused, like, “???”.

Eventually, Macaque figures out what’s going on, sits Wukong down, and explains everything to him. Wukong's like, “Ohhhhhh, so I was panicking over nothing…” Macaque would probably tease him about it later

Different sentence structures and the vibes they can achieve

1. Short, choppy sentences

Excellent for creating tension, urgency, or drama because they speed up the pacing and convey intense emotion.

She said no. I didn’t listen. I should have.

2. Long, flowing sentences

These are great for descriptions, adding detail, and explanations. They can create an intellectual or reflective vibe—or even a dreamy one. You can also use them to evoke a sense of being overwhelmed. They slow the pacing, add complexity, and help build tension. But once you're in the thick of a tense moment, it's often better to switch back to short sentences to keep the energy up.

As the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting a golden sheen across the cracked pavement, she stood there, unsure of what she was waiting for—only that something, anything, had to change.

3. Fragmented sentences

These give off a casual, stylized, and emotional tone. They're perfect for internal monologue and mimicking the way we actually think or speak.

Not the way I planned. Not even close. But here we are.

4. Repetitive structure

They add drama, rhythm, and emotional intensity. It's a powerful stylistic tool that can drive a point home.

She wanted peace. She wanted quiet. She wanted to forget.

5. Inverted or unusual word order

If you're aiming for a formal, archaic, or poetic tone, this structure will get you there.

Gone was the light from his eyes.

6. Interruptions (em dashes or parentheses)

If you're going for a conversational, conflicted, or stream-of-consciousness vibe—even something humorous if used right—interruptions are your friend. They mimic how we speak and think in real time.

I was going to tell her—God, I really was—but I couldn’t.

7. Questions

Questions are fantastic for showing uncertainty, anxiety, or inner conflict. They can also give off a philosophical tone and invite reflection from both the character and the reader.

What if I never make it out? What if this is it?

20 Ways to Show Extreme Fear in Your Writing

As I dive into researching signs of fear for my horror WIP, I wanted to share some of the most compelling and visceral reactions I’ve come across. Whether you’re writing a chilling scene or crafting a character’s panic, these 20 signs of fear can help bring tension and realism to your story.

Physical Reactions

Hyperventilating — sucking in air but never feeling like it’s enough

Chest tightens — feels like a weight or hands pressing down

Limbs shaking violently, knees buckling

Complete loss of muscle control — collapsing or unable to stand

Cold sweat soaking through clothes

Heart hammering so hard they feel it in their throat or head

Tunnel vision — the world narrowing down to one terrifying focal point

Ringing in the ears or sudden deafness, like the world drops away

Dizziness / feeling faint / vision blurring

Dry mouth — unable to speak or even scream

Uncontrollable Behavior

Screaming / sobbing / gasping — involuntary vocal outbursts

Panic run — bolting without thinking, tripping over everything

Clawing at their own skin / chest / throat — like trying to escape their body

Begging / pleading out loud even if no one’s there

Repeating words or phrases — “No, no, no” / “This isn’t happening”

Hiding instinctively — diving under tables, closets, or corners

Desperate grabbing — reaching for someone, anything solid

Loss of bladder or bowel control (for extreme terror)

Total mental shutdown — frozen, slack-jawed, staring blankly

Memory blackout — later can’t recall what happened during the worst moment

Got any Fics similar to this?

A Shadowpeach fanfic where Macaque observes Wukong and the pilgrims on their journey. Seeing how happy Wukong is and believing that he's been forgotten, Macaque decides to leave instead of dying.

Or maybe one of the pilgrims notices him and confronts him just before Macaque leaves

I need it pls

Wait,Open Arms from Epic:The musical fits so well with Sonic Prime

I mean, Shadow could be Odysseus and Sonic could be Polites—

Shadow being like "Don't trust them, they're not your friends," and Sonic being like greet the world with open arms with the alternate friends watching from the background.
