Shadowpeach

Shadowpeach is the slash ship between Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque from the Lego Monkie Kid fandom.

Canon
Sun Wukong and Macaque were originally close friends who often fought together. They were known to be unstoppable with their combined powers, not even by the Celestial Realm or on Earth. The two were harmonious, mentioned to be like the sun and the moon. However, as Sun Wukong gained more power, his "shadow" grew. Macaque was eventually cast away within this shadow, left behind by his beloved friend. Wukong was known as the hero of the story, and Macaque was labeled as the warrior. Some time later, Macaque and Wukong end up battling, and Macaque is killed by the other monkey. After he was brought back to the mortal realm, he immediately began to seek revenge upon his enemy.

Macaque began to train MK as a way to get all of Sun Wukong's powers. He eventually succeeded, however Wukong appeared to stop him and protect MK. He was originally suspicious, knowing he was being trained by another mentor due to the boy's sudden increase in power. Macaque and Wukong seem like an even match, their powers equal to each other, before MK steps in to deliver a final blow and helps to defeat Macaque. He does not show up again until season 2, where he hosts a shadow play that details parts of he and Wukong's backstory. MK ends up defeating Macaque, however he mentions how he's just "a bit too much like him."

Once again the pair meets after MK's group flees from the Lady Bone Demon. Macaque chases after their ship in his own vehicle, calling out "Oh, Wukong!" after attacking their ship. Wukong jokes how he's relieved, and how he thought it was "someone important." Macaque replies mentioning how he's "always the comedian." Macaque comments on his injured appearance and how it looked like the Lady Bone Demon hurt him pretty good. Wukong replies, asking if he was now her puppet, adding on that he always had a "sidekick kinda vibe." This prompts Macaque to attack him. They fight, but Macaque is ultimately tricked by MK throwing a crowbar and blasting him off the side of the ship.

After Macaque is given more power by the Lady Bone Demon, he once again seeks out Wukong and the rings of Samadhi, a weapon planned to be used to defeat Lady Bone Demon. Nezha and Wukong begin fighting before they're frozen against the mountain. Wukong comments on his new powers, mentioning how it's "on brand" for him to have a "worse version of everyone else's powers." After Macaque takes the fake rings of Samadhi, Wukong asks if he's going to monologue. Macaque leaves to go get the real rings from MK, and Wukong attempts to call after him.

After Mei is powered by the Samadhi fire, Wukong spots Macaque. Macaque attempts to retreat but is pulled out of his portal and pinned down. Wukong raises an arm to punch him but is ultimately stopped by Tang's words. When MK talks about how he would never abandon his best friend, Wukong glances back at Macaque before the other monkey leaves.

When Wukong is corrupted by Lady Bone Demon's power, MK convinces him to "be a warrior." He fights Wukong and holds him off. After MK gets him to hold the staff and return him to normal, the others combine their power to assist in defeating Lady Bone Demon. Macaque and Wukong look at each other and nod before combining their own to help. After a giant staff is created, the two help push it down onto Lady Bone Demon to finally defeat her. Once the battle is over everyone has noodles, Macaque asks if MK is done with his before Wukong takes it and states that he was saving it for him, because "I'm his mentor." The two continue bickering, and MK says they're not the same, which they both respond with "I'm nothing like him!" Macaque eventually leaves, saying he's off to do some "scheming."

Fanon
Shadowpeach is one of the most popular ships within the Lego Monkie Kid fandom. Fans often use things that are related to the character to form ship names instead of fusing the two names together. For example, "Shadowpeach" combines the powers of Macaque's shadows and Wukong's love for peaches. The fandom created nicknames for the two to call each other as well. Macaque often uses "peaches" for Wukong and the other uses "plum" or "mango" for Macaque. Many enjoy the ship for its opportunity for hurt/comfort, building off of the two's canon backstory. There is a mix of fluff and angst fanart and fanfictions for the ship.

As of recent the current English voice actor for Macaque (Alejandro Saab) made a cover of Peaches from the new mario movie this song is about Bowser singing on how much he loves Princess Peach and since Wukong is the peach part of Shadowpeach there have been many animatics and fanart of Macaque singing how much he is in love with Sun Wukong the animatics even using this exact cover
