@albedochewer

Except that he was already the brutal dictator of Nicaragua, and Chung Myung didn't see a problem with that

Little headcanon I have.

You draw the best frowny faces for CM! I love the vibrancy you bring to TB! Everyday you draw tangchung being cute together is a good day (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

Thank you so much ♥️ seeing your comments always made my days! It meas a lot, so I made this for you

Is a bit rushed, but made with love 🥰

Little bonus:

He knows he's cute and use it to his advantage 🤭

Oh Tang Bo, my roman empire 💚💚💚

Not sure how many of you have seen the rb with so I'm leaving this one here too

Chung Myung made got him a new hairpin

[tama-fighting-artblock]

Chung Myung gave him a new hairpin ♥️😈

The young apprentice from the house of the flying daggers, Bō and his huge cat Myung-Myung —a maltese tiger—.

Now the desing, the green definitely is a must, specially considering that Bō is still part of the Tang blood line, although not considered a Tang.

He is still younger than Chung Myung, this time six or seven years, and his design does reflect a bit of that playful personality despite how conservative the members of the house of the flying daggers might be, thus, he uses a high bun with two hairpin positioned like little horns, and the colorful set of ribbon tying up his shoes.

I kept some element from the novel design, while retaining the asymmetrical bangs, eyebrows and dimple that are so lovely to see

He looks like a cutie pie and would use it against you. Don't let him fool you, he may have no memories but he's still dangerous and you better not be planning to try anything funny if the big cat is around.

That scene from journey to the west: conquering demons (2013) that @chuliann told me to draw as Tangchung.

I had so much fun drawing wukong! While Bō sleeves are as stressful as always. But definitely, Chung Myung's expressions were by far the easiest part. Hehe

Edit: now I notice that a forget the sleeve in one panel. *sigh* why am I like this?

Lore acurrate sun wukong

Wukong, what have you done this time!

[tama-fighting-artblock]

Reblogging my old Tang Bo design ✨(that I made while I was reading golden kamuy)

Since I won't be able to draw in a couple days, I'm just sharing the current state of the canvas. On another note, I really love those Tang eyebrows

[tama-fighting-artblock]

What translation of the journey to the west do you read? Saw the post with the drawing and the text there was much easier to understand than the ones I've been trying to read.

Well I am not reading that one, mine is an audio book in Spanish. But, the the screenshot I used comes form the Internet archive. I don't know anythings about this translation, honestly. Im not sure how good it is, it just seemed similar enough to what I heard in Spanish 🤔

I hope it helps, anyway.

Mei Xiaoguang from the Plum Manor.

Meet Xiaoguang, aka Chung Myungn't.

One can't top perfection, so adapting Chung Myung is a difficult task. Yet, I still tried to do something good enough. I redesigned the uniform, I needed to be at least a bit creative I guess. I don't care is not acurrate, even tho I'm receiving psychological damage for saying this, because at least I think it looks good. This is just the concept I'm happy with cause I've been trying to get this man right for months now.

I'm having headaches thinking what to do with the back, but I'll figure it out eventually... I hope

[tama-fighting-artblock]

I swear! Character desing is so complicated but I manage to craft two designs that makes sense for the chara I'm writing. I hope they could accurately convey their personalities just by looking at them. (I'm sharing a few sketches too!)

Ahh there he is, my lovely (Mei) Xiaoguang again, having a moment with Zhōng as well as Chung Myung and Bō failing at having a moment. Tang Bo being Chung Myung's #1 fan. A bit of Zhōng and Feiluan's brotherhood, Bō reading jttw by 50th time (and new game+! Tang Bō)

[tama-fighting-artblock]

Iam just happy to find you. Not just because your art is my type but also your humor?? Your headcanon?? Good thing God lead my way to you, iam so grateful. Please keep drawing!

Thank you so much ✨😭

[tama-fighting-artblock]

Quick sketch of my favorite JTTW moment so far, from chapter 14 (ignore the spots where i forgot to paint Wukong's fur oopsie)

Oh Wukong, people should know you're a real cutie pie ♥️✨

[tama-fighting-artblock]

:D !!!! Thank you for letting me play in the sandbox!!!

No, but— thank you for engaging, and taking the time to write about it an share it! It really means a lot to see something silly I like, not only is liked by other but also gave them their own ideas!!! I'm honored!

I told my friend (a different one) that I'll be happy if few people get to enjoy the concept and I'm glad it's happening!

[tama-fighting-artblock]

lmaooooooooo CM is really boarding the struggle bus! I could practically hear his heart attack at the word /love/. Your TB has a crush on SWK au is captivating. Maybe that drunken argument could lead to CM becoming TB's beta reader? *why not both gif*

Hear me out: a crossover between this au and Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. CM reads Journey To The West to prove TB wrong and becomes TB's beta reader anyway. He wants to hang out with TB, but he's still a SWK hater, tangcheong write themselves into being small time demons gunning for SWK, etc.

tangcheong write that fanfic for so long that they get really good at it (maybe TB decides to rewrite the beginning parts that he's unhappy with the quality of at some point or readers get to see the style shift). The fanfic is so good and so long that it gets a huge fanbase and enters the cultural consciousness of the gangho* and gets tied to their mythos just like their accomplishments as the Dark Saint, Plum Blossom Sword Saint, and Divine Dragon.

tangcheong have enough stories that they come back and ascend as constellations when the scenarios start. But the thing is, all versions of stories and characters become true if someone or something gets popular to become a constellation. So now TB and CM actually are a part of Sun Wukong 's stories, and actually have to fight him in some scenarios.

So CM isn't jealous because of TB's character crush anymore. He's jealous because TB's got a celebrity crush on what is basically their coworker, who he can't even beat in a 1v1 fight. At least CM can marry TB if he didn't before and CM's loved ones from both of his lives can hang out together...in a torment nexus gauntlet. Yay? Well, I believe in their chances of survival.

*I think that gangho is the murim equivalent of the jianghu but my bad if I got it wrong 😔

Well I have to say is a pretty nice concept you have there. I'm so glad to see people taking a silly concept and develop something from it! 🥰

However, I'm not familiar with ORV, and it's lore to provide and insight, and sadly my interest died when I realized how profound is that rabbit hole when it's story wasn't my cup of tea to begin with. However! I am interested in whatever you have to say about it! (specially when it comes to Bo simping over Wukong!!!)

That being said @chuliann (who happens to know about orv better than I do) is the person I've been talking with about the silly Sun/Tang/Chung drama. And they think you're a genius! And they wanted me to tell you that!

We would love to hear more about it, if you come up with new ideas♥️

All I can provide is a bit more info about Sun wukong, since I'm currently reading journey to the west, and being watching some adaptations recently:

Sun Wukong is, to some degree, like a child despite his high intelligence, he gets excited and jump out of joy, he's very impulsive and confrontative. He's like a more friendly version of Chung Myung (with a friendly approach). He likes being recognized. He gets excited when being assigned task like taking care of the stables or watch over the peaches, but takes great offense when he's diminished. As well, he was very enthusiastic about serving Tang Sanzang in his journey until he reprimanded wukong for attacking some bandids.

Wukong can be genuinely adorable, but also frightening. Of course. Hes not naturally mean spirited with people. So, belive me, if Tang Bo approach Wukong and tries to befriend him being honest, he'll be just like Tang Bō.

A passage I really like is wukong asking for a needle after his first bath to properly sew a piece of leather he previously got. Stealing a piece of cloth from Tang sanzang that he forgot to put back on, and then going back to him and walked all around asking if he looks good now.

Adorable!

What if CM gets involved as TB's beta reader and TB makes an insert character for CM? CM's insert chara is TB's insert chara's bestie who comes to pick up TB's insert chara after he gets beaten up by Sun Wukong or fights alongside TB's insert character. Maybe tangcheong would fight about whether CM's insert chara could beat up Sun Wukong in a fight? There's a lot of banter and chemistry between tangcheong's insert characters, and TB eventually has them marry. That could be how CM wins

Oho I like that, your scenario is very very cute. I had something slightly different in mind, a bit more chaotic:

They get drunk ( I know, shocking) and Tang Bō at some point is just rambling about him writing many many years ago a story where he's a demon and gets the shit beaten out of him by wukong, over and over. That doesn't sit well for Chung Myung because he's the only one who gets to beat Bō-ya. Anyone else is just inconceivable!

So he said he should write himself besting Wukong. Because he's clearly better ofc.

Bo, half laugh half gets offended. First "Pshh you can't pick up a brush, do you even know how to use it or will you start making ink blossom with it?" but that's not it, because Bō is also adamant in telling Chung Myung that there's no way he can defeat fucking Sun Wukong. Just no way. "It'll be like a spark trying to set a boulder on fire!"

Which makes Chung Myung even more angry, because Bō clearly likes the monkey! He refuses to get anywhere near the novel, while Bō insists that he should read it "you'll love him too"

Love?! LOVE?!

[tama-fighting-artblock]

More OC's sketches!

This time the Tang brothers, Tang Fei Luan and Tang Zhōng. Yes, Zhōng as in that uncle Zhōng from Tang Bō's diaries... *gasp* so that must be Bō's father? Yes, yes he is.
