Tang is a Damsel in Distress
So, we know in the original Journey to the West, Tripitaka gets kidnapped almost every chapter. Usually either to be eaten or married.
Lego Monkie Kid seems to imply this happens to Tang too.
In the episode “Amnesia Rules,” Tang is kidnapped by the Scorpion Queen. Coincidentally, a character who shows up in JTTW too though they changed her and her story TREMENDOUSLY for the cartoon.
He tells her that he’s been kidnapped by “a lot of lesser yaogui” before soooooo
This is interesting. As far as the show goes, the only time Tang has been kidnapped was when the Spider Queen was going to eat Pigsy and him. That’s only one, not a lot.
Add onto this:
“She kept giving you noodles so you wouldn’t leave.” (Pigsy speaking)
Pigsy says this with exasperation, as if this has happened dozens of times before.
My guess is that Tang HAS dealt with semi-regular kidnappings similar to his predecessor Tang Sanzang. And based off of Pigy’s reaction, he was there for a LOT of these, most likely having to save him.
This also explains how Pigsy carries around Tang is to such ease and how Tang doesn’t so much as bat an eye or flounder about.
Probably had to carry him off to safety a lot in their youth.
I would LOVE to see an episode where they show Pigsy, Tang, and Sandy when they were younger and play it almost like a classic episode of JTTW. Tang gets kidnapped and Pigsy and Sandy go rescue him!

I wanted to kinda make this trial represent getting artistic ideas from science (and also other artist’s works)- originally this comic was actually going to take place in a laboratory, but I wasn’t sure how i’d approach it, or how they’d even open the door, so I went with a library instead.

More Charbee Prompt Rambles
I was spiraling a few hours ago but i had cookies and milk so im okay
This is part of a series I had planned that revolved around a single headcanon:
For every Bumblebee, there is the Charlie Watson that named him.
And here’s my take on the TF Animated universe.
On his first week working on the clean up ship, Bee accidentally connected to a radio on Earth. The radio was owned by Charlie and fixed up by a young genius she was babysitting. Bee listened to Charlie through the radio and listened to her music but after days of constant Smiths, he made his presence known and spoke to her by changing the channels, making his annoyance on the lack of variety clear. Charlie finds Bee amusing and they come up with a system to alternate music choices every week. Over time, their tastes seem to blend with with other and soon share more things beyond music taste. Charlie nicknames the voice Bumblebee because of the buzzing noises whenever he’s silent or choosing a song. Bee gets attached to the name and later changes his callsign to Bumblebee.
They knew each other for a few months. At that point, they each knew each other better than themselves, turning to the radio when they need someone to talk to.
Then the ship was attacked and the Autobots were stuck in stasis for 50 years.
After meeting Sari and the professor, he finds out that Charlie was Sumdac’s babysitter. Her dad and Sumdac’s dad were college friends and Charlie offered to babysit at Detroit during summer break. Hopeful and afraid, Bee asks where he could find her. Sumdac takes Bee to see Charlie at Brighton Falls. She hasn’t visited Detroit in years since her last heart attack put her in the hospital for almost a year. They find her still working at her uncle’s junkyard, which she now owns after his passing.
They never met face to face before and they were as beautifully imperfect as they could imagine.
They talk and Charlie confesses that ever since she met him, her life has been better. She moved on from her dad’s death, fixed the car, has a better relationship with her family, and even joined diving again, going to the Olympics and getting four gold medals before she retired. She never had the time to get married or have kids but she’s happy with the life she had.
Bee thanks Charlie for making his life on the ship much brighter, confessing that he was afraid of being undermined because of his size and knowing that he had someone to turn to made him feel more safe and comfortable now that he had a little safe place to go to.
Charlie is dying from heart problems so Bee tries to make every moment last before he has to go back to Detroit. They go on joyrides and learn how to swim (Bee was ecstatic to see Charlie dive for the first time) before ending the day sleeping while watching the Breakfast Club.
When Bee wakes up, he finds that Charlie passed away peacefully on his lap with a smile on her face.
He kisses her on the cheek and whispers before calling Sumdac;
“I will never forget you.”
