Villain Tripitaka AU

Tripitaka and Tang facts

So Chapter 13: Revenge of the Spider Queen will be out on New Years to give the vibe of the chapters.
So I will be putting in some fun facts in the AU for the time being
Starting off with the story's main characters

Tripitaka and Tang facts:

Basic knowledge:
-Tripitaka died from Sun Wukong, by being impaled through the heart. (Y'know Wukong has to stop doing that because in me and my sister's headcanon on how Macaque died it was like, the same thing, he scarred him first then impaled him.

-Tang was born or created by Tripitaka using his own corpse

-Tripitaka either crawled out of the Underworld or was so angry that he ended up becoming a spirit (Even I am not sure what exactly happened)

-Tang sees Tripitaka as his Master

-Tang's personality is fake and is slowly getting sentience due to the Bone Vial.

-Tripitaka orchestrated most of MK's attacks.

-Tripitaka is more of a behind-the-scenes puppet master, sure things don't go his way but it will all end in the same manner like a puppet show.

Actual fun facts:

Tripitaka first:

-Tripitaka's original design really had him only become a ghost, there was no hole in his chest, but after seeing some fanart in tumblr I decided to incorporate if into the design.

Or their tumblr: obviouslysadaddiction

-Originally, it was only going to be Tang who had the hole to his heart, but since the fanart gave me inspiration, both of them have a hole to their heart. (Tang has it because he's Tripitaka's literal corpse)

-As seen that Tripitaka names Tang after himself, he decides to dub himself 'Tripitaka' as 'Tang Sanzang' was also not his real name, he just had multiple titles. Xuanzang is his real name, though like how he dubs himself as Tripitaka instead of 'Tang Sanzang' because 'Tripitaka' was the original title and term for 'Sanzangjing' and it deviates him from being the 'oath brother of Emperor Taizong' since he considers that version of him dead and living in the form of Tang.

-Tripitaka sees Tang as a mere corpse and a servant upon which he can control, sorta showing his slight 'people in that era didn't know much about abuse and some forms of abuse were normal back in the day' type of guy, he also thinks him disposable because he could never live up to his disciples, which he mourns and still misses.

-However if Tang were to die, Tripitaka will be sent back to the dead, this also applies to Tang when it's the other way around.

-The reason Tang's pronunciation of name is different because Tripitaka didn't wanna rouse suspicion especially if he had the same sounding name.

-Tripitaka put glasses on Tang because it felt like he was looking at a mirror not because he wanted to give a scholar look.

-Tripitaka also forbade Tang to shave his hair

-Both Tripitaka and Tang can use Cicada powers but sometimes Tripitaka has to utilize Tang to do it so that his form doesn't break.

-I have a 'Ghost Tripitaka Au' in my tumblr and all his abilities are slightly similar here in a way, he's just become unhinged.

-Tripitaka isn't homophobic, though he questions Pigsy's sexuality and loyalty.

-Tripitaka used to view Pigsy and Sandy as Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing but has learned to accept that they aren't them and that those emotions of grief will only hinder his plans if he keeps doing so.
