Just thinking about the parallels between Robin and Usopp and making myself emotional!!!!

Following the footsteps of their criminal parents

Inheriting the talents and passions of their parents who abandoned them to follow their dreams

Spent their childhood waiting for their parent to return and bring them out to sea

Ostracized from their community

Adopting personas for their survival

Inspired and motivated by giants

Curious and thirsty for knowledge

Abandonment issues <3 Scared of being abandoned by the crew

🎶You’re a power-bottom at rock bottom, but you’ve got company 🎶

This implies that husk is also a power bottom…

*physically can’t stop thinking about Huskerdust but it’s the most gentle, compassionate smut you have ever laid your eyes upon where Angel is topping because usually at work he’s the cliche bottom, but with Husk he can do anything he wants because Husk honestly doesn’t mind*

I think if Shen could eventually seize power in China, he would start going crazy like Azula.

[likelytowritesomestuff]

Of course she knows China!

Po, drunk smiles at Tigress: Tigress has such beautiful eyes. I love her.

Tigress surprised:

Po cuddling into Tigress: Don't tell her I said that, okay?

Tigress really pleased, cuddles Po back: Alright, Dragon Warrior I won't.

I’m very normal about the fact that po can easily lift tigress off the ground. Yup, yup so normal, no internal feral screeching over tipo here uwu.

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

[likelytowritesomestuff]

Did....did Dreamworks just indirectly teased TiPo to us?!

WE NEED AN EXPLANATION DREAMWORKS! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?! 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?!?!?

[likelytowritesomestuff]

It's not a dreamworks movie sequel without the long-lost family member trope.

Bro. Everyone talks about Li Shan and Ping but you know what people SHOULD talk about?

In KFP3 Li Shan's house was a mess because no one visits him that often.

He was lonely.

He fought and saved a lot of his people from a genocide that lost him everything.

He led them and carried them through their most difficult times.

He put on the brightest of smiles and gave love and hope to everyone in his community.

While grieving in silence and isolation for 20 years.

I'm a Li Stan from now on.

Alright...sooo call me crazy but is it just me or Tigress has some connection with flowers a lot? And I mean A LOT!!

First let's start with Tigress's clothing. All her vests & hanfu with floral pattern which throughout the franchise represents her growth

But even before the the whole vine pattern we get to see the same pattern on Tigress's bed when she was still in Bao Gu Orphanage in Secrets of the Furious Five

Next in Secrets of the Scroll when Oogway is talking to Tigress at the Peach tree we see Oogway takes a look at a blossom & tells Tigress "The Question is; Can you be Tigress?" & the same flower flies near her

Next; Every time Tigress get's sick there's always a FLOWER involved to cure her. Now I know LoA isn't considered canon but there's one chapter in one of the KFP comics where the story is sorta similar to LoA's Scorpion Sting's episode where Tigress gets river fever. BOTH in the episode & in the comic there's a flower that's her medicine. Also coincidence in both cases Po (WHO'S BIRTH NAME IS ALSO LOTUS) is the one get's the flowers for her

Next in KFP3 while Po is trying to bloom a flower by using the chi technique the camera immediately zooms to injured Tigress with the flower also being in the shot & later Tigress wearing a flower garland & wearing a little flower on her ear just like Lei Lei.

And finally this is by far the most interesting one which got me screaming!

Viper, Po & Lei Lei ALL 3 who are close to Tigress also represents flowers in someway. Mostly in protective or comfort ways.

Viper as flower is her two little flower clips on her head.

Po who's birth name is LITTLE LOTUS!!

And FINALLY Lei Lei. Apparently Lei in Chinese means a bud of a flower!

I MEAN??? THIS CANNOT BE SOME WEIRD COINCIDENCE RIGHT?!?!? THERE HAS TO BE SOME REASON BEHIND IT??

I maybe overthinking but hey...at least I got all out from my chest. But seriously tho i'm sure there's a good explanation behind this flower connection!!

The Kung Fu Panda Movies have always had Mr. Ping give the moral of the story, and I think about that a lot. Yes, Po is usually out fighting bad guys when realizing where he should be mentally and skillfully, on his own when he gets the point of teachings. Ping is such an important person in Po's life, just as much as Shifu is needed to help Po learn Kung Fu.

Way more under the cut!!!

Kung Fu Panda 1: "You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient of my secret ingredient soup. And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant [...]" - Ping

"Secret Ingredient of my secret ingredient soup" being an allegory for Dragon scroll and "destiny" being Po becoming the Dragon warrior and "take over the restaurant" as being Oogway's successor.

Then it turns out the scroll is blank. And Ping feels its a good place to tell Po about the secret ingredient. NOTHING. For something to be special, you just have to BELIEVE it's special.

So Po, not needing any secret scroll or any cool powerup, wins against Tai Lung by believeing in himself.

Ping made him believe in himself. And when Po fulfills his destiny of defeating Tai Lung, he's PROUD!

Kung Fu Panda 2: "Po, your life may not have such a happy beginning, but look at how it turned out! You got me, you got kung fu! And you got noodles!" - Ping (and almsot identical quote said by Soothsayer)

And

Po: "I gotta go. I'm the Dragon Warrior, it's kinda my job to save Kung Fu. And if I don't, what am I?"

Ping: "You're my son! ... Right?"

The message is pretty clearcut, but it's repeated very heavily in the movie. Mr Ping may not be his father, but he is his dad. No matter where he came from, Po is Mr Pings son through and through and he very much loves him.

The scene where Po has been knocked into a river and saved by the Soothsayer, she says the same thing that Ping does. He didn't have a happy beginning, but what matters is who he is, and what he chooses to do now.

And the montage plays everything hes done up until now, but also empathizes the moments between Ping and Po. The last thing he sees in his mind is Ping being a dad, because he is Po's dad! Whatever happened before doesn't have bearing for who Po chooses to be. So when he chooses to be the son of a goose and the Dragon Warrior, nothing he finds out can change that.

Because Dragon Warrior or not, Po is Ping's son! Right?

Kung Fu Panda 3: "He's hurt. He's confused. And he still has to save the World! He needs both his dads." - Ping

"I realized that having you in his life doesn't mean less for me. It means more for Po." - Ping

And

"I'm not trying to turn you into me. I'm trying to turn you into you!" - Shifu

(Love how often Shifu and Ping mirror each other's roles btw they're both so important)

So these are a little less on the nose, but again super important. No matter what Po is going through, he still has to fulfill his destiny, and giving him support while he does so is the best they can do. Ping was initially worried of Li Shan stealing Po away, but realizes that bonding with his biological father doesn't take him away from Ping, just more love and support for Po.

But also, Po learning that he doesn't have to change drastically to reach his true potential. When Ping and Li Shan stand on the small platform and tell Po that they can help, along with all other pandas, Po has the realization that he can't turn them into him, just as Shifu can't turn him into Shifu, or Li Shan can't turn him into a typical panda.

Ping doesn't say a direct quote to mirror Shifu's, but he did initiate talking to Li Shan after Po and Li Shan had the liar reveal. Li never had the experience of having an arguement with his child, but Ping obviously does. So he takes it upon himself to keep being the rock that Po can lean on by talking to Li Shan and helping him realize that they have to be there for Po, no matter what happens.

Because again. Po is hurt. Po is confused. But he still has to save the world. He needs both his dads.

I love Ping so much for being a good dad in this way. He really plays well as a support character and is such a good parent. Yeah, Po may not fit the mold the way Ping expected (taking over the noodle shop etc) but hes still so proud!!!

   i started rewatching kung fu panda (a marathon of all 3 of course) and i guess i was just young when the third movie came out but like??? THIS is the best content. this is so sweet and pure and i love the way they come to accept each other despite how difficult it was for Mr Ping to accept Li at first 😭🥺

i honestly think it was such a good story to tell. one insecure biological father who’s scared to lose his child again being comforted and validated by the adoptive father that he isn’t the only one scared. they are BOTH Po’s father.

i feel like with how progressive media has gotten i shouldnt be taken aback by how often i hear “dads” but it FREAK OUT with joy EVERY SINGLE TIME. AND THEN THEY BECOME THIS POWERHOUSE DAD DUO?????  I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HOLY SHIT???? Po and his two DADS ❤❤❤

and they both value not just Po, but the new bond they’re now allowed to have together! they are A FAMILY!
