Today's beast is a mini canvas painting oh a dragon. I made this in July, and it was my first ever go at Poscas. The learning curve is steep, but you know what? I like them. :)
If you'd like a beast, please check out Bittythings and Beasts. Some of the new surviving con stock will be up later this week.

Theory Kung fu Panda : Why Po can't longer be a dragon warrior.
I've been thinking about this theory since Movie 4 came out, so let's get to it.
Let's ask ourselves a question. Why did Shifu make Po choose the next dragon warrior?
Shifu said in the movie 4, Oogwar chose Po as his deputy. Even Master Oogway said so himself.
Oogwar: You finally became the panda you were always meant to be.
Po: But, how'd you know I could?
Oogwar: On the first day we meet. I saw the future of Kung fu and the past. I saw the panda who could unite them both. That is why I choose you, Po. Both sides of a Yin and Yang. And my true successor.
And like all of us, we thought that Po was simply the successor to Oogway. But as it turns out in kfp 4, it was intended that Po would be the next Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Maybe we, the viewers and Po, misunderstood back then. But as I checked all the information. No one before kfp 4 called Oogwał by this title.
And that's why in kfp 4 Po was surprised that he had to go to the next stage. Only the question arises. Why right away. In the third part, Shifu didn't say anything to Po.
We don't know how much time has passed between kfp3 and kfp4, but we can guess that it must have been several weeks or months. I conclude this because Po's dad has reopened the shop and there are pandas living in the city. So they definitely had to build some house for the panda. So it certainly took some time.
So why did Shifu wait so long to tell Po that he would now be the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace? Why didn't he say it right away? Why did he wait so long to say that Po would be a spiritual sage from now on? Why Shifu did he tell Po to find another dragon warrior now?
Why should he find a successor so quickly? Because let's make an agreement. Choosing a successor is not an easy thing. Damn, Oogway must have spent years looking for his successor, so why did Po have to choose in one day?
And this is where theory comes in.
Po is a spirit warrior and that's why he can no longer be a dragon warrior.
In the third part of the movie, Po used the Wuxi Finger Hold on himself to take Kai with him to the spirit world. And we know that this technique kills instantly and does not work on people who are already dead. And in kfp 4 he tells us directly that this technique is deadly and dangerous. Because we see that Taing Luing is a spiritual warrior.
So the question is, if Po was also a spiritual warrior, why doesn't he shine the same as Taing Lung, Shen or Kai? Why doesn't Po shine like them? What makes him stand out from the rest?
This is where my Reply comes in. Po came out of the spirit world differently than they did. In the third part, we see Po using his staff to leave the Spirit World. So that might be the reason why he doesn't shine like the rest of the spirit warriors.
The second reason why his aura is not visible like the rest is because Po uses his Chi very often. In kfp 4 Po we see how he uses it during combat or how he opens the gate to the spirit world. There's a chance that Po used more off-screen than he did in the movie. So it's possible that this is why his aura is not as visible as the rest.
In the supplement, we see that Po has acquired several abilities, but he uses them unknowingly. So I'm guessing he has two visible abilities. The first with conversation with the afterlife and the ability to predict the future or something similar. The first one could be that Oogway spoke, but the second one is definitely some new ability of Po.
The question now is. When Shifu figured out that Po was a spirit warrior? Maybe he saw something strange with Po? Maybe shifu had guessed by Po's appearance or his behavior. Or perhaps he noticed how rarely he needed rest. I noticed that Po only falls asleep once throughout the entire movie. I suspect it was just a short nap. Considering that from the house hanging on the precipice to the masta was already visible, it would probably take 2-3 hours to get there. Even in kfp 3 he took longer to fall asleep, but that was before he entered the spirit world. Despite the fact that Zhen traveled just as much as Po. Zhen could have slept lying on his backpack while they were traveling.
And if it were true. That Po is a spirit warrior. He is definitely unaware of it.
All right. At the end. Now let's move on to why Po chose Zhen.
Let's discuss Taing Lung first because it is the easiest.
He is dead. 💀
Okay now let's move on to Tigress. Tigress could be the next dragon warrior. But there are a few reasons why not.
#1- I suspect that Tigress no longer wants to be a dragon warrior even if she had a chance to become one.
#2 - She's a good fighter, but I think she'd have trouble shrugging off some of the Kung Fu stereotypes like Po did. A way of teaching or selecting someone to succeed you.
#3 - Po and Tigress are almost the same age.
#4- In the third part it is seen that Chi Tigress is not as strong as Po.

Are we going to get more Marine Biology Mini Yuu with everyone being either Harpy or mermaids?
Yes, we are, actually! And I am so sorry for everyone who has been waiting, but I'm working my way through things!
I've been working on and off on the project for a little longer than I would care to admit, but after my hiatus (which I'm still easing myself into a pace I'm comfortable with again to avoid burnout), I decided to reattempt it to get a better flow.
If I can manage to figure out how to design things, I may attempt to do creature concept sketches for how the boys would look like in this AU like I've started doing for the Monster!AU so I can add it to the fic once it's done! 👀
At the moment, Rook is the only harpy in this version of the AU, but he will serve a role just like the others, and there shall be cuteness galore with mini!Yuu! ÙvÚ

i love rains and I know they are often used as a metaphor for sadness but no there's something so joyful about it!!
there's sth to be said about that feeling of letting it all out. let it pour, let it thunder, let it go. and then just take a deep breath, take in that petrichor, look at the vibrant green leaves, the clean glimmering streets, maybe you'll catch a rainbow and poof–
it's a fresh start. it's hope. it's love. <3
